Long before ghost tours packed the streets of Savannah, the 1909 Gribble House murders nearly tore the city apart. When three women were brutally slaughtered inside a Frogtown boarding house, local police resorted to one of the most bizarre investigations in American history—using bloody wax mannequins and a hired "ghost" to psychologically break their suspects. This episode of Southern Ghost Stories dives into the racial hysteria, the questionable conviction, and the lingering paranormal activity that still haunts the property today, forcing you to question whether the real Savannah Axe Murderer actually got away.

Printer's Alley has long been the heart of Nashville nightlife, a place filled with music, vice, and larger-than-life characters. Few were more beloved than David "Skull" Schulman, the colorful owner of Skull's Rainbow Room and the self-proclaimed Mayor of Printer's Alley. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, we explore Skull's rise from newspaper boy to nightclub legend, the tragic loss that shaped his life, the brutal 1998 treu crime story that shocked Music City, and the ghostly encounters that many believe prove Skull still walks the alley he called home.

In this episode from the vault, Southern Ghost Stories travels to Savannah, Georgia, to explore 432 Abercorn Street—widely considered the most haunted house in one of America’s most haunted cities. Standing on the corner of Abercorn and East Gordon Street near Calhoun Square, this once-elegant 19th-century Greek Revival home sits directly over an old slave burial ground estimated to contain up to a thousand remains. Host Allen Sircy digs into the dark history and local lore surrounding the property, from the tragic 1860s story of a Civil War veteran's daughter to a horrifying 1950s family murder and 1970s reports of a malevolent "Boo Hag" feeding on the area's negative energy. Discover why some locals still refuse to drive past the building at night, what visitors experience outside its walls, and the latest updates on the home's recent sale and planned restoration.

In 1886, Philadelphia developers built a row of brick houses on Lombard Street directly over the forgotten burial ground of the Fourth Presbyterian Church. What followed was a wave of paranormal chaos so intense that newspaper reporters rushed to interview the terrified tenants. From a scarred lady in white singing funeral hymns in empty kitchens and disembodied legs walking through hallways, to a sinister grave in a cellar that kept reforming itself no matter how many times it was filled in, this episode uncovers the unsettling timeline of the Lombard Street hauntings and looks at what stands on top of those forgotten bones today. This is a Philadelphia ghost story you don't want to miss.

On this episode of Southern Ghost Stories we venture into the heart of Jacksonville, Florida, to explore the Old City Cemetery, a mid-nineteenth-century resting place where history and local folklore bleed together. From the mass graves of the catastrophic 1888 yellow fever epidemic to the resting place of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure star Alice Nunn, this cemetery holds generations of the city's collective grief and memory. But its most enduring legend surrounds Marie Louise Gato, a 19-year-old high-society Cuban woman shot down in 1897. Though she named her wealthy, volatile partner as her killer from her deathbed, a captivated public and a controversial acquittal left her family without justice—and sparked a century of ghost stories about a woman in white still wandering beneath the moss-covered oaks.

In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, host Allen Sircy takes listeners back to September 1916 for one of the strangest and most tragic chapters in Tennessee history: the public execution of Big Mary. As the five-ton star attraction of the Sparks World Famous Shows circus, Mary was beloved by audiences until a fatal encounter with an inexperienced handler during a parade in Kingsport sparked widespread public outrage. Driven by pressure from local towns and the media, circus officials and community leaders made the unprecedented decision to sentence the elephant to death. The resulting execution—carried out via a massive railroad crane in the town of Erwin—became an infamous moment in American history that continues to raise haunting questions about justice, spectacle, and revenge.

The Rutherford County Courthouse in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, stands as a living piece of American history—and perhaps something more. In this long lost episode from the vault, we explore the incredible legacy of one of Tennessee’s few remaining antebellum courthouses, tracking its journey through Union occupation, daring Confederate raids, and bizarre World War II military drills. We’ll dive into the tragic 1923 spectacle of James "The Human Fly" Dearing, whose fatal daredevil stunt atop the courthouse tower left a mark on the town that lingers to this day. Join us as we uncover the history, the triumphs, and the ghostly activity that suggest some of Murfreesboro's past residents never truly left.

On this episode of Southern Ghost Stories we are talking about what happened on a freezing February afternoon in 1890, when the halls of American power became a slaughterhouse. William Preston Taulbee—the charismatic Kentucky politician known as "The Mountain Orator"—stepped onto the marble stairs of the U.S. Capitol, only to find himself staring down the barrel of a revolver. The man holding the trigger wasn't a political rival, but a volatile, five-foot-tall newspaper reporter named Charles Kincaid. Discover the brutal history behind the true crime that shocked Washington D.C. and the restless phantom said to still wander the corridors of the United States Capitol.

Before it was Ripley’s Believe It or Not, St. Augustine's Castle Warden was a luxury hotel that became the scene of a deadly 1944 tragedy. Officially, the third-floor fire that killed two women was an accident, but for over eighty years, rumors have persisted about a contentious divorce, a cover-up, and a mysterious figure known only as "Mr. X." Tonight, we investigate the chilling timeline of the fire, the true crime theories left in its wake, and the aggressive real ghost encounters that make this historic landmark one of the most haunted places in Florida.
