Summary
Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.
In part one of this chilling two-part listener experience, Catherine shares the beginning of a lifetime touched by trauma, loss, and unsettling paranormal encounters that seem to appear at the darkest moments of her life. From a children’s hospital ward where a mysterious little girl in a dirty nightgown whispers impossible knowledge, to locked rooms, residential schools, shadowed corridors, ghostly figures near bridges, and a cemetery encounter that appears to guide her back to safety, this episode follows Catherine’s early years as the line between grief, memory, and the supernatural begins to blur. But as the story moves toward a devastating family tragedy and a terrifying sense of forewarning, one question remains: were these spirits haunting her, helping her, or preparing her for what was coming next? Be sure to tune in next week for the conclusion.
Stay safe,
Kevin.
