“I thought my friend was sharing a ghost haunting story. But it’s more like skeletons in the closet type story.
I’ve only listened to S1/Episode 1. I really liked it & now want to research more of my family history, as my Mom told me about a Paternal grandfather on her maternal side....”Read full review »

“Very captivating and entertaining. Also, *SPOILER*…. Nikki from the 1st episode is clearly a malignant narcissist and the father is her enabler. Feel so bad for those kids, and love that people like Caila have been able to tell their stories through this podcast. Familial abuse/dysfunction is a...”Read full review »

“I just stumbled on the episode Fatal Nickel — and its brutal view of the brutal Koch family. I was spellbound — even though I thought I knew quite a lot about this rapacious clan. Will be adding Family Ghosts to my regular podcasts.”

“I really enjoy this podcast. It also made me realize that whether the ghosts are ghosts in the true sense of the word, or those whispered stories and hints at family functions, I too am surrounded by Family Ghosts.
Thanks”

“I binged the entire series.. it was that compelling. When I reached the end, I felt a sense of loss. Every episode was unique, profound and delivered by impeccable storytellers. They made me feel like I was in an intimate fireside circle with those original humans who taught us who we are. This...”Read full review »

“Hey Sam! I have been enjoying your podcast for a few years, and it took your 40th birthday being so close to mine to get me to actually write something. 🤷♀️go figure.

“I normally enjoy most episodes of this show but there was someone so off-putting on episode 53 “Something in the wind” that I absolutely can’t handle listening to this episode. I’m hopeful that they won’t be a recurring presence on the podcast.”
