1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,599
It was after moving to her family's
home in a small town back in two

2
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:15,960
thousand and two or two thousand and
three, when our storyteller started discovering that

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,640
those in her family had paranormal experiences. They had gotten used to them growing

4
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:28,120
up, and now it was going
to be her turn. My name is

5
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:44,240
Edwin, and here is Tricia true
scary story. Me and my mom and

6
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,640
my two older sisters. I'm the
youngest out of three girls. We moved

7
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:55,520
to South Texas, tiny itty bitty
town that back then was mostly populated by

8
00:00:55,679 --> 00:00:59,719
just my family. My family,
it's a huge family. I got five

9
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:08,159
ann and six uncles, so of
course all of them stayed there. And

10
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,400
the town is so small that it
used to be called dirt town and dogtown

11
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:21,000
just simply because that's mostly what populated
it. So me and my sisters and

12
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,799
my mom we moved down there to
stay with my grandpa for a short period

13
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,040
of time. I believe my family, my mom and dad were going through

14
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,079
marital issues, so it was just
like a little short separation. And I'd

15
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:38,280
always heard stories from my mom about
when she was growing up in that house,

16
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,200
my grandpa's house, Just little things
like she would say that she would

17
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,200
wake up in the middle of the
night and something was tugging at her blankets,

18
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,920
and it just became a norm for
everybody in the house. My grandpa

19
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,239
built it. We know. He
was between ninety nine and one hundred and

20
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,840
one when he passed, so it's
fairly old. I'd heard stories from mostly

21
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:07,439
my aunts and my mother about you
know, seeing things, especially seeing children

22
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,360
and animals like dogs and birds occasionally
that were in the house but no one

23
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,800
else could see them, or someone
else could see them, but the other

24
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:25,560
siblings couldn't. We had been there
maybe a couple weeks, and I'm always

25
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,400
on edge every time we go there, and we always went during the summers,

26
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:36,240
so this was new living there.
And the house is set up weird.

27
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,080
As soon as you walk into the
house, my grandpa's bed is right

28
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,960
there by that front door, and
you walk straight down into a kitchen,

29
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,960
and the kitchen is like the main
living here is the biggest room in the

30
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,840
house. If you go straight there's
a living room, small living room.

31
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,960
To the right of that living room
is two more rooms. It's like a

32
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,719
giant you and I was staying.
Me and my mother were sleeping in back

33
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,479
right room closer to the end of
the house, to the back of the

34
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,479
house, and every night I would
always wake her up to go to the

35
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:16,520
bathroom because I was too scared to
walk along. There was one instance,

36
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,960
and like I said, it was
a couple weeks maybe after we had moved

37
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,240
in that I was just like,
you know what, I'm going to be

38
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,560
strong, I'm going to be tough. I'm in third grade now. And

39
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,080
so I said that I was going
to get up and go to the bathroom

40
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,759
by myself and gets up in a
drink and snack on. And so I

41
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:38,400
didn't want to wake up my sisters
because they were sleeping in the room next

42
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,560
to me. So instead of using
their door to go into the kitchen then

43
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,400
into the bathroom, I walked through
the living room, through the corridor and

44
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,520
into the bathroom. So during that
whole period, of course, I'm a

45
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,039
little sketched out. It's dark,
it's I'm a little scared. I get

46
00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:01,560
into the bathroom and I remember that
I forgot to brush my teeth before I

47
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,280
went to bed, and Mom usually
checked all the toothbrushes before we went to

48
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:09,159
bed, and I was like,
oh, in my childlike mine, I'm

49
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:12,240
thinking I need to brush my teeth
or she's going to get up in the

50
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,879
middle of the night and check my
toothbrush, which I know now is just

51
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,560
ridiculous. So as I'm brushing my
teeth, it's one of those mirrors right

52
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560
above the sink that has like medicine
cabinets, so you can open the mirror

53
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,759
and there's just a nightlight on.
Because Grandpa is asleep right next to the

54
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:30,319
bathroom, I didn't want to turn
the bathroom light completely on, and I

55
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,199
left the door open because I was
scared. So it's just a nightlight and

56
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:44,279
I'm brushing my teeth and I look
up into the mirror and I could have

57
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:50,480
swore I've seen something behind me,
and it looked about my hive. Now

58
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,519
the bathroom is the sink is like
it was really low, so that the

59
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,399
mirror was also pretty low, and
it was something maybe about my hives,

