Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThe road has a way of sharpening the strange. While recording from Arizona, we open a listener’s account that runs from goosebumps at Gettysburg to a charged encounter at Little Bighorn—complete with a flash of a white handlebar mustache, a flurry of ghost-hunting gear, and a ranger’s timely invitation to leave. That single thread pulls us into the Stonehouse’s layered folklore, the early “ghost herders” who tended more than grounds, and the meticulous identification of Lieutenant Benjamin H. Hodson as a recurring presence tied to the battle’s grief.We dig into the uneasy balance between curiosity and caution. Tours have routes for a reason; history sites carry legal lines and very real physical risks. Still, stories persist: lights that wake themselves, doors that resist and then yield, shadows that fold back into the walls. We explore claims of time slips on the Little Bighorn battlefield, Native traditions of portals that bend time and place, and the many reports of Custer’s ghost pacing museum corridors in utter silence. Whether you treat these accounts as folklore, psychology, or the paranormal, the landscape refuses to flatten into dates and plaques—it asks for humility, context, and respect.You’ll hear practical field wisdom alongside vivid storytelling: how fleeting peripheral sightings can spark hours of EVP sessions, why “consequences” is more than a punchline, and how research can give a face and a name to a figure at the edge of vision. If haunted travel, American history, battlefield lore, or ghost stories are your thing, this one brings them together with care and clear eyes. Listen, share your own battlefield experiences, and help us map where history still speaks.
