Brian was thirteen and home alone when someone knocked on the door. Looking out the dining room window, he saw two kids standing on the porch, waiting patiently for someone to answer.

He nearly opened the door—until an overwhelming feeling stopped him. Moments later, after another knock, he checked the window again. The porch was empty.

The strange part? With a long driveway and a clear view of the yard, there was nowhere they could have gone without him seeing them leave.

Years later, after hearing stories about something called “Black Eyed Kids...

The property had been sitting empty for years, but nothing about it felt unusual when he moved in. The house was quiet, the kind of place where small sounds could be explained without much thought.

That changed after he cleared out the outbuilding and brought one thing inside.

At first, it was easy to dismiss. The chair never moved enough to be certain—just small shifts, slight changes in position, the kind of thing you could blame on memory or uneven floors.

Until he heard it. And once that happened, it became harder to...

It started with small things—her ceiling fan moving on its own, blinds rattling in the middle of the night—easy enough to explain away at first.

But after her family began renovating the house, things started changing. Objects went missing. Cabinets opened and closed. Glasses fell and shattered for no clear reason.

She began to wonder if it was the spirit of the woman who had once lived there… and even asked it to stop. Surprisingly, it seemed to listen. At least for a while.

Because the moment that changed everything came when h...

Years after hearing voices she had grown used to, something unexpected happened—a light in her room turned on by itself for the first time in a decade.

At first, she took it as a sign that whatever had once been with her was still there. But things didn’t stop there.

After moving in with a friend, she woke up one night to see someone standing silently in her doorway. She assumed it was her roommate—until the next morning, when she learned no one had come downstairs.

Then came the footsteps. The em...

When he worked at a small discount movie theater years ago, the job mostly involved long stretches of waiting around between movies.

During those quiet shifts, the staff started sharing stories about strange things happening in the building—things people heard in empty rooms or glimpsed out of the corner of their eye.

At first it was easy to laugh it off.

But after one particular moment in a hallway outside the restrooms, he started wondering if there might have been something else moving around the theater after closing.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

What happens when a passionate all-female paranormal team steps into one of Alabama’s most historic homes?

In this episode, Lesley Ann Hyde and the Southern Ghost Girls share their chilling investigation of Arlington House in Birmingham, Alabama. This grand antebellum estate is known not only for its architectural beauty, but for activity that suggests the past may still be very much present.

From intelligent responses captured during sessions to unexplained shadows moving through historic hallways, the team details experiences that go far beyond simple residual en...

Drew had always been fascinated by the paranormal. Growing up in northeastern Pennsylvania, he lived not far from places that had drawn national attention from investigators like Ed and Lorraine Warren.

But the strangest experiences didn’t happen there. They happened years later in a quiet house on Maryland’s eastern shore.

At first the activity was subtle—strange sounds, distant conversations, footsteps when no one else was home. Then one day Drew’s wife walked into their bedroom and saw something that changed how he looked at the house entirely.

Someone was sitting...

The house felt normal from the start—quiet, predictable, easy to settle into. For months, any small sounds or odd moments were easy to dismiss.

Then one night, he saw something cross the yard.

It moved the same way each time—steady, deliberate, and gone just as quickly. At first, it felt simple enough to explain. A pattern. Something repeating.

But the more he paid attention, the less that explanation held. Because it wasn’t ending where he thought it was. And once he realized where that path actually led, it became harder to ign...

After moving into an old home with a history, he started hearing something he couldn’t explain—a steady sound like a basketball being bounced.

At first, it seemed like it was coming from outside. But every time he tried to track it down, it shifted—front door, back of the house, living room—without ever actually moving.

The sound never changed, and he was the only one who could hear it.

Over time, it became familiar enough that he even joked it was the spirit of a boy named Ricky, rumored to have liv...

It starts with a late-night video and a comment he says out loud—seconds before the lights in his house shut off one by one, then come back on the same way. At first, it feels like a coincidence. But it’s not the only time something in that house has responded.

Years earlier, he jokingly asked for proof it was haunted—and the lights shut off immediately. After that, smaller things kept happening, just enough to notice but never enough to explain. Then, after his father passed away, it didn’t feel small anymore.

His mom...

Late one night, after the restaurant had emptied and the doors were locked, she was finishing up her closing routine alone. The kind of shift she’d worked dozens of times before—quiet, predictable, nothing out of the ordinary.

That’s when she saw someone cross the dining room.

It wasn’t a blur or a trick of the light. It was clear enough to make her stop what she was doing and look up.

At first, she assumed it had to be a customer who slipped back in. But when she went to check...

Jacinda Rearick was focused on healing from a painful back injury when unsettling activity in her home began to intensify. What started as unexplained noises and uneasy feelings soon escalated into something far more disturbing—physical and psychological attacks that left her and her family fearing for their safety.

As the presence in the house grew darker and more aggressive, Jacinda sought help from paranormal investigator and demonologist Kevin Tersavige. Working alongside his wife, a psychic sensitive to spiritual forces, they began identifying the entities believed to...

After Caitlin and her husband moved into her grandparents’ old house in rural Louisiana, she often found herself there alone at night while he traveled for work.

