Summary
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
Preserving history is one thing. Preserving it while uncovering ghostly activity is something else entirely.
Saving the Old Properties is a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing endangered historic buildings across Indiana. Founded by Richard Allen and Dann Allen, the organization restores architectural treasures that might otherwise be lost to time. But as walls are opened and floors are lifted, something else often emerges—stories, energy, and sometimes spirits that never left.
Joining us are Richard Allen, General Manager Kate Thornberg, and Historian Ted Martin, who share what it’s like to breathe life back into centuries-old structures—while encountering unexplained phenomena within their walls.
From shadow figures and strange sounds to the emotional weight that lingers in historic spaces, this conversation explores where preservation meets the paranormal—and how history and hauntings often occupy the same foundation.
