Tonight’s episode features two unsettling true paranormal stories from people who spent years hoping the activity in their lives would finally stop. Kaylee begins describing terrifying encounters beginning in early childhood: ghostly figures standing at the foot of her bed, crosses mysteriously disappearing, growling outside her room, violent sleep paralysis, and a towering shadow entity that seemed to follow her for years. Even after tattooing a cross onto her body appeared to stop the activity, a psychic medium later warned her that whatever was attached to her was only waiting to come back. Did it return?
The second story takes us deep into the haunted canyons of Wasatch Mountains, where abandoned silver mines, forgotten pioneer graves, and moonlit hiking trails became the perfect location for unexplained encounters. Things like voices echoing through empty mining camps and shadow figures appearing in multiple homes at the exact same time are only the beginning.
Looks like we got a little bit of everything in these true scary stories: shadow people, haunted locations, paranormal encounters, ghost sightings, sleep paralysis, dark entities, and unexplained wilderness horror. Tap "play" if you feel ready. Here we go.

It was replying to them with undeniable accuracy. There was a ghost with them in the room… or maybe something worse.
In these true scary stories, we’ll hear from Vanessa who retells her experience in joining a group of friends to use the ouija board. When that didn’t work, they turned to a ghost box (a spirit communication device), and they were able to contact the other side. Unfortunately for them, the session turned hostile.
In the second story, Kristy tells us about a childhood encounter in a remote house where someone, or something, was moving objects in the dark. It was until much later when Kristy and her cousins learned of the tragic reasons behind the occurrences.

What starts as a routine overnight shift in a downtown Oakland call center slowly turns into a series of chilling, unexplained encounters. We hear about shadowy figures lurking in cubicles and an eerily disturbing presence that crawls across the floor. Even worse, the experiences intensify as the workplace changes locations. Even new offices bring new horrors: strange atmospheres, unexplainable shapes, and something that seems aware. This is a firsthand account of persistent, escalating paranormal activity in places meant to feel ordinary: your everyday workplace.You can get these ad-free through ScaryPlus.com free for 14 days, then 4.99 per month.
