Podcasts about haunting

For her, the paranormal wasn't a passing moment — it was a presence. A watcher. Something that clung to her across state lines, across homes, across every desperate attempt to escape it. What began as whispers, light touches, and unexplained anger soon grew into something far more intelligent… and far more dangerous. It started the night she saw a man walk through a locked front door — a man dead for over a decade. It escalated when her infant daughter began laughing in her sleep at something no one else could see. But the moment everything changed was the night a faceless boy appeared in her bedroom doorway… staring straight at her as her daughter screamed. This is not just a haunting. Not just an attachment. This is a story about a spirit that learned her name… followed her… and refused to let go. #paranormal #ghoststories #haunted #attachment #facelessentity #haunting #creepyencounters #realghoststory #supernatural #poltergeist #scarybuttrue #horrorstories Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For generations, the former St. Vincent Academy in Western Kentucky has carried a reputation that few locations can match—one of layered history, quiet tragedy, and persistent paranormal activity. Once a Catholic orphanage serving children in need, the building now stands as a focal point of unexplained occurrences that have touched not only investigators, but the local community itself. Paranormal researcher Steve Asher, has explored the Academy and the surrounding area extensively. He shares the stories passed down by residents—people who have lived their entire lives beside these walls and have experienced phenomena they cannot ignore. From subtle movements and disembodied voices to the deeper question of why this land seems so spiritually charged, Steve guides us through the layered mystery of a region that has been active long before the Academy was ever built. What draws spirits to this place? Who are the entities that linger? And why does this community experience the paranormal so consistently?

The Devil didn't confine his shenanigans to Salem Village or even the Massachusetts Bay colony in the 1600s. A penchant for hanging and persecuting those believed to be in league with him swept through the colonies in those days, leading to many tragedies and deaths. But the madness the Puritans introduced in that period drained America of its lust for religions mania and fanaticism for many years to come. The hardship, brutality, and war that followed over the next century and a half sent the broken and the disillusioned in search of enlightenment. In the 1820s and 1830s religious excitement began to sweep the country, and soon new churches, sects, and cults began to emerge. This new age would be dubbed “The Great Awakening” and while none of these new groups would compare with the strictness of the Puritans, a devout belief in the works of the Devil remained.As did an unhinged belief in doomsday, the Antichrist, and the end of the world.Our Sponsors:* Check out CBDfx and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntings* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/HAUNTINGSSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-hauntings-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Darkness Radio Presents:  The Smurl Haunting: When Ed and Lorraine Came To Town w/ Researcher/Journalist/Author, Maxim W. Furek! Called Pennsylvania's “Amityville Horror,” the Smurl family's nightmare of demonic possession is the subject of both the current motion picture, Conjuring: Last Rites, and this book. Venturing far beyond the West Pittston coal region, author Maxim W. Furek's narrative explores the dark crawlspaces of High Hopes, the Hinsdale House, the damned Welles House, and good and evil, as seen through the eyes of history's foremost exorcists and psychics, such as the mysterious Fr. Alphonsus Trabold O.F.M and Alexander Tanous. There was something of the supernatural channeling through Furek that inspired him to write this book. The 92-year-old West Pittston Smurl duplex was a half-hour drive from his home, and, during their 15-city book tour promoting The Haunted, the author befriended Ed and Lorraine Warren. And sadly, Furek met Annabelle handler Dan Rivera, the day before he died during the 2025 “Devils on the Run” Tour in Gettysburg.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Not all hauntings reveal themselves in the same way — and not every investigation can be solved with EMF meters and night-vision cameras. That's where Second Sight Paranormal and Forensic Services stands apart. Led by psychic medium Ericka Boussarhane, the team approaches hauntings with a blend of intuition, investigative training, and real-world expertise. Former military police, legal experts, behavioral analysts, and seasoned intuitives work together to uncover what's truly happening inside a location — not just what people think they're experiencing. Whether it's a home filled with unexplained shadows, a business plagued by recurring disturbances, or a property owner convinced something ancient has taken hold, Second Sight dives deep into the layers of each haunting. They gather evidence, study patterns, interview witnesses, and combine their skills to separate natural causes from the undeniably paranormal. In this episode, Ericka and team member Shannon Pringle take us inside their process — the red flags they look for, the moments that still haunt them, and the encounters that defy every rule of investigation. For more information on their unique team, visit their website at secondsightparanormal.com.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Beneath Charleston's charm lies a history shaped by conflict, punishment, and fear—few places embody that legacy more than the Old Dungeon. For centuries, its stone walls confined pirates, traitors, dissidents, and anyone who fell on the wrong side of power. Some were held briefly. Others never left. And the stories carved into the Dungeon's past are as complex as the city itself: harsh justice, survival, corruption, and the echoes of lives abruptly altered. Today, the Dungeon stands open to the public, part museum, part warning, part memorial. Yet visitors and guides alike report that something within those walls still stirs as if the energy of its long-ago inmates hasn't quieted with time. As if some conflicts remain unresolved. We step inside Charleston's most infamous holding place to examine the lives it touched, the shadows it kept, and the lingering question: when a building has witnessed this much suffering, does the past ever truly let go?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin stands a mansion whose reputation is as chilling as the winds that sweep across its decaying foundations. Summerwind Mansion, built in the early 20th century, has become one of the most infamous paranormal locations in the Midwest — a place where hauntings, tragedy, and madness seem woven into the very walls. For more than a century, families who attempted to live within its halls reported overwhelming dread, unexplainable activity, and encounters that pushed some to the brink of sanity. From apparitions and disembodied voices to aggressive energies that seemed determined to drive residents out, Summerwind earned a reputation for being a house few could endure for long. But why does this mansion wield such power over those who step inside? What forces linger there, and why do they remain so active after decades of abandonment? We explore the unsettling history behind Summerwind Mansion, the stories of those who fled in fear, and the legends that continue to surround its crumbling structure.

