1
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,240
Last year, we had a listener
submit their request to come on the show

2
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:20,079
to tell their story, but after
getting everything set up, she disappeared.

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:28,199
And it was during the recording of
this story that we found out why my

4
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:43,320
name is Edwin and here is Ruby's
true scary story. This story is about

5
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:51,200
me and my daughter. We were
at our home in Clive. It's a

6
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,240
duplex. We lived there with a
roommate of mine. He wasn't home often.

7
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:03,079
While she was sleepy, she was
being woken up, and I thought

8
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:07,159
there was something wrong with her,
maybe she was sick or something. She

9
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:11,840
was a feeling well. I thought
something was wrong with her. She just

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,760
would keep waking up and she was
just very fussy. By the fifth time

11
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,239
I had enough, I couldn't sleep. It was around two in the morning

12
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:32,560
when I first wrote this rough draft
to try to submit it to you.

13
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,280
I didn't want to submit it.
Like she had a nightmare where she had

14
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,599
told me she'd seen something, and
I was like, that sounds so familiar,

15
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,400
So she had to have seen it
that night to have such a terrible

16
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:59,120
nightmare years years later. That night
there was somebody home. I was just

17
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:02,159
going to be me and her.
My roommate he doesn't stay there often.

18
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:09,000
He stays at his cousin's house.
Our bedroom is normally downstairs in the basement,

19
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,199
but this must have been a weekend
where we didn't have to be up

20
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,439
early, so we slept in his
daughter's room. From his daughter's room,

21
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,919
you can see into our backyard.
For a long time, I didn't know

22
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,439
that there was train tracks there,
but we would explore the backyard. We

23
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,960
went a little farther, we noticed
that there was train tracks, and we've

24
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,360
never lived close to train tracks like
that, so I thought it was cool.

25
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,240
We would always take walks back there. So that night we slept in

26
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,199
that room where you can see to
the backyard, and that's when it started.

27
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:53,240
She's just started fussing after we try
to get to sleep. It happened

28
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,240
maybe three or four times. On
the fourth time, I was checking her

29
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:04,800
inch by inch, every little finger, her head, her toes, her

30
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,319
nose, everything. I was like, what's wrong. So we move out

31
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,919
of that bedroom to go to the
living room. I was like, maybe

32
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,319
she needs more airflow something, maybe
it's a little stuffy in there. So

33
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,280
we moved to the living room and
that would be like the fourth time that

34
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:32,960
we're trying to get back to sleep. That's when I just turn around and

35
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:46,240
opened my eyes and there it was
hovering over us. And I blinked and

36
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,680
it was gone, just like that. And then I realized, oh,

37
00:03:53,719 --> 00:04:03,080
that's waking my baby. And it
was just how you could feel it,

38
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:11,240
like a floating energy hovering us.
I think it was things I've only heard

39
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:21,800
about, some type of spirits,
some type of demon. But I just

40
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,600
I also don't know why. I've
always heard that they like the demon's prey

41
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,519
on children or the untainted or the
pure. I've always wondered. But I

42
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:41,480
got to see it that night.
We had never actually slept in that bedroom,

43
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:46,120
but they had been bringing more stuff
in that was making it like we're

44
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,040
of a little kid's room where we
wanted to sleep there the drink tracks.

45
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:01,480
I also thought that maybe whatever that
thing was m happened to see us while

46
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:05,360
passing by in those train tracks.
Like I think those train tracks carry a

47
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,839
lot of energy. I who knows. I don't I've never been on a

48
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:16,079
train. Whatever goes on those trains, you hear stories about history and stuff.

49
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:24,600
Whatever it was might have sensed it
since that there was a pure little

50
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,600
girl around, because the same night
I wrote that draft. My daughter had

51
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:41,639
like a horrific nightmare, like nightmares
nobody can just imagine up. She doesn't

52
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,040
watch scary movies. She doesn't and
I don't put her in situations where she's

53
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:54,480
open to certain things like that.
She had a really terrifying nightmare. She

54
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,759
didn't want to talk about it at
first, so I didn't think about it

55
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,199
too much because she didn't want to
talk about it. I just knew she

56
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:09,079
was very scared. She didn't talk
about it until the next day. The

57
00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:18,920
next day, she tells me I
had a bad nightmare. There was I

58
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:26,480
asked her what it was about.
There was bad men, and it showed

59
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:30,839
her all the bad and like,
all the bad? What do you mean

60
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:35,519
all the bad? What she said, you get shot? I was like,

61
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,519
why what else did they show you? She said nothing. They showed

62
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:48,920
me that all the bad and they
disappeared. And the only thing I've ever

