What are doppelgangers? In paranormal folklore, they're thought to be the apparitions of living people that spontaneously appear and just as quickly vanish. Some suggest they're supernatural entities and harbingers of misfortune. Others believe doppelgangers are actual physical beings, evil twins bent on wreaking havoc on the lives of the unsuspecting. In this episode, we feature the true story of a man whose friends and family have witnessed his appearance in unexplained locations. After that, we hear the story of a small group of security guards who discover an unearthly presence lurking on the sixth floor of a 100-year-old building. And finally, a mother and child are pranked by a back room dwelling ghost.

It's not unusual for children to develop imaginary friends. Playing games, holding entire conversations, and even blaming the imaginary friend for wrongdoings is commonplace. Many child development experts believe that these actions help a child practice and hone social skills and are typically nothing to worry about. But what if it seems it's not all in the child's imagination? What if it seems the imaginary friend exists in the real world? And what if the existence of that imaginary friend lasts well into the child's adulthood, and long after death? Explore the answers to these questions as we discuss the strange and curious case of Robert the Doll.

Urban folklore is rife with terrifying tales of bizarre, mysterious disappearances. But did you know that three of the most oft-repeated stories are actually fictional pieces written by author Ambrose Bierce in the late 1800s?

In October of 1888, three articles about strange, unsolved disappearances were published in the San Francisco Examiner. In the first, a slave owner in Alabama vanishes into thin air right before a group of eyewitnesses. In the second, a drunk Englishman takes a bet he can't run to the next town without stopping and vanishes without a trace after stumbling, nearly falling, but never hitting the ground. And in the third, a sixteen-year-old boy leaves his family's farmhouse to get some water from the nearby spring and is never seen again—even though his voice is heard on several occasions by his family, crying out from a distance, before growing fainter and fainter over the course of months and eventually fading away entirely.What these three articles had in common, aside from their mysterious nature, was the name of the author: Ambrose Bierce. Today, the stories are known far and wide and have become practically enmeshed in the DNA of modern paranormal lore—told and retold so many times that they've turned into urban legends that entirely ignore their origins. What may not be as well known, however, is the fact that Bierce himself would later become one of the most famous unsolved mysterious disappearances of the 20th century.What happened to Ambrose Bierce?

There's a charming old house in Nyack, New York, that's unlike any other in the country. Sure, it's haunted. But that's not all. It also bears the distinction of being the first "legally haunted" house in U.S. history. Built in 1890, the home once owned by George and Helen Ackley was the subject of a legal precedent now commonly called "the Ghostbusters ruling," which declared it illegal to sell someone a haunted house without warning them about it first. In this episode of the Castle of Spirits Paranormal Podcast, we pay a virtual visit to the Ackley House and learn all about the ghostly inhabitants whose posthumous occupancy resulted in a landmark court ruling.Links:Our Haunted House on the Hudson (Reader's Digest story)Stambovsky v.
