This week on Tell Me A Ghost Story, we’re opening the door just a little wider into the unknown.

Host Michelle Newman invites you to sit back, turn down the lights, and listen closely—because these true ghost stories from real people might just follow you into your dreams.

First, we travel to the infamous Whispers Estate in Indiana, where Cindy Ketron felt the presence of spirits, especially one named Rachel, a little girl she believes didn’t stay behind. When the ghost stories follow you home… what then?

Then, David from Kansas City shares a chilling brush with sleep paralysis—a terrifying liminal space where shadows gather and you’re too scared to blink. The spirits that visited him didn’t just lurk in the corner—they watched.

Brittany from Utah tells us about her great-grandmother Ruth, a feisty spirit who wasn’t quite ready to let go of her things. This spooky story unfolds across generations, proving that sometimes family ties bind even beyond the veil.

Sydney in Nebraska grew up in a house that seemed to breathe on its own. Her haunting begins quietly, but you’ll want to keep the lights on for this one.

And Yamari from Pennsylvania brings us another paranormal encounter—shadow figures, spirit visitations, and that cold grip of sleep paralysis many know, but few talk about.

Finally, Erica from San Diego shares a moment so strange, so vivid—it’s hard to explain. A childhood memory of floating above a pit of fire, caught between worlds, and surrounded by something not quite of this one.

Every tale in this episode is stitched with the eerie details that only those who’ve lived through it can offer. These are not just ghost stories—they’re lived experiences, shared in whispers and late-night voicemails.

If you’ve ever felt that chill crawl up your spine or wondered if the spirits can reach us through dreams, this one’s for you.
