1 00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:21,640 Since childhood, Laney had been able to see a strange visitor. The playmate 2 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,280 that she used to have and others would also see, was not from this 3 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:40,320 world. My name is Edvan and he hears Lane's true scary story. The 4 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,000 house was my grandpa's house. He bought the house, I think in nineteen 5 00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:51,880 ninety. It was a main house and my mother in law suite. In 6 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:59,280 the main house. We had four bedrooms, a master bedroom and three other 7 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:04,000 rooms were all connected by this really long hallway. Our house really long. 8 00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:07,200 Every room was just a straightaway, the kitchen, the dining room, and 9 00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:11,680 then you keep walking there's the living room and there's a super long hallway. 10 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,840 We lived there for a couple of years when I was really young, and 11 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,079 my parents bought their own house, and my mom and dad divorced in twenty 12 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,359 ten, so we ended up moving back in with my grandpa. But when 13 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,799 I was a kid, it wasn't too bad, I think, just because 14 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:32,959 I was small. I remember at one point when I was probably like two, 15 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:38,560 my grandma had this china cabinet and she had all of these pictures family 16 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,959 members I had passed away, and really old photos. My mom saw me 17 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,280 in the dining room looking at all these pictures and my mom was like, 18 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,480 what are you doing, lady? And I was like, you know, 19 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,040 pointing at them. I was able to point out three people and say their 20 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:04,159 names, pefically what my mom's aunt, and her name was Marnie. My 21 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560 mom was like, how do you know that? And I was like, 22 00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:12,800 she told me Marnie had died I think four years before I was born. 23 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:15,960 That kind of weirded my mom out because she's like, who told you? 24 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,280 And of course, being little, I was pointing at somebody and my mom 25 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,800 was like, no one, no one's there. We moved out of the 26 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,039 house. I never really heard anything else from my grandpa when I moved you 27 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:37,360 back in twenty ten. That's when it got really really bad. My room 28 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,000 and my brother's room were across the hall from each other, and then my 29 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:45,199 mom's bedroom wasn't the very end of the hall. Her door based all the 30 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:52,719 other rooms. She would see a figure walking back and forth between me and 31 00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:59,960 my brother's room. She would hear me talking in my sleep. It would 32 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:02,400 be like a conversation, and my mom woke me up. She's like, 33 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:06,800 many who are you talking to? And like, I haven't talking to anybody. 34 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,280 I was just conversating with somebody. Apparently we had been cleaning the house. 35 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,719 Flowers a vacuum right next to my bedroom door, and my mom saw 36 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:28,400 a little girl walk in my bedroom. I would be sitting in my room 37 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,319 playing with toys, you know, like Polly Pockets and that kind of stuff. 38 00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:36,960 My mom would hear me talking with somebody, and she looked into my 39 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,000 room and the toys were literally moving in front of me. I was not 40 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:49,560 touching them. I remember sitting there playing with somebody. Why I just stop 41 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:53,840 it as normal. My mom and me talked about it, and I guess 42 00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:01,360 this little girl told me her name was Alice. She became a pretty common 43 00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,879 thing in the house. She would play with toys with me in my room. 44 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,120 My mom would see her up and down the hall. Things started getting 45 00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,120 really creepy. There would be nights that I would be laying in my bed. 46 00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,720 I remember one night in particular, I was laying in my bed and 47 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,560 I had this Hello Kiddy night light. It was always on. It was 48 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,279 plugging your wall. It never burned out, it never needed the batteries changed 49 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:33,600 anything like that. And it cut off the same time that it turned off. 50 00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:42,240 I could hear what sounded like a scratching sound on my wall. I 51 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,360 went and I got my mom and my lights started working working in a little 52 00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:47,079 pan. I'm crying, hear something. My mom was like, it's probably 53 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,720 just the wind. Don't worry about it. My mom was like, to 54 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,519 