Tucked away in rural Wisconsin, The Humbird Historic Bar and Hotel looks like the kind of place where time simply slowed down. Built in 1869, it has welcomed generations of travelers, offered warm meals, stiff drinks, and shelter from the world outside. But not every guest left. Tragedy touched The Humbird early in its history, including a deadly smallpox outbreak that claimed lives within its walls. Today, the building still serves visitors—but staff and guests alike report encounters that suggest the past is very much present. Footsteps echo in empty rooms. Doors open on their own. And some visitors leave with the feeling that someone was watching long after last call. Today on The Grave Talks: The Humbird Historic Bar and Hotel, a conversation with owners Matt Hawkes and Elizabeth Havenor. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Built in 1765 by British officer Roger Morris, the Morris-Jumel Mansion was never meant to be anything more than a quiet summer retreat. But more than 250 years later, that plan has clearly failed. Today, the mansion stands as Manhattan's oldest surviving house—and one of its most haunted. Over the centuries, the home has hosted some of the most powerful figures in American history, including George Washington and Aaron Burr. It's also been the backdrop for scandalous love affairs, whispered conspiracies, possible murders, and Revolutionary War intrigue. With that much emotional intensity packed into one place, it's no surprise that many believe some residents never truly left. Vincent Carbone has spent years exploring the strange activity inside the Morris-Jumel Mansion. From shadow figures and unexplained footsteps to spirits believed to be tied to former occupants, Vincent breaks down why this historic home continues to attract both historians and ghost hunters alike. Is the mansion haunted by those who loved, fought, and died within its walls—or by something far darker that feeds on centuries of unrest? This is Part Two of our conversation. #MorrisJumelMansion #TheGraveTalks #HauntedManhattan #ParanormalHistory #HauntedAmerica #TrueGhostStories #HistoricHauntings #RevolutionaryWarGhosts #HauntedNYC #RealParanormal  Love real ghost stories?

A special “Very Scary Christmas” Episode! Traditional Christmas celebrations in colonial American were much different than they are today. It was a public celebration in the streets and the pubs. Few people celebrated in church and even fewer celebrated with family at home.And for good reason. The winter nights were cold and dark. It was a time of snow, ice, and being trapped indoors with that family. The coming days – and weeks – were going to be spent around the fire, waiting for better weather to return. That fire, along with candles and oil lamps, were the only way to stay warm – and to keep away the shadows that were creeping outside your door. This made it the perfect time for stories and storytelling, especially stories of ghosts, hauntings, spectral travelers, and the night folk. In those days, the cold winter months were considered the spookiest time of the year. It was a dark season that began with Halloween and lasted until the spring thaw. In centuries past, the holiday season was not just a time of celebration – it was a time to be afraid.Our Sponsors:* Check out CBDfx and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntingsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-hauntings-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Have an amazing Christmas everyone, if you celebrate, and thank you so much for all of your support!! In the winter of 1596, famine and desperation turn London's Newgate Prison into a place of cannibalism and despair. What follows is a chilling legend of a spectral black dog that stalks the guilty through cells, streets, and snow-covered alleys, raising the question of whether the monster was supernatural, or born from human cruelty itself.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dog_of_Newgatehttps://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Newgate-Prison/https://londonist.com/2014/11/the-black-dog-of-newgatehttps://factschology.com/factschology-articles-podcast/black-dog-of-newgate-prison-londonhttps://www.spookyisles.com/black-dog-of-newgate/https://blackcablondon.net/2017/01/22/the-black-dog-of-newgate/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Christmas Day!!Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Just in time for the holiday season, Side Talk explores one of the most infamous haunted locations in paranormal history — Borley Rectory, often referred to as the most haunted house in England.In this special Christmas episode, Billy dives into the dark and unsettling history of Borley Rectory, a place plagued by reports of phantom footsteps, ringing bells, mysterious fires, writings appearing on walls, and the chilling legend of a ghostly nun said to roam the property.But this episode goes deeper than one haunted house. Billy also explores why ghost stories have long been tied to Christmas, tracing the tradition back to Victorian England, Charles Dickens, and the belief that winter — with its long nights and quiet stillness — thins the veil between the living and the dead.From documented investigations to folklore passed down through generations, this Side Talk blends haunted history with holiday tradition, reminding us that long before Christmas horror movies, people gathered around fires to tell ghost stories meant to unsettle, warn, and fascinate.Dim the lights, get comfortable, and enjoy this eerie Christmas Side Talk episode — available now on the Say What Again Billy Podcast

