    Ep. 33: The Disappearance of Michael Akey, Ridgeville Whale Bones, & Ghost Island

    June 24th, 1972. Fourteen-year-old Michael Steven Akey was near Burton, South Carolina when he got into a car. And then he disappeared. For nearly six years, there was no answer. No goodbye. No explanation. Then on a quiet stretch of Lady’s Island, human remains were discovered. Decades would pass. Technology would change. And eventually, science would put a name to those remains…Michael Akey. But identifying Michael was only the beginning because the person who drove away with him was never identified. Also, scientists uncovered the fossilized bones of a whale that lived here roughly 24 million years ago near Ridgeville. What was a whale doing in South Carolina? Plus, out on the dark waters of Lake Hartwell sits a tiny piece of land with a chilling history. A forgotten cemetery surrounded by water and a place locals have come to call Ghost Island. But are the stories of spirits here just legends or is something still lingering among those graves?

    Ep. 32: The White Dog, Headless Annie, and Mansworth County Ghost Bridge

    For nearly two centuries, travelers passing through the Sumter National Forest have shared terrified whispers of the Ghost Hound of Goshen. A faithful companion falsely wronged, only to be transformed into an unstoppable phantom that still lurks the historic Old Buncombe Road. It’s a chilling tale of loyalty, betrayal, and a vengeance that outlives the grave.  Plus, the story of Headless Annie that haunts the Old Nazareth Cemetery, and a chilling tale of one man's encounter with the spirit of Brad Stapleman on the Mansworth County Ghost Bridge.

    Ep. 31: The Blue Lady of Palmetto Dunes, Berkeley Haunts, and The Carolina Country Store

    At Palmetto Dunes, the nights are quiet, but not always empty. Locals speak of the Blue Lady, a glowing figure seen near lagoons and along shadowy bike trails, often accompanied by an eerie chill. No one knows exactly who she was, but those who’ve encountered her say it’s something they’ll never forget. In this episode, we explore the mystery behind one of South Carolina’s most chilling coastal legends, then head inland to Berkeley County, a region filled with haunted roads, lingering spirits, and stories tied to old plantations and churches. Plus, we'll read an eerie excerpt from Sherman Carmichael's Legends and Lore of South Carolina, featuring the haunted Carolina Country Store.  Blue Lady https://nypost.com/2024/10/30/lifestyle/blue-lady-ghost-famously-haunts-this-island-destination-on-stormy-nights/ Berkeley Haunts https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/2014/10/10/10-haunted-places-berkeley-county/ Legends and Lore of South Carolina by Sherman Carmichael https://a.co/d/0d2CyAOL

    Ep. 30: The Murder of Justin Turner & The Witch Queen of Clemson

    In the late 1980s, a brutal murder shook a quiet community. Justin Turner, a young man with his whole life ahead of him, was found dead under circumstances that still raise questions today. The mystery surrounding this tragic event spans over 30 years with many twists and turns along the way.  Plus, the Old Stone Church has a long history and is probably best known for its haunted graveyard. It’s the burial site for one of South Carolinas most infamous ghosts, Eliza Huger aka The Witch Queen of Clemson.

    Ep. 29: The Legend of the Goat Man, Onyx Lane, and UFOs Over Murrells Inlet

    We truly have it all regarding the unexplained here in South Carolina: the best ghost stories, haunted hotels, creepy cryptids, and so much more. One thing we can add to that list is…haunted roads. In this episode, we’re heading to Onyx Lane —a place shrouded in mystery and spine-tingling tales. Locals claim it was built atop an old graveyard, and strange happenings have been reported ever since. From eerie apparitions to unexplained phenomena, Onyx Lane has left many wondering if the past is truly buried. Plus, a married couple decides to cut all ties with society and move to a secluded island where they lived for 30 years. Also, I was given a book for Christmas about UFO sightings around South Carolina. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since reading it, it’s that there’s something very odd happening in Murrells Inlet.  Get your claws on some Spookshow merch here! http://tee.pub/lic/GJAhCGLYlhA The Most Terrifying Ghost Story To Ever Come Out Of South Carolina Is Truly Chilling https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/experiences/south-carolina/scariest-ghost-story-sc The Lingering Legend of Goat Island https://isleofpalmsmagazine.com/2015/history/the-legend-of-goat-island-near-isle-of-palms/#:~:text=The%20legend%20of%20the%20Goat,stresses%20of%20modern%20day%20society.

    Ep. 28: "Pee Wee" Gaskins Revisit, SC Cryptids, & The Ghost of Talvande Mansion

    Today, we’re taking another look at the sinister life of South Carolina’s most infamous killer, Donald “Pee Wee’” Gaskins. Known as “The Meanest Man in America,” Gaskins terrorized the Pee Dee with a spree of murders that left a haunting legacy. Today, we’ll explore his shocking crimes, the twisted mind behind them, and the impact his dark path had on his victims and the state of South Carolina.  Also, from swamp-dwelling beasts to spectral creatures of the night, South Carolina is packed with tales of cryptids that defy logic and ignite the imagination. And later, the headmistress of a strict boarding school made it her life’s work to keep her students in check. But after one rebellious girl eloped in the middle of the night, Madame Talvande made sure to give the school a prison-like feel in hopes that something like that wouldn’t happen again. They say her spirit haunted the halls long after her passing, eager to punish any girls who stepped out of line.  Get your claws on some Spookshow merch here! http://tee.pub/lic/GJAhCGLYlhA "Pee Wee" Gaskins https://allthatsinteresting.com/pee-wee-gaskins SC Cryptids https://hangar1publishing.com/blogs/cryptids/south-carolina-cryptids?srsltid=AfmBOooktVF2KTQWQ0igMgvdGLNkrf8MGwSsbEEeCnIEnvJHorZnFwHi Haunted South Carolina: Ghosts and Strange Phenomena of the Palmetto State by Alan Brown https://a.co/d/9kl6FrC
