Encounters x285 - Poltergeist Stories

This Encounters episode is full of chaos, comedy, and spirits that throw more than just shade. We’re diving into your wildest poltergeist stories. There’s an auntie ghost who stops a murder, a stuffed tiger flying across the room, and one listener who might just be psychic without even knowing it. Whether they’re throwing bricks, flicking lights, or slapping bald spots, these ghosts have personalities. Stories include: A listener’s mom hears daily phantom stomping overhead — even when no one is home. A friend sees a listener’s pale, ghost-like face smiling at them… while the real person is asleep. An accessory loving spirit steals a headband for days before it reappears in a curious location. A protective poltergeist throws a tantrum — just in time to stop a murderer. A smoky black hand grabs a teen’s pant leg in a truly terrifying basement encounter. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
