1
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:19,239
After a strange discovery in her home, things changed. Members of her family

2
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:25,160
were talking about seeing figures around the
house. What could they be? Where

3
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:32,799
did they come from? My name
is Edward and he is Stephanie's true scary

4
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:46,520
story. My story takes place in
two thousand and four in Santa Maria,

5
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,759
California. My parents bought their first
home. We were all excited to move

6
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:59,600
in. My dad he decided that
he didn't like some bushes that were located

7
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,960
in the front of the house.
So one day he just began digging out

8
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:11,040
the bushes. He suddenly came inside
the house, telling my mom and myself

9
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,480
to come out to see what he
had found. As he was digging with

10
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,799
the shovel, he hit something hard, so he started digging slowly and he

11
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:30,719
found a shopping bag like plastic bags. He grabbed whatever was inside that plastic

12
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:38,239
bag, and he showed my mom
and me. As he unwrapped the plastic

13
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:48,680
bag, he found this little statue
of a saint and we were just looking

14
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:56,400
at each other like, what is
this or why had the previous owners buried

15
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:02,480
this object? I thought, I
don't know, it was like maybe witchcraft

16
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:08,000
or a ritual that the past owners
had buried this little statue, but my

17
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,879
parents didn't really think anything of it. They brought it inside the house and

18
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,759
placed it in the living room.
After this event happened, my parents did

19
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,080
ask other family members that would go
to church a lot because we recognized that

20
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:28,360
this little statue was of a monk
and he had little animals around him.

21
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
My parents were asking around trying to
find answers, but it took them a

22
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:42,479
while to find out answers of who
this statue was. But during that time,

23
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,280
after my dad found that little statue, my brother, he was maybe

24
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:52,680
four to five years at the time, he began to tell my parents that

25
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,240
when he looked out the living room
window, he would see a reflection of

26
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,240
a woman, and my parents be
a woman, can you explain what this

27
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,159
woman looks like? My brother would
say that the woman seemed very nice and

28
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:13,280
that looked more like an angel,
that she was peaceful, she wasn't scary,

29
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680
And it didn't last long that my
brother kept seeing this woman in the

30
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:24,120
window. But also I would hear
my dad talking to my mom telling her

31
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,439
that he was experiencing paranormal stuff in
the house, and I would ask my

32
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,080
dad, like, what's going on? But he wouldn't want to tell me.

33
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,599
I did overhear one time telling my
mom that he saw this lady in

34
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:46,319
the hallway. But the lady wasn't
a peaceful lady or like an angel.

35
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,120
It was more like a he would
he said, a witch. And when

36
00:03:52,120 --> 00:04:00,120
I asked my dad, he just
said, don't worry about it. When

37
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,639
I passed, my parents actually found
out that the little statue that they dug

38
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,759
out from the front yard was of
Saint Francis. This saint actually looked out

39
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,199
after animals and nature. We still
have this little statue to estate in the

40
00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:20,079
living room. But I think this
was the event that led to other things

41
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:30,199
happening in the house. We jump
forward to twenty twelve, twenty thirteen.

42
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,920
That's when I began to have paranormal
experiences at my parents' house. So at

43
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,439
this time, I was in high
school and I was a little bit stressed,

44
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,519
juggling to school, works, sports, and other senior activities going on.

45
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:53,160
I began to experience things at night
when I was to sleep. It

46
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,040
started with me waking up, but
when I would wake up, I wouldn't

47
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,759
open my eyes because I could sense
that there was someone in the room that

48
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,879
I wasn't alone. I could sense
that there was someone standing at the edge

49
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:11,800
of my bed, or next to
my bed, or even above me,

50
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,240
like looking at me asleep, but
I just couldn't open my eyes. Instead,

51
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:21,480
I would just lay in my bed
and put the blankets over my head

52
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:28,199
and pray to see if I could
just fall back asleep. But during these

53
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,519
events, when I would wake up, I could hear my heart racing,

54
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,800
and I just had a lot of
fear, but I didn't know of what,

55
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,519
Like, I just had no idea
what was standing in my room.

