Haunted American History

In the finale of IT: Welcome to Derry, the guys dig into how unexpectedly emotional the ending turned out to be, from the weight of the opening scene to the full scope of Pennywise’s plan. They break down the build-up to the final showdown, the adults’ search for the ceremonial dagger, and how the series gradually shifted from pure horror into something more action-driven without losing its edge.The conversation also explores Pennywise as a character, including connections to The Dark Tower, and how the rising stakes and character arcs gave the finale real impact. As the dust settles on the final confrontation, the guys talk about what the ending sets up, where the story could go next, and why the show ultimately left a lasting impression.Looking back at the series as a whole, they reflect on how it grew beyond nostalgia, deepened emotionally, and found its footing, especially in the final episodes. What started as a familiar Stephen King adaptation became something richer and more confident, leaving them genuinely excited for future seasons and possible spin-offs. Catch Jon Saks and Frank Bonacci here!SadisticDraft ClassChannel F  LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHwww.hauntedamericanhistory.comBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

The Sterling Opera House in Derby, Connecticut, is one of New England’s most haunted and historically complex buildings. Opened in 1889 as a grand cultural landmark, it hosted performers like Harry Houdini, John Philip Sousa, and Amelia Earhart. Also, it hid a whole police station and jail directly beneath the stage. While audiences applauded upstairs, criminals sat locked in the cells below.In this episode, we explore the opera house’s dramatic past, its ties to the Titanic, its rumored Houdini escape stunt, and the decades it sat abandoned. Then we dive into the paranormal activity that has made the Sterling a hotspot for investigators: voices in the basement, unexplained scratches, the balcony spirit known as “Andy,” and sightings of the White Lady.A deep look at Connecticut history, true crime, and one of the state’s most active haunted locations. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

Dudleytown is internet royalty in the world of haunted places. Search the name and you’ll find the “Village of the Damned,” a cursed valley where birds refuse to sing, colonists went mad in droves, and a Tudor-era beheading supposedly poisoned an entire bloodline. The Warrens called it demonically possessed. Ghost hunters sneak past the “Dark Entry” signs at night hoping to feel the silence press in on their ears.But the real story is stranger.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

In the winter of 1939, something started screaming in the woods of South Glastonbury. Goats were ripped apart in their pens, dogs vanished from frozen yards, and hunters swore they’d glimpsed a black, low-slung creature that moved like liquid through the hurricane-torn timber. It wasn’t a dog. It wasn’t a cat. It was something in between, and the Hartford Courant gave it a name that stuck: the Glawackus.But the real story is stranger. And a lot more human.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

The people of East Haddam have lived with a problem most towns never have to think about: the ground itself screams. For centuries, residents around Mount Tom and Moodus have reported sudden, deafening booms that shake houses, topple stone walls, and roll across the Connecticut River Valley like artillery fire from an invisible war. The Wangunk called it Machimoodus - “the place of bad noises.” The Puritans blamed God. Later generations blamed witches, alchemists, and even buried gems glowing in the dark.But the real story is stranger. And much louder.In this episode, we trace the history of the Moodus Noises, from Hobomock and the Wangunk origin story, to Reverend Hosmer’s terrified letters, the legendary “surgery” of Dr. Steele and his Great Carbuncle, the summer resorts that turned the booms into a tourist attraction, Lovecraft’s Dunwich connection, the nuclear plant built alarmingly close by, and the modern seismologists who tried to pin it all on shallow, stressed bedrock… only to have the noises keep coming anyway.A tale of geology, religion, folklore, cosmic horror, and what happens when the loudest voice in town belongs to the earth itself.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!
