1 00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:18,879 Have you ever had a strange feeling letting you know that something isn't quite right. 2 00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:26,079 Today we'll listen to a story about trusting that feeling or else paying the 3 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:34,280 consequences. My name is Edwin and here is all dose true scary story. 4 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,520 Towards the ending of nineteen ninety four, my mom and dad decided to move 5 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,560 us to a little tongue called Moline, Illinois, which that town lands around 6 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,320 a place called Tri City. We moved there due to the my dad not 7 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,719 being able to find work here in California. The job that he had a 8 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,480 pretty much to laid them off. Town was very, very mellow, working 9 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:11,640 class. Nobody bothered anybody. Everybody mostly kept to themselves and we ended up 10 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,159 moving into this house that was being rented out to us by this family. 11 00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:23,159 And this house was from the outside we could say it was a creepy kind 12 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:26,200 of look going up to it, the paint was brown. And during this 13 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,599 time around March, which is when this story takes place. This is during 14 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,040 the time when the singer Selena was murdered and my sister I remember she was 15 00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:42,799 like a huge fan. I recall her being devastated. This is the first 16 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:48,480 week when the news is just going crazy about the dead. Our parents were 17 00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:53,560 hardly ever home working. My dad would have worked graveyard shifts. My mom 18 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,400 would work from afternoon till we'd say, like eleven at night, so practically 19 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,319 we're always by ourselves. That day, I remember my sister was just non 20 00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:07,280 stop playing one of Selena's albums. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy her 21 00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:09,159 music. It was just it had just say, all right, I think 22 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:14,039 I'm gonna go do something else. So I recall going into our room that 23 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,599 me and my sister shared. I was always been a guy who likes to 24 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,240 draw and do little artistic things, and going in my room, grabbing up 25 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,719 the pad and pencil and just started drawing. Fifteen minutes later, my sister 26 00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:30,240 says, Hey, I'm going down to the basement. Please don't shut off 27 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:36,840 the music. I'll be right back up, okay. Our basement was towards 28 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:42,520 the kitchen. I recall her opening the door and hearing her walk downstairs to 29 00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:51,560 the basement. I remember when that happened. The music just stopped just I 30 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,800 don't know where it just stopped, and I thought, oh, maybe the 31 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,879 city skipped and she's been playing it so much that the city's probably scratched her 32 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,599 dirty. Okay whatever, keep doing what I'm doing. And I can hear 33 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:06,080 it downstairs and looking for around for something, and I heard a knock towards 34 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,639 the closet. That's not really that wasn't really that far from where I was 35 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,919 sitting, literally a step away. Hear the knock. I was like, 36 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:17,439 okay, you know what, maybe the house is just settling. It's during 37 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:23,199 the winter that happens in every house. Went back to where I was doing. 38 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,039 Then about let's say fifteen seconds later, this time it was two, 39 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,000 all right, this isn't Yeah, I could clearly hear this is You could 40 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:42,039 feel the like almost the force from the knocking, like you could feel like 41 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,639 the knuckle hitting the wood. Got up thinking okay, well would I do 42 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,120 if something was there? So just mastered the courage, opened the door and 43 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:59,719 as anyone else will tell you the course, nothing there. Okay, close 44 00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:04,199 the door. And as I turned to my left side, now I'm looking 45 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,960 at the edge of my bed where the we could say the wood is at 46 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,560 the end of the bed, and I just recall seeing someone rise up, 47 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,279 if they were slightly hunched over, rise up from the side of the edge 48 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,680 of my bed and look at me. But I just see half their face, 49 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,800 like from where half their nose would start to the other side. Right 50 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:33,560 away I could identify that it's a woman. I remember her wearing red lipstick. 51 00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:41,480 Her hair was straight. She looked like what was like a white shirt, 52 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,319 like a long sleeved like dress shirt, kind of like when women would 53 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,319 do in the nineties, how they would roll up the front end and then 54 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:54,680 tie it, and it looked like that how that's how her shirt was placed. 