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 Tragic Fire at the Winecoff Hotel | Encore Episode

In December of 1946, Atlanta woke to a nightmare unfolding in the heart of downtown. The Winecoff Hotel—once celebrated as a modern marvel and boldly advertised as “absolutely fireproof”—was swallowed by flames before sunrise, trapping hundreds of guests inside a building that was never supposed to burn. By morning, it would become the deadliest hotel fire in American history. For decades the Winecoff stood as one of the city’s premier destinations, a towering landmark on Peachtree Street with elegant interiors, high-rise views, and a reputation for safety that bordered on myth. But behind the glamour was a hidden truth: narrow corridors, combustible finishes, a single open staircase, and no exterior fire escapes. When the fire finally came, the entire structure became a vertical chimney. The horror that followed spread across the country—people at windows with no way out, firefighters struggling to reach them, and a tragedy so severe it caught the attention of President Harry Truman himself. In the months that followed, the Winecoff fire would help drive a nationwide overhaul of building codes and modern fire safety standards. Yet for all the reports, investigations, and reforms that came after, the question at the heart of this disaster still lingers: how did a hotel said to be “fireproof” ignite so fast, and what truly sparked the blaze that changed American fire safety forever? This is the story of a luxury hotel built on confidence, undone by a predawn spark—and the legacy of a tragedy that reshaped the country.

Investigating The Knight House | Live Event Announcement

Reserve your spot on the Knight House overnight ghost hunt today! Built in 1815, the Knight House is the oldest standing structure in Christian County, Kentucky—and after more than two centuries of history, it has more than a few stories to tell. From its ties to early Kentucky power brokers and whispers of the Underground Railroad to tales of shadow figures, piano keys echoing in empty rooms, and the squawk of a phantom parrot, this grand old home in Hopkinsville has seen it all. In this special episode, we sit down with Eric Freeman-Sims, the current owner and steward of the Knight House, to talk about its storied past, strange hauntings, and the massive restoration effort underway to preserve this overlooked gem.

The Baynard Mausoleum of Hilton Head Island

This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired March 26, 2023. The Baynard Mausoleum is the oldest surviving structure on Hilton Head Island, but eerily, the family once interred inside are no longer there. Now, after a century of vandalism and treasure hunters has taken its toll, we attempt to explore the local lore that has sprung up to give this unique tomb a romantic origin story.

Mystery of the Confederate Submarine H.L. Hunley | Encore Episode

This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired February 22, 2022. On the night of February 17, 1864, an immense explosion took down the USS Housatonic, a massive warship that was part of the Federal forces’ twenty vessel blockade of the Charleston harbor. Yet the destruction came seemingly out of nowhere, as eyewitnesses in the crew claimed their only warning was the sight of a dark cigar shaped vessel headed straight towards them. What they soon found out was that this sloop-of-war was the victim of the first successful submarine attack in modern warfare. Unfortunately for the crew of the H.L. Hunley, who carried out this historic mission, the Confederate submarine did not make it back to shore, giving way to a century old mystery– what happened to the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley and why did it go down in the fight? Want to Listen to Southern Gothic Ad-Free?

The Tragic End of the Steamboat Sultana | Encore Episode

On April 27, 1865, just weeks after the Civil War ended and the country reeled from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, a deadly explosion on the Mississippi River became the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history—and most Americans have never heard of it. The Sultana, a Civil War-era steamboat built to carry a few hundred passengers, was pushed far beyond its limits with more than 2,100 souls crammed aboard—mostly Union soldiers who had survived Confederate prison camps like Andersonville and Cahaba. But just north of Memphis, Tennessee, the Sultana’s patched boiler exploded in the dead of night, setting off a catastrophic chain of events that would leave over a thousand men dead, their bodies scattered across the dark Mississippi waters. In this episode, we tell the chilling, little-known story of greed, corruption, and human tragedy that led to this horrific event. You’ll hear firsthand survivor accounts, the murky decisions that caused the explosion, and how the legacy of the Sultana has been buried—both by history and by the river itself.

Spirits of the St. Louis Cathedral: Jackson Square's Haunted History

"If you have ever been down to Jackson Square and wondered if New Orleans’ iconic cathedral was haunted, well today, you are gonna find out." The image of the St. Louis Cathedral protruding up into the sky from behind Jackson Square has become one of New Orleans's most iconic images. The site, which sits in the heart of the French Quarter, was once the center of government for the Crescent City, but today it is filled with tourists on their way to grab beignets, get the cards read or take a carriage ride through the city. Of course, the square wasn't always this bustling with energy and, as a result, some claim the famed cathedral is haunted by the spirits of clergy who once walked these streets.

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?
