    S2E7. The Vanishing Hitchhiker: From Backroads to Graveyards, a Ghost Story That Refuses to Die
    Oct 21 2025
    Tracing the Origins of America’s Creepiest Urban Legend... She appears on lonely highways, soaked in moonlight and mystery. You offer her a ride—and before the journey ends, she’s gone without a trace. Sound familiar? That’s because the Vanishing Hitchhiker is one of the most enduring and chilling urban legends of all time. In this episode of The Empty Coffin Podcast, we dig deep into the shadowy history of this haunted tale—from 1940s New York folklore to Appalachian ghost trails, international Lady in White sightings, and beyond. We follow the story as it morphs across cultures and generations, showing up in everything from folk songs to biblical texts, and yes—even in your favorite cult horror films. You’ll hear how the legend of Lucy from the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail blurs the line between fiction and fact... how Large Marge, Highway Sheila, and La Llorona might all be part of the same paranormal bloodline... and why hitchhiking ghosts just won’t stay dead. If you’re into paranormal mysteries, folklore, ghost stories, and the kind of eerie tales that echo through time—this one’s a must-listen.

    S2E6. Real Estate Ghost Story: When the House You Buy isn't Completely Empty
    Oct 15 2025
    When selling a home means calling both a realtor and a ghost hunter — you know it’s not your average real estate story. In this eerie episode, Columbus, Ohio realtor Kyle Edwards shares a shocking firsthand account of a haunted house listing that may not have been completely empty after all. Kyle opens up about the legal and ethical gray areas around disclosing deaths, suicides, and paranormal activity in real estate—issues every homebuyer and real estate agent should understand. Then, professional medium and spiritual cleanser Cindy Riggs steps in to reveal how she removes negative energy, banishes spirits, and protects homes from future hauntings. She also offers simple energy-clearing rituals and explains why fear attracts spirits—and how to keep your home’s energy strong and safe. If you’re fascinated by haunted houses, real estate horror stories, and spiritual protection techniques, this is the episode you can’t miss.

    S2E5. Phantom Children & A Spirit Who Lost His Luggage: Hauntings from South Africa to San Antonio
    Oct 7 2025
    From South Africa to San Antonio, this week on The Empty Coffin, we travel across the globe to unravel two spine-chilling tales of paranormal encounters. First, discover the unsettling events at a South African embassy, where colleagues of a deceased tourist experienced an unexplainable intrusion—a psychic medium reveals the spirit’s startling motives. Then, journey to a historic San Antonio hotel near the Alamo, where a family’s vacation took a ghostly turn as they encountered the apparitions of two children. Could these spectral siblings still be searching for closure? Medium Cindy Riggs then uses her abilities to peel back the layers of these mysterious encounters. With personal accounts, psychic insights, and a deep dive into these haunting mysteries, this episode will leave you questioning what lies beyond the veil. Tune in for a gripping exploration of real-life events meeting the supernatural.