63
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:56,560
seen appear like that and disappear was
from that night. So it makes me

64
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,439
think that she did whatever how she
meant imagine that up in her nightmare,

65
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:08,360
she had to have seen it that
night too. When she had that name

66
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:12,120
were she was seven, like a
year ago when I was trying to reach

67
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,720
out to you and first tell you
this story. I do talk to my

68
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,199
daughters and I'm like, hey,
there's something out here that is beyond us,

69
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:30,480
but we have to be braver if
they can only two scare us and

70
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:39,240
that's all they're doing. But we're
stronger because she knows that she had that

71
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:58,560
dream. It's terrifying somebody's showing you
all the bad poof they disappear. I

72
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,720
feel like whatever that was strawn to
just my little girl at that moment in

73
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:15,040
time. I don't really talk to
my friend much now, but if I

74
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:20,720
could, I would probably ask.
But before I was just when I told

75
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480
him, he just was like why, he just didn't He couldn't understand.

76
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:33,440
He's liked, no, I tell
people this story and they're just like they

77
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,000
just don't understand. They're like,
that's impossible. I'm like, I thought

78
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:48,120
so too, But there's something out
there that isn't just I thought I was

79
00:08:48,120 --> 00:09:00,600
only scared of humans. As Ruby
discovers more about her grandma, she la

80
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:05,919
Santa mode, which means holy death
or Saint death, which raises questions about

81
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,240
what her grandmother had to do with
her family's experiences, something they never questioned,

82
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:26,240
we have more on that up next. Stay with us. I come

83
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:33,039
from Hispanic family and my grandmother.
She has been through a lot. She

84
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:41,559
has a sense for stuff, and
I sometimes have like dreams and whatever people

85
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:50,840
don't tell me. Sometimes I could
see it in my dreams. And my

86
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,240
daughter I had been not telling her
something specific, and so I told her

87
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,759
that my significant other once upon a
time, had been in an accident and

88
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:09,960
he was the one that was shot. So it just shook me when she

89
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:20,000
told me, they showed me all
the bad you got shot, and I

90
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:26,159
was just so confused. I actually
lived with my grandma before she was passing

91
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:33,759
away. She didn't tell us much
stuff. But I think back to her

92
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:41,720
now and I'm just like, she's
just living. Whatever secrets she held,

93
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,000
she just kept them to herself.
I don't live like that because I want

94
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:54,440
people to know what's going on.
And so I know she carried a lot

95
00:10:54,919 --> 00:11:01,559
with her. I think maybe when
I was wanting to tell you the story,

96
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,600
I had mentioned something like, I
know you had that terrible nightmare,

97
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:11,559
but you can't give those things are
just you can only reach you in your

98
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:16,720
nightmare. I'm here, I'm not
gonna try to get in any type of

99
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:22,240
harm. I'm gonna be heroes as
long as I can. Like your nightmare

100
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,759
is just a nightmare. You brush
it off, you don't, you have

101
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:33,480
no energy towards that, it's not
real. I definitely know that she had

102
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,559
to have seen something when she was
too also like I did for her too

103
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:48,559
have a nightmare like that seven years
later. So sins we're on the topic

104
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:52,000
of throwing those energies back and forth
towards people or why people do them.

105
00:11:52,200 --> 00:12:01,159
My mom says that she was at
somebody's house and when Signorge had stopped her,

106
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,879
and she's like, he said,
I need to tell you something.

107
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:13,080
Something's going on with you. So
my mom had an aneurism. She recovered

108
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:20,320
for the most part, she's okay, she's fine. But my grandma she

109
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:31,960
got an aneurism really bad. She
passed away. She, like I said,

110
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:37,679
whatever she was caring, whatever her
secrets were, they were definitely just

111
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,360
hers. Because we were just young. We didn't care enough about certain things,

112
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,960
especially not that's something there or nothing
like that. But she had less

113
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,519
something what didn Sukasa When my aunt
moved in, she told her that she

114
00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:01,879
needs to take that thing outside.
So she did, but look at the

115
00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:09,120
sim market. Whatever my grandma did, it was towards her, and it

116
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:16,679
just shot back boom and hit my
grandma twice. His urse. And these

117
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,679
are supposed to be people that are
supposed to love each other. What is

118
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:28,519
going on? When we were younger, Mike, I only went with my

119
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:37,080
grandma one time to Mexico. But
tell me why before our trip her van

120
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,120
gets stolen? Like how does your
van get stolen when we have a whole

121
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:48,919
trip planned. We eventually got it
back before our trip, but it was

122
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,559
like ripped to shreds, likely cut
the like they were looking for something,

