Belleview Avenue was the Millionaire's Row of Newport. The avenue was lined with Gilded Age summer cottages built by wealthy industrialists. Those "cottages" were actually palatial estates and many of them still stand today and are run as museums or are privately owned. Several of them are haunted. These include Belcourt Castle, Seaview Terrace, The Breakers and Rough Point. Join us as we explore the history and haunts of these summer cottages to the rich and famous in Newport, Rhode Island! This Month in History features the first deep level electric tube.

TGIY Ep. 21 - Raising the Dead
Modern medicine has made it possible to raise the dead. As long as the person who has died, did so very recently. So far, no one that has been dead for days has been raised from the dead. There have been attempts through history to accomplish this feat though. Man has tried to use electricity to bring dead nerves back to life. Authors like Mary Shelley have written classic tomes about man's pursuit of this endeavor and ultimate success. But that was fiction. As they say, with God, all things are possible and one of those things is the raising of the dead. There are stories throughout the Bible of people being raised from the dead, even after they have been dead for several days. For humanity, the ultimate story of resurrection represents the foundation of salvation. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

BONUS: #10 Downing Street
We are taking this week off to recover from Halloween, so we have a BonusCast to share instead, featuring #10 Downing Street. It is the most famous address in British politics. This is the home of the British Prime Minister. The building is 300 years old and was not a place where many early Prime Ministers wanted to live. It wasn't fancy and for many years it was downright dangerous due to its shoddy construction. Today, it is much better and has been the backdrop to many famous historic events. It also is home to several  spirits!

HGB Halloween Special 2025 - Halloween Music
We always try to pick a fun theme for our Halloween Special and this year we thought we would feature Halloween Music. Not just the music one might hear in a horror movie - and we will definitely talk about some of that - but music made specifically for Halloween. There is a whole history to what some may call "Monster Music" that goes from fun novelty songs to Goth Punk and even the disturbing. Join us for this candy corn filled, costume wearing romp through one-eyed purple people eaters, monsters mashing, ghostbusters busting and nightmares before Christmas.
