Trailer Trash Terrors

In this episode we discuss the tragic but fascinating life of Rhoda Derry. Sylvia Shults, the historian who has studied her life more than anyone else, and Dutch psychiatrist Bert van der Laan, help me delve deeply into the life and history of "Rhody," who spent most of 44 years in a "Utica Crib," gouged out her own eyes, was studied by "alienists" worldwide, and just perhaps, created a tulpa before her life fully deteriorated. If you've never heard this story, you truly do need to listen. If you have heard it, you've never heard it told like this. This episode ends with a story of Moll Derry, the witch of the Monongahela, the supernatural celebrity of the time, and Rhoda's grandmother. This is the final episode of season two.         

This episode looks at death from a few different perspectives, both fictional and true. As always with TTT, the approaches we take are just a little "offbeat." This episode has two short stories: The first, "The Scapegoat and the Abba Hawk," is about an ER doctor who slips between lives. The second, "The Street of Plum Wine Dreams," tells a love story, with several supernatural elements, and is centered around a man who has sen, and felt more death than he can easily reconcile. He may be a man who has the chance to die peacefully, even though he was not able to fulfill all of his dreams.

Oh...and we also cover some Momento Mori, and meet Wilbur the ethereal pest control expert! He's very high energy, and very cool, but is he really who he says he is?

Abe Sias, the man with a lifetime of experiences dealing with the demonic, gives us another awesome interview. We talk about what life is like when your spiritual gifts show you a world that very few people can perceive. We talk about the incredible importance of forgiveness in our lives, as well as the constant deception and attacks of the demonic world.

This episode starts out discussing "The Hat Man," strays into the inhabitants of the Paranormal Zoo, switches over to the granting of divine permission for painful paranormal events to occur, takes a detour over the Bell Witch territory,  and ends with a  deep exploration of how the human soul can be both damaged, and protected. It's a true theological and paranormal roller-coaster ride! A four hour and sixteen minute roller-coaster ride.

It's true, long-form, paranormal podcasting!

This is day five of the "seven episodes in seven days" challenge. Tonight, we present two original Vic Hermanson works of fiction: "Boys in the Trees," and "The Rajenek School for the Hopeless." This is also the simplest, and most sparse format ever used for a Trailer Trash Terrors episode. The microphone used in this episode si the Audio Technica 3035.

Beelzebubba tells the fascinating and truly frightening story of the Bell Witch, as only he can.

This is part one of a two episode set, in which Beelzebubba takes over the reins of the show, at least temporarily. In this episode, he tries to figure out just what manner of supernatural creature he actually is, and he starts a discussion about the Bell Witch, of Robertson County, Tennessee.

Day two of Trailer Trash Terrors microphone madness and Vic Veritas, during which we publish severn podcasts, in seven days. We talk about magic a little bit tonight. No conclusion, just a few varied thoughts. Oh, and Vic used a real "dogbreath" microphone today. Yeah, it sounds awful!

The story of an apparition, an apparition that seemed to be the ghost of a patient who had not yet died.

JJ, of Southern Demonology joins me to talk about black magic, dealing with difficult grieving, Unnaturally still men in black robes, an education received through ghost stories, achieving great sound in podcasting, the feeling of exposure when dealing with psychics, and at least a dozen other Trailer Trash Terrors Topics. This episode was great fun to produce.
