About this episode
This episode explores the mysterious reputation of Pitcher Point along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where locals believe the land is cursed.
Along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where the waters of the Mississippi Sound meet old beach towns and storm-worn shorelines, there’s a stretch of land between Pass Christian and Long Beach long known as Pitcher Point. Locals have claimed for generations that nothing built there seems to last. Fires, storms, failed developments, and sudden ruin have all added to the point’s strange reputation, leaving many to wonder if the land itself carries some older misfortune.