One evening she was lying in bed with her two dogs when both animals suddenly shot upright and stared at the bedroom door.

A moment later, she heard the hallway door open. Then footsteps moving down the hall toward her room. Every door in the house was locked.

And when the footsteps stopped outside her bedroom door, something else happened that she still can’t explain.

The house felt like exactly what they needed—quiet, stable, and completely ordinary. Nothing about it stood out, and for a while, everything worked the way it was supposed to.

Then one afternoon, out of boredom more than belief, he decided to try something he had seen on television. It was simple. A quick recording. A few questions spoken into an otherwise empty house.

He didn’t expect anything to happen. At first, it didn’t.

But when he listened back, something didn’t sound right. Not obvious. Not dramatic. Just enough to make him...

A late-night emergency call sends two paramedics to a rural home with no power, boarded-up windows, and a family that doesn’t seem to want them there. Inside, they find a woman thrashing in bed—but it doesn’t look like a seizure.

The atmosphere feels off from the start. The people in the room aren’t acting like this is a medical emergency, and something about the situation doesn’t add up. Then the patient grabs one of them… and it takes multiple people to pull her off.

What happens next is something neither of them can...

She had just settled into her new workspace when a woman showed up looking for someone named Janet. No one there knew who that was.

The woman tried to get into a locked office, couldn’t, and left without another word. That night, things changed.

After dark, the space next door didn’t stay quiet. Footsteps moved back and forth, and a cabinet door opened and closed—again and again.

The office was locked. No one was inside. It happened the next night too. And the one after that.

She’s tried to...

When he was 18, he was at a friend’s house party when the conversation drifted to a strange detail about the home—a room down the hallway that always seemed colder than the rest of the house. Naturally, a few curious people went to see for themselves.

The room didn’t look unusual. But the moment they stepped inside, several of them noticed the same thing. The temperature felt different… and something about the space felt off.

Then something in that room changed the mood of the entire house.

Was it coincidence…or had someth...

Amanda has never considered herself sensitive to the paranormal—and she’s perfectly happy keeping it that way.

But one night while getting ready to go out, something happened in the mirror of her small Southern California apartment that she still can’t explain.

At first it seemed completely normal. Her husband had been teasing her all evening, sneaking into the bathroom and poking at her while she got ready.

So when she saw him again in the mirror behind her, crouched low and trying to sneak up, she didn’t think anything of it. U...

The house didn’t stand out in any way when they moved in. It was just another place on a quiet street—nothing unusual, nothing that would make anyone hesitate. And for a while, everything felt exactly as it should.

But not long after settling in, something subtle began to shift. It wasn’t loud or dramatic. It didn’t leave behind anything they could point to or prove. It was just a feeling—one that seemed to return at the same moments, in the same part of the house, always just out of view.

At first...

She had just moved into a new apartment and was still getting used to the space when something strange happened.

It started in the bedroom, in a closet that already felt a little off. She stepped away for a moment, leaving her phone behind with the flashlight on. Seconds later, music began playing—even though the phone was locked.

Later that night, she heard three clear knocks at the door. When she opened it, no one was there. No footsteps. No voices. No sign anyone had been nearby.

She’s tried to explain it a...

He took the job out of necessity—restoring an old Victorian home that had fallen into disrepair. Over time, the work became something more, a careful effort to bring the house back to what it once was.

One afternoon, high above the ground on scaffolding, a simple misstep turned into something far more serious. In an instant, he lost his footing and began to fall backward with nothing to catch him.

There was no time to react. No way to stop it. Then he felt something.

A sudden rush, a firm pressure at hi...

Living alone in a small apartment complex, he thought the strangest thing he’d have to worry about were the recent break-ins neighbors had been talking about. A couple of units had already had their doors forced, and management was reminding everyone to be careful about locking up.

One afternoon after running errands, he stretched out on the couch and drifted into that half-awake state where you’re aware of the room around you but not fully conscious.

That’s when he heard a young girl’s voice from somewhere in the living room. The voice as...

At a young age, DC O’Rourke received what he believes was a message from his deceased grandfather—words of hope that would quietly shape the course of his life. That early experience sparked a deep and unshakable curiosity about the paranormal, one that only intensified as he grew older.

Not long after, DC found himself drawn to a remote patch of woods that felt anything but ordinary. What began as curiosity quickly turned into something far more unsettling. The forest seemed to hold a presence—dark...

For years, Steve had heard the same stories about his grandparents’ house.

Relatives would casually mention hearing quiet movement downstairs late at night—slow footsteps across the living room floor, or the faint scrape of a chair shifting when no one else was awake. Steve never believed any of it.

Old houses make noise. Wood settles. Pipes knock in the walls. But one night, while he was alone in the house, Steve heard the same sounds everyone else in the family had described for years.

And for the first time, he began to wond...

For years, the park had been part of her morning routine.

She ran the same trail before work, at the same time every day, passing the same handful of familiar faces who shared the quiet early hours before sunrise.

One morning near the far end of the loop, she passed a runner she didn’t recognize. The woman wore a bright red hoodie that stood out in the dim morning light. They exchanged the quick nod runners often give each other before continuing in opposite directions. At the time, it felt like nothing more than an...

