True Ghost Stories That Keep Insomniacs Up All Night (Encore)

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.

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.

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

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.

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
