STRANGE: Paranormal Realities in the Everyday World, Part Two | Grave Talks CLASSIC

When We Spoke to the Dead, Part One | Grave Talks CLASSIC

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Author Ilise S. Carter joins us to discuss her new book, When We Spoke to the Dead: How Ghosts Gave American Women Their Voice, a captivating exploration of how the Spiritualism movement reshaped faith, culture, and even feminism. It all began in 1848, when two sisters from upstate New York—the famous Fox Sisters—claimed they could speak to the dead through mysterious knocks on the walls of their farmhouse. Their story sparked a global fascination that transformed parlors into séance rooms and gave rise to one of the most influential movements of the 19th century. Spiritualism wasn’t just about ghosts—it was about change. Mediums, often women, claimed to channel the voices of the departed through raps, trances, and automatic writing, gaining social power in a world that rarely let them speak.  Step into the séance room—where belief met rebellion, and the voices of the dead helped shape the living. Today on The Grave Talks, When We Spoke to the Dead, a conversation with author Ilise S. Carter. #TheGraveTalks #Spiritualism #FoxSisters #IliseSCarter #GhostHistory #ParanormalHistory #Mediums #Séance #LifeAfterDeath #ParanormalPodcast  Love real ghost stories?

The One Thing She Should Have Left on the Shelf | After Midnight

Jenny has always loved thrift stores. To her, they're treasure hunts filled with forgotten antiques, hidden bargains, and pieces of history waiting for a second chance. So when she found a stunning piece of ruby carnival glass for just eight dollars, she couldn't believe her luck. At first, it was just another beautiful addition to her collection. Then she started seeing a man she'd briefly noticed inside the thrift store. He appeared outside her apartment. Then inside it. Always watching. Always silent. What began as the thrill of discovering the perfect antique quickly became a terrifying question: What did she unknowingly bring home from the thrift store? #HauntedAntique #HauntedObject #ThriftStoreFind #GhostAttachment #Apparition #ParanormalEncounter #GhostStory #TrueGhostStory #Attachment #BeingFollowed #GhostlyFigure Love real ghost stories?

Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home, Part Three | Grave Talks CLASSIC

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART THREE For nearly 150 years, Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home in Jackson, California has witnessed life from every angle. Built in 1878, the historic home has served as a boarding house, family residence, and countless other roles as the Gold Country town around it evolved. Along the way, it also developed a reputation for something far more unusual. Today, guests report encounters with spirits believed to still call the home their own. Among them are Maggie, a former owner said to remain with her husband and child, along with other lingering personalities who seem more interested in sharing the house than frightening its visitors. Owner Elsie Lodde joins us to discuss the home's remarkable history, its resident spirits, and why so many believe this haunted house is filled with friendly ghosts rather than fearful ones. This is Part Three of our three-part conversation with Elsie Lodde about Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home. #TheGraveTalks #HomeSweetHauntedHome #JacksonCalifornia #HauntedHouse #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHistory #CaliforniaHauntings #FriendlyGhosts #HistoricalHauntings #Ghosts #Paranormal #Hauntings Love real ghost stories?

Did the House Want Her to Leave? | Real Ghost Stories

Finding the right home is usually about practical things—location, layout, and whether the house feels like a good fit. But during one showing in Ohio, those questions disappeared the moment she opened the basement door. She had only taken a couple of steps when she was overwhelmed by the feeling that she wasn't supposed to be there. What she saw at the bottom of the stairs—and the heaviness that came with it—was enough to convince her to leave without another look. Her mother didn't question the decision. She simply followed her out. Did she sense something that had been left behind... or can a house sometimes tell you exactly how it feels about the people who walk through its door? #RealGhostStory #HauntedHouse #HauntedBasement #Paranormal #HouseHunting #SpiritEncounter #GhostEncounter #Unexplained #PsychicExperience #ParanormalExperience Love real ghost stories?

The Guests Who Never Checked Out of the Haunted Commercial Hotel, Part Two | Guests Rob and Teresa Heckenlively

This is Part Two of our conversation. Rob and Teresa Heckenlively never set out to own a haunted hotel. During a family vacation to Osceola, Missouri, they called a realtor simply because they wanted to see inside the long-vacant Commercial Hotel. They weren't looking to buy a historic landmark—but by the end of the tour, that's exactly what they wanted to do. Built in 1867 after the Civil War's Sacking of Osceola destroyed an earlier hotel on the property, the Commercial Hotel has welcomed famous guests including President Harry Truman and brothers Jesse and Frank James. Today, many believe not every guest has ever truly checked out. As Rob and Teresa began bringing the historic hotel back to life, they discovered they weren't the only ones invested in its future. Before the restoration was even complete, Rob had an encounter so unsettling it kept him away from the hotel for months. Since then, guests have reported heavy footsteps, voices in empty hallways, shadow figures, and other unexplained encounters that continue to fuel the hotel's haunted reputation. Today on The Grave Talks, Rob and Teresa share the remarkable story of rescuing the Commercial Hotel—and what it's like living with whatever may have never left.
