Summary

Every house is haunted. In each episode of Family Ghosts, we investigate the true story behind a mysterious figure whose legend has followed a family for generations. Grandmothers who were secretly jewel smugglers, uncles who led double lives, siblings who vanished without a trace...these specters cast shadows over our lives in ways that might not be immediately obvious. But we are all formed in part by our familial collections of secrets, intrigues, and myths. And by engaging with each others’ legends, maybe we can see each others’ reality more clearly. On Family Ghosts, the families are real, the ghosts are metaphorical, and the truth is always relative.

Episode Description

Announcing Season 2 of Family Ghosts, a podcast that takes a closer look at the legendary tales that shape our family histories.
