Episode 43: The Forsaken Flatmate

The Southern Appalachian mountains have their own kind of magic. It evolved out of multiple traditions and the need to survive amidst poverty and a harsh landscape. But much of this magic has been lost through the ages, buried and swallowed by the mountains that birthed it. Today, on the H Files, we piece together legends, superstitions, and my own knowledge from growing up in this region to give you an overview of some of the magic and lore surrounding this area that still continues to be isolated from the rest of the world.

Episode 41: The Haunted Cornfield

The ultimate super-computer—a store-house of energy and electromagnetic pulses—exists within each of our own skulls. With all that energy, it’s no wonder that our brains can have powerful effects on our environments, and can be powerfully affected by forces that we cannot see nor hear. Or can we?Join us today and settle in for a talk that is part science, part philosophy, part ghost story, and part mind-blowing (literally) as we talk about the research and theories behind EMFs and fear cages.

The H Files Episode 3: Haunted Waters of the Holston River

Every city has its tragedies. Some are recent and present in our minds. Some sit in the distant past, mostly forgotten to us as we hustle along the streets to our jobs or our tourist destinations. Whether forgotten or not, these tragedies, these pieces of micro-history nestled within the alleyways or along the sidewalks, shape and mold the very fabric of the city itself. If you stop to look and listen, sometimes you can see how those events changed the place around you. If you stay long enough, you may even hear, see, or feel the ghosts of those who perished in those tragedies, whispering warnings, or trying, desperately, to figure out what went wrong. In this episode, we speak with Andrea, a business owner who got more than she bargained for when she signed a lease for a new storefront with a tragic past.Want to hear more from Andrea?Check out our Andrea's podcasts Podcast Envy and The Creative Imposter, both available at thecreativeimpostor.com.

Episode 39: The Confused Spirits of a Chicago Walk-Up

When I was a child, my mother told me that cemeteries were less haunted than anywhere else, because the souls in a cemetery are at rest. But are they?I’ve since learned that cemeteries, indeed, can be quite haunted. Particularly those cemeteries where every single dead resident has reason to be angry with the living.On this H Files episode, we look at one particular place, right here in America, that claims some of the most bizarre hauntings you’ve probably ever heard of.

The H Files Episode 2: The Most Haunted Cemetery

If you grew up in a haunted house, would you think it’s possible that something from your childhood home was still, somehow, with you? What if you continued to encounter something…unexplainable…at night, on a regular basis, years and years later? Could it be the strange playmates you had from your childhood, just wanting to hang out? Or could it be something a bit more sinister?Today, on Homespun Haints, we talk to Shaun, who’s had a series of strange events plague him since childhood. We’ll let you decide if they’re all random coincidences, or if they’re all, somehow, related. With guest Shaun Nigro, Co-host of The Writer's Block Podcast and co-founder of 8 Sparks Media.

Episode 38: It Still Follows You

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary...How many times did you have to say it before you saw her? She's just an urban legend, so why do we still get creeped out when we are alone at night, in the dark, and we can't hold our own gaze in the mirror? Even though many of us summoned her as tweens, egged on by the daring or mean girls in our group, she never actually popped out of the mirror to get us...but......something...happened. What if Bloody Mary does exist, within the neuroanatomy of our very own brains? Join us as we learn about how our brains manifest and reveal the monster within, today, on the H-files, brought to you by Homespun Haints!For references and more information, please see our show notes at https://homespunhaints.com/have-you-seen-a-face-in-the-mirror-that-is-not-your-ownSupport the show (https://patreon.com/homespunhaints)
