as is tradition after doing a controversial episode, we like to come back the following week with a tasty little palette cleanser. So, this week we're diving into Volume 11 of Freaky Listener Stories! Huge shoutout to every one that has sent in your true paranormal stories to be read on the show, these are our favorite episodes to do, and we've got some real bangers in this one!

You’re sitting alone, and suddenly a voice cuts through the silence. It knows your deepest fears, your hidden shame, and it won’t shut up. It’s not a friend, not your conscience—it’s something else, taunting you, day after day. For millions of people with schizophrenia, this isn’t a thought experiment—it’s their reality. But here’s the kicker: what if those voices aren’t just a glitch in the brain? What if they’re something… more?

Tonight, we’re stepping into the shadows of a topic that’s haunted humanity for centuries—demonic possession. Not the Hollywood version with spinning heads and green pea soup, but the real, unsettling accounts whispered in church records, scribbled in diaries, and debated by priests, skeptics, and scholars alike. We’re breaking it down into four stages: Infestation, Oppression, Obsession, and Possession. These aren’t just spooky stories—they’re a roadmap of how some believe a malevolent force creeps into a life, starting with whispers in the walls and ending with a battle for the body itself.

First, there’s Infestation—think unexplained knocks, foul stenches, a sense that something’s watching. Then Oppression hits, grinding you down with exhaustion and nightmares. Obsession follows, hijacking your thoughts with darkness you can’t shake. And finally, Possession—where the entity takes the wheel, turning your body into its puppet. We’ve got four true tales tonight, pulled from dusty archives and firsthand accounts.

Owls have been called harbingers of death, replacement memories (screen memories) during alien abductions, they've been linked to The Mothman Prophecy and have been mentioned since before time was recorded in Native American and First Nation cultures. The owl is one of the most significant animals throughout history to be connected to the supernatural in cultures all over the world and throughout time there are stories and legends some bring death, others bring about false memories and sometimes the owl is just a handy form of transportation for witches if they don't have their broom around.
