WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.560 This episode is brought to you by my newest supporters, Jeffrey, Claire, 2 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.679 Sean and Teresa. Thank you for making the show possible. 3 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.439 Welcome once again to Paranormal Mysteries, and thank you for 4 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:39.159 joining me. As always, I'm your host, Nick Ryan. Our 5 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.840 first encounter of the night comes to us from Robert, 6 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.960 and this is his story. I have submitted two other 7 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.640 stories to your program in the past. I live in Tucson, Arizona. 8 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.719 I have been keeping this story to myself for years 9 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.119 because I had no idea what was going on at 10 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.799 the time. Now I at least have a guess. This 11 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:05.200 would be a true paranormal mystery. In twenty fourteen, I 12 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.879 lived in a very small house with two friends. The 13 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.799 situation was causing a great deal of tension between us, 14 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.519 and we were always arguing. I had to kick them 15 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.760 both out to try to regain some peace in my 16 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.000 life because the living situation had become chaotic. I am 17 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.959 not proud of how I handled it at the time, 18 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.920 but I was very stressed. The joy of living alone 19 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.959 with just my cats was overwhelming. I cannot tell you 20 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.719 how happy I was at this time. I felt free 21 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.280 and overjoyed, which is why What happened next was so perplexing. 22 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.000 About a week after my roommates were gone, I began 23 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.040 experiencing pounding throughout the house. It started one night with 24 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.760 pounding on the roof directly above me as I lay 25 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.120 in bed trying to go to sleep. It was a 26 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.599 series of three bangs. I remember thinking that it was odd, 27 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.079 but I ignored it. Then it continued to happen every 28 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.840 night when I would be in different rooms, and even 29 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.040 during the day, sometimes multiple time time throughout the day, 30 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.640 but I still ignored it. Soon I'd be sitting in 31 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.159 my living room and there would be three loud knocks 32 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.840 on my door. That's when I'd jump up to check, 33 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.479 only to find that no one was there. This escalated 34 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.120 to the banging on my front door early in the morning, 35 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.960 making me leap out of bed. It was a loud, 36 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.719 angry banging, like maybe police would do. It was scary. 37 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.360 I'd always go outside and look around, but there was 38 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.919 never anyone around. As time went on, the banging would 39 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.520 be on the walls of the house. Three loud bangs 40 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.520 on the wall, then three on the door, then three 41 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.360 on the roof. There was no pattern, but it wouldn't 42 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.400 go on for long. One morning, the scariest of all 43 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.120 these times, the banging was right next to my head 44 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.919 as I was sleeping. I remember leaping out of bed 45 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.879 and throwing my pillow and blanket across the room. I 46 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.080 was terrified. This happened a few more times over the 47 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.240 next few days, but usually the pounding would not get 48 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.680 that close to me. The reason that I chose to 49 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.319 ignore was because I was at such a happy time 50 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.280 in my life. I couldn't understand why this was happening 51 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.639 or what was causing it. After about a month, it 52 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:14.039 began tapering off, and eventually it stopped for good. Over 53 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.120 time thinking about what had happened, my guess was that 54 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.319 maybe the anger from my two roommates had manifested into 55 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.360 some sort of psychic energy that was being directed at me. 56 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.960 I've never experienced anything like that before or after. Thank 57 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.560 you for letting me share this story. I love your show. 58 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:39.960 All the best to you and all the listeners. Our 59 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.039 next experience comes to us from Jason and Jason's story 60 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:50.560 is called Horror on the Hill. Jason says, Nick, I'm 61 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.560 a magnet for paranormal activity, but I fear that this 62 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.680 story is far greater than me I lived in Holland, 63 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.759 New York, on fifteen acres of land a home that 64 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.560 resembles the Amityville Horror House. Our house was built in 65 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.400 nineteen eighty five across the street from the original family's farmhouse. 66 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.759 The father gave both his son's land to build their homes, 67 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.520 and they built two homes across the street from the farm. 68 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.439 During the build of both of those homes, the one 69 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.480 brother had brought his kids and wife up to the 70 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.480 house while he worked on it. Later that day, while 71 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.399 driving back to their home in the city, he inadvertently 72 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.199 entered the wrong lane of the freeway and they ended 73 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.120 up in a head on collision, killing his wife and 74 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.120 two kids. After this tragic loss, he lost interest in 75 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.319 everything and even abandoned the house build, leaving the house 76 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.839 to sit empty for several years. Finally, a new couple 77 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.600 bought the house and finished construction and moved in. However, 78 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.360 they moved out in less than two years, and that's 79 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.160 when we bought it and moved in. This house