1
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, hope you're doing well. I don't usually go

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,160
off script, but today I thought i'd start a little

3
00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:17,879
bit different. Hopefully the birds singing like crazy outside don't

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,079
interfere too much with the show. But I would just

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:23,320
like to say before I start that I know I

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,359
haven't been having the most consistent of schedules, and I'm

7
00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:30,519
definitely working on trying to remedy that as we speak,

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,200
as everyone does, i have a lot of things that

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,799
I'm trying to juggle right now, and a lot of

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,079
those things have to do with the podcast, and I'm

11
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:40,399
really trying to get back on a schedule so you

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,399
know when I'm going to be uploading, but between episodes,

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,920
please feel free to keep sending me all of your stories.

14
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:49,560
I'm in the process of updating my website and I'm

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,119
actually in the process of adding a whole new section

16
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:54,880
to the website where you guys can go on and

17
00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:57,320
actually create your own posts and kind of have a

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,240
little community where everyone can ask questions and answer those questions.

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,799
So anyway, let's get on with the show. And I

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,239
just wanted to kind of say thanks for your continued

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,840
support and for allowing me to have some extra time

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,640
to myself over the last couple months, and hopefully I

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,079
can get some more experiences out to you guys on

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,959
a more regular basis. But before we do start, I

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,159
would like to say thank you so much to our

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,599
newest supporters, James, Kay and Russ. I really appreciate you guys,

27
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:30,840
and thank you so much for making the show possible.

28
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:34,519
And with all of that said, let's start the show.

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,159
Our first experience comes to us from Walter, and Walter

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,719
calls all of his experiences Navy Days. Walter says, Hello, Nick,

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,840
I'm Walter from California. I previously emailed you about my

32
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,920
first UFO slash UAP sighting when I was around seven

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,159
years old, when I spent my early childhood in central Oregon.

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,840
This submission will cover my experiences during my time serving

35
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,040
in the US Navy. This was when I first experienced

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,520
sleep paralysis and I saw my second UFO. My first

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,520
story is called boot Camp UFO. I enlisted in the

38
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:16,120
Navy during the summer of two thousand and three after

39
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:19,400
I graduated high school. I didn't report to boot Camp

40
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,840
in Great Lakes Recruit Training Command, just north of Chicago

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,560
until June of two thousand and four. Most evenings my

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,360
recruit unit would practice marching to get ready for the

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,599
graduation ceremony. Of course, we'd maintain our military bearing and

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,479
remain focused when marching between buildings. On one particular evening,

45
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:41,719
four to five weeks into recruit training, I couldn't help

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,080
noticing the sky there was one large cloud formation that

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,199
stood out from the rest. It wasn't reflecting the sunlight

48
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,120
like the other nearby clouds. It looked like it was

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,080
flaming and releasing steam. It was like there was evaporation

50
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,240
like the scene in the movie Independence Day when one

51
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,360
of the alien space ships enters the atmosphere and then

52
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,439
takes out the Awax aircraft that was in the direct path,

53
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,439
but this was on a much smaller scale. I obviously

54
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:11,680
didn't utter a word while marching in formation, but once

55
00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:14,520
we stepped inside our berthing area and fell out to

56
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:18,199
our respective racks, a lot of us started talking amongst ourselves.

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,240
I wasn't the only one to have seen this phenomenon,

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,599
and most of us were convinced it was a UFO

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,639
of some sort. We quickly got ready for our night

60
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:30,520
routines and everyone hit the racks soon after. The subject

61
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,000
never came up again for the remainder of boot camp.

62
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:41,520
My next experience is called first sleep paralysis experience. During

63
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,879
the fall of two thousand and four, I was stationed

64
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:47,840
on the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan at NAS North

65
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,520
Island in Coronado, California. For those who aren't familiar with

66
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,360
the area, it's at the entrance of the San Diego Bay.

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,639
This was my home port for the rest of my enlistment.

