00:00:10,439 --> 00:00:13,519
Speaker 1: These creepy tales may contain disturbing slash creepy stuff fewer

2
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:18,320
discretion advised siries. What's your true supernatural slash unexplainable down

3
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,760
my creepy story. When I was a kid, my mom

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,800
and grandparents took me to see a play about prisoner

5
00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:24,960
set in an old jail that was now a tourist spot.

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,480
To child me, the actors were too realistic and they

7
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:30,079
started crying and we had to leave. Chatting to my

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,119
mum a few years ago and apparently it wasn't a play.

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,039
We just went to visit the old empty jail slush lost.

10
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:37,000
My roommate and I lived in a one hundred plus

11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,399
year old farmhouse. Many strange things happened there, but there

12
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:43,159
is one story I tell the most. One day, we

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280
were watching TV in the living room on the main floor,

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,200
and suddenly we heard a loud crushed glass breaking and

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,039
felt the floor shaken a seiling above us. We both

16
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,359
ran upstairs and could not find one thing out of place.

17
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:56,799
Slash slash. I don't think it's supernatural, but it was creepy.

18
00:00:57,359 --> 00:00:59,840
My mother died suddenly three years ago, eight days before

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,240
the birth of my son. There's a picture on the

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,200
wall of my house of her, and he knows it's Grandma.

21
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,560
My dad is still in that house, but we have

22
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,920
never visited, partly because I have a mental hand up

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,239
about going back there, and partly because of the logistics

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,439
it's an overnight ferry. Dad visits us often and I

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,400
will go back there soon. Anyway, my son has never

26
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,480
seen the house, and I've never shown him photos of it.

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
He hasn't been to the village, the area, or even

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
the country. I was showing him Google Maps last week,

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,640
and the thing you do with your phone or tablet

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,840
where if you move the device a field, a few

31
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:31,159
moves with you. So I'm showing him our house, his

32
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:33,560
other grandmother's house, his skull, et cetera. And he gets

33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,359
it and as a play. My dad lives in rural Frants,

34
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:38,079
so the Google car hasn't done a pass of his

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,400
street to my knowledge. I decide to check, and it's

36
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,079
just been done, so I drop the pin and open

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,599
it up. The view opens with the house over the street,

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,280
so I start to move it in my boy SHOT's

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,200
grandma's house. A bit taken aback, I asked, how did

40
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:51,719
you know that? Because it was Bittereros. So I asked

41
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:53,319
him to point at the window and say which one

42
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:55,079
is the kitchen? And he puts his finger on it

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400
straight away. Which room does Dady sleep in? Again, the

44
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,000
finger on it straight away? Which one is Grandma? He

45
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,959
points to it and says it was that one slash slush.

46
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:05,519
So I went down the hole to use the bathroom

47
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,200
and I could see the glow from the computer screen

48
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:09,639
dimly lighting up the room. Then it looked like some

49
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,520
one walked in front of it and cast a shadow

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,680
in the wall. I jumped and then started laughing. Geez,

51
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,879
he scared me. I look in and there was no

52
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:18,879
one in the room. I booked it out of there

53
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:21,879
and avoided that bath room for weeks. Slash slush. I

54
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,240
am an outdoorsman. I'm very experienced in hunting, camping, hiking,

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,759
and general survival. I'm very familiar and used to wild life.

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,400
And I was charged by what I believe was a

57
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:32,599
crop to called a dolbment. It charged me and my cousin.

58
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:34,360
It was not a bear, but I cannot move how

59
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,080
it did, and it was not a normal wolf, as

60
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,479
they can't comfortably run on two legs, whereas what charge

61
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:41,439
just see natural are doing. I can elaborate further if

62
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:44,879
you wish. This happened around June or July two thousand seven.

63
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,199
I believe I was around seventeen years old and more

64
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:50,439
cocky then, but still someone knowledgeable of the outdoors. My

65
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,800
family used to own a cabin in a w Wisconsin.

66
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,719
I basically grew up there. In the summer at the

67
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:56,680
woods well, but at night it was wise to stay

68
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,479
in the cabin or at least by the bonfire by

69
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,400
the beach because of bearers, wolves and cougars. One of

70
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:04,479
the creepiest things was if he were having a bonfire,

71
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,639
the tree line was visible from the fire pit and beach,

72
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:08,599
and at night he always felt like he were being

73
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,840
watched from the tree line. But during the day the

74
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,439
woods always seemed normal, not so creepy. That isn't till

75
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,439
this incident. So this happened somewhere between twelve hundred to

76
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:19,680
fourteen hundred. Mea and my cousin were having an asp battle.

77
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:21,879
I was in full woodland comao, he was not. I

78
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,800
retreated on to the ATV trail into the woods for

79
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,840
a tactical advantage, and our battle took us about two

80
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:27,639
hundred meters into about a third of the way up

81
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080
the trail. We had enough at this point and were

82
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,919
standing at the edge of a clearing and the trail

83
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,479
talking and he was maybe ten feet from me. When

84
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,360
I decided to mess with him. I shushed him and

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,800
say it were being watched. He froze. Then I realized

86
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,800
the woods were dead quiet, and I got spooked and

87
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,680
started scanning the tree line in the other edge of

88
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,120
the clearing from left to right. When I saw it,

89
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,240
its teeth gave it away. It was panting and staring

90
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,199
at my cousin. I don't expect you to believe me,

91
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,800
but what I saw was a wolf as big as

92
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,080
a black bear, at least three hundred pounds, but it

93
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:55,479
was normal. This wolf was on two legs, crouching next

94
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,479
a tree with its own grasp in the tree, grasping

95
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,439
with a clawed hand. It had reddish brown furr I

96
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,280
told my cousin that we have to go, and next

97
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,960
thing I know, he is sprinting. And I looked back

98
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,759
at Wolfe, who had locked on and sprinted a few

99
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:07,919
steps on two feet, and then I turned and ran.

100
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,039
When it looked like Wolfy was dropping to all falls,

101
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,639
it charged us and sounded right on our asses barreling

102
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,879
through the brush, but for whatever reason let us go

103
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:16,560
when we broke out of the tree line and headed

104
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,000
for the cabin. What stuck with me the most was

105
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,399
the sheer size. Wolfy appeared to be nearly seven tall

106
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,120
when upright, and that where it should have had front

107
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
paws appeared to have large, cought hands. Now, I'm not

108
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,199
sure how to explain it away. Rationally, I have heard

109
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,360
wolves will occasionally kind of walk upright, but as far

110
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:32,480
as I know, they can't sprint on two legs, nor

111
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:34,800
dew wolves get that bake and black bear's more waddle

112
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000
on tea legs. The closest description is silly or wawell

113
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,120
for dogmen slash slush. My family moved to the standard

114
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,279
up scale suburban home after roughing it for a couple

115
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,639
of years to save up. We also got a deal

116
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,439
on the hum because it was a model hum before

117
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,519
it was ires like at all the fake furniture to

118
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,839
show off the neighborhood homes. Anyways, it hid this loft

119
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:54,879
area with two stairwells that go up to it, one

120
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,120
in the front and one in the back. He could

121
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,160
pretty much hear everything from this loft since it was

122
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,040
so open. One day, my two best friends, guy and

123
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,560
a girl are hanging out in the loft. We were

124
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,439
in h s and they were horny and always all

125
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,560
over each other, whether I was in the room or not.

126
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,079
We were watching TV and I get up to take

127
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:13,360
a piss. When I left, they were all up on

128
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,240
each other. When I came back, they were on different

129
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,639
ends of the couch. I just said they had gotten

130
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:20,959
into a fight. So I asked, what was up. Your

131
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,240
little sister is home, the dude says. My face turned

132
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,920
sheep white. What's wrong, the girl asked. I asked them

133
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,399
what made them think that this d they heard her?

134
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:33,240
I am sort of freaking out at this point. No

135
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,959
one's here, I say. We checked the house and I

136
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,439
am right. Well, it turns out that before it was

137
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:40,399
a model home, a family lived there and a little

138
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:42,279
girl had been playing in the loft but had climbed

139
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,720
in the railing and fell to her death below. My

140
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,959
two best friends swear to this day that they heard

141
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,480
what they thought was my sister a laugh and run

142
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,399
up the stairs, hitting her hands on each step like

143
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,000
she was running up on all fours. I never had

144
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,240
a knee encounters, other than the fact that right next

145
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,319
to where she landed was the house of Central Intercome.

146
00:05:57,879 --> 00:05:59,720
We had an intercom system in every room that you

147
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,879
could play music through or talk to each other. Every

148
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:04,600
so often at night at the same time, you'd wake

149
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,879
up to the intercombaton being pressed and just the blank

150
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,000
sound of static air was like someone was holding down

151
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,439
the button but no one was speaking. My room was

152
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,160
on the third floor, and I'd have to walk down

153
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:14,839
to the bottom to the main unit and turn it

154
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,600
off there. I always thought i'd see her slash slash.

155
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,680
I was maybe five years old and we were visiting

156
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680
my grandparents. I was sleeping in this spare bedroom alone

157
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,120
on this big brass bed. There was a pull out

158
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,879
bed that was usually stored under it, but it was

159
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,040
pulled out and set up for my brother. In the

160
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,959
opposite corner, there was a small closet. In the middle

161
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,199
of the night, I woke up to the sound of

162
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,879
hinges creaking. I thought it might have been the springs

163
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:38,839
in the pull out bed, but my brother was alcohol

164
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:41,279
and not moving. I looked over to the closet and

165
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,000
saw it was slowly cracking open. Then the little man

166
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360
poked his head out. It was a bit too big

167
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:48,920
for his body, with big eyes. I couldn't see him

168
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:50,759
clearly because the room was dark, but I could see

169
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,759
his eyes and then they looked right at me. He

170
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,519
then shuffled forward, and I remembered the sound of that shuffling.

171
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,000
He stopped after a first or two, looked at me again,

172
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,160
crouched down, then shuffled forward a few more. When he

173
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,040
was a couple yards from the bed, he dived under

174
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,279
the rollerwy bed. I heard him moving through the metal

175
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:07,680
and springs, and then felt as he moved under my bed.

176
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,839
Then it was quiet. I couldn't breathe. When I saw

177
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,319
the second little man step out of the closet, he

178
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,480
did the same thing, look at me, move forward, look

179
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,439
at me, dive under the beds. I was frightened and

180
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,160
didn't know if I should try to run or scream.

181
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:23,959
I ended up screaming. When the third man showed up,

182
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:26,519
he rushed back into the closet. Before my mother could

183
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,839
come into the room, she turned on the light, checked

184
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,720
the bed in the closet and found nothing. As an adult,

185
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,000
I knew I must have been hallucinating, dreaming while my

186
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,600
eyes were open. It happened a few more times in

187
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,800
my youth, but with different dreams, but this one stuck

188
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,399
with me. Those little men were marching across the room,

189
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,480
looking at me with their big, dark eyes will never

190
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:46,120
be forgotten. Last year, I was staying in a hotel

191
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,199
with my mom. One of the nights, as I was

192
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,319
laying in bed, I noticed to humans wo wet maybe

193
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,319
two meters away from me. I figured it was just

194
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,560
a shadows, so I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't.

