Prepare for dogs, sleepwalking debates, creepy guy Mikes, haunted pictures, and more—but mostly, prepare to get probed.

Listener Tale Highlights
3. Encounter on the Albuquerque Mesa
[“Listener Tale by My Very Rational Husband”]
(07:01 – 17:21)
- Story: A self-described rational husband tells two eerily strange stories, both in the same Albuquerque neighborhood, while walking dogs at “devil’s hour” depths of early morning.
- Incident One: Overwhelming generator noise, then a “small, very bright light hovering in the sky” zooms 20+ miles in under 2 seconds ([14:04]). No possible explanation—ruled out generators, aircraft, & construction.
- Incident Two: Invisible jogger footsteps circle him and the dogs. Dogs react, but no one’s there ([14:56]).
- Ash & Alaina dissect: The first is a definite UFO, the second possibly a ghost or “the invisible man.”
- “I think you definitely experienced a UFO in that first one.” —Alaina ([17:02])
- “The second one was the invisible man—or woman!” —Ash ([17:13])
- Memorable Dog banter: Hosts review photos of the listener’s dogs (“Gidget,” “Baxter,” “Roscoe”) and joke about becoming weird old crow-and-owl ladies ([11:16]).
4. Toddler Alien Abduction
(17:33 – 24:14)
- Storyteller: Colin, an 18-year-old trans guy, recalls being “abducted” by aliens at six, witnessing a tall, gray, matte-skinned being with “the absence of life in its eyes” and being flooded with blue light. Only blankness after that memory.
- Quote: “It’s like my fight or flight system malfunctioned and I somehow found peace in it while being nearly physically paralyzed." —Colin ([20:42])
- Reflections:
- “If you don’t have a lot of memories from childhood but that one sticks out, that’s telling.” —Alaina ([22:38])
- Both hosts hope he wasn't abducted: “I want to believe aliens are chill and wouldn’t abduct a kid.” —Alaina ([22:44])
- Bakery/Peace Corps dreams celebrated.
5. Wyoming Abduction, Creepy Guy Mike, & Horrifying Photos
(26:25 – 45:43)
- First Story:
- As a teen in Newcastle, Wyoming, the teller and friends camp outside. She wakes a MILE from camp in the dark among barbed-wire fences and rough terrain with no injuries or memory. Never sleepwalked before or since.
- “There’s no way in a million years you could convince me that I walked my ass a mile from where we were sleeping... without being woken up.” —Listener ([31:49])
- Hosts debunk sleepwalking theories and side with alien abduction.
- As a teen in Newcastle, Wyoming, the teller and friends camp outside. She wakes a MILE from camp in the dark among barbed-wire fences and rough terrain with no injuries or memory. Never sleepwalked before or since.
- Second Story (“Diamond Guy Mike & Spoopy Ghost Pictures”):
- A sketchy group adventure to a “meatpacking plant” with a stranger named Mike. The plant oozes dread. The host sees “a puddle of blood growing out from under this incinerator” ([40:05]), then their Jeep is lost in a “cornfield” that shouldn’t exist in Wyoming. They loop endlessly before returning inexplicably to the plant. Owls swoop repeatedly.
- Memorable banter: “You were in a backroom cornfield. You were in the liminal cornfield.” —Ash ([41:19])
- Disturbing “zombie ghost lady” photos attached (hosts have a genuine on-air scare reaction: [43:23-44:07]).
6. For the Laughs: The Anti-Probing Dad
(48:30 – 54:46)
- Story: Elise from Kentucky and her dad, “the resident witch chick,” mistake a fog-obscured row of highway streetlamps for a fleet of alien ships and nearly reverse off the on-ramp to avoid being “probed.”
- “Arms flailing, tears streaming, between bickering and bricks, my dad slams on the brakes and puts the car into reverse to nope the fuck outta there...” —Elise ([52:39])
- “Meanwhile, I was late for class for obvious reasons but I was not about to explain what my father and I just pulled.” ([54:14])
- Host reaction:
- “That is so some father-daughter bonding right there.” —Elaina ([54:58])
7. UFO Over Rural Ireland
(56:31 – 62:14)
- Story: Sive, from rural northwest Ireland, relays her mother’s 1970s encounter as a teen: she and her sister see a blinding light hovering above a field near their home—an enormous UFO, close enough to touch if she climbed a tree. The craft shoots off in silence at impossible speed.
- Another adult in the community, the school principal, corroborates with his own car-stalling experience the same night ([62:14]).
- “If it had just been my mum alone, nobody would have believed her. But her sister was 18 and was white as a ghost from the shock.” —Sive ([60:37])
- Present day: Sive’s pilot boyfriend and fellow aviators report mysterious lights high above western Ireland ([63:43]).
8. Ghosts in the Dorm & Family Supernatural Sway
(64:04 – 70:05)
- Sive’s mother (again!) sees the torso of a smiling young woman behind her in a mirror while preparing for a night out at college in the ‘80s. A priest later confirms the girl had been a student who died of leukemia years prior ([68:58]).
- Uncanny feeling of calm, not fear, during the encounter.
- “My mom looked up into the mirror to find a girl not much older than her standing directly behind her, smiling… the girl in the mirror didn’t have a lower body, just a floating torso.” —Sive ([66:22])
- The priest shows a mass card: “That’s her. That’s the girl I saw last night.” ([69:00])
- Family trend: Sive’s mother attracts paranormal events; “Maybe ET had something to do with it.”

Ash and Alaina strike the balance between laughter and goosebumps, validating listeners’ experiences while poking wicked fun at their own spookability. The stories swing from comic misadventures (nearly fleeing streetlights) to genuinely disturbing (encountering the unknown a mile from camp, or a young student’s ghost gently making contact). Through it all, listeners get the sense that, weird as it all is, they’re not alone—and if they ever are, they might want to check for owls first.
