I'm your host, Brent Thomas. This is the Paranormal Portal
Podcast and once again the special thanks to Revolver podcasts
for making all this possible. Ghosts encounters are probably some
of the most common of the paranormal encounters out there.
I think everybody and their brother and their sister knows
something about ghosts, having either sat around campfires and traded
stories or having those weird feelings like you're being watched
or you're not alone. I was just having a discussion
with my cousin who he and I grew up really
really close, and we were we experienced quite a bit together,
and I think visiting him was where I got my
feet really wet with encountering the paranormal. His home was,
you know, pretty fantastically haunted. I don't recall any specific
events there, but I do recall what it felt like
to be watched, and I recall what it felt like
to know if somebody was watching me and to not
be able to do anything about it. And I was
about twelve years old at the time, maybe thirteen, and
it was an incredibly unnerving experience, but it gave me
a real respect and appreciation and curiosity about what is
this that is the paranormal? And so I've had a
lot of these experiences and a lot of things have
happened to me ghostly encounters or spiritual encounters, many of
which have been wonderful. Many many of the encounters that
I've had have not been not been horrible at all,
but they've been encouraging and comforting, which I think is
important to note because oftentimes the scary ones are all
that get the press. I mean, we hear about the
scary ones all the time, but then again, we all
love to be scared, so it's entertaining, I guess, to
a degree. And you know, as long as everybody's okay
and nobody got hurt, it's all in good fun. But
tonight we're going to talk about a few stories that
of people that encountered ghosts themselves. First one I want
to bring to you is it's kind of a quick one,
and it goes like this. One night, after a long
day at school, I decided to go to bed early
because I had a really bad headache. And there is
a forest in my backyard and I sometimes feel like
someone's watching me, but that night it was way worse.
So I looked around and saw shadows moving. I decided
to ignore it and I went to bed. As I
fell asleep, I started having this dream that a guy
was chasing me in the forest, and after running for
a while, I turned around to see if he was
still there, but I couldn't see him, so I stopped
and turned around, and he grabbed my wrists really hard.
It felt so real, like if it wasn't it wasn't
in a dream. I woke up into my horror. I
saw that both my wrists were bruised in the shape
of fingers. I still freak out when someone grabs my wrists.
And Ladies and Gentlemen, there's this idea out there, and
I'm not sure where this comes from. I guess it's
maybe it's wishful thinking. Maybe it's an idea of protected
being protected. But some people claim that ghosts can't hurt you.
And while I agree that ninety nine percent of the
times ghosts wouldn't hurt you, I don't know that they can't.
I don't know that there's any rules that say they can't,
or if people cross a line that they wouldn't respond.
There are so many stories like this, Ladies and Gentlemen,
where people are struck, they are thrown up against walls,
they are grabbed and have lasting bruises around their neck
they're choked. There's several instances of people being choked by
things that appeared from seemingly out of nowhere. In one
such instance, a paranormal investigator was investigating a house I
believe in California. It was extraordinarily haunted. And this was
back probably in the eighties, so quite a long time now,
i'll go. But it's a pretty well known case, and
they were investigating. The woman had horrible situation. It was
just her and her son child like infant son in
a home, had horrible, horrible things going on. They called
in the investigators. They came back several times, but one
night in particular, they decided to go check out the attic,
which was not a walk up attic, it was an
access attic. And so the guy goes in the lounder room,
stands up on the washing machine, pushes up the panel
of the ceiling to get up in the attic, and
two of the investigators go up there, and all of
a sudden they're up there, and the next thing they know,
they're hearing, oh, you know, they're hearing all this commotion downstairs.
And the guy comes down and he's got a piece
of wire wrapped around his neck and the other investigator
was able to snap a couple pictures of what had happened.
But the picture shows the guy being held pretty much
on his tippy toes up to a rafter where this
wire was put around his neck and hung up on
a nail. And the guy did get down, but he
was really really quite rattled. They did have photographic evidence
of it. It seems to be I would give it credibility.
