Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2106811/fan_mail/new] Life has gotten a little chaotic lately, so we have not recorded in a couple weeks, but we wanted to let yall know we are not going anywhere, just life lifeing. Enjoy this episode from Rethinking Our History about the murder behind one of the most popular cult classics around.  In 1992 the cult classic movie Candyman made it's way to movie theaters, and more than a few people recognized the story line to be much more than just a nightmare. For folks living in the ABLA homes, the thought of someone breaking in through their bathroom cabinets was not an irrational fear, but one they lived with daily. In comes 52 year old Ruthie Mae who had been a resident of Abbott homes for four years. Having lived a long hard life Ruthies was on the path to freedom and safety, but her journey was cut short when two young men broke in through her medicine cabinet and murdered her. And so a legend was born that has haunted generations for over three decades. And for those who still live in these buildings, it's more than a legend, it is their day to day life.

Episode 148: Hauntings At NYU:

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2106811/fan_mail/new] After our history episode about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire I was interested to know how haunted the college campus that the building sits on is. Turns out it is quite haunted.  From the fire that killed 146 factory workers, to a graveyard of yellow fever patients buried under a beloved park, there are many spirits that roam the halls and campus of New York University.   TPL EP 148 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_New_York_University [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_New_York_University] https://meet.nyu.edu/academics/student-voices/spirits-of-the-square-uncovering-nyus-haunted-history/ [https://meet.nyu.edu/academics/student-voices/spirits-of-the-square-uncovering-nyus-haunted-history/] https://nyulocal.com/a-ghostly-presence-at-nyu-f74dfa510f6c [https://nyulocal.com/a-ghostly-presence-at-nyu-f74dfa510f6c] https://nyghosts.com/brown-building/ [https://nyghosts.com/brown-building/] https://nyunews.com/2024/11/01/tales-of-a-haunted-campus/ [https://nyunews.com/2024/11/01/tales-of-a-haunted-campus/] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/TheParanormalLovers] Thanks for joining us today!

Episode 147: The Mothman of Japan:

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2106811/fan_mail/new] The US is not the only place to have tales of a large humanoid bird like figure.  Even before the nuclear reactor meltdown at Fukushima, there had been reports of strange flying creatures across the islands. One such creature was even shot and killed, and reported to be a large bee.  But years later when the reactor melted down, there was a report of humanoid bird like figure in the area just before it happened.  Does Japan have her own Mothman, something else, or is Mothman one of many alien like creatures that live below our feet?  TPL EP 147 Source Notes: https://journalnews.com.ph/strange-tales-of-disaster-and-the-mothman-in-japan/#gsc.tab=0 [https://journalnews.com.ph/strange-tales-of-disaster-and-the-mothman-in-japan/#gsc.tab=0] https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Massive_Carpenter_Bee [https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Massive_Carpenter_Bee] https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kyoto_Mothman [https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kyoto_Mothman] https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kyoto_Winged_Humanoid [https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kyoto_Winged_Humanoid] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai] https://journalnews.com.ph/strange-tales-of-disaster-and-the-mothman-in-japan/#gsc.tab=0 [https://journalnews.com.ph/strange-tales-of-disaster-and-the-mothman-in-japan/#gsc.tab=0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/TheParanormalLovers] Thanks for joining us today!

Episode 146: The LaRouche Movement Part 3:

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2106811/fan_mail/new] We are ending our look at the LaRouche Movement this week with Part 3.  After getting out of jail LaRouche spiraled even deeper into paranoia. His followers were on the front lines of climate change deniers, and Obama haters, and had their safety threatened more than once.  The worst part of all this is even after he died, his followers are still pushing his ideals to the masses. From websites to local elections the LaRouche Movement did not died when Lyndon did, but lives on to promote his message.   TPL EP 146 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-Steagall_Act [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-Steagall_Act] https://www.laroucheorganization.com/ [https://www.laroucheorganization.com/] https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/larouche-organization-c4a81e [https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/larouche-organization-c4a81e] https://newrepublic.com/article/170290/lyndon-larouche-godfather-political-paranoia-cult-still-alive-unwell [https://newrepublic.com/article/170290/lyndon-larouche-godfather-political-paranoia-cult-still-alive-unwell] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/TheParanormalLovers] Thanks for joining us today!
