Into The Paranormal, Podcast With Tony Brueski

This isn’t just a ghost story—it’s a tale of demonic seduction, where the line between dreams and reality becomes terrifyingly blurred. In this episode, we explore the experience of a woman who finds herself entangled with an incubus, a demonic entity that thrives on lust and desire. At first, the encounters come through vivid, disturbingly intimate dreams that leave her feeling drained and disturbed upon waking. But soon, the visits stop being confined to sleep. The incubus starts appearing in her waking life, manifesting in shadowy forms and creating a dark, overwhelming presence in her home. As the entity grows stronger, it begins to invade her thoughts, her space, and even her relationships. This story doesn’t just delve into the experience of a haunting but also into the psychological toll of being targeted by something so dark and intimate. Is this demonic entity feeding off her fears, or is it something she’s unknowingly invited into her life? And most importantly, how do you fight something that knows you so well that it can seduce and torment you with the deepest corners of your mind?

Have you ever felt a connection to someone you’ve never met? In this haunting episode, a storyteller recalls growing up feeling inexplicably close to their late grandfather—someone they never had the chance to meet in life. At first, the experiences were subtle—comforting feelings, an occasional shadow in their peripheral vision, a presence they felt watching over them. But as they got older, those feelings shifted from comforting to unnerving. The shadows became clearer, more pronounced, and soon the presence wasn’t just watching, it was interacting. Is the spirit of their grandfather still tied to them, reaching across the veil to offer protection? Does that protection come with a price? The lines between love and fear blur as the unseen presence becomes stronger, and what was once a source of comfort starts to feel like an unwanted attachment. This story explores the idea of ancestral spirits and unseen connections, along with the darker side of having a constant, unseen companion that might not always have your best interests at heart. Can a family member's spirit become much darker, or is another entity masquerading as a loved one?

Children have wild imaginations; sometimes, their imaginary friends are written off as harmless. But what happens when that "imaginary" friend knows too much? When a child's playmate seems more real than make-believe? In this story, a mother realizes that her child’s imaginary friend isn’t as innocent as she first thought. At first, the games and conversations seem typical, but soon, the child begins sharing details about the "friend" they couldn’t possibly know. As the story unfolds, the invisible playmate starts making demands, giving instructions, and pushing boundaries in increasingly sinister ways. The child insists the friend is real, and strange occurrences around the house back up that claim—doors closing on their own, toys moving, and cold spots in the child's bedroom. Things escalate until the presence becomes undeniable. It’s not long before the entire family is caught in the grip of fear, with the invisible friend taking control of their lives. What started as an innocent childhood imagination turns into a horrifying ordeal of possession and manipulation. Is the family dealing with a powerful spirit or something much darker that has attached itself to the most innocent member of the household?

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon many people experience, but what happens when it takes on a much darker, more sinister edge? In this episode, we dive into the harrowing experience of a person whose sleep is no longer a place of peace but a nightly battle with shadowy figures that pin them down, leaving them completely helpless. The terror becomes all too real when these apparitions start to feel less like hallucinations and more like entities with a malicious purpose. Are these simply byproducts of a stressed and fatigued mind, or could something far more insidious be at work? Imagine waking up, fully conscious yet completely paralyzed, while something dark and malevolent hovers over you, waiting, watching, pressing its weight into your chest until you can’t breathe. This isn’t just one night of terror but a repeated cycle that leaves the storyteller questioning their very sanity. Throughout this episode, we’ll explore the thin line between sleep paralysis and the paranormal, dissect the phenomenon of nocturnal visitors, and ask the uncomfortable question: What if these figures aren’t just in your head?

In this chilling true story, a woman shares her experiences with the paranormal, beginning in her teenage years and continuing into adulthood. From posters fluttering mysteriously in her room to dark shadow figures standing by her bed, her encounters with the unknown escalate in intensity. Things take a dark turn when she experiences physical contact from an otherworldly entity that seems to follow her, showing up in different homes and even touching her while she sleeps. Along the way, she encounters strange music playing from broken toys, missing pets that reappear as ghostly apparitions, and unexplained phenomena that leave her questioning reality. This story is a testament to how some forces in our lives remain just out of sight, always lurking, always waiting. As the narrator comes to realize, the unexplained doesn’t simply disappear—it’s just waiting for the right moment to return.

In this chilling true story, a young man recounts the relentless haunting that has plagued him and his family since childhood. From eerie music emanating from closets to phantom footsteps on ceilings, the terror begins when they move into an apartment in Alameda. As the family relocates from city to city—Concord, Oakley, Brentwood—the malevolent presence follows, escalating its torment with each move. The entity manifests through disturbing phenomena: objects moving on their own, disembodied voices, and terrifying apparitions, including a girl with three knife cuts on her face and a mysterious boy who tries to warn him of impending danger. Desperate for relief, he attempts to cleanse his home, only to provoke a violent backlash that endangers his life and the lives of those around him. Even after seeking help from a priest and performing an exorcism, the haunting persists, suggesting that some forces are not easily vanquished. This harrowing account serves as a cautionary tale about the unseen shadows that may follow us, regardless of how far we run, and it questions the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.

In this eerie and unsettling true story, a young man shares his chilling encounters with Ouija boards throughout his life. From his first experience as a child where a broken board mysteriously repairs itself overnight, to a spirit that communicates with him using family initials he couldn't possibly know, his fascination with the supernatural deepens. But when he breaks a promise to his deceased mother and uses a Ouija board to contact her, the consequences are both emotionally powerful and deeply unsettling. The encounter with his mother’s spirit sets off a chain of strange events, including a room that remains unnaturally hot for days and a profound sense of guilt that haunts him. As he grows older, the encounters escalate further when he and his girlfriend Kyla invite a playful yet increasingly possessive spirit into their lives. What begins as a harmless fascination soon turns terrifying, as the spirit starts interacting physically with them, controlling their movements and sending objects flying. In the end, the narrator is left questioning whether he has truly severed the connection with these otherworldly forces, or if they continue to watch from the shadows, waiting for the next chance to make contact. This story serves as a powerful reminder that some doors, once opened, can never be fully closed.
