Ghostly

Do Bonnie and Clyde still haunt this earth? In Ghostly’s thirty-sixth episode, Pat and Rebecca tell the story of Bonnie and Clyde in honor of Valentine’s Day. These partners in crime loved each other fiercely in life…and also in death? In this paranormal podcast, hear the tale of the Barrow gang and decide if these lovers’ spirits linger.

Who was Clyde Barrow? Who was Bonnie Parker? How did they meet? What led them to a life of crime, and how did they become so famous? Who else was in the Barrow Gang? What crimes did they commit? How did they get caught, and how did they die? Where have people seen their ghosts? What is the death car? Do Bonnie and Clyde still haunt this world?

Listen to Rebecca tell a story based on the Baker Hotel, one of the places people claim to have seen the ghosts of Bonnie and Clyde.

Listen to Pat give the fascinating history of Bonnie and Clyde. The famous gangsters were bank robbers, murders, and lovers. After growing up in and out of prison, Clyde decided he would never be taken alive and Bonnie wanted to join him in a life of fame and glory. Former Texas Ranger Frank Hamer and his posse granted the duo their wish in May 1934 near Gibsland, Louisiana when they ambushed the couple and shot up their car.

Since Bonnie and Clyde’s gruesome deaths, their ghosts have been sighted where they died, where they are buried, in the car they were shot in, and in some of the places they stayed in the life on the run. Listen to Pat and Rebecca debate these sightings and give their believability ratings.

Listen to Pat give the history of Alcatraz prison. He explains how it came into the hands of the United States government, and then discusses the Rock’s dark history of being first a military fortress and then a maximum-security federal penitentiary.

Alcatraz was only in use for 29 years as a federal prison. But during that time it housed some of the most notorious criminals in American History.

• Al Capone
• The Birdman of Alcatraz – Robert Franklin Stroud (who was actually a Ornithologist, but he couldn’t keep birds on Alcatraz) (he was also a pimp at the age of 18 in Alaska)
• George “Machine Gun” Kelly
• Bumpy Johnson (got the name from a bump on the back of his head)
• Rafael Cancel Miranda (a member of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party who attacked the United States Capitol building in 1954)
• Mickey Cohen (who was actually a Professional Boxer and a mobster boss)
• Arthur R. “Doc” Barker (he was killed while trying to escape Alcatraz)
• Alvin “Creepy” Karpis (holds the record for the most time in prison on Alcatraz – 26 years) named creepy because of his sinister smile. He was a Canadian and of Lithuanian decent

Join Pat and Rebecca for a debate on several of the most often told stories of the prison. Cell Blocks D and C are full of ghost stories and former guards and even a warden have spooky experiences to share. Are they telling the truth? Listen and you decide.
