Ghost of Historic Main Street St. Charles (Lost Cemetery)
In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa brings another spooky episode to you for the spooky episodes October. On Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri; there are whispers of many ghosts. One in particular is very chilling--it is the story of the Lady in White. Now this Lady in White is said to be a spirit that appears around sunset. You will see her wearing a white flowing dress that appears to be a wedding gown. She also appears to many to be smiling but with a very sad look in her eyes as she looks up Main Street. Some say she is praying while others say she appears to be drinking a glass of wine.Now according to local research of a Michael Henry (book info below); there is a man living in St. Charles in 1822 named Hiram Berry. He writes a letter home to his family describing a woman aged 23 that dies after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy. She catches a fever and believes her new babies love will keep her but she turns delirious, calls a priest, and dies the next day. She is very poor and her only nice dress is her wedding gown which she is buried in--she is also buried in a Potter's field grave--so unmarked...no name is given to this lady or the beautiful baby.What I will be discussing is the history of the Historic St. Charles--the fact that the first cemetery where this lady was buried was moved --twice! I will discuss bodies found, graves not moved and more.Listen to the entire episode and share your thoughts.References and Sources For Episode:"Ghost of St. Charles"-- Michael Henry--Published by Haunted America /Division of History Press Copyright 2010https://hauntbound.com/locations/mo/st-charles-borromeo-lost-cemetery/https://www.hauntedplaces.org/item/lost-graveyard/https://www.midriversnewsmagazine.com/news/exploring-st-charles-most-haunted/article_5eb0dbbe-eeda-47fe-b7e3-5e3166b042a7.htmlhttps://beyondhaunted.com/missouri/the-ghosts-of-st-charleshttps://www.discoverstcharles.com/blog/post/ghost-tours-in-st-charles/https://preservationjournal.org/pages/earlyhistory.htmlhttps://scchs.org/about-us/history-of-our-county/https://www.hauntedplaces.org/item/lost-graveyard/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Charles,_Missouri'Preservationists Target Church'--St. Louis Post-Dispatch--Thu Dec. 29, 1988.'History Lesson'--St. Louis Post-Dispatch --Tues.

The Ghost of the Arkansas School for the Deaf and Blind
In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa brings to you her personal experience of the Ghost Tour provided by the AR School for the Deaf & Blind--tour guide is Robert Fagan--he's an alumni, past employee and currently a Trustee of the school--his information is below. Along with Robert was the school's superintendent Nicole Walsh--first woman in 100 years--she was such a pleasure to meet.Imagine spirits roaming the halls of the Helen Keller Memorial Building located on the ASDB campus--spirits producing everything from visuals of staring out windows, the smell of cigarette smoke, sounds of friendly whistling and a unique laugh of a long time cook that has not been alive for a bit. These staff members, administrators, and faculty leave a lingering presense in a place they loved.Now on the flip side there are some entities producing uneasy feelings for alumni when they visit. A resident parent who was anything but nice or an evil entity in the Schult Building that could be linked to a terrible murder of a beautiful and sweet student named Kelley Michelle Rowland.In this episode, you will hear some very tragic true stories of students and faculty--I have also embedded some audio from the Ghost Tour related to the information.Please connect with the School and Robert to book your own experience. All the proceeds of the tour goes to the students at the school--if they need clothes, shoes, or anything else--this money is spent on their needs.Link to book tour: https://givebutter.com/ardbghosttoursRobert Fagan's Information--Fagan Paranormal Investigations501-831-2600 email: robertfagan69@comcast.netBig Shoutout to Robert Fagan and Nicole Walsh --excellent tour guides.Listen to the entire episode and share your thoughts.References and Sources For Episode:https://www.nwahomepage.com/knwa/crypt-found-six-inches-under-the-arkansas-school-for-the-deaf-campus-more-discoveries-expected/https://www.fox16.com/news/local-news/now-arkansas-school-for-the-deaf-researching-burial-ground/https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/arkansas-confederate-home-2691/https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/arkansas-school-for-the-blind-asb-2442/https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/arkansas-school-for-the-deaf-asd-2444/'Man gets life for girl;s death'--AP--Times Record--Sat.

