Ep 268: Your True Halloween Stories II – Part 2
“So I believe that through my work, I’ve experienced incredibly positive things. I’ve experienced the veil very, very thin, and I’ve experienced what I would call angelic visitations. But if I believe in that, then I have to believe in the other.”
Description:
We hope your sleep has recovered after last week's round of creepy and unsettling accounts. Now, we aim to disquiet your peace with another three! Our first story comes from Megan, whose family has a history of experiencing items showing up in unexpected places. But when a letter is delivered to a vulnerable location, we wonder if it came from someone still Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Note. Our next guest, Chad, has stories showing that growing up in Ohio can be Weird on Both Ends, with High Strangeness in the Middle. In the final narrative, Rachal, a Hospice social worker, had a patient whose reconnection with a Life Leech proved to be an exhausting experience. Join us if you dare for Part 2 of Your True Halloween Stories II, and rest easy if your life is pleasantly unremarkable. 😈
Location:
The village of Ada, Ohio, where Chad had his brushes with High Strangeness.
