Summary

Tonight’s episode features two unsettling true paranormal stories from people who spent years hoping the activity in their lives would finally stop. Kaylee begins describing terrifying encounters beginning in early childhood: ghostly figures standing at the foot of her bed, crosses mysteriously disappearing, growling outside her room, violent sleep paralysis, and a towering shadow entity that seemed to follow her for years. Even after tattooing a cross onto her body appeared to stop the activity, a psychic medium later warned her that whatever was attached to her was only waiting to come back. Did it return?
The second story takes us deep into the haunted canyons of Wasatch Mountains, where abandoned silver mines, forgotten pioneer graves, and moonlit hiking trails became the perfect location for unexplained encounters. Things like voices echoing through empty mining camps and shadow figures appearing in multiple homes at the exact same time are only the beginning.
Looks like we got a little bit of everything in these true scary stories: shadow people, haunted locations, paranormal encounters, ghost sightings, sleep paralysis, dark entities, and unexplained wilderness horror. Tap "play" if you feel ready. Here we go.

0:00.0	She said it was kind of mocking me, laughing, and saying, she thinks I'm gone and things
0:10.4	might be better right now, but I will be back eventually.
0:15.8	For one woman, the paranormal began before she could even speak.
0:19.5	And for another man, it started with footsteps
0:21.4	circling a tent deep in the Wasatch Mountains. Both believe that the encounters would stop
0:26.2	with time if they were wrong. My name is Edwin. And here are Kayle's and Ethan's true, scary stories.
0:40.3	One of my first memories of seeing a ghost was when I was four or five years old at my
0:48.3	grandparents' house. I was spending the night with my aunt at the time.
1:00.4	I remember laying in her bed and looking down the hallway and seeing a almost a cowboy-like shadow standing in the doorway down the hall a little bit.
1:13.6	It was just a shadow. I couldn't see a face or clothing, anything like that, just kind of like a silhouette.
1:21.6	I knew it wasn't anyone who was in the house at the time, so I automatically got scared.
1:30.3	And I covered up my eyes with the blanket, and when I pulled the blanket back down, he was gone.
1:37.3	I remember years later after that, telling ghost stories kind of with my aunt and my mom and my aunt telling a story about how she saw that same cowboy silhouette in that same house around the same time too.
1:58.0	Another time was when I was 10 years old, I was sleeping in my room.
2:05.6	I remember just waking up in the middle of the night and there was a little boy standing at the edge of my bed.
2:13.4	He was dressed in all white, but he was all scraped up and you could tell there were like
2:20.9	fresh cuts, cuts and bruises all over his face and arms.
2:26.0	He didn't say anything, but I just remember him looking really sad.
2:33.8	Same thing, kind of with the cowboy I got super scared, and I covered up my eyes
2:39.1	with my blanket. And then when I pulled him back down, he was gone. I just remember I screamed
2:47.7	and screamed to my mom and made her come into my room for the rest of the night after that because I was so scared but I never saw him again.
2:57.6	My really scary, serious paranormal experiences, I guess you could say, started when I was about 16 or 17 years old. I remember I was still in high school and I was living with my grandma at the time.
