When Jerry moved into a quiet lake cabin in Central Texas, he expected peaceful solitude, not whispers in the dark. But after filling his home with antique finds from local thrift shops, strange things began to happen. From the sound of water pouring into a long-forgotten washbasin to a disembodied voice whispering inches from his ear, Jerry soon realized that some secondhand items come with more than just history.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

For decades, death was an unavoidable presence inside Nevada State Prison.

From executions carried out by lethal gas and lethal injection to the daily realities faced by inmates and staff, the prison became a place where final moments were witnessed again and again. Though the facility officially closed in 2012, many believe its story didn’t end there.

Some moments stay with you not because they were frightening—but because they felt certain. In the quiet hours of the night, when the world is supposed to be asleep, something familiar appears at the foot of an eight-year-old girl’s bed. It looks like her grandfather. It sounds like her grandfather. And it speaks with the kind of calm authority that only someone you trust completely could have. There’s comfort in the visit, bu...

From her grandmother to her mother — and finally to her — the same quiet awareness followed them through life. Not visions. Not voices demanding attention. Just the certainty that something has entered the room… or that something is about to end.

She feels it before accidents. Before deaths. Before final conversations that no one else realizes are goodbye. The knowing comes without permission — and without control.

Carla doesn’t call herself “sensitive”—not anymore. But when she was little, living on a hill in Bermuda, she had the same dream over and over: stepping outside at night, trying to climb down an embankment… and feeling the earth open up, like it wanted to swallow her.

Years later, the fear didn’t disappear—it evolved. A suicide-tainted house in Palm Springs. A cup sliding across a counter on its own. A constant sense ...

It started quietly—just voices in the dark. Low, indistinct murmurs coming from the corner of a high school bedroom in a house that was barely eight years old. At first, he convinced himself it was stress, imagination, a tired mind filling in the silence. But the voices kept coming. Night after night. Two of them. And they felt like they were talking about him.

Everything changed the night someone else heard them too....

This isn’t a movie script. This is a true story from a former college student who found himself at the center of a chilling haunting in a small off-campus rental. At first, it seemed harmless — a few restless nights, some nervous laughs, and a strange habit of waking at exactly 2:47. But then came the humming.

It started softly, drifting through the living room, almost like a woman’s voice carried on the air. But nigh...

Some places don’t announce their past—you feel it instead. A subtle shift in the air. A sense that you’re being watched long before anything actually happens. That’s exactly what greeted her during a stay at a historic hotel known more for its charm than its comfort. At first, it was just an uneasy feeling, the kind you brush off when traveling somewhere unfamiliar. But as the night wore on, that quiet discomfort gave way to m...

Some children talk to imaginary friends. She talked to a man who didn’t exist for anyone else.

At five years old, she pointed to empty space in a crowded living room and calmly explained she could see through him. No one laughed. No one played along. The room went silent — and something changed.

Years later, after a sudden death in the family, the presence returned with force. Closet doors slammed. Air rushed...

Kenneth didn’t believe the house was haunted—at least not at first. The place was temporary, under renovation, and far from ideal, but he was caught up in the excitement of a new relationship. Still, the moment he stepped inside, something felt wrong. The air felt heavier. The mood shifted.

Late one night, as the house fell silent, the ceiling fan began to move on its own—slowly, unnaturally—despite being turned off. ...

She’d grown up on the farm and she’d always felt like the land had… something on it. But in 2020, living there again—pregnant, raising a toddler, trying to keep life normal—those old feelings stopped being background noise and started showing up right in front of her.

It began with a face she couldn’t stop seeing in the house: a little boy, pale as paper, with eyes that didn’t look right. Her daughter started spending...

Living next to a cemetery sounds like something out of a gothic novel, the kind of detail you casually mention without thinking much of it. Until one night, when the boundary between the living and the dead feels uncomfortably thin. A figure appears where no one should be standing, framed by headstones and shadows, lingering just long enough to raise questions that don’t go away with daylight.

Buying your first house while pregnant sounds like a fairytale beginning, right? Add a toddler to the mix, a house that was literally moved from downtown in the 1950s, and a ghost child who refuses to respect boundaries—or linen closets—and you’ve got yourself a paranormal parenting nightmare. From phantom footsteps and blanket battles to misty hallway encounters and a little girl in a pinafore who’s not enrolled in kindergart...

Some people are born into ordinary places. She was born inside a working funeral home.

This true story begins in the basement of a Cleveland funeral home—where bodies were prepared for burial and grief was part of daily life. Just hours before her birth, the body of a young man killed in a car accident was brought into the same space. Birth and death shared the room. And something noticed.

As a child, she lau...

Jordan kept an old touch lamp on a high shelf for years—more out of habit than anything else. It was a small gift from a grandfather, the kind of thing that quietly becomes part of a room and eventually part of a life. Most nights it sat unused, collecting dust beside a framed photo.

Then, one night, after the bedroom door closed and the house went still, the lamp turned on by itself.

No one had touched it. N...

A lifelong sensitive from Jersey thought a Savannah ghost tour would be the usual kind of thrill—history, atmosphere, maybe a chill or two. But inside a plantation property with a brutal past, something shifts fast. In the basement, she starts hearing her brother’s voice turning cruel and vicious… except he swears he never said a word. The deeper they go, the stronger the pressure becomes—rage, dread, a sudden emotional takeov...

Some people grow up believing haunted houses are the problem. Others eventually realize something far more unsettling — the activity follows them.

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
