The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

When you move into a new house, you expect to feel at home. But what happens when the house has other plans? In this episode, we explore the terrifying experiences of someone who moves into a seemingly normal house only to discover that it's anything but. Prayer flags disappear, dark shadows loom, and a presence makes itself known in increasingly aggressive ways. This haunting isn't just subtle; it's in your face, forcing the storyteller to confront the terrifying reality that their new home is haunted. With nowhere to turn, they must decide whether to stay and fight the entity or flee before it's too late.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the harrowing tale of the Iroquois Theater fire of 1903, a catastrophe that claimed over 600 lives and left an indelible mark on Chicago's history. We'll explore the events leading up to that fateful day, the aftermath, and the subsequent reports of paranormal activity that have persisted for over a century. Join us as we delve into eyewitness accounts, examine the psychological and environmental factors at play, and consider the theories that attempt to explain the unexplained. Is the James M. Nederlander Theatre truly haunted by the spirits of those who perished, or are there more earthly explanations for the phenomena reported? 

A family road-trips from Mississippi to Pomona, California—only to discover that Auntie's longtime bungalow hosts more than childhood memories. While the cousins snore beneath a muted TV, their mother dozes on the couch and awakens to the scrape of a kitchen chair, the glow of a single bulb, and a bedroom door she swears no one entered. Through the crack drifts a woman in a white dress, hair like ink, gliding—not walking—toward the sleeper as her face twists from blank curiosity to silent fury. The house is already famous for a red-ball–bouncing ghost girl; now a new apparition wants its turn. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Newly married, pregnant, and hoping for a fresh start, Jill Marie Morris ignored her misgivings about the little duplex at 207 19th Street in Watervliet, New York. Almost immediately, the address repaid her trust with nightmares that bled into daylight—shadowy figures in the hallway, rancid odors with no source, and an overwhelming sense that someone (or something) was studying her every move. Then her husband began to change. The sweet, protective man Jill had married slipped behind a mask of rage, his personality warping until the home's dark energy seemed to speak through him. After months of escalating psychological and spiritual torment, the haunting reached its lethal crescendo: Jill and her eight-month-old son cornered by a .12-gauge shotgun in their own living room. In this episode, Jill revisits the real-life horrors behind her book 207—a chilling reminder that some addresses come pre-loaded with evil. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! If you ask veteran paranormal investigator Michael Brown, Wisconsin isn't just haunted—it's practically a full-state séance waiting to happen. Over two decades of filming and investigating, Brown has collected chilling evidence everywhere from one-room schoolhouses to late-night radio studios. In a rural classroom he watched glimmering figures dart between desks—only to discover the presence had followed him home, tugging at his jacket long after the final bell. At a small-town station, engineers swear they hear children giggling through the monitors even when every mic is dead. Add abandoned asylums echoing with phantom footsteps, lakeside taverns where barstools slide on their own, and farmhouses where the attic light flicks on at 3 a.m. like clockwork, and the Badger State starts looking like the nation's supernatural capital. Join us as Michael Brown maps Wisconsin's ghostly hotspots and tackles the question: has America's Dairyland quietly become America's most haunted state? This is Part Two of our conversation.

What happens to a place soaked in centuries of misery, violence, and death? The Old City Jail in Charleston, South Carolina, operated from 1802 until 1939, and left behind more than just a dark legacy. Tour guide manager Andrew Kuhn discusses the jail's grisly past, including the brutal treatment of inmates, Civil War prisoners, and 19th-century pirates. At the center of it all is Lavinia Fisher—believed by some to be America's first female serial killer—whose final words still echo through the cellblocks. Visitors claim to see her spirit wandering the halls, answering from beyond the grave in chilling EVP recordings. From cold spots and disembodied whispers to full-body apparitions, this place doesn't just remember its past… it relives it.  Today on the Grave Talks, Part Two of our conversation about Charleston's Old City Jail with Tour Guide Manager, Andrew Kuhn.  For more information on tours, visit bulldogtours.com.

What happens when a die-hard skeptic is dared to spend the night in a cemetery? In this episode, we follow the chilling journey of someone who enters a cemetery believing none of the paranormal stories. But by the end of the night, they're left questioning everything they thought they knew about the supernatural. Strange noises, shadowy figures, and unexplained sensations grip them as they spend the night in the most haunted part of the cemetery. By morning, their skepticism is shattered, and they leave forever changed. Was it their imagination running wild, or did they truly experience something paranormal?

