Show notes
Hey, it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a story confirmed by a childhood friend decades later, a nun no one else could see, a coffee pot that shook on its own in front of a room full of witnesses, and a monster named Herbert who still shows up at a retirement home.
Noah Daniels, host of Real Hauntings Real Ghost Stories from Atlanta, Georgia calls in with two ghost stories thirty years apart. The first happened during a game of hide and seek at age eleven, when he tried to tag a "cheating" playmate darting across a dark room, and his hand went straight through it, a small figure with red reflective eyes that turned to look at him before everyone screamed and ran. Decades later, he mentioned the memory to that same friend, who finished the sentence for him before he could. The second happened thirty years later in a Las Vegas hotel room on Halloween night, when Noah woke at 3 AM to find a grayscale little boy in early 1900s dress staring at him, then a second look revealed the boy's father beside him, hand on his son's shoulder, both watching in complete silence. Noah now hosts his own show, Real Hauntings Real Ghost Stories (check out his episode “Ghost in My Bed” featuring Michelle).
Michael from Watertown, Massachusetts calls in about seeing a woman in a full blue nun's habit at his mechanic shop, confirmed by nobody else in the building despite there being no way she could have passed unseen. Months later, home and jobless, he experienced flickering lights and waking messages that escalated into what he describes as a genuine spiritual confrontation, one he says ended only after he prayed and experienced a vision of Jesus Christ that expelled the darkness entirely.
Christina from Phoenix, Arizona calls in with a series of encounters from an apartment beside a cemetery, starting with a solid, fully visible eight-year-old girl in gray clothing standing in her dining room in the middle of the night, one she made direct eye contact with before the girl turned and vanished through a solid wall. What followed included children's laughter heard by both her and her husband simultaneously, a child seen running down the hallway, nightly footsteps on a roof with no access above their top-floor unit, confirmed by a guest who asked why someone was up there, and a coffee pot that began shaking violently on the counter in front of a room full of friends, untouched.
Reid from Colorado Springs calls in about a childhood shadow figure so large its head brushed the ceiling, one that appeared repeatedly in his childhood bathroom doorway before eventually following him to a new home entirely, where it peeked around a corner, entered his room, and dissolved like fog.
And Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana closes the episode with a story about her brother Brian's childhood closet monster, an invisible presence named Herbert (though the rough audio makes it sound like "Pervert") who has followed him for decades and, according to Cindy, is now known to the nursing staff at his retirement home for occasionally tearing up the room at night.
