1
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,280
While living at home as a teenager, Karina experienced a strange visit from an

2
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:30,000
entity who manifested through whispers and other
noises. My name is Edwin and he

3
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:42,679
is Karina. It's true scary story. I think you can attract things.

4
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:52,840
I kind of have like near death
out of body experience, which is why

5
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,560
I feel like I attract certain things. And that's why, uh, like

6
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:07,359
I was targeted in the house.
I was like seven and I got sick

7
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:15,640
with medingitis and then I got encephalitis
and I had to be indused into a

8
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:23,439
comma, which lasted for three months. It was a scary experience and like

9
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:30,079
one that changed my life, like
completely, like I was. I woke

10
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:36,439
up paralyzed. I was like not
supposed to even be alive. I woke

11
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:42,519
up like a day before they were
gonna take me off of life support,

12
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:49,480
so off of the machines. So
during those three months, like I I

13
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:55,959
cannot open my eyes, but I
could hear everything, like the sounds of

14
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:04,359
the machines and even my mom like
telling me or at night I would come

15
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:14,599
in and out of consciousness and it
was so it's an indescribable feeling of feeling

16
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:20,759
helpless and trapped because you want to
comfort your mom and be like, oh,

17
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,560
like I'm okay, Like you don't
have to cry anymore, because like

18
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,120
I was seeing stuff in the hospital. I had to be moved from a

19
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:38,039
couple of rooms a couple of times, because once I learned how to talk

20
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,680
again, I was like, I
don't I don't feel comfortable here. There's

21
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:53,159
a man here, he won't leave
me alone. This happened a couple of

22
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,520
months into moving into our new house. It's a two story house, so

23
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:06,120
when you walking to the house is
like a straight hallway and then immediately you

24
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:10,280
have the upstairs, and then then
you have the downstairs, and then it's

25
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,719
the walkway to the kitchen. And
at the time everything was covered in carpet

26
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,240
because it was an old man that
lived there, and this happened like years

27
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:29,560
ago. Right off of that moving
in, we were very uncomfortable. I

28
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,120
don't know, we just fell just
creeped out, and we couldn't really explain

29
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:42,439
it. We could not sleep the
first night, and my parents just like

30
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,680
dismissed it, Oh, you just
need to get used to the new house,

31
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:52,800
and we're like, yeah, okay, but something just didn't feel right

32
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,680
and things were happen here and there, and it was things like we'd hear

33
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:05,439
our name being whispered in our ear, or like us hung out to each

34
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:10,479
other when there was nobody in the
room. You know, we just we

35
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,639
didn't even want to deal with it. Were just it's just in our mind.

36
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:19,120
We just didn't want to even tempt
the thought. And one night,

37
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:24,879
it was me and my sister were
sitting in the kitchen. It was pretty

38
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,439
late in the night, and we
would usually do that. We would where

39
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:34,920
kids it was cool to be up
late at night, and we were eating

40
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:43,079
cereal, just in the counter,
talking and we hear my mom get up

41
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,240
from her room and we're like,
oh, like, we're gonna get in

42
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,639
trouble. So we just sat there
and we're like, oh, okay,

43
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:58,279
we're waiting to get yelled that because
it wasn't the first time, and we

44
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:03,120
didn't hear anything. Soil we both
turned to look at the stairs because from

45
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:12,879
our where we were shitting down,
we could see the stairs and the hallway

46
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,040
that led into her room, and
so we both turned to look because it

47
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:24,279
was weird that we didn't hear her
start to nag about why we were awake,

48
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:30,839
and look at the time it was, so we turned and I turned

49
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,839
to my sister and I was like, hey, do you see mom?

50
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,079
She was like no, no,
and I was like okay. So we

51
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:45,560
heard the footsteps coming out of her
room and it kind of stopped before coming

52
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,519
down the stairs, and you could
clearly see everything, like it was clearly

53
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:59,720
visible, and we just spros.
We're just like we hear something, but

54
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,319
I don't see anything. And then
you hear also, my hats is like

55
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:13,439
very kreaky, like super creaky.
You can hear everything, like every step

56
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,839
you can hear. It's so loud
it's annoying. So we hear the her

57
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:25,399
footsteps come down the stairs and we're
still looking just staring at the stairs,

58
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:30,000
and we're just like at this point, we just didn't know what to do

59
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:36,639
where it's just quiet. And once
I got down the stairs, there's another

60
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:45,040
hallway that goes into the kitchen where
we were at and at this point I

61
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:49,600
looked at my sister and I was
like, hey, like I don't see

62
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:58,160
anything, and she was like me
either, like we both didn't see anything.

