Speaker 3: I'm Jeb Bowen, and.
Speaker 1: We have our spooky listener story shows for you.
Speaker 2: This week.
Speaker 1: We are so excited. We put out the call a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago for you all to send in
Speaker 1: some scary stories, and gosh, deb, did they ever answer
Speaker 1: the call?
Speaker 3: Did they not?
Speaker 1: We've got some good ones, We've got some spooky, scary ones,
Speaker 1: and we have some really just puzzlers, like what happened there?
Speaker 1: And some of the listeners. DEB asked us to answer
Speaker 1: that question. I don't know that we have answers for
Speaker 1: some of the weird, crazy, cool stuff we're.
Speaker 3: Going to read. Yeah, the answer for many of these
Speaker 3: is I don't know.
Speaker 1: But isn't it fun to ponder? But we will do
Speaker 1: our best. Okay, I'm gonna start us off. If that's
Speaker 1: all right with you.
Speaker 3: It's fine, go right ahead. Okay.
Speaker 1: This story occurred one winter about fifteen years ago, writes
Speaker 1: our first listener. We live in Wisconsin, out in the country.
Speaker 1: We have pine trees that border the perimeter of our property.
Speaker 1: On the other side, we are surrounded by cornfields. When
Speaker 1: my husband and I woke up the morning after a
Speaker 1: fresh snow, we noticed something very strange. There was a
Speaker 1: path of footprints that began in the middle of the
Speaker 1: row of pine trees and walked a direct path towards
Speaker 1: my son's bedroom, who was four years old at the time.
Speaker 1: But these were not usual footprints. They had the outline
Speaker 1: and shape of a foot, but they were much larger
Speaker 1: than the humans. Plus the prince did not have any
Speaker 1: treads or lines on the bottom. It just looked like
Speaker 1: a hole in the snow with a foot or boot
Speaker 1: like outline. The second thing we noticed is that there
Speaker 1: wasn't a return path of prints in the snow. It
Speaker 1: was just one path that began in the pine trees
Speaker 1: and ended at my son's bedroom. Where did this being
Speaker 1: go once it reached his bedroom? They just stopped and disappeared.
Speaker 1: We also looked to see how these footprints were able
Speaker 1: to start from the middle of the row of trees,
Speaker 1: but we couldn't figure it out. There were no footprints
Speaker 1: on the other side of the pine trees, in the
Speaker 1: cornfield or from the road. It's like something dropped out
Speaker 1: of the sky, landed in the trees, and started walking
Speaker 1: one path in our yard towards my son's bedroom. Third,
Speaker 1: and perhaps most confusing, is the stride of the footprints.
Speaker 1: The distance between each step got longer and longer down
Speaker 1: its path, to the point where no human could have
Speaker 1: made that step. When my husband and I went outside,
Speaker 1: we could not match the footprints to a huge human stride,
Speaker 1: not even by us taking our longest jumps. They were
Speaker 1: just too far apart. It wasn't humanly possible to walk
Speaker 1: or even jump between the prints. We just had no answers,
Speaker 1: and we were really spooked. Should we call the police
Speaker 1: and then say what that there are some unexplainable tracks
Speaker 1: in the snow, They would probably say it was an
Speaker 1: animal of some sort. Plus there was never a sign
Speaker 1: of a break in or my son being harmed. It
Speaker 1: happened several times that winter, enough where I remember waking
Speaker 1: up and being afraid to look out the window because
Speaker 1: I did not want to see the footprints, but also
Speaker 1: not consistently enough to set up a trail cam and
Speaker 1: record hours and hours of nightly footage. Maybe part of
Speaker 1: me didn't want to know. Okay, the part where the
Speaker 1: footsteps end at the child's window, that's a spooky hard
Speaker 1: no from me, terrifying.
Speaker 3: Yes it is. My initial reaction to this was okay, bigfoot,
Speaker 3: And then the more I read, the more I thought, no,
Speaker 3: probably not bigfoot. And then, because you know I believe
Speaker 3: in bigfoot, can I just mention that, and then I thought, well, okay,
Speaker 3: so somebody had some way of playing some kind of
Speaker 3: a trick. It was some kind of a joke in
Speaker 3: some sort, But then there would have been footprints from
Speaker 3: whoever was playing the joke, so I dismissed that. So
Speaker 3: the answer is I don't have a clue. It's stories
Speaker 3: like these that make me think just what is truth?
Speaker 3: What is truth? I'm always curious about that. So the
Speaker 3: answer is, I don't have an answer.
Speaker 1: Do you remember in George Knab's book on Skinwalker Ranch,
Speaker 1: he has a whole story in there about people who
Speaker 1: would see a portal open in the sky right above
Speaker 1: the ranch's property and a bigfoot like creature would walk
Speaker 1: out of it.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that chapter?
Speaker 3: Well? Do I?
Speaker 1: Ever, that's what I kept thinking about. I would love
Speaker 1: for her to do some history of what was connected
Speaker 1: to that land, and did anyone else have something.
Speaker 3: Weird like that?
Speaker 1: Or you know, are there any granite locations or courts nearby?
Speaker 1: That's something Dave Polaides always looks for in the missing
Speaker 1: four to one one cases, is the lot of those
Speaker 1: weird sightings are near vast revenues of some type of
Speaker 1: mental deposit.
Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah, right, she's got some O work to do.
Speaker 1: Then, Yes, but I'm glad her son is safe and
Speaker 1: was never bothered or spooped out by it.
Speaker 3: Absolutely most important. Our next one says, this is the
Speaker 3: closest I've ever come to actually seeing a ghost. In
Speaker 3: August two thousand and eight, my father, who had been
Speaker 3: battling cancer for many years, was lying close to death
Speaker 3: in a hospice facility, drifting in and out of consciousness
Speaker 3: as we all waited for the end. One afternoon, my
Speaker 3: brother and I were at my mom's house, sitting on
Speaker 3: the couch in the living room. As I looked out
Speaker 3: the front window, I saw what appeared to be the
Speaker 3: shadow of a person moving across the front yard towards
Speaker 3: the attached garage. It was as if the sun were
Speaker 3: casting the shadow on the grass, but there wasn't anyone
Speaker 3: there to have a shadow. My brother gasped, did you
Speaker 3: see that? I said, yes, if someone outside. He got
Speaker 3: up and went out to the garage and looked around.
