The Lesser Known Pod

Continuing Down the Mother Road - Missouri


Listen Later

Let's go, we’re taking you on a historic and haunted road trip down Missouri’s stretch of Route 66! In this episode, we are diving headfirst into the eerie side of the Mother Road — from the Gilded Age glamour (and ghostly guests) of Rockcliffe Mansion, to the mysterious halls of Pythian Castle, where shadowy figures and giggling children still linger. And just when you think you’re safe? We’re taking a sharp, possibly haunted, turn through Devil’s Elbow — because of course a place with that name has a few ghost stories of its own. We’ll chat about the history that built these places… and the spirits that apparently never checked out. Whether you’re into old mansions, creepy castles, or roads that give you goosebumps, this one’s for you. So grab a snack, keep one hand on the wheel (and maybe a hand on your EMF reader), and join us for some spooky Missouri magic on Route 66. What You’ll Take Away (without spoilers, promise):  Missouri’s stretch of Route 66 has layers — history, tragedy, and hauntings galore.  Rockcliffe Mansion is a perfectly preserved time capsule… with one very haunted room.  Pythian Castle once housed orphans and soldiers — now it’s got a few ghostly residents.  Devil’s Elbow: where the road’s as twisted as the legends that haunt it.  Every stop has its own mix of truth, tragedy, and tall tales — and we’re unpacking them all. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5... https://www.rockcliffemansion.com/ava... You should check this out too... this is where I got the ghost photos at Pythian Castle:    • Pythian Castle Ghost Photos 4 3 2023
