    Bag of Bones

    If you love history, but want to follow the un-beaten path, then this podcast is for you. My name is Elizabeth Bourgeret and I love to learn about the untold stories of American history. The ones that don't make it to the history books. The darker side. The strange. The peculiar. The deadly. Peek behind the curtain of America's yesterdays and listen to the collection of tales found in my Bag of Bones. #bagofbonespodcast #elizabethbourgeret Contact me: http://www.elizabethbourgeret.com/contact More Episodes: http://www.ragtagnetwork.com Follow us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/bagofbonespodcast

    S3: Episode 18: Clyde Thompson- The Meanest Man in Texas

    “Man is the crowning glory of God’s creation. God made man in His own likeness and in His own image, and that’s why it is a sin to kill a man. It’s not a sin to kill an animal. If you just go out and shoot a dog, that is not a sin; but if you kill a man, that’s a sin. Why? Because man is made in the likeness and image of God.” - Clyde Thompson, the Meanest Man in Texas

    S3: Episode 17: The Alamo Cult

    “The interesting thing about this place is that the young people, the young hippies that came in… they were having supernatural experiences with God. Real live ones. They were marked by their experiences after giving their lives to Jesus . Something really WAS happening to them.”

    “In spite of whatever Tony and Suzie wanted and how they were going to manipulate it they, these kids, were really meeting God. And so it was hard to convince them that what was going on, was a cult.”

    Rebecca (Bill’s staunch believer’s daughter)

    S3: Episode 8: The Wounded Knee Massacre

    “Looking back at it now, I can see that the times were pregnant of great things. The white man was not standing still. Nothing could deter him from going forward, and if, in the march of civilization, a people was blotted out, it would not be the first time that the same march had proved remorseless.”- James McLaughlin, 1910

    S3: Episode 6: The Bob Crane Story

    Requested by @villagedave

    “Everybody has a history to his or her life. Let’s not paint Bob’s life by- what shall we say- the moments in his life. I say these things that are the flaws… are like specks on the Parthenon. Let’s look at the Parthenon and let’s not look at the specks. Let’s lift our eyes up to the man’s eyes and should and life, and not look down on the gutter.” -Joe Cosgrove, California radio station owner and announcer and friend to Bob Crane.

When they found the Matter beyond the Reach of Mortals, they stopt.”

    S3: Episode 4: Are You a Witch? Pt1

    Requested by JoAnn Bergman

    From our German fairytales that Disney tamed, from classic Greek and Roman literature… from the stories of wicked women who turn herbs and flowers into potions and spells, we get the witches we recognize today. But when fiction is believed as truth, it creates a whole new monster.
