History Uncovered

Southern Gothic is a narrative history podcast that pays special attention to sound design to truly immerse you in the story, whether exploring the American South’s darkest chapters in history or recounting an infamous ghost story from decades or centuries past. From the Bell Witch of Tennessee to the haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Southern Gothic’s stories sit at the intersection of true crime, history, and the paranormal. This week, we’re presenting Southern Gothic’s episode on the Baynard Mausoleum of Hilton Head Island. The Baynard Mausoleum is the oldest surviving structure on Hilton Head, located just off the coast of South Carolina near the border with Georgia.The mysterious circumstances surrounding the Baynard Mausoleum – and the years of vandalism and thievery that have plagued it – have prompted deep local interest in this allegedly haunted mausoleum and the lore that surrounds it. https://www.southerngothicmedia.com/blog/sg102-baynard-mausoleum-hilton-head-islandcredits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-creditsHead to http://factormeals.com/historyuncovered50 and use code HISTORYUNCOVERED50 to get 50% off Factor, America’s #1 Ready-To-Eat Meal Kit.History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On June 21, 1947, Harold Dahl and his son Charles were gathering logs near the eastern shore of Maury Island, Washington in Puget Sound when Harold suddenly saw something strange in the sky above him. What looked like six, donut-shaped objects were suddenly hovering roughly half a mile above his boat, but before Dahl could even attempt to understand what he was looking at, a barrage of metal debris rained down on him. The men were flabbergasted by what they had just witnessed, but the story was just getting started, and what happened next may remain the most chilling part of the story. The next day, Harold Dahl claimed that he was visited by a mysterious man in a black suit who was able to describe his experience in eerily accurate detail. The man then told him, “What I have said is proof to you that I know a great deal more about this experience of yours than you will want to believe.”But just who are the Men in Black? While the 1997 Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones film might paint the Men in Black as “galaxy defenders” who stop extraterrestrial threats against Earth, those who claim to have encountered the Men in Black in real life describe them in a much more disturbing way. https://allthatsinteresting.com/real-men-in-blackcredits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-creditsHead to http://factormeals.com/historyuncovered50 and use code HISTORYUNCOVERED50 to get 50% off Factor, America’s #1 Ready-To-Eat Meal Kit.History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
