The Legend of Evil Witch... Soap Sally

The Savannah Underground
About this episode

Watch Us Investigate The Mars Theatre LIVE! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastAppalachia is packed with terrifying tales—but today we’re lathering up the cleanest legend of them all: Soap Sally.

We trace this Southern boogeywoman from mill-town wash lines and lye barrels to modern ghost tours, explore why parents warned “be home by dark… or Soap Sally will get you,” and unpack how these stories doubled as cautionary tales. Madison Timmons, Chris Soucy, and JT connect Soap Sally to wider folklore (hello, Baba Yaga), talk lye-soap chemistry and why it burns, and share a wild Thomaston, GA lead about “Goat Hill” and three ominous kettles. Plus: why villains in old tales often started as women who wouldn’t conform—and what that says about the culture that created them.We’re also investigating the Mars Theater on Sept 29. We’ll stream ~2 hours publicly, then go all night with our Parajunkies on Patreon.

Want the full hunt? Join here: Got a hometown legend (Soap Sally, Bunny Man, Cropsey—bring it on)? Drop your small-town folklore in the comments and we may do an episode on it. ghostmail@hauntedcitypodcast.com
