Reid explore the unsettling phenomenon of mimics—accounts of voices, figures, and presences that imitate something familiar in order to draw people closer.From modern-day encounters to traditional folklore, we examine stories of people who have heard their name called in empty places, seen loved ones where they shouldn’t be, or felt an unshakable pull to follow something just out of sight.Finally, we explore the science behind what we hear—why the human brain is wired to recognize voices, and how easily sound can be misinterpreted in the right environment.Whether rooted in psychology, folklore, or something we don’t fully understand, one idea remains consistent across every story:If something calls you away from safety… you don’t go.Astonishing Legends podcast:https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2018/03/10/ep-101-arcapalooza-part-2Listverse - Doppelgangershttps://listverse.com/2013/08/30/10-disturbing-tales-of-doppelgangers/The Night-Side of Nature; Or, Ghosts and Ghost-Seers by Catherine Crowehttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/54532New episodes released regularly.Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.
