What this episode covers
Hauntings are personal. The Unruly Ones contemplate those visceral never-forget-it-yikes-and-shudder moments. Relationships can haunt and so can actions in the past, a stirring story, dread lurking in the corners of a house, a cultural moment of loss and tragedy. What is a haunting made of? How do we encounter it? Can ghosts be controlled or removed or do they have a mind of their own? Can forgiveness tame the haunted soul? We aim to cast some sunlight on the shadows.
