The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

This is Part Two of our conversation.
Some stories don’t begin as ghost stories. They start with real events—but over time, something shifts. Details blur. Meanings change. And history slowly becomes something else.
That’s the focus of Brandon Schexnayder and his work on the Southern Gothic podcast, where haunted history and Southern legend intersect. Through storytelling and research, he explores how these stories evolve—and why they never fully let go.
Like the Curse of Julia Brown, a healer in the small town of Frenier who was both respected and feared. In the years before her death, she was said to sing a song, “When I die, I'll take the whole town with me.”
When a hurricane struck on the day of her funeral in 1915, devastating the entire town, the story took on a life of its own.
Coincidence… or something more? These are the stories that blur the line between what happened—and what people believe happened.
You can listen to the Southern Gothic podcast wherever you listen to podcasts. Also, get more information at their website, southerngothicmedia.com.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO
Once a lavish estate, the building took on a new purpose as a youth counseling center—a place meant for healing, stability, and second chances. But according to paranormal investigator James Koppert, something within the property never embraced that role.
Staff began reporting doors that would lock without explanation, sudden cold spots that disrupted therapy sessions, and an atmosphere that felt unusually heavy. Even more unsettling were the accounts from children, many of whom independently described seeing the same shadowy figure—a “dark man” lingering silently in the corner.
Rather than remaining in the background, the activity appeared to interfere with the work being done inside. James Koppert shares the experiences reported within the building and explores why some locations may carry more than just history into their next chapter.

Paul wasn’t sure if what happened in that house qualified as a ghost story—but it was enough to make both him and his wife question what they were hearing.
It started simply enough. Late nights, young kids, the kind of routine that comes with being woken up over and over again. Nothing about it felt unusual at first. Until it stopped lining up.
The sounds were specific. Familiar in a way that didn’t require thinking—something you recognize instantly without needing to see it. And that’s what made it so difficult to ignore once it started happening more than once.
It wasn’t just a one-time moment or something easily explained away. It repeated. Clear enough to respond to… but never where it should have been.
Looking back, Paul still doesn’t have an answer for what was happening in that house. But whatever it was, it didn’t just sound real. It knew exactly how to be recognized.

It had been a late-night trip to the video store, the kind of routine they’d done dozens of times before—nothing about it standing out until something shifted.
At first, it was easy to ignore. A pause that didn’t make sense. A feeling that passed quickly enough to dismiss. But once they were home and the movie started, something in the room changed—and their dog was the first to notice.
What began as a subtle reaction turned into something focused, controlled, and impossible to calm. Turning the movie off didn’t stop it. If anything, it made it worse. Because whatever the dog was reacting to wasn’t staying in one place.
And when the only way to make it stop was to physically remove the movie from the house… it left behind a question that didn’t go away as easily as the feeling did.
