Bonus Episode: Halloween Spooky Tales from the Course

[00:00:00] Welcome to another episode of Did I Tell You About My Albatross?

[00:00:16] I'm your host Albie, this is the goth podcast for Honest to Generates.

[00:00:20] It's like teaming up with your favorite for some every week and diving into the best

[00:00:23] stories in and around goth.

[00:00:25] You guys ready to tee off?

[00:00:26] Let's go! I just love it. So we're gonna be diving into all of it because there's a lot related to the world of golf in and around golf. And that's what we're all about here. And did I tell you about my other trust? Now, before we dive in, let me share my personal experience because I feel I have a connection to this other world. Okay, there's other dimension that has been strange

[00:01:40] for probably the last 16, 17 years, okay?

[00:01:44] Something crazy happened to me. in this cemetery. It's late at night, fog's rolling and it's spooky. I mean, it is straight out of the movie like, poor set, it's crazy. So I grabbed my camera and as she's telling the stories, I'm taking pictures on my digital camera of the cemetery. And what was shocking was after I would take a picture,

[00:03:03] dozens of these little green spheres, mom, and the whole family and I, we go out to eat breakfast, right? We eat breakfast. I'm showing my mom, my sister, my brother-in-law, the pictures. And someone overheard us and this lady walks up to us and says, hey, excuse me, my name's Maggie. I'm an author and I'm actually doing a book on ghosts of Amelia Island. Do you mind if I'm sorry, but I overheard what you had said.

[00:04:22] Do you mind if I take a look at the pictures?

[00:04:23] She looked at him and she said, oh my gosh, these would be great for the book I'm writing.

[00:04:26] Would you mind if I put them in the book? literally going insane over again, what seemed to be nothing like there was nothing there. So I go under the, you know, again, some bungalows. I go under the crawl space or I shine a light under the crawl space and go outside. Look, there was nothing there. Okay. They're also they're just, a golf course in, in North Carolina. And my father and I would jump the fence a lot in the evening. Sorry, Tanglewood about that, but we would jump the fence in the evenings and go play a few holes, right? So it's just something that I will always remember about my dad.

[00:07:00] It's something that I share.

[00:08:21] So what's interesting about that night with the dogs barking and going crazy But when I go in and turn the scorecard in, again, thinking of my dad, bittersweet, they write the scores on a dry erase board. When they write down the scores, I take a picture of it. I actually take several pictures. And in one of the pictures, there's a green orb hovering right above the scoreboard. I don't even know what all that means, right?

[00:08:23] All I know is that I'm open-minded, okay?

[00:08:26] I'm open-minded to this we obviously had to call the stories. It looked at you all signs point the fact that he took his own life. And it's eerie. Like this tree's still there. It's one of the oldest trees at our course. And I don't know much about it. I tried even looking at the story up with a chair on here. I couldn't

[00:09:40] even find it in any of the records here in Hillsborough

[00:09:42] County. But but it's true. I mean, I verified it with even 1960s a man shot and killed a woman finishing her round of golf on the 18th hole since then Many golfers supposedly have heard the sound of a gunshot and a chilling woman scream Allegedly golfers have gone as far as calling 911 to report their experience while historical evidence of any original murder has yet to be found

[00:11:01] reports of city parks haunts

[00:12:02] First hole of Montgomery National Golf Club, there are two gravestones of the original settlers

[00:12:04] of the property.

[00:12:05] One of these settlers, supposedly,

[00:12:07] strolls the course in his hat and overalls.

[00:12:10] His apparition is seen by golfers in the early morning light.

[00:12:14] Additionally, one of the golf clubs deceased founders

[00:12:16] is said to still be checking in on the course.

[00:12:19] His pale face is often peering into windows.

[00:12:24] Now, in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Japanese on the course. If you ever find yourself teen off of the Garrison Golf Course, be sure to watch your surroundings. You never know what you may be looking in the woods. So this is a story from Arizona, Trilogy Golf Club. The spirits that haunt this course are different than those on the list before. Okay, they're believed to be related to Native Americans

[00:13:40] that once resided in this area.

[00:13:42] Strange winds patterns can be seen while playing the course.

[00:13:46] Whirl winds move in any regular and bizarre ways. And then in Victoria Golf Club, Victoria British Columbia, the beautiful Canadian golf course is over 125 years old. However, its pass is not as innocent as its beauty. In 1936, Dorius Gravelin had a meeting one night out on the course with her estranged husband.

[00:15:00] What exactly transpired is still unknown.

[00:15:03] Her body would be discovered by a caddy five days later along the shoreline of the course. stat to me like 40,000 golfers. Okay. So lightning strikes accounted for deaths of nine golfers over a 10 year stretch. So lightning is obviously a huge concern, but it's only killing nine people. There's over 15,000 injuries a year from golf carts. These are the top 10, in my opinion,

[00:16:20] terrible ways to die. I mean, it's never good to die on a golf course, but these are, these

[00:16:24] are probably the worst ways you can do it. Number second golfer we found who was killed by the shaft of one of his clubs. Another died when his driver broke during a swing and part of the shaft pierced an artery

[00:17:44] in his groin, causing on the guy to search for a lost ball. A jury ruled that the kick was an act of self-defense. Number nine, after his round, a man was searching for his balls in a South African dam when he was attacked by a crocodile and disappeared into the water. His body was found the next morning without mutilation,

[00:19:02] but with a few teeth marks.

[00:19:04] Park Rangers killed the 12 foot reptile.

[00:19:06] Number 10, a wealthy businessman from Tulsa.

[00:20:20] Wheeler was shot dead in his car

[00:20:22] at Southern Hills Country Club after a game of golf.

[00:20:26] Wheeler had become involved with Bolger suburban Detroit. He was declared legally dead in 1982, but his final resting place remained unknown, fueling decades of speculation and rumors. Former mob lawyer Reginald Bubba Pulp Jr. claimed to have new information on the case, suggesting that Hoffa is not hiding overseas or submerged in a body of water, but rather buried beneath a green at Savannah

[00:21:42] Inn in Gulf Country Club in Georgia. This location off the coast of Georgia on Wilmington Island
