To kick off spooky season we are venturing out of the South and exploring the legend of the headless horseman. 

This legend has been sending shivers down the spines of folks for generations. From its roots in European folklore to Washington Irving's famous tale, this ghostly figure has become a symbol of fear, mystery, and the supernatural.

Welcome to this episode of Southern Haunts Originals, where I read y’all one of my original spooky short stories. I usually exclusively release these short stories on my Patreon, but I wanted to give everyone a little taste! 

Tonight’s tale is called A Lost Lover’s Revenge, and I hope you enjoy it!

Now, cuddle up, dim the lights, and let me tell you a story.

As summer approaches and temperatures rise, many of us look forward to hitting the beach for some much-needed rest and relaxation.

But what happens when a day in the sun turns into a nightmare?

California, California, Here we come!
This week I am taking you out of the south and we are heading west my friends and exploring some haunts the golden state has to offer.
The Whaley House and Preston Castle are two of the most haunted locations in California, with a rich history and a reputation for paranormal activity. The Whaley House, located in San Diego, is a historic home turned museum that is believed to be haunted by the spirits of its former residents, while the Preston Castle is a former reform school in Ione that is rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of its former inmates. Both locations offer a fascinating glimpse into California's past and the ghosts that are said to linger within their walls.
