Listener Stories: Monsters and Demonic Encounters

A. The Monster Under the Bed – Katherine’s Story (14:47–18:58)

• Katherine shares a close encounter while painting her nails: she notices a milky-eyed boy peeking from under her bed, drawing closer each time she looks away.
  • “What do I see but a little face looking at me from the other end of the bed… There’s something off about his face, but the part that really threw me off were his eyes. Milky.” (Katherine via Sabrina [15:21])
• Corinne jokingly wonders if it's a helpful ghost summoned by Katherine's wish for extra hands.
• Sabrina suggests it might have been a spirit cat, seeking a positive interpretation. Corinne retorts: “Or it's just a demon who was crawling out from under your bed trying to get your soul. Negative spin.” (Corinne [18:48])
• Katherine successfully uses cleansing rituals and protective salt to dispel the entity.

B. The Gargoyle in the Bathroom – Carol’s Story (19:24–27:24)

• Story set in a family home in Mexico, notable for persistent, intergenerational feelings of dread around the bathroom.
• Carol's mother dreams of a menacing, smoky-skinned, horned gargoyle peeking from behind a wall, foreshadowing real experiences.
  • “…she looked to the side, toward the bathroom, and saw what she could only describe as a gargoyle…it seemed to be peeking at her from behind the wall.” (Carol via Corinne, [21:07])
• Shocking family synchronicity: Carol’s uncles experienced identical nightmares with the same entity as teenagers—one uncle even waking up as another bursts into the room, having just dreamt about the creature attacking his brother.
• The grandmother, a skeptic, later suffers a mysterious fall by the bathroom after feeling herself pushed by invisible hands, and the phone line is found burned (impeding an emergency call).
• “She swears that she felt someone…push the back of her knees to where she completely lost balance and fell backward...she could feel something draining her energy…” (Carol via Corinne, [26:27])
• The hosts debate whether to tell the grandmother of this shared haunting, noting the mix of supernatural threat and family protection.

C. Sven the Monster – Tiffany’s Story (34:46–40:52)

• Tiffany shares a medley of lighthearted and unnerving happenings, including childhood haunting by “monsters,” which turned out to be her deceased mother’s boyfriend, Mike.
• She relates a recent, direct encounter after watching the podcast: her CPAP machine turns on by itself, alarms go off at “the wrong” time, her dog avoids her room, and time seems to bend (snoozing a 5 a.m. alarm, then the clock reads 3:10 a.m.).
  • “I found her [the dog] on the couch in the morning…I check my phone again—the alarm is set for 6:10…how is it 3:10 a.m.?” (Tiffany via Sabrina, [39:44])
• Hosts reflect on how sometimes the “monster” is a lost loved one, sometimes not.

D. A Haunting That Made Me Believe in Evil – Anonymous (43:49–54:14)

• Anonymous describes moving into a condo in Salem (built by family) where both she and her roommate immediately experience doors opening, footsteps, poltergeist activity, and escalating “sleep paralysis" attacks.
  • “I was laying on my bed, studying…when, boom. [The door] flung open. Something in me said not to look… I was so terrified that I didn’t move until the sun came up.” (Anonymous via Corinne, [44:44])
  • “What came through my door was what I can best describe as a bipedal creature that was hairless, disgusting, and had a head similar to a dog…that thing leapt onto my chest.” ([48:33])
• A medium warns her the condo is a portal, that the entity wants to possess her, and leaves a glass angel figurine for protection—which is found smashed, still inside its sealed plastic box the next day.
• Final straw: trapped in the shower as doors slam and lights go out; she moves out immediately. Later learns from family builders that human bones were found on the property during construction.
  • “Come to find out my uncles found human remains in the spot where they built those condos…” ([54:00])
• Sabrina: “That feels close to home. Because it is…it literally made me nervous…” ([54:14])
• The hosts discuss the dark side of Salem’s haunted reputation and the dangers of portals/demonic infestation.

E. Cryptid in the Woods of Canada? – Abby’s Story (56:17–60:53)

• Abby, a self-described “witchy granola girl,” recalls going camping off-grid in Ontario, Canada. Despite being used to wilderness solitude, she’s overwhelmed by the sense of being watched.
• At 3:33 a.m., she glimpses a “massive, half-hairless, half-dog, half-human creature” outside her transparent dome.
  • “I swear I saw the most terrifying thing. A massive, half hairless, half dog, half human creature. It looked completely wrong…that bad energy from the forest followed us.” (Abby via Sabrina, [58:44])
• After this encounter, her family life unravels with unexpected rapidity: parental divorce, estrangement, and negative transformations.
• The creature is likened to a not-deer or werewolf; the hosts muse on the lore of such beings and their power to curse.
