    93: New Orleans Vampire History: Legends That Refuse to Die
    Dec 28 2025
    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.

  • 87: Haunted Central City: Spirits Beneath the Gold

    87: Haunted Central City: Spirits Beneath the Gold
    Oct 10 2025
    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. From fatal mining accidents to the Lady of the Columbines, every grave tells a story of greed, grief, and lingering spirits.
    If you want to skip over the mine story that is more history than anything go to about the 39 minute mark. I dove deep because deep diving is what we do.
