Old pubs hit different after dark—low lighting, creaking timber, cellars you don't want to go down alone… and stories that refuse to die. In this episode we take on a haunted pub crawl across Wales, blending documented history with the legends and witness accounts that keep these places firmly on the paranormal map.We begin at Cardiff's Rummer Tavern, often cited among the city centre's oldest pubs, where reports consistently circle the cellar and toilets and a long-running sailor legend still hangs in the air. Next, we travel to Monmouth's Queen's Head, a historic inn wrapped in Civil War tradition and Cromwell-era storytelling, with recurring reports of strange presences that have become part of its identity. Then it's time for the Skirrid Inn—a pub with a dark past and a reputation for intense paranormal activity that's earned it “most haunted” status in countless retellings. And to round off the night, we stop in Abergavenny at The Duke of Wellington, because no haunted pub crawl is complete without one more old building, one more story, and one more “did you hear that?” moment.Note: We discuss hauntings as folklore and personal testimony rather than confirmed fact.Haunted pubs Wales, Rummer Tavern Cardiff, Queen's Head Monmouth ghost, Skirrid Mountain Inn haunted, Duke of Wellington Abergavenny, Welsh ghost stories, paranormal podcast UK, Pursuit Of The Paranormal

A wax figurine forgotten in museum storage. A book of poems that prophesied a ghost. A woman on a beach who found something she wasn't looking for. In the final episode of the Charleston Gothic series, the investigation returns to where it began — the Dock Street Theatre — and follows the last of three trails through Charleston's tangled relationship with Edgar Allan Poe. Along the way, a century-old literary vision resurfaces, a forgotten poet speaks truths the city wasn't ready to hear, and the question that launched the series finally gets its answer.   Sources referenced in the episode: Books Israfel: The Life and Times of Edgar Allan Poe by  Hervey Allen (1926) Carolina Chansons: Legends of the Low Country  by DuBose Heyward and Hervey Allen (1922) The Arrow of Lightning by Beatrice Witte Ravenel (1926) The Dreamer: A Romantic Rendering of the Life-Story of Edgar Allan Poe  by Mary Newton Stanard Edgar Allan Poe's Charleston  by Christopher Byrd Downey Poe's Brother: The Poems of William Henry Leonard Poe by Hervey Allen and Thomas Ollive Mabbott Ghosts and Legends of Charleston by Denise Rolfe (2010) Poe-Land by J.W.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Built in 1889 by A. D. Walker in Holton, the Hotel Josephine has operated for more than a century, earning a reputation as the most haunted hotel in Kansas. Named after Walker's daughter, Josephine, who was born the same year, the hotel has welcomed travelers continuously since its doors first opened.Its guest list includes notable figures such as Grover Cleveland, Carrie Nation, and Robert Louis Stevenson. Yet alongside its documented history are persistent reports of unexplained activity — shadow figures in hallways, disembodied footsteps, and rooms that seem anything but empty.Accounts shared by Christie Ayers connect the hotel's long operational history with ongoing paranormal experiences. For some visitors, a stay at Hotel Josephine is more than historic lodging — it's an encounter with a past that never fully checked out.Get more information about Hotel Josephine here. #TheGraveTalks #HotelJosephine #HauntedKansas #HoltonKS #HistoricHauntings #HauntedHotels #KansasGhosts #TrueParanormal Love real ghost stories?

