Episode notes
Raised Without Ghosts
- Melissa grew up Seventh-day Adventist and firmly disbelieved in ghosts until adulthood.
- Her upbringing taught that the dead "know nothing" and do not return as spirits.
Windowless IV Pharmacy
- Melissa described working at a closed-door home health pharmacy that makes IV meds and has few windows.
- The inner workspaces had tiny high windows so staff rarely saw daylight, which felt depressing.
Constant Surveillance At Work
- The pharmacy installed cameras everywhere and management monitored footage remotely, creating a watched atmosphere.
- Cameras initially recorded audio (illegal) and fueled staff discomfort and turnover.