I mean, it seems like a fantastic claim, but you know,
it is pretty well documented and well researched. I've never
heard that it's been debunked. There are many cases of
people being grabbed and having finger marks on them, slaps,
and of course we've all heard of the scratches, many
people being scratched by spirits. So when people say spirits
can't hurt you, that's not necessarily true. And would I
would caution having that kind of arrogance. Not that I
think you need to be afraid, but I think you
need to be cautious. Just my two cents on that one.
The next one I want to bring to you tonight
is a little bit longer, but not too much, and
it says about five years ago my aunt moved in
with me and my family because she was really sick
and her kids lived out of state. I was always
really close with my aunt and look forward to her
living with us. It was closer to or I was
closer to her than I was with my own mom. Anyway,
she stayed with us for about five months and then
decided to move out west so she could be closer
to her own kids. After about two months of her
moving out west, her daughter called me and told me
my aunt was in the hospital and the doctors didn't
think she was going to make it out. I was
really upset, but I was also thankful that I had
a chance to become even more close to her in
the five months that they stayed with us, or that
she stayed with us. A week later, I was laying
on the couch, half awake and half asleep when I
had a dream that my aunt was skipping down the
driveway telling me goodbye and that she would be back.
She was real adamant about the fact that she'd be back,
she claimed. She climbed into her suv and drove off,
And just as she was driving off in my dream,
the phone rang and I woke me up. And it
was my mother telling me that my aunt had just died.
I knew that's what she was going to say even
before she got the words out. What was weird about
the dream is that my aunt looked healthy, She actually
had some weight on. She was always skin and bones,
and she was because she was so sick, and the
fact that she was skipping. My aunt could barely walk,
let alone skip. But plus she didn't own a car
because she always was too weak to drive. I like
to believe that she came to tell me goodbye in
my dreams, but as far as her coming back, I
kind of wish she would, I say, I kind of
wish she would because I've never seen a ghost and
know for a fact that I would go insane if
I did. Oh. So, those are the really encouraging kinds
of visits, and that's nice for the closure, it's nice
for the connection. It's nice that our loved ones can
visit us. And this has happened to me a few times.
Most recently, my father visited me in a dream. He
died just this last spring, and it was it was
pretty tough, but it was really healing, a really healing
moment when he showed up in my dream, and it
was very very lucid and real, even down to smells
and the feeling of him. He was just all there,
and for me it was wonderful and we and we
got to say some things, and he said some things
he needed to say, and I said some things I
needed to say, and it was very very healing. And
some people may play that off as a as a
psychology thing. Well, it's just you know, you're trying to
reconcile that in in your subconscious mind, and so that's
your way of making peace with that. And you know,
if that's what some people believe, then that's fine. But
for me, it was real. It was a real, experienced,
real event, and it was something that I'm really grateful for.
And several other loved ones have visited me as well,
and all of them have been absolutely amazing experiences and
very very real. Now, the difference for me is that
I normally don't remember my dreams. I normally very very
vaguely remember seeing something happen or knowing that something happened
in a dream. Sometimes I will get an image or
two of recall, and that's about it. But these dreams
are just crystal clear, and wake up just with such
strong emotion and love and they are just really amazing.
So I believe there's really something to that, and I'm
really thankful for those experiences that I've been able to have.
And I hope any of you out there that have
suffered the loss of a loved one have had experiences
like that as well, And if you have, please please
let me know. Email your experiences like that to Paranormal
Portal Radio at gmail dot com. Those are great things
to hear about and to share. I love those kind
of stories incredibly because of the hope and the peace
and the love that they that they they give and
they and they cause. So the next one is a
little bit longer. I've been living in Santa Barbara back
in nineteen ninety three when I found myself suddenly without
a job. After several months of no luck finding any
other job, I started going to a local temporary agency
for work. One by one, they turned me down, telling
me that with my engineering degree that they weren't going
to be able to place me because I was overqualified.
