Mountain Jane Doe & the Lights of Red Dog Road | Minisode 17.09.2026 19минIn our recent episode on Bloody Harlan, we explored the legend of Headless Annie, but she isn’t the only ghost said to haunt the mountains of Harlan County. Just outside the town of Harlan, locals have long reported strange lights moving through the woods along Red Dog Road, a rugged mountain route where legend claims the spirit of a murdered coal miner still wanders after dark. But there is another story connected to Red Dog Road, and this one is very real. In 1969, the body of an unidentified young woman was discovered nearby and buried in a small cemetery along the road beneath a headstone that read simply “Unidentified Girl.” For nearly fifty years, she was known only as Mountain Jane Doe, until the search for her identity finally connected her to a family that had been waiting decades for answers.

Bloody Harlan & the Tale of Headless Annie 14.09.2026 50минHarlan County was once the center of a bitter and bloody struggle between coal miners and the powerful companies that controlled much of life in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky. But today, high above those old mining towns up on Black Mountain, locals claim something from that violent past may still be wandering the winding roads after dark. They call her Headless Annie—a gruesome apparition said to appear without warning along the roadside, sometimes standing motionless in the glare of passing headlights, other times following those unfortunate enough to encounter her. Some say Annie was the daughter of a miner, brutally murdered during the violent labor struggles that gave Bloody Harlan its name. But that is only one version of the tale, and the deeper you dig into the legend, the stranger the story of Headless Annie becomes.

The Thing in the White House | Encore Episode 07.09.2026 35минOn July 26, 1911, Major Archibald Butt, the military aide to President William Howard Taft, wrote to his sister-in-law about something rather odd that had been happening inside the walls of the White House for months: “My dear Clara, It seems that the White House is haunted." The Major then continues on to describe some of the interesting and eerie claims made members of the White House staff, folks who claim to have come into contact with an entity that has since become known simply as "The Thing." This episode was done in collaboration with Howard Dorre of the chart-topping history podcast Plodding Through the Presidents.

The Many Lives of Agnes of Glasgow 31.08.2026 1ч 12минFor generations, visitors to Camden, South Carolina’s historic Quaker Cemetery have stopped at the unusual grave of a young woman known only as Agnes of Glasgow. According to local legend, the twenty-year-old crossed the Atlantic during the American Revolution in search of the British officer she loved, following him deep into the Carolina backcountry only to die before they could ever be reunited. Some say her heartbroken spirit still wanders the old cemetery and the woods nearby, forever searching for the man she traveled thousands of miles to find. But the weathered stone marking Agnes’s grave leaves behind little more than a name, an age, and a date—and when you start digging into the history behind her romantic tale, some of its most familiar details become difficult to explain. More than two centuries of newspaper accounts, local histories, old travel literature, and oral tradition reveal that Agnes of Glasgow has lived many very different lives in the stories told about her. Somewhere among them may be the truth about the mysterious young woman buried in Camden—and how her forgotten grave became the center of one of South Carolina’s most enduring legends.

Ghost Ship of the Outer Banks | Encore Episode 24.08.2026 38минOn the morning of January 31, 1921, Surfman C.P. Brady of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cape Hatteras Station No. 183 stood watch over the treacherous waters of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic." His early morning shift, had been uneventful until the mist began to lift around 6:30. What appeared before him was chilling: a massive, five-masted schooner, sails still raised, had run aground on the Outer Diamond Shoals. Its name was the Carroll A. Deering. But if this sight wasn't strange enough, when the Coast Guard finally made their way out to the shipwrecked vessel, it was discovered that the crew was nowhere to be found-- a maritime mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

The Haunting Melody of Pass Christian's Ghostly Harpist 17.08.2026 50минAlong the quiet shoreline of Pass Christian, Mississippi, an old legend claims that on certain nights the delicate music of a harp can be heard drifting in from somewhere over the Gulf. There is no musician on the beach, no vessel visible offshore, and seemingly nothing out on the dark water that could explain it. Yet the story behind that strange melody begins thousands of miles away, with a wealthy couple fleeing war-torn Uruguay aboard a ship bound for a new life in New Orleans. What followed became one of the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s strangest maritime legends—a tale of romance, betrayal, greed, and a voyage that supposedly ended somewhere off Pass Christian. Whether any of it actually happened is another question entirely, but generations of local lore insist that something from that ill-fated journey may still linger offshore, where the faint sound of harp strings is said to rise above the water after dark.

Robert Johnson's Deal with the Devil | Encore Episode 06.08.2026 49минIn 1931, Robert Johnson walked into a juke joint in Banks, Mississippi with a guitar strapped to his back. Only a little less than a year before he mysteriously disappeared from the Delta after being teased for his lack of musicianship. But now Robert Johnson was back and he was ready to take the stage and show everyone in that juke what he could do, displaying a musical mastery that left everyone shocked. From that day on, the legend of Robert Johnson has become one of the most notorious pieces of lore in American music-- a myth that claims Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for an otherworldy ability to play the blues.

Ghosts of the Myrtles Plantation | Encore Episode 03.08.2026 34минThis special encore episode originally aired on June 9, 2020. The Myrtles Plantation has long been called the most haunted house in America. Tucked beneath towering live oaks in the heart of Louisiana's plantation country, the grand Creole estate has become famous for its ghostly legends—phantom children, mysterious mirrors, unexplained footsteps, and the apparition of a woman in a green turban said to wander its halls more than two centuries after her death. But behind every haunting lies a far more complicated history. Over the years, countless stories have been told about the Myrtles, blending documented tragedy with generations of local folklore until it became nearly impossible to separate fact from legend. From unsolved murder and deadly epidemics to the plantation's most infamous ghosts, this is the story of how one of America's most beautiful historic homes earned a reputation that continues to draw believers, skeptics, and paranormal investigators from around the world. Guest voiceovers for this episode include: Simone Taylor, creator of 90’s True Crime … Zach Auld, host of CastJunkie.

