Welcome to the first in a special series of haunted-house themed episodes of Spirit Sisters the Podcast, which I’ll be airing in the lead-up to Halloween.
Karina Machado speaks to Ben Atkins. Ben lives with his wife in South Australia, where he works as a manager in the wholesale electrical industry. Ben and his family moved from the US to Mount Gambier in 2009, when he was 16. Ben's story revolves around his beautiful, but oh so eerie, childhood home in Pennsylvania, just a few minutes’ drive from Gettysburg, the site of an 1863 battle which marked a turning point in the US Civil War. Up to 51,000 soldiers from both the Union and Confederate sides are estimated to have died in the bloody Battle of Gettysburg.
Ben’s family home was literally built on blood-soaked land… Please note that during the interview, Ben mentions an artwork which drew the attention of the spirits in the home. When we spoke, Ben didn’t know what the artwork depicted, but he’s since found out it was an image of Jesus on the Cross.
Here’s Ben Atkins with the first in our haunted-house series for Halloween.
