The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

On this episode, we dig into a childhood encounter that blurs the line between grief and the paranormal. What starts as a tender neighborly bond takes an unexpected turn after a sudden death. A young boy’s evening ritual—shouting “Goodnight!” to a beloved elderly neighbor—continues even after that neighbor is buried. What follows is not a tale of fear, but of warmth, love, and the lingering presence of someone who wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the eerie legacy of John Kavanagh’s—better known as "The Gravediggers"—in Glasnevin, Ireland. This legendary pub, nestled beside one of Ireland’s largest cemeteries, carries not only the scent of history but also chilling whispers of the otherworldly. From spectral figures who sip a silent pint to the lingering chill of unseen presences, we unravel the chilling tales that have haunted Kavanagh’s for generations. Join us as we explore why the walls of this centuries-old pub may hold more than just memories. Are the spirits of long-dead gravediggers still clocking out for a pint—or is it all just the tricks of a suggestible mind in a place heavy with history?

A crackling fire, some wine, and a chill night with friends—what could go wrong? In this eerie episode, a backyard hangout in small-town Ohio turns into something far stranger when something charges a teen through the darkness. And whatever it was? It wasn’t human. It wasn’t animal. And it definitely wasn’t friendly. From a twisting tree to a terrified German shepherd, this one sticks with you. Could it have been a cryptid? Bigfoot? Or something else entirely?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In 1900, there were just 34 sanatoriums in the U.S.—by 1925, there were over 500. Among them was the Cresson Sanatorium, tucked into the misty mountains of Pennsylvania. Originally built to fight the deadly spread of tuberculosis, it later housed the mentally ill... and eventually transformed into a state prison. But while the purpose of the building changed, one thing never did: people entered and never came out. Today, Cresson is a chilling relic of its past lives, haunted by spirits from every dark chapter—patients, prisoners, and those forgotten by history. On this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the paranormal echoes of this once-isolated institution with Lindsey Rogers, lead investigator for public overnight ghost hunts on the grounds of the Cresson Sanatorium and Prison. This is Part Two of our conversation.

In Trinway, Ohio, sits the stately Prospect Place Estate—a 29-room mansion built in 1856 by abolitionist George Willison Adams. While originally constructed as a symbol of freedom and progress, today Prospect Place stands as one of Ohio’s most haunted locations. Amy Green of the G.W. Adams Educational Center shares the fascinating—and chilling—history of the estate, from its role in the Underground Railroad to the whispers of lingering spirits. Visitors report everything from shadow figures, disembodied voices, and ghostly laughter, to the lingering scent of cigar smoke from the parlor where George Adams himself is still said to roam. Could the ghost of a bounty hunter still haunt the barn? And who is the little girl seen wandering the servants’ quarters? Whether you come for the history or the haunts, one thing’s for certain: Prospect Place leaves a lasting impression—on the living and the dead.

On this episode, we dig into a chilling case of spiritual collision and unexpected alliance. A woman haunted by unexplained shaking, growling sounds, and nightly disturbances reaches out to an old guardian spirit—only to discover she’s not the only one watching. What appeared to be a classic haunting takes a sharp turn when a new entity arrives, one with the playful energy of a child and the dark history of something far more ancient. As the line between guardian and intruder blurs, our witness must decide who to trust: an impulsive protector or a self-proclaimed demon who thrives on chaos. We follow the descent into an uneasy truce with a supernatural force that calls itself Sin, exploring how far someone will go to maintain peace in a house that refuses to rest.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the chilling past of Cockatoo Island, a place where history and mystery collide. Once a brutal convict prison, later a grim industrial school, and eventually a wartime shipyard, the island holds layer upon layer of human suffering. Visitors today report eerie encounters with unseen forces, chilling cold spots, and shadowy apparitions tied to the island’s long and haunted past.

