Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

When Austin Maynard rolled into tiny Bryan, Ohio, in 2018, he didn’t just unpack boxes—he unpacked an entire network of hauntings. Within months, the Underground Paranormal Network was born: seven historic buildings linked by shadowed hallways, forgotten secrets, and the beeping cadence of EMF meters. But Austin isn’t content to chase goosebumps; he’s revitalizing Main Street while he’s at it, turning abandoned landmarks into overnight labs where history and high-tech collide.

Armed with custom ghost boxes, hacked radios, and more ITC gadgets than a late-night infomercial, he calls himself an experimentalist—because “researcher” sounds too safe. Tonight, we follow Austin from creaking opera houses to once-shuttered jails, hear the voices he’s pulled from the static, and learn how a town’s forgotten past just might save its future.
