A century ago, Niagara Falls tourists enjoyed a winter attraction - ice forming a bridge over the river beneath the falls. When the ice broke free in 1912, a Cleveland youth turned from safety to help a struggling couple. Crowds were helpless to stop the ice floe from sailing them into crushing rapids. But where did the river hide their bodies? www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Learn more about your ad choices.

From late 1978 to late 1979, central Ohio was rocked by 10 murders that defied explanation - men and women shot dead randomly in their homes and doing everyday things. But a mistake with a credit card finally identified the killers as a pair of Columbus brothers, Gary and Thaddeus Lewingdon. Because all their victims were shot in the head with the same gun, they came to be called the .22 Caliber Killers. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

Ohio has been a major player in ufology since the modern era of UFOs began in 1947. But is it possible that the Buckeye state's involvement with flying saucers and aliens goes back even further, all the way back to the 1930s? Does Ohio have ties to another crashed UFO and aliens that happened long before the famous UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico? Join Dan and Mike, along with a special guest, as they discuss this incredible possibility.

In the early 1800s, Ashtabula shipbuilders lost nearly a dozen vessels in about 15 years, leading the superstitious industry to wonder if there was a curse on the port. We tell the stories behind five of those lost ships, including the Superior, which met a diabolical end, and the Elisha Whittlesey, upended in a terrible gale. The other three - the Tempest, the Elizabeth and the LaFayette Packet - were wrecked with Capt. Benjamin Napier at the helm. We also digress into the life of Napier, a man admired but mostly feared after he later became Lake Erie's land pirate, attempting to lay claim to Kelley's Island and kick off its inhabitants. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

Join us on a journey through the life and music of the legendary Screamin' Jay Hawkins, a trailblazing figure whose impact on rock 'n' roll and the blues reverberates to this day. Known for his wild stage presence, trademark growl, and flamboyant persona, Hawkins defied conventions and created a musical style uniquely his own. Born Jalacy Hawkins in the turbulent 1920s, his career took an unexpected turn with the recording of "I Put a Spell on You" in 1956, a song that would become his signature piece and a rock classic. But behind the theatrics and voodoo-inspired performances lay a complex artist grappling with personal demons and a restless creativity. We delve into Hawkins' early influences, his impact on the music industry, and the enduring mystery surrounding his life. From his electrifying live shows to his lesser-known collaborations and the lasting influence on artists like Alice Cooper and Tom Waits, this episode paints a vivid portrait of a man who defied categorization and left an indelible mark on the world of music. Tune in as we uncover the stories, the myths, and the magic of Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

A year later, Jordan heard from his former master, Col. PH Anderson, who asked him to come back to the plantation because the farm was failing and he was desperately needed. Jordon responded to Anderson in a letter that became a media sensation, while also offering a peek into a life and time. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

The coroner doesn't know how 18-year-old Heather Walker was killed, or even when she died during the two-and-a-half months she went missing in the winter of 2008. The mere fact that she was stuffed in a trash can on the east side of Dayton, however, was enough for a ruling of homicide, since she clearly didn't put herself there. Sixteen years later, her family is still hoping for answers, and detectives are confident someone out there has them. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