I never understand that for anything that they had to offer.
So out of the seven temp agencies in town, the
first six had turned me away without even taking my resume. However,
the seventh place not only took me in, but they
actually gave me a job. And I found out later
that this last place was run by two ladies who
both had strong psychic abilities, and many of their workers
also had strong psychic ability. So anyway, at the job
they got me, I became friends with this one girl
who also worked with them, who was a strong psychic
as well, and she would tell me what I had
for breakfast that day, or what I would find in
my mail when I got home, things like that. It
was really freaky. And I was really into using a
wijaboard at that time and have since learned why one
should should never do that. Oh God, yeah, that never
never ends very well usually, But and there was, and
that was this girl's main practice. So we would get
together all the time and use her weede aboard and
she had she had had specially made and it was
round and made of wood and really elaborately decorated, and
I was it was actually very nice even as just
a piece of art. Well, this girl's background story was
that in every incarnation she had been through, she had
always ended up being killed by this evil spirit who
was jealous of her relationships with her soulmate. Apparently also
she had always been killed with the same jewel dagger.
So in this incarnation she had said that she had
identified her soulmate and the evil spirit whom happened to
be married to each other, whom happened to be married
to each other this time around, and she had a
photograph of them, with this woman having a jeweled dagger
stuck in her belt as some kind of decoration perhaps anyway,
so take this part of the story as you will.
So we were doing the board one night, and we
were talking with her guardian angel, and suddenly an evil
spirit took over the board and started swearing at us
and threatening us. So we decided to send it away
and call it a night. At this point, it was
about two am, and we were discussing what had just happened,
and I mentioned to my friend that I would like
to try to help her in any way I could, spiritually, anyway,
so to save her from repeating her fate. She thanked me,
and I gathered my things and left. I was about
ten steps outside her door when suddenly someone screamed in
my ear. It was almost like someone ran past me,
screaming at me because the volume was very low, but
then very loud, then very low again. I spun around,
but of course nobody was there. My friend lived in
an apartment complex, but being two in the morning, it
was all quiet around. I was scared and went back
to my friend's place. I thought I knew what I
had heard, but we brought out the board again and
called for her guardian angel to confirm it. What I
heard was don't help her, you jerk. So now I'm
scared out of my wits, thinking her evil spirit is
now after me. It took a while to cal mm down,
my friend to call me down, and my friend said
that she would ask her guardian angel to accompany me
home to make sure I was safe. I kind of
pooh pooed that in my mind, thinking that wasn't possible,
but agreed. So I get in my car and start
driving home. Several minutes later, when I was on the
freeway of all places, what should happen? But suddenly a man,
her guardian angel, I assume, appeared sitting in the passenger
seat in my car, solid as you or I. He
was about thirty five, blonde hair, wearing a red plaid
shirt and blue jeans. His body was turned towards me,
and he smiled at me and waved, and then disappeared.
I thought to myself, huh, what do you know he
did follow me home? That's cool. Then when I got
back to my apartment and parked my car, this man
appeared again, solid as before, sitting cross legged on the
hood of my car, again smiling and waving at me.
