What In The...? Podcast

New Orleans. The Big Easy. Mardi Gras, Boubon Street, the French Quarter and so on. New Orleans is known for many things, but you can't throw a rock without hitting a ghost (if you could hit ghosts with rocks)!

Tonight in part one will talk about some of the cities many haunts and those who still haunt them from beyond the grave. Welcome to episode 119 of, "What In The...? Podcast!"

A man buried his father three days before. On the third night, a knock comes from his front door. As he opens his door, he is greeted by his deceased father who stands before his son demanding food.

He feeds the revenant, but refuses the next evening. The following day the man, too, is dead.

The people of the town begin to tell stories of dreams of the man's father visiting them, and each one claims to have lost a significant amount of blood. Does a vampire rule the night?

Tonight we discuss the history of real vampires.

You're looking for something to put on your living room wall over the fireplace mantel. You found a great painting on Ebay, a portrait of a little girl holding a bouquet of flowers and some letters tied together with string.

You managed to purchase the painting and mount it on the wall, but something is wrong. The little girl is pretty, but there is something about the eyes that seems off. Whenever you move they follow you.

You think little of it. It's probably just an artist's trick, like the eyes of the Mona Lisa. Days pass, but everytime you pass by the painting you can feel the little girls eyes on you.

A week goes by and you're in the verge of getting rid of the painting. It's really beginning to unnerve you and once you even thought you saw her move.

That's it. You can't take it any more. You go to the wall and reach for the painting, but stop...

The little girl isn't in the painting anymore. A child's voice wispers from behind you, "I have a letter for you..."
