Paranormal Peeps

A house you haven’t even bought yet starts chasing you in your dreams and then you walk through the front door and the staircase is the same. That’s where Cindy Sarro’s Caseyville, Illinois nightmare begins, and we follow the trail all the way to the thing she swears lived behind one ordinary wall. We’re Josh, Jamie, and Elisa, and we dig into Cindy’s account from her book The Wall with the details that make this story hit so hard: the girls who refuse their bedroom, the lights that won’t behave, the TV that turns itself on, and the sense of being watched night after night from the same spot. As the haunting escalates, Cindy describes involuntary astral projection followed by invisible beatings, plus apparitions that seem to “try on” different faces: a little boy from another time, a soldier-like man filled with hatred, and an old woman staring back from the mirror. Then comes the moment that still creeps us out to say out loud: a pink smoke cloud pouring from the wall, pulling at the home’s electricity, and moving toward the room where her kids sleep. We also talk through the non-paranormal angles that can’t be ignored in any serious haunted house discussion, including faulty wiring, chronic pain, intense stress, and what sleep deprivation can do to the mind and body. And the danger isn’t only supernatural. Glenn’s behavior turns frightening, culminating in an axe at the door, and Cindy’s attempts to get help bring their own frustration: churches that back away, a priest who questions her sanity, a cleansing that seems to do nothing, and a final decision to sell and escape. If you’re into paranormal stories, demonic haunting lore, and the messy intersection of fear and family life, this one is a ride.

A cemetery that invites you to pack a picnic sounds impossible until you meet Victorian London. We’re heading to Highgate Cemetery, where a public health crisis and a radical new “garden cemetery” idea turned burial grounds into landscaped parks and then, decades later, into the kind of overgrown Gothic maze that practically writes ghost stories for you. We walk through the design choices that make Highgate feel like a built-in underworld, from the sunken Egyptian Avenue to the shadowed Circle of Lebanon and the hillside layout that keeps Victorian class divisions alive even in death. From there we get into the rituals that shaped the era’s relationship with grief. We talk strict mourning phases, the heavy black veils, and the unsettling fact that some mourning fabrics were treated with chemicals that could harm the people wearing them. We dig into memento mori traditions like hair jewelry and post-mortem photography, plus the superstitions that still raise goosebumps: mirrors covered, clocks stopped, bodies carried out feet first, and tomb symbols that speak in code. If you’re into Victorian history, cemetery architecture, and death culture, this is the deep end. Then the haunt reports begin. We compare recurring Highgate sightings: a towering shadow entity tied to cold drops and sudden silence, the “Mad Mother” tearing through the West Cemetery, a Swain’s Lane encounter where something manifests from brickwork and shoves a man flat, and a red-eyed figure at the gates that leaves a driver frozen in place. We also explore the melancholic nun that seems to bend distance itself, and the most beautiful story of all: a concert pianist’s grave where witnesses say sorrowful music rises from beneath the stone grand piano. Subscribe for more paranormal history, share this with a friend who loves haunted places, and leave us a review with your theory: are these imprints, entities, or something stranger?Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.  Check us out on Facebook Paranormal Peeps Podcast or Coldspot Paranormal Research and on Instagram coldspot_paranormal_researchSupport the show

A quiet mansion on 18 acres. An indoor pool in the basement. A string of men who vanish after nights out in Indianapolis. Fox Hollow Farm isn’t just a haunted location people whisper about, it’s the center of a case that still makes your stomach drop once you see how long it took the pieces to connect.We walk through the rise of Herbert R. Baumeister from an outwardly successful husband, father, and business owner to a suspected serial killer tied to disappearances from downtown gay bars in the late 80s and early 90s. We also unpack the survivor story that helped break the case open, the investigation’s dead ends, and the moment police finally gain access to the property only to uncover thousands of human bones and fragments scattered through woods and a creek bed. Along the way, we talk about the brutal reality of early DNA testing costs and how hard it was for families to get answers.Then we shift into the paranormal side that gives Fox Hollow Farm its second reputation. We cover reports from later owners and investigators, why the basement pool and pump room keep coming up, and the theories we hear again and again: residual trauma, a portal connected to water, and the unsettling idea of something darker that mimics Baumeister for its own gain. We also share why we appreciate a grounded approach like Richard Estep’s The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, where debunking matters and “nothing happened” is still part of the truth.Subscribe for more true crime and paranormal history, share this with a friend who loves the dark corners of both worlds, and leave a review with your take: do you think Fox Hollow Farm is haunted by victims, a mimic, or something else entirely?Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.  Check us out on Facebook Paranormal Peeps Podcast or Coldspot Paranormal Research and on Instagram coldspot_paranormal_researchSupport the show

Bourbon history is already full of legends, but the Jim Beam Distillery in Claremont, Kentucky has a set of stories that do not fit on a label. We walk through how the Beam family helps shape American whiskey, why Kentucky’s corn and limestone water matter, and how a working distillery becomes the kind of place where routine, pride, and memory can feel almost tangible in the air.Then we step into the haunted claims tied to three key locations on the property. Warehouse D brings reports of disembodied footsteps and whistling from empty upper levels, a half-seen figure climbing the stairs, and a man in overalls appearing between the barrel racks. Warehouse K shifts the tone with employee accounts of a woman in an old formal dress who seems to hover on the upper floors, plus the unnerving detail of a floral perfume scent cutting through the heavy smell of aging bourbon. We also talk about the T. Jeremiah Beam House, now a museum, where people report upstairs footsteps, window sightings, and the sound of sample glasses sliding when no one is there.We ground all of it with context, including the 2019 lightning strike warehouse fire and the strange way real disasters can reshape the folklore of a place.

