"Rest in peace." We say this when somebody passes because we hope that their spirit moves to the other side peacefully. But sometimes that transition is disrupted, resulting in a ghost. In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing stories of spirits who are still lingering on earth, unable to rest.First, I tell the tale of a grandfather ghost who had to deal with his feuding wife and mistresses.Then, I narrate the time a young girl was haunted by a lady who lived in her closet. Next, I read the experience of a person who was protected by a murdered boy while astral projecting. And finally, I share the story of a truck driver who encountered a phantom little girl.Ch 1 - Drama in the after life, submitted by JonCh 2 - The lady who lived in my closet, submitted by JurieCh 3 - The blood executioner, submitted by TylerCh 4 - Truck route, submitted by Tele
