    Even as a Child, I Knew

    It begins at her then-boyfriend’s childhood home, where she experiences two separate instances of being slapped on the head by an unseen force—while lying against a solid wall. Later, she learns of a man who died tragically nearby, deepening the mystery. In 2019, during what was meant to be a relaxing river trip in Texas, she wakes in the middle of the night to a terrifying presence she believes was demonic—an encounter so disturbing she’s only spoken of it once since. Finally, in 2022, while doing laundry in her garage just after her father moved out, she locks eyes with a full-bodied apparition watching her from behind a wall—solid, detailed, and unnervingly curious. These events, together with a sensitivity to energy and spirit, form a haunting timeline of unexplained phenomena doesn't look for, but endures with quiet strength and faith.

    There's a Mimic in the House

    A listener shares her terrifying experience inside her family’s duplex — a home once owned by her husband’s late grandmother. What begins as a normal evening quickly turns strange when she hears her son’s voice inside the house… even though both of her children were playing outside. The story deepens with connections to other paranormal activity caught on video — including an orb that seems to interact with her in real time. ⚠️ Audio Note: You might notice slightly off audio quality throughout, but at one specific moment — right when the mysterious voice is mentioned — we captured a strange anomaly that sounds eerily like an intelligent response.
