In this episode of Dark Academy' Midnight Library Circle, we journey into the eerie realms of both fiction and reality. First, I review Salem's Lot (2024). I argue with myself for you. Then, we unravel three unsettling true stories. There's the case of Bobby Desmond, the young boy from Maine who disappeared without a trace. We explore the legend of Dudleytown, a so-called "cursed" ghost town in Connecticut where those who enter are said to never return the same, if at all. And finally, we travel to New Orleans to uncover the mystery of the Casquette Girls—virgin brides with a fangy secret-sent to the Ursuline Convent. We welcome you inside Dark Academy, but bewar, some stories have a way of following you home.  Chapters00:00 Opening story01:52 Warning02:41.70 Announcements04:41 Welcome Midnight Library Circle05:41 Salem's Lot Review10:17 Missing Children11:10 Robert “Bobby” Desmond15:27 Abandoned Towns16:11 Dudleytown Intro17:19 Warning17:52 Dudleytown24:38 Final Fright 31:04 Closing Announcements and Farewell

"If you are one of those people who loves vampire lore, then today's episode is perfect for you– it is the story of the Caskett Girls– an old New Orleans legend that claims the first Vampires to come to America did so right here in the Crescent City– And the place where they kept their coffins, well it's open for tours." The Old Ursuline Convent sits at 1100 Chartres Street in the heart of New Orleans's French Quarter. It is the oldest surviving building in the Mississippi River Valley; and as such, it is a stunning example of the architecture of the French colonial period in the United States. Today the Convent is no longer home to the Ursuline Order of Sisters, but rather is a part of the Catholic Cultural Heritage Center, alongside the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, and is open for tours several days a week; however, according to New Orleans legend, it is also the home to one the city's most enduring pieces of local lore. A tale that claims the very first vampires to ever come to America once called the Ursuline Convent's attic home. Want to Listen to Haunted New Orleans & Southern Gothic Gothic Ad-Free?

Today's podcast has two topics: the miraculous staircase of the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the vampires of New Orleans.  Both of which are linked, oddly enough, by their relationship to nuns.  

New Orleans is considered the No. 1 haunted city in the USA — the dead people outnumber the living 10 to 1. The city has the highest missing persons rate and a steep murder rate.When Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne claimed New Orleans, the Native Americans told him the area was used as their burial ground, and any city placed atop of it would be cursed. The city has since experienced its fair share of diseases, fires and hurricanes.With tales of vampires and voodoo queens, the city has become a drawcard for the curious and macabre. We are travelling to New Orleans this October and are staying right in the French Quarter. One of the oldest buildings standing in that part of the city is the old Ursuline Convent building, and as much as the nuns of the order were focused on the spiritual wellbeing of the people something, very weird caught the attention of the city dwellers back in the 1700's, that was so terrifying that no one dared venture out at night for fear of death.Myth?Legend?Truth?Whatever - we all love a great vampire story and this one comes from the home of vampires in the USA - New Orleans itself.LOVE OUR WORK?Consider supporting our work by buying us a "cup of coffee" https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataORbecome a Grand Poobah Patreon supporter, and join our inner circle of craziness!https://www.patreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

529.  Stephen and Bruce give their presentation over the Ursuline Correspondence. In the summer of 1804, the Mother Superior or the Ursuline Convent, Therese de St. Xavier Farjon, wrote a petition signed by all the nuns in the convent to President Jefferson, asking his assurance that their property be protected by the Unites States government, so that they could continue their mission of educating girls in New Orleans. Gov. Claiborne sent a cover letter supporting their request, which Jefferson granted in his reply. This correspondence gives us an important insight into the transition of Louisiana from having a state-sponsored church under the French and Spanish to a United States territory with separation of church and state. The Catholic church had been the sole one to be allowed to operate legally in the colony. It had not only the blessing of the government, but was also funded by the government. Jefferson had written to the Danbury Baptist Association that he believed the first amendment established "a wall of separation between Church & State." In his letter to the Ursulines, Jefferson does not mention the wall, but he does promise that the government will protect their property and their mission. But they would have to learn to survive without government funding and to co-exist with all the other religious institutions the government was protecting. This week in Louisiana history.

