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 say they have been visited by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. It just so happens that the house Tristan grew up in is right next door to the house where his wife’s great grandmother, Naomi Dancy, was murdered – 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 Ghost Story — a seven-part podcast series about family secrets, overwhelming coincidence, and the things that come back to haunt us.

0:46.0	I want to tell you a story. Well it's really three stories all wrapped around each other.
0:58.0	It's a ghost story. It's a murder mystery and it's a family drama.
1:04.0	By which I mean it's about my wife's family, her family's history,
1:08.0	and there's a chance they'll disown me for doing this.
1:12.0	If you come out with a piece that says he was a murderer,
1:16.0	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 a thing that set all of this in motion.
1:37.0	When I was 16 back in the 90s, my family moved to an old Victorian house in London on a street called Queen's
1:46.4	Road.
1:48.3	I slept in a bedroom tucked into the creaky top floor and weird things would happen up there.
