Some houses possess an undeniable aura of haunting. Whether it's rooted in their history or their spooky appearance, those creepy locations seem ripe for paranormal activity. JD Phillips' didn’t grow up in a house like that. Her childhood home, a modest one-story ranch, didn't outwardly appear haunted. Yet, it was.

She grew up in that seemingly ordinary house, grappling with paranormal activity long before she knew what "paranormal" meant. She never had the luxury of skepticism. She never experienced what it meant to be "normal." Her entire upbringing was entrenched in the eerie reality of living in a haunted house.

Her latest book delves into previously untold stories spanning over four decades of paranormal encounters—from her earliest memories to the present day. These experiences have not only influenced her writing and art but also impacted her health and soul profoundly. 

You can find her book, “My Spooked-Up Life: Growing Up Haunted,” on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Interpreting Nightmares, Part One | Grave Talks CLASSIC

From lethal gas to lethal injection, death loomed large within the walls of the Nevada State Prison, claiming the lives of over 40 of Nevada's most notorious criminals. But amidst the shadows of execution chambers and the whispers of the departed, there lies a darker tale — one of spirits that linger long after their sentences have been served.

Despite its closure in 2012, the Nevada State Prison remains a site of eerie fascination. Chilling reports of paranormal activity persist to this day. From the mess hall to the shower rooms, former staff, inmates, and investigators all report spine-tingling encounters with apparitions and unexplained phenomena. 

Today, Part Two of our conversation about the hauntings of the Nevada State Prison, a conversation with Susan Bernard.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Bryan Meisinger grew up with many fond memories of visiting his grandmother… in her haunted house.

These shared experiences with Bryan drove him to investigate the paranormal later in life. This is Part Two of his story on The Grave Talks.

Reaching the Dead, Part One | Grave Talks CLASSIC

We've all heard those stories passed down; maybe it’s a vanishing hitchhiker story, a ghost that haunts a cemetery. Maybe it’s something more nefarious, like a monster that people have reportedly seen in a nearby forest or swamp. We've all shared those stories, but do we really know the truth? Do we really know what goes bump in the night? Do we really want to? What is the truth behind those spooky legends?

In this episode, a conversation about "Urban Legends, Ghost Stories and Folklore," a book by Micah Campbell. This is Part Two of our conversation.

House of Evil, Part One | Grave Talks CLASSIC

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

In his new book, "One Night in Salem: The Hidden History of the American Witch," Troy Taylor takes us back to when "witchcraft" came to America with the first European settlers. They had fled at a time when thousands were being accused, tortured, hanged, and burned for being witches. They arrived in America looking for a fresh start and brought that fear of witches with them.

That fear and dread became hysteria when evil came to Salem Village, fueling hostility, distrust, and religious fanaticism that claimed the lives of innocent people on the gallows. But Salem was not the end of America's obsession with witchcraft. In this episode, we look into the hidden history of the American witch and how it continues today. This is Part Two of our conversation.

About our guest:   Troy Taylor is a supernatural historian, murder buff, and the author of around 140 books on ghosts, hauntings, history, crime, and the unexplained in America. He is also the founder of American Hauntings. Find more information about Troy, his books, ghost tours, hunts, and more at his website americanhauntingsink.com
