Summary
Some houses announce themselves as haunted the moment you see them—looming facades, dark windows, and a sense of dread that settles in your chest. But what happens when a house looks completely ordinary… and is anything but?
In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the lifelong paranormal experiences of JD Phillips, who grew up in a modest one-story ranch house that gave no outward sign of the activity happening inside its walls. From early childhood, JD lived with unexplained phenomena long before she ever had words like ghost, entity, or paranormal to explain it.
There was no moment of disbelief. No gradual awakening. The haunting was simply part of life.
Her experiences—spanning more than forty years—shaped her creativity, influenced her art and writing, and left a lasting imprint on her physical and emotional well-being. This conversation explores what it means to grow up without skepticism, how constant paranormal exposure can affect a person, and why some houses don’t just haunt places… they haunt lives.
You can find her book, “My Spooked-Up Life: Growing Up Haunted,” on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
