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! For most kids, “acting out” means fighting bedtime.

In this episode of The Grave Talks, we follow David's journey from involuntary host to seasoned investigator, piecing together how a brush with the demonic shaped his life's mission. What does it take to confront forces dark enough to derail your childhood—and then dedicate your adult life to protecting others from the same? 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.

While casually filming a video for a friend, Tyler captured something chilling: a strange, echoey voice that sounded eerily like children talking through a plastic tunnel slide. The voice wasn't from the upstairs TV, and there was nothing else that could've made the sound. Even more unnerving? Just an hour earlier, Tyler saw a shadow figure and what looked like a white orb in the same part of the basement. Whether it's coincidence or confirmation, Tyler now knows—he's definitely not alone down there. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Before “podcasting” was even a buzzword, Jim Harold was sitting around a virtual campfire collecting everyone's creepiest true-life tales. Now—thousands of episodes later—he's the paranormal world's most trusted ringmaster, equal parts broadcaster, archivist, and late-night therapist for the supernaturally scarred. In this episode, we flip the script and ask Jim what it's like to spend decades knee-deep in Ouija boards, black-eyed kids, and callers who casually mention, “Oh, by the way, the demon is still here.” From podcast infancy to today's booming fright-fest, Jim shares the highs, the how-did-I-get-here's, and why the unexplained never gets old.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Booming derricks, Jazz Age decadence, and a fortune gushing straight from the California earth—Greystone Mansion was born of 1920s oil money and built to dwarf every other residence in Beverly Hills. At 47,000 square feet of concrete, limestone, and raw ambition, the estate became the backdrop for glittering parties where Hollywood legends clinked glasses beneath crystal chandeliers. But opulence has a price, and the Doheny family soon paid in tragedy: a mysterious 1929 murder-suicide that still stains the marble halls. Nearly a century later, guests and film crews whisper about cold spots, shadow figures, and the echo of a single gunshot reverberating through empty corridors. In this episode, author and Greystone docent Clete Keith walks us through the mansion's turbulent history, spanning oil booms, scandal, and a lingering darkness that refuses to leave. Step past the wrought-iron gates and discover why Greystone's grandeur is matched only by its ghosts. If you enjoy our interviews and conversations about "The Dead," why not listen ad-free?

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.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! History books say the USS Hornet was decommissioned in 1970—yet countless witnesses swear her crew still marches the steel decks. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we set sail (without leaving dock) through hangars that echo with phantom propellers, sick bays where shadow med-techs still make rounds, and officers' quarters where unseen hands slam hatches shut. Hear first-hand accounts from docents, veterans, and investigators who've chased disembodied footsteps into dead-end corridors, captured EVP of frantic battle stations, and seen full-bodied apparitions vanish beneath red emergency lights. Was the Hornet's combat toll simply too heavy to discharge, or did the proud carrier become a spiritual safe harbor for every soul who called her home?

What happens when you bring a ghost-hunting app into a funeral home? One listener did just that while accompanying his partner, a funeral director, on late-night calls—and what began as a way to pass the time turned into something far more personal. A name appeared on the screen: Zachary. Then came the word spade as the camera rested on a shovel, followed by disrespectful after bodies were moved. But instead of escalating activity, something strange happened once everyone began acknowledging the spirit. Now Zachary has his own "Employee of the Month" poster—and the funeral home feels... peaceful. For now. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! On this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Rachelle Rozzo and Jim Backus, two of the leading investigators of the infamous Haunted Hill View Manor. Once a facility for the elderly and mentally ill, Hill View's halls have never truly emptied.

When a college fabrication lab becomes more than just a place for welding and woodworking, one student starts piecing together something eerie. After multiple run-ins with strange sensations, flickering lights, and mysterious footsteps, a professor finally reveals the truth: the woodshop is haunted by the spirit of a former teacher named Todd, who died unexpectedly in the room. As more students and staff come forward with their own chilling experiences—including disembodied voices and a Christmas Eve scare—it becomes clear that Todd never really clocked out. He's still walking the halls, turning on machines… and watching from the shadows. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Not every bump in the night is a ghost—and that's exactly what the Paranormal Investigators of Milwaukee (PIM) are determined to find out. Founded in 2007 by Noah Leigh, PIM uses a scientific approach to investigate claims of paranormal activity in private homes, businesses, and some of the most famously haunted locations across the country. With a focus on critical thinking, environmental monitoring, and evidence-based conclusions, PIM works to separate the explainable from the truly unexplainable. Their goal? To uncover the truth—whether it confirms the supernatural or points to something far more mundane. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Noah Leigh and lead investigator Gravy to discuss their most compelling investigations, how their techniques challenge traditional ghost hunting, and what it's really like to confront the unknown with science as your guide.

Nestled on the edge of a glacier-carved lake in upstate New York sits Elm Lodge—a family home since 1863, once a hotel, and forever known by locals as haunted. In this episode, a listener shares just the beginning of a legacy filled with spirits and history. One summer night, while stargazing from a canoe on the water, she and her best friend saw a light turn on in the empty house… and a large figure standing at the window. The figure vanished before their eyes, but her father knew exactly who it was—her great-grandmother, still watching over the family she once guarded from that very same window.

