1 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,519 The scene is a trailer that faces the woods. A group of friends that 2 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,800 work the night shift are gathered hanging out. What's the worst that could happen? 3 00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:41,280 My name is Edward and here is Hayley's true scary story. Back when 4 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:48,719 I was I want to say eighteen and nineteen, me and my significant other 5 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,679 moved into a trailer and we never expected things to happen like they did there. 6 00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:04,840 We were young, we were night shift workers. Everything was our schedule. 7 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,280 We're always up at night, sleep throughout the day. We always had 8 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:19,079 friends and even with them being there, things would still happen. The first 9 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,400 event I noticed is when nobody else was there except me and my significant other. 10 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,359 We were laying down to go to sleep. I want to say it 11 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:37,879 was probably five or six in the morning. We were laying in bed and 12 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,480 he had fallen asleep. I had heard the bathroom door opening and closing because 13 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:48,560 it would squeak. Now, we had three cats, because there were three 14 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,200 of us in the house. Each one of us had a cat, and 15 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,359 I'm like, okay, what are the cats doing. We got to be 16 00:01:53,400 --> 00:02:02,439 messing with the door. I get up out of bed and I seen all 17 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,719 three cats sitting on the couch across in the living room, and I was 18 00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:10,400 like, Okay, maybe I imagined it. I go to go lay back 19 00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:23,560 down, and the dryer turned itself on. I turned it off. I 20 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,039 tried to ignore it and just chalk it up as something just out of my 21 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:35,039 imagination. Don't know why, but I did. We woke up after that 22 00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:45,439 and our side door was wide open with the dead bolt still locked, and 23 00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:53,280 no one else was there at the time. It was me, my significant 24 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,479 other, and his brother living there. His brother was at a friend's house, 25 00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:01,439 and we had no idea how that happened, and we let it go 26 00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:12,039 because it never happened. As time goes on and we're there longer, me 27 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,599 and my significant others started to fight more and more. The place just had 28 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:25,759 a really dark, heavy feeling to it. And after that first event, 29 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:34,960 I noticed anytime I was there alone, my one cat would run around terrified 30 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:45,439 of god knows what. One time I thought I'd seen somebody walk past our 31 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,439 living room window and he literally got down out of the window and was like 32 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:57,240 puffed up, scared, shaking, and I went outside and looked around because 33 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:05,439 there was a wrap around porch and there was nobody there. My significant other's 34 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,919 brother's name is Eric. It was Eric and our friend Nick sitting in the 35 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:15,240 living room talking. It's probably two three in the morning. We're just shooting 36 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,120 the crap with each other, having a good time, playing video games, 37 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,959 watching TV, and me and Eric are sitting on the couch. Nick had 38 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,839 gotten up to go to the bathroom. He was standing in my hallway. 39 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:36,800 I had a little fake candle lantern hanging there. Now was out of the 40 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,519 way where nobody could hit it. It wasn't gonna get bumped because it was 41 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,040 up high enough. He had walked by and gone to the bathroom, and 42 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:49,040 as he was coming back out, he was standing there talking. He was 43 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:56,560 behind the lantern and the hook was facing towards the living room, away from 44 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:06,160 him. The lantern had gotten lifted up off the hook and thrown at him. 45 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,720 It hit him and it broke, and we were all like, what 46 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,600 just happened. It scared all of us in a way, but we were 47 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:20,199 all kind of like like that, that's cool. I had never seen anything 48 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:27,639 like that before. Eric was just kind of like, are you okay, 49 00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:32,160 Oh my god, what just happened? And Nick was more like, who 50 00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:34,680 just threw that at me? How did that even happen, like he was 51 00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:39,160 just like trying to figure out and explain like how it happened, and we're 52 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:44,000 all sitting there and we could not figure out how it happened. We were 53 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:51,600 trying and we're like, there's no possible way. Shortly after that, me 54 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:59,759 and my friend Pacy were messing around on our phones thinking the spirit box apps 55 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,759 fake and there wasn't anything to them because we just took it as a joke. 56 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,680 Me and my friends watched the normal like YouTube paranormal investigations, just like 57 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,439 here and there, and we were watching I think it was Steve Huff and 58 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,439 I had the app open for one of the spirit boxes and it said Steve 59 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:31,000 and our internet completely cut out and everything just shut down all at the same 60 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:39,800 time, and the app stopped working, Internet stopped working, my friend's phone 61 00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:47,319 shut off and restart and we don't know why. In that house, there 62 00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:53,720 was just a lot of negativity. There was constant fighting and bickering between people. 