  2. Number 2: OM Backroads: Ep. 116: Lake Erie's Legendary Marblehead Lighthouse

    Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. What lurks in the shadows of Ohio’s backroads, forgotten cemeteries, and hidden corners of history? Join us as we uncover the Buckeye State’s most chilling legends, mysterious sightings, and enduring folklore. Marblehead Lighthouse: The Guardian of Lake Erie Perched on the rocky shores of Lake Erie, the Marblehead Lighthouse has stood watch over Ohio’s dangerous western basin for nearly two centuries. In this episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads, we travel to the Marblehead Peninsula to explore the history, legends, shipwrecks, keepers, and stories surrounding one of Ohio’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1822, Marblehead Lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. For generations, its beacon has guided ships safely around the rocky Marblehead Peninsula and toward the harbors of Lake Erie. But behind that familiar tower is a fascinating history filled with storms, treacherous waters, lighthouse keepers, and the ever-present danger of the lake. We’ll look at why the lighthouse was built, what life was like for the keepers and their families, and how the technology of the light changed over the years. We’ll also explore some of the dramatic storms and maritime disasters that occurred in the waters surrounding Marblehead—and the stories of the men and women who kept the light burning when Lake Erie turned violent. From the lonely life of a lighthouse keeper to the ships battling darkness, fog, ice, and massive waves, the Marblehead Lighthouse is more than a beautiful landmark. It is a reminder of the dangerous relationship between Ohio and the Great Lakes. So join Dan and Stephen as we head down the backroads to Marblehead, Ohio, and uncover the history and mysteries behind the Marblehead Lighthouse—the guardian of Lake Erie. Blending local history, eyewitness accounts, folklore, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this podcast explores the legends that refuse to die. Whether you're a paranormal enthusiast, a history buff, or simply fascinated by the unexplained, you'll discover that Ohio's darkest stories are often its most unforgettable.

  3. Number 3: OM Backroads: Ep. 120: The daring train robbery of Garretsville, Ohio by Alvin "Creepy" Karpis

    Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. What lurks in the shadows of Ohio’s backroads, forgotten cemeteries, and hidden corners of history? Join us as we uncover the Buckeye State’s most chilling legends, mysterious sightings, and enduring folklore. Ohio Mysteries Backroads: The Garrettsville Train Robbery — Alvin Karpis Comes to Ohio In the quiet countryside of Portage County, Ohio, the village of Garrettsville seems like an unlikely setting for one of America’s most notorious criminals. But during the violent era of the Great Depression, the backroads of Ohio became part of the story of Alvin “Creepy” Karpis, one of the FBI’s most wanted gangsters and a key figure in the infamous Barker-Karpis gang. In this episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads, we travel back to the days when armored trains, bank robbers, gangsters, and federal agents were locked in a nationwide battle. Our story takes us to Garrettsville, Ohio, where a train robbery brought the national crime wave of the 1930s frighteningly close to home. We explore what happened, how Karpis and his associates operated, and why Ohio's rail lines and isolated rural communities could become attractive targets for Depression-era criminals. We'll look at the world that produced Karpis—the desperate economic conditions, the rise of organized crime, the getaway routes, and the growing presence of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. We'll also separate the documented history from the legends that have grown around the robbery over the decades. Who was Alvin Karpis? Why did his gang come to Ohio? What happened along the railroad near Garrettsville? And how did law enforcement eventually close the net around one of America's most elusive gangsters? Join Ohio Mysteries Backroads as we leave the highways and take a trip down the old railroad tracks into the dangerous world of 1930s Ohio, where a seemingly peaceful town found itself caught in the crosshairs of America's gangster era. This is the Garrettsville train robbery—and the Ohio connection to Alvin Karpis. Blending local history, eyewitness accounts, folklore, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this podcast explores the legends that refuse to die. Whether you're a paranormal enthusiast, a history buff, or simply fascinated by the unexplained, you'll discover that Ohio's darkest stories are often its most unforgettable.