Welcome, my ghoulish fiends. The Smurl family claimed their West Pittston duplex was overtaken by a violent, calculating force that wanted more than their fear, it wanted their bodies and their faith. Over fourteen years, they reported whispers, apparitions, assaults, and a darkness that grew stronger the longer it was ignored. Even seasoned investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren called it one of their most disturbing cases. In this episode, I dig into the documented chaos, the Church's hesitation, and the terrifying question that still lingers on Chase Street. Was something truly hunting the Smurls... or does evil simply wear the face of an ordinary home?***Listener Discretion is Strongly Advised.*******************Sources:The Haunted: One Family's Nightmare — Robert Curran, Ed & Lorraine WarrenScranton Times Archives (1974–1989)Citizens' Voice Interview with Janet Smurl (1986)Ed and Lorraine Warren Case Files, N.E.S.P.R.The Morning Call (Pennsylvania), 1986 CoverageLocal testimonies collected in Haunted Pennsylvania (1994)****************Leave Us a 5* Rating, it really helps the show!Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-unlocked-the-podcast/id1522636282Spotify Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/37MLxC8eRob1D0ZcgcCorA****************Follow Us on Social Media & Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!YouTube:@beautyunlockedspodcasthourTikTok:tiktok.com/@beautyunlockedthepod****************Music & SFX Attribution:Epidemic SoundFind the perfect track on Epidemic Sound for your content and take it to the next level!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! From the moment his dad moved in, the house carried an uneasy energy, amplified by an unsettling warning from a local who was written off as “crazy” by the town. But it didn't take long for Wes's family to realize the man wasn't crazy at all — he was the only one telling the truth. What began as strange activity escalated into something far darker: physical disturbances, emotional strain, and encounters that pushed the family to their breaking point. In desperation, they turned to prayer, faith, and the support of those who believed in the power of spiritual protection. But the question remained — could prayer silence the shadows, or would the darkness push back harder? In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore Wes's family's harrowing experience inside a home where fear and faith collided. Their story is a reminder that sometimes, the past refuses to rest… and the spirits inside a house may have no intention of sharing it.

