This week I am joined by Andy Harpole of the Friends Of Eastern Cemetery in Louisville, KY. Eastern Cemetery has a long history of grave desecration and abuse begining as early as the 1800's. A feature of the otherwise beautiful Highlands neigborhood in Louisville, Kentucky it is bordered by the amazing Cave Hill cemetery. Join us as Andy shares the sad history of this amazing place, as well as the stories of some of those interred here, and the wonderful work he and other volunteers have undergone to restore this last resting place of some of the most amazing denizens of Louisville's History to it's rightful order to the best of their ability. If you are at all moved by the story and think you can in any way help with the restoration of this sacred space, then please check out www.friendsofeasterncemetery.com and give the documentary "Facing East: The True Story of the Most Over buried Cemetery in America" a view and share!

And.....we are back! Season 4 of If You Have Ghosts You Have Everything... starts now.

On today's episode I recount some synchronicities in my life over the past few weeks. From my visit to George Washington's Mount Vernon to Pine Lake Indiana and then a visit to the grave of Indiana's own Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon fame. The past few weeks have been interesting. Forgive my voice on a few of these recordings as I was recovering from Covid on a couple of these. I should add here that the synchronicities have continued in subsequent days, including a freak mechanical incident with my truck that saw me working on the truck on Saturday morning only to look up and see a Ford Galaxie (a car of the type that Shannon once owned) rolling down the highway by the house.

I hope you enjoy and please give a five star review as well as share where you can. I have been incredibly happy to see our listenership increase so dramatically since our appearance on A.I.: Applachian Intelligence and UnComftorable podcast. I will continue the Indiana/world giants stories, the Books of Enoch, Giants, and Jubilees this season and plan to work with J.J.Rose777 on a project as well. Stay tuned and please support our work at:

Tonight on IYHGYHE Spooky Season Bonus episode 3.....

We look at the Brothers Grimm and the origins of their fantastic fairy tales. We take a look at how truly dark the stories were originally and their overt meanings and then dive into narrated versions of Red Riding Hood from four different cultural perspectives. This episode was by far one of my favorites to research and record and I will be doing a couple of other fairy tales in a similar method for this months bonus season! Definitely dim the lights, light a candle, and get comftorable around a good speaker or with headphones for this very special episode!
