By Candlelight – Episode 1

Diana of the Dunes: The Story of Alice Mabel Gray

In our very first episode, hosts Ashlin and Jay James take you to the shifting sands of the Indiana Dunes, where a woman’s legend has lingered for over a century. Alice Mabel Gray—better known as Diana of the Dunes—left behind a life of convention to embrace solitude, scandal, and mystery along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Who was Alice? A free spirit ahead of her time? A hermit? A tragic figure bound by love and circumstance? Her story is filled with whispers of ghostly sightings, untamed independence, and the haunting beauty of the dunes themselves.

Come sit by the candlelight with Ashlin and Jay, and explore how Alice Mabel Gray became a myth woven into Indiana folklore.