63
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,560
And so you hear the footsteps comes
down, come down the steps,

64
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:11,480
and then down the hallway into the
kitchen where we're at, and there's a

65
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,800
step right before you come down into
the kitchen, and the kitchen is a

66
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:23,120
different floor from the rest of the
house, so up until now, all

67
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:29,800
you hear is creaky footsteps because it
was all carpet and the kitchen floor was

68
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:39,839
tiled, so when we heard it
step down into the kitchen, all you

69
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:48,199
heard was like clocks. It was
terrifying. It was crazy because there was

70
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:57,399
like a couch blocking a little bit
of the of when you come down to

71
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:03,079
the doorway, and so automatically we
hear class and we're like, oh,

72
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,199
it's our dog, which is weird
because I thought that my sister had put

73
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:13,040
the dog in the garage, which
was what it stayed at night, and

74
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,839
but we both didn't say anything.
So as soon we heard that, I

75
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:24,959
called out to my dog and nothing
happened. There was no it was just

76
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:33,000
pure silent for whatfelver ever. But
it was just a few seconds. So

77
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,360
once at that point, like we
had stood up because we're chicken the shad

78
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,720
bushy our dog and at the same
time we're like creeped out, so we

79
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:52,200
stood up and then like we hear
our dog like start to go crazy in

80
00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:03,200
the garage behind us. So usually
as night, we put our dog in

81
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:13,120
the grauge and it was we had
called out to it and it was silent,

82
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,120
like my dog did not make a
sound when I called. But it

83
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:26,720
was like like a few minutes before
I'd say, everything just went crazy where

84
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,720
it started to run towards us.
We heard our dog start like barking,

85
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:43,440
like really aggressively, and this was
like happening in front of us, and

86
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,440
we're like, oh, like it
had dawned on us. That wasn't our

87
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:54,840
dog. So at the same time
that we took off running in the direction

88
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,559
of that sound, because we had
to go and cross it to get to

89
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,279
to get out of the kitchen.
At the same time that we were running,

90
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,720
we could hear the footsteps, the
Klai footsteps like run towards us.

91
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,240
But the thing was that one it
didn't sound like it had many feet.

92
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:26,120
It only sounded like it had two
feet, and two those footsteps were like

93
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:31,919
heavy. We took off. We
ran upstairs to my mom's soom and at

94
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:35,320
this point, like we were like
cheering up, we're crying, and we

95
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:41,480
were like yelling form a mom to
wake up. In that moment, it's

96
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:48,960
the exact moment where you feel your
heart dropped like out of your body where

97
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:54,240
you're like, it's the moment where
it hits you that it's real, and

98
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,960
it felt aggressive like it was it
didn't even happen. This happened in a

99
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:09,879
matter of minutes, but it was
the silence, and it was the prominent

100
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:18,519
footsteps where there was way to it
enough for you to think that it was

101
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:30,480
a person, a real person,
like heavily walking down the stairs, and

102
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,240
that's what skipped. Apart from that, like that's what made us jump and

103
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:43,159
run. Like for a long time, we could not talk about it without

104
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:50,639
cheering out. That was that's how
terrified we were. And we're like,

105
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:56,919
oh my god, like we heard
something and but we couldn't even talk from

106
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,399
like how terrified wewhere And my mom
basically was like she got mad at us

107
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:07,960
and was like, Oh, it's
your fault for being up this late.

108
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:13,720
This is what you get for watching
scary movies, and like totally dismissed us.

109
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,080
Well, I would have thought I
was crazy if my sister wasn't there

110
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:26,080
to experienced it. And that was
like one of the first concrete encounters in

111
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:37,559
the house, which man the house
really messes with your head. Karina then

112
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:52,039
begins to discover what is going on
in her house up next. The house

113
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:58,279
had been making for seven years,
and this was a beautiful house, like

114
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:05,360
it was in a good neighbord,
like it had no reason to be empty

115
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:11,440
for that long. So I thought
that was weird. For a long time,

116
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:20,440
I would tell myself, you have
to be crazy to be here,

117
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:26,000
because most of the time I was
the only one that would experience like hardcore

118
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:31,679
stuff. This was one of the
first experiences where it was me and another

119
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:37,440
person. We would hear stuff and
like small things would happen. It was

120
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,879
things that you could be like,
oh, it's in my mind, but

121
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:50,399
it seemed that I was the target
for it. You'd be sleeping or doing

122
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:56,519
something and you would hear like one
of either your name or one of my

123
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:01,919
sister's names whispered in your ear,
but to the point where you could feel

124
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,360
the breath of the person. And
I was like, okay, I was

125
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:13,679
streaming, okay, like maybe I
was distracted, and it's happening to everyone.

126
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:18,200
One of the scariest times was I
was in the bathroom and we're having

127
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,120
to cook out every but everybody was
outside and usually we come inside to do

128
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:28,039
things, and I was downstairs.
We're just where most of the activity will

129
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,720
happen. So I was in the
restaurant, was washing my hands and I

130
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:43,000
had stopped and I was like drying
my hands and I heard lying and I

131
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,000
was like, I called out to
my sister. I was like, oh,

132
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,720
I called out, I gotta stop
messing with me, like you're scary

133
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,360
me and no answer back. Was
like, oh my god, I'm gonna

134
00:14:52,480 --> 00:15:01,519
kill her because we were all creeped
out, and so I went out because

135
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:07,360
our rooms are connected, so my
room was connected to hers by the bathroom.

