DeepSummary
The podcast episode begins with Glynn Washington setting the scene and introducing identical twin sisters Melissa and Michelle Macedo. When they were in kindergarten, Melissa and Michelle moved into a new house where they felt like someone was watching them. A little girl named Melinda, who looked similar to them, would randomly appear and play with them without speaking.
As they grew older, Melinda's appearances became less frequent. One day, their mother reacted strangely when they mentioned Melinda, and they realized their mother didn't know who they were talking about. Years later, after visiting a psychic who mentioned they had a triplet sister who passed away, their mother finally revealed that Melinda was their stillborn triplet sister.
Melissa and Michelle were shocked to learn about their late triplet sister, but realized Melinda's spirit had been visiting and playing with them all those years. They feel a sense of comfort knowing her spirit is still with them, and hope to see her again one day with a better understanding.
