Tell Me A Ghost Story

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's four calls span a movie theater in 1978, a hotel in Santa Barbara, a psychiatric hospital basement, and a farm in Indiana where something was killing deer. This episode is available as a video on Spotify and YouTube.David calls in with a true ghost story from 1978, when he went to see Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at a nearly empty theater in Gainesville, Florida. He and his friend sat in a row with plenty of open seats. About thirty seconds later, a woman appeared in the seat beside him, pulled her purse toward herself, and told him that if he did not get away from her immediately, she was calling the cops. David ran. When he turned around, there was nobody there. Jules from Santa Barbara returns with a true ghost story from her work at the Mar monte Hotel. A guest had posted on TikTok about an experience in one of the rooms, detailed enough and specific enough that Jules and the director of rooms decided to check the vacant room themselves. The room looked completely ordinary until they looked at the bed. Their housekeepers make beds with near-perfect precision every single time, and this bed had a deep indent on one side, the kind of indent a person's weight leaves behind, in a room nobody had slept in. Jules got a photo before they ran out. If this is your first time hearing from Jules, she has called in before about a man who walked through a solid wall at a hostel in Vancouver and a ghost child who followed her through a Brooklyn apartment. Article: "I went looking for a haunted hotel in Santa Barbara. What I found was a city full of ghosts." By Julie TremaineGary D returns with his third call to Tell Me A Ghost Story. Fresh out of high school, he took a job in the basement archive of an old psychiatric hospital, transferring decades of patient records into digital files, completely alone in a cobblestone basement with flickering lights and dark corners. The chain rattling started within the first few weeks. Then a voice from the darkest corner said, "Help me" while he was reading the file of a patient with a documented history of hearing voices and seeing things. Staff told him his mind was playing tricks in exactly the kind of environment that plays tricks on people. Then during a storm, the power went out completely, and something dragged itself toward him through the dark, breathing heavily, before the lights came back on to reveal nobody there. In his final month, a stack of boxes fell on its own, and something shoved him hard enough from behind to knock him to his hands and knees. Staff eventually confirmed that unregulated experimental treatments had taken place in that exact section of the basement decades earlier. Gary believes whatever is down there was trying to communicate and did not want him in that space.Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana calls in with a story from her grandfather's farm in Seymour, Indiana, where deer in the area were being killed by something nobody could identify. Her father, an early paranormal investigator, took the men in the family out to the woods at night with rifles to find it. Four real callers. Four true ghost stories.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week we have a classic season three episode bringing together six true ghost stories from our callers to celebrate the dark nights of Summer-ween. Now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube for the first time.Sophie from Los Angeles calls in with a true ghost story about the house her family bought when she was young. Her little brother refused to go into one room from the moment they arrived and kept telling their mother that the man in the chair smelled. The family assumed imaginary friend until they discovered a man named Sal had died in that exact room. Sal apparently had a strong smell in life and kept it in death. Brennan Storr from The Ghost Story Guys returns with more shadow figure encounters. If you heard his first call on Accidental Exorcism you already know his history with shadow people. A house near his home in Victoria caused him and his wife to have the same intruder dream on two separate nights after simply driving past it. Then in Montreal a shadow figure in a hooded robe appeared standing over him in the night. When he gasped it did not disappear. It sucked back into the closet like the end of Poltergeist. Cindy calls in with a ghost pet story. Her father's greyhound Sparky lived to fourteen and after he died the family heard it downstairs. Click click click. Dog toenails on linoleum moving in the same familiar pattern to the top of the stairs, then stopping. Jules from Santa Barbara calls in with a ghost story that begins at a youth hostel in Vancouver in 2001 and spans decades. She saw a man in a top hat walk through a solid wall at 2 AM. What followed over years was a series of encounters, including a ghost child in a Brooklyn apartment who followed her everywhere and eventually had to be given firm boundaries about which rooms she could enter. Jules ultimately made a conscious decision to close herself off to the paranormal entirely and has been largely undisturbed since 2008.Erica from San Diego returns with her fourth call. She woke on the couch at her mother's house to find a tall dark figure with a pointed hat at the entrance of the hallway. The moment she registered it, the figure darted down the hall, and she chased it. When she reached the hallway, it was gone. Her dog did not bark. What Erica encountered is what thousands of independent eyewitnesses call the Hat Man, a shadow figure described as seven to ten feet tall wearing a fedora-style hat, observed standing over people while they sleep across cultures and continents with a consistency that makes it one of the most documented shadow entity phenomena in paranormal research.Nellie from Illinois returns. She and her mother were talking when both caught it at the same moment. A dark shadow the size of a child moving across the edge of their vision. Neither said anything until Nellie turned and asked did you see that. She had.And Maggie from Everett, Washington calls in about the man in the suit, the resident ghost of the hundred-year-old building where she works. Polite. Slightly mischievous. Not malicious. The man in the suit is apparently still very much on the clock.Six real callers. Six true ghost stories for dark summer nights.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and tonight we have four calls, a spirit box that said something only three sisters in the room could understand. A ghost named Bob who made coffee every morning in a house he no longer lived in. Something at a 1970s Halloween party in Southern Ontario that sat with Gary D for thirty minutes and left a wet slime trail out the front door. And Cindy Ketron, who owns a haunted portrait of Marilyn Monroe. This episode is also available as video on Spotify or YouTube.Trina from Norwich calls in with a true ghost story from a paranormal investigation at a cultural heritage center where she and her sisters volunteer. The spirit box said one name first. Then later in the night it said two more words. Small boy limp. Their father had polio when he was three years old. He walked with a stunted leg his entire life. Nobody in that room could have known that. Nobody could have planted it. It sounded like a grandmother reporting what she saw from the outside, the way someone who watched a small boy limp would describe it rather than the way the family would.Angelica from Marietta, California calls in with a true ghost story about moving into her in-laws' house and meeting Bob. Bob had a morning routine. Cabinet opening. Mugs rattling. Sliding glass door opening and then closing behind him. Angelica heard it all from upstairs and came down to find nobody there. Gary D from Southern Ontario returns with his second call. If you heard his first story about falling through ice at midnight and hearing a 1920s New Year's Eve party playing in an abandoned pavilion basement, you already know that Gary has a particular gift for being present when something genuinely inexplicable happens. This one is from a Halloween party in the 1970s. Something glided across the room and sat down across from him at a corner table. Tentacles hanging from its shoulders, wet and glistening and moving independently the way actual tentacles move. In the 1970s. Before animatronics. Before computer chips in costumes. It never spoke. Not a single friend at that party saw it. And Cindy Ketron from Indianapolis calls in with a haunted portrait story that I have been thinking about since I first heard it. Cindy owns a studio portrait of Marilyn Monroe, the iconic image of her standing over the grate in New York City with her skirt billowing. Every year on August 4th, the anniversary of Marilyn's death, the portrait knocks three times. And when Cindy comes into the room, the eyes in the portrait are open wider than usual, looking horrified, as if she cannot believe this is happening again. There is a story about Marilyn that feels relevant here. She was once walking down a street in New York City completely unrecognized, and a friend asked if she was sure nobody knew who she was. Marilyn said, "Do you want to see her?" And then she shifted. Something in her posture changed, and within moments people were stopping and crowding around her. She could turn Marilyn Monroe on like a switch. What knocks in Cindy's apartment every August 4th is not the woman. It is the presence. And the presence is apparently still very much here.Four real callers. Four true ghost stories.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle. Something spooky is going on in the Lone Star State. This is a classic season two compilation episode bringing together six true ghost stories from Texas callers, now available as a full video on both Spotify and YouTube for the first time.Tyler from Texas returns with the second of his two paranormal stories and this one goes to a darker place than his first call. After a tragic car accident outside his apartment in Oak Cliff, Dallas, something moved in with him. What Tyler came to believe he was dealing with was a succubus, a malevolent spirit with a documented history across cultures dating back thousands of years. Tyler sought the help of a priest. The activity eventually subsided. He has thought about why ever since.Gabby from Texas calls in with a haunted house story that is not about a single encounter or a one-time event. It is about living inside a paranormal situation every single day. Strange things happening in the morning. At night. In the ordinary moments of domestic life that are supposed to feel safe. Gabby's house has made it clear regularly that she is not the only one there, and she has had to figure out how to keep living in it anyway.Karl from Texas describes a paranormal presence inside his church, the specific and deeply unsettling experience of feeling something wrong in a space that is supposed to be protected. Churches have some of the most documented paranormal histories of any building type, and Karl's encounter adds to that record with the kind of specific detail that makes it impossible to dismiss.LaSondra calls in with a ghost encounter that happened in the most private and ordinary space in her home, and discovered that privacy means nothing to whatever was sharing her bathroom. The shower ghost is specific in what it did and how it made itself known, and LaSondra has not entirely reconciled herself to the experience since.Alexandra from Texas takes us house hunting and finds something she was not looking for. She was simply trying to find somewhere to live when the properties she toured made clear they already had occupants who had not agreed to leave. Texas strikes again.Lauren calls in with her experience of spirit orbs, the widely debated paranormal phenomenon that sits at the intersection of photography, consciousness, and the question of what exactly a spirit looks like when it decides to make itself visible. Her encounter with a black orb in her boyfriend's house connected to the spirit of a previous owner who apparently never finished being there.Six real callers. Six true ghost stories. All Texas.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, I took an extended break by accident. It was my birthday, and then I published this comedy book that has nothing to do with the paranormal. Now I'm back with this week's calls, and each involves seeing something that should not be there. Brandy from Marysville, Ohio, calls in with a true ghost story from a girls' weekend in Yellow Springs, a small Ohio town with a long history as a gathering place for people with a sensitivity to the unexplained. Brandy bought a dark smoky quartz crystal and that night showed it to her friend Emily, asking if she saw anything in it. Emily said it looks like a guy wearing a hat. Exactly what Brandy had seen and had not said out loud. The next morning a man in a long trench coat and a hat walked out of an antique store in town. She recoginzed him immedently: the man in her crystal...Larissa from Texas returns with another call. If you heard her first story about Frank the pocket watch ghost at the medical examiner's office, you already know Larissa has a particular attunement to the paranormal. This story is about her daughter who was three years old when they moved into an apartment in Brownwood, Texas. Her daughter told her there was a tall man in the closet. He waved at her. He was not mean. Then he started asking her to come into the closet. "He cannot come past the carpet," her daughter said. Then he started keeping her up at night and becoming more aggressive. Larissa used holy water in the closet and her daughter's room, and prayed, and the man never came back. Her daughter is older now and still remembers him and drew a picture, which is the picture featured on this episode's show art. Sent in by Larrissa.Sapphire Sandalo calls in with a true ghost story from a regular Thursday afternoon. At a four-way traffic stop, a woman in a long, bright red skirt stood perfectly still at the corner holding white bags. Her face did not make sense, blurred, obscured like a filter, but her eyes were clear and glowing underneath it. Honey colored with very bright whites. Sapphire's husband turned left past her. He had not seen her at all. Sapphire drew the woman and sent the drawing to her cousin without explanation. Her cousin had just pulled an oracle card she felt compelled to pull. The card was of a woman with glowing eyes and dark skin wearing red. It was Kali. At the exact moment Sapphire had texted her medium friend Stephanie about the encounter, Stephanie had been listening to a podcast about a woman who saw someone she thought was living and later realized was a ghost. Coincidence? I think not. Sapphire doesn't know yet whether the woman in red was a ghost or something older. But she now thinks about her every time she drives through that intersection. Sapphire hosts Stories With Sapphire, a paranormal podcast where people submit ghost stories she narrates or tells in their own words. Find her on Instagram at @sapphire_sandalo, (also where you can see her drawing of the lady in red!!) or on YouTube at Sapphire Sandalo. She also has a horror short film called BREEDER currently making the festival circuit.Three real callers. Three true ghost stories.

