Ep.355 Shadows After Midnight

Ep.355 Shadows After Midnight

Published: 12 October 2025

In this episode, V, our guest from South Carolina, shares a lifetime of unsettling encounters that began in the countryside and followed them into their spiritual journey. From a Tommyknocker that appeared inside V’s home, to nights in the woods where shadow figures and other entities emerged after dark, V’s story blends the paranormal with the deeply personal. Along the way, V crossed paths with occult practitioners and even caught activity on video. The footage left law enforcement both unsurprised and cautionary. With friends as witnesses and a growing awareness of the demonic and occult side of things, this is a raw and candid look at what it’s like for V to live among forces most people deny exist.
