Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. What lurks in the shadows of Ohio’s backroads, forgotten cemeteries, and hidden corners of history? Join us as we uncover the Buckeye State’s most chilling legends, mysterious sightings, and enduring folklore. Marblehead Lighthouse: The Guardian of Lake Erie Perched on the rocky shores of Lake Erie, the Marblehead Lighthouse has stood watch over Ohio’s dangerous western basin for nearly two centuries. In this episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads, we travel to the Marblehead Peninsula to explore the history, legends, shipwrecks, keepers, and stories surrounding one of Ohio’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1822, Marblehead Lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. For generations, its beacon has guided ships safely around the rocky Marblehead Peninsula and toward the harbors of Lake Erie. But behind that familiar tower is a fascinating history filled with storms, treacherous waters, lighthouse keepers, and the ever-present danger of the lake. We’ll look at why the lighthouse was built, what life was like for the keepers and their families, and how the technology of the light changed over the years. We’ll also explore some of the dramatic storms and maritime disasters that occurred in the waters surrounding Marblehead—and the stories of the men and women who kept the light burning when Lake Erie turned violent. From the lonely life of a lighthouse keeper to the ships battling darkness, fog, ice, and massive waves, the Marblehead Lighthouse is more than a beautiful landmark. It is a reminder of the dangerous relationship between Ohio and the Great Lakes. So join Dan and Stephen as we head down the backroads to Marblehead, Ohio, and uncover the history and mysteries behind the Marblehead Lighthouse—the guardian of Lake Erie. Blending local history, eyewitness accounts, folklore, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this podcast explores the legends that refuse to die.

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we talk with author Kelly Boyer Sagert about her award winning book entitled: "Wells Waite Miller and Me. An 8th OVI Civil War biography". Her fantastic book chronicles the life of the Civil War veteran Wells Waite Miller and his heroic efforts to help the Union win the war. On July 3, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, twenty-one-year-old Captain Wells Waite Miller of the 8th Ohio Voluntary Infantry fought in the bloody heat of Pickett’s Charge as dying men fell all around him. Ultimately, though, his “bruised and undersized regiment” played a crucial role in the Union victory. Chosen to lead an outpost about one hundred yards away from the main Union line, against seemingly insurmountable odds, Miller and 150 courageous men faced down six thousand desperate Rebels. Fighting valiantly, they “broke an entire . . . brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia.” Miller nearly died from his wounds, and this book reconstructs and celebrates the life of this forgotten Civil War hero—and the incredible synchronicities that exist between his life story and that of the author. The book also contains dozens of photos, most never published before, along with information directly from numerous descendants of Miller. Miller lived a captivating life before, during, and after the Civil War: a student in Oberlin during a tumultuous time in history; courageous soldier; briefly, a teacher; a highly respected agriculturist; revered member of his community; dedicated, trusted politician; and a son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. You can order the book at local North Eastern Bookstores, (soon to be on) Amazon or direct from her website:https://kbsagert.com/ Kelly is a lot of fun and has several upcoming appearances to hear her speak about the book.

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. Before the bombings, power struggles, and notorious crime bosses that would make Cleveland infamous, there was a small but determined network of Italian immigrants building a criminal empire in the shadows. In this episode, we explore the origins of the Cleveland Mafia, tracing its roots from the late 19th and early 20th centuries as immigrant communities established themselves in Northeast Ohio. Discover how early organized crime figures Joe Leonard and Joe Morello leveraged gambling, bootlegging, extortion, and political connections to create the foundation of what would become one of America's most influential Mafia families. We'll uncover the key personalities, pivotal events, and social conditions that allowed the Cleveland crime syndicate to emerge and grow. From the challenges faced by immigrant neighborhoods to the rise of Prohibition-era opportunities, this episode reveals how the Cleveland underworld evolved from a loose collection of street gangs into a structured criminal organization that would shape the city's history for decades. Join us as we examine the origins of the Cleveland Mafia and the beginnings of a story that would leave a lasting mark on both organized crime and Cleveland itself. Tune in and found out!

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. Did you ever look up in the sky and see something weird, something you can't explain? In this episode we have 3 stories about unexplained things in the night sky. Our first story explores the efforts of a group of St. Joe High School students from Cleveland, Ohio who figured out a way to listen to and track the Soviet satellite, Sputnik, even before our own military. They then created a device from a slide rule and a globe to assist in their efforts. Their efforts landed the boys on TV stations, newspapers, magazines then a visit by the FBI who promptly confiscated all their recorded tapes. Tune in and find out what happened next! Our next story we look at astronomer Jerry Ehman in 1977 using the Ohio State University Big Ear radio telescope. His volunteer job was to simply examine marks on an endless scroll of paper searching for anomalies, outlying marks indicating signals from out space. These signals may show something or someone trying to make contact us here on earth. On this particular day, in review of the data, the signal was so strong he made a notation "WOW" indicating the unusual signal that he had never seen before. This weird and strong signal was so strange, it caused arguments and discussion that continue to this day. Find out what happened and what people think the signal may or may not be. Our final story is about a mystery. A mystery that may or not exist at all. Its yjr infamous Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Some people think that the aliens that were rumored to have been recovered from a UFO crash at the infamous Roswell, NM crash. Were these alien bodies taken there? Who's allowed there? What really goes on there? Tune in and found out!