Hey it's Michelle, A Civil War battlefield in Pennsylvania. A sidewalk in Orange County at night. A grandmother who came back to say she was not finished. A spirit that followed someone home from Oahu. And a ghost in New Zealand who had opinions about being asked to leave. This is another classic season 2 compilation episode, bringing together five of the most unforgettable true ghost stories from earlier in the series and from all around the world. And for the first time, this episode is now available as a full video on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can finally watch as well as listen.Paige from Los Angeles calls in with a true ghost story from her middle school field trip to Gettysburg, one of the most extensively documented paranormal locations in the United States. In three days in July 1863, more than fifty thousand soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing on that ground. Paige was there to learn about Civil War history. What she encountered on that battlefield went significantly beyond the curriculum, and what she brought home with her afterward made clear that something on that ground had decided to come along. Roc from Orange County returns with another call. If you have followed Roc's story across the early episodes, you already know about the man shot outside his grandparents' motel, the spirit at the bedroom window at 3 AM, and the phantom phone calls from a disconnected booth. This time, Roc was outside in the middle of the night when he saw a woman crying on the sidewalk. He went toward her because that is what you do. What happened when he got close enough to see her properly is what he called in to tell us about. The question is exactly the right one. What would you do if you saw a woman crying on the sidewalk in the middle of the night? Dave from Sioux Falls returns with a true ghost story about his grandmother Nonna, whose love apparently did not end when she died. Dave's connection to her was deep enough that when she passed, something of her stayed behind, making itself known in the specific and personal ways that only someone who knew him well could have managed. Nonna's story is one of those true ghost encounters that does not frighten so much as it stays with you because it is fundamentally about love that refuses to recognize the boundary between the living and the dead.Chelsi from Los Angeles calls in with a haunted house story with an extra layer of difficulty built into it. The house belonged to her mother. The vibes were profoundly off from the moment Chelsi set foot in it. Something was not right and she felt it clearly and consistently every time she was there. Her mother did not feel it. Or did not want to.Jasmine from Portland calls in with a ghost story from a stay in New Zealand, where the property had an elderly ghost who had decided the space was hers. Jasmine did not accept that arrangement. What she did about it is the heart of this episode, and the consequences of asking a ghost to leave when the ghost has been there considerably longer than you have are something Jasmine describes with the kind of pragmatic directness that makes her call one of the most memorable in the early archive. Some ghosts do not leave quietly.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week we have three real callers. Three true ghost stories from a morgue in Texas, a kitchen in Minnesota, and a frozen basement in Southern Ontario. This episode is also available as video on Spotify or Youtube.Larissa from Texas calls in with a true ghost story from her time working as an investigator at a medical examiner's office. Late nights, intakes, autopsies, and a presence she named Frank. Frank has a pocket watch. He wears dress shoes. He walks the hallway with the unhurried energy of someone who has been at that threshold for a long time and sees no reason to cross it. When Larissa told him probably not tonight sir he left. When her coworker heard the pocket watch open right next to his desk instead of down the hallway where Frank usually roams, the coworker clocked out immediately and went home. Medical examiner offices are among the most consistently reported paranormal workplaces in documented research, threshold spaces where some presences simply choose to linger. Frank is one of those presences. He has a pocket watch and he is in no hurry.Anne from St Paul, Minnesota calls in with a true ghost story from her work as a residential cleaner. Left alone in a client's home she was scrubbing cabinets hard when she heard it clearly. Thank you. Nobody else was in the house. The client's cat is in dialysis and not doing well and the space carried the specific weight of someone watching a beloved animal decline. Something in that house was paying attention to Anne working in it, and what it felt was gratitude. Not get out. Not help me. Thank you. In a show full of frightening encounters Anne's call stands out because the presence she encountered was not trying to scare her. It was trying to say something kind.Gary D from Southern Ontario calls in with a true ghost story that begins with two teenagers falling through ice at midnight in well below zero temperatures and nearly dying, and somehow gets stranger from there. He and his friend John broke into an abandoned pavilion from the 1920s to survive the cold, wrapping themselves in burlap sacks in the basement while their hair froze solid. And then from above them they heard it. Big band music. Dozens of voices laughing and talking. Clinking glasses. Someone at a microphone working a crowd. Dancing. The full sound of a packed New Year's Eve celebration directly above them on a dance floor that when they climbed up to check had a heavy layer of undisturbed filth and snow lying across it. No people. No band. No footprints. Nothing. The music started twice and stopped twice like a switch being flipped. Gary raises the hypothermia explanation himself and it deserves consideration. But hypothermia does not produce identical shared hallucinations between two people who can confirm each other's perceptions in real time. Residual haunting, the specific paranormal category where a space replays its most emotionally concentrated memories like a recording, fits what Gary and John heard far better than any neurological explanation. The pavilion absorbed decades of New Year's Eve celebrations, and on the night two frozen teenagers sat in its basement, it played one back. They also found a large pile of long, brown, curly human hair between the barrels with no explanation. Gary does not know what that was. Neither do I.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this one is special. This is our first-ever compilation episode, bringing together eight of the most unforgettable true ghost stories from our first season callers in one place. And for the first time, this episode is now available as a full video on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can finally watch as well as listen. If you are new to Tell Me A Ghost Story, this is the perfect place to start. If you have been listening from the beginning, welcome back to the stories that started it all.Eight real callers. Eight true paranormal encounters. Here is what is waiting for you.Carlos from Los Angeles introduces us to Daisy, his ghost roommate. Daisy is not threatening. She is not hostile. She gives Carlos advice and seems to have opinions about how he is living his life. Carlos has learned to listen to her, and honestly, after hearing his call, I understand why.Heather from Mesa, Arizona, takes us to the Grand Hotel in Jerome, one of the most documented haunted hotels in the American Southwest. Jerome was a copper mining town built on violence and sudden death, and the Grand Hotel has been absorbing that history for over a century. Heather was in her room when a voice told her to turn down the TV. There was no TV on.Greg from Echo Park in Los Angeles calls in with a Lady in White encounter from his childhood, a ghostly figure rooted in one of the oldest and most widely documented supernatural archetypes in Western paranormal history. Greg's encounter with her is as personal and unsettling as any we have received.Yvonne from the Philippines returns with her dark figure story, the shadowy presence that chased her up the stairs at her aunt's house. If this is your first time hearing Yvonne's calls, there are more of them in the archive, and every single one is worth finding.Hector from New Mexico details a series of paranormal events that keep happening at 3:33 AM, the hour that appears in supernatural accounts across cultures and centuries, with a consistency that researchers find impossible to attribute to coincidence. Hector has the scratches to prove it.Deborah from Seattle takes us back to the séance at Fort Wright College with the theater students who were not entirely prepared for what answered back. Eerie sounds. Unexpected responses. A room full of people who went in curious and came out changed.Nellie from Illinois shares her experience with the little ghost girl who appeared in her childhood home. If you have been following Nellie's calls across the early episodes, you already know her house revealed itself one room at a time. The little girl was one of the first signs that something was there.And finally Dave from Sioux Falls calls in with a babysitting story that starts as an ordinary job and ends somewhere considerably more unsettling. Dave has called in before with paranormal encounters that stay with you, and this one is no exception.Eight true ghost stories. One compilation episode. This is where Tell Me A Ghost Story found its voice.  If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's four calls have stayed with me longer than most. A ghost child seen by five military witnesses in a San Diego cemetery. A beloved cat who died twenty years ago still comes home. Footsteps that walked through a front door with nobody attached to them. And a dog named Biscuit who stopped on a trail near the Green River and found something in the weeds that the police came to bag in silence. Available on Spotify and YouTube as a video podcast.Scott from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, calls in with a true ghost story from his time stationed in Southern California. He was required to attend a military funeral at a San Diego cemetery, and after most people had left, he and four others were standing in the parking lot when they all smelled formaldehyde at once. Strong enough to be physically sickening. Coming from a little boy walking the cemetery grounds in blue pajamas that looked like they were from the seventies. His feet were not quite touching the grass. He gave the five of them an angry look, and every instinct said run. They ran to their cars. As they drove away, every single one of them checked the rearview mirror, and every single one of them saw the same boy vanish at the exact same moment. Five military witnesses. One disappearance. No explanation.James from San Francisco returns with his second call. If you heard his first story about the sage and the basement and the windows slamming on Post Street. He lives where Dashiell Hammett wrote The Maltese Falcon, and he has been sharing it for twenty years with the ghost of his cat Ow, who died after almost two decades together, and that's just the beginning. Chase from Mesa, Arizona, returns with his second call. His first was about the disembodied voice in a Kansas basement that asked hey do you know me twice and waited for an answer. This story is from the same house. One evening, the group was downstairs when they heard the aluminum screen door open and slam, and then footsteps cross the living room above them and stop. Chase's brother ran upstairs, thinking it was his girlfriend. The footsteps moved into one of the bedrooms. His brother came back down with Oreos and no girlfriend and no explanation. Ten minutes passed before anyone said it out loud. The screen door had opened. The footsteps had crossed the floor. Something had gone into that bedroom. Nobody was there.Ashley from Washington State calls in with the heaviest call of the episode. She used to walk her dog Biscuit along a trail near the Green River, the same stretch of river where Gary Ridgway left his victims for years before they were found. One night, Biscuit stopped and would not move. Ashley looked down and found something long, pale, and curved in the weeds beside the bank. She told herself it was a branch. Something bone-like about it would not let her walk away. She called the police. They came. They bagged it. The older officer looked at her the way people look when they are deciding how much to tell you, and said they needed to run tests. That was all he said. Ashley knows what was found along that river during those years. Four real callers. Four true ghost stories.

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.

