The Santa Claus Special

Welcome to The Moonlit Road Podcast, broadcasting from the American South where strange folktales infuse the humid air, and ghost stories are as common as fireflies on a summer night. So light a lantern and pull up a chair—just don't forget to keep an eye on the shadows.

Since 1997, we've been your trusted guides on a storytelling journey along the South's mysterious backroads. The Moonlit Road Podcast unearths classic campfire tales, forgotten ghost stories, and odd legends, whispered across time from one generation to the next. Each episode features gifted storytellers, musicians, and folklorists sharing the most memorable stories from the bayous of Louisiana to the mountains of Appalachia.

If you crave the peculiar and otherworldly folklore of the American South, and the rich, eerie tapestry of the South's haunted past, then come on in and listen for a spell. We promise to keep a light on for you—just in case.

We explore:

• Classic ghost stories from historic plantations and forgotten battlefields.

• Folklore and critters like the Bell Witch, Boo Hag, and the Plat Eye.

• Voodoo legends and Hoodoo practices from New Orleans and beyond.

• Appalachian haints and mountain mysteries.

• Timeless tales of strange historical events and unexplained phenomena.