68
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,719
I believe that I had been on board for a

69
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,479
month or so when I had my first experience with

70
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:06,680
sleep paralysis. In the birthing areas, there are three levels

71
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400
of racks. Me being new, I was assigned to the

72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,479
top rack. Though it was the least desired rack due

73
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,879
to the hassle of having to climb over the other two,

74
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:17,600
it had the most clearance where one could set up

75
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,800
fully if there were no pipes or vents immediately over

76
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,560
your rack. One night, I fell asleep early and I

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,959
was dreaming about being somewhere over the South Pacific. For

78
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,759
some reason, I was floating over the shallow waters near

79
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,120
some unknown island. In my dream, I had a bird's

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,000
eye perspective of the area and an old World War

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
II araplane was at the bottom of the ocean. It

82
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,879
had the US Navy paint scheme at that time, and

83
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:45,600
I started pulling closer to inspect the wreckage that was

84
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,759
mostly intact. When I was near the cockpit, I could

85
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,360
see the skeletal remains of the pilot, with the leather

86
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:55,319
aviator jacket and helmet still well preserved. When I was

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,879
close enough to see the details of the pilot's skull,

88
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,959
a frightening spirit jumped out of it, and my first

89
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800
reaction was to pull back up, never losing sight of

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,160
the apparition. The thing was chasing me up several hundred

91
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,439
feet up in the sky, and I woke up, or

92
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,680
so I thought. I opened my eyes, but I could

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,959
see several dark shadows silhouettes of entities surrounding my rack.

94
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,360
I couldn't yell nor utter a single word. I think

95
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:24,800
only a gasp would escape my mouth. If that, I

96
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:28,720
felt sheer terror. It felt like several minutes passed before

97
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:30,720
I was able to shake out of the state, and

98
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,079
the dark figures all disappeared. I sat up, breathing hard

99
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,720
and scared out of my mind, wondering what the hell

100
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:39,639
that was. I would later mention this incident to my

101
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,519
father when I called him the following weekend, and he

102
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,199
suggested that I talk to a therapist due to being

103
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,439
highly stressed or dealing with other quote unquote demons. It

104
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,720
would be the first of many times that I would

105
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:58,639
experience this horrible sensation during my adult years. My next

106
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:05,439
experience is called dark Runner. One Sunday morning circa December

107
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680
of two thousand and four. All my shipboard experiences were

108
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,240
on the US S Ronald Reagan. I was on duty

109
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,680
that weekend and I got up to use the head,

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,439
which is Navy jargon for the bathroom. I was shaving

111
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,519
at one of the eight or so sinks that are

112
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,560
lined up side decide. All the mirrors above the sink

113
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,160
would line up perfectly and you could see a person's

114
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,120
reflection from the first mirror to the last when that

115
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:31,279
person would walk by. Since it was Sunday morning and

116
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,680
we were in port, I was the only person in

117
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,079
the head at that time. But then I heard someone

118
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,519
open the door, and I saw someone in the mirrors

119
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,720
rushing to where the toilet stalls were. However, I didn't

120
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,959
hear any of the stall doors open or close. In fact,

121
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:49,040
it was dead silent. I turned to where the stalls were,

122
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:52,279
and they were all open and empty. I was wondering

123
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
where this person went, since there is only one door

124
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,319
to go in or out of there, but I just

125
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,680
brushed it off and continued shaving. When I was finished

126
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,160
with my morning routine. I thought it was extremely weird

127
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,560
that someone walked in and simply disappeared into thin air.

128
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,560
So I'm not sure if I saw the ghost of

129
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,240
a sailor that morning or just some random spirit that

130
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:18,720
attached itself to this ship. My next experience is called

131
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Tower Spirit. Late June of two thousand and six, I

132
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,360
was on deployment and we were returning from the Persian Gulf.

133
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,120
We had already departed Asia and we were like a

134
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,560
day away from pulling into Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I was

135
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,199
on watch up in the tower from four hundred to

136
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:39,399
seven hundred hours. I was on the level right above

137
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:43,160
the bridge. When on watch, we were responsible for reporting

138
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,279
any fires or any other hazards that could arise during

139
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,199
the four hours that we were assigned to man that post.

