We went all in on the spooky this week with listener encounters that seriously tested our bravery, diving into stories of possession, demons and exorcisms. These experiences had everything that keeps us up at night, like eerie 3:33 a.m. wakeups, haunted mirrors, sleepwalking trances, years long demonic attachments, physical injuries from paranormal attacks and so much more. Plus, rare moments where protective forces intervene.

• A listener wakes at 3:33 a.m. to a blood-curdling scream, is pulled into a trance and faces a chained, monstrous entity in an antique mirror.

• One listener performed multiple exorcisms as a teen, and battled demonic forces that caused objects to levitate and people to speak in unknown languages.

• Strange astral experiences lead one person to unknowingly cross into a dangerous space, after which both she and her sister experience physical and emotional attacks.

• Another listener details a lifelong attachment from a high-ranking demon that appeared in dreams, sent smaller entities to torment her, and threatened to claim her soul.

• A terrifying pattern of sleepwalking and astral projection leads one storyteller to open the wrong “door,” inviting something dark that begins targeting both her and her sister.

We’re sinking our teeth into all things vampires. Their dark, blood-soaked origins, the spooky, seductive legends and people who truly believe they are vampires. We explore how ancient fears, bizarre medical mysteries, and real historical events shaped the vampire lore we know and love.

Then things get extra eerie as we share chilling modern encounters, creepy Reddit stories, and whispers of real-life vampire communities that make it hard to tell where myth ends and reality begins. So come hang with us… just maybe don’t invite anyone inside.

We are diving into spine-tingling listener encounters where beloved pets become unexpected guardians, mediums and witnesses to the unknown, blending cozy fur-baby nostalgia with genuine terror. These psychic cats, ghostly farmhands and supernatural guard dogs remind us that animals sense far more than we ever could. And sometimes they’re the only thing standing between us and whatever is watching.

Stories include:

• A cat refuses to let his owner leave the house, only for her to later discover she narrowly avoided a fatal car accident at the exact time she would have been on the road.

• A friendly, ghostly farmhand named Fred rattles stall doors, tidies hay, and quietly watches over horses and barn cats like a paranormal stable manager.

• A pet sitter describes staying in centuries-old homes where unseen entities slam doors, mimic entire kitchens in motion, and even sit on the bed beside her.

• A listener explains how multiple animals in one home locked their gaze on the same invisible presence, leaving her as the only one unable to see what was there.

• One listener shares growing up with a protective dog named Holly who barked at a dark presence that eventually escalated to physically pulling her from the bed.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most chilling and heartbreaking cases we’ve ever covered, unraveling the story of a seemingly perfect family whose reality was far darker than anyone could have imagined. We follow the timeline from the early morning hours of August 13th through the unfolding investigation, piecing together the moments, relationships, and warning signs that led to an unthinkable outcome. But beyond the true crime, there’s something else here that stopped us in our tracks.

As we explore police body cam footage and overlooked moments from the case, we uncover eerie details that have left viewers questioning what’s really being captured. Voices, shadowy apparitions, and possible messages from the other side. Is it coincidence, or could it be the voices of a family, still trying to be heard after their story was cut short?

If someone in your life is showing warning signs of domestic danger please reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. It's free, confidential, and available 24/7. You can also chat at thehotline.org.

We like to imagine the Grim Reaper as a helpful and misunderstood entity, clocking in for a very intense job. But after these stories… we’re not so sure. We’re getting into listener encounters that range from oddly funny to deeply unsettling, all circling the same shadowy figure who seems to show up a little too early and a little too often.

Grim Reaper appearances include:

• A shadowy, eight-foot figure appears beside a listener’s bed before returning in a dream to whisper “it is your time.”

• A hooded presence repeatedly appears throughout a listener’s life during a series of near-death experiences.

• An unseen “man in black” pacing closer and closer to a hospital patient throughout a nurse’s shift before the patient suddenly passes.

• A hooded entity sitting beside an apparition of a deceased relative at a funeral, sharing a quiet, eerie moment before vanishing.

In the second installment of this two-parter, we pick up right where we left off with Harold, and things immediately spiral. Anthony starts traveling with the doll, capturing EVPs that range from aggressive threats to disturbingly crude commentary. Psychics refuse to be in the same room as Harold, one woman is physically bitten during a tarot reading, and a Ouija board session reveals a spirit named Adam before leaving a deep scratch across a participant’s body. Harold isn’t just haunted, he’s active, reactive, and escalating.

