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. This is Part Two of our conversation. #hauntedhouse #arkansashaunting #thegravetalks #realghoststories #supernaturalencounter #violenthaunting #paranormalpodcast #faithandfear #darkentities #familyhaunting #hauntedinarkansas #paranormal Love real ghost stories?

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?

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

Deep in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, there's a quiet little valley where three creeks meet and cross like a natural X. Long before settlers built homes there, the Cherokee knew the place well—and they didn't trust it after dark. They warned their people to stay away, calling it a place where something shadowy moved through the night.Later, missionaries arrived, saw the crossing waters as a holy sign, and named the area Valle Crucis: the Valley of the Cross. They built St. John's Episcopal Church beside that old meeting of waters, never realizing what the land had already been known for.In this special episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we step outside Sasquatch territory for something darker, older, and harder to shake. What you're about to hear isn't a Bigfoot encounter.It's a story that's been whispered around western North Carolina for generations—one that comes with a body count and a warning baked into the ground itself. The legend of the Demon Dog of Valle Crucis goes back at least to the mid-1800s, when a Methodist circuit rider claimed he saw a massive black hound standing among the cemetery stones. He wrote about its size, its unnatural stillness, and those eyes—glowing red like coals. Since then, the sightings have never really stopped. They just surface every so often, always describing the same impossible thing: a dog too big to be real, fur black enough to swallow moonlight, and a stare that feels human in the worst way. But it's not the sightings that made this creature infamous. It's what followed them. Hunting dogs found torn apart with wounds that didn't match any known predator. Livestock killed in ways locals couldn't explain. And nearly every time, the trail led back to the old cemetery—back to the crossing waters—back to the place people were told not to go.At the center of this episode is a listener account from Dale, now in his late fifties, who has carried what happened to him for more than forty years.In the fall of 1975, Dale and his best friend Curtis were fourteen—two mountain kids determined to prove they were grown enough to coon hunt on their own. They headed into the woods with three dogs, including Dale's prized Bluetick, Jessie. They didn't realize they were drifting toward Valle Crucis. They didn't know what the old stories were really warning about.What happened that night near the cemetery changed Dale for good. He describes something huge stepping out of the darkness. Sounds no normal dog could make. A chase that didn't feel like a chase—more like something playing with them. And a split-second sacrifice he still hasn't forgiven himself for. Dale doesn't try to sell you a theory. He doesn't dress it up. He just tells you what he saw, what he heard, and what he lost. And the grief in his voice makes it clear: this isn't a campfire tale.This is a scar. We're honored that Dale trusted us with it. Some stories don't fade with time—they just get heavier. And this one comes with a warning that's echoed through generations: there are places in these mountains you don't push your luck in. Not because you're superstitious. Because sometimes the old folks were right.So settle in, keep your senses sharp, and walk with us into the Valley of the Cross—where the creek waters meet, the graveyard waits, and something out there still doesn't want company after dark.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on the Steelers' losing skid of five losses in their last seven games. This show is presented by FanDuel. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on whether the preseason concerns about old age are proving valid. Do guys like Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt still have the ability to life this roster to an AFC North title and NFL playoffs appearance? Or have their abilities to transcend losing streaks diminished. And is it reasonable to expect younger players including Joey Porter Jr., Patrick Queen, Jaylen Warren, Darnell Washington and others to step up in the closing weeks of the season? Paul tackles those questions, plus the highlights from coach Mike Tomlin's weekly news conference Tuesday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

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.

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. This is Part Two of our conversation. #HauntedHome #MalevolentSpirit #RealGhostStories #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #DarkEntity #TeenageHaunting #SupernaturalForces #UnexplainedPhenomena #SpiritActivity  Love real ghost stories?

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

This lecture explores the provocative question: Can magic stop wars? Drawing on historical and cross-cultural sources, we examine how rituals and spells have been used not merely as private acts of devotion but as technologies of politics, resistance, and reconciliation. From the Assyrian Maqlû tablets and Egyptian execration rites, to the Wiccan “Cone of Power” against Hitler and the modern #MagicResistance movement, we uncover how ritual has been mobilised to defend rulers, resist tyranny, and shape the course of events.The lecture also turns to reconciliation practices such as the Acholi Mato Oput in Uganda, Hawaiian ho‘oponopono, and Arab-Islamic sulha, showing how communities have ritualised the difficult work of forgiveness and the transformation of enmity. By analysing these cases, we see how ritual externalises conflict into material or symbolic form, such as burned effigies, bitter drinks, and shared meals, so that violence can be reframed, managed, or dissolved.CONNECT & SUPPORT

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.

