James and a friend were walking through the woods near their home in Thundersley, Essex, when they encountered a strange child in tattered Victorian clothing, peering at them from behind a tree. For years it was just a creepy story they’d tell at parties. But then, James found a book about Essex hauntings that revealed the dark history of those woods and made them rethink who they'd seen that night.

Then, we hear from Marque, a volunteer at the notoriously haunted Rhode Center for the Arts in Kenosha, Wisconsin. One night, he entered the basement looking for a prop but found something else instead: a shadow figure standing in the doorway, blocking his way out. When a friend later asked what he'd do if it followed him home, Marque laughed and said that he wished it would. That wish was granted.

Mitaya grew up on a vast stretch of land in Jasper, Georgia, at the base of the Appalachian Mountains. During her fall break from school, she broke her arm, leaving her with little to do but spend long stretches of time alone outside. Over the course of that week, she began noticing strange phenomena in the sky. On the final night of her break, she was woken up by two bright lights outside her bedroom window. She tried to ignore them and go back to sleep, but what happened next is something she still can’t explain to this day. And soon after, an article in the local newspaper suggested she wasn’t the only one who had experienced something unexplainable in Jasper that night.

When Neil was in college studying film, he lived with four roommates in a ramshackle old house affectionately called The Hubcap House, named for the found hubcaps that lined the front yard. The Hubcap House was full of life and creativity - the last place you’d expect something terrifying to happen. But one night, Neil awoke to a presence joining him in his bedroom. He believed his experience was original until years later, when an unexpected conversation at work made him realize he wasn’t the only one who had been visited by this entity.

In this very special episode, Betsy Sodaro and Marcy Jarreau from A Funny Feeling Podcast share their own firsthand encounters with the unexplained. Betsy recounts a ski trip to Summit County, Colorado, where an otherwise normal Airbnb became the setting for something she still can’t fully explain when a disembodied voice breaks the silence in the middle of the night. Marcy follows with stories from several apartments she’s lived in over the years, from Louisiana to Los Angeles, where strange occurrences seemed to follow her no matter where she moved.

When Joseph turned 10 years old, his summer vacation began like any other - long, hot days spent playing with his cousins. But then, things took a turn for the strange. A hooded figure appeared night after night outside Joseph’s window, and then something far stranger - perhaps not of this world - appeared outside his family’s home. Whatever it was seemed to stick with him for years, returning later as an owl with an intelligence that felt beyond natural.

The night before leaving the US to start a new life in Thailand, Brock had one more run-in with the sleep paralysis that had plagued him for years. Only this time, something was different. Instead of the familiar feelings of dread and the slow, deliberate sounds of something inching closer, he finally saw what had been stalking him in the dark. As he lay frozen, the figure rose taller than the ceiling, its inhuman features locked onto him as it reached for his feet, forcing Brock to confront the presence he’d spent years trying to ignore.

Rick and Sheri’s home in the Mojave desert was a peaceful place, until the day a stray dog appeared on the property. They took him in and named him Buddy. Buddy was a source of warmth and companionship, though his arrival seemed to stir something within the house. They began catching whiffs of cigarette smoke, finding objects knocked to the floor, and noticing their belongings moved from one room to another. Out on her horse rides through the property, Sheri began to see strange, geometric shapes shimmering through the desert air. One day, two strangers showed up on their doorstep with a story that connected every strange thing that happened — and hinted at what might still be there.

Out of the blue, Lisa feels an unshakable pull to uproot her family of six from their comfortable suburban life and renovate a run-down cabin on a plot of land in Modjeska Canyon, a remote community of just 600 people. Once they settled in, strange things started happening - sightings of shadowy figures, sudden illnesses, and a newfound obsession with transforming the property by hand. Later, Lisa learned about Madame Modjeska, the land’s namesake, and the uncanny ways in which their stories seemed to intertwine.
