Vampires in the Attic: The Old Ursuline Convent

"If you are one of those people who loves vampire lore, then today’s episode is perfect for you– it is the story of the Caskett Girls– an old New Orleans legend that claims the first Vampires to come to America did so right here in the Crescent City– And the place where they kept their coffins, well it’s open for tours." The Old Ursuline Convent sits at 1100 Chartres Street in the heart of New Orleans's French Quarter. It is the oldest surviving building in the Mississippi River Valley; and as such, it is a stunning example of the architecture of the French colonial period in the United States. Today the Convent is no longer home to the Ursuline Order of Sisters, but rather is a part of the Catholic Cultural Heritage Center, alongside the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, and is open for tours several days a week; however, according to New Orleans legend, it is also the home to one the city's most enduring pieces of local lore. A tale that claims the very first vampires to ever come to America once called the Ursuline Convent's attic home. Want to Listen to Haunted New Orleans & Southern Gothic Gothic Ad-Free?

The Unsolved Murder of Ethel Allen | Encore Episode

On Merritt Island, Florida, most visitors come for the Kennedy Space Center, where rockets have carried astronauts beyond the Earth. But tucked away on the south side of the island, down a crooked mile of oak trees draped in Spanish moss, sits a much older landmark—Georgiana Cemetery. It is one of the oldest graveyards in Brevard County, and among its weathered stones lies the grave of a young woman whose death remains one of Florida’s darkest mysteries. Her name was Ethel Allen. She was just nineteen when, in November of 1934, her body was discovered on the banks of the Indian River Lagoon. Brutally attacked, left nearly unrecognizable, and partially burned, her remains shocked the community. A ruby ring and a small tattoo were all the investigators had to identify her. And while suspicion quickly fell on a man calling himself William Wilson, the trail went cold when he fled town under another name. Decades later, the story of Ethel Allen is still unsettled. Some point to the man later unmasked as Willard Borton, a career criminal who lived by theft and died in prison. Others whisper that jealousy or betrayal may have driven someone closer to her to kill. No one was ever brought to justice, and her murder has never been solved. But in Brevard County, her memory lingers. Visitors to Georgiana Cemetery and to Ashley’s Restaurant, one of the last places she was seen alive, report unexplainable voices, phantom touches, and the apparition of a young woman in out-of-time clothing. Nearly a century after her death, locals say Ethel Allen still wanders, looking for answers the world has yet to give her.

The Mysterious Disappearance of David Lang

In the fall of 1880, a Tennessee farmer named David Lang was said to have vanished in broad daylight, in the middle of his own pasture, with his wife, children, and two visiting men watching from only yards away. No trees. No brush. No place to hide. One moment he was standing there, waving, and the next he was simply gone. The story has become one of the most infamous disappearances in American folklore, tied to phantom voices calling from the field, a strange circle where grass refused to grow, and a family left behind with no explanation and no body. Over the years, the disappearance of David Lang has been retold in newspapers, paranormal magazines, and books on unexplained phenomena, securing its place among America’s most unsettling unsolved mysteries. The legend has been linked to nineteenth-century Tennessee, early investigations into the supernatural, and even the work of American gothic writer Ambrose Bierce, whose fiction explored eerily similar themes of sudden erasure and fractured reality. Whether rooted in history, folklore, or something far stranger, the story endures because it asks an impossible question: how can a man vanish in the open air, in front of witnesses, and leave nothing behind?

Legend of the Moon-Eyed People

Atop Fort Mountain, in the northwestern corner of Georgia, is an 885-foot-long rock wall that zigzags its way through the curves of the mountain. Though the ruins were constructed with stone from the surrounding region, the story behind it, when it was built, and by whom, remains a mystery. Theories arose to explain the structure’s origin, today most agree it was likely completed by Native people who lived in the area. But who were they? Legend says that a unique, ancient race of people once inhabited the highlands of lower Appalachia– a group known simply as the Moon-Eyed People. Often, described as light-skinned, with blonde hair and blue eyes; they were uniquely handicapped by their inability to see during the day The legend exists most prominently from the oral tradition of the Cherokee people, who purportedly encountered the ancient race upon their arrival to the region; however, the mystery as to who they were and where they went is far more complex.