Some people move from house to house and leave their ghosts behind. She never had that luxury. For nearly a decade, every place she tried to call home—tiny rentals, family houses, desert outposts, college dorms—seemed to inherit the same uninvited guest. It appeared in shadowed corners, in the sudden crack of blinds striking the wall, in the slow, deliberate press of a hand against her mattress long after midnight. No matter how many times she ran, the presence always seemed to arrive first… and settle in deeper. She didn't ask for the paranormal, didn't chase it, didn't want it—but became its target anyway. What do you do when the haunting isn't tied to a place, but to you? When footsteps cross the room you just locked? When something tugs your blankets twice, exactly the same way, as if rehearsed? When bruises bloom on your arms, shaped like fingers that never should have touched you? Some hauntings fade. Some lose interest. And some choose a person—and never let go. #TrueGhostStories #ParanormalAttachment #ShadowPeople #DarkPresence #HauntedLife #SupernaturalEncounters #UnexplainedPhenomena #RealHauntings #NighttimeTerror  Love real ghost stories?

From a ghost who returned a missing child only to reveal he'd been dead for years, to a bride whose body was found hidden in a chest fifty years after she vanished, these true Christmas hauntings prove the holidays have a dark side.IN THIS EPISODE: I'll share a few ghost stories that all center around the Christmas season. (True Tales of Christmas Ghosts) *** We'll look at a haunting in Rhode Island, where people claim to see a mysterious light every year at Christmas – and many believe it to be a ghost ship with a dark history. (The Christmas Light of Block Island) *** Even without ghosts, you can still have some terrible things take place at Christmas time – more than you might realize. You'll never hear the word “Christmas” the same way again after hearing some of what happened in history during the Christmas season! (Horrible Happenings at the Holidays) *** What is for many their favorite paranormal Christmas movie of all time was, in fact, a bust at the box office. It wasn't about a ghost though – it was about a desperate man, and an angel without any wings.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What was meant to be a routine paranormal investigation quickly became something far more disturbing. In their new book, Haunting of Emery Estate, Rob Gutro and Monique Toosoon recount their investigation into one of the area's most notorious locations. What they encountered inside Emery Estate wasn't a single presence—but three distinctly different spirits, each leaving behind a very different impression. The first was a young boy, whose presence carried both sorrow and longing. The second seemed bound to an object, its energy anchored to something from the past. And then there was the third—an entity whose arrival shifted the atmosphere entirely, replacing curiosity with unease and fear. Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with Rob and Monique to explore what unfolded during that investigation, how the experience escalated, and what it means when an investigation crosses from observation into something far more personal. Some hauntings reveal stories. Others reveal warnings. “Haunting of Emery Estate” is available on Amazon or wherever books are sold. For more information, you can visit Rob's website at robgutro.com or Monique's website, moniquetoosoon.com. #EmeryEstate #HauntedInvestigation #ParanormalBooks #TrueParanormal #GhostEncounters #HauntedPlaces #TheGraveTalks #DarkEntities #RealHauntings  Love real ghost stories?

Working inside a haunted attraction, you expect darkness, disturbing imagery, and carefully designed scares. You expect it to feel unsettling—because that's the point. But sometimes, the atmosphere doesn't shut off when the show ends. In this episode, we hear from someone who spends their days inside a building themed around Hell itself. The setting is intentionally disturbing, filled with symbols meant to provoke fear and discomfort. But over time, certain moments begin to feel less like part of the act—and more like something responding. There's no dramatic attack. No obvious threat. Just the sense of being noticed. As the weeks go on, the line between what's staged and what's authentic begins to blur. And when something chooses to remain distant—always watching from the edges—it raises a far more unsettling question: What happens when a place built to simulate fear starts attracting something real? #RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #HauntedAttraction #ShadowFigure #DemonicHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedBuilding #GhostStoriesPodcast #UnexplainedActivity #TrueHaunting  Love real ghost stories?

