Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Why WhatsApp Is the Platform for Paranormal Encounters
- Everyday Use & Accessibility: WhatsApp is an almost universal communication tool, making it a surprising conduit for unexplained phenomena.

2. Personal Experiences with Technology & the Paranormal
- Marijó’s Household Encounters: Repeated electrical malfunctions—clocks breaking, lights and TVs turning on or off inexplicably—and sightings of shadowy figures in her family home suggest a persistent haunting (07:17-09:15).
- Quote:
"En casa de mi mamá se descomponen los relojes seguido... había una silueta de un hombre y la luz prendida..." – Marijó [07:26]

3. Listener Stories: Paranormal WhatsApp Encounters
- Vicente’s Story – The Haunted Second Phone