55 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:59,279 And saw a little bit would be her jeans and they were like a 56 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,639 light blue. And immediately when I saw that, I was like, oh, 57 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,920 my sister, hey, is that you? And as I got closer, 58 00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:13,199 it like slowly went back down, and I remember I just paused and 59 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,199 then walked up a little closer and stared out of my mind. What was 60 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:23,519 that that I just saw? As I got closer and closer and nothing, 61 00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:30,120 nothing there, And I remember the blood just rushing out of my like my 62 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,480 head like this tingling feeling, like is this for real? Is this like 63 00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:39,160 reality right now? Especially coming from a seven year old trying to depict if 64 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,920 this is reality or not. When that happened, immediately hear the door open 65 00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:48,319 back from the basement, and when that happened, the music immediately starts off 66 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:55,399 back up again, and my sister comes up to me and tells me, 67 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,079 hey, I thought I told you not to shut off the music. I'm 68 00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:00,279 like, what are you talking about. I didn't. What are you talking 69 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,639 about? Clearly heard you shut off the music when I was already downstairs. 70 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,279 Remember the bass. You could hear the bass from the basement, Like you 71 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,600 shut it off. I'm like, no, I didn't. I decided not 72 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,439 to tell my sister that. I was like, I don't want to scare 73 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,160 my sister, because you know, my sister gets easily scared. But the 74 00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:25,040 one person I did mention it too was my mom that same night when she 75 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,199 came home and she saw that I was just a little bit, like, 76 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,279 very quiet, very not active as a kid would be, because I was 77 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:38,240 a very active kid. I used to love playing, playing, doing active 78 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,720 things. And she say me, oh, is everything okay? What's wrong? 79 00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:46,040 And I told her, Mom, I saw someone, What did you 80 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,360 see? Described every detail? This is what I saw at the edge of 81 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:58,920 my bed, and I remember the her face just went from being an understanding 82 00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:03,399 mom to just a person who just saw exactly what I saw, like a 83 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:09,519 ghost. Her face was just very stern, very couldn't believe. And she's 84 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,319 like, next time that happens me home. You that's why we pray every 85 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:19,279 night, That's why we get our needs and pray to God. That's next 86 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:23,920 time, just pray and every night we're gonna start praying from now on. 87 00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:29,920 I would pray a lot, but not why do you understand why would something 88 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,759 like that happen? Or why would something like this show itself to me? 89 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,959 Or not really understanding. I guess we could say the paranormal. At a 90 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,079 young age, of course, I would hear my mom talk about when she 91 00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:46,199 lived back in Mexico and her lour n Chico, the stories that she would 92 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:51,160 say of what happened to so and so neighbor and this neighbor, And yeah, 93 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:58,399 I was already adapted to to what ghost stories were. But then having 94 00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,439 happened this actually happened to me is just the shock value of it that just 95 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:09,120 takes you by surprise. And my mom is from a small little ranch and 96 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,560 they're in the middle of nowhere. The only thing that surrounds us village is 97 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,439 mountains, just tons and tons of mountains. The one thing I remember she 98 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,920 recalled telling me when she was a kid growing up that the one common thing 99 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:24,079 that she would hear things happening was at night, when they would be at 100 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:31,160 sleeping, they would hear horses, like a bunch of horses, like almost 101 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:35,519 an army of horses, running and dragging chains. Later on, she told 102 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:41,840 me that a war had happened in her village. A war had happened between 103 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:46,120 the people there and another group of individuals, and they were fighting for gold 104 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,440 that was buried there in their area. To this day, they still suspect 105 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,799 that the gold is still buried there. And she would tell me the stories, 106 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,360 of course, me being captivated and wanting to know more. I remember 107 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,080 she told me the story about when she was a little girl, that she 108 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,639 would sometimes she would go and have to go get water from all that was 109 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,000 up in her village. One time, it was super late and they needed 110 00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:13,039 water for the next day. She went up and she began to hear the 111 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,080 horses again, and them dragging chains. It seems like it was, she 112 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,399 said, she could feel like it was coming from behind her. She has 113 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,559 to walk down a hill and she's carrying these barrels, these wooden barrels of 114 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440 water with the big huge wooden stick that people would put overhead, and the 115 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,559 two barrels on each side. And I remember she said that she heard the 116 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,360 horses just