In episode three of the Bell's Books and Blog Podcast, host Jane M. Bell explored peculiar historical tales from U.S. history. She examined the legend of a ghostly figure encountered by Thomas Jefferson in the unfinished Capitol building, the mystery of Ulysses S. Grant's inauguration blackout, and the scandal surrounding a forged invitation during Rutherford B. Hayes's swearing-in ceremony. Each story delved into the unique trials and tribulations faced by these presidents, and the mysteries which still elude historians today. Jane also introduced the thrilling psychological thriller series 'Yesteryear's Echo' and the free historical psychological thriller 'Yesteryear's Ruin'. She then shared reading recommendations for young readers and adults, including 'Mystery at Sea Edge: A Monterey Adventure', 'The Haunted Lighthouse', 'Artificial Stars', and 'Rain Shadow'. She wrapped up the episode by reminding listeners about an ongoing book promotion and encouraging them to stay curious about history's hidden mysteries.
