He doesn’t know when it started — only that it has happened often enough to be undeniable.

Since childhood, he has seen the same figure appear in different places, years apart, without warning. It doesn’t whisper. It doesn’t chase. It doesn’t leave marks or signs. It simply appears — fully formed, impossibly tall, and completely black — before vanishing as if it was never there at all.

The encounters don’t fo...

Rachel had learned how to survive by staying small, staying quiet, and staying busy. In a house perched at the edge of the forest outside a forgotten little Oregon town, the nights could feel endless—especially when the only real escape came through a glowing screen and a familiar podcast playing too loud in the background. But one night, the air changed. Not gradually. Not subtly. All at once—like something had stepped close ...

It started as an ordinary night—one of those moments so routine it barely registers. A father and his son returned home, the house dark and quiet, the kind of silence that feels familiar and safe. But in the seconds that followed, something moved where nothing should have been.

What appeared wasn’t loud. It didn’t announce itself. It didn’t rush or threaten. It simply crossed the house as if it belonged there—followin...

He never believed in ghosts—until one cold afternoon in Oklahoma changed everything.

It started quietly. A Goosebumps book. A Walkman playing in his ears. Nothing unusual about the day at all. Then he looked up—and saw someone standing in the field. Silent. Still. Watching.

At first, he told himself it was nothing. A trick of the light. His imagination. But the figure kept returning. Day after day. Week after...

Is Bigfoot real—or just a legend? Kev LeStarge has spent years chasing that answer. Growing up in Wisconsin, his fascination with the elusive Sasquatch has led him into some of America's most remote forests, and he has experienced encounters that defy easy explanation.

She has always been afraid of the dark — not in a way that fades with age, and not in places where fear can be explained. The darkness that unsettles her feels deliberate, as if it knows where to wait. And nowhere has it ever felt stronger than the house where she grew up.

Even now, decades later, walking through that property at night feels different. The fear doesn’t chase her when she travels. It doesn’t follow her...

After the sudden loss of his grandfather,  life in Gardena, California, felt quieter—but not empty. Late one night, alone in the house, something familiar moved through the kitchen. A shadow. A presence. One that felt unmistakably known.

Years later, grief resurfaced in unexpected ways—through dreams that felt more like visits, through electronics behaving strangely, and through fleeting moments that blurred the line ...

A quiet afternoon nap in Fort Worth turns into something that sticks for life. Two little boys are asleep in a shared room—red metal bunk bed, the kind of childhood setup you forget about until something strange happens inside it. Matthew wakes up with that unmistakable feeling that someone is watching… and there, sitting calmly in a chair by the desk, is a man he’s never seen before. He isn’t threatening. He’s smiling. Almost...

When a teenager cleaning out his grandparents' attic in Connecticut stumbled upon an old Ouija board, he had no idea he was uncovering a dark family legacy. Hidden in a dusty box, the board seemed like a harmless novelty—until his mother saw it. What followed was a moment of uncharacteristic fury and fear. She confiscated it on the spot, refusing to even let it stay in the house.

Only later did she reveal the chilling...

What happens when a writer doesn’t just imagine a haunted place—but chooses to work inside one?

Author Brian Paone spent eight weeks writing his novel These Walls Still Talk inside the Missouri State Penitentiary, one of the most notoriously haunted prisons in America. Working alone at night, surrounded by abandoned cellblocks, execution chambers, and decades of unresolved history, Brian immersed himself completely in...

Some fears don’t arrive with a reason. They don’t announce themselves with shadows or screams. They simply show up one day — and never quite leave.

From his early teens, he carried a deep, unshakable dread of the dark. Not imagination. Not nerves. A feeling that something was closer than it should be. Watching. Waiting. After the loss of his mother, that feeling intensified, bleeding into his sleep, his thoughts, and ...

Before the door was ever opened, before a single box was carried inside, something about this house felt wrong. The closer she got, the harder it became to breathe. Panic rose without warning. Sadness hit like a wave she couldn’t outrun. And when she finally pulled into the driveway, all she wanted to do was leave.

The house itself was charming — an older brick home in a quiet Southern college town. A church sat next ...

A midnight shift in an old hospital is never quiet — even when it’s supposed to be.

Working overnight as an orderly in Akron, Ohio, his job regularly sent him deep into parts of the building most people never saw after dark. Long hallways. Locked doors. Surgical bays meant to stay empty until morning. It was routine work… until it wasn’t.

At first, it was small things. Notes left behind. Accusations that didn...

On a fog-choked stretch outside Modesto, California, a late-night drive turns into something Mark still struggles to explain years later. Visibility was low, conversation was casual, and nothing felt out of place—until a lone figure appeared at an intersection where no one should have been standing. Dressed in outdated clothing and impossibly still, the man seemed to exist outside of time itself.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Since his teenage years, David has been searching for answers—answers that began in a house forever marked by tragedy. As a child, he encountered the spirit of a young girl who perished in a fire on the property, an experience that quietly set the course for the rest of his life. While others moved on, David couldn’t. The questions followed him into adulthood.

It begins as a familiar request: a family hoping for reassurance, a sense of peace, maybe even a final message from someone they loved and lost. What unfolds instead pulls everyone involved into far more unsettling territory. During a late-night investigation, communication attempts drift off course, and a voice breaks through that doesn’t belong to anyone expected—or welcomed.

Fragments of emotion surface. Fear. Urge...

From childhood, she knew something wasn’t right—but it wasn’t tied to a single haunted house. Wherever she went, the activity followed. Shadows moved without a source. Voices whispered in empty rooms. A little girl’s laughter echoed down hallways where no one stood. What began as fear inside a family home slowly became something far more disturbing—a real haunting that reacted to her presence.

She saw apparitions othe...

One listener explains how this show became part of her healing after losing her mom in 2018—then shares an “office horror story” she’ll never forget. While cleaning up at work, a former supervisor casually admits he experiences sleep paralysis… but not in the way most people describe it. In his episodes, he can’t move, and he sees Samara—the girl from The Ring. He says she starts at his feet, pulls herself up his body, gets fa...

In 2002, at just nineteen years old, he rented a cheap room in Oceanside, California—close to the freeway, close to work, and perfect for a swing-shift schedule that ended around 3 a.m. The house seemed normal enough… until one quiet August night.

Sitting alone at the dining table, eating cereal after work, the air suddenly turned ice cold. His ears began to ring. The hallway was dark—except for the light above his he...
