Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Remember those “imaginary friends” your parents pretended to humor right before ushering you to bed? Well, James Koppert’s friends weren’t so keen on staying imaginary. Armed with details no kid should know—like the names and favorite snacks of long-deceased children—James found himself the life of a paranormal playdate. But when your invisible buddies have backstories more tragic than a soap opera, “playtime” can swiftly turn into a nightmare. Join us in this classic episode of The Grave Talks as we unravel James’s childhood encounters, the family heartache that followed, and whether a mysterious curse has been scribbled in the margins of the Koppert family tree.
