Albany, New York, isn't just the state capital—it's one of the oldest cities in America, layered with centuries of untold stories, buried secrets, and forgotten cemeteries hiding beneath modern streets. In this episode, we're joined by Maeve McEneny-Johnson, Director of Community Engagement with Discover Albany and a seventh-generation native of the capital city whose love for its past runs deep. Maeve shares how her childhood—riding shotgun with her father, the local historian—sparked a lifelong passion for preserving and sharing Albany's overlooked history. From colonial scandal at Cherry Hill, Abraham Lincoln's eerie local ties and hauntings to the 1911 Capitol fire—and the Civil War veteran night watchman some say never left his post—Maeve brings Albany's rich, strange, and sometimes unsettling stories to life in a way few others can. Whether you crave folklore, true crime, or a good historical, paranormal rabbit hole, this episode uncovers the heartbeat of a city that refuses to be forgotten.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Galveston, Texas, is often considered one of the most haunted places in America due to its history of tragedy and devastation. The Great Storm of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, claimed up to 12,000 lives, leaving a lasting imprint on the island. Many believe the spirits of the hurricane's victims still linger. Many of Galveston's historic structures have withstood wars, natural disasters, and countless tragic events, contributing to their haunted reputations. The island's role in the Civil War, including the Battle of Galveston, adds another layer to its haunted history. The city has also experienced epidemics that caused numerous deaths, also contributing to Galveston's haunted status. These historical events and tragedies have created a collection of ghost stories and paranormal experiences that intrigue residents and visitors alike.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Jails and penitentiaries are often magnets for paranormal energy—and the Old Idaho Penitentiary is no exception. Built in 1870, before Idaho even became a state, the prison operated for over a century, witnessing everything from brutal riots and daring escapes to chilling executions. Among the most infamous inmates was Raymond Snowden—nicknamed “Idaho's Jack the Ripper”—who was executed for a gruesome murder and is believed by many to still haunt the prison grounds. Visitors and staff alike have reported unsettling experiences: disembodied voices, phantom touches, and an overwhelming sense of being watched. In this episode of The Grave Talks, Visitor Services Coordinator Jacey Brain joins us to share the dark history and persistent hauntings of this historic prison. What lingers behind these stone walls—and why won't it let go?  This is Part Two of our conversation. For more information on historical tours and paranormal events, visit history.idaho.gov.

What do sea monsters, haunted ships, and a creepy high school gym have in common? They're just a few of the eerie stops featured on the spine-tingling tours led by Chris Staudinger—owner, operator, and lead guide of Pretty Gritty Tours in Tacoma, Washington. In this episode, Chris takes us on a virtual journey through the haunted corners and forgotten history of “Gritty City,” where ghost stories and local lore lurk around every turn. From the misty trails of Point Defiance Park, said to be haunted by a young spirit, to the shadowy halls of the Foss Seaport, Tacoma's past is anything but quiet. And just down the road in Bucoda—a town with a population barely over 500—you'll find a haunted 1939 gymnasium and its most unsettling resident: a doll named Abby. These aren't just ghost stories—they're the restless echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the small town of Vinton, Iowa, you'll find the Horridge House, a two-story, red brick home built in 1859 by Dr. Hewitt Clingan. It was sold to George and Elizabeth Horridge a decade later, who left their mark on this storied residence. Visitors to the Horridge House today will be transported back in time with its period furnishings, clothing displays, and numerous artifacts. But there's more to this house than meets the eye. Now housing the Benton County Historical Society's Archives & Museum, the Horridge House is a repository of historical knowledge and artifacts and a potential hotspot for ghostly activity. The house is filled with peculiar and unexplainable occurrences, from shadowy figures to strange noises and suspicious footsteps. Many believe these hauntings are linked to the historical artifacts stored within its walls. Could it also be that the spirits of Mr. Horridge, along with both his first AND second wives, still reside in the home? Today on the Grave Talks, what is haunting the Horridge House? A conversation with Katie Hopkins, Benton County Historical  Society Vice President and Paranormal Tour Manager. This is Part Two of our conversation.

