1 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,600 David used to live in an old apartment complex where he had been hearing strange 2 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:30,160 sounds one night and it's got physical. My name is Edward, and here 3 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:49,000 is David. True scary story. Oh my story starts in nineteen ninety one. 4 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:56,679 This is in Santa Anna, California. We had just moved to the 5 00:00:56,799 --> 00:01:00,320 apartment that I grew up in, So I was about like five or six. 6 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,760 The two story apartment it was. We're like the only Hispanic family in 7 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,799 this white, all white neighborhood. It was built like in the fifties. 8 00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:11,599 I think it was built for like a marine base that was right up the 9 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:19,239 road in Irvine and think it was El Toro Airfield. Those apartment complexes, 10 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:22,760 they looked like townhomes were building the fifties, so they're old, really retro, 11 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:30,680 but they're really nice back at that time. So when I started hearing 12 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,000 noises, I think I was around like six or seven. That's when the 13 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:40,959 first incident happened. I would just hear random noises. We stepped on the 14 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,840 second floor, so we had stairs in our buildings, and so what I 15 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,560 would start hearing at first was just feel like if somebody was like walking up 16 00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:52,200 the stairs. It would creak on someone walking up the wooden stairs. It 17 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,599 has the old wooden stairs and creeks, and so that's what I would hear. 18 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,599 So i'd wake up and i'd hear that when I was young at that 19 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,560 time, so I would just knotted off and I would acknowledge the noise, 20 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,920 but I wouldn't really think of it too much. I just go back to 21 00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:15,159 sleep. And that's when the noises first started happening. The little this is 22 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,879 the dance is a little more intense. I was about nine, I'd be 23 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,719 about nine years old. It was probably one in the morning when I woke 24 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,840 up. And at that time we didn't have a c so we would open 25 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,000 up the windows to let in the cool air at night and that good stuff. 26 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,039 And like I said, our partment was two stories, so I would 27 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,319 open up the window. I wouldn't have that fear of someone was going to 28 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,360 come into the building. But behind our apartment complex there was an alley, 29 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,080 and it was at that time the lights weren't that great. They're the old 30 00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:53,240 yellow street looking lights. And there was a wall there and behind that wall 31 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,599 there was a gas station and a liquor store. You tend to hear, 32 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,520 you know, people talking at times, and people rolling up that random times, 33 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960 bumping the music, getting gassed. So you hear that stuff. And 34 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,599 so I woke up, and naturally, when I hear something, I go 35 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,639 to the window and I take a peek. I moved the blinds, I 36 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,000 think the peak outside. I don't see anything. Right at first, I 37 00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:23,840 don't see anything, just say whatever, I go back to you and I 38 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,800 lay down. Maybe about five minutes six minutes later, I hear another sound, 39 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:31,840 and so I go and I go look. And at this time, 40 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,240 like at the very like where the light starts to like end in the blackness 41 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:46,120 of the alley, starts like a black like a it's like a shadow and 42 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:51,879 it's just like walking. And at first I was like, man, am 43 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:55,319 I tripping? Or is that? Is that a shadow walking? Because it 44 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,120 didn't. It wasn't like a person. It's literally a shadow. And so 45 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:04,479 freaked out, I just said, okay, whatever, I let that, 46 00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:09,159 I let a just process in my mind. I went and laid back down 47 00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:16,879 and I left it at that. Maybe like a few months later, another 48 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,360 incident happened, same thing. I woke up at one am, but this 49 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,519 time I woke up to the sound of people talking and I'm talking about it 50 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,959 sounded like they were right by my window. Mind you, my bedroom's literally 51 00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:32,160 on the second floor, so for it to sound like they're talking right by 52 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,759 my window was very weird. So I woke up because it sounds like two 53 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,920 people talking. So I walk over to the window again. I moved the 54 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,560 current. I take a peek. Nothing, there's nothing back there. There's 55 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,920 like a lute little parking area