This week, we open the door to a haunted house with a sinister secret—then meet a friend who might not have been real at all. Next, a listener downloads a strange track on a CD they couldn’t explain. Then, a brush with a neighbor turns far creepier than expected. Finally, a file found that brings more questions than answers for one of our listeners.

From cursed music to trespassing, these stories remind us that sometimes curiosity really does come with a price.