Bomb cyclone over North Carolina… Ambience. This week's episode covers the major coastal storm as heard from the coastal plains Carolina (i.e., my twin's house). Her recording (thank you!) captured wind, snow, and birds sheltering nearby. I also filled out the recording with added notes and sounds (I'm really into ambience with non-music motifs).And as everyone who has followed this podcast should know, I am a fan of fans. (We're starting with fans?) One distant summer night in Myrtle Beach, I sat bolt upright fast enough to catch the sound of an explosion in its negative phase. Light-headed and feeling each beat of my heart pulsating through my eyes and ears, my brain trying to re-engage consciousness.  I looked around in the dark. Ghostly echoes of thunder washed over me. The wind picked up and lashed raindrops into the window. A flash of light ignited the room, and I was staring into the pale visage of a little girl's face, wide-eyed.I screamed.This was the thunderstorm that ruined me for thunderstorms. I experienced the eye of Hurricane Hugo (Kershaw County, not Charleston), and my memories aren't as vivid of that hurricane as they are of that brief, terrifying Myrtle storm. I can remember everything from the moment I was ripped from my dreams to my father plugging in a large box fan next to my bed.After recovering from the face-flashing jumpscare, it was my twin staring at me—we summoned the courage to wander down the hall of the efficiency motel room to where my parents slept. We ripped them out of their sleep and beckoned them to look out the windows. The sheer unsettlement of the night sky—Do something.A blinding flash enveloped us in white. And just before the collection of sounds that make up thunder hit my ear, I swear I heard a sizzle rip by first. Sparks fell across the street from a power line. I backed away from the windows, reeling—the room's oven flashed and sparked with small tendrils of electricity.I shouted, “The oven's on fire,” because I had no idea how to describe what I was seeing.“The oven is not on fire,” my mother said, furious. And I can understand why; if she were writing this podcast description about the experience, it would be: waking to children screaming, a massive white light filling the room, a shattering thunderclap, and her son shouting “fire!”“Sometimes lightning can sneak in through the wires,” my father explained after sorting out what I had seen. And I was like, “Wait—it can get inside?!” urgently gesticulating toward the windows and the flashing forks of electric death.This is why I sleep with noise at night—preferably rushing wind, whether electric or naturally created. To drown out the possibility of hearing thunder.Essentially, all of what I have written so far can be boiled down to my trying to conjure a title for this week's episode. I wanted to offer howling winds as anxiety relief. And my beloved wife interjected that I should offer calm winds for anxiety, as people might not feel calmed by rushing wind. And I was like, “CALM WINDS DON'T CALM ME!”The argument eventually ended with accusations that I never do the dishes. Happy Valentine's Day! (Oh no wait that's next week)

De próbáljuk meg tovább kutatni. Ki tudja, mit találhatunk még?"En: László smiles, nodding almost imperceptibly: "Maybe you're right. But let's keep searching. Who knows what else we might find?"Hu: A hideg ellenszeletől nem zavartatva eltökélten térnek vissza a faluba.En: Unaffected by the cold headwind, they return to the village with determination.Hu: A titok szépsége összekötötte őket.En: The beauty of the mystery has bonded them.Hu: A Balaton varázsa ezután már nem csak mendemonda számukra, hanem egy közösen megélt élmény is.En: The magic of Balaton is now not just a rumor for them, but also a shared experience.Hu: Ágnes bátrabb lett, László pedig talán egy kicsit nyitottabb a csodákra.En: Ágnes has become braver, and László perhaps a bit more open to wonders.Hu: És ez mindkettőjük számára gazdagabbá tette a világot.En: And this has enriched the world for both of them.

When Jonathan Dickinson washed ashore in Florida in the late 1600s, history books told us to expect brutality, suffering… and cannibals.But what if that's not what actually happened?In this episode of This Is Legends of Yesterday, we unravel the strange contradictions surrounding Dickinson's shipwreck and his encounters with Florida's Indigenous people—who, according to his own account, treated him not as prey, but as a human being. So where did the cannibal legend come from? And why did this story become the version that survived?Join us as we question colonial narratives, separate fear from fact, and explore the uncomfortable possibility that history may have gotten this one very, very wrong.Ghostly? Not this time.Unsettling? Absolutely.True? You'll have to listen to find out.This episode of This Is Legends of Yesterday includes discussion of the following sensitive topics:-Slavery and enslavement-Racism and colonial violence-Dehumanization of Indigenous peoples-Cannibalism (historical claims and myths)-Descriptions of insects and arachnidsThese topics are discussed in a historical and educational context, but may be distressing or uncomfortable for some listeners.

Shepherdstown, West Virginia, may be small, but its history runs deep — and dark. Founded in 1762 along the Potomac River, it's one of the oldest towns in the state. On the surface, it's full of charm — brick sidewalks, historic homes, and the quiet hum of university life. But behind the beauty lies centuries of turmoil. Just three miles away, the Battle of Antietam became one of the bloodiest days in American history. When it ended, the wounded poured in by the thousands, turning every home, church, and business into a field hospital. Locals say the town was never the same — it seems that the ground itself remembers. Ghostly figures are seen near the riverbanks, whispers echo from the churchyards, and even Shepherd University has its share of unexplained encounters. Janet Hughes, owner of Shepherdstown Mystery Walks, knows these stories better than anyone. Through her tours, she reveals the layers of tragedy, resilience, and lingering energy that make Shepherdstown one of the most haunted towns in West Virginia. Is it history holding on—or something that refuses to let go? This is Part Two of our conversation.