that was behind the apartment as well with a 56 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,639 light adult school light. I looked in that area, scanned it. Nothing, 57 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,480 looked at the wall, looked at the gas stationary nothing. So I'm 58 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,600 just like, okay, maybe I just heard it in my sleep. I 59 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,600 laid back down. When I I did that, I heard the people talking 60 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:04,600 again, but this time it sounded like it was in the front of my 61 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,959 apartment. You're gonna asked, how does it the stink where it's coming from. 62 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,839 I'm like, it's because when I heard it, it was very vague 63 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,600 and it was coming through my bedroom door and saw I was like, what 64 00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:20,839 the heck? And so I opened my bedroom door. I walked down the 65 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:25,639 stairs. I go on, I look out of the room window. Nothing, 66 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:30,720 dark courtyard, there's no one out there. I'm just like, okay, 67 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,879 I may just be tripping. So I go back upstairs, go back 68 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:40,600 and lay down, and I lay down maybe probably another fifteen minutes, and 69 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,680 I'm looking at the city and I'm just laying there, look at the thing 70 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,519 and trying to process everything, try to make it make sense. So I 71 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,160 end up, honestly, maybe for like about an hour. I was looking 72 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,480 up again to the sound, this time to a baby crying. Now I 73 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,519 knew everybody that lived around that area for nine years old. My best friend 74 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:02,040 lived next to me. I knew the kids. And then there's no baby. 75 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,279 So I hear a baby crying, I'm like, okay, maybe it's 76 00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:09,040 coming from the gas station. Of course, I get up again. I 77 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,759 take a peek. There's no one at the gas station. There's no one 78 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,120 at the Caligor store. There's just the normal cars that are there. Everybody 79 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,160 seems to be asleep. It's like probably by what two two thirty in the 80 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:27,680 morning at this time, So I freak out before I lay back down. 81 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,519 When I'm scanning in the area, I looked over for some reason at the 82 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,000 lighthole by the little parking area, and I saw a shadow standing there. 83 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,720 It was a shadow, because the light is right there, and if there 84 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:44,639 was someone there, it would have shined on you. It would basically let 85 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,959 you see somebody, this is a damn shadow looking at me. I froze. 86 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,480 I didn't know what to do, and for maybe five seconds and then 87 00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,879 I just like unfrozen. I just jumped back, and I didn't know what 88 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:01,680 to think of it. So I laid back in my bed and I just 89 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,360 said, forget it. I'm not gonna mess with this. I'm just gonna 90 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:12,040 go to sleep. That's when I was nine. Then, you know, 91 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,439 between nine in my teenage years, I would still randomly hear little chunger like 92 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,199 people walking up and downstairs, or even the pots and pan moving downstairs, 93 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,319 which I would go downstairs and look at that, or listen for that sound 94 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:30,839 and go into my kitchen and nothing, everything's in its place, nothing's been 95 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,480 tossed or anything, but that's what it sounded like. And I would tell 96 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:39,959 my mom. I grew up in a very Mexican religious household, so they're 97 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:43,040 my mom and my dad very religious, went to church at six am every 98 00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,800 Sunday. So I would tell her these things. And I don't know if 99 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,120 she for my protection or maybe just to keep me from being scared. She 100 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,040 would just tell me, oh, it's nothing, You're just dreaming. But 101 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,519 I would see it in her eyes that she would believe it, and to 102 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,160 be honest, as when I did get older, I'd find out that she 103 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,360 would hear stuff too. She just of course would not admit it to us, 104 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,879 And it was just one of those things where she was just trying to 105 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:13,399 protect us. And I'm the only boy out of the four children. She 106 00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:15,759 actually had three girls, so she didn't want to freak them all out. 107 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,800 So when you have freaked out women in the house, it's never nice. 108 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,199 Basically, after that, we fast forward to when I was about fifteen years 109 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:28,160 old. It was probably around Thanksgiving and we had family over. Of course, 110 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,360 it was probably about eight thirty, and I had went upstairs to go 111 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,879 lay down for a bit because I had basically eaten a big meal to Thanksgiving. 