Do you love the Hamptons as much as we do? Then click play! In this very special Halloween edition of The Daily Home Edit, Home Beautiful's Katrina O'Brien catches up with acclaimed spooky expert, Karina Machado about the ghostly side of our favourite design destination, the Hamptons. Karina is the best-selling author of Spirit Sisters, Where Spirits Dwell and Love Never Dies and the host of two compelling podcasts The Ghost Files and Spirit Sisters (both highly recommended listens!)

In this chilling episode, Karina reveals the secrets behind some of the Hamptons' most haunted houses and steps back in time to one of the Hamptons' most famous residences, Grey Gardens, the home of fallen society queen Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beal ("Big and Little Edie"). Their intriguing story was immortalised in a 1976 documentary (that became a cult classic) and later remade into a Hollywood film starring Drew Barrymore. Find out what happened when Big Edie and Little Edie left Grey Gardens. A spooky tale not to be missed.