Hey, it's Michelle, and tonight's four calls are connected by something I did not notice until I had heard all of them together. Every single one of these callers was somewhere they were supposed to feel safe. A hotel room on a solo road trip. A basement bedroom in a college house. A family apartment they had lived in for years. A cemetery on a curious afternoon. And every single one of them found out that safe is not always the whole story. This episode is available as a video on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can watch as well as listen.Four real callers. Four true ghost stories. Here is what is waiting for you.Our first caller was driving solo from California to Portland when she pulled off Interstate 5 near Gilroy and checked into a Motel 6 for the night. She was tired. The room was run-down. The hotel felt empty. She dozed off, and when she looked across the room, there was a man sitting in the chair by the credenza. Gallard mustache. Baggy pants. Both hands on the armrests. Wide legs. Completely at ease. Just watching her sleep. She woke herself up screaming for her mother and slept with the light on until morning. Whatever was in that chair was gone the moment the light came on. She checked out at dawn and did not look back.Chase from Mesa, Arizona, takes us to a basement in Salina, Kansas, in 2008, where he and his roommate, Travis, heard something that has no explanation. Travis was in the shower. Chase was sleeping in the next room. A woman's voice said, "Hey, do you know me?" They looked at each other. Thirty seconds of silence. Then the voice again. "Hey, do you know me?" The neighbors were all at school. It was only the two of them in the house. Whatever was asking that question was asking it directly and patiently and it was waiting for an answer. Chase says there is more but that is the real weird one. Chase please call back.Our caller from San Antonio, Texas describes years of escalating paranormal activity in a family apartment from 1987 to 1991. An old woman in a 1900s style dress watching from beside the bed and smiling. A young woman in white on the stairs who his father stepped aside to let pass before she vanished. Voices calling his name from empty rooms. Lights turning on and off. Someone poking him on the back in the bathroom when he was completely alone. The dog was terrified for no reason. And persistent water leaks that kept getting worse, no matter how many repairs were made. Worth noting that chronic water damage can lead to toxic mold exposure, which has documented neurological effects, including auditory and visual hallucinations. Whether that explains what happened in that apartment or whether the apartment had something in it that the mold could not account for, the family eventually had to leave. The activity made that decision for them.And finally, Cindy Ketron from Haunted Avon, Indiana, returns with the story of a cemetery in Seymour, Indiana, in 1987, in a section filled with children's graves from the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 to 1919. The Spanish flu killed between fifty and one hundred million people worldwide in roughly two years, among them a devastating number of children, and small town cemeteries across America still hold the concentrated grief of communities that buried their young faster than they could process the loss. Cindy and her family had no relatives in that cemetery. They were simply curious. Then Brian said, " Mom, look." A disembodied child's hand was crawling up through the grave, raising its fingers as if feeling for where it was going. Cindy's mom said, "Run". They ran. When they came back months later with a flashlight, there was nothing there at all.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this one is a little different from our usual calls. This week, I am joined by Brennan Storr, host of The Ghost Story Guys podcast and author of A Strange Little Place: The Hauntings and Unexplained Events of One Small Town. Brennan spends a lot of his time collecting and telling other people's true ghost stories. This time, he is telling his own. This is now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can watch as well as listen for the first time.Brennan grew up a skeptic. He did not believe in ghosts, did not look for them, and had no particular interest in the paranormal. Then he moved to Victoria, British Columbia, one of the most historically haunted cities in Canada, and something at his workplace changed that permanently.It started with a shadowy figure. A dark shape Brennan glimpsed at the edge of his vision that had no business being there. What followed was a series of real ghost encounters with shadow figures that grew more frequent and more unsettling over time. Not threatening exactly, but wrong in a way that Brennan struggled to put into words. The experiences left him feeling genuinely depressed and unwell in a way he could not explain and could not shake.What changed everything was an elderly Indigenous man named Dennis. Through Dennis, Brennan was introduced to the concept of the wrong spirit, the idea that something had attached itself to him that did not belong there. What followed was a spiritual cleansing ritual that Brennan describes as one of the most profoundly disorienting and clarifying experiences of his life. He walked in as a skeptic, carrying something heavy. He walked out changed.The shadow figures have not entirely gone away. But Brennan's relationship to them has shifted in ways that this episode will make you think about long after it ends. This is a true ghost story about what happens when the person who collects haunting tales becomes the one being haunted.Brennan Storr is the host of The Ghost Story Guys and the co-host of Fear Daily with Southern Gothic creator Brandon Schexnayder. His book A Strange Little Place is available now.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and happy April. I figured the only appropriate way to kick off the month was with three calls that will make you question every sound you hear in your house tonight. There is a full video for this episode on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can watch as well as listen.Three callers. Three true ghost stories from three completely different corners of the world. And every single one of them is real.Hannah from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, introduces us to Edith. Edith lives in a converted Victorian home that is now a music school, and she has opinions. She turns the dishwasher on and off on command. She flicks the lights when the kids misbehave. She does not tolerate angry energy in her space. And when the school moved to a new building a few blocks away, Edith moved with them. Hannah was staring right at that dishwasher when it turned itself off. So was the whole choir.Then James from San Francisco calls in from the early nineties with a story about a murder house on High Street and what happened when he tried to sage the basement where the blood had run. The room got colder the moment he lit the sage. Light bulbs popped. Windows slammed. James ran. He did not go back to do laundry there again.Edwin from Scary FM joins us from Ecuador, where he is staying in a house with a history that nobody in the family likes to talk about. Footsteps on the second floor when no one is up there. A knock at the front door with no one outside. And a dog who is too lazy to investigate but will not stop barking at the stairs. Edwin has been rationalizing these things for a long time. After the night, the footsteps came fast and heavy across the ceiling while he and his wife sat at the kitchen counter, and he stopped trying.Three true ghost stories. One very eventful April.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this compilation is a big one: nine calls covering everything from a ghostly Marilyn Monroe on a California beach to a Dogman at a sliding glass door. Now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube for the first time.Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana opens with a story from a 1977 trip to Hollywood with her grandparents. Walking the beach at the Pacific, they encountered a confused, disoriented woman in a white evening gown who did not seem to know who or where she was. It was Marilyn Monroe. According to a Hollywood Reporter piece, Marilyn's spirit has reportedly been seen everywhere from her own former home to the ladies' room of the Hollywood Roosevelt.Adam from Decatur, Illinois, a twenty-year paranormal investigator, calls in about the one time he learned the answer to a question he'd always been asked: can something follow you home? Lisa, an Aboriginal woman of the Gomeroi Nation, calls in with a story from when she was four years old, waking to a tall, thin figure in a hat standing in her bedroom doorway. She has carried the memory her whole life and turned it into the artwork and inspiration for her own show, Proppa Scary Podcast, featuring First Nations paranormal stories.Phil from Chattanooga shares a story that sounds like fiction but is disturbingly real. A young Marine took a shortcut through the woods near the old Tri State Crematorium in Noble, Georgia, and found himself surrounded by shadow figures. The crematorium's owner had been discovered storing over 300 uncremated bodies in a barn rather than cremating them, a scandal that leveled the small town when it broke. You can fact-check every detail of this one.Cindy Ketron returns with a second story from the 1980s, when her family came face to face with a six-foot, black-haired creature at their sliding glass door, growling and slapping the glass. Her father, convinced it was a werewolf, ran for a chest of silver coins. It worked. This is the Michigan Dogman, a documented cryptid with over a hundred independent reported sightings.Hendel from Long Island describes three increasingly strange nights at a Los Angeles hostel, including a roommate whose body impossibly repositioned itself mid-laugh, and a violent, room-shaking earthquake that no seismic record or hostel staff member can confirm ever happened.Christina, host of Espooky Tales on the Scary FM Network, recalls the night her chair was yanked out from under her by something her younger brother had been warning them about the whole time: shadow people who apparently do not like being mocked.Carla shares the shortest and most quietly moving story of the batch, an ongoing, loving presence from a partner who passed in 2020 that she describes simply as a gift that keeps giving.And Nellie from Plainview, Illinois closes the episode with a Mexican folk phenomenon her grandmother always warned her about, se te subió el muerto, the dead climbing on top of you while you sleep. At eighteen, she felt exactly that.Nine real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's four calls span a childhood spent finding comfort in the strangest of places, the true and unsolved crime behind one of America's most famous urban legends, two hours of being circled in the Oregon wilderness, and a dog who came with a previous owner attached. Now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube for the first time.Erica from San Diego, now living in Eastern North Carolina, returns with a story she says slipped her mind until recently. Growing up in an abusive household, she would retreat to a closet space in her bedroom during her parents' worst fights. There, a girl named Sally would find her. Elongated face, dark hollow eyes with no visible whites, an expression stuck in a permanent frown; she should have been terrifying. Instead she offered comfort, always asking if Erica was okay, always encouraging her to go play outside with the other kids. Erica still knows every child she grew up with on that block. None of them remember a girl named Sally.Bobby from Little Rock, Arkansas shares his grandmother's firsthand account of where the Hook Man legend actually came from, and it is not the urban myth everyone thinks they know. In 1946, a masked gunman known as the Phantom Killer terrorized Texarkana, attacking couples parked in secluded lovers' lanes and ultimately murdering five people before vanishing without a trace. The case has never been solved. In the aftermath, rumors spread of a man with a hook for a hand, and within a decade that detail calcified into the campfire story every American teenager has heard. Bobby's grandmother lived through the real terror as a teenager in Texarkana and never parked on a secluded road again for the rest of her life.Rob from Eugene, Oregon calls in with a backcountry camping trip in the Cascades that he still cannot explain. Something began circling his and his friend Chris's campsite just outside the firelight for two full hours, walking on two legs, never approaching, never leaving. At 11 PM it stopped completely, and the entire forest went dead silent. At 3 AM, slow, deliberate breathing came from right outside their tent. Rob has not been back to that area. Chris has given up backcountry camping entirely.And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana closes the episode with the story of Tamara, a Pekingese who came to her family in 1981 after two previous owners connected to the dog had died. On the first night, the dog growled and barked at something unseen until Cindy addressed the room directly and told the previous owner's spirit that Tamara was loved and would be cared for. A window flew open, the lights went out, and the dog let out a long mournful howl before everything went still again. The family kept Tamara for ten more peaceful years.Four real callers. Four true ghost stories.If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's six calls cover more paranormal ground than almost any other episode this season. James from San Francisco returns with his third call, this time about his decade working at UCSF Medical Center on Parnassus, one of the most documented haunted hospitals in California. The kitchen where he worked used to be a morgue. Volcanic smoke rose from urinals with no explanation. Voices spoke in bathrooms that fell silent the moment he opened the door. Invisible hands pulled at his jacket on the basement stairs. He heard rumors of an exorcism on the eighth floor of the Children's Wing in the early 1980s. James has now called in three times and every building he touches has a story.Melissa from Pittsburgh calls in about Graystone House, a stone mansion built in the 1700s as a stagecoach inn and brothel, later converted into a group home for teenage boys. Every single day at exactly 6 PM the doorbell rings across multiple doors. Nobody is ever there. Faucets turn on at full blast in empty rooms. Whatever is in that house has been doing this long enough that it has a schedule.A caller shares a true paranormal story about a five-bedroom rental house with one room nobody can keep occupied. Four different tenants have rented the room by the main entryway, and all four ended up in serious addiction or rehab. The connection between that specific room and that specific pattern of suffering raises a question that this episode seriously sits with. What if some spaces hold hunger? What if desperation can soak into walls the same way smoke does. Michelle explores Dr Gabor Mate's concept of hungry ghosts and the Buddhist tradition of beings trapped in endless cycles of craving as a lens for understanding what that room might be doing.Chuck from Upstate New York calls in about the woman in the empty lot in his neighborhood, the site of a house that burned down decades ago. She stands in the weeds and broken concrete, wearing something pale and perfectly still. But only in peripheral vision. The moment you look directly at her, she is not there. Chuck and multiple neighbors have all seen her. Nobody has ever seen her move.Diane from Sedona is a practicing diviner who calls in with a Ouija board session that crossed a line she did not expect to cross. She was helping a man contact his deceased father when her hands went ice cold, and her body began shaking uncontrollably. She describes feeling squished inside her own body, making room for something else. She has no memory of what was said. When she came back to herself, the skeptic she had been reading for was pale and shaking because she had told him things only his father could have known. The planchette had kept moving with only her finger on it.And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana, calls in with a family story from the Great Depression. Her great-grandfather was working in a hayfield when a man in a business suit appeared with a notepad and pencil and offered to solve his problems in exchange for something. Great-grandfather asked what would happen if he simply did not want the offer. The devil did not know what to do with that answer and disappeared. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do to something that wants power over you is refuse to be afraid of it.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.