195
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,480
I turned the light on, and obviously it disappeared, but

196
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,360
when I shut off the lights again, it came back.

197
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,279
I tried to convince myself that it was just a shadow,

198
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,079
but trust me when I say there was nothing in

199
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:05,720
that room that could have made a shadow like that.

200
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,519
I looked around the room several times. It also occurred

201
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:11,480
to me that the shadow went there the previous nights

202
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:14,319
and nothing had been moved around. It looked just like

203
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,879
a human silhouette. I never believed in ghosts, but right

204
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,560
then and there, I was terrified. I was too scared

205
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,600
to look at it, so I turned around and eventually

206
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,560
fell asleep. I told my mom about it the next morning,

207
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,360
and she just shrugged it off. She said, I was

208
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:31,439
just imagining things fair enough that shadow went there. The

209
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:34,960
next night or the next A few days after we

210
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,840
had gotten back home, my mom was doing something in

211
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:39,679
the kitchen and I was just sitting there studying without

212
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,919
turning around. My mom said, do you remember the shadow

213
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:44,000
of a person you saw at the hotel? I said, yeah.

214
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,960
My mom just said I saw it too. My blood

215
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,080
turned to fucking eyes. Mom didn't want to admit that

216
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,159
she also saw it. I thought that she was sleeping

217
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:52,399
because she didn't want to freak me out. I'm convinced

218
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,240
that of ghost success I saw one that night. My

219
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,240
mom thinks it was the ghost of her best friend,

220
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,399
who had committed to his I just a few days prior.

221
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:00,559
Ma'am had spent hours earlier that evening writing her a

222
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,840
long letter for some kind of closure. Maybe your best

223
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,200
friend also wanted to say goodbye. When I was about telve,

224
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,320
our family moved into a new house, new to us,

225
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,519
actually quite old. It was in our same village, but

226
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,120
done it differently, and part of it used to be

227
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:13,200
a bundlow. So my room and my sister's room were

228
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,279
on the ground floor, down a long hallway. All of

229
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,000
the ground floor had walnut flowing, and there was a

230
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:18,879
potion rug outside the door to my room to avoid

231
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:21,320
call toss in the morning. Every night, round eleven or so,

232
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,679
I would hear footsteps walking at a fairly slow pace

233
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:25,440
right down the hole from there and get sweet up

234
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,120
pass our rooms and away down the hall to the

235
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,399
living room. I was always in bed when I heard them,

236
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,240
and so was everyone else. You know how you can

237
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,320
tell her family members by the way the walk up

238
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,799
the stairs or open a specific door. I knew it

239
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,039
wasn't anyone in my family. Plus it was the sound

240
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:39,919
of outdoor, she's clocking on the wood and everyone in

241
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,080
my family war slippers. Inside the house, I would hear

242
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,919
a footstep start fairly loud on the wooden floor, way

243
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,039
down the hole, come come up past my sister's room,

244
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:48,960
and then there would be a pause while whatever it

245
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,559
was walked over the rub. You could hear the gap

246
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,080
in the footsteps but three seconds. Then they would start

247
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,559
again on the other side of the rug and fade

248
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,080
out as they walked down the hole away to the

249
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,759
living room. Then they would come back, same footsteps break

250
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:00,960
across the rock was seem on the other side. I

251
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,600
don't remember ever feeling scared, but I never ever went

252
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,360
out to see what it was. I would fall asleep

253
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:06,960
to the sound. It would go on for a really

254
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,159
long time. It stopped about three or four weeks after

255
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,960
we moved in, and I never heard it again. I

256
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120
didn't really think about it much after it stopped, but

257
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:14,919
I've never forgotten it, and as an adult, it makes

258
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,080
me shiver to remember it. Slash slush. I'm home alone

259
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,200
one day. It wasn't dark or spooky or raining or anything.

260
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:20,519
It was the middle of the day and they had

261
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,519
just caughten home from work. Now I shipped with the

262
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,240
door open when I'm home alone since we had a

263
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,080
fuck not. I'm doing my business and browsing readitess per tradition.

264
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,120
When I hear my laundry room door open and slam

265
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,440
closed art It's only two PM and my parents don't

266
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,519
get home from work until at least for my sister

267
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,759
was at skill, but maybe she left early. I yell

268
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:37,399
hello and reach it over and close the door so

269
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,639
that whoever his home doesn't have to see me shoitting.

270
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:41,759
I hear some footste's walk into the living room, then

271
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:44,159
does stop. I yell again, but no response. My dad

272
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:46,080
listens to audiobocus a lot on his phone, so I

273
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,039
figured he walked in with Ibbertson and didn't hear me.

274
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,799
I finished my business up and walk out to see

275
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,399
who was home, and no one was there. I kept

276
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,480
yelling around the house, but there was no answer. I

277
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,039
walked aside and it was just my car in the driveway.

278
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,360
I started to panicle little bit, since my laundry room

279
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:00,559
door was quite heavy and is very loud when it closes,

280
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,759
so there was no way I misheard something. I searched

281
00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:05,480
a whole house, looked outside on the patio, side, yard,

282
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,480
et cetera. Nothing, no one was there. I then got

283
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,399
the sieged feeling of fear and bolted back inside and

284
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,519
just sat and the living room catch waiting for something

285
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,399
to happen. Nothing happened, no nises, no sounds, no doors opening, nothing.

286
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,440
I eventually got up and went back to my room

287
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480
and never heard anything again. It would have scared the

288
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,960
shit out of me and I'd not taken care of

289
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,919
the problem before. And to be honest, I have tons

290
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:24,919
of these and continue to get more stores pretty much

291
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,879
wherever I go, but I have two that stand out.

292
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,080
My siblings and I were on our catch watching TV

293
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,519
while our parents were working. Pretty much what happened there

294
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,120
was a lad slam and when we looked over, all

295
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,440
the hallway doors were slamming shut manmselves one by one

296
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,200
leading up to the room where we were. We would

297
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,240
run outside and back inside to only have the doors

298
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,960
open by themselves and slum backshot three more times. Probably

299
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,799
my elest one I know is that when I was little,

300
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:45,720
I had a room upstairs and would wake up to

301
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,639
the lights flickering on and off, only to look over

302
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,279
at the light switch and have no one be there

303
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:51,039
and go back to sleep. Well, one night, I was

304
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,279
confident to catch my siblings messing with me and race

305
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,120
down there to see the light switch moving by itself

306
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,679
and stop around the time I got there. As I

307
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,480
started to see where they when I saw a black

308
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,279
mass move across the room and knock at the door,

309
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,960
and it was like twelve am. I went to open

310
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,000
the door, not really thinking since I was little, I

311
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,639
have my hand on the door and decided to look

312
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,440
at the window first, only to see a top pitch

313
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,799
black figure standing there. It was nighttime and this looked

314
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,879
like a void. I ran upstairs and legit was stay

315
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:14,000
in my room when the lights would flicker. Over the years,

316
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,639
I would see more and continued to see more and

317
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,759
shadow people as they are called a normal occurrence for

318
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:19,919
me slash sash. We borrowed a van and loaded everything

319
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,759
up for the last trip. Just before we left, they

320
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,639
checked my watch and called my GF that we would

321
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:25,879
be hitting the road scene. My brother checked a kitchen clock,

322
00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:27,720
but only told me later he did we set out

323
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,720
book it and do more than eighty km slash h

324
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:31,519
because of the load. When we took the off ramp

325
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:33,360
of my Niwe City, my brother told me he couldn't

326
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,960
remember the trip. When I thought about it, neither could I.

327
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,320
We both thought we were tired and thought nothing of it. However,

328
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,200
when we arrived at my new house, my GF fast

329
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,039
if I broke the speed limit because we were almost

330
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,440
an ira ally. When retracing the route, my brother would

331
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,159
and above the greed that we can remember passing a

332
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,960
certain gas station and nothing thereafter until the off ramp.

333
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,799
To this day, we have no clue what happened during

334
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,600
that I were missing, or how we could have traveled

335
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,919
that fast, not with any car Ovan at least now

336
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,399
at the beginning I wrote, we both independently checked for time.

337
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,559
This is important for us because one time source could

338
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,600
have been one but not both. Also, I called before

339
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,679
we left, which limits the time we could use to travel.

340
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Since then, we have never experienced any weirdness like it

341
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,440
or otherwise. I don't have any word memories or dreams,

342
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,840
no pieces of metal loss under my skin, et cetera.

343
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,720
Just an Irai lost its last slush. When I was

344
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:14,519
in high skill, my uncle would throw me a couple

345
00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:16,440
bucks to help babysit his kids with my aunt. They

346
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,120
lived in a two story house where the water the

347
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:20,799
kids were above three and six, respectively. One day I

348
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:22,320
was sitting in there den on my friend when I

349
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,240
started to hear a baby crying. Thinking it was a

350
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:25,879
three year old, I had it to the bottom of

351
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:27,480
the stairs to check and see if my aunt was

352
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,960
up there dealing with it if. I called for her

353
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,320
a couple times with no response, the baby kept crying.

354
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,039
I called for her one more time, and when I

355
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:35,240
got no response, I started walking up the stairs. Then

356
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:37,600
I heard my cousins and an playing outside. All the

357
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:39,559
hairs on my body stood up and I literally felt

358
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,240
a children down my spine. I quietly turned around walked

359
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,399
down the stairs, got in my carn and drove away.

360
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,320
The baby was still crying when I closed the door

361
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,279
behind me. A few years later, I was drunk at

362
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:50,120
a family party and told my uncle the store, and

363
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:51,679
he told me that he and his wife used to

364
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,919
hear the baby too, and apparently the previous owners of

365
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,919
the kid die of sits in the room upstairs. He's

366
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,080
uber Catholic and had mass said for the baby. He

367
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:00,320
said after that it never happened again. Still gives me

368
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,840
the woollies when I talk about it, though, slasslot alone

369
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:05,200
during the date. It's a small house. Several minutes walked

370
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,639
to the closest neighbor and more less surrounded by woods.

371
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320
I'd heard something coming down the driveway, like tires crunching

372
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,120
in the gravel, but much slower. Went out in the

373
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,639
potch to investigate and saw an old fashion covered wagon

374
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,759
being pulled down the driveway. For some reason, this filled

375
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:18,399
me with dread, and I ran back inside to lock

376
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,440
all the doors. Once that was done, I walked down

377
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,399
the staircase into the basement, where I knew I could

378
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:23,879
see him from the window, bild into the door. The

379
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,159
wagon stopped moving once I was watching, and the man

380
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,000
climbed down from the seat and stood in front of it.

381
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,600
He was dressed in a black suit with the black

382
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:31,440
top hat, and he was looking right at me through

383
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,679
the window glass. Once he was sure that I saw him,

384
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,240
he walked to the back of the wagon and pulled

385
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:37,159
off the cupboard. There were people hanging from the supports

386
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,399
at the top of the wagon, feet dangling robe around

387
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,159
the next They looked dead, but the man in the

388
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:43,679
top had did something in their heads started inflating. It

389
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,759
got to the point where it looked almost cartoonish. I

390
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600
was bowlsing out, red faces worked. He kept looking at

391
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,480
me while he did it, and I just knew he

392
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:51,960
was going to do the same thing to me. Woke

393
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,840
up absolutely terrified, and to make things a thousand times worse,

394
00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:56,879
the power was out, meaning it took me a ridiculous

395
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:58,639
amount of time to make my way into my parents'

396
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:00,919
room and camp out on their floor. Here's a creepy bit.

