DeepSummary
The transcript begins with a harrowing story about the narrator and their mother staying at Harvey's Hotel in South Lake Tahoe when the narrator, at age 14, encountered a man trying to break into their hotel room door. Despite calling security, the intruder escaped before being apprehended.
Several other personal horror stories are then recounted, including discovering a woman lying injured on the side of the road after a car crash, being stalked and encountering a disturbing intruder while home alone with a child, encountering an aggressive stranger while boating in the UK, and family members experiencing paranormal phenomena like sleep paralysis and apparitions in their homes.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “I remember zoning out and focusing on the door. I very quietly and carefully looked through the peephole to see a grown man, probably in his early thirties, with a black hoodie on, trying to open our hotel room door.“ by Speaker A
- “It must have been about 3:30 or 4:00 a.m. at this point when I heard a crash outside the front of the house. It sounded metallic, like some kind of crunching and breaking of what I thought could be our satellite dish hitting the pavement of our driveway.“ by Speaker A
- “I looked up and met the glance of a wiry old man staring up at me from the bench in the terminal on the other side of the glass. I looked down and as my feet met the ground, I understepped and toppled face first and slid on, my arms tucked into my chest, colliding into the brick of the bus terminal wall just next to the door.“ by Speaker A
