Episode 146: Iceboxes and Cemeteries: True Crime and Hauntings in Houston

This show highlights Houston's most disturbing true crime and supernatural legends, beginning with the Rice Hotel, famous as the last resting spot of President Kennedy and now known for the unsettling apparitions of spectral dancers haunting its grand ballroom. The episode also details the gentle, musical haunting of the Julia Ideson Library by its late caretaker and his dog, contrasting it with the intense, traumatic hauntings of the Old Jeff Davis Hospital and the Black Hope Cemetery, both built over disturbed burial grounds, where residents report screams, poltergeists, and the palpable energy of a curse. Finally,we also revisits the grotesque 1965 Icebox Murders—the unsolved dismemberment of an elderly couple—and the baffling vanishing of their reclusive son, Charles Rogers, whose disappearance fueled decades of sensational conspiracy theories, including claims connecting him to the JFK assassination.
