In the previous episode, all though tells us about dark experiences, including a
possible possession of his mother, but soon he starts to realize that maybe it's
him who can sense this more than others. My name is Edwin, and
here is all the true scary story and not told me? You know me
who When I stay in your room, I feel a lot of sadness,
a lot of depression. It was always a constant thing throughout the years.
And then recently my cousin tells me the reason why we never want to stay
in your room is because have you noticed that there's faces in your walls?
I was like, what do you mean, Yeah, it seems like the
faces you painted faces. Did you do that on purpose or as I recall,
No, I've never made a pattern to the painting. Maybe I gave
it like a certain effect, but it wasn't to draw a face like Yeah,
there's a lot of negative energy coming from your room. I believe that
you need to change that color from your room. My cousin has become a
very spiritual person. She's very in tune with the earth. She meditates a
lot. She's also like into tarot cards. The next day, my mom
suggests, oh, I think it's time that you do a cleansing to yourself.
Your cousin keeps bringing it up that that you really needs to cleanse because
she feels a lot of not negative, but very depressing, its sadden energy
from you. Why don't you give it a shot. All right, I'll
give it a shot. Next day, she begins to we could say,
do the cleanse. It's telling me there's a lot of sadness in you.
And I know it's hard getting out of a relationship when it's when you've been
with somebody for so long. But it's time for you to let go of
that. It's time for you to just center yourself and finally move on,
be free from all this negative energy because this person was never right for you.
This person was very judgmental towards you. And it's true I always felt
when I would go to this person's house and I was not welcome at all.
But the next thing, my uncle, who's also a really good friends
is pretty much attached at the hip with my cousin, for of course they're
related, tells me pretty much. I wanted to didn't want to bring this
up, but he practices the same thing as my cousin, I actually saw
someone go up to your room last night. He's seen this little man.
He's like this very little man, and as he gets closer to the stairs,
he starts to get bigger and bigger, and when he gets up to
the first step, he just gets on off fours and begins to crawl run
off to your room. That's what I just saw. And when he told
me that, I was like, Oh my God, has it come to
the point where I've attracted dark energy and maybe bad spirits, Because that's not
the first time someone has told me that they've seen a man. A friend
of mine actually told me that too. Friend one time we were watching a
movie and tells me, you know what, I got to get out of
this house. She has, we could say, a sixth sense. She
almost practices the same thing as my cousin. Very spiritual person meditates is there's
someone right next to me and he's a man, and I don't like his
presence. I need to get out of your house now. That same day,
when I got the cleanse, my cousin reads my tarot cards. One
of them had to do with the relationship that it was time for me to
move on. Next one was about what my relationship status would be in the
future and what I should do about pursuing a career. Thankfully those two things.
Three things was positive, pursue what your dreams. Love is coming your
way. But it's time to forget about this person. When she revealed something
to us, that's when almost all the dots connected to when I was a
kid, when now as an adult, of feeling certain things when I'm around
people, things that would happen or maybe things that I would see. She
revealed the secret about my mom's side of the family, that my great grandma
was a white witch. From what she said, she was one of the
best ones in that place, in that area. And it wasn't just her,
it was almost there was a group of them. I guess we could
say it was a covet of white witches. She said that my great grandma
never practiced any evil doing towards anybody. It was always to do positive things.
When she said that to us, it's almost like everything made sense.
That's why when I was a kid, that's why when I approached, when
I was next to this person, I didn't feel anything good. I met
her once when I was five years old and I recall her wearing a lot
of black, and the sense that I got from her wasn't a bad one.
It was almost like she was mourning someone. I remember my mom told
me that her one of her last friends had passed on and that was why
people were black, and they're mourning someone. My great grandma and Ray didn't
really say much words to me. I think the only time she had ever
said something to me was when we were at the dinner table and she disciplined
me in a very stern manner, not yelling, not raising her voice,
but very stern. She told me, young men, when someone's at the
dinner table, you never chew gum. You respect the family. Time,
I took the gum out of my mouth and just said, I'm sorry,
Grandma. And that was the first time I ever saw my great grandma smile,
and I remember this vibe that I got from her was just very joyous,
very happy, very it's very beautiful, and she just said it's okay,
just remember morals. That was maybe the last time I saw him,
my great grandma, because she went back to Mexico. My cousin later told
me that although looking back at your life, do you ever get these senses
of bad vibes, good vibes, anything like that, and yeah, a
lot. And she would tell me it's because you have a sixth sense.
You have a sixth sense. Do you ever feel like things protecting you?
I'm like, yeah, all the time. I could say, there's been
situations where I could have gotten hurt, but it never went down. I
always felt that there was something protecting me at the same time when these things
would happen. She revealed to me, Yeah, because of that, her
grandma, we could say, blessed us with whatever she was doing. She
didn't want her family harmed. And I could say, that's probably why my
mom didn't go through for what she was going to do. Or maybe that
day that night she the way she was walking and the way she looked like
almost possessed, and me going up to her and praying, maybe because I
had good spirits we could say around me, and that that saved her.
