Ep. 53 Haunted Houses and Stagecoach Mary

In this week's episode, Sandra talks about haunted house stories found on the popular website Reddit. Inspired by two listener stories, these stories range from weird noises to knocking to even a supposed haunted painting. Later, Danielles discusses Mary Fields, also known as Stagecoach Mary and Black Mary. She was the first African-American female star-route mail carrier in the United States. She protected the mail from potential thieves and even scared off a pack of wolves. Known for her proclivity for hard liquor and gunfights, she was a woman ahead of her time.   Sandra's Sources: https://www.letsgolouisville.com/haunted-houses-in-louisville-kentucky-indiana/ https://myfox8.com/news/north-carolina/the-top-haunted-houses-in-north-carolina/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9s9y1/i_lived_in_a_haunted_house_for_a_year/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ou84t8/what_is_your_my_house_is_haunted_story/ https://variety.com/shop/halloween-immersive-experiences-1235080269/ Danielle's Sources: https://blackgirlnerds.com/stagecoach-mary-crushed-stereotypes-and-built-dreams/ https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mary-Fields https://www.history.com/news/meet-stagecoach-mary-the-daring-black-pioneer-who-protected-wild-west-stagecoaches Credit to https://www.FesliyanStudios.com for the background music.