Some stories don't arrive all at once. They surface slowly, across years, places, and moments that don't seem connected—until suddenly, they are. In this episode, one listener takes us through a lifetime marked by strange interruptions in the ordinary: nights where sleep refused to come until something unexplained intervened, roads and bridges that felt wrong long before anything actually happened, and workplaces where unseen presences seemed far too invested in how things were done. What makes this story unsettling isn't just the encounters themselves—it's how casually they slipped into everyday life, as if whatever was there never meant to frighten… just to be noticed. Helpful? Maybe. Judgmental? Possibly. Human? That's up for debate. This is a story about patterns, persistence, and the uneasy feeling that some forces don't fade with time—they adapt. And sometimes, the most unsettling encounters aren't dramatic at all. They're quiet. Routine. And very particular about how things should be. #RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #HauntedLives #UnexplainedEncounters #ListenerStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #EverydayHauntings #CreepyButTrue #GhostlyExperiences Love real ghost stories?

Does the spectral form of a handsome fancy boy stalk the Dungarvon River in New Brunswick, "whooping" loud as hell in a ghostly rage? We discuss all this and much more!

From a ghost who returned a missing child only to reveal he'd been dead for years, to a bride whose body was found hidden in a chest fifty years after she vanished, these true Christmas hauntings prove the holidays have a dark side.IN THIS EPISODE: I'll share a few ghost stories that all center around the Christmas season. (True Tales of Christmas Ghosts) *** We'll look at a haunting in Rhode Island, where people claim to see a mysterious light every year at Christmas – and many believe it to be a ghost ship with a dark history. (The Christmas Light of Block Island) *** Even without ghosts, you can still have some terrible things take place at Christmas time – more than you might realize. You'll never hear the word “Christmas” the same way again after hearing some of what happened in history during the Christmas season! (Horrible Happenings at the Holidays) *** What is for many their favorite paranormal Christmas movie of all time was, in fact, a bust at the box office. It wasn't about a ghost though – it was about a desperate man, and an angel without any wings.

In “The Imposter”, a woman, despite having no theatrical background, is suddenly inspired to write a full-length play — with the ghostly help of a long-dead actor. When the play turns out to be a hit, she tries to take all the credit for it. But the real author's spirit isn't having it and demands that her name be removed from the marquee.  | #RetroRadio EP0571CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “The Imposter” (March 22, 1977) ***WD00:45:34.027 = Eleventh Hour, “Will” (1941-1946) ***WD01:14:24.935 = Escape, “Red Wine” (February 26, 1949)01:43:51.535 = Everyman's Theater, “This Precious Freedom” (October 04, 1940) ***WD02:11:07.323 = Murder By Experts, “Murder By Prescription” (July 11, 1949)02:40:34.581 = Exploring Tomorrow, “The Last Doctor” (February 19, 1958)02:59:01.191 = Faces in The Window, “Lightning Rod Man” (January 17, 1953) ***WD (LQ)03:22:41.516 = Dark Fantasy, “Debt From The Past” (January 16, 1942)03:46:52.517 = Fear on 4, “The Chimes of Midnight” (October 02, 1997) ***WD04:14:52.809 = 5 Minute Mysteries, “Broken Window” (1947-1950)04:19:55.490 = Tales From The Tomb, “Don't Drink With Strangers” (1960s)04:23:35.238 = BBC Ghosts From The Past, “The Boat Hook” (April 15, 1992)05:07:02.739 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

