Strange Encounters: Part One (Podcast)
🕑 Added 2025-10-03 09:18:09 +0000 UTCAs I often say: this was a long time coming. And this time, it's a little bit different.
If you listen to the podcast in question, a lot of it is self explanatory, but this is a one-off (technically two-off) podcast of... spooky stories, I guess? My mom had stories of things she saw and experienced growing up, and and they were always incredibly fascinating. So, for a lot of reasons, I wanted to preserve those stories to the best of my ability. You know me, I've always liked a good campfire story -- though as I stress, the way these were told to me, I consider this non-fiction.
I've spent so many years thinking about doing this, and looking at it, and mulling it over. It makes me nervous finally posting it. But it needs to come out. You'll see why. Is it boring? Embarrassing? We'll find out.
So. um. I'm also doing a little bit of a different cadence in this one. Softer. Quieter. I figure it sets the tone. Maybe it's too weird for my voice. Let me know if it works or not.
I'm dividing these up by topic into two episodes. Episode one now, episode two... maybe by December? In some cultures, December is a time for ghost stories, after all.