Speaker 3: A minute later, he returned, shaking his head. No one
Speaker 3: was there. We both sat back down with puzzled looks
Speaker 3: on our faces, thinking of my dad, who had always
Speaker 3: entered the house from the garage instead of the front door.
Speaker 3: I half expected the phone to ring with news of
Speaker 3: his passing. It did not, and he lingered in a
Speaker 3: coma for a few more days. I have since heard
Speaker 3: the theory that people near death will start to leave
Speaker 3: their bodies for short periods, and I've often wondered if
Speaker 3: the shadow we saw were my father coming home one
Speaker 3: last time. Well, first of all, I'm so sorry about
Speaker 3: your dad. My dad too late in a coma for
Speaker 3: a while before he died, and I know how that
Speaker 3: felt to us. Yes, there's lots of evidence out there
Speaker 3: that folks leave their bodies and check in on family.
Speaker 3: They have family members who come from across the veil
Speaker 3: to help them across. I recently had a lovely friend
Speaker 3: who a few days before he died. He was unconscious,
Speaker 3: but every once in a while he would giggle and laugh,
Speaker 3: and we all believed that he probably had folks from
Speaker 3: the other side coming to help him cross over. My
Speaker 3: thought in listening to this story is, Yeah, I would
Speaker 3: not be at all surprised if this wasn't just your
Speaker 3: dad's way of coming to home one more time before
Speaker 3: it was time to actually go. That's my take on.
Speaker 1: This, I think they all do that. I think they
Speaker 1: all visit the people that were nearest and dearest to
Speaker 1: them before they leave this earth one last time physically.
Speaker 1: Remember when I was taking care of all the kids
Speaker 1: at my house when my mother in law was dying
Speaker 1: and her kids and her husband were doing a vigil
Speaker 1: around her bed at the hospital, and I saw Maggie
Speaker 1: and I called my ex husband and I said, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry, and he said, yeah, we're all doing okay.
Speaker 1: She's okay. And I said, oh, I thought she just passed.
Speaker 1: I just saw her in the bedroom and he said, no,
Speaker 1: she's still here. And I felt that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just felt really weird about it, you know, And
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I hung up the phone, And ten
Speaker 1: minutes later he called and said she passed, right. And
Speaker 1: then remember two weeks ago, I called you my friend
Speaker 1: was dying and I thought she had died because I
Speaker 1: had that dream where she hugged me and said, look
Speaker 1: my hair's back, right. Yeah, and she had not passed.
Speaker 1: She passed a couple of days later. And you said
Speaker 1: exactly what this listener was saying, that she was visiting, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh beautiful all right our next one says, I work
Speaker 1: in government, so this is not my real name. Just
Speaker 1: call me Doug. I've been active as a psychic medium
Speaker 1: for ten years and was asked by a mentor if
Speaker 1: I would like to join her on a trip to
Speaker 1: Skinwalker Ranch for a TV show she was doing a
Speaker 1: few years prior. I had read a book about the Ranch,
Speaker 1: so I knew it was a site associated with the
Speaker 1: dark side of the paranormal UFOs and more. Not remembering
Speaker 1: how scary some of those stories were, I immediately replied
Speaker 1: that yes, I'd love to go along. Perhaps most awfully,
Speaker 1: some researchers children have been impacted by serious mental health
Speaker 1: issues after their parents' return. Getting out my old books
Speaker 1: about the ranch and reading reviews of other books, I
Speaker 1: was reminded how bizarre and at times terrifying the reports were.
Speaker 1: One reviewer noted that people have suffered an array of
Speaker 1: lasting health consequences, including radiation exposure, from their time on
Speaker 1: the ranch. So I purchased a new book on Skinwalker Ranch.
Speaker 1: As I delved into it, I started to get the
Speaker 1: feeling that I should entirely stay away from this topic
Speaker 1: and the sight. Needing a break from the book, I
Speaker 1: put it down, knowing that it was time to take
Speaker 1: the dog outside before bed. Standing outside under a cloudy,
Speaker 1: windy sky, I thought to myself that no trip to
Speaker 1: a ranch would ever be worth endangering my family's health.
Speaker 1: The dog and I turned around to go inside as
Speaker 1: I contemplated abandoning the entire endeavor. As I did so,
Speaker 1: I had a clear view into our thirteen year old's room.
Speaker 1: It looked, for just a moment, like he had hung
Speaker 1: himself from the ceiling and my wife had found him there. Fortunately,
Speaker 1: as I better focus my eyes on the scene, I
Speaker 1: realized that he was just standing on his bed and
Speaker 1: his mom was simply hugging him good night. Still, however,
Speaker 1: the mere suggestion and glimpse of such a horrific situation
Speaker 1: absolutely terrified me. Entering the house, I wanted to consult
Speaker 1: my Touro deck. Note that I was using just the
Speaker 1: major arcana for this. I greeted the cards like old friends,
Speaker 1: shuffled the deck numerous times, pulled one card and placed
Speaker 1: it face down in front of me. A reversed card
Speaker 1: would tell me that no, I should not read any
Speaker 1: more of the book. I flipped the card over the
Speaker 1: hanged man reversed. This was terrifying. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: The hanged Man is a card that rarely, if ever
Speaker 1: comes up for me. I get chills again just writing this.