56
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,879
I just knew that I wasn't alone. This kept going for a few nights,

57
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:56,839
but then it progressed. One night, I woke up to a tapping

58
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,519
noise next to my bed. I
had a night stay with the lamp and

59
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,800
a digital clock, so I would
set up my alarm till we're six thirty

60
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:11,680
am so that I could wake up
and go to school. Some nights,

61
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,920
I would wake up and again I
wouldn't open my eyes, just because I

62
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,839
was scared. But I would hear
like a knocking sound, like a tapping

63
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:27,439
sound, coming from next to my
nightstand. At first, I was like,

64
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:31,319
what is that. I just thought
it was a noise coming from outside,

65
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,319
so I just ignored it. But
I kept continuing to happen night after

66
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:44,399
night, and then I realized that
the knocking noise was coming from my nightstand.

67
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,519
It seemed if there was like a
person who had long nails and was

68
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,000
just tapping like their fingers with their
long nails on my nightstand. The noise

69
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,680
would come in knocks of three,
But again I didn't have the strength to

70
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,839
open my eyes to see what was
making this sound. Instead, I just

71
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:10,680
got my eyes shut and bury myself
in my blankets. And then I realized

72
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,800
that the knocks that were coming in
three that was something common like in the

73
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,120
paranormal world. I've heard that on
TV shows that people would hear knocks at

74
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,519
their front door and it would always
come in sets of three, or people

75
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,279
getting scratches, and I would always
come in sets of three. So I

76
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:35,800
knew that this was something not nice. It was something bad, but I

77
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:44,399
just kept it to myself and I
just tried to ignore it. The next

78
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:49,279
event that happened made me realize that
something was really going on in my room.

79
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,639
Like I mentioned before, I had
a digital clock and I would set

80
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,920
my alarm on weekdays for six thirty
am so I could get ready for high

81
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:05,279
school. So one night, my
alarm went off and I'm like, ough

82
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,199
already, Like I need a few
more hours of sleep. So I woke

83
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:16,959
up and I looked at my digital
clock and it said three am, and

84
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,839
I was like, what the heck? I set up my alarm at six

85
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,319
thirty am, but I was still
like not fully awake. So I just

86
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:30,040
turned it off and I just remember
I went back to sleep, but I

87
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:35,480
was really confused. The next day, the same thing happened again. I

88
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:41,639
woke up to my alarm going off
and it was three am. I didn't

89
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:45,200
think much of it. I just
turned it off and I just went back

90
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,120
to sleep. But then the third
night when it happened, I remember waking

91
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,279
up and thinking, WTF, what
is going on? This time, I

92
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,480
sat up on my bed, I
turned my lamp light on, and I

93
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:05,840
turned my alarm clock, and I
remember that I specifically checked my alarm clock

94
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,519
to see that it was set at
six thirty am, and it was so

95
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,200
during this time, I just got
a feeling like there was someone in my

96
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,279
room. My room called super cold
outside. It wasn't cold that night,

97
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:24,840
and I just got a weird feeling, you know, I realized that three

98
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:31,440
am means the witches or double time. So I just got super scared and

99
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:37,960
I began to realize, Okay,
my alarm went off at three am for

100
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:41,919
three nights, not to set up
three again, and I just got super

101
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,679
freaked out. I didn't know what
to do. I didn't want to wake

102
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:52,960
up my parents, so I decided
to keep my lamp light on and I

103
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,759
just tried to go back to sleep. But I don't even think I slept

104
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:03,120
good that night. But the next
morning, I did tell my parents what

105
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:05,799
had happened to me, that my
alarm went off at three am, but

106
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,360
my mom just told me to just
ignore it. My dad said the same

107
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:16,200
thing. He said, if that
happens, just pray and everything will be

108
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,240
fine. But my mom actually went
to church and she got holy water to

109
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,720
spray around the house and my room. But I never really understood why this

110
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:31,240
was happening to me. I never
saw someone in my room, but I

111
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:39,360
did feel like there was someone in
my room watching me asleep, watching me

112
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:46,759
just freaking out. I researched the
house to find out if someone had passed

113
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:52,879
away or if there was like a
big secret that happened in the house,

114
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,600
but I didn't find anything. My
parents were the third owners to own this

115
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,519
house, and I couldn't find anything
saying if someone died in the house.

