In this emotionally layered and supernaturally charged episode, we follow two threads of human experienceâone tragic, one miraculousâboth connected by the iron rails of Americaâs 19th-century railroads.
First, youâll meet Cynthia Boardman, a woman whose string of nine deceased husbands earned her the whispered nickname The Black Widow of Ohio. Was it tragic coincidence, a morbid curse, or something darker? Her story, drawn from newspaper clippings of the time, will make you question fate, resilience, and reputation.
Then, in a haunting tale worthy of the twilight hours, we shift to Engineer Boardman of Garrett, Indiana, whoâdelirious and dyingâsomehow tracks the exact real-time movements of his beloved Engine 712 hundreds of miles away. His final breath becomes a prophetic warning that halts a speeding train seconds before it wouldâve collided with a wrecked rail line, saving an opera company and nearly 100 passengers. He died a hero⊠without ever leaving his bed.
This episode is not just about ghosts or grief. Itâs about connectionâto place, to family, to destiny. Youâll also learn the heartbreaking truth behind Edward Augustus Boardman and Catherine Fitzsimmonsâ lost childrenâ10 births, with only one child surviving past age 7.
Family history is more than names on a tree. Itâs the soul-deep stories that change usâstories of love, loss, legacy, and the invisible ties that bind generations.Â
