Hey There - thanks for reaching out to Never Have I had the Urge. Your message is safe with me. I read every note, even if I can't respond to each one personally.

What if the paranormal wasn’t something you had to chase… but something that eventually found you?

In Episode 10 of Never Have I Had the Urge, I explore humanity’s fascination with ghosts and the unknown—from ancient ghost stories and modern paranormal investigators to a chilling experience from my own teenage years growing up in Forest Hills, Queens, when a mysterious shadow figure appeared in my family’s apartment on a cold winter night.

Decades later, living in North Carolina, I believed that moment was just an unexplained memory from the past.

Until the day I met a mysterious woman from Peru.

What began as a casual lunch in downtown Durham quickly turned into a story about a childhood prophecy from a shaman who once told her family that she was destined to become a witch. Soon after, strange energy, eerie coincidences, and an unexplained moment inside my apartment left me wondering if some warnings in life are meant to be taken seriously.

Is there a connection between the shadow man from long ago and the woman who appeared years later?

Or was something — or someone — protecting me all along?

If you have a paranormal or ghost story you’d like to share, I’d love to hear it.

Hey There - thanks for reaching out to Never Have I had the Urge. Your message is safe with me. I read every note, even if I can't respond to each one personally.

In 1896 New York City, investigators began exploring a radical idea — that crime is not chaos, but pattern. More than a century later in Raleigh, North Carolina, that same principle would ripple through a small church community after a shocking 2006 restaurant murder left police searching for answers.

In this long-form true crime episode of Never Have I Had the Urge, Victor explores what it truly means to become a “person of interest.” When law enforcement begins narrowing the circle in a homicide investigation, proximity becomes everything. Timelines matter. Decisions matter. And sometimes doing the right thing does not shield you from scrutiny.

Blending historical context inspired by The Alienist, modern investigative process, and a deeply personal account of how suspicion can spread through grief-stricken communities, this episode examines:

• How homicide investigations actually work

• The real meaning of “person of interest”

• Criminal profiling and pattern recognition

• Forensic ballistics and evidence elimination

• The psychological impact of being questioned by police

• How trauma can linger long after a case is closed

This is not a story about accusation. It is a story about process, proximity, grief, and the emotional weight of scrutiny — even after the truth is uncovered.

Hey There - thanks for reaching out to Never Have I had the Urge. Your message is safe with me. I read every note, even if I can't respond to each one personally.

In this episode, I explore the quiet urge to go digging - into old memories, old conversations, old chapters that may have been better left closed.

Sometimes we believe we're searching for clarity, sometimes we're searching for the truth. Sometimes we're searching for closure. But what if digging only uncovers things we were never meant to find?

"Never Have I had the Urge... To Go Digging" is a reflection on restraint, curiosity, and the discipline of leaving certain doors unopened.
