What really happens inside the Winchester Mystery House after dark?

In this special Friday the 13th episode of Chambers of the Occult, J is joined by fellow tour guides and haunt performers to share real paranormal experiences from inside the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. Gathered around a fire pit table, they swap true stories of whispers in empty rooms, shadow figures in hallways, doppelgänger voices, unexplained music, and strange activity on the house’s infamous third floor.

These aren’t urban legends, they’re personal encounters from people who work inside one of America’s most famous haunted houses. From voices that answer back when no one’s there to objects moving on their own and moments that can’t quite be explained, this fireside roundtable offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to spend night after night inside a place rumored to be truly haunted.

Whether you’re fascinated by haunted locations, paranormal investigations, or the history of the Winchester Mystery House, this episode invites you to pull up a chair and listen in.

This week on Chambers of the Occult, we welcome back Brent from Chillworthy for a paranormal crossover filled with haunted roads, vanishing passengers, and one very mysterious light.

This time, J takes the wheel and guides us through the enduring urban legend of Resurrection Mary, Illinois infamous hitchhiking ghost said to roam Archer Avenue after nights of dancing, only to disappear as cars approach Resurrection Cemetery. For nearly a century, drivers have reported picking up a quiet young woman in a white dress who asks for a ride… and then vanishes without a trace.

Together, we dig into the layers of this chilling folklore:

The 1930s origins of the legend and the mysterious dancer who never made it home.
Real-life encounters from drivers who claim Mary rode in their backseat before disappearing.
The eerie cemetery gates said to bear scorched handprints.
How the legend evolved through the decades, even keeping up with fashion.

But the night doesn’t end there. Brent shares his own personal paranormal experience: a strange bluish-white light that floated through his bedroom like something out of a fairy tale… only to reappear a year later, witnessed by his sister and grandmother. Was it a spirit? A fae-like presence? Or something we can’t quite explain?

Together, we explore why local legends like Resurrection Mary endure, how folklore shapes the places we live, and whether we’d actually stop to give a ghost a ride if we saw one on the side of the road.

It starts with a dance, a dark road, and a ride home… but some passengers never truly leave.
Turn down the lights, stay curious, and join us for a night of haunted highways and unexplained encounters.

In this episode of Chambers of the Occult, we travel from the wilderness of Idaho to a quiet bungalow in San Pedro, uncovering two stories where something goes terribly wrong and those asking for help are left unprotected.

Milo begins with a recent true crime case out of Twin Falls, Idaho, where a routine traffic stop exposed a sprawling wildlife poaching ring. What started with a few untagged deer unraveled into a years long investigation involving dozens of illegally killed animals, revoked hunting licenses, steep fines, and jail time. It is a case that raises uncomfortable questions about thrill seeking, power, and how easily conservation laws are ignored when no one thinks they are being watched.

Then, J takes us into one of California’s most disturbing paranormal cases, the San Pedro Poltergeist. In the late 1980s, a single mother named Jacqueline Hernandez began experiencing escalating activity inside her home. Objects moved, lights appeared, a violent apparition emerged, and a presence followed her even after she fled the house. When she sought help, she was blamed, dismissed, and investigated herself, while the haunting grew increasingly aggressive.

Together, these cases explore what happens when rules are broken, warnings are ignored, and the systems meant to protect people and animals fail them entirely.

From poaching rings to violent hauntings, this episode asks one simple question.
What happens when you are hunted, haunted, and left to face it alone?