is cursed, 80 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.800 in my opinion. Immediately we were noticing odd sounds around 81 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.040 the house and muffled voices we would hear running up 82 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.040 and down the basement stage, and upon inspecting the basement, 83 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.399 nothing was there. On another occasion, we heard what sounded 84 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.920 like all of our stacked wood in the basement that's 85 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.240 used to heat the house being hurled against the basement wall. Immediately, 86 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.879 we thought the cats had knocked down the ten cords 87 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.920 of wood in an avalanche of sorts. So I ran 88 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.439 downstairs and I found nothing out of place. Late at night, 89 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.199 we would also hear what sounded like a hammer hitting 90 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.759 the support poles in the basement, but again there was 91 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.519 nothing down there. On another occasion, I came in from 92 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.319 work after working the midnight shift, and my mother was 93 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.040 getting ready to leave for work. She comes up to 94 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.680 me and says, I think someone is in the basement, 95 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.360 and I'm like, huh, but then she says, shh, listen. 96 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.519 There was unusual noises, and then suddenly I heard someone 97 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.560 run down the basement stairs, and then our basement door 98 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.000 leading outside slam shot. I ran to our kitchen to 99 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.319 look down at the basement door, and there wasn't a 100 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.879 soul around. No one could have disappeared that quick as 101 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.319 it was all open farm fields. Well, I hesitantly went 102 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.519 down the basement stairs and looked around but there was nothing. 103 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.240 So I came upstairs and I closed the door behind me, 104 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.120 and I said mom. But I didn't finish my statement 105 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.759 because all of a sudden, someone ran down the stairs. Again. 106 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.199 I whipped open the door, but no one was there. 107 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.399 If we were in the living room, that basement door 108 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.720 would open, and then the patio door would open and 109 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.120 then slam shot. We never witnessed the actual doors opening 110 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.879 or closing. We only would hear it, and of course 111 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.240 we would run to inspect it, and there was nothing 112 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:41.920 in sight. The activity grew bolder late at night. It 113 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.240 would open our bedroom doors and say our names. It 114 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.959 would repeat our name until we answered, and when we 115 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.480 did answer, it would close the door gently. The scary 116 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.839 part is it used familiar family voices. Another incident happened 117 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.800 in my bedroom. As I was getting undressed. I heard 118 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.560 a king on metal sound. I stopped and looked, thinking 119 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.959 that I popped a button or something, but I hadn't. 120 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.279 I continued to undress until I saw the handle to 121 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.160 my closet moving slowly left to right. The handle was 122 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.600 making the ping sound as it hit the strike plate. 123 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.600 I stood there in disbelief, watching this handle go left 124 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.759 to right, not comprehending what I was seeing until the 125 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.240 door opened an inch and then it closed again. It 126 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.560 did this twice. The scary part is that my bedroom 127 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.439 door is diagonal from the closet, so how was I 128 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.319 going to get out of the bedroom. Eventually I worked 129 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.959 up the nerve and slammed my hand against the closet 130 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.959 and I whipped my bedroom door open. Then I shouted 131 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.360 for my younger brother, Yes, younger and much braver brother. 132 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.319 He ran up and asked me what was wrong, and 133 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.480 I told him. He laughed and then opened the closet door, 134 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.600 but his laughter stopped when he noticed the attic door 135 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.959 in the ceiling was open and the light was now on. 136 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.759 You see, no one ever went up there, because in 137 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.920 a can't fit through the space, only a small kid 138 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.759 or maybe a skinny teenager. My brother then got the 139 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.360 step ladder and he slowly stuck his head up into 140 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.480 the attic, and all I could think of was the 141 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.639 worst thing When he did that, everything runs through your 142 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.040 mind when you're anticipating the worst. In the end, though 143 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.319 not a thing was up there, we had so many 144 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.240 family members doubt our stories of what was happening, until, 145 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.759 of course, they witnessed it themselves. My grandmother was so 146 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.120 shook up when she stayed at our house that when 147 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.840 we came home from the Irish Festival, she said that 148 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.960 we needed to get a priest to bless the house. 149 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.440 She told us that she had heard someone come out 150 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.720 of the basement and then a voice called her by 151 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.159 name twice. Surely, surely, she told us that it was 152 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.440 her mother's voice. However, Nana had been dead for twenty 153 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.600 three years. We eventually sold the home, not because of 154 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.759 the haunting, but just to downsize from thirty eight hundred 155 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.919 square feet. Every person after us who bought that house 156 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.960 sold that house in less than two years. I learned 157 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.559 through neighbors they all said the house was evil and 158 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.480 they couldn't take it any more. My belief is that 159 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.159 the house is haunted not only by the guy's wife 160 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.399 and kids, but also some demonic force that's been on 161 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.679 the land up there for generations. Why do I think this, Well, 162 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.840 do you remember Elizabeth Montgomery, the actress in Bewitched, Well, 163 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.639 she did a movie on her neighbor's house called the 164 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.799 Gale Wolfer Story. It was about a realtor showing a 165 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.919 house and a home invader comes in and shoots both 166 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.720 her and the house's owner. Look it up, it's crazy. 