This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When June Matthews found a charming fixer-upper just north of Spokane in 2010, it felt like the dream starter home—until she stepped into the basement. A heavy silence, an icy draft, and an inexplicable sense of being watched were the only flaws she could find, and she brushed them off as an overactive imagination. But within weeks of moving in, lights began to flicker, footsteps echoed where no one walked, and the basement door refused to stay closed. June never believed in the paranormal—until the house insisted she change her mind. Was this merely a creaky old home, or the beginning of a haunting in Washington?

Sarah thought moving into a new home would bring peace, but it quickly became a place where the line between imagination and reality began to blur. Her first encounter is strangely comforting—a visit from her grandmother’s spirit, just days after her passing. But as the peaceful visits fade, darker presences take her place, entities that learn Sarah’s deepest fears and play them like a game. The house becomes a stage for terrifying encounters—shadow figures that swirl above her bed, heavy footsteps that climb stairs in the dead of night, and a creature that claws its way across the roof, defying all logic. As the years pass, Sarah’s attempts to escape the terror only deepen her connection to the paranormal forces that seem determined to keep her under their control. What begins as a peaceful farewell turns into a lifetime of unanswered questions, forcing Sarah to confront whether she’ll ever be free of the haunting presences that have taken root in her life.

What happens when land scarred by centuries of cruelty refuses to stay silent? Welcome to Holiday Woods, Indiana—once Native ground, later stained by lynchings at the infamous “Hangman’s Bridge,” and now a decaying campground-turned-meth haven. Don’s remodeled cottage sits atop this spiritual fault line, where a Harley bandana wakes an unseen biker, crawl-space portals throb with pounding fists, and a procession of black-clad figures gathers at a salt-sealed fence they cannot cross. From spectral children to a nightmarish half-man, half-caterpillar crawling the perimeter, the evil here never rests… it only waits for the next soul brave enough to move in.

Marie thought she was simply moving in with her boyfriend and his housemates. But soon, her cat, Chaos, began acting strangely, refusing to enter a specific bedroom and avoiding parts of the house altogether.

What began as a routine academic trip quickly spiraled into a series of unexplained and terrifying events.
