Southern Gothic

Samuel Jocelyn's Restless Spirit

Listen Later

It was a chilly evening in April of 1810 when Alexander Hostler sat alone in his room with a single candle flickering in the darkness. Only days before, Hostler’s lifelong friend Samuel Jocelyn, Jr. had been found dead, leaving the young man absolutely devastated. But on this particular night, his suffering was interrupted by the sound of a voice calling to him from the stillness– a voice all too familiar.

Join us as we explore the lore behind this classic Wilmington, North Carolina legend.
