  • Summary

  • The uncanny, extraordinary, true stories of events that have dramatically altered the lives of ordinary people; a son is shot by his own father, a woman's sister develops multiple personalities, a man wakes up in the morgue. These are riveting, moving and often haunting stories that will stick with you long after you listen.

I have a story

I listen to this podcast often while I do crossword puzzles. Great stories on different subjects. I was compelled to go to Prague while seeing a documentary and there experienced a spiritual event that took nine years and lots of research to understand

My first full podcast

Almost every story felt like a situation me or a family member could easily fall into. I really enjoyed the short episodes and that each story is told by the person it happened to.

Worst / best such account I've ever come across.

I have nothing to add to my review title or star rating, but am required to input some text here.

This is REAL

It is easy to look at the better things in life and overlook the ugly and the bad. But this is real life situations that happens to real people. Every. Single. Day.
Stop looking at the clouds and look at what’s in-front of you.

Poor Guy

This is one of the saddest stories I have ever heard. I hope the guy can find some peace.

No justice

I’m so sorry you went thru this hell. You can contact the local exoneration chapter. You did NOT get a fair trial at all. It’s so not okay. I am a Grad Legal Studies student. I’m not a lawyer yet, but I may be able to connect you to local help. Email me if you can. Rhi.etc@outlook.com

Wow

His name isn't mentioned, but I wish I could speak with him. He rattled off so many synchronicities. I know he's not textbook crazy, I wish I could speak to him.. Vortex mode is the abyss, the Underworld. I'm sure he understands.

Someone who can guide him is Carl Gustav Jung. I hope this message gets to him, and he understands he's not alone.
