In 1881, confessed murderer George "Big Nose" Parrott was hanged by vigilantes after he tried to escape from jail in Rawlins, Wyoming. While that was the end of George, it wasn't the end of his remains. Some of them were given to a teenaged girl, some were hidden in a barrel to be discovered in 1950 when a store was being built in Rawlins, and some of them were used to make shoes believed to have been worn by Wyoming's third governor at his inauguration in 1893.

To find out more listen to this show and buy Dr. Mark E Miller's book Big Nose George His Troublesome Trail.

Today the Greene County Almshouse is a beautiful historical landmark in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.  The site, now a museum, once housed the forgotten members of society-the poor, mentally ill, and disabled.  There were nearly 1,000 deaths at the poor farm between the years of 1861 and 1964.  In our latest episode we will chat about the haunted history of the former poorhouse that is now a popular tourist attraction for ghost hunters.
