A group of scientists meet a very unusual woman. A key part of her brain isn't working: the amygdala. This is the part of the brain that we think is responsible for feeling fear. And in fact, this woman does seem pretty fearless. Researchers test her fear response using some very unconventional methods, but she takes everything in stride. Then, finally, they stumble onto the one thing that makes the woman who can't feel fear absolutely panic. We scare up some science with neuropsychologist Dr. Justin Feinstein.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!What happens when a haunting isn't just eerie—but violent?As a child, Jeff Konkel and his family endured two months in a house that seemed alive with rage.

And at night, a grown man was yanked off his bed by an unseen force.This wasn't imagination. It was an assault from something beyond. And it left Jeff with more than just terrifying memories—it left him with a lifelong mission to seek answers. Why are we surrounded by forces we cannot see? What drives some spirits to lash out violently while others linger quietly in the shadows?In this episode of The Grave Talks, Jeff Konkel shares his story of survival, trauma, and discovery.

What starts as a story about a kid from Utah with a promising football career ends somewhere nobody saw coming — including Chad himself.Growing up in Utah, Chad was the guy with a future. Athletics, ambition, a clear path forward. Then a knee injury in high school changed everything. What started as pain management turned into something much harder to put down. Weed and ecstasy in high school gave way to pain pills after the injury, and once that door opened, Chad walked through it fast.He dropped out of high school. Got into door to door sales. Found ways to fund a life that was quietly unraveling. The escalating drug use brought escalating problems, including criminal activity that started stacking consequences he couldn't outrun.A move to California was supposed to be the reset. It didn't quite work out that way, but it did lead him to the woman who would become the mother of his child. They moved back to Utah together, and Chad kept trying to get it together. He couldn't. The relationship didn't survive it.And then came the moment that actually broke through.Separation from his daughter.That was the thing that reached him where nothing else could. Chad made the decision to move back to California, and this time something was different. He found lasting sobriety in 2024 and hasn't looked back. Today he works alongside his brother at Sacred Journey Men's Recovery Center, turning everything he lived through into something that helps other men find their way out.Connect with Sacred Journey Treatment Center on InstagramDM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

When a teenager moves into a small rental house across town, he thinks he's found the perfect setup—especially after discovering a finished attic above the garage that he hopes to claim as his own bedroom. But the moment he climbs the ladder, a blast of freezing air sends him back down, and he never shakes the feeling that something about the house isn't right.As the months pass, he spends many weekends alone while his family is away, giving him plenty of time to notice the strange sounds, unsettling atmosphere, and unexplained events that seem tied to the house. What begins as an uneasy feeling eventually escalates into a violent crash from an empty room, strange activity witnessed by a friend, and a growing sense that the house is occupied by something unseen.Some houses have creaky floors and strange noises. Others seem to have a presence all their own.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #Paranormal #GhostStory #TrueGhostStories #ParanormalActivity #HauntedAttic #Supernatural #GhostEncounter #ScaryStoriesLove real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOWhen Kent J. Wolfe and his family moved into an 1865 farmhouse in rural Michigan, they didn't expect the experience that would eventually inspire his book, Ghost Theories: Raising a Family in a Haunted House.As a self-described skeptic, Kent approached the unexplained activity in the home with the belief that there had to be logical answers. But over time, a pattern of experiences—from unexplained sounds to encounters that couldn't easily be dismissed—began to challenge that perspective.Kent shares the story behind the book, what it was like documenting those years in the home, and how living through those experiences shaped both his writing and his understanding of the paranormal. He also reflects on the balance between skepticism and belief, and what it means to try to make sense of something while you're still living through it.It's a conversation about the real experiences that inspired Ghost Theories—and how one home changed the way he saw the unexplained.#paranormal #ghosttheories #kentjwolfe #hauntedhouse #paranormalbooks #realghoststories #paranormalactivity #supernatural #hauntedhome #authorinterview #paranormalpodcast #thegravetalks Love real ghost stories?