60
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,720
maybe a little bit taller. I
just could not make out what it was

61
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:08,079
for the life of me, but
I stood there for a couple seconds and

62
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,920
I just stared at it because of
course I'm thinking, oh, this is

63
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,399
one of my sisters. But then
I realized that I'm six years younger than

64
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,160
my middle sibling, so there's no
way. The high difference would just been

65
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:25,959
too much, and she's already tall
and I'm very short. Of course,

66
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,199
at that moment, once it set
in that and it seems like it took

67
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,720
forever for me, but I'm sure
in the moment it was just a few

68
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,680
seconds that I realized that was no
one that I knew. I am the

69
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:45,959
smallest person here and panics. Luckily, my mom heard me. She got

70
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,879
up and checked on me and walked
me back to the bedroom. That was

71
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,920
my very first experience there in the
home. My thea came over the next

72
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,399
day, I believe, and she
was asking how I was like in school,

73
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:08,920
and just normal conversation, and I
told her about what had happened in

74
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,600
the bathroom, and she told me
me, I don't worry about it.

75
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,120
It's just there's things in this house
that we grew up with that have always

76
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:26,240
been here, and there's nothing that's
going to hurt you. Even though that

77
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,439
felt good to hear that it wasn't
going to hurt me, it was still

78
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,040
terrifying to know that someone else knew
that there was something in the house.

79
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,480
And I asked her what it was, why was it there? Where did

80
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,759
it come from and she told me
that, and this is stories from the

81
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:56,360
town, but that Grandpa had built
the house over an old, disintegrated cemetery

82
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,480
that didn't have headstones anymore, but
when he bought the land, he knew

83
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,839
it was there because of course it
comes with the paperwork and stuff like that

84
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,240
from the city, and that it
was during like a black plague kind of

85
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,600
thing that was going rampant in that
area at that point in time, and

86
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:17,439
so of course there would have been
children. But she also said that there

87
00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:27,120
was one woman there that still had
relatives in the town that was considered to

88
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,759
be a witch, that everyone was
afraid of her and stuff of that sort,

89
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:40,319
and that she was supposedly buried there
as well. So whenever she told

90
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,240
me that, of course my mind
just ran and I asked my mom about

91
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,720
it later that night, and she
told me that she had never planned on

92
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:53,519
telling me those things because she didn't
want me to be scared of that house.

93
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,399
She wanted me to know that if
you hear something, you're not crazy,

94
00:07:56,959 --> 00:08:01,360
Tricia, You're not. But there's
nothing add here. So she just

95
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,839
wanted to completely omit the witch part, which I understand completely because I would

96
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,800
do that for my own children.
After that, I had a little bit

97
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,319
better understanding of what was in the
house, what was going on in the

98
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,199
house. So these strange noises that
I would hear, of course they startled

99
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:26,000
me, but I was still able
to live peacefully until maybe a month or

100
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,080
two in. I've finally gotten settled. I have a routine with school and

101
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,039
after school curriculums, and everything seems
to be going normal. I'm coexisting with

102
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,440
all these weird things, these shadow
things that you think everyone sees in the

103
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,320
corner of their eye, But when
you're in a situation like that, you

104
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:54,799
know that when you look it possibly
will still be there. One night,

105
00:08:54,879 --> 00:09:00,679
I'm sleeping in my bed with my
mom and I have to go to the

106
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,279
bathroom again, and instead of waking
her up, I tried to be brave

107
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,679
yet again. I'm looking out into
the living room, which is to my

108
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,240
right, and I can see straight
through the doorway. There's no doors to

109
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:18,720
the bedrooms at all, and I
can see what looks like just a black

110
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,200
mass standing there. And I'm thinking
to myself, all right, Tricia,

111
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:31,360
you're either one still path asleep,
or two it's your thea or it's your

112
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,840
siblings or your mom. So the
first thing I do is I check and

113
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,559
I see my mom. It's still
I'm feeling for her in the dark,

114
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,919
and I feel her. She's there, it's not her, and I'm just

115
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,559
at this point, I'm fixated on
it. I'm too scared to get up

116
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,039
to see if it's my siblings,
to see if it's my aunt. I

117
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,799
know it's not my grandpa because it's
not that tall. And as I'm looking

118
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:01,279
at it, I can see it
getting taller, like it's moving fullard and

119
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:07,639
at that point, there's just there
is no moving, there is no screaming.

