DeepSummary
The episode begins with the host, Glynn Washington, introducing a story shared by the Strohm family about their experiences with unexplained occurrences in their new home, which was previously owned by Billy's great-grandparents. Angie and Billy recount various incidents where they heard strange noises, like banging from the kitchen and the sound of someone opening the front door at the same time every day, despite no one being there.
One particularly unsettling event occurred when their son, Chase, claimed that a man in a green suit had yelled at him to go inside and wake his mother after he had let the dog out. Upon reviewing old family photos, they realized the man in the green suit closely resembled Billy's great-grandfather, who was known to wear a green mechanic's suit. After hanging his great-grandparents' wedding photo in the foyer, Angie felt a sense of calm and gratitude, believing it was Billy's great-grandfather looking out for them.
Despite initial skepticism from Billy, the family came to accept the unexplained occurrences as the presence of Billy's great-grandfather, who seemed to be protecting them and ensuring their safety in the house he had once lived in. The experiences brought a sense of comfort, knowing that a familial presence was watching over them.
