Inspector Roy Teague Returns: Police UFO Accounts, Abduction Claims and the Paranormal
Episode 394
Show notes
Inspector Roy Teague returns to Pursuit of the Paranormal for a follow-up conversation with Ash and Greg about the police witness accounts reaching him since his NewsNation appearance.
Roy recounts reports of egg-shaped UFOs, black triangles and alleged abductions, including a serving officer’s “fuzzy faces” account that he says he is sharing publicly for the first time. The discussion considers repeat sightings, witness anonymity, the difficulties of investigating consciousness and telepathy claims, and listener questions about police vehicles and a hypothetical disclosure event.
Beyond UFOs, Roy shares paranormal reports relayed by police and emergency-service witnesses. Ash and Greg revisit an unexplained sound they heard in Delamere Forest, and Roy outlines his plans to film investigations for Policing the Unexplained. The closing discussion explores the overlap some witnesses describe between UFO sightings, paranormal experiences and reported premonitions.
The episode presents witness accounts, personal interpretations and speculation, rather than independently verified events. Some recollections are described as emerging under hypnosis; they do not establish that an abduction occurred.
Find Roy on YouTube: Policing the Unexplained. To share an account: contact@policingtheunexplained.com (as given in the interview).

Creature of the Pines: Horror, Alien Abductions & Paranormal Filmmaking | Tyler Transue | Doc Side Media
Episode 393
Show notes
What happens when paranormal documentary makers turn their attention to fictional horror?
Greg and Ash welcome back Tyler Transue from Doc Side Media, the independent production company behind a growing collection of UFO, Sasquatch and paranormal documentaries.
This time, Tyler joins us to discuss two very different productions: Creature of the Pines, a new found-footage horror film set in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and Stolen by the Stars, a documentary exploring extraordinary accounts of alien abduction and contact.
Following a successful cinema screening of Creature of the Pines, Tyler shares the story of how he and fellow filmmaker Chris Ruppert moved from interviewing paranormal witnesses to creating their own terrifying fictional investigation, taking inspiration from the documentary realism of films such as The Blair Witch Project.
We explore the challenges of independent filmmaking, stepping in front of the camera, creating convincing horror and the business of getting films distributed.
The conversation also examines how Doc Side Media approaches genuine paranormal testimony. How do they identify experiencers? What happens when somebody shares an almost unbelievable story? And should documentary makers decide what audiences are prepared to believe?
Perhaps most interestingly, we discuss the sometimes controversial relationship between paranormal investigation and entertainment. Can filmmakers produce factual investigations and fictional horror without undermining their credibility?
We also look back over five years of Doc Side Media productions, from Conscious Contact: Full Disclosure and Secrets of the Sasquatch to Surrounded by Spirits and Stolen by the Stars.

Creature of the Pines is available through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Screambox, while Stolen by the Stars is available through Tubi and Apple TV, subject to regional availability.

Pentagon UFO Revelations, Mystery Space Debris & a VERY Cheeky Ghost! | Paranormal News
Show notes
👽 Alien bodies recovered at Roswell? Mystery debris discovered in a cornfield? And a ghost with wandering hands?!
Welcome to another UFO & Paranormal News Roundup from Pursuit of the Paranormal, where we explore the latest strange stories making headlines around the world.
This week, we're covering three fascinating stories from the worlds of UFOs, unexplained phenomena and ghostly encounters.
🛸 PENTAGON UFO REVELATIONS
Former Pentagon UAP Task Force director Jay Stratton has made extraordinary claims in his new book, Out of the Shadows. From alleged recovered alien spacecraft and non-human bodies at Roswell to mysterious triangular UFO footage, we examine what he's saying, his intelligence background and, crucially, where the evidence stands.
☄️ MYSTERY OBJECT DISCOVERED IN MINNESOTA
An enormous metallic object measuring approximately 11 feet across has been discovered in a Minnesota cornfield. Authorities are investigating its origin, with space debris a possible explanation. But what exactly is it, and where did it come from?
👻 A VERY CHEEKY YORKSHIRE GHOST
A woman visiting the Haunted Objects Museum in Rotherham claims an unseen presence pulled and released her bra strap inside the notorious Demon Room! We examine the reported encounter, the CCTV reaction and whether there's a more down-to-earth explanation.
🔎 Three stories. Plenty of questions. But what does the evidence actually tell us?
At Pursuit of the Paranormal, we approach the unexplained with curiosity, an open mind and healthy scepticism.

