About this listen

Beneath the neon lights and boardwalk glitz of the Garden State lies a history stained by blood, madness, and the unexplained. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, we journey north to explore three chilling tales from New Jersey’s past: the reign of the Duck Island Shotgun Stalker, a predator who turned a swampy peninsula into a private hunting ground in the late 1930s; the industrial-scale horror of Dr. Henry Cotton, the "surgical psychiatrist" at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital who performed literal slaughterhouse procedures on his patients in the name of science; and the ethereal mystery of the Lady in White, a spectral figure that rose from the Atlantic City surf in the summer of 1899. From the reeds of the Delaware River to the decaying halls of the Kirkbride building, we examine the fine line between the monsters we hunt in the woods and the ones we allow to walk among us.
