Stones and Bones Ep. 11 - Of Obelisks and Columns

Vast areas of the oceans have never been explored, but there are also places on the earth that have been left untouched. Particularly the mountains. Some are so high, men can only dream of scaling them. Others are so thick with vegetation, it is impossible to penetrate deeply. Fathomless mysteries are hidden within them. Several of these mountains have legends connected to them, making them mystical. The irony of many of these mystical peaks is that although they rise high above the horizon, their roots go deep, many ushering an entrance to the underworld. Join us as we share some of the world's mystic mountains! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Chelsea Flowers and features Skin Furniture and This Month in History features Betty Boop makes her debut.

New Orleans, Louisiana is well known for its legends and its ghosts. Like every other large city, it has played host to some heinous crimes and the 700 block of Ursulines Avenue seems to be a murder block. Is there something evil here? A legend grew up around a sensational crime that took place here in 1927 starring a spectre nicknamed "The Sausage Ghost." Seventy-five years later, another very similar and grotesque crime occurred just a couple doors down the block.

Denver was considered the Queen City of the Plains during the Victorian era and by 1867, it was designated the territorial capital.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a well known piece of fiction written by Washington Irving in 1819. Many of us first heard the story in our youth and the tale fueled our imagination with images of a headless horseman chasing a man through the forest, carrying a fiery pumpkin that represented his head. It was a terrifying tale. But is this just simply a piece of fiction? Is there some truth to the story? Headless figures are quite common in the world of the paranormal. And the setting for Irving's story is a real place with real locations mentioned in the tale. We've actually gotten to visit it and even paid our respects at the cemetery, which is Irving's final resting place. Join us as we explore the legends of the headless horseman and the history and hauntings of Sleepy Hollow!
