Rissa Miller, our cherished folklore expert, returns to unravel the captivating evolution of Valentine's Day, from its shadowy Roman roots and stories of Saint Valentine to the pagan charms of Lupercalia. Discover how the Industrial Revolution sweetened the deal, turning Victorian chocolates into tokens of affection, and see how these traditions intertwine with our passion for the paranormal. Celebrate “Valoween” with us—a delightful fusion of love and haunting tales that captures the essence of these seemingly disparate holidays.
Our episode journeys through America’s haunted past, uncovering ghostly romances that defy time and tragedy. From star-crossed Mohican lovers in New York to the lingering spirits of Pennsylvania's Acomac Inn, these stories offer poignant reflections on love and loss. Travel with us to Ellicott City's Judge's Bench in Maryland, where the playful spirit of Mary enchants visitors, and revel in the rich tapestry of hauntings that weave love and the supernatural into the fabric of our history.
Venture into the mystical allure of New Orleans, where tales of haunted love continue to mesmerize. Encounter the tragic "bride under the bridge" and explore the notorious legacy of Lavinia Fisher in Charleston. Wrap up with the romantic saga of Thomas Rowell and Lucinda at Florida's Don CeSar Hotel, where their undying love echoes in the halls. As we celebrate Galentine's Day and Valoween, let these enchanting stories remind us of the enduring power of love, even in the realm of the spectral and unexplained.
