In tonight's dead letter… our listener Daniel moves into a freshly built ranch house in the Salt Lake Valley back in 2011 — a house barely five years old, no tragic past, nothing "old and storied" about it. The first odd thing he notices is that every doorknob in the basement is on backwards, rigged to lock someone in from the outside. He's sixteen, he's got the whole basement to himself, and from the very first night down there he can't shake the feeling that he's being watched. Then one night around eleven, three sharp knocks land on the wall right behind his head — and that's only the start. REFERENCE LINKSLake Bonneville – WikipediaKanashibari (Japanese sleep paralysis) – Yokai.comSleep Paralysis and the Hag Phenomenon – NeurolaunchSudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome – The Order of the Good DeathBell Witch – WikipediaSkinwalker Ranch – WikipediaSkinwalker Ranch of Uintah County, Utah (the locks the Shermans found) – Legends of AmericaBaba Yaga – WikipediaAstonishing Legends: Skinwalker Ranch Part 1We're looking for more stories!

Afterwards, our hosts rehash Mizuki and Yae's friends to enemies plot, Mizuki's midlife crisis leading her to traveling across Teyvat for a century, and how many therapists there might actually be in Teyvat. Later, we'll walk through Mizuki's story and involvement in other nations. Will Teyvat's Disney Land be opening on Watatsumi Island?
