Encounters x325 - Sports Superstitions & Game-day Ghouls

Grab your peanuts & cracker jacks because we’re reading listener stories all about sports superstitions and paranormal encounters. We might not know that much about sports, but we do know a thing or two about spirits. When you combine high stakes games, roaring crowds, and deeply rooted rituals, it’s no surprise a few spirits make an appearance. Stories include: Baseball players from a child’s wall mural appear to come out at night to watch him sleep. A late night stadium-trespassing adventure is cut short when the group is suddenly chased by a massive flying creature believed to be the legendary La Lechuza. An EVP captured at a youth baseball game, in which a mysterious voice whispers a clue that helps a grieving family complete a loved one’s final wish. A monarch butterfly and a mysteriously recovered Patriots hat that felt like signs from a father still cheering on his family from the other side. A ghostly presence that turns on TVs, speaks comforting words, and smashes an Astros glass right after their World Series loss. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
