Real ghost stories from real people. This is Into the Paranormal with Tony Bruske.

Some things are meant to be passed down, family heirlooms, old photographs, the watch your

grandfather wore every day of his life. But every so often, in the process of keeping the past alive, you invite something else in,

something not of memory or sentiment, but of shadow.

Tonight's story begins with a gesture of love, an effort to hold on to pieces of a dearly

departed relative.

But what happens when those pieces carry more than just emotional weight?

When the comfort of remembrance turns cold and the familiar becomes unfamiliar?

Claire, our storyteller, was never one to believe in haunted houses or cursed objects.

She's a rational thinker, a problem solver,

but what she experienced after one quiet visit to a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania would

leave her questioning everything she thought she understood about grief, energy, and evil.

Was it simply coincidence, faulty wiring, a mind under stress?

Or did Claire bring something back with her that day, something her late aunt never meant to leave behind?

Let's get to the letter.

They write.

Tony.

Thank you for giving people like me a place to share what we can't always explain.

I don't know exactly what this was, but I know it happened, and ever since I haven't been able to shake the feeling that something followed us home.

It started of all things with a favor.

My Aunt Judith had passed a few weeks earlier.

She'd been sick for a long time, and for for a moment we thought she might actually pull through.
