Hey, it's Michelle Newman, and this week's five calls go from playful to genuinely disturbing.
Greg from Los Angeles calls in about a trip to Soho House Dean Street in London, where an off feeling built all night until he and his husband explored an eerily empty floor. Descending the stairs afterward, Greg caught sight of shoes just out of view, turned around, and had his feet yanked completely out from under him, going fully horizontal before dropping to the ground. A bruise on his backside lasted the entire trip and vanished the moment his flight landed back in California.
Phil from Chattanooga returns with two separate stories. The first involves a former funeral home in Rome, Georgia, where he found two decades-old embalming coffins still sitting in the basement, coffins that had been used repeatedly for cremation services years earlier. Passed along to a Halloween spook house, those same coffins caused actors to refuse to enter them, citing doors slamming and objects moving whenever they got close.
Rachel from Myrtle Beach calls in about paranormal activity that has followed her since she was four years old, starting with her late great-grandmother appearing at her brother's window. Decades later, her first sleep paralysis episode left three unexplained scratches on her makeup vanity, and describing the experience to her mother caused the wall behind her to visibly darken, as if something were opening. Her most recent episode, just three weeks before this call, involved something demonic whispering in her ear. Words she refuses to repeat.
Cindy Ketron from Avon, Indiana returns with an update on Little Rachel, the child spirit who followed her home from the Whispers Estate after Cindy left gifts at Christmas. Cindy, a retired Indiana State Police employee, says an EVP investigation on her birthday helped confirm Rachel's continued presence, and that Rachel now possesses one of her dolls.
Phil returns again with a second, far darker story about a property he purchased in Georgia made up of three identical houses. Within a single year, one tenant was beaten to death with a hammer, another died of a fentanyl overdose, a third suffered a disabling stroke, and the leaseholder died just three weeks after being given six weeks to live. A neighbor eventually warned Phil that no one nearby would set foot on the property. Phil sold it, disclosed everything to the buyer, and the new owner suffered a permanent medical emergency two months after closing.
And Lauren closes the episode with a story from a Round Rock, Texas apartment, where a roommate brought home his late brother's sentimental belongings after a sudden drowning death. That same night, Lauren's younger sister fled the apartment in the early morning hours, terrified by sounds coming from an empty kitchen. In the weeks that followed, every cabinet in that kitchen, including ones too high to reach, would be found open with no one home and every door locked.