63 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,920 We would sit in the backyard because we had a wrap around porch and 64 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,319 we would sit on the porch and the trailer faced the woods. You would 65 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:08,519 see lights throughout the woods and there'd be nobody back there. There'd be times 66 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:15,560 where it looked like floating lanterns that were like the paper lanterns, but there 67 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,279 wasn't any. There would be times, like you swear you would see people 68 00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:28,319 walk by and there'd be nobody out there. Shortly after the spirit Box, 69 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,240 we were sitting in one of the spare rooms that we had. It was 70 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,839 my friend Pacey and his ex girlfriends at the time. We were all in 71 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:46,399 there hanging out, and we all just got this really overwhelming urge to leave 72 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,560 the room because we felt just really uncomfortable. She was about to cry, 73 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,439 and I don't know why. See told me that he ended up seeing a 74 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,000 older looking with really dark long hair, and she was very creepy looking, 75 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,680 and she would just sit in the corner of that room. I had an 76 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,399 experience where I went to go lay down pretty early for a night shift worker, 77 00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:20,279 because like, my schedule was basically backwards at the time I went to 78 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:22,959 go lay down around two three in the morning. I was laying in bed. 79 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920 Everyone's out in the living room and who was over at the time was 80 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,839 out in the living room just having a good time and they're keeping it down. 81 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:33,720 But I was laying there and I just I seen this dark shadow figure 82 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:43,000 standing in the corner, and I got this really overwhelming, fearful urge to 83 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,759 get out of my own room, to the point where I was scared and 84 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:52,279 if I didn't leave the room, something bad was going to happen. So 85 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,879 I got up out of bed and acted, oh yeah, I was tired, 86 00:08:54,919 --> 00:09:05,440 but now I'm not. I'm just gonna come hang out. One of 87 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:11,759 the last days that we were there, my significant other's brother Eric had moved 88 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:16,200 out. At this point, it was just me and Jimmy. I was 89 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,879 there cleaning alone, trying to just finish up doing things for moving. And 90 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,759 I walked out into the kitchen and like, I had a pile of like 91 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,799 a couple of cans on the counter because we recycled everything, and I watched 92 00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:37,720 one slide straight across the counter. I looked at it and went no, 93 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,559 and walked into my bedroom and sat there until he came back from work. 94 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,960 I was like, I'm not doing this today. I don't want to do 95 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,720 this anymore because it was just so many little things that had added up. 96 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:56,120 I was just like, I can't, I'm done. Since moving out of 97 00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:05,360 there, we don't fight like we did there. It was so unhappy there. 98 00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:09,559 We moved out immediately. Our relationship got ten times better and stronger. 99 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:18,279 We don't fight like we did there. We don't argue, we don't nothing 100 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:26,000 like. It completely changed. After moving out of there, we moved into 101 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:35,679 a different apartment. Fast forward a few years later. I had our daughter 102 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,519 and I was walking up the stairs with her to go to her room. 103 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:45,679 At the top of the stairs, if you immediately turned your head to the 104 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,639 left was her room. There's a rocking chair where you could see it direct 105 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:54,759 line with the door. The older lady with the dark long hair was sitting 106 00:10:54,759 --> 00:11:01,440 in that rocking chair. It terror because I'm like, oh my god, 107 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:09,120 it followed me. I have since found out she's followed me because I was 108 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:16,720 the first person to not be nasty to her. She's not negative or anything 109 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:24,639 in any way. She's actually just hangs out, just watches. I've had 110 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,519 multiple people tell me about her. I've had people who I don't even know 111 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,840 come up and be like, you have an attachment, and I'm like, 112 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:37,919 yes, I know. I recently found out that she prefers to be called 113 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:46,399 Mary, and she watches over me and watches over my daughter because my daughter 114 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:52,919 reminds her of her own when she was alive. After moving out of that 115 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,919 house, I did do some research and found out that there were three people 116 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,879 who did pass away there. Two were heard to atad and one was a 117 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,120 suicide. And that was about all the information I could find about exactly what 118 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,720 happened in that house. There was not much else. I couldn't find much 119 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:20,639 on the land or anything like that. One of my best friends, Shae, 120 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:24,240 her high school friend Brie, we were at a party and she's like, 121 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:33,919 you have an attachment, and I'm like, I know, seeing her 122 00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:39,039 does scare me. And as of talking debris, Apparently she finds it funny 123 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,799 because I'm an easy target, as she puts it, just to mess with 124 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,039 me. But since finding that out, I'm like, okay, that's an 125 00:12:46,080 --> 00:13:01,639 off. Since I was little, I have always seen and noticed things around. 126 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:07,679 I just got to a point where I've learned to just Okay, that's 127 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,440 good, that's enough, let's stop for today. The crazy thing is, 128 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,360 even though all of this was happening to me and my friends, nothing ever 129 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,519 happened to my significant other, Jimmy. They never bothered him, they never 130 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:31,240 messed with him, they never showed themselves to him. But they were showing 131 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,960 themselves to the rest of us and bothering the rest of us. I feel 132 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:39,000 like his younger brother was heavily affected in that house. His younger brother very 133 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:45,559 depressed when he was there, and getting out, he isn't. He's much 134 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,759 happier, he's a bit more like. Things are better, things are good. 135 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:56,559 Like I had no reason to be as depressed as I was. There 136 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:03,639 was so much fighting, so much negativity, and we all moved out and 137 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:35,840 it all went away. It was all gone.