We'll explore the house's multifaceted past, from its construction by Thomas Whaley in 1857 to its roles as a family home, courthouse, and theater. Delving into the personal tragedies that befell the Whaley family, we'll examine how these events may have contributed to the numerous reports of paranormal activity. Through eyewitness accounts and expert analyses, we'll seek to understand the enduring mysteries that surround this historic landmark.

This family doesn't inherit jewelry—they inherit hauntings. It starts with a lovestruck American who stuffs his Mexican bride into a laundry bag, braiding together two bloodlines steeped in brujería and Masonic mystery. The grandmother whispers prayers over eggs that crack black as ink; a great-uncle slips into glassy-eyed trances, scrawling symbols no scholar can place. And in one dim kitchen, a child forever sees the Bloody Man—an apparition linked to a vigilante justice hidden within the home's walls. Kind, glowing beings try to protect the little one, yet some spectral stains refuse to wash away. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Beneath the quiet streets of Ellinwood, Kansas, lies a forgotten world—a sprawling underground city built in the late 1800s. Once a hub of activity, the tunnels connected brothels, saloons, gambling dens, barber shops, and even a harness store. Though most of this hidden network is now sealed off, parts remain open to the public, offering a glimpse into the town's bawdy and bustling past. My sister Cathy and I explored the tunnels and toured the historic Wolf Hotel, which sits atop the underground passages. The hotel, while beautifully preserved, has its own ghost stories—most notably the spirit of a man who took his own life in the dining room in 1927. While we expected history, we didn't expect the sudden cold spots, the odd feeling of being watched, or the lingering sadness in the air. For lovers of haunted history like us, Ellinwood was unforgettable—equal parts fascinating, eerie, and unexpectedly emotional. Today, on the Grave Talks, the historic Wolf Hotel and what's below it, with Amanda Coots, paranormal investigator and historian at the Wolf Hotel. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Most of the locations we investigate on The Grave Talks have long since been abandoned, their histories sealed behind broken windows and rusted locks. Kentucky State Penitentiary is the exception. Nicknamed the “Castle on the Cumberland,” this sprawling stone fortress has held prisoners—living and, witnesses claim, otherwise—since 1886. In this episode we step inside an institution that still houses Kentucky's death-row inmates and its active execution chamber, then listen to the stories of guards, wardens, chaplains, and former prisoners who insist they've felt a presence no security camera can capture. Cold drafts linger in rooms with no vents. Footsteps echo along deserted tiers. Voices call out names no longer on the roster. Is it the weight of history pressing on every block—or something determined never to leave? Join us as we explore a place where time, and perhaps the dead, continue to keep watch.

A weekend trip turns into a nightmare when a family realizes they've brought something back with them—something dark. In this episode, we explore the chilling aftermath of a haunting that begins after a family visits a historic site and returns home to find black-eyed figures appearing in their home. Fires spontaneously ignite, objects move on their own, and the family is gripped with fear as the dark entities become more aggressive. This episode uncovers the terrifying reality of being followed by something you can't see but that you can't escape. What did they bring back with them, and how can they rid themselves of these malevolent spirits before it's too late?

In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the enigmatic history of the RMS Queen Mary, tracing her transformation from a luxurious ocean liner to a renowned haunted landmark. We'll explore documented paranormal encounters, including sightings of ghostly children and the elusive "Lady in White," and examine the psychological and environmental factors that may contribute to these enduring legends.  

A lifelong empath phones in to reveal the secret that cost them friends: when they were six, an elderly woman who'd died in their bathroom began watching over their bed—just the first act in a haunting that still shadows them at 22. Family bloodlines of “second sight” soon drew darker forces: a towering entity they called “the Fireman,” bruises that appeared overnight, and glowing white orbs that battled for the child's soul. Victorian strangers materialized in doorways, cameras caught nothing, and a house blessing only muted the storm.  This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Secrets can tear a family apart, and in this episode, they become the root of a haunting that spirals out of control. One family begins to experience strange and terrifying activity—voices whispering in the night, objects moving on their own, and an oppressive presence that grows stronger with each passing day.

This episode explores the way family secrets can manifest into something far more terrifying and how the truth must come to light before the haunting can end.

