12 min - Ep. 68 | The Other Georgia: Wine, Gods, and Witches
What happens when a bottle of wine takes you somewhere you've never been?
This week, we're traveling to the country of Georgia, a land of breathtaking mountains, ancient traditions, and folklore that's as beautiful as it is terrifying.
It all started with Erica's bottle of Georgian wine, which led us down a rabbit hole of 8,000-year-old winemaking traditions, mysterious mountain goddesses, legendary warriors, and some seriously creepy creatures.
Because every corner of the world has its own monsters, mysteries, and legends, even if we've never heard of them.
🍷 Grab a glass and join us as we discover the other Georgia!

32 min - Ep. 67 | Listener Pour #7: Hangman's Tree
What if the old tree you passed on a quiet country road had a much darker history than you realized?
This week’s Listener Pour comes from Savannah, who takes us to South Carolina and the legend of the Hangman’s Tree, a centuries-old cypress said to have been used for executions during the Revolutionary War.
From a condemned Loyalist who reportedly smiled and waved before his death to a man who was hanged… only to turn up alive later, this tree has collected some seriously strange stories over the years.
And according to local legend, at least one of those who died there may still be hanging around. 👻
🍷 Pour a glass and join us for Listener Pour #7: The Hangman’s Tree.

Part 2— The Salem Witch Trials
The Salem Witch Trials ended more than 300 years ago. But did everyone who died there actually leave?
We're back with Brenda from Horrifying History to explore present-day Salem and the ghost stories that have grown out of its dark past.
From the haunted House of the Seven Gables and the mysterious happenings at the Witch House to the alleged curse of Giles Corey, Salem has no shortage of paranormal legends.
Plus, Brenda shares her own experiences visiting Salem, including one location that left her feeling like someone was watching her.
So pour yourself a glass of wine and join us as we ask: Is Salem really haunted?

27 min - Ep. 65 | The Salem Witch Trials Part I, with guest Brenda from Horrifying History
Part 1 — The Salem Witch Trials
You may think you know the story of the Salem Witch Trials but much of what we remember today isn’t quite what happened.
This week, we’re joined by Brenda from Horrifying History to take us back to Salem in 1692 and unpack the fear, religion, politics and personal grudges that helped turn suspicion into hysteria. We talk about the first accusations, Tituba, the use of spectral evidence, the people who were imprisoned and executed, and Giles Corey’s brutal death by pressing.
How did an entire community reach the point where neighbors, friends and even family members were accusing one another of witchcraft? And what finally brought the trials to an end?
And make sure you come back for Part Two, when we leave 1692 behind and ask: Is Salem haunted today?

9 min - Ep. 63 | Remember Dolly & the Haunting Legacy of Classic Country Music
In the wake of Dolly Parton’s passing, we’re raising a glass to one of country music’s greatest storytellers and exploring the haunting spirit of classic country.
From the ghosts of the Ryman Auditorium and Loretta Lynn’s Hurricane Mills home to eerie songs like The Ride, Long Black Veil, and Dolly’s own These Old Bones, we’re looking at a genre where the dead have never really stayed gone.
Join us as we remember Dolly and celebrate the ghosts, stories, songs, and legends that continue to haunt country music in the best possible way.
Rest in peace to our beloved Dolly Parton. Thank you for everything you've given us.

27 min - Throwback | Homegrown Horror: The Starkweather Murders and our shocking family connection
This week, we’re reaching back into the Spirits Uncorked vault to revisit one of our favorite episodes: Homegrown Horror: the Starkweather murders.
In 1958, Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate became the center of one of the most infamous murder sprees in American history, leaving 11 people dead across Nebraska and Wyoming.
But this episode became much more personal than we expected. Our grandma joins us to share her memories of growing up in Nebraska during the Starkweather murders. AND, during the conversation, we uncover a surprisingly close connection between our own family and the case that neither of us ever knew about.
It’s true crime, family history, and one very unexpected discovery, which is why this remains one of our favorite episodes we’ve ever recorded.
Pour a glass and join us for a Spirits Uncorked throwback.

About Spirits Uncorked
From the publisher's feed
Spirits Uncorked is what happens when two sisters turn their group chat into a paranormal podcast and add wine. And Elizabeth & Erica want you to pour a glass and join in the conversations…
about strange history, haunted places, shadow people, or your own listener experiences. Along the way, they chat with authors, fellow podcasters, and other fascinating guests. It's spooky, funny, thoughtful, and occasionally unhinged.