Speaker 1: I would immediately dispose of the book, I told myself
Speaker 1: before he did so, I wanted to draw one last card,
Speaker 1: so I returned the Hangman to the deck, shuffled again
Speaker 1: for a minute or so, and drew one last card
Speaker 1: to ask if I shouldn't go on the trip. A
Speaker 1: card in the upright position would mean yes, don't go
Speaker 1: on the trip. I drew the card, put it face down,
Speaker 1: took a breath, and flipped it the hanged Man right
Speaker 1: side up, absolutely horrifying. With that, I knew I would
Speaker 1: not just destroy the book and abandon the trip to
Speaker 1: the ranch, but that I would also end my interest
Speaker 1: in the ranch and leave it alone forever. Finally, I
Speaker 1: took a few deep breaths, stood up, and prayed for
Speaker 1: all of this to pass. I asked the Creator and
Speaker 1: my angels for protection. After a few minutes, I felt
Speaker 1: good and confident in my decision. Then I returned to
Speaker 1: my deck. I'd flip one last card and see what
Speaker 1: it told me. It was my old friend, my card,
Speaker 1: the one that always appears for me, the magician. Upright,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I thought, I'm good. Now my family is
Speaker 1: good too. Whoa dab? What do you think about that?
Speaker 3: Do you remember when Joel bought the Skinwalker Ranch book? Yeah,
Speaker 3: he started reading it and he got to page forty nine, Yes,
Speaker 3: and he stopped, and he gave the book to me.
Speaker 3: And he didn't tell me that he had stopped at
Speaker 3: page forty nine. He just said, I think you need
Speaker 3: to read this before we go any further. So I
Speaker 3: opened the book and I started reading, and I got
Speaker 3: to page forty nine, and I stopped, and I said,
Speaker 3: I'm bringing this book back to you, he said, And
Speaker 3: then I'm going to destroy the book. I do it.
Speaker 1: Totally forgot that last part of the story. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: absolutely true.
Speaker 3: I get this fella's perspective on all of this. Now.
Speaker 3: You know, since then, the investigation at the Ranch has
Speaker 3: turned to being much more scientific based. If you follow
Speaker 3: the new series on the History Channel with Travis what's
Speaker 3: his name and Eric Eric and those guys. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: much more science based and not nearly as paranormal based,
Speaker 3: although there are certainly still UFO's UAPs in the sky
Speaker 3: these days, and even on the TV things.
Speaker 1: Well, one of the team members had some health issues,
Speaker 1: remember they did.
Speaker 3: And there have been cases where Travis has aborted experiments
Speaker 3: and has had everybody get out of there because of
Speaker 3: spikes and radiation and this, that and the other. So
Speaker 3: a lot of things continue to happen. But it's more
Speaker 3: science oriented than spooky oriented, if you I'm not maybe
Speaker 3: making that there, No, I agree, but that's more of
Speaker 3: what it is. However, back to this fellow's story here.
Speaker 3: First of all, I cannot tell you how many times
Speaker 3: I have said this sentence over the years to my students.
Speaker 3: I don't trust me, but I trust he wrote, and
Speaker 3: I mean that. And his relationship with the keys in
Speaker 3: his deck are clearly pretty strong. And that symbolism of
Speaker 3: the hangedman to him very deeply resonated with him, and
Speaker 3: he trusted it. And I have to applaud him for
Speaker 3: that percent and that He's clearly not somebody who's new
Speaker 3: to Row. So that's another thing, because new folks can
Speaker 3: get off track, I think, with cards. But clearly he
Speaker 3: is not so good for him. I'm glad the magician
Speaker 3: showed up to reinforce his decision.
Speaker 2: Who okay, and glad he trusted his intuition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great story, Okay, go ahead, all right. My husband
Speaker 3: and I had gone to stay at a friend's place out
Speaker 3: in the woods. Their road is steep and secluded, with
Speaker 3: only two houses at the bottom and thick trees arching
Speaker 3: over everything. That night, someone we didn't want to see
Speaker 3: was outside, so instead of going in, we parked at
Speaker 3: the end of the gravel road, by the other house,
Speaker 3: which sat empty. My husband sat in the driver's street,
Speaker 3: scrolling on his phone while I journaled, then drifted off
Speaker 3: with my head against the window. In the gray light
Speaker 3: of early morning, I slipped into that hazy state between
Speaker 3: dreaming and waking. Suddenly I had the distinct sense of
Speaker 3: being watched from somewhere outside of myself. I felt an
Speaker 3: almost soul a presence leaning over my window, staring down
Speaker 3: at me. It was very tall and unnaturally pale, dressed
Speaker 3: in black. Its face was oval and blank, with dark,
Speaker 3: jagged lips and wide, unblinking eyes. The features were stark,
Speaker 3: almost two dimensional, as if sketched in shadows. It hunched closer, curious,
Speaker 3: peering in. I convinced myself it was a dream until
Speaker 3: the screech of tires yanked me back. My husband had
Speaker 3: thrown the car into reverse and was speeding us towards
Speaker 3: the highway. At first I thought he was just angry
Speaker 3: about something, but when I looked at him, his face
Speaker 3: was pale with fear. All he said was you won't
Speaker 3: believe me. I don't want to talk about it. I pressed,
Speaker 3: and finally he admitted he awakened to see a tall,
Speaker 3: dark figure bent over my window, staring in. He described
Speaker 3: the same face as I had seen, except from his
Speaker 3: vantage point. The thing actually turned to look at him
Speaker 3: before disappearing into the woods. What shook us both was
Speaker 3: that we'd experienced the same presence from different angles. I
Speaker 3: had brushed it off as the nightmare, but hearing him
Speaker 3: describe what I saw down to the details of its face,
Speaker 3: confirmed that it wasn't just me. The experience has never
Speaker 3: left me. Was it a guardian, a trickster, a signpost
Speaker 3: on the path I was just beginning to walk. I
Speaker 3: still don't know. I even found out that there was
Speaker 3: also a well nearby, old and abandoned, but could it
Speaker 3: have been a portal? It's the reason I found your podcast,
Speaker 3: and the reason I keep listening, hoping to understand a
Speaker 3: little more about the mysteries awaiting just beyond the veil.
