  • Haunting Dreams: Real Ghost Stories and Shadow Men (Encore)
    Dec 17 2025
    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. 👻

  • The Woman in the Red Dress Sat Down at the Diner… Then Vanished (Encore)
    Dec 10 2025
    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?

  • Real Ghost Stories for Stormy Afternoons
    Nov 26 2025
    Throughout this episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I weave together these listener-submitted ghost stories through haunting phone calls, exploring themes of persistent hauntings, mysterious encounters, and the supernatural bonds that endure beyond death. From a mortuary-turned-apartment in Michigan to legendary roadside spirits in New York to Hollywood's most loyal ghost dog, these real ghost stories showcase the diverse and deeply personal nature of paranormal experiences.True ghost stories from real people featured in this episode:1. Tony from Ypsilanti, Michigan -- The Victorian Mortuary Turned Apartment I'm taking you to Ypsilanti, Michigan, in the early 1990s, where Tony and his girlfriend experienced relentless paranormal activity in a Victorian home that once served as a mortuary. Imagine living in a haunted house where bread mysteriously moves between cabinets, showers turn on by themselves, and invisible footsteps fill empty rooms. Tony shares chilling details about beds shaking, the overwhelming scent of lilacs in winter, and the night he and his girlfriend fled to a hotel after hearing what sounded like ten people walking through their apartment—when no one else was home. They discovered a trap door system that once functioned as an elevator from the basement to the top floor, and their camcorder mysteriously shut off during recording attempts. The most unsettling part? When Tony returned ten years later, new tenants reported experiencing the same supernatural encounters.2. Angela from Upstate New York -- The Woman in White on Route 9 Angela shares a terrifying encounter on Route 9 at 2 AM that still haunts her three years later. Driving home in complete darkness, she encountered a woman in a long white dress standing motionless in the middle of the road. As Angela tried to help, a man emerged from the trees and began approaching her car. The woman's face was wrong, her mouth too large, her eyes like black holes. Angela fled the scene and called the police, who found nothing but revealed she wasn't the first person to report seeing a woman in white on that stretch of road. This chilling real ghost story explores the terrifying question: was it a supernatural encounter with a legendary ghost, or criminals using local folklore to prey on travelers? 3. Tessa from Los Angeles, California -- Kabar: The Ghost Dog Still Waiting Tessa recounts a deeply moving supernatural encounter at the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery in Calabasas, where Rudolph Valentino's beloved Doberman, Kabar, is buried. After learning the heartbreaking story of a dog who died of grief in 1929 waiting for his famous owner to return, Tessa knelt by the grave and called Kabar's name. What happened next defies explanation. She felt a cold, wet sensation on her hand, exactly like a dog's affectionate nuzzle and lick. Her hand was visibly damp with no logical source, and she heard a happy whine in response to her praise. This touching true ghost story explores the enduring loyalty of animals and spirits that transcend death. Dozens of visitors have reported identical experiences at Kabar's grave, suggesting this good boy has been faithfully waiting for almost a century. Whether you're drawn to haunted house stories, eerie roadside encounters, or touching tales of animal spirits, this episode delivers authentic supernatural storytelling perfect for spooky season, Halloween, or any night you crave genuine, real-life ghost stories and paranormal encounters. These aren't just creepy tales; they're true paranormal stories from real people experiencing the unexplained. Join me as I explore hauntings that span decades, spirits that wait eternally, and the unsettling question of what's real and what's legend.📞 Have a real ghost story or spooky tale to share?Call 1 (701) 484-2666 or visit tellmeaghoststory.com to share your own ghostly experience.👻 Support the show with official merch at newmanmedia.shop🎥 Join us on YouTube @tellmeaghoststory📸 Follow us on Instagram @tellmeaghoststorypodcast Credits:🎵Theme Music: "Sexy Sax" by Cool Cascade.🚀Production: Newman Media

  • He Heard Crying at Green Lake… Then Learned the Dark Truth (Encore)
    Nov 19 2025
    In this encore of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I’m sharing a 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.

