For Love of the Ghost Story, part 1

Series: Radio Waves
From: Andrew Parsons
Length: 00:33:59

Stories of people who claim to have had encounters with ghosts, some history of ghosts and ghost pop culture, and skeptical interpretations from a real ghost hunter. Read the full description.

Ghoststories_small Krismin hears scratching at night, footsteps on her roof and breathing right next to her. Sarah sees a young girl dash around a corner into a wall. Tom finds doors to the mansion that he guards randomly open or closed and the bowling alley being used in the middle of the night.

Ghsot stories are a part of American life and love the unknown and this two part series doesn't claim to prove or disprove any experiences, but rather celebrates the ghost story and ghost pop culture in America.
