The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

After years of paranormal encounters in their youth, the narrator makes a conscious decision to close themselves off from the spiritual world, becoming a self-described “ghost-repellent.” Wherever they go, spiritual activity seems to vanish—until they find a charming house for rent that refuses to stay quiet. On move-in day, the house immediately makes its presence known, calling the narrator’s name and opening the back door repeatedly. But when the narrator calmly sets boundaries with the spirit, the disturbances cease—except for one chilling moment when a baking pan flies across the kitchen. With no intention of investigating further, the narrator accepts the silent coexistence, believing that sometimes, the best way to handle a haunting is to acknowledge it without fear.

A first-time ghost hunt at the infamous Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum turned into something unforgettable. What began with flashlights flickering and a growl caught on EVP quickly escalated on the fourth floor, a space heavy with dark energy.

Who is Joker, and what power does he hold over that building? With direct physical contact, intelligent communication, and disturbing EVPs that included “I will find you” and “I’m guilty,” this night proved that some spirits don’t just haunt—they attack.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Graestone Manor Bed and Breakfast is a beautifully preserved Victorian mansion along the Erie Canal in Royalton, New York. Nestled in the quiet town of Gasport, this manor is a gem on the Niagara Wine Trail. Silas Newcomb, settled the property in 1833, planting apple and pear trees that still bear fruit today. Over the decades, the estate changed hands—from Silas’s son Albert to neighbors Horace and Harriet Chapin and then to Curtis Root in 1865. Root, a racehorse enthusiast, left a lasting legacy with his racetrack and the famed racehorse Hamiltonian. But beneath its historical facade, Graestone Manor harbors a world of the supernatural. Visitors have reported the sound of heated arguments, the echo of ghostly horse hooves, and the chilling sight of a woman's apparition at the window. Whispers of a mysterious vortex in the basement and shadowy figures wandering the halls add to the eerie atmosphere. And what is it like to be a psychic medium living in this historic manor? And why are the former owners’ spirits excited about Heather and her husband living in the home? This is Part Two of our conversation.
