Advertise on podcast: Too Many Ghosts Nowadays

Strange things can happen in peculiar places, and at rather peculiar times, especially if you've wandered off into a strange place yourself.   In the first story, a friend recounts his experience after touring through some of the old cities in Shanghai. As he flies off to Dubai to meet with a friend, he feels a heavy weight following him, and he wakes up in the middle of night in a trance.   In the second story, this same friend recounts another experience from when he was younger. He was out playing with some friends when they come across a strange abandoned hut in the middle of nowhere. Curious, one of the boys ventures in and comes out unscathed, but a few days later, that same boy would start freaking out and cursing in the middle of an exam hall.   If you would like to submit your stories or send Genesis a message, you can head over to @tmgn_podcast on Instagram.   This podcast is brought to you by Mediacorp.

There are some weird things you see that you can probably explain away as pure coincidence, but when you keep them again and again, you might want to reconsider.   In the first story, a listener shares about her experience while she was in university and staying with 2 housemates outside of campus. One night, she is in between waking states when she notices a presence by her door, a tall figure filling out the length of her door frame, and seemingly holding a phone to record her sleeping.   In the second story, a man and his girlfriend are out driving late at night when they see a strange man covered in filth and mud, standing by the side of the highway and staring out into the darkness. Thinking nothing of it, they proceed along with their drive until they see the same filth-covered man a couple of minutes later, and then again, and then again.   If you would like to submit your stories or send Genesis a message, you can head over to @tmgn_podcast on Instagram.   This podcast is brought to you by Mediacorp.
