The Best Little Whorehouse in South Carolina

Join the Wicked South Podcast crew as they interview David Hodges, an author who has spent years uncovering the secrets of Sunset Lodge and its amazing stories, including the unbelievable tale of an errant husband who got "trapped" when his angry wife showed up at the front door – and how he "escaped."

Headless Horror in Colleton County

The remains of a human head were discovered in rural Colleton County this week, and police are searching for the missing body in a bizarre case that has captured media and public attention. But this is not the first time a human skull – with no body – has been found near Walterboro, S.C., the town that hosted Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial.

Other skeletal remains and unsolved murders also haunt this area of the 14th Judicial Circuit, where the criminal justice system was once ruled by the Murdaugh family of solicitors.

What’s going on in that swampy, mysterious corner of South Carolina?

Seton, Matt, and Michael travel back in time to when North American rivers ran red with blood to bring you a “potluck” of Native American tales of murder, massacre and betrayal that helped shaped our history here in the Southeast. Here is what you’ll hear: 

• King Hagler of the Catawba Nation is assassinated, and his grave plundered by robbers, but justice is served in the form of torture, target practice and scalping. 
• Facing an impossible debt of more than 100,000 deer skins, the Yamasee go on a bloody rampage from Savannah to Charleston and almost destroy the entire colony of South Carolina. 
• After several Native Americans in a drunken stupor are “mangled” in a “barbarous” manner, the Royal Governor of South Carolina receives a surprise gift at his doorstep: a bag of severed heads.
