Last year, we had a listener submit their request to come on the show
to tell their story, but after getting everything set up, she disappeared.
And it was during the recording of this story that we found out why my
name is Edwin and here is Ruby's true scary story. This story is about
me and my daughter. We were at our home in Clive. It's a
duplex. We lived there with a roommate of mine. He wasn't home often.
While she was sleepy, she was being woken up, and I thought
there was something wrong with her, maybe she was sick or something. She
was a feeling well. I thought something was wrong with her. She just
would keep waking up and she was just very fussy. By the fifth time
I had enough, I couldn't sleep. It was around two in the morning
when I first wrote this rough draft to try to submit it to you.
I didn't want to submit it. Like she had a nightmare where she had
told me she'd seen something, and I was like, that sounds so familiar,
So she had to have seen it that night to have such a terrible
nightmare years years later. That night there was somebody home. I was just
going to be me and her. My roommate he doesn't stay there often.
He stays at his cousin's house. Our bedroom is normally downstairs in the basement,
but this must have been a weekend where we didn't have to be up
early, so we slept in his daughter's room. From his daughter's room,
you can see into our backyard. For a long time, I didn't know
that there was train tracks there, but we would explore the backyard. We
went a little farther, we noticed that there was train tracks, and we've
never lived close to train tracks like that, so I thought it was cool.
We would always take walks back there. So that night we slept in
that room where you can see to the backyard, and that's when it started.
She's just started fussing after we try to get to sleep. It happened
maybe three or four times. On the fourth time, I was checking her
inch by inch, every little finger, her head, her toes, her
nose, everything. I was like, what's wrong. So we move out
of that bedroom to go to the living room. I was like, maybe
she needs more airflow something, maybe it's a little stuffy in there. So
we moved to the living room and that would be like the fourth time that
we're trying to get back to sleep. That's when I just turn around and
opened my eyes and there it was hovering over us. And I blinked and
it was gone, just like that. And then I realized, oh,
that's waking my baby. And it was just how you could feel it,
like a floating energy hovering us. I think it was things I've only heard
about, some type of spirits, some type of demon. But I just
I also don't know why. I've always heard that they like the demon's prey
on children or the untainted or the pure. I've always wondered. But I
got to see it that night. We had never actually slept in that bedroom,
but they had been bringing more stuff in that was making it like we're
of a little kid's room where we wanted to sleep there the drink tracks.
I also thought that maybe whatever that thing was m happened to see us while
passing by in those train tracks. Like I think those train tracks carry a
lot of energy. I who knows. I don't I've never been on a
train. Whatever goes on those trains, you hear stories about history and stuff.
Whatever it was might have sensed it since that there was a pure little
girl around, because the same night I wrote that draft. My daughter had
like a horrific nightmare, like nightmares nobody can just imagine up. She doesn't
watch scary movies. She doesn't and I don't put her in situations where she's
open to certain things like that. She had a really terrifying nightmare. She
didn't want to talk about it at first, so I didn't think about it
too much because she didn't want to talk about it. I just knew she
was very scared. She didn't talk about it until the next day. The
next day, she tells me I had a bad nightmare. There was I
asked her what it was about. There was bad men, and it showed
her all the bad and like, all the bad? What do you mean
all the bad? What she said, you get shot? I was like,
why what else did they show you? She said nothing. They showed
me that all the bad and they disappeared. And the only thing I've ever
seen appear like that and disappear was from that night. So it makes me
think that she did whatever how she meant imagine that up in her nightmare,
she had to have seen it that night too. When she had that name
were she was seven, like a year ago when I was trying to reach
out to you and first tell you this story. I do talk to my
daughters and I'm like, hey, there's something out here that is beyond us,
but we have to be braver if they can only two scare us and
that's all they're doing. But we're stronger because she knows that she had that
dream. It's terrifying somebody's showing you all the bad poof they disappear. I
feel like whatever that was strawn to just my little girl at that moment in
time. I don't really talk to my friend much now, but if I
could, I would probably ask. But before I was just when I told
him, he just was like why, he just didn't He couldn't understand.
He's liked, no, I tell people this story and they're just like they
just don't understand. They're like, that's impossible. I'm like, I thought
so too, But there's something out there that isn't just I thought I was
only scared of humans. As Ruby discovers more about her grandma, she la
Santa mode, which means holy death or Saint death, which raises questions about
what her grandmother had to do with her family's experiences, something they never questioned,
we have more on that up next. Stay with us. I come
from Hispanic family and my grandmother. She has been through a lot. She
has a sense for stuff, and I sometimes have like dreams and whatever people
don't tell me. Sometimes I could see it in my dreams. And my
daughter I had been not telling her something specific, and so I told her
that my significant other once upon a time, had been in an accident and
he was the one that was shot. So it just shook me when she
told me, they showed me all the bad you got shot, and I
was just so confused. I actually lived with my grandma before she was passing
away. She didn't tell us much stuff. But I think back to her
now and I'm just like, she's just living. Whatever secrets she held,
she just kept them to herself. I don't live like that because I want
people to know what's going on. And so I know she carried a lot
with her. I think maybe when I was wanting to tell you the story,
I had mentioned something like, I know you had that terrible nightmare,
but you can't give those things are just you can only reach you in your
nightmare. I'm here, I'm not gonna try to get in any type of
harm. I'm gonna be heroes as long as I can. Like your nightmare
is just a nightmare. You brush it off, you don't, you have
no energy towards that, it's not real. I definitely know that she had
to have seen something when she was too also like I did for her too
have a nightmare like that seven years later. So sins we're on the topic
of throwing those energies back and forth towards people or why people do them.
