Television and radio shows about the paranormal have skyrocketed! Locally, WBSM features Spooky Southcoast on Saturday evenings to cater to the crowd. Soon, I'm going to welcome New Bedford author Luann Joly to talk about her new book on area ghosts in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, listen to these eerie and authentic EVP recordings of local haunted places, and tell me what you hear!

The Southcoast is full of old Mills. Some of them are being used in new ways, but some are still empty, and possibly haunted. This recording of a scream is believed be the voice of someone during a tragic accident.

Much of the Southcoast was built on sacred ground. John Collins cemetery in North Dartmouth is very spooky, and this sound was recorded late at night there: 'Before you come back here'
