Rapid City and Hotel Alex Johnson, Ep. 435

Posted on May 12, 2022 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

Rapid City, South Dakota is full of great eats, history and culture. The Hotel Alex Johnson has been opened for nearly 100 years and is located in downtown Rapid City. The hotel has hosted celebrities, presidents and even a couple of ghosts. Today, the hotel is run as a part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, so the interior has been modernized, but that hasn’t chased away the spirits of the past. And this city has a couple of other haunted spots as well. Join us for the history and hauntings of Rapid City and the Hotel Alex Johnson. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Karen Miller and features the Kailasa Temple and This Month in History features Calamity Jane born.

Twin Bridges Orphanage, Ep. 431

Posted on April 14, 2022 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

There is not much out there more heartbreaking than a child with no parents because their parents have passed away. Except for perhaps, children who still have living parents and yet end up in an orphanage. In the state of Montana, many of these orphaned and abandoned children ended up in an orphanage located in the city of Twin Bridges. This was the Montana State Orphan’s Asylum that was also known as Twin Bridges Orphanage and later, the Montana Children’s Center. It opened in 1894 and housed children for 81 years. Today, it is closed and privately owned and is reputedly one of the more haunted locations in the state. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Twin Bridges Orphanage! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Jenny Lynne Raines and features beetles as clothing decoration and This Month in History features the beginning of the Black Hawk War.

Haunted Nantucket, Ep. 429

Posted on March 31, 2022 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

Fog regularly envelopes the island leading to it being nicknamed “The Little Grey Lady of the Sea.” It seems the perfect setting for a few ghost stories and this little island has plenty of them. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Nantucket! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Sarah Lynn Jones and features criminal confessions to skeleton and This Month in History features the Triple Conjunction blamed for the Black Death.

Haunted Cemeteries 22, Ep. 428

Posted on March 24, 2022 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

Every life is worth remembering. And that is what cemeteries are all about. Remembering those who have lived. Some of those people in graveyards were famous, some were powerful, but most are just like us. A mom or dad, sister or brother or perhaps a friend. Some of those who are buried have chosen to stay with their bodies. Their spirits glide through the tombstones. Other haunting activity in cemeteries seems to feed off the legends told or the rituals held. Join us on Haunted Cemeteries 22 as we share haunted cemeteries in Indiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by John Michaels and features Jack Daniels dying from a stubbed toe and This Month in History features “Oklahoma” debuting on Broadway.

The Village of Rugby, Ep. 427

Posted on March 17, 2022 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

A British author founded the village of Rugby in the beautiful Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. This was meant to be a utopia and for a time, it really was. Large Victorian buildings were constructed, social clubs were founded, lawn tennis was played and the library was stocked full of books and became the pride of the colony. Then it all ended amid financial issues, epidemics and fires. The village was revitalized in the 1960s and is a place tourists can visit for a time capsule into the Victorian era. And several locations in Rugby are reputedly haunted. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Rugby, Tennessee! The Moment in Oddity features The Valley of Headless Men and This Month in History features the death of Judge Roy Bean. Our location was suggested by Tammie Burroughs.
