This week’s Encounters episode is all about the paranormal gifts – the objects and, potentially the curses, we inherit. From haunted chairs and spooky mirrors passed down through generations, to psychic grandmas, and ghostly grandfathers waving their missing limbs from beyond the veil, these stories prove that family ties don’t end in the grave.

We’re getting into:

A haunted mirror in Australia hosts a spirit girl who walks into the glass…

A great-grandmother’s chair brings something spooky home — but was it really her in the TV reflection?

A phone rings at 11:55pm on a birthday — exactly one year after someone joked about “heaven getting a phone.”

A young woman connects with the ghost of Alice… repeatedly, across states, dreams, and decades.

A Peruvian family lineage of psychics and shamans leads to elf sightings, Ouija chaos, and ghosts trying to ride piggyback.

Whether it’s ghost girls in mirrors or spirits following your bloodline, this episode will have you side-eyeing that antique your aunt just gave you. Some things are passed down — and sometimes the spirits refuse to leave. 🕯️
