A quiet afternoon of homework turns unsettling when a towering human figure appears behind a sheet separating a dining room from the hallway. Gabrielle assumes it's a family member playing a prank, but the figure disappears without footsteps, doors opening, or any obvious explanation.

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.

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.

In 2008, a hunter scouting for an upcoming elk season deep in the Blue Mountains of Washington planned nothing more than a quiet night alone in the wilderness. But after falling asleep on a remote ridge, he woke to a pounding, unexplained headache and struggled to catch his breath. As he tried to figure out what was happening to his body, an eerie whooping call began echoing through the darkness, coming from a large animal that seemed to be challenging him.

In this true scary story, we hear from Andrea. She grew up as the only girl between two brothers in a small, aging home where strange things seemed to follow her from childhood into adulthood. It began with her name being called when no one was there. Later came footsteps on the porch, invisible hands tugging at her feet, and a ceiling fan that moved on its own.
But the most powerful encounters didn’t happen until after tragedy struck her family in 2019. What followed were moments so vivid, so emotional, that she still wonders if it was a dream or an actual visitation. Was it grief? A subconscious coping mechanism? Or was someone she loved still trying to reach her?

In this true scary story, we hear about what started as childhood summers in the remote Allegheny Mountains to solitary camping trips as a young adult. It was there where one man believed he understood the woods of West Virginia. He had the directions and knew the trails. But during one late-night hike back to his car, the forest changed. The insects stopped making noise, and suddenly he heard a large creature chasing after him.
Was it a predator? A legend? Or something far older that still lingers in those mountains?

Some childhood memories never fade, no matter how hard you try to bury them.
In this episode, we hear two chilling true stories told by people who were far too young to understand what they were seeing. The first begins with a single night, a terrifying sound, and glowing red eyes watching from outside a bedroom window, an experience two sisters would not speak about for years. The second unfolds across decades inside a quiet house on the east side of Toledo, Ohio, where a shadowy presence seems tied to one specific room… and one family.
Whether these encounters were warnings, hauntings, or something far darker, both stories share one unsettling truth: some things don’t go away just because you grow up.

In this true scary story, we hear from Tracey. From the time she could walk, she knew something was watching her. What began as a childhood fear followed her through foster homes, adulthood, and motherhood... growing stronger with every major change in her life. As others finally began to witness what she had always felt, the truth became harder to deny: this was definitely not imagination, sensitivity, or coincidence. It was something attached to her family line… and it wasn’t done yet.

In the mid-1990s, JD grew up in a Phoenix apartment where his “imaginary friends” weren’t the playful kind most kids have. He called them The Wallwalkers, strange figures that crawled out of the paint, whispered his name, and sometimes turned on him. Alongside terrifying night terrors and seizures, JD also witnessed cabinets opening on their own, maggots pouring from the carpet, and a pale figure that appeared behind a shower curtain. Was it an overactive imagination, or something far more unsettling?

They describe a vivid encounter with a translucent man in a suit at age nine, repeated glimpses of a woman in white, an apparition that resembled their sister, and other eerie incidents that left lasting fear and changed how Alan sleeps to this day.

What follows in each story defies easy explanation. From unsettling events that left a father and son questioning their own eyes, to a nurse answering calls she could never quite account for, these encounters remind us how the line between the everyday and the unexplainable can vanish in an instant.

Jade grew up in a small Mississippi town, but her childhood was anything but ordinary. From the time she was six years old, she was haunted: scratched by unseen claws, stalked by shadowy figures, and tormented by something with burning red eyes that followed her from childhood into adulthood. It started with whispers in the dark and a figure in the bathroom mirror, but it grew into years of terrifying sleep paralysis, violent encounters, and dreams that felt more like messages from the dead. Jade is still searching for answers, caught between faith and the unrelenting presence that refuses to let her go.

It begins at her then-boyfriend’s childhood home, where she experiences two separate instances of being slapped on the head by an unseen force—while lying against a solid wall. Later, she learns of a man who died tragically nearby, deepening the mystery.
In 2019, during what was meant to be a relaxing river trip in Texas, she wakes in the middle of the night to a terrifying presence she believes was demonic—an encounter so disturbing she’s only spoken of it once since.
Finally, in 2022, while doing laundry in her garage just after her father moved out, she locks eyes with a full-bodied apparition watching her from behind a wall—solid, detailed, and unnervingly curious. These events, together with a sensitivity to energy and spirit, form a haunting timeline of unexplained phenomena doesn't look for, but endures with quiet strength and faith.