140
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:52,759
Like two hours before my watch ended, the only hatch

141
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:55,639
that led into the space was opened and someone in

142
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920
a black uniform entered the space I had looked over

143
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,639
my shoulder to greet this person, who I first thought

144
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,839
was my immediate supervisor, since she'd wear the same exact

145
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,600
uniform jacket. I had seen and heard the person close

146
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,959
the hatch and then sit on the bench on the

147
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,439
far back section of that space. I looked over again

148
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,480
to the bench, wondering why my supervisor had not acknowledged

149
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,680
my greeting, hoping that it was just that she had

150
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,879
not heard me and not because she had had a

151
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,040
bad morning. But then I realized that no one was

152
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:28,759
back there or anywhere else in the space. I freaked out,

153
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,120
and I used the phone system to call my division

154
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,279
office to check in. One of my shipmates answered, and

155
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,200
I just asked him who was going to relieve me

156
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:39,519
after my watch ended, not wanting to admit that I

157
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,120
was scared and wondering what happened. There was no way

158
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,279
a person could have exited without making any noise. Those

159
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,240
hatches are made of steel and make loud sounds when

160
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:53,159
opening and closing. It's almost like that person just vanished

161
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:57,240
without explanation. I'm convinced that this, too, was a ghost.

162
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:01,000
I cannot come up with a better explanation for this incident.

163
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,159
These are the paranormal experiences that stood out the most

164
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,519
to me from my time in the U. S. Navy.

165
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,879
Thanks for reading my submission and I hope it makes

166
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:14,759
it to one of your podcasts. Thanks Nick, and best

167
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:23,240
wishes Walter. Our next experience comes to us from Sharon,

168
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:30,360
and Sharon's experience is called Last Gift from My Mom. Hi, Nick,

169
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:33,080
I'm hoping this email finds you and your family. Well.

170
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,679
I was listening to your podcast when one of the

171
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,320
stories from one of your listeners reminded me of an

172
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,799
incident that happened to me. That would have been over

173
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:43,480
twenty years ago. Now it's hard to believe that my

174
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,440
mom has been gone for that long. She passed away

175
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:49,240
in two thousand and five after a long battle with

176
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,519
diabetes and heart issues, but I believe it was the

177
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,200
dementia that ended up being her cause of death in

178
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,639
the end, and she started to refuse medications for everything,

179
00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:01,799
insisting that she didn't need to take them, as is

180
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,080
what happens with people with dementia. She ended up in

181
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,759
a long term care facility because it got so bad

182
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,559
neither me nor my father were able to care for

183
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,759
her anymore. She lived another three weeks after that, before

184
00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:18,519
passing in her sleep. About a month after her funeral,

185
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:21,120
my siblings and I were at my father's and we

186
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:23,399
were going through a lot of my mom's stuff, with

187
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,159
my dad letting me and my brother and sister keep

188
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,360
whatever we wanted that had belonged to my mom. She

189
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,240
liked anything that was sparkly, dolls, stuffed animals, and she

190
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:37,000
had pretty much started almost hoarding things, some even childish,

191
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,600
so there was a lot to go through. What we

192
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,440
didn't take, my dad ended up throwing away or taking

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,759
to the Salvation Army for donation. I had picked out

194
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:47,759
some jewelry that I had given to my mom for

195
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:50,519
Mother's Day over the years, and my brother and sister

196
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:52,559
also took some of the gifts that they had given

197
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,639
her to We only took a small box each, so

198
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
there was a lot that got donated. One of the

199
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,039
things that I took was a crystal necklace that I

200
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:03,480
had gotten her from a catalog that she pointed out

201
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,960
that she liked one year. It was one of those

202
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,879
mail order catalogs that were popular at that time, and

203
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,679
it wasn't that expensive of a necklace, so I ordered

204
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,320
it for her. She wore it often to church and

205
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,440
other group gatherings, as it was one of her favorite necklaces.