go back to bed. I went back to my room. The light turned 55 00:04:56,519 --> 00:05:00,839 back on. This is super weird. Nothing never turned off, especially at 56 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:10,319 night. An hour passed and it started again. I started feeling this really 57 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:15,000 bad burning sensation on my back. I went into my mom's room and I 58 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,879 was crying, and it being a parent, my mom was like, you 59 00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:23,079 know, let just sleep in bed with me tonight. The next morning, 60 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:28,680 from where I was sleeping, I was facing the window. My mom looked 61 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:36,680 at my back and I had three really bad dashes. We didn't have cat, 62 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,839 we didn't have a pet that could have done that. That really scared 63 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:43,800 my mom and she was like, you know, lan Nes, you fall 64 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:47,040 on something. Did you fall out of bed? She was just didn't really 65 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,399 want to accept the fact that there might be something there. A couple of 66 00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:58,920 weeks later, there was an incident where the lights, all of the lights 67 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,560 in the house would just shut off. It would be out of nowhere. 68 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,120 My grandpa. He's like, oh, it's probably the power, you know, 69 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,240 there's something wrong. But it would just be so it would be random. 70 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,079 It would just everything would just shut off. Pictures would fall off the 71 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,439 walls. The bathroom was the very first door going on the hallway. One 72 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,399 night, I was in there taking a shower. I heard this really really 73 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:31,639 strong growl on the opposite side of the shower curtain. It scared me so 74 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,920 badly. I screamed for my mom. I was like, something's in here. 75 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,959 I don't know what's going to I could not bring myself to look on 76 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:42,480 the other side of that shower curtain. The lightning actroom just went off. 77 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,399 It was completely black and there. I couldn't see anything. I could hear 78 00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:51,720 my mom trying to get into the bathroom. She couldn't get in. Something 79 00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:56,319 was either holding the door closed. I don't know what was going wrong. 80 00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:00,720 She couldn't get into that room. It felt like I was just in there 81 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,680 for hours and my mom probably got the door open and she's like, what's 82 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,279 wrong, you know, And I was like I couldn't, you know, 83 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,839 I couldn't get out. And I told her about the growley. She was 84 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,680 like, Okay, well, we're we're gonna look into it and you know, 85 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:26,720 see what's going on. I didn't like to be home alone at that 86 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,720 point. My childhood friend, she would come over a lot during the summer 87 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:35,120 and stay with me. She was hanging out with me at the house. 88 00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:39,399 Min had told her about stuff that had happened, and she believed me. 89 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,480 We were walking out of my room. I had a cross necklace that someone 90 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,279 from school had given me because I was telling her about what was going on, 91 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:54,560 and she was like, I think that you should have this. It 92 00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:59,079 seems like you're really scared, so I had it on. I was walking 93 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,879 behind my friend and I remember feeling my neck worth wulfed off of my neck. 94 00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:09,519 Before I knew it, something had grabbed my hair and started pulling me 95 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:18,839 down that hallway. I started screaming. My friend was grabbing my leg and 96 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,519 was trying to pull me because I was on my back. That's how throng 97 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,439 whatever had pulled me. It was pulling me down the hallway. My friend 98 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,279 was screaming. I was screaming. At some point, either my hair had 99 00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:35,200 physically ripped out of my head or it had given up. I don't know 100 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,639 what happened, but I got loose because I was past my bedroom. There 101 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,360 was the bathroom, the laundry room, and then mine and my brother had 102 00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:50,519 told me from the beginning of the hallway that enters into the living room all 103 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,600 the way back to almost my bedroom door. Me and my friend ran out 104 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,720 of the house. I called my mom and I was crying. She came 105 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:05,279 home and she was like, we're gonna call your dad's friend knows someone that 106 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:15,840 does paranormal investigations. We're gonna get them more. Call the paranormal investigators arrived 107 00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:20,480 to the house.

