  • Case 211: Palacio de Linares: Incest, Murder and the Ghost of Raimundita

    54:49|
    In the heart of Madrid stands the magnificent Palacio de Linares, a nineteenth-century palace with a reputation for scandal, tragedy and one of Spain’s most famous ghost stories.According to legend, the palace was home to JosĆ© de Murga and Raimunda de Osorio, an aristocratic couple whose marriage was said to hide a shocking secret: they were allegedly half-brother and half-sister. The story claims that after appealing to the Pope, they were allowed to remain married only if they lived chastely. But when a child was supposedly born, the scandal deepened, and that child became known as Raimundita.Was she murdered to protect the family name?Was her body hidden somewhere inside the palace?And could her ghost still be wandering the rooms, calling for her mother?In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate the chilling paranormal claims linked to the Palacio de Linares, including ghostly apparitions, unexplained music, moving doors, dramatic temperature drops, strange photographs and the infamous psychophonies, or EVP recordings, that appeared to capture voices saying ā€œMamĆ”ā€, ā€œmurderersā€ and even the name Raimunda.We also look at the paranormal investigations carried out inside the palace, the media frenzy that followed, the hundreds of people who reportedly descended on the building looking for ghosts, and the growing doubts surrounding some of the most famous evidence.But this case becomes even stranger when the historical records are examined.Did Raimundita ever exist?Was the incest story true?Did a Pope really intervene in JosĆ© and Raimunda’s marriage?And how did a haunted palace, a real goddaughter named Raimunda, paranormal investigators and sensational media coverage combine to create one of Madrid’s most enduring supernatural legends?The Palacio de Linares is more than a ghost story. It is a fascinating case study in how folklore, paranormal investigation, family history and media attention can collide until nobody is quite sure where the truth ends and the haunting begins.Join Anne and Renata as they unravel the ghosts, the scandal and the legend of Raimundita in one of Spain’s strangest paranormal cases.True Hauntings Podcast explores real haunted locations, famous ghost stories, paranormal investigations, historical mysteries, psychical research and the evidence behind some of the world’s most enduring supernatural claims.Find us here:True Hauntings: https://truehauntings.com.au Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenata Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneandrenata/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435#TrueHauntings #PalacioDeLinares #Raimundita #HauntedMadrid #MadridGhosts #SpanishGhostStories #HauntedSpain #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ParanormalInvestigation #EVP #Psychophony #HauntedPalace #SupernaturalMystery #DarkHistory

  • Case 210: Kyteler’s Inn: The Haunting Legacy of Ireland’s Accused Witch

    01:06:00|
    Kyteler’s Inn in Kilkenny is one of Ireland’s most famous medieval pubs, but its reputation reaches far beyond food, music and old stone walls.At the centre of its story is Alice Kyteler, a wealthy fourteenth-century woman accused of witchcraft, poisoning and dealings with the Devil. While Alice escaped, others connected to her case paid a terrible price, and her name has remained tied to the inn ever since.But is Kyteler’s Inn truly haunted, or has centuries of folklore transformed a complicated historical case into one of Ireland’s most enduring supernatural legends?In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata explore the story of Alice Kyteler, the paranormal claims linked to the inn, reports of a mysterious woman in black, unexplained cold spots, shadowy photographs and the suggestion that Alice herself may still be present.We also examine where these haunting stories began, how they changed over time, and whether the evidence points to genuine paranormal activity, mistaken identity, atmospheric storytelling or a legend that has grown stronger with every retelling.Was Alice Kyteler really a witch, a victim of fear and politics, or something more complicated? And does her restless legacy still linger inside Kyteler’s Inn?Listen as we weigh the history, the witness accounts and the inconsistencies to ask the question at the heart of every case:Is this truly a haunting?Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenata YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata Skool community: https://www.skool.com/frightfully-good-paranormal-6267 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id153705214#KytelersInn #AliceKyteler #IrelandHaunted #HauntedIreland #IrishGhostStories #WitchcraftHistory #MedievalIreland #KilkennyIreland #ParanormalPodcast #TrueHauntings #GhostStories #HauntedPub #IrishFolklore #HistoricalMystery #ParanormalInvestigation
  • 209. Case 209: Doorwerth Castle: The Girl, the Carriage and the Headless Horses

    01:07:35||Season 1, Ep. 209
    Doorwerth Castle in the Netherlands is said to be haunted by a starving girl, a mysterious woman in white and a ghostly carriage pulled by headless horses. But where did these stories begin, and how much of the haunting can actually be traced?In this episode of True Hauntings, Renata takes us through the long and turbulent history of Doorwerth Castle, from its medieval origins and powerful residents to war damage, restoration and the many lives lived within its walls.Then Anne examines the paranormal claims that grew around the castle, including the tragic story of a young woman reportedly imprisoned and left to starve, unexplained footsteps, sudden cold, the folklore of the Witte Wieven and the terrifying carriage said to return with its headless horses.We also look at the investigations that helped spread Doorwerth Castle’s haunted reputation, including its appearance on Most Haunted, and trace how separate legends may have merged, changed and grown over time.As always, we ask the question at the heart of True Hauntings: is Doorwerth Castle truly haunted, or have history, folklore, television and repeated storytelling created something far larger than the evidence?Listen now to Case 209: Doorwerth Castle: The Girl, the Carriage and the Headless Horses.#TrueHauntings #DoorwerthCastle #HauntedCastle #DutchGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedNetherlands #MostHaunted #WitteWieven #HeadlessHorses #CastleGhosts #ParanormalInvestigation #HauntingLegends #SupernaturalStories #GhostPodcast #AnneandRenata #frightfullygoodparanormalšŸŽ§ Listen & Follow True HauntingsFollow Anne and Renata:Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenataInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneandrenata/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenataListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435

