Fearmongering on the High Seas: The Life of Blackbeard

Episode 16,   Nov 14, 2023, 08:00 AM

Blackbeard has inspired generations of storytelling in his own right. From the 1718 novel On Stranger Tides to the 2015 Hollywood movie Pan - a stylized prequel to a better-known novel, J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. In the movie, the character of Blackbeard takes center stage, serving as the main antagonist. 

One story, however, that seems to linger above all others in regards to Blackbeard's legendary life, is the existence of his so-called 'lost treasure'. But is there any truth to this claim, or is it simply tall tales? Today's story is on the life, death and legacy of Blackbeard.  

Haunted History is produced by SoundBite Studios with host Megan Alda and writer/researcher Chloë Kibbe.
