Today on The Grape Talks Uncovering the Dead, a conversation with Brian Messinger.

Brian Messinger grew up with many fond memories of visiting his grandmother in her haunted house.

The family embraced these experiences and accepted them as fact because they would occur so frequently.

From full-bodied apparitions to doors opening to unexplained voices.

Where Brian's grandmother went, so did the spirits.

These shared experiences with Brian are what drove him to investigate where Brian's grandmother went, so did the spirits.

These shared experiences with Brian are what drove him to investigate the paranormal later in life.

This is his story on the Grave Talks.

You know, it started a long time ago.

God, I was probably about seven, eight years old. My grandmother lived in a house over in Richmond, Illinois, and it was haunted as could be. You know, the doors would open and close. You'd

smell cigar smoke or pipe smoke. Things would move around the house. You know, cabinet doors

would be open to the kitchen right after you walked out and went back in, they would be open. That type of thing. So, you know, cabinet doors would be open to the kitchen right

after you walked out and went back in, they would be open. That type of thing. So, you know,

I've been around in my whole life. And my grandmother had a very good friend who was a very

talented psychic. And, you know, just being immersed in that entire thing in my life.

And as I got older, I kind of strayed from it a little bit, you know,

and I always read books on stuff and that type of thing.

And in 2000, I want to say, 2001, it's eight, 2009, somewhere around there,

my daughter had become ill.

And like any parent, you worry immensely.

And I woke up to my grandmother standing at the end of my bed, who had been passed away

for about 15 years at that point.
