My Friends Are Haunted

IT’S FINALLY HALLOWEEN SEASON ON MY FRIENDS ARE HAUNTED!

In this Part 1 Halloween Special of My Friends Are Haunted, your ghostly host Caitlin May is joined by the most haunted ghoul she knows… her sister, Eli!This time, the sisters are taking a trip back to where it all began — their childhood homes and their earliest paranormal experiences.

Growing up together, Caitlin and Eli experienced strange things in and around their homes, from ghostly encounters and unexplained noises to unsettling experiences in their bedrooms that they couldn't quite explain.

But what happens when you discover that your sibling remembers experiencing something eerily similar… without either of you ever telling the other?

As they compare their childhood memories, Caitlin and Eli uncover stories that are far more connected than they realized. Experiences that once seemed like childhood imagination start sounding much more unsettling when you put the pieces together.

And this wasn't simply seeing something strange in the corner of a room.

We're talking about sleep paralysis, dark energies, unexplained voices, terrifying nighttime encounters, and whispers that seemed to say things they definitely didn't want to hear. Were these early paranormal experiences simply isolated incidents, or could they have been signs of the strange encounters that would follow both sisters later in life?

This sister-to-sister paranormal conversation goes deep into true ghost stories, childhood hauntings, personal paranormal experiences, unexplained phenomena, sleep paralysis, and encounters with things that may not have been so easy to dismiss.

AND THIS IS ONLY PART 1…

Stay tuned for Part 2, where Eli reveals the personal paranormal experience that Caitlin considers one of the most terrifying stories she's ever heard.

But there's a twist…Eli also has a story that SHE considers her most terrifying paranormal experience.

So which story is worse?

You be the judge.

Which of Eli's experiences would leave YOU absolutely terrified — and which one would you refuse to experience yourself?

In this October special of My Friends Are Haunted, host Caitlin May is joined by friend and musician Mike Hill to recount his personal experiences with witnessing what seemed to be demonic possessions... TWICE!

Growing up in a church where speaking in tongues and expressing yourself was common, Mike was used to seeing those things, but two different occasions have stuck with him all these years that has left him wondering what really was happening?!

One story of a foreign exchange student who didn't speak English, but after a sudden series of oppressive attachments and outbursts at church she seemed to change. Voices changing as if demonic entities were coming out of her in real time and all at the same time.

And then after... she was different. Suddenly she spoke perfect English, was outgoing and chatty. However, Caitlin isn't convinced they took it out of her.. maybe she was left with something inside who was putting on a facade?

Then a story of a casual college church hang that turned into a night of what Mike refers to as "Ghost Busting". When a unexpected friend joins the party who doesn't go to the church he is suddenly overtaken by a possession. Getting violent, speaking in demonic voices, and even sliding under cars to keep them from praying over him...

Possessions are dangerous and was it really a safe space to be casting the demons out when so many open people were around?

This week on My Friends Are Haunted, host Caitlin May is joined by musician and actor Jake Ferree for a chilling deep dive into one of America's most infamous haunted locations—the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri.

Known as one of the most haunted places in St. Louis, the Lemp Mansion is filled with tragic family history, mysterious deaths, and decades of reported paranormal activity. Jake brings the mansion's dark Victorian past to life as he recounts the heartbreaking rise and devastating fall of the legendary Lemp brewing family, exploring why so many believe restless spirits still linger within its walls.

Jake also shares the true ghost stories and real paranormal experiences he had during two separate overnight stays inside the mansion. What began as a romantic anniversary getaway quickly turned unsettling when an eerie "Peeping Tom" spirit seemed determined to interrupt a candlelit bath and champagne evening. Then came the unmistakable sound of footsteps following behind them in an empty hallway—despite knowing they were completely alone.

On a later visit, Jake returned with his sister, hoping their shared German heritage and music might help them connect with members of the Lemp family. What happened next left them questioning everything as they experienced what felt like direct communication from the spirits said to haunt the mansion.

In this episode of My Friends Are Haunted, Carter Allen comes back for a Part 2, joining host Caitlin May to discuss his resident apartment ghost who has many ways to show his presence to him and his roommate.

Before even signing the lease, Carter was met with the blunt truth... this apartment is HAUNTED! But did he decide to still move in? Yes, yes he did. And now he lives amicably with what he describes as a young adult male presence.

Silverware that seemingly disappears. And this isn't a bustling apartment with many roommates, it is just the two of them. Even a bowl that mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear but not in its original color. Boggling their minds and leaving them to wonder why this guy is messing with their dishware?!

He shows himself to them and even is seen in the hallway and in apparently enjoys the side of the house that Carter's room is on. Did this spirit live here and if these hauntings seem intelligent then why is he still hanging around?

Then hear a listener story from Celeste who shares another story of how renting an apartment is always a gamble of what may be residing there. Greeted on move in day by a little girl who told her a woman died in the bathtub... it only gets more terrifying from there!

This week on My Friends Are Haunted, host Caitlin May is joined by friend Carter Allen to dive into one of the most controversial topics in the paranormal world... Ouija boards. And because no haunted episode would be complete without something strange happening, a mysterious technical malfunction makes an appearance along the way.

Caitlin shares the chilling true story of the last time she ever used a Ouija board as a teenager—a night that changed the way she viewed the paranormal forever.

What started as an innocent invitation to explore a cemetery with new friends in a new town quickly took an unexpected turn. Only after arriving did she discover the real reason they were there: to use a Ouija board in an attempt to communicate with a friend who had recently passed away.

What happened next was impossible to explain. The board began answering deeply personal questions with shocking accuracy, spelling out the names of spirits Caitlin had encountered throughout her life—including names she had never shared with anyone present.

As the conversation continued, one terrifying question lingered in her mind: Why do these spirits keep following me?

The answer she received is something she'll never forget.

Was it genuine spirit communication, subconscious influence, or something far darker? Join us as we explore true ghost stories, Ouija board experiences, haunted cemeteries, paranormal investigations, supernatural encounters, and the mysteries that continue to haunt us long after the session ends.

On this week's episode of My Friends Are Haunted, host Caitlin May is joined once again by returning guest Jessica for one of the most unsettling conversations yet.

For years, Caitlin has experienced the same recurring nightmare—a mysterious old house that feels impossibly real. Time after time, she's drawn back to the exact same place, leaving her to wonder if these aren't just dreams at all... but a form of spirit communication.

Everything changed when she saw an episode of Ghost Adventures when the crew go to Mentryville, the historic oil town in Santa Clarita, California. Growing up in that town Caitlin had been on the property many times to explore, investigate and hike. Although she never stepped foot inside the main house, every detail matched the location she'd been visiting in her dreams. Could this be nothing more than coincidence... or is something paranormal tied to her from visiting the property?

Can spirits communicate with us through dreams? Are recurring nightmares connected to haunted locations? Join us as we explore true ghost stories, paranormal experiences, haunted dreams, supernatural encounters, and the chilling possibility that some places can reach us long before we ever arrive.
