Summary
Welcome to this week's Dark Minisode.
In today's Dark Minisode, a self-described skeptic with a career built on data, logic, and measurable truth moves into a converted apartment, hoping for a quiet fresh start. But after receiving a small carved figure from a friend as a housewarming gift, her world begins to fracture. Reality becomes malleable, and a growing sense that something in the apartment is watching from just beyond sight becomes more than paranoia. As friendships strain, sleep unravels, and the atmosphere turns increasingly oppressive, this chilling account explores the terrifying possibility that some things brought into our homes may already be carrying something with them, or in this case, they may bring your attention to something else entirely.
Stay safe,
Kevin.

| 0:00.0 | Paranormal experiences don't really work to a time scale, |
| 0:11.5 | and therefore we invite you to listen to a dark mini-sand. |
| 0:30.6 | Thank you. MiniSode Hello everyone and welcome to our second dark minisode of season 24 as always first and foremost a big thank you for everyone who submitted their experiences for this season. |
| 0:38.7 | It's not just a record, it's beyond a record. |
| 0:42.6 | We could arguably stop submissions now and keep going for about five seasons. |
| 0:48.0 | But that does not mean I want you to stop sending your submissions in. |
| 0:52.9 | Because your submission may end up still on this season and yes |
| 0:58.2 | i've just said we have well over 50 submissions of full episode length but as always were a fluid show |
| 1:06.6 | and the right submission will and has found its way onto a new season, each and every season, that we've done the show. |
| 1:15.7 | And that doesn't just go for your main experiences for the main show. |
| 1:20.4 | We want. In fact, we love your shorter experiences. |
| 1:24.6 | For me personally, I revel in the shorter experience. There's something I can't put my finger on about the authenticity they seem to carry. That just keeps me so intrigued in what I'm reading. And although we no longer use this saying on Darkbite for our Patreon's anymore, it's still very apt. |
| 1:46.4 | The length of your paranormal experience is in no way indicative of how truthful nor how |
| 1:52.6 | terrifying that experience was for you. And that's the motto we stand by. When we say if you're |
| 1:59.8 | debating sending something in, read that |
| 2:02.8 | back to yourself. And if you think and you know it was a terrifying experience, we all want to know |
| 2:10.7 | it. And it may end up on dark bites or it may end up on a minisode like today. |
| 2:23.9 | Of course, our patrons received this episode both early and ad free by being a Patreon. |
| 2:29.6 | Now, all the details on becoming a Patreon, along with the additional perks like two shows per week, |
| 2:32.7 | are in the show notes, so go down there and take a look. |
| 2:34.1 | We are giving away a free week trial at the highest tier. And if that's of interest, go down there and click on the relevant |
| 2:39.5 | links. But right now, it's that time of the week where I ask you to find some time for yourself. |
