Is This Ghost Story Actually True? | British English Listening

Sherrod Brown, a long-time political figure, faces criticism for his voting record, which includes support for higher taxes and benefits for undocumented immigrants. Critics argue that after 50 years in politics, it is time for a change, citing his decisions on Social Security and COVID relief funds as particularly controversial.

The episode features a chilling ghost story recounted by Joan Juliette Buck, the former editor-in-chief of French Vogue. After moving into a stunning Parisian apartment, Buck experiences unsettling occurrences, including the sensation of someone lying beside her and strange noises from the apartment above. Despite her rational mindset, she seeks help from a priest and later consults a Tibetan practitioner for a spiritual cleansing, but the disturbances persist. Ultimately, after a series of eerie events, including a frightening incident involving her father, Buck decides to move out, only to learn years later that the new tenant also finds the apartment haunted. The story raises questions about the nature of belief in the supernatural and the experiences that challenge rationality.