Today we will be covering a devout method of hearing the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (Part iii) taken from: The Ursuline Manual, or a Collection of Prayers, Spiritual Exercises Etc. Interspersed With The Various Instructions Necessary for Forming Youth to the Practice of Solid Piety Originally Arranged for the Young Ladies Educated at the Ursuline Convent, Cork.  From Communion to the End of Mass Divine Lord! thou hast at length satisfied the earnest desires of my heart. I possess thee, I embrace thee ; make me entirely thine. Jesus ! thou who constitutest the happiness of the blessed ! is it possible that thou art at this moment present in my heart ! Yes I firmly believe that I possess thee, with all the treasure of thy merits. O most sacred Virgin! who so long bore, and so fervently loved the God I now possess, praise and magnify his goodness. Offer him for me those joys which filled thy pure soul at the moment of his incarnation in thy sacred womb, and assist me to make some return for his un-bounded mercies. Remember, divine Lord! that one visit from thee would suffice to sanctify the greatest sinner: permit not then that I should receive thee in vain; let not thy precious blood fall on my heart, without producing therein the fruits of virtue thou hast so long expected. Take me out of life this moment, rather than permit me to relapse into sin. Adorable Lord of heaven and earth! thou beholdest in my heart thy beloved Son ; he is all mine; his abundant merits belong to me at this moment. I offer them to thee, my God ! and in return I ask for the most ardent love, sincere humility, and above all, the grace never to offend thee by any mortal sin.  After Communion I return thee my most fervent thanks, amiable Jesus ! for the blessing I now enjoy; I praise and glorify thee with all my soul, for the numberless favours I have received from thy goodness and liberalrty. 1 adore thee now reposing in my breast, my God and my All ! a thousand times welcome! most gracious Lord Jesus Christ ! how sweet, mild, and merciful art thou to all those who invoke thee : for when I had no being, thou didst create me ; when I was thy enemy, thou earnest from heaven to redeem me ; and because without thee I was helpless, thou hast given me thy sacraments, with numberless graces, to fortify my weakness, and facilitate my salvation ; but to crown all thy favours, thou givest me thy own body and blood for the nourishment of my soul. Thou shouldst retire from me, because I am a sinful creature, — dust and ashes, — the destined food of worms; — yet thou comest expressly to visit me, and take possession of my whole soul. Lord, my God, how wonderful is thy name throughout the earth ! What return shall I make to the Lord for all he has given to me ? that thou wouldst fill my lips with praises, that all the days of my life I may sing forth thy glory and celebrate thy wonderful works. Bless my God for me, ye Angels and Saints ; thank my Lord for me ; love my Jesus for me ; and sing forth his praises to supply for my deficiency. Beauty ever ancient and ever new! Too late have I known thee, too late have I loved thee. When shall the time come, that, disgusted with all earthly things, I shall seek my happiness in thee alone, and find rest to my soul ? heavenly manna ! O adorable sacrament ! inestimable pledge of God's love to mankind ! standing memorial of Christ's passion and death! inexhaustible fountain of divine grace! boundless mercy ! divine charity ! sacred fire ever burning and never decaying ! Hail, merciful Jesus ! my only happiness and delight ! the joy of my soul, and my portion for ever ! May my soul be sensible of thy adorable presence, and may I taste how sovereignly sweet thou art in the sacrament of thy love. Purify my heart, divine Lord ! from the dross of all earthly affections ; enable me to curb my vicious inclinations, and to withstand the dangerous attacks of my infernal enemy — deign to bestow on me those virtues that will render me pleasing in thy sight, particularly ardent charity, profound humility, heroic patience, and perfect obedience. ! may I prove the extent of my gratitude by the most constant fidelity in thy service, and may I rather die than ever again offend thee by any mortal sin. that I could have the happiness of seeing thee loved and faithfully served by all creatures. Vouchsafe to let the light of thy countenance shine upon those who are in the darkness of infidelity ; and dispel their errors, that they may embrace the truth, and faithfully practice all it requires. Grant peace and union to all Christian Princes, and preserve us from the dreadful scourges of war, famine, and pestilence. Convert all those who are in the unhappy state of mortal sin, and reconcile those who are at variance. Have mercy on my parents, friends, benefactors, and enemies, and mercifully grant them all the graces they stand in need of. Reform all abuses, and remove all scandals from thy Church. Comfort all that are under any affliction, sickness, or violence of pain. Support those who are under temptation; protect such as are in danger; and grant the grace of a happy death to all those who are in their last agony. Extend thy mercy likewise to the souls of all the faithful departed, and mercifully admit them to the enjoyment of thy eternal glory. Grant to us all relief in our respective necessities, remission of all our sins, the grace of final perseverance, and life everlasting.  Amen.

