Episode 16: "The Devil Goes to the Movies"

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:42 +0000

American pop culture in the 1920s and 1930s was on the verge of a new sort of entertainment. Cultural shifts and breakthroughs in technology had led to a steady stream of new kinds of books, comics, music, and magazines, but it would be film that transformed popular culture forever. The ghostly images watched with strangers in the dark proved to be powerful enough to incite as well as to entertain.

Soon after films gained popularity, Americans began to use them to frame their history and their identity, as well as to literally project their fears and anxieties.

And among those fears were the fears of the Devil.

When the Devil first began to appear in early American movies, his story was part of a heavily Christianized moral lesson. The same couldn’t be said for Europe – where filmmakers were using satanic lore to create fantastic and uncanny imagery, but American films were much tamer and much more puritanical. They steered mostly clear of explicitly supernatural subjects and used theaters as fire and brimstone pulpits instead.

At first anyway… because as the imagery onscreen eventually began to reflect satanic themes, audiences responded and darker days for the cinema were soon on the way.

Gangs of Chicago

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:00:16 +0000

John Torrio was finally exactly where he wanted to be.

With his uncle, Big Jim Colosimo out of the way, his business expanding across the South Side of the city and into the suburbs, and his trustworthy young right-hand man, Al Capone, at his side, he was ready to start dividing up the Chicago into territories. With all the various gangs that already existed in the city eager to jump into the liquor business, Torrio knew that it would be impossible to keep the peace without a plan...

American Dread: Three Minutes Underwater, the Lisa Cutler Story

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:00:25 +0000

A mother. A bathtub. A death ruled suspicious.

In 2012, Lisa Cutler was found drowned in her Mount Zion, Illinois home while her children slept upstairs.

At first, it looked like an accident.

But more than 20 bruises… a failing marriage… and over a million dollars in life insurance told a different story.

Was it a tragic fall— or something far more deliberate?

Eulogy For Big Jim Colosimo

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 08:00:22 +0000

John Torrio was ready when the new Prohibition law went into effect, but he seemed to be the only one. He was waiting impatiently for everyone else to catch up. He’d been predicting Prohibition to his friends and business associates for months and knew it would be how organized crime could amass untold amounts of wealth. To take something that had always been legal, and make it illegal, especially a vice like alcohol, and then expect Americans to adhere to the letter of the law was incredibly naïve. Torrio knew that by taking advantage of Prohibition, it was a way for people like himself to become millionaires.

Episode 15: "The King of America"

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:00:47 +0000

The strange and sometimes sinister world of America’s homegrown religions, faith movements, and cults is filled with bizarre characters. There are many that most listeners have undoubtedly heard of, but what about the cult leader who actually became a king?

In 1847, the only man ever crowned king within the continental United States began his rule from a secluded island in Lake Michigan. James Jesse Strang was a religious leader, politician, attorney, teacher, writer, and newspaper editor, who attracted more than 2,500 followers to a place that he ruled with an iron hand.

After being ejected from the Mormon Church, he created his own sect, for which he served as prophet, seer, and revelator and built an organization that he hoped would rival the church of Brigham Young in Utah.

But his strange adventures as a church leader and king would eventually lead to his assassination and the fall of the only kingdom that’s ever existed within the United States.

American Dread: The Girl Who Never Reached the Door

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 08:00:28 +0000

She was only a few feet from safety.

On a freezing December night in 1975, Carol Ann Rofstad never made it inside her sorority house. Instead, she was found beaten and dying beside the building the next morning.

Her murder shocked the Illinois State University campus — and may have been connected to a series of disturbing attacks on college women.

Nearly half a century later, the case remains unsolved.

This is The Girl Who Never Reached the Door.

Episode 14: "The Holy Rollers' Sex Cult"

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 08:00:26 +0000

The date when a shaft of divine light came down from the heavens and transformed Franz Edmund Creffield from an obscure, backwater evangelist into Prophet Joshua the Second remains a mystery. We also don’t know the exact spot where the spiritual ordination occurred but – we do know that it occurred in 1903 in Corvallis, Oregon.

History has shown us that trouble tends to follow in the wake of modern-day prophets and if the prophet come with an Old Testament beard and a desperate need to chase after the skirts of young women, then the trouble is sure to be multiplied and, of course, lurid and salacious, too.

This particular backwoods prophet had both the beard and the taste for women, but it was said that he also had tremendous power. In fact, when he raised his voice in holy anger, as he did on one memorable occasion, the city of San Francisco shook horribly, then fell, trembling and smoking into ruin, becoming one of the greatest disasters America has ever known.

Torrio

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 09:00:51 +0000

John Torrio was 31 years old when he first came to Chicago to free his uncle by marriage – Big Jim Colosimo – from threats by Black Hand gangsters. But Torrio’s service went beyond that. He was soon reorganizing and expanding Big Jim’s vice rackets and while they continued to thrive for a short time, trouble was on the way.

On the other side of the city's powerful people, William Thompson ran for mayor with the wide-openness of a champion athlete on the side of truth, justice, and the American way. He actually vowed in this first campaign that "I am going to clean up Chicago," but by this third campaign, his picture was hanging in Al Capone's office, and the gangster was donating as much as $250,000 for Thompson's re-election...

Episode 13: "The Demon in the Belfry"

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:00:06 +0000

On Easter Sunday, April 13, 1895, parishioners at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco were shocked when a closet was opened that contained the mutilated body of a young woman. Police detectives who were summoned to the church expected the corpse to belong to a 20-year-old woman named Blanche Lamont, a member of the church’s congregation who had gone missing 10 days earlier.

But it wasn’t her. Instead, the dead woman was 21-year-old Minnie Williams, who was also a member of the church.

And that wasn’t all the two young women had in common. Both had last been seen with the church’s handsome and well-liked Sunday School Superintendent, a man named Theo Durrant – who soon earned a nickname from the press. They called him “The Demon in the Belfry,” because it was almost impossible for anyone to believe that the brutal murders could be the work of an ordinary man.

He had to be one of the Devil’s minions, escaped from the fiery pits of Hell.

American Dread: The Hatchet House

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 09:03:43 +0000

How well do you really know your neighbor?

In Decatur, Illinois, 1964, evil didn’t break in—it lived inside the house. On a cold February night, a family argument ended with a hatchet, a triple killing, and a manhunt that stretched from Illinois to Florida.

This is The Hatchet House—a story of blood, silence, and a terrifying truth: sometimes the monster isn’t out there…

…it’s already home.

James "Big Jim" Colosimo

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 09:00:19 +0000

James “Big Jim” Colosimo ruled the Chicago underworld longer than any man in the city's history. The money he raked in from the many enterprises that he controlled was conservatively estimated at $50,000 a month for about eight years. Colosimo was a strange character and a man who helped usher in Chicago's organized crime era – although he’d never actually live to see it.

Episode 12: "Signs, Wonders, and the Satanic Century"

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 08:00:20 +0000

In 1908, a Pentecostal minister announced to his followers that the Devil was alive and well and interfered with every aspect of human life. And he wasn’t alone in this belief. Others described demons as swarming around the human soul and living off them “like ticks on cattle.”

The Pentecostal belief about the Devil interfering with our everyday lives was just one example of how the twentieth century became the “Satanic Century” for both American religion and popular culture. More than at any other time since the seventeenth century, American religion became obsessed with the Devil and all his works. The was largely due to the rise of two powerful religious movements at the time – Pentecostalism and Fundamentalism. Each gave the Devil a special role in both their view of the world and their personal spiritual experience.

But they were not the only ones – Roman Catholicism remained convinced of how the Devil’s influence continued to represent a threat to the lives and souls of its followers. In fact, it was during this same time that the Catholic Church revealed the horrors of a demonic possession that would shock the nation.

The exorcism that followed would become known as one of the first to make national news in modern American history.

No Safe Hour: Between Daylight and Darkness

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 09:00:16 +0000

In the early 1980s, Springfield, Illinois learned there was no safe hour.

On this episode of American Dread, we examine two unconnected crimes that unfolded just one year apart — one in broad daylight, the other in the dead of night — and how both shattered a city’s sense of safety.

In 1981, an axe attack inside Lauterbach Cottage Hardware left one man dead and a killer who vanished without a trace.

In 1982, a brutal double murder inside a family home was solved — but its consequences would resurface decades later in a devastating way.

These cases aren’t linked by suspects or motive.

They’re linked by place, time, and a chilling truth: violence doesn’t wait for darkness.

Episode 11: "The Demon From the Bottomless Pit"

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 08:00:44 +0000

Nineteenth century America was awash with diabolical imagery. It was everywhere. It was used to link the Devil to everything from immigrants to abortion, the Catholic Church, Native Americans, and even outspoken women, so it can’t be a surprise to learn that it was also used to describe some of the most bloodthirsty killers of the day.

