A girl figure seen twice in a sister’s house; a later vision of a murder-suicide
A caller the host introduces as [quote withheld] tells of seeing a girl standing behind their sister in the doorway of her bedroom, in the family’s three-bedroom house, during the day. The girl walks past the caller and disappears, and the door she seemed to enter is found shut. About a month later, they say, a worker named Guy reported seeing the same figure walk through the same door and vanish into the room across the hallway. The call is cut off as the caller describes a later “vision” of a murder-suicide that they present as explaining who the girl was.

The story as told
The host introduces the caller as [name withheld] in Phoenix. They begin by saying they have [quote withheld] and that spirits are drawn to them. They describe a day when only they and their sister were living in a three-bedroom house after their mother and niece moved out. Working in the front yard, they were repeatedly called inside by their sister. Standing at her bedroom door, they say, they saw a girl standing behind her. They asked [quote withheld] The girl looked at them, walked around their sister, walked past them, and disappeared behind them. Their sister said there was no friend and no girl. When they looked behind them, the bedroom door they believed the girl had entered was shut and, they say, had never opened. Their sister then told the caller she had called them in because she felt she was not alone and was frightened. They add that it was about four o’clock in the daytime and the girl looked as real as they or their sister did. About a month later, he says, his sister’s friend came over with two girls and one of his workers, Guy. Guy, left in the caller’s room, is said to have seen the same girl walk through the sister’s bedroom door and disappear into the room across the hallway. Guy is said to have searched that room, finding nobody there and the windows shut. The caller then describes “the psychic thing.” One morning, they say, they had a vision of a murder-suicide in which a woman who caught her husband fooling around shot him and then slashed her wrist with a razor blade. The host’s line [quote withheld] follows, and the call is then lost. The story ends there.

Scores, with reasons
An AI model gave these scores using a fixed set of scoring rules (scoring-v1). They are editorial judgments and rough guides, not the odds that anything paranormal happened. How scoring works.
Scored as a clear firsthand story with no one to back it up: directly witnessed, reasonably specific and well ordered, with an ordinary explanation only partly accounting for it. It is weakened by garbled passages, an abrupt cut-off, and an explanation that rests on a single unverifiable vision.
Evidence for and against
- Firsthand, first-person story of both sightings ([quote withheld]).
- Concrete reported detail: daytime, [quote withheld]; a specific observation that the door [quote withheld]
- A second person is said to have seen the same figure independently of the caller’s account ([quote withheld]).
- No address, date, or verifiable record is given, only first names (Guy, Carl) and the host’s [quote withheld]
- The labels showing who is speaking are confused throughout, including lines that appear to be the caller’s speech labeled as the host’s.
- The explanation (the murder-suicide vision) is a separate unverifiable experience, and the call ends before it is explained.
- Several lines are attributed to the host but read as the caller’s own telling or relayed dialogue.
- “Hillman” and “Carl” are unclear and may be transcription errors, so parts of the vision and the second incident cannot be securely reconstructed.
- The story is incomplete, so the caller’s explanation is never fully given.
- 1:17
- 1:24
- 3:40
What the model inferred (not said on air): The weights for each part of the score (source proximity 22, specificity 11, internal consistency 11, alternative explanations 10, calibration 8) are my judgment. Nothing in the transcript indicates whether either witness is accurate.
The story rests on the caller’s word plus a claimed second witness who never speaks on air, with no records or physical evidence examined. That puts it in the 11 to 25 band.
Evidence for and against
- The caller reports two separate firsthand sightings a month apart.
- A second person (Guy) is said to have seen the figure and questioned the caller about it.
- The caller reports checking the room afterward: “there's nobody” there and the windows were shut.
- No document, photograph, recording, or examination is mentioned anywhere in this story.
- The second witness relays only a brief reported sighting and does not speak on air.
- No checkable specifics: no address, dates, surnames, or records. The caller is identified only by first name and city, supplied by the host.
- A second witness is mentioned, but their statements come only through the caller. The transcript’s labels showing who is speaking make it hard to be certain who said what.
- 2:20
- 2:45
What the model inferred (not said on air): I am treating Guy’s reported sighting as a claim (hearsay within the transcript) rather than backing, since another witness speaking on air or examined documentation is what would raise this band.
A solid-looking figure seen in daylight walking through a room and vanishing, a shut door, and violent death imagery in the closing vision are unsettling. But they involve no threat to the caller and no sustained escalation.
Evidence for and against
- A figure that looks fully solid walks through the room past the caller and vanishes (“disappears behind me”).
- The door the figure appeared to enter had “never opened.”
- The closing material describes a vision of a husband shot and a woman slashing her wrist with a razor blade.
- No threat, injury, or physical contact is reported to the caller. Nothing hostile is described.
- The incidents happen in ordinary daytime home settings with other people around.
- The ending is an abrupt dropped call rather than an ominous resolution.
- The story cuts off, so any further development is unknown.
- 0:52
- 3:30
What the model inferred (not said on air): This is my judgment of the story’s effect on a listener, not a property of any event.
A familiar [quote withheld] setup with one distinctive element: a claimed later vision used to identify the figure and the manner of death.
Evidence for and against
- The figure is reported as appearing fully solid in daylight and simply walking through the space rather than appearing dramatically.
- The events are attached to a specific household situation (mother and niece had just moved out) and a claimed repeat a month later seen by a different person.
- The identification of the figure comes from a described waking vision of a murder-suicide rather than from research or a photograph.
- Core elements are common: a ghost at a doorway, a figure that walks past and vanishes, a closed door, a sibling witness.
- With a small pilot archive, the comparison with the rest of the archive carries little weight, so the published score is provisional.
- 3:05
What the model inferred (not said on air): The published value is the automated blend compared with the rest of the archive. This number is my estimate from the content alone.
Scoring confidence 0.55 · analysis confidence 0.60 · checked against outside sources: no · evidence available: The caller’s firsthand story; Claimed second witness (Guy) whose words are relayed by the caller, not spoken on air; Claimed clairvoyant vision, unverified; No photographs, recordings, documents, checkable records, addresses, or dates in the transcript. The originality score blends the model's score (55) with how rare the story's details are across the archive. This method is still provisional.
Ordinary explanations to consider
These are possibilities only. None is a finding about what happened.
- A living person in the house or just leaving it could account for the first sighting. The caller’s own reasoning about entry routes is the only check reported, and the shut door is offered as evidence against it. · The caller insists it was [quote withheld] and that [quote withheld] then finds the door shut.
- The murder-suicide “vision” is described as happening on waking in the morning and could correspond to a vivid dream or imagery on waking. The caller calls it “the psychic thing.” · The caller says [quote withheld] and [quote withheld] on waking.
- The reported sense of a presence could reflect unease in a recently emptied house. No sighting by the sister is reported. · The sister’s statement that she [quote withheld] and was scared, in a house where her mother and niece had recently moved out.
What stands out
The figure is reported as fully solid and walking through the room in daylight rather than appearing or fading. The only check offered is that the door it seemed to pass through was found shut. The caller then ties the figure to a death they say they saw in a morning vision.
