Welcome to Lake Tomahawk, where the scent of pine mixes with whispers from the beyond and the local café might serve you more than just coffee.

Author and paranormal investigator Mark Palbicki has spent years documenting the strange, familiar hauntings of his hometown — ghosts who once shared the same sidewalks, barstools, and stories. With his team Fulcrum, Mark doesn’t chase legends; he pursues spirits he actually knew in life. From Donna of the Village Café, who may still linger behind the counter, to Buckskin, a restle...

A tropical storm forced a Louisiana wedding into a rustic cabin tucked away inside a state park. Years later, that wedding wasn't what one family remembered most.

After the celebration ended and everyone went home, one guest had an experience she couldn't explain. The memory stayed with her long enough that she eventually returned to the same cabin, hoping to finally put it behind her.

Instead, a young family member who knew nothing about her story noticed something that sounded disturbingly familiar.

Was it coincidence, imagination, or had they both encountered the same...

In his new book, Moonshine, Music, and Ghosts, Tony Brooks invites you on a rollicking adventure through the stories of his life—a world where moonshine flowed like water, dance halls blazed with country-rock anthems, and ghostly encounters defied explanation. Beyond the music and moonshine lies another side of Tony’s life: his chilling encounters with the supernatural.

From a ghostly woman in an old-fashioned gown wandering his brother’s house to a glowing orb of light in his father’s basement, Tony’s ghost stories will leave you questi...

After escaping an abusive relationship, moving back into his mother's house was supposed to be a chance to heal. Little by little, life began feeling normal again. Then his mother moved away.

Not long after, he began hearing someone come home in the middle of the night. The front door would open. Footsteps would cross the living room. Cabinets would open in the kitchen, as though someone was simply settling in after a long day.

The house was always empty.

At first, he blamed anxiety, stress, medication, and even sleep paralysis. But as...

What begins as a simple act of kindness becomes a lifelong calling.

For Rosy Page, it started on an ordinary night out — until she spotted a young man standing alone in a cemetery, blood streaming from a wound on his head. Slamming on the brakes, she ran to help… only to watch him vanish into thin air. That single encounter opened a door Rosy could never close.

From that night on, Rosy became a magnet for the other side — the one the dead seem to see...

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 m...

It started as nothing more than a late-'90s adventure. After finding an old website listing haunted locations around California, three teenagers hopped on their bikes to explore a historic ranch rumored to be haunted. Like most kids their age, they spent the evening daring each other, swapping ghost stories, and looking for something—anything—that might prove the legends were true.

Then, just as one of them decided to fake a paranormal moment by tossing a rock into the bushes, something unexpected happened first.

What followed lasted only a few moments, but decades later he s...

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...

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...

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 Ja...

For nearly three years, she loved living in her apartment. It felt safe, comfortable, and completely ordinary. Then she got engaged, started planning a wedding, and began packing for a move into her new home. That's when everything changed.

It started with small things that were easy to dismiss, but the closer moving day came, the more difficult those explanations became. Soon it wasn't just her experiencing the strange activity. Her mother, sister, and even her fiancé witnessed things they couldn't explain, leaving them all wondering why the apartment had suddenly become so active.

He never believed ghost tours were anything more than good storytelling.

When he and his wife signed up for one during a weekend getaway, they expected an evening filled with local history, old legends, and maybe a few laughs before heading back to their hotel. Instead, one strange moment inside a centuries-old jail left him with a feeling he couldn't quite explain.

He put it out of his mind.

Until, nearly a week after returning home, someone began walking the hallway outside their bedroom.

The footsteps always followed the same path...

In the quiet town of Ione, California, a fortress of red stone looms over the landscape — a place where hope once turned into horror. Preston Castle, opened in 1894 as a reformatory for troubled youth, quickly gained a darker reputation. Behind its towering walls, countless young men endured harsh punishment, despair, and untimely deaths. Today, it stands as one of the most haunted locations on the West Coast.

They knew exactly what it sounded like when her father came home at night. The old front door had a distinctive creak, the weather stripping made a familiar scraping sound, and his nightly routine never really changed. So when she and a friend heard someone come through the front door just before midnight, they didn't think twice.

The problem was... her father never came home.

What followed left both of them questioning who—or what—they had heard enter the house that night. More than fifty years later, they still talk about it, and neither of t...

