True Scary Story

Some people experience one strange moment in their lives, others grow up surrounded by them. From a childhood encounter involving a skeletal face at a bedroom window to years of shadow figures, unseen hands, and voices coming from empty rooms, this episode follows one listener’s lifelong relationship with the unexplained. As an adult, the activity intensifies, focused around a single presence that peers from doorways and vanishes when noticed.

In this true scary story, Evelyn has lived in the same house since early childhood, and for as long as they can remember, something has lived there with them. Strange sounds, unseen movement, animals refusing to enter certain spaces… all leading to one moment that still makes their heart race years later. 
What happened in the middle of an ordinary afternoon shattered every rational explanation and left behind physical proof that something in the house can act with intent.

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 this true creepy story, we hear about the campgrounds that Jacob's family inherited. A place that was made to unplug and relax soon turned into a grounds where the unexplained lingers. Experiences regarding mimics (and potential doppelgängers) from out in the dark woods.
