From Starbucks to Spirits: A Conversation with Jeff Hartman

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.

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.

In this eerie and nostalgic episode of The House Medium, Adela dives into the chilling backstory of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion — from Walt Disney’s original vision to the Imagineers who brought it to life. She also breaks down the actual storyline of the ride itself — the subtle narrative that ties the spooky scenes together, from the stretching room to the ghostly bride in the attic. But beyond the carefully crafted illusions lies a deeper layer of ghost stories whispered among cast members and passed down through the years. Is there more haunting the mansion than just animatronics? Hear the lore, the secrets, and the shadowy tales behind the ride that refuses to rest in peace.

This week on The House Medium, I’m joined by the insightful and always entertaining Ken Boggle. He’s a tarot reader, psychic medium, teacher, and paranormal investigator.

Ken brings depth, clarity, and real personality—this is one you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, I explore the real house that inspired The Conjuring movies — the Perron family home.

I also share what I saw as a medium about the house and the people involved, including a deeper look at those accused of witchcraft. Were they truly evil, or were they fighting for justice? Join me as I pull back the curtain on one of America’s most famous haunted houses and reveal the truths you haven’t heard before.
