Episode 150: Helen's Bridge:

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2106811/fan_mail/new] We have a short local urban legend for you folks today, the tale of Helen's Bridge in Asheville NC.  Built in the early 1900's to get to the Zealandia Mansion, this bridge is said to be the sight where a grieving mother took her own life. And now she haunts the bridge looking for her baby.  If you were to go up to the bridge it is said your car could stall, or you might even see Helen out looking for her baby.   TPL EP 150 Source Notes: https://americanghoststories.com/southern-ghost-stories/north-carolina/the-haunting-of-helens-bridge-asheville-nc [https://americanghoststories.com/southern-ghost-stories/north-carolina/the-haunting-of-helens-bridge-asheville-nc] https://828newsnow.com/news/228822-strangeville-the-ghost-story-that-haunts-two-buncombe-county-mountains/ [https://828newsnow.com/news/228822-strangeville-the-ghost-story-that-haunts-two-buncombe-county-mountains/] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/TheParanormalLovers] Thanks for joining us today!

Episode 149: The Gallinipper:

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2106811/fan_mail/new] This week Ian is taking another look at a somewhat local cryptid. Local to us in that it seems to live in our state, albeit, on the other side. And I could not be happier about that! We deal with our fair share of mosquitos in WNC, but in the swamp land of ENC there lives one that is said to be the size of a man, or at least a very large bird. Gallinipper is it's name and if it decides your blood should be it's next meal, that is lights out!

ROH Rerelease: Episode 23: The Murder of Ruthie Mae McCoy

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!
