    True Ghost Stories: A Ghost Named Frank in a Morgue, a House That Said Thank You, and a Dance Hall That Played Music for No One

    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.

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.

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.

Eerie sounds. Unexpected responses.

    True Ghost Stories: A Boy in Blue Pajamas Floating Above a Cemetery, a Ghost Cat, Footsteps with Nobody Attached, and the Green River

    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.

    Bloody Mary, Ghosts of Cambodia, and the Pool Boy: True Ghost Stories from Real Callers

    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.

    True Ghost Stories: A Motel Watcher, a Voice in the Basement, and a Hand from a Spanish Flu Grave

    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.

    Accidental Exorcism: True Ghost Stories from Victoria BC with Brennan Storr

    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.

    April Ghouls: True Ghost Stories from Nova Scotia, San Francisco, and Ecuador

    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.

    Breathing Outside the Tent: A Backcountry Nightmare

    Welcome back to another spine-tingling episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story! This week, we have four incredible stories that will make you question what lurks in the shadows and what comforts us when we need it most.Our first caller, Erica from San Diego (now in Eastern North Carolina), shares a haunting memory from her traumatic childhood. During her parents' violent fights, a mysterious friend named Sally would appear to comfort her. With elongated features, hollow dark eyes, and a perpetual frown, Sally was unsettling to look at, yet she offered the kindness young Erica desperately needed. The twist? None of Erica's childhood friends remembers Sally ever existing. Was she an imaginary friend, a guardian spirit, or something else entirely? Sometimes the help we need comes from the most unexpected places.Next, Bobby from Little Rock, Arkansas, takes us back to 1946 Texarkana, where his grandmother lived through real terror. He reveals the true origins of the Hook Man urban legend, which stems from the unsolved Phantom Killer case that claimed five lives. Bobby's grandmother witnessed a town paralyzed by fear as a masked killer targeted couples on Lover's Lanes. The murders stopped as suddenly as they began, and the killer was never caught. What we turned into a cautionary tale for teenagers was actually a real monster who got away with murder.Rob from Eugene, Oregon, shares a terrifying camping experience that's kept him up at night. Deep in the Cascades backcountry, he and his friend Chris were circled for two hours by something walking on two legs, something that stayed just outside their firelight. At 3 AM, they heard slow, deliberate breathing right outside their tent. Whatever it was knew they were there and seemed to be deciding what to do with them. Rob hasn't returned to that area, and Chris has given up backcountry camping entirely.Finally, Cindy from Avon, Indiana, tells us about her Pekingese dog Tamara, who came with an attached spirit. Everyone who had contact with Tamara seemed to die, and on Cindy's first night with the dog, strange things happened: the dog growled at something invisible, windows flew open, lights went out, and doors opened and closed by themselves. Cindy realized it was a previous owner who couldn't let go of her beloved pet. After Cindy promised to care for Tamara, the spirit finally found peace. Cindy kept that dog for 10 beautiful years.📞 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

    The Woman You Can Only See When You're Not Looking

    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. Five true ghost stories that cover more paranormal ground than almost any other episode this season. 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, 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. Years later, Tessa learned the history. The man who built the house had a daughter who died at eight years old. Families in that era sometimes made dolls from the dead child's real hair, dressed in the same clothes they wore when they died. That doll was that little girl.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.

