15: S1E15 – Whispers from the Grave

Some voices call from the darkness. Others wait in silence… until you’re ready to listen. In this chilling episode, we venture into stories where the past refuses to stay buried and unseen forces lurk just beyond the veil of the ordinary. Tonight, the shadows are more than mere absence of light, and a whispered promise can be the most dangerous gift of all. Join Otis by the fire as he shares two haunting tales from the mind of Jeffrey Ebright—stories of those who sought knowledge, power, or a simple wish… only to find that some doors, once opened, can never be closed. Lean in close. The night is listening. And some whispers… were meant just for you. PODCAST SUMMARY "Parliament of Shades" by Jeffrey Ebright – When Emma Reardon moves to the United States for university, she expects to study history, not become a part of it. But after a night of celebration takes a horrifying turn, she finds herself stalked by shadowy figures that seem to exist just beyond the edges of reality. As she pieces together the mystery of their presence, she realizes the ghosts of the past may be more than just legend—and that some debts are never truly forgotten. A gripping tale of folklore, guilt, and the unseen forces that shape our fates. "The Wishing Man" by Jeffrey Ebright – In the quiet town of Waverly’s Crossing, a new shopkeeper arrives with a peculiar talent—he grants wishes. No catch, no tricks, just the promise of giving people exactly what they desire. But as the townsfolk line up to test his gifts, they soon learn that even the simplest wish can carry an unseen cost. Told through the voice of a man who has lived long enough to know better, this story is a haunting meditation on temptation, consequence, and the price we pay for getting what we want.
