Encounters x266

In this Encounters episode, Corinne and Sabrina are diving into the wild, weird, and downright chilling stories YOU sent in. From a TikTok-inspired sniff test of "space perfume" (spoiler: it smells like burnt almond cookies... and a tire shop 🛞) to a listener struck by lightning three times (hello, real-life Zeus vibes ⚡), this episode has it all and you should be grateful that smell can't be sent through air waves. We’re unraveling tales of haunted axes that refuse to stay trashed, creepy shadow men in top hats, and even a mysterious painting of burning skulls that brought chaos to a listener’s childhood home. Plus, there’s a ghost grandma who’s the ultimate babysitter and a spectral bathroom whisperer who couldn’t wait to say “sheee.” And if that wasn’t spine-tingling enough, we’re taking a detour into Lake Geneva’s dark history, complete with cryptids, cursed cemeteries, and one very haunted bookcase with a deadly fish tank twist. Add in the unnerving discovery of Indigenous spirits tied to tragic histories, and you’ll see why we’re wrapped in a bubble of white light for protection. 🔮 This week’s call to action? Share your superstitions, ghostly encounters, and keywords for future episodes (because who doesn’t want to hear their story live?). So grab your EMUs (extra spooky equipment), settle in with some snacks (preferably not M&Ms on a moon perfume-induced sugar high), and join us for a journey into the unearthly and unknown. Stay spooky, and remember—watch out for ghosts in the loo. 🚽 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