    Real Ghost Stories for Stormy Afternoons

    Throughout this episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I weave together these listener-submitted ghost stories through haunting phone calls, exploring themes of persistent hauntings, mysterious encounters, and the supernatural bonds that endure beyond death. From a mortuary-turned-apartment in Michigan to legendary roadside spirits in New York to Hollywood's most loyal ghost dog, these real ghost stories showcase the diverse and deeply personal nature of paranormal experiences.True ghost stories from real people featured in this episode:1. Tony from Ypsilanti, Michigan -- The Victorian Mortuary Turned Apartment I'm taking you to Ypsilanti, Michigan, in the early 1990s, where Tony and his girlfriend experienced relentless paranormal activity in a Victorian home that once served as a mortuary. Imagine living in a haunted house where bread mysteriously moves between cabinets, showers turn on by themselves, and invisible footsteps fill empty rooms. Tony shares chilling details about beds shaking, the overwhelming scent of lilacs in winter, and the night he and his girlfriend fled to a hotel after hearing what sounded like ten people walking through their apartment—when no one else was home. They discovered a trap door system that once functioned as an elevator from the basement to the top floor, and their camcorder mysteriously shut off during recording attempts. The most unsettling part? When Tony returned ten years later, new tenants reported experiencing the same supernatural encounters.2. Angela from Upstate New York -- The Woman in White on Route 9 Angela shares a terrifying encounter on Route 9 at 2 AM that still haunts her three years later. Driving home in complete darkness, she encountered a woman in a long white dress standing motionless in the middle of the road. As Angela tried to help, a man emerged from the trees and began approaching her car. The woman's face was wrong, her mouth too large, her eyes like black holes. Angela fled the scene and called the police, who found nothing but revealed she wasn't the first person to report seeing a woman in white on that stretch of road. This chilling real ghost story explores the terrifying question: was it a supernatural encounter with a legendary ghost, or criminals using local folklore to prey on travelers? 3. Tessa from Los Angeles, California -- Kabar: The Ghost Dog Still Waiting Tessa recounts a deeply moving supernatural encounter at the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery in Calabasas, where Rudolph Valentino's beloved Doberman, Kabar, is buried. After learning the heartbreaking story of a dog who died of grief in 1929 waiting for his famous owner to return, Tessa knelt by the grave and called Kabar's name. What happened next defies explanation. She felt a cold, wet sensation on her hand, exactly like a dog's affectionate nuzzle and lick. Her hand was visibly damp with no logical source, and she heard a happy whine in response to her praise. This touching true ghost story explores the enduring loyalty of animals and spirits that transcend death. Dozens of visitors have reported identical experiences at Kabar's grave, suggesting this good boy has been faithfully waiting for almost a century. Whether you're drawn to haunted house stories, eerie roadside encounters, or touching tales of animal spirits, this episode delivers authentic supernatural storytelling perfect for spooky season, Halloween, or any night you crave genuine, real-life ghost stories and paranormal encounters. These aren't just creepy tales; they're true paranormal stories from real people experiencing the unexplained. Join me as I explore hauntings that span decades, spirits that wait eternally, and the unsettling question of what's real and what's legend.📞 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

    After Death Experiences and Electronic Hauntings: Real Ghost Stories of the Unexplained

    Throughout this episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I weave together these listener-submitted ghost stories through haunting phone calls, exploring themes of what follows us back from death, objects with malevolent intentions, spirits attached to locations, and entities that watch from impossible places. From near-death consequences in Colorado to possessed clowns to protective Civil War battlefields, these true ghost stories showcase the disturbing variety of paranormal experiences that people encounter.True ghost stories from real people featured in this episode:1. Tyler from Colorado -- The Voice That Came Back From Drowning 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. This haunting true paranormal story explores what happens when you come back from death, and what might come back with you. A deeply disturbing real ghost story about near-death experiences and their supernatural consequences.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? A chilling true ghost story about possessed objects and supernatural encounters that defy explanation.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. The figure's face was blurred, like it had been smudged out of a photograph. Following his manager's advice, Carlos said hello to Danny, and the apparition stepped aside to let him pass. Other employees treated these encounters as completely normal, but after three weeks of paranormal activity, Carlos quit. A real-life ghost story about workplace hauntings and spirits who never clock out.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. The eyes don't appear on camera, but they're visible to the naked eye. Most disturbing, they're getting closer—now pressing right up against the glass with light tapping sounds. Jenna has started sleeping in her living room and plans to break her lease. She discovered the previous tenant had fled suddenly in the middle of the night. This terrifying supernatural story explores malevolent entities that watch, wait, and won't leave.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. Whether you're drawn to supernatural consequences of death, haunted objects, workplace ghosts, malevolent watchers, or historical hauntings, this episode delivers authentic spooky storytelling perfect for spooky season, Halloween, or any night you crave genuine, real-life ghost stories and eerie tales of the unexplained.These aren't just creepy stories; they're true paranormal stories from real people living with supernatural encounters they can't explain.Join me as I explore what comes back when we return from death, entities that refuse to stay gone, and the question that haunts us all: what's watching from the darkness?📞 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

    Our Boogeyman Turned Out to Be.... a Real Serial Killer

    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.

