True Ghost Stories for Dark Summer Nights: A Smelly Ghost, Shadow People, the Hat Man, and a Ghost Who Yelled, "Run!"

<p>Hey, it&#39;s Michelle, and this week we have a classic season three episode bringing together six true ghost stories from our callers to celebrate the dark nights of Summer-ween. Now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube for the first time.</p><p>Sophie from Los Angeles calls in with a true ghost story about the house her family bought when she was young. Her little brother refused to go into one room from the moment they arrived and kept telling their mother that the man in the chair smelled. The family assumed imaginary friend until they discovered a man named Sal had died in that exact room.
