GraveYard Tales

by Adam Ballinger & Matt Rudolph

We tell the stories and history of haunted places, ghost encounters, cryptid encounters, the paranormal, preternatural, and every oddity imaginable. And we do it with a comedic twist and don't take anything, including ourselves, too seriously! Join your hosts Adam & Matt in their discussions of these topics and email them your thoughts at GraveYardTalesPodcast@gmail.com We thank you for joining us in the GraveYard!

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

A show that is incomparable. Matt and Adam take you on a journey around the world, blending history and spooky lore together to make an absolutely entertaining podcast. The light hearted and dark stories make for a fascinating experience. As a long time listener, I always look forward to the next episode. These two guys somehow continue to find stories both known and very unknown. The mix of spooky, comedy and history is like nothing I have heard before. This show is an escape from crazy reality we live in today. Amazing!

The Bulgarian Bear · Jul 2026

I’ve been listening to you guys for a while, and I’m always happy to see when a new episode comes out! I’m a few weeks into a new job and nervous as heck, but having something familiar like this podcast helps calm my nerves (and gives me a chuckle or two throughout my day with your jokes). Keep on being awesome!

Nire367 · Jul 2026

Spooky legends, haunts & tales told to you by two southern gentlemen. Let the sweet, sweet comfort of their southern accents wash over you as they spin a yarn (& then some) about spooky lore, ghost stories, Cryptids, & haunted places. My new favorite podcast.

Kirstin32 · Apr 2026

I like how Matt and Adam bring some skepticism to the table. You can tell they want to believe but they still tell you about all the plausible alternatives.