running full force, and she could hear the chains. She could 117 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,919 even feel like the ground just shaking like thunder. And as I got close, 118 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:48,360 she just said that she was just so scared that she just collapsed and 119 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,840 like a kid, just got into the fetal position and just felt like the 120 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:58,440 force of whatever was running just passed by her. The funny thing is when 121 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,879 it passed, she would look up and expect all this jerk to be risen 122 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:13,639 up from whatever passes, and there'd be nothing there. She told me a 123 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,559 lot of stories, a lot of them just probably got lost as I got 124 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:30,759 older. I was nineteen and during this time, my mom and dad they 125 00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:37,720 were not we're definitely having some marital problems. My mom was very suspicious that 126 00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,240 my dad had another woman in his life. This is when the three apparitions 127 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,399 showed themselves to me. During this time, we already settled in PALMDA, 128 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:50,840 California. We owned this little snack shop and they swapped me, which at 129 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,519 the time was doing very well, but behind the scenes. People don't know 130 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,440 what's going on with the family that's running the successful business. My mom had 131 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,919 pretty much. I suspected that my dad was being was cheating because he wasn't 132 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,080 around the house much. He always was in his job down in the valley 133 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,759 and wasn't around much. So you could feel the vibe wasn't very a good 134 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:22,000 one here at home, very depressing, very lonely, very very sad ambience 135 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,320 after a hard day's work. I remember I got home and immediately just went 136 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,759 to bed. People always say that three o'clock is the hour of the witch 137 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,720 or the hour of the devil. I remember I looked at the clock and 138 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,720 it was three oh seven, and I was in the fetal position. I 139 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:45,200 had a one person bed. I remember blinking my eyes because I knew I 140 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,399 had to go to the restroom, and looking at the door, and I 141 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,519 was like, all right, I'm going to wake up and then go to 142 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:56,279 the restroom. So I'm blinking several times, and then you give a stretch, 143 00:11:56,039 --> 00:12:01,120 and I remember still being in the fetal position, but looking up towards 144 00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:07,360 my left side, towards the ceiling, and that's when slowly, but surely, 145 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,360 something just starts to appear. It's slowly appearing to me, and I'm 146 00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:18,159 blinking my eyes over and over it again. Am I seeing this right? 147 00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:24,840 Am I looking at something? What's going on? And as it slowly starts 148 00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:31,120 to make itself more in focus, I realize that it's a young boy. 149 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,759 It's a young boy who I can tell is in his teens. He looked 150 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:43,720 like about fifteen sixteen. I recall him wearing this gray this light gray shirt 151 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,480 that I depict as a baseball shirt. It has the different colored rings on 152 00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:54,960 the collar and on the colors of the ends of the shirt. And he's 153 00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:58,639 on top of me. He's laying on top of me with his hands folded, 154 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,600 like when someone's watching TV lay their head on their hands. And he's 155 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,600 laying on top of me. And he has reddish hair, curly reddish hair, 156 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,919 and his hair is pretty long. And I recall that he had beanie 157 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,600 the same color as a shirt, a light gray beanie. He's not looking 158 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,320 directly at me, He's looking at the wall behind me. And I keep 159 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,039 blinking and opening my eyes. Am I seeing this correctly? Is this for 160 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,440 real? And there is a brief moment where everything just got quiet. I 161 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:39,279 couldn't hear myself breathe anymore, and that's when he looks down at me and 162 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:48,080 then looks right back up to the wall and gives like a gentle chuckle. 163 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:54,080 And that's when he started to fade out. And at that point, I 164 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,000 was pinching myself, Am I really awake right now? This is for real? 165 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,840 I could slowly see him fade away, and at that moment, once 166 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:07,279 again, it was just the shock of it, the shock of it happening, 167 00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,840 and I recall just going back to when I was a kid, when 168 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,200 I would have these night terrors that would send me running to my parents' room 169 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,799 and pretty much crying that if I wanted to that I wanted to sleep with 170 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,000 them. But at this time, I'm nineteen. But I felt that feeling 171 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,320 once again of being a kid, like I want to run to my parents' 172 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,720 room right now, and I'm still awake. I'm pinching myself. This has 173 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:37,759 to be a dream, you know, It's not. I would fall asleep 174 00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:43,919 and then wake back up. The vibe I felt from this operation wasn't a 175 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,879 negative one. I could feel that this person was just passing through and we 176 00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:52,120 could say, wanted to make himself noticed. It was like if I knew 177 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:58,399 he wasn't there to hurt me or harm me. But about three weeks later, 178 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,360 another operation shows itself to me. This one was a little more frightening. 