True Ghost Stories: The Ghost of Marilyn Monroe on a California Beach, Something That Followed Adam Home, and the Tall Man in the Doorway

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 from three completely different corners of the paranormal world. A ghost who did not know she was dead and had a message she needed the living to hear. Two ghost hunters who used a black mirror and brought something home without realizing it. A four-year-old girl in Queensland, Australia, who looked up and found a Tall Man standing in her doorway, and has been thinking about him ever since.Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana, calls in with a true ghost story from a trip to Hollywood with her grandparents after graduating high school in 1977. Walking along the Pacific Ocean one evening, they were approached by a woman in a long white evening gown carrying white leather sandals who seemed lost and confused. Cindy and her grandmother were both psychic, and they recognized her immediately. It was Marilyn Monroe. She did not know who she was or where she was. When Cindy told her, she regained her composure and delivered her message. She did not commit suicide. Somebody else did it for her. Then she walked back down the beach with a man whose face they could not see and disappeared into the sunset, leaving a trail of footprints in the sand. Michelle's research confirmed that Marilyn Monroe's spirit has been reported across Los Angeles for decades, in her home, on the Santa Monica Pier, and in the ladies' rooms of hotels across Hollywood.Adam from Decatur, Illinois, is a twenty-year paranormal investigator who always dismissed the question of whether something might follow him home from a haunted location until the summer of 2016. He and his friend Jake visited a house with a history of murder, suicide, a major fire, and construction on top of a Native American burial ground. They used a black mirror for scrying, experienced nothing unusual, and drove home in opposite directions, arriving back at roughly 1 AM. Adam got out of his car and was hit with an overwhelming feeling of absolute silence and the specific sensation of someone standing directly behind him. He turned around. Nobody was there. His phone rang immediately. It was Jake calling from his driveway six minutes away, asking if Adam was home and why it was so completely quiet outside. Two people. Two driveways. The same silence. The same presence. The same moment.Lisa is an Aboriginal woman of the Gomeroi Nation based in Queensland, Australia, and the host of the Proppa Scary Podcast, a show dedicated to First Nations paranormal stories from Australia and Indigenous communities around the world. She was four years old when she woke in the night and saw a Tall Man standing in her bedroom doorway. Very tall. Very thin. Wearing a hat. No visible face. He stared at her, and she stared back. She rolled over to face the wall and whispered please go away until she fell back to sleep. She never saw him again. But she has never stopped thinking about him, and the Tall Man in the doorway is now the artwork for her podcast. Follow Lisa at Proppa Scary Podcast on Instagram.Three real callers.