For anyone who might think that deviant sex murderers and serial killers are monsters of modern times, then let me introduce you to the Joseph Lapage, one of the most depraved killers that you’ve likely never heard of.

Lapage was a sexual psychopath and fit the modern definition of the classic lust killer, but his contemporaries described him in less clinical terms. They called him a “fiend incarnate” and more commonly, a “demon of the bottomless pit.”

For the people of the era, it was nearly impossible to believe that a human being could be capable of the things that Lapage did. Such acts, they insisted, could only be carried out by a servant of the Devil -- a monster that could have come only from hell.

And perhaps they were right.

Capone

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 09:00:56 +0000

Young Brooklyn thug Al Capone took a cab to Coney Island. As he traveled down Ocean Parkway, he wasn’t surprised to see people practically living on the sidewalks, trying to get a breath of fresh air. He sat in the back seat, enjoying the light breeze from the open windows, on his way to the Harvard Inn, a club that belonged to Capone’s employer, gangster Frankie Yale. It wasn’t much of a job – just a glorified bouncer – but he saw it as a way to work himself up to someday making dough for himself. “SCARFACE” they called him, but they never used the moniker in front of him. No matter who you were, if Capone heard it, there was a good chance that you’d end up dead.

Episode 10: "The Devil Will Pay"

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 08:00:43 +0000

When the headless body of a pregnant young woman was found across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in 1896, the shock of the discovery was felt far beyond the region. As the story of the young woman was revealed, it became a crime that was tailor-made for the popular culture of the era. The horror of the crime, its characters, and its cause created a melodrama that could only be found in pulp novels -– a villain deflowers a pretty young girl and then murders her to cover up her unplanned pregnancy so that he can continue to live a life of debauchery.

Such a tragedy understandably resonated with the public, prompting stories, legends, and even a folk ballad. You see, this tale became a warning to young women of the era to practice chastity and to avoid the mortal sin of abortion, a crime so heinous, religious figures claimed, that the Devil himself had a hand in in its continued existence.

Episode 9: "The Devil Baby"

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:00:16 +0000

The nineteenth century marked a great change in American history – it was the age of the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, and a time when science and reason were supposed to erase the myths and fears of the past. And yet, the Devil still managed to rear his ugly head, continuing to serve as a symbol of all the things that Americans hated and feared the most.

Social reformers used the Devil to discourage the evils of alcohol and Protestants and Nativists used the Devil as a warning about the evils of foreigners and Catholics. Those immigrants used the Devil for their own devices, creating cautionary tales of the supernatural – like the Devil Baby that shocked Chicago in 1913, creating a mythology that still exists today.

Episode 8: "Down at the Crossroads"

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 08:00:06 +0000

America’s first settlers were afraid of a lot of things and when they were afraid of something they reflexively connected it to the Devil – whether it was places like forests and woods or people, like the Native Americans who had predated their arrival on these shores by hundreds of years. In other words, whatever they didn’t understand, they feared, and whatever they feared, it must be the work of the Devil.

But it wasn’t just the indigenous people they feared and disliked – it was also the Africans. Small groups of them began arriving in the British colonies as early as 1619. They weren’t immigrants, though. They had been kidnapped from their homeland and transported to America against their will. Their numbers grew at a gradual pace throughout the seventeenth century, before increasing dramatically in the century that followed. Nearly every African in America at that time was held in bondage by white settlers, who, while perhaps not terrified by the slaves themselves, were terrified by their persistence in upholding the traditions and beliefs they brought to the country with them.

At home, magical practices had been central to the supernatural beliefs of the slaves. When they were brought to American in chains, their beliefs may have changed somewhat but they still included a legion of spirits who influenced their daily lives. And not all those spirits were benevolent ones – especially toward the white slave owners.

Episode 7: "In the Pines"

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 08:00:20 +0000

The Puritans and the early colonists found more monsters in America than just witches. The Devil had birthed a variety of what were often called “monstrous births” and they became signs and omens for the believers in an angry god. Spectral, shape-shifting dogs, along with demonic, giant black bears, haunted the woods around the settlements. They believed they were surrounded by evil spirits in the sea, the rivers, lakes, forests, and swamps around them.

But the Puritans were not the only ones finding monsters on the American frontier. Sea serpents swam in our waters and strange beasts populated the wilderness that loomed over most new American settlements. But the response to the beasts the settlers met were not always the same and didn’t always share the Puritan desire to destroy all monsters or cleanse the American landscape – no matter how devilish the monsters might be.

Instead, they turned them into legends.

Episode 6: "A Very Scary Christmas"

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 08:00:42 +0000

A special “Very Scary Christmas” Episode!

Traditional Christmas celebrations in colonial American were much different than they are today. It was a public celebration in the streets and the pubs. Few people celebrated in church and even fewer celebrated with family at home.

And for good reason. The winter nights were cold and dark. It was a time of snow, ice, and being trapped indoors with that family. The coming days – and weeks – were going to be spent around the fire, waiting for better weather to return. That fire, along with candles and oil lamps, were the only way to stay warm – and to keep away the shadows that were creeping outside your door.

This made it the perfect time for stories and storytelling, especially stories of ghosts, hauntings, spectral travelers, and the night folk. In those days, the cold winter months were considered the spookiest time of the year. It was a dark season that began with Halloween and lasted until the spring thaw. In centuries past, the holiday season was not just a time of celebration – it was a time to be afraid.

Episode 5: "Fire and Brimstone"

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 09:00:13 +0000

The Devil didn’t confine his shenanigans to Salem Village or even the Massachusetts Bay colony in the 1600s. A penchant for hanging and persecuting those believed to be in league with him swept through the colonies in those days, leading to many tragedies and deaths. But the madness the Puritans introduced in that period drained America of its lust for religions mania and fanaticism for many years to come.

The hardship, brutality, and war that followed over the next century and a half sent the broken and the disillusioned in search of enlightenment. In the 1820s and 1830s religious excitement began to sweep the country, and soon new churches, sects, and cults began to emerge. This new age would be dubbed “The Great Awakening” and while none of these new groups would compare with the strictness of the Puritans, a devout belief in the works of the Devil remained.

As did an unhinged belief in doomsday, the Antichrist, and the end of the world.

Episode 4: "Where the Devil Hides"

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:00:19 +0000

The terrible incident at Salem was not the last American witch hunt. It was also not the end of Puritan oppression in the region. They would leave a last impact on both New England and American history.

And no aspect of the Puritan experience remains as vivid in American memory as their fear of monsters, specifically the fear of witches that led to the trials of hundreds of settlers during the 1600s. For most of us today, the witch trials seem to be a brief flirtation with an irrational past.

But there was nothing irrational about Salem to the Puritans. They hunted monsters for a generation before Salem, believing that strange creatures lurked in the “howling wilderness.” They imagined their religious experience as a war with monstrous beings birthed by the Devil. It was a struggle with the forces of darkness that turned the New World into a place teeming with such monsters in the minds of the Puritans.

Frailty

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 09:00:10 +0000

In the past on this podcast, we have often asked the question of whether a monster is born or are they made? This might be the episode that finally answers that question. The story that follows suggests that monsters are NOT born; they’re made – often by the very people who should protect them.

Episode 3: "The Devil in Salem Village...And Beyond."

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 08:00:23 +0000

The fires of the witchcraft allegations burned through the towns and villages of New England during the 1600s, leading to accusations, trials, and even hangings. Many communities regretted the belief that the Devil was at work in their own until it was too late and near the end of the century, the fires that had burned so hot began to cool.

But not before the events at Salem Village occurred in 1692, spawning the most infamous witchcraft panic in American history. The town was a hotbed of gossip, hostility, and family squabbles and when religious fanaticism was added to the mix, accusations of the Devil’s work soon followed.

But not just in Salem. Most don’t realize that another witchcraft panic was occurring at the same time, a short distance away, and that Salem’s so-called “Afflicted Girls” had a starring role in that terror, too.

American Dread: The Murder of Amy Schulz

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 12:30:24 +0000

In 1987, ten-year-old Amy Rachel Schulz vanished from the quiet town of Kell, Illinois. By morning, her body was found in a rural oilfield — brutally murdered. The investigation that followed tore through southern Illinois, led to a death sentence, and decades later unraveled into one of the most controversial cases in the state’s history. This is the story of innocence lost, forensic failure, and the haunting legacy Amy left behind.

Episode 2" "Spirits of the Invisible World"

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 13:15:31 +0000

A war raged in the Puritan New England of the 1600s with both the indigenous people who first settled the land and against the “Spirits of the Invisible World” who used “horrid sorcerers and hellish conjurers who conversed with demons” to torment and persecute the faithful.

