Bloody Mary, Ghosts of Cambodia, and the Pool Boy: True Ghost Stories from Real Callers

Hey, it's Michelle, and this one is a little different. This episode won the Silver Signal Award in "Paranormal and Horror" podcasts and the International Women in Podcasting Award, and honestly, I'm still so proud of it. And now, it's a video episode available on Spotify and YouTube. If you haven't heard it yet, this is a good place to start.Three callers. Three stories that cover completely different corners of the paranormal world. And all of them are real.Cindy takes us back to Halloween night when she was a kid, the night she and her brother decided to actually do it. Summon Bloody Mary. What started as a dare between siblings turned into something neither of them expected, something that has stayed with Cindy ever since. I think most of us grew up hearing the Bloody Mary legend and writing it off as a game. Cindy is not writing it off.Then we travel to Cambodia with Rax, and this one hit differently for me. His ghostly encounters are tied directly to the history of the Khmer Rouge, and the weight of that history is present in every detail he shares. A woman floating above him. A hand reaching out from a fan. These aren't just spooky images. They feel like something that place needed to say out loud. Rax's story is one of those that reminds me why I started this show in the first place.And finally, Jennifer joins us, and she's not just a caller with a ghost story. She's a professional psychic medium, and her perspective on the haunted house she lived in adds a layer to this episode that I genuinely didn't expect. The ghost in question was a boy. He seemed completely real. He cleaned the pool. I know how that sounds, and I promise you it sounds even better when Jennifer tells it herself.If you've got a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you can't explain, I want to hear it.
