This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

For John Moore, growing up in a funeral home wasn’t unusual—it was everyday life. Surrounded by viewing rooms, embalming spaces, and the constant presence of the departed, he quickly learned that death wasn’t always the end of the story.

As a child, John began experiencing things he couldn’t explain—footsteps echoing on empty staircases, unexplained activity in quiet rooms, and even what he believes were direct encounters with the spirit of his great-grandfather, the founder of Moore & Sons Funeral Service.

For as long as he could remember, the loud uneven ticking of his grandmother’s kitchen clock filled the old farmhouse house where his family gathered for holidays, storms, arguments, and ordinary afternoons. Even after the clock stopped working years before her death, his grandmother refused to throw it away.

When she died, the family made a strange last-minute decision: they buried the broken clock beside her in the coffin.

A few nights later, he woke in his apartment to the unmistakable sound of it ticking somewhere beyond the bedroom.

What followed over th...

For a long time, the strange activity in the house was easy to dismiss. Footsteps upstairs. Toys moving around. The feeling that someone else was in the room. Creepy, sure—but manageable.

Then they saw the little boy.

Not a shadow. Not a vague figure in the corner of a room. A child. Running through the upstairs bedrooms while the family’s daughters were outside playing in the yard. After that, everything in the house started to feel different.

The shared closet between the girls’ bedrooms became the center of the activity. Toys appear...

The Queen Mary already has a reputation for being haunted, but at five years old, she didn’t know anything about ghost stories.

To her, it was just a giant ship full of strange hallways, crowded rooms, and people everywhere. But almost immediately, both she and her grandmother noticed something that didn’t seem right.

First, there was the sharply dressed man sitting alone in the restaurant that nobody else appeared to notice. Then came the little girl in the white dress.

At the time, none of it seemed frightening. In fact, the litt...

The old house looked perfect when Caitlin’s family moved in. Big rooms. Character. Quiet streets. The kind of place that feels comforting during the day.

At night was different.

The children became afraid of the upstairs almost immediately, though nobody could fully explain why. Strange sounds moved through the bedrooms when no one was there. Toys seemed to shift on their own. And the uneasy feeling in the house became so normal that the kids stopped trying to sleep in their own rooms altogether.

But the moment that stayed with Caitlin happened lo...

Dawn had wanted to visit Gettysburg for years. Like so many people drawn there, she expected history, emotion, maybe even a strange feeling standing on the battlefield where so many people died.

What she didn’t expect was for something to follow her back to the cabin that night.

Sometime after falling asleep, she heard her husband urgently whispering for her to wake up. Still half asleep, she opened her eyes to see his hand pointing upward toward the ceiling.

And that’s when she saw it.

Even now, years later, she...

Kevin Schmitz’s connection to the paranormal began at a young age with an experience he could never explain—seeing his grandmother surrounded by a strange blue glow late at night. It was a moment that would stay with him and mark the beginning of a lifetime shaped by the unexplained.

As a teenager, that connection deepened when he moved into a house where unsettling and unexplainable events became part of daily life, pushing him to question what was real and what wasn’t.

Kevin Schmitz’s connection to the paranormal began at a young age with an experience he could never explain—seeing his grandmother surrounded by a strange blue glow late at night. It was a moment that would stay with him and mark the beginning of a lifetime shaped by the unexplained.

As a teenager, that connection deepened when he moved into a house where unsettling and unexplainable events became part of daily life, pushing him to question what was real and what wasn’t.

But everything change...

It started the way a lot of bad decisions do—teenagers, alcohol, and an abandoned house in the middle of the night.

At first, the place didn’t seem especially creepy. Run down, sure. But not dangerous. The group settled in, plugged in lights, and tried to turn the empty house into their own private hangout.

Then the sounds upstairs began.

Soft at first. Just enough to make everyone stop talking for a second before brushing it off. But the noises kept getting louder, more deliberate… almost like something reacting to them.

What...

The building already had a reputation before she moved in.

