The supernatural doesn't discriminate. From the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern, men, women, children, and occasionally their favorite pets, all catch a glimpse behind the veil of the unknown. For some, this is just a fleeting chill or eerie instinct. But for others, it's an experience that will change their lives entirely. Welcome to Sightings, the series that takes you inside the world's most mysterious supernatural events. Each week, we bring you a thrilling story that puts you at the center of the action, followed by a discussion that dives into the accounts that inspired the story and our takes on them.

I'm McCloud. Aaron Powell And I'm Brian, and it's the last Monday of the month, so we've got some juicy, creepy, and even surprisingly uplifting listener stories. McCloud Uplifting. This should be interesting. Aaron Powell It is. But McCloud, you're supposed to do the voice now. McCloud Right.

Sorry. Sorry. So, journey with us. Journey with us. As we explore bumps in the night from around the world. From France to South Africa to the US. All on this episode of Sightings. Okay, it's that time again where I've got no idea what's gonna happen. It's your favorite time of the month.

It is. You get scared, you don't know what's going on. It's your favorite time of the month. It is. You get scared, you don't know what's going on. Oh, wait, I wanna interrupt. Sorry, because I was talking with a friend who's been listening to the show, which is always kind of weird to be like, yeah, but I'm just me. And they're like, yeah, but I listen to you.

And I'm like, oh, okay, friend. But they mentioned specifically the last listener story that they were specifically freaked out by the attic one. I think that was Angel. Angel, yeah. Angel wrote it, right. They were like, that one creeped me out. I was like, yeah.

Yep. That was a good one. That was a good one. So we've gotten a lot of Instagram comments about that one too, that that one freaked a lot of people out. Things because everybody's had like weird sounds in their house before that they can't place and then seen something scuttle. Mm-hmm.

We've got a good scuttley one this episode too. Ooh. So, our first story, we're heading to France actually. This is our first time going to France from Hugo, Ugo? Ugo. Ugo. Because you drop the H. You drop the H, yeah.

I've not spent much time in France. But this is a good one and he did not say you had to do a French accent. So. Good. And nobody wants to hear my throaty R's. But this is a good one and he did not say you had to do a French accent. So, you're good. Good. And nobody wants to hear my throaty R's. So, if you're ready, let's get some music going. Okay. Okay.

I grew up in rural Burgundy, about 40 kilometers outside of Dijon. My parents inherited this old stone farmhouse, and the property backed up against a dense forest that was a magical place to a young boy like me. It made me become obsessed with wildlife around our house, and I'd seen lots of it, from squirrels to deer to fox and more. But the encounter I want to share

didn't involve any of those animals. To set the scene more, it's helpful to know there was a huge oak tree right outside my bedroom window. So in autumn and winter, after the leaves fell, I could see anything that perched there. It was late October when I first noticed the owl perched there. It was the biggest owl I'd ever seen.

And at first I thought it had to be some decoration my father put up, but then it turned its head ever so slightly and I realized it was alive. What struck me immediately was how it seemed to be staring directly at me, not just in my general direction, but right at me. And I remember not being scared. Instead, I was completely fascinated. So we stared at each other for a while before I finally fell asleep.

Just to jump in real quick because I agree, owls have this magical power. My wife and I, we were on a vacation, we were just driving in the middle of the road and there was just sitting in the middle of the road, the biggest owl that we've ever seen. No idea what kind of owl it was. Also, it just looked right at us.

It looked great. I think it's because they hunt through sight. And so, when they see something moving or someone moving, they look at it and they're like, what are you? But again, it's interesting that we don't innately feel fear around owls. There's not a lot of legends or lore around owls attacking. I think they're magical. I think they're magical and awesome. Well, until I read the story. Okay, darn it. Because usually they're associated with, you know,

wisdom and magic, but here we go. I'll find out. Unless they swallow you whole and cough you out as a hairband. Oh gosh. The next night, I half expected the owl to be gone, but when I looked out my window again, there it was, in the exact same spot, exact same position. After about a week of these visits I started calling it Zeus.