112 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,039 Of course, I'm a big dude, so I like to eat. 113 00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:41,879 So I went upstairs and I laid down on my bed. Pretty much, 114 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:46,120 I got my stomach like face first, and so as I'm laying there, 115 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:52,600 I feel like these two I feel like two big hands pushed me into my 116 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,360 bed. And when someone pushes you. You feel like that imprints of their 117 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,480 hands. So when I fell, I literally went into the bed and I 118 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:05,720 bounced up and I stood there for a second looking around, Okay, what 119 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360 the hell? And the light was off in my room. The only light 120 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,799 was on was in the hallway, and so it's not too bright up a 121 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,279 light, so it's damn and it just in the middle of the hallway on 122 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,279 top of the stairs. So I looked around, looked up dead and seeing 123 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:20,639 nothing, I ran downstairs. I said, I don't know what the hell 124 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,559 that was. I ran downstairs. My cousins are downstairs. Everybody's downstairs. 125 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,919 I still on the couch and I'm looking up towards the stairs. I'm freaked 126 00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:33,120 out and I'm trying to process of what just happened. My cousin looks at 127 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,399 me and he's like, hey, man, are you cool? And I'm 128 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,320 like I didn't answer. At first, I'm like yeah, I'm like. 129 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,919 I asked him, I, hey, did anyone go upstairs by any chance, 130 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,639 like my uncles or my dad or anybody? And he no, I 131 00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:50,720 went upstairs. So I'm like, humm. So he asked me again, 132 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,120 are you okay? And I'm like, bro, let me, I'm gonna 133 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 tell you something, but I don't know if I'm tripping. I don't know 134 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,519 what. But I told him and like when he said that, when I 135 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,919 watched it, when I told the story, he was looking at me like 136 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,679 white eyed. And when he was looking at me, why died. I 137 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,159 was like, why are you looking at me white eye? He's like, 138 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:15,759 man, I'm not tripping. I thought I was tripping. But when I 139 00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,639 was in your backyard and I looked up towards your bedroom, it looked like 140 00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:22,480 somebody was looking out the window, and so I thought that was you. 141 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,720 But you just said you were laying down. So at that moment, I 142 00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:33,919 freaked out. I didn't know what to think. I told my mom, 143 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,519 I told my sisters, I'm like, I'm done with at this point. 144 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,200 I mean, I've been touched. I didn't know how to feel about all 145 00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:46,000 that. So I told him and it was the biggest thing. And my 146 00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:50,320 mom's crying and she's praying, and she's who knows what it is? Yeah, 147 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,320 that was one of one of the biggest moments in that house, in 148 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,879 that apartment. I actually joined the military basically after that, probably six seven 149 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,440 years later. I was about twenty twenty one, joining the Linditary. I 150 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,639 left for seven years. When I got out in twenty thirteen, I came 151 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:15,480 back home. I lived in that apartment for a bit until I moved out, 152 00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:20,559 and then I moved back in twenty fifteen with my parents. During that 153 00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:26,879 time, I was really into the paranormal stuff. I'm older, obviously, 154 00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:30,159 I've had these things happen to me here in the United States as well. 155 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,799 In the mesic I saw. I have a fascination with it. I believe 156 00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,600 in ghosts, I believe in demons, I believe in all that craziness. 157 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,159 So at that time I was watching I can't really remember his name on YouTube. 