History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

We couldn't think of better cemeteries to explore before Halloween than the two located in Sleepy Hollow, New York. We visited both in 2022 and highly recommend that everyone peruse them at least once in their lifetime. One cemetery is the Old Dutch Burying Ground that is situated next to the Old Dutch Church. The other cemetery is the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, which was originally named Tarrytown Cemetery as Sleepy Hollow only became an official village name in 1996. There are many notable people at final rest in both cemeteries.   Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

Cemeteries are some of our favorite locations and when they are haunted, it's like they are wrapped in a giant purple bow. Some are just little rural knockabout places with few burials. Others are large cemeteries with grand mausoleums. Some have legends that lean more towards the invented, while others have videos confirming that shadowy figures wander through the tombstones. All of them honor the dead, which may be why spirits are comfortable hanging out in them. Join us for Haunted Cemeteries #32! The Moment in Oddity features Burro Schmidt Tunnel.

We've heard people say that Tranquille Sanatorium was the good and the scary, all mixed together. This is a perfect description for this complex on the outskirts of Kamloops, British Columbia. The property was once a thriving self-sufficient city for the sick. It eventually housed the physically challenged and those with mental health issues. The grounds were beautiful and when we first recorded an episode about this location in 2016, there were attempts to revitalize the property. A farm moved in for awhile, but that is closed and a developer has just let the property go to waste. It is private property and has security, so there are no ghost hunts hosted there. Despite the basic abandonment, spirits continue to knock about the place. The years of loneliness and sadness seem to have been absorbed into the environment. Join us for the history and hauntings of Tranquille Sanatorium.  Check out the website: http://historygoesbump.com Music used in this episode: Main Theme: Creepy Carnival Theme  Created and produced by History Goes Bump Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Title: "Creaky Weird Stuff" Artist: Tim Kulig (timkulig.com) Licensed under Creative Commons By Attribution 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0997280/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

An abandoned and decaying building in Guthrie, Oklahoma has served a number of purposes throughout its history. This started as the Black Jail and then became a place of worship for the Nazarene Church. Then it was a social club before a cult known as the Samaritan Foundation made this their headquarters. And then there was the murder. It's no wonder that people say the place is haunted. Guthrie has a couple of other haunted locations as well including a train depot, theater and former saloon. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Black Jail and other haunts of Guthrie.

The Ouija board today is marketed as a harmless game. Most people believe that the boards don't do anything. For those that believe that communication can be established, they sit on two sides: the subconscious is controlling the communication or there is an unseen entity controlling the planchette that is flying across the board. Ouija boards get really interesting when they become integral parts of true crime cases. On this episode, we talk about several murder cases with Ouija boards involved.  Intro and Outro music: Bad Players - Licensed under a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, single-site, worldwide, royalty-free license agreement with Muse Music c/o Groove Studios.
