Summary
Welcome back to a Dark Minisode.
Today, our listener Sam shares a collection of unsettling experiences spanning years of retail work inside a once-enclosed mall and its modern replacement plaza. From motion-activated toys triggering on their own, objects flying across empty stores, and furniture shaking without cause, the strange activity appears to have followed her across multiple workplaces. With corroborating accounts from co-workers and incidents caught on video, this series of eerie yet mischievous encounters raises one question: did something linger after the mall was torn down, did it simply relocate? Or is the mall simply a playground for a colleague's attachment?
Stay safe,
Kevin.