Hey, it's Michelle, and you all brought it this week. I got actual goosebumps going through the voicemails. Sarah from Luther, Alabama, calls in with a true ghost story from her time living in Florida. She and her ex were pulling into a friend's driveway when she saw a man standing at the front door. Long hair, shorts, t-shirt, AND she could see his socks. A completely ordinary-looking person. He walked straight into the door and was gone. When they went inside, she kept asking if anyone else was there. Nobody was. When she mentioned it to the homeowner, he told her his brother-in-law had seen the exact same man walking through his house. The same description. The same door.Tessa calls in with a haunted doll story that is unlike almost anything else in the archive. She grew up as a military kid, and when she was five, her family rented a three-story Victorian house in East Texas. The attic held a long glass case filled with about a hundred porcelain dolls belonging to the owner. One with red hair, green eyes, and a blue silk dress caught Tessa's heart. Her father said no and locked the attic door. A month later, Tessa came home and found the red-haired doll sitting on her bed. Her father took it straight back to the attic. The door was still locked. His key was still in his pocket. James, a caller from San Francisco shares a story from 1993 about working alone in an estate jewelry office on Post Street. One afternoon, the doorbell rang, nobody was there, and he saw a tall man in a red flannel shirt in the hallway, whom he took to be his coworker Brett. Seconds later, the phone rang. It was Brett calling from outside the building. The doorbells kept ringing the entire time he worked there.Ashley calls in with a Queen Mary story that did not end when her family left the ship. On a tour with twelve family members, a younger cousin got scared, and her Aunt L took him to the elevator alone. A small hand grabbed her knee. Nobody was there. Back home in Utah, the family found a little girl in a blue gown in one of their pool photographs. Ashley's mom began writing a book about the experience. Every time she sat down to work on it, the computer crashed, sent the manuscript in unreadable code, and shut itself off. Ashley started hearing wet squelching footsteps in the basement at night and found small puddles on the carpet with no explanation. Lights flickered. Children's laughter echoed through the house. The second Ashley's mom typed the final word of the book, everything stopped. Whatever needed that story told got what it needed and was done.And finally, Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana, calls in with a story about her grandfather after her grandmother Grace passed away in 1982. Alone in the house, he woke at 1 AM to thumping in the bedroom and called out Grace's name. From that night forward, he heard a heartbeat every single night until he died. A special shoutout this week to Glen from Windsor, Nova Scotia, who called in to wish their mom a Merry Christmas. Glen's mom, thank you for listening. Your child loves you very much.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.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's three calls take us into a former mortuary in Michigan, a terrifying encounter on a dark road in upstate New York, and a hundred-year-old story of loyalty at a pet cemetery in Los Angeles. Now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube for the first time.Tony from Ypsilanti, Michigan calls in with a story from the early 1990s about his college girlfriend's Victorian-era apartment, where a full loaf of bread once vanished from one cabinet only to reappear moments later in another. Beds shook. Showers turned on in the night. On one occasion, with every roommate confirmed away and the building otherwise empty, Tony heard what sounded like ten people walking through the house. A hidden trapdoor system running from the basement to the top floor suggested the building once had a small elevator, and research at the local historical society revealed the house had operated as a mortuary around 1890. A camcorder left recording overnight in a corner nobody could reach without being filmed shut off on its own after thirty-five minutes, with a fully charged battery. Ten years later, Tony returned to find new college-aged tenants who confirmed everything was still happening exactly as it had before.Angela from upstate New York calls in with a genuinely harrowing encounter on Route 9 late at night. A woman in a long white dress stood motionless in the middle of the road, hair covering her face, refusing to respond. As Angela hesitated, a man emerged from the trees and began walking toward her car. She reversed away as the woman slowly turned her head, revealing a face Angela describes as simply wrong. Police found no trace of either figure at the scene, but told her she was far from the first person to report a woman in white on that same stretch of road, a local legend that has persisted for decades. Angela still cannot decide which possibility unsettles her more, that it was a ghost, or that someone was using the legend as bait.And Tessa from Los Angeles closes the episode with the story of Kabar, the beloved Doberman of silent film legend Rudolph Valentino. When Valentino died suddenly in 1926, Kabar reportedly began howling at the exact moment of his owner's death nearly three thousand miles away, later running off and returning with his paws worn down as if he had tried to walk cross-country to find him. At Kabar's grave in the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery, Tessa called his name as a dare. She felt a cold, wet sensation move across her hand exactly like a dog's nose and tongue, and when she looked down, her hand was visibly damp, on a dry, sunny day with no water anywhere nearby.Three real callers.

1. Tyler from Colorado --Tyler shares a deeply unsettling paranormal experience that began after his kayaking accident left him clinically dead for three minutes. Since being revived, he's been experiencing disturbing phenomena, but here's what makes this truly terrifying: other people are experiencing it too. His roommate heard Tyler's voice calling from an empty bedroom while Tyler sat right beside him. His girlfriend heard it coming from his car while he stood next to her. His own father heard it from the basement. Most chilling of all, Tyler himself has heard his own voice calling to him from empty rooms. He also sees patches of "glitching air" that look like TV static, and his friend Marissa witnessed one materialize at a coffee shop. 2. Emma -- The Life-Sized Clown That Wouldn't Stay Gone Emma recounts a childhood nightmare involving a life-sized knitted clown her cousins purchased from a thrift store. The clown would move on its own, appearing in different rooms despite being locked away. When they finally locked it in outdoor dog kennels, it was found inside the house the next morning, sitting on the couch. But the most terrifying moment came when Emma, her sister, and their cousins saw the clown running, like a human, through tall grass 50 meters away before vanishing completely. When they checked, it was no longer on their uncle's truck, where he'd placed it for disposal. The clown was never seen again, but the mystery remains: where did it go, and what caused it to move? 3. Carlos from San Antonio, Texas -- Danny Still Works the Night Shift Carlos shares his brief but terrifying experience working the night shift at a 24-hour diner off I-10. On his first day, his manager showed him a memorial shrine for Danny, a beloved cook who died of a heart attack in 2015, and casually warned him, "You'll see him sometimes. Just acknowledge him." Carlos thought it was a joke until his second week, when he encountered a figure in a cook's uniform blocking the walk-in freezer doorway at 3 AM. 4. Jenna from Boise, Idaho -- The Red Eyes Outside Her Third-Floor Window Jenna describes a two-month nightmare involving two red eyes that appear outside her third-floor apartment window every night around 11:30 PM. Despite being three stories up with no balcony, fire escape, or ledge, just a sheer drop to the parking lot, these glowing red eyes hover and stare through her window with malevolent intent. Her boyfriend witnessed them too, and shockingly, her neighbor on the second floor has been seeing the same red eyes outside her window for months. 5. Marcus from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- The Battlefield That Refuses to Be Photographed. Marcus, a professional photographer, recounts his eerie experience at Triangular Field near Devil's Den in Gettysburg. While attempting to photograph the Civil War battlefield at golden hour, all of his high-end camera equipment simultaneously stopped working: multiple cameras, backup batteries, and even his phone. The moment he stepped away from the field, everything powered back on perfectly. Later research revealed dozens of similar reports: cameras malfunction at Triangular Field, photos come out blank or washed out, and visitors feel watched by unseen presences. Marcus experienced an overwhelming sensation of being observed by many eyes from the rocks, trees, and the field itself. 6. Tony from North Dakota -- The Clown in the Ceiling Who Made Deals Tony shares a disturbing childhood memory of a clown doll that would speak to him every night from a hatch in his ceiling. The clown was friendly, listening to Tony vent about his day and having conversations—but with one terrifying rule: if Tony slept with his hands or feet outside the blanket, the clown would come down and take them. To this day, Tony cannot sleep with his limbs uncovered. This only happened in one specific house, ruling out hallucination. 

Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost Story In this chilling episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I'm sharing true paranormal stories from real phone calls, modern ghost stories about demon lambs, forest guardians, hurricane warnings, urban legends turned real, and unsolved disappearances. These are real ghost encounters told by the voices who lived them.🐑 John from Little Rock shares an uncanny childhood encounter with something he calls "demon lambs" on Spar Hill. At 11 years old, exploring a rural hill known for supernatural activity and will-o'-the-wisps, he lost track of time and found himself followed by lamb-like creatures with bright red eyes and snapping teeth. What started as one became three, closing in until he tumbled down the hillside to escape. This eerie story raises the question: what lurks in remote places where swamp gas and fireballs appear? A true ghost story about creatures that don't belong in our world.🔥 Jake, a fire lookout from Missoula, Montana, tells a haunting story from the Bitterroot National Forest. Working alone in an observation tower at 7,000 feet, he spotted a mysterious white light moving through the woods at 2 AM. Following it, he encountered a woman in a clearing surrounded by soft light, a ghost who led him deeper into the wilderness, fading as they walked until she brought him to a burned-out cabin where her family died in a 2008 wildfire. Her whispered "thank you" on the wind suggests she'd been waiting years for someone to remember them. This real paranormal story is a reminder that some spirits just need to be witnessed.🌊 Brenda from Charleston shares her encounter with the Grey Man of Pawleys Island before Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Standing on her deck as the hurricane approached, she saw a man in all grey walking the beach, the legendary Grey Man who had appeared before major hurricanes since 1822. The overwhelming sense of dread made her evacuate immediately. Hurricane Matthew destroyed her entire neighborhood, wiping her house off its foundation, but she and her neighbors survived because they heeded the Grey Man's warning. This supernatural story blurs the line between folklore and life-saving intervention.👤 Mark from Brooklyn tells the true crime story of Cropsey, Staten Island's boogeyman, who turned out to be real. The legend described an escaped mental patient with a hook hand living in tunnels under the abandoned Willowbrook State School. But when children actually started disappearing in the '70s and '80s, police arrested Andre Rand—a former Willowbrook janitor who was abducting children and living in the woods around the property. Mark and his friend encountered a man watching them from the trees weeks before Rand's arrest, and he still doesn't know if it was the real killer. This ghost story became a real paranormal nightmare when folklore and true crime merged into one terrifying reality.Each phone call in this paranormal podcast captures real ghost encounters, ghosts and hauntings, and true ghost stories that connect us through the unexplainable. Whether it's demonic creatures, protective spirits, legendary warnings, or unsolved disappearances, these real paranormal stories remind us that the line between folklore and reality is thinner than we think.Perfect for Halloween listening, spooky season, or anytime you want haunted stories and supernatural encounters told through authentic phone calls.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a glass that exploded with nobody near it, a deacon whose prayers had a disturbing track record, a hospice patient who found his way home right on time, a real Cold War legend that still haunts Eastern Europe, and a headless ghost who just wanted in on a card game.Christina from Phoenix, Arizona calls in again, this time about moving into her aunt's house, where she'd sensed something before she even signed on. A tall shadow figure slipped into the garage the first day she visited. After moving in, constant footsteps and distant voices filled the house whenever she was alone, and a warning feeling stopped her cold at the garage door one night, the kind of instinctive dread she describes like the moment right before a car accident. After her aunt moved out and the house sat mostly empty, a freshly washed glass exploded on the drying rack with nobody near it, followed days later by a glass candle holder that split perfectly in half on its own. Both her husband and her best friend insist the activity follows Christina specifically, stopping when she leaves and starting again the moment she returns, something she's lived with since childhood in the form of doorknobs that visibly shake as if something is trying to get in, something she refuses to open.Helen from Tupelo, Mississippi calls in with a story about her Uncle John, a respected deacon known for unusually powerful prayer. When his daughter fell in love with a man he disapproved of, he asked her to wait while he prayed on it, and within three days her fiancé died suddenly of spinal meningitis. It was only afterward, in conversation with her aunt, that Helen learned this wasn't the first time someone standing in her uncle's way had met a sudden end, and her aunt's only explanation was four words that still haunt her, "there have been others."Donnie from New Mexico, a hospice nurse, returns with a story about his friend Nikki, a resident with Down syndrome and part of Donnie's daily coffee routine. One morning Nikki arrived in tears, having spent the night hearing his mother calling him home for dinner and unable to remember the way. He seemed better after their usual visit. He died before lunch that same day.Dimitri, calling from Chicago but raised in Poland in the early 1980s, shares the Cold War legend of the Black Volga, a black car with white curtained windows said to snatch people off the street, never to be seen again. Some said it was the KGB. Others said organ thieves. Dimitri's grandmother was certain it was the devil himself, collecting souls. At nine years old, Dimitri and a friend watched one slow past them on the sidewalk, curtain shifting as if someone inside was looking out, before they ran the entire way home.And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana closes the episode with a story from her great-grandfather's card game the night before a funeral for a man decapitated in a farming accident, his head never recovered. Partway through the game, her great-grandmother looked up and asked who exactly had joined them, a headless figure sitting at the table, apparently there to play cards.Five real callers.

Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost StoryIn this chilling new episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I'm sharing true paranormal stories from a place that was deeply personal to me, apartment 3F in San Francisco's Mission District. These are real ghost encounters experienced by multiple people, including myself, all centered around the same supernatural presence. These are modern ghost stories about a home that meant everything to our friend group... and the spirit who lived there with us.🏠 Apartment 3F was our hub, the heart of our late twenties friend group, a home away from home. Anytime you needed a place to crash, there was always room at Sarah's place. But here's the thing: no one who lived there would confirm there was a ghost. Not until years later, when we all finally realized we'd been experiencing the same haunting and just never talked about it.👻 I'm sharing my own real-life ghost story, the night I came home from a comedy show at 2 or 3 in the morning and walked face-to-face into the gray woman in the kitchen. Frizzy hair, gray sweater, gray skirt, sensible shoes. We were eye level. I think I startled her as much as she startled me. And then, blip, she was gone. This paranormal encounter was what finally got us all talking.🛏️ My friend Sarah, who owned the apartment, reluctantly shares her true ghost stories she'd kept quiet for years. The woman who watched her sleep. The presence that crawled into bed with her. The things she still won't talk about because she doesn't want to give them attention. Her haunted story is told with real hesitation; you can hear how much she doesn't want to feed whatever was living there.💍 Alex, Sarah's roommate, tells her ghost story with a different energy — jewelry mysteriously falling to the floor, being watched in bed night after night, until she finally got so fed up she yelled at the spirit to GET OUT. And it actually worked. Sometimes you just have to claim your space back from the supernatural.📞 I've also included phone calls from six other people who experienced the same entity, fleeting glimpses in the kitchen, corner-of-the-eye sightings, the woman standing by the sink at 2 AM. Each caller adds another layer to this haunting, proving this wasn't just our imagination. This was real paranormal activity witnessed by people who'd never even met each other. This episode weaves together ghost encounters, eerie stories, and haunted house experiences into one cohesive supernatural story. It's about a place where spirits linger, where friends saw the same presence but were too afraid to talk about it until we'd all moved on and could finally share the truth.Whether you're a believer in ghosts and hauntings, a skeptic curious about real ghost stories, or just here for spooky storytelling during spooky season, this paranormal podcast episode captures that space between the living and the dead. It's perfect for Halloween listening or any time you want true paranormal stories told through intimate phone calls and personal confessions.If you love haunted stories, supernatural encounters, real-life ghost stories, or hearing from people who've lived through something unexplainable, this is your invitation to turn down the lights and listen. Because apartment 3F wasn't just haunted — it was home to all of us. And to her.📞 Have a real ghost story or spooky tale to share?Call 1 (701) 484-2666 or visit tellmeaghoststory.com to share your own ghostly experience.👻 Support the show with official merch at newmanmedia.shop🎥 Join us on YouTube @tellmeaghoststory📸 Follow us on Instagram @tellmeaghoststorypodcast Credits:🎵Theme Music: "Sexy Sax" by Cool Cascade.🚀Production: Newman Media

These are modern ghost stories, told by the voices who lived them.🌲 Stevie from California shares a haunting encounter deep in the woods near Yosemite — a night of howling wind, a barking dog, and mysterious handprints left on every window of her locked car. Was it a ghost, or something far more human lurking in the dark?🎸 Johnny from Kansas tells a supernatural story about channeling the spirit of the late guitarist Randy Rhoads — a spectral presence that seems to appear whenever his music is played.

Just breath, presence, and chilling tension in the dark.🚗 Jess from Oregon retells the Pacific Northwest’s most famous roadside legend — The Bandage Man of Cannon Beach. A ghostly figure wrapped in bloody bandages is said to appear on Highway 101, pounding on car windows before vanishing into the fog.💀 Cynthia from Indiana brings a story passed down through her family — The Elderly Lady and Her Bag of Bones.

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just here for the storytelling, this episode weaves together ghost encounters, haunted dreams, and true paranormal stories with the intimate tone Tell Me A Ghost Story is known for.If you love ghosts and hauntings, true ghost stories, real-life ghost stories, or paranormal podcasts filled with spooky storytelling and personal confessions, this episode is your invitation to turn down the lights, press play, and listen closely.

Our first caller, who wishes to remain anonymous, takes us to the Bush House Inn in Washington State. What started as a hiking getaway turned into something unforgettable when she dreamt her husband had died, only to later discover her vision matched the inn’s most famous ghost story. Was it just a coincidence, or a case of a *place-memory haunting*, where history bleeds into the dreams of its guests?From Chicago, Emily shares a haunting tale of being tapped awake at night, convinced it was her cat. But when she got up, the cat was nowhere near her… and the front door stood wide open. Who—or what—wanted her attention?Next, comedian calls in with memories of her childhood home in Michigan, where certain rooms always radiated a malevolent energy. Was it just bad feng shui, or something darker? Even her mother seemed to sense it, filling the house with sage-scented candles. Sabrina’s story reminds us how family homes can carry not only memories, but also energies that linger long after childhood ends.Then Pastor Elijah from Tennessee takes us inside what the locals call the *cursed house* by the railroad tracks. Asked to pray over the home, he encountered something that wasn’t the Lord standing with him. A shadow man on the wall, heavy footsteps in the hall, it was enough to drive one of his church couples out for good.And finally, Cindy Ketron is back and shares the chilling story of a girl named "Sarah Miller", her childhood friend who loved the color red. Sarah would walk her home from school… until one day, she disappeared mid-step. Cindy later learned Sarah had died in a car accident. To this day, she says, Sarah’s ghost still appears in Speedway, Indiana, always dressed in red.These are more than just ghost stories. They’re true calls from real people, threaded with folklore, mystery, and history. Whether it’s dreams that echo tragedy, shadow figures that watch us in silence, or childhood friends who never really leave, these haunting tales remind us that the past is never as far away as we think.So, gather close.

