Hey, it's Michelle Newman, and this week's five calls include one of the most unusual experiences we've ever received on this show.
Sabrina Wu, calling in again from New York, shares experiences from her ex's apartment, constant footsteps overhead despite being on the top floor, unexplained baby crying from the ceiling, and a bathroom light that flared unnaturally bright the moment she walked past it during a night already spent deep in ghost story research.
Brett calls in about living beside a school playground, where the familiar daytime sounds of children playing continue to echo across the field at 11pm and midnight, long after the lights go dark and only teenagers occasionally pass through, a detail his dog reacts to as well.
Jessa, a medical courier in Pennsylvania, calls in about a delivery to a nursing home built on the site of a former school, where a glass door slammed shut on its own and a bright white light sped toward the entrance exactly like headlights, only facing the wrong direction to belong to any real vehicle, before vanishing entirely in seconds.
Linda, a 73-year-old lifelong restaurant worker, shares three separate encounters from her decades in the industry: a smiling man visible only in a bar mirror, a chair that shot across an empty floor with an audible scrape and no one nearby, and a woman in a red dress who faded from a corner booth as Linda approached to tell her they were closing.
And Khyelle from Los Angeles closes the episode with a lengthy account of what he later identified as recurring astral projection, beginning with his eyes and mouth forced into position, full body paralysis, and his consciousness leaving his body accompanied by a loud buzzing sound. Over several months, Khyelle experienced nightly out-of-body travel across the globe and into space, culminating in one deeply unsettling episode where he was forcibly pulled back into his body the instant he attempted to step onto the dark side of the moon, accompanied by an overwhelming sense that he was not meant to see whatever was there.
