Above is an image of the Yersinia pestis bacterium. This little bacterium, which coincidentally looks like a green cheese puff is what causes Bubonic Plague. Also known as the “Black Death” the plague killed an estimated 25 million million people in Europe, Asia & the Middle East in the 14th Century. It was commonly believe that TODAY in 1345 was the beginning of the catastrophic plague. Allegedly, according to 14th Century scholars this was due to a “triple conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter & Mars in the 40th degree of Aquarius.” We now know the actual cause for the disease is the bacteria mentioned above being carried by fleas, traveling on rats and then jumping off onto other mammals. So, in a round about way - today is plague day!

Curse of the S.S. Great Eastern

I was watching an episode of Haunted History today on television and the information about the hauntings of this boat grabbed me so good I had to write a post about it. Because I am weird and enjoy these things.

The Great Eastern was a colossal steam ship built by Isambard Brunel in the 1830s. The 680 foot vessel was at it’s time six times larger than any ship ever built and boasted engineering innovations like a double iron hull attached to a girder frame & seperated by the large paddle wheels seen in the picture above and for having the first transatlantic telegraoh cable aboard. This gigantic boat employed the work of over 1,000 laborers, seperated into 200 “rivet gangs” to hand drive the rivets into the ships walls. Young men, known as “Bash Boys” were also hired to squeeze into the narrow space between the ship’s two hulls 12 hours a day the would work by candle light enduring the pounding hammers of the rivet gangs. Many accidents occured during the construction of the ship. Many fell to their deaths and several of the bash boys never came out. The ship was launched in 1858 and it became apparent immediately the ship had been cursed from the beginning. The multiplying wench jarred, one worked died from massive internal injuries and four other men were injured as a result of the incident, which only propelled the ship a total of 3 feet. The ship then wedged it’s self to the seas floor and took another 3 months before it would attempt to sail again. FInally the boat was afloat, but the joy surrounding the occassion was short lived. An explosion in the engine room killed one man and scarred four others so badly they later died of their injuries.The builder Brunel died of a stroke shortly after recieving news of this latest incident. It then suffered damage during a storm at sea which killed 16 people and later had the hull torn open by a large rock which would have sunk it had it not been for the double hull! A sightseeing boast became entangled in it’s propeller and 2 more people were killed. Attempts were made to sell the steamer, but no one was buying. Workers aboard the boat began to complain of ghostly hammering noises coming from below the decks. It would wake them from their sleep and was loud enough to be heard over storms. The eeriness frightened them & they believed it was the sould of one of the bash boys lost between the two hulls. When their fears were increased by a medium travelling aboard the ship it’s captain & crew organized a thorough inspection, where they heard the ghostly hammering for themselves. The hauntings continued through the ship being used as a cable laying vessel for many years. She was again tried many years later to be turned into a commercial ship again but it was ultimately a failure. She was scrapped and taken apart in 1889. During the scraping of the hull it is a pretty widely accepted fact that a young man’s skeleton was found in the space between the two hulls. The hauntings had been real.

Jenny Lee & Elvira Snow Freaks has earned its place in history as one of the all-time great cult films, though it wasn’t always beloved. The film was reviled by both critics and audiences upon release in 1932. It was a career-killer for Tod Browning, who had previously been a Hollywood golden child with a string of Lon Chaney hits under his belt and who had just come off the enormous success of Dracula. The film shocked audiences with its use of actual sideshow “freaks” as actors.

One of my favorite movies of all time, featuring some of the most celebrating “Freakshow/Sideshow” performers of all time.

Shots taken by my fiancee of myself exploring one of the wards of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum/Weston State Hospital. You can see our guide MacKayla is dressed as a nurse, she was a great tour guide & we learned a lot about the building. Can’t wait to go back and explore more of the spaces in this building. Interesting fact: The rooms in the ward are painted different pastel colors. Many of the patients were unable to read and did not know their room numbers. The colors were a clever way of helping the patients know whether they were in the right room or not! Make plans to visit the Asylum & learn more about it’s history yourself HERE Wikipedia page for additional reading HERE

Some pretty rad panoramic photos my fiancee took at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum/Weston State Hospital. Which he was gracious enough to let me rive 3 hours out of the way of where we were to visit! We arrived about an hour out from closing time so unfortunately, were only able to take the 1st Floor Historical tour. Hope to go back and get more photos and see more of this epic & impressive building!
