Summary

Legend:

A spirit visits two siblings multiple times a week for several months during their highschool years. Neither one of them knew it was happening to the other.

Background:

Comedy and Improv performers, writers and producers, Liz and Craig Cackowski were both visited by something almost nightly for over a year when they were in highschool. It visited them in nearly the identical way several nights a week. They never spoke of it to anyone until 10 years later when they were both out with friends telling ghost stories and Liz found out that her brother had been visited by the same spectral being that haunted her 8 years after him.

Thanks for coming back to Listen Our Show. We're doing super great. We want to thank our listeners.

0:03.8

We've got over 80,000 downloads so far and we just want to thank everybody for sticking with us.

0:08.5

We are particularly grateful for the positive reviews on iTunes and just want to let you know that

0:12.4

we're still just starting out and trying to improve our show with each episode and

0:15.7

yes, I'm addressing the two or three negative ones right now, but I will not address them directly.

0:20.5

Because I don't negotiate with terrorists.

0:23.2

Ultimately, we're hoping to generate some income from this project so we can hire some help.

0:27.4

You know, people that can help us put our show together and also reach a goal of ours of being

0:31.5

able to produce it weekly instead of every other week. If you're a fan, you can help us out immensely

0:37.1

by spreading the word about our show and telling everyone you know how to find, download, and listen

0:41.5

to us. And meanwhile, we're going to keep doing our best to bring you new and interesting content.

0:46.9

Before we get on to tonight's episode, which there's a little footnote about that too,

0:54.4

We would be remiss if we didn't mention that a new expedition just went to the Millier

0:59.2

toll to look for Amelia Earhart's plane. If this is the first episode of the show you're hearing,

1:04.0

or you haven't heard our Amelia Earhart special, you might not know why I would want to mention that right

1:07.6

now, but we did a two-part show on Amelia Earhart's disappearance. And initially, we thought that was

1:14.4

going to be a single episode and we would just talk about it for 45 or 50 minutes and it turned

1:18.6

into this whole big thing. And it's a super fascinating case to us. So this group that we did not cover

1:24.1

in that show has gone back to the Millier toll because they say that late last year,

1:29.5

they found parts of her plane there. Now, if you haven't heard our Amelia special, I'm not going to

1:33.4

get too deep into it here because I don't want to be a spoiler for anyone that hasn't heard it.
