1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: In a small college town in the Midwest. A group

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,160
of roommates moves in expecting a fun summer until something

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,240
unseen makes its presence known. My name is Edwin and

4
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:23,839
he is Brain. It's true scary story.

5
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: This took place in twenty twenty. It was in a

6
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:33,520
little riverside college town in the Midwest. There was five

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,159
of us girls who were just moving into a new

8
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:40,399
college style house. Some of us had already graduated from school,

9
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:42,640
so we were going to just all be there for

10
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:46,719
an extra year, whether that be working or just finishing

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,039
up school. One of the girls of the house that

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:52,920
we were moving into had already lived there for a

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,280
few years and we were all friends with her. Four

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,479
of us moving into the house were brand new, moved

15
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:05,200
in though mid May of twenty twenty. Unfortunately, we had

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,000
left by the beginning of August of twenty twenty, so

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:17,319
it was short lived. Just to understand the story, I

18
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:20,640
will have to lay out what the house looked like.

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,879
It's very important to know what levels, what rooms, everything

20
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,519
makes the story easier to follow. It was a two

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,000
story house. When you walk into the front door, though,

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,079
it was a stairwell that separated the levels, so if

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,879
you went down the hallway straight through the stairwell. It

24
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,200
was a little hallway that led to the basement. The

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,799
basement was just storage, nothing really that important. When you

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,480
walk into the stairwell, directly off to the right, there's

27
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:59,560
another door that leads to the main level, and then

28
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,519
obviously when you walk in, there's a stairwell as well

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,640
that goes up to the upper level that also has

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,719
a door that leads into that top. On the main

31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,280
level there are two bedrooms with its own bathroom and

32
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,120
its own kitchen, and that's also where the main living

33
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:21,039
space is with the living room that we all share. Upstairs,

34
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:25,120
there's also three bedrooms and it does also have its

35
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,479
own bathroom and its own kitchen. How it was all

36
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,520
split off is also very important of who was in

37
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,159
what room. I had leased one of the rooms on

38
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:38,599
the main level of the two and then there was

39
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,080
the other girl who had lived there full time lived

40
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,039
in the other room. Over the summer, I had another

41
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,080
job back in my hometown, so I was going to

42
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,439
be traveling back and forth, so I actually sublet out

43
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:55,199
my room downstairs to someone that I knew for that summer,

44
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,360
just so what it was paid for, and then I

45
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,280
would just come back every once in a while to visit. Upstairs.

46
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,199
There were the three bedrooms, two of them again were

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,680
going to be there full time, and the third roommate

48
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,560
was not going to be there all summer long. So

49
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,719
it worked out that when I would come to visit,

50
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,159
I would just stay in her room, so I had

51
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,039
a place to sleep, stay put my things while I

52
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:31,039
would be visiting. In the beginning mid May, when we

53
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:35,159
had moved in, everything was really fun. It was the

54
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:38,599
beginning of twenty twenty obviously, so COVID was hitting. We

55
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,680
didn't have a lot of options as things too, so

56
00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:45,080
we spent a lot of time together. We watched movies

57
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,759
and played games. One of the girls had access to

58
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,919
the rooftop from their rooms. We would sit out there

59
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:56,520
and listen to music. It started off really well those

60
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,719
first few weeks. The subleazer had moved into my room

61
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,120
at the end of May, so I had gone home

62
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,159
to start my job. A few weeks later, though, I

63
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:09,960
had come back to visit and was staying in the

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,519
room upstairs. The girls had mentioned some weird things happening.

65
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,680
Nothing had really been off. No weird occurrences had happened

66
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,079
with the tenants that lived there before, and we all

67
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,959
knew them, so this was very strange that these things

68
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:39,199
were happening. It started very small that night. All of

69
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,120
their doors were closed, so the two girls that were

70
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,199
living there, as well as the empty room, all of

71
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,120
the doors were closed at night when they would sleep.

72
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,720
The girls stated that when they were sleeping, either trying

73
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,439
to fall asleep or they'd wake up in the middle

74
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:55,439
of the night from it, they would hear humming coming

75
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:02,040
from the hallways. They didn't specifically say if it sounded

76
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,639
like a specific song, random little humming noises that would

77
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,920
be coming from the hallway and then just go away

78
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:16,040
and randomly reappear. The door to the empty room they

79
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,199
did also keep closed. When they would wake up, the

80
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,800
door would always be open. The weird thing about this, though,

81
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,279
was that door was particularly hard to open and close,

82
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:33,959
so it wasn't wind or something we could rationalize off

83
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,240
what would open that besides someone actually physically opening it themselves.

