Discover the Stories that History Tried to Bury
"I tell the stories that history almost buried — the ones where the official record ends and the questions don't. Sometimes that's a woman murdered in 1904 whose husband's confession cleared someone who was never charged. Sometimes it's a colony that disappeared without a trace in 1590. Sometimes it's a nation that fought a war to end slavery and then spent a hundred years pretending it had been about something else. The common thread is that in all of these stories, something happened that the world is still not finished reckoning with. That's what makes a place haunted. That's what makes an era haunted. That's what I find interesting."
