Rethinking Our History
In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors."
So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.

Episode 27: The Bombing of MOVE
This week we are looking at one of the wildest events I personally have ever heard of.
In 1985 an organization known as MOVE was causing waves in the community. They had already been run out of one home, and now the cops were on their way to run them out of another.
But what they ended up doing would take the lives of 11 people in that house, 5 of them children. and destroy two city blocks. Within months Philly became known as The City That Bombed Itself.
