Mimic & Doppelgänger Reddit Stories + Serial Killer Accidental Interview + Relay Race Aggression

This bonus episode dives into the kind of stories that make you question what you’re really hearing… and who’s really there. From eerie voices that don’t belong, to something hiding in plain sight, to a shocking slip-up on live television, and unexpected chaos at a school track event—each tale takes a turn you won’t see coming. Strange, unsettling, and a little unhinged… just the way we like it.

In this delightfully creepy bonus episode, we’re serving up strange stories that’ll have you side-eyeing your reflection. We kick things off with mirror tales—think portals to other realms, reflections acting on their own, and that uneasy feeling that something is watching you from the other side. Then we somehow stumble into a hostage situation featuring an unexpected appearance from someone in Next Gen NYC. And to top it all off, we share a local Arizona storywith unsettling parallels to the Netflix hit Baby Reindeer. Buckle up—it’s weird, it’s spooky, and it’s a little too real.

In this solo episode, Tayler dives into the infamous story of Annabelle—the haunted doll that’s been locked away for decades in the Warrens’ Occult Museum. From her disturbing beginnings as a gift to a nursing student, to the violent paranormal activity she allegedly sparked, we explore what makes Annabelle one of the most feared objects in the world of the supernatural. We also touch on the tragic and untimely passing of Dan Rivera, a respected member of the Warren team, who had been touring with the real Annabelle doll. We honor his work and legacy with the utmost respect while exploring the darker side of this paranormal icon.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this is one story that might make you think twice about haunted objects—and definitely about taunting them.

Colleen will be back next Wednesday with a true crime story, back to our normal routine!
