"The Man in the Phone Booth Called Me After He Died" And Other Ghost Stories

[00:00:00] Welcome to Tell Me A Ghost Story. The late-night call in podcast where we delve into the world

[00:00:18] of the supernatural and explore the eerie and unexplained.

[00:00:23] I'm your host, Michelle Newman. This podcast features true stories from our collars that

[00:00:31] will send shivers down your spine and leave you questioning the existence of the afterlife.

[00:00:39] So grab a cozy blanket, turn down the lights.

[00:00:43] Hey Michelle, let's do two fold again. Growing up my brothers were 10-11 years away from

[00:00:51] me and they had a really close friend named Bobby.

[00:00:56] And Bobby passed away and what would have been college age in that car accident.

[00:01:01] And well my brothers swore, my brother who doesn't believe in the paranormal, he heard

[00:01:05] Bobby calling his name the next time he went to work and was alone.

[00:01:10] We grew up in a restaurant. We all worked for my father.

[00:01:14] So a couple years later I'm washing dishes. I'm going up to the storage attic and organizing

[00:01:19] and bringing down canned goods or pizza boxes or whatever.

[00:01:23] Every so often I'd be up there working, same place I'd worked yesterday no problem.

[00:01:29] And I would just know someone was there watching me and I couldn't see anyone in a big

[00:01:32] sense but I go downstairs and clean something else. Can't explain it.

[00:01:36] So you don't years go by and it's like not every day. It's like every quarter of his time

[00:01:41] up there or only in parts of the attic.

[00:01:45] And it was always a feeling, you know chicken skin or the hair on the back of the neck kind

[00:01:48] of thing. Anyway fast forward. He closes, he reopens long stories. I can't explain it.

[00:01:56] 10, 15 years go by and we had an paranormal night at the restaurant actually which was

[00:02:04] the economic failure when you're real and then you couldn't get any business.

[00:02:07] But a friend of mine from work brought in this woman I had never met who claimed to be

[00:02:10] a psychic. I need to test this because not everyone who claims to be something is something.

[00:02:15] I'm not people who claim to be a doctor that never finished high school so whatever.

[00:02:19] And she said yeah we're in a haunted restaurant.

[00:02:22] Bobby's okay he says he's watching you guys he's doing good.

[00:02:26] She didn't say Robert, she pulled the name Bobby of all names out of the air and he was

[00:02:31] doing fun.

[00:02:34] Is that doesn't give you the chills?

[00:02:38] Thanks for calling in again David. Keep those stories flowing.

[00:02:43] Next message.

[00:02:45] Hey Michelle let's me rock again from Orange County. I have another story to share with you.

[00:02:51] This happened in Pomona where my grandparents used to own and when they were alive.

[00:02:55] And I was awoken up at least. I want to say 10 o'clock at night and I looked over the

[00:03:01] window, something had told me you need to look up the window and it was a gentleman in

[00:03:05] the phone booth and somebody had just drove by and just shot him, shot up.

[00:03:11] I guess it was like a dry by between games and he would caught up in the middle.

[00:03:17] So my grandparents and my parents saw me go through the window and they noticed that I

[00:03:21] witnessed it because they witnessed it as well.

[00:03:24] My grandma and my mom grabbed me from the window and they basically were trying to reconcil

[00:03:28] me because I didn't know really what was going on.

[00:03:31] So things didn't get a lot weirder until a couple nights afterward to where I was awoken

[00:03:39] in the middle of the night and I saw a gentleman by the window and I freaked out because

[00:03:47] I was sleeping at the time with my grandparents in between them.

[00:03:51] And I woke up in the middle of the night and they told my grandma and they said, Grandma,

[00:03:54] Grandma wake up and my grandma goes what happened and they said there's a man setting up

[00:03:58] the window and my grandma was like, what are you talking about?

[00:04:02] And she looked over at the alarm clock in the morning and I told my grandma I was like

[00:04:07] I think it's a man in the phone booth and my grandma started getting goosebumps

[00:04:10] and she was like, you don't know what you're talking about.

[00:04:12] And that's my grandma and they said no grandma like look she looks out and my grandma didn't

[00:04:19] believe in having to print that into the back of the window.

[00:04:22] My grandma looked up on my window and she says my gentleman just poking his hand in the

[00:04:26] window like he's trying to peer to see who's in there.

[00:04:30] So my grandma freaked out, she wasted my grandpa and told my grandpa, hey get out right

[00:04:35] now there's a man outside the window so I was like grandpa wakes up he's freaking out

[00:04:39] because he's from Berkysnore and he sprints up and says what do you guys talk about?

[00:04:47] What man?

[00:04:48] So my grandma and I look at the window and the man is out there in the morning and he

[00:04:52] just disappeared.

[00:04:53] So we were like what the heck so a cat recurring every night at the same time up three in the

[00:05:00] morning my grandma decided to have my mom make her answer for her because she said she

[00:05:05] was really uncomfortable with the gentleman poking his head in the window.

[00:05:10] So there was one time where we were playing with all the neighborhood kids and they were

[00:05:15] wrenching the rooms with a bottle and we used to go by the phone booth and one of the kids

[00:05:19] was like oh he's the ghost maybe we can go ahead and you know go around the phone booth

[00:05:23] so we would go mess around near the phone booth.

[00:05:26] The phone started to ring and the kids were like what the heck and mind you this was around

[00:05:32] five o'clock in the afternoon so the kids were looking at me and they're like who is that

[00:05:39] so I told one of the girls I was like well if you don't believe me go pick up the phone

[00:05:43] so she went and picked up the phone and she started running and I said what happened

[00:05:48] to the other kid picked up the phone that was that she dropped and then he started running

[00:05:53] crying so I was left alone and I'm like what is going on so I picked up the phone and

[00:05:59] the phone was static and then it sounded like somebody said oh and then the call dropped

[00:06:06] and so I ran in the house and I told my parents my parents were like you're not allowed

[00:06:10] to go to that phone booth and of course being the ignorant kid that I was and curious

[00:06:14] otherwise I would go to the phone and notice that the phone would ring at the start that's

[00:06:20] the same time when at five o'clock and then at that time you would hear it exactly at 10

[00:06:26] o'clock ringing over and over again so I honestly don't know what happened to the man

[00:06:33] I don't know if he's still linger there but the phone booth doesn't no longer there

[00:06:36] but after the phone booth incident I kept hearing somebody walking with their boots like

[00:06:43] outside my window and it would walk around from my grandma's room to her bathroom and then

[00:06:48] to the office of the motel and so my grandpa had to perform like a ritual to kind of calm

[00:06:56] and eat with spirit down so this is one of my scary stories that I have to share I also have

[00:07:02] many more. Thanks for your story Rock I'm glad your grandma got curtains that's all we have
