“The story has a glorious mixture of true crime and the paranormal coupled with enough coincidences that could make even a hardened disbeliever (in the paranormal) consider that ghosts do exist.”

- Heather Gordon, ACAST

Ghost Story is a genre-bending deep dive that starts as a haunted-house tale and gradually transforms into a moral excavation of family secrets and legacy. Journalist Tristan Redman, a skeptical skeptic, returns to the site of his teenage nights—only to discover that the house next door witnessed a murder in 1937. What unfolds is no simple terror trip: it’s a meticulous unpeeling of intimacy, grief, and reputation. Redman probes not only the eerie apparitions but also the ways truth becomes entangled with memory, guilt, and class. His reporting—patient, empathetic, but unflinching—turns each ghostly whisper into a question about what we owe our ancestors and what they owe us in return.

The show is smart and atmospheric—never cheapening its supernatural hints, yet never surrendering to them. It asks, ultimately: is the real haunting the house, or the secrets we inherit? Ghost Story is less a frightfest and more an elegy—clinical in its pursuit, compassionate in its judgment.
