Identity Theft: Stories of Shapeshifters and Trickster Entities Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

A hot topic right now is the ethics of AI generated images and audio. What these programs are able to mimic can be scarily accurate. But this type of trickery has been going on for a long time…by spirits. People all over the world have been reporting seeing or hearing family or friends in places they actually weren’t. Spirits have already been doing what we fear AI will do in the future.

So for this week’s episode, I wanted to share true stories from real people who have been targets of a spirit mimicking someone they knew, just to show you how common this phenomenon is.

First, I tell the tale of a community in St Lucia haunted by a mysterious wolf.

Then, I narrate the account of a girl who thought she was being tucked into bed by her father.

Next, I recall the times a kid witnessed an entity mimic the members of his family.

And finally, I read the experience of a person who had a close call with shapeshifting creatures at camp.

Ch 1: The Wolf, submitted by Kenzi
Ch 2: Second Dad, submitted by Chloe
Ch 3: It keeps imitating my family, submitted by Dan G
Ch 4: The Tah-tah-kle-ahs, submitted by Squeam

Stories Revisited: The Intelligent Ball of Light in Joshua Tree, The Twentynine Palms Shadow Man Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

A couple weeks ago I went to Twentynine Palms and had some really incredible paranormal experiences that you’ll hear about in the future. While I was out there I was reminded of a couple stories from a few years back. So while the show is still on a break, I wanted to share these stories again - as a reminder of just how freaky the desert is.
First, my friend Arthur tells us of the intelligent beam of light he witnessed in Joshua Tree. Then, my cousin’s friend Raeha tells us of the crawling shadow man in Twentynine Palms. Since these are from older episodes the audio will be a little inconsistent, so my apologies.
Ch 1 - Joshua Tree, with Arthur
Ch 2 - The Desert Shadow Man, with Raeha Keller
