Today I'm going to tell y'all about a Blues musician who may, or may not, have sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in rural Mississippi way back in the 1930s. Almost 100 years later you can still listen to him play guitar and sing. To read today's transcript you can visit the website ..read more

Hey, y’all, and welcome to Southern Macabre. I’m Aeryn and I am so glad that you could join me today. I hope you’re having a fantastic week so far. Mine has been good. My birthday was last week and one of our cats surprised us with four kittens. We’re working on naming them since most people who want cats already have them so we’re figuring we have four new cats. I’m hoping to convince the kids to let me name one Edgar Allen Poe, but only my oldest child really appreciates his work. Anyway. Today we’re going to talk about mental health and I’m going to tell you about a hospital in Tuscaloosa ..read more

Hey, y’all and welcome to Southern Macabre! I’m Aeryn and I’m so glad that you could join me for Paranormal Wednesday. I always do a lot of research for an episode, but it is so difficult to find stories that haven’t been told a hundred times.   I don’t usually let y’all into my process, but today I’d like to. For Valentine’s Day, my husband bought me a bottle of Choco-Vine, Dutch chocolate red wine. I can’t recommend it enough, it’s like chocolate milk with a fiery finish. What I can not recommend is drinking Choco-Vine while watching hauntings on YouTube as you fall asleep. Good dreams ..read more

Hey, y’all, and welcome to Southern Macabre! I’m Aeryn and I’m so glad that y’all could join me for True Crime Friday! Today’s case is crazy and it took me a long time to actually find information about it, even though I know this case well. Stick around for the surprise ending!   -----   It was July 2, 2006, which was a Sunday. My husband and I were going to a small Baptist church in Sperryville, Virginia with a couple of our friends who were newlyweds. I worked with them in Shenandoah National Park and my husband and I would spend every evening with them. Anyway, as soon as we park ..read more

Hey, y’all, and welcome to Southern Macabre! My name’s Aeryn and I’m so glad you decided to listen today. Today’s Missing Person Monday is different because we are talking about victims of a serial killer who have never been found or haven’t been identified. For those who don’t know, Samuel Little confessed to murdering 93 people all over the United States between 1970 and 2005! More than 60 of his confessions have been matched to victims through DNA evidence and/or extensively corroborated interviews. Little had a photographic memory and could accurately describe his victims and where he met ..read more

Hey, y’all and welcome to Southern Macabre! I’m Aeryn and today is Missing Persons Monday. Since it’s so dang cold in most of the south, I thought we would travel down to the Sunshine State, known for its citrus, Disney World, and the Golden Girls. I’m not going in any particular order with these cases and all of their pictures will be on our Facebook page like last week. There are a lot of missing people in Florida, about 1,600. Obviously I can’t talk about all of them in one episode, I wish I could. I chose eight cases where foul play is suspected and, at times, proven. Several of these case ..read more

Hey, y’all, and welcome to Southern Macabre! I’m Aeryn and I’m so glad you tuned in today! This episode was a lot of fun to research and write so I think you’re going to enjoy it. It may even be a little bit educational, but in a fun way.     Are cryptids paranormal? Absolutely! A cryptid is a creature whose existence has been suggested, but lacks scientific fact. The definition of paranormal is denoting events or phenomena such as telekinesis or clairvoyance that are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding. Each of these creatures, like haints and ghosts, make amazing ca ..read more

Today we’re going to visit a small community in West Alabama that just completed their first murder trial in over seventeen years. Before I tell you about Ms. Keisha Turner, I want to apologize for not posting an episode on Wednesday. Y’all know I’m not originally from Alabama so I don’t know all of the nicknames for places. That happened with a very spooky, sad haunted location I have been researching for two weeks. I finally know what I’m talking ..read more