397
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,240
I never told anyone about this particular dream because it

398
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,840
was so fucking weird. Maybe two years ago, my family

399
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:08,480
and I got into conversation about the freakist dreams we'd had.

400
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,639
I figure, what the hell it's been ten years, I

401
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,639
can probably bring it up with that type of ventilating.

402
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,759
So I start telling the story, leaving out a lot

403
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:16,559
of details for brevity, sick and when I get to

404
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:18,559
the part about the wagon coming down the driveway, my

405
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:21,360
younger sister gets the weirdest look on her face and says,

406
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,399
was the man wearing a top hat? We quissed each other,

407
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:25,679
and we remembered most of the details in the same way.

408
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:27,559
I can't quite figure out how we both had the

409
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,679
same dream, though, I think I like the explanation might

410
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:31,240
be that one of us told the other about the

411
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,600
dream and then forgot, then the other party just constructed

412
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,759
their own memory of it. But I distinctly remember not

413
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:37,799
telling anyone about it because I thought it was too

414
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,840
weird toshere. I still get freaked out when I think

415
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,320
about it, and to date, that's probably the strangest dream

416
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,360
I've had. Slaslot all Right, So I grew up in

417
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:46,720
a really small town, and recently it's gotten some fame

418
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,240
as being haunted. One of those Discovery ghost shows filmed

419
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,759
an episode here, so people got interested. Now before my

420
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,320
town gained a reputation for having ghosts, One night, my

421
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,000
mom and I were taking a stroll down the main

422
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,080
street at night, which we do a lot in the summer.

423
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,240
I was about fourteen at the time. As we were looking,

424
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
she stops in front of a furniture store. This in

425
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,879
a pretty dan old building. Actually, most of main street

426
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,600
is as closed. We look through the windows, just seeing

427
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,759
the merchandise they have talking. Then I turned to my

428
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:11,360
mom and tell her we need to leave now. She

429
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,759
asks why I say we need to go, she protests again,

430
00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:15,799
since she is enjoying herself. I then tell her that

431
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:17,399
there was something bad in the store. It was a

432
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,720
bad place and we needed to go, so we left.

433
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,600
The thing is, I don't remember having the conversation that all.

434
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:24,759
I don't remember looking in the furniture store. I do

435
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,919
remember going on walks with my mom plenty of times,

436
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,919
but I don't ever remember being creeped out on any

437
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,960
of them. The only reason I know this even happened

438
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:33,080
was because my mom told me this story years later,

439
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,279
asking if I remember doing that. So big deal, right,

440
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,320
fourteen year olds say done stuff all the time. But

441
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,360
here is why it bothers me. My mom is friends

442
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,039
with one of the ladies who works for my town.

443
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,279
I don't know what the position is called. Basically, she

444
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:47,799
organizes town activities and helps out with my town's historical stuff. Anyways, apparently,

445
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,519
for whatever reason, she gave it her of the town

446
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:51,320
to a film crew that had a psychic with them. Now,

447
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,039
I don't know about yold, but I think the whole

448
00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:55,759
psychic message chech is bs. But apparently, once they got

449
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:57,960
to the furniture store, the psycha refused to go inside.

450
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,519
There was a lot of evil that wanted to harm

451
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:01,840
people in there, so they moved onto other buildings. So yet,

452
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,960
when my mom's friend told her that story my mom

453
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,000
told about the time when I was fourteen, they and

454
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,079
pretty much most people in my town believed that the

455
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,119
furniture store, along with a lot of other buildings, are haunted.

456
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,279
But yet, sorry, if that wasn't scary enough, it's the

457
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,119
only thing to happen to me that truly and settles

458
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,240
meat slash slash. My aunt's house is haunted. She moved

459
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,960
though when my cousin was about to She knew it

460
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,759
was haunted instantly, but stayed because the ghosts were not malicious.

461
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,359
My cousin now about thirty crew up there, knowing it

462
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,519
was haunted, as well as my two younger cousins. They

463
00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:28,400
talked about it so Nan stopped like it was just

464
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,720
part of the daily routine. I'm way into speaking stuff.

465
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,720
So here in this time and again at family functions,

466
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:34,880
I asked to spend the night specifically to listen for

467
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,119
the ghosts. Here is exactly what happened at night that

468
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,279
was strange. My cousin, my aunt, and my aunt's friend

469
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,519
are watching Carrie. It's winter time, and all week there

470
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,799
fireplace was not working. My cousin says out loud, when

471
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,359
is this movie going to get scary? Just then the

472
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,680
glass patio door in the kitchen opens. After the movie,

473
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,319
we go to the hot tub because we were cold

474
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,480
after a while, and there we come back inside and

475
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,599
the fireplace's blasting full heat out of it. My aunt

476
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,960
last offers the ghost messing with us. They play pranks

477
00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:59,400
like this a lot, apparently, after everyone is asleep, I'm

478
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,319
on couch and my cousin is on floor next to me.

479
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,960
I hear from the basement footsteps coming up the stairs.

480
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,839
The basement door is visible from where I am laying.

481
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,440
I hear the steps come all the way up the

482
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,720
stairs and stop on the top I'm terrified and expect

483
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:11,799
someone to come out the door, but nothing. A moment

484
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:14,119
passes and the steps go back downstairs. This starts to

485
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,000
repeat up and down the stairs. I wake up my

486
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:19,759
cousin terrified. I say, listen, listen, it's slash Crystal cleared,

487
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:21,680
a person walking up and down the stairs right there.

488
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:24,079
She looks at me and is like, dude, that happens

489
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,559
every night. Go back to sleep. It went on for

490
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,359
about thirty minutes, up and down the stairs. I was mortified.

491
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,119
I have more stairs from my aunt, but that was

492
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240
one of the experiences I had. I have also on

493
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:36,279
other occasions that have seen lights turn on and they

494
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720
often have more footsteps. She thinks its children. They live

495
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:40,960
across the street from a skill that also people report

496
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,319
strange activities slassush. I was invited to a sleep over

497
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:45,000
her at my friend's house when I was nine or

498
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,119
tent was in a crommy, crime ridden part of town,

499
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,480
and I was already apprehensive about the whole. Then turns

500
00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:51,279
out my friend planned for us to sleep in tents

501
00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:53,119
outside in the backyard. We go to sleep and I

502
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,359
unexpectedly wake up in the middle of the night. All

503
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,319
my friends are gone from the tent, freezing cold and

504
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,920
absolutely terrified. I look around the yard and eventually end

505
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,599
to the house. None of the daughs are locked, and

506
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:03,400
for the life of me, I can't find a living soul.

507
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,119
I'm practically all or scared shitless in my pajamas. I

508
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,559
find a phone and call my mom. About fifteen minutes later,

509
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,319
she picks me up and takes me home. Later, I

510
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,200
found out that my friends have moved to a different

511
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,920
tend in the yard without telling me. In my panic

512
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,200
during the night, I thought they had all disappeared. Not

513
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,000
really supernatural, but in the moment, it was the most horrifying,

514
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,680
inexplicable thing I ever had the displeasure to experience in

515
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,440
my childhood. Slaslush. Growing up, my grandparents had the spake

516
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:27,119
Creed German shepherd col Maxed. He was a super sweet dog,

517
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,119
but my grandparents kept him chained up in the yard

518
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,480
and I can't recall anyone ever interacting with him except

519
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,799
us kids. When we stayed at our grandparents, I remember

520
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,559
bringing left of us to Max and leaving them in

521
00:19:35,599 --> 00:19:38,559
his ball. My sister and cousins remember this as well. Eventually,

522
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,160
my family moved a cappele Eyes from my grandparents, and

523
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,000
we saw less and less of maxed. He was an

524
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,960
old dog to begin with, but I recall he started

525
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,480
developing tumors around his neck. Then one day he was gone.

526
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,400
I brought up Max to my dad years later, as

527
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,200
a teenager, wondering what exactly he died of. We had

528
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,640
adopt that had died recently, and his tumors reminded me

529
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,759
of the one Max had. My dad seemed real confused

530
00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:58,440
that I knew who Max was. He said Max had

531
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,640
tired of cancer, but he was my due for a dog,

532
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,839
which I was confused by since he mentioned the Dodd

533
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,640
name Boots when he was a kid. He said the

534
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,920
butt was the dog his parents bought to replace Max,

535
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,960
who died when he was nine. I was sure he

536
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,279
had gotten mixed up or misremembered the dog. Here's where

537
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:13,680
the story gets word. My cousins and my sister all

538
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000
remember this dog. I could swear he was dead by then,

539
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,640
but even my youngest cousins remember Max. Tears. Where it

540
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,720
gets fucking insane. Where Max was chained up was a

541
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,960
concrete platform. When we thought he died, my grandparents put

542
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,240
all shed there, further lending to the confusion. There are

543
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:28,200
pictures of me and my cousins near my age and

544
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,160
the oldest grandchild, but my youngest cousins are twelve years younger,

545
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,119
playing with the shed in the background. The fact that

546
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,200
my cousins remember the dog makes no sense on the

547
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:37,759
bassis alone. It's not the insane part about the shed though.

548
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:40,400
When I was a teenager, probably eighteen on nineteen, I

549
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,279
helped my dad and my uncle's tear down the shed

550
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:44,440
and the concrete platform. Right on the edge was a

551
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:46,920
child's handprint with my dad's name written underneath, and a

552
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,799
bake German shepherd sized puprint underneath the poprint in the

553
00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:52,319
same handwriting was the Nie Max. To this day, nine

554
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:54,079
of us know why all of us remember this dog.

555
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,200
I was born in the late eighties. This dog died

556
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,119
in nineteen sixty ninth las last the year started high skill.

557
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,920
My parents moved us into a new house and the

558
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,400
place was crazy haunted. I have been suffering from insomnia

559
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,440
since I was above fourteen, and often now I would

560
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,640
be up in the middle of the night and here

561
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,200
someone running up and down the hallway. Occasionally the running

562
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,039
would be accompanied by giggling, and the sounds of hands

563
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,240
hitting the hallway walls. If I was at home alone cleaning,

564
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,279
I would frequently hear what sounded like a small child.