The King Opera House in Van Buren, Arkansas, isn't just a beautiful relic of the past—it's a living, breathing theater with a haunted history unlike any other. Today, Gavin Webb joins us to talk about his paranormal documentary that dives deep into the legends and lore of this 133-year-old opera house. From ghostly apparitions in 1920s clothing to a lady in white wandering the men's restroom, the spirits said to haunt this historic space are as numerous as they are mysterious. But perhaps the most tragic spirit of all is an actor, reportedly killed by a furious father who suspected him of bad intentions with his daughter. Gavin shares behind-the-scenes stories, eerie encounters, and what they uncovered while investigating one of Arkansas's most haunted buildings. Is the King Opera House truly haunted—or does it just know how to put on a hell of a show? This is Part Two of our conversation.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Becky Vickers' journey into the paranormal began with a profound personal loss. At 17, her beloved grandfather passed away. In her quest to stay connected with him, Becky immersed herself in the mysteries of the afterlife, sparking a lifelong passion for ghost hunting and the paranormal. With over 37 years of experience, Becky has become an authority in the field. She is driven by her belief that we can still communicate with our loved ones beyond the grave. Her dedication is not to prove the existence of ghosts but to open minds and hearts to the possibility.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Mysticism runs deep in the bloodline of sisters Jennifer and Jill, hosts of the Common Mystics podcast. Raised in a home where astrology, spiritual healing, and magick were not only accepted but also embraced, generations of intuitive women shaped their spiritual journeys.

Today, Jennifer works as a Tarot reader and intuitive, while Jill is a psychic medium, energy reader, and life coach. Together, they explore haunted highways and forgotten places, seeking out spirits with stories that have been left untold. In their podcast and new book, Ghosts on the Road: Murder and Mysterious Deaths, the sisters give voice to the voiceless, inviting the dead to share what history has ignored. Their book is available on Amazon, and you can listen to Common Mystics wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For centuries, scientists, skeptics, and believers alike have been intrigued by  questions like "What causes ghostly experiences?" "Are ghosts real?" and "Why do certain people report numerous ghostly encounters while others experience none?" Brandon Massullo's The Ghost Studies offers a glimpse into the research and theories that shed light on these mysteries. This book is far more than a compilation of ghost stories. It includes research on the role of energy and electricity in hauntings, examining how emotions, bioenergetics, and the environment contribute to supernatural phenomena. Additionally, it explores why some individuals are more susceptible to ghostly encounters. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this book promises to challenge your understanding of the paranormal. This is Part Two of our conversation. Today on the Grave Talks, a conversation about The Ghost Studies: New Perspectives on the Origins of Paranormal Experiences with author Brandon Masullo; you can buy the book on Amazon or wherever books are sold.   About the author:       Brandon Massullo is a clinical therapist, author, and parapsychologist residing in Northeast Ohio.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Graestone Manor Bed and Breakfast is a beautifully preserved Victorian mansion along the Erie Canal in Royalton, New York. Nestled in the quiet town of Gasport, this manor is a gem on the Niagara Wine Trail. Silas Newcomb, settled the property in 1833, planting apple and pear trees that still bear fruit today. Over the decades, the estate changed hands—from Silas's son Albert to neighbors Horace and Harriet Chapin and then to Curtis Root in 1865. Root, a racehorse enthusiast, left a lasting legacy with his racetrack and the famed racehorse Hamiltonian. But beneath its historical facade, Graestone Manor harbors a world of the supernatural. Visitors have reported the sound of heated arguments, the echo of ghostly horse hooves, and the chilling sight of a woman's apparition at the window. Whispers of a mysterious vortex in the basement and shadowy figures wandering the halls add to the eerie atmosphere. And what is it like to be a psychic medium living in this historic manor? And why are the former owners' spirits excited about Heather and her husband living in the home? Today on The Grave Talks, the Haunted History of Graestone Manor with owner and psychic medium Heather Rease Mattison.   For more information, go to graestonemanor.com.

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! 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.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the 1850s, Kansas was a battleground—not just politically, but literally—as pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought for control of the territory. At the heart of this struggle stood the Free State Hotel in Lawrence, Kansas, built in 1855 as a symbol of abolitionist resistance. It was burned to the ground the day it opened. Colonel Shalor Eldridge rebuilt the hotel, determined to see it rise again—and some say he never truly left. The current Eldridge Hotel stands on the same site, with the original 1855 cornerstone embedded in the wall of the famously haunted Room 506. In Part One of our conversation with historian Dennis Sneed, we dive into the violent roots of the hotel, the eerie activity that continues to this day, and why some believe the spirit of Colonel Eldridge still checks in guests from the beyond.