179 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:13,399 The apparitions all to describe do in fact begin to get darker the rest 180 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:24,440 of his story up next. This is still around the era. My mom 181 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:31,080 is still suspecting that my father is not being very loyal to her. Same 182 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,759 thing. Came back from a hard day's work from our little store, go 183 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:43,720 to bed, and this time I recall waking up at three oh six. 184 00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:48,399 During that week, I had gotten a bigger bed, a queen size bed. 185 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,279 I remember being on my left side this time. When I woke up, 186 00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:56,679 I looked at my clock. It's three oh six, and I turned 187 00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:03,159 towards my right side, blinking again to wake myself up to go to the 188 00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:06,600 restroom. As I'm blinking, I'm looking towards to what would be my TV 189 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,799 at the other side of my room. I'm blinking, and then once again 190 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:18,960 I could see something at the end of the room start to appear, slowly 191 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,679 but surely appearing, and I start to do the same thing, blinking to 192 00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:27,480 make sure that I'm fully awake and it's starting to like literally walk up towards 193 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:33,679 me, and I can tell it's a woman. And she's literally wearing this 194 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:40,039 pink dress that would look something out of nineteen twelve, like the movie Titanic. 195 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,120 She's wearing this hat that resembles the same thing, and the outpa just 196 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:49,879 looks like something from that time period. But her face was just very decrepit, 197 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,720 very like she almost looked like she just died. She came up, 198 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,559 she was like literally almost inches away from what could be my face. And 199 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:10,319 I remember just immediately I just heard myself curse and just flipped to my left 200 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:14,440 side and just throw the sheets on top of me. Just scared out of 201 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,680 my mind. And when I have the sheets on top of me, I 202 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,880 can literally feel her like on the other side of the sheets. I feel 203 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,440 this heavy energy. That just was not a good one. It was not 204 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,480 a good one. I remember I began to pray. I recall my mom 205 00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,319 telling me whenever that happened, is pray. It brought me back to when 206 00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:41,599 the first operations showed itself to me. I began to pray, and slowly 207 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,880 but surely, I feel the ambience kind of changed from a heavy mood to 208 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,039 a lighter mood, and that's when I remember, I just took the sheets 209 00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:59,960 off and just looked, and thankfully there's always nothing there. Three weeks later, 210 00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,480 is this still during the time Mom and Dad are not get in their 211 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:10,480 marriage. Come back from a hard day's work from the store, went to 212 00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:15,240 bed. Now I'm on my right side in the fetal position. Wake up. 213 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,880 Look at the clock. It's three h five. And at this point 214 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,079 I'm like, if I turn around, what's going to be waiting for me 215 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,440 there? And I remember, okay, blink, make sure you're awake, 216 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,480 make sure you're fully awake. So I turn around to my left side, 217 00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:40,279 and once again, something slowly but surely starts to appear. And this time 218 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:47,039 it's a young lady in a white shirt and like blue light blue denim jeans, 219 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,200 and her hair is like in a flat top, and her face is 220 00:18:52,319 --> 00:19:00,279 just completely just she looks like death itself. She I remember, or she 221 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,440 had no eyes. This one was different because the ambience just it didn't feel 222 00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:07,960 dark. It felt very heavy, like I could feel it in my chest. 223 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,240 And that feeling that I got was the exact same one when I would 224 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:19,799 have night terrors. And I remember the next thing she did like locked eyes 225 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:29,079 with me, and the next thing I know, it just lunged itself at 226 00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:33,599 me. And when that happened, I just turned around as fast as I 227 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,720 could to my other side, to the point where I fell off my bed. 228 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,920 I remember hitting my head against the furniture that I have next to my 229 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:48,480 bed, and yeah, thankfully I wasn't hurt. But this time it was 230 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,319 just I was like, What's going on? Why is this happening? Why 231 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,359 do I keep seeing these apparitions show up every three weeks apart? And same 232 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:00,839 thing. I went the restroom, splash some water in my face, and 233 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:17,000 I didn't sleep at all that night at all. My dad finally reveals to 234 00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:22,720 my mom that he has been cheating on her, that he's in love with 235 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:26,839 this other woman, and he says that he's gonna leave. By this time, 236 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,480 I'm twenty one. Now I have an understanding that some relationships are not 237 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:34,880 going to work out. I'm old enough to know that they're grown adults and 238 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,680 maybe they don't feel that fire that they used to feel for each other. 