167 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.559 The murderer was a reserve deputy sheriff. Another neighbor named 168 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.240 Jim Strab put his kids on the school bus and 169 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.720 then walked back into his house and went into the 170 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.039 kitchen where his wife was eating breakfast, and he shot 171 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:53.159 her and then took his own life. Another neighbor, mister Beeler, 172 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.519 hung himself in his garage, and just a few houses away, 173 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.480 a kid that was in my school hung himself. The 174 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.360 entire hill is evil, but I feel the portal is 175 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:11.080 at the old house. What are your theories? This next 176 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.559 experience comes to us from Sandra, and although similar to 177 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.919 our last experience in its title and some of its phenomena, 178 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.320 there is actually no connection. This sort of thing happens 179 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.159 sometimes when I'm putting an episode together. It's as if 180 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.320 certain experiences just want to be grouped in the same episode, 181 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.039 even if I received them at completely different times. For instance, 182 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.759 the last experience that I just read and this experience 183 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.519 I'm about to read were submitted almost a year apart 184 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.080 and come from two very different parts of the country. 185 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.919 You'd be surprised at how frequently this actually happens. I 186 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.840 find this extremely interesting. Anyway, Let's get on with our 187 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.480 next experience. Like I said, this experience comes to us 188 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.399 from Sandra, and Sandra calls it the Haunted House on 189 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.399 the Hill. Sandra shared a previous experience in episode four 190 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.879 fifty four, regarding a bizarre encounter with a dark glob 191 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.200 that both she and her reeltor encountered while touring a 192 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.360 house for sale in New Mexico. This is a follow 193 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:14.320 up to that experience. Sandra says, I didn't think too 194 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.639 much about the dark glob house afterwards. Sure, I told 195 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.279 my family and friends about that very strange encounter that 196 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.600 caused my realtor in me to run from the empty 197 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.159 house for sale, But I was focused on finding the 198 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.000 right house and a job in my new town. Within days, 199 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.080 I did find a custom house that was built in 200 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.360 nineteen sixty nine, far away from the dark glob house. 201 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.000 It was within walking distance to ancient petroglyphs that were 202 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:41.879 carved under rocks. My offer was accepted, and until the 203 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.559 purchase closed thirty days later, I stayed at a nearby hotel. 204 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.600 The realtor was with me every time we visited the 205 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.879 house for inspections, the appraisal and repairs are requested. This 206 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.919 was the same realtor who showed me the Dark Glob house. 207 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.960 The current owner of the custom built house was a 208 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.840 single woman in her lage sixties. She lived with her 209 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.279 teenage grandson and had just bought the house a few 210 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.399 months earlier before putting it back up for sale. I 211 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.759 asked her where her new house was. She said it 212 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.279 was close by and it was very similar, but she 213 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.639 did not want to continue living in this house. I 214 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.279 didn't ask why. I didn't want to pry. I should 215 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.679 have excited about my new house. I went to a 216 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.000 store across town to buy some new sheets for my 217 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.559 bed that was still in storage, along with the rest 218 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.200 of my belongings. Interestingly enough, the store was within a 219 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.759 few blocks of the Dark Glob House. As I neared 220 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.759 the store, I felt the stinging sensation on my stomach. 221 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.600 What was that an insect bite? It burned like crazy. 222 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.000 I quickly found the sheets I wanted and immediately returned 223 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.480 to the hotel. The burning sensation on my stomach would 224 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.480 not stop. I looked at it in the mirror. At 225 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.559 the top of my stomach were four red indentations in 226 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.600 a semicircle. I thought to myself, am I seeing human 227 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.000 teeth marks? I had heard of this thing happening to others, 228 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.600 but never to me. Thankfully, though, the marks disappeared fairly quickly, 229 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.279 and I put the incident behind me. I closed on 230 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.279 the house at the end of March twenty twenty. Unfortunately, 231 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:17.080 though the pandemic was in its infancy, the three promising 232 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.919 office jobs I recently interviewed for were now on hold indefinitely, 233 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.480 along with the rest of the world. I was going 234 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.559 to be at home for a bet. At first, the 235 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.159 only oddities in the house were problems with anything associated 236 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:36.639 with water, meaning the kitchen sink, washing machine disposal, evaporative cooler, toilet, 237 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.000 a leaky roof, and even my yard flooded two times 238 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.919 and had broken sprinkler lines. But those water issues weren't 239 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.000 won and done. They were a constant battle, even up 240 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.240 to my final days in that house five years later. 