120
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,639
In moments like that, you like
to think that you're gonna you're terrified,

121
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:16,240
you're gonna scream for help or try
and wake someone up, but you

122
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:22,120
don't really know how you're gonna react
until you're in that moment. And my

123
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,559
reaction was to freeze. I didn't
know what else to do. And as

124
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,000
I'm just staring at it, all
I can make out is a black silhouette

125
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,519
and it's just getting taller and taller. And what I noticed is it's not

126
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:43,879
just getting taller and staying in the
same place, it's getting closer until it's

127
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:48,759
in the doorway and these rooms are
any bitty. They're not big at all.

128
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,159
It was a full sized bed and
there was very minimal room. There

129
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:56,720
was enough room for a night stand
next to the bed, and that's it.

130
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,720
There was no closet, no dress, no room for it. So

131
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:07,320
if I was to crawl over my
mother and sit on the edge of the

132
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,159
bed, I would beat maybe two
feet from the doorway where whatever its standing.

133
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:20,559
And when it stopped moving and it
stopped growing, I could see what

134
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,120
looked like In my mind as an
adult, I picture it as a robe

135
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:31,559
maybe something like that, because it
looked like it was billowing, like it

136
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:37,320
was moving in wind. It makes
sense to think that now there was a

137
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:41,320
giant AC unit right there in the
living room, and if anything was there,

138
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,279
like physically there, then yeah,
the air from the AC unit would

139
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:50,919
be blowing it. But in that
moment, all I could see was this

140
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,279
black figure and it looked like a
cloak or, like I said, some

141
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:05,000
kind of robe, just swaying around
its legs. I just, at some

142
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:09,799
point my body finally decided that I'd
had enough of just standing there or sitting

143
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:16,840
there wondering what this was, and
I screamed and woke up my mom.

144
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:22,600
And of course she rushed to hern
on the lights and we talked about it,

145
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,840
and there is really nothing that she
could tell me other than you're okay,

146
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:30,559
I'm here, Let's pray. And
so that's what we would do when

147
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,639
I would after that night. We
would pray every single night. And she

148
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,799
said, this is what helped me
as a child. I'd hear scratching under

149
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,919
my pillows and I'd start pray.
My blankets would come off of me and

150
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:48,519
I'd start praying. So that's what
we did. Trisha's mother did her best

151
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,320
to help the situation, but soon
more stories of the members of her family

152
00:12:54,399 --> 00:13:07,960
start rising to the surface, and
more of that up. Now Me and

153
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,399
mom had been praying religiously, for
lack of better words, not just at

154
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,720
night, but if I heard something, I'd go tell her and we would

155
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:20,720
pray. If I felt weird,
I'd go tell her. We'd go pray.

156
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Like I said, a couple nights
maybe after that. My sister still

157
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:30,080
had a boyfriend. My oldest sister
still had a boyfriend back in our home

158
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,799
stay because we were supposed to be
going back, So she had a long

159
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,080
distance relationship and she would usually stay
up late at night and she would wait

160
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,879
for him to call. So this
night she's doing like she always sayes staying

161
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,240
up late waiting for him. She
when we talked to her the next morning,

162
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,039
she was saying how she just felt
so sick, like she not nauseous,

163
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:56,879
sick. But I don't know if
everyone does this, but my family,

164
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:03,720
especially the women, do get these
horrible gut feelings like dread or something

165
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:07,559
bad's going to happen. But we
all do it. And that's what my

166
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,519
sister said that she felt it just
something bad was not what's going to happen.

167
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:16,120
She did not feel right, but
he was taking longer than normal to

168
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:20,799
call, and she started falling asleep
in a rocking chair in her room that

169
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,600
is opposite of the house. And
she said as she fell asleep, she

170
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:28,559
could hear a few things like rustling, and she was like, okay,

171
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,120
my thea is in the next room. She probably got up or she's messing

172
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,039
around in her room. She didn't
think nothing of it. And she said,

173
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,600
all of a sudden, she felt
like tapping on her arm. And

174
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:48,120
at this point she's falling into I
would say rim sleep. She's about to

175
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:56,759
just be completely out until she feels
pain, sharp pain, and she jolts

176
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,600
up and there's nothing there. Of
course, nothing there. The next morning

177
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,840
we got up to go to school, and that's why she tells us what

178
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:11,200
happened, and she goes, Mom, look at this, and her arm

179
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,960
just looked like a grown man had
grabbed her and manhandled her. Ruts as

180
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,679
were already deep like green and purple
with yellow hues around like the fingerprints,

181
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,320
and you could see it like a
palm. I know. I was never

182
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:33,679
touched, thankfully, but that was
one of the scariest parts of being there.

