About this episode

This episode explores eerie tales and real-world locations of haunted playgrounds.

(Mild CW: Alluded discussion of child death.) Playgrounds are meant to be loud, filled with laughter, movement, and life. So what does it mean when those sounds linger… long after everyone has gone home? In this episode of I Talk To Ghosts, we step into the Spirit Parlour to explore haunted playgrounds. Places that now carry whispers, shadows, and unexplained activity. I'm trying something a little different tonight! Along with the stories, I talk about real-world locations rumored to be haunted, including: Dead Children’s Playground, hidden within an old cemetery where swings are said to move on still nights... Shelton Road Park, where locals report phantom laughter and voices calling from the dark... A forgotten playground near Mount Shasta, where rusted swings creak with no one there to ride them... And to set the mood, I'll share first-person accounts of unsettling stories told by those who swear they heard footsteps in empty parks, felt unseen hands push swings, or sensed they were no longer alone. Light a candle, lower the lights, and listen closely to this immersive, ghostly experience! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
