Hey, strangers, there's a new podcast that we think you'll like. It's called Ghost Story.

Journalist Tristan Redman is going where no son-in-law should ever go, deep into his wife's family

history, digging up the cold case of his wife's great-grandmother's homicide, and asking questions

no one in the family once answered. But things are complicated,

because he's looking into whether the murder was committed by his wife's great-grandfather,

the beloved family patriarch. And this all started with a ghost. That's right, a ghost. Growing up,

weird things would happen in Tristan's bedroom, objects moving around with no explanation, lights switching themselves on and off.

But ultimately, he shrugged all this off. Until a couple of years ago, when he discovered

that every subsequent occupant of his old room

was convinced they'd experienced inexplicable things in there, too. And how does this all

tie together? Tristan grew up next door to his wife's great-grandparents' home. From Wondery and

Pineapple Street Studios comes Ghost Story, a podcast about family

secrets, overwhelming coincidence, and the things that come back to haunt us. I'm about to play a

clip from Ghost Story. Follow Ghost Story on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

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

ever said we would contribute to it.

But before we get into any of that, let's start at the beginning with the thing that set all of this in motion.