239 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,440 And unfortunately, those were the circumstances that happened that they needed. He wanted 240 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,799 to leave. He did leave. This is just me and my mom trying 241 00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:56,400 to manage a store just between us two. During this time, this is 242 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,680 like the worst period I could see my mom. She had no energy, 243 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:06,960 she had no motivation to keep the store going. My aunt had called her 244 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,640 during this time when because she had found out, and she told her, 245 00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:14,920 Hey, why don't you come to the Bay Area. I'm gonna get you 246 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,279 therapy. My mom did. She obliged and went and I was by myself 247 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:22,240 during this period of time when my mom decided to leave and my dad was 248 00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,720 in the house, and I was pretty much by myself. It's strange that 249 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,400 nothing happened during that time that I was alone. Nothing happened. I was 250 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,319 just managing the store by myself, trying to keep it going. A month 251 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,880 had passed and my mom comes back. She looks a little better, but 252 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,839 I recall her saying that she didn't want to come back because along the way 253 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,039 coming back home, she said she felt not right. She felt as though 254 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,200 someone was out to get her. She could feel someone like if someone didn't 255 00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:03,119 like her. I remember she got home and my dad just happened to show 256 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,599 up. My dad at this time, he's still paying the mortgage and the 257 00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:10,119 bills, that arrive, and of course I'm trying to do my part to 258 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,160 keep the store going, and any bills that he needs help with, I'm 259 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:18,440 helping him too. He comes back, and I remember my aunt leaves back 260 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,839 to the Bay Area that same night, and my mom keeps telling me, 261 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,279 I don't feel right. There's just something that's just not right. And it 262 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:30,160 has to do with your dad. There's just something out right. I don't 263 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,319 know, I just feel something wrong. I feel like I need to run 264 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,880 away or get away from your father because there's just this energy that just keeps 265 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,200 it stuck to him. I'm like, okay, Mom, just trying not 266 00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:47,119 to think about it. Just he'll be gone tomorrow and they'll just be me 267 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,680 and you and you can tell me everything that happened in a barrier. So 268 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,480 I remember that night we went to go get in and out and we came 269 00:22:56,519 --> 00:23:00,279 back and my mom kept telling me, but I feel like something is not 270 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,480 right, something's telling me to run. And every time she just tells me 271 00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:10,279 that, it just would send like shivers down my spine and like this feeling 272 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:12,880 in my gut. I remember we got home, took the food out of 273 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:19,119 the car, began to give each person their meal. I remember my dad 274 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,279 went to the restroom to wash his hands, and once again my mom states, 275 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,119 I don't feel right me home. Something is in this house and I 276 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,519 don't know what it is, but it's attached to your dad. My mom 277 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:36,039 is also very superstitious along with me. Remember my dad comes back, we 278 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,440 both we all sit down, there's just the three of us. I begin 279 00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,839 eating and it's very quiet. No one's saying anything. The TV's turned off, 280 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:52,440 there's nothing, there's no noise, no music, And as I'm chewing, 281 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:56,200 I just hear my I just look, just see my mom just stand 282 00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:02,640 up really fast and then start walking out the front. And in my mind, 283 00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:03,839 I was like, that was weird. But she said she does doesn't 284 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:07,519 feel comfortable with my dad. Maybe she just wants to go take a walk. 285 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,680 Maybe that's what she's doing, because she did state that she wants to 286 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,920 get away from my dad and feel like she wants to get like walk away, 287 00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:17,759 like all right, maybe that's what she's doing, she just wants to 288 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,599 alleviate herself from that feeling. But what kind of made it suspicious was when 289 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:30,079 I heard the cup that she was drinking her soda from all to the floor. 