Tell Me A Ghost Story

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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

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?

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 about hospital hauntings, cursed rooms, ghosts that only appear in peripheral vision, and supernatural encounters that challenge what we think we know about haunted spaces. These are real ghost encounters told by the voices who lived them. 👻 James from San Francisco returns with more stories from his decade working at UCSF Medical Center on Parnassus, one of the most haunted hospitals in California. Real-life ghost stories about volcanic smoke rising from urinals, bathroom voices that vanish the moment you open the door, and invisible hands pulling at his jacket on the basement stairs. He tells us the kitchen where he worked used to be a morgue, and rumors of an exorcism on the eighth floor of the Children's Wing in the early 1980s. This true ghost story explores what happens when the living work alongside spaces meant for the dead. 🏚️ Melissa from Pittsburgh shares a chilling ghost story about Graystone House, a sprawling stone mansion built in the 1700s as a stagecoach inn and brothel, later turned into a group home for teenage boys. Every single day at 6 PM, the doorbell rings. Multiple doors. Nobody's ever there. Faucets turn on full blast in empty rooms. Someone or something loves a good prank. 🚪 A caller shares an unsettling story about a five-bedroom rental house with one room nobody can keep filled. Four different tenants have rented that room by the main entryway, and all four ended up in rehab or developed serious addiction problems. This true paranormal story explores the terrifying connection between spaces and suffering. I dive into Dr. Gabor Maté's book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and the Buddhist concept of hungry ghosts — beings trapped in endless cycles of craving and emptiness. What if some rooms hold hunger? What if desperation can soak into walls the same way smoke does? This haunted story isn't about chains rattling; it's about spaces that recognize your emptiness and whisper that nothing will ever be enough. 👁️ Chuck from Upstate New York tells a ghost story that's been haunting his entire neighborhood: the woman in the empty lot. Where a house burned down decades ago, there's now just weeds and broken concrete. And a woman who stands there. But you can only see her out of the corner of your eye. Chuck and his neighbors have all seen her, wearing something pale, standing perfectly still, never moving. This eerie story explores ghosts that exist only in peripheral vision, in that uncertain space between seeing and not-seeing. 🕯️ Diane from Sedona, a practicing diviner, shares a true paranormal story about a Ouija board session that went too far. She was helping someone contact his deceased father when her hands went ice cold, and her whole body started shaking uncontrollably. She describes feeling "squished inside her own body, making room for something else to move in." She has no memory of the conversation that followed. The man testing her lifted his finger off the planchette completely, and it kept moving, flying across the board with only Diane's finger on it. When she "came back to herself," the complete skeptic she'd been reading for was pale and shaking, because she'd told him things only his father could have known. 👔 Cindy Ketron shares a family ghost story passed down from her great-grandpa: the day he met the devil in a hayfield during the Great Depression. A normal-looking man in a business suit appeared with a notepad and pencil, offering a contract to solve great-grandpa's problems. When great-grandpa simply said, "What if I told you I didn't want the offer?", the devil didn't know what to do and disappeared. This haunted story from the 1930s reminds us that sometimes the scariest thing you can do to something that wants power over you is simply refuse to be afraid. Each phone call in this paranormal podcast captures...

