Welcome to “Episode 239: Mimics, the Shapeshifting Entities of Paranormal Lore”! Something is calling your name and it sounds just like someone you know, but when you go to check, you find the house empty. In this episode of Let’s Get Haunted, Aly and Nat explore the eerie phenomenon of mimics: paranormal entities said to imitate voices, faces, pets, and even inanimate objects to lure their victims closer. From centuries-old folklore about deceptive doubles to chilling modern-day encounters shared online, this episode peels back the layers of imitation, illusion, and the terror of seeing yourself (or someone you love) where they shouldn’t be.