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 338: Bryan Fuller and Nicole Hirsch Whitaker Bryan Fuller has one of the most recognizable visual signatures in modern television. Whether he's dealing with a forensic pathologist who bakes pies (Pushing Daisies) or a sophisticated cannibal (Hannibal), his work consistently balances the grotesque with the gorgeous. His style of hyper-stylized morbid surrealism was influenced by French maximalism in the 90's, such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, Amelie). “Between Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, and Amelie, there was this experience I had in the 90's and early aughts watching those films that gave me permission to push harder and go further in aesthetics that were on television,” Bryan explains. With his latest project, Dust Bunny, Bryan makes the leap from showrunning to feature directing, bringing his unique aesthetic to a dark fantasy-thriller. His decades of experience absorbing highly visual cinema have all led to this moment. “When I look at Dust Bunny, I'm like, that's a Barry Sonnenfeld shot. That's a John Carpenter shot. That's a Spielberg, because I've consumed all of these things and digested them and pooped out Dust Bunny.” Despite Bryan's self-deprecating description of the creative process, he was extremely meticulous about the filmmaking process. Cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, ASC presented a comprehensive pitch deck that became the roadmap for the film's visual identity. “After the meeting, presenting her whole board with all of these images... she wanted the job and did a lot of work to show how she wanted the job,” says Bryan. Nicole, who shares Bryan's reverence for the same films, dove deep into the script to pull references ranging from The Professional and The Haunting (1963) to the raw, intimate photography of Nan Goldin. “I do think that it's important to make a good impression,” she says. “The deck is an impression of yourself as an artist that you leave behind.” During the interview, Nicole shares the pitch deck she made for Dust Bunny and discusses it in detail. Watch on YouTube or link to it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m0i5QVEarDFL248Vqvm3T-8a0watskba/view?usp=sharing The most radical visual choice in Dust Bunny is its aspect ratio. It's shot in an extreme 3:1 format (three squares wide), which is almost unheard of in modern cinema. This creates a triptych feel, where the frame is so wide it feels like a mural. It forces a sense of vertical claustrophobia, crushing the top and bottom of the frame. The camera emphasizes the floorboards and the space under the bed—precisely where the monster hides. This discovery occurred while Bryan and Nicole were testing lenses. Once the framing matte came off the lens, revealing the open gate width of the sensor, Bryan realized the wider view fundamentally changed the film's psychology. A subject centered in a 3:1 frame felt isolated in a way they hadn't before, sharpening the camera's emotional point of view. To further isolate the characters, Nicole tuned the ARRI Alpha anamorphic lenses to fall off at the edges, ensuring the audience's focus remains locked on the performance. While Dust Bunny was shot over 44 days in Budapest, the film's visual language was decades in the making. For Nicole, the challenge was translating a legendary showrunner's mental gallery into a physical reality. For Bryan, it was a homecoming to the cinematic influences that first gave him permission to be “too much.” See Dust Bunny in theaters.

It was during the roofing renovations that Jim and his team made a mysterious discovery. After removing a section of tiles and brickwork near one of the chimney stacks, they found a small doorway. What was a doorway doing hidden underneath the bricks and roof tiles? What was it for? Who had put it there? After opening it up, Jim went inside with a torch and found a small staircase which led down into a room. This room was quite large, and in one of the walls, a framework still existed for a door, which told Jim that this could have been some type of attic space. The door had been removed, and bricked up, leaving only the frame behind as the only indication that something had been there. From inside the house, there was no visible evidence to suggest that the room even existed ... so why was it there? This is episode 68 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and it's high time that we visited two very haunted properties ... Flitwick Manor and Himley Hall. Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show? If so, your story could feature in our end of season Listeners' Stories episodes.