116
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,960
I asked my parents when they bought
the house if they asked if someone had

117
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,799
passed away, and they said that
they did ask and they said no.

118
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,639
So I don't know why all of
a sudden there was like things going on

119
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,960
around the house. And I always
bring it back to my dad unburying that

120
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:28,519
statue of Saint Francis, So I
don't know why it was buried, or

121
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,720
if it was buried for a purpose, and my parents unburying that cost something

122
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,720
to trigger something around the house and
for all these things to occur, But

123
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:46,879
I didn't really get answers of why
things were happening. After high school,

124
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,360
I went away and I attended University
of California Riverside. I would come back

125
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:58,240
home during breaks, I would drive
back to Santa Maria and spend time here

126
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:01,679
at the house. And sometimes I
still when I would sleep here in my

127
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:05,919
room, I would have that feeling
that there was something in my room,

128
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:13,879
but I just kind of ignored it. When I was in college, during

129
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:18,120
my second or third year of college, I began to experience word things.

130
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:24,879
So I moved into these meal apartments. They were built within less than a

131
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,320
year, and then I moved into
those apartment complex and I had three roommates.

132
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,759
While in college, I began to
notice that throughout the day I would

133
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:39,000
get really tired, and that was
something not usual for me. It got

134
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,399
to the point where I would have
to take three, two four naps during

135
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:46,399
the day, so I thought something
was wrong. I went to the doctor

136
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,720
and the doctor said that there wasn't
anything wrong with me. But when I

137
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,519
would take my naps, and this
was in broad daylight, I began to

138
00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:01,159
experience a series of sleep paralysis.
And I had never in my life experience

139
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:07,799
sleep paralysis, and it's super scary. I would wake up and I would

140
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:15,919
have my eyes closed or partially open, but I could see shadows around in

141
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,080
my room movie and I tried so
hard to move my arm to stand up,

142
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,039
sit up on my bed, but
I just I couldn't. And it's

143
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:31,639
a moment in that situation, you
just feel like you have no power over

144
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,039
your body. If something happens,
like you're done because you can't move anything.

145
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:39,759
The only thing you can move is
for me. The only thing that

146
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,039
I was able to move where my
eyelids, but that's it. I had

147
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:46,480
no control of my body. I
couldn't even talk during those experiences. But

148
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,200
when I would have the sleep paralysis
and I would partially open my eyes,

149
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,799
I could see shadows in my room
during broad day light. Moving I had

150
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:03,039
no can't move any of my muscles. I just felt really stiff, And

151
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:09,519
in those instances I felt a lot
of fear and anxiety because I couldn't do

152
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,679
anything. The fact that I had
no control my body was so scary.

153
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:20,320
After my first sleep paralysis, I
did some research to understand is this normal?

154
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:26,159
Is this something that typical humans to
go through? And there's a lot

155
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,240
of articles out there, a lot
of information about sleep paralysis. But something

156
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:39,120
that caught my attention was reading this
article where some people who experience sleep paralysis

157
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:48,360
they actually see these like red eyes, something that I till this day have

158
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:52,639
not seen those. But I was
able to find an article talking about how

159
00:14:52,799 --> 00:15:01,360
some people who go through sleeperalyssis they
see shadows. When I talk about these

160
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:09,440
shadows have a human figured, so
they're tall. I can't really depict out

161
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,039
like their hands or their face or
their legs, but I could tell it's

162
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,039
the height of a human and it
has the same figure. But I know