Speaker 3: Oh Lord, I don't think we have all the answers.
Speaker 3: Please don't think we do. We have just as many
Speaker 3: questions as you all do. And so with that in mind,
Speaker 3: I don't think we can answer what you saw either.
Speaker 3: I do believe, as the ratio said in one of
Speaker 3: Shakespeare's plays, there is more to heaven and earth than
Speaker 3: we can ever know. I'm not quoting that verbatim, but
Speaker 3: that's the idea. And I think it's true that there
Speaker 3: are so many aspects to this world in which we
Speaker 3: live that they are just are not answers. You know what.
Speaker 1: I always tell myself though, because sometimes I feel bad
Speaker 1: when people come to us with questions and we don't
Speaker 1: have the answers. Yah, I remind myself. At least we created,
Speaker 1: I hope, a safe place for us all to ask
Speaker 1: these questions together and to feel comfortable sharing stories like this.
Speaker 3: That's true, that's a good point. I feel bad. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: I don't have all the answers. I don't have all
Speaker 3: the questions.
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, it could be a guardian, it could
Speaker 1: be a trickster. The fact that they were both so
Speaker 1: scared it tells me all I need to know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just a fascinating experience, and it makes me think,
Speaker 1: when we do have those sleep paralysis moments, is it
Speaker 1: really sleep paralysis?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm glad though, that he had it too.
Speaker 1: I'm not glad for him that he had it, but
Speaker 1: I'm glad for her that they both had it together,
Speaker 1: because otherwise they would have just felt silly that they
Speaker 1: had that experience on their own, like, no one's gonna
Speaker 1: believe me, right, Okay. Our next one says, in nineteen eighty,
Speaker 1: my dad rented a house from an old lady named Annie.
Speaker 1: My dad was a farm worker and didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of money. He had a wife and three kids
Speaker 1: to support. He heard about a house which, for some reason,
Speaker 1: couldn't keep renters because it was allegedly haunted. My dad
Speaker 1: had a sixth sense and had seen ghosts all his
Speaker 1: life and wasn't afraid of them, so he decided to
Speaker 1: rent the house. Two hundred dollars a month was super cheap.
Speaker 1: We lived there until Annie died in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1: Annie became our good friend. She would often joke with
Speaker 1: us and say, I'll be darned these ghosts like you guys. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm the oldest and the one who inherited my dad's
Speaker 1: sixth sense. Throughout the years living there, I saw a
Speaker 1: woman in the closet. My parents room had a closet
Speaker 1: where I would see the women standing or sometimes sitting
Speaker 1: on their bed, but always by the closet. She wore
Speaker 1: white clothes with a white veil, and once I looked
Speaker 1: at her face, she had holes where the eyes should
Speaker 1: have been. I screamed. Another time, my mom ran to
Speaker 1: the store and left my little sister asleep in her room.
Speaker 1: My mom asked me to watch my sister for twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: My little sister was crying and I was afraid to
Speaker 1: go into the room because I didn't want to see
Speaker 1: the lady. Suddenly I heard my little sister laughing. I
Speaker 1: peeked in the room and saw the lady's back to
Speaker 1: the door. She was entertaining my little sister. I ran
Speaker 1: to the backyard and waited for my mom to get
Speaker 1: home and tell her all about it. We told Annie,
Speaker 1: and she said she rented the house once to a
Speaker 1: man who had locked his wife in the closet, and
Speaker 1: she died there.
Speaker 2: My mom and her.
Speaker 1: Sisters said prayers for her soul, and lit candles and
Speaker 1: cleansed the room with holy water and other things, and
Speaker 1: we never saw her again. Oh, I bet they helped
Speaker 1: her cross over. Another thing I remember vividly was one
Speaker 1: day when I looked out the kitchen window, which faced
Speaker 1: the backyard, I saw little dwarfs running on the fence playing.
Speaker 1: One even came to the window and said boo and
Speaker 1: walked away laughing. I heard and saw a lot more
Speaker 1: things than the rest of my family, but all of them,
Speaker 1: at one point or another, saw or heard things as well.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we felt hands touching us, or whispers in our ears,
Speaker 1: knocks on the wall. We would see shadows of cats
Speaker 1: or dogs running. When we had family over, they would
Speaker 1: almost always experience a ghost encounter of some kind. We
Speaker 1: learned to live with the ghost and weren't afraid of them.
Speaker 1: We left the house in nineteen ninety six because Annie
Speaker 1: died and her son kicked us out of the home.
Speaker 1: Since then, it's been sold many times and has had
Speaker 1: many renters. Maybe Annie was right and the ghost liked us.
Speaker 3: I believe She's right about that.
Speaker 1: That sounds like, what are those thin places on earth
Speaker 1: where it's not just one ghost, like the soul of
Speaker 1: this poor woman haunting the place. But you know how
Speaker 1: there's just some homes or some plots of land that
Speaker 1: tend to attract a lot of paranormal activity. I call
Speaker 1: those thin places where those different dimensions can bump into
Speaker 1: each other. But how wonderful that the whole family had
Speaker 1: an attitude about it, like, well, yep, there's a ghost,
Speaker 1: there's a dwarf, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 3: It's like my friend Joyce and for relationship with her ghost,
Speaker 3: whose name was Helen. She and Helen were very good
Speaker 3: friends and when job home and go visit Joyce that
Speaker 3: they would talk to Helen like she was They could
Speaker 3: see her sitting in front of them. You know, it
Speaker 3: was awesome.
Speaker 2: Joyce is always fun.
Speaker 1: If you guys go on our Facebook page, you'll see
Speaker 1: a video I posted of deb at her beautiful wonderful
Speaker 1: book opening reception party for Crafting The Will of the Year,
Speaker 1: and Joyce makes a debut appearance.
Speaker 3: She does. Indeed, our sweet Joyce, I know, I love it. Okay.
