Bob After Dark

When you think of New Orleans, and presumably a fan of this show, then you may think of it as one of the most haunted places in the world. Nearly every bar, restaurant, and shop have some sort of ghost story at their location. The topic of this week is one of these locations, one of the most haunted bars in the country. The Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar has a history dating back a long time. It's story involves criminals, pirates, shady business fronts, and a place where you can find spirits and well...spirits.

When you think of Indiana, the last image you think of could hauntings. Images of the Indy 500, corn, Indiana Beach, and perhaps the home of Bob After Dark may come to mind. Well, nestled in the states capital in Indianapolis is a historic home built in 1858 by Alexander Hannah. This beautiful home still stands today as a relic of the era. Wide open rooms, old furniture, and the original carpeting still sit the home today. Thinking past the architectural aspects of the house, the idea that this place fits every stereotype of a classic haunted house story. If that was your thought, then you would be absolutely correct. The original residents of the house are still said to be inhabiting the home, and others as well. Upon further inspection, you find out the basement of the home was used to hide slaves away as they escaped slavery of the south, and move them along on the final parts of freedom of the north.

Pooka. The designated driver from Hell. The late night ride for anyone out past their bed time performing in some sort of debauchery. We are nearing the end of the Fae Lore Month, and talking about the legendary Pooka. This creature is known for getting drunks, workers of the night, and various performers of adultery to hop on it's back and take a wild ride. These things run fast, cause weather changes, and if provoked? Can cause the Pookah wrath. Including making chickens unable to lay eggs, and cause cows to produce spoiled milk.

A horse is a...uh...horse of course? Right? Well, maybe not all the time. This week kicks off Fae Lore month! The entire month of March we celebrate all things lore from world of the Fae Realm. Now, we are conditioned to look at Fae as creatures such as a tiny being with wings that children tell fables about. Truth is, not all Fae are considered equal. In this episode, we look at a horse type Fae that have a dangerous side. The Kelpie is known as a Fae creature that is known to lure in people by shapeshifting, and well...bringing them into water to eat them. The Kelpie originate from Scotland, and their stories and abilities vary from region to region.