Residents talked about shadow figures in the hallways. Strange movement near corners. The uneasy feeling that someone else was there when the corridors were empty. Considering the land beneath the flats once housed a smallpox home where countless people died, she tried not to think too much about it.

Then she spent her first night there.

Almost immediately, she began waking up at the exact same time every night with the overwhelming sensation that something was standing in the corner of the room...

What began as a cheap apartment above a row of downtown storefronts slowly became something Cara could no longer explain away. At first it was only footsteps in empty rooms, doors standing open, and the uneasy feeling that someone else was inside the apartment when no one should have been there.

Then one night, a friend screamed after seeing something move inside the bedroom closet.

After that, the atmosphere inside the apartment changed completely.

A few days later, the three women made the mistake Cara still regrets more than fifteen years later: they...

Halloween night was supposed to be simple fun—costumes, candy, and wandering through the neighborhood with family. But somewhere along the way, the mood shifted. The streets suddenly felt darker, quieter, wrong somehow.

That’s when the three of them noticed the house on the corner with the massive tree in the yard. Standing near it was something none of them have ever been able to explain.

At first, Claudia tried convincing herself there had to be a logical explanation. A prank. Someone trying to scare people. But the longer they watched, the less human the...

Sarah never considered herself the kind of person who goes looking for ghosts. Visiting the Driskill Hotel in Austin was supposed to be more about history, sightseeing, and having fun with friends than chasing paranormal activity.

Honestly, the hotel’s ghost stories felt a little too polished to take seriously. Haunted room pamphlets. Famous legends. Tourists hoping to see something spooky.

But right before leaving the hotel, one final photo on the grand staircase forced her to reconsider everything.

What showed up in the pictures didn’t look like dust, camera glare, or a ra...

When Tim moved in with his grandparents as a child, their house should have felt safe.

Instead, the upstairs bedroom quickly became the place he dreaded most at night. Part of it was the dolls.

His grandmother kept a pair of old porcelain dolls from Europe displayed on a shelf at the foot of his bed near the attic door. Even during the daytime, something about them felt wrong. But what truly unsettled him was waking up to find the dolls in completely different places than where they had been the night before.

What began as a simple afternoon at the park turned into a moment that would change Soula Vaitsis’s life forever.

As a young girl, Soula experienced a terrifying encounter when an unseen force pulled her hair, followed by the appearance of a glowing woman in white with hollow, dark eyes hovering nearby. It was a moment that marked the beginning of years of unexplained and increasingly disturbing experiences.

Over time, Soula came to believe this was not just a random encounter—but an atta...

Fort Robinson already carried a heavy history long before Cathy ever stayed there.

The former military post in northwest Nebraska had seen war, death, imprisonment, and tragedy stretching back generations. By the late 1980s, parts of the fort had been turned into a park where families could rent the old officer’s quarters and spend weekends exploring the grounds.

That’s exactly what Cathy’s family did.

After a long day of horseback riding and sightseeing, everyone settled into the massive old brick house for the night. Sometime after midnight, Cathy woke to the so...

Most people dismissed Warren as eccentric during the final years of his life. He asked strange questions, seemed to know things before they happened, and often warned family members about events that made no sense at the time.

After Warren died unexpectedly, his nephew Brad helped clean out the old house and discovered a letter hidden inside a tin above the refrigerator. What began as a deeply unsettling confession quickly became something much worse.

According to Warren, for decades an elderly man had appeared in his dreams, calmly sitting at the kitchen table warning him...

It began only weeks after a close family friend lost her brother. At first, the strange activity seemed harmless—ceiling fan lights turning on by themselves, random flickering, and fire alarms sounding for no reason. Easy things to explain away.

Until it started happening in two separate homes.

One night, a blinking light flashed beneath a bedroom door while two girls tried to fall asleep. Another evening, during Thanksgiving dinner, the family made a toast in memory of the man who had passed away… and immediately the dining room lights flickered while the fire alarm erup...

What started as a simple slumber party between cousins turned into one of the strangest experiences their family has ever shared. Late into the night, after everyone had settled into the upstairs loft to sleep, two children separately woke to the sight of a dark shadow figure standing silently nearby.

