Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

For John Moore, growing up in a funeral home wasn’t unusual—it was everyday life. Surrounded by viewing rooms, embalming spaces, and the constant presence of the departed, he quickly learned that death wasn’t always the end of the story.

As a child, John began experiencing things he couldn’t explain—footsteps echoing on empty staircases, unexplained activity in quiet rooms, and even what he believes were direct encounters with the spirit of his great-grandfather, the founder of Moore & Sons Funeral Service.

What started as childhood curiosity soon became something much deeper, setting John on a lifelong path of exploring the paranormal and trying to understand why some spirits seem to linger.

John shares the early experiences that shaped his understanding of the supernatural—and what it was like growing up where the line between the living and the dead was never quite clear.