565
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:16,920
It should be noted I did to five siblings, but

566
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:19,119
on these occasions I would be home alone, gibling or

567
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,720
talking faintly nearby. My parents' bed room was always cold,

568
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,640
and there would be signs of someone typing on the

569
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,079
computer keyboard when no one was nearby it. Several times

570
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,119
I would come into my room, and since I was

571
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,240
the first one home from skill, I knew my siblings

572
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:32,160
hadn't been in there, and my mom never went in

573
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,200
there except to try to read my journal and find

574
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,039
my stuff. Moved around and played with as in a

575
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,039
porcelain doll my grandmother gave me. You would be in

576
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:40,000
some random spot in the room and there would be

577
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,039
little doll footprints in the carpet, like someone had been

578
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:44,160
playing with the dam thin. I did some digging. Lader

579
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,079
little girl was once murdered in the land that the

580
00:21:46,079 --> 00:21:48,000
home stood on before there was a home there. I

581
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,000
have a ton of stories about the dumb house, if

582
00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:52,079
anyone wants to hear them. Slash slash. I grew up

583
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,920
in the pine barrens. I love living in the woods

584
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,079
and South Jersey is just about no predators, so I

585
00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:58,000
never felt in safe walking around the neighborhood a two

586
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,799
am or so. Well, one night when I was nineteen,

587
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,440
ala my friend's place about two third minutes three thirty am,

588
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:04,319
walking home, and I hear the most and oddly sound

589
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,079
I have ever heard in their life. In the split

590
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,359
second your mind tries to rationalize. First I thought it

591
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,240
was a cat being run over. Then by six seconds

592
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,200
although it was a woman screaming that it sounded like

593
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,079
a raw slush shriek. This is all in the second

594
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:15,400
and a half. It takes me to take in the

595
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,680
whole sound. Now, let me be clear, I have loved

596
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,960
in those words all my life. I know what foxes sound,

597
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,240
what's gung's fighting sound like? It was like nothing I

598
00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:24,200
have ever heard. I have never felt primal feel like

599
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,279
I did after hearing the sound. I ran harder and

600
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,039
faster than I ever had in my life. When I

601
00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:30,000
got to the front door, I was already mentally prepared

602
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,839
to smash the small glass pane in order to open

603
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:33,599
the door if my sister had locked it. She didn't,

604
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,559
and there was nothing interesting after the point. A few

605
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,000
other weird things happened around the same time spam, but

606
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:40,000
nothing like that slash sash. I lost a lot of

607
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,480
time once. It's one of a few very creepy things

608
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,359
to happen to me, But this one really got to

609
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,839
me still does. It only happened a few months ago.

610
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,480
I went for a wap with my mother on a

611
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,079
local path around the fairly large hill, a regular pastime

612
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,920
of iOS. We walked the two miles from the cart

613
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,119
to the hill before beginning. I and to reach the loop,

614
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,880
which is only about half a mile and cuckle in

615
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,680
the peak. Were from the area and have always known

616
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,720
that people have become wildly lost up here, even though

617
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,319
the path is the only one around the hill. That's

618
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,839
sort of very specific knowledge. If you go ten miles away,

619
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:06,680
no one will know about it. We had been dozens

620
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,920
of times before, with the doves usually, but today it

621
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,759
was just my mom and I. We had never been

622
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:12,759
lost before, so we've been walking for I don't know

623
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:14,559
how long when I noticed something out The sun was

624
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:16,039
in the same place to us as it had been

625
00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:18,400
for however long we've been walking on a circular path.

626
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:20,319
It should have appeared to move as we changed direction.

627
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,200
We should also have been reaching a point where you

628
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,480
headed down the hill, but our path was completely level.

629
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,319
I was thought to use the sun and other natural

630
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,200
signs to navigate, as I spend a lot of time

631
00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:30,559
just my wandering, whether on houseback or on foot. I

632
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:32,480
realized that I had no recollection of that part of

633
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:35,000
the path and had been walking along in silence far Well,

634
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,279
here's the word bit ut came my phone and assured

635
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:39,839
me the time fourteen thirty seven. I had absolutely no signal,

636
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:41,759
even though it's usually spot on up there. We had

637
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:43,319
set off at eleven in the morning, and all the

638
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,640
hairs on my body stood up. This what a short walk,

639
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,519
and I owned half ut most from leaving the car

640
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:49,000
to getting back to it. The sun should have been

641
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:50,799
above us, but it was set off at where I

642
00:23:50,839 --> 00:23:52,640
would have set three o'clock for the time of year.

643
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,519
I remember the time because when I turned to ask

644
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,559
my mum what time she had, she looked straight through

645
00:23:56,559 --> 00:23:58,200
me like it wasn't it, and remained like that for

646
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,160
a whole three minutes. She was just staring enough to

647
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,880
the space where I had been to her left that

648
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,599
fourteen forty She suddenly came to life. I didn't move away,

649
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:06,680
too nervous to remain under her gaze like that. After

650
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,960
about a minute of saying, Mum unaging her rigid shoulder

651
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,160
in a building child like panic. I was twenty. I

652
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,079
was sat down and looked just off the path, getting

653
00:24:13,079 --> 00:24:15,400
pretty bloody freaked out. Mum danced around and said, in

654
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,759
a hollow, weird voice. I think the fares might have asked,

655
00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:20,200
we need to keep walking. I scrambled up with fell

656
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:22,559
and to match her determined stride on this unfamiliar path.

657
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,200
Why ferris, mom? Why say that? I was raised to

658
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,200
see them as little cute, to see people with wings.

659
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,599
You see to me they are strayed out of nightmares,

660
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,599
because my mother's upbringing said that's what they are. Have

661
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,640
to confuse and trick. What time does your watch? Say mom?

662
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:37,759
She always wears a battery operated analog watch, and she

663
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:40,039
lifted her wrists corder to three. She put her wrist

664
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,359
down and lifted it again to check. That's not right,

665
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,839
is it? I just shook my head, all right, keep walking,

666
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,880
So we did. We trudged on through this and familiar

667
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,640
wooding for what I would have said, felt like at

668
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,839
must have an hour. It never turned a corner or

669
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,440
changed eelevasion. I knew we were in bothered when my Stellwart,

670
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,920
never frightened of anything other, began to get nervous. So

671
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,559
in response to her nerves, she becomes pissed off. She

672
00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:01,359
steeled herself, lifted this proud all seeing Jetsy as to

673
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,079
the creepy atmosphere, and spoke as she would to a

674
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,839
looking person who's coming with us? Put us back. There

675
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,599
was what I can only describe as a burst of

676
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:10,559
deep laughter from the path behind us, and we spun

677
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,160
around to face it. We were at the top of

678
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,559
the hill that lead to the gate out of there.

679
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:15,519
It said the fork where you can go left or right,

680
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,079
neither of which I remember choosing, even though we always

681
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:20,000
make a discussion of it. We made out way down

682
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,920
the slope and out of the wits as calmly as possible,

683
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,799
and got back to the car, which was parked next

684
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:25,799
to an ancient church and cemetery. The time in the

685
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:28,079
car seventeen twelve. We should have got back to the

686
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:29,880
car no later and maybe caught it to one if

687
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,039
the walk had can normally, or just after four when

688
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,119
our watch and phone said we were approaching free we

689
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,480
lost nearly five alos. I've had a lot of creepy

690
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,319
things happen to me, but this is about one of

691
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:40,319
the worst. I wasn't alone, it was the middle of

692
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:42,200
the day on a usually familiar path. Where did the

693
00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:45,119
zios go? Where was that path? So many unanswerable questions.

694
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,119
I even went up her alone once to see if

695
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,720
I could experience it again, but nothing happened. Slash slash

696
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,039
growing at our house was very haunted, and even though

697
00:25:52,079 --> 00:25:54,480
it's not as active today, I still get creeps sometimes

698
00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:56,640
when I go home to visit. A few years before

699
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,680
I was born, my great grandmother died in what would

700
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,960
become my bedroom hose sitting slush TV room, and my

701
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:03,079
parents and I both remember walking into the room and

702
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,240
very clearly smelling rose scented perfume, like somebody a dumped

703
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,359
bottle of it in the carpet. According to my parents,

704
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,440
it was the same kind she wore almost daily up

705
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:12,759
until she died. I've seen apparitions in that house as

706
00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:15,400
a child slash teenager. My grandfather died when my mom

707
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,519
was three, so I'd never met the man, but I

708
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:19,480
remember being in the kitchen one day and seeing a

709
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,359
man in a brand suit with a skinny black tie

710
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,400
stand in the entryway and look at me. Then Vanish

711
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:26,799
I recognized him immediately from family photos. It was my grandfather.

712
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:28,720
I've seen blue light slash obs during the day in

713
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:32,119
different rooms, felt cold spots, been touched by invisible hands,

714
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,359
hard footsteps when I was home alone, and even at

715
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,160
draw slash cups opened spontaneously in front of me. Nothing

716
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,240
was every scary puss, but a lot happened that was

717
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:42,079
certainly unnerving. Over the years, I've lived in two houses

718
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,440
that were almost certainly haunted. Incidant that scared me. The

719
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,119
most happened in the house I lived in just a

720
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,960
few years ago. I had grown up in a house

721
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,839
that was renowned for activity, and the thought of ghosts

722
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:52,359
doesn't really scare me. After all, they are only people

723
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:54,680
right to this house at a history of strange occurrences,

724
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,519
lights that turned off and unboud themselves, footsteps and voices

725
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:00,000
that couldn't be explained, extremely rural and no neighbors clos

726
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,400
buying sounds from the basement, and most disconcertainly, the sensation

727
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,920
of being poked, either during the night while sleeping or

728
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,559
whenever you were in the basement. But all of that

729
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,599
seemed benign, so whatever I was interested in communicating with

730
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,480
whatever was there, and had gathered a couple of interesting

731
00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:14,839
EVP I really wanted to set up a video camera,

732
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,279
but didn't have the money to invest. Instead, I got

733
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:19,519
a digital voice recorder and reasoned that I would record

734
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:21,559
the activity on it until I could afford what I wanted.

735
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,799
I decided to set it up to record overnight. Now,

736
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,799
there are two things that are important to the story.

737
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:27,799
Bear with me. This is important to the first is

738
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:29,519
that this house was built as a one room house

739
00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,000
originally over the year as they added a kitchen, bedroom

740
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:34,559
and full bathroom, laundry room, and then in addition containing

741
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:36,839
a second bedroom half bath in new kitchen, the old

742
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,039
kitchen became a formal dining room. The point being that

743
00:27:39,079 --> 00:27:40,920
the house was built up hazardly and sound does not

744
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,920
carry from one end to the other. The second point

745
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,440
is that I have an alarm clock with a build

746
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,599
and spars sound machine that I used on the rain feature,

747
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,400
and since I'm a little hard of hearing, the rain

748
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,000
is always cramped up to maximum volume. So I tucked

749
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
my elderly dog into a kernel at night and set

750
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,400
up the recorder just between the dining room and laundry room,

751
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,480
I see as far across the house from our bedroom

752
00:27:57,519 --> 00:27:59,400
as possible. I took the two younger dobs and cat

753
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,119
into the bedroom with my husband and I, and we

754
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,000
went to bed. The next day, I began to listen

755
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,119
to every minute of the recording, hoping there would be

756
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,359
some form of communication. It took a couple of days.

757
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,480
The recording starts with lout cluttering as I place it

758
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:11,519
on the table. Then I can be heard walking away

759
00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:13,759
and from the laundry room, telling my dog good night,

760
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:16,319
butnit her. Then I pass by again and can be

761
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,519
heard moving away. My husband and I can be heard,

762
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,519
but not well enough to tell what we're saying, talking

763
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:22,119
for a couple of minutes, then the sound of the

764
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,839
rain machine, sounding like a waterfall. After a few seconds,

765
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,359
the sound becomes a muted, roaring sound as we shut

766
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,880
our bedroom door. The time stamp showed around ten fifteen

767
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,640
p m. And then there is nothing but the muted

768
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,480
sound of the rain until about two A and then

769
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,559
you hear the sounds of the dog nails clicking on

770
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:37,640
the hard four of her kennel's sounds like a scratching

771
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,400
against the floor. Whimpering, panting, more clicking. This goes on

772
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,240
for about five minutes. Then her whimpering grows more distressed.

