Our Editor's Take

The Grave Talks - Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural is more than a regular paranormal podcast. This show combines true crime, history, interviews, and ghosts, into one compelling package.

Tony Brueski, a former country radio host, started his journey into podcasting in 2014. Since he loved hearing ghost stories so much, he thought it would be a fun idea for a show. So he set up a phone number and website where people share their stories. That was the premise of his first podcast, Real Ghost Stories Online. He played back the calls and read the stories with his cohost in a fun, lighthearted way. At the time, this format was new in the paranormal field and was a risk. But it was a risk worth taking. To the host's amazement, the listeners grew at a rapid pace. What started as a hobby soon became Brueski's full-time career. This led to the creation of The Grave Talks - Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural podcast.

With this podcast, Brueski brings the paranormal concept a step further. It's almost the celebrity version of the format. The host talks to people who lived and survived some infamous haunted locations. One example is in the episode “The Dead House.” There, Brueski explores the story of The Park Hotel, a mysterious resort in England. Brueski interviews the paranormal investigations expert Andy Moore, who stayed in the hotel. In another episode of The Grave Talks, the host examines spooky encounters at the White House. With the help of author Jeff Belanger, he learns the story of one of the most haunted homes in America.

In each podcast episode, Brueski lets the guest lead the conversation. The host only interjects with quick followup questions to make them reveal more of the story. Thanks to his skilled interviewing style, the speaker unfolds the scariest and most unnerving insights. The Grave Talks - Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural also has “Grave Confessions” episodes. In those episodes, fans still get to phone in their own tales. This show has new episodes on a regular basis that may both entertain and scare listeners.