That's adorable. It seemed fitting for such a magnificent creature. I'd sit at my window and even talk to it sometimes, and though he barely ever seemed to move his eyes would track me as I moved around my room. It even reached the point where I started looking forward to seeing him each night, since it was like I had my own silent guardian. I even started leaving my window cracked open just a bit so he could hear me when I talked to him. But that stopped on the night that everything changed. I remember it was Friday

because I'd stayed up late watching a movie, and when I got to my room, Zeus was in his usual spot when I went to bed. I remember it was a chilly night and there was barely any moon, so I fell asleep watching his silhouette against the dark sky. But I woke up in the middle of the night to a sound I'll never forget. It wasn't a hoot or any normal owl sound. It was a dry scraping noise like fingernails on wood, and it was coming from my window. At first I just lay frozen in bed, listening, afraid to look. The scratching continued, and then I heard something else. A weird breath that sounded

almost human, honestly. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore, so I looked toward the window. And there was Zeus. But he wasn't on the branch anymore. He was perched right on my windowsill, his massive body pressed right against the glass, and I realized he didn't look like the Zeus I'd come to know. First, his wings didn't look like wings should. They were bent in the middle like elbows. And I realized that they weren't wings at all. They were arms. And it looked like they were trying to reach into the crack in the window

or lift the window up. This is so spooky, and now I've ruined it. I have to, I'm sorry, I have to cut the mood for my own good. Then its eyes locked on mine and I'm not sure how to describe it, but it looked genuinely surprised. And then all of a sudden its body started to elongate, growing taller, as legs, actual legs, grew beneath its feathers. The whole transformation probably took only a second or two, but it felt a lot longer to me. And by the end of it, Zeus didn't really look like an owl anymore. It was something else. And it was all wrong. Before I could scream, it leapt backwards onto the tree branch, then used those weird arms and legs to climb head first down the trunk of the oak tree. I sat in bed until morning, too terrified to move or call for my parents. And what would I say?

That my owl friend was actually some kind of monster? That was the last time I ever saw Zeus, and even now, more than 20 years later, I still remember what happened outside that window. And I'm sure some might just write it off as childish imagination, but I know what I saw. I did a lot of research on owls trying to figure out what it was, and the best match seems to be a Eurasian eagle owl. Except, I'm pretty sure Zeus wasn't that at all. Well. You still like owls?

No, I mean- The show ruins everything, doesn't it? It does. When this story came in, I was just jaw on the table. Are you aware, Brian, of any kind of like owl changeling story? I don't know about changelings. Folklore. But owls pop up everywhere in supernatural stories, especially involving aliens.

Really? Oh, well, yes. Okay. The big owl, the big eyes and the heads and the... The eeriness with which they watch people, things like that. So to see this story where the owl literally became alien in front of someone's eyes was awesome and terrifying. And man, that ruined owls for me for a little bit, but they're still super cute.

They are, they are. I mean, I gotta say, like my skeptical gecko was gonna kinda say something like, yeah, okay, I'm gonna write it off to childish imagination and being in a half-dream state. Uh, but he says, don't you dare. So, sorry, Hugo, I won't. It doesn't seem to be a coincidence that of all the animals that could have done this or all the birds that could have sprouted arms and legs, it was an owl. Sure. I guess I could see a crow.

But crows don't look like aliens. No, they don't. They just look like birds. An emu. Emus already sprout legs. I would love to see emus with arms though. Just like imagine like giant, giant muscular arms on the sides of these emus. Just like, oh man. Thank you, Uro, for sending this in.

It comes from Cleveland from South Africa. Cool name. Yeah. I'm not going to tell you anything else, but let's get the music rolling. Here we go. Okay. My name is Claven, and what I'm about to tell you I have only ever shared with my family who experienced the events with me. I live in a small town in Gauteng, South Africa called Kruger's Dwarf, which is about 30 kilometers away from Johannesburg, and its biggest claim to fame with regards to the unsettling is that there was a death cult which operated out of here a few years back. Netflix made a whole documentary on it, but that is unrelated to what I'm about to tell you. When I was younger, my family moved into a

house about 500 meters away from a graveyard. Awesome. It was the family home and though I never suspected the supernatural, things definitely felt off. There were certain rooms where it felt like someone was looking at you or there with you. In the evenings, I would often catch glimpses of shadows darting around the house just out of sight. And though nothing physical actually happened there during my childhood,

it definitely left me uneasy. After I moved away for university, my parents asked me to return home to house-sit for a weekend. By then, my old bedroom had been converted into a storeroom, and I had to stay in the guest room, an addition to the house that functioned as a small flatlet. had to stay in the guest room, an addition to the house that functioned as a small flatlet. The main living space was on the ground floor with a timber staircase leading up to a bedroom. My first night back seemed perfectly normal and I fell asleep in my childhood home like I'd done a thousand times before. But in the middle of the night I suddenly woke up, and to my horror I was completely paralyzed. All I could do was stare out into the black room, and as I lay there trying to move I

heard footsteps from downstairs. At first I thought someone had broken in, but the dogs weren't barking, which made me think it might be one of them. But no, the sound of very human footsteps on the wooden staircase soon followed. Step by step, the sound grew louder. Someone was definitely coming up the stairs, and I was still paralyzed and terrified. Then, as the final step creaked, the moment the unseen presence should have reached my bedroom, the paralysis broke and I jolted up with a deep breath.

