- 236 - John Henry: Steel Driving Man
This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired on March 5, 2021. When the Civil War drew to a close, the United States’ railway networks, particularly those in the Southern states, were in shambles. During the Reconstruction era, the rehabilitation of the southern rails and expansion of transcontinental railroads became a major undertaking, and as the importance of the railroad rose. In the three decades after the Civil War over 170,000 miles of track were added to America’s railway system; it opened the western states for further settlement and reestablished the accessibility of the southern states. The accomplishment required a considerable workforce, and railway companies became a significant employers of thousands of men finally freed from enslavement. The work was dangerous, physically intensive, and time-consuming. It’s unknown exactly how many men lost their lives to injury or illness while expanding the nation’s railroad system during Reconstruction, but the legacy of these men lives on in one of the most enduring folk heroes in American history…the ballad of John Henry, the steel-driving man.

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 - 217 - The Surrency Family Poltergeist
In October 1872, a small Georgia community was bursting with visitors and curiosity seekers in an attempt to discover the truth behind mysterious happenings at the family home of Allen Powell Surrency. In what many consider to be one of the most documented ghost story in American history, the Surrency family home seemingly became the epicenter of a destructive entity. From the benign—doors slammed open and closed and objects floated above the ground, to the life threatening—a child thrown from bed and another beaten by unseen hands. Today, proponents of the paranormal say that the events in 1872 have the marks of poltergeist activity. The cause of such activity at the Surrency House remains a mystery.

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 - 214 - Legacy of the Battletown Witch
On Saturday, October 26th, Meade County, Kentucky, hosts its third annual Battletown Witch Festival, a family-friendly celebration inspired by one of the region’s most infamous local legends. This tale, passed down through generations of Battletown families, claims that a young woman buried in the old Elizabeth Daily Cemetery continues to haunt the hills and hollers after being unjustly killed for being a witch. Her name was Leah Smock, and while the lore may not be well-known outside of the state, this likely innocent woman has the dubious legacy of being the only witch to have been burned alive in the United States. Yet, the mystery of what truly happened to Leah Smock lingers to this day, as legend asserts that her spirit still roams the woods near her grave. As the folks from the Battletown Witch Festival say, “Even though she has a scary name, the true horror is what happened to her.” Make Plans to attend the Battletown Witch Festival today! When: Saturday, October 26, 2024 Where: YMCA Camp Piomingo in Otter Creek Park of Brandenburg, Kentucky Cost: Free! VIP tickets are available at BattletownWitch.com Connect with the festival on social media for updates and more! Topics Explored in this episode of Southern Gothic: History of Battletown, Kentucky: Battletown is a small rural community nestled in the rolling hills of Meade County on the Ohio River, located just 35 miles away as the crow flies. Historically it is an agricultural hub enriched by limestone deposits crucial for farming, Battletown evolved from an 18th-century hunting ground to a community known for its coopers– craftsmen who built barrels for the lime industry. Elizabeth Daily Cemetery: The place where Leah Smock is buried is currently on private property and off limits to legend trippers; however, for years this site has been believed to be haunted by the spirit of Leah Smock. Generations of Battletown residents have taken their kids to the cemetery to tell them stories of the Battletown Witch Life of Leah Smock: Born in 1818 to John Smock and Margaret Ann Scott, Leah was raised in a devout Christian household. Described as intelligent, beautiful, and deeply connected to nature, Leah spent her time in the woods, gathering herbs and showing an unusual bond with animals, which led to rumors. Her friendship with a Native American man, known as "Indian Joe," fueled further speculation, as some believed he shared mystical knowledge with her. By age twelve, Leah’s purported ability to predict the future and forecast events sparked fear in her community, eventually leading to accusations of witchcraft. Accusations of Witchcraft: Leah was blamed for a series of misfortunes in her community—from the deaths of babies and horses to crop failures—leading to widespread fear and accusations of witchcraft. Stories of her unsettling demeanor and mysterious powers grew, culminating in a tragic climax when the locals, driven by fear and suspicion, decided to burn her alive, believing she had cursed their livelihoods and brought evil upon their community. History of Witchcraft Hysteria: Historically, witchcraft has been met with severe punishment, often influenced by Heinrich Kramer's "Malleus Maleficarum," which ignited widespread witch hunts and executions across Europe. Leah Smock's fate, burned alive in 1840 without a trial, is an anomaly in the U.S., where such accusations more commonly led to hangings, as seen in the Salem witch trials. Leah’s Brutal Murder: On August 21, 1840 Leah Smock was killed at her home in Battletown, Kentucky. She was locked in a smokehouse and burned alive. The Paranormal Legacy: Almost immediately following Leah’s death, some began to claim that her apparition had appeared to them, and others that her spirit was making an impact on the community in a number of different ways, leaving a long legacy of ghost stories.

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 - 213 - The Thing in the White House
On July 26, 1911, Major Archibald Butt, the military aide to President William Howard Taft, wrote to his sister-in-law about something rather odd that had been happening inside the walls of the White House for months: “My dear Clara, It seems that the White House is haunted." The Major then continues on to describe some of the interesting and eerie claims made members of the White House staff, folks who claim to have come into contact with an entity that has since become known simply as "The Thing." This episode was done in collaboration with Howard Dorre of the chart-topping history podcast Plodding Through the Presidents.