One saw it leaning directly over the couch staring down at him. Another saw the same figure near the top of the stairs hours later.

Neither child knew the other had experienced anything until breakfast the next morning, when both began describing the exact same...

She was spending the weekend at a friend’s parents’ house in rural Pennsylvania when they reached an older section of the home that felt slightly different from the rest. At the end of a narrow hallway was a small room no one seemed to use anymore. Nothing about it looked unusual when the door opened, but the moment she stepped toward it, something in her told her not to go any further.

It wasn’t fear exactly—just a clear, immediate sense that she didn’t belong in that space. What stayed with her even more was the re...

An abandoned ghost town in southern Utah seemed like the perfect place for a group of high school friends obsessed with the paranormal. Hidden near old tribal land and surrounded by online rumors, the place already had a reputation before they ever arrived.

For three days, nothing happened.

Then on their final night, one friend came running back into camp claiming he’d seen a shadow figure near the tree line below the hill. Another swore he saw something animal-like rise up and move like a person before disappearing into the woods.

Most of...

The riverfront homes were marketed as luxury living—modern architecture built on redeveloped industrial land beside the water. Nothing about the neighborhood felt old, hidden, or remotely haunted. That was part of what made the experiences so difficult to explain.

It started with the feeling.

Residents began waking in the middle of the night with the overwhelming certainty that someone was already standing inside the room watching them. Some saw figures near the doorway or beside the bed. Others only sensed a presence before jolting awake in panic. Most avoided talking about it at all.

What should have been a quiet morning alone in her boyfriend’s basement bedroom turned into an experience she still can’t fully explain. Half asleep and drifting in and out of consciousness, she first heard someone softly whispering her name from inches away. At first, she assumed it was her boyfriend trying to wake her.

Then she remembered he’d left for work hours earlier.

Moments later, the bed shifted beneath her as though someone had sat down beside her in the dark. Whatever it was slowly moved closer and closer until she finally forced...

What started as a fun honeymoon ghost tour through Charleston quickly turned into the kind of experience that’s hard to explain away.

While walking through one of the city’s old alleyways, the tour guide shared the story of a man who had been violently attacked and stabbed there years earlier. According to the guide, visitors on the tour would sometimes leave with an odd burning sensation on their leg… or even unexplained marks appearing afterward.

It sounded theatrical. The kind of creepy detail designed to get a reaction from tourists. And at first, that’s...

The property outside Bastrop, Texas, was supposed to be a temporary solution—a place to help family after reports of someone wandering through the woods at night. But almost immediately, the nights became unsettling.

The dogs barked constantly at unseen movement outside the house. Strange lights drifted through the trees before vanishing without a trace. And no matter how many times he searched the property with a flashlight and shotgun, he never found anyone there.

Then came the sounds beneath the house.

Late at night, he began hearing children laughing, running, and talking so...

Working overnight security, you get used to the routine—empty office buildings, quiet hallways, and the kind of silence where every little sound stands out a little more than it should.

Except for one building. There was something about it people didn’t like. The housekeepers didn’t want to go in alone. Other guards avoided it when they could. No one really explained why—just that it was different.

And then one night, something happened that couldn’t be brushed off.

Only after that did he start to understand—there was a reason peopl...

Chris Nuara’s introduction to the paranormal began at a very young age.

Growing up in what he believes was a haunted house, Chris experienced disturbing events throughout his childhood, including hearing voices that warned him and his family were going to die. Despite the intensity of these experiences, his parents dismissed them, leaving him to cope with a reality few around him understood.

As he got older, Chris began to realize he wasn’t alone—and that others had lived through similar encounters.

They rented the cabin for the isolation. After months of stress and noise, a few quiet days beside a remote mountain lake sounded perfect.

Then the sounds started after dark.

Music drifted faintly through the trees while voices carried somewhere beyond the lake. Sometimes the sounds felt distant. Other times, it seemed like people were standing just outside the cabin itself. Footsteps crossed the gravel around the porch. Car doors slammed nearby. Quiet conversations moved through the woods.

But every time they looked outside, the forest was completely empty The next day, they...