We welcome back John Ward as we discuss John Dee, Magick, Occultism, John's Haunted House, UFO's and more... Dr. John Ward is an archaeologist and anthropologist residing in Luxor, Egypt. Over the years, Dr. Ward has conducted numerous investigations of ancient Egyptian architecture and symbolism, while also carrying out research into the many mysteries surrounding medieval Templarism. With the help of his partner, Dr. Maria Nilsson, John has managed to track the use of particular symbols through the various dynasties and the geography of ancient Egypt leading all the way into the present, with similar threads even extending into parts of Western Europe. The symbols that John and Maria have come to recognize play a very important and integral role, based from their studies, regarding ancient Egyptian life. It is through these symbols that they are driven with the passion to continue their work, which has enabled them not only to develop a greater understanding of the various cultures they study, but also to utilize and acknowledge the importance and sanctity of the symbols. These are aspects which, John argues, still remain largely unknown to mainstream academia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Unexplained activity and an unsettling atmosphere left him questioning whether the home's past was still lingering within its walls.The conversation then shifts to a home in Queens, New York, where Mike lived with his grandfather and encountered what he believes was an angry spirit. Night after night, at exactly 3:00 AM, the sound of someone running through the hallway would jolt him awake. The footsteps became a terrifying routine, and the presence behind them seemed determined to make itself known.Rather than allowing fear to control his life, Mike made the decision to confront the entity himself. He shares the personal journey that led him to take on the spirit alone, the techniques and spiritual practices he used to protect himself, and how he ultimately worked to banish the presence from the home.Mike also opens up about his psychic abilities, discussing how he first realized he could sense things others couldn't, what it's like to read people's energy, and how those abilities have helped shape his understanding of the paranormal world.From a former funeral home in Upstate New York to nightly encounters with an angry spirit in Queens, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences, spiritual insight, and a fascinating look into one man's journey through the unknown.Join Chris, Dean, and Mike for a conversation that explores hauntings, psychic phenomena, and the courage it takes to confront what goes bump in the night.Support the showSOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @TWRoadpodcastIG: twroadpodcastWant to be a guest or share your paranormal experiences?

Old creepy houses are a horror cliche, but why? Why do they freak us out? According to new research, it might have something to do with infrasound: a sound that's below the range of human hearing, potentially emitted by low-rumbling pipes or old boilers more common in older houses. Psychologist and pseudoscience researcher Rodney Schmaltz explains his new study, and what role infrasound could play in leading people to feel unsettled in “haunted” places. Then, infrasound researcher Milton Garcés breaks down the infrasound that's produced by volcanoes and asteroid impacts, and how it serves as a “keep away” signal in nature. Guests: Dr. Rodney Schmaltz is a professor of psychology at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta. Dr. Milton Garcés is a research scientist at the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology and director of the Infrasound Laboratory at the University of Hawai'i in Honolulu.

This is our first CWS x Edition, where we showcase our CWS members Pod episodes. So here goes … You know those stories people tell about haunted houses and you think… “Why the hell didn't they just leave?”Yeah. Turns out we became one of those stories.For years, we lived in a house that never quite felt right. Strange noises. Figures in corners. Things disappearing and turning up in impossible places. At one point it genuinely felt like something wanted us gone… or worse. And yet somehow, we stayed.Maybe it was money.Maybe moving felt harder than dealing with the chaos.Maybe sometimes the devil you know really does feel easier.Until it starts lurking in hallways, hiding the oranges, and making you question your own sanity.This episode goes completely off the rails in the best way possible.

Daly House Museum Part1 Intros and The History - Episode 242Road Trip!!!! Back in October 2025 we were invited to join The Winnipeg Paranormal Group to do a public Investigation at The Daly House in Brandon, Manitoba. It was a fun filled and creepy evening. Did you know that they have a Doll room? Dolls.......pfft, right?? Built in 1882, the Daly House is a small Victorian Mansion nestled in the heart of Brandon. Originally the home of two of Brandon's prominent families – the Dalys and the Coldwells – it is now the only pre-1900 structure remaining on 18th Street, a municipal heritage site, and a fine example of Italianate architecture. This unique museum with its antique furnishings and displays, such as Mutter Brother's Grocery store, transports you back in time to the 19th century the moment you step through the doors. The house was originally owned by Thomas Mayne Daly, Brandon's first lawyer and City Mayor, Manitoba's first Federal Cabinet Minister, and Canada's first juvenile court judge. In 1898, Daly's law partner, George Robson Coldwell, purchased the house. The Coldwell family resided in the house until the 1930s. At that time it was turned into a children's shelter known as the Maples. Forty years later it became Daly House Museum......and .....it's haunted!!!

This week, I talk with Aimee Poktwatka about her hew horror book Accumulation! Listen to hear about: Aimee's unconventional path to becoming an author—from anthropology and veterinary work to creative writing—and how curiosity has shaped her storytelling. How Accumulation was inspired by Aimee's real 18th-century home, a creepy doll her husband found in the yard, and her fascination with haunted house stories as metaphors for domestic life. How the novel blends haunted house horror, psychological suspense, and social commentary to examine motherhood, invisible labor, and the slow erosion of self. Aimee's “inefficient” writing process—heavy outlining followed by intuitive drafting—and how revision uncovers deeper emotional truths. Why horror, especially domestic and psychological horror, can uniquely explore trauma, gender roles, and the unsettling transformation of everyday spaces into something terrifying.

Miles and John wander into the strange world of Hokum to unpack haunted houses, Celtic folklore horror, and why some places feel haunted long before anything supernatural arrives. Along the way, they explore the uncanny, folk horror, and the unsettling feeling that a house may not be haunted at all, but simply built too close to something old.

