Episode Synopsis

In honor of Halloween, we get spooky this week. Taylor tells stories of the Black Dog of Lake Erie. Is it out for revenge on the uncaring sailors who allowed it to drown in the Welland Canal? And Tanner relates the tales of ghostly happenings around the 1873 sinking of the steamer Ironsides in Lake Michigan, and Connecticut's steamship Atlantic disaster from 1846. Does the spirit of young Henry Valentine still cry for help from passing mariners in Lake Michigan?  Does the bell of the Atlantic still toll out in mourning for the lives she lost? *Originally released 10/31/21; edited and re-uploaded 3/26/22Selected Sources: Carter, Donald.
