What if one night, someone saw you walking away… while you were still inside? And what if years later, your own child started talking to someone who shouldn’t exist anymore? First, a young girl named Madeline steps out of a small-town Kansas movie theater, or so her father and sister think. They watch her cross toward the train tracks — same clothes, same hair, same movements. But the real Madeline was still in the restroom. When she emerged minutes later, they realized they had seen something

Her husband called it coincidence… until she began predicting car accidents, visits, and phone calls before they occurred. She didn’t ask for it — the sensations came uninvited, slipping through like static from a broken radio. Then she beat cancer… and everything changed.

We follow that feeling into the heart of fungi and folklore with Amanda McLoughlin and Julia Schifini of Spirits, exploring why mushrooms unsettle us, how they anchor myth, and what they can teach us about living with limits and wonder. From fairy rings and house spirits to cordyceps and body horror, we trace the line between ecology and story: a mycelial network expands and fruits at the edge, myth calls it a ...
