Sometimes you can ignore the strange things that your kids see, until the strange things start happening to you as well. In the first story, a man is perturbed when his child mentions a dark round figure around the house, but chooses to ignore it as a figment of imagination. However, when he finds some of his cash missing each day, he starts to question what really is going on. In the second story, a woman brings home a beautiful painting from a trip to Vietnam. But when she hangs it up in her home, she starts to experience strange things at night; in particular, the sound of her door opening, and a little girl giggling.

When you live in densely populated cities, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of your neighbour through their window, especially if their buildings are closeby. Other times however, you can also catch a glimpse of your neighbour staring back at you. In this episode, we share a story of a woman and her strange encounter with her neighbour from the balcony across. From her room window, she sees a skinny man with sunglasses standing on his balcony and staring at her, even copying some of the things that she purchases such as bedsheets and potted plants. She didn't think too much about it until one day when she looks over and realizes that he's completely disappeared.

Helping out others is a virtue, but you should always be mindful of what you offer, especially if there's something trying to pay you back. In this episode, a listener shares a story about a man and his friend who come across a bar that they love. But during their visits, they keep seeing a strange lady standing outside and smoking incessantly, even if the freezing winter cold. And on one occasion, they notice the same lady struggling with her lighter, and offer theirs as a small gesture of kindness. One that the lady would do everything in her power to try and pay back.

While apps like Google Maps or Waze might be good at getting you to places, it may also sometimes take you to places that you probably shouldn't be at. In the first story, a group of boys decide to test their luck and play with a Ouija board during the middle of the Hungry Ghost Month. After a few nonsensical answers early on, the game starts to get serious when it correctly predicts the presence of someone in another room, and even provides an ominous premonition. In the second story, a man driving on the way home from a business trip is directed by his app to take a strange route. While he was initially puzzled as it was different from his previous journey, he followed the app thinking it would get him home faster; only to slowly notice that his surroundings were getting quieter and eerier, and that the roadside was entirely paved with grave stones.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most infamous urban legends from Shanghai, Linjia lane no 37. What started as the discovery of a grisly crime scene in 1956 would soon take a turn for the stranger as one of the bodies found had actually been pronounced dead 5 years ago. Later, testimonies from neighbours would uncover people who didn't age or strange symbols being drawn on their windows. And as if things couldn't get any weirder, floorplans would reveal a hidden room within the building, one that was strangely determined not to let anyone in.