  • 207. Case 207: Theatre Royal Drury Lane: The Ghosts Who Never Miss Their Cue

    59:54||Season 1, Ep. 207
    Step inside Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of London’s most famous and historic theatres, where the applause may fade, but the stories refuse to leave the stage.In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate the ghostly legends of Theatre Royal Drury Lane, a theatre with more than 350 years of drama, fire, fame, tragedy and superstition woven into its walls. From the mysterious Man in Grey, said to walk the upper circle before vanishing near the royal box, to the ghostly presence of performers like Dan Leno, Joseph Grimaldi and Charles Macklin, this is a haunting where the spirits seem less like intruders and more like permanent members of the company.But where did these stories begin?Was a skeleton really found behind a wall? Did a murdered man become the famous Man in Grey? Are the dressing room mirror sightings of Dan Leno genuine ghostly encounters, or the product of exhausted performers, theatrical folklore and a building designed to blur reality?Anne and Renata pull back the curtain on one of Britain’s most enduring haunted theatre stories, looking at the legends, the reported encounters, the dubious beginnings, and the very human need to turn fear into tradition.Because at Drury Lane, the ghosts are not just seen.They are expected.#TrueHauntingsPodcast #TheatreRoyalDruryLane #HauntedLondon #GhostStories #TheManInGrey #tSpookyisles #thatreghostsruhauntings #haunteduk #hauntedengland #theatreghosts #hauntedtheatres #paranormal #anneandrenata #frightfullygoodghoststories #famoustheatreghosts #theatrelegends
  • 206. Case 206: The Girl in the Closet: The Haunted Fairbanks House of Louisiana

    01:00:44||Season 1, Ep. 206
    What really happened inside the Haunted Fairbanks House of Sicily Island, Louisiana?In this episode of True Hauntings, we investigate the disturbing story of the Fairbanks House, a historic Louisiana home now known for paranormal activity, ghost investigations, strange noises, shadow figures, alleged EVPs, and the chilling legend of ā€œHenrietta’s Closet.ā€The story centres on Henrietta Fairbanks, a young woman said to have suffered from epilepsy and seizures before her early death in 1922. Over time, her real life appears to have been reshaped into something darker: a tale of confinement, a haunted closet, and a ghost story that has become part of the house’s modern paranormal reputation.But is the Fairbanks House truly haunted?Or has Henrietta’s story been transformed by rumour, psychic claims, paranormal investigators, ghost-hunting television, YouTube investigations, and the business of haunted tourism?Anne and Renata examine the history, the reported paranormal phenomena, the claims connected to The Dead Files episode ā€œBent on Revenge: Sicily Island, LA,ā€ and the modern ghost stories surrounding the Haunted Fairbanks House. We look at the witness accounts, the investigation reports, the contradictions, and the way a tragic family story may have evolved into one of Louisiana’s most talked-about haunted house legends.This is not just a ghost story. It is a case about illness, grief, folklore, paranormal storytelling, and what can happen when the life of a real woman becomes the centrepiece of a haunting.Was Henrietta Fairbanks truly haunting the house?Or are we looking at a constructed paranormal narrative built from history, rumour, suggestion, and spectacle?Listen as we unpack the legend of The Girl in the Closet: The Haunted Fairbanks House of Louisiana.šŸŽ§ Listen to True Hauntings on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=320c9db7df5f4cbfšŸŽ§ Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147ā˜• Support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenatašŸ–¤ Join our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/anneandrenatašŸ‘» Join our paranormal community on Skool:https://www.skool.com/frightfully-good-paranormal-6267šŸ“ŗ Subscribe to Frightfully Good Anne & Renata:https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata#TrueHauntings #FairbanksHouse #HauntedFairbanksHouse #SicilyIsland #LouisianaHaunting #HenriettaFairbanks #HauntedHouse #ParanormalInvestigation #TheDeadFiles #GhostStories #RealHaunting #EVP #ShadowFigures #ParanormalPodcast #FrightfullyGood #hauntedusa #hauntedlouisiana #hauntedandhistoric
  • Case 205: The Cideville Poltergeist: The Curse That Went to Court

    01:00:47|
    In this episode of True Hauntings Podcast, we investigate the strange and unsettling case of The Cideville Poltergeist, one of France’s most unusual 19th-century paranormal mysteries.In 1850, at a quiet presbytery in Cideville, Normandy, two boys studying under CurĆ© Jean Tinel became the centre of a terrifying series of unexplained events: mysterious knocks in the walls, flying objects, moving furniture, musical raps, strange voices, and claims of a dark figure haunting the house.But this was no ordinary ghost story.The haunting soon turned into a legal battle when local shepherd FĆ©lix Thorel was accused of being connected to the disturbances through sorcery. Thorel denied the claims and sued the priest for defamation, turning the Cideville Poltergeist into a rare paranormal case that ended up in court.Was this a genuine poltergeist haunting? Were the boys responsible for the activity? Was Thorel a sorcerer, a scapegoat, or simply the man the village chose to blame? And how did fear, religion, gossip, and reputation turn strange knocks in a priest’s house into one of France’s most fascinating haunted history cases?Join us as we explore the priest, the shepherd, the two boys, and the curse that went to court.#CidevillePoltergeist #TrueHauntingsPodcast #Poltergeist #HauntedFrance #ParanormalHistory #GhostStories #FrenchHauntings #HauntedNormandy #ParanormalInvestigation #RealHauntings #HauntedHistory #GhostPodcast #SupernaturalMystery #FrightfullyGood #AnneAndRenata #TrueHauntings #AustraliaGhosts #HauntedBuildings #ParanormalActivity #CanberraHaunting
