Homespun Haints: True Ghost Stories

Homespun Haints: True Ghost Stories

True ghost stories are scarier (and funnier) when you hear them from the real people who experienced them. We’re Becky and Diana, and we interview people who have seen ghosts--so you can feel their fear with them. Each episode features true, personal stories of ghosts, demons, haints, hauntings, haunted houses, and paranormal experiences, sprinkled with humorous conversations about the random strange events in our own haunted lives.

The ghosts in the South are different from other ghosts. They’re just a little bit closer to the living, just a little more noticeable, and just a little more up in your business.

The cameras are rolling, and the medium on the television screen begins to speak. The things she hears, sees, and knows, they can’t possibly be real, right? Surely, it’s all TV magic. A plant in the audience, a little tip ahead of time, right?

But the man producing the show knows better. He knows that the medium is the real thing. She’s gifted in ways that defy logic; her magic is larger than what the camera can capture.
