In this edition of Freaky Friday, we hear from listeners about their haunted childhood homes, a possible UFO sighting in the Rockies, hear an audio clip that sounds eerily like a voice from beyond the grave, and more.

Ellen's family got some bad news at the end of February when the Pennsylvania attorney general's office reviewed the case again and still supports suicide as her cause of death despite all the evidence. Her parents told CBS News they were disgusted and disappointed by the finding. The Greenbergs are still in the process of suing Philadelphia, trying to change Ellen’s manner of death from suicide to homicide or undetermined.

We've included a link to her family's petition at the top of our show notes. The petition also includes ways to get in touch with Attorney General Josh Shapiro and demand that his office re-open her case.

And are they hiding out waiting to be discovered to this very day?
