When Brian Bateman and his wife moved into a 1914 Craftsman in Fort Worth, Texas, they thought that they had found the perfect place to start their empty-nest chapter. Instead, they found themselves in a home with a history as dark as it was hidden. From 1914 to 2023, five people died within its walls and the street itself had seen more than its share of tragedy. At first, Brian tried to shrug off the odd occurrences. But as the strange activity grew harder to ignore, it became clear that something in the house wasn’t ready to let go. His unsettling experiences would inspire the fictionalized novel Ghost Writer by Jennifer Brasington-Crowley, a story rooted in the real hauntings and the neighborhood’s dark history. In this episode, Brian shares what really happened behind closed doors—and why in this house, the dead don’t leave.
