If you’re fascinated by the supernatural and/or the weird, this might just be your favorite new podcast.Kaelyn Moore presents a new episode of her sinister series Heart Starts Pounding: Horrors, Hauntings, and Mysteries every week exploring the spooky, the creepy, and the thrilling. Moore hails from a town in New England that carries a dark past, with a haunting case of a serial killer. The person who cracked the case at the time was none other than Moore’s grandfather, who was a junior reporter at the time — giving us an indication of Moore’s genetic knack for unpacking mysteries.

The third man factor: In the latest episode, Moore dives into the Third Man Factor phenomenon, which is when people in life and death situations feel a guiding presence or an incorporeal companion that sometimes manifests as audible voices and instructions to survive. She discusses its origins and etymology, and recounts stories told by famous explorers and grand-scale tragedy survivors who experienced it. While Moore does try to offer scientific explanations of the phenomenon, most of those who told their stories insist that it was a supernatural occurrence.

WHERE TO LISTEN- If you want to judge for yourself, you can listen to the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and on Moore’s website.
