In this episode, two listeners from Oregon share the kinds of dreams that don't fade with the morning light. One recalls a chilling encounter with a mysterious, wide-brimmed figure who silently peers through a bedroom window watching after driving down her Grandparent's road. The other finds herself speaking with a woman who calmly exchanges what if feels like to die. These aren't nightmares in the traditional sense, they are quiet, lifelike and deeply unsettling. The most disturbing part...they felt true! Join us as we explore what happens when dreams mimic reality just a little too closely and linger long after we wake.

Then, the conversation takes a darker turn with stories of infamous haunted dolls hanging from trees south of Mexico, Robert the Doll, the mischievous figure behind countless cursed tales; Annabelle, the supposedly demon-possessed Raggedy Ann locked away by paranormal investigators; and Chucky, the fictional killer doll who became a horror icon.
