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.

In a city where the veil between the living and the dead is paper-thin, even luxury comes with a ghost or two. From the restless spirits of the French Quarter’s grand hotels to the lingering echoes in forgotten boutique guest rooms, we check in to some of New Orleans’ most haunted lodgings - and uncover the stories that never quite left.

Part of our Four Shadows series, featuring original music by West Coast rapper and producer Tommy Jordan.

Step into The Night Menagerie, where the velvet curtains of 712 Orleans conceal a spectacle of terror. Beneath the glittering lights of a traveling show, a trapeze act ends in tragedy, and the roar of a caged tiger echoes through the night. This chilling tale explores the thin line between entertainment and nightmare in old New Orleans.

“Welcome to 712 Orleans. Step inside with us to hear one of New Orleans’ forgotten stories.

This small chamber opens the door to a wild past hidden behind art galleries and apartments.

Here, in the house that Tennessee Williams once called home during his time in New Orleans, we tell a tale of spectacle, spirits, and terror — the story of one of the nation's first menageries.

The Night Menagerie.”

“But the water of the Bayou hasn’t forgotten. It’s still hanging on to its hauntings.

For a moment, look down into the dark water with us? See if you can see what the residents of New Orleans have forgotten. That the Bayou St. John is as haunted as the French Quarter.

We just forgot.

But the water?

The water did not.”

[S6,E9: 'A STREETCAR NAMED OWL' IS LIVE!]

The iron wheels of the New Orleans streetcars have carried generations through the heart of the Crescent City - and not all their passengers have been among the living. Along the clattering tracks of St. Charles and Canal, whispers of spectral riders and echoes of tragedy linger in the night air. This haunting journey through the city’s veins is underscored by an original soundscape from West Coast artist Tommy Jordan, created exclusively for our Four Shadows series.

“What fate met those travelers?
Did they meet an unfortunate turn of events?
Struck down by distracted drivers like the Streetcar just narrowly avoided?
Or did they step off into another world, never to return?”

"A Streetcar Named Owl" drops this Friday!

“It’s a rainy night in New Orleans, and we are riding the St. Charles line together. Listen to the rumble of the 90-year-old cars. The wooden interior frames hold a deep history in their oak-slatted boards.

The night is wet. We’ve the window open and you can smell the Gulf air and the Mississippi.

We are riding the all-night car - the Owl car, as it’s called.

Tonight, we are chasing the hauntings of the Owl Car.”