It was a time of sin, suspicion, wild accusations – and witchcraft. Those who had made pacts with the Devil were intent on the destruction of the “purified” world that the Puritans had created – and they would do anything to stop it.

The Hitcher

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 12:30:14 +0000

Riders on the Storm” turned out to be the last song Jim Morrison ever recorded. When the album was finished, he left L.A. for Paris and either died on July 3, 1971, or he went permanently off the grid – whichever you’d like to believe.

But it’s the lyrics behind the song that is the most unsettling of all – it was inspired by one of the most sinister spree-killers in history. His reign of terror began in the last days of 1950, and over the next two weeks, he went on a senseless rampage. He kidnapped nearly a dozen people, including a deputy sheriff, and murdered six of them in cold blood, including three children.

During those 14 days, the killer – a born loser named Billy Cook – terrorized the highways of the American Southwest and earned a permanent place in the history of music and as the inspiration for two terrifying films.

Episode 1: "Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself"

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 08:00:55 +0000

American Nightmares begins with the horror at the root of the stories that kept the early settlers huddled around the fire late into the night – the Devil himself.

Understanding the Devil in America is the key to understanding our undeniable taste for the evil and the monstrous in all their many forms. The pages of our history can be read as a tale of horror -- with the Devil as one of the main characters. The Devil, like the first white settlers, was imported to these shores, and he found great success here. At almost every turning point in our history, at every moment of great societal and cultural change, the Devil has embodied, and even legitimized our nation. He has been the uninvited guest at the American banquet and the inspiration for religious movements, politics, entertainment, and our country's greatest nightmares.

American Nightmares is part of the American Hauntings Podcast Network. You can find more about us, our books, tours, ghost hunts, dinner events, the Haunted America Conference, and the American Oddities Museum in Alton, Illinois, at the American Hauntings Website!

Trailer - American Nightmares

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 08:00:45 +0000

Our nightmare begins, as all bad dreams do, in the dark.

The new show coming to the American Hauntings Podcast Network is AMERICAN NIGHTMARES, hosted by Troy Taylor (that’s me) and I’ll be delving into America’s history, hauntings, spirits, and sins in a way that we’ve never done before. I’ll be tackling the origins and the history of horror in America, from frightening stories of witch trials to monsters of literature and lore. In the shows to come, I’ll offer tales of terror and stories of revenge and despair, haunted houses, mysterious monsters, brutal murders, death and dying, and true tales of murder, madness, and mayhem that you may find hard to believe can be true.

But I can assure you they are.

The Changeling

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 12:00:06 +0000

“So, I’d been listening to this conversation and I finally walked over and picked up a film off the rack. I handed it to the biggest guy and told him, this is it. Take this home and watch it and if it’s not scary enough for you, I’ll give you your money back when you return it.”

“The guy came back the next day, and he handed me the case with the VHS tape in it. I asked him what he thought and he just had this look in his eye.”

“’Scared the shit out of all of us,’ he said. ‘Seriously man, I was so freaked out I barely slept last night. You were right – gotta be the scariest film in the store.’

American Dread: Twenty-Five Minutes: The Vanishing of TJ Davison

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 08:10:21 +0000

In October 1985, four-year-old Timothy “TJ” Davison vanished from a grocery store parking lot in Decatur, Illinois — in broad daylight, while his aunt was just steps away. What followed was one of the most haunting mysteries in Central Illinois history: decades of silence, false leads, and another family disappearance that may be connected in ways no one ever proved. Nearly forty years later, American Dread revisits the case that still grips Decatur — the boy who vanished in twenty-five minutes, and the questions that still echo through time.

The Possession

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 08:00:04 +0000

Post Malone only went into the room because he was with an expert. That’s what he said later, with a lot of regret. The room was part of the other man’s haunted museum in Las Vegas and inside it was the Dybbuk Box, considered by many as the world’s most haunted and cursed object.

Even that creepy Annabelle doll wouldn’t mess with this thing, some said. It had never been opened before, though, because it was haunted by a Dybbuk...

In 1987, the Dardeen family’s quiet life in rural Illinois ended in unimaginable horror.

A crime so savage, it left investigators speechless — and decades later, still haunted by questions that no one could answer.

Cults. Serial killers. Satanic panic. Lies and legends.

The Believers and Borderland (and a big announcement!)

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 09:00:42 +0000

Mark spent the night drinking beer with his friends and trying to pick up girls, passing most of his time in a cantina called Sgt. Peppers, and a honky-tonk called the London Pub. But when his friends are ready to call it a night, they can’t find him in either bar. They assumed he’d gotten lucky and went back to the hotel without him.

But Mark Kilroy was never seen alive again.

The Lighthouse

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 08:00:27 +0000

The initial inspiration for the film was NOT based on a true story – it was based on an unfinished Edgar Allan Poe story that was also called “The Lighthouse.” Max Eggers began adapting the story but couldn’t figure out what to do with it so his brother jumped in to help, sourcing the plot from the story of a Welsh lighthouse tragedy, which for most people, would sound tame.

It isn’t.

And while the story of Thomas Howell, Thomas Griffith, and the Smalls Lighthouse isn’t a story of an unexplained disappearance, a mysterious death, or brutal true crime, it’s still a horror story that is worthy of Edgar Allan Poe.

Veronica

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 08:00:23 +0000

It’s been called the “SCARIEST FILM ON NETFLIX” by critics and viewers alike. It’s a Spanish film that’s written and directed by Paco Plaza, who found fame a few years before it came out with the REC found-footage franchise. But even though we’ve often bragged that the true stories we’ve talked about this season are scarier than the films they’re based on, the reality of that is really up to you. This time, though, the actual story behind VERONICA manages to stand out. It’s a very real story of an actual case of paranormal activity that had terrifying, even deadly, consequences.

Sneak Preview of New Season Coming to Patreon!

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 10:00:17 +0000

NEW PREVIEW OF OUR NEW SHOW ON PATREON!

CANYON: THE TRUE STORY OF THE STARVED ROCK MURDERS

Available ONLY by becoming a Patreon supporter of American Hauntings.

Go to https://patreon.com/americanhauntings and get signed up now!

On the cold, snow-covered morning of March 16, 1960, when the bodies of three women from the Chicago suburbs were discovered at Starved Rock State Park in Northern Illinois. The murders shocked the entire state and led to a manhunt that snared a confessed killer who spent the next 59 years in prison. It was a tragic, heart-wrenching case, but thankfully, it was over – or was it?

Not only have the murders left ghost stories in their wake, but the man who confessed nine different times to the murders changed his mind behind bars and then spent the next six decades trying to get out of prison, declaring himself innocent.

Was he guilty? Not guilty? Had the cops railroaded the wrong man? What really happened in 1960 -- and what didn't?

This podcast will look at ALL sides of the story. We’ll present the evidence, the rumors, the mistakes, and hopefully, the truth – and then you can judge the guilt or the innocence of those involved for yourself.

Check out the brand new podcast, American Dread, from Adam White.

Two winters. Two murders. Eighteen years apart.

In Decatur, Illinois, the winters of 1942 and 1960 were marked not by snow and holiday cheer, but by the sound of shotguns shattering the night.

In this episode of American Dread, we revisit two chilling cases: the Short Street double shooting of 1942, and the shotgun murder of Virginia Eades in 1960. Different killers, different motives—but each crime left the same lasting scar on the community.

Step into the cold, walk the streets where it happened, and hear the true stories of tragedy and terror from the dark side of the American Heartland.

An American Crime

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 08:00:36 +0000

On October 26, 1965, a 16-year-old girl named Sylvia Likens died in Indianapolis from shock, malnutrition, and a brain hemorrhage. She had been tortured for three months and by the time she died, she could barely move or speak. She had been tortured, neglected, sexually humiliated, starved, beaten, and cut by her tormentors. Her autopsy later revealed 150 wounds on her body, including cigarette burns, skin brandings, and knife wounds.

What had Sylvia done to deserve such torture? Nothing.

On a quiet May night in 1976, the city of Decatur, Illinois, was shattered by a brutal double murder that still echoes nearly fifty years later.

The Entity

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:00:52 +0000

The true story of THE ENTITY doesn’t begin with Carla Moran coming home from work one night, it actually started with researchers Barry Taff and Kerry Gaynor from the Department of Parapsychology at UCLA visiting the home on August 22, 1974. A short time earlier, the two men had been discussing the paranormal in a local bookstore when they were approached by a woman name Doris Blither, who wanted to tell them about her haunted house. The pair agreed to meet Doris at her home, not realizing at the time how baffling and terrifying the case would turn out to be.

