A lot of ghost stories sound spooky from a distance. They feel very different when you’re the kid standing in the hallway hearing footsteps, feeling the temperature drop, and watching the house respond like it’s listening. We sit down with Miley, who grew up in a historic home once known as the Delavan Hotel, and she brings receipts in the form of family history, local lore, and the kind of small details that make a haunting feel real.
Miley walks us through the town’s haunted reputation, including multiple nearby houses connected to violent deaths, alleged paranormal activity, and later structure fires. We also dig into the history that makes this place so infamous, from the Crabb Mansion era to a murder that happened in the home, and the wild fact that Abraham Lincoln stayed there during a visit to Delavan. Along the way, we talk through the classic paranormal categories: residual hauntings, intelligent spirits, and poltergeists so you can map the stories to a clearer framework instead of pure vibes.
Then we get personal: the hot water shutting off mid hair wash, objects moving without a cause, giggling heard late at night, and the night everything escalated after a mirror shattered and the house seemed to “throw a fit” until early morning. We also share our own ghost hunting experiences, call out why so much paranormal TV feels fake, and ask the bigger questions about energy, land, belief, and why humans keep chasing the unknown.
If you’re into true ghost stories, haunted house history, paranormal investigation, and the psychology of fear, hit play and come hang out. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves spooky stories, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the Silly Goose Society.