When they gazed at the moon, medieval people around the globe saw an object that was at once powerful and fragile, distant and intimate—and sometimes all this at once. The moon could convey love, beauty, and gentleness; but it could also be about pain, hatred, and violence. In its circularity the moon was associated with fullness and fertility. Yet in its crescent and other shifting forms, the moon could seem broken, even wounded.  In this beautifully illustrated history The Medieval Moon: A History of Haunting and Blessing (Yale UP, 2025), Ayoush Lazikani reveals the many ways medieval people felt and wrote about the moon. Ranging across the world, from China to South America, Korea to Wales, Lazikani explores how different cultures interacted with the moon. From the idea that the Black Death was caused by a lunar eclipse to the wealth of Persian love poetry inspired by the moon's beauty, this is a truly global account of our closest celestial neighbour. Ayoush Lazikani is a lecturer at the University of Oxford. A specialist in medieval literature, she is the author of Cultivating the Heart and Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts, 1100–1250, and an associate editor for the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Medieval Women's Writing in the Global Middle Ages. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

What happens when a haunting, a babysitting job, and a time-bending nightmare collide? Today I'm diving into The Babysitter Lives by Stephen Graham Jones — a Halloween-set horror story that mixes ghosts, trauma, looping realities, and SGJ's signature genre-warping style.In this spoiler-lite review, I'll break down the book's premise, how it's been received, why I picked it up as part of my 2025 Stephen Graham Jones reading streak, and what really worked for me… along with the one part of the ending that left me yelling, “Wait, WHAT?!”(All in a good way.)Whether you're a longtime SGJ fan or just curious whether this audiobook-original horror tale is worth your time, this episode will help you decide if The Babysitter Lives belongs on your TBR — or your headphones.

Some hauntings linger in old stone houses. Others cling to attics, staircases, or forgotten rooms. But every so often, a haunting chooses a person—and once it does, it doesn't seem interested in letting go. For Sarah, the first encounter came before she even understood the concept of a ghost: a man sitting on the staircase of her family's 400-year-old mining house in Cornwall, two dogs quietly at his side. Solid. Present. Silent. She stepped around him as casually as a child walks past a family member. Only later did she realize no one else ever saw him. Touches. Lights. Migraines. Names spoken in her mind. Objects vanishing. Spirits confirmed by mediums who knew nothing of her experiences. And everywhere she went, the same unnerving feeling: She was being noticed. We explore the unsettling possibility that the haunting was never tied to a place at all…but to Sarah herself. #HauntedLife #SensitiveToSpirits #CornwallGhosts #ParanormalExperiences #LivingWithGhosts #ParanormalActivity #SpiritualAttachment #GhostEncounters #HauntedSinceChildhood #ShadowWatchers  Love real ghost stories?

For Sarah, the first encounter came before she even understood the concept of a ghost: a man sitting on the staircase of her family's 400-year-old mining house in Cornwall, two dogs quietly at his side. Solid. Present. Silent. She stepped around him as casually as a child walks past a family member. Only later did she realize no one else ever saw him. Touches. Lights. Migraines. Names spoken in her mind. Objects vanishing. Spirits confirmed by mediums who knew nothing of her experiences. And everywhere she went, the same unnerving feeling: She was being noticed. We explore the unsettling possibility that the haunting was never tied to a place at all…but to Sarah herself. #HauntedLife #SensitiveToSpirits #CornwallGhosts #ParanormalExperiences #LivingWithGhosts #ParanormalActivity #SpiritualAttachment #GhostEncounters #HauntedSinceChildhood #ShadowWatchers Love real ghost stories?

The terrible incident at Salem was not the last American witch hunt. It was also not the end of Puritan oppression in the region. They would leave a last impact on both New England and American history.And no aspect of the Puritan experience remains as vivid in American memory as their fear of monsters, specifically the fear of witches that led to the trials of hundreds of settlers during the 1600s. For most of us today, the witch trials seem to be a brief flirtation with an irrational past. But there was nothing irrational about Salem to the Puritans. They hunted monsters for a generation before Salem, believing that strange creatures lurked in the “howling wilderness.” They imagined their religious experience as a war with monstrous beings birthed by the Devil. It was a struggle with the forces of darkness that turned the New World into a place teeming with such monsters in the minds of the Puritans.Our Sponsors:* Check out CBDfx and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntings* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/HAUNTINGSSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-hauntings-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chris and Gerry step back into merry old Pariee as they revisit The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), one of the most iconic and emotionally powerful films of Hollywood's Golden Age. In this video, we break down Charles Laughton's unforgettable performance as Quasimodo, explore the film's groundbreaking makeup and set design, and discuss how this adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel shaped the future of classic cinema.  We'll look at the film's themes of compassion, justice, and superstion vs. reality. Whether you're a longtime fan of classic Hollywood or discovering this masterpiece for the first time, this review offers fresh insight into why the 1939 Hunchback of Notre Dame still resonates today.