773
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:46,079
Her panting becomes panicked, as if she is hayperventilating. Then

774
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:48,559
she stops. It's quiet for a moment, then a small bark.

775
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,839
It's a sound I recognize because she does it every

776
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:52,920
morning as I walk through the kitchen to make the coffee.

777
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,480
It's her, hey, r up, let me out bark. I

778
00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:57,559
check the time stamp two eighteen am. And then I

779
00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:00,200
hear it in a stage whisper frighteningly closed to the record,

780
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,680
Benita the dog Yopsen begins to scream and almost drowns

781
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,400
out the giggle. The giggle is the same voice that

782
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,240
whispered my dog's name my voice. I'm waiting for husband

783
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:10,400
when he gets home. I played a recording for him.

784
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,119
He shrugs. So you fussed at the dog. I didn't

785
00:29:13,119 --> 00:29:15,640
get up that night, Okay, well you know you sleep ork,

786
00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:19,920
That's all it was. I shook my head. No, listen

787
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,640
to it from the beginning. The bedroom door never opens.

788
00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:25,480
My husband took the recorder down into the basement. I

789
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:27,559
assumed that he listened to the whole thing. From the beginning,

790
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:29,720
there was more after the first whisper, the dog's name

791
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,319
as whisper shouted several more times. Each time the dog

792
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:35,000
would panic in the voice would giggle. After about twenty minutes,

793
00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:37,480
it stopped, and the dog eventually quieted, and I assume

794
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,200
went back to sleep. I listened to the table all

795
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,240
the way through, just to be sure, and no time

796
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,880
can you hear a change in the muted sound of

797
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,599
the rain machine until we get up at six a m.

798
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,000
Which means that our bedroom door never opened, which means

799
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,160
that whatever was on the recording was not me, but

800
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:51,319
was pretending to be. I got rid of the recorder.

801
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,319
I didn't want to ever hear it again. It scared

802
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,319
me worse than anything else hid at the point, I

803
00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:57,559
never tried to record anything else in it has I

804
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,160
pretended that it never happened, and I never heard anything else.

805
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,599
It sounded like me slaslash. When I was little, round

806
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,839
three years old, I would have dreams of another little

807
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:06,720
girl to live on my bookshelf. She had short hair

808
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:08,799
pulled aside with the porette. She wore a simple dress

809
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:10,799
and shoes with buckles on them. She always appeared as

810
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:12,960
a yellow translucent person. We were friends, and I would

811
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,519
sit on the floor and she would sit on the

812
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:16,519
top of the bookshelf and look done at me. We

813
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:18,799
always had fun, but when she got mad she cooked

814
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:20,799
at me. That would tickle, Like being tickled badly by

815
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:22,720
a friend whom you wanted to stop. I would yell

816
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,039
at her and run away. Fast forward twenty years while

817
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:27,079
on vacation with my parents, we were talking about old

818
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,240
dreams and memories. When the tickle girl was brought up.

819
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:31,559
I reminisce about the dreams with her, and my parents'

820
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:34,079
faces went funny. When I asked what was wrong, they said, honey,

821
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:36,720
those weren't dreams. He used to sit and talk to

822
00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:39,359
Buksheff all the time. We would hear you laughing in

823
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,839
the other room. Other times we would hear you get

824
00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:43,640
so mad that you would yell, but you were the

825
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,400
only one in the room. Gives me chills to this day.

826
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,920
Slas slush. When I was about seven or eight, I

827
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
used to have sleep over at my grandma's a lot.

828
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,400
My aunties are only a few years old than me,

829
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,240
sowed it worked out great anyway. One of the times

830
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,680
I was in bed, and it was about three in

831
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,400
the morning and both my aunties were asleep, so I

832
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,200
rolled over to look at their toy horses, and I

833
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,559
swear to God, they were moving. I could see their

834
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:08,240
black silhouette galloping across the desk. So, doing the logical thing,

835
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,839
I went back to sleep, ignoring thinking it was my imagination.

836
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,559
Then about a year ago, my aunt described the exact

837
00:31:13,559 --> 00:31:16,319
same thing happened to her. Turns out many people have

838
00:31:16,359 --> 00:31:19,960
had weird experiences with this house. Examples include an x

839
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,880
of my uncle seeing a strange man in the corner

840
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,480
of the room and at the bottom of the stairs,

841
00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:26,079
TV randomly turning on and off, things being moved. The

842
00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:28,119
warder door would get randomly stopped to a point where

843
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,880
a full grown man could and open it, and then

844
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,559
swing open for no reason. New bubs randomly bursting that

845
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,960
is likely an electrical issue, shadows in the room when

846
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,720
curtains are closed and no one is making them. Also,

847
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,279
random banging and footsteps is a common noise in the house,

848
00:31:40,319 --> 00:31:43,039
even if no one is upstairs. Not next door is.

849
00:31:43,079 --> 00:31:44,839
She is a frail old woman who can barely get

850
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,920
up the stairs in the footsteps are like heavy man's footsteps, slash, slush.

851
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,559
My dad and by extension, our family was tormented by

852
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:54,680
gost slash, demon slash, whatever you want to call it. First,

853
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,000
a little back story story. I was young at the

854
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:00,720
time and remember very little of the actual super natural stuff,

855
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:02,559
but my dad has recounted the events of it to me.

856
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:05,279
Before it started, when my dad was trying to get

857
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:07,759
his life together. My dad had done a lot of

858
00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:09,960
things in his past drug wise, and had been around

859
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,759
about crowd, but he had left them and wanted to

860
00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:14,680
be good dad to his kids. He didn't quit cold turkey,

861
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,519
so he still drank and was usually out of the

862
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:19,319
house drinking. On one occasion, he was out drinking and

863
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,319
he tells me that he vividly remembers seeing a black

864
00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:23,359
smoke come out of his can, slowly rose until it

865
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,640
had taken a devilish form, and had cackled and laugh

866
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,119
saying that he was going to die. When my dad

867
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,319
dropped thek and the apparition disappeared, he was terrified and

868
00:32:31,359 --> 00:32:34,240
decided to go home, thinking he was drunk. This wouldn't

869
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,359
be the last time something like this would happen. However,

870
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:39,839
thusforward some time later, I don't remember how much time

871
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,920
he told me have passed. My dad was watching over

872
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,599
me and my brothers one night while my mom was

873
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,599
away on some errand at that point, my dad drunk less.

874
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,000
He was working more on We had a relatively okay life.

875
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,440
My dad was making sure that me and my brothers

876
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,039
were taking our baths before getting ready for bed. I

877
00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:56,119
could do this myself, so my dad focused more on

878
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,279
my brothers. I remember watching TV when my dad came

879
00:32:59,359 --> 00:33:01,279
running through the life moving room in boxes and a

880
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,240
white shirt. I'm running outside. What happened was that my

881
00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:06,440
dad was in my brother's bedroom and had just finished

882
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,599
drying them off when the room had started to go black.

883
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,319
He saw smoke filled the room that eventually turned into

884
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:14,440
black nothingness. He felt weird and noticed that the skin

885
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,920
on his arms began to move. He looked at his

886
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,000
arms and it looked like there was something under his skin,

887
00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:21,839
moving and crawling in every direction. Then he heard a

888
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,920
voice that started out as a whisper that told him

889
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,319
in a taunting slash, menacing for scratch your arms. He

890
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,319
then fell to force grab him from behind, making it

891
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:30,839
unable for him to run. Two to him. Having hung

892
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,519
out with the tough crowd, he began to coss at

893
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:34,640
it and call whatever it was a coward, eventually breaking

894
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,759
free and proceeding to run outside and get the neighbor

895
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:39,559
to help him. Only after escaping did he realize the

896
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:41,559
implications of what had happened and the fact that we

897
00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:44,319
were still inside. At that time, my mom was back

898
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:46,039
from her errand and they both went and to find

899
00:33:46,039 --> 00:33:48,559
a soquet in the room. Back to normal. Over the

900
00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:50,799
course of months, the dark smoke would continue to creep

901
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,640
up on my dad wherever and whenever it could. It

902
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,839
was a stressful time for us. I personally only witnessed

903
00:33:56,839 --> 00:33:59,160
the odd side effects of what my dad was going through,

904
00:33:59,319 --> 00:34:01,519
but it all stopped when we looked for help. My

905
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,720
dad has more things he experienced as a kid, and

906
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,480
there's a bit more to the story, but they are

907
00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:06,960
just details. And this is the mean thing that I

908
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:10,599
always remember. I live in Maine, What does this mean?

909
00:34:11,119 --> 00:34:13,360
It's very common to see lobs to men and very

910
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,840
rare to see anybody on your property. Also call plus now. Anyway,

911
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,320
I was over at a friend's house participating in a party,

912
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,159
and a bunch of us guys were going to sleep over.

913
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,320
I know, unimaginable, right, sounds like the plot to a

914
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,239
cheap horror movie. We had just gone to bed at

915
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,199
three thirty in the morning on his pull up couch

916
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:32,400
in the living room. I had just started going to

917
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,360
sleep when I noticed a figure standing on the other

918
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,039
side of the door, standing on the porch. I think

919
00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:39,519
nothing of it, probably a weird shadow from the trees.

920
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:42,320
Of course, there is a winter storm going on outside,

921
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,199
so the wind is blowing hard. That's when I noticed

922
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,639
that this particular shadow isn't moving with the tree shadow.

923
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,440
It's still standing in the door, staring through the window

924
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,519
at us. This is when I call it up to

925
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:54,920
the others, who were kind of not really asleep. We

926
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,000
are so freak at that when grabs a be becone.

927
00:34:57,079 --> 00:34:59,079
The other grabs a baseball bat and a grab a

928
00:34:59,079 --> 00:35:01,719
fucking hand held spot light. There was four of us,

929
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,599
but the host had fallen asleep. I shined the spotlight

930
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,199
through the door and there is nothing there. We once

931
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,559
again reached the conclusion that it could be a weird shadow.

932
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:12,280
That is when we start to notice the little details.

933
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:14,960
Staring at this figure, they looked like they had just

934
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:17,599
come off a lobster, but in a heavy rainstorm. They

935
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:19,480
had the lobs to hat and the weird little way

936
00:35:19,519 --> 00:35:21,400
the jacket felt told us that it was someone dress

937
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,599
up like a lobsterman, like I said earlier, extremely common.

938
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:26,800
The part that was freaky was the way the hat

939
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,239
kind of sag down around the head, almost unnaturally mean

940
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,599
when I say that a hat is over when it

941
00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:34,599
SAgs like that. At this point, we're thinking it's Sunday

942
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:37,519
playing a prank on us. So, being the main boys

943
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:39,440
we were, we decided to beat the ever living shit

944
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,760
out of this person. I shine the light to blind

945
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,400
them as the other too advance. They reached a door

946
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,639
and realized there isn't anyone around the door, so we

947
00:35:46,679 --> 00:35:48,920
once again conclude that it was a shadow from a tree.

948
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,079
They decide to go back to bed. I'm not entirely

949
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:54,239
convinced and watch that damn thing until five a m.

