Haunted Hospitality

In this week's episode, Zoey talks about the ghosts at the St Augustine lighthouse in St. Augustine, FL. The ghosts include three giggling little girls, a shadow being known as The Man, and a woman who stands on the cat walk, looking down to where her husband died. But first, Robin put together a very rude quiz for Zoey, filled with un-guessable southern fun facts, resulting in the lowest sco...

Content warning for murder, infanticide, rape, and alcohol abuse. We know that Nannie Doss killed four of her five husbands. She admitted it at the age of 49 when she was finally arrested. However, members of her family often grew ill when she came to visit and many people believe she killed up to eleven people. Before we get into that though, Zoey takes us through the timeline of events in Gabby...

In this week's episode, Robin and Zoey are virtual again and making up for the previous oopsie daisy. Since this episode is coming out the Tuesday before Halloween, Zoey decided to tell us about the man who killed Halloween, also known as the Candy Man. Listen to figure out why a town in Texas didn't go trick-or-treating for two decades and why your parents always checked your Halloween...

William Goebel was already dying from multiple gunshot wounds when he was sworn in as Governor of Kentucky on January 31, 1900. Outside the Capital Hotel, militia prepared for war, faithful voters prayed for good news, and Kentucky's OTHER governor could only hope the backlash wouldn't fall on him.  How did we get here? Political infighting turned violent attacks, maybe-duels, and one ma...

This week's unsolved mystery takes place in Jefferson County, Alabama. Billy Dye, Robert Dye, and Dan Brasher all disappeared on the same stormy night, March 3, 1956. While no one knows what happens to this day, locals feel like they know the truth. Zoey shares the facts of the case and several theories (including her own) that all center around one idea: the trio defied the code of the land...

Why did Yazoo City, Mississippi burn down in 1904? Locals say it was because of a witch's curse — and with good reason! According to legend, a sheriff chased the witch into quicksand, where she told him she would burn Yazoo City in twenty years. When she was buried, they placed a chain link fence around her grave to prevent her from completing the curse. But after the fire, the chains were br...

In Zoey's first True Crime episode after the College-Palooza, she takes us on a wild ride that is the life of Amanda Taylor, otherwise known as the Selfie Killer. A woman who was grieving over her husbands death, Amanda vowed to kill the man she felt was responsible, and then a couple others to experience the thrill. But before that, Robin shares a Something Southern. She brings us back to St...

In the summer of 1951, Mary Reeser — a widowed grandmother who lived near her son's family in St. Petersburg, Florida — burned to death in her small apartment. No one knew until the next morning when her landlady tried to deliver a telegram and found Mary's doorknob hot to the touch. It was as if only her body and the chair had caught fire. Nearby newspapers sat unburnt; smoke stains gat...

We are wrapping up the 2021 Haunted College Tour-a-palooza in this 5th part episode. This week we visit two states! Zoey covers Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida that is haunted by the ghosts of the original owner, his second wife, and his mistress. Robin takes us to Gainesville, Georgia and tells the heartwarming tale of Agnes the Ghost at Brenau University. But first, Robin attempts to e...

Continuing our Haunted College Tour Palooza, we're "visiting" Salem College and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to tell you all about the ghouls, ghosts, etc etc (you know the drill!) that spend their afterlives haunting unsuspecting students. Prepare for history, local lore, and a recitation of the first stanza of Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" — beca...

This episode is a two in one deal. Both Robin and Zoey tell the hauntings of two schools in Louisiana. Robin covers the Nicholls State University with it's pop-up Paranormal class and Zoey covers the spooky dorms of Louisiana State University. But before we get into that, Robin shares her Something Spooky - a book by Shirley Jackson called "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" and a...

In this episode's stop on our haunted college tour, we explore the hauntings, history, and urban legends of our alma mater, the University of South Carolina! Learn all about the ghosts of the Horseshoe, Longstreet Theatre, and Columbia Hall—as well as the Third Eye Man, who dresses in silver and allegedly lives in the tunnels beneath the university. Robin also shares her personal ghost story...

Kicking off our month long haunted college tour in the hopes to scare incoming freshmen students, Zoey tells us about the Red Lady (or Ladies) of Huntingdon College, as well as Frank the Ghost and a couple other spirits here and there. But first, at Robin's request, we revisit our Hot Takes for Something Southern, and this time our Co-hosts don't agree with each other! Also, listen to Ro...

In the summer of 1942, the town of Pascagoula, Mississippi (and everyone else) deeply felt the effects of World War II. From population increases to a total shake up of the economy, Pascagoula was going through a period of change—one that got even weirder when a mysterious man began breaking into homes and cutting off locks of human hair. The Phantom Barber struck at least four times during that s...

You like what I did there? That pun? In the title? No? It's too far of a stretch? Well too bad, I'm sticking with it. In this episode Robin tells us about her vacation that turned into Zoey's nightmare when a fun dip in the river made Robin a leech buffet. Zoey steals Robin's Something Spooky and shares Tree Hugger's article, "6 Ways to Tell if Your House is Haunted&q...

What happens at the beginning of most horror movies? A family moves into an idyllic house—then things go bump in the night. In this episode, we discuss the history of Poplar Hill, a North Carolina house first built in the late 18th century, and the hauntings that built up over time. Prepare for disembodied voices, apparitions, shockingly tall ghosts/beings, and the feeling of being watched. But fi...

This episode is an accidental non-southern episode. Unfortunately, Geography is not one of Zoey's strongest subjects and it came as a genuine shock when she learned Kansas was not actually in the south. But that is okay! We'll make it work and now Zoey has a list of states on her phone so she doesn't make the same mistake again. For our something Southern (that is also a little spoo...

In the early hours of February 17, 1970, Army doctor Jeffrey R. MacDonald called 911 to report a stabbing in his home in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. When police arrived, they found the brutally murdered bodies of Jeffrey's wife and daughters: Colette, Kimberley, and Kristen. Jeffrey himself was the lone survivor of the attack — with considerably less injuries than the stabbings and blunt forc...

In the first Cryptid episode on Haunted Hospitality, Zoey covers the Lizard Man that belongs to a town just a few hours away from our home base in Columbia, SC.  This episode was on our list to cover, but it was also thanks to Glenn's recommendation that we decided to cover it earlier! Thank you Glenn! Before we get into the content, however, Robin shares her new deck of Tarot cards, talking...

The Axeman, active in 1918 and 1919, attacked Italian-Americans who owned grocery stores in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. He broke into their houses at night, gaining entry by cutting a panel out of each of their doors and then attacking the sleeper with their own ax. Though he had a clear MO, his attacks had elements that threw off investigators: 1) he could be active twice within a few...

In this episode, Zoey tells the story of Savannah, Georgia's Moon River Brewing Company. Riddled with ghosts, and a potential dark entity, the brewing company is one of many haunted buildings in what is considered the most haunted city in America. The ghosts include a town drunk killed by a local doctor (where the doctor faced no consequences), a malicious Lady in White, several children who...

In King’s Tavern in Natchez, Mississippi, doors open and close on their own, glass breaks, tables vibrate, bare footprints appear on mopped floors, and apparitions will manifest on the stairs or behind you in the mirror. These hauntings are explained by a story that the first owner’s wife killed his mistress, Madeline, in the early 1800s and hid her body among others in the fireplace. Customers an...
