    From The Vault: Suicide, Spirits, and Secrets at the Schamberger Building
    Jun 22 2026
    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. Built in 1905 to house the Sumner County Bank and Trust Company, this landmark witnessed decades of financial prosperity—and a tragic, abrupt ending for a bank president in 1940. Today, the building holds two massive secrets: a 100-year-old time capsule that completely vanished from the cornerstone, and a haunting presence that choked up a psychic who knew nothing of the building's past. From self-flushing toilets to mysterious underground tunnels right next door, we dig into why the Gallatin square remains one of the most active, unexplained spots in Tennessee.

  • The Tanyard Horror & the Ghost of Herman Schilling

    The Tanyard Horror & the Ghost of Herman Schilling
    Jun 19 2026
    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.

  • Colonial Park Cemetery's 10,000 Forgotten Graves

    Colonial Park Cemetery's 10,000 Forgotten Graves
    Jun 17 2026
    Step inside the iron gates of Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery, where over ten thousand bodies are packed into just six acres—with entire sections resting right beneath the modern city sidewalks. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, American Hauntstorian Allen Sircy reveals that the true darkness of this historic burial ground goes far beyond phantom children and Civil War desecration. Instead, it’s a deep dive into a bizarre historical circus involving two Revolutionary War heavyweights, Button Gwinnett and Nathanael Greene. From a fatal duel at dawn to lost graves, botched exhumations, and the skeletal remains of national heroes being fought over like political trophies—including one founding father who spent a temporary vacation inside a historian's spare bedroom—this episode proves that history in Savannah doesn't just stay buried. It gets weird, loud, and incredibly unsettled. Oh, and there might be a ghost story or two...
