Summary
For most of his life, Sam Baltrusis thought he had the paranormal under control. Haunted hotels, ghostly whispers, eerie encounters — they were all part of the job for the author and historian known for exploring New England’s most haunted locations. But one night in Salem, that all changed.
After a performance in the city infamous for its witch trials and restless dead, Sam realized something had followed him — a spirit not content to be ignored. What began as strange sensations and shifting shadows escalated into a terrifying fight for his life against an unseen force determined to claim him.
In this gripping episode of The Grave Talks, Sam recounts the chilling true story of the Salem haunting that nearly killed him, and how he fought to reclaim his body, his mind, and his faith.
