The Grave Podcast

In this episode, I talk to the people I've spent my entire life with. When I first ventured out into the world of podcasting, I knew two things for certain. The first was that I wanted to bring a new awareness and perhaps even an enlightenment to the realm of the paranormal. And the second was that I wanted a common thread to loosely tie my first season up in a nice little bow. So for my final episode of season one, I turn to my family to bring our story full circle. I talk about an experience my father had at our family home before talking with both my brothers and sister about their own encounters and thoughts on life beyond The Grave... There's haunted houses, poltergeist activity, a possible female demon and the ghosts of Gettysburg. Thank you to all who have come this far on my journey and until season two... I hope to have you all back, for some more scary stories!

In this episode, we get two for the price of one! Ryan Maynard is an old hometown friend of mine who reached out to me after listening to several previous episodes to discuss his own paranormal experiences. But as we discussed his own trials with the paranormal, it came to light that his then girlfriend (now fiancé) not only had her own encounters, but that she grew up in not one but two haunted houses. So, while Ryan and I talk about a ghost dog and a spirit that likes to run up stairs, Bekkah was able to paint our ghoulish portrait a little further. Her and I chat about the ghost of a little girl that would wake her up at night, shadow figures in her bathroom and even angels! This week, we are circling back around to the tales of haunted houses that this terror train initially embarked on.

In this episode, I talk to a man of the cloth. I was put in touch with Geoff after a childhood friend reached out to tell me his dad had actually performed an exorcism. Now, as a paranormal podcast, what Geoff has to say on the subject is right up any horror enthusiast's alley. But this episode takes on much more than just possession... Geoff and I discuss many major aspects of religion like heaven and hell, angels and demons, and God and Jesus among other topics. And whether you are someone who subscribes to the Christian ideology or are a devout atheist in the vein of the late Christopher Hitchens, this episode should have plenty for everyone.

In this episode, I talk with Stacy. Stacy is a life coach and hypnotist who reached out to me after her friend Nikki Fontaine came on to discuss her paranormal experiences in episode three. Stacy has seen her fair share of hard times and has had to deal with the deaths of several members of her family. But it seems that through all of this hardship, she has been able to establish a connection with the other side... Stacy and I discuss the trauma she suffered in her earlier years, her transformation from makeup artist to life-coach/hypnotist, and her thoughts on how she is able to talk or "tap into" the spirit world. So, whether you're in need of life advice or just came to hear some scary stuff, Stacy has something to offer everyone...

In this episode, I talk to my friend and atheist, Jeff. Jeff and I went to high school together and spent many hazy nights discussing religion (among other things). As stated above, Jeff is an atheist. Which simply put means that he asserts there is no God, soul, afterlife etc. Anything outside the material realm is unconvincing to him. And as I've progressed with this first season, I realized that the discussion has been very one-sided. And I suppose as a "paranormal podcast," it should be. But I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the other side of the aisle. Jeff and I discuss his experience with a Ouija board and his subsequent feelings as to why he now believes that experience, along with all other supernatural encounters, are likely false. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode, I talk to my friend Kevin. Kevin is a childhood friend of mine who grew up in a haunted house. Some of the things he told me as kids that occurred in his home scared me to the point where I would avoid sleepovers there. As a young boy, what Kevin told me terrified me. And now as an adult, I thought back to those tales Kevin had shared all those years ago and I immediately added him to the top of my guest list. From a Native American in his basement to the apparition of a man appearing in his bedroom, Kevin certainly has enough experience to qualify him for this podcast. A qualification I'm quite sure he never wanted... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode, I talk to my good friend and nationally known scared person, Kyle Trobman. As stated above, Kyle is not the biggest fan of the paranormal. In fact, it terrifies him. It's highly probable he would never wish to experience another creepy thing for as long as he lives. But alas, spooky things seem to keep happening to my dear friend... From an invisible intruder at a friend's upstate NY home to an apparent encounter with a spirit during an Ouija board session, Kyle has had more interactions with the paranormal than most would care to have... And that's exactly why I had to have him on the show. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode of The Grave, I talk to my friend Nikki Fontaine. Nikki initially told me some of her stories while out one night when we both lived in New York years ago. But when I began thinking about people I wanted to have on this podcast years later, Nikki's stories were some of the first that came to my mind. We delve into some of her family's bizarre tales as well as work through her experiences with the paranormal that she had growing up in her childhood home, including a couple visits from her deceased relatives. She enlightens us on how she perceived and "downloaded" energy as a child while also discussing how she was able to shut it down later in life. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Welcome back! In this episode, I talk to my friend and fellow paranormal enthusiast, Nick Damore. We get into our views on the afterlife, discuss heaven and hell as well as tackle the topic of suicide within the realm of religion. Of course, we also dig on into Nick's experiences with the paranormal and his ongoing search for answers to the afterlife question. Nick shares supernatural events from his childhood all the way up to present day and the female spirit that seems to have formed a bond with his young son... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In the first episode of The Grave you will hear from me, your host, Josh King. I wanted to start things off in the hopes that people hear some of my paranormal experiences and not only feel safe but comfortable enough to discuss their own. In this first episode, I detail what I believe was my first supernatural encounter as a child and chronicle several other experiences throughout my life. The last of which describes my confrontation with the apparition of a young woman in my hotel room in Madrid, Spain. I hope you enjoy and come back for some more scary stories.... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
