• The Greenbrier Ghost

  Zona Heaster Shue—a young bride with her whole life ahead—died from heart failure or possibly complications from a miscarriage. Or was it murder? Zona’s heartbroken mother insisted her daughter had been murdered by her newlywed husband. Moreover, she claimed that Zona's ghost appeared to her and shared a story different from what her death certificate indicated. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/autumn-s-oddities--5307439/support.

• The Watseka Wonder

  At the height of the spiritualist movement of the late 19th century, an obscure teen in a small Midwest town became a celebrity. Whether it was the effects of mental illness, an undiagnosed sleep disorder, or an actual case of possession, Mary "Lurancy" Vennum was thrust onto a national stage by true believers who were convinced that she had special powers to talk to the dead.Baird, A.

• Baba Yaga

  The Slavic crone, known for living in a house built on chicken legs and feasting on children, is a complex character. In fairy tales, women of a certain age usually take one of two roles: the wicked witch or the evil stepmother, and sometimes both. Baba Yaga is all that and a house on chicken legs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/autumn-s-oddities--5307439/support.
