Joshua Citarella returns once again to investigate the mysterious phenomena of The Psychic Staring (the feeling that you are being watched). Have you ever felt eyes burning in the back of your head, only to turn around and notice somebody watching you from behind? That is this effect at work, or at least some people believe it is, including psychologist Edward B. Titchener.

While visiting his father as a teenager, William witnesses three green lights emerge from the forest and come towards him. He describes the feeling of being stalked and overcome like prey by these lights. Years later, he thinks this may have something to do with the dark emotional state he was going through at the time of this experience.

Episode 79: The Chicken Whackers Pt. 2

A man named Luke originally reached out to the show on behalf of his younger brother. His brother Keegan left home to hitchhike and travel the country, which eventually turned into living on the street for years. When the family finally got Keegan off the street, he had many stories, but there was one in particular that he was nervous and afraid to discuss, involving a mysterious group called "The Chicken Whackers".
This story was very different from our normal submissions, which is why we liked it. This first part is mostly Keegan's backstory, what it's like living on the street, and how dangerous it can be.
Part 2 will be out in just a few days.
