Summary

In this true story, a student at a boarding school in Scarborough, UK, finds herself drawn into a mystery lurking within the walls of an old house built in 1887. When a vivid dream introduces her to a lonely girl in an old-fashioned dress, the narrator dismisses it as just another odd dream—until strange noises and unexplained events in her dormitory begin to escalate.

As the narrator uncovers unsettling connections between the dream and her encounters, she starts to suspect that the ghost girl might be waiting for someone to save her. With flickering lights, an angry wind, and a hair-tugging encounter that sends chills down her spine, the narrator realizes that some spirits refuse to stay silent. This haunting tale leaves one lingering question: Will the girl ever find peace?

0:00.0	This is the podcast where the dark and creepy things we don't talk about discover a voice.
0:06.1	This is Into the Paranormal with Tony Bruske.
0:09.1	Old houses have a way of holding onto their secrets, don't they?
0:12.5	They sit quietly through the years, collecting memories, emotions, and if you believe the stories, maybe even a few restless souls.
0:23.4	Our story today takes us to an old boarding house in Scarborough, UK. Built in 1887, it had all the charm you'd expect from a
0:29.5	historic building, and maybe just a little more than one student bargained for. When our storyteller
0:35.5	first arrived, everything seemed perfectly normal, warm roommates, a cozy
0:39.8	bed, and the excitement of a new chapter in life. But soon enough, she began to realize that not
0:45.6	everyone in the house was on the student roster. It started with a dream about a girl with long brown
0:51.5	hair and a strange connection to the past.
0:57.4	But dreams have a way of lingering in places like these.

1:08.3	The story unfolds slowly with strange noises, flickering lights,
1:12.1	and a bathroom shower that seems to have a mind of its own.
1:18.4	And just when you think it's all in her imagination, she catches sight of a half-visible figure,
1:22.1	a young girl staring at her with a mixture of anger and sadness.
1:30.4	It's not the first time this ghostly presence has made herself known, and it probably won't be the last. So what happens when a spirit left behind in the echoes of an old war reaches out to the
1:38.2	living? And what do you do when the only message the ghost seems to send is this, don't forget me?
1:46.0	Well, get comfortable, folks. This is going to be a good one.
1:51.0	Dear Tony, that. This is a true story for my time at a boarding school in Scarborough, UK.
1:56.0	It's been years, but I still think about it, especially when I wonder what that girl wanted.
2:06.0	The house I stayed in was an old one built in 1887 on Filey Road.
