The Strange Thing About...

Nightmare House

Welcome to Episode 4 of The Strange Thing About: Ghost Stories. In 1997, Tamathea thought she had found the perfect home for her and her children in Elkton, Maryland. It was a beautiful three-bedroom house at a price that seemed like a steal. But the neighbors' shocked reactions and a sudden string of bad luck were the first signs that something was wrong. While Tamathea dealt with the heavy footsteps of an unseen presence in the attic, her young daughter Krystal began experiencing a recurring, paralyzed nightmare of a red-eyed skull in a floating orb. In this episode: * The "Too Good to Be True" House: How low real estate prices can sometimes signal a dark history. * The Haunted Attic: The psychological toll of hearing footsteps above your head. * Childhood Visitations: Why children are often the first to see the "shadows" in a new home. * The Connection Between Stress and Activity: Did the haunting cause the job loss, or did the stress feed the spirit? * Connect with us: * Watch the visual experience on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thestrangethingabout * Submit your true story: GhostStories@thestrangethingabout.com * Follow on Instagram: @strangeabout Join us...forever! https://www.thestrangethingabout.com/ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

I Grew Up in a Haunted House

In this episode of The Strange Thing About: Ghost Stories, Santana Maynard shares a lifelong account of growing up in a secluded, haunted home in the West Virginia woods. IN THIS EPISODE: Santana recounts the heavy footsteps that stopped at her bedroom door every night, the mimic voices calling her name, and the terrifying "woman in white" at the foot of her bed. When she finally uses a Ouija board at age 16 to get answers, she uncovers the dark history of "Clara"—a previous tenant with a violent past. But the most shocking part of this real ghost story isn't the haunting—it's how it ended. Following a family pact made in jest, Santana’s grandmother seemingly fulfilled a promise from beyond the grave. SUBMIT YOUR STORY: Have you experienced the unexplainable?

The Haunting of the Mystic Museum

A REAL GHOST ENCOUNTER TOLD BY ERICK YARO WESSEL, PROPRIETOR OF THE MYSTIC MUSUEM IN BURBANK, CALIFORNIA "She's attached to me." In the second episode of The Strange Thing About: Ghost Stories, we step inside the world-renowned Mystic Museum in Burbank. Known for its collection of mortuary artifacts and occult oddities, the museum recently became the site of an undeniable haunting. The Story: It began with a door. A heavy Victorian door purchased from a salvage yard in North Hollywood to complete a new seance parlor. But as soon as the door was installed, the atmosphere of the shop changed. Staff and customers began reporting the same thing: the sound of a little girl giggling and a figure in a white dress playing "peek-a-boo" through construction barriers. When the proprieter stayed late one night to investigate, he encountered a burst of cold wind and a giggle inches from his ear—only to find the security cameras frozen at exactly 3:00 AM. The Evidence: * The Security Loop: Footage that showed Erick talking to empty air, while the playback revealed a small hand reaching out for his shoulder. * The Fingerprints: Tiny, child-sized marks appearing on the inside of locked display cases. * The Witness Accounts: Visitors to the museum asking the same question: "Who is the little girl following you?"