Interspersed With The Various Instructions Necessary for Forming Youth to the Practice of Solid Piety Originally Arranged for the Young Ladies Educated at the Ursuline Convent, Cork.  At the Preface Permit not, Lord ! that my mind should wander from the consideration of the adorable mysteries now celebrating on this altar. Enlighten my understanding, inflame and animate every affection of my heart, that I may be attentive to these miracles of mercy and love. give me to understand the breadth, and length, and height, and depth (Ephes. in. 18) of that love which will soon veil thy glories under the humiliating forms of bread and wine ! that my heart were penetrated with ardent love, that I might be enabled to acknowledge less unworthily thy infinite greatness and boundless mercies. Prostrate in spirit before that throne of glory where the cherubim and seraphim, with all the heavenly host, adore thy awful Majesty, I implore thee to receive my homage, in union with the transports of admiration and love with which they incessantly proclaim that thou art Holy, Holy, Holy, and that the Lamb  which was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction, forever and ever. Amen. — Apoc. v. 12.  From the Canon to the Elevation Ah ! my God, why do I not sigh for thy coming on this altar, with as much ardour as did the ancient patriarchs and prophets ; with as much pure desire as thy blessed Mother, the first and most perfect adorer of thy sacred humanity. I offer thee my heart, soul, mind, strength, desires, and affections, in union with the admirable dispositions of thy saints; but particularly in union with the love and devotion of that incomparable Virgin, in whose pure soul, prepared by thy divine spirit, and adorned with the treasures of thy grace, thou didst delight to dwell. I offer thee, to atone for my coldness and tepidity, her sacred heart, with all the love with which it ever was, and for all eternity will be, animated. I offer thee her heavenly contemplations, her purity, profound humility, and sufferings at the foot of the cross ; beseeching thee, through her intercession, to pardon the iniquities of her unworthy servant. And thou, O most sacred Virgin ! obtain for me a share in the holy dispositions that adorned thy soul from the moment of thy immaculate conception ; since I am also destined for the residence and sanctuary of  God. assured refuge of sinners ! I address thee with the most lively confidence, beseeching thee to obtain that I may be worthily replenished with him who was born of thee — with him who is the desire and expectation of all nations.  At The Consecration O Jesus! brightness of eternal light, unspotted mirror of God's Majesty! My sovereign Life, and only Good ! thou art He whom I have so long, so ardently desired ! He whom I acknowledge for my Lord and my God, and who alone art worthy of the homage and adoration of men and angels. Monarch of heaven and earth! mighty in word and work! (Luke, xxiv. 19.) Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Saviour, (Isaiah, xlv. 15 ;) but the shades which conceal thy majesty, are those of the tenderest love. Divine Jesus ! thou art now glorified by the homages of numberless angels who invisibly assist at these sacred mysteries. how should their adorations and love confound and humble me, since it is not for them, but for me, that thou art hidden and degraded on the altar ! holy Angels ! blessed spirits ! love and adore the Almighty for me, and redouble your ardours to supply for my insufficiency.  From the Elevation to the Pater Noster Adorable Jesus ! the happy moment is fast approaching, when that sacred body which was immolated on the cross will abide in my heart, and that precious blood which was shed with so much anguish for my ransom, will be really and truly applied as a sovereign remedy to my soul. My God ! is it possible that thou, whom the heavens cannot contain, will confine thy greatness within the narrow limits of my heart; that thou, before whom the angels themselves are not pure, will unite thyself to a soul like mine, disfigured and defiled with innumerable crimes ! Lord, with the most sincere conviction of my wretchedness, I protest with the centurion, that I am not worthy thou shouldst enter under my roof. — St. Matt. viii. 8. Shall I then say with St. Peter : Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful creature? — St. Luke, v. 8. Shall I depart from this sanctuary, which