Summary of Episode: The Evil in Room 611

Ken, a highly respected scientist and a non-believer in ghosts, recounts his unsettling experience in room 611 of his university halls in Belfast. On his first night, he witnesses a large black silhouette with a sense of pure evil. The figure moves, blankets ripple, and Ken lunges at it, causing it to disappear. The next night, he hears footsteps and his door being violently pounded. When he opens the door, there is no one there. The following year, two new students move into room 611 and experience similar nightmares and poltergeist activity. The podcast explores possible explanations such as hypnagogic hallucinations, electromagnetic activity, and the history of the room where several deaths occurred.