Jeepers Creepers

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 11:00:03 +0000

It was Easter Sunday, April 15, 1990, and Ray and Marie Thornton were driving along Snow Prairie Road, a rural highway about 12 miles outside of Coldwater, Michigan. Ray was at the wheel and Marie was next to him and the couple was playing a game they often played in the car to kill time on the road -- trying to make words and phrases out of the license plates they saw.

But things were quiet along the secluded back road they were on that morning and they hadn’t seen another car in a little while. Suddenly, though, a green Chevrolet van appeared in the rearview mirror. It aggressively roared up behind them and then passed them at high speed.

Marie won that round of the game. Spotting the GZ on the van’s license plate, she remarked, “Geez, he’s in a hurry.”

They laughed and would’ve thought no more about it if they hadn’t seen the green van again a short time later. As they passed an abandoned schoolhouse, Ray and Marie saw it parked on the side of the building – but that wasn’t all they saw.

The driver was outside the vehicle and was carrying a large bundle wrapped in what appeared to be a bloody sheet. He was walking toward the back of the ramshackle old building.

Jaws

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 08:16:49 +0000

There’s no denying that there are so many similarities between JAWS and the 1916 shark attacks on the Jersey Shore as well as the disaster of the USS Indianapolis that it’s truly terrifying. If you decide to spend your summer vacation on a beach somewhere, you might want to remember what we’ve been telling you all season – “sometimes, it’s NOT just a movie.”

An American Haunting

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 08:00:00 +0000

The legend of the Bell Witch is one of the greatest ghost stories in American history. It has all the elements of what we have come to think of as a Hollywood-style haunting – a vengeful spirit, flying objects, sounds that can’t be unexplained, a pretty young girl, and a violent death. It’s also one of the only hauntings in history in which a spirit is responsible for the death of one of the protagonists in the case.

Poltergeist

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 11:01:00 +0000

There isn’t a lot that I can say about this film that you don’t already know – it’s a classic, there’s no two ways about that. It’s not only one of the greatest horror films of the 1980s but one of the great horror films of all time. But if you’re not old enough to have seen it in 1982 when it came out, you might be wondering why it was so scary to those of us who were.

And for those who already know, it turns out there was another haunting that made news just before POLTERGEIST was written that’s even more terrifying – and hits a lot closer to home.

The Haunting in Connecticut

Tue, 20 May 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In 1986, the town of Southington, Connecticut, was in an uproar. Normally, a place known for its perfect small-town charm, it had been thrown into a frenzy of media chaos, thanks to a family that was reporting that their new house was haunted.

A check of real estate records in town revealed that the house was indeed the former Hallahan Funeral Home. The idea of living in what was once a funeral home did cause some concerns for the Snedekers but what were they supposed to do? They were nearly broke and every cent they had was being committed to Phillip’s cancer treatment.

It would be fine. It was just an old funeral home. What could go wrong?

The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It

Tue, 06 May 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In 1981, a young man in Connecticut took the idea of the insanity plea to the next level. He claimed that he was innocent of the murder he’d committed – he’d only done it because he was possessed by a demon.

While the previous two Conjuring films took the intrepid duo, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to haunted houses, this was a new kind of horror story for the pair. And while the film takes the demon plot and runs wild with it in the last half of the movie, the first half is loosely based on the real story of the first time that demonic possession was brought up as a defense in a U.S. court.

The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 08:00:00 +0000

“It was chaos, things started flying around, people were screaming.”

In 1977, hot on the heels of the publicity they received after the Amityville Horror case – which is show in the cold open of the film – the Warrens claimed that they investigated the happenings in Enfield, undoubtedly drawn there by all the press the case was getting at the time. Before they even arrived at the Hodgson home, several independent observers dismissed the case as a hoax carried out by "attention-hungry" children, but the Warrens would, of course, state that it was a case of demonic possession.

The Conjuring: Bathsheba, The Warrens, and the Truth

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is, of course, based on a true story. But how true is this story? Well, as you’re just about to hear, NOT VERY. Truth, as they say, is often much stranger than fiction, but in some cases, you actually have to FIND the truth first. And when it comes to THE CONJURING – and with Ed and Lorraine Warren themselves – the truth is a very, very elusive thing.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Maybe what gets called a DEMON isn’t what the variations of Christian churches thinks it is. Their narrow definition leaves out an awful lot of other faiths around the world and since people believed in spirits that attacked and even possessed people long before Christianity became a thing, then they might be something else... We can call them whatever we want but whatever they really are, one thing seems clear – that they’re very scary and very dangerous.

Badlands

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Charles Raymond Starkweather was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on November 24, 1938. He was the third of seven children born to Guy and Helen Starkweather. They were an ordinary, working-class family, and there was nothing about them to suggest that one of the Starkweather children would grow up to be a natural born killer.

Candyman

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 09:00:00 +0000

On October 16, 1992, one of the greatest horror films of the 1990s -- CANDYMAN -- opened across the country. But it’s the reality that the film is inspired by – racial terror, poverty, drugs, police indifference, and the disturbing murder of a Chicago woman – that is even more frightening than the movie itself.

The Dead Man Walking

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 09:04:00 +0000

On May 2, 1962, a Haitian man named Clairvius Narcisse died of a mysterious illness – or so it seemed at the time.

Then, a little over 18 years later, his sister, Angelina, was shopping in a local market and saw a terrifying, vacant-eyed man lurching toward her on the street. Angelina screamed, although not because the poor man in the ragged, threadbare clothing was so frightening on his own. She screamed because the dead man was her brother – Clairvius Narcisse.

Conjuring Up Phillip

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

"The Phillip Experiment" has become known as one of the most famous paranormal studies of all time, so it’s not really that surprising that someone decided to use it as inspiration for a film. In 1972, a group of researchers in Canada were not only convinced that something or someone could actually be created by the power of thought alone and that it was absolutely possible to think something into existence, but some believe they finally achieved their goal by conjuring up a ghost that they called PHILLIP.

Horror for the Holidays 2024

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Special Christmas Eve Episode of the Podcast!

In centuries past, our ancestors had a much different idea of the holiday season than we do today. In those days, the winter nights were long and dark. It was a time of snow, cold, and ice and days and weeks huddled around the fire waiting for warmer weather to return. Oil lamps, candles, and fireplaces were the only sources of light to keep back the encroaching shadows.

It was the perfect time for ghosts.

In the Victorian era, Winter was considered the spookiest time of year, beginning with Halloween and ending with the spring thaw. All the greatest fictional ghost stories of the time were set in the gloomy winter months and during the holidays, like Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” for instance.

So, if you’ve ever wondered why the singer mentions “Scary Ghost Stories” in the song, THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR, well, now you know….

So, here’s a ghost story for you to listen to while you’re going over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house this week.

Happy Holidays from Troy and Cody from American Hauntings!

Amityville (Horror or Hoax?)

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 09:00:00 +0000

To tell the story of this once very famous haunted house seems like it should be simple, oh, but it’s not. In fact, there’s nothing simple about this story at all. But I’m not going to tell you what to believe. I get it – every story gets started for a reason, even if that reason is greed. But believe it or not, there is much about this story that has the potential to be the truth. What part of it? I guess we’ll see...

The Clown That Killed (John Wayne Gacy)

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 12:51:00 +0000

John’s life took an abrupt turn in September 1964 when he met and subsequently married a co-worker named Marlynn Myers, whose parents owned a number of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Iowa. John’s new father-in-law offered him a position with the company and soon the newlyweds were moving to Waterloo, Iowa. Life seemed to hold great promise for the newlyweds with no foreshadowing of what was to come.

The Horror Of Fox Hollow Farm

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Carmel was a safe place, everyone thought so – well, until the middle 1990s, when the town was rocked to its core by the discovery of a mass burial ground at the home of a prominent local businessman.

It was only later that everyone learned the truth and Herb’s sinister side was revealed – along with the scores of bodies that were buried beneath the earth of Fox Hollow Farm.

Halloween Bonus Episode - The Boise Murder House

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000

If you ever happen to find yourself driving down West Linden Street in Boise, Idaho, you might notice the house that sits at number 805. Covered in a layer of dirt, boarded up, windows broken, and trash scattered all over the yard, the large, two-story Craftsman-style home looks like an abandoned set for a horror film – but in this case, the true story is much more terrifying than fiction.

The True Story Of The Winchester Mansion

There is no single residence in America that seems to fit the description of HAUNTED HOUSE better than the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California. And if there is a house that has a richer history, a more mysterious reputation, and a greater reputation for its connections to the spirit world, I can’t think of it.

The Rise And Fall Of "Pacer" Smith

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +0000

On November 29, 1895, the very first professional athlete in America history to receive a death sentence was executed for the murders- a bloody act that had shocked the Illinois town where he lived. The murders and the hanging that followed two months later left a black mark on the city’s history – and they also left two separate hauntings behind.

