    The Haunted Music Store

    In this episode of The Ghost Collector, a haunted music store may have sent something home with a guitar player, leaving behind strange lights, unexplained movement, and a lingering presence tied to an old downtown building. Then, in a Lost Ghost Stories segment, two guests at Portland’s Heathman Hotel spend the night beside the infamous Room 703 and hear something they can’t explain. Finally, we travel back to a foothill reservoir, where a hidden cave, a wise grandfather, and the sound of a phantom train beyond the dam blur memory, history, and the unexplained.

    The Haunted Houseboat

    A strange figure at Eagle Lake. Gray shapes watching from the corners of a childhood friend’s house. An abandoned houseboat that felt anything but empty. In this episode of The Ghost Collector, three true stories explore the uneasy spaces between memory, fear, and the unexplained.

    Knocking in the Victorian

    In this episode of The Ghost Collector, four strange stories move through haunted houses, lonely highways, childhood warnings, and one final impossible smile. First, a Seattle Victorian becomes the setting for a night of heavy knocking and the feeling that something in the old house wants to be heard. Then, a late-night drive takes a disturbing turn when a pair of floating eyes appears along the highway — watching from the dark where no person should be. At sixth grade camp, a boy wakes to find an elderly camp employee known as Grandma leaning over his bed — and in the days that follow, she seems to keep appearing nearby, watching him with an unsettling focus he can’t explain. And finally, a dead patient appears to smile — leaving behind one of those images that never really lets go. This episode of The Ghost Collector features four unsettling stories about haunted places, roadside strangeness, an unnerving encounter with a camp employee, and the strange moments that seem to come from the edge of death.

    Mary

    In this episode of The Ghost Collector, three strange stories blur the line between haunting, coincidence, and folklore. First, a young woman buys her first home in the early 1990s, only to discover that the previous owners may not have fully left. At night, motion sensors flash in the corners of her bedroom, the room turns cold, and a cracked voice calls out one name: Mary. Then, a family road trip takes a strange turn when a gas card found in a parking lot reappears exactly one year later, in the same place, under nearly identical circumstances. And finally, we close with one of the stranger lesser-told legends of the paranormal: the moving coffins of Barbados, where a sealed family vault was opened again and again, only to reveal that the coffins inside had somehow moved. Ghosts, glitches in reality, and the uneasy rituals we build around death — this is The Ghost Collector.

    The Truck on the Shoulder

    In The Truck on the Shoulder, Damien shares the story of an old Chevy parked along a country road — and a man inside who may not have belonged there at all. Then, in Screams in the Hallway, John recalls a terrifying night inside a Las Vegas motel, where disembodied screams echoed from somewhere down the hall with no explanation. And in The Man on the Mountain Road, a late-night drive through the mountains leads to a possible hitchhiker who appears where he shouldn’t be. Three unsettling stories from the edge of the ordinary. I’m Scott Wejmar, and this is The Ghost Collector.

    The Klamath Vortex

    Three strange stories from the edges of ordinary life.First, a fishing trip along the Klamath River turns unsettling when something impossible appears on the far bank — something that seems to bend distance, direction, and reality itself. Then, a woman standing beside a roadside memorial raises a chilling question: was she grieving at the scene… or was she the one being remembered? And finally, a man trying to sleep in his car is startled awake by a stranger tapping on the window — a late-night encounter that becomes more frightening the longer it goes on. These are the stories people carry with them for years. The moments they replay, question, and never quite explain. I’m Scott Wejmar, and this is The Ghost Collector.

    The Whispering Cabin

    In the premiere episode of The Ghost Collector, Scott shares three unsettling stories of the unexplained. A quiet family night at a cabin is interrupted by a whispered voice from an empty room. A mother alone with her young children encounters two little boys in the hallway who shouldn’t be there. And in the rural night sky of Central California, a group of strange lights appears over the countryside, leaving witnesses with more questions than answers. These are the kinds of stories that stay with people — small, personal, and impossible to fully explain. True stories. Real places. Strange signals.