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 - 212 - The Ghost of Alice Riley
According to local legend, visitors to Savannah’s Historic Wright Square have been known to encounter a young woman dressed in 18th-century style clothing. Some are said to have been approached and begged for their assistance in finding the woman’s lost son. Yet when folks begin to search the area, the girl disappears. Many believe this is the ghost of Alice Riley, the first woman executed in the colony of Georgia. Alice Riley arrived in the American Colonies in January of 1734 as an indentured servant who would work for about five to seven years to pay back her debt and earn her freedom. To pay back the cost of the voyage she would be sent to work for William Wise, a man of questionable character. It would be a tragic assignment that led to Wise dead and Alice Riley convicted of a murder that some believe she may not have actually committed. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

On the morning of January 31, 1921, Surfman C.P. Brady of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cape Hatteras Station No. 183 stood watch over the treacherous waters of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic." His early morning shift, had been uneventful until the mist began to lift around 6:30. What appeared before him was chilling: a massive, five-masted schooner, sails still raised, had run aground on the Outer Diamond Shoals. Its name was the Carroll A. Deering. But if this sight wasn't strange enough, when the Coast Guard finally made their way out to the shipwrecked vessel, it was discovered that the crew was nowhere to be found-- a maritime mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 - 209 - Spirits of Sloss Furnaces
Southern Gothic: Live in Nashville is happening on October 17, 2024... be sure to get your tickets now!! Built in 1881, Sloss Furnaces was the first of many blast furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama to manufacture pig iron. The furnaces aided in catalyzing an Industrial Revolution in the postwar south. It was in Alabama, that the iron industry took off, providing the rest of the country with the material necessary to build everything from country bridges to the first skyscrapers. But this lucrative new economy came at a high cost to the men who toiled to keep the furnace fed. A majority of furnaces workers were formerly enslaved men, willing to take any work away from the fields they were once forced to labor in. With extreme and hazardous working conditions at the best of times, it is no surprise that accidents resulting in injury or death occurred Today, many believe that echoes of the tragedy experienced by past workers still reverberate through the tunnels and catwalks of this icon of American industry.

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 - 204 - Trapped Underwater in the Nickajack Cave
Just west of Chattanooga, Tennessee is the Nickajack Cave, a historic natural wonder flooded in 1967 due to the construction of the Nickajam Dam.

Today the cave is a wildlife refuge for a colony of endangered bats, but back in 1992, after it was shut off to the public for this purpose, a man named David Gant dared enter anyway, becoming trapped in the dark, underwater cavern without any air to breathe.

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 - 202 - Robert Johnson's Deal With the Devil
In 1931, Robert Johnson walked into a juke joint in Banks, Mississippi with a guitar strapped to his back. Only a little less than a year before he mysteriously disappeared from the Delta after being teased for his lack of musicianship. But now Robert Johnson was back and he was ready to take the stage and show everyone in that juke what he could do, displaying a musical mastery that left everyone shocked. From that day on, the legend of Robert Johnson has become one of the most notorious pieces of lore in American music-- a myth that claims Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for an otherworldy ability to play the blues.

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 - 201 - The Old Carrollton Jail Hauntings
On Saturday, October 21, 1899 the New Orleans Times-Democrat ran an article under the headline: “Real Ghost Story. The Old Carrollton Jail Said to be Haunted.” Through the use of the exact words of police officers, the article chronicled eerie occurrences at the local jail. But while many of the police officers who served at the Carrollton Jail stated that they didn’t believe in ghosts, most agreed that the strange things happening there seemed to defy rational explanation; and over time, everyone stationed there had a tale to tell with reports as varied as disembodied footsteps and noises, to heavy furniture moving on its own, lights turning on and off, and objects moving without cause.

Since its grand opening on May 1, 1905, the Seelbach Hotel has stood as one of Louisville, Kentucky's most lavish and luxurious establishments. It has hosted an array of notable figures, from U.S. Presidents and legendary actors to notorious bootleggers and mobsters. As a result, the hotel is steeped in lore, with some claiming it was here that F. Scott Fitzgerald first encountered the inspiration for Jay Gatsby in the underground Rathskeller barroom, while others say Al Capone used the tunnels beneath the hotel to evade the law. Yet the most notorious resident of the Seelbach is the mysterious spirit of a lady in blue, an apparition as integral to its storied history as the men who helped build it.

Thirty years later, 20 people who Scarcella helped put behind bars have since walked free. In the media, he’s known as the disgraced, rogue cop who hoodwinked an entire system.

Curiously, only several days prior, Martin had made a deal with local physicians to sell his body to them for experimenting following the execution-- experimentation that looked an awful lot like something out Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

In 1891, miners in the Coal Creek Valley, the most lucrative mining region in the state of Tennessee, decided they were tired of being replaced by convict labor and were going to do something about it. So on the night of July 14th, 300 men, armed to the teeth, descended upon the stockade in Briceville where the convicts were housed, took control, and proceeded to send the prisoners back east to Knoxville on a train. It was not only a brazen display of defiance against the coal companies, but also the first act in what would become known as the Coal Creek Wars. Want to Listen to Southern Gothic Ad-Free?

