Jerry and Tracy discuss the infamous demon house of Gary, Indiana and talk to author Steve e Asher who wrote the book Hauntings of the Kentucky State Penitentiary.

In the sprawling city of São Paulo, a weekly practice known as devotion to souls (devoção às almas) draws devotees to Catholic churches, cemeteries, and other sites associated with tragic or unjust deaths. The living pray and light candles for the souls of the dead, remembering events and circumstances in a rite of collective suffering. Yet contemporary devotion to souls is not confined to Catholic adherents or fixed to specific locations. The practice is also linked to popular tours of haunted sites in the city, and it moves within an urban environment routinely marked by violence and death. While based in Catholic traditions, devotion to souls is as complex and multifaceted as religion itself in Brazil, where African, Portuguese, and other cultural forms have blended and evolved over centuries. Michael Amoruso's insightful work, Moved By The Dead: Haunting and Devotion in São Paulo, Brazil (University of North Carolina Press, 2025) uses the methods of ethnography, religious studies, and urban studies to consider how devotion to souls embodies, adapts, and challenges conventional ideas of religion as tethered to specific sites and practices. Examining devotees' varied ways of ascribing meaning to their actions, Amoruso argues that devotion to souls acts as a form of what he calls "mnemonic repair," tying the living to the dead in a struggle against the forces of forgetting. Michael Amoruso is assistant professor of religious studies at Occidental College. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation. She is the author of Visualizing Black Lives: Ownership and Control in Afro-Brazilian Media (University of Illinois Press). Learn more about your ad choices.

In this eerie story of unexpected terror, a newlywed couple finds their new life together disrupted by an unseen presence in their old basement apartment in American Fork, Utah. Initially dismissing strange occurrences as quirks of the house, they soon find themselves face-to-face with something far more sinister. Their peaceful home is turned upside down by nightly visits from strange orbs, unexplained movements of jewelry, and the chilling appearance of a man standing at the end of their bed. The couple enlists the help of a local paranormal investigation team, uncovering disturbing signs that suggest the spirit may be malevolent. When even prayers and blessings fail to rid the home of the entity, a mysterious ring from the wife's father becomes the key to stopping the activity. But how does this ring connect to the dark figure they captured on camera? And why did the father warn them to remove it from their home immediately?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When DeAnna Simpson signed the papers for a quaint Victorian on Maple Avenue in Hanover, Pennsylvania, she expected Pinterest projects and quiet evenings, not a priest sprinting out the front door with scorched shoes. Within days, her “dream home” became The Hanover Haunting: disembodied whispers drifting through baby monitors, doors slamming hard enough to crack frames, shadow figures pacing the hallway, and a biblical plague of locusts coating the porch. Desperate, DeAnna invited clergy, psychics, and paranormal TV crews, only to learn that some investigators stir the darkness more than they banish it. Burn marks on the floor, scratches on her arms, and a house that growled at night proved the entities weren't leaving without a fight. In this episode, DeAnna recounts the battles, the betrayals, and the high cost of living in a house the demons claim as their own.

