Today on the Grave Talks, part two of collecting spirits, a conversation with author Renee Valois.

Sometimes I think, is it an energy thing?

Are they trying to scare you to elicit that fear response, which would be a lot of energy,

a different type of energy that you're releasing.

Yes, absolutely. Ghosts, especially when they're trying to scare people or make people. They'll also try to make couples fight in a house. A lot of people in haunted houses will break up, and it's because the ghosts are constantly instigating fights between them and because that anger gives them gives them more energy the fear gives them more energy any of those strong emotions give them more energy and that's what they want. It's like a buffet for them, food. Oh boy, now I can really eat here. Look at all this energy. They need that energy and the emotions boosts the energy for the ghosts. So sadly, some, you know, ghosts that don't have compassion or don't have ethics will just go, hey, I'm going to do what I can to get these guys all riled up.

My house growing up. You just described it.

Oh, that's too bad. It was probably the ghosts.

Probably the ghost trying to get it to be that way.

You know, I did actually as an adult.

I thought that for a time, but I don't want to go into detail about people in my house,

but it didn't quit with her once we left.

Oh, that's too bad.

But I do think it created a really tense energy in the house

between coming home from school, knowing your house is haunted and not knowing what you're

going to walk into with your parents.

It created a lot of tension, you know?

And I think then it's just feeding and feeding.

Oh, absolutely.
