In June of 2025, we traveled to Jamestown, Virginia, to spend time exploring the Jamestown Rediscovery Museum and the surrounding historic grounds.

One of the most eerie urban legends from Ohio is the tale of the Gore Orphanage. It entails some of the most fascinating details about how some historical elements from different time periods and locations have melted into one urban legend that has lasted for well over 100 years. In this episode of our podcast, we explore some of the confusion surrounding that legend.

On the night of March 16, 2013, the small town of Wilmington, Ohio, was alive with the green glow of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