290 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,720 Outside and I can hear the ice just spill on the pavement. And 291 00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:38,319 I turned around and I just see her just leave. And I got up, 292 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:42,359 went out the front door and looked down the street and I could see 293 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:48,160 her turning, like just walking away. I'm like, okay, that's strange. 294 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,880 Maybe okay, maybe she does just needs to get away. I go 295 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,079 back in the house, sit down, but something just does not feel right, 296 00:24:56,599 --> 00:25:00,200 and everything just kept pointing to that cup, like why would she just 297 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:03,960 drop her cup like that and just take off. My dad at the time, 298 00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:08,200 was being very inconsidered on my mom had this like tough guy kind of 299 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,039 attitude. What's wrong with your mom? I'm like, I don't know, 300 00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:17,799 man, she just says that she just doesn't feel good. And something right 301 00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:19,200 away was telling me, go look for your mom, man, go look 302 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,599 for your mom. I grabbed the keys, got in my car and started 303 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,200 to begin just follow the trail that she went in. We live in a 304 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,920 gated community and it's like it's almost like a square, and I was just 305 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:34,799 looking in and there was no where she was, nowhere to be found, 306 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,240 nowhere to be found, cut through streets, everything, and it wasn't until 307 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,119 I made the round back around the house the corner she turned. I remember 308 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,599 I was driving and I looked back in my rearver mirror and she's literally now 309 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:55,960 behind the car. And I was like, wait, what I could have 310 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,680 sworn? I looked all over. How is it that now she's behind my 311 00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:03,000 car? All right? All right, I found her and I just put 312 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:04,640 the car to the sidewalk, right next to the sidewalk, and I get 313 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,279 off. I'm still like now, I'm still like a couple feet away. 314 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:12,319 As I got out of the car, she's walking. She's not walking towards 315 00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:18,640 me, but she's taking me these humongous shrides. I have never seen her 316 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,720 do that. My mom has always suffered from her bones, especially over the 317 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:29,880 years as a kid she worked in a farm and heavy work and taking jobs 318 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,599 that would almost give people arthritis. And she's taking these strides like she's about 319 00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:40,839 to jog, like her leg is just almost like hyper extending her arms too. 320 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,240 And that's when I gotta. I get close to her, and I 321 00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:47,440 say, Mom, I'm not get rice, Mom, what's wrong? Mom? 322 00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:52,920 I'm on, And I remember she just stops suddenly and she's looking ahead 323 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,920 of her, and I'm like, Mom, what's wrong? And then she 324 00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,480 slowly starts to turn towards me, and her eyes just got wide, like 325 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:06,039 wider than I've ever seen her open. Her eyes. Her face was like 326 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:14,759 someone who's just I can describe as someone who wants to do evil doings on 327 00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:19,559 someone, like full of hate, full of anger, to the point where 328 00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:27,319 she's grinding her teeth. And I remember the sense of just a fear and 329 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:33,279 evil was. I could feel it. I could feel it. And I 330 00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:37,200 remember at the time, I had this rosary that was given to me by 331 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,960 a girl who I was dating at the time. She had brought it back 332 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,680 from Alsavador from a church, and the first thing I did was just take 333 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:52,200 the rosary out and began what Catholics call a bad nuestro. I began praying. 334 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:57,160 And then as I prayed and prayed, my mom just seemed like it's 335 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,880 almost like she snapped out of a trance. And I told my mom, 336 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,319 are you okay, Mom? And she said, yeah, Slovia and Slavian. 337 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,880 Mom. Do you know who I am? And she's like, yeah, 338 00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:11,640 you all do all right? What am I to you? You're my 339 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,680 son? Okay? Mom? Do you know where you are right now? 340 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,039 And she says, yeah, we're in the kitchen eating. I'm like, 341 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,599 no, Mom, we're not eating. We're literally a block away from our 342 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,920 house. So I was like, you know what, Mom, get in 343 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,119 the car. Please, just get in the car. We'll drive back. 344 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:41,200 Okay, okay. But she's very like just out of it, like someone 345 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,400 who just woke up, and she can't even find her footing help her back 346 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400 in the car. And that's when I see at the corner of the street 347 00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:52,359 my dad pop out. At the time, like I said, he is 348 00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:56,000 very inconsiderate, and he tells me and I can hear him yell, hey, 349 00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:59,519 what's wrong with your mom? And I think this is the first time 350 00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:03,519 in my life that I actually cursed in my dad because I was so angry, 351 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,240 cursed at him and I said, you know what, just get back 352 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,720 in the house. Don't worry. I'm taking care of it. And I 353 00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:14,720 remember he just flung his arms like almost like when someone says whatever. I 354 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,640 drove my mom back to the house, gently got her out, walked her 355 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,519 towards the kitchen, and my dad, just not being an understanding person, 356 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,920 just said, what's wrong with you? What's going on? My dad? 357 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,839 Calm down, then, just calm down. I don't know what's wrong. 