At eight years old, they woke to a man standing in the doorway—a solid, breathing figure who looked just as startled to be seen… right before he stepped into the air and vanished. Most people would call it a childhood hallucination. A dream. A trauma echo. But trauma doesn't move through rooms. It doesn't follow you from home to home. It doesn't breathe beside your bed when you're fully awake. For decades, something has lingered—watching, tightening the air, stepping just out of sight. Relationship failures, constant setbacks, strange synchronicities, and a heaviness that never lifts… all while psychics whisper the same thing: something is attached. Is it one entity that found a crack and crawled in, or a magnet pulling in every lost thing that passes by? #ghoststory #haunting #paranormalexperience #realghoststories #shadowfigure #psychicphenomena #darkpresence #spiritattachment #ghostsighting #supernaturalstories #creepytales #truehaunting Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE In the quiet farm fields of rural Nebraska, a 120-year-old house stood seemingly ordinary—until something hidden beneath it was uncovered. When the home's new owner discovered a strange wooden box tucked away in the cellar, its contents raised immediate questions. Inside were unsettling items: part of an unfamiliar book, a piece of coal, and a doll unlike anything he'd seen before. Unsure of what he was dealing with, he reached out to paranormal investigators Alan Megargle and Jesse Morgan. What began as a simple investigation quickly grew into something far more disturbing. That discovery became the foundation for the documentary A Haunting in Blue Hill, which follows a team of investigators as they explore the origins of the box and the spirits seemingly tied to it—and to the home itself. As communication begins, it becomes clear that the objects were not random, and the cellar was not chosen by accident. Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with directors Alan Megargle and Jesse Morgan, along with team members Anna Meyer Evans and Madison Flewelling, to discuss the film, the investigation, and what happens when the past is quite literally unearthed. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Gettysburg is known for its battlefields and fallen soldiers—but some of its most unsettling stories belong to those who never fought at all. Jennie Wade was the only confirmed civilian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg. Though she was killed blocks away while baking bread for Union soldiers, many believe her presence never truly left the place where her life began. Over the years, visitors and caretakers have reported shadow figures moving through empty rooms, unexplained voices, sudden cold spots, and objects shifting without explanation. Some describe an oppressive feeling in certain upstairs rooms—while others claim encounters that feel deeply personal, as if the house itself is reacting to them. Whether these experiences are residual echoes or something far more aware remains an open question. Today, a conversation with historian and huntress, Tiffany Meredith.

In the hills outside Philadelphia lies Duffy's Cut, a stretch of railroad haunted by whispers, strange lights, and a century-old secret. What began as a ghost story passed down through generations slowly revealed a hidden chapter of American history involving immigrant laborers, fear-driven violence, and a truth deliberately buried. This episode explores how folklore, science, and persistence converged to give voice to the forgotten dead and asks whether the spirits were ever really silent.You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?

Long before Dickens penned A Christmas Carol, our ancestors gathered around midwinter fires to tell tales of spirits and monsters lurking in the darkness. Tonight, we explore why Christmas and ghost stories have been intertwined for thousands of years — then share true accounts that prove the tradition is very much alive. #HolidayHorrorsIN THIS EPISODE: Earlier this month I shared some true reports of people seeing Kris Kringle – or what appeared to be Kris Kringle – in real life. But there are many more of those strange sightings to share! (More Real Santa Sightings) *** Christmas has been celebrated for centuries, and gift-giving has been around in America since well before the Civil War. But how we celebrate and what we give changes depending on the time. We'll take a look at what Christmas was like for American pioneers in the 1800s. (Christmas in The Old West) *** At a Christmas party the revelers heard a horrifying scream from outside. They rushed out to hear the screams were coming from the sky, at least above the rooftops. But how could that be? It was then that they learned Oliver Lerch had disappeared – never to be seen again. (The Christmas Disappearance of Oliver Lerch) *** Nothing says Christmas like a poisonous weed! Well… you explain mistletoe! We'll look at why we're supposed to kiss under this deadly plant during the holidays. (A Kiss Under the Mistletoe) *** A horrible fire breaks out at an Oklahoma school during the holidays of 1924 – and the ghosts of the children still linger at the site. (Ghosts of the Babbs Switch School Christmas Fire) *** You might be celebrating Christmas like a viking and not even realize it. From the holiday ham to the evergreen in your living room, we'll look at how the pagan celebration of Yule influenced modern Christmas traditions. (How To Celebrate Christmas Like a Viking) *** Kids in America anxiously await the arrival of Santa Claus bounding down the chimney with gifts and candy for the good little boys and girls. But that's America. What comes down the chimney of Irish and Scottish kids may not be so jolly, plump, and loving. Some Gaelic children have to watch out for the Bodach. (Beware the Bodach at Christmas) *** It's something we're trying to revive here on Weird Darkness… the lost tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas.

