Summary
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO
From the boarded-up wards of abandoned asylums to the fog-covered decks of the RMS Queen Mary, James Edward Garcia has spent years stepping into places most people would never willingly enter. What began as urban exploration evolved into a relentless pursuit of the paranormal—one shaped by a childhood where experiences with Santería and unexplained voices blurred the line between the living and the dead.
Over time, his investigations have taken him deep inside some of America’s most notorious locations, including sites like Hales Bar Dam, where stories of lingering spirits are as heavy as the history itself. But with that experience has come something else—moments that suggest not everything stays behind when the investigation ends.
James shares what draws him back to these forgotten places, the encounters that have challenged him, and the unsettling reality that sometimes, the greatest risk isn’t what you find in the dark… it’s what might follow you out.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to part two of our interview with James Edward Garcia about haunted, abandoned locations. |
| 0:08.5 | If it can be pinpointed, if it is a residential location or a smaller area where you know who it is who's speaking and there are the living around who are relatives who are still alive. That's one thing to be able to communicate, |
| 0:22.1 | hey, here's some interesting information that pertains to someone who is related to you, |
| 0:27.1 | versus in a giant location where you may not know who this voice is, what their message is, |
| 0:32.1 | or who needs to know about it, if anyone. If anyone alive is still, you know, even would have any recognition of that. |
| 0:40.4 | Tell me more about some of the locations that you've gone to, |
| 0:44.6 | some of the most haunted in your opinion that you visited |