It's because of those my grandma. I was like maybe twenty and a friend
of mine invited me to a party, and we went to this party and
everyone's having a good time drinking and stuff like that. To a certain point,
the vibe that I felt just went from fun happiness to just you need
to get out of here now. I remember telling my friend, hey,
you know what, let's go, man, and thankfully be like, yeah,
you know, I'm just not feeling it anymore. Let's go. And
we would tell our friend, hey, listen, we'll see you later.
We're gonna go home, feeling this strong bad vibe, getting in the car
and leaving, and then once getting to my house, we get a phone
call from my friends saying, hey, you guys are lucky that you left
when you did, because when you left, things just went bad quickly.
A fight broke out and the next thing, you know, just gunshots and
then and it wasn't just the first time something like that happened. It was
maybe me hanging out with some friends at the park or hanging out, you
know, in an area probably didn't lead to the gunshots, but it would
lead to a fight. A couple of years ago, there was a neighbor
that we had here, Me and my friends were just kind of hanging outside
my house. I was like, hey, you guys, want to go
somewhere else, And then I don't know, something just doesn't feel right.
Just let's go somewhere else. All right, and we went to like a
gas station to get some sodas. This time I had no car and we
would walk and as we were walking back, there's the ambulance turns now a
massive fight happened between a couple of neighbors and someone ended up getting stabbed.
So things like that, like my cousin saying, do you ever feel these
vibes? Yeah, of course, And they're strong when they come on,
very strong, and it's some tell me you got to get out of here
now. Even at my old job, I will pick up on people's vibes,
carry them with me, and then I tell my mom, man,
I don't feel so well right now. My mom, being superstitious clean,
we got to clean you with an egg. It's a sort of a cleansing
in Latin American culture. I was cleaning myself with an egg and around the
first time like it touched my head, it immediately cracks. And when it
cracked, the yoke was just rotted, just badly rotted. And she would
tell me how someone in your job does not like you, or that area
that you're in is as bad. I've never been the type of person like
I'll just ignore it. It's a superstition. No, like, it's like
something like, since I was a kid, always tells me, listen to
what's going on, listen to yourself and just evade what's going on, and
leave the situation and take us whoever's around you, just take them with you.
And it just goes back to my cousin said, maybe it's because of
my great grandma. She maybe whatever she was practicing was trying to save her
family from whatever evil doings might someone might have tried to cause on us,
or any harm happening to us. Because I feel it all the time.
I feel like I'm there's something around me that's protecting me. And that's what
a lot of people say too, Like people will tell people when they read
their palm, Hey, there's someone beside you and they're taking care of you.
My mom everything she's experienced when she was younger in her little village,
people would do either good things or bad things, especially being a woman of
faith. My mom is very hardcore Catholic and always tells me me, hope
if you're Bible. Normally, a person who is religious wouldn't even want to
dabble it in that realm of spirituality. But for some reason, my mom
believes in it and believes that you whole bird some stage in your room tonight,
we got to cleanse your room. I'm going to cleanse my room too.
Or you put this like this piece of wood, this piece of woods
from a certain part of Mexico, and if you put the piece of wood
in your wallet, it's going to give you good luck. That relative I
was telling you about that decided to do witchcraft on my mom. I do
recall when I was around like nine years old, she was also very religious.
But then somewhere around the middle they began to change course. She began
to hang out with what they call Santero's who practiced that EA and these were
people directly from Cuba. They would always wear white and my aunt would surround
herself with these people. That's when my mom started to back away from this
relative because my mom, being superstitious and religious, didn't really want to step
in that realm with her because my aunt, this relative would tell her,
yeah, you should start getting into this, you should start cleansing your house
with this or doing this. I recall going to one of these individuals houses
not to say anything bad about that realm, because even that certain practice,
you could do good things, but at the same time they could do bad
things. With any kind of thing, any kind of spirituality that anybody might
practice, there's always good and there's evil going I went to their house,
and I remember seeing a lot of things that I wasn't used to. I'm
used to rosaries, I'm used to a statue of Jesus on the cross the
Bible, but stepping into this person's house was just very different. They have
different beliefs. I would see a lot of beads. I think at one
point I saw turtle shells, actual turtle shells, just in a line in
a garage. I remember when I went into this individual's house, their garage
is very I remember just feeling just a very negative feeling in this person's garage
that maybe I shouldn't be here. I need to, But at the same
time, I'm with those relatives who invited me to go there, and they've
been charging me, so I can't really decide to leave. I remember this
parson's house, which is very dilapidated, like it needed paintwork, and it
was something almost out of a horror movie. Going into the backyard, and
they had this great tree and the tree was just like something out of a
movie, very decrepitive, very scary looking, just getting this vibe. I
don't think this is the right place for me. And this is the same
relative who wanted my mom to get hurt or didn't feel that she was ever
good enough for my dad. It's strange because this relative now gets along with
my mom. My mom never brings up that, yeah, I know that
you did this to me, to just let bygones be bygones. And we
don't really have communication with this relative as much. Whatever here and there.
