Lake Eerie Library

Get out your black suits, dust off your X-Files, and make room for space pancakes because this week's episode is chock full of aliens, ghosts, haunted planes, conspiracy theories, military and aviation history, and more! The Librarians are here to tell you all about Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the home of Project Blue Book and the infamous (and most likely not real) Hangar 18 that's full of UFO wreckage and E.B.Es from the Roswell crash and one really angry guy that just wishes people would stop asking about aliens.

By God! It's Sam's theme music! It's Sam with the Mandible Claw!

The Librarians pick up where they left off with the SECOND trial of Sam Sheppard. They tag team Sam's short lived but impactful wrestling career (no crotch socks were harmed in the making of this episode) and present another possible theory into who really killed Marilyn Sheppard.

Part 2 of 2 

TW: Descriptions of graphic injury, child loss, suicide, substance abuse and mention of sexual assault

Dr. Samuel Sheppard had it all: Good looks, youth, a promising medical career, a beautiful wife and son, and a home in idyllic Bay Village, Ohio. On July 4th, 1954 all that changed. 

The Librarians dive into the completely bonkers story of the murder of Marilyn Reese Sheppard, the mysterious alleged intruder, her husband Sam's multiple murder trials, a totally random connection to professional wrestling AND Harrison Ford, and the absolute injustice of the legal system and media fanaticism during what was called the Crime of The Century.

TW: Descriptions of graphic injury, child loss, suicide, and substance abuse. 

"My bloody valentine...sweet scary valentine...you make us smile in the mines..."

Love (and coal dust) are in the air this week as the Librarians discuss both My Bloody Valentine and My Bloody Valentine 3D. If you've never seen either movie, never fear! You'll be able to enjoy the first part of the episode spoiler free before the librarians take the mine car deeper into detailed territory. 

So grab your Spider-Man blankets, and freshly boiled hot dogs and settle in for this weeks episode! 

Despite one of them experiencing a stabbing at Applebee's, the Librarians are back this week to dish all about Crybaby Bridges and the weirdly prolific amount of them in the Buckeye State. Whether there's truth to the stories or they're all simply folklore watch out for those Foley Artist Ghosts, Satanic Cults, Neil Patrick Harris, and Ohio Winter driving conditions. 

This week's episode features a roundup of Winter themed horror films guaranteed to give you chills (or at least something to talk about on a first date) From Stephen King to new scream queens, there's something for everyone. 

The Librarians are falling apart, Britta bullies a dead guy, Beth defends her OG horror bestie Eddie, surprisingly no one has Diphtheria (take that, Balto!) and overall the vibes are...a lot. Anyway, Happy Birthday Edgar Allen Poe! 

Happy New Year, Library Listeners!

The Librarians return after a week off to tell you the sordid tales of two of Ohio's haunted hotels: Lebanon's The Golden Lamb- a site tied to many civil war stories and some spirits who probably enjoy slapstick comedy, and Punderson State Park's Punderson Manor Lodge and Conference Center- home to at least one specter who might have escaped Disney's Haunted Mansion ride, amongst many other ghostly inhabitants. So sit back, relax, and help us kick off 2024 at the Lake Eerie Library!

Merry Christmas Eve, Listeners! Hopefully you're already enjoying a Christmas book flood but if you need some seasonal spine-tinglers to get you through the end of the year, the Librarians are here with some Christmas Horror Book Recs! Enjoy an extra brief cultural education on Iceland's Jólabókaflóðið and an appearance by special holiday guest- the infamous Tater Tot! 

The Librarians stopped their cookie baking and descended from Mt. Crumpet to bring you this list of Christmas Horror Film recommendations.  Will they cover the classics? Or will they all be obscure indie horror titles? Can you tell us about these elves? Did you feed your new pet after midnight? What level did you park on in the garage and do they validate? All these questions and more await you in this weeks episode!
