New Orleans is still one of the most vampire-obsessed cities in the world. What’s real? What’s just a story? And why do these legends refuse to die? In this episode, we talk about where New Orleans vampire myths actually came from—and why they’ve lasted so long. Daphne breaks down the story of an ageless vampire said to span centuries and continents, the legend of the Casket Girls, and how real local history blended with rumor to create the city’s dark reputation.

And of course she had to include a short true crime case involving a self-proclaimed vampire, adding a real-world layer to the myths and folklore.

Think the Biltmore Estate is just a fancy mansion with pretty gardens? Think again. We are going to peel back the velvet curtains on America’s biggest home.

Join us as we sip some imaginary champagne with George and Edith Vanderbilt, spill the tea on their Gilded Age drama, and poke around the halls where ghosts supposedly still throw parties. From hidden passages and mysterious deaths to the wild rumors that make Asheville locals smirk.
