From Starbucks to Spirits: A Conversation with Jeff Hartman

Step into LA’s most infamous haunted hospital. I put you inside the stories with immersive sound design and real haunting claims — from ghostly voices to moving wheelchairs. Then I share my take as a medium: are these spirits dangerous, or just desperate to be heard? Maybe they aren’t haunting us — maybe they’re still waiting for compassion.

I almost visited the Winchester Mystery House—but instead, I tuned in remotely to uncover what might really lie behind its strange design. Built by the reclusive Sarah Winchester, the house is filled with staircases to nowhere, sealed rooms, and stories of restless spirits. In this episode, I share what I picked up as a medium and what the energy of the house revealed to me.

This episode features powerful personal stories: a woman sees an orb during meditation, others witness shadow figures—including a mysterious hooded presence—and some receive signs from the other side through hummingbirds and other unexpected messengers. All in this Readers Room episode.

In this episode on This House Medium, I dive into the infamous Fire in the Sky case—Travis Walton’s shocking story of alien abduction in 1975. Was he really taken aboard a UFO, or is this one of the most elaborate hoaxes in paranormal history? I explore what Travis claims happened, the strange details of his disappearance, the lie detector tests, and the skeptics’ take. Join me as I break down the facts, the fiction, and everything in between.

This week, we head to the wide open desert skies of West Texas to unravel the glowing mystery of the Marfa Lights. Are they headlights playing tricks on us or something far more paranormal? I break down the facts, the folklore, and the theories behind this strange phenomenon seen for over a century. Ghosts, UFOs, or heatwaves — let’s find out what’s really lighting up the desert.

HIIIjust lil message from me-

In this episode of Sinners, Adela Lavine dives deep into the chilling vampire film that’s had everyone talking — but we go beyond the blood. 🩸 From hidden voodoo references to layered symbolism rooted in racism, oppression, and ancestral reckoning, this is the breakdown you didn’t know you needed.🔮 As a medium and seer, Adela explores what mainstream reviews skipped — who do the characters really represent? What’s the deeper meaning behind the spiritual rituals? And why does this movie strike such a nerve in today’s climate?🎵 Plus, we decode the soundtrack — from haunting gospel tones to gritty trap and ethereal chants — and how the music was used to echo spiritual warfare, resistance, and transformation.If you watched Sinners and thought “I’m missing something…” — you were. Let’s talk about it.

Description:We all know the movie Poltergeist — but what if the real story behind it wasn’t about ghosts at all? In this episode, I dig into the 1958 case of the Hermann family, whose Long Island home was the site of bizarre, unexplained activity. Bottles popping, objects flying… but was it really a haunting? Or could something else have been at play — maybe something not of this world? Join me as I unravel the facts, question the theories, and offer my own insight into what really happened.

In this episode, I’m diving into the story of the Annabelle doll—yes, the one made famous by horror films and the Warrens’ museum. Is she truly haunted… or is it all a scam? We’ll look at the origins, the claims, and the controversy—plus the recent rumors about her tour allegedly causing a plantation fire and even a prison break. You know me… I’ll give you the real deal, no fluff. Let’s break it down.

this episode, I’m joined by my friend Jeff as we talk about my very first medium reading—which happened in a Starbucks. We also reflect on the podcast we used to do back when Starbucks was actually fun. We share how that experience, and the vibe of that time, might’ve even influenced some of the shifts we’re seeing in the brand today. It’s part memoir, part nostalgia, and part behind-the-scenes of how it all started.