241 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.279 I spent thousands of dollars to fix the water problems 242 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.840 that were never fully fixed. They just kept repeating. A 243 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.320 few weeks after moving in, I was walking past the 244 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.039 front door and my feet came to a sudden stop again. 245 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.879 The feet I felt as though I needed to smudge 246 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.840 the door with sage. It was a nice sunny day, 247 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.600 so I opened the front door, put my sage bucket 248 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.120 on a plant stand, smudged, and then lit incense sticks. 249 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:17.639 The screen door was closed while the front door was 250 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:21.799 wide open. Everything was calm on that lovely day. But 251 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:26.840 then suddenly wind, strong wind. Sure, strong winds are common 252 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.919 in Elbuquerque, but this wind felt different somehow, now lightning. 253 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.399 It was unbelievably strong as well. It seemed as if 254 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.159 the wind and lightning started at the southwest corner of 255 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.480 my property, wrapped around the back and then the side 256 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.559 of my house, and then came to a rest at 257 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.200 my front door. I ran to my door and I 258 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.480 shut it. A beautiful ceramic pot on a plant stand 259 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:53.039 outside my front window came crashing down. It broke and 260 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.639 scattered dirt on my front door mat. After much intensity, 261 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.000 right outside my front door, the storm vanished, no more 262 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.120 wind and no more lightning, only a broken pot. I 263 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.320 checked for other damage, such as down tree limbs, plastic 264 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.120 lawn chairs turned over, even the plastic tarps I had 265 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.799 draped casually over some things that may have blown away, 266 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.320 But amazingly, nothing else had budged nothing. It was as 267 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.720 if the storm never came except for the broken pot. 268 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:25.279 This is symbolic, This is a message, That's what I thought. 269 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.879 I became friends with a Navajo man who offered to 270 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.000 smudge my house. When he did, he said the smoke 271 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.399 was acting strangely. It should go straight up, he said, 272 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.759 But this smoke headed toward the front door of the 273 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.039 house and remained that way for several minutes. He told 274 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.879 me there was a problem at the front of my house, 275 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.200 but I already knew this well. Time went on, and 276 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.399 so did the pandemic. Office jobs were still limited, but 277 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.519 restaurants were now opening. I applied at one and was 278 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.440 hired as a server. I met my future husband at 279 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.600 that restaurant, and this is when the paranormal activity started 280 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.960 to ramp up big time. He and I worked together 281 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.440 for five months as friends before he went to work 282 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.360 at another restaurant. However, we kept bumping into each other 283 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.320 around town and soon we started dating. One night, I 284 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.320 was going to pick him up at his job. He 285 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.960 was supposed to work until midnight, so I decided to 286 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.200 take a nap around seven pm. The second my body 287 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.360 hit the bed, a thunderous crashing noise came from the kitchen. 288 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.200 It was as if pots and pans and lids and 289 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.840 anything else made of metal had fallen from the sky 290 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.000 and then crashed to the floor. I bolted out of 291 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.720 bed and was shocked to find nothing, not a single 292 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.879 thing was out of place. I skipped the nap. Over 293 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.440 the coming weeks, I began waking up at three am 294 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.240 on the dot. It happened so many times that I 295 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.519 mentioned it to my coworkers. Ah three am the witching hour. 296 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.919 One woman said, the witching what I had never heard 297 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.600 of it. Soon my boyfriend and I married and he 298 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:01.159 moved into the house. There was already active paranormal activity 299 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.559 in my house and his apartment in the weeks and 300 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.519 months before, but we didn't compare notes until later. He 301 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.839 was working two jobs heavy with physical activity. But once 302 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.599 he moved in, he too started waking up at three 303 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.119 a m. On the dot. He would hear voices in 304 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.440 the hallway, both men and women, and he felt compelled 305 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.039 to investigate the soft footsteps that would come down the 306 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.559 hallway and then stop at the door of our bedroom. 307 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.599 He would feel touches on his skin and whispers in 308 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.599 his ear. We both felt a heaviness transcending and we 309 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:40.240 both started having nightmares.

