Pedro and the Prophetic Dream
Following his death on February 16, 1893, Dr. Emile Overton Moore was buried in the Maple Hill cemetery, just north of his hometown of Helena; but, according to legend, Moore’s loyal canine companion, Pedro refused to leave his graveside after his interment. Out of respect for that beloved canine, Moore's family placed a statue of Pedro at his grave, making it one of the most infamous memorials at Maple Hill... although, the local lore surrounding Dr. Moore's death is actually a little darker and more mysterious than that heartwarming suggests.

Mystery of the Confederate Submarine H.L. Hunley
This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired February 22, 2022.
On the night of February 17, 1864, an immense explosion took down the USS Housatonic, a massive warship that was part of the Federal forces’ twenty vessel blockade of the Charleston harbor. Yet the destruction came seemingly out of nowhere, as eyewitnesses in the crew claimed their only warning was the sight of a dark cigar shaped vessel headed straight towards them. What they soon found out was that this sloop-of-war was the victim of the first successful submarine attack in modern warfare. Unfortunately for the crew of the H.L. Hunley, who carried out this historic mission, the Confederate submarine did not make it back to shore, giving way to a century old mystery– what happened to the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley and why did it go down in the fight?

John Henry: Steel Driving Man
This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired on March 5, 2021.
When the Civil War drew to a close, the United States’ railway networks, particularly those in the Southern states, were in shambles. During the Reconstruction era, the rehabilitation of the southern rails and expansion of transcontinental railroads became a major undertaking, and as the importance of the railroad rose.
In the three decades after the Civil War over 170,000 miles of track were added to America’s railway system; it opened the western states for further settlement and reestablished the accessibility of the southern states. The accomplishment required a considerable workforce, and railway companies became a significant employers of thousands of men finally freed from enslavement.
The work was dangerous, physically intensive, and time-consuming. It’s unknown exactly how many men lost their lives to injury or illness while expanding the nation’s railroad system during Reconstruction, but the legacy of these men lives on in one of the most enduring folk heroes in American history…the ballad of John Henry, the steel-driving man.
