Tell Me A Ghost Story

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.

In this encore episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story....here are some of my favorite 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  

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

Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost StoryIn 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 real ghost encounters, hospital hauntings, addiction's spiritual dimensions, 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.📞 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

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.
