Key Discussion Points & Listener Stories

1. Graveyard Shift Life & The Spooky Factor

• Corinne and Sabrina open with personal anecdotes about their own struggles with staying up late (01:01), empathy for night shift workers, and recognition that nighttime environments seem to foster more paranormal activity.
• Notable quote: “We’re honoring those of you who stay up late—either ‘cuz you like it or because you have to. We’re honoring you today with stories of graveyard shift ghost encounters.” — Sabrina (03:22)

2. Story #1: The Haunted Hotel Phone

Submitted by Dani (recounting friend Kelsey's experience)

• A graveyard shift hotel worker in San Diego’s historic Gas Lamp District answers repeated silent calls from a guestroom. Each time she picks up—there’s only ominous silence, but she can sense “someone” listening.
• Security eventually physically unplugs the phone, but it continues to ring (05:48), defying rational explanation.
• Notable moment: The hotel worker’s nonchalance—she reports the bizarre incident casually, as if it’s just another quirk of the night.
• “It keeps ringing again and again with the same presence of some sort of person on the other end of the line… Nothing was ever found out about this spooky situation.” — Sabrina (06:23)

3. Story #2: The Woman in White & a Haunted Childhood

Submitted by Dani (personal story)

• At age 10, Dani felt compelled—against her usual fears—to leave her bedroom and encountered the apparition of a woman crouched and crying in the living room, wearing an unfamiliar white nightgown (07:21).
• When Dani approached, the woman vanished—replaced by a blank wall and a searing sense of fear and confusion.
• Years later, Dani hears a woman humming in the basement and wonders if it’s the same ghostly presence—distinct from the male energies that other family members experienced in the house (10:02–11:40).
• Discussion: Corinne and Sabrina speculate whether this was a “guardian spirit,” residual energy, or even a time-slip with Dani’s own future ghost (12:14).
• “I booked it upstairs… but after that happened, things started playing tricks on me in the darkness.” — Sabrina, reading Dani’s story (09:44)

4. Story #3: The Night I Searched For Death

Submitted by Marshall, CNA/Witch

• As a CNA at an assisted living facility, Marshall recounts a graveyard shift where both the gate and front-door alarms mysteriously triggered around 2 a.m., but all residents were accounted for (14:13).
• Marshall glimpses a shadowy figure with a dragging black robe. Minutes later, a resident screams: “Get out! I don’t want you here!”—she claims a tall man in black robes appeared in her room (16:08).
• The resident, Pat, survives a heart attack the next day, but Marshall believes he may have witnessed “death itself,” possibly the Grim Reaper. Marshall adds he works with Hekate, goddess of death, and has seen many spirits as a practicing witch (17:45).
• Notable moment: Sabrina and Corinne discuss reaper lore and the recurring motif of healthcare workers seeing or sensing “death” just before incidents (17:53).
• “I do think that I was following death itself around the facility… maybe me being there had stopped him.” — Sabrina, reading Marshall’s story (17:43)

5. Story #4: Did a Ghost Call 911?

Submitted by Avery, EMT

• Avery responds to a routine medical alert at the home of “the Strawberry Man,” a beloved local farmer, only to find the house completely empty and cleared out—Strawberry Man had died weeks prior (24:01).
• Despite all devices and the Life Alert pendant having been removed from the property, Avery’s team received a legitimate 911 activation from the house—possibly a “call from the beyond” (26:13).
• “It is totally different to get a 911 call from a medical pendant that doesn’t exist anymore.” — Sabrina, reading Avery’s story (25:50)
• Corinne and Sabrina ponder if this ghostly outreach was a bid for closure or residual energy replaying a moment of crisis (26:29).

6. Story #5: The Green Lady of Wahiawa

Submitted by Eden, Hospital Worker in Hawaii

• After a late shift, Eden drives home through a foggy shortcut and nearly hits a ghostly woman in a long dress with glowing green eyes (28:12). The apparition vanishes; Eden’s phone and GPS fail, and the fog thickens.
• A colleague later tells Eden about the legend of the Green Lady of Wahiawa—a mother spirit eternally searching the gulch for her lost child. Folklore says encountering the Green Lady may bring bad luck unless she’s shown respect (29:13).
• “If you’re driving through Wahiawa at night… don’t be afraid to slow down and maybe show her some respect.” — Sabrina, reading Eden’s story (29:33)

7. Story #6: Firefighters Are Very Spooky

Submitted by Anonymous, Arizona Firefighter/Medic

Part 1: The Impossible Medical Alarm

• After responding to a welfare check where the resident is declared dead by law enforcement, the crew is repeatedly called back by medical alarm activations from the deceased’s necklace—seemingly impossible, as the only occupant was already gone (36:21).
• Objects and alarms in the fire station malfunction, potentially pointing to the deceased’s spirit trying to get discovered or call for help (34:07–37:24).
• “Nobody else could have pushed that button. And the person who lived in the home was deceased and had been there for days.” — Sabrina, reading (37:24)

Part 2: The Entity on the Road

• Driving an ambulance through the dark Arizona desert after a late-call, both crew members experience an oppressive, unnatural darkness and a sensation of “being watched from everywhere and nowhere.” A massive, indescribable dark figure appears, standing on the ambulance’s side step as the vehicle speeds down the highway (42:58).
• Radios, phones, and dash cams all fail; they lose time (over an hour) and arrive much later than normal (44:24).
• Both agree: this feels like a scene from a horror movie, with possible ties to desert folklore or “flesh pedestrian” (skinwalker) stories.
• “I looked in my side view mirrors… and that’s when I saw it. Something standing on the side step of the passenger side of the ambulance. It almost looked human, but it was entirely too large to be human… darker than darkness.” — Sabrina, reading (42:58)
• The night ends with several fatal calls, lending an ominous undertone to the already unexplained encounter (45:56).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Hot girls who love spooky shit—unite!” — Listener Dani (04:09)
• “That’s the confounding thing about the paranormal: multiple things can exist in the same house, but people are having different experiences.” — Sabrina (12:32)
• “I don't feel scared of seeing Death itself … but seeing Death is something I never planned on doing until my time on earth had come to an end.” — Marshall (17:45)
• “It's one thing to get a random 911 call from a phone number. It's totally different to get a 911 call from a medical pendant that doesn't exist anymore.” — Avery (25:50)
• “Something was with us—I felt watched from everywhere and nowhere, all at the same time.” — Anonymous Firefighter/Medic (42:08)
• “Don’t be afraid to slow down and maybe show her some respect. You never know what might happen if you don’t.” — Eden (29:33)
• “Get ready because I hope this email blows your tits off clean.” — Anonymous (31:44)
