Growing up in a haunted house is one thing. Growing up haunted is another. In this episode, Kelly’s daughter, Emily, joins us to talk about what it was like growing up in her family’s haunted house, the strange activity that felt normal to her as a kid, and the early signs that whatever was there may not have been tied to the house alone.

From shadow figures and ghostly pets to the feeling of never really being alone, this is a personal family story about living with the unexplained. If you love haunted house episodes with real history, family perspective, and the unsettling possibility of a spirit attachment, this one sets the stage for all of it.

⚠️ Content Warning: Brief discussion of grief, trauma, mental health, and unsettling paranormal experiences.

Question for the Comments

Do you think some hauntings are tied to a place, or can something actually follow a person?

Some mysteries stick around because they are terrifying. Others stick around because they are just plain weird. This one is both. In this episode, we’re digging into the bizarre footage that launched the Fresno Nightcrawlers into cryptid legend, plus the theories, the follow-up sightings, and the reason these strange little walking pants still have people arguing all these years later.

The Dixie House sits in St. Augustine with a history that doesn’t scream “haunted” at first glance — but the stories inside it do. We were told there are multiple spirits tied to the house, including a child spirit in the bathroom, a haunted doll kept sealed away, and even a possible portal. There’s also a claim that the house is connected to one of St. Augustine’s most notoriously haunted sites, which raises the question: is this place active on its own… or part of something bigger? So we booked a two-hour private investigation and went in.