950
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,280
When it just furnishes into thin air. After the light

951
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,320
came up. My foolish is thinking that I'm safe and

952
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,480
I fall asleep. I wake up to you and a

953
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,679
half hours later to see the host mother struggling with

954
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,440
the trash. Being a good kid I was, I offered

955
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,119
to take it out for her because no one was up.

956
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:10,400
As I opened the door to go outside. That is

957
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,320
when I see footprints in the snow facing the door.

958
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,559
I could see the footprints start at the edge of

959
00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:17,039
the porch, up the stairs and stand right at the door.

960
00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:19,239
The footprints then look kind of like the person was

961
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,440
pivoting on their right foot to get behind a water escape,

962
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,039
being seen a couple of times. They then lead up

963
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:25,440
to the other edge of the porch with about a

964
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,480
fifteen foot drop and disappear. There is nothing on the

965
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,159
other side of the edge, and nothing in the couple

966
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,159
feet of snow below. And while yes, I did at

967
00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:35,079
first think snowver of Scott caught on ice to make

968
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,280
the footprints, I then realized that there were clear boot

969
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,039
prints with tread and all. The scary part is that

970
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:42,480
the tread matches rain boots which go with a hat

971
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,440
and jacket. This was one of my most fearful moments ever.

972
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,480
It still makes me shiver just typing about it. The

973
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:50,880
worst part about this story is people don't really believe me.

974
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,079
But when you live in Maine, weird haunty stuff happens

975
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:56,119
all the time. I live in a town where the

976
00:36:56,119 --> 00:36:58,280
founder was cursed by a witch. Duff are forever dancing

977
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,199
on his gray and taps thinks there are good in

978
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,519
the fort across the river. Supernatural stuff is kind of normal.

979
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:06,360
Would this freaked me out? When I was little, I

980
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,760
used to exceedingly paranoid, to the point where I would

981
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,280
bathe with the door open. I personally blame it on

982
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,719
my brother, who loved to freak me out. He would

983
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,559
constantly bullshit ten year old me with stores about dreaming

984
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:18,920
of people at the window looking in. I know now

985
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,440
that most of this was fake, but at the time

986
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:23,320
I did, I was bathing with the door open, per usual,

987
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,239
soaking up the warmth around me and enjoying myself. What

988
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,320
happened next, I don't expect the majority of you to

989
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,880
believe maybe I was getting tired of something. But as

990
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,719
I looked out into the hallway that my bathroom lead

991
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,320
out into a shit, ye not. I saw grace and

992
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,679
white figure hobble pass the door. Naturally. I started trying,

993
00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:39,400
and when my parents called up to see what was wrong,

994
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:41,199
I told them what happened and that I was leaving

995
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,960
until one of them got me. Cut to five years later,

996
00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:47,480
I'm living a normal life. Nothing weird has happened since then,

997
00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:50,119
save for the onset of some very mild clinical depression.

998
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:52,920
I'm staying at my friends Summahum in Palm Springs for

999
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,679
a night. I dozed a surprisingly quick for sleeping on

1000
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,719
a fruit on and that's when I have that dream.

1001
00:37:58,199 --> 00:37:59,920
I wake up in my own bed at home, except

1002
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:02,719
everything is off. The only way I can describe it

1003
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,719
is the dark blue light filling the room, having its

1004
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,199
own viscosity. It's like it was coating the room as

1005
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:10,639
a post to filly it. Then things get weird. I

1006
00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:12,440
see from the whole way that my room is connected.

1007
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,639
A grayish figure hobble into my room. Lanky or gangly

1008
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:18,519
doesn't even begin to describe this thing. It looked like

1009
00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:20,599
someone with the build of a basketball player had been

1010
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:23,800
starved to death, brought back and starved again. I couldn't

1011
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,840
see its face from where I was, and frankly I

1012
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,719
didn't want to. It waddled its way over to my bookshelf,

1013
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,960
opposite of where I was facing, and just sorta crawled

1014
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,119
up it and gone there. It looked down at me

1015
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:34,920
and asked me, with a voice that sounded more like

1016
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,079
it was coming from across a street then across a room,

1017
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,079
what are you doing? The voice was concerned, and at

1018
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,199
the time I didn't think about responding. I'm used to

1019
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,599
just view my dreams as opposed to taking part in them.

1020
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,119
For some reason, I didn't feel scared, and it proceeded

1021
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:48,719
to tell me its job was to watch me. I

1022
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,880
opened my eyes and saw it was about four a m.

1023
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:52,960
I was relieved to be back in my friend's bed

1024
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,519
and clung to the pillar because it was nice to

1025
00:38:54,559 --> 00:38:57,519
feel somethings off in my arms. After that, only now

1026
00:38:57,559 --> 00:38:59,519
have I connected the possibility that the thing was the

1027
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:01,320
same as the one I saw when I was little.

1028
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,079
It doesn't end there. I'm not a very superstitious person,

1029
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,519
so I'm sure you all can understand how confused and

1030
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:09,800
worried I was by this. I had a chat with

1031
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,880
one of my friends who was more educated and nickulled

1032
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,280
about it, and they couldn't give me an answer, but

1033
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,440
did offer to perform a banishment ritual, which I politely refused.

1034
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,039
A few days later, I was drifting off to sleep

1035
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:21,960
when I heard what I can only describe as either

1036
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,559
trilling or really weird laughter think turkey noises. I immediately

1037
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:28,559
recognized the far off voice, but again did nothing. I

1038
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:31,039
felt myself being grabbed by the upper arms and lifted

1039
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:33,800
up but being dropped onto my bed. I then felt

1040
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,559
it happen again, but this time I was dropped on

1041
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:38,000
to the floor. I assumed I was dreaming and went

1042
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:40,719
back to sleep. I woke up the next morning next

1043
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,320
to my bed in the hardwood. I hadn't sleep walked

1044
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,599
in about three years, but assumed it was that. I

1045
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:48,559
went into the restroom to freshen up for the day

1046
00:39:48,599 --> 00:39:51,159
and found red marks around my shoulder areas where I

1047
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:54,159
remembered being picked up by I don't claim this story

1048
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:56,880
to be one hundred percent proof. Costs real all. This

1049
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,519
could easily be me just having some strange dreams, but

1050
00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:02,840
they didn't it any less scary to go through slash slush.

1051
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,559
I work at a hotel, and while I've seen a

1052
00:40:04,559 --> 00:40:06,440
lot of weird, creepy stuff here, the first thing I

1053
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,079
saw will always stick with me. It was three thirty

1054
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:11,880
a m. Being the night auditor, part of my duties

1055
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,079
is setting up the coffee bar for early departures, so

1056
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:16,599
that the days started on the right foot. The coffee

1057
00:40:16,599 --> 00:40:18,320
bar is to the right of the desk, and about

1058
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,440
fifty feet from the coffee bar is the breakfast buffet

1059
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,880
and the kitchen it's so early that neither of these

1060
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,280
a staff right now, and it's totally dark over there.

1061
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,559
First thing I tend to do is go in the

1062
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:29,719
cabinet's under the breakfast buffet to get the tea box

1063
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,719
for the coffee bar. The buffet directly faces the kitchen,

1064
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,599
so the kitchen stuff can stalk it faster and Greek guests.

1065
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,119
So there I am checking these cabinets when I noticed

1066
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:41,400
something out of the corner of my eye. I look

1067
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,599
up into the kitchen and I stop in my tracks.

1068
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,760
There's someone back there in the dark watching me. He's

1069
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,719
got to be six and a half feet tall, wearing

1070
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,519
a heavy olive coat. His torso is dimly lit in

1071
00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:54,119
the doorway of the employee hallway. He's staring at me

1072
00:40:54,159 --> 00:40:56,719
as I'm staring at him, and then he lifted both

1073
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,639
his legs at the knees and floated out the door.

1074
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:01,480
It didn't click that I could be looking at a ghost.

1075
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,880
I took off to run to search the employee areas

1076
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,480
for this mischievous guest. I've dealt with a lot of

1077
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,280
shit like this, and I'm not going to tolerate it

1078
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,760
to night. I'm going to find this fucker and boot

1079
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,679
his ass to the cobe, except I never find anything,

1080
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,719
no one, nothing. It takes me several long minutes to

1081
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,119
admit that it could be a ghost. When it finally

1082
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:22,360
clicked with me, I realized how many other weird things

1083
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,400
I've seen and heard here. Disembodied voices, slamming on the

1084
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,480
back door when no one's there, footsteps on the fifth floor.

1085
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,519
Since then, I've also seen two other ghosts rite here

1086
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:34,800
in the lobby. And what I've found is that it

1087
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,599
never feels scary at the time to a brain just

1088
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:39,000
refuses to accept that it could be a ghost. It

1089
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:41,920
must be a guest who couldn't sleep. Slass lost. Back

1090
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,239
in about two thousand and two, I was about twenty one.

1091
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,639
I was in the Marines and Station in North Carolina.

1092
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,320
We lived in two man barracks rooms kind of light

1093
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,559
college dorms. My roommate left for the weekend to visit

1094
00:41:52,599 --> 00:41:55,360
his dad in South Carolina. Now that I grew up

1095
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,599
a huge fan of Star Wars and Star Trek, I

1096
00:41:57,639 --> 00:42:00,480
had also seen clothes encounters of the third kind, fire

1097
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:03,119
in the sky communion, so as a kid, I was

1098
00:42:03,199 --> 00:42:05,679
not so much afraid of ghosts or vampires or whatever else.

1099
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,119
It was aliens. My friend leaves Friday afternoon. I try

1100
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:11,840
to go to bed Friday night. As I'm laying there

1101
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,039
by myself, I swear I hear what sounds like a

1102
00:42:14,039 --> 00:42:18,079
wad Dailian morse cote I'm shaking. Some time goes by.

1103
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:20,519
I get up, turn on a light. Nothing. I grab

1104
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:23,639
a flashlight, try to go back to bed. After a while,

1105
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,039
I hear what sounds like some sort of machine starting up,

1106
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:29,840
then spinning faster than slower. I get up, look around again. Nothing.

1107
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,719
I tell myself there's nothing there. Try to go back

1108
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,880
to sleep. Then I hear what sounds like a conversation

1109
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,400
between two aliens taking place just a few feet away.

1110
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:40,880
I freeze. I tense up every muscle in my body

1111
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,840
and try to stay as still as possible. And that's

1112
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,679
how I stay until the sun comes up. The next morning,

1113
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:47,440
I find a few of my friends and ask them

1114
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,039
if they heard or saw anything crazy last night. No

1115
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:53,519
one describes anything like what I experienced. I managed to

1116
00:42:53,559 --> 00:42:55,559
sleep a little during the day, but dreaded having to

1117
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:57,920
go through the same thing again. I go to bed,

1118
00:42:58,039 --> 00:43:00,679
can't sleep at all, and it starts again. I hear

1119
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,920
like a weird early morse code. I hear worrying, not

1120
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,000
something mechanical like a drill. I hear cattual alien conversation.

1121
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,639
I hear something that sounds like high pitched light zibbers.

1122
00:43:08,679 --> 00:43:11,239
Then I hear it all again, unjust frozen, wide awake

1123
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,840
under my covers, convinced I'm about to be abducted. Until

1124
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,880
the sun comes up again and I look around, don't

1125
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,079
see anything, but get up a few hours later my

1126
00:43:18,159 --> 00:43:20,119
room it gets back and tells me I look like shit.

