What's that at the foot of my bed? It's spooky and cute. I'm pretty sure it's dead. It's coming this way. Wait a minute, hey, I'm ghosted!

I lost my days.

Oh, hey, boo! It's me, Rose.

I've got an episode today with Cara Clank, who's a hilarious comedian and writer,

she hosts a podcast called That's Messed Up, a very popular podcast about true crime and law

and order SVU. And I love Cara so much. We talk about a really terrifying haunted doll

that I had never heard of. That is named Norman. If you haven't heard of Norman, look him up.

Very scary. There's a video that I found on YouTube of him moving on his own.

It gave me nightmares. Speaking of, I wanted to read a story. You know, I love it when people send me stories.

It makes my day, it makes my life better every time I get a little email notification I ghosted by Rose at gmail.com.

And this one comes from Patrick. Thank you, Patrick. Patrick tells me that sometime around 2003,

my now ex-wife Jess and I were living in a condo in Fullerton, California. Oh my god, I lived in Fullerton at one point.

Though the condo was small, the bedroom was large and doubled as an office and music studio.

One night, Jess awoke to the sound of our dog zero, growling. Jess looked where the dog's attention was focused

and saw in the far left corner of the bedroom, what she later described as, quote,

an entity that appeared more stretched and tall than a human. The body was a white mist, but it was contained in a form.

The figure was hunched over a piece of recording equipment I had just purchased.

After a moment, the figure kinda looked at Jess, stood up straight and moved toward the door at the far right of the room.

Jess glanced down at zero, who was still growling and tracking the movement of the figure.

Just before reaching the door, the figure faded and disappeared. Jess nudged me and said,

did you see that? But I had been soundly asleep and I barely responded.

The next day was busy and we didn't discuss it. That night, I was awakened by zero, growling.
