Summary

Ever walked into a dimly lit room certain that someone—or something—was staring right at you? A listener recounts his eerie trip to the notoriously haunted McPike Mansion in Alton, Illinois. Joined by a small group of scientifically inclined friends he descends into the pitch-black cellar, only to see an inexplicable silhouette hovering mere inches away from his fiancée. Adding to the tension, she feels goosebumps on just one side of her body. Coincidence? Infrared trick? Or a spirit who just wanted to say hello?
