Ghosteas

We're in the middle of Appalachia April and loving every second of it! Today we have a fresh batch of scary stories from this ancient place, complete with all the typical hallmarks of this haunted set of mountains: mimics, creatures in the woods, and haunted houses. We hope you have a spooky time! This week's Tea: Harney & Sons Vanilla Comoro Share your stories with us: ghosteaspod@gmail.com Follo...

Most of the time, when we think of Appalachia we think of the southern mountain ranges – places like Kentucky, West Virginia, and North Carolina. But the Appalachian Mountain Range technically stretches from Alabama to Newfoundland, and the Scottish Highlands are even believed to have once been a part of this ancient land when Pangea was formed. So I thought we'd dedicate an episode during Appalac...

We all love a good haunted house story. Hearing about strange noises in the night from a ghost with a backstory is exactly how I like to spend my time. What makes a haunted house even spookier, in my opinion, is knowing that the home sits on land that is ancient and mysterious. Haunted houses in Appalachia are automatically something next level creepy, and so today that’s what I’m bringing to you....

Spooky stories from Appalachia have blown up over the years and lucky for us, there is no shortage of first-hand tales from people who live in the region online. So for today, I scoured Reddit for some of the strangest and scariest paranormal stories set in Appalachia. The stories range in location and the kind of activity witnessed, but they are all haunting in their own right. From suspected cry...

If you’ve been here with us long enough, then you know we have a borderline obsession with Appalachia. It’s ancient, strange, and down-right spooky! We’ve done several episodes now on some of the legends, lore, and scariest stories to come out of that region and with each new thing that we learn about it, the more I want to know. So, we thought we’d take the month of April (because I love a good m...

Late into the night of September 8, 1972, Minnie Winston was taking a bath before going to bed. It had been a typical warm fall day in the south, and a nice bath was just what she needed to wash away her sweat and any worries she may have had while taking care of her husband. She had always been more of a night owl and her husband, William, the only other person living with her at the time, had be...

We did an entire episode on NDEs a very long time ago, so if you want to learn more about the science behind near death experiences then you can check out episode 5. But today we will be telling stories from you guys that tell of something similar to that phenomenon like an anonymous listener’s grandmother experiencing that classic NDE before she ultimately passed, but also several that are a litt...

We often ask a question here on the pod – can people manifest their own hauntings. We know that hauntings have occurred via summoning with objects like ouija boards. There are also residual hauntings from large amounts of spiritual energy being imprinted on to a space, like traumatic or extremely happy moments or even repetitive events that leave their mark on a home or a piece of land that can st...

We hope that the end of winter brings solace to those of you looking forward to Spring! But of course, here at Ghosteas, we’ll always be willing to provide you with a good, spooky chill, and that’s exactly what we have for you today. We have stories of very old, haunted houses, a haunted prison visit, and a personal obsession of ours, sleep paralysis! So cut the lights, grab your tea, and let’s ge...

Poland is a country with a very long and turbulent history. Its ancient roots go back thousands of years when it was believed that a diverse population of ethnic groups inhabited the land of present-day Poland long before the first ruling dynasty took over in the 10th century. It has seen many rulers with different ideals of how a nation should be led. It's been through war where countless people...

Happy Friday the 13th Ghosteas! To get in the spirit of this spooky day, I thought we’d tell some of the most spookiest kinds of stories. Today we’re talking Ouija Boards and somehow also Appalachia. Two of the scariest and, in my opinion, most interesting topics we’ve covered here on the pod. It’s a bit of a long one, so get your tea and your blanket and we’ll go through this together. This week'...

When it comes to haunted locations, we all know prisons will nearly always make the list. But what kind of paranormal activity can you expect from a place known for its cruel and unusual methods? What kind of darkness lies in wait when the building was used for punishment that is known to have driven some mad, that is if they survived it at all. Today, we’re talking about one such place. The Easte...

We hope you’re having a lovely Friday and are ready for a chill! Today’s listener stories, as always, require a good blanket and a warm cup of tea. We have tales of haunted childhood homes that still haunt the dreams of our listeners long after they’ve moved away, suspected sleep paralysis demons that take violent action, grim reaper figures stalking someone’s neighborhood, and a possible message...

We’ve had a topic like this before, and I have wanted to return to it for so long! So when our Patrons chose this topic I was ecstatic. Today we are returning to our hometown haunts theme! Growing up, most of us have lived in a town with a strange, spooky legend or two. If there is an old, abandoned house down the street that your friend has seen the lights going on or off in the night, or if ther...

Today's episode is a fun one! For this bonus episode we're telling paranormal tales with a fellow paranormal podcast, ⁨ @BelievingtheBizarre . We're telling stories of Haunted Ohio in honor of our guests. We have a few listener stories set in this spooky state with haunted houses, an abandoned asylum, and possibly a mimic! We hope you have as much fun as we did! Check out Believing the Bizarre Lea...

If you’ve been here with us for a little bit, then you know we love dreams. The silly, the strange, and more importantly, the spooky! So I thought that since we were talking about dreams earlier this week with the Backrooms and Mall World episode (if you haven’t watched that yet, go check it out) now would be the perfect time to do our episode on dreams. So I’ve gathered a few dreams from our list...

Today’s episode is going to be a little different. It started with a topic chosen by Patreon, but as I was doing my research, it went in a strange direction. So let’s get weird for a little bit. Today we are talking about liminal spaces, dreams, and what could be a shared dreamscape between people who have never met one another. It’s almost a continuation of a topic we talked about on Patreon a fe...

Haunted bathroom, sleep paralysis, motion sensor ghost bird for 2 stories for some reason. Many long-time hauntings. Just a mix of horror! This week's Tea: Edinburgh Tea & Coffee Co.

Deep beneath the surface of the water, at the bottom of this manmade lake, sits the ruins of a once prosperous town. It’s frozen in time, bridges, roads, and even some buildings still in the same place they were 70 years ago when the river valley was flooded. Lake Lanier, today, is a vacation destination to millions who live in the Southern US, but that land beneath the water holds a history of vi...

Happy FIRST Friday the 13th of the year! We thought for today’s episode we would take on a theme that is eerie and unsettling… shadow figures! There is almost nothing more mysterious and chilling than a shadow that’s darker than night creeping through your home and watching you. We have plenty of stories from our listeners who have experienced just that! This week's Tea: Republic of Tea Vanilla Al...

From 1886 to 1922 construction on this 24,000 square foot mansion is said to have been near constant. Today there are 10,000 windows, 2,000 doors, and 160 rooms in this house, but at one point it was 7 stories high in some places and thought to have had more than 500 rooms within. There are many rumors swirling about this house and its origins. Some say it was the work of an eccentric woman with s...

Have you ever looked at someone you’ve just met and gotten an uneasy feeling? You’re not sure why, they seem pleasant enough, but there’s just this feeling in the pit of your stomach that something isn’t adding up. Or maybe you are about to walk out of your door for the day, but as you turn the handle, there is something in your chest that makes you feel as though you shouldn’t go to that event. S...

We are gathered here today to do our duty in telling chilling stories for the long winter nights, and today we have a good variety of tales to haunt you. We have dreams that may or may not indicate a dark presence is near. We have a quick story of a haunted doll that, story goes, can move on its own. As well as a story of a horrifying sleep paralysis banshee… I hope you have your coziest blanket a...

This week we are returning to England once again and talking about one of the most documented cases of a haunting probably ever! For nearly 18 months, a family of 5 was tormented by what some refer to as a poltergeist, and there were more than 30 witnesses who not only saw for themselves but captured photos and audio recordings of the activity. What started with knocking and objects moving around...