Then the next morning, as I was taking a shower,
suddenly two eyeballs appeared on the wall of my shower
and looked around and disappeared. WHOA. That freaked me out
the momst, but only because I was naked at the
time in the shower. Dosume the eyeballs belong to the
Guardian Angel. So nothing bad happened to me in regards
of the evil spirit, and I never saw the red
plaid man again. Many people asked me, weren't you scared
when he showed up in your car when you were
going seventy miles an hour, And I say no, Actually,
a sense of peace and calm came over me each
time he appeared, and I knew that I was safe
with him. It was a very very interesting experience it
was that is a very interesting experience and very cool
experience all the same. These stories are amazing, they're you know,
most of us, I think, can relate in some way
or another to have in a ghost encounter. I mean,
it's either we have had them ourselves or we know
somebody who has. And for the most part, I think
people are open to the idea that, you know, when
they happen. Yeah, they're shocking, they're unnerving, but most people
have room in their paradigm for the idea that ghosts
can be around. And I hope through the through doing
the portal, that we're discussing this quite a bit and
helping people understand what that means. I think that in
most cases when ghost encounters happen, people feel powerless. They
feel like I've lost control. Something's happening that I have
no control over. I can't see it, I don't know
how it's doing what it's doing, and it makes me
feel weak and vulnerable. And hopefully what we're doing is
teaching people how to reclaim their energy, reclaim their authority,
and to reclaim their lives in situations like this, because
feeling helpless is a horrible, horrible feeling, and you do
have options, you do have choices, you do have the
ability to state whether or not you're okay with what's
going on. And nine times out of ten, the spirits
will listen. They don't want to cause you problems. They
just want you to know they're there, or they want
to tell you something, or they want to share some
kind of information in most cases, or you know, just
they don't want to be forgotten. So when acknowledgement is important.
And again to reiterate what we said many, many, many
times on the show, lay down your rules. I'm okay
if you're here, if you're loving and kind and a
very positive energy. But here's what I'm okay with. Here's
what I'm not okay with. Don't do this, this, this,
it's okay if you do this, this this. You know,
you can say things like, if you have children, don't
scare my kids ever, don't don't pester the animals, et cetera,
et cetera. You can, you can, you know, claim your
your your space and your your home is a sacred space.
So you know, chances are a lot of people are
sharing homes with with another entity and they don't always
know it, but Anyway, we're going to get into some
stories of people who have encountered these things and see
what they have to say say, and of course we'll
talk about a little bit about each of these stories
as we read them. The first story is I have
a friend who's in her late eighties and she's experiencing
some problems. She loves dolls. She just bought a ton
of dolls in an auction and they were from around
the early eighteen hundreds. A couple of nights ago, she
had them all spread out on her dining room table
and left them there when she went to bed at
about midnight twelve that morning, I guess that's midnight. Yeah,
she heard a noise and woke up and got out
of bed to see what the hell the noise was,
And she walked through the hall and into the dining room.
She saw a little boy sitting at her table. She
got a little closer, and then she realized that the
whole side of his face was burned, like maybe he
had been caught in a fire. So she started shaking
her keen at him and started yelling at him, seeing
things like who are you, what are you doing in
my house? And so on. The little boy looked up
at her, stood up, and then disappeared. This, of course
startled her and she spun around to go back through
the hall. And now her den is right next to
the dining room, and as she was turning, something caught
her eye in the den. She looked in again and
saw a man staying above her coffee table looking at something.
She started yelling and the man immediately disappeared as well.
So that was just a couple of nights ago, and
now this last night, she was sleeping and around five
am she heard another noise and woke up again, and
this time she saw a young lady in what looked
like pre Civil War type of a skirt which was
full length and such, and the lady had a small
fine what looked like a paintbrush in her hand, and
it looked like she was painting the mirror that Margaret
has on her wall. Started yelling again and she disappeared.
She eventually fell back to sleep, and then at about
seven am she woke up and saw a young African
American girl about possibly fourteen years old, standing at the
end of her bed, and she was wearing the same
type of dress. The girl looked like she was trying.
She was. She looked like she was looking down at
something near Margaret's feet, and again Margaret yelled at her
and the ghost disappeared. So this lady's yelling a lot.
She's pretty pretty freaked, and she can't really figure out
what's going on and why this is happening. I think
it has something to do with the dolls. That day,
after the sighting of the little Boy and the man,
she packed all the dolls up and put them in
a spare room. I think these ghosts might be the
owners of these dolls and they're just looking for them.
We've tried to convince her that she needs to talk
to them, but she refuses. And again, ladies and gentlemen,
when you bring things into your home, and especially things
that have such a history, you can't be too surprised
if they come with some extra attachments, comes with free attachments.
And in this case, these aren't like you know, designer attachments.