But nothing compares to what unfolded after the heartbreaking loss of his beloved dog, Lacey, in 2024.Her passing left a deep emotional void, and in that vulnerable space, something negative crept in. Jim began sensing a heavy presence watching from the corner of his home, an oppressive force that drained his energy, twisted his emotions, and fed on his grief. What followed was a terrifying escalation: intrusive thoughts, waves of hopelessness, and a vivid nightmare that exploded into sleep paralysis, complete with crawling shadow “spiders” covering the ceiling of his bedroom.Drawing from past guidance and years of experience dealing with the paranormal, Jim attempted multiple cleansing methods, but the darkness only dug in deeper. Eventually, he reached out for help, leading to a remote clearing session that brought both clarity and a disturbing twist: none of the audio he recorded survived, and his ghost cam mysteriously captured silence where there should have been hours of sound.Though life returned to normal for nearly a year, a sudden explosive noise in an empty room loud enough to send his cat bolting outside suggests the quiet may not be permanent.Chris dives into Jim's account, the emotional weight behind the haunting, and the eerie patterns that hint at a lifelong connection to the unexplained.Support the showSOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @TWRoadpodcastIG: twroadpodcastWant to be a guest or share your paranormal experiences?

When Ron and Nancy Stallings found the old Victorian on Evergreen Street in Baltimore, they thought their dreams had come true. With each bringing three kids from a previous marriage into the relationship, they needed to find a house large enough to accommodate their large family, but their limited income made that seem impossible. So, when they learned that the house was being offered at a bargain price, Ron and Nancy didn't hesitate to put in an offer—a decision they would soon come to regret.In the years that the Stallings family occupied the home on Evergreen Street, they encountered a variety of paranormal activity, from the faucets and lights turning themselves on and off to the disembodied voices and apparitions of strangers in the home. Rather than be captives in their home to forces they could neither fight nor understand, Ron and Nancy decided to take action to rid themselves of the other worldly presence, but quickly realized they were woefully unprepared for the battle that lay before them.ReferencesAmodio, Joe. 2005.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! High in the mountains of Bisbee, Arizona, stands a hotel built during the height of the copper boom — a grand structure meant to showcase wealth, innovation, and the promise of a growing Western city. When the Copper Queen Hotel opened in 1902, Bisbee was the largest urban center between St. Louis and San Francisco, alive with miners, rail travelers, and fortune-seekers. More than a century later, the Copper Queen still welcomes guests… but not all of them are living. Arizona's oldest continuously operating hotel has hosted icons like John Wayne, Marlon Brando, and Harry Houdini. Yet the names most often whispered through its halls belong to those who linger long after checkout: Julia Lowell, a young boy known as Billy, and the elusive “Smoking Man.” In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Jenna Lampinen to explore the legends, encounters, and unexplainable moments tied to one of Arizona's most famously haunted hotels. This is Part Two of our conversation. If you'd like information on staying at the hotel or paranormal investigations, contact Jenna Lampinen.

Some hauntings don't cling to houses — they cling to people. They slip into a life quietly, rearranging objects, bending routines, and whispering their presence into the smallest moments… until years later, you realize they never left. What began in a simple Iowa City apartment surrounded by headstones evolved into something far more personal: a force that followed him through duty stations, breakups, new homes, and even fatherhood. It learned him. Adjusted to him. Grew bolder with every move. And no matter how many miles he put between himself and the past, the past kept finding him — opening doors, rearranging belongings, speaking in empty houses, and watching his loved ones in the dark. This is not the story of a place. It is the story of an attachment. One that has waited decades. One that has grown patient. One that still isn't finished. #paranormalattachment #hauntedlife #entityfollows #unexplainedactivity #darkpresence #lifelonghaunting #shadowwatcher #paranormalstories #thegravetalks #hauntingsurvivor Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What if everything we've believed about ghosts is rooted in misunderstanding? In this episode of The Grave Talks, paranormal researcher Aaron G. Thompson challenges long-held assumptions about hauntings and introduces a radically different framework for understanding the supernatural. Instead of demons, malevolent entities, or lost souls, Aaron proposes something far more complex — and far more fascinating. Through the lens of Echo Terrestrial Quantum Mechanics, he explores the possibility that spirits may be misunderstood energy forms acting within dimensions we barely comprehend. According to this theory, hauntings might not be intentional interactions at all, but natural energetic echoes, fluctuations, and overlaps between quantum layers of existence. Why do certain places remain active for centuries? Why do hauntings repeat? And could paranormal encounters be less about fear… and more about physics? Aaron walks us through the science, the patterns, and the evidence that shape his groundbreaking perspective. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this conversation may change the way you view the paranormal world.

