4.2 out of 5 stars from 4.7k ratings
  • Hosts chit chat too much

    The actual ghost story’s are what we want to hear. Your talking to one another is not what we want to hear. The show is not about you.

  • Please go back to old format

    Been listening to your show since 2014 but stopped listening when you started releasing the stories individually. It’s just a terrible format. It is so hard to listen to. You used to be one of the best. Please go back to compilation episodes like you had in 2014 pleeeeeaaaassee

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Haunted Legacy of a Home, Part Two | The Grave Talks
Q: What is it that you think the spirits there want?
The guest suggests that at least one entity may want to deter people from the land, indicating a protective or warning motive rather than simple malevolence.
The Cabin on 360, Part Two | The Grave Talks
Q: How long have you been investigating at The Cabin on 360, and how did your approach evolve?
We started in 2016 and gradually opened up to other teams after realizing they were also experiencing activity, which led us to public investigations and fundraisers to support causes.
Ghosts Behind Bars: Kentucky State Penitentiary, Part One | The Grave Talks
Q: How did your firsthand experiences begin, and what was your first major paranormal moment inside the penitentiary?
My first major moment was an on-site encounter seen on a control center camera: a bright, pulsing glow that moved and interacted with the camera before fading, followed by colleagues corroborating similar observations from different shifts.
Ghosts Behind Bars: Kentucky State Penitentiary, Part One | The Grave Talks
Q: Before you started working there, had you heard rumblings or were there rumors of it being haunted that you were aware of?
Yes, there were stories and a sense that the place had a heavy presence; over time, after interacting with coworkers, I began to verify and document experiences that suggested more than just superstition.
The Ghost Tour Stopped—The Haunting Didn't | Real Ghost Stories CLASSIC
Q: Would you get a house that was on a ghost tour if it was the right place?
The guest suggested that the history and potential charm could be appealing, but the reality of living with hauntings—especially in a working office—might outweigh any upside for some people, as reflected by the hosts' tentative reactions.