The Cartography of High Strangeness: UFOs, Consciousness and the Paranormal | Richard Monck
Episode 391
Show notes
What if UFO encounters, paranormal experiences, strange coincidences and altered states of consciousness aren't separate mysteries, but different parts of the same phenomenon?
In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash welcome Fortean writer and researcher Richard Monck, whose work explores the fascinating intersections between UFOs, consciousness, folklore and high strangeness.
Richard's personal journey into the unexplained began with extraordinary childhood experiences, including an apparent UFO sighting in 1980 that would influence his understanding of reality for decades to come.
Through his writing, including The Cartography of High Strangeness for UAPedia, Richard explores whether unusual experiences might form part of a much bigger picture.
Drawing on the ideas of researchers and thinkers such as John Keel, Jacques Vallée and Patrick Harpur, we explore the boundaries between the physical world, human perception and experiences that seem to defy conventional explanations.
Could certain individuals be more susceptible to extraordinary experiences? Are synchronicities simply coincidences, or could they suggest something deeper? And might the UFO phenomenon have more in common with traditional paranormal experiences than we realise?
From mysterious encounters to the possibility that consciousness plays a fundamental role in our understanding of reality, this conversation takes us into the fascinating territory of high strangeness.
Join Greg, Ash and Richard Monck as we venture beyond conventional explanations and explore the mysteries connecting the paranormal, UFOs and human consciousness.

Spooky Britain: Haunted Places, Dark Tourism & a Sceptic’s Own Haunting | Peter Naldrett
Episode 390
Show notes
Greg and Ash are joined by Peter Naldrett, author of Spooky Britain: The 100 Most Eerie and Mysterious Places to Visit, for a journey through some of Britain’s strangest locations, ghost stories and supernatural legends.
Peter describes himself as a sceptic — but during his university days in Lancaster he experienced something he still struggles to explain. Mysterious black ash repeatedly appeared on his pillow before he eventually witnessed the substance apparently materialising above him and falling onto his desk. Later experiences in the same house included moving curtains and the terrifying sensation of an unseen presence approaching his bedroom.
That experience changed the way Peter thinks about paranormal testimony and ultimately forms part of the story behind Spooky Britain.
We explore the process of choosing 100 locations from across Britain and hear stories involving haunted pubs, cursed objects, castles, prisons, theatres, witchcraft, Cannock Chase, nuclear bunkers, strange voices inside underground caverns and some of the country’s lesser-known supernatural legends.
The conversation also explores dark tourism, whether paranormal stories are sometimes deliberately monetised, why some locations embrace their haunted reputations while others avoid them, and why Britain’s centuries of history have created such a rich landscape of ghosts, folklore and mystery.

This Week in the Unexplained: UFO Disclosure, SpaceX and A Ghosts Voice?
Episode 389
Show notes
This week on the Pursuit of the Paranormal Weekly News Round-Up, Greg looks at three of the biggest stories from the world of UFOs, UAP and the paranormal.
David Grusch has returned to The Joe Rogan Experience and says he believes a form of UAP disclosure could happen before Donald Trump leaves office. During the same conversation, Joe Rogan also revealed that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller allegedly told him that information about UFOs was “going to come out”.
We also look at the strange blue-white object spotted during SpaceX’s historic Starship Flight 14. The footage quickly sparked UFO speculation online, but a closer look at the livestream may offer a much more conventional explanation.
And finally, we head to Castletown on the Isle of Man, where the Sixth Senses Paranormal Society investigated the Vintage Tea Room and reported recording what they believe could have been the voice of a child.
Three very different stories, but all raising the same question: where does the evidence end, and interpretation begin?
The Pursuit of the Paranormal Weekly News Round-Up is produced in association with Beyond Our Ordinary and UFO Identified.