This week on *Tell Me A Ghost Story*, I’m bringing you some of the eeriest, most unforgettable true ghost stories I’ve heard yet—straight from real phone calls with our listeners.Comedian Sabrina Wu calls in from New York with a haunting tale about footsteps on the ceiling, phantom babies crying, and a flickering light that seemed to mock their fear.Brett shares the unsettling sound of children laughing and playing on an empty playground at midnight, a ghost story that made me shiver.I also heard from a medical courier who saw a blinding white light rush past the doors of a nursing home, a place already steeped in haunted history.And Linda, a 73-year-old restaurant worker, took me back to her bartending days in the 1970s and 80s, where she saw spirits in mirrors, chairs flying across the floor, and a woman in red who vanished before her eyes.But perhaps the most astonishing call came from Khyelle in Los Angeles, who described not just sleep paralysis but nightly astral travel, her spirit leaving her body, soaring through the stars, and even stepping onto the dark side of the moon.Every story in this episode reminds us that hauntings don’t just happen in old houses—they happen in apartments, schools, restaurants, and sometimes even within our own sleeping bodies.These real ghost stories weave together with folklore, history, and myth to remind us why we keep asking the question: Are ghosts real?📞 Have a real ghost story or spooky tale to share?Call 1 (701) 484-2666 or visit tellmeaghoststory.com to share your own ghostly experience.👻 Support the show with official merch at newmanmedia.shop🎥 Join us on YouTube @tellmeaghoststory📸 Follow us on Instagram @tellmeaghoststorypodcast Credits:🎵Theme Music: "Sexy Sax" by Cool Cascade.🚀Production: Newman Media

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week is a special one. I'm handing the mic over to Lisa from Proppa Scary Podcast, who traveled all the way from Australia to host an episode built entirely around First Nations ghost stories, with five callers sharing yarns passed down through their families and communities.Shay from Western Australia calls in with a story about a spirit said to follow the men in his family, generation after generation, from boyhood until it decides they've become men. Taps on windows, voices claiming the room, and a moment where his little brother swore he saw someone standing in a doorway that Shay insists was empty the whole time built toward one terrifying night, his younger brother waking unable to breathe, a spider-like hand covering his face. Their father brought in an elder to smoke the house and ask whatever it was to leave. It worked. (Follow him on IG @cee.dub23 for more creative and funny content.)Cass from Northwestern New South Wales calls in about the Min Min lights, a phenomenon he'd been warned about his whole life without fully believing it. Driving through the mountains at night, his mother suddenly demanded they pull over, moments before a bright red light appeared floating beneath the rearview mirror and his brother's car door fell open mid-drive. Researcher Dr. Curtis Roman, a Larrakia man from Darwin, has documented that Indigenous people from the bush are rarely frightened by these lights, unlike those from urban areas, and many sightings are reported near water, moving with a serpentine motion some connect to the Rainbow Serpent.Lisa herself shares several stories from a period living in a remote rainforest community, including encounters with a spirit woman believed to have been murdered during the Australian gold rush, said to scream in men's ears and push them from a nearby waterfall in an act of ongoing revenge. She describes seeing a woman with long blonde hair riding in a friend's truck, only for the friend to later insist he'd been driving alone the entire time, along with nights spent listening to what sounded like a corroboree carrying through the bush, and a car that stalled mid-crossing in a rising river before starting again at the exact moment it mattered most.Paul from the Maningrida region calls in about a night his family saw figures standing on the back of his truck that he insists were never there, followed by a car that turned itself on and began honking with no one inside, and a presence he believes followed him all the way to Darwin.And Tim, whose mob comes from the Armidale and Kempsey area, closes the episode with two stories, a night at Merrick Dam when he heard massive bipedal footsteps moving through the grass toward him in the dark, and a broad daylight encounter years later with what he believes was a yowie, a seven to eight foot tall, broad-shouldered, gray-haired creature that mimicked his and his son's footsteps before stepping behind a tree and vanishing without a trace. → Check out We’re Haunted Investigations TikTok: @were_haunted | YouTube: @werehaunted8791Five real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls take us into a soon-to-close haunted pub in Seattle, a father who visited two houses on the same night, a dead friend who wanted one more game of hide and seek, the most notorious stateroom aboard the Queen Mary, and a ghost who's never once missed a birthday party.Sonja calls in about a night at the College Inn Pub in Seattle's University District, where she watched a figure sitting in a dark, closed-off seating area vanish the moment she looked twice. The bartender confirmed it immediately: the ghost of Howard Bach, a fisherman said to have been murdered there long ago, who still lingers after closing time and, according to legend, once played a piano that's since been destroyed. The College Inn Pub, built in 1909, closed its doors for good on June 15th, 2025, making this one of the last true ghost stories anyone will collect from that building.Khyelle from Los Angeles calls in with a story from the night his father died. Sleeping in his mother's living room while the family grieved, he saw a tall figure in a white T-shirt move past, then moments later what appeared to be his father's silhouette, unmistakable because of his long dreadlocks. He screamed loud enough to bring his mother running, and the two searched the house together, finding no one. That same night, at a different house entirely, his father's stepchildren felt someone squeeze their foot at the end of the bed, exactly the gesture his father used to do to anyone whose foot hung off the couch.Evelyn from Fremont, Michigan calls in about playing ghost in the graveyard as an eight-year-old, a game her friend had loved more than anyone, until that friend passed away. Two years later, playing the same game in the same spot, Evelyn heard a familiar voice by the slide and turned to see her deceased friend's face, smiling, pulling handfuls of hair from her own scalp. Evelyn ran, and none of the other kids believed a word of it.Christy from Los Angeles, who lives with lifelong hypnagogic hallucinations and has learned to tell the difference between those and something else entirely, calls in about a birthday stay aboard the Queen Mary. In the middle of the night, a beam of light shot down above her bed, bounced off the wall, and slid completely underneath it, unlike anything her usual hallucinations have ever done. The next morning she learned their room sat two doors from Stateroom B340, the ship's most infamous cabin, closed to guests entirely due to activity so severe people demanded refunds, and reportedly home to a spirit named Jackie known for playing hide and seek.And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana closes the episode with an update on Little Rachel, the ghost of a young girl who died in a fire and has followed Cindy home for four years now. Rachel came along for Cindy's birthday shopping trip this week, picked out two new dolls, and, as always, refused to let her picture be taken by a single camera any paranormal investigator has ever brought around. She hasn't missed a birthday party yet.Five real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this classic episode has five calls that take us to one of the most famously haunted hotels in America, a Ouija board that darkened with every question, a whisper that knew exactly when to speak, and a spider with a human face. This episode is now available as a video on Spotify and YouTube.Christy from Los Angeles calls in with a true ghost story from her second trip to the Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. During a live talk from paranormal psychic Chip Coffey, a strange smear, like someone had rubbed the atmosphere itself with a finger, moved across the curtain directly behind him. Two witnesses saw it, and Chip himself paused mid-sentence to say he hadn't seen her there. The Mount Washington Hotel has one of the most storied hauntings in the country, tied to Princess Caroline, the widow of the hotel's original owner, who kept returning summer after summer and whose original suite, room 314, remains the heart of the hotel's reported activity to this day, complete with flickering lights, floral perfume in the night, and a woman seen sitting on her original century-old bed.Jess from San Antonio, Texas calls in with a haunting that began after moving in with her grandparents. Breathing and moaning came from behind a side door in her childhood bedroom. Years later, her grandmother described two men in old-fashioned clothing watching her sleep, then woke up screaming that a woman was choking her. When a hairstylist client turned out to be a psychic, she independently described the exact same two men, protectors against an evil presence in the home, and performed a salt cleansing that ended the activity for good. Jess has since tried sleeping in that room twice as an adult, both times waking in sleep paralysis with a black mass suffocating her.Reid from Colorado Springs calls in with a Ouija board session that turned dark fast, the spirit's answers growing more ominous with every question until he ended the session. Afterward, the board's pieces had rearranged themselves on their own, a closed door was found open, and a shadow figure in formal clothing appeared and vanished as he left the room.Nicole from Phoenix calls in with a whisper she heard as a child pretending to be asleep, "Hey, I see you," in a voice she mistook for her prankster father, who was found asleep in another room seconds later, nowhere near fast enough to have said it. Her mother and aunts later confirmed the house had a long history of activity, including visions of children standing outside holding hands.And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana closes the episode with a story about her father's first rental house in Indianapolis, cheap because the previous owner had allegedly murdered his wife there. Within a week of moving in, an apricot-sized black spider with a human face began crawling across his bed nightly, vanishing each time, until he finally confronted the landlord, who offered no explanation. The house has since been torn down.Five real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a story confirmed by a childhood friend decades later, a nun no one else could see, a coffee pot that shook on its own in front of a room full of witnesses, and a monster named Herbert who still shows up at a retirement home.Noah Daniels, host of Real Hauntings Real Ghost Stories from Atlanta, Georgia calls in with two ghost stories thirty years apart. The first happened during a game of hide and seek at age eleven, when he tried to tag a "cheating" playmate darting across a dark room, and his hand went straight through it, a small figure with red reflective eyes that turned to look at him before everyone screamed and ran. Decades later, he mentioned the memory to that same friend, who finished the sentence for him before he could. The second happened thirty years later in a Las Vegas hotel room on Halloween night, when Noah woke at 3 AM to find a grayscale little boy in early 1900s dress staring at him, then a second look revealed the boy's father beside him, hand on his son's shoulder, both watching in complete silence. Noah now hosts his own show, Real Hauntings Real Ghost Stories (check out his episode “Ghost in My Bed” featuring Michelle).Michael from Watertown, Massachusetts calls in about seeing a woman in a full blue nun's habit at his mechanic shop, confirmed by nobody else in the building despite there being no way she could have passed unseen. Months later, home and jobless, he experienced flickering lights and waking messages that escalated into what he describes as a genuine spiritual confrontation, one he says ended only after he prayed and experienced a vision of Jesus Christ that expelled the darkness entirely.Christina from Phoenix, Arizona calls in with a series of encounters from an apartment beside a cemetery, starting with a solid, fully visible eight-year-old girl in gray clothing standing in her dining room in the middle of the night, one she made direct eye contact with before the girl turned and vanished through a solid wall. What followed included children's laughter heard by both her and her husband simultaneously, a child seen running down the hallway, nightly footsteps on a roof with no access above their top-floor unit, confirmed by a guest who asked why someone was up there, and a coffee pot that began shaking violently on the counter in front of a room full of friends, untouched.Reid from Colorado Springs calls in about a childhood shadow figure so large its head brushed the ceiling, one that appeared repeatedly in his childhood bathroom doorway before eventually following him to a new home entirely, where it peeked around a corner, entered his room, and dissolved like fog.And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana closes the episode with a story about her brother Brian's childhood closet monster, an invisible presence named Herbert who has followed him for decades and, according to Cindy, is now known to the nursing staff at his retirement home for occasionally tearing up the room at night.Five real callers.

