0:00.0	History tells the story of the world and of our lives.
0:21.8	Sometimes that history goes bump in the night, broadcasting from the Central
0:34.9	Party and the Supernatural in Central Florida, it's the History Goes Bump Podcast.
0:48.0	Hello, you spectacular people. Welcome to this 386th episode of the History Goes Bump Podcast.
0:54.5	Ghost tours for the theater of the mind. I'm your host, Diane.
0:57.5	And this is Kelly. Kelly, on this episode we are doing a location over in the UK. It was

1:54.0	make a big deal about that. I know. I must have been lacking sleep because of our investigation.
1:59.0	I'll use that as my excuse. Well, I would imagine so. All right. Well, thanks for joining
2:03.2	us on the crew, everybody. And now this moment, Naughty.
2:16.3	The moment in Naughty was suggested by Mary Bright and Mary Berkillo. The superstition
2:20.8	of knocking on wood has very interesting origins. There is an ancient belief that homodriads
