Welcome to another classic haunted house story. In this episode, we recount the experience of Cindy Sarro and her home in Caseyville, Illinois, where a dark presence began to assert itself, driving her from the house in just two months. Then we travel to south-central Indiana and the historic Whispers Estate. There’s a lot of legend surrounding the former doctor’s office and home of Dr. John Gibbons and his family. Visitors report unexplained footsteps, physical scratches, and a looming shadow figure known simply as Big Black. Listen closely—some houses don’t stay quiet.

Some say first responders have seen everything—but did you ever imagine that “everything” might include the paranormal? In this episode, we delve into the eerie encounters of paramedics and police who have faced more than emergencies in the line of duty. Hear the spine-tingling account of a rookie paramedic haunted by ghostly children, and discover what happens when the dead themselves dial 911. Relive the unnerving moment when seasoned officers come face-to-face with an Ontario poltergeist and learn about an entire town left stunned as a UFO hovered overhead for more than an hour. These unsettling stories—and more—await you in this week’s episode.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Film vs. Fact episode for The Conjuring: Last Rites. This time we’ll examine the real story behind the film, weighing the film’s most unsettling moments against eyewitness accounts and the Warrens’ own claims. What really happened at the Chase Street duplex in 1986—and what details were softened, altered, or left out entirely? For one, the alleged haunting occurred longer than the film suggests. What else did the film get wrong?

In this episode, we step inside the shadows of some of the most haunted churches where faith endures, but so do the spirits who refuse to let go. We begin in rural Indiana, at a small chapel where visitors report being pursued by the dark silhouette of a man who appears only long enough to send them fleeing into the night. From there, we travel to a historic Chicago parish shaken by sightings of shrouded monks who drift through between pews, terrifying more than a dozen parishioners in a single weekend. Our journey continues north to Montreal’s famed oratory, where the preserved heart of a revered saint may be binding his presence to the grounds. We’ll also stop at an Iowa college campus chapel, where the tragic death of a young woman left behind unanswered questions, lingering sorrow, and reports of a presence still searching for resolution.

In this episode, we step into locations where the echoes of childhood linger long after the children themselves have vanished. These aren’t stories of monsters or malevolent spirits; they’re the stories of children who have stayed behind in places like a century-old dance hall where tiny desperate hands might tug at your clothing while you sip your drink. There’s a Gettysburg orphanage whose basement echoes with the sobs of children. We’ll visit an abandoned house that seems determined to remember its former occupant. And join us at a once-joyful West Coast amusement park where the laughter on the carousel hasn’t faded. Sit back, dim the lights, and enjoy these chilling stories and more.

In this episode, we follow the trail of the Grey Lady across time and continent, piecing together accounts, archival whispers, and the strange common thread that binds her to the living. We find her in libraries, castles, and hotels. Her presence drifts across centuries and oceans, from a palace in Britain to the echoing corridors of an American high school. Witnesses speak of a woman in pale mourning silk, her features blurred as if the air itself resists remembering her. But who was she? A grieving mother, a betrayed lover, or something else — a pattern repeating itself wherever sorrow takes root? And yet, not all ladies are grey, even if their stories are no less tragic. We’ll visit the story of a pair of blue ladies, a red lady, a purple lady, and a famous brown lady. There seems to be no shortage of grey lady stories. While some stories fade, hers refuses to die.
