The Easter Sunday Massacre
March 26, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 76.5 MBThere 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. Check out our updated website and sign up for our newsletter at AmericanHauntingsPodcast.com Want an episode ev...
Memories Of The Old Slave House
March 12, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBOn 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 bega...
Murder At Corpsewood Manor
February 27, 2024 09:00 - 1 hour - 70 MBHidden 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 unbe...

The Myrtles Plantation
January 31, 2024 17:35 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBThe 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 o...

The Vanishing of the Springfield Three
October 24, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 77 MBIt 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.
