A night-shift convenience store clerk in rural Massachusetts encountered something inexplicable. A mysterious woman named Alva, dishevelled, carrying old photographs, appeared repeatedly in the wee hours of the morning. Over weeks, strange phenomena escalated: bloodless animal carcasses, supernatural cold, and a catatonic figure discovered in an abandoned cemetery shed.

Was Alva a troubled drifter or something far darker? This episode explores the blurred line between folklore and reality.

In each episode, I examine supernatural encounters through a technical lens, questioning what evidence suggests something genuinely otherworldly.
