The makers of the hit family history podcast Ghost Story are appealing for family stories to feature in the podcast’s second season.

Ghost Story is presented by journalist Tristan Redman. He discovered that residents of the house he lived in as a teenager in Richmond, London have reported seeing the ghost of a faceless woman.

In the house next door, in 1937, pioneering female doctor Dr Naomi Dancy and her brother Maurice Tribe, a First World War veteran, were found dead. The police at the time found that Maurice killed Naomi and then himself – but is that true?

By astonishing coincidence, Tristan Redman’s wife Kate is the great-granddaughter of Naomi Dancy and her husband John. The podcast follows Tristan as he sets out to uncover what really happened.
