About this episode

The episode explores the re-emergence of a childhood presence linked to grief and fear during a visit to a childhood home.

Welcome, to the Season 24 Dark Minisode Finale. When one of our more sceptical listeners returns to her childhood home due to her mother's illness, she expected sorrow, paperwork, and difficult memories. What she didn't, was an old presence from her past that seems to re-emerge. Through a familiar smell and an unsettling sense of dread, she is forced to confront emotions she thought had been buried decades ago. Is grief capable of awakening forgotten fears, or can certain people leave something behind that lingers long after they’re gone? Stay safe, Kevin.
