Today's podcast will feature two stories that reveal we may not be alone in this universe.

The audio from both of these stories has been pulled from our main YouTube channel and has been remastered for today's episode.

The links to the original YouTube videos are in the description.

The first story you'll hear is called Face Peelers, and it's about all these very strange events that took place in Peru.

And the second and final story you'll hear is called The Window. This particular case prompted

But before we get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the strange, dark,

So, if that's of interest to you, please figure out which book the follow button is currently

and bring it inside and make juice for her family. However, Talia was scared, and she was scared for two

reasons. The first reason was, this was the Amazon, an inherently dangerous place, especially at
