Homespun Haints: True Ghost Stories
True ghost stories are scarier (and funnier) when you hear them from the real people who experienced them. We’re Becky and Diana, and we interview people who have seen ghosts--so you can feel their fear with them. Each episode features true, personal stories of ghosts, demons, haints, hauntings, haunted houses, and paranormal experiences, sprinkled with humorous conversations about the random strange events in our own haunted lives.

What if face-planting onto a tile floor from three feet up turned out to be the most transformative moment of your life? For Jen Mitchell Love, a family law attorney with 19 years of experience, that's exactly what happened during what should have been a routine (albeit admittedly ill-advised) breathwork session in a steam room.
Upon regaining consciousness with blood pooling around her, Jen received a visit from her ...
Doll historian and witch Heather Green unpacks the mysterious world of haunted dolls, explaining how they function as portals for spirits rather than becoming possessed objects themselves. She draws on her extensive knowledge of doll history and the occult to help us distinguish between "inspirited" dolls that have absorbed energy over time, and "ensouled" dolls that serve as anchors for specific spirits.
Three knocks in the night. A wailing cry. A figure in white seen from the corner of your eye. Across cultures, these omens carry the same chilling message—someone will soon die.
In this captivating exploration of supernatural death harbingers, folklorist and author Steven J. Rolfes takes us deep into the mysterious world of banshees and their counterparts across different cultures. With his book Beware the Banshee's C...
What happens when an astrologer's meditation on birth charts opens unexpected doorways to the spirit realm? Susan Reynolds never planned to communicate with the dead—in fact, she was once so terrified of ghosts that she would leave the room if anyone mentioned them. Yet over her 40-year journey as an astrologer, the veil between worlds kept thinning until she could no longer ignore the messages coming through.

The ghosts in the South are different from other ghosts. They’re just a little bit closer to the living, just a little more noticeable, and just a little more up in your business.
And if you’re looking for ways to bring echoes of the South into your spooky practice, the decks by Stacey Williams-Ng may be just the right gateway to peruse. Not only do her cards connect in a visceral way with the history of the South, but she...

The cameras are rolling, and the medium on the television screen begins to speak. The things she hears, sees, and knows, they can’t possibly be real, right? Surely, it’s all TV magic. A plant in the audience, a little tip ahead of time, right?
But the man producing the show knows better. He knows that the medium is the real thing. She’s gifted in ways that defy logic; her magic is larger than what the camera can capture.
Nixie was a complete skeptic when she first moved to Key West, Florida. But after working in an ancient museum that used to house the town's morgue, she began to see things she couldn't ignore.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