Still freaking out, I turned on the bedside light and saw the dog staring at me, confused, as if nothing unusual had happened at all. Still I got up and checked the whole house, but everything was as it should be. Then I eventually fell back asleep and nothing else strange occurred that night, or ever again. Or so I thought. I didn't speak about this experience until years later, long after my parents had moved to a different house.

I assumed it had all been in my head, but then one night I told my dad about the strange encounter, half expecting him to disregard my story as me seeing things. But to my surprise, he decided to share his own encounter. One night he had stayed up late watching TV and said that just after midnight he heard movement or sounds coming from the other side of the house. Curious, he got up to check it out. And there, outside the sliding doors in the family room, he saw a spectral figure of a woman.

My father is not one for storytelling, which made it even worse. He described how the figure slowly floated toward the door, then phased through it and started moving towards him. Frozen with fear, he watched as the apparition drifted past him without acknowledging him. After finding his nerve, he followed it down the hallway towards the kids' bedrooms, but as soon as the figure turned a corner, it vanished. My dad admitted that if I had not shared my own experience, he would have taken his story to the, to the grave. But wait, oh no, there is one final thing to tie everything together. During that same conversation, my father recalled another incident from years prior.

My parents had hosted a party at the house and my aunt had brought along a plus one named Raynal. At the end of the gathering, completely unprompted, Raynal pulled my mother and dad aside and told them that a spirit resided in the house, but reassured them that it was friendly and meant no harm. I still live in the same rough area all these years later and walk my dog past the house from time to time. The new owners went all out on renovations once we left and really made the place nice. And though I've never spoken to them, I'd love to maybe ask one day if they too have experienced anything weird because I would bet money that they have. So yes, I once lived in a haunted house and I lived

to tell the tale. That was spooky. Oh. I love these stories of intergenerational experiences where you mention offhand and then like your sister or your brother or your mom or your grandchild are like, wait, that same thing happened to me. Yeah. It's really interesting. Yeah.

I love the fact that there's like a graveyard near the house. I'd be really interested to hear from Claven whether, you know, if he ever looked into the history of the graveyard or, like, what family it was. Because, like, I know going to old houses from great-grandparents, like, in the South or whatever, like, it's not entirely uncommon for there to be kind of like a small plot, like, a kind of local or family graveyard. Um, and I don't necessarily always associate it

with being spooky or scary. I kind of sometimes view it just as like nostalgic and like sort of an interesting connection to the past kind of that makes my imagine is like, who are these people? What lives did they lead? But back to the specifics of this story, the paralysis I think is very interesting. I've definitely had sleep paralysis where I've woken up mentally, more or less.

My eyes haven't opened. That's one thing that's very different. It seems like his eyes opened and he was, you know, looking around maybe. When I've had it happen, like, I can hear everything. I can hear people moving around me and I'm like, wake up, but like my body won't respond. It hasn't happened in a long time. I've never had that happen to me. Yeah, it's very strange.

Yeah, I can see that being incredibly unsettling. Yeah, but obviously the footsteps, it's kind of that. I love that element, because it's like hard to say whether they were kind of a half-dreamed sound. Like it was sort of bred out of the kind of panic of not being able to wake up, and then the like, your brain starts trying to fill in the gaps and even sometimes scare yourself

because we're so filled with stories. Like when something uncommon happens, like our body won't respond to us, our brain starts trying to make sense of it and grabs a story like a haunting or like someone coming or like to try and snap us out of it. Well, one thing that I found interesting in the story was that the dog was sitting right there.

Yeah. And it didn't seem bothered by it, which is unusual. Which is unusual. I feel like animals are usually very attuned to the supernatural, but also if it's a friendly ghost, maybe the dog is like, oh yeah, that's Carol. Like I've been hanging out with Carol since we came here. But then the dad story, that is like full on, full on spook factor.

Like that is just, that is the thing I imagine. Well, actually when I'm trying to spook myself out, like going down the stairs or like just being in my house and looking across the room to like a, like in a dark room in the window, through the window where it's lit more out there. I usually imagine far more sinister things happening. I don't know why we do that. Why do we do that, Brian? I think that's one of the big questions of this show for me. Why do we do this to ourselves? Well, I don't know why we do this to ourselves. I just think it's part of the human condition to

expect the unexpected or believe in the unexpected. Right, and to try and to anticipate. Yeah. I think that's why these stories all resonate with us over and over and over again, and they and the trying to anticipate. Yeah, and I think that's why these kind of stories all resonate with us over and over and over again, and they're so fascinating to us. We do have one more story though, so we're gonna jump to a quick break and be right back. From early morning workouts that need a boost,

A story, tell me about this story. This is the uplifting one. Yay! It's still a spooky story. Okay. But it warned my heart. All right. So this comes from Adam from Ohio.

