Today, we delve into the shadowy corners of the human experience as we unravel 3 vastly different stories, each one more unsettling than the last. We touch on a seemingly unremarkable nightlight that harbors way more than meets the eye, and leaves an impression on our storyteller that lasts a lifetime. We cover a story from war torn Laos during the Secret War, wherein a family hiding in the cave systems, is met with a familiar voice in the dark of night that leads to a tragic disappearance shrouded in mystery that they'll never recovered from. However, Our tale begins in the seemingly ordinary confines of a single wide trailer, in a story that is sure to leave you hoping for a paranormal explanation, because the alternative would somehow be even more terrifying… We’ll see you on the inside.
