In the first century, Roman writer Pliny the Younger wrote a letter recounting a chilling tale of a haunted house in Athens, where the ghost of a chained, emaciated man terrified residents. This is believed to be one of the first documented haunted house stories in history, and over the centuries, thousands (both fiction and non-fiction) have been told. 

Living in a haunted house is a particular type of terror - no respite, no safety and nowhere to go in the dark night when creaks and shadows follow you. In this episode, M recounts true stories of peoples experiences living in a haunted house. 

Story 1: The Hand in the Hallway
Story 2: The Old Farm House

In this episode, M recounts true stories of people who encountered spirits in the stacks.

Throughout history, from ancient times onward, different cultures around the world described trickster entities that thrived on the fear and confusion they brought to humans. 

The Ancient Greeks documented daimones, beings that were watchers of mankind - they weren’t purely evil or purely good. Still, they were powerful. Different Native American and First Nation tribes share stories of trickster spirits whose purpose was to teach lessons, and in the modern world, parapsychologists describe entities that feed off the fear of humans. 

Whether you want to call them demons, tricksters or spirits, the question arises - what exactly are these entities, and why do they feed off causing confusion and fear? In this episode, M recounts true stories of people who believe they encountered these entities. 

Story 1: The Forest Encounters

Story 2: There’s a trickster spirit in my house

Story 3: The Pukwudgie

Story 4: Trickster

Story 5: Trickster in the Kitchen

Story 6: Native American Spirit or Demon?
