Shadow Carriers Shadow Carriers: A Sonic Supernatural Story Telling Experience

In the crook of the tree trunk within the local cemetery of your town, there is a dark hole.

Welcome to Shadow Carriers - a podcast featuring a curated collection of disturbia assembled by two life long storytellers, sonically mixed to bring you into the darkness and out again. In that deep hole, a story lies. That story carries fears and wonder. It’s a Shadow. In the back of your unlit basement, a century old, you can hear a scurrying of clawed feet. This Shadow awakens. In the attic of

an abandoned house, a person is seen crossing back and forth in an impossibly lit window. This Shadow calls to you. Because you, like Zack A. Meyer and Orion Couling, are a Shadow Carrier. What is “Shadow Carriers”? It's a curated collection of disturbia assembled by two life long storytellers, sonically mixed to bring you into the darkness and out again. Each episode a summons of a thousand campfire stories and handed-down tales crafted to rouse and amaze you with their midnight hues and macabre chills

Zack and Orion have led investigations, walking tours, and curated museum story collections for more than a decade. They now choose to carry the Shadow directly to the abandoned graveyard of your mind. They invite you to sit with them in this shaft of moonlight and, if you are brave enough, to step into the Shadow with them.

“The watchman looked down in horror, then back up at the shattered window.

What was he to do? What had happened? What could have caused this wound?

He flagged down a fellow police watchman and had him run for his supervisor.

Knock knock knock on the door of the mansion on Royal and Ursuline. No answer.

The police called up to the bedroom. Rap rap rap.
No answer.

It was dawn when they decided to enter. What they saw wasn’t amorous. It was carnivorous.”

“It is a phenomenon well established that when authors become wealthy they become a bit eccentric, right? Keyes was one of the most successful authors of the American South in the 1940s. Well, Keyes collected antique dolls. Spanning centuries, their intricate clothing perfectly matching the era they came from. Little miniature girls frozen in porcelain. First a handful. Then scores. Finally, 178 of them!”

“You see, the spinning wheel that turns straw to gold had been spinning beneath the full moon along the Bayou St John. Down in the back of the Quarter, it’s been turning.

And this time it took cobwebs and turned them into silver with stories of a doll that wouldn’t…behave.

It whispered tales that she would get out of the glass case and be found in the famed author's bed. When the museum staff would come in they’d see her. Tucked in. Nice and cozy for a woman who long since didn’t rest there.”

[S6, E1: 'MEMENTO MORI' IS LIVE!]

Nestled in the heart of the French Quarter, 521 Dauphine Street looks like just another historic New Orleans home—until the past reaches out to remind you it never left. Behind its elegant facade lurks a history steeped in tragedy, betrayal, and restless spirits that refuse to be forgotten. Join us as we unravel the spectral secrets of Angel Xiques Mansion, where history refuses to stay buried, and the veil between past and present is frighteningly thin.

“There is a silent angel at 521 Dauphine Street.

She stands in an enclave, reserved, almost unassuming. Her presence all but muted by the building around her. A Greek revival townhouse built by a Spanish importer of to***co.

The angel stands as the remainder of a statue collection that used to adorn the home like the garden of the White Witch of Narnia.

All those statues are gone now.

Now just an angel remains.

Standing vigil. “

“Her mind was reeling now, attempting to grapple with the horror that surrounded her. She had to get out.

She dug her fingers in against the wall, wildly searching for some kind of an opening or a crevice. Nothing. The walls were as impenetrable as the darkness that surrounded her. Her body was shaking now with terror as she started clawing with her fingernails at the wall. Praying for some kind of give or some hope of escape.

But the stone walls only tore unkindly at her tender flesh and it took her several moments before she realized that blood had started to run down her palms and wrists as she tore and tore despairingly at the unforgiving surface.”

“To play the Midnight Man, you must begin by summoning him.

Begin by writing your full name on a piece of paper, and then prick your finger to let a drop of blood fall on the paper. This blood is your invitation—a signal to the Midnight Man that you are willing to play his game. Turn off all the lights inside your home and make your way to the front door. Place the paper at the threshold of your home, light a candle, and knock on the door 22 times. The final knock must come at the stroke of midnight. Then, open the door, blow out the candle, and close it.

Congratulations, the Midnight Man is now in your home.”
