Summary

Tristan Redman is a journalist who doesn’t believe in ghosts. But weird things happened in his teenage bedroom – weirder than normal. When, years later, he discovers subsequent occupants of his family home were haunted by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. Because by a strange coincidence, it just so happens that the house Tristan grew up in is right next door to a murder scene - where his wife’s great grandmother was killed by two gunshots to the face. Could there be a connection? Tristan decides to investigate and soon finds himself where no son-in-law should ever be: delving deep into his wife’s family history, asking questions no one wants answered. Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios present GhostStory — a seven-part podcast series about family secrets, overwhelming coincidences and the things that come back to haunt us.

off.

of the top floor of that house is convinced they've experienced something inexplicable

too.

I want to tell you a story.

0:55.2

Well, it's really three stories all wrapped around each other.

0:59.3

It's a ghost story, it's a murder mystery, and it's a family drama.

1:04.2

By which I mean, it's about my wife's family, her family's history, and there's a chance

they'll disown me for doing this.

1:13.6

If you come out with a piece that says it was a murderer, then I will be sorry that we

1:19.1

ever said we would contribute to it.

1:28.6

But before we get into any of that, let's start at the beginning, with the thing that
