The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

Rob and Teresa Heckenlively never set out to own a haunted hotel. During a family vacation to Osceola, Missouri, they called a realtor simply because they wanted to see inside the long-vacant Commercial Hotel. They weren't looking to buy a historic landmark—but by the end of the tour, that's exactly what they wanted to do.
Built in 1867 after the Civil War's Sacking of Osceola destroyed an earlier hotel on the property, the Commercial Hotel has welcomed famous guests including President Harry Truman and brothers Jesse and Frank James. Today, many believe not every guest has ever truly checked out.
As Rob and Teresa began bringing the historic hotel back to life, they discovered they weren't the only ones invested in its future. Before the restoration was even complete, Rob had an encounter so unsettling it kept him away from the hotel for months. Since then, guests have reported heavy footsteps, voices in empty hallways, shadow figures, and other unexplained encounters that continue to fuel the hotel's haunted reputation.
Today on The Grave Talks, Rob and Teresa share the remarkable story of rescuing the Commercial Hotel—and what it's like living with whatever may have never left.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
In the quiet town of Ione, California, a fortress of red stone looms over the landscape — a place where hope once turned into horror. Preston Castle, opened in 1894 as a reformatory for troubled youth, quickly gained a darker reputation. Behind its towering walls, countless young men endured harsh punishment, despair, and untimely deaths. Today, it stands as one of the most haunted locations on the West Coast.
From slamming doors and ghostly voices to sightings of shadowy figures pacing the cellblock halls, Preston Castle’s tragic history has left a permanent spiritual scar. With Melissa Zelico, team leader of Preston Castle Paranormal, we uncover the chilling stories that echo through its corridors — stories of former wards, caretakers, and spirits who refuse to move on.
Step inside the castle that was meant to reform lives… but may have trapped souls instead.

They knew exactly what it sounded like when her father came home at night. The old front door had a distinctive creak, the weather stripping made a familiar scraping sound, and his nightly routine never really changed. So when she and a friend heard someone come through the front door just before midnight, they didn't think twice.
The problem was... her father never came home.
What followed left both of them questioning who—or what—they had heard enter the house that night. More than fifty years later, they still talk about it, and neither of them has ever come up with an explanation that makes sense.

For fifteen years, he had a practical answer for just about everything. Old buildings creak. Pipes make noise. Floors settle. Strange sounds almost always have a simple explanation.
But there was one apartment he could never quite figure out.
Tenants in Apartment 12 never seemed to stay as long as everyone else. Every so often someone mentioned footsteps, doors opening on their own, or a feeling they couldn't explain. He dismissed it all as part of living in a building that was nearly a century old.
Then one afternoon, while preparing the apartment for yet another new tenant, something happened that refused to fit any logical explanation.
Years later, he still isn't convinced the building is haunted. He just knows there's one apartment where the questions have always outnumbered the answers.
