Encounters x311 - Terror in the Nursery | Nanny and Babysitter Experiences

We’re diving headfirst into the eerie and hilarious world of nannying and babysitting gone paranormal, inspired by the delightfully twisted Housemaid series. We share listener tales filled with demonic toddlers, haunted bedrooms, headless Barbies, phantom footsteps, and ghost kids who just want to play. Stories include: A babysitter overhears a three-year-old negotiating with someone named Lucifer—and he’s not a fan of the sitter.  A nanny hears thumps from a blocked-off closet and unexplained lights, while the child acts unfazed by the ghostly chaos. An au pair hears heavy footsteps when no one’s home, an uncle gets violently shaken on the couch, and a mother hears her child calling for her—even though they’re miles away. A nanny sees a child sprint through the kitchen—even though the real child is elsewhere—and hears a voice whisper, “Wake him up!” If you thought your childhood babysitting gig was weird, wait until you hear what our listeners have survived.