What was supposed to be a temporary fresh start quickly turned into ten years inside a house that never felt right. From the first day she stepped through the front door, the place carried an oppressive heaviness she couldn’t explain. Soon, strange things started happening—objects disappearing and reappearing, unexplained infestations, and an overwhelming feeling that something unseen was always nearby.

But the real terror waited in the basement.

Late one freezing night, while feeding the wood burner alone, she looked into the glowing firebox and saw something impossible taking shape inside the embers. What...

A childhood game inside an empty house becomes the beginning of years of terrifying encounters no one in the family can fully explain. What started with whispers coming from a closet slowly turned into something much darker—late-night encounters with an unseen presence that seemed to follow her from room to room, house to house, and eventually all the way to college.

At first, it was easy to dismiss as nightmares or childhood fear. But over the years, the experiences became harder to ignore. A flashlight-like glow in the darkness. Something tugging at her ankle from beneath th...

They’d spent plenty of nights at Dave’s house. Stayed up late, hung out on the porch—nothing about it had ever felt off.

Until one night… everything did. When they went back inside, the house didn’t match what they’d left. The lights were on. The air had turned cold. It looked like someone had been moving through the rooms while they were outside.

Then it escalated.

They tried to explain it away. Lack of sleep. Their minds playing tricks on them. But that doesn’t explain why it all happened in on...

Some neighborhoods carry a feeling you can’t really explain. In her part of Los Angeles, tragedy seemed woven into almost every street—murders, suicides, deadly accidents, even a plane crash that killed several people not far from where she lived. Over the years, the area developed a reputation for strange stories and unsettling experiences, but she never paid much attention to any of it. Weird things happened sometimes, but never anything that felt directly connected to her.

Then one night while walking her dog, she noticed someone sitting silently in the back seat of the family car...

Most people saw the Victorian as a money pit. Layers of bad renovations had buried much of the home’s original character beneath decades of shortcuts and remodeling. But the deeper they dug into the house, the more it seemed determined to reveal pieces of itself that had been hidden away for generations.

Then the dreams began.

Not nightmares, but vivid glimpses into an older version of the house—warm hallways lit by gas lamps, vanished rooms, forgotten staircases, and details so specific they became impossible to explain once renovations uncovered them exactly where she had...

What starts as a familiar sound in the middle of the night quickly turns into something impossible to explain. After hearing the front door open, a woman and her mother assume a family member has arrived home late. But the house never fills with voices or conversation. Instead, all they hear are heavy footsteps moving slowly through the dark.

Then the shower turns on. The refrigerator opens and closes. And whatever is inside the house seems completely comfortable taking its time.

Terrified someone has broken in, they stay locked in their bedroom waiting for the...

Locals around Vancouver had talked about the Gargoyle House for years. Long before it became a recording studio, the building had reportedly been an auto body shop where a worker died in a tragic accident—and the place never fully lost its uneasy reputation afterward.

Late one night in 2014, two friends stayed behind alone at the studio finishing a recording session while the owners were out of town. The house already felt unsettling enough after dark, but things took a turn after the conversation drifted toward whether anything paranormal had ever happened there.

Minutes later, th...

She’s not the kind of person who jumps to paranormal explanations. Old buildings creak. Pipes make noise. People in the next room can sound closer than they are. There’s always a reason—until there isn’t.

What was supposed to be a quick overnight stop turned into something neither of them expected, especially not in a place that didn’t even feel particularly eerie at first. Just worn down. Quiet. Ordinary.

But as the night went on, the sounds didn’t behave the way they should have. They didn’t stay where they belonged. And...

When the Monroe Theatre opened in Woodsfield, Ohio, in 1939, it quickly became a hub for entertainment, hosting everything from vaudeville performances to classic films. But when the theater closed in 1977, the building didn’t fall completely silent.

For decades, reports of unexplained activity have continued inside its walls—phantom footsteps echoing backstage, music playing when no one is there, and equipment seemingly coming to life on its own.

Some believe the spirits of former employees and performers never left, continuing their routines long after the...