Unexplained Spooky Listener Stories Fall 2026
In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa brings you SPOOKY Unexplained Listerner Stories from all over to scare, excite, and frighten you....and perhaps peak your curiousities.The first story is from an anonymous listener who was in the Navy. The story comes from his experience near the Bermuda Triangle. This story is spine tingling for sure and mysterious.The next experience comes from my friend Jessica--she attended a wedding at the famously haunted Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. She stayed in "Michael's" Room 218. Listen and be ready to be shocked!Third story is from a listener named Harris. Harris worked security at the famous Army-Navy Hospital in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, between the time frames of 2020-2024. He shares several amazing and haunted stories from this very well-known paranormal hot spot. Sooo Wild!Another chilling tale comes from friend Alza--also, from Hot Springs, Arkansas. This experience was in 1981 or so--Alza was staying at The Majestic Hotel which stood -large and proud on bathhouse row from 1882-2016--when sadly it was raised due to a devestating fire. Alza's story is wildly chilling and one of my favorites.Lastly, I will discuss again Chris' ghost boy experience in Searcy, Arkansas around the time period of 1994. The boy was riding a bike striaght at Chris' truck late at night causing Chris to think he hit the boy--but it was worse when Chris realized the boy was merely a ghost. In this episode, I try to discover and discuss a boy named James Lyndell Bush--and if he is truly Chris' ghost boy??? You decide.Listen to the entire episode and share your thoughts.Shoutouts of Appreciation :To friends Jessica, Harris, and Alza--thank you very much for sharing your stories--and the anonymous friends as well!!!References for this Episode:https://www.nps.gov/places/army-and-navy-hospital.htmhttps://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/majestic-hotel-8351/The Daily Citizen Articles Published March 13, 1935-March 23, 1935.Episodes DID include other information via:https://www.newspapers.com/https://www.ancestry.com/Big Thanks go out to Gage Fears for his original music made for Unexplained Arkansas the Podcast usage--His contact below--find him on Instagram!!https://www.facebook.com/gfearsmedia?rdid=2J3DmRrwK1yzecQl&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F16Ws41EzTt%2F#https://www.instagram.com/i_deliver_pizza/To connect w/ Unexplained America:unexplainedamerica2@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586477442538https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8rIqbuh-TeAl_9dZNL3fUAhttps://www.instagram.com/unexplained_america/https://www.tiktok.com/@unexplainedamericaFind me on all Podcasts Platforms.Xoxoxoxo, Lisa

The Arkansas Dog Boy Legend
In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa strives to correct historical inaccuracies regarding the Arkansas Dog Boy Jarrell Bettis. The legend states that the Bettis Family allegedly purchased their beautiful Victorian home in Quitman, Arkansas, in the early 1950's. Floyd and Alline finally had their precious only child Jarrell (mistakenly listed as Gerald) in the 1950's and he turned out to be allegedly a vicious, attention seeking child that tortured animals and allegedly hurt his parents or worse as he and they got older.The legend goes on to state these torturous acts were the reason for the children of Quitman to fear the Bettis home (sometimes called the Garrett Home of Quitman)--kids feared the home because of the alleged evil spirit of the Dog Boy Gerald Bettis.In 2005, time zone an owner of the Garrett/Bettis home opened the home up to many paranormal investigators. This homeowner, Weaver, claimed to know his home was haunted by the Dog Boy and his heinous acts he conducted in the home.In the episode, there is an interview with acclaimed Arkansas Paranormal Investigator Larry Flaxman (info below)--he describes his investigation for Weaver 20 years ago.I will layout all the misconceptions and provide my research on the TRUE history of the home and Jarrell Bettis.Listen to the entire episode and share the facts.Big Shoutout to Larry Flaxman--Paranormal Investigator:https://larryflaxman.com/https://www.facebook.com/AuthorLarryFlaxman/https://www.instagram.com/AuthorLarryFlaxmanhttps://www.youtube.com/c/LarryFlaxmanAdditional Shoutouts of Appreciation :Cleburne County Courthouse Land Deed Dept.

Titantic: Tragedy Into A Curse? (Part 3)
In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa discusses the R.M.S. Titantic. This is Part 3 of a 3 Part episode.In Part 3, we begin in the year 1986 after Dr. Robert Ballard discovered the wreck site of the Titantic and actually dove to the wreck site. We discuss how Dr. Ballard did not take any artifacts from the wreckage; he considered the site a graveyard and respected the site too much to take an object.However, once the Titantic was found immediately thereafter in 1987; a group of investors dove to the Titantic and confiscated around 1800 objects. Selling the items and opening exhibitions.We will explore all the many explorations of the site from 1987 through to 1995 when James Cameron makes a series of dives to collect film for his epic movie "Titantic" that would come out in 1997; which will earn 11 Academy Awards, billions in revenue, and introduce a whole new age (myself included) of young people to the tragedy.Likewise, we will discuss all the many more dives to the Titantic and the disastrous Oceangate dive of the Titan in June 2023.After this horrific tragedy, we discuss all the many legends of curses from way back to 1912 on to today and the paranormal experiences of all the exhibits that hold Titantic artifacts.Ending with the question of "Would you purchase a Titantic artifact for your personal self?"References for this Episode:https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/series/titanic-reference-library/https://britishtitanicsociety.com/links-research-resources/https://titanicarchive.org/https://guides.loc.gov/titanic/library-resourceshttps://titanicinquiry.org/https://worldhistoryedu.com/was-the-titanic-actually-cursed/https://www.history.com/videos/expedition-titanichttps://rmstitanicinc.com/titanic-expeditions/https://captainstableblog.com/haunting-reminders-of-the-night-titanic-artifacts-and-the-paranormal/https://titanicsurvivors.com/victims/titanic-bodies-recovered/https://www.britannica.com/event/Titan-submersible-implosion"Titantic-Treasure of the Deep"--Antonio Montanez channel--https://youtu.be/fpcjDsFEQ6M?si=BDiuxErQm4j3wOje"Robert Ballard returns for first time since discovering Titantic"-The Bay City Times-Mon.

About Unexplained America The Podcast
Unexplained America is a weekly podcast, hosted by Lisa Ponson. I discuss true crime, paranormal, cryptid, legend, and anything unexplained connected with America. Join me for episodes rich in researching the history, background and nuance of the story perhaps a bit quirky. If possible, I love to explore the places myself and discuss the story from a personal perspective. The more creepy and unexplained the better!!!