With years of experience investigating some of Michigan's most haunted sites, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge, compelling stories, and chilling evidence gathered from the field. Whether you're a seasoned investigator or simply curious about what goes bump in the night, this episode is packed with firsthand accounts, eerie encounters, and the behind-the-scenes truth about what it's like to explore the spirit world. Southern Michigan Paranormals is one of the most respected investigative teams in the Midwest, known for their methodical approach, dedication to evidence-based research, and willingness to explore locations that many others wouldn't dare enter. Dan shares his journey into the paranormal — what sparked his interest, how his team came together, and some of the strangest cases they've tackled. From abandoned asylums to private homes plagued by unexplainable activity, the team has faced it all. Dan explains how they use a mix of traditional ghost-hunting tools like EMF meters, digital recorders, and thermal cameras, along with intuitive investigation techniques and historical research to uncover the truth behind reported hauntings. In this episode, Dan recounts a recent investigation where his team captured Class A EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) and full-body apparitions at a location with a dark past tied to tragedy and unrest. We discuss how fear and energy can linger in spaces, why certain buildings seem to attract supernatural activity, and how different spirits communicate. Dan also opens up about the personal toll and emotional experiences that come with this line of work. Not every spirit is friendly, and not every case ends with answers. Sometimes, just walking into a location can trigger intense feelings, headaches, or emotional shifts — something Dan and his team have experienced repeatedly. We also explore the differences between residual and intelligent hauntings, why some spirits may be trying to deliver a message, and how investigators determine if a haunting is genuine or caused by environmental or psychological factors. Dan offers insight into what homeowners should do if they believe their home is haunted, and he shares some advice for those looking to get into the field of paranormal research. One of the most compelling parts of this conversation is hearing about the camaraderie within the Southern Michigan Paranormals team. Dan talks about how trust and respect are crucial when exploring dangerous, decaying buildings or dealing with potentially malevolent forces. The paranormal isn't just about ghost stories — it's about teamwork, dedication, and maintaining a healthy level of skepticism while remaining open to possibilities.   This week's episode is not only packed with spooky tales but also offers a grounded and respectful look at the field of paranormal investigation. Whether you're tuning in for the thrills or to learn more about the methodology behind ghost hunting, Dan's stories and insights will leave you questioning what really happens after we leave this world.

When a schoolteacher's borrowed BBC computer began displaying mysterious messages from a 16th-century scholar and beings from the year 2109, it sparked one of England's most bewildering paranormal cases.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: In Victorian London, a grisly murder case involving Maria and Frederick Manning shocked society and caught the attention of Charles Dickens himself. What began as a love triangle turned into a chilling tale of greed, betrayal, and murder, culminating in a public execution that would challenge the very nature of capital punishment in Great Britain. (The Murderous Mannings) *** In 1720, amidst a perilous pirate attack on the Atlantic, a newborn's cry changed the course of destiny. Ocean-Born Mary, christened by buccaneers and gifted with a bolt of green silk, would grow from a maritime legend into a symbol of courage and resilience in colonial New England, her extraordinary birth weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction that continues to captivate imaginations centuries later. (A Pirate's Godchild, Ocean-Born Mary) *** On the morning of June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates shocked the nation by drowning her five children, one by one, in the family bathtub. Years of untreated mental illness, compounded by religious fanaticism and postpartum psychosis, culminated in this unimaginable tragedy. Was it the work of a tortured mind, or something darker at play? (Did The Devil Make Her Do It?) *** Deep in the ancient folds of the Appalachian Mountains, where time seems to slow and shadows linger, legends have taken root for millennia. These peaks have become a breeding ground for supernatural tales that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The sheer age and untamed nature of Appalachia have given birth to a rich tapestry of myths, from the Mothman, to ghosts, to the Devil himself. (Modern Mythology and Ancient Appalachia) *** In the heart of Preston, Ladywell Street is infamous for a chilling spectral presence capable of shifting forms—from eerie footsteps to a blood-soaked apparition known as the Bannister Doll. Once a beautiful young woman, Dolly Bannister met a tragic death at the hands of her father, a punishment for a crime she didn't commit. Now, her restless spirit seeks retribution, haunting the streets and striking fear into anyone who dares to cross her path. (The Haunting of Ladywell Street) *** In 1984, a sleepy English village became the unlikely stage for a mind-bending mystery when a schoolteacher's computer began receiving messages from a man claiming to be from 1546. As past and present collided through a BBC Micro, Ken Webster and his friends found themselves entangled in a web of Tudor English, future prophecies, and inexplicable phenomena that would challenge everything they thought they knew about time and technology.

