Tonight we travel deep into the black water of the Florida Everglades to examine centuries of unexplained disappearances, Will-o'-the-wisps, and glowing spectral guides in the fog.

In this real-world historical case file, we examine the documented 19th-century sealed cellars and secret subterranean tunnel networks beneath historic Georgia. From Savannah's riverfront to old Augusta estates, we explore why these vaults were walled off—and the terrifying physical hauntings that erupt when modern restoration teams break through the brickwork.