I am unworthy to enter, and relinquish that happiness, for which my soul sighs, but which I shall never merit ? Ah ! no, my divine Saviour ! I will not leave thee, for to whom should I go but to thee? Hast thou not invited all that labour and are heavy laden (St. Matt. ix. 28) to approach thee! Therefore, not- withstanding the miseries of my soul, I come, perfectly convinced that if thou wilt thou canst make me clean. — St. Matt. viii. 2. I am weak, but thou wilt be my sovereign strength ; I am poor, but thou wilt adorn my soul with the riches of thy grace ; thou wilt destroy my pride, by the force of thy profound humiliations in the centre of my soul ; thou wilt warm my tepidity, by the fire which thou camest on earth to enkindle, (St. Luke, xii. 49 ;) thou wilt communicate to me thy divinity itself, that I may not live, but that thou mayest live in me. Come, then, my God ! the desire of the everlasting hills, (Gen. ix. 26,) the friend of sinners, the comfort of the afflicted, the hope of all the ends of the earth, (Ps. lxiv. 6.) come into my house, and let salvation enter with thee, (St. Luke, xix. 9 ;) come, that my soul, united with thee, may magnify its Lord, and my spirit rejoice in God, my Saviour. — Ibid. i. 46, 47.  From the Pater Noster to the Agnus Dei Father of my soul, who residest in the highest heavens, and yet attendest to the wants of thy children on earth, behold thy prodigal but repentant child, who returns to thee, penetrated with regret for ever having sought to shake off that yoke which thou thyself hast pronounced to be sweet and light — St. Matt. xi. 30. Pardon me, my divine Benefactor ! for thou knowest the clay of which I am formed ; thou rememberest that I am but dust.^ — Ps. c. 11, 14. Forget my criminal abuse of thy mercies, for the sake of Him in whose name I dare to address thee, as my Father, my Friend, and only happiness. Give me thy divine spirit, that spirit of love and adoption, which will cause me to have recourse to thee in all my necessities. Give a docile, obedient, and submissive heart, that thy supremely just and adorable will may be the rule of all my actions. But, above all, O divine Lord! give me the bread of life, the food of immortality ; give me thy divine Son ! give me him in whom thou wert always well pleased, (St. Matt. iii. 17,) that being instructed by thy wisdom and thy word, I may never deviate from the respect and love due from a child to the best and most indulgent of fathers.  From the Agnus Dei to Communion Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world ! let me not be excluded from a share in thy universal mercies. Cleanse and purify my soul; adorn it, I entreat thee, with those virtues which will render me less unworthy of participating in the food of angels. Adorable Jesus ! I am, it is true, wretched and unworthy; but hast thou not denominated thyself the Father of the poor ; and shall not that endearing title encourage me to recur to thee, as to my Father, and the best of friends? Yes, my God, I will go to thee, for thou well knowest that had I the heavens and the earth at my disposal, I wonld sacrifice all, rather than forego the happiness I am now going to enjoy. What have I in heaven, and besides thee what do I desire upon earth ? Thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion forever. — Ps. lxxii. 25, 26.  Amiable Virgin ! thou who art styled by excellence Blessed among women, show thyself now my tender mother and powerful advocate ; obtain for me the grace to receive with faith, purity, fervour, and humility, the divine object of thy ardent love. Blessed spirits ! you who unceasingly attend, love, and adore the Almighty Being I am about to receive, intercede for me at this awful moment, and supply by your ardent charity for the tender devotion with which I would wish to receive my Redeemer under my roof.  At the Confiteor O divine Redeemer of my soul ! into thy sacred heart I cast all my offences ; they arc not more numerous than thy mercies, nor can they equal the tenderness of that love which invites me to receive thee. Jesus ! veiled as thou art, I acknowledge thee for my Lord and my God; I adore thee with all the powers of my soul and I fervently love thee with my whole heart.  The Latin Prayer Podcast Patreon is finally up and running - for those of you who are able to financially support the podcast please Click Here (https://www.patreon.com/thelatinprayerpodcast).

