Episode Details

Hey, it's Michelle, and welcome to Mixtape Vol 2. This is now available as a full video episode on both Spotify and YouTube, so you can watch as well as listen for the first time. Six callers. Six true ghost stories. And Texas is showing up again in force, which at this point in the show's history should surprise absolutely no one.

Six real callers. Six true paranormal encounters. Here is what is waiting for you.

Tyler from Texas returns with the second of his two paranormal stories, and this one goes to a darker place than his first call. After a tragic car accident outside his apartment in Oak Cliff, Dallas, something moved in with him. What Tyler came to believe he was dealing with was a succubus, a malevolent spirit with a specific and documented history across cultures that dates back thousands of years. Tyler sought the help of a priest. The activity eventually subsided. Tyler has thought about why ever since.

Gabby from Texas calls in with a haunted house story that is not about a single encounter or a one-time event. It is about living inside a paranormal situation every single day. Strange things are happening in the morning. At night. In the ordinary moments of domestic life that are supposed to feel safe. Gabby's house has made it clear on a regular basis that she is not the only one there, and she has had to figure out how to keep living in it anyway.

Karl from Texas describes a paranormal presence inside his church, the specific and deeply unsettling experience of feeling something wrong in a space that is supposed to be protected. Churches have some of the most documented paranormal histories of any building type, and Karl's encounter adds to that record with the kind of specific detail that makes it impossible to dismiss.

LaSondra calls in with a ghost encounter that happened in the most private and ordinary space in her home, and discovered that privacy means nothing to whatever was sharing her bathroom. The shower ghost is specific in what it did and how it made itself known, and LaSondra has not entirely reconciled herself to the experience since.

Alexandra from Texas takes us house hunting and finds something she was not looking for. Alexandra was simply trying to find somewhere to live when the properties she was touring made clear in their own ways that they already had occupants who had not agreed to leave. Texas strikes again.

And finally, Lauren calls in with her experience of spirit orbs, the specific and widely debated paranormal phenomenon that sits at the intersection of photography, consciousness, and the question of what exactly a spirit looks like when it decides to make itself visible. Lauren's encounter with a black orb in her boyfriend's house was connected to the spirit of a previous owner who apparently never finished being there, and her perspective on what she saw and what it meant is one of the more thoughtful paranormal accounts in the early archive.

Six true ghost stories. One Texas mixtape.
