5 min read

Sabrina of Two Girls One Ghost is flying solo with co-host Corinne absent, so she brings in Alexis Linkletter—co-host of their new show Crimes of Reddit and an investigative journalist who reported on the Long Island serial killer case for Investigation Discovery’s Unravel. Alexis has a book coming out early next year called Between the Devil and the Tide, but today she’s here to talk paranormal Reddit stories. The throughline of the episode is that Reddit serves as an anonymous haven for people to share strange, often unbelievable experiences—whether criminal or paranormal—because they have nowhere else to turn. The conversation moves from Alexis’s personal ghost encounter to a broader discussion about sleep paralysis, consciousness, government mind-control experiments, and finally to a chilling Reddit story about a childhood haunted by a vengeful little girl named Elizabeth.

Show Notes

Sabrina’s Crimes of Reddit co-host, Alexis Linkletter, is filling in for Corinne, and we are diving into some seriously spooky Reddit stories, and a lot of paranormal rabbit holes. We’re talking creepy childhood encounters, sleep paralysis experiences, a possible visit from a grandmother, and a story about a little ghost girl who broke a child’s arm…twice.

And of course, Reddit leads us into a spiral about astral projection, the Gateway Tapes, declassified government experiments, déjà vu, reincarnation, and the possibility that our brains are only perceiving a tiny piece of what is actually out there.
