Full transcript of the My True Ghost Stories episode “Supernatural Guidance on a Train.” Listen to this episode.

Hello and welcome to the first mini episode of summer 2026 Today I'm going to tell you the story of how I got guidance from a stranger on a train About a paranormal job that I had that weekend So I was on the train and I was going to have lunch with my brother and my sister and I thought that the lunch was at 12 o'clock but apparently it was actually at 11.45 so it was a little bit late and I was a little preoccupied about being late and I was also preoccupied because I had a Clearing job at an apartment in Manhattan that weekend Someone who was complaining about a ghost in their apartment and I was going to go see it and I could not Really get a good idea of how I was supposed to go about this job These intuitions come to me, but nothing was coming So I was going to see my brother and my sister as I said and my sisters got some really cool tattoos So I sat down and I started thinking about tattoos and why They look so good on my sister and everybody else But I could never get one because as soon as I start thinking about getting a tattoo I immediately start thinking about how I would get it removed. So I think that's a sign that I should not get a tattoo and As I was sitting there pondering this, you know, terrible dilemma of not knowing if I should get a tattoo or not But I wasn't just thinking about the tattoos. That was sort of a side thought going on in my head I was actually sitting down and I was really pondering how am I going to go about this gig this weekend and As I was sitting there this woman walked in front of me a young young-ish woman younger than me And she had on this absolutely fabulous outfit She was wearing a cut-off Leonard Skinnerd T-shirt Now she looked too young to me to be a Leonard Skinnerd fan, but you know they come in all all ages, but She was wearing this cut-off Leonard Skinnerd T-shirt and she had she was tan and it was showing off a well-toned tan belly And she had cut off Baggy jean shorts and she had on with this outfit fluorescent lime green heels and she looked absolutely fabulous and she was my idol for that moment and She also had some tattoos Which I was already thinking about So she sat down right next to me and I looked down at her arm. I was also trying to get another glance at those shoes And I looked down at her arm and on it was a pair of hands Put together and so they looked like praying hands and I Just decided to talk to her. I know in New Yorkers have this like this reputation of you know Don't look anybody in the eye and nobody talks to anybody, but that's really not true People talk to each other all the time because we're always standing so close to other people that you often wind up talking to them So she sat down next to me and she's got this cool tattoo of what looked like praying hands to me and I said oh Are those praying hands and she took out her headphone?

She did have her headphone in she said what what I said The that tattoo on your arm are is that praying hands and she said oh, no, no I'm a nail artist. That's the those are hands to show off the nails and I said oh And she said but if you want to look at it as praying hands go right ahead and I said okay I will thank you for the inspiration and So I went back to my steering into space and thinking and she put her headphone back in her ear and then she took out her headphone again And she looked at me and she said oh and I also have this one here and she she lifted up her chin and she showed me tattoo on her neck And she said you might like this one too and on her neck was a pair of Uplifted hands they were also to show off the nails because she was really into nails and you can probably guess that she had fabulous nails as well But on her neck was a pair of uplifted hands not like praying together, but like uplifted but also showing off the nails, but I said Oh, it's also holy I said talking about the tattoo on her neck and She laughed and said again if that's how you want to take it and I said thank you for spreading the word and we laughed some more and then I Took my book out of my bed because I still had you know a couple stops left before I got to the restaurant where my brother and sister were waiting for me because I was late But instead of reading I decided to do what this woman's tattoos were telling me to do and I realized that it was a Direct message about what I should do about this gig on Sunday usually I do just a big meditation Before I go off to do a house clearing and I get messages of what I should do But this was telling me because it was a big job. It was a pretty it was a very spooky situation that was going on in this apartment and These praying hands were telling me That I was gonna need more than just meditation. I was gonna need some help. I was gonna need some help from above and So I realized I'm not gonna read this book.

I have like five stops before I get to the restaurant I'm gonna pray I'm gonna sit on this train and pray and you can totally do that on the subway because Even though we do sometimes talk to each other nobody cares what you're doing on the train So I just said, you know what I'm gonna pray. I didn't put my hands together in total prayer Like the ones on the ladies tattoo next to me But I did put my hands together and I closed my eyes and I lifted my chin and I asked for guidance Not just meditative messages, but I said I Need guidance and I need your help on this spooky job that I'm going on on Sunday and I was nervous to go on that job because it sounded really spooky and I didn't know what was gonna happen when I got there so I realized The powers that be had that woman walk in front of me in that fabulous outfit so that I would notice the outfit Then she sat down right next to me even though there were other seats on the train. She sat down right next to me and I was able to observe her Tattoo and ask her about it and then she showed me the other one and I was able to get this message that this job I was about to do Required help from above We went a few more stops. She got up to leave before me She turned around and said have a nice day and I said Thank you for the holy messages and we laughed a little bit and we honored that little mini relationship We had had there on the train and she got off. I got off and went ahead lunch with my brother and my sister and Then that Sunday I was well prepared I'm not going to give the details of that gig right now, but I was well prepared for the spooky situation that I walked into That Sunday in that haunted apartment in Manhattan Thank you so much for listening to this mini episode If you enjoy my storytelling style you can subscribe to the Patreon and the link to the Patreon is in the show notes Until next time
