The past isn't just history—sometimes, it’s still watching.
Haunted Lineage explores the deep, often chilling connections between history, heritage, and the supernatural. Building on the research and archives of the Haunted Lineage website, this podcast delves into the lingering echoes of the past that refuse to stay buried.From the forgotten local histories of small towns to the personal ties that bind families to haunted places, we examine the intersections of bloodlines and the beyond. Join us as we unravel:
Ancestral Hauntings: Why do some spirits follow a family for generations?
The Folklore of the Land: The urban legends and dark histories that shape our communities.
First-Hand Accounts: Chilling encounters that blur the line between the known and the unknown.
Step into the shadows with us as we investigate the thin veil between what was, what is—and what still lingers.
In this episode of Haunted Lineage, a disturbing series of nightmares and the discovery of a face-damaged concrete angel statue in an old Quincy, Illinois duplex lead to a chilling paranormal investigation. What begins as a simple house cleansing unveils a sinister history hidden behind a heavily locked attic door—complete with localized pitch-black shadow anomalies on the staircase, human fingernail gouges in the plaster, and a sudden, violent physical attack by an unseen entity. Psychic visions reveal a dark past of imprisonment and abuse, while a fateful decision regarding the bound statue ties this haunting directly to another infamous local case.
Content Warning: This episode includes first-hand accounts of aggressive paranormal activity, disturbing nightmares involving threats toward a child, descriptions of physical trauma, evidence of confinement, and discussion of alleged physical and sexual abuse.

Night Terrors on Elm Street
We thought we had found the perfect historic apartment on Elm Street, but something waiting in the dark had already claimed it — or us.
In this episode, I’m expanding on a story previously shared in a two-part series on Haunted Lineage. Back in 2006, my husband and I were just two small-town kids looking for our first real place in Quincy, Illinois. After a brutal search filled with literal nightmare fuel, we finally secured a beautifully renovated quad-plex in a home originally built by a historic beer baron.
But the relief of finding a home quickly dissolved. What started as a vague feeling of unease and bizarre temperature shifts soon escalated into outright terror. We slowly realized we weren't just dealing with an old, drafty building—we were being actively stalked by something massive and primal.
Join me as we revisit our Night Terrors on Elm Street, the ancient history resting just a half-mile from our door, and the terrifying reality of moving into a space guarded by a presence that refuses to let you sleep.

Severed Roots: The Orphan Train Legacy
In this special Podcasthon (https://podcasthon.org/) episode, Haunted Lineage highlights the National Orphan Train Complex (https://orphantraindepot.org/) in Concordia, Kansas—a non-profit dedicated to the 250,000 children relocated across America between 1854 and 1929. While not a supernatural haunting, the "placing out" system left a legacy of severed roots and erased identities that continues to haunt the family trees of descendants today.
I will connect this historical weight to my own family’s search for my orphaned mother’s past, framing the museum’s mission as a vital sanctuary for stories nearly lost to time. From heartbreaking stops at rural depots to the bronze statues now honoring riders in Kansas, discover how this unique institution ensures that even if a rider "later forgot" their origins, we never will.

Pulled by the Unseen: Maramec to Yeater Hall
At fourteen, I was sent to a Missouri residential facility meant to “fix” me. But on a trip to Maramec Spring Park’s nearly forgotten 19th‑century cemetery, something far stranger happened—an irresistible pull from nameless graves that refused to let me go.
Was it the spark of empathic abilities, a hidden tie to an ancestor at the old ironworks, or something else reaching across time?
From there, we'll shift to a website listing about Warrensburg’s Yeater Hall at the University of Central Missouri, where the loyal spirit of Laura J. Yeater is said to still guard her beloved women’s dormitory. Cold spots, shadow figures, knocks from a padlocked third floor, and men feeling distinctly unwelcome all mark this haunting legacy—one now shadowed by the looming threat of demolition in 2026–2027.

Coasters, Coincidences, and Curses
Amusement parks are a place of magic, of pure joy and reckless abandon. But what happens when the thrill rides hold a darker secret? From a childhood encounter that I managed to survive to a chilling premonition about a famous roller coaster, this episode delves into my family's history of uncanny experiences at fairgrounds and theme parks.
Join me as we explore how these seemingly random mishaps began to reveal a startling connection to a sixth sense, and why a tragic accident that made national news wasn't a random event, but something I knew was coming all along.