In this episode of Lurk, we travel to the historic—and notoriously haunted—Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Perched high in the Ozark Mountains, this grand Victorian structure has been many things over the past century: a luxury resort, an elite girls' school, and most infamously, a fraudulent cancer hospital run by the charismatic con man Norman Baker. Its long and troubled history has left behind more than just stories—it's said to be one of the most haunted hotels in America.We dive into the hotel's tragic past, exploring the legends and documented history that shaped its reputation. You'll hear about:Michael, the Irish stonemason who fell to his death during construction and still roams Room 218.The spirit of a young woman in white, believed to have been a student during the hotel's boarding school days.Ghostly nurses, mysterious figures in mirrors, and unexplained footsteps echoing through the old hospital wings.The chilling legacy of Dr. Norman Baker, whose “hospital” led to countless deaths—and whose former morgue remains a hotspot of strange activity.Through eyewitness accounts, historical details, and the hotel's most unsettling paranormal encounters, we uncover why the Crescent continues to draw ghost hunters, historians, and the curious from all over the world.If you've ever wondered what lingers in the halls of the Crescent Hotel after the sun sets over the Ozarks, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Subscribe & Follow:Don't miss future episodes of Lurk!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Once the height of elegance and power, Buffalo's Statler City Hotel was built to host the living—but it seems the dead refused to check out. Grand ballrooms now sit in silence. Chandeliers sway in still air. Security guards report footsteps echoing down empty hallways, voices drifting through rooms that haven't seen guests in decades. Some claim to see figures dressed in 1920s finery, appearing just long enough to vanish again. In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, we step inside one of the most haunted landmarks in New York to explore the thin veil between history and the supernatural. Guest Conor Hawkins takes us beyond the locked doors, revealing untold stories of the Statler's past—its triumphs, its tragedies, and the mysterious energy that refuses to fade. Why do certain places hold on to their guests long after death? What makes the Statler's walls hum with life when no one is there? History never truly leaves. And inside the Statler City Hotel… neither do they. #HauntedHotel #StatlerCity #TrueGhostStory #HauntedBuffalo #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #RealHaunting #HauntedPlaces #TheGraveTalks #CreepyEncounters  Love real ghost stories?

A family's day at Sydney's Luna Park ended in flames when a Ghost Train fire killed seven people—including six children—but the last photograph taken before the tragedy has sparked theories of something far more sinister than an accident.IN THIS EPISODE: Some of the most unsettling of urban legends can take place in some of the happiest places on earth. Ghostly children swinging in a playground, phantom-like warriors coming out at night in beautiful Hawaii, but there's one I never heard of until just this morning that I had to look up… it has to do with a boy, a theme park, and a man with horns, (Damien and the Horned Man) *** In 1944 Dorothy Forstein came home from shopping and was attacked by an intruder, beat within an inch of her life. Nothing was stolen, no fingerprints left, no clue as to how the person entered the house to begin with. Dorothy recovered from her injuries… but years later she found her grim fate wasn't done with her. (The Disappearance of Dorothy Forstein) *** SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is continually scanning the heavens on the lookout for life elsewhere in the universe. But is it possible that somewhere on another planet out there, those beings are doing the same thing – and could actually be watching us? Scientists say that not only is it possible, but they suspect it could be over 1,000 extraterrestrial space stations are watching our every move! (Are We Being Watched By Alien Space Stations?) *** Eighteen-year-old Ellen Lucas was to be married on October 3rd – but the evening of October 2nd she went out with her fiance, never to be seen alive again. Did a horrible accident destroy the chances of this couple's happy life together? A random act of violence? Or was it something even more sinister? (The Bridgeport Tragedy) *** She seemed the perfect American, even born to a US military doctor, graduating from a prestigious American college, and working tirelessly, doing her part to serve her country as a military analyst. What would cause this seemingly patriotic citizen to become a spy for the enemy?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC! At the heart of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, stands the Drish House—a towering antebellum mansion said to glow with ghostly fire. When Dr. John R. Drish met a tragic end tumbling down the grand staircase, his widow, Sarah, was left with only memories… and a set of ornate funeral candles she cherished. But when those candles mysteriously went missing during her own funeral, something inside the house reignited—literally. For generations, locals have sworn to see flames flickering in the tower, dancing without smoke, without heat, and without explanation. Some say it's Sarah's spirit searching for her lost candles.

Shepherdstown, West Virginia, may be small, but its history runs deep — and dark. Founded in 1762 along the Potomac River, it's one of the oldest towns in the state. On the surface, it's full of charm — brick sidewalks, historic homes, and the quiet hum of university life. But behind the beauty lies centuries of turmoil. Just three miles away, the Battle of Antietam became one of the bloodiest days in American history. When it ended, the wounded poured in by the thousands, turning every home, church, and business into a field hospital. Locals say the town was never the same — it seems that the ground itself remembers. Ghostly figures are seen near the riverbanks, whispers echo from the churchyards, and even Shepherd University has its share of unexplained encounters. Janet Hughes, owner of Shepherdstown Mystery Walks, knows these stories better than anyone. Through her tours, she reveals the layers of tragedy, resilience, and lingering energy that make Shepherdstown one of the most haunted towns in West Virginia.

