What if the ghost story you laughed at as a child turned out to be horrifyingly real?
This is the true story of a glowing maid from beyond the grave—seen walking through an attic door in a massive Victorian home built in 1900, nestled in a quiet riverside town in Iowa. For over 15 years, one woman’s sister claimed a ghostly maid lived in the attic, but everyone chalked it up to childish imagination… until one chilling night changed everything.
Now 8 months pregnant, our storyteller was spending the night with her grandmother, like she often did, enjoying wine and reruns of The Golden Girls. But when she woke at 2:35 AM, expecting her dog to need a bathroom break, she saw something impossible—a full-bodied glowing apparition of a maid, dressed in old-fashioned black and white, gliding out of the attic and dusting the room like it was still 1905.
She wasn’t dreaming. She pinched herself. Twice. The dogs didn’t move. Her grandmother didn’t stir. The ghost just kept… cleaning. When the TV turned on, the spirit vanished into the darkness. The next morning, one text to her sister confirmed it: the stories were real. The maid was real. And the house held secrets no one could explain.
Is it a residual haunting? A spirit stuck in a loop of eternal servitude? Or something darker hiding behind a harmless daily task?
Tune in to hear the full true ghost story as told on Real Ghost Stories Online—a terrifying tale of disbelief turned belief, silence broken by spectral footsteps, and a long-dead maid who still dusts in the dead of night.
