Encounters x291 - Urban Legends Experienced in Real Life

If you find yourself shivering indoors, or sweating in the bright, burning sun, outdoors, we promise to deliver a shiver or sweat for a whole other reason… TERROR. The first story in this encounters episode will move you and scare you and introduce you to a man who we fully welcome to haunt us from the other side. The second story reminds us that demons, while horrifying, have some cliche lines, like “I’ll always come for you.” That might need some refreshing rewrites — but to be very clear, we are not mocking those pesky demons, because we would never! The third story is accompanied by some rain background sound and a life-sized Barbie. And the fourth and final story led our ghostess, Sabrina, to some light… it’s not terrifying!

This is what happens when you get lost in the rabbit hole of paranormal stories. Corinne just couldn’t decide what to cover and ends up telling us three of Mexico’s wildest stories! First, a few of the worlds strongest priests gather to exorcise the entire country of Mexico from evil. Then we venture to the Casa de Lamentos to learn about how a man named Tadeo went from wonderful husband to a serial killer hoping to resurrect the dead. Lastly and quite possibly the most witchy and confounding of them all, Corinne covers La Casa de Brujas, the Witch’s House, where a witch pulled off both magical and medical miracles by channeling an ancient aztec warrior.

One time our listeners decided to spend the evening at the theatre. It was meant to be a lively event with laughter and plenty of snacks… it turned into a twilight zone-esque nightmare where they got lost in a time warp, the upside down and narrowly found their way back to reality. If that were not enough, a witch cursed Jeanyn’s family and attempted to sabotage a familial reconciliation. But that is not all… no, because this is an encounters episode and we would be remiss to not share a haunting encounter that WE, Two Girls One Ghost caused and also posit the question… who is the little girl that joins you as a midnight pisser?  Have ghost stories of your own?
