Show notes
Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's six calls include an inherited ashtray that filled itself with ash in an empty locked house, a door that slammed shut on its own at 2:40 in the morning, a hospice patient who said thank you after time of death was already recorded, a kindergartner talking to a woman his mother can't see, a famous actor multiple people swear carries something dark, and a tall thin man who kept checking to see if someone was really asleep.
Anna from Tacoma, Washington calls in about a heavy glass ashtray inherited from her late aunt, found spotless in a cupboard and left sitting on the dining table while she gardened outside for an hour. When she came back inside, the previously clean ashtray was filled with a heap of cigarette ash, no butts, just ash, with a faint stale smoke smell in the air, despite every door, window, and the basement being fully locked and undisturbed.
Marshall from St. Cloud, Florida calls in shaken after his bedroom door slammed shut on its own at 2:40 in the morning while heading back to bed, describing an unmistakable cold in the room and lingering goosebumps he still felt while telling the story live.
Donnie, a hospice nurse from New Mexico, calls in about a patient whose time of death he'd just finished recording, only to hear a clear "thank you" in the patient's own voice, followed by a cold breeze from a nearby window, in what should have been an empty room.
Julia calls in wondering if other parents have experienced something similar with their kids, after her kindergartner described nightly conversations with a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothing who smiles but never moves, and who reportedly told him not to tell his mother about her.
Jimmy, who worked in Hollywood, calls in about a famous actor he won't name, someone multiple people on set independently describe as bringing a palpable, mood-killing darkness into any room he enters, alongside rumors tied to his rapid rise to fame and a string of personal tragedies that followed.
And Christina from Phoenix, Arizona returns with a story from a podiatry office where she repeatedly glimpsed a man standing at the end of a hallway from the corner of her eye, who vanished each time she looked directly. The activity escalated during a lunchtime nap, when she woke to find a tall, thin man in basketball shorts crouched at her feet, apparently checking whether she was awake, gone the instant she jumped up. A coworker who'd seen something in that same office has refused, to this day, to describe what it was.
Six real callers. Six true ghost stories.