Some encounters with the unknown announce themselves with a single dramatic moment. Others begin quietly, as a feeling you can't name — one that follows you from room to room, from childhood into adulthood, until the pattern becomes impossible to dismiss. We explore a lifetime of shadow-person encounters that began in the unlikeliest place: a bright, ordinary childhood bedroom in a safe Maryland suburb. What started as a vague sense of being watched evolved into visions, apparitions, and moments of paralysis that stretched across multiple homes, states, and stages of life. From silent figures lingering in doorways to a top-hatted entity emerging from a blinding white void, her story reveals how some presences don't simply haunt a location — they follow a person. Years later, a stranger would share an eerily similar vision, suggesting these beings may be more organized, more intelligent, and more purposeful than she ever imagined. #Ghosts #ShadowPeople #ParanormalEncounters #LifelongHaunting #TopHatMan #SupernaturalExperiences #ShadowFigures #TrueGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #UnseenPresence Love real ghost stories?

Over the Christmas of 1716, during a time of political tension and uncertainty in England, strange events began to trouble Epworth Rectory. After nightfall, the home of Reverend Samuel Wesley was disturbed by unexplained sounds. Soft footsteps thumped in hallways, as dull thuds knocked on the  walls and door latches rattled in their housings. The Wesley family spoke cautiously of a presence they called Old Jeffrey, an unseen force that seemed intent on making itself known. Whether trick, imagination, or something darker, the disturbances unsettled the household for only a short time, but held a potential influence that would be felt centuries later, through the beliefs of the son, John Wesley, who would later go on to be a founding member of the Methodist church.

It was Christmastime — a season of peace, light, and goodwill — which made the slow unraveling of their minds all the more disturbing.IN THIS EPISODE: Despite being in the middle of the first World War, on Christmas Day, 1914 British and German soldiers sang carols together, exchanged gifts with the enemy combatants, and supposedly even played a soccer game against each other in order to celebrate the holiday. (The Great War's Christmas Truce) *** The case was so mysterious it was even featured on TV's “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America's Most Wanted”: who committed the Christmas murder of Latricia White? And what happened to Lee and Chance Wackerhagen? (An Unsolved Christmas Murder Mystery) *** We're so used to seeing old St. Nick showing up with a big bag of toys for the kiddies – but what if he arrived with another bag full of switches for your parents to use the whole year through if you were on his naughty list? We'll look back at when Santa wasn't purely jolly and jovial, and when he arrived to dole out both presents and punishment! (Santa's Naughty List) *** The Los Feliz murder mansion became the site of a horrifying and sad Christmas tragedy for one California family. (Christmas At The Los Feliz Murder Mansion) *** A haunting holiday mystery took place in England in 1916 when a young bride simply disappeared without a trace.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Some buildings carry history. Others carry the weight of every soul that ever passed through their doors. The Old Charleston Jail, standing for nearly two centuries atop a former burial ground, belongs firmly in the latter category. Once home to the imprisoned, the condemned, and in many cases, the unjustly accused, this massive stone structure holds echoes of a time when punishment was swift, survival was uncertain, and justice was often a matter of interpretation. Though the final cell door closed long ago, the building has never fully settled. Visitors and investigators alike report the unmistakable clatter of chains where none remain, soft murmurs drifting through vacant corridors, and presences that seem all too aware of who enters their domain. The question is no longer whether the Old Charleston Jail is haunted, but why its spirits still linger. We step into the jail's storied halls to explore the layers of suffering, injustice, and unsettled energy that refuse to fade. What keeps these spirits tied to the place? And what can we learn from a structure that remembers its past far too well? #thegravetalks #oldcharlestonjail #hauntedcharleston #paranormalpodcast #hauntedhistory #charlestonspirits #ghoststories #historicjails #trueghoststories #supernaturalencounters #paranormalinvestigation #hauntedplaces Love real ghost stories?