163
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,679
in the articles that I read,
different people saw different types of shadow figures,

164
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:30,720
but to me, it was more
like a human shadow. After experiencing

165
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:35,240
sleep paralysis, a state where your
body becomes completely paralyzed while you sleep,

166
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,879
sometimes said to be accompanied by other
worldly entities surrounding the one experiencing everything,

167
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:48,240
Stephanie still has another problem and it's
about to announce itself. Her story continues

168
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:58,279
right after this stay with us.
After my first sleep paralysis, I was

169
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,000
a bit freaked out, but I'm
like, Okay, hopefully this is the

170
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,159
last time. But I would still
get really tired and I would go back

171
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,399
to my apartment and take naps,
and I would still go through this sleep

172
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,519
proalyssis moment and it was just the
same thing. I would wake up,

173
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,720
I couldn't move my body, and
I would see these shadows. But I

174
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:27,840
think one day, my sleep proalysses
just took a different turn. One day,

175
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,919
I got out of class and I
was super tired, so I decided

176
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,080
to go back to my apartment and
take a nap before my next class.

177
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,360
So when I got to my apartment. Only one of my roommates was there

178
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,679
and she was hanging out in the
living room. So I went to my

179
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:52,240
room and I took a nap.
I remember waking up in my room or

180
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:55,919
in a room. It was dark. At first, I couldn't realize if

181
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,799
I was in my apartment or where
I was, or if I was or

182
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,599
if I was fully awake. So
I was just laying in bed and surrounded

183
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,839
by darkness. And I started looking
around the room trying to adjust my eyesight,

184
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,000
and then I recognized my room.
It was my room back at my

185
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:22,559
parents' house. So I was in
Riverside, and Riverside to Santa Maria is

186
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,759
about a three to four hour drive. I was in my room. I

187
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:32,319
was just confused. I kept thinking, am I dreaming or what is going

188
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,079
on? I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming
in this dream or whatever it was.

189
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:42,039
I tried to get out of my
bed, but I couldn't move any of

190
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,079
my muscles, so I had no
control my muscles. So I was like

191
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:51,839
sleep paralysis again. But it was
just weird because I was at my parents'

192
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,279
house. So I began to panic
because I was trying to do whatever I

193
00:17:56,319 --> 00:18:00,880
could to get out of my bed, to sit up on my to just

194
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:06,079
move any of my muscles, but
I just couldn't. And then I began

195
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,240
to panic because I couldn't move anything. I had no control of my body.

196
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,720
And then I just had that feeling
again that there was someone in my

197
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,319
room with me, that I wasn't
alone. So I started to get a

198
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:25,680
lot of anxiety, and I tried
so hard to move my body to get

199
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,799
out of my bed. I even
tried to yell, but no words came

200
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:33,640
out. I could feel my mouth
my lips opening, but no sound came

201
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,799
out. When I was a little
girl and me and my brother would share

202
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,640
my room, my parents would tell
us that night, if you guys are

203
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,279
scared or need anything, and you
guys don't want to get up, just

204
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,000
knock on the wall. So are
one of the walls. We shared that

205
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:55,079
wall with my parents' room, so
they would tell us, just knock on

206
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,640
the wall and we will will hear
that you guys are knocking, and we'll

207
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:06,319
come and see what's wrong. So
I remember that I was still struggling to

208
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,119
like yell or to move my muscles, and for some reason, I was

209
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:17,519
able to move my body and I
was so scared that I just remembering my

210
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,920
parents telling me when I was a
little kid that if something was wrong and

211
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,039
I didn't want to get out of
bed, to just knock on the wall.

212
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:27,200
So when I had control of my
body, that's what I did.