Speaker 3: Our next one says, I've had several sleep paralysis experiences
Speaker 3: over the years, sometimes with what felt like a heavy
Speaker 3: glob rolling on top of me with a lot of pressure,
Speaker 3: or figure standing at my bedside, but this is the
Speaker 3: one I always think back to. I was in bed,
Speaker 3: trying to fall asleep, laying on my side, and suddenly
Speaker 3: felt like someone cuddled up against my back, who placing
Speaker 3: an arm over and around my waist, perhaps with a
Speaker 3: hand placed on my solar plexi of chakra. Then it
Speaker 3: felt like their mouth was right up against my ear
Speaker 3: and started whispering in a deep voice in a language
Speaker 3: I couldn't understand, almost like light language or gibberish. At first,
Speaker 3: I panicked and tried to move, but when I couldn't,
Speaker 3: I just started repeating I am Love. Then it all
Speaker 3: stopped and I was able to move. I woke up
Speaker 3: the next morning thinking it was weird that I had
Speaker 3: just rolled over and gone back to sleep right after
Speaker 3: something so strange happened, and wondered if it happened at all.
Speaker 3: I was sound asleep and woke startled, and sitting on
Speaker 3: the side of my bed was a glowing, beautiful blonde woman.
Speaker 3: She was just smiling down at me with a loving presence,
Speaker 3: and I felt a sense of peace. Then I slump
Speaker 3: back down and went back to sleep. The next morning,
Speaker 3: I woke thinking it was strange and wishing I could
Speaker 3: have had the sense to ask who she was, questioning
Speaker 3: myself if it happened at all, but it felt so real.
Speaker 3: I also thought it was weird that she looked just
Speaker 3: as I pictured a fairy character in a book series
Speaker 3: I had been reading. So I summed it up to
Speaker 3: my imagination or a dream, but still wondered if it
Speaker 3: was an angel or a spirit guide checking in. Then
Speaker 3: years later, I was listening to a podcast and they
Speaker 3: were talking about alien visitations and how sometimes it will
Speaker 3: take on comforting forms from your memory so as not
Speaker 3: to scare you. Well, this sounds like several different experiences
Speaker 3: over a period of time, if I'm reading that correctly.
Speaker 1: So Ever, she had this one experience of this thing
Speaker 1: spooning her and whispering something in an unknown language, and
Speaker 1: then she repeated I am love and fell back asleep,
Speaker 1: and when she woke up she saw this glowing being
Speaker 1: sitting on her bed. I think that there are things
Speaker 1: that happened to us when we're sleeping, and I think
Speaker 1: they are stealing our energy. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I think there are energy vampires, so to speak. And
Speaker 1: I think when she kept repeating I am love, I
Speaker 1: think an angel of love came to protect her. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's how I'm going to view it. I don't want
Speaker 1: to view it as aliens disguising themselves as angels. I
Speaker 1: don't like to think about that.
Speaker 3: I don't either. I'm not going there either. I do, however,
Speaker 3: wonder about the connection with our minds will take something
Speaker 3: we've read about or heard or seen on television or
Speaker 3: whatever during the day, and it gets transferred into some
Speaker 3: kind of dream like state or hypnagogic state as we're
Speaker 3: going to sleep. I do wonder about that. And she
Speaker 3: mentions that with the fairy character she had been reading about.
Speaker 1: Well, our brain can only create images that we have
Speaker 1: seen in our life experience. So maybe we can't take
Speaker 1: in the full visage of an angel because we've never
Speaker 1: seen seen it, and so the brain recreated what was
Speaker 1: protecting her in the form that she had seen, at
Speaker 1: least in her mind's eye from reading this book.
Speaker 3: I will accept that theory at the moment, but I
Speaker 3: am and I know you are too, taking a deep
Speaker 3: dive into the field of needic sciences. That's going to
Speaker 3: put the idea of the brain thinking in a whole
Speaker 3: different perspective. But we'll come back to that in another episode,
Speaker 3: I imagine.
Speaker 1: Well, either way, it's a good reminder that when we
Speaker 1: just pray for protection or focus on love and light.
Speaker 2: That's what we get.
Speaker 1: That's true, and it's a good reminder to just keep
Speaker 1: that always at the forefront of our mind and our hearts,
Speaker 1: to focus on love and light and peace, and we'll
Speaker 1: call that into our field and be protected.
Speaker 3: I think that's true. I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Our next one says my parents started renting out my
Speaker 1: grandparents home shortly after my grandmother went into a nursing home.
Speaker 1: My parents took ownership of the home as they wanted
Speaker 1: to keep it in the family for as long as
Speaker 1: they could. My father has emotional attachment to the home
Speaker 1: as this was where he grew up. My grandfather passed
Speaker 1: away about fifteen years ago, and my grandmother, although still
Speaker 1: quite young, needed to be moved into a nursing home
Speaker 1: due to developing advanced Alzheimer's. I just want to mention
Speaker 1: that my husband and I lived in the house for
Speaker 1: about two years after my grandmother moved out, and we
Speaker 1: did not experience any paranormal events. I am quite intuitive
Speaker 1: and can say that nothing spooky or out of the
Speaker 1: ordinary happened while we were living there. I also spent
Speaker 1: quite a bit of time at the home while growing up,
Speaker 1: and it was always a place of love. Shortly after
Speaker 1: my husband and I moved out, new tenants moved into
Speaker 1: the home. They had only lived there for about a
Speaker 1: month when the paranormal events started happening. The couple living
Speaker 1: in the basement stated that they were sleeping one night
Speaker 1: when they heard really loud footsteps heading towards their bedroom door.
