• The Devil You Knew: Family Ties, Betrayal, and Bloodshed
    Jun 28 2025

    In this gripping episode of Vivid Nightmares, we dig deep into three Southern crimes buried under decades of silence, suspicion, and fear.

    — A pastor’s family is murdered on prom night. The son goes to the dance. Thirty years later, he’s convicted with no forensic evidence.
    — A young woman disappears from a Georgia mall. Days later, her credit card is used in North Carolina. By someone signing her name.
    — A pregnant wife and her toddler son are beaten to death. The baby is born — and killed too. Years later, a drifter confesses. But is he telling the truth?

    These aren’t stories pulled from novels. These are real. Raw. And every minute will stay with you.

  • The women were feared for their power and remembered for their curses
    Jun 6 2025

    We dive into the hidden histories of southern women branded as witches, exploring the conjurers, root workers, midwives, and healers whose legacies live on in Southern folklore despite attempts to bury their stories and silence their power.

    Julia Brown of Frenier, Louisiana, whose prophecy "I'm gonna die and take the whole town with me" came true when a hurricane destroyed the town on the day of her funeral.

    The Witch of Yazoo City, Mississippi, who cursed the town to burn 20 years after her death—and whose grave remains chained to this day.

    Molly Dyer of Hood County, Texas, whose burning death created a haunted hillside where her spirit still manifests.

    The influential Root Doctor of the South Carolina Low Country whose powerful hoodoo practices earned both fear and respect.

    New perspectives on the famous Bell Witch haunting that suggest it may have been about female power, not supernatural entities.

    Mama Dell of Monroeville, Alabama, a mysterious midwife who vanished when threatened, yet whose presence is still felt in the swamps.

    If you enjoyed tonight's episode, share it with someone who's got crystals in their car, a tarot deck in their bag, and isn't afraid of a little swamp smoke. Send your own haunted family tales to vividnightmarespod@gmail.com or find me on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok @VividNightmaresPod.

    May 30 2025

    Electroshock, ice baths, straightjackets… and silence.

    In this chilling episode of Vivid Nightmares, we step inside the South’s most infamous asylums and state hospitals. Once meant to heal, these institutions became nightmarish places of confinement, cruelty, and—some say—eternal unrest.

    We uncover the disturbing histories and ghostly legacies of six forgotten facilities, where the cries of the lost may still linger in the halls:

    • 🏚️ Central State Hospital – Georgia

    • 🧠 Old Bryce Hospital – Alabama

    • 🕯️ Lakeland Asylum – Mississippi

    • 🩺 Tennessee State Hospital – Tennessee

    • 🧊 Florida State Hospital – Florida

    • 🫥 Eastern Louisiana State Hospital – Louisiana

    With a mix of historical records, firsthand accounts, and haunting legends… this is one descent into madness you won’t forget.

  • Blood in the Salon, Silence on the Highway, and Hate in the Streets
    May 14 2025

    They vanished. They were silenced. They were gunned down.
    Three lives. Three tragedies. One unforgettable episode of Vivid Nightmares.

    In this installment, host Bridgett Densie uncovers the truth behind three chilling cases from America’s dark past and present:

    🔸 Lillie Belle Allen – A 19-year-old Black woman gunned down by a white mob in 1969 while visiting family in York, Pennsylvania. What followed was decades of silence — until justice was forced to speak.

    🔸 The Florence Salon Murders – In 2001, three women — Dorothy Harris, Brenda Patch, and Cynthia Paulus — were found brutally slain in a small-town Montana beauty salon. Two men were indicted years later, but no one has ever been convicted.

    🔸 Terrance Williams – In 2004, a 27-year-old man disappeared after being taken into custody by a Collier County deputy in Naples, Florida. No arrest. No body. No answers. Just silence where there should have been truth.

    These cases span generations, states, and systems — but they all share one thing: someone tried to erase them.

    🎙️ Listen now to Vivid Nightmares: Vanished, Silenced, and Gunned Down.
    Their stories deserve to be heard. And remembered.