206
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,559
I found it hanging on the corner of her vanity mirror,

207
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,000
and I remembered when I ordered it for her and

208
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,200
how happy she was when it came. I added it

209
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,639
to my collection of things. Later on, after I had

210
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,960
been home for a few days, I started going through

211
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,399
the box, and it was then that I realized the

212
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,639
necklace was gone. I checked the car and other places,

213
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,720
and I even called my dad to see if maybe

214
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,799
it fell out at the house, but he never saw

215
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,440
it there either. I called my brother and my sister

216
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:46,960
in law to see if maybe it accidentally ended up

217
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,320
in one of their boxes, but neither one of them

218
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,759
had it. I was confused and upset because I remember

219
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:55,320
distinctly putting that necklace in a box of stuff to

220
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,360
go home with me. After looking for some time, I

221
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:00,399
finally just wrote it off as it it must have

222
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,159
just fallen out at some point in time during travel,

223
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,759
and that I would probably never see it again. After

224
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,519
some time had passed, I had forgotten about the necklace,

225
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:12,440
as you do when life returns to normal after dealing

226
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,440
with loss. But then one day I was in our bedroom,

227
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,799
collecting the laundry to take to the laundry room, as

228
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,200
I had already done several times since the funeral. I

229
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,440
picked up an armload of laundry out of our laundry

230
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,279
hamper and something fell and hit my foot. I looked

231
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,320
down and dropped everything in my arms, and my mouth

232
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,240
fell open. It was my mom's necklace. I stared at

233
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:36,480
it for probably a good minute before I picked it up.

234
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,559
I flipped it over to both sides and checked, thinking

235
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,440
that I was imagining things, but it was definitely my

236
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:46,000
mom's necklace. I was very confused trying to figure out

237
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:48,440
how it ended up in the laundry basket. I had

238
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,039
done several loads of laundry since then, and if it

239
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,440
had been in the laundry basket, I would have found

240
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,200
it long before now. I immediately called my brother and

241
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,759
I told him what happened. He just chuckled a little

242
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:02,720
bit and said, well, I guess Mom wanted to make

243
00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:05,320
sure that you got her necklace. I didn't tell you

244
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:08,639
what happened to me. Confused, I asked him what he

245
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,519
meant by that, and he replied that he too had

246
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:14,120
picked up a ring that belonged to my mom. It

247
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,639
was a ring that he had bought for her at

248
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:17,879
one point in time, and he had taken it home

249
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,240
with him and misplaced it. He was sure that he

250
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:22,480
had laid it down on his kitchen counter, but it

251
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,799
disappeared and he couldn't find it. The other day, he

252
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,519
was getting ready for work when he went to the

253
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,679
bathroom to brush his hair, and there laying next to

254
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,399
his hair brush was the ring. He couldn't explain that

255
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,679
any more than I could explain the necklace. I then

256
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,759
called my sister to see if she had anything weird

257
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,519
happen to her, but she said no, or at least

258
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,399
not that she was aware of. Then she called me

259
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720
back later that night to tell me that a stuffed

260
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,039
tiger that she had taken was missing. It wasn't a

261
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:53,879
small stuffed animal either, it was a fairly large one.

262
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,679
She remembered seeing it sitting on top of a box

263
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:59,320
when she put it in her bedroom, and then when

264
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,759
she went in it was gone. She found it twenty

265
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,879
minutes later in her laundry room. It was sitting on

266
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,960
top of her washing machine. We discussed it later, Nick,

267
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,120
and we decided that it was my mom's way of

268
00:14:12,159 --> 00:14:15,240
saying that she was still around, that she was okay,

269
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,559
and that she was glad that we had gotten some

270
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,720
of her favorite things as tokens to remind us of her.

271
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:24,279
It was the only time anything like that ever happened,

272
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:28,879
and nothing like that has happened since. I have a

273
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,360
story for another time that happened to me after my

274
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,159
husband's mother passed, but I'll send that at a later date.

275
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:45,159

284
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:18,519
brief messages, our next experience comes to us from Grace,

285
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,879
and Grace's experience is called The Unknown Creature. Grace says, Hello, Nick,

286
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:29,159
I've been listening to your podcast for a few days

287
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:32,279
and I'm absolutely loving it. I mostly listen when i'm

288
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,799
winding down after a long day, and it feels much

289
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,159
better than listening to music, which I normally do. So

290
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
keep up the amazing work. I'm not really sure where

291
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,840
to begin with my experience, as I'm not sure if

292
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:46,440
it was an experience with the paranormal or if it

293
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:49,919
was my mind playing tricks on me. My experience was

294
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,399
when I was little, so it may be five or six.