If I ever run into them, Hey, how's it going, how's life,
how's it treating you up next, all though tells us about a terrifying
experience at his own house. My mom's side of the family is a little
more in tune with it. They feel these certain feelings. My dad's side
of the family doesn't really pay attention to that. They're more hardcore Catholic,
except for this one relative that is related to him. They're more in tune
with santaria and stuff like that. I've actually seen them do cleansings on people.
Usually the cleansing I'm used to is just, oh, you rub yourself
with an egg to get all those bad vibrations. But I would see them
doing it on people and they would be with a piece of raw meat and
wrapped in like a piece of paper. And you get tell when you ever
step into this relative's house that it's almost like how Navajo Indians practice, you
know, the beads, the certain things that they have placed on mantles or
something like that. It's almost like almost connected to the different traditions, they're
all connected. It almost feels that way that it's all connected. My mom
would tell me the stories about I know, in Navajo tradition they call them
skinwalkers, but in Mexican culture they call them naguals, people who can shape
shift into different forms, use different voices, or even shape shift into an
animal. And I remember that would be stories my mom would tell me when
she lived in the ranch people who would practice doing that, and they would
call them nagualles and would tell me, if you hear a wolf howl at
night, to make sure you lock all the doors, because that's them.
When our dog, his name was Luscetto passed away, I would actually see
him pass by, like from the corner of my eye, I would see
him pass by and I would tell my mom, Mom, I just saw
Luso, and she's like, I saw him too, or we'd hear like
I recognized his whimper, or recognize it the way he would scratch the door.
I would hear him scratching and a whimper to let him in, and
I just have to recall and say, oh, he's not here anymore.
He passed away. A couple of years ago when my mom, she was
doing the graveyard shift in Valencia working and she came back and usually she would
go to the backyard to either throw trash away or to just to walk around
for a little bit. And one night, I remember she was wanting to
go in the backyard and as soon as she touched the door, she could
literally feel that because we did end up burying our dog in our backyard and
we put this altar for him, and she felt like, it's almost like
our puppy was telling her, don't come back here, Mommy, don't come
back here. Stay inside, don't come back here. A couple of days
after that, I had a day off of work and I decided, Hey,
I'm gonna do an all night or I'm going to watch some TV,
get some popcorn, just watch my favorite shows on YouTube. And I was
with my new dog at the time. We were both watching TV and around
the round. It was already like one one am, and we both watching
TV. And then out of nowhere, I heard three knocks and it was
loud enough to the point where my dog, the new one, heard it
and they were barking, and I stood up very frightened, and I was
like, did someone just sneak into our backyard? And my dog, the
new dog, Roxy, she was right in front of the window where the
knock came from, and immediately she got into a position that was like almost
like mode, but a fight mode, where it's almost like a do or
die, because she was snarling. She was she was snapping her jaws like
you could hear her teeth, just like a snap. And she's like a
Staffy bull terrier, the closest thing to a pitbull. And I remember I
would yell Roxy to calm down, and she just got quiet and looked at
me with these innocent eyes. And next thing you know, three more knocks
and Roxy immediately turns into once again into a vicious dog, like a fighting
dog. I was like, someone's in the backyard someone has to be in
the backyard. I remember I flashed the light, the lights in the backyard,
turning them on puff. I would stay quiet, making sure if I
could hear these persons footsteps run away. And immediately I was like, you
know what, I'm just gonna open the door and see what's going on.
And we went in the backyard and nothing. I remember, Roxy just runs
past me and starts looking and looking, sniffing, looking for whatever, and
nothing. And I could say that I was probably connected to when my mom
had this presence, that our dog that passed away, telling her don't go
back there, don't go back there. I could remember when before that happened.
In my head, I was thinking, I feel like something is here,
Something is here, and I don't know what it is, but it's
telling me to once again get up and go to sleep, go away.
And that's when I heard the three knocks. We would always like try to
think that it's the logical explanation, oh something fell against the board, But
nah, I would I don't know. Some like my cousin had always also
told me that spirits come and go. Some people it could be the same
spirit. Some it could be that they're just passing through, and they just
happened to appear to those people that have an understanding to apparitions or the gateway
to the spirit world, and they just seem to appear themselves. And some
can be good, some can be bad. It's depending on how your vibe.
Like going back to people saying, if you're displaying negative energy in your
home, anger fighting, the negative energy will come towards you. They'll attach
themselves to you. But if you could say you're a light hearted person with
good intentions, you'll see them pass by. Nothing. Yeah, just you
could say if me being I guess I've always been interested in the strange and
unusual. And what's more? Then is it? What's more to this list?
