You're searching around your pantry for a midnight snack. The light above goes out and the door behind you closes.

In the darkness you search with your hands for the door.

You need my help. This is a voice from darkness. Hello, this is Dr Malcolm Ryder, parapsycologist.

Here, as always, to answer your questions concerning the supernatural,

paranormal, and otherworldly.

And also, as always hopefully we have a wonderful show planned for you this evening.

I have two questions submitted from listeners one concerning a stretch of highway that seems to be following

our listener, haunting them.

And I'm afraid our other listener has been experiencing some bad luck. I might have a solution.

And tonight we'll introduce a new series, The Ravenswood Reliquary, where we'll dive into

cursed, haunted, or otherwise strange items that are locked away in the

vaults beneath Ravenswood, University.

We'll learn some of the stories associated with these curiosities and oddities,

and of the people who had the misfortune or sometimes privilege of having these items in their possession.

But first, let's get to your questions.