The Lady in the Bay Window: 21 Years of Unexplained Activity | William C. Grave
Episode 388
Show notes
William C. Grave bought his first home at just 19 years old as a complete sceptic. Before he had even moved in, a friend looked towards the empty property and asked a question that would eventually change the course of William’s life:
“Who’s the lady in the bay window?”
More than two decades later, multiple people have independently reported seeing what appears to be the same elderly woman inside the house, described with grey hair, a dark cardigan, white blouse and an unnervingly piercing stare.
In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash sit down with William to explore the extraordinary story behind The Lady in the Bay Window.
William recounts one of the strangest episodes in the house: American one-cent coins repeatedly appearing in places where they seemingly should not have been. What began with a coin appearing on the bedroom floor escalated over several nights until William says one actually struck him on the leg while he was alone in the shower. Later, a single coin left on his bedside table appeared to have become two.
He also describes witnessing what he considers one of the most compelling incidents personally: a spring-loaded door handle moving down in front of him and his wife, the door opening, then the handle snapping back up as the door slammed shut.
We also discuss investigations carried out inside the property, including a 24-hour visit from Ghosts on Trent. Footage recorded while nobody was inside appeared to contain unexplained knocking and tapping, while another camera captured what looked remarkably like the figure of a woman standing at a window.
When William showed the image to his father, he was sent a photograph of William’s late mother on her wedding day. William admits the resemblance was difficult to unsee, while remaining careful not to claim that this proves what was captured.
Despite everything that has happened, William still stops short of declaring his house definitively haunted. He knows something unusual appears to be happening, but remains open to the possibility that paranormal experiences could ultimately have an explanation we do not yet understand.
The story has since become far bigger than the house itself. William’s first book has raised more than £57,000 for Weston Park Cancer Charity, fulfilling a promise he made to his mother before she died.
We also talk about The Lady in the Bay Window theatre production, William’s Beyond the Bay Window podcast, the launch of paranormal-events platform HauntSeek, and the newly announced film deal that will bring the story to the screen as a found-footage project.
Is this a genuine haunting? Coincidence? An unknown physical phenomenon? Or something else entirely?
Join Greg and Ash for the remarkable story of The Lady in the Bay Window.

Can We Predict a Haunting? | Andy Guy, SCIRE Tech & the Science of the Paranormal
Episode 386
Show notes
What if paranormal activity could be measured, analysed — and eventually even predicted?
In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash are joined by Andy Guy of SCIRE Tech for a deep dive into the technology, data and science behind paranormal investigation.
Andy explains how an early experience at Woodchester Mansion led him into years of investigation, environmental monitoring and eventually the development of specialist paranormal research equipment through SCIRE Tech.
The conversation goes far beyond flashing K2 meters and REM pods. We get into EMF contamination, temperature, air pressure, radiation, environmental anomalies, moon phases and the importance of understanding exactly what your equipment is measuring.
Andy also discusses the idea of a preponderance of evidence — where multiple independent measurements change around the same unexplained event — and his long-term goal of using enough data to identify patterns that may eventually help predict when certain types of anomalous activity are more likely to occur.
Then things get even stranger.
Could some apparitions be connected to parallel realities rather than the dead? Could consciousness exist beyond the brain? Why do UFO encounters, cryptid reports and paranormal experiences sometimes appear to overlap? And could AI eventually analyse millions of paranormal data points and reveal patterns that humans have completely missed?
Greg also revisits the bizarre Delamere investigation where an Estes session, unexplained electrical interference and unidentified objects in the sky appeared to occur at the same time.
The deeper the conversation goes, the bigger the question becomes:
Are paranormal investigators actually measuring ghosts — or something far stranger?

