Every house is haunted. In each episode of Family Ghosts, we investigate the true story behind a mysterious figure whose legend has followed a family for generations. Grandmothers who were secretly jewel smugglers, uncles who led double lives, siblings who vanished without a trace, and other ghostly characters who cast shadows over our lives in ways that might not be immediately obvious. We are all formed in part by our familial collections of secrets, intrigues, and myths. By engaging with each others’ legends, perhaps we can see each others’ realities more clearly. Hosted by Moth Grand Slam winner Sam Dingman, whose stories have been featured on NPR, Risk!, TBTL, and The Moth Radio Hour.

I thought my friend was sharing a ghost haunting story. But it’s more like skeletons in the closet type story. I’ve only listened to S1/Episode 1. I really liked it & now want to research more of my family history, as my Mom told me about a Paternal grandfather on her maternal side. Plus the story of another female ancestor that married & remarried having quite a number of kids. I like how he records his family in interviews.