358 00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,920 We could possibly take her to the doctors and maybe she's just maybe she's having 359 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,319 a nervous breakdown. My mom, I remember she went into the kitchen and 360 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,640 was leaning against the counter of the kitchen and Mom, are you sure you're 361 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:48,960 all right? And she still seems like she's in a daze. And when 362 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,039 she said yeah, I'm fine, my dad started to get more riled up 363 00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:55,960 and started to like, hey, come on, tell us what's wrong. 364 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:59,319 What's really wrong with you? And as he starts to approach her, my 365 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:06,880 mom's is just wide and even more and she turned as if she's a little 366 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,920 child, just fearing for her life. She began to make these crying noises 367 00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:15,039 if she was crying like a little girl, and she's looking at my dad. 368 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,039 It's almost like she's seeing like a demon. She was scared, and 369 00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:23,720 I was like, Dad, get out of the house, just go drive 370 00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:29,559 somewhere, just leave. I remember with my dad leaving, that's when my 371 00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:33,000 mom just started to calm down a little bit more and just calm down from 372 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:37,799 whatever was going on. That night, I remember I gave her like some 373 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,720 sleeping pills so she could go to bed. I just did not sleep the 374 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:47,880 whole night. The next day, I told her, mom, do you 375 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,440 know what happened to you yesterday? And she's honestly, she looked one hundred 376 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,799 percent better. Do you want to know the truth. When I was around 377 00:30:52,799 --> 00:31:02,200 your dad, I could actually see something behind him. I saw shadow and 378 00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:08,160 it just engulfed his whole like what was behind him? And when I was 379 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:14,519 around him, I wanted to run as far away as I could. And 380 00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:18,480 she told me when we sat down to eat and I was eating my food, 381 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,319 I don't remember eating my food. I just remember something. I could 382 00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:27,119 clearly hear it. At the end of the block, even though the door 383 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,039 was closed. Something tells me, hey, hey, come here, come 384 00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:36,039 here, come with me, Come with me, Come on, and say 385 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:40,519 my mom's name, Come on. And somehow my mom says is she just 386 00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:45,640 obliged, got up and she was walking outside and she said it's like she 387 00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:48,960 saw somebody calling her, hey, like even waving their hand. Come on, 388 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,119 let's go this way. And she kept falling, kept following, come 389 00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:56,400 here, come with me, And I told her I could not find you 390 00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,039 until I saw you behind me. I couldn't find it an explanation how she 391 00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:04,480 got behind me. That's what happened. I heard this voice and it was 392 00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:09,039 calling me, like, do you remember? Did what kind of vibe to 393 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:12,079 give you? And she said, I didn't feel any vibe. I just 394 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,079 know that I just needed to follow it, and that's the only thing I 395 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:23,240 felt. So now, about a couple months passed by and she revealed to 396 00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:27,319 me that she actually had gone to a what they say, a medium, 397 00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:31,799 and the medium told her my mom just wanted to know what was going on 398 00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:36,680 with my dad and everything. What was why is it that their marriage just 399 00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:40,359 seemed to fall apart. My mom was always a loving woman, always attendant 400 00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:45,559 to my dad everything. I remember. She told me the story that this 401 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,240 medium told her that, Okay, your husband has had this person in hiding 402 00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:57,799 for a couple of years now. Your husband's relatives knew about it. And 403 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,119 I think when the bomb was dropped on me was that she told me that 404 00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:06,160 the medium had told her, your relatives don't have a really good liking to 405 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:14,440 you, and it appears that your husband's relatives have actually done brughetia on you 406 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:22,160 and have decided that you need to be removed out of the picture. This 407 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:27,319 has been happening for a couple of years now and I asked myself, is 408 00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:30,759 that why I saw those three apparitions? Is that why my mom got up 409 00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:35,920 