OHP Radio - The Bell Witch with Pat Fitzhugh

Folks today we head to the Spooky Side of History. We go in search of the Southern myth and legend of the “Bell Witch” with Author and Historian Pat Fitzhugh. This is one of the most documented haunts in American History, and for good reason. It will not only send some chills down your spine but is also a fantastic story. We invite you to read more about Pat Fitzhugh on our Authors Corner or go over and explore his site and learn more about this haunting on his site www.bellwitch.org. Pat has written some great books on the story of The Bell Witch plus a brand new one “Ghostly Cries from Dixie”, which is sure to be a hit. He tells us one of the stories at the beginning of the show and I throw in a small teaser story at the end. What a way to spend the night!

After listening to our show head over to www.spookysouthcoast.com where my good friends will be telling ghost stories from 10PM-Midnight and you can listen live. So, listen to the Story of the Bell Witch, go grab the candy and sit back and listen to more stories Tim Weisberg, Matt Moniz and Matt Costa while getting ready for bed.

Happy Halloween!

OHP Radio - Eric Hammel - Where did it all come from?

The story starts: A German Officer get up from bed on the morning of June the 6th 1944 and looks out of his observation post. What he sees is an ocean filled with ships, men, aircraft and he has a feeling of dread.

The question we try and answer today is "Where did all this come from?" We explore what America did pre-war to bring about all that was seen that faithful morning. The planning, the companies, the material, the training and the foresight to bring it all together.

Bestselling Author Eric Hammel joins us again today to give insight on what this meant not only for our Troops but on the Home Front as well. To learn more about Eric Hammel and his books visit his Bio page here or visit his site Eric Hammel Books. Eric is a regular here so we have a lot of information on him, he has over 30 books to his credit with more on the way. We want to thank Mr. Eric for always being there.

OHP Board Meeting: 5:30PM - Nov.6th, 2009 Nash Farm Battlefield, Henry County GA.

OHP RADIO - Captain Dale Dye

We are joined by Captain Dale Dye (USMC Ret.). If you do not recognize the name I’m sure you will know the movies – Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Band of Brothers are just to name a few. Dale Dye is an actor, director, advisor and so much more. We credit him with bringing the real story to Hollywood and putting the realism into the movies we see. Capt. Dye is the real deal – 3 Purple Hearts, Bronze Star and several other medals of distinction. If anyone knows what it should be, he is one that can tell you from firsthand experience.

Also, starting this week you can purchase HQ copies of the show. The cost is $5 per CD. A $2 shipping charge will apply but only to one of them - so you can order 50 copies and still only be $2 shipping. AND, YES - IT'S TAX DEDUCTABLE!

All shows will still remain free online (no change there). All the shows we post are recorded at 48 bits and these CD's will be at 192 bit, Just a cleaner sound. The difference is also the size. We try and keep the downloads under 30MB in size while the CDs do not limit the size for audio.

We are just thinking of ways that we can provide a product at a low cost to you to help fund our Nonprofit Mission. We will be building our past shows so if you want a specific one let me know and I'l work on those first.

Any questions drop me an email at craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com

In The Dirt Live!

This week was a great one, a tiring one. It was one where everything did not work out as planned on Saturday because for whatever reason the first part of the morning did not record. We missed a great in the dirt segment and some interviews with Mark Hudson, Arthur Cook and Bill Yarborough. The good part is that Butch and was joined by Cassie and we did another one on Sunday, which is what you will here today and I know all of the above mentioned to get their stories again.

It was a great show and I really had a blast. Thanks to all that came out especially Mark and his crew from Southeast Treasure Hunters that came from Alabama. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and we hope to do it again soon.
