About this listen

Hauntings in the Piedmont is FOX8's podcast detailing tales of haunts in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad. From city employees experiencing what they describe as the "freakiest thing" they've ever seen, to spirits which seem to continue to make their presence known and a haunted bridge known nationwide, we talked with people who claim to have had firsthand supernatural experiences, as well as those who say they've solved decades-long mysteries. An idea which was originally intended to be a simple miniseries for television, this blossomed into a podcast simply based on the passionate storytellers you'll be introduced to. With minimal editing, these stories are told in their own words and largely uninterrupted, just in time for Halloween.

  • The Little Red Man and the Hauntings of Old Salem

    The Little Red Man and the Hauntings of Old Salem
    Nov 5 2020

    In episode four of Hauntings in the Piedmont, we head to historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Old Salem has largely gone unchanged since it was settled in the 1700's. To this day, people who live there need to use specific nails to rebuild damaged fences, and people continue to travel there to take a trip back in time. In a community where people are required to pay so much attention to detail, there are precise records, some of which prove there are real people behind some of the stirring stories still told there. We begin with the story of The Little Red Man but come to find his death isn't the town's only loss interlaced in legend.

  • Lydia's Haunted Bridge

    Lydia's Haunted Bridge
    Oct 29 2020

    Episode three of Hauntings in the Piedmont features what is often referred to as the most notorious ghost story the Piedmont has to offer. On a rainy night in June, 1923, a car was traveling on a windy road near a bridge in Jamestown, North Carolina, when that car flipped, killing one of its passengers. Ever since, folklore claims the ghost of that woman has continued to haunt that bridge, tugging at car doors as they pass by. As paranormal authors came to find, there was an actual deadly accident behind that story, and perhaps, the name behind what's come to be known as Lydia's Bridge wasn't Lydia after all.

    The Permanent Residents of the Biltmore Hotel
    Oct 26 2020

    In this episode of Hauntings in the Piedmont, we head to downtown Greensboro, North Carolina and the Biltmore Hotel Greensboro. Employees and visitors report odd happenings at the historic hotel to this day. The people thought to be behind those incidents died there in the 1930's. As General Manager Brian Coleman explains, they may have never left, but have caused plenty of people who check in to vacate the premises before checkout.
