This week on Let’s Talk Spooky, we unlock the doors to two haunted homes that history tried to forget.

First, we travel to the tangled fields of Goa, India, where the tragic legend of the D’Mello House still lingers—two brothers, one house, and a silence that never truly settled.

Then, we journey to Nova Scotia’s oldest town to visit the Bailey House, a Georgian-era home where ghostly perfume drifts through the halls… and a pale woman is said to still wait by the window for a ship that never returned.

Ghost stories, historical echoes, and the kind of hauntings that don’t scream—they watch.

Some forests welcome you. Others… watch you.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Spooky, we explore two of the world’s most haunted forests: Aokigahara, Japan’s mysterious Sea of Trees, known for its silence, sorrow, and restless spirits... and Germany’s Black Forest, where werewolves roam, witches cast curses, and tall shadowy figures are said to follow wanderers home.

If you’ve ever felt the woods were watching — maybe they were.