The Long Island Murder Cottage

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +0000

On the hot New York City afternoon of June 26, 1897, a handful of boys were swimming in the East River just south of an abandoned dock at the foot of East Eleventh Street. The boys soon noticed a package floating nearby. In the package were two human arms attached to a man’s torso.

So much for a fun afternoon….

The Phoenix Bungalow (Winnie Ruth Judd And The “Trunk Murders”

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Violet Grimm knew something was wrong when Ruthie, her tenant, came to the door. She looked tired, and she seemed preoccupied and nervous. She was hoping that Violet’s husband, Howard, could help her with some luggage. H.J. Mapes was the baggageman on the train that night. He’d been with the Southern Pacific Railroad for 23 years and had managed thousands of bags, so he knew right away that something was wrong with the large steamer trunk that had been loaded in Phoenix. He noticed a strange smell and then when he looked closer, he was sure that it was leaking blood.

As Peal handed the rice around the table, Douglas reached for the bowl, but Pearl quickly moved it out of his reach. “You’ve got enough on your plate,” she told the little boy. She pushed it past him and placed it in front of her stepdaughter, Leona. She knew that rice was one of the little girl’s favorite foods.

“There you are, dear,” Pearl smiled widely at the girl. “Please help yourself....”

The House On Ridge Avenue

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +0000

For decades, stories circulated about the “most haunted house in America.” And the whispers told of bizarre murders, gruesome deaths, human experimentation, and visits to the house inspired not only horror stories but even a great inventor’s fascination with death and the afterworld. If any home in the country deserved the moniker of America’s most haunted house, it was this one. However, only some of what you have heard is true...

Murder At Taliesin (Frank Lloyd Wright)

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 21:54:23 +0000

The average person probably doesn’t know the name of too many architects. It’s not usually something that easily comes to mind, unless you’re an architecture or history buff, but there is one name that most will recognize – Frank Lloyd Wright.

On August 15, 1914, one home became a scene of horror when a grisly murder spree claimed the lives of Wright’s mistress, two of her children, and four others who worked at the estate.

Murderous Matron At Morse Mill

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 08:00:00 +0000

In August 1928, a woman from a tiny town in Missouri was arrested on two counts of first-degree murder. As you might imagine, the arrest of a 56-year-old woman with a reputation as a nurse and healer in the community where she’d lived wasn’t your run-of-the-mill news story in the late 1920s. It was a shocking event to people who lived in nearby St. Louis, but those from Franklin County, where the woman lived weren’t as surprised.

Red Hamilton's Last Hurrah

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 08:00:00 +0000

There are stories, rumors, tall tales, and whispers that tell very different stories about the fate of Red Hamilton, John Dillinger's right-hand man for many a heist. There is speculation about where he died, when he actually died, and whether his ghost – or at least the ghost of the man buried in that grave – still haunts a house where someone breathed his last.

It was June 6, 1980, in the normally quiet suburb of Libertyville, Illinois. Located in the heart of Lake County, it was one of the most affluent communities surrounding Chicago. The residents of Libertyville weren’t accustomed to violent crime – those kinds of things don’t happen here, they’d often say. Until they do.

Tue, 21 May 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Horror In Good Hart

Tue, 07 May 2024 08:00:00 +0000

The smell was overwhelming on that July day in 1968 as Monnie Bliss approached the cabin that his father Chauncey had built years earlier near the community of Good Hart, on the Lower Peninsula of Michigan’s Northwest Coast. And the murders that ended up being discovered in the strange cabin in the woods would be a mystery that has yet to solved.

Taken From Home (The "Lipstick Killer" And The Murder Of Suzanne Degnan)

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 08:00:00 +0000

January in Chicago was always brutal. The winter of 1946 was no different. Three murders with one kidnapping in the same area. Were they all the work of one killer? Or was an "innocent" man put away for life while a more brutal killer was still on the loose, living amongst us...?

Last Stand Of The Barker Gang

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:30:00 +0000

There’s a house just outside the town of Ocklawaha, Florida, that stands as one of the most infamous locations in America’s gangland history. It was at this house where the last stand of the Barker gang took place and where Ma Barker and her son, Fred, battled it out with G-men before being shot to death. The violent and blood-soaked battle occurred many decades ago but there are many who believe it’s not quite over for the spirits that still linger behind these walls.

The Easter Sunday Massacre

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 08:00:00 +0000

There was nothing unusual about that Easter Sunday in 1975.

“How’s your Volkswagen, Jimmie?” Leonard asked him.

James didn’t speak. He answered the question by shooting his brother, setting off a spiral of violence and rage that ended as the deadliest shooting spree to ever occur in a private home in America’s bloody history.

One that left a grim and troubling haunting behind.

Memories Of The Old Slave House

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 08:00:00 +0000

On a windy hill near the small Southern Illinois town of Equality is a decaying mansion that was known for decades as the region’s most haunted house. It was a place dubbed Hickory Hill by its builder and over the years, it’s been many things – a plantation house, farmhouse, a tourist attraction, and many believe, a chamber of horrors for men and women brought to this house in chains. Thanks to the long-standing legend of the terrible things that occurred in the house, locals eventually began referring to it as “The Old Slave House.”

Murder At Corpsewood Manor

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Hidden away in the deep, dark woods of the Chattahoochee National Forest was once an isolated mansion that was the object of terror to most of the people who lived in the small town of Summerville, Georgia.

A terror that lingers to this day.

It was on the chilly night of December 12 that year that a secluded house became a place of torture and bloodshed.

The name of the house – Corpsewood Manor – seems like something right out of a horror novel, but on that dark night, the terror was unbelievably real.

The Myrtles Plantation

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 17:35:37 +0000

The Myrtles Plantation, located in the small town of Saint Francisville, Louisiana holds the rather dubious record of hosting more ghostly phenomena than just about any other house in the country. But what could be more dubious than the honor itself?

Well, that would be the questionable history that's long been presented to explain why the house is so haunted in the first place.

Known for decades as one of the most haunted houses in America, the Myrtles attracts an almost endless stream of visitors each year, many of whom come searching for ghosts -- and there seems to be little doubt that the house is haunted. It's the reason for the haunting that's been called into question. For several generations, tales have been told that are blatantly false. However, the Myrtles, according to hundreds of people who've encountered the resident spirits, is indeed haunted, just not for the reasons we've been told.

A simple check of historical records reveals the true story, which you're just about to hear. As is often the case, the true story is not as sensational as the story everyone, including myself, grew up with. But it's still strange and macabre. The history of the plantation is filled with death, tragedy, and despair, which leads us to wonder why the fanciful history was created in the first place.

EPILOGUE: THE FINAL DISAPPEARANCE OF SEASON 7

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 19:20:50 +0000

Throughout the past year, we’ve introduced you to a very strange collection of stories about people who have gone missing – disappeared without a trace, never to return. But as an end of the year "thank you" for all the great feedback, story ideas, texts, emails, and support that we’ve gotten from you this season, we wanted to offer you one last story.

We’ll warn you though – this isn’t your typical missing person story. This one has a bit of a twist, which is why I wanted to save it to the very end.

The Vanishing of the Springfield Three

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 08:00:00 +0000

It was on June 6 of that year when two Missouri teenagers and one of their mothers vanished without a trace after a graduation ceremony and have never been seen again. There was no valid reason for the three of them to disappear. They weren’t running from anything or looking for a new life. They’d just celebrated the event of a lifetime and had everything to live for.

So, where did the three of them go? And why have they never been found? We don’t know. The shocking and tragic events of graduation night have created a haunting mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

The Disappearance Of Amy Lynn Bradley

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 09:32:51 +0000

On March 24, 1998, a young woman named Amy Lynn Bradley vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship while it was on its way to Curacao. Cruises seem to be an escape from reality, but crime happens on board, too. Most reported crimes are, unfortunately, sexual assaults but other things can happen, just like anywhere when you put that many people into one confined space.

Ghosts of the Mineral Springs Hotel (Revisiting Alton, Illinois)

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Much has changed at the Mineral Springs since it opened more than a century ago, but if you stand in the lobby – when the lighting is just right – you almost expect to see guests in old-fashioned clothing as they hurry past on their way to a mineral cure or to have a cocktail in the hotel bar.

And if the stories are true – they still do.

Join us in this special 10-episode "on the side" season as we revisit new and updated stories from our very first season of the podcast on Alton, Illinois, based on the new edition of HAUNTED ALTON by Troy Taylor, available below.

Graveyards Of Alton (Revisiting Alton, Illinois)

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Every town has a story like the one you just heard. Some places, like Alton, have more than one. Most people dismiss stories like that as nothing more than folklore – a tale to be told around the campfire – but I can’t help but wonder how some of these stories got started in the first place...