This week I'm reading from Samantha Leifker's book 'Born Awakened: An Otherworldly True Story' They intervened in my life before I could even speak, and they've guided me ever since. I was born and raised in a poltergeist house, where they trained me in spiritual warfare. I was taken, I was tested, I was shown, and it has only just begun. From angels to greys to UFOs, every encounter I've had until now is detailed in this book, and I hold nothing back. The first thirty years of my life have been filled with paranormal events, out-of-body experiences, meetings with the dead, and contact with many forms of NHI. Extrasensory perception appears to be a result of my exposure to the supernatural, and so do the wild synchronicities that flood my life. We are spiritual beings not confined to the physical, and we have the ability to journey into realms that conventional thinking denies. It's time for humanity to awaken, rediscover our inheritance, and return to the path we were always meant to walk. We're capable of far more than we've been conditioned to believe. The sounds, colors, and energies beyond the veil transcend anything we perceive in the physical world. Even though written language cannot fully convey their depth, I do my best to put each experience into words. Bio From her earliest memory, Samantha Leifker has been in contact with beings unseen by the physical eye. These encounters began in her childhood home, alive with poltergeist activity, and continued throughout her life. She's always carried a sense of greater purpose and has known she is destined to share what she's seen. Her debut book offers a deeply personal account of every paranormal experience she's had to date, each one shattering the boundaries of known truth. Samantha is a fierce and devoted mother of two, a small business owner, and a wild-hearted nature enthusiast. She finds joy in all forms of art, studying wild edible plants, handcrafting natural skincare, and resting in the sun as birds sing across her countryside home. https://www.amazon.com/Born-Awakened-Otherworldly-True-Story-ebook/dp/B0GNC8CSDT https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sarah is getting excited for her farming future since she's decided to pivot away from snow (since there doesn't appear to be any in Denver anymore). We are comparing notes about the ridiculous pick-up lines we've heard recently, and Susie's theory that men are getting worse at lines designed to flirt. Susie is still trying to get Sarah to come up with her list of non-negotiable things that she requires to feel comfortable (like Susie's list of 5 w's), but we think we've finally got a complete picture. We learn about the "great unwanting," and why some people think Gen Z is not having good sex. We discuss the keys to happiness, and find out the list that scientists have determined are the trick to well-being. Sarah explains what causes a house to be haunted (and it's not ghosts).00:00 - From Airport Signs to Future Farm Living08:56 - Saving Money and Spotting Bad PickUp Lines19:37 - Essential 'P's for Life and Cozy Earth Comforts20:54 - Doom Scrolling, Bad Sex, and Skin Longevity35:36 - Unlocking Happiness: A Scientific Look at Well-Being46:28 - The Science Behind Spooky Vibes and Energetic Echoes55:30 - Why Women Love Shopping (and Men Should Shush)Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodLet Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Brian and Jeff continue their haunted house series on Horror Joy with guest Ally Malinenko, discussing her middle grade novel This Appearing House alongside R.L. Stine's Goosebumps debut Welcome to Dead House. Malinenko describes the joy of horror—especially for kids—as teaching readers how to face monsters, offering catharsis, and providing language to process fear and trauma. She explains how This Appearing House uses a haunted-house structure to explore anxiety and the lasting effects of her cancer diagnosis without centering a “cancer book,” including why the diagnosis is largely unstated for young readers. We also dive into bullying, parent-child gaps, rules and rule-breaking in Stine's work, of Petey's death, and the nostalgic influence of Scholastic book fairs and iconic cover art.

We spend all of our time with Dan in Hawaii this week! We head to the Big Island today for five stories. Dan's first story is about something creepy that happened in Hilo in 1902 and 1903 primarily. It revolves around the ghost of a murdered man. Then his second is really a collection of four tales known to many who have taken ghost tours in Hilo. Lynze's tales amp up as she goes. She begins with a milder story about Stowe Bridge in Vermont. Then, a very very unsettling tale about a small piece of cloth that holds some kind power, some kind of spell. Lastly, whistling. Why is whistling so damn creepy?? Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?! We have some amazing friends joining us at camp!

In April 1834, a massive fire broke out at the mansion of Delphine LaLaurie on Royal Street in New Orleans French Quarter. LaLaurie was known to have kept several slaves as servants in the home, but when bystanders attempted to enter the house to rescue those trapped inside, they found the doors barred. After forcing the doors open and making their way inside the house, the rescuers were horrified to find the “horribly mutilated” bodies of at least seven of LaLaurie's slaves. Delphine LaLaurie was known to treat her servants very badly, including physically abusing them, but no one in New Orleans had imagined she was a sadistic murderer. After the discovery of the horrors in the LaLaurie mansion, Delphine LaLaurie fled New Orleans, fearing mob violence, and lived the rest of her life as an exile in Paris—but that is not the end of the story. Just a few decades after LaLaurie abandoned her home and fled the country, her story and those of the men, women, and children who suffered in her home worked their way into New Orleans folklore. Today, nearly two hundred years later, the LaLaurie mansion has become known as the most haunted house in New Orleans, and the legend of Delphine LaLaurie has lived on through television, film, and books about Mad Madame LaLaurie.
