It Shows Up When It's Needed by Robert McDermott | A ghost born of tragedy
A haunting story born of tragedy, a ghost that lingers just long enough to be remembered...
"I turned. A boy sat at the far end of the bench... I felt as if something about him was off, not eerie or wrong, just off as if he was somehow dimmer and softer. Like the light didn’t catch him quite the same way it did other things…"
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jonas
In a moment of stillness, a chance meeting becomes something far more profound — a presence shaped by loss, memory, and the fragile space between worlds.This original paranormal ghost story explores grief, connection, and the possibility that some spirits remain not to haunt… but to help.
This episode contains themes of suicide that some listeners may find distressing.
If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:
Freddie (an emotional and deeply moving haunting that stays with you long after the final line)
One Always Comes Back (a powerful story of loss, love, and something that refuses to let go)
Sukie in the Graveyard (a touching ghost story with a haunting twist)