Haunted house season is here, and we're back with more of your haunted house real estate stories! This annual episode is equal parts creepy, hilarious, and deeply memorable — and we're sharing everything from friendly ghosts to record players spinning in power-less foreclosures. Real estate is wild on a normal day, but when things start slamming, whispering, and levitating? That's next-level spooky. These stories come straight from our listeners and fellow Realtors, and we've got it all: haunted listing appointments, ghost dogs, creepy dolls, unexplained cold spots, and even a spirit who just wanted his research delivered back to the university. While none of these haunted happenings are exactly by the book, they're certainly unforgettable. If you've ever had a weird gut feeling on a showing, this episode will make you feel seen... and maybe a little haunted. Here's what you'll hear in this episode: A closet door that kept opening… and a ghost whispering “get out” A record player spinning in a power-less house Ghostly buyers who vanished mid-showing A photographer who saw someone move — in an empty home The professor who researched ghosts and maybe became one Cold spots, angry basement doors, and haunted flip houses A house no one saw — and buyers who didn't last two months Key Quotes & Takeaways “I was like, get out… and the ghost said, get out.”  “I felt a cold, angry presence — then the door slammed in my face.”  “If you're going to stay, that's fine. Just stop turning the boiler on.”  “The professor just wanted his research archived. Once we did, the heat finally stayed off.”  “That was the only way she could've sold it… someone had to buy it sight unseen.” Leave us a review at http://ratethispodcast.com/hustlehumbly Get your FREE Database Template: http://hustlehumblypodcast.com/starthere Email Templates 101: http://emailtemplates101.com Agent Systems 101: http://agentsystems101.com All Resources: http://hustlehumblypodcast.com Submit your topic ideas and toasts to Team@HustleHumblyPodcast.com Music: Straight A's by Connor Price → https://connorprice.shop/ The Good Life by Summer Kennedy → https://soundcloud.com/summerkennedy/the-good-life Be The One by Matrika → https://uppbeat.io/t/matrika/be-the-one   Rate & Review the Show: Love what you hear?

What do you do when the dead won't stop reaching out? A beautifully unsettling story of a family haunted by a recently lost loved one—who may have brought others with him. Doors pull shut on their own. Whispered voices say, “I'm sorry.” A framed photo falls. But the worst moment comes when the storyteller looks in the mirror and finds her stomach covered in scratches—raw, angry, and fresh. Her child sees spirits. Her dog senses something. And a dream reveals her brother in a “waiting place.” The entire house becomes a quiet battleground between grief, memory, and whatever lies beyond. #ghosthouse #realghoststories #familyhaunting #supernaturalgrief #scratchmarks #paranormalencounter #spiritualresidue #dreamvisits #spiritcommunication #emotionalhaunt Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Brown Grand Theater in Concordia, Kansas, has always been a showstopper — but the most unforgettable performances may come from those you can't see. Built in 1907 by Colonel Napoleon Bonaparte Brown and completed by his son Earl, the theater's century-long history is steeped in legends of spirits who never left their beloved stage. Visitors report the lingering scent of Gertrude's phantom perfume drifting through the aisles, while Earl is said to still “run the show” from the other side. Then there's the mysterious man said to haunt the boiler room and the ghostly little girl in a blue dress who appears when the lights go down. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we speak with theater director Melissa Swenson and paranormal investigator Tonya Merrill about the unexplained events, spectral sightings, and chilling stories that make the Brown Grand Theater a hotspot for paranormal activity — and a place where the curtain never truly falls.

Some haunted houses whisper. Others clap. In Topeka, Kansas, a family nicknamed their resident spirit “Fred.” Decades earlier, a man who lived there wasn't allowed to drink inside the house. He'd sit in his car at night with the radio on — until one night his heart gave out. His wife found him dead in the car. Years later, a twelve-year-old living in that same home began sensing a presence. One morning, after staying up late watching The Conjuring, he rushed to get ready for school when he heard two sharp claps echo from the dark entryway — identical to the chilling scene in the movie. He froze, peered around the corner… no one there. His parents joked that it was just Fred telling him to hurry up so he wouldn't miss the bus. That same storyteller later attended Benedictine College in Atchison — widely called the most haunted town in Kansas. One night, while driving past the infamous Sallie House, he snapped a photo of the dark home. In the top-left window, the image revealed a blurry figure of a woman watching the street. His friend, seeing it with his own eyes, slammed on the gas to get away. Whether it's a protective spirit named Fred or the ominous figure in the Sallie House window, these encounters prove Kansas has hauntings that are as real as they are chilling. #HauntedKansas #FredTheGhost #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealHaunting #TheConjuringClap #SallieHouse #HauntedAtchison #ParanormalEncounters #GhostInTheWindow #CreepyEVP #TrueParanormalStories Love real ghost stories?