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 - 188 - Mystery of the Atlanta Blood House
On Tuesday, September 8, 1987, 77-year-old Minnie Clyde Winston stepped out of her bathtub onto the tile floor and felt something sticky under her foot. Holding a towel, she looked down and discovered she was standing in a small puddle of red liquid—a substance that would later be identified as human blood. But if that wasn't alarming enough, Minnie and her husband Willie soon found instances of blood spatter like this in almost every room of their house. As disturbing as this must have been, what made it worse is that the cause of this strange occurrence has never been proven, leading some to believe it might have been a manifestation of the supernatural.

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 - 187 - Massacre at the Sultan's Palace
“Blood Seeped Under the Door, Down the Steps, and into the Street…” On the corner of Orleans Avenue and Dauphine Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans is a stately three-and-a-half-story mansion that is said to be the site of a massacre so significant that blood flowed from the building and into the street. It is the tale of a mysterious Turkish gentleman, perhaps even the brother of a Sultan, who arrived in New Orleans, threw wild parties, and was then viciously murdered. But is this story true or is it like the city of New Orleans— the product of an ever-changing cultural landscape that merges the past and the present; evolving and intersecting with other well-known legends like that of Pere Antoine’s Date Palm, or The Tree of the Dead.

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 - 180 - Shadows of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Constructed between 1858 and 1881, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was initially a symbol of progressive treatment for the mentally ill, based on the philosophy and designs of Thomas Story Kirkbride. With an emphasis on therapeutic sunlight, fresh air, and humane treatment, it promised a new dawn in psychiatric care; however, as decades passed, the asylum became a harrowing example of the system's failure. Overcrowding, poor living conditions, and the implementation of barbaric treatments, including lobotomies, marked its descent into a place of despair. This episode explores the stark contrast between the asylum's hopeful beginnings and its grim reality, culminating in its closure in 1994 and its enduring legacy as one of the most haunted places in the country. Key Highlights Dorothea Dix's reform movement and her crusade to improve mental health care.

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 - 176 - The Tragic Death of Julia Legare
The legend of Julia Legare has been passed down for generations, likely due to the fact that it brings into focus a far-reaching human anxiety, the fear of being buried alive. In 1852, while visiting her relatives at their home in Ediso Island, South Carolina, 22-year-old Julia Legare fell ill. Her diagnosis was not good, Julia had been struck with diphtheria and there was little that they could do for her. Eventually, Julia just slipped further away deep into a coma, and after many days and nights passed their worst fear was realized, Julia succumbed to her fate. After the doctor declared her deceased the family moved quickly to say their goodbyes and ready their beloved’s remains for burial. It is said that in the week following Julia’s burial, the faint sound of weeping and screaming could be heard emanating from the church cemetery, yet no one walked the grounds to see if they could find the source. The mausoleum, located at the historic Presbyterian Church of Edisto Island, was not re-opened for over a decade following Julia’s death, but when it was, a horrific. Julia’s remains were not where they had been left. It seems that Julia Legare had been buried alive. Help Southern Gothic grow by becoming a Patreon Supporter today!

For decades, visitors to Charleston, SC's Unitarian Church Cemetery have claimed to encounter the ghostly figure of a beautiful woman, who appears to wander the overgrown graveyard in mourning for a lost love. However, local legend weaves a unique narrative: this is not just an ordinary heartbroken soul; she is none other than the infamous Annabelle Lee, the very muse of Edgar Allan Poe's renowned poem, which was published just days after his passing. As the story goes, their fateful encounter took place during a lesser-known and mysterious chapter of the "The Fall of the House of Usher" author’s life, when he was a young man enlisted in the United States Army and stationed at Fort Moultrie, overlooking Charleston Harbor. Join us on this week’s episode of Southern Gothic as we explore the haunted history behind this unique graveyard and the tragic love story that purportedly inspired one of America’s greatest literary figures.

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 - 146 - Railroad Bill | Minisode
The ballad "Railroad Bill" dates back to the 19th century and has been performed and recorded by a number of artists over the years. The song is based on the exploits of Morris Slater, the real-life Railroad Bill-- a Black outlaw in the post-Reconstruction South who purportedly stole from the railroad and gave to the poor-- a "real-life" Robin Hood.

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 - 144 - Introducing: One Strange Thing
This week we introduce you to One Strange Thing, a podcast that brings you some of the oddest stories from America's regional newspaper archives. And these tales all have something in common: they are entirely true, and feature elements that can't be explained by logic alone. In this preview, they explore how a mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist. The rest is (haunted? possessed?) history, and it’s exactly as unsettling as you might guess. And then some. Hosted by Laurah Norton Researched by Bryan Worters and Maura Currie Written and Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Pre-order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Find One Strang Thing on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OSTPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestrangethingpod/ and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/One-Strange-Thing-114307627035607 Learn more about your ad choices.