In this episode, Troy introduces three haunted houses in town. Although this hardly scratches the surface of the number of local haunts he has uncovered over more than two decades of research into Alton’s history and hauntings, these happened to be his favorites – two of which are still standing.

On the evening of March 5, 1957, William and Margaret Patterson left their home at 3000 Piedmont Drive in El Paso, Texas, and vanished without a trace, leaving everything they owned behind. But the more the police learned, the stranger the story became.

The Babysitter Who Vanished (The Disappearance of Evelyn Hartley)

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 08:00:00 +0000

“The call is coming from inside the house.”

That’s the line that always gets us – it’s a line from one of the most popular urban legends of all time. But what if I told you that’s not just an urban legend? And what if I told you that it’s based on a real story about a murdered babysitter in 1950? A murder that’s never been solved?

This is the story of Evelyn Hartley.

Spirits of Industry (Revisiting Alton, Illinois)

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 08:00:00 +0000

During the first half of the nineteenth century, Alton was actually the largest town in the state of Illinois. The town was billed as the “most desirable place to live on the east side of the Mississippi River,” St. Louis began to be referred to – much to the dismay of its political and business leaders – as “the little town downriver from Alton.” There are three industries in the area linked to ghostly tales from Alton’s past. We’re going to explore two of them today.

Home Before Dark (The Disappearance of Beverly Potts)

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 08:00:00 +0000

In the summer of 1951, Beverly Potts was just 10 years old. When the Showagon came through Cleveland, Ohio in August 1951, she was ecstatic to go there alone and her mother reluctantly agreed- as long as she was home before dark. Beverly assured her that she’d be careful. That became the last promise that she ever made to her mother.

Doing Time In Alton (Revisiting Alton, Illinois)

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 11:00:15 +0000

In 1833, construction was completed on the first penitentiary in Illinois. Located in the riverfront town of Alton, there was no other building like it in the state – and only two others anywhere in the United States. The Alton Penitentiary was – and still is – a very haunted place, and it’s one from which there is really no escape – not even in death.

The Ghost of Harriet Haskell (Revisiting Alton, Illinois)

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 08:00:00 +0000

In 1867, Harriet Haskell arrived as the new principal of Monticello Female Seminary (present day LCCC). She would become the symbol of the college as she devoted her life to making it one of the most respected female institutions in the country. Her tenure at the college lasted for 40 years – but many believe that it’s never ended.

The Girl Genius Who Vanished (The Story of Barbara Newhall Follett)

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 08:00:00 +0000

In 1923, Barbara began her most extensive project yet – a complete novel. Finally, in 1926 – after many drafts and a house fire that destroyed one of them – she finished the book. She was only 12 years old. But Barbara’s story had no ending. There was no final chapter because, to this day, no trace of her has ever been found.

What Happened To Ruth?

Tue, 30 May 2023 09:06:20 +0000

Ruth was last seen on the night of May 4 by some of her Tri-Delta sorority sisters shortly before 11:00 PM. She had just returned to her dorm, Austin Hall, after choir practice and changed into her pajamas. She had her hair in curlers and seemed like her ordinary, happy self. The other girls would later recall that she didn’t seem to be under any kind of strain or stress...but she was never seen again.

"NEMO 1934": The Disappearance of Everett Ruess

Tue, 16 May 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Everett financed his wanderings by selling prints and paintings, but he never stayed in the same place for long. He once wrote, “There is always an undercurrent of restlessness and wild longing. The wind is in my hair, there is a fire in my heels, and I shall always be a rover, I know.”

According to everything that exists, Everett continued to roam the southwest until the age of 20, when he disappeared for good...

Into The Sunset With Bitter Bierce (The Story of Author Ambrose Bierce)

Tue, 02 May 2023 08:00:00 +0000

In the early 1900s, Ambrose Bierce was one of the most famous writers in America. He was odd, unusual, eccentric, and often disagreeable, but critics loved his gritty stories of war and adventure. He became one of the most acclaimed writers of the period, although his literary career turned out to be tragically short. Why? Well, you see, Ambrose Bierce, like those literary characters he created, vanished one day without a trace, and his disappearance has never been solved.

The Mystery of Bobby Dunbar

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 08:00:00 +0000

On August 23, 1912, a four-year-old boy named Bobby Dunbar vanished while on a fishing trip to Swayze Lake in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. When Mrs. Lessie Dunbar realized that her son was gone, she contacted the police, who began a massive search for the boy.

Eight months passed before the family’s hopes for Bobby’s return were finally realized —– or at least that’s how it seemed. But no part of this story would turn out to be simple. The boy who returned home was NOT Bobby Dunbar.

The Vanished Heiress (The Disappearance of Dorothy Arnold)

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

A newspaper in 1910 wrote about Dorothy:

"She disappeared from one of the busiest streets on earth, at the sunniest hours of a brilliant afternoon, with thousands within sight and reach, men and women who knew her on every side, and officers of the law thickly strewn in her path."

Such a young woman simply does not just disappear. And yet she did. Because no matter how perfect Dorothy seemed, not everything was as it appeared.

Kidnapped For Ransom (Little Charlie Ross)

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 09:00:00 +0000

In 1874, just nine years after President Lincoln was slain, the nation was again shocked by a terrible event. It was not the death of a great leader but the disappearance of a previously unknown four-year-old name Charles Brewster Ross. “Little Charlie Ross” – as Americans would soon know him – was stolen away in what became the first kidnapping for ransom in the history of the United States.

The Man In The Green Pajamas

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 09:00:00 +0000

It was at the Sandman where the man in the green pajamas was staying when he came to Jacksonville. Of course, that wasn’t his name. It was Bruce Campbell, and he was a stockbroker from Massachusetts. He came here to visit his son, who was then a professor at MacMurray College in town. Bruce’s first grandchild had just been born and it was meant to be a happy visit for the family.

But it turned out to be a tragic one.

Season Seven Trailer and Topic Reveal

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Season seven of the American Hauntings Podcast, "GONE", will include stories of mysterious and impossible disappearances that we found in the archives to be the most intriguing, compelling, and downright chilling.

If all these people vanished so easily from the face of the earth, then it means that it could happen to anyone – perhaps even you.

Because, as you’ll learn this season, a disappearance doesn’t have to be possible in order for it to occur. In fact, one of the most baffling vanishings of all time simply couldn’t have happened – and yet it did.

The Lawson Family Christmas

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Charlie Lawson, the quiet, unassuming man had become more outgoing, especially with the children. He laughed and told jokes, which he never did. His wife might have been happy with those changes in her husband if they hadn’t been so abrupt – and if Charlie had not been spending an inordinate amount of time with their 17-year-old daughter, Marie. Something terrible was going to happen, and it would ruin Christmas in a way that only murder and tragedy can do.

Victims of the Ax Fiend

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0000

One of the strangest murder sprees in American history occurred across Louisiana and Texas in the early 1910s. Local newspapers called the first crime "the most brutal murder in the history of this section," and there would be many more -- all linked to the same killer. The newspapers of the era, dealing with murder victims that were all African-Americans, claimed the killings were connected to a deranged Voodoo woman and a cult called the "Church of Sacrifice," which used the victims for bloody rituals. The story wasn't true – the real story may have been even stranger – and they remain unsolved.

The Bluebeard Of Quiet Dell

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0000

During the early years of the Great Depression, the crimes of Harry Powers appalled and fascinated thousands of people, but he is barely remembered today – much like the methods that he used to find his victims. He sought out women through matrimonial mail-order ads, seeking wives to live on his peaceful West Virginia farm. But those who answered the ads were never seen again.

The Starved Rock Murders

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 09:00:00 +0000

On March 14, 1960, the bodies of three women from the Chicago suburbs were discovered in St. Louis Canyon, one of the many natural wonders at Starved Rock State Park, near Utica, Illinois. The crime shocked northern Illinois and led to a manhunt that snared a confessed killer who spent the next 59 years behind bars. It is one of the most shocking stories to ever occur in this otherwise peaceful region – and it left lingering spirits behind.

Strangers In The Night (The Keddie Resort Murders)

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 08:00:00 +0000

One of the most disturbing multiple murders in California history occurred on April 11, 1981, when three victims – a mother, her teenage son, and the son's friend – were beaten to death in a remote cabin in the woods while children slept soundly in the next room. A fourth victim – a 12-year-old daughter – vanished in the night, and her body was found a year later, miles away from the gruesome scene. The murders remain unsolved to this day, but it went on to inspire THE STRANGERS, one of the most terrifying films ever made.

