    What was it that they experienced in that old Italian monastery? The ghost of a monk haunting the halls? Or is there something more mundane and scientific to explain it? As always, stick around after the story for a spectral analysis from the Madame about this haunting, and let me know where you land: team believer or team skeptic!

    Thank you to Holly for granting permission to read their story. Remember, Strangers & Strangelings & Strangecetera: you can feel afraid and not be in danger.


    What's lurking in the woods behind Holly's home? Is it a demon? Does it feed off the negative energy of her dad and her arguing? And actually, what even IS a demon, anyway? As always, stick around after the story for a spectral analysis from the Madame about this haunting and some history about the origins of demons as we know them.

    Thank you to OMGrealUFO for granting permission to read their story. Remember, Strangers & Strangelings & Strangecetera: you can feel afraid and not be in danger.


    This episode finds us again across the pond, this time in Wales, in an old, haunted manor house used as a care home. We love a classic ghost story. As always, stick around after the story for a spectral analysis from the Madame about this haunting and learn a little history about the fate of manor houses in the UK in the wake of World War I.
