Introducing: Whispers After Dark — The Apartment from Hell

Do Demons Actually Exist? Rikki Rockett and Tracy Weigh In: Whispers After Dark

Do demons actually exist — or are we filling the dark with something we can't name? In this 70-minute episode of *Chasing the Dark*, two guests — Rikki Rockett and Tracy — sat down with me to share personal paranormal experiences so unsettling, neither one can explain them away. Their encounters happened at different times, on different days, with zero overlap. And yet the questions they're left with are almost identical. This episode moves through the full spectrum of belief — from residual hauntings that replay trauma like a broken record, to the heated debate around haunted artifacts and whether objects can carry something dark inside them. Are spirits real? Are demons real? Do they exist in the way religion and folklore have always insisted — or is something else entirely happening in those moments when the air shifts and the room goes wrong? Rikki and Tracy don't claim to have all the answers. What they have are experiences that science hasn't closed the door on yet. If you've ever questioned what you saw, what you felt, or what followed you home — this one is for you. The paranormal isn't always loud. Sometimes it lives in the details you can't stop thinking about. Press play, and decide for yourself. *Follow Chasing the Dark on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts so you never miss an episode — until next time… stay aware of the quiet… because sometimes it's not the silence… it's what you start noticing in it.*
