Hey, it's Michelle Newman, and this week's five calls include one of the most physically unexplainable moments this show has ever received. (This episode was formerly called "Real Ghost Stories For Your Morning Commute")
Leah from California calls in about waking at 3 or 4am to find a man in Victorian or Edwardian dress sitting in her desk chair. When she waved her hand through him, he dissolved into the air like scattering dust, gone completely by the time she turned the light on.
Beth from rural Kentucky calls in about a baptism photographed on instant film in the early '80s, long before digital editing existed. Across a sequence of photos, an unusually tall, long-haired figure appears standing among the congregation, moves position between shots, and vanishes entirely by the final photo. No one who attended the baptism remembers seeing him.
Yamari from Lancaster, Pennsylvania calls in about a sixth-grade sleepover Ouija board session that spelled out "axe, killed, woman" after being mocked for inactivity, followed by every candle in the sealed basement extinguishing at once and a shadow figure appearing above an unlit fireplace, holding something raised overhead. Days later, after the board was torn apart and thrown into a dam, Yamari found it fully reassembled on a nearby picnic table.
Nikki from Cleveland, Ohio calls in about seeing a large dark figure as a child, dismissed by her mother despite overhearing that same mother later admit fear of something behind her on the phone. As an adult, Nikki turned around while doing dishes to find a tall black mass staring back, one she felt communicate genuine surprise at being seen before flying directly into the wall.
Yvonne from the Philippines returns with two stories about her late sister Trisha, who died in infancy from chickenpox before Yvonne was born. In the first, Yvonne heard her name whispered clearly beside her ear the same day her family realized they'd forgotten Trisha's birthday. In the second, years later, Yvonne felt three distinct finger flicks on her arm while alone in a room, the last one hard enough to hear and feel, followed by a dream in which her sister told her to look behind her, revealing Yvonne's own body beside a pool.
