Chris from The Wandering Road podcast shares his family's terrifying experiences in both his childhood homes in The Bronx and Queens, NYC, where mysterious entities threatened and terrorized them for years.

• Childhood encounters with small shadowy creatures called "duendes" in their Bronx apartment
• Strange phenomenon in their Queens home including doors slamming and electronics turning on by themselves
• Heavy footsteps in the attic and mysterious knocking on doors with no one there
• A growling entity outside Chris's bedroom door at 4am
• Chris's sister's "imaginary friend" named Andy who wore a 1920s sailor suit
• Chris's aunt being thrown out of the bathroom
• Chris's mother getting attacked while blessing the house
• The spirit of an old woman threatened to kill Chris's family in his mother's dream
• Family members' voices would call family members' names when no one was home
• Nazi paraphernalia found in the attic seemed to confirm the rumor that previous owners practiced occult rituals
• These terrifying experiences led Chris to a spiritual awakening

URGENT: Our friend Courtney from this recent episode needs your help; all you have to do is click on this link to her IG post, "like" the IG post (not THIS post, but the IG post at the link below👇), so she can win her pitch contest and secure funding:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIRODSRsQdP Thank you!

Courtney, the mutual friend who originally connected Becky and Diana, joins us from Munich to share her unexplainable telekinesis experience. Her story bridges the supernatural with the power of manifestation, showing how intense emotions might literally move objects—and lives—in unexpected directions.

In this episode, we: 

• Speculate on the neurological basis for Courtney and Diana's telekinesis phenomena,
• Hear about a mysterious (angelic?) encounter at New York's lesbian bar Cubbyhole after another frightening (demonic?) encounter prompted her first visit there,
• Examine manifestation as a way of life—from moving objects with her mind, to moving to another country, Courtney's manifestation game is suspiciously efficacious,
• Develop the signature "Have a Spooky Day" cocktail, to be served at Courtney's new business, Frau Bar, Munich's only dedicated space for the FLINTA community (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, transgender, agender).

Please consider supporting or sharing Courtney's crowdfunding campaign to open Frau Bar at https://www.startnext.com/flinta-bar-munich/ds/d/sn-erlebnisse/sn-events/vip-soft-opening-i435890.html.

JJ of Southern Demonology shares his fascinating journey from growing up in a haunted log cabin in rural Tennessee to encountering far more sinister spirits in Japan. His experiences reveal striking cultural differences in how ghosts and demons manifest across different parts of the world.

• Growing up in a 200-year-old log cabin with a ghost named Patrick who would mysteriously open the attic door
• Visiting Aokigahara (Japan's "Suicide Forest") and hearing an unexplainable sound that his companions couldn't detect
• Encountering a terrifying entity in Tokyo that demanded entry by repeating "hairu" directly into his mind
• Explaining the differences between Japanese spirit categories (yurei, yokai, and tsukumogami) and Western demonology
• Sharing his academic knowledge of Judeo-Christian demons, including the evolution of Lilith from Akkadian wind goddess to Jewish folklore
• Experiencing precognitive dreams that predicted future events, always appearing in black and white

What if your soul originated from somewhere beyond Earth? What if consciousness isn't limited to human experience? These are the questions artist and author Jordan Harcourt-Hughes has been exploring through her multifaceted creative practices. 

Jordan of New South Wales, Australia, practices several distinct arts, including writing, metal sculpture, painting, installations, and creative workshops. She started with writing as a child, but abandoned it at 19 when words felt inadequate to express deeper truths. Part of what inspired this artistic blossoming were extreme out-of-body experiences, which led her to believe she may be an extraterrestrial or "star seed." Since then, she uses her artwork to connect with other-dimensional energies and frequencies. Nowadays, Jordan has come full circle: revisiting writing to explore the cosmic themes in her life. Perhaps it's no surprise, then that her novels star a metalsmith who tunes metal to other-world frequencies. As of this writing, Jordan just published the second novel in the series, "High Country."
