Welcome back to episode 9! We’ve got a packed house this week with six chilling tales: four curated from the depths of Reddit and two harrowing submissions from our very own listeners. Grab a drink, dim the lights, and let’s get into it.

This Week’s Stories:

• The Ghost of Julia: We start with Reddit user SpookyMoth2, who shares a haunting account of being followed by a spirit attached to their sister.
• Red Door, Yellow Door: Masada831 takes us through a firsthand experience with the infamous mind game. Some doors should stay closed.
• The Man in The Shadows: Listener Sarah wrote us to share her terrifying, real-life encounter with a persistent stalker.
• The Thing Wearing My Husband: Reddit user Proof_Poem3707 shares a bone-chilling account of realizing her husband might actually be an SW (flesh pedestrian, dermis slow jogger).
• The Conjuring in Real Life: Listener Annalise recounts a paranormal experience so intense it mirrors the cinematic scares of The Conjuring.
• The Trilogy Continues (Part 2): We wrap up with the highly anticipated second installment from I_go_by_kk. Last week we heard one side—now, we see the story through the husband’s eyes.

Today, we have a little history lesson on the absurdity that was MK Ultra.  Then Mena delivers an absolute mindfuck of a story that she wrote!  Followed by the first installment of a very intense story by Jacob The Narrator, AKA Reddit user Turbulent-tale-8738.  The final story is a true one that had us rolling from Angel R!

In Episode 5, we kick things off by checking into one of the most haunted locations in the U.S.: the infamous Jefferson Palace Hotel. From shadowy figures and phantom children to deeply unsettling encounters reported by guests and staff alike, this place has earned its terrifying reputation. We end it with a true experience by a paranormal investigator named Adam!

Then we have a truly unsettling story from Reddit user Donavan221, followed by insane stories by Shane 1 and Shane 2!
