Mystery of the Gurdon Light

Travel about 85 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas along Interstate 30 and you come to the town of Gurdon. In a remote area, several miles outside Gurdon sit railroad tracks for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. It is along a four-mile stretch of track that sightings of a floating, glowing orb have been reported for the last ninety years, now known as the Gurdon Light. While there are of course scientific theories that attempt to explain the origin of the Gurdon Light, many instead believe the phenomenon is linked to a single event in history, the murder of a railroad foreman in 1931. Perhaps not everything seen along the railroad tracks is scientifically explainable, and if not, how long has the area been that way? Is the light something that only dates to the 1930s, or is it something that has been there much longer? Perhaps the Gurdon Light has always been there, it just took people to give it a name… Additional Links from this Episode:Purchase the Feminine Macabre, Vol. 3.

Legend of Waller Mine | Campfire Tales

Tucked deep in the red clay hills of Goochland County, Virginia, the Waller Mine once promised fortune to any man willing to dig for it. But like most gold rush tales, what glittered on the surface hid something much darker below. Locals still talk about the screams that once echoed from the abandoned house near the old mine — sounds of moaning, pleading, and a man calling out for help when no one was there to answer. Some said it was the wind. Others knew better because years after the mine shut down, one of its workers confessed to a secret buried deeper than gold — a murder born of greed, and a conscience that never let him rest.

The Surrency Family Poltergeist

Enter our April T-shirt Giveaway by signing up for our newsletter at SouthernGothicMedia.com In October 1872, a small Georgia community was bursting with visitors and curiosity seekers in an attempt to discover the truth behind mysterious happenings at the family home of Allen Powell Surrency. In what many consider to be one of the most documented ghost story in American history, the Surrency family home seemingly became the epicenter of a destructive entity. From the benign—doors slammed open and closed and objects floated above the ground, to the life threatening—a child thrown from bed and another beaten by unseen hands. Today, proponents of the paranormal say that the events in 1872 have the marks of poltergeist activity. The cause of such activity at the Surrency House remains a mystery.

The Devil's Mansion

According to legend, sometime back around the 1820’s, the Devil decided to make the Crescent City his home and so for years folks claimed that if you stopped in front of the mansion at 1319 St. Charles Avenue around sunset and looked up at the top of the front gable, the Prince of Darkness would be standing there, “grinning and twisting his evil lips, his eyes keen as needles and his sharp little horns quite visible.” Today the Devil's Mansion is no longer there, but its reputation has certainly not faded.

Jacques St. Germain: Vampire of the Vieux Carré | Encore Episode

In the shadows of the French Quarter, where history and legend often blur, one of New Orleans' most enduring mysteries still lingers behind bright red doors on Royal Street. It begins in 1728, with the arrival of pale, fragile young women sent by the French crown to populate the colony—women who came with heavy wooden trunks and left behind whispers of vampirism. Known in local lore as the Casket Girls, their legacy set the stage for the city’s enduring obsession with the undead. But nearly two centuries later, a new figure stepped into the city’s night: Jacque St. Germain, a wealthy, elegant man with a love for lavish parties and a peculiar habit—he never touched the food. When a woman leapt from his balcony in terror, claiming he tried to drink her blood, the legend took root. In this episode, we explore the haunting tale of Jacque St. Germain, the mysterious aristocrat believed by some to be a vampire—and by others to be the immortal Comte St. Germain, a real-life 18th-century alchemist rumored to have conquered death itself. From the lore of the Ursuline Convent to the bricked-up windows of 1041 Royal Street, join us as we unravel the chilling origins of New Orleans’ vampire mythology—and ask: what truth might lie behind the legends?