183
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,200
It was shortly after that we left, like if my mom decided it's

184
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,399
time to go back, you had
enough of all these things. And those

185
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,080
were just the big manifestations that we
would see. And oh there was also

186
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,759
little things that we would hear,
tapping scratching under a pillows, just like

187
00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,679
Mom would hear it because she was
a little girl. There was a couple

188
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:06,679
instances where I would wake up in
the moment night and lean over and be

189
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,720
on the edge of the bed and
just laying there, and I could looking

190
00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:15,039
out close to the floor and it
would look like what I can picture in

191
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,759
my mind to be a giant slug
or something, just a mass crawling from

192
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,519
the foot of the bed around to
the side of the bed, and that

193
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,240
happened multiple times. But of course
as soon as I pulled that string on

194
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:37,120
my lamp, nothing was there.
And that was a frequent happening. But

195
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:41,080
even those times, I think there
may be one or two times that I

196
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,840
sat there and I let it get
close, because at this point I've grown

197
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:51,159
it's a normalcy. Just it happens. These things have been happening. You

198
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,919
get used to it, and I
let it get closer, and eventually it

199
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,720
stops on the rug. It always
stops on the little rug right next to

200
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,279
me. If I was to roll
off the bed, I would fall on

201
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:11,880
top of it, and it doesn't
move further. It just stayed there.

202
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:26,319
Turn on the light, nothing.
Those were those happenings were the biggest things

203
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:33,559
that I ever experienced there up until
probably I was fourteen and we had moved.

204
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:36,680
We had already moved back home for
our home state. Been there for

205
00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:40,319
years, and at this point we're
just visiting during the summer and I'm in

206
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:45,039
that same room where my sister got
touched. That's my room now every time

207
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:47,720
we go, and there's a mirror
on the closet door that I'm using to

208
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:49,920
do my makeup, and I could
see straight down the hallway and it leads

209
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,400
into the little corridor that goes straight
into the kitchen. I can see that

210
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,680
door perfectly, and I see a
man and a cowboy hat and he's walking

211
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,519
from the living room into the kitchen. I was like, oh, my

212
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:07,559
goodness, my favorite Theo's here.
I'm going to go run out there.

213
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:08,559
I hadn't seen him the whole time
we were there. We were about to

214
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,240
leave. It was close to school
time. Now I was so excited.

215
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,680
So I run out there and no
one's there. No one's there. My

216
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,440
siblings are all gone to my cousin's
house. My mom is taking a nap

217
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,599
in the living room on the couch, and my thea is in the room

218
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,200
next to me. And so I
run in her room and like, yeah,

219
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,000
did you see Uncle Tao? And
she goes, no, what are

220
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,880
you talking about. He ain't here. So I said, I just seen

221
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,640
a man that looked just like him, the same high cowboy hat he always

222
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,839
wears, and you could hear his
boots and everything. And she told me

223
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,720
she was like, oh, she
made a joke out of it. Next

224
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,759
time you see him roping. That's
my cowboy. He lives here too.

225
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,799
I was like, are you serious, and she goes, yeah, I'm

226
00:18:52,880 --> 00:19:00,039
very serious. I see him all
the time. And after that, I

227
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,000
was like, you know what,
I'm done with all this. I told

228
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:04,559
Mom I didn't want to come back
anymore. Of course we did, but

229
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:15,079
luckily I never had another experience there
After that, my grandpa passed away back

230
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,599
in I believe it was twenty fifteen
or twenty sixteen, and after he passed,

231
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,880
me and my family came down for
the Texas and it was a big

232
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,960
ordeal. My grandpa was very well
known there. He's even in a book

233
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,400
for being one of the last living
cowboys, and he was the last living

234
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,119
cowboy. So it was hundreds of
pounds, hundreds of people in this tiny

235
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:44,000
little town that didn't have at one
point in time more than fifty populations,

236
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:51,480
and it was amazing. It was
sometime maybe a week after the funeral.

237
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:56,079
I had already come back home after
the funeral. And this story is coming

238
00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:59,880
from my uncle, who never really
talked about these things. He didn't really

239
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,000
mention it, although we knew he
believed it and he's seen the things.