158 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,279 I want to, but I can't remember. He would have this ghost 159 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,799 box thing and he would talk to the debt did like a voice thing, 160 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:56,840 and you would hear him come through the voice box thing and he would talk 161 00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:00,759 to the spirit whatever. I think it was, like spirit or something like 162 00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:05,120 that. So I would watch a lot of those videos. And so when 163 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,240 I came back out the living with my parents, I downloaded an app that 164 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,679 this guy actually creates that that was like a like an app version of that 165 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:18,159 spirit box that he had, but it ran through your phone. Me being 166 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,519 curious, George, I downloaded the app, I started it up, and 167 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,639 right when I started it up, like the first thing that you hear through 168 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,919 the little white noise and he goes like I heard hello, like in a 169 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,600 weird like voices hello, And I'm just like, okay, I didn't ask 170 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,600 anything yet, so I was like, maybe this is just maybe this thing 171 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,600 is a joke. So then the next thing I hear, I think, 172 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:48,960 I hear like windows, little girl looking right, and I'm just like what, 173 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,600 so me being curious, I'm like, who's looking? And when I 174 00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:03,200 asked that question, like for maybe like twenty seconds, just I hear Mary, 175 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:09,519 mind you. My grandma's name is Maria. She passed away maybe like 176 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,039 at that time, probably seven years at that time. And so when I 177 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,519 heard that, I just translated like, oh my god, is I'm like 178 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,519 my grandma the girl looking him like she here right now, freaked out, 179 00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:24,440 turned off the app. I deleted. I was like, okay, never 180 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,480 mind, I don't want to do this anymore. But I did end up 181 00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,559 doing something else. Basically, the last year I was living there was about 182 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,480 twenty nineteen. I downloaded an app that I record you while you're sleeping. 183 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,960 I did this because I have sleep apnea and I just wanted to see record, 184 00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:45,000 like my snoring, what I do while I'm sleeping, and so I 185 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,879 download this app that records that and catches you when you're far you have her 186 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,399 cough, snore loud, any noise that is made, it catches me. 187 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,360 So I remember the Friday night and I had I was on the phone talking 188 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,440 to my which is my girl, and have a time shoo my fiance now 189 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,240 say my good night, love you bay whatever. So I remember doing that. 190 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,000 I started up the app and I put it right next to my bed. 191 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,679 I can record you right next to me, and so I let it 192 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,720 go all night. So around about six in the morning, I wake up. 193 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,919 I checked my phone to see whatever I caught, and I go through 194 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,840 it. In the beginning, all you catches like the normal I cough here 195 00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:28,759 about three farts. I think I catched the AC because I had a c 196 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,360 at this time. It would turn on and turn off on the window. 197 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:37,399 And then as I'm listening, I'm just just like, okay, that's cool. 198 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,159 Now the last thing that it caught, that's the one that got me. 199 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,919 It starts off you hear like the AC turn on, So it goes 200 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:54,240 like boo, that's a really calming sound. And then it sounds like my 201 00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:01,360 door opens and then it closes. And when you open like these doors are 202 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,320 older, old wooden doors, and when you open them, it rubs mix 203 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:11,679 a noise, and so I hear two or three times and then the AC 204 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:18,039 turns off and then like I'm just listening. I'm just listening, and I 205 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:24,039 don't know where. You just hear like very faint, but you hear it. 206 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:31,399 And when I heard that, my man I deleted the app. I 207 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,519 said, Okay, this time, I'm really done with this. I don't 208 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:46,759 want to record anymore. Up next other experiences that his family went through the 209 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:54,159 shadow, I honestly, I don't. I can't explain that because it is 210 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,759 an alley, but really people don't walk in that alley, especially in that 211 00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:03,120 neighborhood back as times. But the second time it didn't make any sense because 212 00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,440 the light was like if you stand right next to that pole where the parking 213 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,480 lots at and the lights on top, it's shining down. So even if 214 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,000 you're standing right under that pole, the light would still hit you. And 215 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:21,200 so when this light is hitting the shadow, and there's like there's nothing lighting 216 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:23,879 up. It's literally a shadow. So it's like I knew at them. 217 00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,679 I was like, that's when I freaked out. I was like, man, 218 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:30,080 this isn't a person. I just yeah, I can't make sense of 219 00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:36,360 it, but I know for certain that if you were standing under there, 220 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,759 and if you were a person, you and