    In this episode, we travel back to 1898, when two lions halted construction of the Uganda Railway, terrorizing workers in colonial East Africa. Today, their preserved bodies stand at the Field Museum in Chicago, transformed from feared predators into museum artifacts. Join me as we explore the bloody legend, the colonial history behind the railway, and what it means to come face-to-face with these lions more than a century later.

    In this episode, we visit Chickamauga, GA where thousands of Civil War soldiers were killed or left to die in the woods. From that devastation emerged the legend of Old Green Eyes, a silent figure with glowing eyes said to roam the forest after dark. We explore the history behind the battle, the origins of the haunting, and why some believe something still lingers among the trees.
