WPR: Afterlight Ep 4 — The Wrong One, Abandoned Van, Grief That Knocks

Stick around after the music for a haunting story from your favorite nighttime host!

Broadcasting from an abandoned van, Ken Fox reads a Sector 3 letter: a brother came back—not zombie, just… wrong. In “The Wrong One,” Ken unpacks doppelgänger lore and the quiet ways imitation slips into our camps: faces that fit, weight that doesn’t, names spoken like they were memorized, not lived. He lays out survival checks—blink on sting, reach for the cup’s true place, listen for messy human noise, and ask the story only two people know. A scarf knotted on a branch hints at hands that remember the wrong way.

Expect analog-horror atmosphere (engine tick, transformer hum, rain on metal), grief, impostors, and that creeping question: what did we bury—and what came back wearing its face?
