Hilton Head Island's Haunted Lighthouse | Encore Episode

Hidden among the pines of Hilton Head Island, the skeletal remains of the Leamington Lighthouse stand as a relic of the past—and a vessel for something far more haunting. Local legend tells of Caroline Fripp, a dutiful daughter who braved a deadly storm to save her father, the lighthouse keeper, only to lose her life in the process. But did she ever exist? And why do locals still see a woman in blue when storms roll in off the Atlantic? This is the tale of Hilton Head’s haunted lighthouse and the enduring ghost said to guard it.

The Spy Who Still Haunts Franklin w/ Alicia King Marshall | Interview

In the quiet town of Franklin, Tennessee, one woman’s loyalty to the Confederacy earned her a place in history—and perhaps something more permanent. Sally Carter was just a young woman when the Civil War arrived at her doorstep. Defiant and devoted, she made her allegiance known by raising the first Confederate flag over Franklin’s square, a bold act that would define her wartime role as a spy. But unlike many women who took on covert duties during the conflict, Sally was celebrated by her community—beloved enough to help erect the town’s Confederate monument and remembered as a heroine long after the war ended. Yet her story doesn’t end with peace. Today, the house where Sally once lived is said to echo with footsteps no one can explain. Guests report strange sounds, cold spots, and a presence that lingers long after the tour ends. Could it be that Sally Carter—so fiercely tied to Franklin in life—refused to leave in death? In this bonus interview, we speak with Alicia King Marshall of Franklin Walking Tours to explore the life, legend, and lingering spirit of one of Tennessee’s most enduring figures.

Taking Up Serpents for Salvation

The religious practice of snake handling sprung up from the isolated rural communities of Appalachia in the early twentieth century; spreading throughout the south by way of an eccentric, charismatic and often troubled group of devout pastors.

Fort Jefferson's Most Infamous

Construction of Fort Jefferson began in the early 19th century to address the growing need for America to protect its shores. The resulting massive coastal fortress is the largest masonry structure on American soil; however, its history as a defensive outpost is far overshadowed by its time spent as a prison, housing Union Army deserters and none other than the very men convicted for successfully conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln.

Ghosts of Williamsburg's Public Gaol

When construction began on the Williamsburg Gaol it was never intended to house those who were deemed as significantly dangerous, like murderers or pirates. Instead it was meant for largely non violent offenders, such as debtors, thieves, the mentally ill and enslaved people who were caught after fleeing their captors... but good intentions pale in comparison to reality, leaving many to believe that today the Williamsburg Public Gaol is one of the most haunted places in one of America's oldest communities.

The Restless Spirits of Rotherwood

On the west side of Kingsport, Tennessee is Rotherwood, an old antebellum mansion overlooking the spot where the two forks of the Holston river come together. Today this red brick structure is privately owned, but according to local lore, it is home to more than just the living. For the last half a century, stories have placed at least two spirits on the ground of Rotherwood Mansion. First is the beautiful “Lady in White,” Rowena Ross who is forever searching for her lost love who died before they had a chance to marry. Second is the notorious Joshua Phipps who is said to have delighted in the torture of his enslaved workforce and ultimately died a horrifying death. But what is the truth behind the legends of Rotherwood, we may never know. Additional Links from this Episode:Purchase the Feminine Macabre, Vol. 3.

The Reverend of Coosa County

In 1977, Reverend Willie Maxwell was shot dead in front of six hundred mourners at a funeral in Alexander City, Alabama. The man who pulled the trigger—Robert Burns—did it in plain sight. He didn’t run. He didn’t deny it. And when asked why, he simply said, “I had to do it.” But that moment was only the end of a far more disturbing story. For years, Reverend Maxwell had been surrounded by tragedy. His wife. His brother. His nephew. Even a teenage girl under his care. One by one, they died under strange circumstances—each followed by a suspicious insurance claim. And each time, the preacher walked free. Rumors spread that Maxwell was untouchable—not just legally, but spiritually. Some said he practiced voodoo, protected by rituals and dark forces that kept the law at bay. He was feared. Respected. And, in some corners, believed to be cursed. The story drew national attention, even bringing Harper Lee out of seclusion. The author of To Kill a Mockingbird spent years researching the case for a true crime book she called The Reverend. But the manuscript was never finished. In this episode, we explore the strange, winding story of Willie Maxwell—his rise, the trail of bodies, the whispers of black magic, and the explosive trial that followed his very public death. It’s a story with no easy answers. One that still haunts the South to this day.

The Lingering Echoes of Polly Barclay's Chains

The Fitzpatrick Hotel has been standing on the courthouse square of Washington, Georgia for more than a century now, its red-brick walls and Queen Anne trim casting long shadows over the town’s oldest streets. But around here, folks say it wasn’t just the fire that cleared the way for the hotel to be built—there are darker stories too. Stories about graves left behind. About spirits that never moved on. And one name you’ll hear more than any other is Polly Barclay. Back in 1806, Polly found herself at the center of one of Georgia’s earliest true crime stories—accused of plotting her husband’s murder and sentenced to die. She was beautiful, sharp, and by all accounts sure she’d never see the gallows. But fate had other plans, and her execution would go on to spark one of the region’s most enduring legends. Some say Polly never left. Some say she's still there, beneath the Fitzpatrick, rattling her chains on stormy nights when the wind kicks up just right. This week, we’re digging into the real story behind the legend—who Polly Barclay really was, what really happened that night outside Washington, and why her ghost might still be walking among us today.

Windover Pond's Prehistoric Skeletons

In 1982, a backhoe operator preparing sturdy land for a suburban development near Titusville, Florida discovered a skull in the murky waters of Windover Pond. The county coroner was called, and the human remains were deemed to be old, but the question was how old? The shocking series of events that followed this discovery led archaeologists to uncover one of the most important archaeological sites in the United States-- a prehistoric burial ground over 7,000 years old.
