Welcome to Forum.

I'm Mina Kim.

Spooked, your favorite podcast about the mysterious, the inexplicable, the supernatural. It's back for another scary season. And host, Snap Judgments, Glenn Washington, is with me once again to hear your stories about the encounters and events that left you with the chills or wondering if you could believe your eyes.

Glenn, it's so good to have you back. I really loved the last time we did this.

It's so good to be back. It really is. Our producer, Caroline, actually pulled one of the listener

calls from the show we did two years ago on Friday the 13th. It was from listener Sophia in Albany.

I have a story that happened about 10, 15 years ago. My twin sister and I were traveling in Europe,

and we were in Vienna and Austria, staying in, all the hotels are old, obviously. And we were sleeping right next to each other kind of

european style and she got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of night and it woke me up and

i was like oh you know i see the light on she comes back to bed and i close my eyes and i see this

person like in my mind's eye it's dark in the room he's not you know you open your eyes and not there, but in your mind's eye, he's this evil, evil person, like a man in the, like, right-hand corner of the room. And so I just closed my eyes back again, and I said, get out of here, leave immediately, you know. I don't believe in these things, but I thought maybe that would work. So it did. So the next morning, we're having breakfast. And I said, I don't know, why did you like me up last night? And she said, oh, I have this really bad dream. And I was like, what was your dream? She's like, well, there was this guy in our room. And he was really evil. I swear to you, this is true. And I said, where was he in the room?

And she's like, he was in that corner.

And I'm like, oh, my gosh.

All right, listeners.

If you've had something weird happened to you or a scary story, we'd love to hear it.
