We head out in the old west in the company of our good friend John LeMay as we search out some legends and lore of the frontier states. From the blood chilling story of the Headless Horseman of Texas, some rather terrifying vampire babies, a real life vampire flap from 1938, a ghostly black dog haunting the byways of West Virginia and the queen of vengeful ghosts, La Llorona. A big thank you to John as always for his company.

Disney almost had a Legend of Sleepy Hollow ride, in not one, but TWO different parks. In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we unearth some rare concepts for an Ichabod Crane-themed attraction by Imagineering—ideas that, much to our chagrin, never saw the light of day. We begin with a brief tour through the history of the Sleepy Hollow portion of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, highlighting some incredible concept art by Mary Blair. From there, we head over to Walt Disney World to investigate what happened to Ichabod in both Fantasyland and Liberty Square. Along the way, we explore architectural influences rooted in literary history, uncover the origins of a classic Haunted Mansion song, and learn the backstory behind a popular invisible dog joke. Kate also shares details about a little-known, never-realized land once proposed for Disneyland. Meanwhile, Kirk terrifies us with a bizarre attraction from Hong Kong and reveals some shadowy concepts that reflect his deepest wishes for Liberty Square. We end the episode watching the Headless Horseman ride into the sunset—along with our hopes for what could have been (and may never be) when it comes to seeing this eerie attraction brought to life in the Disney parks.Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!Kate's Youtube: @disneyciceroneYou can also find us on Instagram, Facebook, and at disneycicerone.com & walruscarp.comView full video versions of each episode at Disney Cicerone's YouTube channel HERE OR on the Spotify version of our podcast.Distory T-shirts and StickersKate's SubstackKate's books on AmazonWalrusCarp T-shirts & MerchMOWD app

The story that originally inspired The Local Mythstorian project and a tale quite unlike anything else in the British Isles! The Headless Horseman of the Staffordshire Moorlands is one of the best known pieces of folklore in the region, but where did it come from? Tracing the story of the horseman back through 650 years of local history, via Victorian ghost sightings and Arthurian literature, we uncover the shocking true story of medieval murder that lies at the heart of the spectre's inspiration.Mythstoric Journeys, the hardback anthology collection from Eli, is available here!Visit thelocalmythstorian.com
In this episode, Holidays After Dark turns St. Patrick's Day into an unexpected Halloween celebration by uncovering the Irish history behind the tale of the Headless Horseman known as Dullahan!

Adam Zurn has always had a passion for history. He is the founder of Uncharted Lancaster, a website that offers self-guided scavenger hunts. “I think when you live somewhere your whole life, you kind of take that local history for granted.” The idea for the scavenger hunts came into fruition about six years ago while Zurn was walking his dog. “A friend asked me this question that really forever changes my life. And she says, well, have you ever been to the cemetery in in Shanks Ferry? Because I walk my dogs on, you know, a low grade and then often into Shanks Ferry. If it's hot, they'll get in the creek and cool off. And I hadn't. And I said, well, where is it exactly? And she's, you know, I don't remember. It was like 20 years ago when I was there. But these tombstones date back to the 1700s. And a lot of them are German. And I was like, okay, you know, that's cool. I'm going to I'm going to find it.” The scavenger hunts are usually based around hiking trails, so participants can get some exercise while learning about local history. “I had such a neat experience looking for it and learning all of these neat little local history pieces in that area that I thought maybe other people would like to have a similar experience. And so, I kind of wrote up what I learned and created like my first self-guided, like scavenger hunt. And so, they would kind of go from place to place and they would answer a question or two or what kind of unlock the clue to go to the next place. And then at the end, I hit a box full of like plastic gold coins, and people go out still and find these plastic gold coins and, and have a fun little adventure over an afternoon, not over the course of weeks like I did it, but just over an afternoon, which is probably little more palatable for people.” Halloween is just a few weeks away, and Zurn already has plans to incorporate the spooky season into the adventures. “So pretty much every night on my Facebook and Instagram, like typically five and seven, I'm sharing at least two local ghost stories from around the area. And we have such a big, long list of though some very unique to the area and some, you know, that every area has like we have our own Headless Horseman story. You know, I think every community has one of those.” Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heads will roll... Directed by Tim Burton, Sleepy Hollow is the gothic supernatural horror film loosely based on Washington Irving's 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Luke and Nathan lose their heads over this 1999 adaption which stars Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. Ichabod Crane (Depp) is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.
Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version with all artwork created for the YouTube and podcast thumbnails: https://www.patreon.com/posts/112918234IN THIS EPISODE: If I say the words “headless horseman” it immediately brings up the image of a man on a black steed carrying a pumpkin instead of his head, chasing after Ichabod Crane. Washington Irving did a fantastic job of painting that picture for us. It's too bad headless horsemen legends are just that… legends. Well, that is, until they are not. (The Headless Horseman of Neuces) *** In 1970, two teenage girls were murdered at Denver's Lumber Baron Inn. Today their killer is still unknown — but some guests say the victims' ghosts still roam the halls. (Murder at the London Baron Inn) *** A man is well-liked and respected in his community… but then he acquires a love for alcohol… his personality changes… his family disappears… and suddenly, his community see him for what he truly is – a Wendigo. (A Wendigo Named Swift Runner) *** Unexplained murder cases are, sadly, a reality. But in most cases you at least know who the victim is, or who the murderer is. In the case of “Princess Doe” however, there is no identity for the victim, the murderer, and there is no reason anyone has found for the brutal crime. (The Unexplained Princess Doe Case) *** With so many television shows, movies, documentaries, and genre artwork, you might think you know just about everything there is to know about the Wild West – but there are a few stories that are so strange, you might think they came right out of the mind of a fiction novelist. (The Wild Weird West) *** Situated alongside Almaden Quicksilver County Park, Hicks Road has become legendary in San Jose, California for all the wrong reasons. If you even mention it in driving directions, you'll get a “No way, Jose!” response and a request for a different route. Hearing the stories about what makes Hicks Road so creepy might turn you as ghostly white as the supposedly Satan-worshipping albinos rumored to inhabit the area. It's the legend of Hicks Road.