The Old Vicarage, Bob the Doll & Real Paranormal Investigation | Scott Kaye — The Daily Detour Paranormal | Pursuit Of The Paranormal
Episode 384
Show notes
What happens when someone who never really believed in the paranormal suddenly finds themselves running a haunted location?
This week on Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash are joined by Scott Kaye from The Daily Detour Paranormalfor a brilliant conversation about how a spontaneous paranormal investigation turned into an obsession — and eventually led Scott and the team to take over The Old Vicarage in Wakefield as their own investigation location.
Scott takes us right back to the beginning, including an early investigation at 30 East Drive, strange REM pod and music-box activity, and the bizarre story of a set of rosary beads that repeatedly disappeared, returned damaged and ultimately ended up locked away in the team’s paranormal museum.
We also get into The Old Vicarage itself and the stories surrounding the building — reported shadow figures, unexplained whistling and knocking, the feeling of being watched, physical sensations experienced by investigators and the story of a supposed Victorian boy named Jack associated with the basement.
Then there are the objects.
Scott talks about The Vault, the Vicarage’s collection of supposedly haunted and historic items, including a new object allegedly connected with a young boy — and Bob the Clown, an object with a history connected to My Haunted Hotel / The Old King’s Head in Chester before eventually finding its way to The Daily Detour.
But what makes this conversation particularly interesting is Scott’s willingness to question his own experiences. Even after moments that felt completely paranormal at the time, he talks openly about going back afterwards, looking for ordinary explanations and asking whether an experience really proves anything at all.
And there’s one experience he still struggles to explain: while investigating The Junction Inn, Scott says he heard what sounded like a young girl crying — almost immediately followed by a REM pod activating in another room. It remains one of the moments that has stayed with him most. Pasted text.txtTXT
We talk haunted locations, attachments, haunted objects, investigation methods, belief vs scepticism, paranormal equipment, building a new investigation team and what comes next for The Daily Detour Paranormal.

The Nice Ones: UFOs, Consciousness & the Alien “Mind Virus” — Peter Stylianou
Episode 383
Show notes
What if an alien invasion didn't arrive in spaceships?
What if it arrived as an idea?
This week, Greg and Ash are joined by filmmaker Peter Stylianou, writer and director of the new UFO/sci-fi horror film THE NICE ONES.
Inspired partly by the strange social psychology Peter observed during lockdown, THE NICE ONES explores what he describes as a kind of “mind virus” — people believing they are acting for the greater good while becoming increasingly incapable of seeing themselves reflected in the people they oppose.
That idea eventually became something much darker:
“Maybe the mind virus is the alien.”
But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when Peter reveals an extraordinary personal experience.
Years ago in Camden, Peter says he looked at a man he knew and noticed something deeply strange about his eyes.
At first, Peter assumed he was wearing novelty contact lenses.
Then the man blinked.
And his eyes appeared completely normal.
Peter doesn't claim to know what happened.
He considers unusual lighting, perception, psychology and even the possibility that his own subconscious created an image to warn him about the person.
But he also leaves open another possibility:
What if he actually saw something?
That experience became one of the inspirations behind THE NICE ONES.
From there, the conversation moves deep into the territory Pursuit listeners know and love — UFOs and UAP, consciousness, interdimensional theories, Carl Jung, manifestation, poltergeist phenomena, astral travel, spiritual experiences and the question of whether some paranormal encounters might exist somewhere between an external phenomenon and the human mind.
We also discuss the viral “that motherf***er is not real” plane incident and how the experience of suddenly becoming the focus of millions of people helped inspire the film's protagonist.
And Peter takes us behind the camera to reveal how an independent filmmaker creates ambitious sci-fi on a micro-budget, why one enormous manor house became multiple locations, the realities of film distribution and why actually paying to watch independent films matters.
Plus:
The McPherson Tape.
Paranormal Activity.
Dogman.
Project Blue Beam.
Spiritual protection.
Strange synchronicities.
And why the things we cannot see may be far more frightening than the monsters we can.
This one goes places.

