Way before you tell the story (like the day before, or that morning), find a way to casually mention a few details that are relevant to the story.

Draw a strange symbol on a rock with red chalk, or cut claw marks into fabrics. If you noticed a huge tree next to a river, for instance, you can have one of the victims in your story cling to (coincidentally) a large tree next to a river as she flees from a ghost. Ideally, some of your listeners will remember having seen this tree, and will shudder when you mention it in the story. If it's a foggy night, make it a foggy night in your story.
