    Rest in Chaos: Stories of spirits and ghosts who can't find peace

    Rest in Chaos: Stories of spirits and ghosts who can't find peace

    "Rest in peace." We say this when somebody passes because we hope that their spirit moves to the other side peacefully. But sometimes that transition is disrupted, resulting in a ghost. In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing stories of spirits who are still lingering on earth, unable to rest.
    First, I tell the tale of a grandfather ghost who had to deal with his feuding wife and mistresses.Then, I narrate the time a young girl was haunted by a lady who lived in her closet. Next, I read the experience of a person who was protected by a murdered boy while astral projecting. And finally, I share the story of a truck driver who encountered a phantom little girl.

    I Think Something Happened Here: Stories about sensing energy in a space

    I Think Something Happened Here: Stories about sensing energy in a space

    Have you ever walked into a building and immediately became overwhelmed by… a weird feeling? And you couldn’t really pinpoint why? You just knew something felt…off. Because mainstream representations of the paranormal are dramatized and sensationalized, people think that these experiences need to be BIG and SCARY in order to be real. But sometimes - maybe, most of the time - it’s subtle. Sometimes you dont find a reason. Sometimes it’s just…weird vibes.
    So for today’s episode, i'll be sharing true stories from real people who also got strange inexplicable vibes somewhere.
    First, I tell the tale of a teenager whose childhood home had a room they all avoided. Next, I narrate the account of a photographer who was taking photos in a bungalow with a dark past. Then, I share the story of siblings who explored the abandoned house next door. And finally, I recount the time a young woman connected with something in an old museum.
