Summary
What do Civil War soldiers, FBI cold cases, and Ed & Lorraine Warren all have in common? One woman: Courtney McInvale.
Raised in Connecticut with deep Southern roots, Courtney’s journey has been anything but ordinary. From her time interning with NCIS and tracking real-life criminals to founding Seaside Shadows Haunted History Tours and authoring paranormal history books, she’s lived her life on the thin line between investigation and intuition.
In this episode of The Grave Talks, Courtney dives into her newest book, Civil War Ghosts of Georgia, Volume One, exploring the haunted battlegrounds where the echoes of war refuse to fade. These are the places where soldiers still march, drums still beat, and the dead still have something to say.
Join us for stories that blend true crime, haunted history, and the supernatural, as Courtney reveals why some spirits simply can’t stay buried.
