True Ghost Stories: Little Rachel the Christmas Fire Ghost, a Cursed Georgia Property, and a Kitchen Full of Open Cabinets

This is one of the original Tell Me A Ghost Story calls from the early days of the show. Short, raw, and exactly where it all started. All three of these calls were later incorporated into longer compilation episodes with full host commentary if you want the complete experience.Hey, it's Michelle, and this early episode has three true ghost stories about what happens when something comes home with you and decides to stay. A ghost child who followed someone home because of an act of kindness. A rental property in Georgia where everyone who lived there died or was permanently disabled. And a dead man's belongings that came back from his funeral with something still attached.Cindy from Avon, Indiana, calls in with a true ghost story about Little Rachel, a young girl from Mitchell, Indiana, who burned to death in a Christmas fire. The connection began when Cindy donated two satchels of toys to Rachel's memorial at Christmas. Rachel followed her home and has been there ever since. Cindy is a retired Indiana State Police civilian with thirty years of service who has had Rachel investigated by paranormal researchers, captured EVPs connected to her presence, and watched Rachel possess a haunted doll that Cindy keeps to this day. Little Rachel is not threatening. She is persistent. And Cindy has made her peace with having a Christmas fire ghost as a permanent houseguest.Phil from Chattanooga, Tennessee, calls in with a rental property just across the state line in Georgia with three identical houses twenty feet apart and a history Phil did not know when he bought it. One tenant was beaten to death with a hammer in the driveway. Another died of a fentanyl overdose on the property. The leaseholder's girlfriend had a stroke and was left permanently disabled. The leaseholder himself was given six weeks to live and lasted three. Every tenant reported seeing and hearing someone in the empty middle house. A neighbor told Phil that far more people had died there than Phil knew and that nobody in the neighborhood would dare set foot inside. Phil sold the property and warned the buyer. The buyer said he did not believe in hocus pocus. Two months after closing, the buyer had a medical emergency and was left with permanent disabilities. The property still looks exactly as it did five years ago. The buyer has never touched it.Lauren from Round Rock, Texas, calls in with a haunting that began after a roommate returned from his older brother's funeral carrying the brother's sentimental belongings back to the shared apartment. That same night, Lauren's younger sister woke up in the living room and heard someone in the kitchen, opening cabinets, pulling drawers, rummaging around. Nobody was awake. Nobody was in the kitchen. Her sister called their mother and asked to be picked up before dawn. After that night, the kitchen cabinets started opening by themselves regularly. Every cabinet. Every drawer. Including the ones too high to reach. Lauren saw it herself when she and her friend fell asleep with the deadbolt locked and woke up to find every single cabinet and drawer in the kitchen standing open. Her sister had no knowledge of the brother's belongings being in the apartment before her sleepover encounter. She had no reason to be afraid. She was afraid anyway.Three real callers.
