I Grew Up in a Haunted House

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT

In this episode of The Strange Thing About: Ghost Stories, Santana Maynard shares a lifelong account of growing up in a secluded, haunted home in the West Virginia woods.

IN THIS EPISODE: Santana recounts the heavy footsteps that stopped at her bedroom door every night, the mimic voices calling her name, and the terrifying "woman in white" at the foot of her bed. When she finally uses a Ouija board at age 16 to get answers, she uncovers the dark history of "Clara"—a previous tenant with a violent past.

But the most shocking part of this real ghost story isn't the haunting—it's how it ended. Following a family pact made in jest, Santana’s grandmother seemingly fulfilled a promise from beyond the grave.

The Haunting of the Mystic Museum

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 19:45:01 GMT

A Real Ghost Encounter Told by Erick Yaro Wessel, Proprietor of the Mystic Musuem in Burbank, California

"She's attached to me." In the second episode of The Strange Thing About: Ghost Stories, we step inside the world-renowned Mystic Museum in Burbank. Known for its collection of mortuary artifacts and occult oddities, the museum recently became the site of an undeniable haunting.

The Story: It began with a door. A heavy Victorian door purchased from a salvage yard in North Hollywood to complete a new seance parlor. But as soon as the door was installed, the atmosphere of the shop changed.

Staff and customers began reporting the same thing: the sound of a little girl giggling and a figure in a white dress playing "peek-a-boo" through construction barriers. When the proprieter stayed late one night to investigate, he encountered a burst of cold wind and a giggle inches from his ear—only to find the security cameras frozen at exactly 3:00 AM.

The Evidence:

• The Security Loop: Footage that showed Erick talking to empty air, while the playback revealed a small hand reaching out for his shoulder.
• The Fingerprints: Tiny, child-sized marks appearing on the inside of locked display cases.
• The Witness Accounts: Visitors to the museum asking the same question: "Who is the little girl following you?"

Part 2 of The Strange Thing About Luna - "Moving Past the Past"

The tension reaches a breaking point. Jimmy has returned, not for a reunion, but for a reckoning.

As Jimmy and Julia face off, the dark truth about their childhood, the death of their brother William, and their parents, as well as the mysterious passing of Julia’s husband, Thomas, comes to light. Betrayals are confessed, and motives are questioned: When Jimmy ran away from home, or did Julia stay out of fear, or was it to secure the Vanhorn family inheritance?

Caught in the crossfire of this bitter sibling rivalry is Samantha. But as Julia’s parenting takes a sinister turn towards the abusive, and the threat of a night in the basement, a new voice emerges from the shadows. Samantha is not alone....

She didn't want this to happen.