In this explosive episode, paranormal researcher and religious demonologist Nathaniel Gillis joins the show to break down one of the most controversial theories in the entire UFO community: Are "aliens" actually ancient, non-human intelligences — the same entities our ancestors called demons? Gillis reveals his research into possession cases, sigils, abductions, shadow beings, implants, and interdimensional entities that appear to operate under the same patterns across history. We discuss:    Why modern UFO encounters mirror ancient demonic encounters  The parasitic intelligence behind hauntings and abductions  Why these beings may not be extraterrestrial, but extra-dimensional  Ritual technology, sigils, and the symbols found on abductees  How NASA, mythology, and demonology all connect  Why this "one intelligence, many masks" theory is gaining traction fast  What these entities ultimately want from humanity   If you're interested in UFOs, demonology, paranormal research, hidden history, or the nature of non-human intelligence… this is the episode you can't afford to miss.

Looking for a chilling Christmas horror story with ghosts, storms, and a cursed secret? This holiday horror episode of Weekly Spooky takes you to the Florida coast on Christmas Eve, where there's no snow—just black water, violent wind, and something in the dark that refuses to let go.Chet Miller is a grieving widower spending Christmas alone in Nokomis, Florida, the TV off and a vintage Christmas radio humming carols in the corner. When a sudden Christmas hurricane slams into the coast, he refuses to evacuate. He's convinced his late wife is still with him in the house, and he won't abandon her memory… or the mysterious leather journal he keeps close at hand. As the storm intensifies outside, the whispers inside his home grow stronger, and the line between grief and haunting starts to tear open.With floodwater creeping under the door, power lines snapping, and that old radio picking up voices it shouldn't, Chet finds himself trapped between the rising storm and a presence that wants more than his company. Is it the ghost of the woman he loved, or something far older answering a desperate, dangerous wish? On this night, the biggest threat may not be the hurricane—but what he invited in when nobody was listening.If you love Christmas ghost stories, coastal horror, and supernatural thrillers where the weather and the haunting hit at the same time, this creepy Christmas podcast episode is the perfect dark companion for your winter nights. Turn off the lights, turn up the volume, and find out what happens when the weather outside is more than just frightful.The Weather Outside Is Frightful — by Charles Campbell

