True Hauntings

Case 197: Chateau De Amerois Part 1 - Secret Societies and Security Cameras

Behind locked gates in the Ardennes forest sits a château most people have never heard of — and that’s exactly how some would prefer it. Château d’Amérois isn’t splashed across tourist brochures or wedding websites. I t doesn’t trade on Instagram sunsets or glossy heritage grants. I t sits quietly in Belgium, wrapped in trees and whispers, with a history that feels… curated. And whenever history feels curated, I start asking questions. On paper, it’s aristocracy. Royal connections. Nobility. Perfect stonework and manicured grounds. But scratch just a little deeper and the story shifts tone. Rumours of secretive gatherings. Claims of ritual activity. Stories that refuse to sit neatly in the “just a beautiful old castle” category. Now — are all of those claims documented fact? No. And we’ll separate what is provable from what is pure speculation, because that’s how we do things here. But the sheer persistence of the allegations surrounding this place is enough to make even the most hardened sceptic lean forward. Tonight, we’re stepping inside Château d’Amérois — not as gossip hunters, not as conspiracy chasers, but as investigators of narrative. What is known. What is alleged. And why certain buildings seem to attract stories that cling like damp to stone walls. Because sometimes a haunting isn’t about a ghost in the corridor… sometimes it’s about power, secrecy, and the uncomfortable feeling that something happened behind those doors that never quite made it into the official record. Stay with us. This one is layered. But a warning - if you feel that listening to a darker tale that may involve talk about abuse is too much for you, please look after yourself and consider if this episode is for you. We have also had to split this story into two parts - this episode delves into the history of the site. Our next episode expands on the mythology and what has been said to occur behind closed doors and away from the eyes of the world. When people throw mud - some of it will always stick.

Case 196: Malahide Castle – Puck, Still Laughing from the Shadows

Malahide Castle looks polite enough from the outside. Manicured grounds. Postcard Ireland. The kind of place tour buses roll into without anyone gripping their seat too tightly. But that’s the trick with places like this — the real story doesn’t live in the stone walls or the gift shop. It lives in what happened when nobody was watching… and in the long memory of a family who occupied the same ground for nearly eight hundred years. In this episode, we peel back the tourist gloss and look at the actual history — the Talbot family, their power, their secrets, their scandals, and the very human mess that builds up when generation after generation refuses to let go. This isn’t about jumping straight to ghost stories. It’s about betrayal, sudden deaths, political manoeuvring, violent endings, and the kind of unresolved business that tends to linger long after the last body is buried. Because when a place has seen loyalty rewarded with ruin, love curdle into revenge, and privilege protect some while destroying others… you don’t need to stretch very far to understand why people still report footsteps in empty corridors and figures where no one should be standing. This episode lays the groundwork — the bones beneath the hauntings — and once you hear it, Malahide Castle won’t feel quite so well-behaved again.

Case 195: Fox Hollow Farm USA - Home of a Murderer

Fox Hollow Farm. On the surface, it’s a sprawling Indiana estate: polished timber, manicured lawns, that eerie indoor pool glistening under fluorescent lights. But dig a little beneath that pretty façade and you’ll uncover that once it was the former home of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister. And as always, where there is tragedy… something tends to linger. Behind every shadow on this property there are real families who waited years — sometimes decades — for answers. And what makes Fox Hollow Farm such a compelling haunted site isn’t just the Baumeister case itself, but the layers that followed: the human remains still surfacing, the ongoing forensic work, the eyewitness accounts from the people who lived there long after the police tape came down. If you think you already know the Herb Baumeister story…The truth is deeper, darker, and far stranger than the documentaries let on. In this episode of the True Hauntings podcast, we’re pulling apart why Fox Hollow Farm is considered one of the most haunted true-crime locations in the United States. We’ll share the chilling experiences reported by the family who moved in after the Baumeisters, explore the intense paranormal activity documented on the property, and look at what’s happening at Fox Hollow now — from modern DNA investigations to the ongoing attempts to identify the victims still waiting for their names. Settle in… this is a story that stays with you long after the recording ends.  But a warning - this case may hold information that are too raw to some of you, it may be a story that is too disturbing so please, look after yourselves and make the right choice for you.

Case 194: Nakagusuku Hotel Japan - A Haunted Ruin

👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to True Hauntings for more terrifying tales, chilling investigations, and the odd bit of ghost-hunting mischief. 💀 Support us: Buy us a coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata] 🎭 Join the madness: Become a Patreon Ghostie [https://www.patreon.com/anneandrenata] 📺 Watch the misadventures: YouTube: Frightfully Good [https://www.youtube.com/@AnneAndRenata] We are opening the dusty archives and the ghost files on one of Japan’s most infamous ruins — that hulking concrete skeleton that once sat beside Nakagusuku Castle. You’ve seen it in urbex photos, you’ve seen it in ghost compilations, you’ve heard about “the cursed hotel on sacred land.” But tonight we’re not doing jump-scares — we’re doing history. And we’re doing it properly. Bones first, ghosts later. And Nakagusuku gives us plenty of both. This hill contains centuries of spiritual meaning, decades of construction mishaps, a mountain of local resentment… and then, over all of that, the myths. So by the time we finish this journey, we’ll lay out exactly where the hauntings might come from — historically, emotionally, and culturally — and where it’s probably just folklore growing over cracked concrete.
