Summary
Welcome, to our penultimate Dark Minisode of the season.
After a brutal divorce leaves a listener isolated and desperate for somewhere to begin again, their only option is to move into a cheap, fully furnished rental on Lea Park Vale—only to discover that some old houses do not stay empty for long. What begins as a fresh start, soon becomes a slow descent into dread, as the line between fear and reality begins to erode. In this account, a historic home with a hidden past seems less like a refuge, and more like a a danger, reminding us that sometimes the places meant to shelter us...are the very places waiting to pull us under.
Stay safe,
Kevin.

| 0:00.0 | Paranormal experiences don't really work to a time scale, |
| 0:10.9 | and therefore we invite you to listen to a dark minisode Hello everyone and welcome to the penultimate dark minisode of season 23 and I will say it again |
| 0:34.1 | till I'm blue in the face but this season has sincerely been the quickest season |
| 0:39.2 | I've ever known. Now, arguably, that's down to all of the changes that we've put in, such as |
| 0:45.4 | new theme music for the main show, we've got the forums going on the Patreon, we've added a new |
| 0:51.2 | show to the Patreon, so there's been lots of changes, as you know, such as changing back to biweekly episodes of Dark Realms, the final one of the season, which is coming this week. |
| 1:02.7 | On a personal level, there have been several backstage, shall we say, conversations with my network in regards to changing the advertising schedule so that |
| 1:12.8 | we can get you to the stories quicker for the main episode. So perhaps it's simply being busy |
| 1:18.0 | with the show that's made it appear to go so quick. Every season I say, this seems to have flown, |
| 1:25.0 | but it literally feels like I started this season last week. |
| 1:29.7 | And I guess if I step back, that's a really good sign for me, |
| 1:34.3 | because it means there was a lack of enthusiasm clearly at some point. |
| 1:39.6 | That's been fully regained during this season, |
| 1:42.8 | because I have enjoyed this season like no other. |
| 1:46.7 | I felt a sense of freedom, a sense of building rapport with you guys, |
| 1:51.1 | and although it's obviously impossible for me to know each and every one of your individual tastes, |
| 1:56.8 | I think collectively we're starting to get to know each other and form a stronger bond than we've ever had. |
| 2:02.9 | Now obviously that can't happen without you guys, so I owe you guys a huge thank you. |
| 2:09.6 | So genuinely from the bottom of my heart, absolutely thank you for making this season my personal favorite season I've ever done. So thank you. |
| 2:21.0 | Now before we start today's Minnesota, a quick reminder that you can still submit your |
| 2:25.1 | experiences for our next season. Simply go to the show notes and you'll see submit my experience. |
| 2:31.7 | Or go direct to the dark paranormal.com and click submit my experience there. |
