What's big, weird, and extremely niche? The Grafton Monster! Hop in the Wayback Machine to join Charlie and Michael at @retconnc.bsky.social for a discussion of a VERY strange cryptid story local to Grafton, West Virginia! #cryptid #paranormal #podcast arcane-carolinas.libsyn.com/ac-00130-liv...

It was really, really nice getting back in front of the mics today. :)

Are you in or near #Durham, NC, USA, and want to hear friends & me talk queer horror? Then come to "Rainbow in the Dark" at Durham County Library (main branch, 6/25, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM)! I'll have copies of CHILDREN OF SOLITUDE! Register here: durhamcountylibrary.libcal.com/event/14458069 🌈📚 💙📚 📚🩸

Hey, y'all! Michael here! I've spent the last couple of months getting ready to move and then moving, and now things may be about to settle down for a bit. Can't wait to get back in front of the mic! And Charlie and I may have a new episode format to test out for occasional use!

Our final speaker at 6 pm - Charlie Mewshaw of @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social

Michael here! I hate to say it, but I again have to delay my talk at the SC State Library in Columbia! YIKES. Sorry! Everything is OK, there's just a confluence of life factors that mean I can't be there that day. We're talking now about dates later this year and I'll let y'all know!

Bertie County, NC, is a place of rural beauty--and possibly of an angry ghost engaged in some questionable parenting from beyond the grave! Join Michael and Charlie for a deep dive into the history of one of the state's oldest counties and a fun spooky legend! #podcast #northcarolina #paranormal

Got to record a couple of really fun episodes in a fancy studio this morning! #podcast

Ah, but will anyone ever be able to tell a generative LLM to gin up 125 episodes (and plenty more on the way) of deep-dive history, folklore, and friendship? (Lord but I sure hope not. Yikes.)

It’s the slow season at work, so I am listening to every episode of @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social again. Check out this podcast even if you don’t live in the Carolinas.

Hi everybody! Back to post about the awesome live episode that @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social put out from Ret-Con. It's about the Pope Lick Monster, which led to some interesting unrelated research results. But here's the relevant spookiness! arcane-carolinas.libsyn.com/ac-00115-ken... #podcasts

With a killer cover blurb from @rdansky.bsky.social, to boot!

Late on a rainy, foggy night, as you drive through the early settlement of Jamestown, NC, a young woman may flag you down in hopes of a ride to her home. Is there real history behind this well-known tale? #podcast #northcarolina #ghost #haunting arcane-carolinas.libsyn.com/ac-00125-lyd...

Now that Spooky Season for 2024 has drawn to a close, and Michael and Charlie have gotten a bit of a rest, let's... rewind time to the start of Spooky Season! Note: if you listen to the show with kids, the jokes in this are a little more risqué than usual, just FYI. #podcast #folklore #carolinas

Hey, y'all! Yes, Arcane Carolinas is on Bsky, we just previously didn't use it much. Happy to start doing so, especially if our hosting provider adds a Bsky integration for autoposting new episodes. #podcast #paranormal #folklore

St. Helena Island in South Carolina is home to one of the best-known and most reliable ghost light phenomena anywhere in the Carolinas! Join us as we dig into what this one could be: ghosts, swamp gas, or something even stranger? #podcast #paranormal arcane-carolinas.libsyn.com/ac-00088-the...
