LEGEND: The Casket Girls - Vampires or Victims?
Manage episode 339203613 series 2815964
Ain't No Such Thing is BACK after a one-year hiatus, with the story of The Casket Girls, "undesirable" women from the early 18th Century shipped from France to the U.S. Gulf Coast cities of Mobile, Biloxi and New Orleans for the sole purpose of providing mates to European explorers and fur traders, so that the Catholic population in the New World would propagate.
Over the centuries, rumor and happenstance left these women with a supernatural reputation, ultimately attaining their legendary status as actual vampiric undead.
Join Amanda, Jess, Erica and Kevin as we catch you up on where we've been for the past year and consider the strange, very real case of The Casket Girls
