Bridge and Tunnel Pests

Send us Fan MailTW: Tori was in her cups and demands snacks from the Aussies several times this episode.The boys are back with us for this episode. I quickly told on myself on why calling the Bobby Barton Chronicles BBC may be the wrong abbreviation for it. Although it would trendy quickly as a hashtag. Leading off with a story from Melissa in Mississppi (Melissa in actually in my hometown now) about Stucky’s Bridge. Crime gangs, a serial killer innkeeper, and a river named Chunky, this story has it all. Caught in a murder spree to rob his patrons, Stucky was strung up on the bridge in question. He still shows up in ghost form that haunts the area to this day. Krys comes up with another story given to us by Harley about the St James Station tunnel which is under the current train routes. Thee tunnels were given many new uses including mushroom farm, air raid shelter, and currently an underground tunnel with is home to albino eels. This has also served as the backdrop to numerous tv shows and movies. Wait, did we mention the monster? Chuck volunteers his opinion on the monster and of course Tori jumps to aliens. More abandon tunnels and an excavated cemeteries=ghosts. Maybe even a Storm Trooper shoot out as well(only one bullet hole for a gunfight=Storm Troopers.) Plenty of ghosts hanging out in those tunnels as well. Tori brings on home to Indiana for the Pest House in Knightstown. Cue a smallpox epidemic and the National Guard getting involved. The Thornhill house was built for Charles Morgan and his wife Alvira. Due to Alvira’s declining health the pair moved further into town. Thornhill stood empty until the Board of Health bought to move the smallpox patients to keep them away from the healthy citizens. This gave Thornhill the moniker the Pest House. This is still a legendary haunted spot to scare your friends at to this day.                                                                   Our theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support the show
