Today, we journey into the misty, moonlit waters of Maryland to explore two of its most enduring and eerie legends. First, we’ll sail into the Chesapeake Bay, where a ghostly ship is said to appear, blazing with flames, carrying the spirits of lost souls doomed to wander the waters for eternity. Then, we’ll travel to the quiet roads of Port Tobacco, where the spectral figure of a loyal blue dog stands eternal guard over a hidden treasure, protecting it with an unwavering loyalty that transcends the grave. Join us as we unravel the chilling tales of the Phantom Ship and the Blue Dog, stories of tragedy, loyalty, and restless spirits that have haunted Maryland for generations.

In this episode, we dive into the murky waters of Louisiana's Barataria Bay, home to one of the most enduring legends of the Gulf Coast: the story of Jean Lafitte and his ghostly pirates. Jean Lafitte, the notorious French pirate-turned-folk-hero, built an empire of outlaws deep in the bayous, where he and his crew amassed unimaginable wealth by plundering Spanish ships. But Lafitte’s cunning went beyond piracy—he was a master of secrecy, and his treasure remains hidden in the Louisiana swamps to this day.

In the fall of 1903, the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, was shaken by a bizarre and terrifying encounter. Over several nights, multiple residents claimed to witness a strange winged creature—part bat, part man—with a glowing horn on its head and wings that spanned the night sky. Guns had no effect on it, fear spread like wildfire, and by the end of the week, the beast vanished into the depths of an abandoned mine, never to be seen again.

Was it a cryptid, a supernatural omen, or something not of this world? In this episode, we dive deep into the accounts from that eerie week, exploring the original newspaper clippings, eyewitness testimonies, and the theories that have emerged in the century since. Is the Van Meter Visitor a forgotten piece of folklore—or does something still lurk in the old mines outside town?
