Today’s podcast features 2 stories about dark religious rituals. The audio for both of these stories has been pulled from our main YouTube channel and has been remastered for today's episode.
Story names, previews & links to original YouTube videos:
- #2 -- "Final Act" -- Something horrible was discovered on a farmer’s property in India — when police came to investigate, they thought they were looking at a shrine of some sort, but the truth was much darker (Original YouTube link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzWxP18uyMw)
- #1 -- "The Metamorphosis" -- There are many extreme religious practices and rituals out there, but there may be none more extreme than the Buddhist monk practice of "Sokushinbutsu" (Original YouTube link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxTkDA6DVc8)

Tristan Redman is a journalist who doesn’t believe in ghosts. But weird things happened in his teenage bedroom – weirder than normal. When, years later, he discovers subsequent occupants of his family home were haunted by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. Because by a strange coincidence, it just so happens that the house Tristan grew up in is right next door to a murder scene - where his wife’s great grandmother was killed by two gunshots to the face. Could there be a connection? Tristan decides to investigate and soon finds himself where no son-in-law should ever be: delving deep into his wife’s family history, asking questions no one wants answered. Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios present Ghost Story — a seven-part podcast series about family secrets, overwhelming coincidences and the things that come back to haunt us.

In the early morning hours of February 9, 2014, 17-year-old Lexi Sachs was asleep in her bed, inside of her parents' mansion in San Juan Capistrano, California – one of the nicest and most affluent neighborhoods in the country. And as she lay there, suddenly there was a loud bang on her door that woke her up. Instinctively, Lexi just pulled the covers up over her head like she did when she was a little kid and was scared. As she lay there, she held her breath, hoping the sound she just heard was in her dream, and not in real life. But then, she heard her little brother screaming in the hallway. At that point, Lexi threw off the covers and ran out of her room. And what she found at the end of the hallway would not only turn her life upside down, but it would also leave one of the wealthiest communities in Southern California in complete shock.
