  • Episode 10: Amityville: Murder, Haunting, Hoax?
    Oct 31 2025

    SEASON 1 FINALE

    Long before the movies, before the sequels, before the endless retellings, there was a real house on Long Island — a home soaked in tragedy, myth, and the human need to explain the unexplainable. In this 90-minute season finale, Lucien V. Crow takes you beyond the headlines and the Hollywood lore to uncover what truly happened inside 112 Ocean Avenue: the DeFeo murders, the Lutz family’s twenty-eight days of terror, the Warrens’ investigation, and the half-century of fear and fascination that followed. Was it possession, deception, or something that lives between? Amityville: Murder, Haunting, Hoax? pulls back every layer of legend until only one question remains — what, if anything, still stirs inside the house that never slept.

  • Episode 9: The Devil in Tennessee: The True Story of the Bell Witch
    Oct 24 2025

    Long before An American Haunting tried to tell her story, there was the real one — whispered through the fields of Adams, Tennessee, in 1817. A voice with no body. A curse with no mercy. And a family whose faith was tested by something far older than sin.

    In this extended Halloween special, True Haunting Files returns to the birthplace of America’s most infamous spirit: the Bell Witch. From the first knock on the cabin wall to the death of John Bell himself, we trace every detail — the witnesses, the prophecies, the cave, and the centuries of fear that followed. Forget Hollywood’s fog and fiction. This is the true story — pulled from frontier journals, court records, and the whispers still echoing by the Red River.

    Turn down the lights. Turn up the volume. The Witch has been waiting.

  • Episode 8: Elm Street Was Real: The Deaths That Inspired a Nightmare
    Oct 16 2025

    They thought Freddy Krueger was fiction. But in the early 1980s, dozens of healthy young men from Southeast Asia began dying mysteriously in their sleep — their hearts stopping after nights filled with screams and terror.

    This episode of True Haunting Files peels back the legend to uncover the horrifying reality behind A Nightmare on Elm Street. From the Hmong spirit known as dab tsog, to global tales of the Old Hag, djinn, Pisadeira, and Boo Hag, we explore how ancient folklore collided with modern science — and how Wes Craven’s inspiration came not from a dream, but from the morgue.

    You’ll hear documented case reports, eyewitness testimony, and the eerie global consistency of the Hat Man — the shadow figure that has haunted millions during sleep paralysis. Science can explain the paralysis. It cannot explain the eyes watching from the corner of the room.

    Because some nightmares don’t end when you wake up.

  • Episode 7: When Strangers Knock
    Oct 9 2025

    They say truth is stranger than fiction — but sometimes, it’s far more terrifying.

    In this episode of Whispers from the Dead, host Lucien V. Crow peels back the mask on The Strangers and the chilling real-life cases that inspired it — from a quiet Texas neighborhood’s mysterious knock, to the senseless savagery of the Manson murders, to the unsolved nightmare of the Keddie Cabin killings.

    These weren’t movie scenes. They were real doors. Real victims. And somewhere out there, someone still knocks in the dark.

    So turn off the lights, lock your doors, and listen close — because evil doesn’t always break in… sometimes it asks permission.

  • The Conjuring House Files
    Oct 2 2025

    Step inside the infamous Harrisville farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring. In this episode, we peel back Hollywood’s version to uncover the chilling true story of the Perron family’s nine-year haunting, Bathsheba Sherman’s cursed legacy, and the Warrens’ failed séance that nearly tore the family apart. Featuring Andrea Perron’s own words and skeptical counterpoints, this is the story of a house that refuses to let go — where fact and fear blur into one terrifying legend.

  • Never Checked Out: Hauntings of New England
    Sep 26 2025

    New England wears its ghosts openly — in taverns where Revolutionary soldiers still drink, in mansions where sea captains pace all night, and in hotels where the founder still checks on his guests from beyond the grave. In this episode of True Haunting Files, Lucian V. Crow guides you through chilling true tales of the White Horse Tavern in Newport, the Captain Lord Mansion in Kennebunkport, the Omni Parker House in Boston, the spectral nun of Dudley Road, and the blood-soaked corridors of the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River. These are the places where history lingers, footsteps echo, and spirits never quite check out.

  • Episode 4: The Villisca Axe Murder House Part 2
    Sep 19 2025

    Eight people were slaughtered in their sleep on a quiet Iowa night in 1912. The crime scene was chaos. The killer vanished. But what never left… was the house.

    In Part 2 of our Villisca case file, we step inside one of America’s most infamous haunted homes. Families fled in terror. Investigators captured chilling EVPs of children crying for “Mama.” Guests reported being scratched, pinned to beds, and even driven to violence. And always, witnesses speak of the shadow man — broad-shouldered, axe in hand — standing silently in the doorway.

    Is Villisca truly haunted, a place where the dead cannot rest? Or has a century of fear and folklore turned a brutal crime into legend? The only way to know… is to walk through that door yourself.

    Enter if you dare.

    (Perfect for fans of true crime, haunted history, and paranormal investigation.)

  • Episode 3: The Villisca Axe Murder House (Part 1)
    Sep 5 2025

    Step inside one of America’s most chilling unsolved crimes: the Villisca Axe Murders of 1912. Eight people, including six children, were slaughtered in their sleep. The nation was horrified. The town of Villisca was never the same.

    In this two-part true crime deep dive, we’ll walk room by room through the night of the killings, the mob-like chaos that destroyed the crime scene, the strange rituals left behind, and the suspects who haunted investigators for decades. Then, we’ll descend into the hauntings — the whispers, shadows, and restless spirits said to linger in the house to this day.

    Equal parts history and horror, this is not just the story of a crime; it is also the story of a nation. It’s the story of a wound that never healed.
