He Heard Crying at Green Lake… Then Learned the Dark Truth

Season 3 · Episode 29

Wednesday, August 27, 2025 • Duration 20:10

This week on Tell Me A Ghost Story, I’m sharing a new round of true ghost stories straight from your calls—real people, real voices, real hauntings.

Mark from Iowa admits he’s always been a skeptic, but that changed the night he and his friend saw a pale face pressed against the glass of a picture window.

Another caller takes us deep into the strange world of premonitions—those heavy, unshakable feelings of dread that somehow seem to line up with tragedy.

We’ll visit an abandoned church in Galway, Ireland, where a preacher once dropped dead mid-sermon, and hear the unsettling story of an “imaginary friend” that didn’t sound so imaginary after all. And then, in Seattle, Dan tells us about hearing phantom cries around Green Lake—the same lake where the real-life murder of Sylvia Gaines left a haunting that lingers to this day.

These are the kinds of stories I love sharing with you—haunting tales where folklore, history, and lived experience collide. If you’re drawn to paranormal podcasts that explore not just what happened, but why, you’re in the right place. So gather close, press play, and let’s step into the world of real ghost stories together.

Join us as we unravel true ghost stories from real people, featuring a captivating call from Brennan, who shares his unsettling encounters with the paranormal while living in the historic city of Victoria, BC.

Brennan’s journey into the world of ghostly tales begins with skepticism, but everything changes when he witnesses a shadowy figure lurking in his workplace. This spine-tingling experience is just the beginning, as he recounts a series of strange occurrences with shadow figures that leave him feeling profoundly uneasy and even depressed.

Then he shares an unlikely transformative experience involving an elderly Indigenous man named Dennis, who gives him a much-needed spiritual cleansing and challenges Brennan's understanding of reality and the paranormal.

Through Dennis’s guidance, Brennan learns that he has been afflicted by the 'wrong spirit,' leading to a powerful ritual that alters his perception of the world around him. This encounter not only sheds light on his haunting experiences but also opens a door to a deeper understanding of the spirits that may linger among us. As Brennan reflects on how these experiences have changed him, he reveals the ongoing presence of shadow figures in his life, making this episode a must-listen for anyone intrigued by haunted tales and eerie stories.