84
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,079
Something that we still don't understand to this day is

85
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,600
that is the only room in the house that has

86
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,319
a padlock on it. I don't know why it was there,

87
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,600
We don't know who had put that on there, and

88
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:57,759
Eventually we did start using it. When the door wouldn't

89
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,720
stop opening, it eventually closing in the middle of the night.

90
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:09,680
At that point, things were still fairly new. We were

91
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,480
rationalizing off those little occurrences that were happening, but it

92
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,480
just felt heavy upstairs. Whenever I'd walk around, I would

93
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,079
creep around the corner first, or walk really slow, like

94
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,879
I felt like I had to establish and see everything

95
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,040
in the space before I would feel comfortable walking into it.

96
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,240
I just was so curious. I felt like something was

97
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:37,439
seriously watching me all the time, no matter what room

98
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:45,720
I was in, bathroom, kitchen. It was bad. One of

99
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:51,800
my first real experiences was while I was taking a shower.

100
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,800
A lot of these events happened so fast, and it's

101
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,959
really hard to always remember the order of operations, but

102
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:07,680
this definitely happened towards the beginning. When I was in

103
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,519
the shower again, it was the same feeling of being watched.

104
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:18,199
I kept looking outside the curtains, and I know sometimes

105
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,639
you do that when you're alone and you're kind of

106
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:25,120
a little paranoid, but I seriously was looking out very frequently,

107
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,639
looking behind me. I felt a little tickle on my neck,

108
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:35,839
but I was again trying to rationalize that, saying, I'm

109
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:40,439
in the shower, the water's running on me, I'm washing

110
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560
my hair. But I tried to end of that shower

111
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,160
as soon as possible. Once I got out. I did

112
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,519
bring up to the two girls that lived upstairs when

113
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,519
they got home, that I took a shower and it

114
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040
felt weird, you know, I felt like something tickled me.

115
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:00,879
But I think I'm just overreacting. They looked at me

116
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,439
and they said, oh, we don't shower alone. If someone's

117
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:10,360
taking a shower in there, they leave the door open,

118
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,279
or someone's sitting on the toilet next to them. Because

119
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,120
when they're in the shower and they're alone or no

120
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,959
one's near them, their hair will move like someone's picking

121
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,480
up their hair, picking at it, or rubbing their back.

122
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:30,639
The shower and this also happens to the sink will

123
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,039
just turn really hot, scolding hot, all of a sudden,

124
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,320
and they'll just kind of jump out of the water.

125
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:44,360
They just will not be alone in that room. Their

126
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,360
reactions when I had told them about the shower, and

127
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:50,240
when they were explaining to me, you know, how they

128
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,919
don't shower without someone with them, it seemed more matter

129
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,720
of fact like it was happening so often that they

130
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,120
were like, duh, why would you shower alone? I was

131
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:04,039
freaked out, and they were freaked out by all of

132
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,519
the occurrences that that was just something that had happened

133
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,519
so often. I think they were just unfortunately used to it.

134
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,600
At that point. We were having a lot of fun together,

135
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:15,000
so we kind of put up with it for a while,

136
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:18,600
and they just brust that off until it started to

137
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:24,879
get worse. This only happened upstairs, so the girls downstairs

138
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:29,000
really didn't experience anything. I'm not quite sure if they

139
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:35,360
believed the girls upstairs, but I did. I experienced it myself.

140
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,000
With all of these things occurring at night, with the humming,

141
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,080
the door opening, we started sleeping with our lights on.