They are in the form of spirits. And if you
ever bring something in your house and you start noticing
things go awry, And we've done shows on this too,
where we've talked about how to, you know, introduce things
into your home and things that you can do before
you bring them in your home. I would be really careful.
I would. I don't think I would. Well, you know
best practices. Of course, you never bring a whole bunch
of stuff in your house at once. But you know,
this is a real world where people are doing stuff.
They're busy, and they got to get them done. If
you bring things in and things start going sideways, take
them out, put them on like maybe an outside garage
or somewhere that's not in your living space, and see
if the activity then goes down or levels out. And
if it does, then look at that object and look
at how to get it cleansed or blessed or something
to release whatever negative charge or charge is on it. Now,
I don't think that these were negative spirits at all
that this person was dealing with. They were just spirits
that were somehow attached possibly to these items. And I
think if she wasn't experiencing this before, but bringing these
dolls home all of a sudden, she's experiencing things, it
seems pretty clear that she was. Probably these beings were
probably attached to the dolls in some way or another. Now,
that doesn't mean these are haunted dolls. It can mean
that it could mean that several of the dolls were
indeed haunted dolls, but it could be, as the author suggested,
that maybe these were special dolls to them, and if
they do come from the eighteen hundreds, back then a
doll was a significant investment. It was It was quite
a quite a sum of money for someone to buy
a doll for their child, or to make a doll
for their child. It was a significant undertaking as well.
And so the fact that they could have an energy
attachment to them doesn't doesn't surprise me a little. Old
dolls definitely probably do all carry some sort of vibration,
but that doesn't mean they will always be a manifestible consciousness.
But you know, anytime you introduce things into your house,
cleanse them, bless them, stage them, maybe you know, do
assault blessing with them. Whatever, whatever you believe, And this
the show is never going to be about giving you
a religious practice. Whatever your religious practice is, that's what's powerful.
Whatever I tell you. If it's not something that you
observe or believe or follow with your heart, it doesn't
matter how profound I think it is, it won't be
that effective for you. But if you're a Christian, use
some Christian rituals and practices like holy water and and
et cetera, et cetera. If you're Wickan, then you'll want
to use some some herbs, salts, moonwater, spirit water, things
like that can can be incredibly strong, and saging is
also very strong. So whatever you observe, whatever, whatever means
something to you, is where the power comes from. So
whatever you know follows your belief system, do that, and
if you can't, then bring someone in that can. It
doesn't matter what you believe in. There's always somebody who's
in a position to help with problems like this. So
just my two cents, ladies and gentlemen. But yeah, I
think it's the Dums. So all right. The next one
is this is a little one. It's a pretty quick
little story. But on one really cold night, it was
raining outside and it was lashing down on the windows,
and the darkness was really heavy, and I was laying
on my bed and I couldn't sleep because the rain
was absolutely pounding on the house I lived with only
with my mother and my father at the time, and
that was only about ten years old, and I wasn't
sure if it was only my imagination. But I started
to hear things, to hear noises, like a man breathing
really heavily, and I thought it might have been my imagination,
and I didn't want to go and go and wake
up my parents. But the noises got worse, and the
whispering came really clear, and he was trying to tell
me something. But I really began to tremble, and the
louder it got, the more scared I became. I plucked
up the courage to reach for the light as I
felt someone holding me back. I turned and glanced at
my mirror and I suddenly saw an old man standing
behind me. It then disappeared, and to this day, I
have never seen him again. What did he want from me?
I will never know. And that's that's a tough one.
If it's a one time apparition, it's hard to know.
