Through the theoretical lens of the paranormal, some of the major problems that we will discuss in-detail are the detrimental effects of the legacy of slavery, social memory, and the commercialization of Black lives for entertainment.

Creepy, Occult, and Otherworldly Episode #3 of 4. Get a complete transcript of this episode at digpodcast.org. The Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana, is said to be one of the most haunted houses in the French Quarter. The extreme and shocking stories that are told about the Lalaurie house are egregiously exaggerated and overwhelmingly gloss over the real issues of race, gender, and violence prevalent with the institution of slavery. Yet, we still voyeuristically consume these types of ghost stories. In this episode, part of our “Spooky” series, we’re exploring the story of 1140 Rue Royal - it’s haunted history so to say - and delving into the events, the media coverage, and the urban legend that grew from the events that took place in the early morning hours of April 10, 1834.

If you're intrigued by the supernatural, or just like scary stories, a ghost tour can be a fun way to see a city and learn about its history. But ghost stories tend to be about people who experienced violence while they were alive, or had unfinished business that caused them to come back as a spirit. And we all know what group of people were historically subjected to violence in the American south. And that's how black trauma ends up repackaged as entertainment on southern ghost tours. Tiya Miles was visiting the Sorrel-Weed House in Savannah, Georgia, when guides presented the tale of Molly, who supposedly haunts the historic home. Molly was described as a "slave girl" who was the "mistress" of the home's patriarch, and was killed by his wife when she discovered their relationship. Not only is this a very real and very ugly historical phenomenon presented as entertainment, but the terminology implicates Molly in her own fate, wrongly casting her as a willing participant in a consensual affair. Tiya Miles is the author of “Tales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era." She joins us this week to talk about what she's learned about ghostly folklore, and how the story of Molly sheds light on what we tend to remember - and forget - about our history.
As we wait for the Haunted Biltmore episode to be released, we present to you Christopher Balzano’s interview with Craig Payst, the creator of North Carolina Ghost Stories (http://northcarolinaghosts.com) and Kentucky Ghosts and Monsters (http://www.kentuckyghosts.com/). Payst’s research into the ghosts of the Piedmonts in North Carolina was crucial in the planning stages of our recent Tripping on Legends Road Trip as we made our way through the state. Hear the episode of our journey through North Carolina as we explore three legends he presents on his site: http://triplegend.hipcast.com/deluge/triplegend-20170725015217-5483.mp3 What was meant to be a talk on some of the background of the sites quickly turned into a discussion on the nature of folklore, the changing face of storytelling, and the role of the paranormal and race relations in the stories we know and retell. Many of these ideas make an appearance, oddly enough, on Christopher’s appearance on Binnall of America a week later (http://host2.cyberears.com/31798.mp3).
