Just off the coast of North Carolina, along the outer banks is an area of treacherous waters where the cold Labrador current meets the warm waters of the gulf stream.

Nearly a hundred years before the modern spiritualism movement swept the globe and the infamous Fox sisters fooled a whole community with their toe-clicking séances, another ghostly phenomenon shook 18th century London.

And while on most days this wouldn’t really be polite conversation, this is The Lady D...

Clanking chains. The drip-drip of water. Little noises of rats scurrying by. A tour guide cracking a bad dad joke. These are the sounds of the Seattle Underground, the city under a city.

We are packing our bags and heading into the time machine so we can zip ourselves back to the 18th century. We’re headed to present-day Texas which was then Papaya territory—we don’t mean the tropical fruit that smells like vomit, but rather a tribe of indigenous hunter gathers.

The Papayans lived around what is now called the San Antonio River, and in 1731, a group of people all the way from the Canary island with a promise from th...
