Following his death on February 16, 1893, Dr. Emile Overton Moore was buried in the Maple Hill cemetery, just north of his hometown of Helena; but, according to legend, Moore’s loyal canine companion, Pedro refused to leave his graveside after his interment.

This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired February 22, 2022. On the night of February 17, 1864, an immense explosion took down the USS Housatonic, a massive warship that was part of the Federal forces’ twenty vessel blockade of the Charleston harbor. Yet the destruction came seemingly out of nowhere, as eyewitnesses in the crew claimed their only warning was the sight of a dark cigar shaped vessel headed straight towards them. What they soon found out was that this sloop-of-war was the victim of the first successful submarine attack in modern warfare. Unfortunately for the crew of the H.L.

Hunley and why did it go down in the fight? Want to Listen to Southern Gothic Ad-Free?
