This episode of Southern Gothic originally aired on March 5, 2021.When the Civil War drew to a close, the United States’ railway networks, particularly those in the Southern states, were in shambles. During the Reconstruction era, the rehabilitation of the southern rails and expansion of transcontinental railroads became a major undertaking, and as the importance of the railroad rose.In the three decades after the Civil War over 170,000 miles of track were added to America’s railway system; it opened the western states for further settlement and reestablished the accessibility of the southern states. The accomplishment required a considerable workforce, and railway companies became a significant employers of thousands of men finally freed from enslavement.The work was dangerous, physically intensive, and time-consuming. It’s unknown exactly how many men lost their lives to injury or illness while expanding the nation’s railroad system during Reconstruction, but the legacy of these men lives on in one of the most enduring folk heroes in American history…the ballad of John Henry, the steel-driving man.Want to Listen to Southern Gothic Ad-Free?Patreon: Ad-Free Episodes, Premium Releases, Bonus Content & More Southern Gothic Premium on SpotifySouthern Gothic Premium on Apple PodcastsInto History: History Without InterruptionConnect with Southern Gothic Media:Website: SouthernGothicMedia.comMerch Store: https://www.southerngothicmedia.com/merchPinterest: @SouthernGothicMediaFacebook: @SouthernGothicMediaInstagram: @SouthernGothicMediaX: @SoGoPodcastAdvertise on this podcast: [email protected] more about your ad choices.

In October 1872, a small Georgia community was bursting with visitors and curiosity seekers in an attempt to discover the truth behind mysterious happenings at the family home of Allen Powell Surrency.
In what many consider to be one of the most documented ghost story in American history, the Surrency family home seemingly became the epicenter of a destructive entity. From the benign—doors slammed open and closed and objects floated above the ground, to the life threatening—a child thrown from bed and another beaten by unseen hands.
Today, proponents of the paranormal say that the events in 1872 have the marks of poltergeist activity. The cause of such activity at the Surrency House remains a mystery.