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro and Kat dive deep into the mind-bending story of Michel Siffre, the French researcher who willingly descended into total darkness—twice—to learn what happens when humans are cut off from time itself. With no sunlight, no clocks, and no sense of day or night, Siffre's body drifted into bizarre 30- to 48-hour “days,” entire memories vanished, and even astronauts later admitted they'd felt the same disorienting effects in space. His experiments reshaped our understanding of circadian rhythms, aging, mental endurance, and the mysterious internal clocks that tick inside us all. Then, the show shifts from inner space to inner hauntings with the chilling tale of the Joy Hotel's haunted electric player piano in Pittsburg, Kansas. This wasn't your typical whispered-once urban legend—its eerie late-night melodies were documented in the 1930s by the WPA Folklore Project and confirmed by hotel employees who watched its keys move with no power and no player roll turning. Desk clerks, housekeepers, and even the handyman swore they saw it come alive…sometimes humming along…always cheerful at the worst possible moments. A piano that played only when it wanted to—and stopped the moment someone got too close. It's isolation, time distortion, ghostly ragtime, and the unsettling reminder that the world gets weirdest when nobody's watching. If you love psychological mysteries, paranormal folklore, and the beautifully bizarre, this one's a can't-miss. human circadian rhythm experiment, Michel Siffre cave study, internal clocks, time perception research, astronauts' sleep cycles, haunted player piano, Pittsburg, Kansas ghost stories, Joy Hotel haunting, WPA folklore ghost accounts, paranormal piano story, Box of Oddities episode This Box Contains The following Ingredients: human circadian rhythm experiment, Michel Siffre cave study, internal clocks, time perception research, astronauts' sleep cycles, haunted player piano, Pittsburg, Kansas ghost stories, Joy Hotel haunting, WPA folklore ghost accounts, paranormal piano story, Box of Oddities episode Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sabrina is on location at the legendary Guy Fawkes Inn in York, one of England's most haunted cities and the birthplace of the notorious rebel himself. Surrounded by crooked medieval architecture and history practically breathing down her neck, she dives into Guy Fawkes' explosive life and tragic end while sitting just steps away from where it all began. But the real chills come from the inn's paranormal residents. In the infamous Belfry Suite, guests report children running through empty rooms and waking up violently ill at 3 a.m., while staff casually recount having their hair yanked by unseen hands. Sabrina gathers firsthand stories of paranormal activity that has kept this place legendary for centuries. Plus, we've got a listener story from “Dr. Ghost,” who has a PhD in ghost beliefs.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Most hauntings rattle the nerves. Chris Brown's tried to break him. While other teenagers worried about final exams, summer plans, and awkward heartbreaks, Chris spent four crucial years looking over his shoulder—because something in his home wanted him terrified. And it wanted him gone. From age fourteen to eighteen, the activity escalated with an intelligence that seemed almost strategic. Doors didn't just slam; they targeted moments of vulnerability. Shadows didn't merely flicker; they lingered, observing. Whatever lived in that house wasn't content with stealing sleep—it seemed set on driving Chris and his family out, or perhaps pushing them toward something far worse. But why? What provokes that level of hostility from the unseen? And what made Chris the focal point of its rage? In this episode of The Grave Talks, we walk with Chris back into the home that shaped his adolescence through fear. We explore the entity's terrifying progression, the emotional toll it took, and the unsettling questions it left behind. Was this a spirit fueled by past tragedy? A darker force that latched onto a vulnerable teen? Or something far older that had no intention of sharing its space?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Most hauntings rattle the nerves. Chris Brown's tried to break him. While other teenagers worried about final exams, summer plans, and awkward heartbreaks, Chris spent four crucial years looking over his shoulder—because something in his home wanted him terrified. And it wanted him gone. From age fourteen to eighteen, the activity escalated with an intelligence that seemed almost strategic. Doors didn't just slam; they targeted moments of vulnerability. Shadows didn't merely flicker; they lingered, observing. Whatever lived in that house wasn't content with stealing sleep—it seemed set on driving Chris and his family out, or perhaps pushing them toward something far worse. But why? What provokes that level of hostility from the unseen? And what made Chris the focal point of its rage? In this episode of The Grave Talks, we walk with Chris back into the home that shaped his adolescence through fear. We explore the entity's terrifying progression, the emotional toll it took, and the unsettling questions it left behind. Was this a spirit fueled by past tragedy? A darker force that latched onto a vulnerable teen? Or something far older that had no intention of sharing its space? This is a story of endurance, trauma, and the human instinct to survive—even when the enemy is unseen. #HauntedHome #MalevolentSpirit #RealGhostStories #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #DarkEntity #TeenageHaunting #SupernaturalForces #UnexplainedPhenomena #SpiritActivity  Love real ghost stories?

It started with a witch in Providence. In the 1970s, Joe Cetrone's parents befriended a practicing Satanist — a woman who conducted séances, summoned spirits, and claimed to enter people's dreams. Joe was just four years old. By seven, he'd had his first encounter with something inhuman standing beside his bed on Christmas morning. Decades later, Joe became a paranormal investigator, appearing on Travel Channel's Haunted Case Files and Paranormal Survivor. He investigated the infamous Sallie House. He captured an EVP that made pastors uncomfortable — a demonic growl responding to the name of Jesus Christ.But when his own son was physically attacked by an entity, Joe faced a reckoning. The fame he'd been chasing came at a price he wasn't willing to pay.In this episode, Joe tells the whole story — the parts the TV shows left out, the evidence that convinced him the spiritual realm is real, and why he walked away from ghost hunting to write his memoir, Chasing Shadows. Joe also discusses the UFO-Bigfoot connection, why analog equipment captures things digital can't, what demons look like on camera, and his conversations with Chuck Missler, LA Marzulli, and Russ Dizdar.
