Encounters x284 - Indigenous Paranormal Stories

On this week’s Encounters episode, we’re honoring stories rooted in Indigenous culture, land, and legacy. Sabrina returns from a powerful trip to Peru — and shares a ritual led by an Inca healer (whose grandmother was chosen by Mother Nature herself after being struck by lightning). Then we dive into listener submissions: haunted dreams, shapeshifting spirits, shadow figures, and cosmic guardians... all with deep ancestral roots. Inside this episode: A recurring dream turns physical when a spirit drags a child by her feet — and the walls start scratching in real life A “three-legged dog” appears on a dark road… then again miles later — possibly a shapeshifter in disguise A child spirit wanders out of her mother’s body before birth and returns later, like a baby-sized astral projection A listener sees the same UFO years apart — on sacred land We also learn about a Raven Mocker, Cherokee beliefs on Bigfoot and why silver coins might save you from a Pukwudgie. 💌 If you have Indigenous heritage, a story tied to sacred land, or ancestral experiences with the paranormal — please send them in. These are some of the most powerful, bone-chilling stories we’ve ever heard. Books mentioned: Cherokee Earth Dwellers: Stories and Teachings of the Natural World by Christopher B.
