The

The Hello and welcome to mini episode number 500 of real life ghost stories.

How have we done 500 mini episodes?

That is absurd.

That doesn't even include 30 days of terror, 12 days of Christmas, etc, etc.

That is just 500 standalone mini episodes. Thank you so much for always sending in your stories

and your experiences and your thoughts. I really, really appreciate it.

And it is what makes the show over the last six years

or however long this show has been going.

We have read out literally thousands of listener experiences.

And thank you so much for being so generous

with your experiences and sending them in

because not only do they provide entertainment

but they also provide comfort so thank you

I have three listener stories for you today

and the last story comes from the 14th of November 2025

and story number one comes from Alison

this isn't much of a tale

nothing dramatic happens at least not to me.

I've sent you other stories and always held off from sending this one because it's so

thin, but it still lingers for me. When I was about 16, yeesh, that is, 30 years ago,

way to make myself feel old, I had to quit college where I was studying A-levels and find work.