1127
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:22,119
I tell him I feel like shit. Then I decide

1128
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:24,039
I don't give a shit. How crazy a sound I'm

1129
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:26,159
gonna tell him about the last two nights. He sits

1130
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:28,480
and listens and actually doesn't treat me like I'm crazy.

1131
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:30,559
As I'm wrapping up the story, he unlocks his wall

1132
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:32,719
lock af his TV and Xbox are armed. He must

1133
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,800
have just left it on after playing Halo or something

1134
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,000
right before he left. Then it happens the sounds I

1135
00:43:37,039 --> 00:43:39,199
heard at night start coming out of his TV. Well,

1136
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,440
it turns out that if you leave an original Xbox on,

1137
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:43,760
it plays a weird white noise scrinciver, and that's what

1138
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,599
I was hearing. I did feel relieved that I was

1139
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:48,400
actually hearing something and not just crazy. One evening, around

1140
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,239
eleven PM, I was playing my bass in my living

1141
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:51,920
room with all of the lights on. Then it felt

1142
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,199
like gravity weakened, similar to the feeling when you're about

1143
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:55,880
to descend on a big hill from a roller coaster.

1144
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,760
I looked up from my instrument and saw this seven

1145
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,119
foot tall oval shape rip a mass which it was

1146
00:44:00,159 --> 00:44:01,960
blacker than black. The best way I can describe it

1147
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:03,960
is like the absence of lives. I was looking directly

1148
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,679
at it, and then it slowly began to move across

1149
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:07,400
the room and through the wall. I turned around and

1150
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,199
saw a white ball about the size of a golf

1151
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:10,840
ball hovering at the top of the door rain. It

1152
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,679
stayed there for maybe a second or two, then shot

1153
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,239
down diagonally into the floor. Shortly after that, the feeling

1154
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,320
of gravity returned, and then I freaked out because I

1155
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,679
had no idea what I had experienced. About a year later,

1156
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,639
I moved into an apartment building with my mom. One

1157
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,800
day unkneen while she was at work, I was in

1158
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,679
the kitchen and I felt my mom's presence there, the

1159
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,519
same feeling of when you know someone is in the

1160
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:30,039
same room as you but he just aren't looking at them. Automatically.

1161
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:32,039
I turned around to ask her something, but it said

1162
00:44:32,119 --> 00:44:34,159
I saw this human I being standing roughly a foot

1163
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:35,960
in front of me. I am sixty four, so from

1164
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,880
where I was standing, it looked like it was about

1165
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,039
the height of where my chestice. It had nuclear features.

1166
00:44:40,039 --> 00:44:42,039
The entire being was vibrating on the spot and did

1167
00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:44,480
swelling colors of red, green, and silver all over it.

1168
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:46,320
I looked around the ear and then got the impression

1169
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,559
that it noticed that I noticed it. Once it registered that,

1170
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,079
rather than turn around, it turned inside it. Its front

1171
00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:53,000
became its back, and its back became its front. Then

1172
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:54,920
it was down the hole into closed closet door. I

1173
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,719
commonly walked to the door and opened it. Then nothing

1174
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,679
was there. The weird part about that experience was that

1175
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,519
I didn't react. I registered it is another mundane experience,

1176
00:45:01,559 --> 00:45:03,800
like washing dishes. I went and watched TV after that,

1177
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,079
not giving it a second thought. Slash slash. When I

1178
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:08,400
was seventeen, I Volva had passed away from skin cancer

1179
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,280
that reached his brain. Out of the twelve grand children

1180
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,719
he had, me and him were the ones that got

1181
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,440
to hang out and enjoy the time. We had since

1182
00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:15,400
my parents were divorced and it would be a three

1183
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,119
hours drive to go see him. It was one of

1184
00:45:17,119 --> 00:45:18,679
the worst days I've had and because of it has

1185
00:45:18,679 --> 00:45:21,239
helped me a lot of myself. Anyways, here and half

1186
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,840
after that, in my senior year, I was in a

1187
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,840
Protestant private skill that would go from Texas too i

1188
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,000
Llnois for a big church camp where other skills would

1189
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,760
meet up from all over the country. One of the

1190
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,679
times we had a church service going on, and it

1191
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,360
was right at the end to where everyone goes up

1192
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,480
to the front and does the jumping and whatever craziness

1193
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,360
people need to worship. To me, going to churches all

1194
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,639
my life, I've seen things that are explainable and sometimes

1195
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,239
just things that's hard to explain. The unexplainable happened that

1196
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,440
night that I will never forget. As I was upfront,

1197
00:45:43,519 --> 00:45:45,480
just with my eyes closed, head down, looking at the

1198
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,519
floor and just looking like I was praying, I heard

1199
00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:49,159
a voice say hi to me. I thought it was

1200
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,400
just someone from my group that was wanted to say hi.

1201
00:45:51,519 --> 00:45:53,159
Then I hear it again and as I look up

1202
00:45:53,199 --> 00:45:54,760
to see who it was, it was my Volvo looking

1203
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,880
at me. I was so shocked iliterally fully back and

1204
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,639
freed out of me. Seeing him ride in front of me,

1205
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,920
I literally broke down and stop God. Crying so much.

1206
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:02,519
My teacher came up to me to see if I

1207
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:04,360
was a case since she saw me flew back in shock,

1208
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,480
thinking that I was having a holy presence moment. I

1209
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:08,639
just kept repeating to her out loud, I saw my Vava,

1210
00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:10,360
I saw my Vava. To me, I think it was

1211
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,199
one of those moments where God gave him a chance

1212
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,559
to come down and see his oldest grunchild one more time.

1213
00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:16,480
Even though I almost kissed myself there. It will be

1214
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,119
something that I will never forget. Slaslush. My grandparents' houses

1215
00:46:19,159 --> 00:46:21,719
had boltic guised activity since nineteen seventy. It started with

1216
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,840
my mother and her two sister, Louise and Theresa, were

1217
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,199
playing around in a semi day. My mother apparently forgot

1218
00:46:26,199 --> 00:46:28,159
about the age old don't walk in the actual grave's

1219
00:46:28,159 --> 00:46:30,679
asshole rule while they were playing hide and seek and

1220
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,719
was running from Teresa. She stepped onto a grove and

1221
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,679
then the ground gave way and she fell into the grave.

1222
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,960
According to her, the grave was from nineteen oh seven

1223
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,920
and bought the same name as hows, discoot some other

1224
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,039
doubt out, took it home and got out that weed aboard.

1225
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:43,320
Jimmy Hendrix had just passed away, and her older sister

1226
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,679
decided she wanted to contact him. They decided that the

1227
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,320
best way to increase the power of the board was

1228
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,719
to sprinkle the grave dirt around the board, light some candles,

1229
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,719
and turn out the lights. Jimmy Hendrix did not answer them, obviously,

1230
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,239
but a woman named Amy did, and she apparently thoroughly

1231
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,320
chatters them for being naughty girls. The plan she had

1232
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,599
immediately after moved to goodbye to all three women. The

1233
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:02,000
room silent until the wind picked up outside and blew

1234
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,639
around the outside of the house in such a way

1235
00:47:03,679 --> 00:47:05,440
that it sounded like a shrieking woman and a money

1236
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,119
man all at the same time. There was no wind

1237
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:09,559
in the room, yet the candle flames instantly went out,

1238
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:11,840
and the lump on the bedside table switched on by itself.

1239
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,599
All three girls run screaming out of the room and

1240
00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:16,039
hid in their father's bedroom between the wall and the bed.

1241
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:18,239
After the calm down and no longer felt threatened, they

1242
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,199
discussed what should be done next. They went back into

1243
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,719
Louise's bedroom, where they had been performing. The seants brushed

1244
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,599
the dort into a linen handkerchief, retrieved the board, retrieved

1245
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:27,320
salt and natches from the cupboard in the kitchen, and

1246
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,599
went outside in the backyard. They said the Lord's prayer

1247
00:47:29,679 --> 00:47:32,320
while holding hands, sprinkled the board and craved out with salt,

1248
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,599
pour gasoline on the items and burned them. They went

1249
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:37,119
back inside, feeling like this was over, and tried not

1250
00:47:37,199 --> 00:47:39,480
to think about it anymore. Nothing happened for a few

1251
00:47:39,519 --> 00:47:42,760
weeks until the indust Louise began having terrible nightmodes, to

1252
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,880
which she would wake up screaming several times a night.

1253
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,800
My mother was next, followed by her older sister, Theresa.

1254
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,079
At My grandparents, both very quiet and not the type

1255
00:47:50,119 --> 00:47:52,519
to tell tall tales, describe the upcoming months as nice,

1256
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:54,760
with no sleep, rushing from one room to another, flicking

1257
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,280
lights on and off, falling into bed after soothing one daughter,

1258
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:00,320
drifting into sleep, only to be wakened by another screaming girl.

1259
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,480
This went on for several months and then stopped abruptly.

1260
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:04,800
Just as my grandparents were beginning to feel well rested,

1261
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,000
Louise began screaming for her mother and father in the

1262
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:09,480
night again, there are people in my room. According to Louise,

1263
00:48:09,559 --> 00:48:11,480
she would wake up because she could hear people talking,

1264
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:13,719
and when she would open her eyes, the bedroom lights

1265
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,039
would be on and there would be at man and

1266
00:48:15,039 --> 00:48:17,079
a woman standing in the corner of her bedroom, sipping

1267
00:48:17,079 --> 00:48:19,519
cock tills and having discussions about the way that my

1268
00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:21,840
grandmother started sleeping in bed with her now sixteen year

1269
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,559
old daughter. For the first few days, nothing happened, and

1270
00:48:24,599 --> 00:48:26,440
my Anne propped her awake in the middle of the night.

1271
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,840
Grandma opened her eyes and looked around the room, seeing nothing,

1272
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,159
heard no noises, and when she began to ask Louise

1273
00:48:31,159 --> 00:48:33,360
why she woke her up, Louise growled a fistful of

1274
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,639
her nightgun and said shh, and then the lamp on

1275
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:38,199
the bedside table turned itself on. My grandmother jumped out

1276
00:48:38,199 --> 00:48:40,199
of bed to grant Louise by the arm and dragged

1277
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,280
her into my grandpa's bedroom. She woke him up, told

1278
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,280
him what happened, and they both slept in his bed

1279
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,960
for the next several weeks until Teresa, now eighteen and

1280
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,079
going off to college, moved out, at which time they

1281
00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:51,440
moved Louise into Teresa's old bedroom. There were more things

1282
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,519
that happened over the years, but it slowly tapered off

1283
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:55,119
into a navy once in a while thing. Once they

1284
00:48:55,159 --> 00:48:57,960
moved Louise into another bedroom. Now forty seven years later,

1285
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
that the bedroom is like a tying capsule. My grandam

1286
00:49:00,039 --> 00:49:02,360
other used to clean it weekly, but they never moved

1287
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,320
anything out of it except the wheezy's clothing. All the

1288
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,039
furnacyings have stayed the same, and after years of refurbishing

1289
00:49:07,039 --> 00:49:08,800
every other room in the house, that room still has

1290
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,079
pea green shack carpet in and orange and gold al warpate.

