Identity Theft: Stories of Shapeshifters and Trickster Entities
A hot topic right now is the ethics of AI generated images and audio. What these programs are able to mimic can be scarily accurate. But this type of trickery has been going on for a long time…by spirits. People all over the world have been reporting seeing or hearing family or friends in places they actually weren’t. Spirits have already been doing what we fear AI will do in the future. So for this week’s episode, I wanted to share true stories from real people who have been targets of a spirit mimicking someone they knew, just to show you how common this phenomenon is. First, I tell the tale of a community in St Lucia haunted by a mysterious wolf. Then, I narrate the account of a girl who thought she was being tucked into bed by her father. Next, I recall the times a kid witnessed an entity mimic the members of his family. And finally, I read the experience of a person who had a close call with shapeshifting creatures at camp.
