Real Ghost Stories from the Edge of Sleep

Hosted by Michelle Newman | Tell Me A Ghost Story Podcast

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.