As more encounters unfold, we learn there may be up to five spirits inside the doll, including a vulnerable child spirit and a dark entity controlling the four others. After a series of injuries, terrifying visions, and mounting tragedies, Anthony realizes he may not be in control at all and locks Harold away for years. But when the doll resurfaces, so does the chaos. Now, Anthony believes he has a responsibility to free the innocent spirits trapped inside, but with Harold growing stronger and more unpredictable, that mission may come at a cost.

It’s time for one of our favorite topics: creepy kid encounters. We’ve received countless stories of children chatting casually with deceased relatives and questionable entities, and even kids who are the subject of full-on paranormal interventions that leave physical marks. Kids seem especially tuned into the supernatural, whether they are being protected, targeted, or something in between.

• At just seven years old, one listener was violently dragged by a ghostly “white lady” into an abandoned house while adults watched in horror.

• One parent shares how something in their home mimicked her voice and nearly lured her child outside at 3 a.m. with chillingly specific instructions.

• A sleepover turns terrifying when an “imaginary friend” reveals itself as a black-eyed girl who physically attacks and leaves bruises on a guest.

• We recount a lifelong haunting where spirits attached to a child attempt to claim them through illness, dreams, and eerie rituals tied to trees.

What began as a clever sales gimmick to make an old doll sell on eBay soon became something far more terrifying when Harold the Haunted Doll began leaving a trail of tragedy behind him. As the hauntings turned real, at least two people connected to Harold died shortly after encountering him. And EVP evidence suggested that the doll may house more than one spirit, causing dark and unpredictable hauntings. 

In the first installment of this two-parter, we dig into the unsettling accounts surrounding Harold’s journey to his current owner, Anthony Quinata. In his book, Quinata documents years of paranormal encounters, threats, possessions, and unexplained phenomena tied to the doll. Harold’s story is one of the most bizarre haunted object cases we have ever covered.

We are diving headfirst into your haunted evidence this week and let’s just say… you delivered. From crystal-clear ghost photobombs in broad daylight to EVPs that feel highly intentional, we explore chilling proof that the paranormal is not just lurking, it’s interacting.

Evidence includes:

• A photo from the Stanley hotel, where a listener captured what appears to be a full-bodied figure of Mr. Stanley himself photobombing on a staircase in the middle of the day.

• A photo from a haunted tour appears to show a crouching, almost inhuman figure lurking between volunteers in the darkness.

• Security camera footage of what looks like a ghostly child sprinting across a yard, appearing and disappearing mid-frame as nearby lights flicker.

• An EVP recorded on the Queen Mary that responds directly to a listener, sounding like a child gently asking “are you okay” after she says she feels tense.

• Photos from Waverly Hills show a figure manifesting from disembodied feet into a full shadowy person standing among a tour group.

**Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of accidental death and multiple suicides of minors**

A beloved high school principal, trusted by students and parents alike, begins using hypnosis to help teens with anxiety, performance, and pain. Sounds harmless… until we realize just how deep those sessions go. Closed doors. Altered states. Missing memories. And a chilling question: what happens when someone else starts rewiring your mind?

As we unravel the stories of three students who all sat in that office, closed their eyes, and never got to tell their full story, things take a tragic turn. Students exhibit trance-like behavior, strange emotional detachment, depressive states and out of character decision making. It’s a devastating case that raises a difficult question about trust, authority, and the unseen impact of suggestion.

We’re diving deep into haunted New England, where eerie backroads, historic buildings, and long-forgotten spirits collide. Ancient elemental spirits, haunted institutions, and eras-old buildings filled with lingering energy and gin drinking spirits, these stories blend history, horror and the psychologically unsettling.

Stories include:

• A listener gets lost on a desolate Maine road when the GPS mysteriously leads them to a fog-filled stretch haunted by a sinister woman who appears twice in impossible ways.

• During a childhood visit to a former tuberculosis preventorium, a listener experiences watchful eyes, freezing air, and the voices of phantom children.

• A wine delivery gone wrong escalates into a terrifying encounter with a man whose eyes turn completely black mid-argument.

• A Ouija board session in a haunted college building connects a listener with a spirit who wants gin and revenge.

• One listener endures a terrifying night of sleep paralysis in a historic Shaker dwelling.