My mom says that she was at somebody's house and when Signorge had stopped her,
and she's like, he said, I need to tell you something.
Something's going on with you. So my mom had an aneurism. She recovered
for the most part, she's okay, she's fine. But my grandma she
got an aneurism really bad. She passed away. She, like I said,
whatever she was caring, whatever her secrets were, they were definitely just
hers. Because we were just young. We didn't care enough about certain things,
especially not that's something there or nothing like that. But she had less
something what didn Sukasa When my aunt moved in, she told her that she
needs to take that thing outside. So she did, but look at the
sim market. Whatever my grandma did, it was towards her, and it
just shot back boom and hit my grandma twice. His urse. And these
are supposed to be people that are supposed to love each other. What is
going on? When we were younger, Mike, I only went with my
grandma one time to Mexico. But tell me why before our trip her van
gets stolen? Like how does your van get stolen when we have a whole
trip planned. We eventually got it back before our trip, but it was
like ripped to shreds, likely cut the like they were looking for something,
but that whatever they were looking for wasn't in there because my grandma wasn't doing
anything wrong. Maybe they got the wrong band or whatever. But we went
with my brother and me and my cousins. My aunt has four three or
four other children that had went with us. I remember driving in the mountains
with them go on our way there, and they would close the windows and
I don't know if they were just trying to scare us or what was going
on, but it's just like remember them saying something about let's brew us and
we were in mountains. We were just kids. We just huddled up together
and covered up. I love my grandma, so I can't say that she's
bad or good. We didn't mess around with any type of energies like that,
not us kids, not as grown ups. But I remember them saying
that. And my aunt nobody really talks to her. She has a husband
and she's just them too. But I have another cousin that is her daughter
and where closest can be, and we love that that we can talk to
each other. And my mom and her mom they don't talk. So whatever
energies are carrying around, and they need to bury that hatchet before it's too
late. My cousin that I was telling you about that goes to Mexico often,
and about his wife him, we are very close. He's I have
two cousins that I'm very close to and him he's the only one that will
have like crazy conversations or just watch crazy stuff. His wife doesn't like it.
She's gonna I'm not supposed to be watching up. She just will not.
She's not. Just don't go down that hole because we it's not that
we love it, but we just so go. After our recording, Ruby
and I were talking about a ritual that she performed on herself. And in
this next section she mentions how she asked about this woman one that can do
a form of cleansing el medicekeke Asilympias, and I was like, thing to
help my environment because I was just feeling a little cloudy. And that was
just a couple of years ago, and it was just I don't know.
So the thing that you do is you send her a picture of yourself and
she'll get back to you. So we sent her the picture of me and
nothing. She just wouldn't get back to us. And I was like,
but why not, Like he's done it for himself and other people. Why
nothing? And still to this day, I don't know why she didn't get
back to us about the picture. The only thing she told me to do
is that it can back out. It will not dust on my end,
and she would do it on her end. And that consisted of a couple
of candles and at Betterful May's a bedful miss at Betful Florida, Beeful Matros
And you write your name on the candle with your birthday three times on the
candle. You roll it in your hands and you just let it be on
until it burns out, and you see how it burns if it's doing good,
and one it's done burning, how it's left, and you sender a
picture of that of the candle after it's done burning. And I kept doing
it, not consistently, like repeatedly, but once in a while I would
keep getting a candle in redoing that, and eventually the candle got clearer and
I just burned more better. But the first one was so dark, like
it would leave the smoke, the black smoke around it, and after a
few times of doing it, it would become clear like it'd burned better.
It wouldn't leave the cloud of smoke. One of my candles, which I
thought was really weird with it left ridges all over. But I'm not her.
I'm not sure what she sees, but I definitely do want to talk
to her about it again. I reach out to them and ask her why
she never responded towards my picture. I don't really give too much energy towards
this certain stuff. Me and my mom are not that close. We just
do like basic miler daughter stuff. But maybe I'll have some conversations about it.
I don't like to, Like I said, I don't like to give
certain things energy because I think that's what it wants, and I don't want
more things to happen. Have you ever seen something otherworldly? Through Instagram and