142
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,399
We tried to rationalize that maybe if we left the

143
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,360
lights on, it wouldn't do those things. We tricked to

144
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,200
think we were awake. One of my roommates, in particular, Megan,

145
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:04,399
had the typical college lights, the sticky lights that are

146
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,159
around your ceiling and you have a remote that turns

147
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,960
them on and off and they can change color. The

148
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:15,399
lights would turn off, so you would try to keep

149
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:17,799
the lights on to sleep, but they would just randomly

150
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,240
turn off. She kind of tried to experiment with it

151
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,679
and move the remote that she had under her or sleep,

152
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,440
but then under the bed for some reason, if something's

153
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:36,240
touching it, it can't. So she had done this and

154
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,440
the next morning she woke up and the lights were

155
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,840
turned off, and she had looked and the plug from

156
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:48,279
the wall had actually been ripped out. Something had physically

157
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,480
taken the plug out of the wall. Because it wasn't

158
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:53,559
able to access the remote that she had to turn

159
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,799
the lights off. That also happened in the room I

160
00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:01,080
was staying in. It was controlled by remote, and it

161
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,559
even was happening when we were moving in. We just thought,

162
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,519
all these lights are broken, why do they keep turning off?

163
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:09,879
But we still don't really understand. I guess after all

164
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:12,879
of this, but we think it might be related to

165
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:17,159
what was happening in Megan's room, but we're not quite sure.

166
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,159
At this point. We don't know what's going on. We

167
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,799
have an inkling that it's maybe something messing with us,

168
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,519
but we don't really know. We haven't seen anything. It's

169
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,399
all been things that we've been trying to rationalize. Maybe

170
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:40,960
bad plumbing, maybe bad electrical maybe the house is moving

171
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,799
so the door is opening, But then it started to

172
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:56,000
become more frightening and obvious. My one roommate, Sarah, was

173
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,279
targeted by these scary things a little bit more than others.

174
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,919
One of them was she was up in her room

175
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:14,639
doing homeworks watching TV and she had randomly heard blood

176
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,919
curdling screams coming from downstairs, just horrible screaming. Thought someone

177
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:23,240
was injured, so she ran out of her room, ran

178
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,600
down the stairwell, burst into the living room, and then

179
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,559
went and checked down the roommates to see what was

180
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,399
going on, and both the sub leaser as well as

181
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,960
the other roommate that lived downstairs were both just chilling

182
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:41,720
in their room watching Netflix, not doing anything. No noises, nothing,

183
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,519
So that happened multiple times. You would be upstairs and

184
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,279
just hear noises downstairs and nothing would be there at all.

185
00:13:02,159 --> 00:13:06,960
We all had very vivid dreams as well. I was

186
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,679
staying in the room that had the padlock on it.

187
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,200
It was really hot, so I had a fan on,

188
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,200
I had my laptop up playing some kind of show

189
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,639
on Netflix. I was trying to fall asleep and I

190
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:31,080
did turn the lights off. My leg was sticking out

191
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,639
from under the covers. And it felt like something was

192
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,559
kind of tickling my leg. But again I tried to

193
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:42,360
rationalize maybe it was the wind of the fan with

194
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,200
maybe some leg hairs. I don't know. I tried, and

195
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,639
then all of a sudden, it kind of became like scratched.

196
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:57,039
So I immediately sat up, and I didn't even think to

197
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:58,919
turn on a flashlighter turn on the room lights. I

198
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720
took a picture with the flash. I was going to

199
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:05,600
send it to my friend who was actually leasing that room,

200
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,360
and I was going to send her that picture. And

201
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:12,440
I looked at it and there was a kind of

202
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,519
red scratch mark and a bruise and kind of a

203
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,519
little hole in my leg in that part. I don't

204
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,720
remember there being a bruise there before. I don't remember

205
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:26,159
there being a red mark. It looked like there might

206
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:28,080
have been a scab on my leg that was kind

207
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080
of ripped off. It had scared me enough that I

208
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,720
turned the lights on and was trying to sleep with

209
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,679
the lights on again. Somehow that night I did fall asleep.

210
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:44,799
My first stream was me having a lake day with

211
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:48,840
my family. We were all swimming in the lake. Some

212
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:50,679
of us were outside on the dock, but most of

213
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,200
us were swimming. All of a sudden, the lake had

214
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,720
turned black. Everyone's eyes had turned black, and they just

215
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:02,279
all kind of blank stare and were going underwater. The

216
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,159
family members, including me, who did not do that. They

217
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:09,320
were trying to swim underneath their feet and pull them

218
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,399
under and drown them. And I remember in my dream

219
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,519
taking a T shirt and trying to cover my feet

220
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,840
so like I wouldn't get pulled down. Then all of

221
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,600
a sudden, it snapped and I was in a field.

