  • Shadows of Jim Crow: The Atlanta Ripper and the Women the City Forgot

    Shadows of Jim Crow: The Atlanta Ripper and the Women the City Forgot
    Jun 14 2025
    Atlanta, 1911. Black women like Rosa Trice are turning up dead, again and again, and the city barely flinches. No headlines. No suspects. No justice. Just silence.

    But this episode? We’re dragging that silence into the daylight.

    Because when the history books forget… we remember.

    Throw in some zombies, a house that suspiciously vanished, and the kind of systemic racism that still hits way too close to home. And yeah, it gets real.

    Not your grandma’s ghost story.

  • The Devil's Dirty Dozen

    The Devil's Dirty Dozen
    Apr 30 2025
    Black cats. Broken mirrors. Spilled salt. Lucky charms stuffed in your pocket like a goblin.
    Superstitions aren’t just spooky little habits! They’re survival stories in disguise. In Episode 13, we crack open 13 infamous beliefs — the Devil’s Dirty Dozen — and trace the fears, rituals, and side-eye superstition that kept our ancestors alive (and kinda paranoid).


    From haunted mirrors to Hoodoo mojo bags, this episode explores the rituals we still cling to when life feels unhinged.

    Are they silly? Sacred? Or both?

    You may not believe in superstitions....but you still knock on wood, don’t you? 😏

  • A River Runs Greedy: The Johnstown Flood of 1889

    A River Runs Greedy: The Johnstown Flood of 1889
    Mar 26 2025
    Welcome to Gilded Age Pennsylvania, where steel tycoons are cosplaying wilderness men, the rich are allergic to accountability, and a 40-foot wall of water is about to become the worst “I told you so” in American history.

    It’s 1889, and the South Fork Dam is hanging on by literal straw while the sky dumps 10 inches of rain like it’s trying to make a point. When the dam breaks? Johnstown is erased in minutes. Fire. Barbed wire. Mud. Death.

    In this episode of Bygone Echoes, we uncover how a bunch of billionaires with zero engineering skills accidentally committed mass manslaughter—then just… ghosted. No lawsuits. No jail. Just yachts.
    This is a story of disaster, denial, and ducklings (yes, really). Featuring mattress-floating survivors, a brick house that didn’t stand strong, and the birth of American disaster relief—because someone had to clean up after capitalism’s tantrum.

    Greed caused it. The people survived it. History remembers it.

    Kinda.
