| AC 00127 - Do Not Trespass at Salem Black River Church | 16 Mar 2025 | 00:41:53 | |
Salem Black River Church near Maysville, SC, is one of the oldest churches in South Carolina and has a rich history as a place of worship and community. From it sprang many other local institutions and activists of tremendous importance also. But the Internet holds that today it is a place of disturbing phenomena from hauntings to monsters. Is any of that true? Go creepin' around with Michael and Charlie as we talk about why no one should trespass at Salem Black River Church! Links: Upcoming Live Appearances:

| AC 00125 - Lydia's Bridge | 05 Jan 2025 | 00:36:32 | |
Late on a rainy, foggy night, as you drive through the early settlement of Jamestown, NC, a young woman may flag you down in hopes of refuge from the weather and a ride to her home. This is a familiar legend in the Carolinas, but it isn't unique. Is there real history behind this instance of the well-known tale of a hitchhiker from beyond? And just how common is this story? Join Charlie and Michael for a fun discussion full of surprises and deep research! Links:

| AC 00110 - Arcane Destinations - Robert the Doll | 30 Jun 2024 | 00:43:42 | |
Michael here! I have no idea how to introduce this episode, honestly, because every time we say anything even remotely snarky about this episode's subject some piece of technology fails us: we had microphones go out in the middle of recording, our hosting provider ate the episode when it was supposed to go out, and even so small a thing as trying to add episode artwork caused me to lose the draft seconds before I would have clicked "publish." That said, I invite you to join us Charlie does a deep dive into the history and lore around Robert the Doll, star of stage and screen, and we discuss how such an item might come to hold powers beyond what one might expect. (Please, universe, just let me click "publish" and be done with this episode already. Yeesh.) Upcoming Live Appearances:
