Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost Story

In this chilling new episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I'm sharing true paranormal stories from a place that was deeply personal to me, apartment 3F in San Francisco's Mission District. These are real ghost encounters experienced by multiple people, including myself, all centered around the same supernatural presence. These are modern ghost stories about a home that meant everything to our friend group... and the spirit who lived there with us.

🏠 Apartment 3F was our hub, the heart of our late twenties friend group, a home away from home. Anytime you needed a place to crash, there was always room at Sarah's place. But here's the thing: no one who lived there would confirm there was a ghost. Not until years later, when we all finally realized we'd been experiencing the same haunting and just never talked about it.

👻 I'm sharing my own real-life ghost story, the night I came home from a comedy show at 2 or 3 in the morning and walked face-to-face into the gray woman in the kitchen. Frizzy hair, gray sweater, gray skirt, sensible shoes. We were eye level. I think I startled her as much as she startled me. And then, blip, she was gone. This paranormal encounter was what finally got us all talking.

🛏️ My friend Sarah, who owned the apartment, reluctantly shares her true ghost stories she'd kept quiet for years. The woman who watched her sleep. The presence that crawled into bed with her. The things she still won't talk about because she doesn't want to give them attention. Her haunted story is told with real hesitation; you can hear how much she doesn't want to feed whatever was living there.

💍 Alex, Sarah's roommate, tells her ghost story with a different energy — jewelry mysteriously falling to the floor, being watched in bed night after night, until she finally got so fed up she yelled at the spirit to GET OUT. And it actually worked. Sometimes you just have to claim your space back from the supernatural.

📞 I've also included phone calls from six other people who experienced the same entity, fleeting glimpses in the kitchen, corner-of-the-eye sightings, the woman standing by the sink at 2 AM. Each caller adds another layer to this haunting, proving this wasn't just our imagination. This was real paranormal activity witnessed by people who'd never even met each other. 

This episode weaves together ghost encounters, eerie stories, and haunted house experiences into one cohesive supernatural story. It's about a place where spirits linger, where friends saw the same presence but were too afraid to talk about it until we'd all moved on and could finally share the truth.

Whether you're a believer in ghosts and hauntings, a skeptic curious about real ghost stories, or just here for spooky storytelling during spooky season, this paranormal podcast episode captures that space between the living and the dead. It's perfect for Halloween listening or any time you want true paranormal stories told through intimate phone calls and personal confessions.

If you love haunted stories, supernatural encounters, real-life ghost stories, or hearing from people who've lived through something unexplainable, this is your invitation to turn down the lights and listen. Because apartment 3F wasn't just haunted — it was home to all of us. And to her.

In this chilling new episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, we’re diving into true paranormal stories shared through real phone calls, eerie confessions from ordinary people who’ve come face-to-face with something they can’t explain. These are modern ghost stories, told by the voices who lived them.

🌲 Stevie from California shares a haunting encounter deep in the woods near Yosemite — a night of howling wind, a barking dog, and mysterious handprints left on every window of her locked car. Was it a ghost, or something far more human lurking in the dark?

🎸 Johnny from Kansas tells a supernatural story about channeling the spirit of the late guitarist Randy Rhoads — a spectral presence that seems to appear whenever his music is played. This isn’t just a haunting; it’s a duet between the living and the dead.

🍸 Frank the Bartender remembers the spirit of a former homeowner who didn’t seem to realize he was gone — a ghostly roommate who tinkered in the basement until Frank finally demanded peace. Sometimes, ghosts just need to be told to let the living sleep.

👧 Emily recounts the night her young twins both saw “the girl in the corner,” smiling but unmoving — a terrifying haunting that leaves you wondering: who are our children really talking to when they say they see someone?

💨 Aaron from Indiana gives us one of those quiet, bone-deep paranormal encounters: the sound of a sigh — right beside him in bed, in an empty, locked house. Just breath, presence, and chilling tension in the dark.

🚗 Jess from Oregon retells the Pacific Northwest’s most famous roadside legend — The Bandage Man of Cannon Beach. A ghostly figure wrapped in bloody bandages is said to appear on Highway 101, pounding on car windows before vanishing into the fog.

💀 Cynthia from Indiana brings a story passed down through her family — The Elderly Lady and Her Bag of Bones. A mysterious woman with a black cat and a bag full of human remains vanishes into thin air, echoing legends like El Silbón, the South American spirit doomed to wander the earth carrying his sins on his back.

Each caller’s voice captures that liminal space between fear and curiosity, where the living meet the lingering. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just here for the storytelling, this episode weaves together ghost encounters, haunted dreams, and true paranormal stories with the intimate tone Tell Me A Ghost Story is known for.

If you love ghosts and hauntings, true ghost stories, real-life ghost stories, or paranormal podcasts filled with spooky storytelling and personal confessions, this episode is your invitation to turn down the lights, press play, and listen closely. Because every whisper, every chill, every sigh, might be more than just the wind.

On this episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I’ve got a collection of real ghost stories from listeners that still give me chills. These aren’t just spooky campfire tales — they’re true ghost stories told over the phone by real people who have lived through terrifying hauntings.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• From Atlanta, Noah remembers playing hide-and-seek in a Mississippi antebellum mansion when a ghostly figure with red reflective eyes appeared. Years later, in a Las Vegas hotel room, he encountered the spirits of a grayscale boy and a father dressed in 19th-century clothing. (Noah also hosts Real Hauntings, Real Ghost Stories, where I joined him on the episode “Ghost in My Bed.”)
• Michael from Watertown, MA, tells me about the chilling appearance of a woman in a blue nun’s habit. What started as strange sightings turned into escalating paranormal activity at home and a spiritual reckoning he’ll never forget.
• Christina, in Phoenix, lived in an apartment next to a cemetery and endured some of the most unsettling hauntings I’ve ever heard: a little girl’s apparition, phantom footsteps, children’s laughter, and even a violently shaking coffee pot.
• Reid from Colorado Springs shares how a towering shadow person first appeared in their childhood bathroom, and later followed them to a new home years later.
• Cindy Ketron from Avon, IN, has been haunted by “Herbert,” an invisible entity that’s been with her and her brother since childhood. Her haunted tale is a reminder that sometimes the scariest ghosts are the ones that stay with us for life.

 If you love ghost stories, haunted tales, and exploring the mysteries of the paranormal, this episode will leave you wondering what’s out there and who might be listening when the lights go out.

This week on Tell Me A Ghost Story, I, Michelle Newman, your host, bring you another collection of real ghost stories told directly through your phone calls. These aren’t campfire tales; they’re true ghost stories that listeners lived, and now share with us on this paranormal podcast.

Anna from Tacoma tells of a family ashtray that mysteriously filled with cigarette ash one afternoon, then followed the next day by a shocking local crime tied to cigarettes. Don't smoke, kids.

Marshall in Florida shares a late-night haunting when his bedroom door slammed shut at 2:40 a.m., the room dropping cold around him.

Donnie, a hospice nurse, recalls hearing a dead patient’s voice say “thank you”, proving good manners are important even after death. 

Julia’s young son claims he talks to “the lady in the corner,”  an old-fashioned woman who smiles but never moves, and who told him not to tell his mom. 

From Hollywood, Jimmy describes the dark, unsettling energy of a famous actor, sparking rumors of a deal with the devil. 

And Christina from Phoenix shares her haunted tale of working in a medical office where a tall man appeared at the foot of her chair during a nap, a figure she still glimpses from the corner of her eye.

This week on Tell Me A Ghost Story, I’m bringing you some of the most unsettling true ghost stories I’ve ever heard—real calls from listeners who’ve lived through the unexplainable.

Christie from Los Angeles takes us inside the haunted Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire, where she came face-to-face with a smear-like apparition in broad daylight and so did psychic Chip Coffee. 

Jessica from San Antonio, TX, shares her family’s terrifying experiences in a haunted home—protective male spirits battling against one malevolent female presence.

Then we hear from Reid in Colorado, who describes how a solo Ouija board session unleashed a shadow person that refused to leave.

Nicole from Phoenix recalls a chilling childhood moment when a disembodied voice whispered “I see you”—a phrase tied to her home’s haunted past.

And finally, Cindy Ketron from Indiana tells one of the strangest paranormal stories yet: her father’s rental house haunted by a murderer’s spirit—and a ghostly spider with a human face crawling right into his dreams.

These aren’t just ghost stories—they’re haunting tales of how the supernatural finds its way into our homes, our history, and sometimes, our sleep. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, I promise these calls will leave you questioning what’s real… and what’s waiting just beyond the veil.

This week's episode delves into haunting dreams and true ghost stories. On Tell Me A Ghost Story, the calls take us everywhere, from the shadowy corners of old inns to childhood bedrooms heavy with dread.

Our first caller, who wishes to remain anonymous, takes us to the Bush House Inn in Washington State. What started as a hiking getaway turned into something unforgettable when she dreamt her husband had died, only to later discover her vision matched the inn’s most famous ghost story. Was it just a coincidence, or a case of a *place-memory haunting*, where history bleeds into the dreams of its guests?

From Chicago, Emily shares a haunting tale of being tapped awake at night, convinced it was her cat. But when she got up, the cat was nowhere near her… and the front door stood wide open. Who—or what—wanted her attention?

Next, comedian Sabrina Wu calls in with memories of her childhood home in Michigan, where certain rooms always radiated a malevolent energy. Was it just bad feng shui, or something darker? Even her mother seemed to sense it, filling the house with sage-scented candles. Sabrina’s story reminds us how family homes can carry not only memories, but also energies that linger long after childhood ends.

Then Pastor Elijah from Tennessee takes us inside what the locals call the *cursed house* by the railroad tracks. Asked to pray over the home, he encountered something that wasn’t the Lord standing with him. A shadow man on the wall, heavy footsteps in the hall, it was enough to drive one of his church couples out for good.

And finally, Cindy Ketron is back and shares the chilling story of a girl named "Sarah Miller", her childhood friend who loved the color red. Sarah would walk her home from school… until one day, she disappeared mid-step. Cindy later learned Sarah had died in a car accident. To this day, she says, Sarah’s ghost still appears in Speedway, Indiana, always dressed in red.

These are more than just ghost stories. They’re true calls from real people, threaded with folklore, mystery, and history. Whether it’s dreams that echo tragedy, shadow figures that watch us in silence, or childhood friends who never really leave, these haunting tales remind us that the past is never as far away as we think.

So, gather close. Let’s listen together. 👻

This week on *Tell Me A Ghost Story*, I’m bringing you some of the eeriest, most unforgettable true ghost stories I’ve heard yet—straight from real phone calls with our listeners.

Comedian Sabrina Wu calls in from New York with a haunting tale about footsteps on the ceiling, phantom babies crying, and a flickering light that seemed to mock their fear.

Brett shares the unsettling sound of children laughing and playing on an empty playground at midnight, a ghost story that made me shiver.

I also heard from a medical courier who saw a blinding white light rush past the doors of a nursing home, a place already steeped in haunted history.

And Linda, a 73-year-old restaurant worker, took me back to her bartending days in the 1970s and 80s, where she saw spirits in mirrors, chairs flying across the floor, and a woman in red who vanished before her eyes.

But perhaps the most astonishing call came from Khyelle in Los Angeles, who described not just sleep paralysis but nightly astral travel, her spirit leaving her body, soaring through the stars, and even stepping onto the dark side of the moon.

Every story in this episode reminds us that hauntings don’t just happen in old houses—they happen in apartments, schools, restaurants, and sometimes even within our own sleeping bodies.

These real ghost stories weave together with folklore, history, and myth to remind us why we keep asking the question: Are ghosts real?

This week on Tell Me A Ghost Story, I’m sharing a new round of true ghost stories straight from your calls—real people, real voices, real hauntings.

Mark from Iowa admits he’s always been a skeptic, but that changed the night he and his friend saw a pale face pressed against the glass of a picture window.

Another caller takes us deep into the strange world of premonitions—those heavy, unshakable feelings of dread that somehow seem to line up with tragedy.

We’ll visit an abandoned church in Galway, Ireland, where a preacher once dropped dead mid-sermon, and hear the unsettling story of an “imaginary friend” that didn’t sound so imaginary after all. And then, in Seattle, Dan tells us about hearing phantom cries around Green Lake—the same lake where the real-life murder of Sylvia Gaines left a haunting that lingers to this day.

These are the kinds of stories I love sharing with you—haunting tales where folklore, history, and lived experience collide. If you’re drawn to paranormal podcasts that explore not just what happened, but why, you’re in the right place. So gather close, press play, and let’s step into the world of real ghost stories together.

Join us as we unravel true ghost stories from real people, featuring a captivating call from Brennan, who shares his unsettling encounters with the paranormal while living in the historic city of Victoria, BC.

Brennan’s journey into the world of ghostly tales begins with skepticism, but everything changes when he witnesses a shadowy figure lurking in his workplace. This spine-tingling experience is just the beginning, as he recounts a series of strange occurrences with shadow figures that leave him feeling profoundly uneasy and even depressed.

Then he shares an unlikely transformative experience involving an elderly Indigenous man named Dennis, who gives him a much-needed spiritual cleansing and challenges Brennan's understanding of reality and the paranormal.

Through Dennis’s guidance, Brennan learns that he has been afflicted by the 'wrong spirit,' leading to a powerful ritual that alters his perception of the world around him. This encounter not only sheds light on his haunting experiences but also opens a door to a deeper understanding of the spirits that may linger among us. As Brennan reflects on how these experiences have changed him, he reveals the ongoing presence of shadow figures in his life, making this episode a must-listen for anyone intrigued by haunted tales and eerie stories.

Brennan Storr, host of the podcast The Ghost Story Guys check out his new podcast, Fear Daily, with Southern Gothic creator Brandon Schexnayder and his book of ghost stories called A Strange Little Place: The Hauntings and Unexplained Events of One Small Town
