True Ghost Stories: Something Was Attached to Those Coffins and Something Has Been Attached to Rachel Since Age Four

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. Both 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 two true ghost stories connected by one word. Attached. Something attached itself to two coffins used in a funeral home in Georgia and followed them into a Halloween spook house in Tennessee. And something attached itself to Rachel when she was four years old and has never let go in thirty years.Phil from Chattanooga, Tennessee, calls in from his work managing foreclosed and abandoned properties in Rome, Georgia. The property had been a funeral home, sitting vacant for over five years. Phil went in for a routine inspection and found the basement fully intact. Embalming equipment. Preparation tables. And two coffins in a room off to the side. The mortgage company told him to take them to the landfill. Instead, a worker suggested his uncle's Halloween spook house in Chattanooga might want them. The uncle came and picked them up.When the spook house opened months later, Phil got a call. The uncle wanted to know where those coffins had come from. His actors refused to get inside them. Things were moving around the space. Doors slamming. Objects falling. One or two actors said flatly it had to be the coffins. Phil later learned from a former funeral home employee that those two coffins had been used over and over for decades for every person scheduled to be cremated. A memorial service. The lid closed. An elevator down to the basement. The body removed and sent off. The coffin returned for the next one. Whatever accumulated in those coffins across hundreds of uses had no intention of becoming a Halloween prop.Rachel from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, calls in with a paranormal attachment that began when she was four years old in South Point, Ohio, and has followed her through every home she has lived in since. Her brother reported their deceased great-grandmother appearing at his window after her death, but Rachel has always wondered whether it was actually her great-grandmother or something demonic using her face to get inside. Whatever it was, it stayed.Thirty years later, Rachel still experiences paranormal activity, and the presence she senses is always the same figure, appearing in her mind whenever something happens, as if it wants to be recognized. Her first sleep paralysis episode at thirty-two ended with three long scratches on her makeup vanity that were not there before. When she described the experience to her mother, her mother's face went blank. The wall behind Rachel was turning black and appeared to be opening like a portal as she spoke. Rachel stopped talking immediately and has never spoken about that incident again.Her most recent sleep paralysis episode happened three weeks before she called in. Something demonic whispered directly into her ear. She will not repeat what it said. She is afraid that saying it out loud will make things worse.Two real callers. Two true ghost stories about what happens when something decides to attach itself and never let go.
