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!

Lisa’s experience with a shadowy figure who watched her motionless from the doorway so often that she got used to it.

A seance that went wrong (do they ever go right?)

Billy (6’7”, 300 pounds) gets possessed

The introduction of two distinct entities - the peaceful long-haired man (the shadow watcher) who apologized for his aggressive companion, and a “bored and angry” spirit responsible for years of harassment

Another friend lifted off his feet and slammed into a wall

The thing that happened in the bathroom

The motive behind Lisa’s extraordinary documentation, what Tom calls “a PhD thesis” of paranormal data

Lisa’s affinity for horror movies (she doesn’t scare easily)

Why the haunting makes no sense (the house was new when they moved in)

Ghosts are just “people you don’t see” who can be jerks or peaceful observers

Why most of her experiences were alone or with her friends, without the parents around

Tom shares his partner’s auto-writing experience that produced Victorian-era cursive spelling “Jeffrey C U”
