    The Uninvited | Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

    Too Hot for the Living | Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

    It's been so hot lately that we're starting to wonder if someone left the gates of Hell open. Then we dusted off a few tales from the Castle of Spirits archives... and suddenly the heat wasn't the most unsettling thing keeping us up at night. Story #1: Child Voices (submitted by Anonymous, Michigan, USA) — A late-night trip to the bathroom is interrupted by the hushed voices of unseen children. Story #2: The Third Floor (submitted by Kryssie, PA, USA) — A former monastery turned Bible college becomes the setting for phantom footsteps, a piano with no player, and a bloodied figure that vanishes without a trace. Story #3: Books (submitted by Anonymous, USA) — A family's bargain apartment seems almost too good to be true—until a mysterious little girl in a red dress makes them think twice about sticking around. Story #4: Corpse Eyes (submitted by Mike, Kanagawa, Japan) — A quiet walk along Tokyo Bay leads to an encounter with a mysterious woman whose lifeless gaze still haunts a former military policeman decades later. So crank the A/C, grab an ice cream cone (or a bucket of ice), and join us as we try to beat the heat the only way we know how—with four true ghost stories cold enough to send a shiver down your spine.

    Home Sweet Haunted Home | Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

    We're baaaack! After disappearing for a few months while moving into our new home (don't worry, we escaped with all our boxes... and, as far as we know, without any unwanted supernatural roommates), we thought it was only fitting to return with an episode dedicated to houses that came with a little more than curb appeal. Fairplain's House (submitted by Jennifer, NC, USA) — A young family's dream home slowly reveals a terrifying secret as strange visitors begin making themselves at home. My New Home (submitted by Lauren, Saskatchewan, Canada) — A woman suspects the home's previous owner never really left—and may still be hosting quiet evening gatherings. Weird Little House (submitted by Rebecca, OR, USA) — A couple's fresh start is interrupted by flickering lights, restless shadows, and a front door with a mind of its own. Whispering Corridors (submitted by Anonymous, TN, USA) — A lonely hallway filled with phantom voices leaves one child wondering what was waiting in the darkness. So grab your favorite moving box, check the closets one last time, and remember... just because the previous owners handed over the keys doesn't necessarily mean they gave up possession.
