Curses, hexes, and haunted houses—oh my! It’s officially spooky season and we’re wading into the dark waters of family legacies, sinister spirits, and houses that seem hellbent on destroying anyone who dares to live within their walls. From generational name curses to homes that literally fall apart around their inhabitants, these listener stories remind us that sometimes bad luck isn’t random—it’s inherited, conjured, or tied to the very land beneath our feet.
Stories include:
A house so burdened with dark energy that tenants' lives devolve in tragedy, a child spirit calls for his mother, and even skeptics are driven to terror.
A family home in Mexico haunted by shadowy figures, chains dragging across the floor, and a sinister spirit that whispers into your ear.
A lifelong haunting by a spirit named George, who may have latched on so tightly he passed from one partner to another like the ultimate cursed companion.
A cursed UK home built on the ashes of a pub, where a boxer’s ghost lies bleeding and a sinister entity named Kevin taunts a listener through seizures.
So whether you believe curses are cast, inherited, or simply born from a place, these stories will have you wondering what dark energy might be following you.
