It's Haunted...What Now?

For centuries humans have been telling stories to teach or find like-minded companions. We tell ghost stories to spook each other and to find hope that we are not alone in what we experience. That we’re not losing our minds. Today’s episode is brimming with tales of people lucky enough to have witnessed unfortunate people who wished they weren’t alone. Thank you to the following for sharing your s...

With winter still dragging on, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the darkness, the cold, and the sad, listless feeling of being pulled along through the year. Everything seems on edge; the trees are creaking with bare branches, and the ice echoes when it snaps in the night. A perfect setup for ghost stories, right? While I won’t argue with you, I do think that some of the stories we’ve gathered here...

They say seeing is believing, but what if you saw it and heard it and lived it but you still can’t believe it? It’s so hard to accept paranormal experiences as real, but when it happens to you, what else can you do but believe it as real? Sometimes it’s so hard to believe what happened really did happen because it was so fantastical and unreal. Thank you to the following for sharing your stories:...

As we move into the darkest parts of the year, I’m reminded of the old traditions in certain parts of the world, where people would tell ghost stories over the holiday season. It’s cold, it’s dark, and the world seems to be leaning just a little more towards that thin, liminal space between our world and something a little more…sinister.

Author Wendy Wunder wrote, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” Ever wonder why spirits choose to return or never leave a location? It might be a familiar place in an unfamiliar dimension. It might be the safety they always felt during life. This episode will have you second guessing every sound you hear at night with tales about home...

With the passing of Halloween, spooky season has officially come to a close. This doesn’t mean that we’re anywhere near finished with ghost stories though; on the contrary, I think November has just as strong of a case as October for being a time for scary stories told after dark. The sun makes rarer and rarer appearances these days, which means there’s plenty of extra time to listen to the storie...

Many things can be considered paranormal other than those involving spirits. The true meaning of paranormal is any event that can’t be scientifically proven or occurs beyond the scope of scientific understanding. From sounds of footsteps in long abandoned woods to seemingly benign childhood restaurant terrors, these stories fall beyond the scope of normal understanding and traditional hauntings. O...

British author Roald Dahl aptly pointed out that “The witching hour… was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.” Many paranormal experiences happen during the deepest part of the night when most people are asleep and caught unawares. Today’s episode i...

Many spiritual encounters involve watching a ghostly occurrence happen around you like objects moving or disembodied sounds.
