Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories
True ghost stories since 1997. Castle of Spirits is the internet’s original haunted archive and a weekly paranormal podcast featuring true ghost stories and real, listener-submitted paranormal encounters. Hosted by Vince and Jane Font (The Ghostkeepers), the show explores real-life hauntings, unexplained phenomena, folklore, and other chilling mysteries with smart, often wry discussion. If Radio Rental and Spooked! had a weird ghost baby, this would be it.
