Ghost Story
True Crime
Host Tristan Redman is a seasoned journalist who doesn’t believe in ghosts. But weird things happened in the bedroom he lived in as a teenager. When he discovers years later that subsequent occupants of the same house have been visited by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. Because it just so happens that Tristan’s childhood home is right next door to the house where his wife’s great grandmother, Naomi Dancy, was murdered in 1937 – killed by two gunshots to the face. Could there be a connection between the ghost and the murder? Tristan decides to investigate and soon finds himself going where no son-in-law should go, deep into his wife’s family history, asking questions no one wants answered.

Ghost Story Update: Burning Questions Answered | 8
12/20/2023
When Tristan Redman decided to investigate a murder in his wife’s family, and a haunting in his teenage bedroom, he knew he was asking for trouble. Would anyone in the family still be speaking to him by Christmas? Turns out that’s a question a lot of listeners have been asking since the series dropped in October – along with questions about the investigation itself and whether Tristan and producer Annie Brown have come to believe in ghosts. So we asked one Ghost Story fan – Elizabeth Day, award-winning author and host of the hit podcast, How to Fail with Elizabeth Day – to sit down with Tristan and Annie for this special bonus episode, where they explore the answers to some of the great questions which have poured in since we launched the show.
