Ep. 21 Chillingham Castle and Great Molasses Flood

This week Sandra talks about Chillingham Castle which dates back to the 12th century. Located in Northumberland England, Chillingham Castle is known as the most haunted castle in the UK. The castle has a history of bloody battles. Three in five people who visit the castle report seeing ghosts. From the ghost of a blue boy to being the inspiration for books and has been investigated by Ghost Hunters International.
Then, Danielle covers the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. Also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. A large storage tank filled with molasses burst and caused a tidal wave in the city's prominent and bustling area. Children, women, men, and horses were caught in the sticky mess. The event entered local folklore and residents claimed for decades afterward that the area still smelled of molasses on hot summer days.
