Pennsylvania's historical record does not include merely the likes of William Penn and the Founding Fathers. It is also home to folk tales and lore, of ghosts, strange disappearances, dreadful crimes and things that just cannot be explained. Marlin Bressi has chronicled many of these in "Pennsylvania Oddities," Volumes 1, 2, and 3. Among the stories elaborated on with host Lawrence Knorr, The Lykens Triple Axe Murder of 1932, The Connellsville Explosion of 1911, The Clearfield UFO Sightings of 1950, and the mysterious John Wilkes Booth Doppelganger of Northumberland County.
Bressi also discusses another Sunbury Press work, "Hairy Men in Caves: True Stories of America's Most Colorful Hermits," a look at the lives of dozens of men (and some women) who opted out of life from the 18th through the 20th century.
Marlin Bressi is the creator of the Pennsylvania Oddities blog, plus the paranormal website Journal of the Bizarre. His short stories have appeared in publications such as The Gallery of Curiosities, Weird Darkness and The Storyhouse Weekly Reader.
