Phantom Drilling and Footsteps: Clairvoyance or Sleep Paralysis? | Real Ghost Stories & Theories | Ep #65
Join Madame Strangeways for a true spooky story about Amanda and her boyfriend hearing a voice call out in their home as they both slept, followed by footsteps in their room and a strange drilling sound in her ear. A terrifying story! Let's discuss theories, both paranormal and mundane, like clairvoyance, ESP like the CIA was really into back in the day, and, of course, sleep paralysis.
Stick around after the story for my strange thoughts and strange research.