Wedged Into An Empty Apple Bin (The Serial Killer Of Linden)

On November 12, 1917, the body of an unknown woman was discovered on some wooded property outside of the village of Linden, New York. Her identity was unknown – and so was that of her killer. It became the first in a series of horrific murders that remain unsolved to this day.

Testimony From Beyond The Grave

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 07:33:00 +0000

On January 23, 1897, the body of a young woman named Zona Heaster Shue was discovered in her home in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It seemed to be a rather ordinary case of perhaps domestic discord gone wrong, but in the end, the case turned out to be anything but ordinary. In fact, it went on to become the only case in which the word of a ghost helped to solve a crime and convict a murderer!

Murder On Saxtown Road

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 08:00:00 +0000

On March 19, 1874, horror came to the small town of Millstadt, Illinois. It was a place where nothing bad could ever really happen – or at least that's what the residents there in the latter part of the nineteenth century believed. However, the murders that occurred on Saxtown Road forever shattered that illusion. When a local German family was brutally slaughtered in 1874, it created a dark, unsolved mystery – and a haunting that continues today.

The Vanishing Of Don Kemp

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 08:00:00 +0000

On November 16, 1982, two Wyoming highway patrolmen discovered an abandoned car along a desolate stretch of rural highway. The engine was running, the driver's door was standing open, but the driver was gone. The car belonged to successful ad executive Don Kemp, and the story of his disappearance is one of the strangest in modern history, filled with twists, turns, and many unanswered questions.

The Haunting Of Harrison Woods

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 08:00:00 +0000

One of the most shameful events to ever occur in American history happened in the small southern Illinois town of Herrin in the summer of 1922. It would be a horrific labor union massacre that would garner national outrage and would forever stain the area with blood. It would also leave behind a fearful haunting that would linger in a place outside of town called Harrison Woods for more than three decades after the carnage occurred. The ghosts remained as a reminder of the dark deeds of man.

The Mystery Of The Long Trail

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 08:00:00 +0000

On December 1, 1926, a young woman from Bennington College, located in the Green Mountains of Vermont, vanished without a trace. And while the search for Paula Welden may have gotten the most attention over the years, she was not the only person to disappear near Glastonbury Mountain and its scenic Long Trail. To this day, no trace of any of them has ever been found.

Forlorn Hope: The Donner Party Part 1

Tue, 31 May 2022 08:00:00 +0000

In the spring of 1846, a wagon train of hopeful immigrants left Illinois, bound for California, but they had no idea what awaited them on the trail. Cursed by bad luck and mistakes, they took an untested route through mountains and deserts, only to be stranded in the Sierra Nevadas by heavy winter snowfalls. What followed was the horror of death, starvation, desperation, and cannibalism.

The Deadliest Month (Coal Mining Disasters)

Tue, 17 May 2022 08:00:00 +0000

In December 1907, three coal mine disasters took place, killing hundreds of men who dared to tear apart the earth in search of wealth. The deadly tragedies – and the ghosts who linger because of them – remain some of the most terrifying accidents to ever occur in American history and still haunt the Appalachian region to this day.

The Curse of Black River Falls

Tue, 03 May 2022 08:00:00 +0000

What happened in the town of Black River Falls, Wisconsin, between 1890 and 1910? What caused the once pleasant and thriving small town to become a place of death, horror, and strangeness? The mines and lumber industries shut down at that time, leaving people without jobs and causing the banks and many businesses to fail. Illness spread, and people turned to alcohol for comfort. Bad weather devastated the local crops, and the cold, bleak winters caused starvation and anguish. Talk of witchcraft and devil worship circulated among the residents. During this terrible period, the seemingly doomed inhabitants of Black River Falls surrendered to suicide, murder, destruction, and depravity.

The Village That Vanished

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 08:00:00 +0000

In the wilds of northwestern Connecticut are the remains of a small village called Dudleytown. The homes of this once thriving community are long gone, but the land where the town once stood is far from empty. Amidst the forest and rocks are tales of ghosts, demons, unexplained mysteries, curses, and a rich history that dates back to the very beginnings of America.

Mrs. Wakeman vs The Antichrist

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 08:00:00 +0000

Religious zealots have been awaiting the appearance of the Antichrist on earth for centuries. There have been those who have actively sought him out and some who would do anything to destroy him – like a woman named Rhoda Wakeman, a prophet and religious leader of the nineteenth century. In fact, on the morning of December 24, 1855, Rhoda killed a man who was possessed by the Antichrist in New Haven, Connecticut. The man was a member of her sect, and he participated in his own execution… It is a story of murder, prophecy, religious mania, and a death-crazed belief that the end of the world was coming soon.

Pow-wowing and Hex Murders

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 08:00:00 +0000

In the modern days of the 1920s, a pair of homicides that came to be known as the "Hex Murders" – and the subsequent hex scare that followed – marked a substantial turning point in American history, especially in the way that the public perceived the practice of folk magic – or what locals called "pow-wowing" – in the region.

The American Witch

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Salem was far from the only "witchcraft outbreak" in American history. Witches – falsely accused and the real thing – can be found throughout the early history of America, from healers to herbalists, hex signs, and hoodoo doctors. And in some cases of accused witches, murder and death followed in the wake of public outcry. Here's what happened.

The Dark Day Of Signs And Wonder

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 09:30:00 +0000

"The 19th of May 1780, was a remarkable dark day. Candles were lighted in many houses; the birds were silent and disappeared, and the fowls retired to roost. ... A very general opinion prevailed, that the Day of Judgment was at hand," Timothy Dwight wrote. The end was coming, and God had lowered his hand over the people of New England for their wickedness. Or at least that's what a lot of religious zealots believed in the spring of 1780. It seemed that the people of America were doomed. What happened that day? No one knows.

Marilyn Monroe (The Death of a Goddess)

Thelma Todd – the woman that Hollywood would know as the “Ice Cream Blonde,” and who made 69 films during her too-short career- died in 1935. The official cause of Thelma’s death was said to be an accidental poisoning from carbon monoxide, but the true facts in this sensational case remain unresolved to this day.

When the Hollywood notable dies under strange or bloody circumstances, then the death becomes even more curious, and gets bigger headlines, for an even longer period of time. Today, we discuss the horrific murder of Colonel Hogan himself, Bob Crane.

The Many Haunts Of Rudolph Valentino

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 08:00:00 +0000

On August 23, 1926, the most heartbreaking Hollywood news of the silent film era reached the general public when New York City’s Polyclinic Hospital announced that Rudolph Valentino was dead.

Valentino -- known as the “Sheik” and “Hollywood’s Greatest Lover” – had died from a burst appendix. It seemed too boring of a death for a man like Valentino and, not surprisingly, rumors followed him to the grave.

The Rise And Fall Of Fatty Arbuckle

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Fatty was the first Hollywood star to get “CANCELED,” as it’s called today, and his career destruction followed a crime that he not only didn’t commit but was found innocent of at trial. But by then, it was too late, and no one believed him anyway.

On February 1, 1922, William Desmond Taylor, one of the most famous movie directors in early Hollywood, was murdered in his bungalow in the Westlake District of Los Angeles.

Hollywood Booze, Broads, And Mobsters

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 15:18:57 +0000

The Tombstone Thunderbird & Season 5 Announcement

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000

On April 26, 1880, the Tombstone, Arizona, newspaper, The Epitaph, printed a startling report. According to the article, two cowboys saw a giant bird outside of town, shot it, and carried its gigantic carcass into Tombstone.

How, I asked myself, could what seemed to be a prehistoric flying creature have been shot down by cowboys in the 1880s? Such a thing seemed impossible, but here was the story – and, of course, there was the photograph. That was the really exciting part! I still remember what that photograph looked like! Or do I?

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 3

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000

Hollywood. As we keep telling you, it’s not really on the maps anymore. It’s not a town and hasn’t been for years. It’s just another part of Los Angeles that doesn’t look nearly as great as it does in the movies or on postcards. It’s a little run-down, more than a little seedy, and desperately trying to hang onto its former glamor like an aging actress that’s had one too many facelifts.

But Hollywood is a place for reinvention. Such is the case with the once famous Knickerbocker Hotel – well, not the by the hour part, but you’ll soon understand what I mean – it started as one thing, became another, and then something else altogether.

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 2

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000

Today we talk The Cecil Hotel, Richard Ramirez, Elisa Lam, and numerous suicides.

Hollywood is nothing but a façade these days. It’s not even a real town anymore – it’s just another part of Los Angeles that looks a little worse for wear. And the sun-bleached hotels are much like Hollywood itself. They’re aging, faded, and trying to hang onto the glamor they had in decades past, when it was movie stars and not hookers that you’d find along Hollywood Boulevard. Some of them may be seedy and a little beaten up, but they have a history – and it’s a history that keeps coming back again and again and often, it returns as stories of ghosts and other assorted strangeness...