Hey it's Michelle, and this week's six calls include a great-grandmother's dream warning, a crab-shaped ghost with piercing blue eyes, TV-static figures caught mid-attack, a lady who left her closet every single night for one specific purpose, and a memory so vivid it still can't be explained away decades later.Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana returns with an update on her paranormal household. After visiting the Whispers Estate in Mitchell, Indiana, she came home with company, a second entity in addition to Little Rachel, this one a crab-shaped ghost with piercing blue eyes who favors hiding under the bed.David from Kansas City calls in about his first apartment, where lifelong sleep paralysis episodes escalated into something he still can't fully explain. One morning, total blackness filled his bathroom and closet doorways despite daylight outside, a whisper called his name as if approaching him, and three loud bangs hit his door before two human-shaped figures made of what looked like TV static physically attacked him. He chanted for help until it stopped. The next morning, his front door was unlocked and four police vehicles surrounded the building, a neighbor at an adjacent complex had murdered his girlfriend that same night.Brittany from Riverton, Utah calls in about clearing out her late great-uncle's home, where a couple hired to help ended up taking home several belongings with the family's blessing. Days later, one of them called in a panic asking to return everything, a woman named Ruth had come to him in a dream demanding her things back. Ruth was Brittany's fiercely protective great-grandmother, and the items Brittany's family still keeps have never prompted a second visit.Sydney from Nebraska calls in about a California rental her family moved into despite her immediately sensing something wrong. Alone unpacking her room, she watched a large figure move past her door, called out for a brother who wasn't home, and searched an empty house. Years later, her parents finally admitted what they'd hidden the entire time they lived there, a woman who emerged from the closet every single night to place her hands on Sydney's father's feet and wake him.Yamari from Pennsylvania calls in about waking in what she assumed was sleep paralysis, three black figures surrounding her bed with her boyfriend right beside her, unreachable no matter how hard she tried to move or scream. The dream logic falls apart on one detail, the bedroom door, closed before they went to sleep, was standing open when she finally woke.An anonymous caller shares a childhood dream of an angel telling them "it's okay" during what felt, at five or six, like the happiest point of their life, a comfort that only made sense years later, standing in a Catholic church, remembering it in the middle of their hardest stretch of middle school.And Erica from San Diego returns with an early childhood memory that has never once changed in the retelling, waking in her parents' bed to find the mattress replaced entirely by an endless, fire-filled trench beneath them, her parents sound asleep and completely unfazed while she floated terrified above the flames.Six real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's three calls include a piece of jewelry that vanished for over a decade and reappeared through a dream, a faceless figure at the Hollywood sign with a documented history stretching back nearly a century, and a live on-camera possession followed by a phone call that still can't be explained.Kelly from Australia calls in with a story about her grandad, who passed away 13 years ago. For years she'd asked family members about his silver St. Christopher necklace, one she used to play with sitting on his knee as a child, and nobody could account for where it had gone. After a recent visit home spent asking again, and after spotting the necklace clearly in an old photograph of her grandad, Kelly's grandmother handed her a wrapped gift on Christmas morning containing the exact necklace and a note saying her grandad would be proud to see her wearing it. Her grandmother had no idea Kelly had ever wanted it, she'd simply had a dream telling her to give it to her.Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana calls in with a story from a 1976 family trip to California, the same trip that brought her family face to face with the ghost of Marilyn Monroe walking the beach. Near the Hollywood sign at dusk, her family watched a shrouded figure in period clothing approach them, and where her face should have been, there was nothing at all. What they encountered matches the well-documented sightings of Peg Entwistle, an actress who died by suicide by jumping from the Hollywood sign's letter H in the 1930s, unaware a movie role was waiting for her the very next day. Witnesses have reported her presence to joggers, hikers, and park rangers ever since, often accompanied by the scent of gardenia perfume, her signature fragrance in life.Lane Pavogey, a YouTube filmmaker, calls in with a story from filming California on Ghosts, a project he made with fellow creator Kassem G. While ghost hunting at a haunted hotel in Volcano, California with psychic medium Maria Laguna Salas, Lane and his crew captured what appears to be a live possession on camera, Maria going silent, shaking, and transforming for a stretch of roughly 45 minutes before purging afterward. Hours later, driving home, Lane received a call from Robert, a former roommate and father figure he hadn't spoken to in fifteen years, who explained he'd had an urgent, vivid dream the night before of a dark-haired woman trying to grab hold of Lane, one he felt compelled to protect him from. The description matched Maria almost exactly.Three real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a recurring visitor only dying patients could see, glasses moving in an empty kitchen at 1 am, a friend's goodbye delivered through a dream before anyone knew she was gone, a doppelganger encounter one caller still calls a possible glitch in the matrix, and a haunted mansion with a buried, disturbing history.Tyler from Ohio, a former ICU night-shift nurse, calls in about a patient who calmly described a tall man in a black suit sitting in the corner of her room, someone she said had been with her all day, unrelated to her, silent the entire time. She passed away roughly a day later. Tyler says this pattern repeated throughout his career, dying patients describing visits from family members he'd later learn had already passed.Nellie from Clinton, Illinois returns with a second story from the same house, waking at 1 am to find the kitchen light on and the sound of glasses moving, despite both her parents' and brother's doors being closed and no one else awake in the house.Maggie calls in about a vivid dream from over fifteen years ago, one where her friend Liz appeared radiant and at peace in a coffee shop, wearing a black coat covered in red roses, hugging her tightly before vanishing when Maggie turned away for a moment. Days later, Maggie learned Liz had died in a car accident in Panama the same night as the dream, and later discovered Liz's previously unknown middle name was Rose.Yvonne from the Philippines returns with an early childhood memory from around 2002, watching her mother's exact double, same clothes, same voice, same conversation with her father, walk from the parents' room toward hers and then vanish entirely the moment the lights came on. Minutes later, her real mother called to say she and Yvonne's father were still out running errands and had been the whole time.And Liz from Brooklyn closes the episode with a story from a photography assignment at a historic hotel with a disturbing past involving adopted children. She and her friend both felt an immediate, oppressive presence in one particular room, later confirmed independently by a medium on speakerphone who described a dark male spirit in that exact corner, along with two protective female spirits and several buried children on the property. The pair located an unexpected grove of lilies the next day, laid flowers, and spoke words for the dead, all while narrating a full skincare routine out loud to keep themselves calm.Five real callers.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a ghost who literally swept a guest off his feet in a London hotel, two coffins from a funeral home that ended up haunting a Halloween attraction, a decades-old attachment that still whispers in the dark, a cursed property with a body count, and a kitchen that wouldn't stay closed after a stranger's belongings came home (Episode FKA "Real Ghost Stories For Falling Asleep - Mixtape Vol. 10").Greg from Los Angeles calls in about a trip to Soho House Dean Street in London, where an off feeling all night built toward the moment he and his husband explored an eerily empty floor. Descending the stairs afterward, Greg caught sight of shoes just out of view, turned around, and had his feet yanked completely out from under him, going fully horizontal before dropping. A bruise on his backside lasted the entire trip and vanished the moment his flight landed back in California.Phil from Chattanooga calls in with two separate stories. The first involves a former funeral home in Rome, Georgia, where he found two decades-old embalming coffins in the basement, still used repeatedly for cremation services years earlier. Passed along to a Halloween spook house, the coffins caused actors to refuse to enter them, citing doors slamming and objects moving whenever they were near.Rachel from Myrtle Beach calls in about paranormal activity that's followed her since age four, starting with her late great-grandmother appearing at her brother's window. Decades later, her first sleep paralysis episode left three unexplained scratches on her makeup vanity, and describing the experience to her mother caused the wall behind her to visibly darken, as if something were opening. Her most recent episode, just three weeks before this call, involved something demonic whispering in her ear, words she refuses to repeat.Cindy from Avon, Indiana returns with an update on Little Rachel, the child spirit who followed her home from the Whispers Estate after Cindy left gifts at Christmas. Cindy, a retired Indiana State Police employee, says an EVP investigation on her birthday helped confirm Rachel's presence, and that Rachel now possesses one of her dolls.Phil returns with a second, far darker story about a property he purchased in Georgia containing three identical houses. Within a year, one tenant was beaten to death with a hammer, another died of a fentanyl overdose, a third suffered a disabling stroke, and the leaseholder died just three weeks after being given six weeks to live. A neighbor eventually warned Phil that no one nearby would set foot on the property. Phil sold it, disclosed everything, and the new owner suffered a permanent medical emergency two months after closing.And Lauren closes the episode with a story from a Round Rock, Texas apartment, where a roommate brought home sentimental belongings after his brother's sudden drowning death. That same night, Lauren's younger sister fled the apartment in the early morning hours, terrified by sounds coming from an empty kitchen. In the following weeks, every cabinet in that kitchen, including ones too high to reach, would be found open with no one home and every door locked.Five real callers.

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 that each involve a moment of waking up to something that should not be there. A door that was closed when you fell asleep standing open. An angel who told a five-year-old it was okay before she understood what it meant. And a mattress replaced by an endless pit of fire, with everyone sleeping above it completely unaware.Yamari from Pennsylvania calls in with a true ghost story that has a witness. She and her boyfriend went to bed normally with the bedroom door closed as always. In the night, she experienced what felt like waking but could not move, could not scream, and could not get her boyfriend's attention. The door opened, and three black figures entered the room, moving around both of them with their focus on her. She closed her eyes and woke fully in a panic attack. The door was open. Her daughters were asleep in their rooms. There are no animals in the house. The door had been closed when she fell asleep. It has never happened again, but she still gets chills when she is alone in that room.An anonymous listener calls in with a true spiritual encounter that did not reveal its meaning until years after it happened. When they were five or six, they had a dream in which they were in distress and an angel appeared, a glowing figure with wings that reminded them of the Statue of Liberty, who said it's okay. Life was good at the time, and the dream made no immediate sense. Years later, in middle school, a period of severe anxiety and genuine suffering, they were standing inside a Catholic church when it suddenly made complete sense. The angel had not been speaking about that moment as a five-year-old. It had been speaking about middle school. The message arrived a decade early and waited.Erica from San Diego returns with her third call to Tell Me A Ghost Story, and this one goes back to the very beginning of her life. She was five or six years old and growing up in a home defined by physical abuse and toxic relationships between her parents. She had always felt and seen paranormal activity in the duplex her family lived in, faces and creatures emerging from the stucco walls of her bedroom at night. But the experience she called in about is the one she has never been able to explain or rationalize in the decades since. She woke up in her parents' bed, where they had let her sleep between them. When she opened her eyes, the mattress was gone. Beneath her father, herself, and her mother was an endless dark trench of fire, flames rising upward toward them as they floated above it, still sleeping. She looked left. She looked right. Her parents were completely undisturbed. She was five years old, floating above a pit of fire, and she was the only one who could see it. She remembers what her parents were wearing that night. The memory has never changed. She does not think she imagined it.Three real callers. Three true ghost stories about waking up to something that had no right to be there.

