When Walls Can Talk: The Podcast | Where Paranormal Mysteries and Dark History Collide

Are you brave enough to join us on a chilling journey through time as we unmask the haunting mysteries of the infamous Borley Rectory? Nestled in the annals of history, this house holds tales of spectral nuns, enigmatic monks, and phantom horse-drawn carriages. We ask the unsettling question - can walls truly speak?
Journey with us as we recount the lives of those who called Borley Rectory home, from the Bull family and their supernatural tales, to the subsequent inhabitants, Guy Eric Smith and Mabel Hart. We peel back the layers of mystery that surround the spine-tingling encounter of the founder of the National Laboratory of Psychical Research, Harry Price, with the Rectory's legendary nun's ghost. Listen to the eerie tales of Reverend Lionel Feuster and his family's peculiar experiences after moving into the Rectory, and discover how the Wall Street Crash of 1929 played a role in shaping the Rectory's history.
Finally, we weave together the strange happenings during Harry Price's investigation, the odd occurrences leading up to the Rectory's fiery end, and the subsequent excavation of the Rectory, revealing unexpected finds. This is no simple ghost story; it's a tantalizing tapestry of haunted history that will keep you at the edge of your seat. Join us, if you dare.

Have you ever stood on the precipice of the unknown, questioning whether you should step forward into the chilling embrace of the supernatural or take a step back, keeping your feet firmly planted in the realm of the understood and the mundane? Join us as we journey into the icy heart of the Wendigo, a terrifying entity from Algonquin folklore, whose story is not just a chilling tale but a haunting exploration of the human psyche. Our discussion spans from its chilling portrayals in popular culture, such as Stephen King's Pet Cemetery and the thrilling series Hannibal, to the symbolism it holds in North American storytelling.
This is no ordinary discussion; I share my own spine-chilling encounter with the Wendigo in the Rockies, an experience that forever changed my understanding of the supernatural. This singular encounter, a brush with the raw, wild face of horror, sparked a passion for exploring the unknown that I've carried with me ever since. We tease apart the human capacity for transformation, the line between man and beast, and the terrifying potential for the monstrous within us all.
In our final act, we examine the Wendigo’s physical characteristics, preferred hunting ground, and how its legend has evolved over time. We hear stories of men overtaken by an insatiable hunger, drawing comparisons to legends of werewolves and pondering the nature of human transformation. Throughout, we challenge you to ask yourself: How would I react when faced with the unknown? Are we more beast than we'd care to admit? Join us, share in our exploration of the Wendigo legend, and dare to uncover the mysteries of the universe.
