Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Palimpsest is a horror fiction podcast created by Jamieson Ridenhour and Hayley Henninger. Each standalone season, written by Ridenhour and principally performed by Henninger, tells a story that centering on the themes of what haunts us personally and the unreliability of memory. Season one, which ran from October 31st 2017 to March 6th 2018, tells the story of Anneliese, a young woman who has just moved into a small apartment. Reeling from a bad breakup and still troubled by the death of her older sister Claire some ten years earlier, Anneliese hopes that the quaint old building and its quirky tenants will be provide her the atmosphere she needs in order to recover. To this end, she begins recording a series of journal entries on her phone to organize her thoughts and to perhaps share with someone later. But as she does so, things begin to happen that lead Anneliese to believe that all is not right with the house and possibly not with herself either.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Season two premiered on September 4th 2018. It centers on Ellen, a young woman in the 19th or early 20th century who runs away from her mother's business | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Palimpsest (Podcast) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Since the central theme of the series is the unreliability of individual memories, a central part of the drama for the audience is figuring out just when this trope is in effect and to what degree. | |

Angry Guard Dog | |
| Palimpsest (Podcast) / int_214c0753 | comment |
Angry Guard Dog: Mrs. Aikman's massive dog, Baskerville. Not only does he really hate Anneliese, but he's a threat to pretty much everything around him. Even Mrs. Aikman admits she's helpless to stop him as he rips up a carcass. But this is because she and the dog are both ghosts and the carcass she's watching him destroy is that of her own son, whom he attacked and killed. | |

Angsty Surviving Twin | |
| Palimpsest (Podcast) / int_322f6b34 | comment |
Angsty Surviving Twin: Although not twins in the biological sense, Anneliese and Claire shared that deep a bond, with Anneliese describing her older sister as her other half. To say that Anneliese has been severely screwed up by Claire's untimely passing is putting it very mildly. | |

Wretched Hive: The unnamed coastal 19th century American city in which the story takes place. Life for the underclass there seems to be as hard as in any depiction of the era. | |

| Palimpsest (Podcast) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Anneliese helps Mrs. Aikman's and Thomas's spirits reconcile and move on and she herself gets to reconcile with Claire. But then Claire's spirit doesn't leave, and it's implied that Anneliese is reverting to her unstable state in which she relies on her sister's ghost for everything. | |

Footprints of Muck: Anneliese eventually begins seeing a child's bloody footprints when ghosts are nearby. These footprints are actually her own from when she stepped in Claire's blood after shooting her. | |

Wham Line: "I know that we're okay. I know we'll be happy here." The way that it is said and the context that it is said in are utterly chilling, and the final words to the story. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness | |
| Palimpsest (Podcast) / int_5d5cc3fd | comment |
Through the Eyes of Madness: It is never really clear how real any of what Anneliese is seeing is. Not only does no one else interact with the ghosts but her, but there is no way to know if the Aikmans ever actually existed or if the box that tells her their story is part of her delusion as well. Even the ghostly voice and Baskerville's barking on the recordings could be something she faked to add credence to her stories. | |
