Descripción

America is full of creepy tales about ghosts that give us chills. We’ll explore some of the most famous ones. (The Most Famous Ghosts In America) *** In 1996, in a quiet neighborhood in Austin, Texas, something terrible happened to six-year-old Katherine Korzilius. She was a sweet girl who wanted to show she could walk home alone from the mailbox. But when her family returned from shopping, Katherine was missing. What happened to her? Was it an accident, or something worse? (What Happened to Katherine Korzilius?) *** It’s October 21, 1638, and the quaint English village of Widecombe-in-the-moor is holding services at St. Pancras church. But this Sunday will be like no other. As Minister George Lyde speaks to his 300 congregants, darkness engulfs the church, followed by thunder so loud it shakes the stone walls. Then, a fiery orb crashes through a window, causing chaos and destruction. Witnesses describe terrifying scenes: a man’s head bashed against a pillar, a dog thrown into the air by flames, and bodies burnt to ash while clothes remain untouched. What happened at this small-town church? (The Scalding and Burning of 1638) *** Ever heard of criminals so clueless they seem straight out of a cartoon? From bungling burglars to comically misguided crooks, some cartoon criminals will have you laughing and shaking your head at the same time. (Cartoon Criminals) *** Sin-eaters are described as people hired to assume the sins of a dead person by eating food placed near the corpse. Why did society feel the need for such a service and why would a person choose to accept a role which was viewed with such revulsion? (Sin Eaters: Saviors of the Walking Damned)

Wicked Curious Radio - Echoes Beneath the Water, The Ghostly History of Maine’s Lakes

As summer settles across Maine’s lakes, thousands gather along the water’s edge to swim, boat, and relax beneath sunny skies. But beneath the sparkling surface lie stories of loss, tragedy, and communities forever changed. In this episode of Wicked Curious, we explore two haunting chapters of Maine history. First, we journey beneath the waters of Flagstaff Lake, where entire towns—including Flagstaff and Dead River—were sacrificed and flooded in the name of progress. Then we travel to the shores of Belgrade Lakes, where a devastating fire consumed the grand Belgrade Lakes Hotel, leaving behind memories, legends, and whispers of a bygone era. From burning forests and drowned homesteads to vanished landmarks and lingering spirits, these stories reveal how the lakes we treasure today often conceal forgotten histories beneath their calm surfaces. So pull up a chair by the campfire, listen to the loons calling across the water, and join us for an evening of Maine’s most fascinating lake legends. Because sometimes the deepest stories are the ones hidden beneath the surface.