Across centuries and continents, documented cases reveal supernatural forces that escalated beyond typical paranormal activity — resulting in physical harm, unexplained deaths, and encounters that defy conventional explanations.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: Many ghost stories are frightening but leave the person encountering them shaken, but no more worse for wear. Perhaps a light touch on the shoulder, the moving of an object, a whisper in the ear, or a cold chill for the more intense cases. But then there are those hauntings that leave the person hysterical… or physically hurt… or even dead. We'll look at some of the most violent ghosts and hauntings of all time. (History's Most Violent Ghosts) *** Dixon, Illinois needed a bridge – Mr. L.E. Truesdell was an expert bridge builder. But people had doubts as to whether what he was being asked to do could be accomplished. The naysayers were ignored – and tragedy arrived, (The Truesdell Bridge Disaster) *** The witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts were horrid… the trials in Europe even more so. Now, imagine being a soldier tried as a witch because you returned with supernatural knowledge imparted to you after you were abducted by extraterrestrials. It sounds like the makings of a terrible novel and an even worse movie… but it's the true story of Major Thomas Weir. (The True Story of the Alien Abduction Witch Trial) *** He's believed to have killed over 50 women inside his soundproof torture trailer – which he called his “toy box.” We'll look at the case of serial killer David Parker Ray. (Evils of the Toybox Killer) *** Our criminal justice system tries to be the most fair in the world – considering the accused “innocent until proven guilty.” And while our system is not perfect, for the most part it does its job well. But because it is not perfect, once in a while a murderer walks… or even worse, an innocent defendant goes to prison. And in some cases, that innocent person is convicted and imprisoned based on one thing – they confessed to the crime that they didn't commit. Why would someone do that? (Why Do Innocent People Confess?) *** Port St. Lucie, Florida is full of disturbing urban legends – some true, many false – as urban legends go. But somehow, most all of these terrifying stories tie back to a single oak tree in a neighborhood park, and Florida's first serial killer.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the harrowing tale of the Iroquois Theater fire of 1903, a catastrophe that claimed over 600 lives and left an indelible mark on Chicago's history. We'll explore the events leading up to that fateful day, the aftermath, and the subsequent reports of paranormal activity that have persisted for over a century. Join us as we delve into eyewitness accounts, examine the psychological and environmental factors at play, and consider the theories that attempt to explain the unexplained. Is the James M. Nederlander Theatre truly haunted by the spirits of those who perished, or are there more earthly explanations for the phenomena reported?

This family doesn't inherit jewelry—they inherit hauntings. It starts with a lovestruck American who stuffs his Mexican bride into a laundry bag, braiding together two bloodlines steeped in brujería and Masonic mystery. The grandmother whispers prayers over eggs that crack black as ink; a great-uncle slips into glassy-eyed trances, scrawling symbols no scholar can place. And in one dim kitchen, a child forever sees the Bloody Man—an apparition linked to a vigilante justice hidden within the home's walls. Kind, glowing beings try to protect the little one, yet some spectral stains refuse to wash away. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

