I have got some ghost stories for you.

I'm hearing these voices, but there's nobody else around.

I don't like the skeleton man.

He's so mean to me, and he bites me at night.

And suddenly this stool completely of its own volition slid a good two, maybe three feet out into the center of the bar.

He walks towards the ocean and he gets to the water.

He just disappeared.

I feel someone run their hand under my butt cheek, just sliding under my butt.

So that is my ghost story.

Hi and welcome to Haunted AF, the podcast of Real Ghost Stories, told by real people.

We are your host.

I'm Julie Fisk.

And I'm Rebecca Black.

Hello, and welcome to our first episode of 2026.

Woo!

So we are doing things a little differently, obviously, for the first time, because Rebecca and I are both working on new projects and we're both very, very busy right now. So we're trying to keep things as simple as humanly possible. And you guys don't seem to care if we phone it in a little bit. Just as long as we're sharing scary stories and as long as we don't scream too much, y'all hate that too. Yeah, they definitely hate the screams. And we do have lots of stories to share that you lovely people have sent us over the break. Quick reminder before we launch into those stories, Patreon page. It's only $5 a month to join and you get episodes early, lab free, and usually with a pregame. You can become a patron at patreon.com slash haunted a.F.

And speaking of which, big, big love to S.J. and Nicole Flora for joining. Also to Brittany Keyworth and Leslie Marr, who both became annual patrons. That's just $50 a year. So you actually do save a little bit of money. And it helps us stay afloat. So thank you very much, you guys. Okay. So before we start, we got to share this email from Chris and West Virginia because we are apparently haunting her. Chris says, I am a

long time listener, first time contributor because, well, y'all got me. I was listening to the

night of the living podcast episode while I was cooking. And as I turned to throw something away,

a voice whispered,

Hey, what are you doing? Huh. The windows were open, but there was no one outside and no one was there.

Besides, this was a whisper right in my ear. I decided to finish the episode later. But thanks for
