Summary

Lincoln, Nebraska is the home of the Cornhuskers and its also the state's capitol city. The Sower stands atop the tower of the Capitol Building, preparing to toss some seeds to businesses and neighborhoods below. Some refer to the area as fly over country and describe the landscape as boring. But for us, if you throw ghosts in the mix, a city becomes suddenly exciting. And a quick drive through the nearby rural areas certainly inspires visions of Children of the Corn. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of Lincoln, Nebraska. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Jannae McCabe and features the Cookiecutter Shark and This Month in History features the creation of Chia Pets. Our location was suggested by Dan.

0:53.1	podcast. Ghost tours for the theater of the mind. I'm your host Diane and this is Kelly.
0:58.6	Kelly on this episode we are doing a topic that was inspired from one of the zoom calls we did
1:04.3	with our listeners. Dan had joined us on there and he said have you guys done any place in Nebraska?
1:09.1	And I was like well I know over in Omaha we did like Fort Omaha but you know we really don't have

2:15.9	at around seven inches to the whale shark which can be 60 feet in length although the whale shark
