    27 - The Flintville Monster & Decoding Gravestone Symbols

With eerie encounters and unexplained sightings, could there be truth to the tales? Tune in as we uncover the mystery behind this Southern cryptid. In the second half of the episode, we discuss how gravestones are more than just markers—they’re messages from the past. We explore the hidden meanings behind common cemetery symbols, from weeping willows and clasped hands to skulls and hourglasses. What do these carvings reveal about the beliefs, fears, and hopes of those who came before us? Join us as we unravel the language of the dead.

    26 - Savannah’s Most Haunted Cemetery & Ghosts of Balsam Mountain Inn

    Join us as Blake takes us to Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. Beneath moss-draped oaks, this cemetery harbors eerie whispers of the past. Once a plantation, it’s now home to ghostly figures, chilling voices, and a statue said to weep. Josh closes out the episode with a story set high in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina at the Balsam Mountain Inn. This small hotel blends rustic charm with a chilling past. Once a grand railroad hotel, its creaking halls now echo with ghostly whispers, shadowy figures, and objects that move on their own. Is it the spirits of long-gone travelers… or something even more mysterious? Spend a night and find out—if you dare.

    24 - Alabama Ghost Town

    In this episode, Blakes takes us on a trip to Cahaba, Alabama. A once thriving town and the first state capital of Alabama. Today, however, it is largely a ghost town, with ruins that hint at a forgotten past—an eerie place where the remnants of history seem to whisper of its former grandeur. Beneath its quiet surface, Cahaba is said to be haunted by the spirits of those who once lived and died there, leaving behind a lingering, spectral presence that still haunts the land.

    23 - UFO in the Everglades & John Ringling and the Ca' d'Zan

    By pure coincidence, it's Florida week at Southern Hauntspitality! Josh kicks us off with the tale of a bizarre UFO encounter that occurred in the Florida Everglades in 1952. The encounter was prominent enough that it would later be investigated by the US Air Force’s Project Blue Book, a program tasked with investigating UFO’s. Blake closes out the episode with a discussion of the legendary John Ringling of the "Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus," and the haunted history of his immaculate home in Sarasota, Florida.

    Join us for our Christmas Special episode for two not so merry Christmas legends.

    21 - Tennessee Wildman & Bacon's Castle

    Josh kicks off this episode with the legend of the Tennessee Wildman. Some think it's a smaller and meaner cousin of Sasquatch. Others think it's merely a person in Appalachia who decided to live off the grid, and I mean really off the grid, like caveman style. Listen and let us know what you think the Tennessee Wildman is. Blake's story takes us to the oldest brick home in America, Bacon's Castle, where we get a history lesson along with a spooky ghost story of course.
