Joe Simonton, a steadfast Wisconsin plumber and chicken farmer, interrupted his mundane morning chores by a peculiar noise, only to confront a metallic saucer hovering insolently in his yard—not landing with dramatic flair, but lingering aloof like a guest

Not all ghostly encounters are dark.  Most of these are very benign and even whimsical.  But, some of them grow dark, over time. Oftentimes, it's hard to know what kind of "haunting" you have until time reveals the nature of it.  On this episode, I am joined by KJ from Nebraska who shares her incredible experiences such as a door which closed by itself, a strange hat-man apparition appearing by her bed, her dog chasing and acting against a presence only the dog could see and the haunting seemed to
