    Listener Pour #7: Hangman's Tree

    What if the old tree you passed on a quiet country road had a much darker history than you realized? This week’s Listener Pour comes from Savannah, who takes us to South Carolina and the legend of the Hangman’s Tree, a centuries-old cypress said to have been used for executions during the Revolutionary War. From a condemned Loyalist who reportedly smiled and waved before his death to a man who was hanged… only to turn up alive later, this tree has collected some seriously strange stories over the years. And according to local legend, at least one of those who died there may still be hanging around. 👻 🍷 Pour a glass and join us for Listener Pour #7: The Hangman’s Tree.

Plus, Brenda shares her own experiences visiting Salem, including one location that left her feeling like someone was watching her.

    Ep. 59 | The Salem Witch Trials Part I, with guest Brenda from Horrifying History

    Part 1 — The Salem Witch Trials You may think you know the story of the Salem Witch Trials but much of what we remember today isn’t quite what happened. This week, we’re joined by Brenda from Horrifying History to take us back to Salem in 1692 and unpack the fear, religion, politics and personal grudges that helped turn suspicion into hysteria. We talk about the first accusations, Tituba, the use of spectral evidence, the people who were imprisoned and executed, and Giles Corey’s brutal death by pressing. How did an entire community reach the point where neighbors, friends and even family members were accusing one another of witchcraft? And what finally brought the trials to an end? And make sure you come back for Part Two, when we leave 1692 behind and ask: Is Salem haunted today? Check out Horrifying History wherever your listen to podcasts!

    Ep. 58 | Remember Dolly & the Haunting Legacy of Classic Country Music

    In the wake of Dolly Parton’s passing, we’re raising a glass to one of country music’s greatest storytellers and exploring the haunting spirit of classic country. From the ghosts of the Ryman Auditorium and Loretta Lynn’s Hurricane Mills home to eerie songs like The Ride, Long Black Veil, and Dolly’s own These Old Bones, we’re looking at a genre where the dead have never really stayed gone. Join us as we remember Dolly and celebrate the ghosts, stories, songs, and legends that continue to haunt country music in the best possible way. Rest in peace to our beloved Dolly Parton.

    Throwback | Homegrown Horror: The Starkweather Murders and our shocking family connection

    This week, we’re reaching back into the Spirits Uncorked vault to revisit one of our favorite episodes: Homegrown Horror: the Starkweather murders. In 1958, Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate became the center of one of the most infamous murder sprees in American history, leaving 11 people dead across Nebraska and Wyoming. But this episode became much more personal than we expected. Our grandma joins us to share her memories of growing up in Nebraska during the Starkweather murders. AND, during the conversation, we uncover a surprisingly close connection between our own family and the case that neither of us ever knew about. It’s true crime, family history, and one very unexpected discovery, which is why this remains one of our favorite episodes we’ve ever recorded. Pour a glass and join us for a Spirits Uncorked throwback.

    Ep. 57 | Til Death Didn't Us Part: Ghost Marriage

    This week, Elizabeth and Erica are joined by their third sister, Regina, for a deep dive into one of our strangest topics yet: people who marry ghosts and the dead. We start with the wild story of a woman who says she fell in love with, and eventually married, a Victorian soldier’s ghost. There were candlelight dates, a paranormal wedding, celebrity spirits on the guest list…and eventually, even a ghostly divorce. But marrying the dead isn’t always a paranormal love story. We also explore real traditions and legal practices surrounding posthumous marriage, including ghost marriages in China and the rare circumstances in which a person can legally marry a deceased partner in France. And because there are three sisters at the table this time, Regina joins the conversation with a psychological perspective on relationships with unseen partners—how grief, attachment, loneliness, identity, belief systems, and our own minds can shape experiences that feel completely real. Is it love after death? A cultural tradition? A coping mechanism? Something paranormal? Or maybe a little more complicated than any of those? Pour a glass and join all three sisters for ghosts, psychology, marriage, cultural traditions, questionable relationship choices, and the important question nobody asked us to answer: Can you marry a ghost?
