In the debut episode of This Haunted Life, paranormal investigator Adam Berry takes us deep underground — both literally and emotionally. What begins with personal stories from his haunted childhood home evolves into something much larger: a chilling paranormal case involving possible human remains, and a real-life listener story that will stay with you long after the episode ends. From unexplained footsteps to recurring dreams that blur the line between reality and nightmare, this episode explores what happens when the basement becomes a true crime drama for the unknown.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Adam’s first brushes with the paranormal in his childhood basement
• The symbolic, psychological, and spiritual weight of basements in horror
• A real investigation involving a ghostly EVP, a cadaver dog, and ground-penetrating radar
• A terrifying listener story from North Dakota with dreams so intense they left a man forever changed
• The recurring theme of entrapment — physical, emotional, and supernatural
• Why the scariest part of the house might be the part we least want to explore
