True Ghost Stories: A Translucent Woman at the Movies, a Haunted Hotel Bed, and a Voice in the Dark

<p>Hey, it&#39;s Michelle, and this week&#39;s four calls span a movie theater in 1978, a hotel in Santa Barbara, a psychiatric hospital basement, and a farm in Indiana where something was killing deer. This episode is available as a video on Spotify and YouTube.</p><p>David calls in with a true ghost story from 1978, when he went to see Sergeant Pepper&#39;s Lonely Hearts Club Band at a nearly empty theater in Gainesville, Florida.

Jules got a photo before they ran out. If this is your first time hearing from Jules, she has called in before about a man who walked through a solid wall at a hostel in Vancouver and a ghost child who followed her through a Brooklyn apartment. </p><p>Article: <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/Santa-Barbara-is-most-haunted-city-in-California-16545716.php" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">&quot;I went looking for a haunted hotel in Santa Barbara.

Fresh out of high school, he took a job in the basement archive of an old psychiatric hospital, transferring decades of patient records into digital files, completely alone in a cobblestone basement with flickering lights and dark corners. The chain rattling started within the first few weeks. Then a voice from the darkest corner said, &quot;Help me&quot; while he was reading the file of a patient with a documente
