I'm Already Scared with Dr. Adam
Sep 11, 2026 · 30 min · 10 segments
A series of guest stars helps PRS yell at the ghost of a domestic abuser. I honestly don't know what else to say. What an episode. * * * Hosted on Acast. See…
Isn't that exciting? Let's start with Stephanie.
Stephanie has written into the pod before.
She's a big supporter of me.
Hi, Stephanie.
She says, That was a great story.
When my daughter was four, she had a lot of nightmares.
She had night terrors, which got worse because she was sleeping in a separate bedroom for the first time in her life.
So I kept a baby monitor in her room to hear her if she needed me.
One night, I am woken to an ear-piercing scream from my daughter's room.
I ran in there and she's terrified and muttering about the witch in the walls.
I quickly picked her up, but she wouldn't calm down while in her room.
I took her to my bed and she settled down and fell asleep.
A few minutes later, as I'm drifting off to sleep, I hear through the baby monitor, it's learning time from one of her toys.
I got the creep so badly, I turned off the monitor and went to sleep.
The next morning, I checked that toy to see if it had fallen on something, but it was sitting out in the middle of the floor.
It went into the trash immediately.
It still creeps me out seven years later.
So, Stephanie, I'm guessing that you did not put the toy there and your kid didn't put your toy there.
That is super her toy there.
That is super creepy.
Hope that you and your kiddo are doing just fine, by the way.
Thanks for being such a big supporter of everything that I do.
