Summary

The Deep South is a haunted landscape where dark tourism thrives, supplying spine-tingling thrills to eager visitors. But is there a darker truth behind these tales? Maddy and Anthony's guest today is Tiya Miles, author of Tales from the Haunted South.

Edited by Freddy Chick. Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