someone saw you, they would 221 00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:42,320 be able to tell that you're a person. It was like, literally, 222 00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:47,120 it's just a shadow. If it was like Peter's pen shadow just standing there, 223 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,320 I mean, like my mom And then at first, like she would 224 00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:56,360 like I said, she freaked out because she's obviously heard the noises as well 225 00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:00,080 and experienced it because herself as well. She would get up at every thirty 226 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:06,000 every morning and go to work around those times, the wicked hours. She 227 00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:08,559 would always hear, she said, she would always hear like scratching. She 228 00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:11,960 would hear people walking up and down the stairs. There's like a bathroom that's 229 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,039 per se like under the staircase, and she would always it always, she 230 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,519 said, it always sounded like if me or my sister were like going up 231 00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,559 and down the stairs, but like she would walk over there and you'll be 232 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:27,160 nobody. So when she heard me at that moment, Thanksgiving time, she 233 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,519 freaked out, and like my aunts were there and all them, so they 234 00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:33,559 were like at first, they were like trying to make sense of what was 235 00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:37,599 going on. And then as I told them, my cousin told them, 236 00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:44,000 they all freaked out because they felt like someone had sent something bad to our 237 00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:47,880 family. But I guess it was attacking me, I guess, you can 238 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,440 say. And like they started praying. It was all going down in in 239 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,359 the kitchen and they started praying, and like my dad at first, so 240 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,839 you didn't want to believe it, but my mom told him and then like 241 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,160 my sisters, I guess the same thing I've actually heard, but they never 242 00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:10,880 really experienced it like I did. So just when like all that broke out 243 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,599 in the kitchen, it's more like my aunts and my mom that were like 244 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,400 crying and praying, and that my uncles were just like talking about. I 245 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,279 don't know what, to be honest, I don't even know what they were 246 00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:22,680 really saying, but like my aunts were like praying for me and my cousin, 247 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,240 and I know after that it happened, I had to go to church, 248 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:33,400 and yeah, it looked crazy. She would look up at three thirty 249 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,160 and she would leave by four fifteen. There was a time she said she 250 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,839 was getting ready in the bathroom, doing her hair and her makeup downstairs. 251 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,079 We had two bathrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs, and that she was 252 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,039 getting ready. And at this time, I want to say, I was 253 00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:53,839 probably like eleven or twelve. My neighbor next door, her name was Laura. 254 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,640 She had roosen and passed away, and I guess one of my mom 255 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,319 said she was getting ready. The lights started flickering right in the bathroom, 256 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,799 and that she was like, okay, Laurie, Like she she thought it 257 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,079 was her friend, Laura was her neighbor. Just so she said, okay, 258 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,960 Laurie, I get that you're here. And at the flickering. Just 259 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,880 another time she said that she was she was the same thing getting ready, 260 00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:26,200 and that she heard like a little knock on the door, the front apartment 261 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,240 door. She would hear like little knocks, and that she would walk over 262 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:33,400 there and look out and open the door and look out and nothing. That 263 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,839 she would go back and start getting ready. She would hear knocks in the 264 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,680 back glass door. Yeah, she wouldn't. She would actually experience quite quite 265 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:45,839 a lot too. I can definitely say it's not a demon, because I 266 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:51,519 feel like I've listened to enough stories even like personally listen to stories about demons 267 00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:55,759 and messing with people, and like the incidents that happened with me didn't really 268 00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:59,799 seem like a demon. I guess you could say, at least for me, 269 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,519 I didn't look up on no scratches or anything like that, or try 270 00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:06,319 to possess or anything like that. I feel like it was just a lost 271 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,400 soul, a lost soul that for some reason was in my area, and 272 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,920 I just so happened to catch the attention of it. Maybe I don't know. 273 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,279 I feel like it wasn't necessarily out to hurt