Hey, it's Michelle Newman, and this week's five calls include one of the strangest images we've ever gotten on this show. (This episode was formerly named "Real Ghost Stories For Folding Laundry - Mixtape Vol. 6").
Brittany calls in about waking from a nightmare and crawling toward her front door, only to find four translucent men pressed against the bay windows, tapping deliberately as if they knew she could see them, one trailing behind, pushing a bicycle. Her legs turned to lead as she crawled past them to reach the stairs, and when her family checked outside, there was no possible way anyone could have left the area unseen.
Jimmy, who's spent years working on paranormal television productions, calls in about a haunted Chicago tattoo shop where he went looking for tools in a pitch-black basement. Backing away from a coworker, he felt himself step directly onto someone's feet and get shoved from behind, despite being completely alone. A psychic later identified that exact stairwell as a heavily trafficked supernatural corridor.
Yamari returns with a story from a post-breakup hike with her mom and sister, where the sound of distant drumming followed them along the trail as darkness fell. Research that night revealed a local legend about a woman murdered on that mountain alongside her husband, said to still play the drums searching for him.
Michelle shares her own story from a road trip stop at a Best Western in Fresno, California, waking to find a man hovering inches from her face before he vanished instantly, and her boyfriend at the time admitting he'd seen the exact same thing moments earlier.
And Elana from Edmonton, Alberta, closes the episode with two encounters tied to real loss. As a teenager visiting her biological mother in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, she woke paralyzed to a young boy asking why she cried so much at night, a boy she later learned matched the documented description of a child murdered in that same house years before. Years later, fully awake and unable to move, she watched her deceased grandmother appear seated in a rocking chair, speak softly in Cree, and press a warm hand to her shoulder before the room returned to normal.
