You're going to be here. Welcome to the new episode of American Hauntings, the podcast dedicated to the history,

haunting legends and lore of America's past.

So is hosted and produced by Cody Beck and written performed by Troy Taylor.

That's me.

And we are now nearing the end of our fourth season on in New Orleans.

If you're tuning into the podcast for the first time,

we suggest you start listening to the haunted New Orleans season

with episode 53, which is where this season begins

and where we set the stage for the many dark tales ahead.

In each episode of the season, we revealed the history, mystery,

spirit, scandals, and sins of New Orleans,

a city we believe is the most haunted in America.

This is the third part of our series

within a series, Dead Men Do Tell Tales, and while we've left the vampires behind

this time, I think you'll find that we have even worse things hiding under your bed this

time around so get ready for a painful episode of haunted New Orleans. Oh, I'm not. vampires, ghosts, monsters, and an assortment of murderers.

All of them have roamed the streets of New Orleans at one time or another

and have become part of the city's spookiest lore.

Well, some of these boogie men that we'll be talking about tonight, from the needle men to the gown man to hugging Molly,

have sometimes even caused more fear than killers have,

and that's largely because they conjured up some very bad memories of the past,

especially when it came to the night doctors.