and left and heard this voice When she told me that, it literally sunds 410 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,359 shivers down my spine. But then she said, right now, how do 411 00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:40,559 you sense your husband? It seems like he's I guess we could say back 412 00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:44,240 to normal and say, okay, well, here's the thing. It seems 413 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,920 the witchcraft that they try to attempt to do on you, it seems like 414 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,920 they did it wrong and now it fired back on them. Being at Latino, 415 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,920 we all know that when you mess with those kinds of things, Santa 416 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,640 Ria, Bruheria, any of that, you have to be very careful how 417 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,599 you approach it, because if you don't do anything right, he can fire 418 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,920 back on you and it could be twice as worse. And that's what happened 419 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:14,280 to my dad's relatives. The person that he was cheating with left my dad. 420 00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:19,519 My aunt didn't quite hear for her for years. I remember she ended 421 00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:23,159 up getting diabetes and all these sicknesses, and it wasn't going very well for 422 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:29,199 them. The day my mom was going to leave to the barrier when my 423 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,320 aunt called her, I remember I had this sense of I need to go 424 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,599 downstairs and talk to my mom because she's not in a good place. When 425 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:42,599 I walked down to talk to my mom, my aunt had called to tell 426 00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:44,440 her, Hey, let's go to the barrier, come down with me. 427 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:49,280 My mom later revealed to me that did you know when I heard you come 428 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,679 downstairs? That's at the same time your aunt called me. Your aunt called 429 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,840 me to say that she knew that something was going to happen to me, 430 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,519 like she sensed that something was wrong, and she was telling me that she 431 00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:08,119 was actually going to swallow pills. But yet, somehow me and my aunt 432 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:13,639 sensed this, and that's why I had gone downstairs, and why my aunt 433 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,559 had called her. Somehow we sensed it. And my aunt's all the way 434 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:22,800 down in the Bay Area, and I'm over here in palmdo here in this 435 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,719 house, and we both sensed it simultaneously. I never thought that things like 436 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,119 that would happen with my family. My mom, like I said, would 437 00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:36,519 tell me stories of these things that people would do. Always tell me me, 438 00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:39,800 He'll be careful, be careful who you interact with, Be careful that 439 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:45,000 you don't make the wrong person mad. Because I can tell you from experience 440 00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:51,480 from neighbors experiences that some people practice some things that are not holy and they 441 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,800 can harm you. So always have a good spirit. Me He'll always have 442 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,000 a good heart. Don't be little anybody, don't don't do anything wrongdoing, 443 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,920 and none of the next thing she said is something that I always carry is 444 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:08,239 that she told me that estada yaseemos zetbaga, everything in this life that we 445 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,599 do, we're going to pay for it. Things started to make a little 446 00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:21,000 more sense recently when the secret that was revealed to me through my cousin from 447 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,599 my mom's side of the family. Through the years, I've gone through some 448 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,800 some depressing moments in my life, but I like to say the most depressing 449 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:34,039 one had to be from twenty twelve to twenty and seventeen. I was in 450 00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:37,519 a very dark place. I was getting out of the relationship with the girlfriend 451 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:43,320 that had given me the rosary after four years. I was so distraught that 452 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:50,360 I pain in my room a certain color, a dark color, and I 453 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:57,679 guess that was my way to unwind everything that I was feeling. And I 454 00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:02,320 never really took any look at it or took it to account until when visitors 455 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,599 would come or family would come to visit us, and my mom would amijo, 456 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,000 make sure you have that room clean, because remember, they're going to 457 00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:14,719 stay in your room, okay. But every time when someone would from my 458 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,239 mom's side of the family would come to stay in my room, they always 459 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,880 say, no, what, it's fine, we can sleep down here. 460 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:27,320 And it was every time, and evidently a not told me who when I 461 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,400 stay in your room, I feel a lot of sadness, a lot of 462 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:36,719 depression. And it was always a constant thing throughout the years. And then 463 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:43,199 recently my cousin tells me, Primo, the reason why we never want to 464 00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:52,480 stay in your room is because have you noticed that there's faces in your walls? 465 00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:04,039 As we'll find out in the next episode, all those family is about 466 00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:07,960 to make some strange discoveries.
