Southern Ghost Stories

This episode explores the chilling history of Madison, Wisconsin, focusing first on the Capital City Killings—a series of unsolved, brutal murders of seven young women spanning from 1968 to 1982 in the UW-Madison and surrounding Dane County areas. The second half pivots to the supernatural history of the UW campus, describing documented hauntings like the discovery of body parts in Science Hall, the lingering spirits of two founders buried beneath Bascom Hill's Lincoln statue, and the ghosts of a fallen construction worker and a fatal heart attack victim (timpanist Samuel Segal) who allegedly demand the "ghost light" remains lit at the Wisconsin Union Theater. All of this and more!

Albany, New York, is a city layered with history and secrets, where the past still echoes in its grandest buildings. This episode explores three of its most compelling and eerie legends: the tragic, unsolved 1922 mystery of the Parcella Post Baby, a newborn delivered to an undertaker via U.S. Parcel Post. We then delve into the heart of state power at the Capitol, uncovering the hidden Devil's Face carved into the Million Dollar Staircase—a curse blamed for the catastrophic 1911 Capitol Fire that destroyed countless archives and trapped the ghost of night watchman Samuel Abbott in his eternal patrol. Finally, we meet the friendly phantom, Jason, a stonemason allegedly sealed into the State Library's foundation, whose helpful spirit still assists researchers by guiding hard-to-find books off the stacks and into their hands.

In 1692, they called her the Queen of Hell. This is the story of Martha Carrier, the fierce and unyielding center of the Salem witch hysteria's spread into Andover. While others confessed under duress, Martha stood defiant, even when her own children were tortured for testimony. Driven by political fear attached to her mysterious, legendary husband, Thomas Carrier, and condemned by authorities like Cotton Mather, Martha refused to break. This podcast tells the shocking truth of the Andover witch crisis and the incredible story of the woman who chose defiance over deception, even on the gallows.

After a wild October, I'm getting back into the swing of things and digging into some listener questions. From a Boston witch trial, to ghost stories at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, I'm all over the place. Also, I dive into the story of Jim Clinstock, a professional wrestler who was found dying in the floor of a Charlotte, North Carolina dentist office in the 1940s. I also dig into the cursed Annabelle doll that I avoided last month when we were both together in Lexingont! Lots of fun this week!

Allen and Lee are back and this time we are covering Opryland, the beloved theme park in Nashville that was torn down in the 1990s. The property started out as a Native American village in the 14th century before becoming a plantation and then a theme park. Also,  we talk about a tour bus where a country music legend is still kicking around. Lots of fun this week! 

And, yes, that is me on the cover art of the book when I was a kid at Opryland!

From Trousdale Place to Monthaven, there are so many wild ghost stories in the area!

I had so much talking grave robbing last week I figured I'd spend some more time talking about some notable grave robbers like William Jansen, Harvey Kendall, Charley Keaton and my favorite grave robber- "Old Man Dead" William Cunningham! The shenanigans are through the roof as these daring resurrection men plunder the burying grounds in Cincinnati, Syracuse, Baltimore and Washington D.C.

It's October so why not drop a bonus episode! I've been teasing my new book, Hexed, but I haven't really had much time to talk about it. Basically, it's one of the wildest voodoo stories I've ever found. It really got me thinking about voodoo and some of the strange stories I've researched over the years so I decided to drop a bonus episode to talk about some of the weirdest and wildest voodoo stories I've come across like the Fairvue Curse and Julia Brown and the New Orleans Hurricane of 1915. This one is a lot of fun!

Allen is back getting knee-deep into some of the wildest and weirdest legends and folklore across the country. We are talking about a religious sect in Kansas City that ran afoul of the law by drinking the blood of children! We also dig into the history of the legendary Pope Lick Goatman in Louisville, Kentucky before diving into Tennessee's most haunted hotel- the Read House in Chattanooga where Annalissa Neatherly is said to still inhabit room 311. All of this and more on this week's show!