What if dying wasn't the end, but the beginning of something far more extraordinary? Shawn Barry Farewell, author of Fallen from the Light, shares his powerful and deeply personal story. Diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of terminal cancer, Shawn faced unimaginable pain and fear. But in the darkest moment of his life—on the night he flatlined—everything changed. He crossed over, stood before God, and came back with a message that would alter his understanding of life, death, and everything in between. Shawn's journey is filled with profound encounters with spirits, angels, and even darker forces. At the heart of it all is Gloria, a radiant guardian angel he believes was sent to him by God. Gloria's presence offered unwavering comfort, wisdom, and guidance through his most harrowing moments—both in the physical and spiritual realms. From supernatural visions to battles of faith, Shawn's story is one of courage, revelation, and hope. His story is a reminder that there's more to this world—and the next—than meets the eye. This is Part Two of our conversation. You can get the book on Amazon or wherever books are sold, you can choose from the beautiful colour edition, or the more budget-friendly black-and-white version.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Carthage, Tennessee, is situated at the confluence of two rivers, and it served as a strategic post during the Civil War, acting as a major Federal base in the battle for the Upper Cumberland River region. In the heart of this small town, you'll find the Smith County Courthouse, constructed between 1877 and 1879, standing proudly on the downtown square. This architectural gem, praised as the "handsomest in the state" back in the day, is a stunning example of the Second Empire style, and it's no wonder that in 1979, it earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. But behind its elegant façade lies a dark and eerie history. The courthouse, the second to be built on this site, has witnessed public hangings and untimely deaths, leaving restless spirits in its wake, like "Jeff," who seems to rule the third floor, Paul, who tragically died on the first floor during a Christmas event, and a mysterious lady who haunts the stairs. Today on the Grave Talks, the Spirits of the Smith County Courthouse, a conversation with Steven Denson of Mid-Tenn Paranormal.

Tucked away in the heart of Springfield, Missouri, stands a towering limestone fortress with a past as layered and mysterious as its walls, the Pythian Castle. Built in 1913 by the secretive Knights of Pythias, it was never meant for rituals or brotherhood meetings. Instead, it was a home for aging members nearing life's end and orphaned children left behind by tragedy.  But that was only the beginning. During World War II, the U.S. military took over, transforming the castle into a rehabilitation center and a holding site for prisoners of war. Rumors of confinement, hidden tunnels, and unspoken wartime horrors still linger in the basement shadows. More than a century later, the castle still stands—and, it seems, so do its former residents. Disembodied voices ripple through the marble lobby. Doors slam where no one walks. Children's laughter echoes in its halls, as does a woman's greeting, but who, and where, is she? Today, we step inside the haunted Pythian Castle with Melissa Thuro —where history never rests, and it seems, neither do the spirits. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Ross House, built in 1895 in Bellaire, Ohio, is a captivating abode with a rich history of paranormal activity, drawing in all who cross its threshold. Could the activity stem from the Ross House's connection to a powerful ley line? Do the nearby train tracks and the Ohio River contribute to the hauntings? Step through the doors of the Ross House, and you can feel the energy shift. It's believed that a dark spirit named Alfred now calls the Ross House home, and he isn't always kind to its guests. It also seems that one of the former owners, Marie Gretros, never did leave her beloved home. Could the antique store that is attached to the Ross House also contribute to its hauntings?

Today, we venture into the shadowy charm of The Haunted Dollhouse Museum in San Antonio—a place where porcelain faces smile sweetly… and might be secretly watching you. Giovanna Albrecht, is the museum's founder, curator, and fearless caretaker of hundreds of dolls, many of which are rumored to harbor the energy—and perhaps the spirits—of their former owners. She takes us behind the scenes of this historic home-turned-paranormal hub, sharing spine-tingling tales of haunted artifacts, strange happenings, and visitors who left with more questions than answers… and maybe an extra presence tagging along. From late-night ghost hunts to dolls that seem to move on their own, this creepy-cute destination blurs the line between the delightful and the disturbing. Whether you're a hardened investigator or someone who sleeps with the lights on, this is your invitation to explore the unsettling charm of a place where the dolls don't always stay silent. This is Part Two of our conversation. For more information, visit their website at forgottendollhousemuseum.com and you can make a donation to help the dolls. Every dollar helps!