A ghost that can copy your face, sit on your porch while you’re miles away, and keep you trapped in a brutal death rattle until you “pass it on” to your kid? That is where our deep dive into Hantu spirits begins, and it only gets stranger from there.We’re Josh, Jamey, and Aleca, and we’re digging into Malaysian and Indonesian paranormal folklore where “Hantu” is a broad category for spirits, ghosts, and demons. We talk through the Hantu Raya contract and the idea of a familiar that demands offerings for protection, plus the chilling inheritance angle that turns a haunting into a family problem. Then we move into Pontianak lore, a terrifying figure tied to childbirth fears, roadside encounters, and the disturbing iron nail legend that claims she can be forced into human form.From there, we hit the Pocong, the shroud-bound ghost that hops or glides through the night, and the Penanggalan, a witch whose head detaches and flies with glowing organs, hunted with thorns, chilies, and the smell of vinegar. We also cover the Hantu Bomo, the shaman who falls into darkness, and the Toyol, a toddler-like stealing spirit distracted by marbles and beans. We connect these myths to broader questions about how legends spread, why certain patterns show up in the US too, and how AI videos make the modern paranormal harder to trust.Subscribe for more paranormal history and folklore, share this with a friend who loves ghost stories, and leave a review.

A hilltop mansion with panoramic views should feel like a reward. Pittock Mansion often feels like a warning. We head to Portland, Oregon to unpack the real history behind this 46-room landmark, then follow the trail of reports that refuse to fade: heavy footsteps on empty stairs, doors that won’t stay locked, cold spots that hit like a wall, and photos that seem to catch someone standing where no one should be.We start with Henry and Georgiana Pittock, their Oregon Trail roots, the newspaper empire that helped shape Portland, and the jaw-dropping “modern” features they built into the home for the early 1900s, including an elevator and intercoms. Then the mansion’s timeline turns, from family ownership to decline, storm damage, and a community effort that saved the property from demolition and turned it into a historic house museum. That museum setting matters, because it creates the perfect stage for patterns: repeated sounds, repeated sightings, and repeated stories from staff and tours year after year.Then we get into the hauntings. The headline is the prankster boy: a playful presence blamed for rearranged objects, moved books, unexplained giggles, and taps or tugs that feel like someone demanding attention. We also talk about the spirits many believe are Henry and Georgiana, including an elderly woman seen near the master bedroom and the scent of roses in rooms with no flowers, plus an elderly man in the study paired with the smell of pipe tobacco. Along the way, we wrestle with the big paranormal questions: residual energy versus intelligent interaction, and whether “child spirits” are really children at all.Listen, then tell us where you land on it, and if you’ve ever toured Pittock Mansion, share what you experienced.

A beer empire. A 33-room mansion. A cave system underneath it all. Then the gunshots start, the family name collapses, and the house develops a reputation that refuses to die. We’re Josh, Jamie, and Elisa, and we’re taking you deep into the Lemp Mansion story in St. Louis, Missouri, where real American history and modern paranormal reports collide in the same hallways. We walk through the rise of Western Brewery, the German-American influence that made lager a powerhouse, and the way the Lemp home was literally built on top of the caves that stored the business. From there, the timeline turns brutal: Frederick’s death, William Lemp Sr’s unraveling, Billy Lemp Jr’s scandal and the Lavender Lady drama, and the way Prohibition accelerates the end of a dynasty. If you’ve ever searched “Lemp Mansion curse” or “haunted bed and breakfast St. Louis,” the backstory is the reason the ghost stories hit harder. Then we get into the hauntings people still report today: the attic legend of Zeke and the “Monkey Boy,” marbles that seem to roll against gravity, toys that shift, and voices that whisper “Play with me.” We talk mirrors that show figures who aren’t in the room, second-floor pacing and deadbolts, lavender perfume that follows guests, objects that move in the dining room, and the caves below where the vibe turns darker with the Shadow Man and physical encounters. If you like paranormal investigation details, EVP stories, and haunted location history that actually connects to the people who lived there, this one’s loaded. Subscribe, share it with a friend who loves haunted houses, and leave a review with one question: would you spend the night in the Lemp Mansion?Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.  Check us out on Facebook Paranormal Peeps Podcast or Coldspot Paranormal Research and on Instagram coldspot_paranormal_researchSupport the show