Today we will be covering a devout method of hearing the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass taken from: The Ursuline Manual, or a Collection of Prayers, Spiritual Exercises Etc. Interspersed With The Various Instructions Necessary for Forming Youth to the Practice of Solid Piety Originally Arranged for the Young Ladies Educated at the Ursuline Convent, Cork.  From the Beginning of Mass to the Gloria Divine Jesus ! Mediator of the New Testament I who didst ascend into heaven, to appear in the presence of God for us, (Heb. ix. 24.) yet daily descendest on our altars, to renew that sacrifice by which we were all redeemed, mercifully penetrate m y heart with a just sense of the happiness and the advantage of assisting at a sacrifice, by which I can abundantly satisfy the justice of God, honour his divine Majesty, acknowledge his infinite mercies, and obtain the graces necessary for serving him on earth and enjoying him in heaven. Permit me, O divine Jesus ! to ascend this new Calvary with thee, that my whole soul may do homage to the greatness of thy majesty; that my heart, with all its affections, may acknowledge thy infinite love; that my memory may dwell on the admirable mysteries here renewed; and that the sacrifice of my whole being may accompany that which thou art about to offer. Alas! I am unworthy to join with thy minister in adoring thee ; I can neither feel the extent of thy blessings, nor acknowledge them as I ardently desire to do; but, O Lord ! be thou with me, that by thee, and with thee, I may worthily assist at these tremendous mysteries. From the Gloria to the Epistle SAVIOUR of my soul! how sweet is the hope, that thou hast absolved me from my transgressions : that thy sacred blood has washed them away ; and that thou art about to seal my pardon by the most precious gift thou canst possibly bestow. DIVINE Lord ! let this encouraging hope be realized ; say to my soul, that thou art her salvation. With the fervent penitent of the gospel, I cast myself at thy sacred feet ; let me hear with her, from thy own adorable lips, the consolatory sentence of peace and mercy; let me experience with her, the conviction that thou hast accepted my repentance, and granted me pardon. Alas ! I well know that I have neither her humility nor her contrition, her fervour nor her love to offer ; but, my God ! I venture to say, that my hopes are established on still surer grounds than would be those virtues, were I happy enough to possess them. If many sins were pardoned her, because she loved thee much, still greater crimes will be remitted to me, because thou hast infinitely loved me, a wretched creature. adorable Jesus ! in thy love and mercy I firmly trust ; deign then to do for me what is altogether above my strength and capacity; purify my soul, and prepare it for the reception of thy life-giving sacrament. At the Epistle & Gospel I believe, my God! every article proposed by the holy Catholic Church to my belief; and through thy grace I am disposed to die, rather than relinquish the precious gift of faith, which elevates me to the adoption of the Sons of God, and makes me heir and joint-heir with Jesus Christ. Eom. viii. 15, 17. I believe; O divine Lord ! penetrate my heart and soul with the entire import of these short but comprehensive words, and let them produce one of those prodigies of grace and conversion, which so often followed from similar confessions. I believe all thou hast revealed, without exception or reserve ; for thou hast the words of eternal life, and thou art likewise the way and the truth, St. John, 30 xix. 6. On thy unerring word I also most firmly believe that thou art really present in the august sacrament of which I am about to participate. what miracles are contained in this sacred and ever adorable mystery ! Incomprehensible as they are, I believe them all ; I adore thy omnipotence, which is a sufficient pledge of their possibility ; and thy boundless love proves to me, in an endearing manner, that they are real. Were my faith as animated as I hope it is sincere, my heart would be inflamed at the near approach of its heavenly guest, and every movement of my body and soul would be a transport of gratitude and ardent love. Come, then, Lord! thou art the God in whom I firmly believe. Come, for thou art the support and term of my hope, and thou art, by excellence, the adorable object of my most fervent love. Come, enliven and increase in my soul the divine virtues infused therein on my admission into the bosom of thy Church. Come, and purify my baptismal robe, that I may present myself before thee with a nuptial garment, and may not deserve to be excluded from the marriage feast. Atthe Offertory Receive, Lord, this spotless Host, which thy minister offers thee in the name of thy Church. Receive, eternal Majesty, this oblation of bread and wine, which will soon become the body and blood of Jesus Christ, who, to render thee in the name of weak mortals the adoration thou meritest, vouchsafed to clothe himself with our miseries — to become susceptible of death, and to immolate himself daily on our altars as the precious victim of our salvation. omnipotent Lord ! behold me at thy feet loaded with miseries, and charged with innumerable debts, which would overwhelm me, were I not provided by thyself with a treasure of infinite value to acknowledge thy mercies, to satisfy thy justice, and to obtain for myself and others the graces thou desirest to bestow. Animated with the most lively confidence in the merits of my Redeemer, I offer thee once more his sufferings and death ; and I make this offering for the great ends for which he instituted this adorable mystery. I offer thee this sacred Victim to adore thee as my God, to testify my love for thee, my Sovereign Benefactor ! to thank thee for the blessings thou hast bestowed on all mankind ; to implore thy mercy on behalf of all those in a dreadful state of mortal sin, and to obtain the deliverance of the suffering souls in purgatory. To this offering: I unite an unreserved oblation of my whole being, and I desire to do so with the most generous and ardent love. I entreat thee, my God ! by the perfect oblation of my divine Saviour on the altar of the cross, to pardon my past ingratitude, and to grant me the inestimable grace of preservation from all mortal sin. But, my sovereign Benefactor ! how shall I thank thee for the precious gift of thy body and blood which thus enables me to satisfy my obligation! This gift, which the homage of angels and men would be insufficient to acknowledge, can only be repaid by itself. I then offer thee my Redeemer himself, as a sacrifice of praise, and pay my vows to thee, (Ps. cxv. 18,) in union with him in whom from all eternity thou wert well pleased.