After losing her seven-year-old son in a tragic accident, one grieving mother found herself doing the only thing she could—speaking to his pictures, hoping he could somehow hear her. Six months later, she got an answer. Not in a dream. Not in a whisper. But through a stranger—a medium who knew things no one else possibly could. His favorite toy. His swimming awards. The way they said “I love you.” In this emotional episode, we hear how one child, even in death, found a way to remind his mom: “It’s not your fault. I’m okay.” Sometimes love really is infinity times infinity. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Haunted Exchange Hotel in Fort Mifflin, PA, is home to many spirits. Originally constructed as an opulent hotel along the rail line, it would soon find its rooms converted into a triage center. More than 70,000 soldiers would pass through the rooms of the Exchange Hotel during the war. Roughly 1% would take their last breath at the Exchange Hotel. This means that nearly 700 soldiers would die at the Exchange Hotel. After the war, it was converted back into a hotel. A hotel that would almost immediately begin being known as a haunted location. Murder, suicide, and other dark events would grace its steps before eventually being shuttered in 1970. This is Part Two of the story of the Haunted Exchange Hotel, shared by Kristy Summer of Soul Sisters Paranormal.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Is the paranormal world exclusive to humans, or do other beings also experience strange phenomena? Joe De Hoyos certainly never expected to find himself living in a haunted house, but that’s exactly what happened. Years after his childhood fascination with the paranormal, Joe moved into a home where the unsettling activity seemed to be tied to the emotional and energetic state of his family. Joe shares the chilling experiences he and his loved ones had, raising the question: is there something more to hauntings than just human presence? Was the house itself influenced by the moods of those who lived in it? This is a story that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about spirits and the energies they leave behind.

On this episode, we dig into the chilling story of a teenage girl whose home appears to be inhabited by more than just memory. It starts with familiar comfort—the spirit of a beloved cat, the echo of a dog long passed. But as shadows stretch and fear deepens, her world turns upside down with the arrival of something far more dangerous. A mysterious figure tied to her sister’s past at Elder Pond, a hallway that turns darker than night itself, and a force possibly created from human stress and pain—it’s a case filled with emotional weight and lingering questions. Is this a house filled with spirits, or is one among them something far worse?

In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the haunted history of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, which is one of America's most blood-soaked and paranormally active small towns. From the bloody conflict of John Brown’s rebellion to Civil War devastation, Harpers Ferry has been steeped in trauma, death, and inexplicable phenomena for over two centuries. We’ll uncover the town’s chilling legends, hear about encounters with ghostly soldiers and shadowy figures, and examine the theories behind the area’s eerie reputation. Is Harpers Ferry truly a portal for the restless dead—or is something even stranger at work beneath the surface?

She doesn’t knock. She bursts through the front door like she’s been here a thousand times before—rushing upstairs, only to vanish halfway up. Six members of the same family witnessed her, but none could explain who she was or why she came. But this isn’t a ghost in a Victorian gown—this spirit was in a t-shirt and high-waisted shorts, like she stepped out of the late '90s. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! From the time he was a child, Kevin Schmitz knew his world was different. Whether it was the glowing blue figure of his grandmother appearing in the dead of night or the unsettling energy of the haunted house he moved into as a teen, Kevin’s life has always been shadowed by the paranormal.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When Roger and Carolyn Perron moved their five daughters onto a sprawling 200‑acre Rhode Island farm in 1970, the previous owner offered only one piece of advice: “Leave the lights on at night.” What followed became one of the most chilling real‑life hauntings ever recorded—later inspiring the blockbuster film The Conjuring. For nearly ten years the Perrons shared their home with entities from every fold of time: mournful children, unseen hands, and the vengeful spirit the family came to call “Bathsheba.” Doors slammed, beds levitated, and history itself seemed to bleed through the walls. In this episode, Andrea Perron—eldest daughter and author of House of Darkness | House of Light—recounts the true events the movie only hinted at: the séances, the midnight battles for control of a mother’s soul, and the moment they finally realized the dead were not leaving. Join us as we step inside the old Arnold Estate—lights on—and discover what it means to “live among the dead.” Become a Premium Supporter of The Grave Talks Through Apple Podcasts or Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) There, you will get: Access to every episode of our show, AD-FREE!Access to every episode of our show before everyone else!Other EXCLUSIVE supporter perks and more!

On this episode, we dig into the story of a young girl who spent her teenage years haunted by something, or someone, lurking in the attic of a quiet Pennsylvania home. Strange footsteps, invisible hands, and objects that moved on their own. She was the only one who noticed. The only one who believed it was real. But was this a case of heightened sensitivity—or a haunting that chose one voice to be heard through? From shaking beds to vanishing objects, we explore the terrifying line between psychological isolation and genuine paranormal activity. Something followed her through the years… and it may still be listening.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the Omni Grove Park Inn’s fascinating history—from its 1913 construction by pharmacist turned developer Edwin Wiley Grove to its role as a wartime internment site and presidential retreat. Alongside tales of Hollywood glamour and undercover Supreme Court evacuation plans, he uncovers the origins of the Pink Lady—an enigmatic figure whose tragic demise on a fifth-floor balcony gave birth to a century of ghost stories.
