A neighborhood in New Castle, PA is plagued by nightly knocking and rapping, a young woman from Prince Edward Island, CA begins to experience powers of clairvoyance and telekinesis after a blasphemous insult toward her brother's soon-to-be fiancée, and in Vincennes, IN the police aren't the only unwanted visitors for a "house of ill repute"!

In our annual spooky-season episode, we take a look at three stories of mysterious and unexplained paranormal incidents from the past!

Corruption! Graft! Boodling! The continuing investigation into allegations of misappropriation of funds by Quebec's Mercier government, fears of famine continue to grow in Europe as Russian grain supplies dwindle, and a tourist lost $150 she tucked into a book!

Political scandal dominates this episode, as we head right back to the Canadian Maritimes in 1891, with the Monday, August 17, 1891 edition of The Halifax Morning Herald!

France and Prussia are on the brink of war! Southern plantations are importing Chinese laborers to work in their cotton and sugar fields! A German woman thinks her husband is cheating on her with that hussy Katrina von Trump!

This dramatic episode of Past & Printed (and our first from the 1870s) takes us to the ardently abolitionist, fervently religious, and surprisingly interesting town of Warren, Ohio and their newspaper, the Western Reserve Chronicle.

This was actually a more interesting read than I originally expected, and took me (and by extension you, dear listener) down a couple or three rabbit holes!
