6 NOV 2026 · In the autumn of 1895, a bizarre ghost craze gripped Washington, D.C., when Officer Sedgwick, an African American patrolman, reported a tall, headless figure in white drifting through the dimly lit streets of Northeast Washington. After shooting at the apparition with no effect, Sedgwick had custom silver bullets cast for his revolver, while fellow officers and frightened locals reported identical sightings that drew midnight crowds of ghost hunters. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy tracks "Sedgwick's Ghost," exploring the panic, silver bullets, and one of the strangest phantom hunts in the nation's capital.

5 NOV 2026 · In February 1867, Confederate veteran Jeter Phillips returned to Richmond from a buggy ride alone, claiming his young wife Mary Emily had climbed into a stranger's carriage and vanished; four days later, her brutally beaten and near-decapitated body was found dumped in roadside brush. Phillips was convicted and publicly hanged in July 1870, but his story took a bizarre turn when missing grave records, reports of a $10,000 bribe, and claims of revived corpses sparked rumors that he had survived the gallows and lived under a new identity. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy covers the gruesome Richmond murder, a public execution, and the enduring legend of the killer who supposedly walked away from the noose.

4 NOV 2026 · On September 5, 1946, the Ohio River town of New Albany, Indiana, was shattered when Mayor Raymond L. Jaegers was found dead inside his locked City Hall office with a bullet wound to the head and a pistol in his hand. The tragedy came amid a vicious political war over illegal slot machines—highlighted only hours later when a gambling operator slashed the face of anti-vice leader W. Dudley Jewell—and deepened when a suicide note in Jaegers's desk blamed three prominent civic figures for driving him to his death. Decades later, city employees continue to report heavy, unexplained footsteps pacing the locked corridors after dark, leaving many to wonder if the overwhelmed mayor still walks the halls where his life ended. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy uncovers the deadly gambling crackdown, political betrayal, and phantom footsteps haunting New Albany City Hall.

3 NOV 2026 · Standing along Franklin Pike in Brentwood, Tennessee, the 1838 Mooreland Mansion holds nearly two centuries of Civil War trauma and restless spirits. After serving as an emergency hospital following the bloody Battle of Nashville—where family lore claims every white linen in the house was soaked in blood—the home became tied to the sudden death of young Isabella "Ruthie" Moore. Hours after celebrating her engagement in an elegant blue gown in December 1856, Ruthie was found dead in her room; buried in that party dress, she is said to still drift down the staircase as the "Lady in Blue." From disembodied whispers and basement laughter to computer keys clacking on their own, Allen Sircy explores the history, tragedies, and lingering hauntings of Brentwood’s Mooreland Mansion on this episode of Southern Ghost Stories.

2 NOV 2026 · In January 1876, the brutal murder of thirteen-year-old Lizzie Grombacher near Youngstown, Ohio, led to the swift arrest and conviction of young drifter Charles Sterling, based primarily on a bloodstained shirt. Proclaiming his innocence to the end—and even denying his own weeping mother to spare her the shame—Sterling died a horrific, agonizing death on a botched gallows, only for his sorrowful apparition to soon be seen pacing the Mahoning County jail. Nearly thirty years later, a revelation by a farmhand hundreds of miles away had investigators wondering the run wrong man had been hanged. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy examines the tragic case of Charles Sterling, exploring a botched execution, jailhouse phantoms, and the unquiet spirit of a potentially innocent man.

1 NOV 2026 · No, it's not Abe Froman. In this classic "From the Vault" episode of Southern Ghost Stories, host Allen Sircy revisits one of the most chilling and macabre true-crime sagas in Chicago history: the dark descent of Adolph Luetgert, the Windy City's infamous "Sausage King." After amassing a fortune supplying meat during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, Luetgert's enterprise plunged into deep financial ruin, sparking bitter marital disputes until his wife, Louisa, vanished without a trace in the dead of night. What followed was a sensational investigation that scandalized the nation when detectives uncovered small bone fragments and Louisa’s engraved gold wedding ring dissolved at the bottom of a factory potash vat, igniting lurid neighborhood rumors, séances, and spectral sightings of a weeping woman haunting the abandoned plant. Sircy unearths the greed, brutal forensic history, and eerie ghost lore that defined the 1897 scandal—and served as the direct inspiration for his book, The Sausage King.

30 OCT 2026 · Deep inside Evansville, Indiana’s Victorian Gothic Willard Library, a mysterious phantom known as the Lady in Grey has roamed the stacks for nearly ninety years.

Whether she’s founder Willard Carpenter’s daughter lingering over a lost family inheritance or a devoted librarian who refused to leave her post, her quiet presence refuses to fade. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy tracks the history, feuds, and eyewitness encounters behind Indiana’s most famous haunted library.

29 OCT 2026 · In September 1913, the dismembered remains of pregnant German immigrant Anna Aumüller washed ashore along the Hudson River, leading New York detectives to an ordained Catholic priest named Father Hans Schmidt. When questioned, Schmidt confessed to slitting his secret lover's throat, horrifying the nation by claiming God demanded a human sacrifice and alleging he drank her blood before tossing her severed remains into the water. Dubbed "The Vampire Priest," his trial exposed a tangled web of lies, counterfeiting schemes, and an explosive insanity defense that ultimately failed, making him the only Catholic priest legally executed in American history. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy examines the chilling case of Hans Schmidt, peeling back the sensational folklore to reveal the tragic human monster lurking beneath the collar.

28 OCT 2026 · Following the brutal 1896 murder of Aaron Beck, the Appalachian mining town of Helenwood, Tennessee, descended into an era of relentless bloodshed that earned it the grim moniker "Hell in the Woods." In 1897 alone, forty-seven people were shot in the streets as drunken shootouts, labor disputes, and even a local judge murdering a teenager turned the settlement into a mountain powder keg. The town's dark lore took an even stranger turn in 1921 when miner Cruise Sexton hauled a 500-pound, horned "petrified devil" from a nearby cavern, drawing nationwide spectacle shortly before a catastrophic dynamite explosion leveled nearly fifty buildings. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy concludes the bloody saga of Scott County, exploring a vicious frontier crime wave, an apocalyptic blast, and the bizarre legend of the stone demon beneath the mountains.
