Swamps & The Paranormal
Season 4, Ep. 23
•
This week's episode plunges into the mysterious depths of the creepiest and most haunting swamp locations. As two investigators who often find us immersed in swamp-like settings, we thought it would be thrilling to spotlight some of the most spine-chilling places brimming with paranormal activity.
In this episode, we delve into the eerie Great Dismal Swamp, Manchac Swamp, Honey Island Swamp, and Bear Creek Swamp. We'll uncover tales of ghostly apparitions, chilling urban legends, a Bigfoot-like cryptid, and a bizarre event from 2014, where 21 porcelain dolls were discovered impaled in one of these swampy areas.
Beyond the chilling accounts, we’ll explore the fascinating history behind these locations, share some personal insights, and ponder the forces that may make these swamps hotspots for paranormal occurrences. It's an episode packed with mystery, intrigue, and spine-tingling stories that you definitely don’t want to miss!
Small Disclaimer/ correction: In the episode we state that Drummond was the first governor of North Carolina which isn't entirely true. Drummond was the first governor of the Province of Albemarle which is now part of North Carolina. This was done under the Lords Proprietors in the 1600s during the colonial period before North Carolina was a state.
