The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
Forests are often described as peaceful places—full of quiet beauty, hidden trails, and the feeling that something magical may be waiting just beyond the trees.
For Jay Gridley, that feeling turned out to be terrifyingly real.
As a young boy exploring the woods near his childhood home, Jay realized he wasn’t alone out there. Hidden among the trees and winding paths was a group of strange playmates who seemed just as fascinated by him as he was by them. At first, they felt like ordinary childhood companions. But over time, Jay began to understand there was something deeply unusual about the children he encountered in the forest.
Were they spirits? Lost souls? Or something even stranger?
In Part One of this chilling conversation, Jay shares the experiences that shaped his lifelong connection to the paranormal, the unseen presence that seemed tied to the woods, and why some friendships may continue long after death.
You may never look at a quiet forest the same way again.

The room wasn’t meant to feel like home. It was just a cheap temporary rental while he waited for his new apartment to be ready after moving for work.
The old Victorian house had been divided into cramped rentals over the years, and his tiny third-floor room sat directly beneath an attic access panel hanging from the ceiling over the bed. He hated it immediately, though he couldn’t explain why.
For the first week, nothing happened. Then the storms rolled in.
Late at night, he began hearing footsteps crossing slowly through the attic overhead. At first, he convinced himself it was just an old house reacting to heavy weather. But the sounds kept getting worse—and eventually they continued even after the storms had passed.
And once he realized the footsteps seemed to stop directly above his bed… the room stopped feeling temporary altogether.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC! PART TWO
For Michelle Lemke-Budke, the paranormal was never a curiosity—it was part of everyday life from the very beginning.
As a child, Michelle experienced terrifying encounters with spirits she could neither explain nor escape. What once felt like a burden eventually became a calling, leading her down a path as a psychic medium, intuitive empath, and founder of First City Paranormal of Kansas.
Today, Michelle enters homes, businesses, abandoned locations, and even prisons to confront restless entities and help both the living and the dead find peace. Her journey, detailed in Against the Forbidden Darkness: A Medium and Her Struggle to Save Souls, reveals years of chilling encounters with earth-bound spirits and darker forces that refused to let go.
On this episode of The Grave Talks, Michelle shares the experiences that shaped her abilities, the battles she’s faced with malevolent entities, and how she helps others connect with spiritual guides, angels, and the world beyond our own.

After losing both his wife and his lifelong best friend within a few years of each other, his father spent nearly every evening alone in the garage they had shared for decades. It started as grief, or at least that was the easiest explanation. The familiar routines remained comforting—the radio humming softly, coffee on the workbench, old projects left unfinished exactly where they had been.
Then the strange things began.
A second coffee cup appearing beside his father’s. Tools moving overnight. The motion light glowing outside long after everyone had gone to bed. And every so often, drifting through the smell of oil and sawdust, the unmistakable scent of cigarette smoke from a man who was no longer alive.
What unsettled the family most wasn’t the activity itself. It was how normal it slowly became.
