Two Girls One Ghost

Episode: Encounters x308 – Wicked Little Spirits

Hosts: Corinne Vien & Sabrina Deana-Roga
Release Date: November 20, 2025

Overview

In this “Encounters” edition of Two Girls One Ghost, Corinne and Sabrina dive into the chilling, unsettling, and sometimes heartwarming world of "creepy kids" and "ghost children"—a favorite category among their listeners. The episode features listener-submitted stories, each recounting eerie real-life experiences with spectral children, haunted objects, family spirits, and the odd ways in which the supernatural seems to interact with the young. The tone is a mix of spooky, irreverent, vulnerable, and funny, reflecting the bi-coastal friendship of the hosts and their delight in the strange and unexplained.

3. Listener Story: The Little Girl in the Mirror

(07:23–16:09) | Story by Edith

• Background: Edith, from a Mexican family near the border, is used to a culture rich with spiritual traditions. She’s always sensed spirits, adding “fear the living, not the dead” as family wisdom.
• The Story:
  • A mirror passed down through family causes unease; Edith’s cousin kept it covered due to seeing a “little girl.”
  • At age 7–8, Edith wakes to see a translucent little girl in a pink ruffled dress resembling herself.
  • Dialogue:
    • Maria (spirit): “Come on, Edith, let’s play.”
    • Edith: “We can’t, it’s night… how do you know my name? What’s your name?”
    • Maria: “My name is Maria. I’m always here, you see. I’m always watching and keeping an eye out for you.” (11:23)
  • The experience is initially dismissed as a dream—until Day of the Dead, when Edith discovers her grandparents had a stillborn daughter named Maria buried in the cemetery. Edith’s cousin independently confirms seeing the same girl with the same pink and white dress.
  • The mirror remains haunted, with unexplained scratching sounds that stop when addressed.
• Takeaway: A haunting that’s ultimately loving—a family guardian spirit lingering from tragedy.
• Corinne: “It’s very sad, but I do love that there’s an answer to this. And this almost is more heartwarming…” (16:09)

4. Listener Story: Ghost Boy at the Playground & Haunted House

(20:46–27:13) | Story by Jaelynn

• Playground Encounter:
  • Jaelynn and two friends, out at 3am, see a gray, colorless little boy curled on a playground slide. As they watch, he disappears—then reappears and sprints toward them, prompting them to flee.
  • All witnesses independently confirm the ghost vanished and suddenly reappeared, sprinting at them.
  • Jaelynn: “I kid you not. I swear, I watched him completely disappear… then he reappears from the ground and starts sprinting at us. We freaking book it, dude.” (24:12)
• River Encounter:
  • Sighted what appeared to be a body wrapped in cloth floating in a river near a military base; all three saw it before it disappeared.
• Haunted House:
  • A friendly but active military ghost manifests via moving lights, stomping noises, and playful disturbances.
  • Ghost had a history of suicide in the home but is described as mostly benign.

5. Hosts Reflect: Empathy for Ghost Children

(27:13–28:33)

• Sabrina, now a mother, admits increased sensitivity and sadness about ghost children and true crime involving kids.
• Corinne observes that Sabrina’s change is noticeable: “You used to have the outlook of any ghost kid was a demon. And I feel like that has changed significantly since you’ve become a mother…” (28:03)

6. Listener Story: Haunted House, Creepy Toys, and Baby’s Reactions

(28:54–33:39) | Story by Kendra

• Background: House from the 1930s; shortly after moving in, the narrator hears faint “cocktail music,” feels positive energy, and photographs green and orange orbs.
• Afterbirth Activity:
  • Ghostly phenomena escalate after narrator’s baby is born:
    • A comb swings wildly on a square shower rod with no logical cause.
    • Closet door opens by itself.
    • Baby waves and smiles at empty corners.
    • At 1am, a play piano switches between instruments and plays music spontaneously, even though it’s hard to turn on and inaccessible to the baby or cats.
  • Kendra: “It played for maybe 30 more seconds before it turned off. You know, I never understood parents in horror movies ignoring things and going back to bed. But now... I completely get it. No one has the energy for ghost hunting at 1am.” (33:23)

7. Listener Story: Am I the Black-Eyed Child?

(37:38–44:11) | Story by Tay

• Sleepwalking Black-Eyed Child:
  • Tay’s mom frequently wakes to young Tay on her chest, prying her eyelids open and whispering, “I see you,” only to vanish seconds later. Mom finds Tay fast asleep and has no memory herself.
  • Corinne: “Could you imagine, like, your eyelids being pried open?” (38:44)
• Shared Dream:
  • Both recall (years later) a shared vivid scene: Tay dancing with gremlin-like beings under a red hue in the hallway. Both experienced this from different perspectives and only discussed/realized it years later.
• Man at the Window:
  • As a child, Tay saw a strange man’s face pressing against their window; mother rushed out, but found no one outside.

8. Listener Story: The Boy Lured to the Window, Apartment 803

(47:04–51:02) | From Venezuela

• Backstory: Family with longstanding paranormal activity, especially brother (called a brujito—little wizard—by a witch).
• The Incident:
  • One-year-old brother found outside on the edge of an 8th story window in a flowerpot. He reports: “little boy and friend and play in pool.” There is no pool in the building.
  • Later, neighbors reveal a woman and her unborn son died by suicide, falling from that apartment.
  • Narrator: “My brother remembers playing with this little boy who told him to come play in the pool. He remembers looking down and seeing more kids by the pool and heard a boy say, jump. Let’s go. Here's the creepiest part. There was no pool in that building.” (50:44–51:02)