Throughout a career that produced more than 50 books, she explored nearly every corner of the unexplained—from hauntings and dreams to UFOs, Bigfoot, and life after death. But Rosemary wasn't interested in chasing sensational stories. She wanted to understand why these experiences happen and what they might reveal about the world beyond our own.

For fifteen years, he had a practical answer for just about everything. Old buildings creak. Pipes make noise. Floors settle. Strange sounds almost always have a simple explanation.

But there was one apartment he could never quite figure out.

Tenants in Apartment 12 never seemed to stay as long as everyone else. Every so often someone mentioned footsteps, doors opening on their own, or a feeling they couldn't explain. He dismissed it all as part of living in a building that was nearly a century old.

Then one afternoon, while preparing the apartment for...

When progress plows through the past, the past doesn’t always stay buried. We dig into real cases where construction crews, developers, and “quick fixes” on old cemeteries stirred up something far worse than bad PR. From phantom foremen and midnight apparitions to tools that won’t stay put and businesses that can’t keep the lights on, disturbing the dead comes with a bill—payable in hauntings.

Most haunted house stories are about people trying to escape whatever is lurking inside. This one is different.

After renting a house that had sat empty for years, a family began noticing small, unexplained things. Rooms would suddenly fill with the scent of lilacs. Their cats acted as though someone invisible was stopping to pet them. Keys and other everyday items occasionally disappeared, only to turn up again in unexpected places. Eventually they learned the previous owner—a woman known for living alone with her cats—had died peacefully in the home.

Over time, the fami...

Before The Exorcist terrified the world, there was a real boy — and a true story that shook both the Church and the nation. His name was Roland Doe, and what began as strange noises and mysterious scratches quickly spiraled into one of the most disturbing possession cases ever recorded. The walls whispered. The marks on his body formed words. And as his behavior turned darker and more violent, desperate family members turned to priests for help — leading to a series of harrowing exorcisms that inspired one of the most...

After years of delivering mail on the same quiet country roads, very little surprised her anymore. She knew every curve, every mailbox, and every dangerous intersection by heart.

Then one foggy October morning, she stopped to let an older man cross the road... and watched him slowly disappear before reaching the other side.

She convinced herself it had been a trick of the fog.

Until, one year later, the very same man appeared at the very same intersection and made the very same impossible walk.

Some roads have accidents. Some have...

Not every haunting is born from tragedy — some come from pure love of the stage. Built in the 1870s, the Rohs Opera House has seen laughter, heartbreak, and curtain calls for nearly a century and a half. Once destined for demolition, the historic theater was saved by the people of Cynthiana, Kentucky, who couldn’t bear to lose its charm — or its spirits.

Years after serving together in the military, the loss of a close friend to suicide remained one of the most painful chapters of his life. Time moved on. He got married, started a new chapter, and tried to leave some of those difficult memories in the past.

Then one night, something happened that brought them rushing back.

As he walked into his bedroom, his sleeping wife suddenly sat upright and spoke a message that made his blood run cold. The words were clear, specific, and referenced people and memories she had no reason to know...

When Hunter and Jenny Scott bought their dream home in Rockford, Alabama, they thought they were starting a new chapter — until the house started writing one of its own. Shadow figures emerged from dark corners, unseen forces lashed out, and a violent history began to reveal itself piece by chilling piece. This wasn’t just another haunting — it was personal.

As paranormal activity escalated, even Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, became intrigued by the home’s murderous past. What had happened within its walls th...

Volunteer firefighters spend years learning to trust one another. In dangerous situations, that trust can mean the difference between going home... or not.

For one firefighter, that lesson came from a quiet veteran named Keith. He wasn't the loudest voice in the station or the officer giving orders. He was simply the man who always looked out for everyone else, making one last pass before every call to check a loose strap, tighten a buckle, or catch the small mistake someone else had missed.

Years after Keith's sudden death, a routine house fire nearly turned...

It started as an ordinary morning run on a foggy Missouri road.

Then she passed an old tree and was suddenly overwhelmed by a crushing grief that seemed to come from nowhere. The emotion was so powerful that it stopped her in her tracks, leaving her sitting beneath the tree in tears and unable to understand why.

The explanation came later.

When she told her grandparents what had happened, they revealed a dark history tied to the tree—one marked by hatred, violence, and tragedy. Suddenly, the experience felt far more unsettling than a...
