Episode 426: We Were Never Alone

October 28, 2026 · 44 min

Show notes

Some encounters with the unexplained are terrifying. Others offer an unexpected sense of comfort. But all leave us wondering what, if anything, exists beyond death. In this special Halloween episode, Lex and Jac share more extraordinary stories from Firsties, including disturbing encounters, mysterious apparitions, and chilling evidence captured on camera. Are these coincidences, tricks of the mind, or glimpses of something we don't yet understand? Enjoy this year’s final Halloween tribute episode, because we’re back to the traditional format next week.
