The DeWitt Hobgoblin: A Happy Ghost Story

On tonight's Halloween edition of Planet Waves FM, I document how a hobgoblin was released from nearly 170 years of captivity in a church steeple. Plus Mars retrograde, eclipses & 'covid' legal news.

TONIGHT I RETURN TO Planet Waves FM with the first Scorpio edition of 2022, featuring an actual ghost story as we approach All Hallow’s Eve, Days of the Dead and the cross-quarter day Samhain (pronounced saa-WEN). The program’s page is well underway, though I will push it to the top of the feed when the the full show is done. I estimate this will be before 8 pm EDT.

The cemetery above (located a block from my apartment and office) has thousands of unmarked Dutch graves dating back to the 1600s. The area shown is the DeWitt family plot, which family descendants dug up over the summer to get DNA samples out of the teeth of their earliest known ancestors. Six skeletons were removed.

Conducted under the supervision an anthropologist and performed by an archeology team from the State University of New York at New Paltz, the excavation was an unusual feature of the summer. The open graves were an interesting sight walking past this cemetery on the way to the post office each day — which had been largely undisturbed since the fifth and newest edition of the church was built in 1852.

The sideways grave marker in the foreground marked the location of a key to the room where a hobgoblin was confined in an exorcism dating to the mid-1800s. When the DeWitts dug up their ancestors’ graves, they found the key, the hobgoblin was released from its captivity, and quite an adventure ensues.

You will join a group that goes up into the steeple of the church to visit the place where the entitity was confined for approximately 170 years. You will also hear my astrological reading of the scenario right before we go upstairs.

For those who like documented ghost stories, I have a few from an earlier era of Planet Waves. That link brings to to the article “Takes from the Other Side of Astrology.” Though it’s not on the usual job description of an astrologer to get involved in hauntings or making direct contact with the spirit world, my path has been an exception, thanks to other abilities and training and my 8th house Moon.

Archeological site at the Old Dutch Church as it appeared in July 2022. The final excavation, conducted by students at SUNY New Paltz under the supervision of their professors, was about 10 x 10 x 10 — about a thousand cubic feet, revealing six skeletons, some dating back to the mid-1600s.

I’ll also have a look at Mars retrograde, comments on the eclipse cycle we are now in, and news about a New York State court reversing the “covid” “vaccine” mandate and reinstating many city workers who were wrongfully fired.