From Ohio? One of my good friends and collaborators in movie world is Adam from Ohio. He might be the only Adam who lives in Ohio. He's probably the only Adam who lives in Ohio. Yeah, maybe it's him. And I can see him and there's a dog and he likes dogs. And I can see him wanting to send me an uplifting. Stop reading the story.

Okay, sorry. Okay, sorry. Okay, let's get the music going. And now you can read the story. All right. I never really believed in the supernatural or anything like that. Sure, I enjoyed a good ghost story around a campfire, but that was about it.

Then something happened to me that involved my dog Oreo that I wanted to share with you. I got Oreo from a shelter six years ago. He was this goofy black and white mixed breed with eyes that just melted your heart. Living alone, he was basically my everything. My roommate, my best friend, my reason to get up in the morning. You know how it is with dogs.

They just become your whole world. Everything was fine until all of a sudden one day I woke up and found him lying. Oh, okay. Everything was fine until all of a sudden one day I woke up and found him lying still at the foot of my bed. I'm sorry, Adam. That would be very, very hard. I tried to wake him, to resuscitate him, but he was already gone. The vet said it was probably a heart condition that we never knew about, just one of those terrible things that happens sometimes. Of course, I was completely devastated. I wrapped him in his favorite blanket and buried him in the backyard under the big oak

tree where he used to love chasing squirrels. Another oak tree, interesting. I even made a little marker with his name on it. Then, for three days, I just moped around the house. The silence was killing me. No clicking of nails on the hardwood floors, no jingling collar, no happy barking when the mailman came. The house felt so empty, and I felt so empty. The house felt so empty, and I felt so empty. Then something happened that I still can't explain. On the fourth day after Oreo died, I was making coffee and happened to look out my kitchen window into the backyard, and I literally dropped my mug because there was a dog sitting

there staring at the house. A black and white dog that looked exactly like Oreo. Exactly. Same markings, same size, everything. I ran outside and saw that the grave under the oak tree was undisturbed. But there was this dog. And when it saw me, it wagged its tail in that same happy way Oreo always did, with his whole body getting into it. I know how crazy this sounds, but it wasn't just that the dog looked like Oreo. It had this little scar above its right eye from where Oreo had scratched himself on a bush last year.

It had the same weird habit of sneezing three ti- this dog is the cutest thing. It had the same weird habit of sneezing three times in a row whenever it got excited. Even the way it sat slightly crooked because of that time Oreo pulled a muscle chasing a ball. Oh my god! You know, barring the fact that this is a zombie. It's an adorable zombie. It's very, very cute. But it didn't have a collar, and I knew. I knew that Oreo was dead and buried. I'd seen his body. I'd buried him myself.

This couldn't be happening. So at first, I was honestly scared to let this whatever it was into my house. I mean, what if it wasn't really a dog at all? What if it was something else just pretending to be Oreo? I know that sounds paranoid but in that moment all sorts of crazy thoughts were going through my head. But then night came and the dog started whining outside my door. That same specific whine that Oreo always did when he wanted attention. Starting low and then going up at the end. Like a question. I'd never heard another dog make that exact sound before,

and I couldn't take it, that whine, so I let the dog in. Maybe that was stupid, but I did it. And this dog, this Oreo that couldn't be Oreo, walked right in like he owned the place. Went straight to his old water bowl in the kitchen, curled up in his favorite spot on the couch, even did that weird thing Oreo always did where he had to walk in three circles before lying down. For the next few days everything was normal. Wonderfully impossibly normal. He ate the same amount of food Oreo always ate, he got excited about the same toys, he even barked at the neighbor's cat in that same frustrated way. It was like Oreo had never left, and honestly I thought of him not as a thing anymore, but as

Oreo, but back somehow. About a week after he came back, we were watching TV together on the couch. He was pressed up against my leg like he always used to do, and I was just absentmindedly petting him. Then when bedtime came around, he followed me upstairs and took his usual spot at the foot of my bed. But then he looked at me, and I saw that his eyes, I can't really explain it, but they seemed older somehow. Wiser. Like he knew something I didn't.

