This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Growing up in a household that dismissed ghosts as silly superstition, Chris Sutton never imagined he'd spend his adult life guiding spirits to peace and freeing families from haunted turmoil. Yet that's exactly what happened when a relentless wave of negativity and career stress thrust him into a dark depression. Determined to reclaim his happiness, Chris turned to therapy—and then to shamanic practice, where he discovered a knack for connecting with the unseen. Before long, he found himself stepping into haunted homes, comforting restless spirits, and providing much-needed closure to the living. Join us as we explore Chris Sutton's remarkable story of inner healing, spiritual growth, and how a once-skeptical soul became a shining beacon for those lost between two worlds.
