Scott Powers and Jim Banks certainly do, and they share these spine-tingling moments in our latest episode. We recount our eerie personal experiences, from strange noises to the undeniable sensation of unseen presences. As we plan our investigations of local haunted hotspots like Wolf Mansion and Stagecoach Road, we also reflect on the swift arrival of summer break and the curious wildlife sightings that the pandemic brought our way.
Join us for an unsettling yet humorous look into the paranormal. From the mysterious voices captured during the "Sisters from Different Misters" show, including a deep, disembodied "hey there" and bizarre gremlin-like chattering, to the playful idea of turning these spooky sounds into music, our paranormal encounters keep us on our toes. Each eerie occurrence has us debating whether to call in spiritual help or simply embrace the weirdness as part of our recording adventures.
Prepare for goosebumps as we delve into haunted tales and supernatural stories. We explore the disturbing message received by Merlene, share ghostly activity at Purdue University in Hammond, and recount chilling experiences like a haunted microwave and self-moving bulletin boards. As we wrap up, we reflect on the comforting belief that lost loved ones might be watching over us, and we urge our listeners to like, follow, and share our podcast. Let's keep this thrilling journey alive and growing together!Thank you for giving us a go, and hope you stick with us as we have some really amazing guest on and hole you have a laugh or two but no more than three.
