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 has two true ghost stories that approach the paranormal from completely different angles. One is deeply unsettling. One is almost comforting. Both of them are real.

Roc calls in about his little sister's imaginary best friend. We all know how that goes on this show. Children who see things adults cannot, who speak to presences that have no physical form, who describe their invisible companions with a specificity and consistency that is hard to write off as imagination. Roc's sister had a friend that no one else could see, and around the time this friend appeared, something else started happening in the house. The pets began dying. One after another with no clear medical explanation. The connection between the invisible friend and what was happening to the animals is something Roc has never been able to fully explain and has never been able to entirely dismiss.

Then Carlo calls in with a ghost story that takes an unexpected turn toward the genuinely useful. His roommate, Daisy, gives him advice. She tells him things. She seems to have opinions about how he is living his life, and she communicates them clearly enough that Carlo has learned to listen. The detail that makes Daisy's story different from a standard haunting is that Carlo is not afraid of her. He has come to think of her as a presence that is looking out for him rather than threatening him. Daisy is a ghost roommate in the most literal sense, and Carlo has made his peace with that arrangement.

Two real callers. Two true ghost stories about the invisible companions we share our spaces with and what happens when we pay attention to them. This is where Tell Me A Ghost Story began.
