Huntsville’s historic Maple Hill Cemetery is not only one of the largest but also the oldest cemetery in the state. Founded on two acres back in 1822, it now includes over 80,000 burials covering almost 100 acres of land. Yet in spite of the fact that this graveyard is the final resting place for so many souls, there are relatively few hauntings of note; and those that have been recorded pale in comparison to the haunted reputation of this one location that is connected to the cemetery– a playground in the Maple Hill Park.

True crime

In September 1962, Mr. and Mrs. Daughtery, an elderly couple residing in Portsmouth, Virginia, along with their great-great-grandson Cleveland Harmon, found themselves at the center of inexplicable occurrences. Within their home, objects began moving on their own, and furniture inexplicably flew about, leaving no rational explanation for the chaos. As news of the bizarre happenings spread, curious onlookers and psychic investigators from far and wide converged on the Daughtery residence. The investigators quickly speculated that these were classic signs of poltergeist activity.

The Portsmouth Poltergeist | Minisode

At 1:20 pm on Saturday, July 19, 1970, a fire broke out in an abandoned home in Hadsboro, Mississippi, that was well known throughout the community as haunted. But what made the incident so unbelievable wasn't necessarily the claim of spirits there, but rather the fact a psychic had foretold of the Cahill House's fiery demise less than a year prior.

Introducing: Historical Blindness

On Tuesday, September 8, 1987, 77-year-old Minnie Clyde Winston stepped out of her bathtub onto the tile floor and felt something sticky under her foot. Holding a towel, she looked down and discovered she was standing in a small puddle of red liquid—a substance that would later be identified as human blood. But if that wasn't alarming enough, Minnie and her husband Willie soon found instances of blood spatter like this in almost every room of their house. As disturbing as this must have been, what made it worse is that the cause of this strange occurrence has never been proven, leading some to believe it might have been a manifestation of the supernatural.

Mystery of the Atlanta Blood House

“Blood Seeped Under the Door, Down the Steps, and into the Street…”
On the corner of Orleans Avenue and Dauphine Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans is a stately three-and-a-half-story mansion that is said to be the site of a massacre so significant that blood flowed from the building and into the street.
It is the tale of a mysterious Turkish gentleman, perhaps even the brother of a Sultan, who arrived in New Orleans, threw wild parties, and was then viciously murdered.
But is this story true or is it like the city of New Orleans— the product of an ever-changing cultural landscape that merges the past and the present; evolving and intersecting with other well-known legends like that of Pere Antoine’s Date Palm, or The Tree of the Dead.
