Joan's Secret Place

microwaving aluminum specifically is known to cause arching, which can cause fires! (thick aluminum is fine, but thin aluminum like aluminum foil, and I assume the edge of an opened can is Not)

on top of that microwaving liquids can be dangerous as they get hot extremely quickly.

Notifications/typing noises in otherwise empty spaces

People waving you over from the side of the road and asking if you're their Lyft. Disappear the moment you look away

Abandoned warehouses that sometimes reverberate with an unheard bass

'Cold spots' where you can't get signal (that cannot be otherwise explained)

That dispensary with the blacked out windows? It used to be a Blockbuster until the manager got shot. If it's the right kind of night and you look real close and cup your hands to block out all the light? You can watch it happen, but they might see you

Newsletters from startups that no longer exist

Hype House haunted by the reason they had to make an apology video

Pictures of a stranger in your camera roll

At 2:30 every morning you can hear a ringing bell coming from the elementary school. Thing is, they switched to a digital tone in 2013. Also, it cannot be captured electronically

Finally someone gets it. Yes, taxi ghosts are already a thing. But! Their stories tend to be that they get into the cab and ride it a fair distance before disamappearing. This flavor only approaches your car and asks the question without actually getting in.

You're FaceTiming with your bestie as you walk around downtown, having the loudest conversation, phone arm fully extended, not paying attention to where you're going, like an asshole, when you bump into your bestie. The one that's on the phone. In her house. But she's right next to you. The call cuts off

If you drop a penny off the middle of the pedestrian bridge that goes over the highway at midnight and close your eyes, you can hear the pileup of '07 in real-time. Only problem is you won't be able to stop until it's over, and it was a big accident that took a long time and people don't die as quick as they do in movies

The arroyo dried up years ago, but kids playing in the tall grass and scrub still find the occasional dying fish. Not fossil, not skeleton, not dead, but dying. Not often enough to cause a hullabaloo, but, y'know, weird