In the center of the French Quarter down in New Orleans sits a convent kept behind a wall with a legend centuries old. In the late 17oos a group of girls stepped off the boat from France into the streets of this wonderful city. With them came rumors, mystery, and curiosity which is still spoken about everyday on a haunted city tour. Is it true? Is it legend? We want to believe. Either way, I don't want to see those shutters open...

In 1834 Boston's growing Irish Catholic immigrant community met the fiery resistance of a suspicious native Protestant Yankee mob. The Ursuline Convent and School in Charlestown (now Somerville) was burned to the ground following strange rumors of women being held captive and even murdered behind the walls. But Bostons Irish would not be deterred and rose from the ashes in a triumphant symbol that can still be seen today. "The Ursuline Convent had been a longtime dream of one of the first Catholic priests in Boston. The Rev. John Thayer wanted to help his impoverished parishioners by bringing Ursuline nuns to teach the city's poor Catholic girls. The Ursulines were pioneers in women's education, and their first-rate schools in Europe attracted both Catholics and Protestants." (massmoments.org) "Many bizarre tales were circulating at the time about sisters who had escaped from the “horrors of the cloister.” Although these accounts were later proven false, they were generally believed by the working classes." (historicipswich.org) "The rioters shattered the convent's windows, broke down the front door, and burst into the building. They went on a rampage, destroying furniture, musical instruments, books, and religious items, and then set the building on fire."

Join us I n this week's episode as we discuss chem-trails. We've all seen them in the sky. Tiny plains releasing tons of cloud like substance into the atmosphere. Just what are they releasing is the big question. Could it be toxic chemicals designed to subdue the minds of the people for possible mind control or perhaps metals that allow scientists to control the weather. The answer is still a mystery. We'll also be discussing vampires, particularly from New Orleans. We'll learn a little about the casket girls who resided in the Ursuline Convent and two vampire brothers who ravaged their victims in the night by drinking their blood.

