There are places where the veil feels thinner—where laughter echoes in empty forests, where shadows on the roadside burn brighter than the night around them, and where voices call your name though no one is there. Some of our listeners have stood in those places, and tonight, they share what they found waiting. From strange lights and woodland whispers, to blacker-than-black beasts and the hag who leans close enough to breathe your fear, these are the kinds of encounters you don’t just remember—you carry them with you. Volume 12 of our Listener Stories dives deep into the unexplained, the terrifying, and the beautifully bizarre. Settle in, turn down the lights, and join us as we explore true experiences from those who’ve brushed against the other side. Huge shoutout to every one that shared their story for Volume 12! ✨ Got a story of your own for Volume 13? Share it at thegang@thefreakydeaky.com

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
