  • Pistols, Pride, and Andrew Jackson

    Pistols, Pride, and Andrew Jackson
    May 5 2026
    In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, I dive into one of the wildest true stories in American history—the duel between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson. This isn’t just about two men with pistols; it’s a chain reaction of insults, pride, bad decisions, and pure Southern grit that spiraled completely out of control. I break down what really happened, the people involved, and how something as small as a horse race turned into a deadly confrontation that followed Jackson for the rest of his life. If you think history is boring, this one will prove you wrong.

    If you want to learn more about the duel, please check out my book, "Pistols at Red River". It is available over at Amazon.

  • Waverly Hills Sanitarium: Where Thousands Died… and Never Left

    Waverly Hills Sanitarium: Where Thousands Died… and Never Left
    May 1 2026
    Step into the dark history of one of America’s most haunted locations in this episode, where we peel back the layers of Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Long before it was a destination for paranormal investigators, it was a quiet Kentucky hillside that transformed into a sprawling medical complex to combat the "White Plague" of tuberculosis. We explore the transition from Major Thomas Hays' peaceful family farm to a site of desperate medical experiments, the grim reality of the "Body Chute," and the modern-day hauntings that suggest the past hasn't quite moved on. From the legends of Room 502 to the chilling investigative fragments of a nurse named Sara, this episode skips the sensationalism to look at the heavy, honest truth of a place where thousands fought to breathe—and some may still be lingering in the halls.

    You can find more on Wavery Hills and other Louisville folklore in "Southern Ghost Stories: Louisville."
    It's avaible over at Amazon.