It's 115 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,279 a game changer. In home security. A couple of weeks ago, I 116 00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,440 got a call from my parents who are taking care of Jack's, my dog, 117 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,200 say that he was in hiding mode, you know when something's wrong. 118 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,720 They zoned did in on the problem and it seemed like he had been kicked 119 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,159 in the abdomen and we had no idea who had done it. We suspect 120 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,960 that someone went in through the gate and that's when Jacks came out and that 121 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,720 happened, and that's when we search for a home security system.

He came out and brought 131 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,440 his two guys that worked with him, and then they brought all their equipment 132 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,759 eat stuff out. As he was walking through the house, he walked into 133 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:15,559 my room and what we think was the little girl that I played with when 134 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:22,559 I was smaller literally just poke her head out into the camera, just right 135 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,360 there, clear as day. They were like, when are you seeing this? 136 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,799 So you're seeing this? I looked and I was like, that's how 137 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:39,399 to be Alice. So that's what I knew her as As they continued down 138 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,840 the hallway, the guy recording things, he was like, I'm not feeling 139 00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:48,120 too good. You're starting to feel kind of sick. My mom had a 140 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,080 master bedroom closet that was attached to the room. When he walked in there, 141 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:58,120 it was weird because I was looking at from the camera's point, there 142 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:09,559 was something dark in that closet. Whatever he saw, he ran out of 143 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:18,519 the house. He was terrified. He was like, y'all need to call 144 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,639 somebody else. I'm sorry that moment they left like they were like, we 145 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,120 wish we could be more help. They were terrified of what could have been 146 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:33,600 going on. We didn't know what to do. Three days after that had 147 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:39,360 happened, we all went out to dinner for I think it was my brother's 148 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:46,720 birthday. We had a really long driveway. There's the driveway and then there 149 00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:50,080 was the house, and then there was wood behind. On the way back 150 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,519 home, we had left the lights on in the house because we knew we 151 00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,600 were going to be coming home to a dark house. As we're coming down 152 00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:07,879 on this driveway, every single light shut off, every single one, and 153 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:16,320 the whole property was pitch black. You couldn't see anything. Maybe a minute 154 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:22,240 later they flipped back on and my bedroom was facing the street so you could 155 00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:33,360 see it my window. There was a black figure in my window. It 156 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:41,120 was probably over six feet tall. My mom was like, we're done, 157 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,759 Like this cannot keep on. We stayed in a hotel that night, we 158 00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:54,399 were that terrified to go home. After that, my mom actually met someone 159 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,159 and I ended up getting remarried. We moved out of the house, and 160 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,440 I never really stopped thinking about the house. And I was talking to my 161 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:03,159 mom and I was like, you know, I wonder what that could have 162 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,720 been because it got foreclosed, So I'm like, I wonder what a fit 163 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,080 something happened where no one else wanted to live there. I started looking into 164 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:22,039 the house. That property was a plantation and the property owner was apparently not 165 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,759 a very nice guy, but he had a daughter that had died really young, 166 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:37,759 at eight years old, and her name was Alice. The more creepier 167 00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:48,559 part about all of it, apparently they're all buried on the property their personal 168 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:56,519 family cemetery in the woods behind the house that I didn't even know about. 169 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:03,960 So we don't know if that was him or a fit with somebody else, 170 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:09,759 but from what I know of to this day, they're still buried back there. 171 00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:16,480 That still really creeps me out. So now there were just dead bodies 172 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:26,759 in our backyard. We had no idea looking more into detail. When plantation 173 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:33,639 workers passed away, they were also buried on the property, but buried away 174 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,559 from the family. They were buried on the side of the house. They 175 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600 were just buried there. I don't know what became of the house, but 176 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,320 that burning sensation immediately, it just made me think that it was something demonic 177 00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,480 because it would happen more than once. I just remember that being a really 178 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,679 prominent time, but I would my mom would find scratches on me constantly, 179 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,120 so we're just kind of curious, you know, to this day, like 180 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:23,440 what it was.
