AI Summary
5 min read“I would rather it be a ghost.” That line, spoken by one of the hosts of Ghosteas midway through their 118th episode, captures the central terror of the hour. For Natalie’s birthday, the show collected listener stories about “froggers”—people secretly living inside someone else’s home—and the results are a catalogue of domestic dread that makes the paranormal feel almost comforting by comparison. The episode weaves together half a dozen accounts of hidden intruders, then pivots to a deeply personal story of demonic attachment, creating a throughline about the vulnerability of being watched, followed, and inhabited in the spaces where we should feel safest.

Happy birthday Nadoly!!!! This episode is dedicated entirely to you and it was curated to give you the biggest scare of your life! What’s the one set of circumstances that you think would be the most horrifying to Nadoly? If you guess phroggers living in your home unbeknownst to you, then you’d be correct! Today I’ve gathered several stories from our listeners who had people in their home creeping down from their attics at night to steal their food, dig through their belongings, and live a secret life right under the home owner’s noses. We’re deviating a little bit away from the paranormal for a day, but I promise I brought us back with a little ghostly desert at the end!