me. I feel like 274 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,720 more it was there to just maybe just letting me know that something's there, 275 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,599 maybe someone's there. But it wasn't I would say evil. It was just 276 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:41,160 I guess, how can I say surprising, Because everything that happened was it 277 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,160 surprised me. It wasn't like I was expecting it to happen, But as 278 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,279 I did get older, I would I guess I would expect the expect the 279 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:53,559 noises, but I've never expected for it to actually touch me. Because I 280 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:57,640 feel like that shadow was what touched me. I don't feel like it was 281 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:03,240 just some random ghost or spirit or entity that just said, there's a fat 282 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,480 guy lane on, like I'm going to push them. I feel like what 283 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,359 touched me in that shadow, I feel like they're connected. I wish I 284 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,799 knew who or what or where it was, or I really wish i'd know 285 00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:23,880 who it was, to be honest, but I couldn't tell you. My 286 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,559 mom was part of like this really like church thing where they would bring these 287 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:33,119 statues to your house and like you would host them for a week. And 288 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,720 it was a statue of the Virgin Mary, and it was a statue of 289 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:44,119 the Baby Jesus. And supposedly, like the owners of these statues, like 290 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,440 the guy, he can somehow see through the Virgin Mary statue and you it 291 00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:55,240 sounds funny. When I heard that too, I was like, what but 292 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,799 and this is and I can the only reason I can confirm that maybe he's 293 00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:04,119 not or maybe this is true is because the Virgin Mary statue had brown eyes. 294 00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:11,000 Right now, at times, these eyes would turn from brown to blue, 295 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:15,000 and I don't know how, I don't know why, but I felt 296 00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:22,960 like maybe that's when supposedly he was looking through the statue, but I would 297 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,599 see the eyes go from blue to brown, and I did recognize them. 298 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:33,319 I'm a type of guy that will recognize like little things at times. And 299 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,319 with that also being said, I remember things in the living room would be 300 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,839 moved if we left, like a ball on one side of the living room 301 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,680 when we woke up and be on the other side of the living room. 302 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,240 And so then my mom would tell us, all, that's the baby Jesus 303 00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:52,400 playing with it, playing with the ball or whatnot. And I'd be like, 304 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,599 yeah, I don't know if it's Baby Jesus, but something was definitely 305 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:00,240 playing with the ball. But yeah, other than that, yeah, I 306 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:07,880 mean I've had those statues, had that incident with those statues. We all 307 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,720 noticed it. My mom noticed it, everybody noticed it. My dad and 308 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:15,799 we would all trip out. And I remember touching it just like maybe these 309 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:18,039 are cameras. There's like now freaking out, but no, it was literally 310 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,400 the ceramic. Like I was like, man, this is weird, Like 311 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,519 it changed colors, and it was weird because like you touch the eyes, 312 00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:29,559 it was pain so for it to change, like You're like, what how 313 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:32,359 does that change? You know what I mean? Is it heat activated? 314 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,839 Is it cold? I'm thinking of all this stuff, and it's just I 315 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:42,680 don't know. All I know is it changed. I got like stories of 316 00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:48,039 stuff happened in the woods, especially when I lived on the porch Stewart I'm 317 00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:52,759 talking about. You're talking about parts of the woods that hosted little towns back 318 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:57,599 in like the seventeen eighteen hundreds. Or there's like random cemeteries all over these 319 00:23:57,599 --> 00:24:02,799 woods. There's just random series. And we've experienced a lot, as me, 320 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,920 especially being out there when we train in the woods at night and we 321 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,400 stay overnight. I've experienced a lot out there. But yeah, I have 322 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,920 stories in Georgia. I have stories in Iraq. There's a couple of stories 323 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,079 in Iraq that happened to me and my boys, especially on the Euphrates rivers, 324 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,839 when I swear I saw which I think is a shape shifter or a 325 00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:23,279 gin. I think it was a gin, and I have five people to 326 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,279 verify that I was finding on my shoulder, buddies. And yeah, that 327 00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:41,599 story was actually pretty pretty intense.
