New Orleans is still one of the most vampire-obsessed cities in the world. What’s real? What’s just a story? And why do these legends refuse to die? In this episode, we talk about where New Orleans vampire myths actually came from—and why they’ve lasted so long. Daphne breaks down the story of an ageless vampire said to span centuries and continents, the legend of the Casket Girls, and how real local history blended with rumor to create the city’s dark reputation. And of course she had to include a short true crime case involving a self-proclaimed vampire, adding a real-world layer to the myths and folklore. https://www.neworleans.com/things-to-do/history/the-casket-girls-of-new-orleans/ https://www.verylocal.com/ursuline-convent-casket-girls/20209/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vampires/comments/1gphajh/new_orleans_vampires/#:~:text=I%20briefly%20know%20the%20history,energy%2C%20someone%20who%20is%20toxic. https://www.americanghostwalks.com/the-legendary-vampires-of-new-orleans https://www

In the quiet hills of Central City, Colorado, lies one of the states most haunted cemeteries-and a dark legacy forged in the nearby Gold Rush mines. In this chilling episode Daphne and Gayle talk about mining disasters, tragic love tales and ghost stories.

85: The Texas Killing Fields... The Eleven... Part 2
Wrapping up this sad case. We hate an unsolved. There should always be justice for the victims and their families. In the second part we look into the man who claimed to be responsible for 11 of the 30+ victims found in the area known as the Texas Killing Fields. This guy at very least is total POS but probably is responsible for some of the killings. https://txtruecrimeblog.com/blog-archive/edward-bell https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_Bell https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/tenth-court-of-appeals/1994/1036.html https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Confessions-of-a-cold-blooded-killer-2187501.php https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/2017/10/18/243184/investigators-think-they-know-who-killed-eleven-girls-around-galveston-in-the-1970s-2/ https://people.com/crime/texas-edward-harold-bell-serial-killer-tv-series https://play.aetv.com/shows/the-eleven/season-1

84: The Texas Killing Fields... The Eleven... Part 1
This one sucks a lot. It is super sad and there's no resolution. WE LOVE THAT (not really)!!! The Texas Killing Fields is a big case with a lot of victims. In this episode we will focus on what was known as "The Eleven" it's a chunk of a what is definitely a much bigger s%#t show. This chunk is plenty to digest. Inspite of the awful and tragic story we hope you enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php/?story_fbid=103943838650800&id=103931088652075 https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Rhonda_Johnson_and_Sharon_Shaw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Killing_Fields https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/973/1198/386343/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/33354927/gloria_ann-gonzales https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21184575/kimberly_raye-pitchford https://www.newsweek.com/texas-killing-fields-victims-families-parents-netflix-1765359 https://www.chron.com/local/gray-matters/article/In-1974-two-Dickinson-girls-went-missing-Why-12305187.php

83: Black Eyed Children and White Eyed Children
So this one is super creepy. Our apologies, we had one of our dogs with us while we were recording and she's very loud lots of snorting and snoring happening. Then Daphne creeped me the f*&^k out and I lit some sage and the sage popped off like I've never seen sage pop off and we had to evacuate the recording space or risk dying of smoke inhalation. So this one ends abruptly. None the less GREAT job Daphne as I'm still having nightmares!!! https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Eyed_Children https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/White-Eyed_Children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-eyed_children https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/black-eyed-children-urban-legend https://www.quora.com/Do-you-believe-in-black-eyed-children-If-so-have-you-ever-had-an-encounter-By-this-I-mean-the-entirety-of-their-eyes-are-black-as-coal-No-whites-or-pupils-are-seen https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/White_Eyed_Child https://vocal.media/horror/white-eyed-children

82: The Scandalous Story of Virginia Rappe and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle
This is the one that over 100 years later is still up for debate. Roscoe Arbuckle and couple of his friends threw a party that would untimately lead to the death of Virginia Rappe and change Arbuckle's life forever. Alcohol, sex and fame make for great headlines. No exception here, during prohibition people still did as they always had, the taboo lifestyles of the rich and famous facinate the masses no matter the era add tragedy and it lives on forever. https://mail.murderpedia.org/male.A/a/arbuckle-roscoe.htm#:~:text=Rappe%20died%20three%20days%20later,to%20ease%20her%20abdominal%20pain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roscoe_Arbuckle https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/features/who-was-virginia-rappe-the-true-story-of-the-rising-career-and-shocking-death-of-a-1920s-star-and-the-fatty-arbuckle-trial-b405039.html

78: United States of WTF!... Part 2
Here we go again with two more wild stories from two states. First, we head to Arizona for the story of Slaughter House Canyon, the creepy legend that started back in the 1800's and has continued to live on. Then, to Alabama to hear the history of Maple Hill Cemetery and "The Dead Chilldren's Playground." This part of the episode is all based in fact which I think makes it all the more interesting as well a little bone chilling. Please DM us on Instagram or email us your personal ghost stories we would LOVE to hear them! https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/experiences/arizona/slaughterhouse-canyon-az https://puzzleboxhorror.com/the-ghosts-of-slaughterhouse-canyon/ https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/pandemicflu/1918-influenza-timeline.html https://hvilleblast.com/dead-childrens-playground-haunted-huntsville/ https://wearehuntsville.com/5-huntsville-ghost-stories/

So this one is really interesting. Daphne gives us an update on the infamous Alcatraz Escape from June of 1962. Pretty cool that there is new information about this escape by Frank Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin. Who would have thought that after all these years there could be any more to report... but there is! It's funny how when you look for one thing it can lead you into something you never knew about.