The old Ursuline Convent, was a series of historic convents in New Orleans, Louisiana. Which housed nuns from the Ursuline Convent of Rouen in Normandy. King Louis the 15th of France, decided that the nuns should go to New Orleans to establish a hospital for the poor sick people and to provide education for young girls of wealthy families. But while the convent has good and holsom history pertaining to the nuns, it also has a much darker story, pertaining to the French girls, who were sent thousands of miles away from their homes, and transplanted to colonial America, to be saddled with husbands and tasked with the impossible, settle the land and tame the men. Oh and did I mention, that these girls might have also been blood sucking vampires, if the legends are true, they are still lurking around on the third floor of the old Ursuline Convent building, known as the Casket Girls.[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]TWITTER: www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPodINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPodJARED'S TWITTER: www.twitter.com/jared_ordisJARED'S INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/jared.ordisORDIS STUDIOS PODCAST NETWORK & WEBSITE: www.ordisstudios.com[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ ordisstudios@gmail.comResearched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: Ghost City Tours [Truth Casket Girls] Wikipedia [Old Ursuline Convent, New Orleans] Old Ursuline Convent Museum [website] New Orleans Historical [824 Tour] 64 Parishes [Ursuline Convent] Wikipedia [History of the Ursulines in New Orleans] Folklore Thursday [The Casket Girls and Vampires of New Orleans] NY History [Settler Colonialism and Revolution, Settler Colonialism, Casket Girls] All That Interesting [Casket Girls]"Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production.

This week we’re discussing the riots and destruction of Charlestown’s Ursuline convent, which we first covered back in January 2017. This episode touches on themes of xenophobia, anti-immigrant prejudice, and religious intolerance - lessons we can all learn from today.  On a hot summer's night in 1834, rumors swirled around a Catholic girls' school in Charlestown.  Catholicism was a frightening, unfamiliar religion, and Catholic immigrants were viewed with great suspicion.  People said that the nuns were being held in slavery, or that Protestant children were being tortured and forcibly converted.  A crowd gathered, and violence flared.  When the sun rose the next morning, the Ursuline Convent lay in smoking ruins.  Thirteen men were tried, but none served time. What deep seated biases led Yankee Boston down this dark road?  Listen to this week's episode to find out! Show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/122 Patreon: http://patreon.com/HUBhistory

Welcome to part one of our inauguration special. On a hot summer’s night in 1834, rumors swirled around a Catholic girls’ school in Charlestown. Catholicism was a frightening, unfamiliar religion, and Catholic immigrants were viewed with great suspicion. People said that the nuns were being held in slavery, or that Protestant children were being tortured and forcibly converted. A crowd gathered, and violence flared. When the sun rose the next morning, the Ursuline Convent lay in smoking ruins. Thirteen men were tried, but none served time. What deep seated biases led Yankee Boston down this dark road?

Narratives of American history are often centered around the idea of oppression and liberation, with groups such as ethnic minorities, women, and workers struggling with, and (at least to some degree) overcoming prejudice. Perhaps because of American understandings of their country as a shining beacon of religious liberty, ideas of people facing prejudice because of their religion often recede to the background. In her book, The Nativist Movement in America: Religious Conflict in the Nineteenth Century (Routledge, 2013), Dr. Katie Oxx shows, through an exploration of anti-Catholic, Protestant nativism, how religion could play a key role in marking a community as “dangerous” and leading another community to oppose it, even with violent means. Oxx, in a careful exploration of three such moments, the burning of the Ursuline Convent in Charlestown, the Philadelphia Bible Riots, and the destruction of a stone that Pope Pius IX donated for the construction of the Washington Monument, foregrounds religion as an important cause behind these historical events, while also showing how class and gender could play roles as well. In addition to her fascinating treatment of these issues, Oxx also includes a number of primary sources, making this work not only interesting in its own right, but also ideal for inclusion in a course on American religious history.
