Humberto and Caroline take a wild ride through various ghost stories. Someone get's possessed. Caroline nearly has a panic attack. The technical difficulties are surely a sign of paranormal activity and not just a bad Internet connection. This episode is not altered in anyway besides cutting out long pauses and off record conversation. There are no sound effects added. It's up to you to decide what is real and what is PARANORMAL.