222
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,080
It was a big, open green, rolling hills field, and

223
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:31,000
I was standing there with a goat that was on

224
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:37,080
its hind legs. Somewhere in this the goat had assaulted me.

225
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:45,840
I then woke up because I had wet the bed.

226
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,240
I have never wet the bed before in my life,

227
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:56,120
adult life, middle school, childhood. I even called my dad

228
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:58,200
to ask, I said, is this a habit that maybe

229
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,519
I'm reverting back to? And he's like, no, you never

230
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,639
did through my college years. Never. Obviously, I was mortified.

231
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,600
This wasn't my bed, so I got up immediately. I

232
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,720
took all of the sheets down to the washing machine.

233
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:16,320
I threw them in, and I called my friend, just

234
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,159
wanting to be transparent and let her know and apologize,

235
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,960
and she said wait wait wait wait wait wait, wait,

236
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:26,200
back up, back up. She said, what was in your dream?

237
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,720
And I had mentioned the dream and she said, Brin,

238
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,840
do you not realize that the goat is an animal

239
00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:40,440
representative of the devil? And I processed that. I said, yeah,

240
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:45,799
you're correct saying that. So from that night on, I

241
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,240
never slept in that room again. I moved all of

242
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,639
my things downstairs and I slept in the living room.

243
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Even in the living room though, even though there was

244
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,000
no really occurrences downstairs, the dogs that were my roommates

245
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,400
would still bark at dark corners randomly. They would bark

246
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,519
at the door that led to the stairwell. They would

247
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:11,079
just bark at it incessantly, at random. Although those things

248
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,079
would happen again, I didn't know if that was just

249
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,200
dogs being dogs, but I felt a lot safer downstairs.

250
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,839
But yeah, after that, Nope, never slept in that room

251
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,880
ever again, and I don't think anyone else has, none

252
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:33,839
of our roommates have. At some point during all of this,

253
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,880
I was at my hometown and Megan, my roommate, had

254
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,559
told her mom, and her mom was concerned enough that

255
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,720
she called the medium to try to come in and

256
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:48,559
see if she could help. When we were telling the

257
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,039
medium about what was happening, she said that it sounded

258
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:56,079
like there might be two things there. She said she

259
00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:59,160
would be willing to help, and she did say I

260
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,440
wanted do a dry by the night before, just to

261
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,920
get a feel for the house before I actually come in.

262
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:10,839
She did a drive by and by the morning she

263
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,960
had blocked all three of their phone numbers and never

264
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,359
got back to us. So at that point we were

265
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,319
kind of just on our own. We also did a

266
00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:23,880
lot of research on the house and couldn't find any

267
00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:27,200
dirt on the house. We couldn't find anything about any

268
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:31,960
kind of weird events, any crimes. The house was right

269
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,480
next to a Lutheran church, so we have no idea

270
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,599
if that had anything to do with it. The house

271
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,759
was also under construction on the external parts of it.

272
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,640
They were doing new windows and new walls, so we

273
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,359
were just trying to grasp that any maybe reason why

274
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:58,440
these things would have happened to us and no one else. Unfortunately,

275
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,599
things did not get any better. They actually got more

276
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:08,160
physical again. I had mentioned that I had a bruise

277
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:14,440
on my leg. Sarah had bruses all over her body.

278
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,279
I even mentioned when I woke up the next morning,

279
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:20,240
look at what's on my leg, and she said, oh,

280
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,599
I have those all over me. So she had bruces

281
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,440
all over her body, all up her legs, her arms.

282
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,680
One weekend, she had left to go camping, and all

283
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,839
of the bruses had gone away. When she came back.

284
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:42,240
Within a few days they were all back. They just

285
00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:45,839
felt something touching them when they would be sleeping, so

286
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:47,920
both of them really didn't get a lot of sleep,

287
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,720
so both of them were kind of just mentally not

288
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,720
there for a few months. Sarah also had an encounter

289
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,400
where she was in her room and she was working

290
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,519
on homework. She had all of her things kind of

291
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:05,759
spread out on the floor. She was just working headdown,

292
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,480
legs cross leaning over, and she had a mirror, a

293
00:20:09,519 --> 00:20:12,599
glass mirror, so not one of the kind of plastic

294
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,759
cheap ones and put over your door. She had a

295
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:20,400
glass mirror that was leaning up against the wall. She

296
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,039
had looked up at one point she saw something moving

297
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,759
and the mirror was actually tipping over onto her and

298
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:31,720
she was able to catch it. If she didn't look

299
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,279
and see it and catch it, it probably would have

300
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:38,519
smashed over her head. The most concerning part of that,

301
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,240
besides her potentially getting injured, was this mirror was leaning

302
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,519
against the wall. If it was to fall, it should

303
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:50,359
have slid. The bottom of it, should have come out

304
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,200
from under it, and should have slid and fell flat.

