| 6/24/26 | Aunt Jenny & The Brooks Family Blood Oath | Deep within Alabama's Bankhead National Forest, hidden among the ridges and hollows of the old Black Warrior Mountains, sits the isolated Poplar Springs Cemetery. For generations, locals have claimed the little family graveyard is haunted by the spirit of one of Alabama's most legendary folk figures—a woman whose life became inseparable from stories of blood feuds, vengeance, ghostly hitchhikers, and Civil War violence. They called her Aunt Jenny. Part history and part mountain folklore, the story of Aunt Jenny Brooks Johnston has been passed down across North Alabama for more than a century. It is a tale of tragedy, survival, and a promise made beside the body of a murdered husband that would shape the fate of an entire family for decades to come. Along the way, the legend grew larger than life, blurring the line between documented history and ghost story until Aunt Jenny became one of the most feared—and most celebrated—figures in Southern folklore.

| 6/22/26 | The Lore of Louisville's Seelbach Hotel | Encore Episode | Since its grand opening on May 1, 1905, the Seelbach Hotel has stood as one of Louisville, Kentucky's most lavish and luxurious establishments. It has hosted an array of notable figures, from U.S. Presidents and legendary actors to notorious bootleggers and mobsters. As a result, the hotel is steeped in lore, with some claiming it was here that F. Scott Fitzgerald first encountered the inspiration for Jay Gatsby in the underground Rathskeller barroom, while others say Al Capone used the tunnels beneath the hotel to evade the law. Yet the most notorious resident of the Seelbach is the mysterious spirit of a lady in blue, an apparition as integral to its storied history as the men who helped build it.

| 6/18/26 | The Chapel Hill Ghost Light | Encore Episode | For almost a century, folks who dare head out to the old L&N train tracks at night, on the edge of the small town of Chapel Hill, Tennessee, have found themselves face-to-face with a strange ball of light that eerily bounces down the line. Some say the light is the spirit of a headless railroad worker, others a murdered woman, but no matter what has caused it, hundreds have purportedly witnessed the strange phenomenon.

| 3/30/26 | The Ghost Aboard the James T. Staples | In January of 1913, the steamboat James T. Staples—one of the most elegant vessels to travel the Tombigbee River—was torn apart by a sudden boiler explosion near Powe’s Landing in Alabama, killing dozens and leaving the once-proud riverboat a smoldering wreck. Built by respected captain Norman Staples, the ship had only recently been taken from his control after a bitter financial collapse, marking the end of a career shaped by ambition, tragedy, and the fading era of Southern river travel. In the days surrounding the disaster, something deeper began to take hold in the communities along the river—stories of strange omens, fleeing rats, and sightings below deck that no one could quite explain. With no clear cause ever confirmed, the explosion gave rise to whispers that the destruction of the James T. Staples may not have been entirely accidental. More than a century later, the story lingers at the intersection of history and folklore, where loss, legacy, and something far less certain continue to drift along the waters of the Tombigbee.
