From a very popular 19th century spiritualist medium, to the Athens Lunatic Asylum and the well-known block party, we explore Athens’ identity as a Halloween capital. We’ll answer questions like: “Can you connect the dots with local cemeteries and really draw a pentagram over the city?” and “Is Room 428 of Wilson Hall or the Asylum really haunted?” To hear those answers, continue to listen - if you dare.  Additional resources.  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Ground-Spirit-Jonathan-Koons/dp/0804012083">Sharon Hatfield's book, "Enchanted Ground: The Spirit Room of Jonathan Koons." </a><a href="https://athenshistory.org/asylum-tours-with-george-eberts-restarting/">George Eberts' walking tours of the old Athens Lunatic Asylum. </a> PROHFILES is a Wessler Media original podcast on the Evergreen Podcasts Network.

NO RIDERS | PART 2

100.7, WMMS. The Buzzard. How did this station become so iconic? How did a small group of young hippies, some from Ohio, some from Boston, against all odds and no budget, achieve such unprecedented success? And how did it all come crashing down? This is the story of the rise and fall of WMMS - one of the most influential FM rock stations of all time.

SEASON 2 | THE WRATH OF THE BUZZARD

“PROHFILES” explores the backstories behind the people you always wish you knew better, the places you've visited but never learned their secrets, and the ideas and events that together make Ohio a great place to call home.