Hey everyone, Michelle here! You guys brought it this week. I mean, seriously, the voicemails have been incredible. I sat down to go through them, and I got actual goosebumps listening to some of these. So let's just jump right in because I cannot wait to share what you all called in with. Sarah's Through-the-Door Guy First up is Sarah from Luther, Alabama. So this happened about five or six years ago when she was living in Florida. She and her ex were heading to a friend's house, and right as they're pulling into the driveway, she saw this man standing at the front door. Back turned to them, long hair, shorts, t-shirt, she could even see his socks. Just a regular-looking guy, right? Wrong. He walks straight through the door. Like, INTO the door and gone. Sarah made her husband drive around the block because she needed a minute. And honestly? Same. She's like, "I've seen things my whole life, but I've never seen anything go through a wall or a door." So they finally go inside, and she's asking, "Is anybody else here? Is anybody else here?" trying to make sense of what she just saw. Nobody was there. She mentions it to the guy who owns the house, and he's like, "Oh yeah, my brother-in-law saw the exact same guy you just described walking through my house." THE EXACT SAME GUY. Sarah, I love that you called in with this. And you said you hope to see something else soon? Call me when you do! Also, Sarah gave a shoutout to Cindy, who calls in all the time, and Cindy, we're getting to your story in just a bit because yes, you did call this week! Tessa and the Doll That Moved Itself Tessa grew up as a military kid, always moving around, temporary houses, the whole thing. When she was five, they rented this huge Victorian house in East Texas. Three stories, creaky everything, the works. The attic was full of the owner's stuff, old furniture, trunks, and this long glass case just FILLED with porcelain dolls. Like a hundred of them all lined up. And there's one doll Tessa just fell in love with, red hair, green eyes, this beautiful blue silk dress. She begged her dad to let her have it. He said no. He even locked the attic door. A month goes by, Tessa's kind of forgotten about the whole thing, and she comes home one day, and there's the red-haired doll sitting on her bed. At first, she thinks it's a surprise! She plays with it constantly until her dad gets home. When he sees the doll, he FREAKS OUT. Takes it away, marches straight up to the attic to put it back... and the door is still locked. His key is still in his pocket. Years later, Tessa learns the house's history. The man who built it had a daughter who died when she was eight years old. Back in those days, families would actually make a doll that looked like the child who passed away, using their real hair and putting it in the same clothes the child wore when they died. That doll was that little girl. The Post Street Ghost Alright, so we got a call about an old estate jewelry place on Post Street, I think this was in San Francisco, back in 1993. Long offices, long hallways, and apparently, everyone who worked there knew about the ghost that would ring doorbells when people were alone. Our caller - I didn't catch your name, sorry! - he's there by himself one day, and sure enough, the doorbell rings. Goes to check. Nobody there. He glances down this long hallway and sees what he thinks is his coworker Brett. Tall guy, red flannel shirt. A few seconds later, the phone rings. It's Brett. "Hey, how are you doing?" Brett is not in the building. It was the ghost. And the doorbells just kept ringing the whole time he worked there. You said you have more stories, and honestly, I really want to hear them, so please call back! Ashley and the Queen Mary When Ashley was about 11, her whole family - like 12 people, aunts, uncles, cousins - went to California and toured the Queen Mary. You know, the famously haunted ship. One of her younger cousins got too scared,...

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?

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...

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.

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. Whether you believe in spirits or approach these as spooky storytelling, these real paranormal stories connect us through shared experiences with the unexplainable.

Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost Story In 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?

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. 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. Let’s listen together. 👻 📞 Have a real ghost story or spooky tale to share?

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?

This week on Tell Me A Ghost Story, I’m sharing a new round of true ghost stories straight from your calls—real people, real voices, real hauntings. Mark from Iowa admits he’s always been a skeptic, but that changed the night he and his friend saw a pale face pressed against the glass of a picture window. Another caller takes us deep into the strange world of premonitions—those heavy, unshakable feelings of dread that somehow seem to line up with tragedy. We’ll visit an abandoned church in Galway, Ireland, where a preacher once dropped dead mid-sermon, and hear the unsettling story of an “imaginary friend” that didn’t sound so imaginary after all. And then, in Seattle, Dan tells us about hearing phantom cries around Green Lake—the same lake where the real-life murder of Sylvia Gaines left a haunting that lingers to this day. These are the kinds of stories I love sharing with you—haunting tales where folklore, history, and lived experience collide. If you’re drawn to paranormal podcasts that explore not just what happened, but why, you’re in the right place. So gather close, press play, and let’s step into the world of real ghost stories together. 📞 Have a real ghost story or spooky tale to share?