After losing her cousin at just 19, the signs began in small ways—subtle moments that felt personal, almost familiar. Lights would flicker, power would shift, and somehow it always seemed to happen at just the right time.

Then one night, years later, something happened that was harder to explain. A song deeply tied to him played loudly in a place where it shouldn’t have been possible.

From that point on, the connection never really seemed to fade. Instead, it showed up in unexpected ways—through music, timing, and moments that felt too specific to dismis...

After moving into a new apartment, everything seemed normal at first. It was quiet, comfortable, and exactly what they had hoped for.

Then small things started happening. Nothing dramatic—just moments that were easy to brush off or explain away without thinking too much about them. At least in the beginning.

Over time, though, those moments became harder to ignore, especially when she was alone. The apartment didn’t feel empty anymore, even when it should have been.

What unsettled her most wasn’t fear, exactly—but the sense that whatever was there wasn’t r...

The activity started in a duplex—unexplained sounds, things moving without reason, and the feeling that someone else was there when no one should have been.

At first, it seemed tied to the house. But when they moved, it didn’t stop.

The same patterns followed—objects reacting, strange voices, and moments that couldn’t be easily explained. Over time, the experiences became more frequent and more personal, especially for one member of the family.

What began as unsettling activity gradually shifted into something harder to understand, blurring the line between a haunting and some...

Lena loved the old apartment above the row of downtown shops. The building had character—tall ceilings, creaky wood floors, and the quiet charm that comes with older places.

But after moving in, she began noticing small things that didn’t quite make sense. Her dog would stare down empty hallways. Sometimes she felt like someone had just walked past her when no one else was home.

Then one night she woke up and saw a man standing quietly at the foot of the bed. At first, she convinced herself it had to be a drea...

Her son was very young when it started—barely old enough to form full sentences, but already able to describe things in a way that didn’t feel typical.

At first, it seemed harmless. He talked about a “friend,” something many kids do. But then came the details—where this friend lived, what he looked like, and what he wanted.

That’s when it stopped feeling like imagination. The behavior didn’t stay contained to quiet moments or playtime. It followed him, interrupting ordinary days and drawing attention in ways that were harder to dismiss.

The most...

During a trip to St. Augustine, she visited one of the city’s most historic sites—a place known for its past and the energy tied to it. While standing near the execution wall, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, followed by an overwhelming sense of anxiety that didn’t feel like her own.

It came on fast and didn’t make sense, but just as quickly as it started, it stopped.

Right at that moment, her mother—standing behind her—reacted to something she had seen. A white mass, shooting away from her bod...

Can demonic entities cause death, or are tragic endings rooted in something else entirely? How far can their influence reach—into the minds of adults, into the lives of children, into the unseen corners of our world?

Renowned demonologist Peter James Dowling joins The Grave Talks for a sobering and thought-provoking conversation about the reality of demonic influence. Drawing from years of research and firsthand encounters, Dowling discusses the motives attributed to dark entities, the subtle and overt ways they may infiltrate human lives, and the ps...

She was already on edge that night. The house had always felt a little off, but nothing she could clearly explain.

After watching a movie that terrified her, she went to bed unable to shake the images from her mind. She hadn’t even fallen asleep when she saw something standing in her room.

At first, she tried to convince herself it wasn’t real. Just her imagination, feeding off what she had just watched.

But when she looked again, it was still there.

She didn’t move. She didn’t call out...

Erica’s grandmother had always been protective of the family.

She called often. She checked in constantly. And whenever the kids left her house, she always said the same thing.

“Text me when you get home.”

After she passed away, the house felt quieter than anyone expected. About a week later, something strange happened late at night. Erica had just turned off the living room light and started walking down the hallway when the light behind her suddenly clicked back on.

At first, she assumed it was faulty wiring. But weeks later...

For the first twenty years of his life, this listener considered himself a complete skeptic when it came to the paranormal. Ghost stories were easy to dismiss when nothing unusual had ever happened to him personally.

That changed after he moved into an apartment in Akron, Ohio with a coworker who casually mentioned something strange—he believed a spirit named “Bob” had been following him for most of his life.

At first the claim sounded ridiculous. But after moving in together, small unexplained events began happening inside the apartment—things that were easy to brush off at f...

In 2010, a woman purchased her first home in Lafayette, Indiana—a small two-bedroom house from the 1950s that needed plenty of work. The previous owners had left the place in rough shape, but after months of repairs and renovations, it was finally ready to move into.

At first the house seemed quiet enough. But not long after settling in with her elderly corgi, strange little things started happening late at night. Her dog began acting nervous, waking her up repeatedly and refusing to stay in certain rooms of the house.

Then one night she noticed so...

He grew up in a conservative Christian home where the paranormal simply wasn’t something people talked about. If something strange happened, you explained it away and moved on.

But one week at a summer church camp in the woods of Georgia left him with something he’s never been able to fully explain.

It started with a quiet whisper in the middle of the night. At first, he assumed it was another counselor trying to get his attention outside the cabin. But when he checked, no one was there.

Then it happened agai...
