Deep in the woods, near old campsites and crumbling buildings, figures are seen drifting just beyond the tree line—watching, moving silently, never stepping fully into the light. They're not fellow campers, and they’re certainly not lost hikers. In this episode, we explore chilling encounters with apparitions in forgotten places, raising the question: Are these the spirits of those who once lived—and died—out here, still carrying on as if nothing has changed? Is it possible they never left because time simply... didn’t?   If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

When a couple buys a 200-year-old farmhouse to start their business, they expect a few challenges—but dealing with spirits wasn’t in the business plan. What begins as an exciting renovation project soon turns into a nightmare as full-bodied apparitions, disembodied voices, and poltergeist activity become part of their daily lives. As employees and customers report strange encounters—like a soldier in uniform vanishing into thin air and a child seeing a man in an orange shirt no one else can—the couple realizes their business has become a spiritual train station. With spirits coming and going, some friendly and others dangerous, they learn the hard way that even their home, miles away from the farmhouse, isn’t safe from the haunting. There’s no escape when the spirits know where you live.