123
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:58,080
but that whatever they were looking for
wasn't in there because my grandma wasn't doing

124
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:05,759
anything wrong. Maybe they got the
wrong band or whatever. But we went

125
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:11,320
with my brother and me and my
cousins. My aunt has four three or

126
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,440
four other children that had went with
us. I remember driving in the mountains

127
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:26,519
with them go on our way there, and they would close the windows and

128
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,360
I don't know if they were just
trying to scare us or what was going

129
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:37,519
on, but it's just like remember
them saying something about let's brew us and

130
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:43,000
we were in mountains. We were
just kids. We just huddled up together

131
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:52,519
and covered up. I love my
grandma, so I can't say that she's

132
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:56,919
bad or good. We didn't mess
around with any type of energies like that,

133
00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:01,279
not us kids, not as grown
ups. But I remember them saying

134
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:07,840
that. And my aunt nobody really
talks to her. She has a husband

135
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,120
and she's just them too. But
I have another cousin that is her daughter

136
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:20,600
and where closest can be, and
we love that that we can talk to

137
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:28,879
each other. And my mom and
her mom they don't talk. So whatever

138
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,840
energies are carrying around, and they
need to bury that hatchet before it's too

139
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:37,519
late. My cousin that I was
telling you about that goes to Mexico often,

140
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:43,120
and about his wife him, we
are very close. He's I have

141
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:48,559
two cousins that I'm very close to
and him he's the only one that will

142
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:56,559
have like crazy conversations or just watch
crazy stuff. His wife doesn't like it.

143
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,279
She's gonna I'm not supposed to be
watching up. She just will not.

144
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,399
She's not. Just don't go down
that hole because we it's not that

145
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,600
we love it, but we just
so go. After our recording, Ruby

146
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,080
and I were talking about a ritual
that she performed on herself. And in

147
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,759
this next section she mentions how she
asked about this woman one that can do

148
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:30,240
a form of cleansing el medicekeke Asilympias, and I was like, thing to

149
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:34,519
help my environment because I was just
feeling a little cloudy. And that was

150
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,919
just a couple of years ago,
and it was just I don't know.

151
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:44,279
So the thing that you do is
you send her a picture of yourself and

152
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:52,440
she'll get back to you. So
we sent her the picture of me and

153
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,679
nothing. She just wouldn't get back
to us. And I was like,

154
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,559
but why not, Like he's done
it for himself and other people. Why

155
00:17:03,599 --> 00:17:10,960
nothing? And still to this day, I don't know why she didn't get

156
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:18,160
back to us about the picture.
The only thing she told me to do

157
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:21,200
is that it can back out.
It will not dust on my end,

158
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,079
and she would do it on her
end. And that consisted of a couple

159
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:41,039
of candles and at Betterful May's a
bedful miss at Betful Florida, Beeful Matros

160
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,359
And you write your name on the
candle with your birthday three times on the

161
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,720
candle. You roll it in your
hands and you just let it be on

162
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:04,440
until it burns out, and you
see how it burns if it's doing good,

163
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:10,240
and one it's done burning, how
it's left, and you sender a

164
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:21,200
picture of that of the candle after
it's done burning. And I kept doing

165
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,920
it, not consistently, like repeatedly, but once in a while I would

166
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:33,680
keep getting a candle in redoing that, and eventually the candle got clearer and

167
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,240
I just burned more better. But
the first one was so dark, like

168
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,720
it would leave the smoke, the
black smoke around it, and after a

169
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:51,440
few times of doing it, it
would become clear like it'd burned better.

170
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:56,920
It wouldn't leave the cloud of smoke. One of my candles, which I

171
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:03,799
thought was really weird with it left
ridges all over. But I'm not her.

172
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:10,480
I'm not sure what she sees,
but I definitely do want to talk

173
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:15,039
to her about it again. I
reach out to them and ask her why

174
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:23,200
she never responded towards my picture.
I don't really give too much energy towards

175
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,240
this certain stuff. Me and my
mom are not that close. We just

176
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,839
do like basic miler daughter stuff.
But maybe I'll have some conversations about it.

177
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:37,759
I don't like to, Like I
said, I don't like to give

178
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:42,119
certain things energy because I think that's
what it wants, and I don't want

179
00:19:42,119 --> 00:20:03,880
more things to happen. Have you
ever seen something otherworldly? Through Instagram and

180
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,240
Facebook, I've been getting requests to
have stories from night shift workers, security

181
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:11,839
guards, and those who work alone. If that's you, or if you've

182
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:17,000

we can figure out how to tell your

183
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:22,480
story. You can find me on
