Welcome to our (very) haunted Halloween Special.

We’ve been sitting on this one for a while, waiting for the right time.

In the first half, listen to the chilling, remarkable story of a childhood haunting. What starts as an early encounter with a long-haired figure in the shadows escalates into possession, physical attacks, and a deeply unsettling episode of missing time in a bathroom. (Good luck sleeping tonight.) Then, in the second half, we talk to the woman that child became.

Highlights!