From a young age, a listener from Bangladesh began seeing a man cloaked in traditional Islamic attire—bearded, calm, and saintly. But what seemed spiritual quickly took a terrifying turn. After losing two siblings to ALS, the visits became more intense. Scratches at the windows. Grunts in the night. Nightmares are worse than horror movies. And when his fiancée began seeing the same entity—without ever being told—it became clear: this was no ordinary haunting. With guidance from religious scholars and repeated warnings about a bloodline curse, he now believes an ancient demon is stalking him and his family. And it may never leave.

What began as a restless night in a sweltering college dorm turned into a terrifying encounter with something far darker than a bad dream. In this episode, one man recounts the night he dared a shadowy force—something he believes had followed him since childhood—to reveal itself. Staring into a dimly lit bathroom mirror, he challenged the darkness... and it answered. A chilling standoff with a figure that may have been more than a hallucination unfolded, lasting six hours—without him realizing. Was it a dream, a manifestation of trauma, or a direct glimpse into another realm? You decide. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When Kent J. Wolfe, his fiancé Maurine, and their young daughters moved into a secluded 1865 farmhouse in rural Michigan, they expected quiet country living—not a full-blown haunting. A lifelong skeptic, Kent tried to rationalize the cold spots, vanishing objects, phantom voices, and even the childlike apparition roaming from room to room. But as the unexplained piled up, disbelief gave way to something far stranger. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Kent to discuss his chilling new book, Ghost Theories: Raising a Family in a Haunted House, and what really happened inside those old walls.

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.

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. This is Part Two of our conversation.

He didn't believe in ghosts—until one summer night changed everything. While returning home with his son, they both watched a shadowy figure silently move from the kitchen to the hallway of their darkened home. Thinking it was one of the kids, they checked—no one was inside. What came next only deepened the mystery: footsteps, rooms found empty, and later, the unmistakable feeling of a finger trailing down his foot in the dead of night. And when a neighbor revealed who had died in the house, the pieces started to fall into place. Was the former owner still walking her halls? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Cielo Drive is whispered about in true-crime circles for one reason: tragedy refuses to loosen its grip on this sloping lane above Beverly Hills. Long before Hollywood knew its name, the land echoed with sorrow from clashes between Spanish settlers and the Tongva people. But the address seared into modern memory is 10050 Cielo Drive—the site of the 1969 murders that claimed the life of actress Sharon Tate and four others. In the late 1990s, producer David Oman and his father broke ground just a few doors away, intending to build their dream home. Almost immediately, David realized he'd invited more than contractors onto the property. Footsteps in empty hallways, full-bodied apparitions, and disembodied voices soon convinced him that the valley of shadows along Cielo isn't finished telling its story.

When a young woman buys her first home next to a quiet Southern church, no one expects the joy of a new chapter to unravel into something much darker. But from the moment her sister steps onto the property, a heavy, overwhelming sadness takes hold—an unseen force that only grows stronger. Panic attacks, strange blackness, memory loss, and a near-tragic event raise chilling questions: Was it the house, the land, or something that had never truly left?

First came five glowing pink, triangle-shaped craft hovering 100 feet above a snowy hill, vanishing with a turbine howl. Then, years later, three eerily luminescent “Blue Men” marched single-file across a midnight cornfield, sending the friends pedaling for their lives. A chance meeting with a 7-Eleven psychic upped the ante: she saw two spirits in his basement and warned of fiery catastrophe. Months later, the house burned to the ground—origin: the very room she named. UFOs, entities, predictions fulfilled—coincidence, or a trio cursed by their own combined energy?

An ordinary grocery run turns extraordinary when thunderous footsteps shake an old farmhouse, topple canned goods, and barrel into a child's bedroom—slamming the door and locking it from the inside. With both kids in plain sight, the parents watch in disbelief as the latch they installed to keep little hands out clicks shut all by itself. Forced to kick in the frame to get inside, they find the room empty…and no earthly explanation. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Lily saw “grave people” sprinting through the yard before preschool and, by fourth grade, dream-predicted Kobe Bryant's crash, a global shutdown, and long-buried family deaths. Medical tests cleared her; psychiatrists found no anxiety. Still, stomach pain spikes after spirit visits, and her older sister's own gift has recently surfaced. How do parents keep two intuitive teens grounded, loved, and safe when nightly drop-ins from the other side feel as routine as math homework? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Emily's childhood farmhouse in rural Minnesota hid more than loose floorboards: a bedroom light that glowed even with the switch off, phantom footsteps that her cat-crowd followed with wide eyes, and a face peeking from a sealed chimney pipe. Decades later, she and her husband slipped into the long-abandoned house for a quick look, only to find a body-shaped tape outline exactly where she and her mom once felt watched. When a family leaves, can the haunting ever quit the house? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

A paranormal investigator thought his co-op shift at Ottawa's Cumberland Heritage Museum would be routine—until the Dufour House slammed every shutter, turned summer air to ice, and dragged him upstairs to a blood-soaked bedroom that shouldn't exist. Trapped behind a door that felt welded shut, Matthew heard triple claw marks, angered a child spirit guarding a toy gun, and faced a towering black shadow that left him locked in a staring match for two full hours. Was it an overactive haunting—or the demon locals whisper about whenever babies burst into tears at the threshold? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.
