Saint Mary's SOCO
Welcome to St. Mary’s SOCO — A Sound Off Creative Original, Narrated by K.T. Harris.
This is the podcast where Southern Maryland’s oldest stories find new life. Hosted by K.T. Harris, this series explores the rich history, folklore, and characters of St. Mary’s County — the southernmost tip of Maryland, where legends linger and the past still echoes across the Bay.
From oyster wars and Civil War prisons to ghost stories, watermen, and back-road characters, each episode dives deep into the heart of SoCo. Some stories are fact, others are local lore — but all are uniquely Southern Maryland.
Pull up a stool. Pour a drink. And settle in for a trip through time, tide, and tales.

Episode 8 “Tippity Witchity”
At the mouth of the St. Mary’s River lies an island with a name that sounds like a children’s rhyme — but whispers of something much darker. Tippity Witchity.
Once a sacred courting ground… later a den of vice and secrets… and today, the site of chilling encounters no map can explain. From Confederate smugglers and floating bordellos to a pale woman said to rise from the river’s edge, this island’s story drifts between history and haunting.
Was the name born of legend, temptation, or something supernatural? No one knows for sure. But one thing is certain: Tippity Witchity still keeps her secrets — and if you listen closely, you might just hear the water call your name.
