Today on The Grave Talks, haunted abandoned locations.

From a young age, James Edward Garcia had a fascination with the paranormal,

from witnessing his grandmother practicing centauria to hearing voices,

and witnessing objects moving.

The supernatural was a fact of life for James.

As he grew older, James decided to take his interest and understanding of the undead to a new level,

by personally investigating and documenting locations that the living forgot.

From the Queen Mary to the Hales Bar Dam to an abandoned asylum in Long Island,

James has documented and investigated ghosts all over the country.

He's also suffered oppression and attachments while visiting locations and fasted with spirits.

What continues to draw James back to the physical homes of the dead?

Paranormal started, well very young, and most of the time I want to say influence my grandmother, my mother's mother.

She would tell me these stories from her own experiences,

and she'd tell my brothers and sisters well, but there were times I was the only one hanging out.

Let me just turn this off.

That was not an EVP for anyone laying along at home.

Yes, that was not a ghost phone ringing.

But so she would tell the stories, and I was so fascinated, there was times it was just me,

I would just hang out with her because I couldn't get enough of it.

So she had these stories a lot of it from Cuba.

She was originally from China, but as a young kid, her father migrated over to Cuba.

And so she grew up mostly there, and witnessed things that these like Santoria was the thing that was done there.