136
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,120
So I walked out into her room. I looked behind the door,

137
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,039
I looked all over her room and
there was nobody there. And then I

138
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,799
heard a whisper in my ear and
it was like get in and I was

139
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,919
like oh, and I was like
okay, and I couldn't move. I

140
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,840
was like frozen. I wanted to
run up the stairs so bad, but

141
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:33,480
I was just like you know that
moment where you're so scared, you're like

142
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,919
freezed, but you want to move. I was like that. So I'm

143
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,759
slowly walked out and when I was
like in the kitchen, that's when I

144
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:52,919
ran, and everybody goes outside.
My room for some reason, was the

145
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,879
coldest. It would get cold.
My room was like the coldest room in

146
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:06,879
the house, and it would get
cold at of nowhere. And so the

147
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:11,080
reason I tell you is how I
found out that it was haunted was these

148
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:19,720
experiences got so bad that I was
literally driving myself crazy, being like,

149
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,159
it can't be real, Like it's
all on your head. Maybe you want

150
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,759
to believe something. I fear like
maybe you want the attention, or I

151
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,120
was trying so hard to make sense
of it. But it got so bad

152
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:45,440
that and it got so bad that
I couldn't like because I could feel it.

153
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,399
I could feel like walking into my
room. Like it's hard to describe

154
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,519
it. I could hear it and
feel when it would walk into my room.

155
00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:00,639
And that's what was driving me in
saying I'm like, how can I

156
00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:06,400
have to be like crazy? Like
how am I? How did somebody hear

157
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:14,480
something come into a room. So
the best way I can describe it is

158
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:19,880
that the sound of silence when it's
quiet and you hear like that, like

159
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:26,200
almost like a light bus. It
was like if that light bus would get

160
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:33,000
really loud, but it was silence, and it was loud, loud enough

161
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,880
it'll be like almost like wing your
ear rings, but silence. That's how

162
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:45,279
I would let me know that it
was there. I would hear the sound

163
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:52,119
of silence, like almost bogging up, and I could feel like walk into

164
00:17:52,240 --> 00:18:02,119
my room because it was like automatically. It was like feeling like when you

165
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,599
know something is when you know somebody's
looking at you without you actually seeing them.

166
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,039
It's like that feeling where you happen
to look at you feel something.

167
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:21,720
So I would just happen to feel
something like come into my room or wherever

168
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:25,279
I was at. It drove me
insane. I was in a guard place,

169
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,400
like really depressed. I wouldn't sleep
throughout the night. I would wait

170
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:37,519
for the sun to come out to
fall asleep. And I was in high

171
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:42,680
school, so it was really like
affecting me to the point where I reached

172
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:48,680
out to a meetum and I was
like, I just need to know is

173
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,799
there something like am I crazy?
Or is there something in my house?

174
00:18:53,839 --> 00:19:00,599
I was very skeptical of her and
mediums in general. At this point.

175
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:06,000
I was desperate and she told me
things that nobody else knews. I was

176
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:10,920
like, Okay, she's legit,
and she did tell me, yeah,

177
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,480
there was a man and she had
to describe them like we had all seen

178
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:23,920
him, tall, slender around his
he was around like sixty three years old,

179
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:30,359
which I assume was the last owner
of the house. And she was

180
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,960
basically like, yeah, like there's
not much she can do. Yeah,

181
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:41,200
because I did try to cleanse the
house myself, like and nothing changed.

182
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:47,279
And she told me she was like, cleansing a house is not going to

183
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,559
work for you. And I was
like, I hadn't told her that,

184
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,000
and I had done that a day
before I had called her and I was

185
00:19:55,039 --> 00:20:00,839
like, oh, man, like
you let her know. Like he he

186
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:07,559
described my house, who was living
there, and how it was even structured.

187
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:15,960
So my house is thankfully very calm. But I do tend to experience

188
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:21,319
things more than most, and I
guess that would be like due to some

189
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:26,680
past I've become somewhat more sensitive to
it. And I was also told by

190
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,920
the medium that I was sensitive to
those things and that I shouldn't feel bad.

191
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:45,119
I'm not crazy. He was a
mean man. He liked to get

192
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:53,200
a reaction from him. He liked
to scare you or just like it would.

193
00:20:53,400 --> 00:21:00,720
It became such a normal thing that
like I would get angry, Like

194
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:06,839
in school, I'd be like I
would hear like knocks on my door or

195
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:11,599
somebody pushing on my door or just
random stuff, and I'd just I'd be

196
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,359
angry about and I'd be like,
come on, like I got to school

197
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:27,559
tomorrow, like can we not for
me? The house fell. I don't

198
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:36,920
know, it felt empty, it
felt lonely, like it just felt sad,

199
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,880
and so did all my sisters say
it felt weird, but in particularly

200
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:51,240
I felt sad, which wasn't you
know, scary at first until it was,

201
00:21:51,519 --> 00:22:03,160
you know, at night. Then
you'd be creeped out. They feel

202
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,640
like something belongs to them, so
they're gonna stay there. So like at

203
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,440
the same time as I am coming
into your territory, so you know,

204
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:30,640
