023: Sins of the Father

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Heriot House in Georgetown, South Carolina was built in 1765. It is now the Harbor House Inn and there are many stories by visitors and Georgetown residents alike of seeing an image of a woman that looks like she doesn't belong there. Is this woman the ghost of a forlorn lover or does she represent something more sinister?</span></p> <p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Something that ties in with the four circles of Dante's Inferno and stretches all the way from the old Heriot House to a Greenwich Village neighborhood located on Jane Street. A story that crosses the founding of America and the early days of New York, featuring such notable founders as Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and even George Washington.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Episode Highlights:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dante Alighieri's Inferno The Divine Comedy</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are ghosts fragments of energy left behind</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lantern in the window of The Heriot House</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jane Street hauntings and ghost sightings</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ghost of Alexander Hamilton</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The home of Eliza Jumel</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The story of Gulielma Sands and the Well of Malebolgia</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Ambition of Aaron Burr</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Tragic life and death of Theodosia Burr Alston</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources:</span></p> <p><a href= "http://www.worldofdante.org/index.html"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Divine Comedy</span></em></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enjoyed this episode?
