The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
On this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we step inside the vast, echoing halls of Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum—a place where history and hauntings collide in unsettling ways. Once a cutting-edge hospital for mental health treatment, the asylum later became overcrowded, chaotic, and steeped in suffering.
Joining us is Brandi Butcher, Paranormal Event Manager at the asylum, who guides us through more than 160 years of chilling stories. From Civil War raids and whispers of hidden gold to experimental treatments and personal tragedies, the building has absorbed generations of pain, hope, and unrest.
Today, visitors and investigators report shadow figures, unexplained voices, and an energy that refuses to fade. Is it residual trauma locked into the walls—or something far more aware? Walk with us through one of America’s most infamous institutions and discover why the spirits of Trans-Allegheny may still be checking in… long after release was supposed to come.

This is Part Two of our conversation.
The Alamo may be San Antonio’s most famous piece of history, but the streets surrounding it have witnessed generations of life, death, tragedy, and change—and some believe not everyone who became part of that history ever left.
Lauren Swartz was born and raised in San Antonio, and her love of its history and the paranormal led her and her husband, James, to create Sisters Grimm Ghost Tours, which combine documented history with ghostly experiences still being reported today.
There’s the legendary Menger Hotel, with stories of Sallie White, Captain Richard King, and even Teddy Roosevelt; the spirits of the historic City Cemetery No. 1; the old Bexar County Jail, where executions once took place inside the building; and the Emily Morgan Hotel, a former medical building with its own long list of unexplained encounters.
From famous figures to forgotten prisoners—and the spirits that may still be checking into their favorite hotel—San Antonio has plenty of ghost stories beyond the Alamo.
Today on The Grave Talks, Beyond the Alamo: The Ghosts of San Antonio , with Lauren Swartz of Sisters Grimm Ghost Tours.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO
We explore the extraordinary childhood of Amanda Quill, whose early fascination with ghosts and the unseen world shaped the course of her life. Growing up between Canada and Scotland, Amanda found herself surrounded by history, folklore, and unanswered questions about what exists beyond our physical reality.
At a time when paranormal experiences were rarely discussed openly, Amanda sought out every piece of information she could find—books, stories, research, and firsthand accounts—driven by an unshakable need to understand what others preferred to dismiss. Each move across borders deepened her curiosity, exposing her to new perspectives, cultural beliefs, and haunting traditions that reinforced the feeling that something more was waiting to be understood.
Amanda reflects on how those early years influenced her path toward exploring the spirit world and uncovering truths many are reluctant to confront. This episode isn’t just about ghosts—it’s about curiosity, persistence, and what happens when questions about life after death refuse to fade with age.

He had loved ghost stories since childhood, but he was certain an actual encounter would send him running. Buying a Victorian home with deaths in its history seemed like an opportunity to find out. Instead, he felt completely comfortable there—even walking through the rooms alone at night.
His family had other things to report.
His wife saw a man standing near the basement door. Their daughter recognized the description. A visiting relative heard her name called from upstairs when she knew she was alone. Whatever was happening, it seemed to move through the house with the familiarity of someone who belonged there.
He still wasn’t afraid. But hearing about an apparition and finding himself in the presence of one were two different things. Were they sharing their home with its past—and what would happen when that past finally noticed him?
