About this episode

Sometimes the spirits we encounter are benevolent and kind — like guardian angels. And sometimes, they wait, and watch, and wish us ill.

STORIES

Eunice

Tiffany’s keeps waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone walking around her room. Finally, one night, a woman materializes right in front of her, wearing the snazziest business casual attire she’s ever seen. But there’s one problem: this woman is a ghost.

Thank you, Tiffany, for sharing your story with Spooked!

Produced by Anne Ford, original score by Daniel Riera

Produced by Annie Nguyen, original score by Clay Xavier
