  • Buttercream & Benevolent Spirits – 3 True Cozy Bakery Hauntings
    2025/07/09
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we whisk our way into three real bakeries where the scent of cinnamon lingers... and so do the ghosts. These aren’t stories of terror, but of quiet presence—of almond-sweet air before dawn, a music box lullaby in a sugar-dusted prep room, and birthday cakes lovingly corrected by invisible hands.

    🍞 First, in The Yeast That Rose Twice, we travel to Blackbird Bakery in Austin, Texas, where the ghost of a stern but devoted German baker may still be shaping loaves before the morning shift.

    🥐 Next, in Croissants from the Beyond, we slip into Maison de Miette in Savannah, Georgia, where staff swear they’re not alone during the 4 a.m. prep—especially when the almond scent arrives before the ovens are ever turned on.

    🎂 Finally, in The Birthday Cake Whisperer, we visit Molly’s Sweets & Treats in Salem, Massachusetts, where a young girl who died long ago seems determined to ensure no birthday goes forgotten—even if she has to rewrite the names herself.

    These stories draw from staff recollections, customer tales, and long-whispered local folklore—gently adapted into first-person narratives made for the cozy horror heart. Perfect for listeners who love creaky floorboards, rolling pins that move on their own, and ghosts who just want to help in the kitchen.

    🎙️ This episode is perfect for fans of:
    haunted bakeries & sweet-spirited ghosts
    cozy horror with a culinary twist
    paranormal folklore & historic kitchens
    early-morning prep stories with a side of mystery
    frosting, flour, and faint lullabies at 4 a.m.

  • Dust Jackets & Gentle Spirits – 3 True Cozy Bookshop Hauntings
    2025/07/02
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we crack open the covers of three of America’s most beloved—and sweet-spirited—independent bookstores. These aren’t tales of terror, but of memory: the faint scent of lavender between poetry shelves, a Beat-era novel nudged from its place, and a playful child ghost who still stacks picture books after closing time.

    📚 First, in The Lavender Lady of Bertram’s Books, we travel to Belfast, Maine, where a Victorian woman named Lavinia is said to curate the poetry section, leaving behind a trail of floral perfume and perfectly placed Keats.

    📖 Next, in Beat Ghosts and Paperbacks, we wander the labyrinthine aisles of Haslam’s Bookstore in St. Petersburg, Florida, where visitors swear Jack Kerouac still roams the Beat Generation shelves—occasionally tipping On the Road to the floor for an unsuspecting reader.

    👻 Finally, in The Boy in the Book Nook, we visit The Haunted Bookshop in Mobile, Alabama, where the giggle of a young boy, the clatter of wooden blocks, and mysteriously rearranged children’s books suggest story time is never really over. These accounts draw on documented reports, staff recollections, and long-held local lore—gently adapted into first-person tales for the cozy-horror heart. Perfect for listeners who love dusty stacks, flickering reading-lamps, and spirits who stay for the stories.

    🎙️ This episode is perfect for fans of:
    • haunted bookstores & gentle ghosts
    • cozy horror with literary charm
    • paranormal folklore & bookish legends
    • old buildings that smell like well-loved pages
    • lavender perfume, cold spots, and ghostly giggles

  • Candles, Cats, and the Scent of Ghosts – 3 True Cozy Candle Shop Hauntings
    2025/05/14
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we follow the soft flicker of candlelight into three charming—but undeniably haunted—candlemaker’s shops across America. These stories aren’t about jump scares or poltergeists, but the quiet kind of haunting: the scent of lavender where there should be none, a cat that only some people can see, and a candle flame that burns without heat.

    🕯️ First, in The Haunted Flame, we visit Colonial Williamsburg, where a young woman named Eliza may still be hand-dipping candles in the afterlife—leaving behind the scent of beeswax and a perfectly even wick.

    🕯️ Next, in Maggie’s Wicks, we head to Salem, Massachusetts, where a turn-of-the-century folk practitioner seems to be helping modern shopkeepers pour love spells—one drawer, one ghost cat, and one mysterious journal entry at a time.

    🕯️ Finally, in The Flamekeeper’s Cottage, a snowstorm leads a lost traveler to a warm candle shop in New Hope, Pennsylvania—only to discover that the shop shouldn’t be open... and the cat by the fire might not be alive. These stories are based on real reports, legends, and local lore—gently adapted for the cozy horror heart. Perfect for listeners who love charming ghost stories, misty winter nights, and haunted shops filled with warmth.

    🎙️ This episode is perfect for fans of:
    • gentle ghost stories
    • haunted history with a heart
    • cozy horror fiction
    • folklore and candle magic
    • cats that aren’t quite cats