If it was something to do with the house, if
it was something to do with proct perhaps a protective
family spirit, an ancestor of some kind or grandparent that
turns into a guardian, it's tough to know. But for
whatever reason, that spirit chose to manifest itself itself to
this person, and it didn't seem like it was a
negative experience so much as it was there. It was
maybe trying to reassure her because of the power of
the storm, and it was a you know it just
a grandparent kind of spirit. So hard to know, but
I think it's a really cool story. You just never
know when it's going to happen. That's the thing with
the paranormal. You don't know when something paranormal is going
to happen. It just happens. When it happens, why it happens,
And that's the rules, as I understand. All right, So
let's see. Oh, I guess I thought I had another
one up, but I will get another one up. The
third story tonight is called well, I don't know what
it's called. Let's see. I'd just gotten out of prison
a couple of months earlier and had a tough time
adjusting to my new sleep routine. I had a full
time job at a factory and work in the day shift.
I would wake up at around three in the morning
every day, and therefore I was usually asleep by six
or seven every night. One night, I was laying in
bed watching TV, and I was living with my parents
at the time, and I was a little scared to
be at their house because it's in the country and
they have no dust to dawn light. I usually slept
with the TV on, and I rolled over to face
the wall and go to sleep. And as I was
laying there, relaxing and almost asleep, nature called. And what
did nature say? Sorry, it's funny in my head, ladies
and gentlemen, and that's just the problem when I have
on MyPhone. I rolled over to get up, and there
in the corner of my room stood a young man.
To this day, I can still tell you what he
looked like. This happened almost seven years ago. He stood
very still, looking down at the floor. He had blonde
hair a really pale complexion. He wore a navy blue
hoodie with pockets on the front. Both hands were in
the pockets, tan colored pants, and dark shoes. I looked
at him for a few seconds and then rolled back over.
My heart was beating really fast, and once I got
the nerve, I flew out of my bed and into
the living room. My parents thought I was absolutely nuts,
And when I told them the story, I know what
I saw and I know it was real. Now here's
the thing. If you want to ever go to an
extraordinarily haunted place, go to a prison. There are such
charges of energy in those places. They are just so strongly,
powerfully charged and with despair, with sadness, and with all
this negative energy. Now, many spirits are transitory, They will
move from place to place. So if for some reason,
when this person was incarcerated, a spirit, for whatever reason,
decided that it wanted to be around this person. So
when this person left incarceration, the spirit more than likely followed,
And this is what they're experiencing now or when they
were out. This account comes from It was recorded in
two thousand and seven, so it's quite a while now,
but you know, I would almost bet it does. For
the visual cues of it give me the idea that
this was an urban type of person in life, like
perhaps from a city or something. It wasn't dressed, and
from what I took from the the story, the narrative,
even though it was short, my idea is that they're
living out in the country, out on the sticks. And
perhaps they mentioned that and I don't remember. Yeah, it
says the houses in the country. So yeah, that's why
that's why I got that idea. I'm a sharp pencil.
I'm just telling you that. But so that that look
could have been, you know, somebody that was in the
in the prison and for whatever reason they lost their life.
They may have ended their lives. That's the unfortunate part
of prison life is that, you know, sometimes people decide
that they just can't do the time and not in
those circumstances, and so they look for the the alternate route,
and unfortunately it does. It does leave a lot of
of unfinished business, I'm sure, And so I think everybody
and their brother knows that unvisioned unfinished business is as
a big reason for someone to linger. So I would
I would guess that they probably brought at home and
they were released and it's still there, or was at
least as the time of this writing. I don't know.
I hope the person found someone to help them get
rid of the attachment, or the attachment itself just moved
on after a while. I think that people can be
therapeutic that when a spirit attaches to somebody, and that
doesn't always imply a negative thing. It's just you remind
the spirit of something. It could be a family member,
it could be somebody they loved, it could be something
just something about you reminded them of something that they
held dear or was important to them, so they attach
or basically just stay close for a period of time.
Now that doesn't imply that they will never ever leave.
They may very well leave on their own anyway. So
it may be that this spirit needed to move away
from the prison environment followed this person stayed for a
while and then has gone on to do whatever it
is they do. Just some thoughts. I don't know for sure,
but that's just my intuition saying you know that it
very well could have been just a temporary type of attachment.