  • After Death Experiences and Electronic Hauntings: Real Ghost Stories of the Unexplained
    Nov 12 2025
    Throughout this episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I weave together these listener-submitted ghost stories through haunting phone calls, exploring themes of what follows us back from death, objects with malevolent intentions, spirits attached to locations, and entities that watch from impossible places. From near-death consequences in Colorado to possessed clowns to protective Civil War battlefields, these true ghost stories showcase the disturbing variety of paranormal experiences that people encounter.True ghost stories from real people featured in this episode:1. Tyler from Colorado -- The Voice That Came Back From Drowning Tyler shares a deeply unsettling paranormal experience that began after his kayaking accident left him clinically dead for three minutes. Since being revived, he's been experiencing disturbing phenomena, but here's what makes this truly terrifying: other people are experiencing it too. His roommate heard Tyler's voice calling from an empty bedroom while Tyler sat right beside him. His girlfriend heard it coming from his car while he stood next to her. His own father heard it from the basement. Most chilling of all, Tyler himself has heard his own voice calling to him from empty rooms. He also sees patches of "glitching air" that look like TV static, and his friend Marissa witnessed one materialize at a coffee shop. This haunting true paranormal story explores what happens when you come back from death, and what might come back with you. A deeply disturbing real ghost story about near-death experiences and their supernatural consequences.2. Emma -- The Life-Sized Clown That Wouldn't Stay Gone Emma recounts a childhood nightmare involving a life-sized knitted clown her cousins purchased from a thrift store. The clown would move on its own, appearing in different rooms despite being locked away. When they finally locked it in outdoor dog kennels, it was found inside the house the next morning, sitting on the couch. But the most terrifying moment came when Emma, her sister, and their cousins saw the clown running, like a human, through tall grass 50 meters away before vanishing completely. When they checked, it was no longer on their uncle's truck, where he'd placed it for disposal. The clown was never seen again, but the mystery remains: where did it go, and what caused it to move? A chilling true ghost story about possessed objects and supernatural encounters that defy explanation.3. Carlos from San Antonio, Texas -- Danny Still Works the Night Shift Carlos shares his brief but terrifying experience working the night shift at a 24-hour diner off I-10. On his first day, his manager showed him a memorial shrine for Danny, a beloved cook who died of a heart attack in 2015, and casually warned him, "You'll see him sometimes. Just acknowledge him." Carlos thought it was a joke until his second week, when he encountered a figure in a cook's uniform blocking the walk-in freezer doorway at 3 AM. The figure's face was blurred, like it had been smudged out of a photograph. Following his manager's advice, Carlos said hello to Danny, and the apparition stepped aside to let him pass. Other employees treated these encounters as completely normal, but after three weeks of paranormal activity, Carlos quit. A real-life ghost story about workplace hauntings and spirits who never clock out.4. Jenna from Boise, Idaho -- The Red Eyes Outside Her Third-Floor Window Jenna describes a two-month nightmare involving two red eyes that appear outside her third-floor apartment window every night around 11:30 PM. Despite being three stories up with no balcony, fire escape, or ledge, just a sheer drop to the parking lot, these glowing red eyes hover and stare through her window with malevolent intent. Her boyfriend witnessed them too, and shockingly, her neighbor on the second floor has been seeing the same red eyes outside her window for months. The eyes don't appear on camera, but they're visible to the naked eye. Most disturbing, they're getting closer—now pressing right up against the glass with light tapping sounds. Jenna has started sleeping in her living room and plans to break her lease. She discovered the previous tenant had fled suddenly in the middle of the night. This terrifying supernatural story explores malevolent entities that watch, wait, and won't leave.5. Marcus from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- The Battlefield That Refuses to Be Photographed Marcus, a professional photographer, recounts his eerie experience at Triangular Field near Devil's Den in Gettysburg. While attempting to photograph the Civil War battlefield at golden hour, all of his high-end camera equipment simultaneously stopped working, multiple cameras, backup batteries, and even his phone. The moment he stepped away from the field, everything powered back on perfectly. Later research revealed dozens of similar reports: cameras malfunction at Triangular Field, photos come out blank or washed out, and visitors feel watched by ...

  • Our Boogeyman Turned Out to Be.... a Real Serial Killer
    Oct 29 2025
    Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost Story In this chilling episode of Tell Me A Ghost Story, I'm sharing true paranormal stories from real phone calls, modern ghost stories about demon lambs, forest guardians, hurricane warnings, urban legends turned real, and unsolved disappearances. These are real ghost encounters told by the voices who lived them.🐑 John from Little Rock shares an uncanny childhood encounter with something he calls "demon lambs" on Spar Hill. At 11 years old, exploring a rural hill known for supernatural activity and will-o'-the-wisps, he lost track of time and found himself followed by lamb-like creatures with bright red eyes and snapping teeth. What started as one became three, closing in until he tumbled down the hillside to escape. This eerie story raises the question: what lurks in remote places where swamp gas and fireballs appear? A true ghost story about creatures that don't belong in our world.🔥 Jake, a fire lookout from Missoula, Montana, tells a haunting story from the Bitterroot National Forest. Working alone in an observation tower at 7,000 feet, he spotted a mysterious white light moving through the woods at 2 AM. Following it, he encountered a woman in a clearing surrounded by soft light, a ghost who led him deeper into the wilderness, fading as they walked until she brought him to a burned-out cabin where her family died in a 2008 wildfire. Her whispered "thank you" on the wind suggests she'd been waiting years for someone to remember them. This real paranormal story is a reminder that some spirits just need to be witnessed.🌊 Brenda from Charleston shares her encounter with the Grey Man of Pawleys Island before Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Standing on her deck as the hurricane approached, she saw a man in all grey walking the beach, the legendary Grey Man who had appeared before major hurricanes since 1822. The overwhelming sense of dread made her evacuate immediately. Hurricane Matthew destroyed her entire neighborhood, wiping her house off its foundation, but she and her neighbors survived because they heeded the Grey Man's warning. This supernatural story blurs the line between folklore and life-saving intervention.👤 Mark from Brooklyn tells the true crime story of Cropsey, Staten Island's boogeyman, who turned out to be real. The legend described an escaped mental patient with a hook hand living in tunnels under the abandoned Willowbrook State School. But when children actually started disappearing in the '70s and '80s, police arrested Andre Rand—a former Willowbrook janitor who was abducting children and living in the woods around the property. Mark and his friend encountered a man watching them from the trees weeks before Rand's arrest, and he still doesn't know if it was the real killer. This ghost story became a real paranormal nightmare when folklore and true crime merged into one terrifying reality.Each phone call in this paranormal podcast captures real ghost encounters, ghosts and hauntings, and true ghost stories that connect us through the unexplainable. Whether it's demonic creatures, protective spirits, legendary warnings, or unsolved disappearances, these real paranormal stories remind us that the line between folklore and reality is thinner than we think.Perfect for Halloween listening, spooky season, or anytime you want haunted stories and supernatural encounters told through authentic phone calls. If you love telling ghost stories, real-life ghost stories, or paranormal stories from ordinary people experiencing something uncanny, this episode delivers eerie stories that will stay with you.Call in your own ghost story, paranormal encounter, or haunting experience.