240
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:07,599
He just didn't talk about it.
There's a wheelchair, of course, in

241
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,680
the living room. During that time, my aunts and uncles, not all

242
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,920
of them, but quite a few
of them are going through the house.

243
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,720
They're talking about affairs. You know, what they're going to do with this,

244
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:19,759
who's going to take this and that? And you know what you do

245
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:30,359
normally when your parent passes. And
the wheelchair is just basically meandering in this

246
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:36,200
tiny living room by itself. Someone
walks in. It was over here to

247
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:37,599
the left in the luvan room,
by this couch. Now it's in the

248
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,880
right corner by the grandpa's rocking chair. At some point, my uncle,

249
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,960
I don't know how to explain it, other than he felt like they needed

250
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,880
to leave, that they just needed
to leave, that they didn't need to

251
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,240
stay there any longer. They needed
to go outside, and so they did.

252
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,359
They went outside. They're saying they're
goodbyes. They're talking about meaning begin

253
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:04,240
to do what they need to do
with the property. And at that point

254
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:11,000
in time, my uncle and one
other uncle by marriage or standing by this

255
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:17,279
big they're trucks and they look at
the house and they can see what looks

256
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,839
like One uncle says, it looked
like a man. One said it looked

257
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:25,279
like a woman, but in reality
they were a little bit of ways off.

258
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:30,759
They were on the road and they
could just see it waving, but

259
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,960
it looked happy, and no one
was scared of it. No one was

260
00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:40,079
scared. That was something that they
reiterated. We weren't scared, but we

261
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,359
knew it wasn't they said. We
knew it wasn't Dad. We knew it

262
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,519
wasn't mom. We'd never seen Mom
there before, we never felt her there,

263
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,160
But it wasn't either of them.
He wasn't, So we all just

264
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,759
chalked it up to being whatever was
in that house. The only time anyone

265
00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:03,839
ever supposedly got hurt was my sister, so we assume that everything that was

266
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:12,359
there was friendly. So our conclusion
to that was it was lonely because my

267
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,880
grandpa was gone for about a year
maybe two when he was sick and the

268
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,640
house was empty, and whatever was
there was just lonely, and that's what

269
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,480
they said. They said, it
just looked sad to see us go.

270
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,640
No one felt fear, no one
was scared of it. They almost felt

271
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,960
bad for it. And now one
of my aunts owns the house. We

272
00:22:38,039 --> 00:22:41,640
have family that if someone falls on
hard times. We let a cousin,

273
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,960
an aunt, and uncle. The
third cousin even go stay for a while.

274
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,279
It's still in the family. I
haven't been back since my grandpa passed,

275
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:57,039
so I don't know if anything still
happens in there. I do know

276
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:03,400
that the last uncle that I have
that lived there did say that he would

277
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,680
see animals in the house, a
lot dogs that they didn't have because they

278
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:14,400
didn't like dogs, or birds,
a big thing with birds that they would

279
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,079
see, but you would see them, but you wouldn't hear them. And

280
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,240
if you got a bird in your
house and it's flying and flapping, you

281
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:26,279
know you're going to hear it.
And they didn't hear them, so they

282
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:29,920
didn't know what that was. That
One of my uncles had said, the

283
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,119
one that was living there that seen
the birds, that he thought it was

284
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,720
just my grandpa always told them about
a story about a demon that he had

285
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,279
caught and set on fire in the
house and it was in the form of

286
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:48,759
a giant bird, so they just
chalked it up to maybe that's what that

287
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,440
was. But to right now,
as far as I know, no one's

288
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,000
living in the home. One of
my aunts goes and she checks up on

289
00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,680
it, and she's renovating it,
putting new floors, new rooms. So

290
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,960
when you go visits, she might
stay at Grandpa's. But other than that,

291
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:12,480
the house pretty much stays well empty
and we all feel for whatever is

292
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:19,200
there, because in reality, I
don't think it was I still don't think

293
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:25,680
it was anything malicious, and whatever
was there had been there for so long

294
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,279
before Grandpa built the house, and
then all these people, this family moves

295
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:34,799
in and then they have those people
there, and maybe they were kids.

296
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:38,799
They would scratch under the pillows or
pool blankets to try and play. Who

297
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:45,000
knows. I don't know, I
can speculate. But then everybody was just

298
00:24:45,039 --> 00:25:00,319
gone, and where do they go? Have you discovered a family seat?

299
