The Dark Line

The Dark Line

The Dark Line is a weekly paranormal podcast, releasing every Wednesday, where we invite listeners to share their true—and truly chilling—experiences with Ghostly Calls, Cryptid Sightings, Unanswered Mysteries, and the Unexplained. Each episode features three voicemails from people who've witnessed something they can't explain. Some are terrified. Others are skeptical. But all are haunting. Hosted by Sophia Thompson, a psychology-minded medical student, and Wylder Graves, a believer in ancient mysteries and the paranormal, the show unpacks each story from two distinct perspectives—scientific and supernatural. Narrated by the enigmatic Damian Talbott, whose haunting tone sets the stage, The Dark Line blends mystery, mood, and meaning into an immersive audio experience. Real people. Real locations. True encounters… and the strange space between—names withheld, identities protected. Knocking when no one is there.Imaginary friends… who aren't imaginary.Strange lights in the sky, followed by hours that vanish.A ghost in a graveyard who just wants to be remembered. These are just some of the types of calls that rang through the static… crossing the wire, and answered by The Dark Line.

Welcome to The Dark Line

Season 1 Episode 12 : Echoes in Empty Rooms

Tonight… we listen for what lingers in the places we thought were ours.

Somewhere beyond the hum of plastic and the creak of old wood…

there are movements that defy the ordinary.

Tonight, a doll won’t stay buried, a rocking horse drifts into moonlight,

and a locked door opens to a face no one can explain.

These aren’t bedtime stories. They are quiet violations of log...

This Wednesday on The Dark Line—

An attic holds a memory that won’t stop rocking.

A talking doll finds its way home—again and again.

And a boy knocks on the door of a house no one had moved into… only to find someone already inside.

In each call, something returns.

Not as a memory. Not as a dream.

But as a presence that won’t stay gone.


Three voices from the edge—each one echoing back from places we thought we’d left behind.

A phone goes missing…

Then answers itself with a voice that doesn’t belong.

A neighborhood poltergeist makes its rounds…

Moving from house to house, stealing sugar… and leaving only questions.

And a silent procession drift down a city street — shadow

by shadow…seen only by one.

Three calls. Three quiet intrusions. And three moments when

the strange arrives without ever knocking.

Somewhere between the static and the silence… three new voices come through.

A phone goes missing at a bar—then answers itself, with something laughing on the other end.

A neighborhood prankster, known only as “Billy,” moves between two homes… leaving misplaced sugar and chaos behind.

And at 2:30 a.m., a woman watches a procession of shadow-figures glide down a silent Jersey City street.

A shadow races down the hallway of an old house in Laguna Beach—seen once, and never explained.

A brother returns to the basement alone… and something unseen follows him out.

And in a quiet flat in Melbourne, a whisper from the attic becomes something much harder to ignore.

Three calls. Three encounters.

And three moments

that remind us: some things don’t stay behind.

A home with a history, where a hallway becomes a runway… and something not quite human starts moving faster than fear.

A New Mexico basement, where a brother walks out alone… but something walks out behind him.

And in Melbourne, the attic above isn’t empty—just waiting for its next turn to whisper.

Not all shadows hide. Some follow. Some return. And some?

Are already inside.

At a school fire drill, a grieving child is approached by a woman wearing her late mother’s coat… her sunglasses… her voice.