It wasn't scary exactly, just strange. I leaned down and kissed his head like I always used to do, told him I loved him, and went to sleep. The next morning, he was gone. No trace of him anywhere. I looked all over the neighborhood, but deep down, I knew I wouldn't find him. And I didn't. To this day, his grave under the oak tree is still undisturbed, and I'm not sure if it was Oreo or something else that visited me that week. But it happened when I needed it most, and I got to spend a few more days with my best friend. For that, I'm grateful.

Um. wow. It's like, I have very complicated feelings because it is kind of terrifying nevertheless. It is, it is creepy, but- Despite the fact that it's an adorable dog and everything's okay and it was- It warmed my heart, like that he got that extra time with whatever it was.

Yeah. And it's kind of, it reminds me of the Valiant Thor story in that it's a reminder that not all paranormal stories are about being chased or being scared or- Jump scares. Jump scares or being threatened or about some, that there's kind of more to it. There's another side to it. There's the magic in the unknown. There's the magic in the unknown.

As long as they don't involve the owls. Right. Right. Right. But yeah, when this story came in, I liked that it was about a dog, number one, let alone that I was so moved by the story by the end of it. You can tell how much Adam loved Oreo just by he's so aware,

these little idiosyncrasies that he's aware of. Have you had dogs, McCloud? I have, I grew up with two large dogs. So you know what it's like to have and lose a dog. And we had a cat that I guess, was it last Christmas or two Christmases ago passed away, which was very sad. But how would you react if, I mean,

not to bring your cat into the story, but like if you saw, it just showed up at your house again? I think kind of like Adam, I would be weirded out, but I would like accept it because, and it would feel, I mean, how do you not, when it's something that you know so well that is behaving exactly like the idea of like Luna, our cat, like very odd, we're very weird,

idiosyncratic cat who's very scared of most things. But like the idea of her like jumping, waiting for me to get on the bed and lay down so that she could jump up and get on my chest, like would be a welcome return to a meaningful feeling. Yeah, I think in my head though, I'd always in the back of my chest, like, would be a welcome return to a meaningful feeling. Yeah. I think in my head, though, I'd always in the back of my mind be like, what?

You're a ghost. You're like, what is happening? What is happening? Yes, it would be very, very strange. It would be very strange. I mean, honestly, just because I have kids, like, I'd probably view it a little bit more like, I wish you were Luna, but you're a cat,

a new strange cat that we don't know in my house and I need to get you out of my house because I don't know if you've had your shots. I don't know. Yeah. I've been, I don't know why, I've just been a chatterbox. I've just been a regular chatterbox this time around. Well, these have been some really provocative stories.

They are. Rather than just like, oh, that was scary and cool. You know, like I think I really enjoyed the variety and how they take the normal in our lives. And that's what a lot of these listener stories do, which is why I love doing the listener stories against, you know, aliens are attacking or whatever it might be, is that it takes what is so close to home for most of us, like having a pet, like seeing a bird outside your window, like falling asleep and

hearing something on the stairs, and bringing it to life in a way that is strange, unsettling, unnerving, or ultimately empowering in a cool way, you know, kind of, so. Yeah. But listeners, keep these great stories coming in. We love them. We love bringing them to you every week. The best place to send these to us is via email at stories at sightingspodcast.com. Alternately, you can find us on Instagram at SightingsPod. Shoot us a message on there or leave us a comment on Spotify. That's a great way to reach us as well.

Cool. And Brian, quick question. Have we ever kind of said to our listeners like the format we need, like the kind of how many, the word count or anything like that? No, I would prefer, we're really flexible. If your story is too short and it's a really awesome story, I will email you.

And we will find out how to, you know, what other memories you have that we can kind of pad it out. Okay. Or if it's too long, I will ask you. Generally we're looking for something about a thousand words, give or take, that takes about 10 minutes to read. So that's kind of the ideal marker.

But yeah, just whatever it is. I do prefer though that it is not one long thousand word run on sentence. We have gotten a few of those. That. Yeah, punctuation. Punctuation is your friend. But yeah, please keep sending them to us. We love these. And it's a really great way to, you know, have those interactions out.

Where are we going next week? We're actually staying international with this one though Okay in our international theme that seemed to be in this episode awesome a little bit. We are going to Germany for a

Spooky tale that I think is you're trying not to give us too many hints, aren't you? I'm trying really hard right now. You're trying to keep broad. Yeah, it happens in Germany and it's spooky. It's about Black Forest cake. It's about the cake, yep. It's about the cake. You got it. Killer cake.

Man eating cake, it will have its revenge. Well, it's a good one and I can say that this thing has, the thing that is in this story has been in a lot of movies, but trust me, you've never heard this one before. So... Aha! I got a juicy clue out of you. You got a clue about me.
