American Shadows is a bi-weekly podcast from iHeartRadio and Aaron Mahnke’s Grim & Mild. The show focuses on the darker stories from American history: the people, places, and things that are hidden and forgotten in the shadows. From better-known tales like the conspiracy to steal Lincoln’s body, to less-known stories, like the rainmaker who flooded San Diego. Join host Lauren Vogelbaum as she spans two centuries of omitted lore from our country’s history books.

0:05.6 | curiosities have scoured the globe to bring you tales from the past with a hint of darkness. |
0:10.6 | From superstitions and folklore to the curious and the bizarre, they gave you a front-row |
