Please remember to visit our show sponsor: What The Riff? Podcast Our journey started when we found we were continually getting in trouble with our wives in Sunday School. It seemed that each week one of us would answer a question with a song lyric from Pink Floyd, The Who, Rush, or some other Rock band. This would spur another of us to pick up the strand, and before long the entire class had been sucked into a rabbit hole of Rock lyrics. Clearly we had a problem. While we could have just become more disciplined and acted like adults, we took a different path. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. That second path was to unleash our enjoyment of song lyrics and rock music on the world via the internet. That seemed like a lot more fun than acting our age, so we decided to give it a try. Our goal is to bring you a month and year in rock music each week. We'll highlight an album selection and play some songs from it, discussing the group, the time, and whatever else comes to mind. We'll also pull out some songs that were popular to us around that time. We hope that this will bring back some memories and introduce you to some music you might not have heard. So welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends! We're so glad you could attend. Unsolved Mysteries Triple Play: Poltergeists, Sickle Weasels and a Ghostly Possession Here are Three Unsolved Mysteries that are sure to entertain, have you scratching your head or hiding under the covers. #1 Butler Street Poltergeist For several weeks in January of 1959, 80 year old Mrs. Charles Papineau and her 13 year old grandson, Wayne, reported a strange occurrence. Several times for no apparent reason their windows in the home would shatter into pieces and smash all over the inside of the home on Butler Street in Springfield, Massachusetts Both Mrs. Papineau and Wayne claimed to have heard odd thumping sounds just before windows were smashed to pieces. In a week, 39 windows were broken. The glazier who installed replacement panes told a reporter that the glass had all fallen inside the house, as if a violent force had struck them in the center from the outside of the home. During the times the windows smashed both witnesses are said to be inside the home. Upon replacing windows with a thicker variety, the glazier was called again to replace them as each window replaced were smashed about again. Despite a police investigation, no culprits or evidence of a crime were found. None of the neighbors reported any unusual activity. After the police investigation petered out, John C. Parker, an architect and part-time paranormal investigator took over. He said that he was "pretty sure poltergeists are to blame." and set up a recording thermometer near the bathroom window where three panes had been broken to prove that sudden drops in temperature showed evidence of ghosts. He also planned to install a strong plastic window in that room to prevent any further breakages. Apart from frightening the nervous Mrs. Papineau, who suffered windows exploding right in front of her, the most affected victim appeared to be the insurance agent asked to process her claim for $93 in replacement glass. Without a cause other than poltergeist to list on the damage claim form, he had to call his head office for instructions. The window breakages ended a little less than a week after they began. The responsible party was never positively identified. Speculation continues among students of psychic phenomenon, but it’s worth noting Mrs. Papineau herself didn’t believe in ghosts. John C. Parker tried to convince her that a poltergeist was at work, but Mrs. Papineau would have nothing more to do with investigating this possibility. She called the police once more to see if they had any solid leads and they agreed to meet her at
