This week’s Encounters episode is a full-on paranormal kitchen sink episode. Anything goes as we dive into listener stories of glitchy realities, accidental séances, demonic laughter, doppelgängers, and near-death visions. Oh, and our podcast may have helped save one listener’s life during an ER visit.

Stories include:

An old house where an entity throws objects, fills rooms with laughter, and appears as a doppelgänger.

A series of near-death and out-of-body experiences that raise questions about timeline jumps, missing memories, and whether reality quietly rebooted.

A sleep-talking incident that casually invokes Bloody Mary at 3 a.m. while the speaker is dreaming peacefully elsewhere.

A moment where our podcast played an unexpected role in a real-life medical emergency.

We’re diving into the incredible story of Madam C.J. Walker, a woman who overcame unimaginable adversity to become America’s first self-made female millionaire and build a legacy that is still alive today. From her groundbreaking impact on Black entrepreneurship to the creation of the iconic Walker Theatre in Indianapolis, we explore how her vision, resilience, and determination helped create opportunities for generations of Black Americans.

Inside the historic Walker Theatre, staff and attendees report shadow figures, phantom footsteps, and a powerful presence that many believe is Madam Walker herself, still watching over the space she dreamed into existence.

Have you ever been mistaken for someone else? Or seen your roommate at home when they were actually at work? We’re digging into stories of doppelgängers, mimics, and familiar faces doing deeply unsettling things. Small moments of confusion escalate into full-on paranormal experiences, and just when you think it can’t get weirder, we wrap things up by examining photos listeners sent in of Corinne’s potential real-life doppelgängers.

Stories include:

A child terrorized by glowing red eyes outside a basement window, followed by a shocking realization that something was impersonating him inside the house

A fiancé who appears, speaks, and lets the dog out… despite never leaving his upstairs office

A haunted warship filled with shadow figures, unexplained pressure on bunks, and repeated sightings of someone who isn’t awake

Years-long doppelganger sightings in small towns where strangers confidently use the wrong name

Lake Lanier looks like the perfect summer escape—but beneath the surface, something is very, very wrong. In this episode, we revisit one of the most haunted and deadly lakes in America, where swimmers report invisible hands pulling them under, boats flip without warning, and an entire town sits frozen beneath the water. 

We first covered Lake Lanier nearly five years ago, focusing on the paranormal—but we missed something crucial. In this episode, we’re correcting that by diving into the erased history of Oscarville, a thriving Black community violently displaced and later buried beneath the lake.

This is a very special Anti-Valentine’s Day episode. Sabrina, joined by Meredith from the Rattled & Shook podcast, spent the night inside the infamous Room 311 at the Read House Hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Built on land marked by tragedy and violence, the Read House is known for its glamorous historic guests—and its long, unsettling history of paranormal activity.

We dive into the hotel’s past, the brutal murder tied to Room 311, and the lingering spirit said to remain there. Meredith and Sabrina share their eerie interactions with the room’s resident presence, which started off quiet but did not stay that way. So much unfolded the following night that we had to record an additional segment afterward to cover our new findings and connect the paranormal dots. 👻💔

Virtual tour of room 311 here

We love paranormal games almost as much as we fear them, and our listeners have plenty of examples as to why. We’re sharing stories of homemade Ouija boards, late night rituals that tempt the spirits, and “harmless” sleepover games that spiral wildly out of control, because some games don’t end when you think they do. 

Stories include:

A Queen of Spades ritual that results in a terrifying mirror apparition and months of unexplained activity afterward

An unseen presence that roams a house freely—using the bathroom, stomping down hallways, and playing the piano

A Red Door Yellow Door session that unleashes a faceless, suited entity with icy hands

A homemade Ouija board that triggers nightmares, sleep paralysis, broken objects, and a full-on church exorcism

We’re unpacking one of the most infamous paranormal conspiracies in U.S. history: the Philadelphia Experiment. During World War II, the Navy allegedly attempted to make a warship invisible—and instead triggered something terrifying. After a flash of green light, possible time travel and teleportation, the sailors who survived returned mentally shattered and physically disfigured.

Serving as a chilling prequel to last week’s episode on the Montauk Project, this story spirals into secret experiments, an unsettling connection between the two, and a possible bridge through time. Was it all a hoax—or did an event in 1980 help complete a 1940s experiment? 🤯

This week, we’re traveling across Asia and diving into some of the most unsettling paranormal experiences we’ve ever heard. Our listeners share spine-chilling stories rooted in cultural folklore and lived terror—tales of spirits who predict the future, impersonate loved ones, and inflict physical harm. Between the laughter, the disbelief, and the full-body chills, this episode reminded us why some ghost stories stay with you long after the episode ends.

Stories include:

An encounter in rural Pakistan where a possessed girl speaks in a jinn’s voice—and accurately predicts a devastating medical diagnosis

A haunted family home in Cebu where something mimics loved ones so perfectly it carries on 20-minute conversations

A terrifying childhood experience in Vietnam involving a crying woman in a church, prophetic dreams, and a ghostly warning that may have saved a life

A Malaysian family spirit passed down through generations, bound to a dagger that mysteriously disappears, reappears, and may be choosing its next owner

What’s stranger than Stranger Things? The story that inspired the show — an alleged government program called the Montauk Project. This week, we’re putting on our tinfoil hats and diving into the conspiracy that claims a quiet Long Island military base was the site of secret experiments involving psychics, mind control, time travel, and something that may have torn a hole in reality itself. Between whispered cover-ups, chilling testimonies, and a mysterious radar tower that still looms over the landscape, this story feels like sci-fi.

Was the Montauk Project a real extension of documented government experiments, or did one story spiral into a full-blown paranormal legend complete with monsters and memory wipes?
