Doug Owen is the author behind one of the most harrowing hauntings ever documented—his own. As a family’s peace unraveled into unexplainable terror, Doug not only chronicled their chilling journey in "The Unholy Silence" but continues to explore the shadows. He is the host of The Unholy Podcast, where each week he interviews those who have witnessed the paranormal, and The Unholy Broadcast, a live radio show where darkness meets airwaves. In each medium, Doug delves deeper, bringing listeners and readers face-to-face with the unexplained. Enter his world—if you dare. ...more

The Silence Didn’t End When the Noise Stopped

Most people think hauntings are loud.

They imagine doors slamming, footsteps in the night, voices whispering from the dark.

But what they don’t understand… is what comes after.

The silence.

The Unholy Silence wasn’t just about what happened inside that house.
It was about what followed—what lingered long after the last sound faded.

Because some things don’t leave.

They don’t need to.

“There’s something deeply humiliating about being haunted.If you’re mentally ill, you hide it. If you’re physically disabled, you minimize it. If your house is haunted, you damn well better keep that to yourself.

Because what’s the alternative? Laughter. Pity. Fear. Dismissal”
Doug Owen, THE UNHOLY SILENCE: A true Account of a Haunted Idaho Home

“There is no place for madness in polite society—not even the kind that comes clawing out of your walls at night.”