Legend of Sadie Baker | Premium Episode Unlocked! 29.07.2026 21минHidden away in a quiet Middle Tennessee cemetery is a simple headstone bearing just two words: Sadie Baker. For generations, locals have whispered that the woman buried beneath it wasn't simply laid to rest—she was accused of witchcraft, buried alive by an angry mob, and with her dying breath unleashed a curse that would haunt the family responsible for her fate. But how much of that story is actually true? In this episode, we unravel one of Tennessee's most enduring pieces of local folklore, tracing the legend from its chilling tale of jealousy and betrayal to the real woman who may lie beneath the stone. Along the way, we'll explore why visitors still leave offerings at Sadie Baker's grave—and why some believe her story isn't over yet.

The Mystery of Peter Stuart Ney 27.07.2026 49минOn December 7, 1815, Marshal Michel Ney—one of Napoleon Bonaparte's most celebrated military commanders—was reportedly executed before a French firing squad in Paris. Yet in the rolling countryside of North Carolina, generations have insisted that history got it wrong. Instead, they claim Ney escaped his execution, crossed the Atlantic, and spent the rest of his life living under the name Peter Stuart Ney as a quiet frontier schoolteacher. It's a legend built on battlefield scars, whispered confessions, strange coincidences, and a dying declaration that has fueled debate for nearly two centuries. From nineteenth-century newspaper investigations to multiple grave exhumations and even a modern French forensic team searching for answers, the mystery has refused to fade. Whether it's one of history's greatest cover-ups or simply one of America's most enduring legends, the story of Peter Stuart Ney continues to blur the line between documented history and local belief.

Mystery of the Gurdon Light | Encore Episode 22.07.2026 25минThis encore episode originally aired on May 6, 2022! Travel about 85 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas along Interstate 30 and you come to the town of Gurdon. In a remote area, several miles outside Gurdon sit railroad tracks for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. It is along a four-mile stretch of track that sightings of a floating, glowing orb have been reported for the last ninety years, now known as the Gurdon Light. While there are of course scientific theories that attempt to explain the origin of the Gurdon Light, many instead believe the phenomenon is linked to a single event in history, the murder of a railroad foreman in 1931. Perhaps not everything seen along the railroad tracks is scientifically explainable, and if not, how long has the area been that way? Is the light something that only dates to the 1930s, or is it something that has been there much longer? Perhaps the Gurdon Light has always been there, it just took people to give it a name… This episode is made possible through the support of our sponsor: Elevate your summer bedding with Quince.

Trapped Underwater in the Nickajack Cave | Encore Episode 20.07.2026 36минJust west of Chattanooga, Tennessee is the Nickajack Cave, a historic natural wonder flooded in 1967 due to the construction of the Nickajack Dam. Carved by the Tennessee River over millennia, the cave has a rich history filled with tales of the Chickamauga, Confederate soldiers, and even the notorious Man in Black, Johnny Cash. Today the cave is a wildlife refuge for a colony of endangered bats, but back in 1992, after it was shut off to the public for this purpose, a man named David Gant dared enter anyway, becoming trapped in the dark, underwater cavern without any air to breathe.

The Fiery Tomb of Josie Arlington | Encore Episode 16.07.2026 39минJosie Arlington, one of the most infamous Madams in New Orleans’ red-light district, Storyville was born Mary Anna Deubler to impoverished German immigrants in 1864. Theories abound as to exactly why or when Josie entered the world of sex work, but by at least the age of seventeen she was working in the brothels of New Orleans. Entrepreneurial in spirit, Josie worked to create a life greater than what she knew, first owning the ‘Chateau Lobrano,’ and then with the creation of Storyville she built and operated The Arlington at 225 North Basin Street. The Arlington was considered one of the finest brothels in the city. Yet despite her flourishing business and increasing wealth, what Josie wanted most was to be a respected woman of New Orleans society. Josie would never get her wish in life, but she left behind a legacy that exceeds just her life. Even her tomb is unique with carved torches and a bronze maiden knocking on the door. And if the stories are true the flames continue to burst into life and the maiden knocks on the door of the tomb, forever attempting to gain entry.

Showdown at the Sure Enuf Hotel | Minisode 15.07.2026 16минIn our last episode, we explored Gallatin Street—the notorious waterfront district where Bridget Fury and some of nineteenth-century New Orleans' most dangerous criminals made their names. But Gallatin wasn't the city's first den of vice. Decades before the steamboat transformed the riverfront, there was another place where gamblers, thieves, prostitutes, and rivermen gathered on the ragged edge of the Crescent City. They simply called it the Swamp. Hidden in the city's old backswamp stood rough saloons and gambling houses built from cypress planks and dismantled flatboats, where fortunes disappeared as quickly as they were earned. Among the district's most notorious establishments was the Sure Enuf Hotel, where an afternoon card game between a towering Kentucky flatboatman named Bill Sedley and two gambling brothers erupted into one of the bloodiest stories ever told about old New Orleans—a tale that perfectly captures the brutal world that gave rise to Gallatin Street itself.

Bridget Fury and the Vice of Gallatin Street 13.07.2026 32минGallatin Street was once the most dangerous two blocks in New Orleans. Just steps from the bustling French Market, the city's notorious waterfront vice district was a place where gamblers, sailors, thieves, and sex workers collided beneath the glow of dance halls and saloons—and where violence was simply the cost of doing business. Among the larger-than-life figures who carved out a reputation there, few were more feared than Bridget Fury, a fiery red-haired woman whose name became synonymous with knives, crime, and survival in one of America's most lawless neighborhoods.
