Trendy Lobotomy Podcast
Old friends discuss local legends starting with the ones they know from their home state. Legendary people, places, and random facts about Indiana abound here. While we started in Indiana, the world is full of legends and we want to explore them. Laughter, history, and spooky facts included. We like getting down to the bottom of these legends and giving both the facts as well as the lore. If history and interesting stories, sometimes with a spooky bent, are up your alley, so are we! We like telling each other stories and hope you will like them too! Oh, one more thing, you want ghosts? That's how you get ghosts...

West Virginian Lobotomies and Why Hoosiers Are Werid
Send us a text Tori starts off with a paranormal hotspot, the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. This is supposedly the most haunted place in the US. Unfortunately like a good majority of psychiatric hospitals, the institution was plagued with tragedies and abuse allegations. The amount of hauntings due to this history is astounding. Krysti tells us about why Hoosiers are weird and some odd goings on to settle a county seat. Leavenworth Indiana was the county seat and was moved by force into Englis...

Deep in the Heart of Deadwood?
Send us a text Back after a bit of a break Krys leads off strong with tales of McKinney Texas and some of it’s haunted hot spots.

Disappearing and Peeping Ghosts
Send us a text Tori heads back to Cleveland again for LakeView Cemetery on 12316 Euclid Ave. This privately owned cemetery was founded in 1869 and has several famous residents. Some of the folks interred here are James A. Garfield, John D Rockafeller, and the untouchable himself Eliot Ness. This is also the home to the Hauserot Angel statue.

Sauerkraut and Castles
Send us a text Krysti starts off with another Central State Hospital but this one is in Kentucky. This is a current psychiatric hospital still in operation in Anchorage Kentucky.

Parkitecture and Bon Bons
Send us a text Tori leads off this week’s episode with the Ahwahnee Hotel. Taking it back to Yosemite State Park with the iconic Ahwahnee Hotel, this locale is a prime example of the NPS Rustic Parkitecture style.Due to the protected nature of the park, all building materials needed to be brought in to make it possible. Through all incarnations of this hotel, the park has always been the star of the show. And per usual with hotels of this age (opened in 1927) some guests never check out. The red...

Rockin' and Rollin'
Send us a text Welcome back to the shit show! Krys covers the story of Muscatatuck Developmental Center. While this is not a fun story, it is a story that needs to be told. This was originally called the Indiana Farm Colony for the Feeble Minded Youth (their words, not ours) and proceeded to practice eugenics on this “class” of people. Way to go Indiana… This was the home for folks with lower IQs and did give them jobs as well. Cue a good staff and better ways to help folks, and part of the popu...

Send us a text Krys starts off this episode with Glensheen Mansion in which the crimes totally resemble Clue. This property seems to be a murder magnet.

Prisons and BS

Death Trolleys and Dry Good Merchants
Send us a text Krysti starts us off with the Culbertson Mansion in New Albany Indiana. This mansion was built by William Culbertson in 1867. By 1870 William was the second most wealthy man in Indiana. He lived in the house with several of his wives and at least three of his children were raised there. The amount of spooky stuff at this locale is substantial, doors opening and closing, lights on and off, menacing feelings, and of course EVPs. Tori brings up the rear with what you may ask? Cemeter...

Megasode 2.5
Send us a text Strap in folks, we did another megasode. Although without the boys it could only be .5 designation. Krys leads off with the Witch’s Castle AKA Mistletoe Falls in Utica, IN. This location has a long history of being haunted and plenty of stories as to why it’s haunted.

Hotels and Hospitals
Send us a text Tori leads off with the tale of the Overlook Hotel, well actually the two hotels that were both the basis for the hotel made famous by Stephen King. The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO was where Stephen King stayed at and had nightmares in. This hotel has so much history under one roof that picking out all the stories was tough. The Stanley has several tours and most of them tell at least one ghost story if not more. The Timberline Hotel in Mt. Hood, OR was the hotel that was used...

LARPing Gone Horribly Wrong and The Flowers are Still Standing
Send us a text TRIGGER WARNING:The story this week involves sexual abuse, blood drinking, and animal abuse. None if these are explicitly described but listener discretion advised.. Krys leads off with the Murray Kentucky Vampire Clan, which Tori immediately freaks out because she remembers the story. Rod Ferrell was raised in a very messed up environment but his mother played into that immensely. In the 90s vampires were all the rage and some folks took it too far. While we are not ones to yuck ...

And of course...

Beans and Battlefields
Send us a text Krysti opens up this episode with the Green Children of Woolpit and their arrival in Suffolk. Apparently green children that show up out of nowhere should be offered fava beans for food. Fae? Children from another country? And this one is the best, not saying it was aliens, but it was the aliens! (Best part of this it was from Krysti’s corner this time.) The opinions/various origin stories for this are varied and weird. Tori went after another piece off US history, Shiloh. The sit...

The Crossroads Where Cemeteries and Baseball Players Meet

In this cemetery we have the basic chick of ghosts, the white lady who has a penchant for throwing herself in front cars. We also have another guy that died by burning alive. Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore, MD. This cemetery is the final resting place of Edgar Alan Poe. We have a story of a screaming skull that screams at the same time each night.

Send us a text TW: Suicide is dicussed in this episode, this episode may not be for everyone, listeners discretion advised.