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 four of these calls were later incorporated into longer compilation episodes with full host commentary if you want the complete experience. And yes, the show was on a billboard in Times Square around this time. If you have not called in yet, consider this your sign. Literally.Hey, it's Michelle, and I'm back from a week off with four true ghost stories that cover more paranormal ground than almost any other episode in the early archive. Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana, returns with a new addition to her paranormal household. Regular listeners already know about Little Rachel, the ghost of a girl who burned to death in a Christmas fire and followed Cindy home after she donated toys to her memorial. This time, Cindy introduces us to a second entity that also followed her home from a visit to Mitchell, Indiana. This one has taken the shape of a crab. It has piercing blue eyes. It hides under the bed and glares at her. Cindy's home is becoming quite the gathering.Dave from Kansas City calls in with a sleep paralysis experience in his first apartment that crossed the line from dream state into something he still cannot fully explain. He was pulled into a paralysis episode where the bathroom and closet doorways were filled with solid black, and a whispered voice called his name as if moving toward him. Three loud bangs on his door woke him into a half state where he got up and found two figures in his living room, shaped like humans but made entirely of TV static. They attacked him. He chanted "Jesus help me" until they stopped, and he woke fully in his bedroom. He got up, found his front door had been unlocked all night, walked outside, and discovered four police vehicles surrounding the adjacent complex where a man had murdered his girlfriend in the night and had been running through the streets.Brittany from Riverton, Utah, calls in with a haunting connected to her great-grandmother Ruth, a feisty and fiercely protective woman who collected things her whole life and was buried with some of her most beloved possessions. When the family cleared out her great uncle's house after his death, a couple hired to help took several items home with them. Two nights later, the husband called Brittany's husband and said he needed to give the items back. A woman named Ruth had appeared in his dream and told him she did not want him to have her things. He had never met Ruth. He did not feel good about keeping them. He gave them back. Brittany now keeps several of Ruth's items in her cabin. Ruth has not come to ask for those ones back.Sidney from Nebraska calls in with a haunting from her teenage years in California, where her family rented a house she felt was wrong from the first moment she stepped inside. A large figure walked past her bedroom door while she was home alone unpacking. A woman in a dress appeared in the mirror that faced the closet in her parents' room. Sidney told her parents. They dismissed her. Years later, after they moved out, her parents finally told her what they had never mentioned while they lived there. Every single night that woman came out of the closet, walked to her father's side of the bed, and put her hands on his feet to wake him. Every night. For the entire time they lived in that house.Four real callers. Four true ghost stories.

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 Halloween episode has three true ghost stories that each land in a completely different register. One is frightening and unexplained. One is terrifying and possibly deserved. And one will break your heart. All three are real.James from Greeley, Colorado, calls in with a true ghost story from when he was six years old, living in a foster home in Loveland. While parents watched a swim meet at Thompson Valley High School, a group of ten kids snuck into the empty dark gym. They started running around. Then every folded chair in the room flew into each other and crashed at once with nobody near them. Every child bolted for the same door simultaneously. James and his brother were last out. They turned and looked through the small window in the gym door and saw a bloody handprint smeared down the glass. When they told the parents, the adults assumed the children had knocked over the chairs themselves. James was six. He knows what he saw.Erica from San Diego calls in with a story about what happens when you invoke something you were raised never to name. Her grandparents had Native American roots, and Erica grew up with the specific cultural warning that speaking of flesh pedestrians and shapeshifters draws their attention. On a camping trip to Palomar Mountain, her father started joking about shapeshifters near the observatory at the top of the mountain. A friend threw a rock at a deer. They laughed and got back in the minivan to drive down. Halfway down, the brakes failed completely. The minivan hit sixty miles an hour with nothing to stop it. Her father tried a dirt bank on the side of the mountain. It almost flipped them and did not slow them down. It felt like more than gravity was pulling them. With fifteen yards of guardrail left before a sheer drop, he pushed the passenger side into the rail and ground them to a stop ten feet from the end. Erica does not think it was a coincidence. Her father was the one talking. The passenger side was the side that hit the rail.Vicki from Hammond, Indiana, calls in with the kind of true ghost story that does not frighten you so much as it stays with you. Her older brother drowned in Lake Michigan when Vicki was nine. He had been living in the basement of their family home. Months after the funeral Vicki came home from school alone and heard the kitchen wall phone ring. The cordless phone in her hand did not ring. Only the kitchen phone. She ran to answer it. Nobody was there. She hung up and walked back toward the bathroom. In the hallway, she heard her brother say her name as clearly as if he was standing right behind her. She knew it was him. She did not turn around. She ran into the bathroom and sat with her back against the door until her mother came home. The kitchen phone was near the back door that led down to the basement, where her brother used to live. She believes he was trying to draw her to him to say goodbye. The portable phone in her hand never rang. Only the one by the door to his room.Three real callers.

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.Hey, it's Michelle, and this early episode has three true ghost stories that cover three completely different kinds of contact between the living and the dead. Christina is the host of Espooky Tales on the Scary FM Network, and she calls in with a true ghost story from her childhood in Oakland, California, that began as mockery and ended with a bruised tailbone and a lesson she has not forgotten. She was eleven years old. Her nine-year-old brother had always insisted he could see shadow people, and Christina and her twin were not taking him seriously. They were sitting in their father's trailer behind his car shop when her brother pointed out shadow people standing next to Christina, and she started fake punching the air where he was pointing. Her brother said they don't like it when you do that. The chair was pulled out from under her. All four legs had been solidly on the floor. She had not been leaning back. Something pulled it while she was sitting on it, and she fell hard. Her brother looked over and said see I told you. Their father's response when they ran to his office was that they should be more scared of the living than the dead. Christina was more concerned about her injured tailbone. Go check out Espooky Tales on the Scary FM Network.Carla calls in with the shortest and most quietly devastating call in the early archive. She is living with the love of her life, who passed away in 2020. The love did not end. The presence did not leave. She has everything on film. She describes it as a gift that keeps on giving, and she means that without any irony. There is nothing more to say about Carla's story because Carla said everything that needed to be said in the time she took to say it. Some love stories do not end.Nellie from Clinton, Illinois, returns with a true ghost story rooted in her Mexican grandmother's warnings about what happens when you sleep in the wrong position. Her grandmother called it el muerto, the dead getting on top of you. Nellie was eighteen years old, sleeping on her stomach on an ordinary weekday morning, when she felt something heavy climb onto her back. She opened her eyes and tried to look behind her. A dark shadow was there. It put its mouth near her ear and growled, a low sound that was half laugh and half something she cannot describe even now. She could not move. It lasted a few seconds, and then it was gone. Nellie grew up hearing her grandmother's warning and wondering if it was true. At eighteen, she found out. The experience of el muerto, a heavy presence pinning a sleeping person while a dark figure looms and growls, connects to sleep paralysis accounts documented across Latin American cultures for generations and shares remarkable similarities with the Old Hag phenomenon in European tradition, the Kanashibari in Japanese culture, and the shadow figure encounters reported across nearly every culture that has ever tried to explain what sits on people in the dark while they sleep.Three real callers. Three true ghost stories about what happens when the dead make physical contact. If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a doppelganger with a scorched face that vanished mid-laugh, a HomeGoods mansion with its own resident ghost, a weeping shadow no one could identify, a brother who wasn't home appearing at the foot of a bed, and a red balloon that burned to reveal an unexplainable coin. The episode was formally known as "Real Ghost Stories For Cleaning the House- Mix Tape 3"Roc from Orange County calls in with a years-long haunting at his parents' house in Fontana, starting with roof noises everyone dismissed and escalating into a string of family losses and a series of pets that never survived long. The centerpiece of his story is an entity that appeared as his mother, sitting on the bed crying before its face was revealed scorched and its eyes turned white, cackling before vanishing entirely, while his actual mother was confirmed by phone to be at Costco the entire time. What followed was months of activity centered on his little sister, a Victorian-dressed child spirit named Sophia the family eventually traced to a local legend, handprints and footprints appearing on wet cement and windows, and a night the family found her hiding under the bed beside a dark figure. Multiple religious cleansings failed before sage finally worked.I (your host, Michelle) also share a shorter story from a photography job at a boss's HomeGoods-decorated mansion, where he felt someone sprint up directly behind him on a staircase with no one there, followed by a driveway alarm going off repeatedly with no one arriving, which his boss brushed off as simply their house ghost, Lola.Nelly from Clinton, Illinois calls in about a childhood house where a realtor had disclosed an elderly woman's death years before. Sleeping with her head covered as a habit, twelve-year-old Nelly heard a woman weeping directly beside her bed, distinct from her mother's voice, visible only as a dark shadow standing over her.Yvonne from the Philippines returns with a story from her late teens, watching what appeared to be her brother slip into her room and duck at the foot of her bed in a familiar prank routine, only to vanish completely when she checked, with no possible hiding place beneath the bed. Her mother confirmed her brother had been out of the house since that afternoon.And Edwin Covarrubias, host of True Scary Story and founder of ⁠Scary.fm⁠, closes the episode with childhood memories from his family's first house, starting with a dark blue, jacket-like shape floating in a bathroom corner, followed by a mysterious red balloon his father found and burned, revealing a rice-like texture and an unidentifiable old coin at its center. The years that followed brought dead birds appearing around the property and unexplained nighttime noises, culminating in a blinding, wind-filled light that burst from his closet one night and never returned after that.Five real callers.

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 that are each stranger than the last. Phil from Chattanooga, Tennessee, calls in with his fourth story for the show, and this one is rooted in one of the most disturbing real-life scandals in Georgia history. Phil picked up a young man home from the Marine Corps who told him what had happened the day before when he tried to take a shortcut through the woods behind his house to his grandmother's. He got deep into the trees and stopped. Something felt wrong. Shadow figures appeared behind him. Then in front of him. Then, when he turned a full circle, they were all the way around him. The woods in question were the grounds of the Tri-State Crematorium in Noble, Georgia, where owner Brent Marsh was discovered to have stored over three hundred bodies in a barn rather than cremating them. A neighbor's dog dug up a skull. The FBI, the TBI, and state and local law enforcement descended on the town. The pond was drained. The property was demolished. Nothing can be built there. The bodies that could be identified were taken to Atlanta. The ones that could not were not. Phil says you can fact-check it. He is right.Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana, calls in with a true creature encounter from the 1980s that her family has never forgotten. One evening, the power went out across the house. The dogs ran from the room in fear. Her mother opened the living room drapes and found a six-foot creature covered in black hair standing at the sliding glass door, growling, snarling, and slapping the glass as if trying to break through. Her father identified it as a Dogman and ran to his bedroom for his silver coin chest. He presented it to the creature through the glass. It howled and ran into the darkness. Michelle's research confirmed that the Michigan Dogman has been reported by over a hundred witnesses since disc jockey Steve Cook recorded a song about the legend in 1987 as an April Fool's joke and began receiving calls from listeners who said they had seen exactly what he described.Hendel from Long Island, New York, calls in with three nights at a hostel in Los Angeles that built from unsettling to impossible. On the second night, a girl in the bunk room laughed loudly for fifteen minutes, and when Hendel turned on her phone light discovered the girl's head was now at the opposite end of the bed from where the laughter had come, her body completely switched with no way to have done it silently. On the third night, Hendel woke at 1 AM to the entire room shaking violently for twenty seconds. Every bed. Every object in the room. The next morning, the hostel reception had no idea what she was talking about. There was no earthquake recorded in Los Angeles that night. No geological sensor registered anything. Hendel is willing to dismiss one incident. Two incidents on consecutive nights with no explanation is something else.Three real callers. Three true ghost stories from a crematorium in Georgia, a living room in Indiana, and a hostel in Los Angeles. If you have a real ghost story of your own, a haunting experience, something you heard, something you cannot explain, I want to hear it.
