True Tales From Old Houses

151: Spooky Stories From Old Houses Part II


Listen Later

In this special October episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy and Daniel return with Part II of their spooky stories compilation. Following the eerie encounters shared in Part I, this episode brings even more spine-tingling yet light-hearted ghost stories from old house owners across the U.S. and Canada.

In Part II, Caitlin Barrett recounts the strange disturbances in her 1890 home in Kerhonksin, New York, blending humor with suspense. Next, Laurel, an architectural historian from Hawaii, shares her family's multi-generational experiences with a haunted house in Maine. Then, Liberty discusses her 176-year-old home in Northeast Ohio, where a resident ghost seems lukewarm about the family's renovations but fond of her kids. Finally, Tara tells the tale of her friendly ghost with whom she's lived harmoniously for over 23 years—often using the ghost's presence to her advantage with guests and contractors.

For fans of haunted house stories with a playful twist, Part II offers more spooky delights.

"Caitlin Barrett's Paranormal Profession" Professional namer Caitlin Barrett shares some spooky encounters in her 1890 house in Kerhounksin, New York. From odd noises to thunderous booms, Caitlin's tale takes a surprising turn when a salt ritual seems to resolve the paranormal disturbances.

"Laurel's Haunted Family Home in Maine" Laurel, an architectural historian from Hawaii, dives into the eerie stories passed down through her family about their haunted home in Maine. Since the 1970s, strange noises and moving objects have become a part of the house's legacy.

"Liberty's Playful Ghost" Liberty's family recently moved into a 176-year-old house in Northeast Ohio, and not all of the residents are happy about it! Liberty discusses their ghostly housemate, who is less than thrilled with the renovations but seems to have taken a special liking to the kids.

"Tara's Friendly Haunt" For over two decades, Tara has lived with a ghost in her home—one confirmed by a psychic. Rather than fearing her spectral companion, Tara has found a way to embrace its presence and even use it to her advantage when guests or contractors wear out their welcome.