A lifelong empath phones in to reveal the secret that cost them friends: when they were six, an elderly woman who'd died in their bathroom began watching over their bed—just the first act in a haunting that still shadows them at 22. Family bloodlines of “second sight” soon drew darker forces: a towering entity they called “the Fireman,” bruises that appeared overnight, and glowing white orbs that battled for the child's soul. Victorian strangers materialized in doorways, cameras caught nothing, and a house blessing only muted the storm.  This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Dolls are one of the oldest and original toys. Dolls have been used for more than just play though. Sometimes they are used in religious rites, for magic or education. The main characteristic of dolls is the fact that they are made to resemble human beings. Could some dolls carry more than just a resemblance to humans? Could some of them contain a soul or spirit? Join us as we explore a brief history of dolls and then share the tales of many dolls that seem to do more than just sit idly and stare blankly into space.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: If you came of age in Baltimore during the 50s and 60s, you probably heard the talk about Druid Ridge Cemetery's most famous grave marker. Just about everyone knew about “Black Aggie,” the statue of a draped, melancholy and mysterious woman seated at the Agnus family plot in the south-facing side of the cemetery in Pikesville. Word was that her stony eyes turned red at night. Sit on her lap at midnight and you would meet your own end within two weeks. Teens, often fueled by beer and bravado, travelled to Druid Ridge at night to test the rumor. It was terrifying, exhilarating and the stuff of Baltimore urban legends for years. By 1967, she was she had disappeared. We'll look at the legend of Black Aggie. (Black Aggie) *** The story of Morrow Road is one of Michigan's oldest and most enduring legends. There are many versions of the legend – but all of them contain two disturbing elements… a missing child, and a ghostly mother desperately looking for him. But the tragedy doesn't end there – as there have been some harrowing experiences for those who have gone searching for the spectral mother. (The Grieving Ghost of Morrow Road) *** Asylum 49, formerly the Tooele Hospital in Utah, is a place where the lines between the living and the dead blur in terrifying ways. Half abandoned medical facility turned haunted attraction, half functioning retirement home, this schizophrenic building is home to spectral nurses, mischievous child spirits, and a sinister man in black… and not just for Halloween – but all year round. The old hospital's haunted reputation has even drawn ghost hunters and mediums who claim it hides a portal to another dimension. (Asylum 49 – A Haunted Haunted Attraction) *** A family moves into a new home only to find they aren't alone. Items began disappearing, then reappearing later. The lights would turn on and off on their own. Typical poltergeist activity – but when they started to do renovations to the home, the paranormal activity escalated… and after some investigation, they found their ghost had a very sad story to tell.

Secrets can tear a family apart, and in this episode, they become the root of a haunting that spirals out of control. One family begins to experience strange and terrifying activity—voices whispering in the night, objects moving on their own, and an oppressive presence that grows stronger with each passing day. But as they dig into their family history, they discover a long-buried secret that explains the haunting and the terrible consequences it has had for generations. This episode explores the way family secrets can manifest into something far more terrifying and how the truth must come to light before the haunting can end.

A woman is seven months pregnant on a transatlantic voyage in 1720, giving birth in the belly of a rat-infested ship — when suddenly, pirates attack. But instead of plundering, one pirate hears the newborn's cry and makes a deal: name the baby Mary, after his mother, and he'll spare the ship. That child would grow up to be Ocean Born Mary — a woman whose legend sparked centuries of ghost stories, folklore, and New England intrigue. Two hundred years later, colonial enthusiasts purchased a haunted home allegedly linked to Ocean Born Mary and created a paranormal tourist destination. We trace the line between fact and folklore: from Mary's miraculous birth to tales of haunted hallways, sword-wielding spirits, and a mysterious green silk dress. Possible treasure, paranormal hoaxes, a 1930s ghost tour hustle, and a visit from Ed and Lorraine Warren. Whether you're here for pirate drama, haunted house vibes, or historical folklore, this episode delivers a story that's as entertaining as it is creepy.

The Lemp family of St. Louis were rich, powerful, influential, and were living a celebrity lifestyle thanks to the lager beer empire they had built there. But the family was anything but happy… the tragedy and depression of the family was like a curse, taking them out one by one.

Tony Brueski takes us inside the Palace Theatre in Los Angeles, where ghosts may still be basking in the limelight. Once a hub for vaudeville stars and Hollywood premieres, the Palace has its fair share of eerie encounters. Guests report feeling unseen hands, hearing distant music, and seeing figures vanish as quickly as they appear. Is the Palace Theatre's haunted reputation just a trick of light and sound, or do spirits from its heyday still linger behind the curtain? Tony examines the evidence, delving into the theater's history and exploring how architecture, emotion, and performance might intertwine to create an environment ripe for the unexplained.

Stacy knows that her daughter, Mabry, is seeing “a lady” in her room at night. But she doesn't know just how terrifying that lady is.Thank you, Stacy & Mabry, for sharing your story with Spooked!Produced by Zoë Ferrigno, original score by Leon Morimoto. Artwork by Teo Ducot.
