In this Scary Savannah and Beyond Halloween 2025 episode, Brett and Crystal take listeners from the haunted streets of Savannah up to Charleston, South Carolina, uncovering the chilling legend of Dr. Heinrich Ryngo—the so-called “Doctor to the Dead.” Blending dark history, ghostly romance, and gothic horror, the hosts recount Ryngo’s obsession with resurrecting his lost love, Angelique, through forbidden experiments that led to gruesome discoveries and his monstrous transformation. With humor, Southern charm, and eerie storytelling, they discuss Halloween costumes, America’s favorite candies, and Charleston’s haunted past before diving deep into Ryngo’s twisted tale. Perfect for fans of true crime, paranormal legends, and Southern ghost stories, this episode is a haunting mix of mystery, history, and Halloween fun.