Crop Circles ARE Man-Made… So Why Does Something Else Keep Showing Up? | Citizen D
Episode 382
Show notes
What if the biggest misconception about crop circles isn't that they're made by humans...
…but that human involvement means the mystery is solved?
In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash are joined by Citizen D, journalist, author and former crop-circle maker, to explore the extraordinary hidden world behind one of Britain's most misunderstood phenomena.
Citizen D is the author of It Can't Be People: Voices from the Inner Circle, a book built around first-hand accounts from the people who have actually gone into the fields at night and created crop formations.
And what they report completely changes the conversation.
Yes — humans can create astonishingly complex crop circles.
But according to Citizen D and other experienced makers, that is only the beginning.
We get into:
• how crop circles are really designed and constructed in darkness;
• why Wiltshire, Avebury and other ancient landscapes repeatedly become the centre of the phenomenon;
• mysterious orbs and lights appearing during and after formations are made;
• separate teams independently creating virtually identical designs;
• dreams and compulsions apparently directing makers toward specific symbols and fields;
• unexplained additions appearing in formations after their creators have left;
• strange figures and presences encountered in the fields;
• the Oz Factor and whether anomalous experiences can temporarily alter perception;
• synchronicities that seem almost impossible to dismiss as coincidence;
• whether crop-circle makers are creating the phenomenon — or somehow participating in something much larger.Greg also shares his own experience inside the enormous Jellyfish crop circle near Wayland's Smithy, leading to a revelation from Citizen D about who actually made it — and the bizarre story behind its design.
The conversation eventually arrives at a much stranger possibility:
What if crop circles are human-made… but not entirely human-directed?
Are the makers unconsciously communicating with one another?
Are they accessing some shared field of information?
Or is a non-human intelligence interacting with the process?
Citizen D doesn't claim to have the answer.
And that's exactly what makes this conversation so fascinating.
📖 It Can't Be People: Voices from the Inner Circle by Citizen D is available in paperback, Kindle and audiobook.

The Dark History of Vampires: Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Mercy Brown & The Origins of Vampire Myths
Episode 381
Show notes
Where did vampires really come from? And why have humans been afraid of them for thousands of years?
From ancient Mesopotamia and Eastern European folklore to Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Mercy Brown and modern vampire culture, this episode explores the dark and fascinating history behind one of the world's most enduring monsters.
Long before vampires became seductive, mysterious characters in films and television, they were feared as undead creatures blamed for disease, death and unexplained tragedies.
In this episode, we uncover:
🧛 The ancient origins of vampire legends — from Mesopotamia and ancient Greece to the vampire folklore of Eastern Europe.
🩸 The diseases that may have inspired vampire myths, including porphyria, rabies and tuberculosis — and why symptoms such as sensitivity to sunlight, aggressive behaviour and changes to the body may have helped create the vampire legend.
⚰️ The horrifying case of Mercy Brown, the young woman from Rhode Island who became known as the "last American vampire" after her family and community believed she was responsible for spreading tuberculosis.
🗡️ The real story of Vlad the Impaler — the brutal Wallachian ruler whose terrifying reputation helped inspire Bram Stoker's Dracula.
📖 How Dracula changed everything, from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel to Bela Lugosi's iconic portrayal and the creation of the modern vampire.
🎬 Vampires in popular culture, from Dracula and Interview with the Vampire to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries.
🩸 Modern vampire communities and real-life vampires, including sanguinarians, energy vampires and some of the darker stories surrounding the modern vampire subculture.
But perhaps the biggest question is this:
Were vampire legends really about monsters… or were they humanity's attempt to explain death, disease and the things we didn't understand?
This is the dark history of vampires — a journey through folklore, disease, death, superstition and the real people behind some of the world's most terrifying legends.
If you enjoy true history, dark history, horror, folklore, unexplained mysteries and the origins of legendary creatures, this episode is for you.

Close Encounters of the Police Kind | Inspector Roy Teague on UFOs, UAP & Unexplained Police Cases
Episode 380
Show notes
What happens when the people trained to observe, investigate and report the facts encounter something they simply cannot explain? In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, we speak with Inspector Roy Teague about his new book, Close Encounters of the Police Kind, which explores extraordinary accounts of UFOs, UAP, strange lights and unexplained phenomena witnessed by serving and former British police officers. These aren’t stories from anonymous internet posts. They come from people whose careers depended on observation, accuracy and giving reliable accounts of what they witnessed. We talk to Roy about some of the incredible cases featured in the book, why police officers have historically been reluctant to speak publicly about paranormal or UFO encounters, how these incidents were treated within the force, and whether attitudes towards UAP are finally beginning to change. We also ask the bigger question: when trained police witnesses report seeing something impossible, how seriously should we take their testimony?

