This week's episode is about Gilbert Campbell and the entity that terrorised his family from 1654 - 1656. It would seem the devil loves himself a wee vacation in the Scottish countryside.

Louisville as a Country Music City

In Meade County, Kentucky sits a unique piece of mahogany veneered furniture. A treat for the eye, but dive deeper into it's origins and you might be surprised to hear of it's dark history and involvement in over ten deaths. Is this chest cursed, or is this just a case of wrong place, wrong time.

Cursed Objects: The Conjured Chest

Two hundred years ago this week, the Marquis de Lafayette visited Frankfort, Kentucky, as just one of many stops on his “victory” tour of the United States after the Revolutionary War. 

The Marquis, featured in the musical Hamilton as “America’s favorite fighting Frenchman,” was a key figure and ally to the burgeoning United States during the Revolutionary War. Kentucky spared no expense celebrating the “hero of two worlds” at a dinner at the Old State Capital for over 2,000 dollars. That would be almost 65,000 dollars today! 

The dinner hosted important figures from inside and outside of the state, with patriotic speeches delivered throughout.