305
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,359
But it tipped up and over and she had to

306
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:05,240
catch it to stop it. Megan at night had a

307
00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:09,240
few encounters as well of being touched, just like Sarah had.

308
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,759
This first night, it was most vivid for her. She

309
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,640
was laying in bed, obviously, had the lights on, and

310
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:25,960
she could see handprints crawling into her bed on her sheets.

311
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,160
Once they got close enough, she could feel the pressure

312
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:34,400
of the blankets getting tighter around her and on her.

313
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:43,960
That happened more than one occasion. Soon it started actually

314
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:48,519
showing itself, but we still don't know if what this

315
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:56,119
thing really was. Megan one night was asleep. She had

316
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,640
woken up because she heard something in the corner of

317
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,319
her room. She sat up and looked, and there was

318
00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:08,759
a little boy standing in the corner of her room,

319
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,480
just looking at her. She described him maybe as like

320
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:15,839
six years old. Didn't really get enough of a look

321
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,559
to get outfit or anything, but definitely saw a little

322
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:25,240
boy standing in the corner of her room. She looked

323
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,920
away and it wasn't there. The door at the top

324
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:35,079
of the stairwell, it started moving in the middle of

325
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:38,640
the night and opening and closing and knocking. Someone would

326
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,680
be knocking at it, so they would start locking it

327
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,920
when they would be home or when they would be sleeping,

328
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,119
and you'd have to use the key to get into

329
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,319
the upstairs. Even when they locked it, the knocking still continued,

330
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,759
but they started hearing like someone trying to get in

331
00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:01,880
with a key. And one time they actually came home

332
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:09,039
and Sarah had seen some kind of little boy moving

333
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:13,559
around the key that had been in the door, and

334
00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:21,519
then it had gone away. So they had seen this

335
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:26,519
apparition of a little boy multiple times. But again the

336
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:29,079
medium had said that it seems like there might be

337
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,759
multiple things, and these things were scaring us. It was

338
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,920
like meaning to make us feel uncomfortable. So we don't

339
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,680
particularly believe that it might have just been this little

340
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,640
boy trying to mess with us. All of our dreams

341
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,559
and just the horrible feelings we had. It felt like

342
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,119
something might be acting as a little boy, or there

343
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,119
might be multiple things that were there. We filled to

344
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,200
this day I don't really understand why all this happened.

345
00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:07,119
We didn't really talk about it for a long time.

346
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,359
I was honestly hesitant to come on and share it

347
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,880
because the people that lived in there before us never

348
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:23,480
had anything. But ultimately it became so overwhelming and serious

349
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,960
and just ultimately scary. They weren't sleeping, we weren't sleeping.

350
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,079
I wasn't able to be in the house anymore. We

351
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,079
all left the house by the beginning of August. We

352
00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:37,200
were getting sub leasers, and we all had different places

353
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,000
to live. We're still not sure if maybe it followed

354
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,240
one of us into the house. We're not sure if

355
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:50,319
anything continued after that. We felt kind of bad about it,

356
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,720
but it doesn't sound like anything happened to the new sublishers.

357
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:58,000
But we did not disclose anything to the new sub leasers.

358
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,799
It didn't seem like it was targeting the people before,

359
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,279
and we were so desperate to get out. I think

360
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:07,279
they were a little suspicious as to why we were

361
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,400
leaving so fast. I mean I would be, but we

362
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,200
were all able to get subleasers really quick, and we

363
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,880
were able to move out luckily really quick. I don't

364
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,160
think it's followed any of us afterwards. I think we've

365
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,799
all been able to just move on, but we couldn't

366
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:28,839
put up with what was going on. We were too

367
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,279
scared that we did have to leave.

368
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,000
