Episode Details

This is one of the original Tell Me A Ghost Story calls from the early days of the show. Short, raw, and exactly where it all started. These calls were later incorporated into a longer compilation episode with full host commentary if you want the complete experience.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this early episode is a little different from most because I am not just hosting this one. I am in it. I start with one of my own real ghost encounters, and then two listeners call in with true ghost stories that could not be more different from each other. One is terrifying. One will break your heart a little.

I was working as a photographer in a house filled with the kind of HomeGoods decor that already makes you feel like something is slightly off. And then something rushed past me from behind. No one was there. I felt it before I could explain it, and I have not stopped thinking about it since. This was my first real paranormal encounter, and it is the one that made me understand why people call this show.

Then Nellie calls in with a haunting memory from her childhood home. A woman weeping somewhere in the house. Sorrowful and persistent and tied to the spirit of an elderly woman who had lived there before Nellie's family moved in. Nellie's story is one of those real ghost encounters that is less about fear and more about the emotional weight that spirits can carry with them long after they are gone.

And finally, Maggie shares a vivid dream that felt nothing like a dream. Her friend Liz had died in a car accident, and Liz came back, just once, to say goodbye. Maggie believes it completely, and after hearing how she describes it, I do too. Some of the most powerful true ghost stories we receive are not about terror at all. They are about love that does not know how to end.

Three real stories. One from your host. Two from listeners who called in and trusted us with something deeply personal. This is where Tell Me A Ghost Story began.
