Real ghost stories from real people.

This is Into the Paranormal with Tony Bruske.

There are places in this world that seem to hold on to the energy of those who came before us.

Homes where the air feels heavier, shadows linger just a bit too long,

I bought it from my brother Robert and his wife, who had been renting it out after moving out of state.

Robert's wife couldn't stand to live there anymore.

Her first husband, Paul, had died in that house, in the master bedroom, to be exact.
