In this chilling episode 8 of Vivid Nightmares, we dig up four Southern crimes buried under decades of silence.

— A Mississippi teen’s death ruled a suicide… but his parents say he uncovered a deadly secret.
— A respected diplomat murders his entire family, then vanishes into the Smoky Mountains.
— A Louisiana handyman smiles by day… and slays by night.
— A child held hostage in an underground bunker becomes the center of a national standoff.

These aren’t urban legends — they’re real. And the truth is more disturbing than fiction.

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
