  The Mary Celeste: Why Did Everyone Abandon Ship?

  Sep 25, 202612 min

  In 1872, the Mary Celeste was found sailing the Atlantic without a single person aboard—but the evidence suggests her captain, family, and crew didn't simply vanish. They left the ship. So what convinced ten people to abandon a vessel that was still capable of sailing? May opens the file on the real Mary Celeste mystery, the theories involving water, alcohol and a missing lifeboat, and the later legends that turned a maritime mystery into one of history's most famous ghost-ship stories.

  Isabella's Curse: The White Lady of Belhurst Castle

  Aug 12, 202616 min

  Every castle has its secrets. But Belhurst Castle, perched above the dark waters of Seneca Lake in upstate New York, has one that refuses to stay buried. She is Isabella — a beautiful opera singer who fled her old life for a forbidden love, only to meet her end in a tunnel meant to save her. Tonight, The Dark Folio revisits her story: the desperate escape, the collapsed passage, and the white-gowned figure still seen drifting across the castle grounds and along the lakeshore. Some legends fade. Isabella has not.
