Voices From The Attic

Send us Fan MailIf death is a door, Spiritualism grew from the belief that the living could knock—and something on the other side might knock back.Terri and Andrew explore the strange history of communicating with the dead, from the Fox Sisters and Victorian séances to spirit photography, Harry Price, Borley Rectory, the rise of paranormal investigation, and the Ouija board. Terri also shares a chilling séance experience from her teenage years before the episode returns to the mystery that opened it: Pearl Curran and Patience Worth, the supposed spirit responsible for nearly four million words of writing.There are hoaxes, genuine mysteries, grieving families, skeptics, believers, and more than a few unanswered questions.Because hearing an answer is one thing. Knowing who—or what—answered is something else entirely.New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it take for an ordinary neighbor to become the town witch?Across the Midwest, stories survived of women blamed for strange illnesses, failed crops, unexplained deaths and supposed hexes. In Southern Illinois, crowds gathered to watch two sisters who claimed they had been bewitched. In Cincinnati, children became convinced that an elderly woman reading by candlelight was practicing magic. And in Rochester, Indiana, Irene Ray's reputation became so frightening that residents eventually demanded she be prosecuted for witchcraft.Andrew and Terri explore those stories alongside old Midwestern witch folklore, the complicated history of folk healers and accusations, modern Wicca and contemporary witchcraft, Chicago's extraordinary mail-order occult industry, and the legends that transformed Whitewater, Wisconsin into the so-called “Second Salem.”Because sometimes the strangest part of a witch story isn't the magic.It's how certain everyone becomes that the witch is real.New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

Send us Fan MailSchool buildings are filled with generations of memories, rumors, tragedies—and ghost stories.This week, Terri and Andrew explore haunted schools: a mysterious visitor who had been dead for decades, an Illinois junior high allegedly haunted by a nun, the strange 19th-century saga of Pink Lizzie, apparitions in school theaters, ghost stories passed between generations of students, and a high school built over a cemetery where human remains were eventually uncovered.Along the way, we examine why the same legends keep appearing in schools around the world, where folklore ends and documented history begins, and why an empty school after dark can feel like one of the creepiest places imaginable.Class dismissed.The ghosts may have other plans.New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

A missing freighter sails again through the storms of Lake Superior.Terri shares her own unexplained experience at Whitefish Point—and the discovery that another visitor reported the same strange movement years earlier. From there, Terri and Andrew venture into haunted lighthouses, phantom schooners, the disappearance of the Bannockburn, the science of Fata Morgana mirages, and a sailor’s encounter with three silent men in a boat that should have sunk.They also explore the tragedy of the SS Eastland, reported hauntings later associated with Harpo Studios, and the sound of someone sobbing in the darkness of Lake Michigan.Do the Great Lakes keep their dead—or do some of them keep sailing?New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

Send us Fan MailA massive black dog appears inside a sealed tent, watching a sleeping couple. When the man lunges at it, his fist passes straight through—and the creature vanishes.From the infamous 1577 Black Shuck attacks at Bungay and Blythburgh to modern encounters on lonely roads in England and the United States, Terri and Andrew T. explore the folklore of hellhounds, phantom black dogs, spectral guardians, death omens, and supernatural hounds.Some of these creatures bring terror and destruction. Some appear shortly before a death. Others silently accompany vulnerable travelers through dark woods—and may even save their lives.So what are these mysterious black hounds? Demonic hunters, ghosts, omens, guardians of sacred ground—or several very different supernatural beings that have become tangled together in folklore?This episode examines historical accounts, collected folktales, and reported encounters involving Black Shuck, the Snarly Yow, the inspiration behind The Hound of the Baskervilles, and other enormous dogs said to appear, disappear, and watch from the darkness.Have you ever encountered a dog that seemed impossibly large, vanished without a trace, or appeared to be watching something no one else could see?

Send us Fan MailPull your chair closer to the fire—but pay attention to how many shadows are sitting beside you.In this episode, Terri and Andrew share the kinds of frightening stories that have been told around campfires for generations: classic urban legends, regional ghost stories, Appalachian monsters, Gullah Geechee folklore, haunted railroads, mysterious witches, vengeful spirits, and a collection of two-sentence nightmares.Along the way, they encounter the Dungarvon Whooper, the Taily-Po, a possible Boo Hag, Screaming Jenny, the Chesterville Witch, a disconnected telephone that rings in the darkness, and several reasons never to investigate a strange noise outside your tent.Some stories are frightening. Some are unexpectedly touching.

Send us Fan MailWhat makes an object haunted?Is it a spirit attached to something it once owned? An emotional imprint left by tragedy? A ritual performed with intention? Or can an ordinary object become powerful simply because enough people believe its story?In this episode, Terri and Andrew explore haunted objects and cursed artifacts ranging from a German Mauser seemingly accompanied by a shadowy soldier to the Delhi Purple Sapphire, the Crying Boy paintings, the mysterious Hexham Heads, allegedly haunted items sold online, and a disturbing ritual discovered deep in the Pacific Northwest woods.Some objects appear to remember. Some seem to respond. And some refuse to stay gone.But perhaps the most powerful thing attached to an object is not always a ghost. Sometimes, it is the story.New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

But something about them feels wrong before you even see their eyes.In this episode, we explore the unsettling phenomenon of Black Eyed Kids: strange children and teenagers with completely black eyes who appear at doors, in cars, in offices, in hotels, and on lonely roads, asking to be let inside.We look at the famous Brian Bethel encounter, earlier and lesser-known stories, and accounts from the United States, Europe, and Northern Ireland. Along the way, we ask why these stories so often involve fear, thresholds, invitations, and rules that feel strangely familiar from older folklore.Are they demons, aliens, fae, urban legend, or something else?Whatever the answer is, the warning stays the same: don’t let them in.New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

Send us Fan MailThe Backrooms began as internet horror: endless yellow rooms, damp carpet, fluorescent buzzing, and the terrifying idea that someone could slip out of reality and land somewhere they were never meant to be.But is that fear really new?In this episode, we explore the Backrooms as modern folklore — a digital-age version of much older stories about thin places, fairy mounds, haunted thresholds, time slips, caves, and other worlds hidden just beneath our own. From Gettysburg ghost stories to Saint Patrick’s Purgatory, King Herla, and real cave isolation experiments, we look at why certain places feel wrong, why time seems to bend underground, and why humans have always feared the spaces between worlds.New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.

Reid explore the unsettling phenomenon of mimics—accounts of voices, figures, and presences that imitate something familiar in order to draw people closer.From modern-day encounters to traditional folklore, we examine stories of people who have heard their name called in empty places, seen loved ones where they shouldn’t be, or felt an unshakable pull to follow something just out of sight.Finally, we explore the science behind what we hear—why the human brain is wired to recognize voices, and how easily sound can be misinterpreted in the right environment.Whether rooted in psychology, folklore, or something we don’t fully understand, one idea remains consistent across every story:If something calls you away from safety… you don’t go.Astonishing Legends podcast:https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2018/03/10/ep-101-arcapalooza-part-2Listverse - Doppelgangershttps://listverse.com/2013/08/30/10-disturbing-tales-of-doppelgangers/The Night-Side of Nature; Or, Ghosts and Ghost-Seers by Catherine Crowehttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/54532New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.
