{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Old Man Dayton","description":"In tonight's dead letter… three families lived in the same old house across the years, none of them knowing each other, and each one wound up sharing the place with the same two ghostly visitors. As kids, our listener Heather and her sister kept seeing a little boy who was never actually there when they looked closer. The adults saw someone different — an old man, solid enough that Heather's stepmother screamed for her father, certain a stranger had walked in. The corroboration of everything shows up in the form of a psychic.\n\nREFERENCE LINKS\n\nRelated Astonishing Legends Episodes\n\nAstonishing Legends — The Sallie House: Ghost in the Machine, Part 1 (Spotify)\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/20PwwC2p9Kq97H7yX370kO)\nAstonishing Legends — The True Story Behind the Conjuring, Part 1 (Spotify)\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rKA53XcmycZNBrrLO6xjg)\nAstonishing Legends — Sam the Sandown Clown, Ep 183 (Spotify)\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4AYUfURRV0JnpEDwzFKrRi)\nAstonishing Legends — The Fermi Paradox, Ep 022 (Spotify)\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/31FZ9J0t4FAcApjSIb2BZh)\nAstonishing Legends — Battle at Cisco Grove, Ep 246 (Spotify)\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Sba50tXNANjo5HN4Cbiyh)\nAstonishing Legends — Mantis Men, Ep 258 (episode page)\n (https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2023/05/13/ep-258-mantis-men)\nTopic & Background References\n\nPareidolia: why we see faces and figures in random shapes (Britannica)\n (https://www.britannica.com/topic/pareidolia)\nThe doppelgänger, the living double of folklore (Britannica)\n (https://www.britannica.com/art/doppelganger)\nVic Tandy and the 19 Hz \"haunted\" frequency of infrasound (Wikipedia)\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Tandy)\nThe Sallie House of Atchison, Kansas (Wikipedia)\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sallie_House)\nThe Perron family haunting, the true story behind \"The Conjuring\" (All That's Interesting)\n (https://allthatsinteresting.com/perron-family-haunting)\nSam the Sandown Clown: the 1973 Isle of Wight encounter (OnTheWight)\n (https://onthewight.com/the-sandown-clown-exploring-sam-the-isle-of-wights-surreal-1973-encounter/)\nThe Cisco Grove alien encounter of 1964 (UFO Casebook)\n (https://www.ufocasebook.com/ciscocounty1964.html)\nJohn Keel and the \"ultraterrestrials\" (Wikipedia)\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keel)\nThe Fermi paradox: \"Where is everybody?\" (Britannica)\n (https://www.britannica.com/science/Fermi-paradox)\nWormholes and the Einstein–Rosen bridge (Wikipedia)\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole)\nNatalie and Tara, \"doers of things\" on YouTube (Natalie and Tara)\n (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgLib_DNj3uS3wRC3PMGzhg)\nWe're looking for more stories!
