A mother wakes to a storm in her living room and finds herself face-to-face with a seven-foot shadow figure; in 1827 England, a troubled young woman agrees to a secret rendezvous and is never seen alive again—her murder later solved by psychic dreams; drivers on a lonely stretch of road in the south of England report the creeping touch of unseen hands; and the Greenbrier Ghost of West Virginia makes legal history as the only known case where testimony from a ghost helped convict a murderer. Listen along as the Ghostkeepers share four terrifying true ghost stories from across time.

paranormal pareidolia (noun)
par·a·nor·mal par·ei·do·lia /ˌpærəˈnɔːrməl ˌpær.aɪˈdoʊ.li.ə/

1. The tendency to perceive ghostly or supernatural images, sounds, or patterns in random stimuli, such as shadows, reflections, or background noise.

2. A psychological phenomenon in which ambiguous sensory input is interpreted as paranormal entities or occurrences, often influenced by cultural beliefs or expectations.

Example: "The eerie face in the window was likely just an instance of paranormal pareidolia rather than an actual apparition, but I'm still totally freaked out and wanna call the Ghostbusters now."