After these 318 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:12.559 brief messages, we were watching TV in the guest bedroom 319 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.400 one afternoon. The room has a skylight, three outer walls, 320 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.480 and is close to the entrance to the front of 321 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.279 the house. Suddenly, a loud scraping sound began on the 322 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.759 west side of the wall, and it moved east through 323 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.160 the car port, as if a large rock was being 324 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.880 rolled against it. We scrambled outside and blinked once again nothing. 325 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:35.880 One day, I was sitting in one of the two 326 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.799 chairs near the front door. Within a few seconds, I 327 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.680 heard a loud creaking sound from the other chair, as 328 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.359 if someone had sat down to join me. We also 329 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.880 started catching glimpses of movement toward the front of the 330 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.160 house going west to east, thinking that someone was in 331 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.559 the yard. We would frequently go to the window or 332 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.440 open the door. Our house sat on top of a hill, 333 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.000 so someone would have to climb up a steep driveway 334 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.359 in order for us to see them, but that was 335 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.759 never anyone there. We would also see each other pass 336 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.200 by going to a different part of the house, or 337 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.079 even hear our pet names for each other being called out. 338 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.640 When we would question each other, it was always no, 339 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.920 it wasn't me. The house needed some updating and we 340 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.559 had to tackle it on our own. The kitchen was 341 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.000 odd and quirky, so we focused a great deal of 342 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.440 time there. When we removed the cabinets to enlarge the space, 343 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.079 we found two old timey signatures from the original nineteen 344 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.720 sixty nine owner, which I later named mister Grumpy, and 345 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.000 the other was from a man who I believe was 346 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.880 his brother in law. I saw mister Grumpy for the 347 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.599 very first time when I went to enter the workshop 348 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.480 that was attached to the car port. I placed my 349 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.599 hand on the knob of the door, and that's when 350 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.279 I felt that I should turn around. Sure enough, there 351 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.440 he was as a medium I have seen my share 352 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.240 of dead people over the past twenty five years. They 353 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.640 usually come to me to deliver a sweet message for 354 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.279 a loved one, or sometimes to seek help to get 355 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.559 unstuck from their current situation. But this man had a 356 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.640 different message, and it was only for me. He had 357 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.599 a sprinkle of hair, a short sleeved shirt tucked into 358 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.160 his pants, his arms were crossed defiantly, and he had 359 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.440 a big frown on his face. He looked directly at me, 360 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.680 and he made it very clear that he didn't like 361 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.720 that I was living in his house one bet hence 362 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.400 the name mister Grumpy. I knew that he could see me, 363 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.200 and I knew that he knew that I could see 364 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.519 him too. A bit later, we remodeled the tiny laundry 365 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.720 area that was part of the kitchen. I was on 366 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:38.400 a step ladder, leaning over the washing machine to paint 367 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.559 the wall behind it. This is when a huge catcall 368 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.960 whistle reverberated in my left ear. It was so strong 369 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.400 I pitched forward, nearly falling off the ladder. I ran 370 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.640 outside where my husband was working. It wasn't him who whistled. 371 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.039 Soon we had an adorable puppy that was full of 372 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.319 energy and life. As we would discover later, he was 373 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.240 also very to the paranormal. We were enjoying summer on 374 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.720 the patio and our puppy was resting on the lounge 375 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.559 chair when suddenly he hit the ground as if he 376 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.240 was pushed hard. He winced and cried out, but thankfully 377 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.400 he was okay. A month later, in that same spot 378 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.960 and the same chair, I suddenly fell forward onto the concrete, 379 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.960 as if I was pushed. I have no explanation for 380 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.720 the fall. None. Now, our puppy had many toys. A 381 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.799 little plastic soccer ball was one of his favorites. He 382 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:31.559 and I were in the living room and he was 383 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.960 playing with the ball. He had pushed it under a 384 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:36.640 chair and stretched out his front leg to retrieve it, 385 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.039 but it was beyond his reach by a few inches. 386 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:41.839 As he pawed to try to get the ball, the 387 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.079 ball then took action on its own. It rolled out 388 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.960 from under the chair a good three feet, then rolled 389 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.519 back under the chair a good three feet, and then 390 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.839 it rolled back out and returned and rolled back out again. 391 00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.599 By this time, our dog was barking hysterically, and I 392 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.279 was screaming for my husband to come in here right now. 393 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.240 My husband grabbed the ball and placed it in front 394 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.599 of his feet. The ball spiraled around in one place. 395 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.799 The ball is moving, my husband said, the ball is moving. 396 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:13.799 Our new puppy slept in his own bed in the 397 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.279 master bedroom close to the door. One night, we partially 398 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.480 shut the door, leaving it cracked open by a few 399 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.400 inches or so. I closed my eyes to sleep, but 400 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.160 my eyelids wouldn't stay shut for long, something about the door. 401 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.359
