In this second installment of our Centreville investigation, we step beyond the quiet decay of Moonshadow Manor and into a far more unsettling shadow: the alleged mass killing of Black soldiers at Camp Van Dorn. Join us as we walk the place where the camp gates once loomed...an unremarkable roadside clearing today, but a site tangled in decades of rumor, grief, and contested memory. We trace the history of the camp, sift through research, and explore the story that has circulated. This episode is an honest conversation about difficult history. We approach this topic with deep respect for those whose lives and legacies may be bound to this story, while also questioning how folklore, fear, and conspiracy sometimes entwine with fact. You can view all the sources we referenced in our own research listed below. If you find other resources you'd like to share, please email them our way!
