    These Haunted Mines Are TERRIFYING | Real Ghost Stories

    15/09/2026 | 29 mins.
    Each of these five ghost stories comes from a real witness, with firsthand accounts of experiences that they still can’t fully explain.

    From miners witnessing unexplained things in the area where a colleague tragically lost his life, to strange shadowy figures and unsettling poltergeist activity in a mining town factory in the middle of the night.

    To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from a real person’s own claimed experience. Make of them what you will.

    Have you had an unexplained encounter that you would like to share? Tell me your story for a chance to be featured on the channel https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbPjdRwf2UCYVDNsyN_wI7wk0m1oxIqpPWNWe_nliGZ9cIyQ/viewform

    Haunted New Orleans: Ghosts Of The French Quarter (Part 2)

    08/09/2026 | 41 mins.
    When you think of the French Quarter in New Orleans, your mind may immediately think of the iconic Jackson Square, with the cathedral, the street artists, and the imposing Andrew Jackson statue right in the middle of it all.

    While Jackson Square may now be an idyllic stop for tourists and locals alike, its history is far darker, and may explain the unusual goings-on that have been reported long after most visitors have retired for the evening…

    Haunted New Orleans: Ghosts Of The French Quarter (Part 1)

    18/08/2026 | 40 mins.
    The French Quarter is said to be the most haunted area of New Orleans, and with over 300 years of dark history since the city was founded, it’s not hard to see why.

    In Part 1 of this haunted French Quarter ‘tour’, we’re chatting about some famously (and not so well-known) haunted spots in the Vieux Carré, including the Andrew Jackson Hotel, Flanagan’s (formerly the Morgue), Hotel Provincial, Cafe Sbisa, Cafe Du Monde, and Muriel’s.

    7 Real Ghost Stories From History’s Most HAUNTED Places

    11/08/2026 | 34 mins.
    Each of these seven ghost stories comes from a real historic site, with firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.

    Historic places like Norman castles, medieval prisons and retired ocean liners have seen centuries of history, of human lives being lived… and lost.

    And while nowadays, visitors can tour around these locations to learn the history, some witnesses see that history come to life, in unexplained and sometimes unsettling ways.

    To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from a real person’s own claimed experience. Make of them what you will.
