  • Navigating the Haunted Shores of Delaware: Coastal Specters and Cursed Legacies
    Dec 25 2023

    Have you ever felt the chill of a ghostly legend creep up your spine as you walk along a historic shoreline? That's exactly what happened to us, Brandi and John, as we strolled through Delaware's coastal enigmas and unearthed tales that have lingered since colonial times. Our latest episode takes you to the haunted landscapes of Cape Henlopen State Park, where the mysterious Corpse Lights flicker, and to the site where a cursed wedding led to tales of spectral shipwrecks. Together, we ponder the strange disappearance of a historical lighthouse, possibly claimed by that very curse, and reflect on the eerie similarities with the evolving shores of Myrtle Beach. Brace yourself for a journey into the heart of Maryland and Delaware's coastal mysteries, where even a leisurely beach walk can lead to a bone-chilling discovery—quite literally. We share our personal encounter with remnants of shipwrecks and lost settlers buried beneath the sands. The conversation takes a gusty turn as we recall the raw intensity of nor'easters, their names as memorable as their fury. Closing the chapter on Delaware, we recount spine-tingling sightings of otherworldly figures, setting us up for a seamless segue into Maryland's own tapestry of history and folklore. Join us, if you dare, and experience the haunts and legends that echo through these storied shores.

It's a festive exploration that promises to fill your stocking with laughter and maybe a few shivers, as we weave through the evolution of these stories from their dark origins to the more family-friendly versions told today. Then, buckle up as we take a detour into the world of winter folklore and age-old traditions with our jovial guest, Jimmy. From deciphering the true meaning of the Yule log to chuckling over the Welsh tradition of Mari Lwyd, we're riding hobby horses into a historical holiday hootenanny. Our jolly jaunt comes to a close with a lighthearted confusion in minuscule Delaware, proving that even the smallest places can hold the grandest of tales. So, join us by the fireside, dear listeners; this episode is our gift to you, wrapped in mirth and merriment. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good chuckle!
