Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

What happens when the ghosts choose you?

For Dan and Connie LeFave, paranormal investigation was a passion—not a lifestyle. They explored haunted locations, chased cold spots, and documented ghost stories like many enthusiasts. But nothing could have prepared them for what would happen after a visit to a historic site in Ballinger, Texas: the Olde Park Hotel.

Built in the late 1800s, the Olde Park Hotel has worn many faces over time—hotel, brothel, boarding house, possibly even a school. But one thing has remained constant: the presence of the paranormal. It’s said that more than 30 spirits roam its rooms, and after one investigation, they made a shocking move. The building’s owner contacted Dan with a message that would change everything: “The spirits really want you and Connie to have the building.”

We talk with Dan LaFave to uncover what it’s really like to live alongside the dead. Why did the spirits choose them? What strange encounters have unfolded since they moved in? And can anyone truly own a place when it’s already inhabited by something… other? This is Part Two of our conversation.

Today on The Grave Talks, part two of our conversation about the ghosts of the old park hotel.

0:08.2

Do you feel like there's rooms in the old park hotel that are definitely more active than other rooms?

0:17.9

There are, the whole building is haunted, though. I would tell, usually when people

0:23.1

come in, they'll ask me, they're like, where are the hot spots, more or less? Where do things

0:28.2

happen more than other areas? And I would tell people that it can happen anywhere. I can happen

0:35.3

right here in the lobby where we're talking. That's the funny

0:38.4

thing about it. We never know where the next paranormal event is going to occur, but sometimes it

0:44.0

happens right there in the front of the building. Some people sometimes will be investigating.

0:49.5

They'll pick their rooms upstairs because that's where all the bedrooms are. And things start happening to them.

0:55.9

They start getting a little freaked out. Next thing you know, they're not sleeping in their rooms

upstairs. They're sleeping on the couches downstairs in the presentation room, thinking that they're safe

1:13.0

Sometimes they get their arms grabbed, they get pulled on the floor off the couch.

So you just don't know where it's going to come at you. I would tend to say that our most

active area, though, is upstairs in the back where we have our doll room our infamous

1:29.8

doll room and a bunch of other rooms and one of the outlaws Jim deacon Miller who a very famous

1:40.0

history with Ballinger and he's portrayed to be probably the worst outlaw out of the old

1:46.0

west, it was directly linked to Ballanter and directly linked to our building. So he's,

1:52.3

he's there and he's very cunning and he's very sneaky how he does things. So that would be probably

1:59.8

our most active area upstairs in the back.

2:02.4

That's where a lot of things happen.

2:04.4
