So you're a normal teenager, so you think. Yes, you've seen a few things you think may be paranormal,

and one day you're sat down and told, you won't remember, but when you were young, you had an imaginary

friend. Well, so did many people. But what do you do when, as you grow older, the paranormal things

become more obvious, more obtrusive. And how do you react when later on

you informed your imaginary friend was once a real person? And your imaginary friend once lived there

too, only long before you were born and died in the closet of your very own bedroom,

because those are the questions faced by today's submitter.

Live from Liverpool, the dark paranormal, season 22.

Hello everyone and welcome back to episode 8 of season 22.

Yes, we only have two more episodes of season 22 before we begin our break and then we're back for season 23 in the new year.

And when we come back from our season break for season 23, although the show will feel exactly as the

dark paranormal feels, you will notice the changes, with the sole intention of making your

entire interaction and listening experience with the dark paranormal better.

Our new teaser intro that we've added at the end of season 22 was going to be left until season 23,

but we wanted to do a sort of A-B test, and by all accounts it's very well received.

And the whole point of these changes is so that you can jump into the dark paranormal sooner

with a better listening experience. So we're talking less ads before the show, a different

ambiance when you listen to stories, but one that should shift you to a different place.

This is your show.

And as housekeeper of your show, it is my duty to make sure I do everything I can to make sure your experience is the best it can be.

That's why this show has always been and will always be driven by you and forever in a state

of fluidity.
