  • S7,E2: Abhartach, Ireland's First Vampire

    • S7,E1: The Haunting of Virginia Campbell

      In 1960s Scotland, eleven-year-old Virginia Campbell became the focus of one of the country’s most documented poltergeist cases as knocking walls, shifting furniture, and levitating desks left clergy, doctors, and teachers searching for answers. Decades later, her story still lingers in the dark, daring us to decide what was truly happening inside that small house in Sauchie, Scotland.

        Step into the long shadow of "St. James Infirmary", a song steeped in sorrow, myth, and lingering ghosts.

      • S6, E13: This Angel Has Holly Wings

        This Christmas, Shadow Carriers turns its gaze to a beloved New Orleans holiday figure with a story far deeper than his cheerful grin.

        In this special holiday episode, we uncover the origins of Mr. Bingle and the artists, dreamers, and craftsmen who brought him into being. Through history, memory, and a touch of seasonal magic, we explore how one character came to embody the spirit of a city and why his legacy continues to linger each winter.

      • S6, E12: Room Service

        In a city where the veil between the living and the dead is paper-thin, even luxury comes with a ghost or two. From the restless spirits of the French Quarter’s grand hotels to the lingering echoes in forgotten boutique guest rooms, we check in to some of New Orleans’ most haunted lodgings - and uncover the stories that never quite left.

        Part of our Four Shadows series, featuring original music by West Coast rapper and producer Tommy Jordan.

      • S6, E11: The Night Menagerie

        Step into The Night Menagerie, where the velvet curtains of 712 Orleans conceal a spectacle of terror. Beneath the glittering lights of a traveling show, a trapeze act ends in tragedy, and the roar of a caged tiger echoes through the night. This chilling tale explores the thin line between entertainment and nightmare in old New Orleans. 

        Part of our special “Four Shadows” series - featuring original music by West Coast independent rapper and producer Tommy Jordan.

      • S6, E9: A Streetcar Named Owl

        The iron wheels of the New Orleans streetcars have carried generations through the heart of the Crescent City — and not all their passengers have been among the living. Along the clattering tracks of St. Charles and Canal, whispers of vanished conductors, spectral riders, and echoes of tragedy linger in the night air. This haunting journey through the city’s veins is underscored by an original soundscape from West Coast artist Tommy Jordan, created exclusively for our Four Shadows series.
