Ep. 282 - The Great Wall of China

Visiting the Great Wall of China is a bucket list item for many people. This man-made structure runs west to east across northern China for 13,171 miles. Construction began with the First Emperor of China over two thousand years ago. Building would continue for centuries with most of the work being done during the Ming Dynasty and actually, most of the original wall no longer exists. Thousands of people died while building the Wall and many died in battles near and on the Wall. This much death seems to have lead to paranormal activity. The Wall is said to be the most haunted structure in China. There are many ghosts seen here. Join me as I explore the history and hauntings of the Great Wall of China! Moment in Oddity was suggested by Pat Clifford and features Sarah's Grave and This Month in History was suggested by Johnny Marvin Allen and features the murder of Stringbean Akeman. Our location was suggested by Katrina Ray-Saulis.
