Hello, you sputacular people.

Welcome to History Ghostbump Redux.

I am your host, I am.

And this is Kelly.

Kelly, on this episode, we are going to be covering one of my most favorite authors, Mark Twain.

Excellent.

I would actually pull, I have all of his works in one book that usually sits up on the bookshelf up here, but right now it's

propping up the fan next to Kelly's side of the bed, so I don't have it available to show it to the

camera. I didn't know that was the book that you chose. So you have Mark Twain right next to you while you

sleep. Excellent. We did this originally back in 2015, so I'm looking forward to going through all of this

history and the life and afterlife of Mark Twain with you. Are you ready? I'm ready.

History tells the story of the world and of our lives. Sometimes that history goes bump in the night.

Broadcasting from the center of oddity and the supernatural in central Florida, it's the

History Goes Bump podcast. Mark Twain authored some of the most beloved stories in American literature, and he lived

an amazing life. This was a life of literary genius, but it was also one of financial ruin, an immense

pain when it came to his family life. He lived in many places and owned several homes with his home in Hartford,

Connecticut, being his favorite. And he said of it that those years were the happiest of his life.

Perhaps that is why he seems to have returned there as a spirit. Twain claimed that he didn't believe

in all this nonsense about ghosts.

But he joined the Society for Cycical Research and read all of their journals.

We wonder if he perhaps may believe in ghosts now.

Join us as we explore the life and afterlife of Mark Twain. Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri on November 30, 1835.
