This week on Tell Me a Ghost Story, we’re diving deep into another collection of true ghost stories from real people who’ve experienced the unexplainable firsthand. These chilling tales explore encounters with spirits, eerie legends, and paranormal moments that will leave you wondering what exists beyond the veil.

👻 The Legend of Bloody Mary:
Cindy Ketron shares a terrifying real-life brush with the infamous Bloody Mary—a name known across the world as a dark legend whispered at slumber parties and feared in mirror rituals. But for Cindy, this wasn't just a spooky story. What began as a dare quickly unraveled into a moment of pure dread as she stood face-to-face with something—or someone—that shouldn’t have been there. Was it the power of suggestion, or did she truly summon a restless spirit through the glass?

🛕 Ghosts of Cambodia:
Rax (@bigfoodie69 on Instagram) brings us a deeply unsettling paranormal tale from a trip abroad. While visiting Cambodia, he encountered more than just ancient temples and bustling cities—he came into contact with something ghostly. Haunted by apparitions and an unshakable sense of being watched, Rax’s experience raises questions about how spirits and cultural memory intertwine in places marked by historical trauma. This international ghost story is both haunting and unforgettable.

🏊‍♂️ The Pool Boy:
Jennifer tells us about a quiet but chilling encounter involving the ghost of a teenage boy at a pool. What starts as an ordinary afternoon takes a strange turn when she begins to feel a presence that doesn’t belong. From unexplained water disturbances to the sense that she wasn’t alone, her story taps into that classic ghost story feeling—subtle, eerie, and emotionally resonant.

Whether you're drawn to urban legends, haunted travels, or spectral encounters in everyday spaces, this week’s episode is full of paranormal phenomena that will send a chill down your spine. Tune in for true ghost stories told directly by the people who lived them.

Because some spooky stories… are real. 👁️‍🗨️
