A Dead Cade of History Goes Bump!

Posted on by Posted in Special .

Welcome to our 10th anniversary! On October 1, 2014, the first episode of History Goes Bump dropped. I never imagined that this little hobby I had started up would get to over 8 million downloads, be nominated for awards, get covered in magazines and become another form of income for me. I just hoped my family and friends would listen and enjoy what they heard. But I also hoped that it would become more and get people excited about history and introduce people to some great historical locations. I hope in some small way that I’ve helped to develop your appreciation for historic architecture and inspired you to support the preservation of old buildings. And obviously, I hope that I’ve given you a welcome space for sharing your unexplained experiences and a community to care about you and what happens to your spirit, both here and in the afterlife. That is the greatest reward of all.

We share about some of our favorite episodes, Diane’s dad joins us to share a bit of family lore, we announce some new content coming your way and we share some of our favorite bloopers!

Greenwich Village, Ep. 331

Posted on by Posted in Haunted Location .

Greenwich Village is on the island of Manhattan in New York City. After European settlement, this area would become a place for carriage houses, black servant quarters and row homes. The area would industrialize and become home to slums. Eventually, the avant-garde would come and soon beatniks, hippies, artists and homosexuals called The Village home. Upscale stores moved in and New York University bought up historic buildings and gutted them. Residents have not embraced these changes, nor does it seem, have the ghosts. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of Greenwich Village. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Jannae McCabe and features the Dracula Parrot and This Month in History features the end of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Our tour was through NY Ghosts.

Haunted Lawrenceville, Georgia, Ep. 313

Posted on by Posted in Haunted Location .

Lawrenceville is a quaint town about forty minutes outside of Atlanta and is actually the second oldest town in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The historic downtown is full of storefront restaurants and shops. One would not think that this city has a paranormal essence to it, but as we found while taking a ghost tour, there are many stories of the unexplained here. Not something a city that is the headquarters of the Presbyterian Church of America would really want to champion, but their city website does have a link for ghost tours. Join me as I share the history, lore and hauntings of Lawrenceville, Georgia. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Breanne Sanford and features Old Bill as a tourist attraction and This Month in History features the Ocoee Massacre.
