Should you ever find yourself walking along a marsh or swamp in the darkest hour of the night, you may witness a haunting light over the still water. Over the centuries, it’s been called by many names—the French call it the feu follet, the English call it will-o’-the wisp or jack o’lanterns. No matter what you call it, one thing is clear—it’s the light of the wicked. 🖤Buy me a coffee🖤PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=KPQF5LMCAKW76Venmo: @fabledcollective https://venmo.com/u/fabledcollectiveMusic by Kevin MacLeod:Sovereign by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4397-sovereignLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseDespair and Triumph by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3641-despair-and-triumphLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseGhostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

On the isle of Hyde, all ghosts aren’t dead. Haunted by a past they fled and by a present so steeped in lore, truth can scarcely be deciphered. If tomorrow promised of a world without social media, television, and distraction, would you take it? Would you become a ghost of Hyde?——Join the community——Discord: https://discord.gg/Xjk5CpDPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective——Sign up for the Newsletter——http://eepurl.com/glvr6XMusic:Past The Edge by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4997-past-the-edgeLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseGhostpocalypse - 6 Crossing the Threshold Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

If you drive over the causeway from Savannah, Georgia to Tybee Island, you’ll notice a small lighthouse in the Savannah River. It captured my interest the first time I saw it. Often times, the lighthouse is inaccessible from neighboring Cockspur Island. Residing near Fort Pulaski, the tiny lighthouse has a fascinating history. And maybe even a few ghosts.YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZSDbinE-VHkdVu8njHHguQMusic:Stepping Stones by Megan Wofford.https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/oI4EJFT145/Folk Story by Trevor Kowalski.https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/ce4jBwr0Hm/Ghostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

The most horrible of monsters are those who prey on the weak, the sick. These angels of death strike when they're needed, when their patients cannot care for themselves. When medical professionals decide to harm, they turn their backs on all they’ve been taught. Such is the case of Jane Toppan, one of America’s first serial killers, who claimed to have murdered at least 31 people, perhaps as many as 100 from 1887-1901.-----Say hello!-----TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fabledcollectiveWebsite: https://www.fabledcollective.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fabledcollective-----Join the community——Discord: https://discord.gg/Xjk5CpDPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollectiveCover Image:Jane Toppan, Unknown author, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commonshttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jane_Toppan.jpgMusic:One Last Drama by Phillip Ayershttps://www.epidemicsound.com/track/6RrYpGunKv/Where No Man Has Gone Before by Dream Cavehttps://www.epidemicsound.com/track/PMF2aJELk3/Ghostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

The story of Marie Lafarge reads like a gothic novel. A well-bred, attractive woman living in a mansion in the country, married to a man she doesn't love, sounds like a tale we'd all like to read. And read, people did. Her case was one of the first trials to be followed by the public through newspapers. She was the first person to largely be convicted due to direct forensic and toxicology evidence.Music:“A Hoax” by Mary Riddle: https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/YgEoWTVfYv/Ghostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

William Faulkner chooses an interesting title for his story about a woman confined to her past. The story is filled with many symbolic references, but none as interesting as its title. “A Rose for Emily” allows us to explore what the upcoming events may entail. The title symbolizes Emily’s superiority to the town, her choice of seclusion, and the ultimate fall of her sanity and life.Though a rose may have its bloom, it still has its thorns.Music:Deep Relaxation Preview by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5726-deep-relaxation-previewLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseGhostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

Strange things were happening in Jonesville, LA, in 1938. Alice Belle Kirby was thirteen years old at the time and was described as having light wavy brown hair with grey-blue eyes. She was the seventh child of eight to farmers Leon and Mary Kirby.According to an article by the Madera Tribune, there were witnesses to Alice's ability to make tables move miraculously without effort and sometimes without touching them at all. She was able to make things float in the air, and she played the piano without touching it.Cover image from a newspaper clipping, shared here.

Our ancestors lived in perilous times, not knowing what would happen from one day to the next. They faced sickness, death, and suffering—the likes of which we can only imagine today. One of the only ways they found to protect themselves was through rituals, the practice of doing things in a particular order. In the same way, certain practices became superstitions—a belief that doing things in a specific fashion would lead to either a positive or ill-fated result.These superstitions have passed on from generation to generation, sometimes for centuries, through word of mouth and folklore. They have become ingrained in our cultures, in our personal mythologies. We often don't even question where they came from or why exactly we practice them.Or perhaps you aren't a subscriber of superstitions, having chosen to allow the scientific and rational thinking of the era we live in to override those "old wives tales" that belong to a different time in history.Either way, their background is fascinating. And you may find yourself saying… Well, just in case.Music:Deep Relaxation Preview by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5726-deep-relaxation-previewLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseGhostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

Robert Frost is one of the most widely respected and accomplished American poets of all time. His simple, yet profound, work has touched the minds and hearts of millions. His extraordinary use of language has offered numerous interpretations by readers, but a closer look at the poet's ideas helps in interpreting the underlying messages of his poetry. Careful analysis of Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and the Romantic philosophies that influenced him, help in understanding how the poem's themes of civilization, wilderness, and responsibility were reflected in Frost's own life and beliefs.Music:Deep Relaxation Preview by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5726-deep-relaxation-previewLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseGhostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

In the early 1800s, crowds gathered to witness the fasting woman of Tutbury, Ann Moore. It seemed remarkable, impossible even, that a woman could live without sustenance for years. Certainly, such a thing couldn’t be possible.
