A police officer watches a chair slide across a room. A family's mysterious visitor seems to answer when spoken to. In a Florida warehouse, ordinary souvenirs begin flying from the shelves.

And in each case, one question remains: What was moving them?

This week on Voices From The Attic, Terri and Andrew explore the strange and sometimes frightening world of poltergeists—from centuries-old folklore and the mischievous Old Jeffrey to the infamous Enfield, Seaford, and Miami cases.

They also share a personal experience with unexplained moving objects and explore an intriguing possibility: What if some poltergeist activity comes not from the dead, but from the emotions of the living?

Ghosts, tricks, psychokinesis, or something else entirely?

Sometimes the most frightening thing about a haunted house isn't what you see. It's what you hear moving when nobody is there.

Dolls are supposed to be comforting. Familiar faces, childhood companions, and treasured keepsakes. So why do some become objects of fear?

Surrounded by antique dolls in a historic Illinois home, Terri and Andrew T. explore some of the world's most unsettling haunted doll legends.

From the infamous Annabelle and Mexico's mysterious Island of the Dolls to a porcelain figure that reportedly escaped a sealed box, these stories raise a disturbing question: what actually makes a doll haunted?

We also travel to Japan for the legend of Okiku, a doll whose supposedly growing hair hides a surprisingly heartbreaking story of childhood, loss, and remembrance.

Are these dolls connected to spirits, shaped by powerful memories, or transformed by generations of storytelling?

Join us as we explore the strange history, paranormal claims, and folklore behind the toys that refuse to be forgotten.

And perhaps keep an eye on the dolls behind us.

What if some houses aren't haunted because something terrible happened there—but because the people who loved them never wanted to leave?

Terri and Andrew record on location inside Freeport, Illinois's historic Taylor House, where Terri shares her own unexplained experiences along with strange stories from former museum staff: clocks that shouldn't work, footsteps with no footprints, unexplained scents, rattling doors, and a memorable paranormal investigation in the basement.

Then they venture beyond Bohemiana to two more Midwestern haunted houses: the infamous Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas, where the experiences may be better documented than the ghost's supposed identity, and Tinker Swiss Cottage in Rockford, Illinois, where visitors have reported mysterious women, disembodied voices, moving objects, and other unexpected guests.

Some houses hold history. Some hold memories. And some, perhaps, hold onto the people who once called them home.

Mirrors are supposed to show us what’s already there. But for centuries, people have treated them as something more.

This week, Terri and Andrew explore the strange folklore surrounding mirrors: scrying and divination, John Dee’s obsidian “magic mirror,” traditions of covering mirrors after a death, apparitions seen only in reflections, and the evolution of Bloody Mary and Mary Worth.

They also dive into Raymond Moody’s unusual mirror experiments, in which participants attempted to encounter deceased loved ones—and some reported experiences far stranger than anyone expected.

Are mirrors simply perfect environments for suggestion and illusion? Or is there something about staring into the glass that makes us wonder whether a reflection can sometimes become a doorway?

And if something does appear… what exactly is looking back?

Before vampires were pale aristocrats in capes, they were something much stranger: dangerous dead people believed to return home, spread sickness, suffocate sleepers, and drain life from the living.

In this episode, we follow the vampire from early folklore and documented 18th-century exhumations through Polidori, Varney, Carmilla, Dracula, and the familiar vampire “rules” we inherited from books and movies.

Then we move into modern psychic and energy vampire beliefs, including a disturbing personal experience from Terri and contemporary accounts from people who believe they encountered something vampiric.

Along the way, we ask which vampire weaknesses actually come from old folklore, which were created by fiction, and why the monster has changed so dramatically while one idea remains the same: Something is taking vitality from the living.

If death is a door, Spiritualism grew from the belief that the living could knock—and something on the other side might knock back.

Terri and Andrew explore the strange history of communicating with the dead, from the Fox Sisters and Victorian séances to spirit photography, Harry Price, Borley Rectory, the rise of paranormal investigation, and the Ouija board. Terri also shares a chilling séance experience from her teenage years before the episode returns to the mystery that opened it: Pearl Curran and Patience Worth, the supposed spirit responsible for nearly four million words of writing.

There are hoaxes, genuine mysteries, grieving families, skeptics, believers, and more than a few unanswered questions.

Because hearing an answer is one thing. Knowing who—or what—answered is something else entirely.

What does it take for an ordinary neighbor to become the town witch?

Across the Midwest, stories survived of women blamed for strange illnesses, failed crops, unexplained deaths and supposed hexes. In Southern Illinois, crowds gathered to watch two sisters who claimed they had been bewitched. In Cincinnati, children became convinced that an elderly woman reading by candlelight was practicing magic. And in Rochester, Indiana, Irene Ray's reputation became so frightening that residents eventually demanded she be prosecuted for witchcraft.

Andrew and Terri explore those stories alongside old Midwestern witch folklore, the complicated history of folk healers and accusations, modern Wicca and contemporary witchcraft, Chicago's extraordinary mail-order occult industry, and the legends that transformed Whitewater, Wisconsin into the so-called “Second Salem.”

Because sometimes the strangest part of a witch story isn't the magic.

It's how certain everyone becomes that the witch is real.

School buildings are filled with generations of memories, rumors, tragedies—and ghost stories.

This week, Terri and Andrew explore haunted schools: a mysterious visitor who had been dead for decades, an Illinois junior high allegedly haunted by a nun, the strange 19th-century saga of Pink Lizzie, apparitions in school theaters, ghost stories passed between generations of students, and a high school built over a cemetery where human remains were eventually uncovered.

Along the way, we examine why the same legends keep appearing in schools around the world, where folklore ends and documented history begins, and why an empty school after dark can feel like one of the creepiest places imaginable.

Class dismissed.

The ghosts may have other plans.
