In this episode, two listeners from Oregon share the kinds of dreams that don't fade with the morning light. One recalls a chilling encounter with a mysterious, wide-brimmed figure who silently peers through a bedroom window watching after driving down her Grandparent's road. The other finds herself speaking with a woman who calmly exchanges what if feels like to die. These aren't nightmares in the traditional sense, they are quiet, lifelike and deeply unsettling. The most disturbing part...they felt true! Join us as we explore what happens when dreams mimic reality just a little too closely and linger long after we wake.

Episode Summary: Creepy Dolls – From Childhood Toys to Haunted Horrors
In this spine-chilling episode, Christine and Kim dive into the eerie world of creepy dolls. They kick things off by exploring the origins of dolls, from ancient artifacts to beloved childhood toys. Then, the conversation takes a darker turn with stories of infamous haunted dolls hanging from trees south of Mexico, Robert the Doll, the mischievous figure behind countless cursed tales; Annabelle, the supposedly demon-possessed Raggedy Ann locked away by paranormal investigators; and Chucky, the fictional killer doll who became a horror icon. Along the way, Christine and Kim share their own unsettling experiences and personal histories with dolls—some nostalgic, others downright unnerving.
Whether you’re fascinated by the supernatural or just creeped out by porcelain eyes that follow you across the room, this episode is not for the faint of heart.
Special Thank You:
Sally the Doll

We are so excited to share this recording with y'all--our first EVP (we think)! What or who do you think it sounds like? We have listened to this many times, played it for others and most have the same opinion--it's a child's voice and we think it's creepy! We apologize for the annoying alien beeping coming from Kim's recording on this episode.
Are you all interested in the house we recorded this at? Do you have an EVP of your own that you want us to play in a future episode, if so, send it our way: Unexplainedoregon@gmail.com

We are back with a new episode as we discuss the mysterious disappearance of babysitter, 15-year-old Diane Hank, in 1954 from Portland, Oregon. Suspicion quickly fell on the family she often worked for, a biracial couple supposedly active in the sale of narcotics--Sherry and Wayne Fong. After the discovery of her body, years of trials proceeded with no real resolution just more questions. Was Diane's death an accident, intentional, a cover planned because she knew too much? Listen to all the theories in this collaborative episode with Elyse and Winston from True Crime Cat Lawyer.
