The Moodus Noises
The people of East Haddam have lived with a problem most towns never have to think about: the ground itself screams. For centuries, residents around Mount Tom and Moodus have reported sudden, deafening booms that shake houses, topple stone walls, and roll across the Connecticut River Valley like artillery fire from an invisible war. The Wangunk called it Machimoodus - “the place of bad noises.” The Puritans blamed God. Later generations blamed witches, alchemists, and even buried gems glowing in the dark.But the real story is stranger. And much louder.In this episode, we trace the history of the Moodus Noises, from Hobomock and the Wangunk origin story, to Reverend Hosmer’s terrified letters, the legendary “surgery” of Dr. Steele and his Great Carbuncle, the summer resorts that turned the booms into a tourist attraction, Lovecraft’s Dunwich connection, the nuclear plant built alarmingly close by, and the modern seismologists who tried to pin it all on shallow, stressed bedrock… only to have the noises keep coming anyway.A tale of geology, religion, folklore, cosmic horror, and what happens when the loudest voice in town belongs to the earth itself.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

The White Lady of Union Cemetery - Connecticut
The White Lady of Easton isn’t just a campfire tale. She steps into the road. She dents steel. And for some drivers on Route 59, she changes the color of the world itself.For decades, witnesses have reported a woman in white drifting out of Union Cemetery, a colonial burial ground with a reputation that spans from Connecticut folklore to the files of the Warrens. Police officers, firefighters, commuters… all describing the same figure, the same intersection, the same terrifying moment when she appears directly in front of a moving car.But the real story is stranger. And much older.In this episode, we dig into the history behind Union Cemetery, the tragedies tied to its stones, the possible identities of the White Lady, from grieving mothers to murdered brides to victims thrown into forgotten sinkholes, and the modern chaos that fame brought to this quiet New England town. Because while the legends grow, the dents in the cars, the arrests, and the vandalized graves tell a much more complicated story.A tale of grief, violence, folklore, and the intersection where the living and the dead keep meeting whether they want to or not. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

The White Lady of Borley Rectory
Borley Rectory in Essex has been called many things: England’s most haunted house, a Gothic tragedy come to life, a fraud, a furnace, and a mirror for whatever fears people carried inside its walls. Families saw nuns gliding along garden paths. Servant bells rang in empty rooms. Walls filled with messages begging for help. And when the house finally burned in 1939, witnesses swore a woman stood in the flames, untouched.But the real story is stranger. And far more complicated.A tale of folklore, fraud, longing, loneliness, and why some houses don’t need to stand for their stories to survive. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

The Black Forest & Lost in the Pine
In the early 1990s, the Lee family moved into their dream home deep in Colorado’s Black Forest, five acres of quiet, towering pines, and distance from the world. What they found instead was a living nightmare. A home filled with orchestral music that played from empty rooms, chains dragging across empty floors, burning chemical fumes, and streaks of intelligent light moving through walls. Their security system was tripped over sixty times. Deputies witnessed the activity. Psychics claimed the land was a vortex. Others whispered about military experiments.For the Lees, the haunting wasn’t a story, it was a siege. One that drained their savings, fractured their family, and left behind a legacy of tragedy.This is one of the most documented and most disputed hauntings in American history. And still, after decades, nothing about the Black Forest makes sense.Some mysteries linger. Some wounds don’t close. And some houses never let go.Plus, the original story Lost in the pine - Chris takes a caretaker job in the Black Forest, but the woods don’t just watch him—they remember him.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!