    "There Have Been Others"... When a Prayer Becomes Deadly

    Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost Story In this haunting episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I'm sharing true paranormal stories from real phone calls, modern ghost stories about things that follow us, prayers with deadly power, and legends that still terrorize. These are real ghost encounters told by the voices who lived them.👻 Christina from Phoenix shares an uncanny experience about something that's followed her everywhere she's lived. Real-life ghost stories about shadow figures, exploding glass, and doorknobs that shake as if something's trying to get in. Her husband and best friend both say the paranormal activity started when she entered their lives. This true ghost story explores what it means when hauntings follow you from place to place — a real paranormal story that raises questions about why some people attract spirits.🙏 Helen from Mississippi tells a chilling ghost story about her Uncle John, a respected church deacon whose prayers seemed dangerously powerful. When his daughter's fiancé died suddenly after Uncle John prayed about the engagement, Helen started noticing a pattern. Her aunt's terrified words, "there have been others", suggest something far darker than divine intervention. This supernatural story blurs the line between faith and something sinister.💙 Donny, a hospice nurse from New Mexico, shares a true paranormal story that isn't scary but deeply moving. His friend Nikki, who had Down Syndrome, spent his final morning crying because he heard his mother calling him home for dinner, but couldn't remember how to get there. He died right before lunch that day. This real ghost story reminds us that paranormal encounters aren't always frightening; sometimes they're about loved ones guiding us home.🚗 Dimitri calls from Chicago with a ghost story from Cold War Poland, the legend of the Black Volga, known as Satan's limousine. This black car with white curtains would prowl Eastern European streets, and if it stopped, whoever was inside would grab passersby, especially children, never to be seen again. Was it the KGB? human trafficking? Organ thieves? Or the devil himself? Dimitri saw it as a child and barely escaped. This eerie story explores how real paranormal legends emerge from historical trauma and disappearances.👤 Cindy Ketron shares a family ghost story passed down from her great-grandpa: The Decapitated Man's Ghost. During a wake in the early 1900s, men playing cards with a farmer's headless body were joined by an unexpected guest: the decapitated man's ghost himself, sitting down to play. This haunted story proves that sometimes the dead don't realize they're gone, and old supernatural stories have a way of sticking with us.Each phone call in this paranormal podcast captures real ghost encounters, ghosts and hauntings, and true ghost stories that blur the line between the living and the dead.

    Nobody Warned Me Until It Was Too Late....The Grey Woman of Apartment 3F

    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

    Haunting Dreams: Real Ghost Stories and Shadow Men

    This week's episode delves into haunting dreams and true ghost stories. On Tell Me A Ghost Story, the calls take us everywhere, from the shadowy corners of old inns to childhood bedrooms heavy with dread.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 Sabrina Wu 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.

    The Woman in the Red Dress Sat Down at the Diner… Then Vanished

    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

    True Ghost Stories: Three Figures Came Through a Closed Door, a Glowing Angel, and Fire Instead of a Mattress

    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.

    True Ghost Stories: A Crab Shaped Ghost, Sleep Paralysis Attackers, Ruth Who Came Back for Her Things, and a Lady from the Closet

    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.

    True Ghost Stories: A Bloody Handprint in a Dark Gym, a Shapeshifter on Palomar Mountain, and a Brother Who Called to Say Goodbye

    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. Three true ghost stories for Halloween.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.

    True Ghost Stories: Shadow People Pulled Christina Off Her Chair and a Growling Dark Figure Sat on Nellie While She Slept

    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.

    True Ghost Stories: 300 Bodies in a Georgia Barn, a Dogman at the Sliding Glass Door, and a Hostel Earthquake Nobody Felt

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    True Ghost Stories from Texas: A Succubus, a Haunted Home, a Church Ghost, and More Real Encounters

    Hey, it's Michelle, and welcome to Mixtape Vol 2. 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. Six callers. Six true ghost stories. And Texas is showing up again in force, which at this point in the show's history should surprise absolutely no one.Six real callers. Six true paranormal encounters. Here is what is waiting for you.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 specific and documented history across cultures that dates back thousands of years. Tyler sought the help of a priest. The activity eventually subsided. Tyler 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 are 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 on a regular basis 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. Alexandra was simply trying to find somewhere to live when the properties she was touring made clear in their own ways that they already had occupants who had not agreed to leave. Texas strikes again.And finally, Lauren calls in with her experience of spirit orbs, the specific and 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. Lauren's encounter with a black orb in her boyfriend's house was connected to the spirit of a previous owner who apparently never finished being there, and her perspective on what she saw and what it meant is one of the more thoughtful paranormal accounts in the early archive.Six true ghost stories. One Texas mixtape. 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.
