Legend of the Grim Reaper, Ep. 510

Posted on October 26, 2023 by History Goes Bump Posted in Urban Legend .

Don’t fear the Reaper! Ep. 510 is all about this entity! There is a pretty standard description of the Grim Reaper. Generally speaking, people envision a cloaked skeleton carrying a scythe. But there is so much more to this figure that has become the personification of death. On this episode, we are going to explore the centuries of mythology around the embodiment of death and explore whether this is an actual entity. And is this someone or something that we should fear? The Moment in Oddity features a soldier carrying his eyeball and This Month in History features The Gateway Arch.

Butterworth Building, Ep. 403

Posted on September 23, 2021 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

The Butterworth Building in Seattle, Washington is home to Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub. This building had once been home to a mortuary and the man who built and ran that is credited with creating the terms mortuary and mortician. Nearly all of Seattle’s dead at that time passed through the doors here and with that many dead bodies, there is little surprise that this building has many ghost stories connected to it. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Butterworth Building! The Moment in Oddity features The Devil of Scott County and This Month in History features Washington laying the Capitol cornerstone.