Sean Webb: The UFO Mystery Isn't About Aliens... It's About Consciousness
Episode 379
Show notes
What if the biggest mystery isn't UFOs... but consciousness itself? In this fascinating episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash are joined by Sean Webb, author of NHI Connected Mind, to explore one of the most thought-provoking theories in modern consciousness research. Sean believes the phenomenon extends far beyond spacecraft and extraterrestrials. Instead, he argues that Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), consciousness, artificial intelligence, and humanity's future may all be deeply connected.
During this conversation we discuss:
👽 Sean's personal NHI experiences
🧠 Is consciousness fundamental to AI?
🤖 Why AI could become humanity's greatest challenge—or greatest ally
🔒 Government interest in consciousness research
❤️ Why compassion could be the missing ingredient in advanced AI
🔮 What the future of humanity may look like Whether you're interested in UFOs, consciousness, artificial intelligence or the biggest questions about reality itself, this is a conversation that will challenge how you think about the phenomenon.
If a super-intelligent AI and a UFO pilot both claimed to have a soul, who would you believe first?
👇 Let us know your thoughts in the comments: Is consciousness the key to understanding NHI?

Can Consciousness Summon UFOs? | Patrick Scott Armstrong | Psionics
Episode 377
Show notes
The UFO conversation has changed dramatically in recent years. Whistleblowers, military encounters and government disclosures have pushed the phenomenon into the mainstream—but what if the biggest mystery isn't in the sky... but in the human mind?
We noticed some small quality issues after the recording and editing. Please accept purchase apologies.
In this fascinating episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg is joined by Psionics: The Minds That Summon UFOs' Patrick Scott Armstrong, presenter of the documentary and host of the hugely popular Vetted podcast.
Together, they discuss the making of the film, which follows people who believe consciousness itself may play a role in UFO encounters. Over the course of a year, the filmmakers documented contact experiments across the United States and the UK, approaching the subject with open minds and no predetermined conclusions.
We explore:
• Could consciousness be connected to the UFO phenomenon?
• What really happened during the filming of Psionics?

Episode 375
Show notes
This episode delves into the intriguing world of the Talika Arms, a pub situated in Hollywell, North Wales, which has garnered attention for its documented paranormal activity. I shall elucidate the building's eerie ambiance, characterized by boarded windows and a haunting silence, which contributes to its reputation as a site of spectral occurrences. Unlike many other establishments of its kind, the Talika Arms is notable for its history of verified reports of supernatural events, as chronicled in local news and planning documents. As we explore the narratives surrounding this location, it becomes evident that the spectral phenomena intensified following its closure in 2018, rather than abating. Thus, we invite you to join us as we uncover the unsettling tales that have emerged from this historically charged site and its surroundings, shedding light on the curious intersection of history and ghostly legends. The discussion navigates the eerie and historically rich landscape of the Talika Arms, a pub located in the town of Hollywell, North Wales. The building, which has stood since the 19th century, presents a façade that inherently suggests a spectral presence, characterized by boarded windows and peeling paint, alongside the heavy silence typical of abandoned structures. Despite its dilapidated state, the Talika Arms is distinguished by its documented history of paranormal activity, which transcends mere folk tales and urban legends. Reports from credible news sources and official planning documents substantiate claims of strange occurrences, including inexplicable phenomena such as locked doors opening mysteriously, missing bottles, and flickering light bulbs, all witnessed not just by patrons but by those involved in its redevelopment. These incidents intensify the intrigue surrounding the building, particularly as they have reportedly escalated since its closure in 2018, suggesting a restless energy that continues to permeate its walls. The narrative also examines the broader context of Hollywell as a historically significant corridor, which has served pilgrims, workers, and travelers over generations. It posits that the intersection of such diverse human experiences could contribute to the residual energy believed to foster hauntings. The mention of local media coverage further amplifies the pub's notoriety, as aspects of its haunting are discussed not only in ghostly terms but also in the context of urban redevelopment, merging the realms of the supernatural and the tangible. This duality encapsulates the essence of the Talika Arms as both a physical structure and a vessel of history, where the past and present converge in a haunting narrative. Subsequent discussions venture into other haunted establishments in Hollywell, such as the Old Wine Vaults and the Boar's Head, each with their own tales of paranormal encounters that further enrich the town's spectral tapestry. These establishments contribute to a broader discourse on how shared experiences of the supernatural can create a collective memory that binds locals and visitors alike, affirming the enduring allure of haunted places and the stories they tell.
