A family’s dream of owning a lake house turns into a nightmare when they discover that they’re not the only ones living there. At first, the family chalks up the strange occurrences to the quirks of an old house—creaky floors, cold drafts, and doors that don’t stay shut. But soon, it becomes clear that something else is at play. Ghostly figures appear near the lake at night, cold spots materialize in the warmest parts of the house, and whispers echo through the halls. The most terrifying part? The activity seems to be centered around one member of the family as if the spirit is targeting them specifically. This episode unpacks the terror of being haunted not just by a house but by the land itself. The family is left to wonder if the lake itself holds the key to the haunting or if something darker is trying to take control of their lives.…

What happens when you bring a ghost-hunting app into a funeral home? One listener did just that while accompanying his partner, a funeral director, on late-night calls—and what began as a way to pass the time turned into something far more personal. A name appeared on the screen: Zachary . Then came the word spade as the camera rested on a shovel, followed by disrespectful after bodies were moved. But instead of escalating activity, something strange happened once everyone began acknowledging the spirit. Now Zachary has his own "Employee of the Month" poster—and the funeral home feels... peaceful. For now. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the 1850s, Kansas was a battleground—not just politically, but literally—as pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought for control of the territory. At the heart of this struggle stood the Free State Hotel in Lawrence, Kansas, built in 1855 as a symbol of abolitionist resistance. It was burned to the ground the day it opened. Colonel Shalor Eldridge rebuilt the hotel, determined to see it rise again—and some say he never truly left. The current Eldridge Hotel stands on the same site, with the original 1855 cornerstone embedded in the wall of the famously haunted Room 506. In Part Two of our conversation with historian Dennis Sneed, we dive into the violent roots of the hotel, the eerie activity that continues to this day, and why some believe the spirit of Colonel Eldridge still checks in guests from the beyond.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! History books say the USS Hornet was decommissioned in 1970—yet countless witnesses swear her crew still marches the steel decks. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we set sail (without leaving dock) through hangars that echo with phantom propellers, sick bays where shadow med-techs still make rounds, and officers’ quarters where unseen hands slam hatches shut. Hear first-hand accounts from docents, veterans, and investigators who’ve chased disembodied footsteps into dead-end corridors, captured EVP of frantic battle stations, and seen full-bodied apparitions vanish beneath red emergency lights. Was the Hornet’s combat toll simply too heavy to discharge, or did the proud carrier become a spiritual safe harbor for every soul who called her home?

The darkness holds many secrets, but in this episode, it’s the whispers that are the most terrifying. Late at night, when the house is quiet, the storyteller begins to hear faint whispers—voices that seem to come from the walls themselves. At first, they’re unintelligible, just background noise that could easily be mistaken for the wind. But soon, the whispers become louder, clearer, and more menacing. They call out in the dead of night, sometimes even using the storyteller’s name. The shadows in the house start to move, creeping closer as the whispers grow stronger. This haunting escalates until it feels like the very house is alive with dark energy, intent on tormenting the person living there. Are these just echoes of past residents, or is there something darker trying to communicate through the walls? This episode explores the terrifying reality of being haunted not by ghosts but by the very fabric of the house itself.…

It starts with the sound of footsteps upstairs when no one else is home, the laughter of a child echoing through the empty halls. But when they check, there’s no one there. At first, they try to brush it off as the creaking of an old house, but soon the activity becomes impossible to ignore. The ghostly child doesn’t just want to play; it wants something more. This episode dives into the eerie and unsettling experiences of a family haunted by a child spirit that refuses to stay unseen. Doors slam, toys move on their own, and the presence grows stronger every day. Is it a playful spirit, or is there something darker lurking beneath the surface?
