The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO
Chicago’s history is rich, vibrant—and in some places, deeply tragic.
In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we explore two of the Windy City’s most haunting locations with Tony Szabelski, longtime investigator and tour guide with Chicago Hauntings.
Our journey begins with the devastating legacy of the Iroquois Theater, where more than 600 lives were lost in one of the deadliest theater fires in American history. Though the flames were extinguished long ago, many believe the trauma never fully left—and that the spirits of those lost still linger.
From there, we move to the Congress Plaza Hotel, widely regarded as Chicago’s most haunted hotel. Guests and staff report shadow figures, phantom footsteps, unexplained voices, and encounters that defy reason.
This episode uncovers the sorrow, history, and restless energy still woven into the fabric of Chicago itself.

She chose the old schoolhouse legend for a history project and quickly discovered that almost everyone had the story wrong.
The storm had been real, but the horrific death toll repeated for generations had been wildly exaggerated. Even the haunting stories seemed like folklore layered onto a tragedy that had grown larger with every retelling.
Then she and two friends visited the abandoned school site after dark.  They heard children laughing in the empty field. They saw what looked like a small figure near the trees.
And then a school bell rang across a property where no bell had existed for decades.
Later that night, she discovered one detail buried in an old newspaper account that changed everything she thought she knew about the legend.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO
For more than two hundred years, the Bell Witch legend has occupied a singular place in American folklore—an account so disturbing that it continues to unsettle even seasoned paranormal researchers. At the heart of the story lies Bell Witch Cave, a site many believe remains one of the most actively haunted locations in the country.
In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we begin part one of an in-depth conversation with Candy Wooten, Director of Operations at the Bell Witch Cave. Together, we explore the long history of the property, the origins of the Bell Witch legend, and why the stories surrounding the site have endured for generations.
From unexplained sounds echoing through the cave to reports of apparitions and unsettling encounters, Candy shares what visitors, investigators, and staff have experienced firsthand. We also discuss how the line between folklore and lived experience continues to blur—and why the Bell Witch remains a uniquely American haunting.
