S2 Ep16: The Mennonite Girl

About this episode

The episode explores a mysterious experience at a historic property, questioning the nature of time and space.

In tonight’s dead letter, a peaceful retreat at a friend's historic property in the country yields a brush with something that defies explanation. The old homes in these rural communities are steeped in generations of human memory, and sometimes, those overlaid paths from the past seem to bleed right through the present day. We unpack an incredibly vivid, solid sighting that leaves us questioning the true nature of time, space, and the boundaries of our own backyards.