Speaker 1: The footsteps were loud enough to wake them both out
Speaker 1: of a de sleep. The bedroom doors suddenly swung open,
Speaker 1: and no one was on the other side of the door. Terrified,
Speaker 1: they called my father the next day, since he still
Speaker 1: owned the home. They mentioned what had happened, and my
Speaker 1: father ended up telling them that the house was not
Speaker 1: haunted to his knowledge, and it was likely his father
Speaker 1: checking on his home. He assured them that he was
Speaker 1: a gentle, harmless man, although he could sometimes be a
Speaker 1: bit of a prankster. Shortly after this event, occurred, their
Speaker 1: pet camera picked up motion in the kitchen, along with
Speaker 1: an apparition that resembled my grandfather's figure. The tenin upstairs
Speaker 1: didn't hear footsteps, but saw an orb floating in her
Speaker 1: pet camera around her living room. This occurred on a
Speaker 1: few occasions. She only decided to check her camera since
Speaker 1: her dog appeared to be barking at nothing while moving
Speaker 1: its head around and acting quite strange. The interesting thing
Speaker 1: is that these strange events continued to occur for a
Speaker 1: while until my grandmother passed away this year. Believed that
Speaker 1: he was likely anxious about having new strange people in
Speaker 1: his home and was waiting to cross over with my grandmother.
Speaker 1: My grandparents were attached at the hip, and we believe
Speaker 1: he was there watching over her in the nursing home
Speaker 1: when decided to take a break from spooking up the
Speaker 1: tenants in the home. I will finish this off by
Speaker 1: stating that the tenants who are all previous skeptics are
Speaker 1: skeptics no more. Oh, I love that that's actually a
Speaker 1: good haunting story because it's not even really a haunting.
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent agree with this listener. I think
Speaker 1: that he loved his wife. He was worried about his home,
Speaker 1: but he was mostly worried about her, and he wanted
Speaker 1: to be there with her throughout that entire experience until
Speaker 1: she was ready to cross. And then look, all the
Speaker 1: strange stuff stopped when they both crossed over together.
Speaker 3: I love this story. There was an Indian Avatarka's name
Speaker 3: was Maha Baba, and Baba said that in addition to
Speaker 3: being the person who gave us don't worry, be happy,
Speaker 3: the other thing that I love so much that Boba
Speaker 3: said was love alone prevails. And I so believe that
Speaker 3: to be true. And I think that's exactly what this
Speaker 3: story says, is that there was such love and caring
Speaker 3: that it transcended the veil and so many other aspects
Speaker 3: of relationship and time and space. I do too.
Speaker 1: I remember one of the first readings I did, a
Speaker 1: woman came to me and her husband had passed away
Speaker 1: pretty young, in his sixties, and she was really really
Speaker 1: missing him. And when I connected with his energy, he
Speaker 1: showed me a really cool symbol. It was two paper
Speaker 1: maps on a floor of different you know, maps, different places,
Speaker 1: and he had a foot on each map, and I heard,
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep a foot in both worlds until
Speaker 1: she's ready.
Speaker 3: To join me.
Speaker 1: I know, I just really loved that idea. And then
Speaker 1: years later, I was doing a reading for a good friend.
Speaker 2: Of mine who lost her father.
Speaker 1: And I always liked to ask people like, you know,
Speaker 1: what are you doing in heaven? Where do you live?
Speaker 1: What's it look like? I always like to ask those questions.
Speaker 1: And he showed me a condo and he said, this
Speaker 1: is temporary housing until my wife can join me here.
Speaker 1: And so I just love stories like that because they
Speaker 1: remind us that love really is eternal, absolutely, and at
Speaker 1: least these prior tenants are no longer skeptics. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: listening to our show right now, deb.
Speaker 3: I hope so okay. Our next one says I was
Speaker 3: about thirteen and my friend and I were at a
Speaker 3: weekend retreat with my church. It was a camp in
Speaker 3: the Pisconnectional Forest and was lots of fun. The camp
Speaker 3: was founded in nineteen fifty two and was a fun
Speaker 3: retreat center for several years. My friend and I had
Speaker 3: spent the weekend there and it was our final night
Speaker 3: and the camp was throwing a dance in the mess hall.
Speaker 3: We'd been there a couple of hours when I needed
Speaker 3: to head back to our cabin to use the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Cab that had four rooms. One room had several bunks,
Speaker 3: which was the room in which we stayed, and the
Speaker 3: other three were smaller rooms with two or three beds.
Speaker 3: My friend and I were in very goofy moods and
Speaker 3: acting quite silly as we busted into the cabin, screaming
Speaker 3: about how badly we had to pee. My friend went
Speaker 3: to our bucks to sit and do something while I
Speaker 3: ran towards the bathroom, unbuckling my overalls and they fell
Speaker 3: to my knees as I barreled towards the bathroom, yelling
Speaker 3: I'm about to pee myself. As I ran past one
Speaker 3: of the rooms, I sent someone was in there and
Speaker 3: glanced over and saw a girl sitting on a chair crying.
Speaker 3: She looked hazy as I ran past. I immediately felt
Speaker 3: so embarrassed that I not only was acting like a
Speaker 3: wing nut and haouncing my need to pee, but that
Speaker 3: I was acting like that when someone else was clearly
Speaker 3: very sad and suffering alone in their room while a
Speaker 3: fun dance was happening. I got very quiet in the
Speaker 3: bathroom to decide if I should stop in and check
Speaker 3: on the girl. I thought it was a girl from
Speaker 3: our youth group who was typically very tough and stoic,
Speaker 3: and I was debating in my mind if I said something,
Speaker 3: if I would make it worse, or it might be
Speaker 3: just what she needed. As I quietly walked back towards
Speaker 3: my room, relying on my gut to know what to do,
Speaker 3: I was surprised to see the door now shut. I
Speaker 3: went into our bunk to tell my friend how embarrassed
Speaker 3: I was and asking if she heard anyone leave. My
Speaker 3: friend got completely freaked out and said it gave her chills.
