Unknown Georgia: UFOs, Hatman and Ghosts, Part One | Guests Luke Pilgrim and Brad Kennedy Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Some of the most compelling paranormal stories don’t come from investigators. They come from regular people who experienced something they simply couldn’t explain.

That’s at the heart of Unknown Georgia, the latest installment of the UNKNOWN paranormal docuseries from filmmakers Luke Pilgrim and Brad Kennedy of Sozo Bear Films. This time, they travel from Macon to Augusta, uncovering firsthand accounts of UFO sightings, shadow figures, haunted locations, and other unexplained encounters.

They found UFO stories separated by decades, reports of the same shadow figure from people who had never met, and haunted locations where the history may offer clues to what people are still experiencing today.

Why do certain places seem to have so many stories of the unexplained? Could the land itself play a role? And when people who don’t know each other report similar experiences years apart, how easily can those stories be dismissed?

A Lifetime of Encounters, Part One | Grave Talks CLASSIC Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Listeners of Real Ghost Stories Online may already know him as “Eric from Central Illinois.” Over the years, Eric Vogel has shared some unforgettable paranormal experiences with us. But this time, we get to hear the bigger story behind them.

Eric’s experiences with the unexplained began early, including a near-death experience in childhood that helped spark a lifelong fascination with the paranormal. Since then, he’s had encounters ranging from chilling EVPs captured during ghost tours to moments when the presence of something unseen seemed impossible to ignore.

But not everything Eric has experienced has been frightening. Some encounters have been deeply personal, comforting, and even meaningful—experiences that changed the way he thinks about ghosts, death, and what might come after.

What happens when the paranormal isn’t simply something you investigate or enjoy hearing stories about, but something that has been woven throughout your own life?

Was It an Omen—or a Warning? | Real Ghost Stories Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

At twelve years old, he saw a black hand reach from behind a stage at summer camp. Moments later, a towering, cloaked figure wearing what looked like a crown appeared nearby, staring directly at him.

He hoped it was a one-time experience. It wasn’t.

Months later, the same figure appeared at a crowded mall—this time seemingly focused on his father. Then it began appearing in his bedroom, sometimes white, sometimes gray, and finally that same impossible black.

His father died the following year. Since then, he says he has seen the figure again at other times, connected with death.

Was he seeing a shadow person, something resembling the Grim Reaper—or something else entirely?

The Science and Study of the Paranormal, Part Two | Advance CLASSIC Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

Plenty of people are interested in the paranormal. Dylan Jones is interested enough to pursue a PhD in it.

Dylan is studying parapsychology at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, with research focused on modern paranormal groups and the influence media may have on the way they investigate ghosts and hauntings.

For decades, paranormal television, movies, books, and now social media have helped shape our ideas about what a ghost investigation should look like. But have those portrayals also influenced the people actually doing the investigating—the equipment they use, the methods they follow, or even what they expect to find?

And where does parapsychology fit into all of this? What does it mean to study paranormal experiences from an academic perspective, and what can that research tell us about the way we investigate the unexplained?

You can get more information about Dylan at theghosthunter.co.uk or join Dylan and his fiancé, Brigid, on a ghost tour of Savannah. Visit their website at witchinghoursavannah.com.

The Man Who Only Appeared in the Mirror | After Midnight Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

She had been inside the house dozens of times before and never thought there was anything unusual about it.

Then one afternoon, she glanced toward a mirror in the front room and saw a man standing at the bottom of the staircase.

She turned immediately. The stairs were empty.

What made the experience harder to dismiss was that someone else had already described seeing a pale male face in that same mirror months earlier. Later, another person in the house would report seeing what sounded like the same figure.

There were footsteps too, sometimes crossing the upstairs hallway or starting down the stairs when nobody was there. But the footsteps weren’t what stayed with her. It was the man in the mirror.

Because three people saw him—and nobody ever saw him standing on the stairs.

The Dark Explorer, Part Two | Advance CLASSIC Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

Not every paranormal investigation is about a ghost haunting an old house. Sometimes the activity feels darker—and figuring out exactly what you’re dealing with becomes much more complicated.

For more than 27 years, John.John Montelongo has investigated the paranormal and worked with people who believe they’re dealing with something they can’t explain. As founder and lead investigator of Texas-based Dark Explorers Paranormal, he takes on cases involving claims of dark energy, elemental forces, demonic activity, and other entities that may fall well outside the typical idea of a haunting.

For John.John, that connection to the unexplained is also personal. He believes sensitivity to the paranormal has been passed down through generations on both sides of his family, giving him a perspective shaped by a lifetime of unusual experiences.

How do you determine when you’re dealing with something more than a ghost? And when an investigation takes a darker turn, what happens next?

Why Did She Want Him to Stay? | Real Ghost Stories Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Not long after moving into a new rental, her husband began sleepwalking for the first time since childhood.

But he always went to the same place: the spare bedroom.

Night after night, she found him standing beside the bed, staring toward the corner and listening to someone she couldn’t see. More than once, he told her the same thing—a woman wanted him to stay.

Then she heard the woman too. Even more unsettling, their children admitted they had heard her speaking near that room when both parents were downstairs.

Was her husband really sleepwalking—or was something in that room calling him back?

Tragedy and Terror in Chicago, Part Two | Grave Talks CLASSIC Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

Chicago’s history is rich, vibrant—and in some places, deeply tragic.

In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we explore two of the Windy City’s most haunting locations with Tony Szabelski, longtime investigator and tour guide with Chicago Hauntings.

Our journey begins with the devastating legacy of the Iroquois Theater, where more than 600 lives were lost in one of the deadliest theater fires in American history. Though the flames were extinguished long ago, many believe the trauma never fully left—and that the spirits of those lost still linger.

From there, we move to the Congress Plaza Hotel, widely regarded as Chicago’s most haunted hotel. Guests and staff report shadow figures, phantom footsteps, unexplained voices, and encounters that defy reason.

This episode uncovers the sorrow, history, and restless energy still woven into the fabric of Chicago itself.
