About this episode

Listeners share their haunting experiences involving ghosts that want them to stay.

Two listeners. Two hauntings that don't want to scare you — they want you to join them. Sarah is hoovering the top floor of a converted woollen mill when she hears a loom running in an empty room. She switches off to listen and it stops dead. Then it starts again, louder, right behind her, and the temperature drops so fast she can see her breath. Her supervisor goes quiet: a young woman died at one of the looms in the 1880s. Then Marcus and his brother renovate an 1850s clapboard house in Portland, Maine, with a music box that plays at dusk and a woman humming inches behind him on a locked-up afternoon. But it's his brother's night that lingers, a weight sitting down on the end of the air mattress, dipping it like a person, then rising when he turned on the light. A seamstress had lived and died there in the 1870s. Producer Dom unpacks the darker folklore: the "un-ended" bound to the work they never finished, laying the loom for a second pair of hands and the New England "lodger" who keeps her habits, her song, and above all her bed, waiting for the room to empty again. What happens when the ghost doesn't want you gone… it wants you in its place? A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast…
