Introducing: The Dark Histories Podcast

On the west side of Kingsport, Tennessee is Rotherwood, an old antebellum mansion overlooking the spot where the two forks of the Holston river come together. Today this red brick structure is privately owned, but according to local lore, it is home to more than just the living.
For the last half a century, stories have placed at least two spirits on the ground of Rotherwood Mansion. First is the beautiful “Lady in White,” Rowena Ross who is forever searching for her lost love who died before they had a chance to marry. Second is the notorious Joshua Phipps who is said to have delighted in the torture of his enslaved workforce and ultimately died a horrifying death. But what is the truth behind the legends of Rotherwood, we may never know.

The Cavalier Hotel's Haunted History

On the morning on February 9, 1960, a milkman pulled up to a small bridge over Turkey Creek, near Morrison, Colorado and quickly grew agitated by what sat in front of him. The bridge was blocked by an idling station wagon. The man honked his truck’s horn several times, hoping to alert the car’s driver of his presence and get him to clear the way, but after continued attempts, it was to no avail. Frustrated as can be, the milkman then hopped out of his truck and walked over to the vehicle, which he discovered was empty. Little did he realize that he had just discovered the car of Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors brewing empire, who had been kidnapped from that bridge over Turkey Creek. What followed was the largest search and manhunt since the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.

The Singing River of Pascagoula

In 1982, a backhoe operator preparing sturdy land for a suburban development near Titusville, Florida discovered a skull in the murky waters of Windover Pond. The county coroner was called, and the human remains were deemed to be old, but the question was how old? The shocking series of events that followed this discovery led archaeologists to uncover one of the most important archaeological sites in the United States-- a prehistoric burial ground over 7,000 years old.

Octavia Hatcher's Tragic Death

Since its grand opening on May 1, 1905, the Seelbach Hotel has stood as one of Louisville, Kentucky's most lavish and luxurious establishments. It has hosted an array of notable figures, from U.S. Presidents and legendary actors to notorious bootleggers and mobsters. As a result, the hotel is steeped in lore, with some claiming it was here that F. Scott Fitzgerald first encountered the inspiration for Jay Gatsby in the underground Rathskeller barroom, while others say Al Capone used the tunnels beneath the hotel to evade the law. Yet the most notorious resident of the Seelbach is the mysterious spirit of a lady in blue, an apparition as integral to its storied history as the men who helped build it.
