Summary

A tiny, uninhabitable, rocky island sits off the coast of Pointe du Raz, in western Brittany, France in Raz de Sein. This island is home to Tevennec Lighthouse. Lighthouses are meant to prevent deaths by guiding ships through dangerous waters. But Tevennec has been the scene of death many times and even before the lighthouse was built, local folklore tells of a history of death and haunting on the island. Legend says that Tevennec was home to Ankou, the Breton name for Death himself. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Tevennec Lighthouse! The Moment in Oddity features the burial of a shaman 12,000 years ago and This Day in History is by April Rogers-Krick and features the UFO crash in Roswell. Our location was suggested by listener Janet Sheppard and our Research Assistant was April Rogers-Krick.

0:00.0	The History tells the story of the story of the world and of our lives. Sometimes that history goes bump in the night.
0:26.0	Broadcasting from the center of Oddity and the supernatural in Central Florida,
0:39.0	it's The History Goes Bump Podcast.
0:54.2	Ghost Tours for the Theater of the Mind.
0:56.3	I am your host Diane, and this is Denise.
0:59.0	And on today's episode, we are bringing you a location that was suggested to us by our listener Janet Sheppard and we had research assistance from April Rogers Crick and Janet really challenged us with this one. This is the Tavenick Lighthouse. Couple of things, first of all, it's in France,
1:15.0	and so there's a lot of French words involved today
1:17.4	and you know that Denise and I are a bit challenged
1:19.7	when it comes to pronunciations.
1:21.3	French is not our second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth language.
1:25.2	So forgive us if we have some mispronunciations today.
1:28.8	And this was not only a challenge because of the language, but also because there's not a lot
1:34.0	lot out there about this lighthouse. We searched and searched to find out who
1:39.1	built it, what it was built from, all of those little details that we like to get into, and there was really nothing out there.
1:47.0	But I do guarantee you that this is probably going to be one of our creepier podcasts, because this place is not only incredibly haunted, it is
1:55.8	saturated in legend and lore that goes back to the Celtic time and we're talking
2:00.6	about a place that drove men crazy. So they did some crazy things, killed themselves.
2:05.6	This really is the hub of death over in that area.
2:08.8	Oh good, because I thought it was going to be creepy because of my pronunciations of the French words.
2:13.4	Well for any of our French listeners it might be a little creepy for them to hear that.
2:18.8	Yeah so for the record when we were in New Orleans they were having fun driving through the town
2:25.1	having me try to pronounce French signs, French words, and they thought it was great
