Ghost Story

I am a podcast fanatic- and this is - by far - is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. All of it. The pace, the narrative, the honesty, the self reflection…too much to list. More please.

I am two episodes away from the finale, not counting the “burning questions answered” episode. I am dreading the end because I’m enjoying it so much I am afraid I won’t find another one as good as this in short order! This story has captivated me. It’s perfect for spooky season if you’re also into investigative journalism/documentary. The author’s connection to it is also not only supremely unique in itself, it forces the story to be an examination of all of the characters’ potential motives, including the author himself. It’s not often a documentarian admits that along the way, and I appreciated that. I was hooked with the intro ghost stories that brought this story up in the first place, and stayed for the deep dive into these real lives and events that may or may not be connected-overall a great mystery series.

First, I’m a producer and being pushed towards a show makes me resistant to engaging with it. Within seconds of playing the podcast I was transported to a study in London on a crisp fall day, listening to a “Ghost Story.” I was hooked. The Dancy family history, interwoven with the larger historical relevance is breathtaking and inspiring. Tristan’s and Annie’s reporting, and their openness to exploring alternative methods of research are fun and fascinating. Lastly, I owe the Dancy family a debt of gratitude for letting their story be dissected and shared with the world. This series gave me a much needed respite from the 2024 Presidential Election. Thank you 🙏

Way to bring to life some amazing and wonderful family members. What an honor, thank you for sharing this story- it’s not about the murder or the ghost- it’s about the people’s lives and achievements you brought back to life and that’s an incredible journey of love. Bravo!

It started off great but definitely fizzled quickly. Many 5 star comments talk about how this podcast honored the forgotten woman who was murdered. All fine and well, but is that the premise you expect from a podcast that’s called “ghost story?” She’s not even the ghost in question! It’s giving bait and switch- let me hook you with this ghost story then dive into my wife’s family drama. Yawn
