S10 E32 - F-Bomb - The Curse of the Beeson Mansion: Grief, Legend & the Victorian Crypt

In the mid-1800s, tragedy struck the Beeson family of Niles, Michigan. After the death of infant grandson Job Withrow Beeson, grief and rumor began to surround the Beeson Mansion and its private mausoleum. Was it truly cursed — or was it simply a family shaped by Victorian mourning and loss? In this episode of F-Bomb, we explore the documented history of Strother Beeson, the family crypt, and the folklore that grew from sorrow. This is a tale of grief, legend, and the thin line between tragedy and haunting. #FBombPodcast #MichiganFolklore #BeesonMansion #VictorianEra #HauntedHistory #MidwestLegends #NilesMichigan Hosted and Produced by Tracy Preston.
