In this episode, Noelle brings us the eerie and unsettling phenomenon known as "The Call of The Void"—that strange impulse to jump when standing near a cliff or bridge. We explore the psychology behind this paradoxical urge and discuss why it's more common than you might think. Join us as we discuss the mysteries of this haunting yet fascinating aspect of the human mind.
