Blood on the Marble & the Ghost of William Taulbee

On this episode of Southern Ghost Stories we are talking about what happened on a freezing February afternoon in 1890, when the halls of American power became a slaughterhouse. William Preston Taulbee—the charismatic Kentucky politician known as "The Mountain Orator"—stepped onto the marble stairs of the U.S. Capitol, only to find himself staring down the barrel of a revolver. The man holding the trigger wasn't a political rival, but a volatile, five-foot-tall newspaper reporter named Charles Kincaid. Discover the brutal history behind the true crime that shocked Washington D.C. and the restless phantom said to still wander the corridors of the United States Capitol.

Before it was Ripley’s Believe It or Not, St. Augustine's Castle Warden was a luxury hotel that became the scene of a deadly 1944 tragedy.

In this classic epsidoe from the vault, we’re exploring the dark history, missing history, and paranormal history of the Schamberger Building in Gallatin, Tennessee.

The Tanyard Horror & the Ghost of Herman Schilling

In the autumn of 1874, a forbidden romance in Cincinnati triggered a wave of vengeance that culminated in one of the most gruesome crimes in American history: the Tanyard Horror. After a secret relationship with a saloon keeper's daughter ended in tragedy, young immigrant Herman Schilling was brutally ambushed by a grieving father and an angry cowrker, stabbed with a pitchfork, and shoved into a roaring tannery furnace. Long after the killers escaped the gallows, the ashes of Gamble Alley refused to cool, giving rise to terrifying folklore of a scorched, walking skeleton seeking eternal rest and an apparition that drove a desperate woman to madness. We're taking a deep dive into one of Cincinnati's forgotten ghost stories. Be sure to like, subscribe and leave a review!
