Summary

The Haunted Pool Mannequin This week, we dive into two chilling listener submissions that will make you think twice about your next swim or house purchase. Get 60% off the Magic Mind offer with our link https://magicmind.com/bizarremf or code BIZARRE60 upon checkout. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Our first story comes from Baker in Nebraska, who experienced some truly terrifying encounters while working as a lifeguard at what can only be described as a haunted pool facility. From feeling constantly watched while cleaning locker rooms to hearing mysterious conversations and footsteps when alone, Baker's experiences escalated dramatically after the staff started treating their CPR training mannequin, Fred, like a real person. Our second story takes us on a decades-long journey with Tara and her family, spanning from 2001 to 2024 across multiple homes in Texas. What began as a dream house purchase - complete with two acres and a backyard creek - quickly turned into a nightmare when neighbors warned them that "no one stays together in this house." We explore the escalating paranormal activity that seemed to center around Tara's mother, from shadow figures and putrid smells to physical attacks and one of the most unsettling doppelganger encounters we've ever heard. ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.
