Ep. 264 - The White Hurricane

3/11/2024
Great Lakes sailors often talk about the "Witch of November," autumn gales typical for that month that make the final trips of the season dangerous for freighters and other vessels. In November of 1913, the witch did her worst - the most deadly storm in the history of the Great Lakes, pulling 12 ships to the bottom of lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan and Erie and killing more than 250 people. This is the story of what has come to be called "The White Hurricane." www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 261 - Bodysnatchers of the Homeopathic Hospital College

2/11/2024
In 1878, graverobbers stole the body of Edwin French from Willoughby Cemetery, but all they ended up doing was pulling a loose thread that unraveled a scheme to provide corpses to the Homeopathic Hospital College in Cleveland. The search for French's body uncovered three more loved ones - two Portage County women stored in pickling barrels and a child musical prodigy from Cleveland buried in a shallow grave. The school's entire faculty was hauled before judge and jury. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

When the War of 1812 began, the British quickly and easily seized control of Lake Erie - a prized possession since it was the northern border of Ohio, some of the coveted land being fought over. The Americans responded by setting up a shipyard in Erie, Pennsylvania, intending to build a Navy fleet from scratch and wrench control from the British.
