    Doppelgangers, Back Rooms, and Phantom Hands - Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

    Doppelgangers, Back Rooms, and Phantom Hands - Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

    What are doppelgangers? In paranormal folklore, they're thought to be the apparitions of living people that spontaneously appear and just as quickly vanish. Some suggest they're supernatural entities and harbingers of misfortune. Others believe doppelgangers are actual physical beings, evil twins bent on wreaking havoc on the lives of the unsuspecting. In this episode, we feature the true story of a man whose friends and family have witnessed his appearance in unexplained locations. After that, we hear the story of a small group of security guards who discover an unearthly presence lurking on the sixth floor of a 100-year-old building. And finally, a mother and child are pranked by a back room dwelling ghost.

Spooky, Fascinating and Calming at the same time

My favorite spooky story Podcast! Vince and Jane have the ideal combination of storytelling, casual conversation and their married banter is just a delight. Clean enough to let your kids listen, captivating enough to keep the whole family’s attention.
