November 16, 2025 Galvez Employee Spills the Tea... Listener's Stories 005
This was such a cool story to receive! An ex employee of the Grand Galvez heard the Galveston series and reached out with her own experiences and THEY ARE SPOOKY!

I love getting listener stories sent my way but especially when they are follow up's on previous episodes.

November 06, 2025 Victoria's Black Swan Inn... s02 e03
The Extremely Haunted Victoria's Black Swan Inn... This one took me by surprise I'm not going to lie, I sat down with Fred and Stephen of Curious Twins Paranormal in this historic San Antonio location as they shared childhood ghost stories and truly terrifying tales from the house itself.
Then I had my own bizarre experiences as I wandered the property trying to get some extra shots that in hindsight have only become even more strange...

I'm still terrible at these descriptions and key words but there was EVP's, light anomalies, poltergeist activity... psychic experiences.... other things that might come up in a search...

You can investigate this property and more in The Curious Twins catalogue of haunted properties!

October 08, 2025 The Ghosts of Galveston - Part Two... s02e02
Welcome to Houston Strange season two...
At the start of this year I was fortunate enough to sit down with some extremely knowledgable folks; Gin Keel of Spooky Galveston and Melissa Hall aka the Ghostess of Galveston who were so kind as to share some of the stories that make up just a few of the legends from the most haunted island in Texas.
We delve deep into the very real historical events from which these legends originated and hear first hand accounts of people who have experienced the islands unseen residents. These interviews, which took place in some extremely historically rich, allegedly haunted locations were plagued with equipment malfunctions and battery drainage.

January 14, 2025 Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast - Ouija Board Origins and the Urban Legend of Zozo the Demon
Life is filled with risks and unknowns. This is no different when using an ouija board. You could contact a loved one and have a pleasant experience, you could have nothing at all happen, and according to some if you're not careful, you could open a spiritual realm, inviting malevolent entities you never intended to contact. You can get attachments, you can be oppressed. You could also be manipulated, as you have no way to actually know if who you're talking to is who they say they are. Nevertheless, the ouija board continues to be one of the most iconic items in a variety of spiritual practices and paranormal investigations. Countless stories persist of strange and unexplained phenomena when using one.
So today, we will be exploring the history of ouija boards, and the infamous urban legend of Zozo the demon. You will also hear several paranormal encounter stories from today's special guest.
Today's episode features Adam from the Weekly Creep Podcast, and the new show Houston Strange! Check out Adam's podcasts on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