213
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:30,160
I began to knock on the wall
to see if, like my mom could

214
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,240
come over and check on me.
But when I began to knock on the

215
00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:40,759
wall and I was knocking on this
wall like if I was punching someone,

216
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,319
like, I thought I was gonna, i don't know, leave a mark

217
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,000
on the wall or make a hole. But when I was knocking on the

218
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:52,799
wall, there was no sound,
and I panic and I began to punch

219
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,400
the wall even harder, thinking that
if I punched it harder, like a

220
00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:02,759
sound would like set a I would
be able to hear a sound. But

221
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,640
I just kept knocking. I couldn't
hear anything those sounds At this moment,

222
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:14,519
I don't know like what made me
get the courage, but I just began

223
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:17,960
to look around the room and I
didn't see anyone. So I was like,

224
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:21,920
Okay, I can feel that someone
is in my room, and I

225
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:25,160
sense that someone's in my room,
but I need to get out of bed

226
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,519
now that I have control in my
body, and I need to go and

227
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:33,559
like out into the hallway and go
and knock on my parents' door because something

228
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:40,160
is wrong. So I got out
of bed and I'm walking towards my door.

229
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,680
But next to my door is my
closet. So as I begin walking

230
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:52,240
towards my door, something catches my
attention around the area of my closet door.

231
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:59,720
So I began to look into that
direction and I see the shadow.

232
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,839
There's no figure to the shadow,
but it was like a big black shadow.

233
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,279
I don't know what got into me. I just began walking towards it,

234
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,480
and as I got closer, I
just remember me putting my hand out

235
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:22,119
to touch the shadow. And why
I have no idea why I decided to

236
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:30,000
do that. But as my hand
is getting closer to touching the shadow,

237
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:37,960
I just remember seeing the shadow start
moving, and as the shadows moving,

238
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:44,839
I saw this woman's face. And
until this day I remember the face of

239
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,359
this woman. It was just a
white, pale face with dark eyes.

240
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,640
And my hand is still out and
I'm still looking at this lady at her

241
00:21:53,720 --> 00:22:03,440
face. The face of this lady
to me not look peaceful. Her face

242
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:10,400
was white, pale white, and
her eyes were pitch black. It was

243
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:15,839
more like it was someone evil.
So I'm still reaching out. My hand

244
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:22,519
is still out trying to reach this
or touch the shadow thing. And then

245
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:29,799
I see the lady's hand reach out
to grab me, and she put her

246
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:33,240
hand on the back of my neck, and then she starts pulling me in

247
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,960
towards her, and I just stood
there frozen, and I'm still looking at

248
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:45,559
this lady's face. And as she's
pulling me in slowly, I begin to

249
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:52,599
see that her mouth is opening.
But her mouth was not normal, because

250
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:59,640
her mouth just kept opening up.
It was this wide like circle like her

251
00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:04,839
like. It's hard to explain how
big her mouth was, but I always

252
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,920
compare it to a shark's mouth because
when her mouth was wide open, I

253
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,319
could see sharp teeth and it wasn't
just one row of sharp teeth. It

254
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:22,279
was like rows and rows of these
very sharp teeth just going down all the

255
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:26,759
way to her throat. And I
just remember she's pulling me in. My

256
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,720
attention changed. I'm just looking at
her mouth and all these teeth, but

257
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:36,799
I'm not freaking out. I'm just
like, I'm looking at her mouth.

258
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:41,839
And then I'm looking at her eyes
and I'm scared, but I couldn't move,

259
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:45,759
and so she's pulling me in and
as she's pulling me in, I

260
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:55,359
just see darkness. And then I
wake up and I'm back at my apartment

261
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,440
in Riverside, and I just remember
like sitting up on my bed and looking

262
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,680
around me, and my heart is
pounding. I was sweatying, like I

263
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:11,240
was having a hard time breathing,
and I was freaking out. I was

264
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:15,480
like, what the heck did just
happen. I just sat on my bed.

265
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:21,559
I'm trying to calm down, and
then I feel this like burning sensation

266
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:25,920
on the back of my neck and
I touched the back of my neck and

267
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,799
I just felt something warm, something
just very warm. Once I calmed myself

268
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:34,799
down, I decided to go out
into the living room to see my roommate

269
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,440
was still out there, and she
was and I just told her, hey,

270
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,319
can you check the back of my
neck. It just feels very hot.

