EP 7: The Rising (Part 2) Close Encounter Club podcast

56:14

What if the strangest night of your life happened before you even knew how to explain it? In this episode of Close Encounter Club, host Justin Gearhart sits down with Annie—a speech pathology student whose memory holds something much louder: a night when every car alarm in her apartment complex went off at the exact same time. She was only eight. Just a summer night, heading down to the car with a friend to grab a DVD. They noticed the old powder blue pickup behaving… oddly. Without warning, every car alarm in the lot erupted at once. No one else seemed to hear it. Not even their moms, just a few feet away. Join us as we explore one of the most subtle—and chilling—childhood encounters we’ve ever heard. It’s also the first episode to feature Scully , our new AI investigator—helping us dig deeper, question harder, and stay grounded in the search for truth. Got a story to share?

What if your earliest memories weren’t dreams at all—but visitations? In this episode of Close Encounter Club , host Justin Gearheart speaks with ForbiddenSnackie, a lifelong experiencer whose connection to extraterrestrial beings began in early childhood. Raised in a devout Mormon household, she drew detailed pictures of aliens before she even had the words to describe them—beings she called her “night family.” Over time, her memories expanded: telepathic communications, moments of missing time, and vivid encounters aboard craft that defied logic and gravity. But this isn’t just a story of abduction—it’s one of identity, consciousness, and rediscovering truths that were once hidden. Join us as we explore one of the most emotionally resonant and symbolically rich accounts of contact we’ve ever heard. Got a story to share?

A glowing red orb deep in the forest, an unseen presence watching from the shadows, and an overwhelming sense that he was being prepared for something far greater. Got a story to share?