A quiet dirt road, a beautiful old house, and a history that refuses to stay buried. We head to Fonti Flora Plantation in Blair, South Carolina, where even the basic facts feel unsettled, including conflicting accounts of when the home was built and why so many sources disagree. From there, the story opens into a classic haunted plantation timeline: enormous acreage tied to a dowry, generational losses that literally gamble the land away, and Civil War damage that still leaves physical scars, including a fire started in the parlor and reports of charred walls hidden behind furniture. We also talk through the deeper layers that make paranormal locations feel heavy: arrowheads turning up after rainstorms that hint at Indigenous history, family members dying inside the home across decades, and the sad disappearance of stillborn grave markers that once stood near the house. We don’t skip the hard topics either. Plantation history always includes slavery, and we wrestle with what it means to hear claims of “better treatment,” how oral histories shape what survives, and what’s left undocumented. Then the haunting claims take over. We share reports of a violin playing in the attic that stops the moment someone approaches, doors pulled shut from the other side, and a documentary investigation that leans on familiar paranormal investigation tools like EVPs, a spirit box, and SLS mapping. The most unsettling turn is the Hat Man conversation, including our take that this presence may be personal and targeted rather than tied to a single haunted location. If you’re into haunted history, ghost hunting evidence, and the psychology of fear, you’ll have plenty to chew on. Subscribe for more paranormal stories, share this with the friend who can’t resist a haunted house documentary, and leave a review if you want us to cover more haunted plantations and investigations.

A volcano can be measured by seismographs; a legend needs a different kind of instrument. We head to Mount Shasta, the California peak that has inspired a century of reports about Lemurians, hidden cities, lenticular “cloaks,” and startling disappearances—and we ask what holds up when the fog of myth lifts.We start with the bold map laid down by researcher Wishar S. Survey, who argued that an ancient continent called Lemuria (Mu) shattered under colossal forces, leaving Mount Shasta as a final sanctuary for survivors. From there, we track the threads: early channelers describing polished halls and giant-cut tunnels, 1930s accounts of tall robed patrons buying sulfur and salt with oversized gold nuggets, and the enduring tale of prospector JC Brown, who claimed to find an 11‑mile passage to an underground city, only to vanish before leading an expedition back.The mystery gains its edge in the open air. We revisit the baffling disappearance of marathoner Carl Landers between two visible points on a bright snowfield, and the “Missing Boy” who reappeared miles away with a calm story of “others” in a room of light. Then we press into the practices of modern seekers: requesting permission at Bunny Flat, watching for lenticular clouds, maintaining silence at supposed portals, and treating crystal grooves as “barcodes” for a library of light. Skeptical? So are we—so we bring geology, EMF, and the psychology of high-altitude perception into the conversation to explore how energy, environment, and expectation interact on a mountain famous for missing time.By the end, Shasta stands as more than a stage for giants and gold. It’s a mirror that reflects what we bring: faith, curiosity, doubt, and the need to make sense of the unexplainable. Whether you file Telos under folklore or frontier, you’ll leave with sharper questions—and a new respect for how a single peak can organize a century of wonder.If this journey sparked a thought, share the episode with a friend, leave us a review, and hit follow so you never miss our next deep dive.

A bandit’s bolthole, a sheriff’s showcase, a wartime hospital—McRaven House compresses centuries into a single haunted address, and it doesn’t whisper so much as answer back. We dive into the Pioneer roots of 1797, where highwayman Andrew Glass built a one-story hideout on the Natchez Trace, then follow the 1836 Empire-style expansion by Sheriff Stephen Howard and the 1849 Greek Revival polish from brickmaker John H. Bob. Architecture becomes a timeline you can walk, and every room has a reason to remember.The Civil War carved those memories deep. During the 43-day Siege of Vicksburg, McRaven served as a Confederate hospital and took cannon fire while casualties mounted. Locals believe hundreds were interred in a mass grave on the property—close enough that visitors still feel the ground pulling at their thoughts. That context lights up modern investigations: footsteps on empty floors, a balcony figure locking eyes, and sudden bursts of equipment hits when the questions turn to parties in the parlor. When a femur surfaced during utility work, guides say the house bristled for days, as if the soil itself had something to say.What lingers most are the people. Mary Elizabeth, married at twelve and gone by sixteen during childbirth, is the house’s gentlest presence—seen in a wedding dress or mourning black, opening an antique armoire and playing with visiting children. Andrew Glass feels closer to the rough Pioneer rooms, where women report tugs and whispers. The name Ida appears on spirit boxes with eerie timing, matching a death recorded in 1946. Even a self-proclaimed skeptic from CNN Travel walked away unsettled, pulled from laughter to goosebumps as the gear flashed in sync with sharp, relevant answers.We bring curiosity and care to the hunt—cross-checking stories, watching for relevance, and letting the location set the pace. McRaven isn’t a jump-scare factory; it’s a living archive where verifiable history and personal hauntings intersect. If you love paranormal investigation, Southern architecture, or Civil War history, you’ll find a rare convergence here that rewards open minds and good questions. Press play, then tell us: did the armoire convincing you tip the scale, or did the balcony woman do it?If you enjoyed this deep dive, follow the show, share it with a curious friend, and leave a review telling us what moment hooked you most.Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.  Check us out on Facebook Paranormal Peeps Podcast or Coldspot Paranormal Research and on Instagram coldspot_paranormal_researchSupport the show
