Encounters x293 - Heartfelt Hauntings & Paranormal Pranks

This week’s Encounters episode brings a lighter, more playful vibe to the paranormal — featuring stories that are as heartwarming and weird as they are spooky. Whether you're into haunted photos, magical signs from beyond, or ghostly grandpas with a taste for seasoning, this episode will cast a spell on you. Stories Include: A mom’s spirit returns with flickering TVs and glowing kitchen lights — still making coffee at 11 p.m. A landline haunted by creepy voices that whisper names and growl — ghost or glitch? A garlic throwing grandpa bonds with his granddaughter from beyond the grave, and helps improve her cooking. In an invisible string theory story, one listener finds her home and her husband through a series of unbelievable coincidences. It’s weird, it’s heartwarming, and it’s a perfect reminder that sometimes the paranormal just wants to play. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
