Hey it's Michelle, A Civil War battlefield in Pennsylvania. A sidewalk in Orange County at night. A grandmother who came back to say she was not finished. A spirit that followed someone home from Oahu. And a ghost in New Zealand who had opinions about being asked to leave.

This is another classic season 2 compilation episode, bringing together five of the most unforgettable true ghost stories from earlier in the series and from all around the world. And for the first time, this episode is now available as a full video on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can finally watch as well as listen.

Paige from Los Angeles calls in with a true ghost story from her middle school field trip to Gettysburg, one of the most extensively documented paranormal locations in the United States. In three days in July 1863, more than fifty thousand soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing on that ground. Paige was there to learn about Civil War history. What she encountered on that battlefield went significantly beyond the curriculum, and what she brought home with her afterward made clear that something on that ground had decided to come along.

Roc from Orange County returns with another call. If you have followed Roc's story across the early episodes, you already know about the man shot outside his grandparents' motel, the spirit at the bedroom window at 3 AM, and the phantom phone calls from a disconnected booth. This time, Roc was outside in the middle of the night when he saw a woman crying on the sidewalk. He went toward her because that is what you do. What happened when he got close enough to see her properly is what he called in to tell us about. The question is exactly the right one. What would you do if you saw a woman crying on the sidewalk in the middle of the night?

Dave from Sioux Falls returns with a true ghost story about his grandmother Nonna, whose love apparently did not end when she died. Dave's connection to her was deep enough that when she passed, something of her stayed behind, making itself known in the specific and personal ways that only someone who knew him well could have managed. Nonna's story is one of those true ghost encounters that does not frighten so much as it stays with you because it is fundamentally about love that refuses to recognize the boundary between the living and the dead.

Chelsi from Los Angeles calls in with a haunted house story with an extra layer of difficulty built into it. The house belonged to her mother. The vibes were profoundly off from the moment Chelsi set foot in it. Something was not right and she felt it clearly and consistently every time she was there. Her mother did not feel it. Or did not want to.

Jasmine from Portland calls in with a ghost story from a stay in New Zealand, where the property had an elderly ghost who had decided the space was hers. Jasmine did not accept that arrangement. What she did about it is the heart of this episode, and the consequences of asking a ghost to leave when the ghost has been there considerably longer than you have are something Jasmine describes with the kind of pragmatic directness that makes her call one of the most memorable in the early archive. Some ghosts do not leave quietly.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this week we have three real callers. Three true ghost stories from a morgue in Texas, a kitchen in Minnesota, and a frozen basement in Southern Ontario. This episode is also available as video on Spotify or Youtube.

Larissa from Texas calls in with a true ghost story from her time working as an investigator at a medical examiner's office. Late nights, intakes, autopsies, and a presence she named Frank. Frank has a pocket watch. He wears dress shoes. He walks the hallway with the unhurried energy of someone who has been at that threshold for a long time and sees no reason to cross it. When Larissa told him probably not tonight sir he left. When her coworker heard the pocket watch open right next to his desk instead of down the hallway where Frank usually roams, the coworker clocked out immediately and went home. Medical examiner offices are among the most consistently reported paranormal workplaces in documented research, threshold spaces where some presences simply choose to linger. Frank is one of those presences. He has a pocket watch and he is in no hurry.

Anne from St Paul, Minnesota calls in with a true ghost story from her work as a residential cleaner. Left alone in a client's home she was scrubbing cabinets hard when she heard it clearly. Thank you. Nobody else was in the house. The client's cat is in dialysis and not doing well and the space carried the specific weight of someone watching a beloved animal decline. Something in that house was paying attention to Anne working in it, and what it felt was gratitude. Not get out. Not help me. Thank you. In a show full of frightening encounters Anne's call stands out because the presence she encountered was not trying to scare her. It was trying to say something kind.

Gary D from Southern Ontario calls in with a true ghost story that begins with two teenagers falling through ice at midnight in well below zero temperatures and nearly dying, and somehow gets stranger from there. He and his friend John broke into an abandoned pavilion from the 1920s to survive the cold, wrapping themselves in burlap sacks in the basement while their hair froze solid. And then from above them they heard it. Big band music. Dozens of voices laughing and talking. Clinking glasses. Someone at a microphone working a crowd. Dancing. The full sound of a packed New Year's Eve celebration directly above them on a dance floor that when they climbed up to check had a heavy layer of undisturbed filth and snow lying across it. No people. No band. No footprints. Nothing. The music started twice and stopped twice like a switch being flipped. Gary raises the hypothermia explanation himself and it deserves consideration. But hypothermia does not produce identical shared hallucinations between two people who can confirm each other's perceptions in real time. Residual haunting, the specific paranormal category where a space replays its most emotionally concentrated memories like a recording, fits what Gary and John heard far better than any neurological explanation. The pavilion absorbed decades of New Year's Eve celebrations, and on the night two frozen teenagers sat in its basement, it played one back. They also found a large pile of long, brown, curly human hair between the barrels with no explanation. Gary does not know what that was. Neither do I.

Hey, it's Michelle, and this one is special. This is our first-ever compilation episode, bringing together eight of the most unforgettable true ghost stories from our first season callers in one place. And for the first time, this episode is now available as a full video on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can finally watch as well as listen. If you are new to Tell Me A Ghost Story, this is the perfect place to start. If you have been listening from the beginning, welcome back to the stories that started it all.

Eight real callers. Eight true paranormal encounters. Here is what is waiting for you.

Carlos from Los Angeles introduces us to Daisy, his ghost roommate. Daisy is not threatening. She is not hostile. She gives Carlos advice and seems to have opinions about how he is living his life. Carlos has learned to listen to her, and honestly, after hearing his call, I understand why.

Heather from Mesa, Arizona, takes us to the Grand Hotel in Jerome, one of the most documented haunted hotels in the American Southwest. Jerome was a copper mining town built on violence and sudden death, and the Grand Hotel has been absorbing that history for over a century. Heather was in her room when a voice told her to turn down the TV. There was no TV on.

Greg from Echo Park in Los Angeles calls in with a Lady in White encounter from his childhood, a ghostly figure rooted in one of the oldest and most widely documented supernatural archetypes in Western paranormal history. Greg's encounter with her is as personal and unsettling as any we have received.

Yvonne from the Philippines returns with her dark figure story, the shadowy presence that chased her up the stairs at her aunt's house. If this is your first time hearing Yvonne's calls, there are more of them in the archive, and every single one is worth finding.

Hector from New Mexico details a series of paranormal events that keep happening at 3:33 AM, the hour that appears in supernatural accounts across cultures and centuries, with a consistency that researchers find impossible to attribute to coincidence. Hector has the scratches to prove it.

Deborah from Seattle takes us back to the séance at Fort Wright College with the theater students who were not entirely prepared for what answered back. Eerie sounds. Unexpected responses. A room full of people who went in curious and came out changed.

Nellie from Illinois shares her experience with the little ghost girl who appeared in her childhood home. If you have been following Nellie's calls across the early episodes, you already know her house revealed itself one room at a time. The little girl was one of the first signs that something was there.

And finally Dave from Sioux Falls calls in with a babysitting story that starts as an ordinary job and ends somewhere considerably more unsettling. Dave has called in before with paranormal encounters that stay with you, and this one is no exception.

Eight true ghost stories. One compilation episode. This is where Tell Me A Ghost Story found its voice.