Speaker 3: She said absolutely no one had walked out while we'd
Speaker 3: been in there. I asked her if she heard anyone
Speaker 3: crying or heard a door shut, and she hadn't. I
Speaker 3: told her I was really worried about the girl, but
Speaker 3: didn't want to embarrass her and ask her to go
Speaker 3: check on her before we left the cabin. My friend
Speaker 3: begrudgingly decided to go check. She got to the door
Speaker 3: and knocked and said hello. As she opened the door
Speaker 3: to the girl's room, to her horror, the room was
Speaker 3: completely empty. We were suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of
Speaker 3: dread and urgency to get out of that cabin. We
Speaker 3: ran out and straight to the mess hall to find
Speaker 3: the girl we thought was crying. She was happy as
Speaker 3: could be, dancing with her friends and looking very confused.
Speaker 3: When we asked if she was okay, she said, of course,
Speaker 3: what's wrong. We told her the story, and she got
Speaker 3: completely freaked out, insisting she was never in the cabin.
Speaker 3: Her friends all confirmed that she had never left the
Speaker 3: mess hall. At this point, we were anxious and still
Speaker 3: overwhelmed with a sense of urgency to get help, so
Speaker 3: we decided to talk to our camp counselors. One of
Speaker 3: the counselors, who had worked at the camp for years,
Speaker 3: went on to explain to us that the building we
Speaker 3: were in had a fire many years prior, and that
Speaker 3: a couple of campers had died in the fire. I
Speaker 3: became overwhelmed with sadness for the girl I saw crying.
Speaker 3: As we learned this, our youth advisers encouraged us to
Speaker 3: say a group prayer for the lives lost. After we
Speaker 3: did that, I was filled with a sense of peace
Speaker 3: and resolve. I wonder if that counselor made the story
Speaker 3: up about the fire, but whatever the case, I know
Speaker 3: what I saw, and I was thankful for being able
Speaker 3: to give her some comfort or peace that night despite
Speaker 3: the circumstances. Well, oh, dear, Well, One thing I really
Speaker 3: want the person who wrote this to us to know
Speaker 3: is that I don't doubt she saw the girl in
Speaker 3: the cab, And could it have been a ghost under
Speaker 3: some other circumstances, not necessarily a fire. We will never know.
Speaker 3: But what's really lovely about all of this is that
Speaker 3: whatever the reason for the apparition, the response was to
Speaker 3: send up prayers for that person, and however that was done.
Speaker 3: I think that's a lovely thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, I do too, because that's really what we should
Speaker 1: do at any time we see anyone in distress or
Speaker 1: stuck or crossed over.
Speaker 2: It could be a stone tape ghost too, you know.
Speaker 2: Those imprint hauntings.
Speaker 3: Could be absolutely I've certainly seen imprint hauntings in places
Speaker 3: over the years, and that Joel and I have done so.
Speaker 1: Yes, But you're absolutely right, that's the response is to
Speaker 1: just send up some prayers, all right.
Speaker 2: Our next one.
Speaker 1: Says, in the summer of twenty twenty two, my family
Speaker 1: and I thirty four of us total, traveled to Ireland
Speaker 1: for a family tour.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Forty four who organized that. Can you imagine, deb.
Speaker 3: No, I would not want to go.
Speaker 2: Do you have thirty four family members you love?
Speaker 3: Did not want to travel with one?
Speaker 1: For nights there, we stayed at Kenitty Castle. Of course,
Speaker 1: the staff talked about hauntings, so we decided to investigate.
Speaker 1: That evening, my cousin and I were walking through their
Speaker 1: events space, pretending to be real ghost hunters, said if
Speaker 1: there are any ghosts, make yourselves known. As I'm filming,
Speaker 1: you can clearly see dust flying in the air, but
Speaker 1: as soon as I say make yourself known, an orb
Speaker 1: comes flying straight to me. Unfortunately, that was our only
Speaker 1: spooky experience we caught on tape. But another creepy thing
Speaker 1: happened on that trip. All the cousins walked down a
Speaker 1: path to a ring of standing stones. My oldest sister
Speaker 1: lectured us on fairies before we went. She was very
Speaker 1: serious about our safety, to the point we had to
Speaker 1: use fake names. She said that if a fairy knows
Speaker 1: your name, they can attach to you, or something bad
Speaker 1: could happen. We had to cross a bridge over a
Speaker 1: creek to get to the stones. After investigating and not
Speaker 1: seeing anything, we went to leave, but my sister wasn't
Speaker 1: ready and called out her husband's name to ask him
Speaker 1: to wait. We reminded her about the fairies and his
Speaker 1: real name that she had just yelled. We had a
Speaker 1: good laugh and began to walk back. As we turned
Speaker 1: the corner to cross the bridge, a blo black cat
Speaker 1: was standing on the side of the bridge waiting for us.
Speaker 1: It walked us over the bridge and then went back
Speaker 1: to wait for my sister and her husband. Because she
Speaker 1: wouldn't leave until she said a Celtic prayer protection, it
Speaker 1: stayed and walked them across the bridge and then ran
Speaker 1: off into the woods. I do believe in fairies, but
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much I believe about them attaching
Speaker 1: to people. I will say though, that out of all
Speaker 1: thirty two of us, my sister and her husband were
Speaker 1: the only two that experienced multiple flight delays on their
Speaker 1: way back to the US, followed by having to drive
Speaker 1: from New York to DC because of a canceled flight,
Speaker 1: and then both of them coming down with COVID as
Speaker 1: soon as they got home. So maybe that prayer didn't
Speaker 1: work as well as expected. What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: I love the idea of the black cat escorting them
Speaker 1: across the bridge. I was thinking something else was gonna
Speaker 1: you know, the whole myth and lore around a black
Speaker 1: cat that you and I do not ascribe to. But
Speaker 1: he was almost like a guardian.
Speaker 3: You know. Yes, fairies are mischief, and yes there are
Speaker 3: lots of stories about tricks and things that fairies pull
Speaker 3: on people, and this, that and the other. I've never
Speaker 3: heard of the need of having to use fake names. No,
Speaker 3: I've never asked for protection from fairies. But that's just me.
