    Porch Lights and Phantom Guests – 3 True Cozy Inn Hauntings
    Jul 23 2025
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we unpack our overnight bag and check in to three of America’s most charming—and gently haunted—historic inns. These aren’t tales of terror, but of memory: the scent of old perfume in an empty room, a violin playing a mournful tune, and a ghost cat that curls up beside the fire like it never left.

    🛏️ First, we visit the Martha Washington Inn in Abingdon, Virginia, where a young woman named Beth may still be playing for a soldier who never came home.

    🕰️ Next, we step into Room 14 at the Wayside Inn in Middletown, Virginia, where a silent figure in a blue dress appears in the hallway—and disappears just as quickly.

    🐾 Finally, we spend a night at the Buxton Inn in Granville, Ohio, where the scent of rose perfume, a ticking clock, and a ghostly gray cat suggest that former innkeeper Bonnie never truly left her favorite room.

    These stories are based on documented reports, historical records, and long-standing local lore—gently adapted into first-person tales for the cozy horror heart. Perfect for listeners who love haunted history, warm fireplaces, and spirits who stay for the company.

    🎙️ This episode is perfect for fans of:
    • haunted inns and gentle ghosts
    • cozy horror with historical charm

  • Ghosts, Giggles, and Butter Pecan – 3 True Cozy Ice Cream Parlor Hauntings

    Ghosts, Giggles, and Butter Pecan – 3 True Cozy Ice Cream Parlor Hauntings
    Jul 16 2025
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we dive into three delightfully haunted ice cream parlors across the U.S. These aren’t tales of terror, but the gentle kind of hauntings: spoons that tap with no hand, mirrored reflections that don’t match the room, and the faint scent of vanilla wafting in long after closing time.

    🍨 First, in The Vanilla Giggle, we visit historic Fentons Creamery in Oakland, California, where employees working the late shift often hear laughter—and sometimes see the ghost of a little girl darting up the back stairs.

    🍨 Next, in The Psychic Sundae, we stop at Chill, a pastel-hued ice cream shop tucked inside Hotel Cassadaga in Florida’s “Psychic Capital of the World.” A solo sundae leads to a spine-tingling mirror encounter and a ghostly presence no psychic warned her about.

    🍨 Finally, in The Tapping Spoon, a traveler visits the old-fashioned ice cream parlor at the Farnsworth House Inn in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. But as her spoon begins to move on its own and a face appears in the mirror behind her… she realizes some guests at this Civil War inn may never have left. These stories are based on real reports, folklore, and local hauntings—gently retold for those who prefer their chills cozy, and their ghost stories served with a side of whipped cream.

    🎙️ This episode is perfect for fans of:
    • gentle ghost stories
    • haunted history with a twist of nostalgia
    • cozy horror fiction
    • paranormal small-town travel
    • ice cream… with a chill

    Buttercream & Benevolent Spirits – 3 True Cozy Bakery Hauntings
    Jul 9 2025
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we whisk our way into three real bakeries where the scent of cinnamon lingers... and so do the ghosts. These aren’t stories of terror, but of quiet presence—of almond-sweet air before dawn, a music box lullaby in a sugar-dusted prep room, and birthday cakes lovingly corrected by invisible hands.

    🍞 First, in The Yeast That Rose Twice, we travel to Blackbird Bakery in Austin, Texas, where the ghost of a stern but devoted German baker may still be shaping loaves before the morning shift.

    🥐 Next, in Croissants from the Beyond, we slip into Maison de Miette in Savannah, Georgia, where staff swear they’re not alone during the 4 a.m. prep—especially when the almond scent arrives before the ovens are ever turned on.

    🎂 Finally, in The Birthday Cake Whisperer, we visit Molly’s Sweets & Treats in Salem, Massachusetts, where a young girl who died long ago seems determined to ensure no birthday goes forgotten—even if she has to rewrite the names herself.

    These stories draw from staff recollections, customer tales, and long-whispered local folklore—gently adapted into first-person narratives made for the cozy horror heart. Perfect for listeners who love creaky floorboards, rolling pins that move on their own, and ghosts who just want to help in the kitchen.

    🎙️ This episode is perfect for fans of:
    haunted bakeries & sweet-spirited ghosts
    cozy horror with a culinary twist
    paranormal folklore & historic kitchens
    early-morning prep stories with a side of mystery
