Donna is taking us to 1966 Brazil, where two men were found dead on a remote hillside wearing homemade lead masks over their eyes, suits on their backs, and a cryptic notebook nearby with zero explanation for how they died. Nearly sixty years later, no one has been able to crack this case, and the theories just keep getting wilder. Kerri is bringing us the story of Emma Smith Raine, a woman who buried three husbands under very suspicious circumstances and somehow had the audacity to build a mansion with the insurance money and name the street it sat on after herself. If you have any local true crime, local urban legend/lore, ghost stories.. we want them all!! We want to hear from YOU. Especially if you have any funny Ambien stories!

Donna takes us across the pond to a quiet row house in Pontefract, England, where a family spent years being tormented by a presence so aggressive and so physical that investigators and witnesses alike couldn't explain it away.

A Ouija board session ends with chairs mysteriously rearranged overnight.
A terrifying encounter with a possible escaped psychopath.
And a haunted “protector” spirit that may have followed someone for 15 years.

Yeah… this week’s Sinister Sightings is a LOT and is packed with paranormal chaos, creepy encounters, and stories that’ll have you side-eyeing every noise in your house tonight.

We’re talking about a Ouija board session that may have invited something sinister into a home, followed by kitchen chairs mysteriously turned back-to-back overnight and shadowy figures walking through walls.

Then we dive into a listener story involving a horror novel, a sudden nosebleed, a violent storm, and a terrifying sound in the darkness that definitely did not sound human.

We also revisit the haunted assisted living facility from one of our favorite recurring writers, where a young man covered in blood appears at the locked entrance before vanishing without a trace.

And if that’s not enough nightmare fuel, one listener shares years of encounters with what may be a spirit protector. A bearded man in overalls first appeared standing beside her bed as a teenager and may still be following her to this day.

Plus, Ambien stories are BACK! Sleep disorders might be scarier than the ghosts.

So if you love paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, creepy true stories, and laughing through the fear… welcome home, spooky bitch. 👻

A ghost child at school. A haunted rental house with phantom basketball practice at 2am. And an escaped psychopath licking a motel window in the middle of the night.

Yeah… this episode is chaos in the best possible way.

This week’s Sinister Sightings has everything from creepy paranormal encounters to stories that make you immediately check your locks twice.

We’re talking about a teacher who spots what looks like a very real student in the hallway… only for the child to completely disappear seconds later.

Then we head to a rental house where a mother and daughter hear the unmistakable sound of a basketball bouncing in the hallway late at night—except there were no balls unpacked, no kids awake, and no explanation for where the sound was coming from.

We also hear from a listener who swears their ghost roommate absolutely hates home renovations and responds by moving tools, turning lights on, and casually running up the power bill like it pays rent.

But the story that truly sent us spiraling? A terrifying late-night encounter in rural Mexico involving a sketchy motel, a broken lock, a creepy man staring through a glass door… and a horrifying discovery the next morning involving an escaped psychopath.

And just when the tension gets unbearable, one listener accidentally punts her own toddler across the bed after mistaking him for a demon in the dark. Honestly? Relatable.

From haunted schools and poltergeist activity to true creepy encounters and ghostly roommates, this episode is packed with real listener stories that’ll have you laughing one second and sleeping with the lights on the next.

So if you love paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, creepy true stories, and laughing through the fear… welcome home, spooky bitch. 👻

A nailed-shut window alarm goes off in an empty nursing home room…A childhood sighting of a Sesame Street character outside the house…And a ride on a dark road that almost turned deadly.

Yeah… this one escalates quickly.

This week’s Sinister Sightings is a full spectrum of creepy, from “that’s weird” to “absolutely the hell not.”

We’re kicking things off in a nursing home where an alarm starts blaring from a vacant room… one with a window that was literally nailed shut. No patients. No movement. Just that gut feeling that something else is there.

Then we get into one of the most bizarre childhood encounters we’ve ever heard: a “Yip Yip” alien from Sesame Street casually walking up to a house like it lives there. Was it imagination… or something taking a form that wouldn’t scare a kid?

We also dive into a haunted house where objects don’t just fall—they’re thrown, caught on camera, and impossible to explain.

And just when you think it can’t get worse… it does.

We end with a terrifying real-life encounter on a dark, rural road where two friends accept a ride from the wrong person—and quickly realize they may not make it out alive. The kind of story that sticks with you long after it’s over.

From haunted nursing homes and childhood paranormal sightings to poltergeist activity and near-death encounters, this episode is packed with real listener stories that blur the line between coincidence… and something much darker.

So if you love paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, and laughing through the fear… welcome. You’re one of us now. 👻

Donna is diving into one of the most talked-about séance experiments in paranormal history called the Scole Experiment . Starting in 1993, two married couples spent five years holding séances in complete darkness, claiming a "spirit team" was producing floating lights, levitating objects, and mysterious images on sealed film.

Kerri has a case that starts as a missing child and gets so much darker from there. Cathy Davidson was reported missing over Labor Day weekend 1973 after what her family called a picnic trip to Warren Dunes State Park in Michigan. The case gets dark from there when her stepmother Anna Young went on to found a violent cult in Florida.

This week’s Sinister Sightings is a wild ride from “I’m laughing” to “absolutely not, I’m sleeping with the lights on.”

We’ve got a haunted closet situation that sends one listener sprinting into the snow in nothing but a t-shirt and a mini hammer (yes… a mini hammer), eerie voices whispering “she’s too aware” right as someone drifts off to sleep, and a deeply emotional story that might just prove our loved ones don’t really leave us when they pass.

Oh, and just for fun? A dog staring up the stairs like he KNOWS something you don’t. Immediate no.

From possible spirit activity and mimic energy to that terrifying in-between sleep state where things get a little too real, we’re asking the important questions:
Are these ghosts… something else… or is our brain just out here freelancing at 2am?

Either way, we’re spiraling. Come spiral with us.

✨ If you love paranormal stories, unexplained experiences, and laughing through the fear… you’re in the right place.

Kerri covers the serial killer Samuel Little. He is confirmed by the FBI as the most prolific serial killer in American history, responsible for possibly 93 murders spanning four decades. His victims were largely marginalized women whose deaths were often misclassified or gone unsolved. Donna is taking the crew on a little cruise aboard the SS Ourang Medan, a ghost ship whose entire crew was found dead, wide-eyed, and pointing at nothing. Whether it was smuggled chemicals, pirates, or something far more sinister, one thing is certain: it makes the Bermuda Triangle look like a kiddie pool.
