In tonight’s dead letter, listener Jeannette shares a deeply
atmospheric story from a bike commute across one of the most
famous bridges in the world. Enveloped in the freezing, thick
San Francisco fog, what starts as a quiet ride she’s done a
million times turns into an inexplicable encounter with a
solitary figure standing near the edge. After a strangely
profound exchange of words, she looks back to find the massive
walkway entirely empty. She is convinced that he couldn’t have
had time to have taken his life in that brief moment. It opens
up a conversation about crisis apparitions, liminal spaces, and
the heavy emotional toll anchored to such a monumental
location.