Three young brothers vanish from their father's backyard on Thanksgiving Day, a hijacker parachutes into the night with $200,000 and is never seen again, and a grandfather's ghost story leads to the discovery of a 200-year-old mass murder — these are just some of the chilling mysteries that have turned America's day of gratitude into something far more sinister. From unsolved killings and baffling disappearances to haunted hotels and tragic shipwrecks, this episode explores the dark side of Thanksgiving that most families never discuss at the dinner table.IN THIS EPISODE: While the rest of Americans are at home with their families, eating turkey and enjoying annual celebrations-- Thanksgiving has a darker side. We may often overlook this truth because it is rarely discussed at the Thanksgiving table. Every Thanksgiving Day there are some tragic and mysterious incidents. Many of these unfathomably awful things are never explained. Whether it is murders, gory accidents or strange vanishings during the night–these true-life unexplained mysteries and horrendous crimes might make excellent dinner-table conversation… assuming you're dining with other Weirdos like yourself. *** We'll talk about the year we had two Thanksgivings in the United States. (The Year With Two Thanksgivings) *** A Weirdo family member shares a freaky true Thanksgiving story with an explosive ending! (Thanksgiving Explosion) *** Two brothers solve an almost 200-year-old murder mystery thanks to a Thanksgiving ghost story that was told to them by their grandfather. (Grandpa's Thanksgiving Ghost Story) *** I'll share a horrific Thanksgiving tale from the latter part of the nineteenth century. (Feast of Terror) *** The Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world – and some say the most haunted. (A Thanksgiving Ghost Story) *** On November 19, 1924, Hollywood movie producer Thomas Ince died after celebrating his 42nd birthday aboard a yacht belonging to infamous newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, but to this day, the exact circumstances of his death remain a mystery. Could this be why his ghost still wanders the movie studio that he founded? *** On the night of November 20, 1901, a young North Carolina woman named Nell Cropsey vanished from her family's home in Elizabeth City. After a frantic search that lasted more than a month, Nell's body was discovered floating in a nearby river. She had been brutally murdered – but by who? *** On November 23, 1910, American-born homeopathic physician and salesman Hawley Harvey Crippen (usually known simply as Dr. Crippen in crime annals) was hanged at Pentonville Prison in London for the murder of his wife, Cora. But was he really a murderer? *** While the holidays are usually a time of cheer and happiness, the people of Chicago learned of a Christmas-related tragedy on November 22, 1912 when the famed "Christmas Tree Ship" went down in a storm on Lake Michigan. The tragedy changed the face of the holidays for the people of Chicago in a very unexpected way. ***Plus the original short horror story “Black Friday” by horror master, Jason R.

You ever brush off a friend's “this place is haunted” story… and then agree to sleep there alone? It was supposed to be simple: the party ends, everyone grabs a cab, and he crashes on the floor of the empty master bedroom. Winter light from the snow outside spilled in through bare windows. No furniture. No TV. No sounds… until a cough broke the silence. Then came the footsteps—starting in the basement, moving across the main floor, pacing like someone who knew the layout by heart. Step by step, they climbed the stairs and stomped straight toward his room, stopping just outside the door. Frozen on the mattress on the floor, he watched a tall, hooded shadow rise up the wall, as if something was standing in the hall… or right inside with him. When he finally found the courage to move, there was no one at the window, no one in the house—and a friend at the front door too scared to come back inside. He went in alone. He didn't leave that way. #realghoststoriesonline #hauntedhouse #shadowfigure #hoodedghost #paranormalencounter #footstepsinthehall #winterhaunting #trueghoststory #aloneinthehouse #supernatural Love real ghost stories?

The fires of the witchcraft allegations burned through the towns and villages of New England during the 1600s, leading to accusations, trials, and even hangings. Many communities regretted the belief that the Devil was at work in their own until it was too late and near the end of the century, the fires that had burned so hot began to cool.But not before the events at Salem Village occurred in 1692, spawning the most infamous witchcraft panic in American history. The town was a hotbed of gossip, hostility, and family squabbles and when religious fanaticism was added to the mix, accusations of the Devil's work soon followed.But not just in Salem. Most don't realize that another witchcraft panic was occurring at the same time, a short distance away, and that Salem's so-called “Afflicted Girls” had a starring role in that terror, too. Our Sponsors:* Check out CBDfx and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com* 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

In 2013, one family walked into an aging Kentucky farmhouse and instantly felt it. The air tightened. The kids went silent. Every pair of eyes turned toward the same dark hallway, like something was standing there, waiting. They tried to brush off the unease, but the house had other plans. A door that didn't belong. A shock that traveled up her arm the moment she touched it. A child who calmly asked, “Did you see the man?” And later — after they'd already run from the place — a photo with a face staring out from the laundry room window… a face that wasn't there when they took it. The dreams came next. The smell of lake water creeping into their own home. A voice whispering from a doorway she never opened. And a stranger who finally explained why the house felt the way it did — a man trapped beneath floodwater, alive for hours, unable to scream for help. This is the story of the farmhouse that didn't want new owners… and the drowned man who still hasn't found the door out. #HauntedHouse #RealGhostStory #KentuckyHaunting #DrownedManGhost #ParanormalExperience #CreepyHomes #TrueGhostStories #ShadowFigure #HauntedFarmhouse #GhostInWindow #UnexplainedPhenomena #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Berkshires may look serene—sunlit trails, grand homes, quiet historic towns—but those gentle hills hold stories that refuse to stay buried. In this episode, author Robert Oakes takes us through the haunted heart of the region, revealing the places where history lingers a little too long. From a literary icon's estate where whispers still drift across empty rooms… to opulent mansions that haven't quite let their former residents go… to a tunnel carved through the mountains where tragedy left more than scars in the stone—these are the places where the past breathes, watches, and sometimes steps forward. The Berkshires are beautiful—but beauty isn't always quiet. This is Part Two of our conversation.

In 1987, ten-year-old Amy Rachel Schulz vanished from the quiet town of Kell, Illinois. By morning, her body was found in a rural oilfield — brutally murdered. The investigation that followed tore through southern Illinois, led to a death sentence, and decades later unraveled into one of the most controversial cases in the state's history. This is the story of innocence lost, forensic failure, and the haunting legacy Amy left behind.  Our Sponsors:* Check out CBDfx and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com* 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
