Advertise on podcast: I Talk To Ghosts

Pull up a chair in the Spirit Parlour and let's explore the three spooky icons of human fears: the vampire, the werewolf, and the ghost. We'll trace the folklore and beliefs behind each one, from ancient Mesopotamia and Rome to the villages of the Balkans and the forests of medieval France, then shed light on real documented accounts, including official military reports, court testimony, and letters written by the people who lived through them. Settle in for a candlelit journey through grief, fear, and the stories we tell about the ones who come back.

Settle in and let's have a spooky night! I'm going to share with you five of the most famous haunted houses in the world. From a San Diego home built on the site of a hanging, to an unassuming Kansas house where a young family's nightmare began, to a St. Louis mansion shadowed by a brewing dynasty's grief, to the Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring, and finally to a tiny English cottage where accused witches once awaited trial, we explore the history behind each house and the ghost stories that have followed them for generations. Pull up a chair in the Spirit Parlour and listen closely for footsteps. Content Note: This episode contains brief mentions of child death as well as suicide.

Come with me as I take you on a candlelit walk through Salem, Massachusetts, the Witch City, where the tragedy of 1692 left behind far more than history. The accused were almost certainly not witches, but the ghost stories that grew up around them may very well be true. From the scent of phantom apples to a sheriff buried in his own cellar, we visit seven of Salem's most haunted places, ending at the rocky ledge where nineteen innocent people were hanged. After the spooky, linger near to see if tonight's Message from the Spirits is for you. Support the podcast for spooky extras and an ad-free listening experience on my Patreon.

Tonight's episode counts down five haunted asylums from around the world, chosen not because they are well known, but for the spookiness of their stories.
