Content Warning: This episode contains themes of suicide and despair, presented through folklore and horror storytelling. Listener discretion is advised.

On the lonely prairies of South Dakota, legends speak of Walking Sam—a towering shadow said to collect the hopeless, stringing them like beads along his endless arms. Those who hear his whispers aren’t offered death, but something far more chilling: rest without release, an eternal march across the plains.

In this episode of Haunted American History, we dive into the unsettling folklore of Walking Sam, a figure rooted in Sioux legend and tied to real-world stories of despair. Blending atmospheric horror with history, this story explores the whispers of the tall man on the prairie and the haunting questions his legend raises.

If you’re drawn to creepy podcasts about American folklore, urban legends, and paranormal horror, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Deep in South Carolina’s low country, the legend of the Boo Hag has haunted generations. She’s said to slip into your home at night, stealing the very skin from your body before vanishing into the swamp. Most people tell the story as a warning.

But one man hears it as an invitation.

A former killer who once claimed his victims’ skins now stalks the Boo Hag herself, tracking the trail she leaves behind. For him, it’s more than folklore—it’s a way to feed the old hunger without drawing human blood. But in the humid dark, hunter and hunted blur, and the line between justice, obsession, and damnation disappears.

This episode of Haunted American History blends Southern Gothic atmosphere with one of South Carolina’s most chilling pieces of folklore. Perfect for fans of dark folklore, monster legends, and horror stories that walk the knife’s edge between man and monster.
