    Her Lips Never Moved: The Demonic Possession of Elizabeth Knapp

    Twenty years before the Salem witch trials, something terrifying was happening in Lindsey's hometown.  In 1671, 16 year-old Elizabeth Knapp began suffering violent fits, claiming she'd encountered the Devil. Then something even stranger happened: a voice seemed to speak through her while her lips remained still.  Was Elizabeth Knapp possessed? Was there another explanation for what happened to her? Or were the people around her witnessing something they simply couldn't understand? This Halloween, we're going back to Groton, Massachusetts, to uncover the strange story of Elizabeth Knapp, one of the earliest and well documented alleged cases of demonic possession in America. 🎙️ Love creepy history?

    Amityville Horror: What Really Happened in This Haunted House

    Lindsey and Nancy are opening the case files on 112 Ocean Avenue to uncover the chilling reality behind The Amityville Horror. In December 1975, George and Kathleen Lutz moved into their dream home. Just 28 days later, they fled in absolute terror. They claimed to be plagued by demonic possessions, terrifying apparitions, and waking up every night at 3:15 AM—the exact time a brutal true crime nightmare had occurred in the house just one year prior. But what actually happened during those 28 days of terror? From the dark history of the DeFeo family to the shadowy figures caught on camera by paranormal investigators, we break down the evidence that Hollywood left out. Was it a genuine portal to hell, or a brilliant financial scam cooked up over a bottle of wine? The truth is far more complicated, and sinister, than you think. Turn off the lights, lock your doors, and press play to find out what really happened inside America’s most infamous haunted house. Hit Subscribe or Follow on Apple Podcasts to never miss a scare!

    In 1952, a group of terrified West Virginia witnesses said they saw something that looked like it came from another world. After a strange object appeared over Flatwoods, several people climbed a hill and reported encountering a bizarre figure with a glowing red face, strange body, and an unsettling way of moving. Was it an extraterrestrial creature, a terrifying misidentification, or something else entirely? We dig into the original accounts, the strange details, the skeptical explanations, and how a frightening night in a small Appalachian town became one of America's most famous UFO stories.

    The Stanley Hotel: Ghosts, Hauntings & The Story Behind Stephen King's "The Shining"

    What if a hotel could remember everyone who ever stayed there? The Stanley Hotel in Colorado has welcomed guests since 1909, but some say not everyone ever checked out. In this episode, Lindsey and Nancy explore the history and reported hauntings of one of America's most famous haunted hotels. From mysterious footsteps and phantom piano music to Room 217 and the ghostly stories surrounding F.O. and Flora Stanley, we're separating the history from the legend. And then there's Stephen King. His stay at the nearly empty Stanley Hotel in 1974 inspired The Shining, forever connecting this grand Colorado hotel with one of the most famous horror stories ever written. But is the Stanley actually haunted? Or does something about an old hotel, filled with generations of memories, make us expect the ghosts to be there? Come check in with us. Just don't be surprised if something else checks in too.  Keep in Touch Facebook Instagram Share Your Ghost Story: Inheritedhauntings@gmail.com Merch  Enjoyed the episode?

    The Exeter Incident: New Hampshire’s UFO Encounter That Terrified a Town

    61 years ago this month, something very strange happened just outside of Exeter, New Hampshire. On September 3, 1965, 18 year old Norman Muscarello reported seeing a large object with brilliant red lights near a farm in Kensington NH. What makes the story especially interesting is that when Exeter police officers arrived to investigate, they reported seeing the object too. And now, 61 years later, Exeter is getting ready for its annual UFO Festival this weekend.  That made us think of an episode we did last year about the Incident at Exeter, so I thought I'd bring it back up for anyone who missed it, or anyone who's in the mood for a little UFO rabbit hole this weekend.  It's one of those cases where you can keep asking the same question: What exactly did they see that night? And if you're anywhere near Exeter this weekend, the UFO Festival is happening downtown Saturday and Sunday 9/5-9/6/26 with speakers, activities, historical presentations and trolley tours to the original incident site. Have your own ghost story? We want to hear it! Send your strange, unexplained, or downright creepy experiences to InheritedHauntings@gmail.com. Your story might even become part of a future episode.

    The Dodleston Messages: A Haunted Computer, a 16th-Century Ghost & Messages from 2109

    In 1984, a borrowed school computer in a quiet English cottage began receiving messages from a man who claimed to live in 1546… and later from someone in the year 2109. In this episode, Lindsey and Nancy dig into one of the strangest modern paranormal cases on record: the Dodleston Messages. A glowing “box of lights,” archaic English accusations of house-theft, a possible Tudor ghost named Thomas Harden, and cryptic communications from the future. Was it an elaborate hoax, a genuine time slip, or something even weirder? Settle in for a story that somehow manages to be both deeply unsettling and quietly ridiculous. ☕ Want to keep the late-night research (and questionable life choices) going?

    The Green Children of Woolpit: Ancient Aliens or a Glitch in the Matrix?

    Two green children walk out of a forest speaking an unknown language. This isn't a fairy tale, it’s recorded in medieval history records.

Grab your beans (you’ll understand why) and settle in for a story that’s equal parts creepy, fascinating, and just weird enough to keep you up at night. ☕ Want to keep the hauntings coming?  Buy us a coffee   It fuels the late-night research and questionable life choices. 👕 Check out our merch if you like your paranormal with a side of dark humor. 📸 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for behind-the-scenes chaos and extra spooky content. ✉️ Got a strange story or just want to say hi?
