EPISODE TWO
The Haunting of the Mystic Museum
A Real Ghost Encounter Told by Erick Yaro Wessel
“She’s attached to me.” In the second episode of The Strange Thing About: Ghost Stories, we step inside the world-renowned Mystic Museum in Burbank. Known for its collection of mortuary artifacts and occult oddities, the museum recently became the site of an undeniable haunting.
The Story:
It began with a door. A heavy, filigree-carved Victorian door purchased from a salvage yard to complete a new seance parlor. But as soon as the door was hung, the atmosphere of the shop changed.
Staff and customers began reporting the same thing: the sound of a little girl giggling and a figure in a white dress playing “peek-a-boo” through construction barriers. When owner Erick stayed late one night to investigate, he encountered a burst of cold wind and a giggle inches from his ear—only to find the security cameras frozen at exactly 3:00 AM.
The Evidence:
• The Security Loop: Footage that showed Erick talking to empty air, while the playback revealed a small hand reaching out for his shoulder.
• The Fingerprints: Tiny, child-sized marks appearing on the inside of locked display cases.
• The Witness Accounts: Dozens of visitors asking the same question: “Who is the little girl following you?”
