Going Full Esther

Welcome to Doveland, weirdos!

 

TW: foul language, psychic phenomenon, government conspiracy, natural disasters, poltergeist violence

 

It's time for another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD!  The podcast for all things strange and unusual, suspicious and soulful, unsolved and unbelievable and everything in between!  Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week we've got two very echoey segments for you.

 

Lauren starts us off with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY that we realized after we cut should probably have been a REAL OR HOAX but hey... the summer is hectic ok?  Lauren is teaching us about DOVELAND, WISCONSIN.  A town that... disappeared?  Never existed at all?  Was swallowed by the earth?  Was actually a secret government experiment that they're desperately trying to cover all trace of?  You tell us.

 

Then Ashley introduces the story of Canada's most famous poltergeist- a case known as THE GREAT AMHERST MYSTERY!  This story takes place between the years 1878 and 1880 where an 18 year old girl named Esther Cox and her family were tormented by an invisible force in their small cabin relentlessly for over a year.  Objects moving on their own, loud booming knocks that shook the walls, objects going missing and then falling from the center of the ceiling, mysterious fires, a pesky corporeal trumpet, and even a few stabbings?!  This case has HUNDREDS of witnesses and even converted a hardcore skeptic who lived with the family with the sole objective of proving them to be hoaxsters.
