Paranormal Conversations are random, off-the-cuff discussions on all things paranormal. On this 17th Paranormal Conversation, we are joined by the hosts of The Activity Continues Podcast: Amy Lotsberg, Megan Simmons and Amy Piersak. The trio talk about all things paranormal on their podcast, especially the series Dead Files. We discussed messages from beyond the grave from lost loved ones, deceased pets sending us messages, a Djinn experience, why men seem to be more skeptical than women and Frank the Farmer. Everybody needs a dead friend like Frank the Farmer!

America's industrial past lends itself to ghost stories. No one can doubt that working in industrial mills was a dangerous enterprise. These mills employed whole families, including children starting at six-years-old. Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island covers five acres in the Blackstone River Valley and is credited with being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. There are three buildings on the property and all of them are reputedly haunted. The Blackstone Valley has several haunted locations and we'll also explore Tavern on the Main. Join us for the history and hauntings of Old Slater Mill and Tavern on the Main! The Moment in Oddity features Chachapoya Mummies and This Month in History features the Smallpox Vaccine. Our location was suggested by Laura Frye.

Ep. 537 - Old Slater Mill and Tavern on Main

Gerard John Schaefer had been a Florida Law Enforcement Officer. Police are some of our most trusted public servants. Our default position when it comes to police officers is to trust them. And most of the time, that position is correct. But sometimes it can be wrong. Very wrong. That was the case with Gerard John Schaefer. He was a prolific serial killer during the heyday of serial killers in the 1960s and 1970s. There are those who say he made Ted Bundy look like a Boy Scout. Many serial killers have a particular place they gravitate to for dumping bodies. Schaefer had a place he liked to torture and kill young women. That place is known as the Devil's Tree.  Intro and Outro music: Bad Players - Licensed under a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, single-site, worldwide, royalty-free license agreement with Muse Music c/o Groove Studios.

Ep. 536 - Artisan Investigation and Haunted Deland

The Oliver House is located in Bisbee, Arizona, a quaint town with a historic mining background. As is the case in most mining towns, this town has a rich history with gambling, prostitution and murder taking center stage. The Bisbee of the modern era may have quieted considerably, but the unseen world has not stopped kicking up its heels. Long dead residents still seem to be hanging around and one of their favorite places to knock about is the Oliver House.

Oliver House Redux

The Berrima Courthouse in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales in Australia is a great example of colonial architecture. The courthouse was a necessity as the colony was built on convicts and many continued their wayward deeds. The village of Berrima itself was an important stop on the path from Sydney to Victoria and there were several hotels in the area. Many historic structures still remain and spirits just may be inhabiting them, including the ghost of Australia's first serial killer. Join us as we explore the history and haunts of Berrima, Australia! The Moment in Oddity features the Crawfordsville Monster and This Month in History features the birth of Edward Everett. Our location was suggested by Julie Barton.
