Citegeist is a paranormal history podcast exploring ghost stories and folklore through an archival lens. Each episode starts with a ghost story as it's typically told, then we dive into the archive for a ghoulish gossip sesh, digging through historic and archival records to uncover what really happened. You'll find that, oftentimes, the real history is stranger, and scarier, than ghosts.

Hosted by Joshua Spellman, archivist and librarian, who spends his days in the archive and his nights chasing down ghosts (in the historic record).

The Agitators tells of the enduring but tempestuous friendship of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Great allies? Yes. And at times, great adversaries. Young abolitionists when they met in Rochester, New York in the 1840s, they were full of hope and a common purpose. As they grew to become the cultural icons we know today, their movements collided and their friendship was severely tested. Follow these brilliant, flawed, and rebellious activists with host Ashley C. Ford. Their message still matters.

This six-part podcast is based on the play The Agitators; playwright Mat Smart used historical documents to imagine Susan and Frederick’s conversations. The Agitators is brought to listeners by the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission, the National Park Service, and PRX.

Hauntings in the Piedmont is FOX8's podcast detailing tales of haunts in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad. From city employees experiencing what they describe as the "freakiest thing" they've ever seen, to spirits which seem to continue to make their presence known and a haunted bridge known nationwide, we talked with people who claim to have had firsthand supernatural experiences, as well as those who say they've solved decades-long mysteries. An idea which was originally intended to be a simple miniseries for television, this blossomed into a podcast simply based on the passionate storytellers you'll be introduced to. With minimal editing, these stories are told in their own words and largely uninterrupted, just in time for Halloween.