1291
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:13,280
Since Grandma died ten years ago, no one has really

1292
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,400
bothered with the room except for the occasional cleaning It

1293
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,679
gets when there's one too many extra overnight guests and

1294
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,639
someone has to sleep in there, and no one ever

1295
00:49:19,679 --> 00:49:21,800
makes it all night. We almost always wake up to

1296
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,960
find this person's sleeping on the couch that night. When

1297
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,960
no one is in the room, you can hear people talking,

1298
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,000
a lot of people like there's some kind of party

1299
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,199
going on in there, coming from the room. As a child,

1300
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,280
that room was a source of nightmares. All the elder

1301
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,360
cousins would play tricks on the ender ones to force

1302
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,119
them into that room only to lock them in. And

1303
00:49:36,119 --> 00:49:38,159
myself was locked in the closet when I was seven,

1304
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,199
But that a whole another story, and tell their cries

1305
00:49:40,199 --> 00:49:42,559
for help attracted dulled attention, or even just the standard

1306
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:44,119
you're too little to play with us, you have to

1307
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:46,079
stay in the back bedroom for five minutes alone if

1308
00:49:46,119 --> 00:49:48,159
you want to play. There've been small bouts of activity

1309
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:50,159
throughout the home over the years. This post is getting

1310
00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:51,960
pretty long, so I'll cut myself off and not go

1311
00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:54,599
into any more detail. But it's really just something that

1312
00:49:54,639 --> 00:49:56,559
everyone has used to you, and for the last thirty

1313
00:49:56,599 --> 00:49:58,559
five years or so, that room has just kind of

1314
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:00,719
belonged to them. My older cousin I rtually locked me

1315
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,679
in the closet in that room when I was about five.

1316
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,519
I say locked, but all she really did was close

1317
00:50:04,599 --> 00:50:06,440
the door. I don't remember why I couldn't get out

1318
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,599
of the closet, but I remember trying to open the

1319
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:10,320
door and not being able to. I didn't want to

1320
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,199
yell for help because that would make me a chicken,

1321
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,000
and she wouldn't want to play with me anymore, and

1322
00:50:14,119 --> 00:50:15,760
b it would get her in trouble and she wouldn't

1323
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,119
want to play anymore. So I sat in the floor

1324
00:50:18,159 --> 00:50:19,800
of the closet with my back to the wall. It

1325
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,199
was quiet for a moment, and I heard footsteps outside

1326
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,239
the door, so I thought she was finally let me out,

1327
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,800
bat she didn't. According to her and everyone else in

1328
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,400
the house, she had been outside to ride her bike.

1329
00:50:28,519 --> 00:50:30,480
I heard the wire court hands stop moving back and

1330
00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:32,800
forth across the rail on there own, scraping back and forth,

1331
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,599
and then an old doll fell off the top shelf

1332
00:50:34,599 --> 00:50:36,199
and landed in front of me. It was the kind

1333
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:37,920
that had the little sand books inside it, and when

1334
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,760
it landed at me, I looked into its little plastic

1335
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,159
face and it said Mama. I started screaming bloody murder

1336
00:50:42,159 --> 00:50:43,960
and pounding on the door, and my grandfather came to

1337
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,280
the rescue. I remember hearing him run down the hallway

1338
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,280
and seeing him sluing the door open. It was really

1339
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,840
traumatic for me, but probably not as traumatic for my cousin.

1340
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,519
He made her sleep in that room by herself that

1341
00:50:52,639 --> 00:50:54,760
night as punishment. She is pretty much hated my guts

1342
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,440
ever since. When I first called if ied as a

1343
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,719
nurse about seven years ago. My first job was working

1344
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,920
in the operating theaters of a lot old hospital. I

1345
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:02,519
was doing a run of night ships and out. We

1346
00:51:02,599 --> 00:51:05,239
ran just one emergency theater overnight, so you would often

1347
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,039
be able to have a long break to get some sleep.

1348
00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:09,519
The department had a large basement full of winding corridors

1349
00:51:09,519 --> 00:51:11,280
and rooms where we kept the equipment needed for the

1350
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,440
all the surgeries. There was also a very large staff

1351
00:51:13,519 --> 00:51:15,679
room in the basement full of comfortable couches. That was

1352
00:51:15,679 --> 00:51:17,480
my last shift and I was feeling a bit tired,

1353
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,280
so I headed down there for my break. All the

1354
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,840
other nets have said they were going to stay on

1355
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,719
the main floor and sleep in the recovery room, which

1356
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,559
I thought was odd. I set all done, but couldn't

1357
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:26,480
sleep as usual, so was texting the girl I was

1358
00:51:26,519 --> 00:51:28,400
dating at the time. Facing the back of the couch,

1359
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:30,920
I suddenly felt a heavy, angry slap on my back.

1360
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,079
I screamed out loud because I didn't think anyone was

1361
00:51:33,119 --> 00:51:34,719
in the room with me. I jumped up and sammed

1362
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,719
the light on empty. I grabbed my stuff and run

1363
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,800
out of the room through the winding dot corridors, up

1364
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,159
the stairs, and out into the santirey of the recovery room.

1365
00:51:41,159 --> 00:51:43,079
I must have looked white as a sheet. Someone asked

1366
00:51:43,079 --> 00:51:44,760
if I was okay, and I said what had happened

1367
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,440
and swore it was true. There was no way I

1368
00:51:46,519 --> 00:51:48,480
was asleep an old and air smiled and said, you

1369
00:51:48,519 --> 00:51:51,119
met him, didn't you. She explained how years ago and

1370
00:51:51,199 --> 00:51:53,639
not very nice man who did the inventory had a

1371
00:51:53,639 --> 00:51:55,639
heart attack and passed away down there alone in the

1372
00:51:55,639 --> 00:51:59,159
staff room. Ever since, people kept experiencing angry events like

1373
00:51:59,159 --> 00:52:01,840
the sensations of being smothered, pushed, a slap, to flying

1374
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,400
down there at night. That was why most staff didn't

1375
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,760
sleep down there at night. I never went back in

1376
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,599
the staff room for the entire time I worked there,

1377
00:52:08,679 --> 00:52:11,000
unless it was in the day with a colleague. This

1378
00:52:11,119 --> 00:52:14,719
falls under the unexplainable category rather than the paranormal. I

1379
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,280
would describe it as a glitch. When I was about

1380
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,559
nine or ten years old, my family lived across the

1381
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:23,480
street from my dad's best friend. This guy had a daughter, Alexis,

1382
00:52:23,559 --> 00:52:25,559
who was a couple years older than me. I became

1383
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:27,119
friends with her as we would hang out while our

1384
00:52:27,159 --> 00:52:30,079
parents docked. One day, we were kicking a soccer bowl

1385
00:52:30,119 --> 00:52:32,360
back and forth in the yard. I was at a

1386
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,360
twentem and is thirty feet away and she kicked the

1387
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,119
ball toward me, and it soared through the air in

1388
00:52:36,119 --> 00:52:38,920
my direction. You know how when something is about to

1389
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,079
hit you, you can see it coming, almost like time

1390
00:52:41,119 --> 00:52:43,760
slows down. I saw this ball spinning through the aid

1391
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,079
directly toward me, and I just sort of cringed and

1392
00:52:46,119 --> 00:52:48,559
braced for impact as I watched it draw near, and

1393
00:52:48,639 --> 00:52:51,559
then the wordesst shit happened. I stood there and watched

1394
00:52:51,559 --> 00:52:53,639
as this ball hit me right square in the abdomen

1395
00:52:54,199 --> 00:52:57,000
and then kept on going. I literally watched the ball

1396
00:52:57,039 --> 00:52:59,079
disappear into my body before it came out the other

1397
00:52:59,159 --> 00:53:01,159
side and continued for ying for another five minutes, ten

1398
00:53:01,199 --> 00:53:03,800
feet before tumble into the grass. I know that the

1399
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,159
bolt did not simply hit my side emeral off because

1400
00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:08,239
I didn't feel anything. If I hadn't been watching, i'd

1401
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,880
have thought she kicked it past me. I did not

1402
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,000
feel a single thing. It's like a no sigh Fi

1403
00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:14,880
movers where someone passes their hand through a hologram. I

1404
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,559
know what I saw, and most shockingly, Alecsa saw it too.

1405
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,440
I was shocked and confused, and when I turned to

1406
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,920
ask her did you see that? I saw her staring

1407
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,840
back all slack jawed, with a pale face and giant

1408
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,119
eyes like she'd just seen a ghost. She definitely saw it,

1409
00:53:28,199 --> 00:53:30,880
probably clearer than I did. All she could say was

1410
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,039
what the hell? We had no idea what to make

1411
00:53:33,119 --> 00:53:35,119
of it, and I think we were both equally freaked out.

1412
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,880
I've tried to justify it and explain it over the years,

1413
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,679
but the bottom line is I know what I saw,

1414
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,159
and I wasn't the only one. That look of sharks

1415
00:53:42,199 --> 00:53:44,400
slash horror on her face confirmed it for me, and

1416
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,280
that's what sticks with me, the fact that we both

1417
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,679
saw it happen. We were both deeply and settled by it,

1418
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,920
and she said exactly what I saw. It when right

1419
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,840
for you, dude. When I was little, about four, which

1420
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,199
I'm currently nineteen, I woke up screaming and crying to

1421
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,840
a bedroom of illuminated holographic butterflies that were all the

1422
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,599
colors of the rainbow and the noise of all their

1423
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:03,639
wings were loud and terribly unsettling. They were flying everywhere

1424
00:54:03,639 --> 00:54:05,760
in a tornado pattern and appeared as when you turn

1425
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,920
up the exposure on a camera and see their paths

1426
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,079
for glowing lines. My parents ran into my room, shoped

1427
00:54:11,079 --> 00:54:12,920
and confused from what I saw, and I still wonder

1428
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,079
if they sold them or it was only me. My

1429
00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:16,960
dad proceeded to pick me up and they both ran

1430
00:54:17,039 --> 00:54:19,559
out with me and took me outside. We were staying

1431
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:21,840
at a farm that peanut and other crops in Alabama.

1432
00:54:22,079 --> 00:54:24,199
Not sure why because I was too young to remember.

1433
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,480
My mom's deceased due to drinking and drug use, and

1434
00:54:27,559 --> 00:54:30,119
my father is unknown, don't know. They got divorced last

1435
00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:32,480
time I checked, he was in Florida. I move in

1436
00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:34,760
and started living with my aunt and uncle in Nebraska

1437
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,400
when I was six, so I am unable to ask

1438
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,920
them if I were seeing stuff or they saw it

1439
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,760
as well due to both of those situations. Wondering if

1440
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,159
any one knows of any relation of butterflies and demonic

1441
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,800
slush dark stuff, or as any thoughts. Maybe it was

1442
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,800
a farm that had lots of racial crimes and murders

1443
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,320
back in the day. I don't know. There's no racism

1444
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,199
in my family at all. Just for more context. Also,

1445
00:54:53,199 --> 00:54:54,960
there was an alien poster in the room I was

1446
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,960
sleeping in as well that said believed to which I

1447
00:54:57,039 --> 00:55:17,320
remember at the time to be horrifying. Hah.
