Summary
At the heart of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, stands the Drish House—a towering antebellum mansion said to glow with ghostly fire.
When Dr. John R. Drish met a tragic end tumbling down the grand staircase, his widow, Sarah, was left with only memories… and a set of ornate funeral candles she cherished. But when those candles mysteriously went missing during her own funeral, something inside the house reignited—literally.
For generations, locals have sworn to see flames flickering in the tower, dancing without smoke, without heat, and without explanation. Some say it’s Sarah’s spirit searching for her lost candles. Others believe it’s the house itself, mourning what was taken.
Join us as we uncover the mystery with Matt and Nika McCool, the current keepers of the Drish legacy, and ask: are those spectral fires a sign of lingering grief… or something far more dangerous? This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the Grave Talks, part two of our conversation about the historic Drish House in |
| 0:07.8 | Tuscaloosa, Alabama. |
| 0:11.3 | Now, at some point, did you have a conversation, maybe an awkward conversation of, I think |
| 0:20.3 | there might be something else in this house other than |
| 0:23.1 | just us that maybe have you had paranormal experiences or had the reputation kind of preceded it? |
| 0:33.4 | The reputation had not preceded it. |
| 0:35.5 | We really didn't know very much about the house. But yeah, |
| 0:39.0 | we definitely had that conversation at some point of, you know, we're not the only entities |
| 0:45.7 | in the house. The time that I really remember about was one of the girls who cleans after parties had sent me a text |
| 0:59.2 | on our group text and said, hey, I'm going to come back in the morning to vacuum. I just couldn't |
| 1:04.2 | be upstairs tonight. I can't describe it. I just couldn't go upstairs. And then someone else chimes |
| 1:09.0 | it. It was like, oh, man, I have those days when I just |
| 1:11.9 | can't be upstairs. And then we suddenly realized that all of us have those days when you just |
| 1:17.0 | can't be upstairs. They're not frequent, but they do happen. And that's just kind of a funny thing |
| 1:26.1 | that we all suddenly were being like, oh yeah, that happens to me too. |
| 1:30.3 | But yeah, we are very cognizant of what Matt calls them the permanent residence for the house. |
| 1:39.3 | I think they enjoy what we're doing with the house. |
| 1:43.3 | The traditions were very famous entertainers during their lifetimes. |
| 1:47.4 | So I think they like having their home filled with gaiety again. |
| 1:55.1 | I could see that. |
| 1:56.1 | That makes sense. |
| 1:58.1 | Now, at some point, did the community itself, did they kind of, or do you even know, |
