Short Haunts - Listen Now to Me

A teenage boy wakes to a voice in the dark.A phrase repeats in the room.Then, one night, something happens that makes him question whether he saw a ghost — or himself.In this Short Haunt, an anonymous listener shares a strange and deeply personal account from the summer of 1994, when a childhood fascination with ghost stories gave way to something far harder to explain.It begins with a recurring voice heard at night, whispering the same unsettling words again and again: “listen now to me.” As the experiences intensify, a light bulb falls and shatters beside the bed, strange sounds come from downstairs, and the listener discovers something that appears to point toward an out-of-body experience — or a haunting centred not on another spirit, but on his own detached presence.Years later, the discovery of a tragic death connected to the family home adds another layer to the mystery, linking the strange voice, the garden, and a childhood image of a sorrowful man surrounded by ghostly hands.Quiet, reflective and unsettling, this is a story about memory, fear, astral projection, grief, mental strain and the possibility that some hauntings may come from much closer than we expect.Enjoyed the episode?
