  • Episode 24 - A town enters another dimension and a horrifying predator stalks the streets of Portland
    Jun 30 2025

    In today's exploration, we delve into the unnerving tales of Tifton and the Sentinel. The first narrative, "One Night in Tifton," recounts the harrowing experience of a small town that inexplicably loses all connection to the outside world, only to face an encroaching terror that challenges their very existence. As the residents grapple with a pervasive silence, they awaken to the stark reality of a predatory presence that disrupts their isolation. Subsequently, we transition to "The Sentinel," which chronicles the eerie occurrences in a Portland neighborhood, where a new neighbor's arrival coincides with a series of mysterious pet disappearances and an unsettling shadow that lurks in the darkness. Through these tales, we encounter the thin veil between the ordinary and the extraordinary, urging us to confront the unknown lurking just beyond our perceptions.