And again, attachments don't mean negative necessarily, They're just meaning
that they're around you for some reason. It could be
that this person also is sensitive but may not even
know it or have abilities, and that of course is
always a magnet. So I've been able to see and
speak to ghosts since I was really little. For the
most part, they are nice, playful ghosts, But there's this
one really dark, evil thing entity called the cloud Man.
He is tall, wears all black, and holds you down
to where you can't move or breathe. Both my mom
and I have seen him many times. Over the years,
and I would say probably about once a week. He
causes the bed to shake and paralysis to us both.
And there is also a young woman who is seems
to be about nineteen years old or maybe a little
bit older, that is named Amy, who was my mother
in a past life. And she wears an old timey
white nightgown and can be seen just about anywhere I go.
She always frequents the hallway and goes to my bedroom
and then the bathroom. And there's also a little boy
who wears a sailor suit and he's about five and
moves things around and hides things from us. And there
was one time where he moved a table in front
of me and caused me to break my arm. That's dark.
He didn't mean to hurt us though, or hurt me though.
And there are also three other people, but I do
not see them, only my mom sees them. And I've
been told by a psychic that both my mother are
highly psychic. I'm extremely interested in spirits, good and bad.
I'd be careing, be careful with that, but I have
a lot of stories, so if you're interested, just let
me know. Well, here's the thing I've never ever before
this account heard of anybody being haunted by a ghost
from from their past life, even a family member's past
life ghost. That to me doesn't make sense because the
idea to me is it's you that has occurred in
different incarnations through what we understand is time. So the
idea that how that part of you or part of
someone you love is still kind of floating around having
its own presence in your time, to me doesn't make sense.
I've never heard of that before. Now I have to
be careful because I can't pretend just because it doesn't
make sense to me, it's not possible. But that is
a new concept to me as of this moment. It's
like it's like those memes how old are you? Well?
I was right now old. I've never heard of that before.
I guess anything as possible, especially depending upon the term,
you know, the terms of that person's life. Maybe there's
a lot of quote unquote unfinished business. Maybe there's the attachment.
I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me though,
to be honest with you, I've never ever heard of
that before. But it's very interesting. I can say that
I've heard of it now, but I don't know what
to think about about it personally, so very strange. Let's see,
all right, let's pull up some new ones, because that
was going to be the last one I read on
the last take, but it's looking red again. I don't
know what's going on, ladies and gentlemen, but I'm just
going to go through this and we'll get as far
as we get. Hopefully it'll work out this time. I
met my husband in twenty ten and we ended up
married by twenty eleven. Married, we went to see his
grandfather because he wanted to meet me, and we arrived
and everything was wonderful. The first morning we were there,
I went back to the bedroom to get something and
was walking into the kitchen when I saw a woman
sitting in a chair, smiling, but never spoke a single word.
I just shook it off because this happened so much
that I've become accustomed to it. But as I described
the woman to my husband and everyone around me, his
granddaughter got up and walked into the bedroom. He returned,
or his grandfather actually got up and walked to the bedroom.
He returned with a picture of the very same woman
I had seen that morning and asked if this was
a woman I saw, I said, yeah, and how did
he get the picture of her? And he responded that
that was his late wife when she was younger. I
had just described her down to the very last detail,
and what we configure is that she wanted to meet
me as well and make sure her grandson was going
to be taken care of, and I was true in
my intentions for him. I've had many experiences like this,
and some are nice and others, on the other hand,
are really not very nice, and those I find harder
to remove from my life. They drain me of all
the energy I have and replace it with such despair
and anger. I find it a gift, while others find
it a curse. But it is what it is, and
I just continue on with my life. And there are places,
like some grave sites, that I refuse to go, especially
if they are very old, for the simple reason. Too
many spirits can attach to me and refuse to leave
until I get until they get what they want, and
I'm sure it'll happen many more times before or after
I leave this world. Yeah, I guess that's a tough one.