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 1

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000

Many of Hollywood’s older hotels are much like Hollywood itself. They are aging and slightly faded, still trying to hang onto the shimmer of glamour that they enjoyed in the days gone by. Like other parts of Hollywood, a few of the hotels have seen face-lifts in recent years, which have stirred up memories and “spirits” of the past. Not all the ghostly stories, and wicked scandals, are products of recent times, however, many of them have been around for years.

Hollywood's Haunted Theaters

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:00:00 +0000

What is about a theater that seems to attract a ghost? Could it be the range of emotions expressed by the actors, from joy to sorrow to fear? Perhaps all that emotion attracts spirits who need that energy to exist. Or perhaps terrible or tragic events occur in a theater – just as they do in other kinds of buildings – and that leaves an impression behind as a haunting.

BONUS: The Los Feliz Murder House

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 11:00:00 +0000

In 1959, Harold Perelson seemed to be a man with everything going for him. He had a distinguished career as a doctor, a beautiful wife, loving children, and a wonderful home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles that was ideal for what seemed to be the perfect family.

And then on the night of December 6, neighbors were awakened by the sound of Harold Perelson’s daughter, Judye, screaming and banging on their door...When the police arrived, they entered the Perelson house and found Harold’s wife, Lillian, dead in her bed and Harold himself dead from a massive drug overdose. He had apparently committed suicide.

A copy of Dante’s DIVINE COMEDY was open on Harold’s nightstand, highlighting a passage that read:

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost…

It might as well have been Harold’s suicide note.

Hollywood Studio Hauntings

What makes Hollywood – “Hollywood?” The movies, of course, and the movie stars. But behind the façade – where the sausage is made, so to speak, are the studios where the magic happens. And the desperate spirits who refuse to vacate long after the director has called "cut."

Mullholland's Fall And The St. Francis Dam Collapse

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 11:00:00 +0000

At just three minutes before midnight on March 12, 1928, the St. Francis Dam, which had been designed as a reservoir for the Los Angeles water supply by William Mulholland, suddenly failed, releasing 11 billion gallons of water into a narrow valley in northeastern Los Angeles County, destroying everything in its path. Over the course of the next four hours, a roaring wall of water swept through the night, traveling 55 miles from the San Francisquito Valley, through the Santa Clara Valley, and on to the Pacific Ocean.

BONUS: Horror of the Heights

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:17:52 +0000

On this bonus episode, Troy discusses the "Phantom of the Heights", a tall, thin figure, dressed all in black, who began sprinting across the rooftops of O’Donnell Heights. It leapt on and off buildings, broke into houses, attacked people, enticed a young girl to crawl under a car and played music in the nearby graveyard. Groups of young men patrolled the streets, while others waited by their windows at night, keeping a sleepy watch for the “Phantom Prowler” that eluded his pursuers and vanished into the cemetery before he could be caught.

Season 5, Haunted Hollywood, launches on September 1st!

The Axeman of New Orleans pt 1

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 15:36:40 +0000

New Orleans war against vice – like the Great War in Europe – appeared to be nearly at an end. The city was poised to become a normal, orderly, Christian place that the reformers wanted it to be. Until, that is, the appearance of a mysterious figure with an ax that would start a frenzy in New Orleans – over murder and, of all things, jazz music – that was like nothing the city had seen before or since.

Night Doctors, Needle Men, And Murder

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 11:00:15 +0000

Vampires, ghosts, monsters, and an assortment of murderers. All of them have roamed the streets of New Orleans at one time or another and have become part of the city’s spookiest lore. Some of these boogeymen – from the Needle Men to the Gown Man to Hugging Molly – have sometimes even caused more fear than the killers have. And that’s largely because they conjured up some very bad memories of the past, especially when it came to the Night Doctors.

Haunted Hotels

Tue, 05 May 2020 21:23:55 +0000

New Orleans is a city that is known for being out of the ordinary. There are dozens and dozens of old, historic hotels, inns, and mansions that have been turned into bed and breakfasts and guest houses in the French Quarter, and all of them have the kind of atmosphere that you won’t find in any other city in America.

Death In New Orleans

Tue, 24 Mar 2020 11:00:21 +0000

There are 38 cemeteries in New Orleans, so there’s no way that we can get to them all. Instead, we’ll focus on the history of death, burials, and boneyards in the city and then take a closer look at the cemetery that is the most popular among tourists. Of course, just using those two words together – “cemetery” and “tourist” – says a lot what kind of traveler embraces New Orleans. I’m thinking that it’s a lot like the kind of listener that never misses this podcast.

Voodoo In New Orleans

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 11:00:03 +0000

Ask any tourist – or anyone who watched a season of American Horror Story – and they can tell you that Marie Laveau is the undisputed Queen of Voodoo in New Orleans. Voodoo is as big a part of New Orleans as jazz, gumbo, and Mardi Gras. Most tourists, even after seeing the voodoo shops in the French Quarter, assume that voodoo is a thing of the past – but they couldn’t be more wrong. The religious faith is very much alive today and it’s taken just as seriously now as it was in the days of Marie Laveau.

Ghosts of the Titanic: Dead of Winter 2020 (Live Show)

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 12:00:10 +0000

Recorded live at Dead of Winter 2020. Today, we discuss the "unsinkable" ship, the RMS Titanic, and the spirits of the 1,517 people she left behind.

On April 14, 1912, four days into its maiden voyage, the world’s largest passenger steamship, RMS Titanic, struck an iceberg and sank in just 2 hours and 40 minutes – carrying 1,517 people to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Birth of Jazz and the Red Light District

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 12:00:11 +0000

Today we discuss the birth of jazz music and its incorporation into the red-light district of early New Orleans, from Basin Street to Storyville.

Instagram: @AmericanHauntingsPodcast

Twitter: @AmerHauntsPod

Jazz music is, without a doubt, an American invention. That’s about the only thing that we know for sure, other than it originated within the African-American communities of New Orleans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was not actually born in the red-light districts of New Orleans – it just seemed that way. It was in the city’s whorehouses that jazz became famous.

New Orleans Under The Black Flag & The Pirate John Lafitte

Tue, 14 Jan 2020 12:00:03 +0000

We're talkin' PIRATES! Today we tell the story of the most infamous pirate of New Orleans, John Lafitte and his role instrumental role in The Battle of New Orleans.

Instagram: @AmericanHauntingsPodcast

Twitter: @AmerHauntsPod

In the early 1800's, New Orleans was a tough place. Business at the popular pirate party cove, Grand Terre, was shabbily conducted, with every man for himself, and it soon became clear that a leader was needed to take matters into hand and bring order out of the chaos. The man who stepped into that role was Jean Lafitte, the infamous pirate to ever call New Orleans "home."

Spirits of the Creoles & The Bourbon Orleans Hotel

Today we discuss Creole society, The Bourbon Orleans Hotel, The Theatre d’Orleans, and more.

Instagram: @AmericanHauntingsPodcast

Twitter: @AmerHauntsPod

In the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter – just beyond Jackson Square and the St. Louis Cathedral – is the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. It is a place where the past truly collides with the present in both colorful and eccentric ways. The building, and the ground that it stands upon, has seen a wide variety of uses during its history, and it seems that every one of those moments in time has left behind an impression in the shape of ghosts and spirits.

Madame Delphine LaLaurie Part 2

Cody and Troy break down the fact vs fiction on Madame Delphine LaLaurie and the infamous LaLaurie Mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Instagram: @AmericanHauntingsPodcast

Twitter: @AmerHauntsPod

On April 10, 1843, a fire broke out in the home of Dr. Louis LaLaurie and his wife, Delphine. The house, located on Royal Street, was one of the showplaces of Creole New Orleans. The mansion had played host to some of the most elaborate soirees and parties in the city but in recent months, rumors about the treatment of some of the LaLaurie slaves had caused some party invitations to be declined.

Madame Delphine LaLaurie Part 1

In this episode, Troy and Cody break down THE Haunted House in New Orleans- The LaLaurie Mansion. It was --and is-- the best-known haunted house in the French Quarter and yet its name was seldom mentioned. There was no need. Horrible things had happened there – horrible enough to earn the house a reputation that still lingers more than two centuries later.

The Lingering Ghost of Nell Cropsey

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 09:00:00 +0000

On the night of November 20, 1901, a young North Carolina woman named Nell Cropsey vanished from her family’s home in Elizabeth City. After a frantic search that lasted more than a month, Nell’s body was discovered floating in a nearby river. She had been brutally murdered – but by who? Her lover spent more than a dozen years in prison, proclaiming his innocence, before being pardoned by the governor. Did he kill Nell? And if not, then who did? And why did he commit suicide soon after getting out of prison?
