A Christmas day wedding at the Bramshill House ended in tragedy when the young bride of the evening went missing. Decades later, the discovery of her skeletal remains would shock her husband, and many believe that she now haunts this historic location with a host of other resident spirits...

Welcome back for part two, where we discuss the events around Edgar Allan Poe's burial and the conspiracy his cenotaph caused, as well as the hauntings surrounding his burial site and former residence. (And the possibility that some ghostly Poe sightings may just be used to drive business.)

Entering the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum allows you to take a glimpse back in time into the famous poets life. But as the brick facade, aged white walls, and portraits begin to settle, a creeping and unsettling air slowly fills the rooms. Edgar Allan Poe's short stories and poems are guaranteed to put a deep chill into your bones, so it is no wonder that visitors occasionally pick up on something eerie going on at his former residence. Something perhaps not of this realm. But before we get to the ghosts, we first need to take a look into the life of Edgar Allan Poe...

What started as a simple party game or parlor trick (and was advertised as a fun activity for couples) would turn into something dark and demonic after the success of The Exorcist. Let's take a look into the history of the Ouija board, and how attitudes have managed to shift so much over time...

"According to local legend, the unassuming William was actually a vampire who had been run out of England and fled to the states. You can supposedly see proof of this on his own mausoleum, which features strange markings, which pointed to the occult...and thus, his vampiric status."

The Richmond Vampire is famous among locals, and has been tied to a fateful train tunnel collapse from the early 1900s. Many believe that the digging of this tunnel awoke this evil creature...

Happy (almost) Halloween!

"Generation after generation of children in Abbeville, Alabama grew up hearing the frightening local legend of Huggin’ Molly. Legend states that lone children who wonder the streets at night might fall victim to her...those who were unlucky enough to witness her have described seeing a large phantom woman in the distance, illuminated only by a nearby flickering street lamp or the moons dull glow. She is upwards of 7 feet tall and wears all black, with her long dress dragging across the cold, wet ground..."
