Encounters x299 - Paranormal Games and Sleepovers

September means one thing: spooky season is officially here, and we’re kicking it off with haunted sleepovers and ghostly games—no flashlights allowed. Childhood dares spiral into chilling encounters, sinister figures linger long after the night ends, and sometimes it feels like the ghosts just want to play too. Stories include: A ghostly little girl in a white nightgown joins a basement game of hide-and-seek and sticks around for years of playful hauntings. A listener wakes to a shadowy figure inches from her face at a sleepover, and days later, an eerie entity is spotted in the same house. A bathroom seance and a game of Bloody Mary summons something dark. A ‘haunted trail’ birthday game is interrupted by a girl with no legs near a cursed tree. And to make things extra spooky, we’re joined by Cassidy and Amanda of Drinking the Koolaid, who close out the episode with their own unforgettable paranormal encounters, including a dangerous attempt at astral projection.  Watch the video version here.
