Ask Sandman 2026

What would you do if four hours of your life simply disappeared? What if you woke up in the middle of the night and saw a woman standing in your hallway—only to discover nobody was there? Or watched a massive black triangle glide silently across the sky? Or received a phone call from a loved one who had already passed away? In this special edition of ParaReality, the spotlight turns to you. Join Sandman as he opens the inbox and answers calls from listeners who have experienced the strange, the mysterious, and the unexplained. Some are searching for answers. Others simply want to share a story they've carried for years. From missing time and UFO sightings to ghostly encounters and possible cryptid activity deep in the Smoky Mountains, each account offers a glimpse into the unknown. Are these experiences evidence of something beyond our understanding? Misidentified events? Tricks of memory and perception? Or something else entirely? We don't claim to have all the answers—but together, we'll explore the questions. Tonight's stories are real. The witnesses are real. The mystery remains. Welcome to Ask Sandman.