271
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:47,599
I don't know, I don't know, can you just check to see

272
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,480
if it's everything's fine. So she
took a look at the back of my

273
00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:57,079
neck and she said, you have
some scratch marks. Were you scratching yourself,

274
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,559
and for a few minutes, I
just looked at her and I didn't

275
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:06,279
talk to her, and she's did
you scratch herself? And I'm like no,

276
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:08,920
She's like, well, it's a
bit red too. I think you've

277
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:14,920
been scratching yourself a lot. And
I just remember looking at her confused and

278
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,920
not believing what she was saying.
Because in my dream where if it was

279
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:25,960
a dream, this evil lady she
put her hand on the back of my

280
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:32,880
neck, and so I told my
roommate, Okay, no, it wasn't

281
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,319
me scratching myself, but this is
what happened. So I told her about

282
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,359
my dream. And when I was
done telling her about my dream, she

283
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:44,880
was surprised, but she was also
scared because she's like, your room is

284
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,720
right next to my room. Whatever's
in your room like comes to my room.

285
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:52,559
But I'm like, no, I
don't think so. I think there's

286
00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:56,480
something attached to me, or there's
just something happening to me. I don't

287
00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:03,000
think it's gonna spread around the entire
apartment. Maybe there's a possibility, but

288
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:07,119
it's weird that I had this dream
where this lady placed her hand on the

289
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,880
back of my neck. She believed
me at that moment, she was a

290
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,279
bit scared too. That day,
I didn't even go to my next class

291
00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:19,319
because I was just very scared of
what had happened. And I remember later

292
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,240
that day I called to my parents
and told them about my experience, and

293
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:29,480
my dad just again told me,
when that happens, just pray, and

294
00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:34,160
that person that you're seeing, or
whoever you feel like someone's in the room

295
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,920
with you, they'll go away.
They'll leave you alone. But I asked

296
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,680
him, is this sort of like
the description of this lady that I'm talking

297
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:48,839
to you about? Is this the
lady that you were seeing in the hallway

298
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:55,039
at the house. But he it
was just silent, and he just told

299
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:59,680
me, don't worry about it.
Just focus about yourself and you'll get through

300
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,079
this. And just remember, if
you experienced something of your scared, just

301
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:11,640
pray and praying will help you.
I'm pretty sure my parents were really worried

302
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,920
about my experience, because that weekend, my parents actually came to visit and

303
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:22,200
they brought holy water and they sprayed
the entire appointment with holy water, and

304
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,200
they left a bottle of holy water
underneath my bed. But after that experience,

305
00:27:27,519 --> 00:27:33,000
I still had sleep paralysis, and
until this day, I still have

306
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:41,400
sleep paralysis, but they're not experiences
as extreme as back in twenty twelve or

307
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,519
when I was in high school or
in college. But until this day,

308
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:48,680
I never really found out who this
lady is or why she was in my

309
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:56,359
dream. But funny thing is that
last night, so I'm back at my

310
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,000
parents' house, back in my same
room, and last night I woke up

311
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,839
and I heard a tapping sound next
to my nightstand, and again I didn't

312
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,720
want to turn around and see what
was making that sound. I didn't want

313
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:14,720
to wake up, and that hasn't
happened in a while. I don't think

314
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:19,680
it's the house. I don't know. My parents are very like believers that

315
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:26,559
people bring in negative energy into the
house. So on their front door,

316
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,000
on the doorway inside the house,
on the top wall of the door,

317
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:37,359
they actually have the like scissors hanging
up there and they're open because they think

318
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:44,000
that's gonna help the bad energy go
away. I don't know why. I'm

319
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:49,759
pretty sure if he's saying worse things
than the experiences I've been through, but

320
00:28:51,240 --> 00:29:06,559
he's just not comfortable talking about it. Tap the three Dots, then podcast
