Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Jeff Waldridge knows what it’s like to walk alongside the dead. With years of unparalleled access to a Civil War battlefield and firsthand encounters inside the notoriously haunted Anderson Hotel, Jeff's journey into the paranormal is filled with chilling and profound moments. In this episode, Jeff shares what it's like to deal with truly negative spirits, how the Anderson Hotel became a magnet for restless souls after its prime, and the strange activity that continued even during its "haunted house" days. From psychics being overwhelmed to a clown figure with a life of its own, the Anderson Hotel isn't just haunted—it's alive with the energy of the past.
