5 min read

On a summer night in rural Minnesota, a seven-year-old girl waited in her father’s truck while he ran to the backyard to grab something. Twenty minutes passed. Then a blinding white light flooded the yard. Her father walked back with a blank, emotionless face, insisting he’d been gone less than thirty seconds. He had no memory of the light. Years later, as a teenager, she watched a silent circle of white light hover directly above their car—and vanish the moment her father reached for his phone. This story, submitted by a listener named Hannah, is one of several first- and secondhand alien encounter accounts that anchor this episode of Two Girls One Ghost, a podcast that regularly collects paranormal experiences from its audience. The throughline here is not just the strangeness of the events, but the recurring patterns across them: missing time, trance-like states, the presence of triangular craft, and the unsettling possibility that abductions happen far more often than people realize.

Show Notes

We’re going full extraterrestrial this week and it’s not even Sabrina’s birthday. We’ve got listener stories of UFO sightings, alien abductions, missing time, and animal activity that is seriously hard to explain. We’re left with one very unsettling question: what exactly happens during those moments we can’t remember?

Close encounters include:

A young woman wakes up surrounded by exposed nails and discovers three mysterious figures standing over her, along with a strange mark around her wrist.
A meteor shower in the Black Hills takes a terrifying turn when several friends lose hours of time and witness animals standing motionless in perfect lines along the road.
A young girl watches her father disappear for more than 20 minutes, only for him to return confused and seemingly unaware that any time has passed.
A family spots a giant black triangle hovering above their garage, followed by missing time, a strange trance-like experience, and a terrifying figure watching through a bedroom window.
A lifelong series of strange encounters culminates in a bizarre dream, a mysterious rash, and the discovery that the man from the dream has somehow become a real-life neighbor.
