Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Some kids grow up with monsters under the bed.
 Andy Hopkins grew up with them in the hallway — awake, watching, waiting.

From the time he was young, spirits seemed to find him with unsettling ease. Shadows that paused just long enough to be noticed. Footsteps that crossed the house with purpose. Nights when the air felt charged with something that didn’t want him there. Andy wasn’t just seeing ghosts… they were seeing him, too.

And not all of them were harmless.

What began as a strange sensitivity soon turned into a battle he never asked for — a childhood shaped by whispers, moving darkness, and the sense that something was always just out of view, edging closer. His “gift” wasn’t a doorway into wonder. It was an invitation for the dead to step in and stay. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Well, they got very bad.

I mean, after a few years, well, a few years living there, my mom, she met another guy and we, he was a bit of a sleaze ball, to be quite honest. He liked to drink. He was quite a few years older than my mom. And he, he, he, a few years prior to meeting my mom, he'd had a stroke. So he kind of affected his brain a little bit.
