Five German families moved to the area in March 1873; and by 1874, the town was incorporated and named after Colonel Cullmann. Over the next 20 years, Cullmann encouraged around 100,000 Germans to immigrate to the United States, with many settling in the Cullman area. In the 1840s monks from Metten Abbey in Germany, a monastery founded in 700 A.D., came to America, to minister to the growing German-speaking immigrant population.

Five German families moved to the area in March 1873; and by 1874, the town was incorporated and named after Colonel Cullmann. Over the next 20 years, Cullmann encouraged around 100,000 Germans to immigrate to the United States, with many settling in the Cullman area. In the 1840s monks from Metten Abbey in Germany, a monastery founded in 700 A.D., came to America, to minister to the growing German-speaking immigrant population. St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, became the first foundation of the German monks, and in the 1870s monks from St. Vincent were sent to Alabama to serve the needs of German Catholics. In 1891 those monks gathered to establish St. Bernard Abbey in Cullman, Alabama.

In 1964, he was elected sheriff of McNairy County, ss soon as he was elected, Buford Pusser threw himself into his work. He first turned his attention to the Dixie Mafia and the State Line Mob, two gangs that operated on the line between Tennessee and Mississippi.

But while the convent has good and holsom history pertaining to the nuns, it also has a much darker story, pertaining to the French girls, who were sent thousands of miles away from their homes, and transplanted to colonial America, to be saddled with husbands and tasked with the impossible, settle the land and tame the men. Oh and did I mention, that these girls might have also been blood sucking vampires, if the legends are true, they are still lurking around on the third floor of the old Ursuline Convent building, known as the Casket Girls.<br /><br />[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]<br /><br />TWITTER: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPod" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPod</a><br /><br />INSTAGRAM: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPod" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPod</a><br /><br />JARED'S TWITTER: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jared_ordis" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/jared_ordis</a><br /><br />JARED'S INSTAGRAM: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/jared.ordis" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/jared.ordis</a><br /><br />ORDIS STUDIOS PODCAST NETWORK & WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.ordisstudios.com" rel="noopener">www.ordisstudios.com</a><br /><br />[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]<br /><br />Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ <a href="mailto:ordisstudios@gmail.com">ordisstudios@gmail.com</a><br /><br />Researched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: Ghost City Tours [Truth Casket Girls] Wikipedia [Old Ursuline Convent, New Orleans] Old Ursuline Convent Museum [website] New Orleans Historical [824 Tour] 64 Parishes [Ursuline Convent] Wikipedia [History of the Ursulines in New Orleans] Folklore Thursday [The Casket Girls and Vampires of New Orleans] NY History [Settler Colonialism and Revolution, Settler Colonialism, Casket Girls] All That Interesting [Casket Girls]<br /><br />"Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production. <br /><br />This show is part of the Ordis Studios Network <br /><br />Copyright © 2021 by Ordis Studios<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ordisstudios.com" rel="noopener">www.ordisstudios.com</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/43972736</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2021 03:00:14 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/43972736/so_ep33.mp3" length="21153072" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Ordis Studios</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The old Ursuline Convent, was a series of historic convents in New Orleans, Louisiana.

As visitors find themselves wandering the rooms, packed with unnerving relics, which include: cults, sideshow freaks, true crime, UFOs, fraternal rituals, the occult, Victorian funeral practices, and roadside America attractions.<br /><br />[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]<br /><br />TWITTER: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPod" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPod</a><br /><br />INSTAGRAM: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPod" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPod</a><br /><br />JARED'S TWITTER: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jared_ordis" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/jared_ordis</a><br /><br />JARED'S INSTAGRAM: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/jared.ordis" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/jared.ordis</a><br /><br />ORDIS STUDIOS PODCAST NETWORK & WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.ordisstudios.com" rel="noopener">www.ordisstudios.com</a><br /><br />[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]<br /><br />Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ <a href="mailto:ordisstudios@gmail.com">ordisstudios@gmail.com</a><br /><br />Researched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: Atlas Obscura "Graveface Museum" Graveface Museum "Official Website" Roadside America "Story 68273" Wikipedia "Savannah, Georgia"<br /><br />"Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production.

Most cultures have accounts of human-like giants in their folk history, expressing a need for "some larger-than-life creature", each language even had its own name for the creature, and many of the names translated back to "wild man" or "hairy man". But while the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and many others have added Bigfoot to their American Bestiary, one within the deep Alabama woods, is by far different from the others. Residents in Northern and Central Alabama have reported seeing a creature roaming the dense woods & neighborhoods, these reports stated it was a giant, hairy monster covered in white fur, which ultimately gave the beast its name .."The Alabama White Thang".<br /><br />-----FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE-----<br /><br />Follow Southern Oddities on Twitter and Instagram, by clicking the links, or by searching @SouthernOddPod.

We never forget certain aspects of this biblical story....Adam and Eve wondering around the garden in the nude due to their innocence, God forbidding Adam & Eve from eating fruit from the "Tree of Knowledge", or how Eve was tempted by a snake to eat an apple, causing a disruption, Adam & Eve's disobedience against God.<br />While scholars and other archaeologists have never been able to find the Garden of Eden, one man , a preacher, thinks he found the "Garden of God", the earthly paradise, full of water & fruit, in the small town of Bristol, Florida. In the 1950s, Elvy Edison Callaway, a Baptist preacher, retired lawyer, and Republican candidate for governor, bought some land he believed to be the Earthly Paradise, and developed it into the "Garden of Eden" park setting off one of the most bizarre theories on the "Garden of Eden".<br />-----FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE-----<br />Follow Southern Oddities on Twitter and Instagram, by clicking the links, or by searching @SouthernOddPod.

We never forget certain aspects of this biblical story....Adam and Eve wondering around the garden in the nude due to their innocence, God forbidding Adam & Eve from eating fruit from the "Tree of Knowledge", or how Eve was tempted by a snake to eat an apple, causing a disruption, Adam & Eve's disobedience against God.<br />While scholars and other archaeologists have never been able to find the Garden of Eden, one man , a preacher, thinks he found the "Garden of God", the earthly paradise, full of water & fruit, in the small town of Bristol, Florida. In the 1950s, Elvy Edison Callaway, a Baptist preacher, retired lawyer, and Republican candidate for governor, bought some land he believed to be the Earthly Paradise, and developed it into the "Garden of Eden" park setting off one of the most bizarre theories on the "Garden of Eden".<br />-----FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE-----<br />Follow Southern Oddities on Twitter and Instagram, by clicking the links, or by searching @SouthernOddPod.
