This Halloween, Haunted Talks invites you inside one of the most haunted houses in America—the Whaley House in San Diego. Built on former execution grounds in 1857, the Whaley House has been the site of chilling tragedies, from the untimely deaths within the Whaley family to eerie encounters with spirits like ‘Yankee Jim,’ a condemned man whose execution was witnessed by Thomas Whaley himself.
In this special episode, we join Victor Santana, Operations & Property Manager of the Whaley House Museum Complex, as he takes us on a tour of its haunted history. Victor shares his firsthand experiences with the spirits that linger within the house, from inexplicable voices to objects moving on their own. He also takes us behind the scenes with chilling accounts of visitors’ encounters—some departing with unexplained marks, others feeling a sudden, overpowering sadness as they walk the grounds. Blow out the candle in your jack-o’-lantern, turn the lights down low, and settle in to hear stories from one of the most active hauntings in the world.
