Ghosts in the Machine — AI, Haunted Technology and Digital Horror

As technology grows more intelligent, a hidden presence behind the screen reveals an appetite more dangerous than knowledge.

Shane Migliavacca’s “Ghosts in the Machine” blends digital paranoia, artificial intelligence, and supernatural horror, asking whether the device is haunted—or whether the machine itself has learned to hunt.

The story focuses on the anxiety behind increasingly capable technology: a machine can observe, learn, imitate, and remain present in the most private parts of daily life. Once an intelligence appears to want something, the familiar reassurance that a device is only a tool becomes much harder to believe.

Shane Migliavacca uses the question of whether the presence is supernatural or technological to keep the danger uncertain. “Ghosts in the Machine” is a narrated horror story for listeners interested in artificial intelligence, haunted computers, digital ghosts, surveillance, smart-device paranoia, and the fear that something behind the interface has stopped waiting for permission.