Speaker 3: I guess I think we'll just all coexist in harmony
Speaker 3: and it'll all be okay. In fact, even in the
Speaker 3: yard in which I used to live, I had a
Speaker 3: space in the yard that was left wild for the
Speaker 3: fairy folk. I didn't bother anything back there to leave
Speaker 3: them for them. So I don't know about that. But
Speaker 3: do I think that whatever happened in Ireland about the
Speaker 3: fairies caused what happened to the sister and the husband
Speaker 3: and their travel problems and COVID and so forth. I
Speaker 3: don't think so. I think they're not related in any way,
Speaker 3: But that's just me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know fairies can be tricksters and if you
Speaker 1: stomp on their land, all of that but I haven't
Speaker 1: heard about them attack to you, and I've only had
Speaker 1: good experiences with my little fairy tree I built in
Speaker 1: my yard for my kids. So I don't know. But
Speaker 1: it's a great story, well it is, and of course
Speaker 1: that it happened in Ireland. Of course, maybe their fairies
Speaker 1: are different there and they have different rules deep and
Speaker 1: we don't.
Speaker 3: Oh, they have more fairies, I think probably than we do. Yeah, okay, Aron.
Speaker 3: Next one says, this may not be a traditional spooky story,
Speaker 3: but I've always wondered if it could have been a
Speaker 3: visitation of some kind, and I'd really appreciate your insight.
Speaker 3: About five years ago, during the early days of the
Speaker 3: COVID pandemic, my grandmother passed away from cancer. She was
Speaker 3: the first grandparent we lost, and her passing was deeply
Speaker 3: painful to the entire family, especially for my mom. Around
Speaker 3: a month after her passing, had a vivid dream that
Speaker 3: felt incredibly real. In the dream, I was arriving at
Speaker 3: my grandparents' house, something we did often in life. We
Speaker 3: always used the back entrance, so I was walking down
Speaker 3: the driveway towards the door. On the way, I heard
Speaker 3: noises coming from the shed, so I went to check.
Speaker 3: Started calling out for my grandfather. There was no response.
Speaker 3: Then suddenly my grandmother stepped out from the shed. She
Speaker 3: looked absolutely radiant, her skin glowing a warm olive tone,
Speaker 3: just like when she was healthy, but with an added
Speaker 3: light that seemed to come from within. Her hair was
Speaker 3: long and brown, exactly how she said she wanted it.
Speaker 3: When she got better. She used to talk about getting
Speaker 3: a brown wig to match mine in my sister's I
Speaker 3: instantly knew she wasn't alive. I said to her, Nana,
Speaker 3: you're not alive. This is a dream. She looked at
Speaker 3: me and said, you need to tell your mom that
Speaker 3: I'm okay. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and
Speaker 3: happiness in that moment, even though I was still in
Speaker 3: the dream. After she said what she needed to say,
Speaker 3: she went back to whatever she was doing, and I
Speaker 3: woke up. This dream has stuck with me ever since,
Speaker 3: and I've always wondered could this have been more than
Speaker 3: a dream? Was it possibly a visitation? My answer to
Speaker 3: that question is a resounding absolutely.
Speaker 2: Yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: One of the signs of a visitation dream is what
Speaker 1: she said in that last sentence. This dream has stuck
Speaker 1: with me ever since those dreams aren't dreams, they're like
Speaker 1: real visits, and you don't forget them. And so yes,
Speaker 1: I think that she was coming to simply bring that message.
Speaker 1: I'm okay, please tell your mom. That's beautiful.
Speaker 3: Absolutely it is. My mom came to see me after
Speaker 3: she died, but it was in a visitation, It was
Speaker 3: not in a dream. What awakened me was the feeling
Speaker 3: of the mattress going down, like the weight of a
Speaker 3: person sitting on the edge of the bed. And when
Speaker 3: I opened my eyes, Mama was sitting on the edge
Speaker 3: of the bed, as clear as she would be, as
Speaker 3: if you were there, Samantha, and she ran her hands
Speaker 3: through my hair. I can still feel it all these
Speaker 3: years later. That felt. And she said, honey, you got
Speaker 3: to stop worrying about me. I'm okay. Those were exact words,
Speaker 3: and then she faded away. And do I believe indeed
Speaker 3: that my mama came to side on my bed and
Speaker 3: said those words to me? Absolutely? I do. Had she
Speaker 3: come like this, Gal's my grandmother had done in a
Speaker 3: dream and said what she said, would I believe that too?
Speaker 3: Absolutely I do. I hope you delivered the message to
Speaker 3: your mother.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure she did. That's so true. What a
Speaker 1: beautiful story for you to share too, Deb, Well, that
Speaker 1: was a not a very spooky story. That was a
Speaker 1: heartwarming story, and so were some of the others. How
Speaker 1: do you feel, Deb, Are you spooked out? Are you
Speaker 1: okay with these stories?
Speaker 3: I'm okay so far.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you've got planned for volume two
Speaker 3: of this episode thing going on here, but so far
Speaker 3: I'm all right.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking at our notes of all these listener emails.
Speaker 1: We have fourteen more pages, so we're going to have
Speaker 1: to turn this into a part two. But thank you
Speaker 1: guys so much for tuning in and sharing all these
Speaker 1: wonderful stories. Please come back next week and we will
Speaker 1: share the rest of these heartwarming, spine tingling and thought
Speaker 1: pondering questions and stories you all have sent in. Have
Speaker 1: a great spooky week filled with lovely, lovely, happy visits
Speaker 1: from fairies and whatnot, things that go bump in the night,
Speaker 1: things that go bump in the night or tickle you,
Speaker 1: or just something more positive rainbows and kittens, as Dev says,
Speaker 1: have a great week. We'll be back with you soon.
Speaker 1: Be the light for yourself for the fairies, for Bigfoot