But being a sensitive which clearly this person is, I
think they got to really work on their shielding and
learn how to protect themselves. You know that can be.
You can't live your life as a as a source
for everything else. You've got to live your life for
yourself as well. Wow, Okay, I just ended up reading
that one, So let's read this one and this will
be the third one. Oh maybe one more. This one's
pretty short. The house my dad and we live in
has been there since the late nineteen twenties, and it's
a beautiful house. It's in the middle of the woods
with a really big, huge pond. And one weekend I
went to my dad's and he told me a story
that had happened the day before. He was upstairs on
the computer at home alone, and the dog started to
bark at the door, and my dad looked out the
window and no one was coming up the road. And
Dad went downstairs and the dog was still barking at
the door, and he looked out, but no one was
there to bark at. He went back upstairs to continue
playing his game. So he's playing a computer game and
then he heard heavy footsteps going up the stairs. He
turned and no one is there. He jumped out of
his chair, looked around, but there was nobody in sight.
I was freaked out by the story. But that next
weekend I had a friend over and told the told
them that the house was haunted, and my friend didn't
believe me. And we watched the Texas chainsaw massacre that night,
so we were already scared, and I said, let's go
to bed. And then we heard the faucet outside turning on,
in the water running. We looked out the window, but
nobody was there. It did it again and again. Then
the pool balls upstairs were rolling, as if someone was
playing pool. We went up there, but no one was
up there, and she said, okay, I believe you.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: That next morning the pictures and paintings in frames were
turned sideways. We ended up moving from that house. Yeah,
that's a lot of activity. That's a whole lot of
things going on, and I guess somebody wanted to be
noticed in a big way. Maybe I'll read one more.
I'm not really encouraged by the performance of the streams tonight,
but we'll keep going. We'll see what happens. And besides,
it's just hard to say good night. So all right,
so let's see. I don't know i'd have to read
that one before, so I'll pick this one, and that
one's a good size. It's a good one to end
the show with, I think. I hope it's a good story.
But a few years ago I lived in a fairly
large house in a town called Darroche. And this is
coming out of Canada. So at the time I was
living with my mom and stepdad, stepbrother and our family cat.
And from the day I moved in, I wouldn't be
able to fall asleep. I would always feel like someone
was there in my room with me, just watching me.
My cat was also acting really strangely, and it was
almost like she was watching someone move around my bedroom.
Her eyes would go from one side of the room
to another side of the room, and then she'd me
owt very loudly during the night. It wasn't just my room,
the whole house had a strange feeling to it. It
was really hard to explain. So one day, when I
was at school, I casually joked about my house being haunted,
and that was when one of my friends told me
that there was a graveyard a couple of blocks away
from my house. I decided to investigate further and asking
some more of my friends if there were known spirits
in the area, and I discovered that there was a
teenage African American boy who was murdered not far from
my house when some other boys tied him to the
railroad tracks. That's horrible. Note I did not verify that
story was real in any way shape perform. It is
just what I was told, and I tried to search
for more clues but didn't find any other stories. Then,
after a few weeks of that, I'd gotten more used
to the feeling of the house and started getting a
few hours of sleep at night. But now I was
almost constantly having nightmares, none of which I can remember.
It was really starting to wear thin on me, and
there was nothing that it seemed I could do about it.
So a few days later, I invited a few friends
over to jump on the trampoline after school, and we
were jumping around, talking and having a good time when
suddenly I heard a shriek from my friend. She pointed
at the basement door, and when I looked over, I
could see what she was screaming about. The door, which
has always closed and locked, was opening and closing all
by itself. We were so freaked we ran inside and
asked my mom if anyone was down there, and she
told us that no one had gone down there all
all day. Since then, I've moved to a different house,
but I still wonder what was there. That's uh, that's
got to be pretty freaky, especially when you're younger. And
I think that about wraps it up for tonight. Ladies
and gentlemen. I love you all. Be good, be kind,
be nice, and I guess I just want to say,
have sweet dreams.
