Real ghost stories from real people. This is Into the Paranormal with Tony Bruske.

Some stories stay with you long after you hear them, chilling you to the bone with their quiet, unrelenting terror.

It wasn't the kind of place you'd expect to harbor dark secrets, but from the moment I began

staying home alone after school, I sensed that I wasn't entirely alone.

My routine was the same every day. I'd come through

the front door, toss my bag onto the couch, and make a bee-line for the kitchen. That's where I built.
