Show notes
Hey it's Michelle, and this week's six calls include a great-grandmother's dream warning, a crab-shaped ghost with piercing blue eyes, TV-static figures caught mid-attack, a lady who left her closet every single night for one specific purpose, and a memory so vivid it still can't be explained away decades later.
Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana returns with an update on her paranormal household. After visiting the Whispers Estate in Mitchell, Indiana, she came home with company, a second entity in addition to Little Rachel, this one a crab-shaped ghost with piercing blue eyes who favors hiding under the bed.
David from Kansas City calls in about his first apartment, where lifelong sleep paralysis episodes escalated into something he still can't fully explain. One morning, total blackness filled his bathroom and closet doorways despite daylight outside, a whisper called his name as if approaching him, and three loud bangs hit his door before two human-shaped figures made of what looked like TV static physically attacked him. He chanted for help until it stopped. The next morning, his front door was unlocked and four police vehicles surrounded the building, a neighbor at an adjacent complex had murdered his girlfriend that same night.
Brittany from Riverton, Utah calls in about clearing out her late great-uncle's home, where a couple hired to help ended up taking home several belongings with the family's blessing. Days later, one of them called in a panic asking to return everything, a woman named Ruth had come to him in a dream demanding her things back. Ruth was Brittany's fiercely protective great-grandmother, and the items Brittany's family still keeps have never prompted a second visit.
Sydney from Nebraska calls in about a California rental her family moved into despite her immediately sensing something wrong. Alone unpacking her room, she watched a large figure move past her door, called out for a brother who wasn't home, and searched an empty house. Years later, her parents finally admitted what they'd hidden the entire time they lived there, a woman who emerged from the closet every single night to place her hands on Sydney's father's feet and wake him.
Yamari from Pennsylvania calls in about waking in what she assumed was sleep paralysis, three black figures surrounding her bed with her boyfriend right beside her, unreachable no matter how hard she tried to move or scream. The dream logic falls apart on one detail, the bedroom door, closed before they went to sleep, was standing open when she finally woke.
An anonymous caller shares a childhood dream of an angel telling them "it's okay" during what felt, at five or six, like the happiest point of their life, a comfort that only made sense years later, standing in a Catholic church, remembering it in the middle of their hardest stretch of middle school.
And Erica from San Diego returns with an early childhood memory that has never once changed in the retelling, waking in her parents' bed to find the mattress replaced entirely by an endless, fire-filled trench beneath them, her parents sound asleep and completely unfazed while she floated terrified above the flames.
Six real callers. Six true ghost stories.