In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the chilling mysteries surrounding The Dakota, one of New York's most iconic and enigmatic buildings. From its origins as a luxurious Upper West Side residence to its association with John Lennon's tragic murder, The Dakota carries a legacy of both history and hauntings. We explore the tales of spectral figures like the Crying Lady and a ghostly young girl, alongside Lennon's own eerie encounters in the building. Are these events a result of lingering energies from its storied past, or is there a psychological explanation tied to its fame and architecture? Join Tony Brew-ski as he delves into the eerie phenomena and unresolved mysteries that make The Dakota an enduring fascination for believers and skeptics alike.

Former custodian Eric never expected his nighttime rounds at a preschool to feel like detention in the Twilight Zone. Built in the early 1900s, the district's oldest school still echoes with tiny sneakers—except the classrooms are empty. A ghost child warns staff to avoid the locker-room staircase because “Mr. Wiggles” lives below. Lights snap on in locked libraries, dodgeballs restack themselves with teacher-shaming precision, and something with distinctly adult footsteps stalks the boys' bathroom after hours. Eric may have quit mopping floors, but the memories—and whatever Mr. Wiggles is—still scrub at his nerve This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Not all hauntings are filled with malice. In this heartwarming yet eerie episode, we explore the story of a mother's love that transcends even death. After the storyteller's mother passed away, they began to notice small, comforting signs that she was still with them—lights flickering, the smell of her perfume, and the gentle touch of a hand on their shoulder. But as time went on, these comforting moments began to feel more intrusive. The mother's spirit wasn't just visiting—it was staying. This story explores the delicate balance between love and letting go and the haunting reality of what happens when a spirit refuses to move on, even when it's time.

In this episode, Tony Brueski investigates Oshkosh's Grand Opera House, a historic venue said to be home to more than just the performing arts. Tales of ghostly figures in the balcony, unexplained sounds, and objects moving without cause have been part of the opera house's lore for decades. Some say the spirits are former actors or patrons who never quite left the stage behind. What makes the Grand Opera House such a hotspot for paranormal activity? Tony explores both the historical and psychological factors that may contribute to these sightings, asking whether the theater is truly haunted—or if the stories are part of the drama that has unfolded within its walls for over a century.

Ghost hunting in high school might sound like a phase, but for this group of Indiana teens, it turned into a string of unforgettable, chilling encounters. From a phantom-filled farmhouse on Sleeper Road where breath turned visible in mid-summer and photo-negative figures danced in the windows… to a night when the entire house vanished without a trace, replaced by old-growth forest. But it didn't stop there. A friend who ignored a paranormal warning was followed home—his car window exploding as a final warning. This is a story of paranormal encounters that goes way beyond creaky floorboards and cold spots—this is what happens when the line between our world and the next gets blurred in the blue light of the unknown.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the late 1800s, the Squirrel Cage Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was touted as a revolutionary innovation in incarceration. A rotating "human hamster wheel" of cells promised security with minimal manpower. In reality? It turned into a logistical nightmare—and, some say, a spiritual one. Operating from 1885 to 1969, this bizarre vertical jail witnessed everything from despair to death… and apparently, some souls never checked out. Paranormal activity has been reported as far back as the 1950s, with even jailors refusing to sleep in their quarters. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the unsettling legacy of this architectural oddity with Kat Slaughter, Director of the Squirrel Cage Jail and RailsWest Railroad Museum. Are the spirits of inmates still turning in their cells? Or has something else taken up residence in this rotating relic? This is Part Two of our conversation.

One runner's routine jog turned into something unexplainable. Just blocks from home stood a condemned house—boarded windows, eerie silence, and a heavy presence that was easy to write off as imagination. But on one summer day in 2008, after a strange sensation of being scratched outside that very house, the run took a chilling turn. Ravens—normally quiet, observant birds—suddenly began dive-bombing behind her, not once, but twice, in two different locations. And to this day, she believes the ravens may have been trying to protect her from something she couldn't see. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

How well do you really know your best friend? In this terrifying episode, we explore the chilling experience of a storyteller whose best friend was suddenly… different. It started with small changes—odd behavior, strange comments—but quickly escalated into something far more disturbing. One night, during a sleepover, the storyteller realizes that their friend isn't just acting weird—they're possessed. Their voice changes, their face contorts, and they begin speaking in a language that neither of them know. The entity inside their friend isn't human, and it's not leaving without a fight. This episode delves into the terrifying moment when someone you trust becomes someone—or something—you fear. Can possession really take hold of a person so suddenly, or was the entity always lurking beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself?