295
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:54,840
Me and my family lived in a small house at

296
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,600
the time, and whilst living in this house, I shared

297
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:00,279
my room with my younger sister. The layout to our

298
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,240
bedroom was quite simple. My bed was up against one

299
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,080
wall where I would be facing our wardrobe, and my

300
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,120
sister's bed was on the other side of the room

301
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,720
and facing the window. One morning, I woke up just

302
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:13,720
as the sun was rising, and I got out of

303
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:16,559
bed to open the blinds. As far as I can remember,

304
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,600
these were the type of blinds where you would have

305
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:20,720
to pull the rope to make the blinds go up,

306
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:23,240
and as I was doing just that, I saw this

307
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,720
massive green creature slammed up against the window. It was terrifying.

308
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,720
The best way I can describe this unknown creature to

309
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,480
you is that it was sort of in a human figure,

310
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:36,279
but obviously It looked nothing like a human, as it

311
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,759
had green skin. As I said earlier, the creature seemed

312
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,960
to be slammed up against the window, and from what

313
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:44,879
I can remember, the creature's tongue was sticking out from

314
00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:47,600
the side of its mouth. Describing this creature to you,

315
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,559
it sounds like I'm describing a cartoon character where the

316
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:53,039
character would be pushed into a wall or a door

317
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:55,879
or something and they would just be flat against the object.

318
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,000
But I promise you this seemed real and it was

319
00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:02,960
nothing like a cartoon character. After seeing this creature, I

320
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,839
remember closing the blinds and running to my bed, where

321
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,519
I didn't actually sit or lay on the bed, but

322
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,519
I kneeled in front of the bed with my head

323
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:13,200
in my arms. Now I can't remember if I was

324
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,640
crying because I was so terrified, or if I had

325
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,480
fallen back asleep. But when I opened my eyes, my

326
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,440
mom was now coming in through the door. She came

327
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,200
in and reopened the blinds. I watched from a crouching position,

328
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,839
and when she opened the blinds completely, the creature was gone.

329
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:31,759
My mom then asked what I was doing on the floor,

330
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:35,720
and all I can remember saying was I fell out

331
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Later that day, I remember asking my sister if she

332
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,559
had ever seen a green creature, and she just looked

333
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,920
very confused, and she said that it was in my head. Well,

334
00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:48,000
a few years go by and we move into a

335
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:51,000
new house. This house was much bigger than the other house,

336
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,119
and I had my own bedroom. Whilst in this house,

337
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,960
I never had an experience like that. Again, as I

338
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,359
have talked to some of my family about this experience,

339
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,119
my mom has mentioned numerous times that I used to

340
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,599
sleep walk quite a lot when I was much younger

341
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:06,519
than the age of five, and that I used to

342
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,960
talk a lot while sleeping. After researching some things about

343
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,400
dreaming and sleepwalking, I have come to some conclusions about

344
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,200
what the unknown creature might have been. I have read

345
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680
a lot of things about lucid dreaming and what type

346
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,119
of things you can do and think whilst dreaming. Most

347
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,640
people's lucid dreaming experience includes things such as flying or teleporting,

348
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,200
or just having very vivid dreams. Some people have horrendous dreams.

349
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,119
For example, one of my friends from high school told

350
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,440
me that she had a dream where she woke up

351
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,079
and she was tied down onto a table and she

352
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,200
then watched her brother's bones being used as a cage

353
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:46,200
for her younger sister. After hearing so many different things

354
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,559
about lucid dreaming, I somewhat believed that my experience might

355
00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:52,000
have been a lucid dream, as some people say that

356
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,920
they had no idea they were lucid dreaming until something

357
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,519
bizarre happened. I'm not sure if my experience had anything

358
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:01,160
to do with lucid dreaming or if it was genuinely

359
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,039
a paranormal experience. I only remember this one because since

360
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,720
listening to your podcast, it has made me rethink the

361
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:10,759
creature that I saw. If it was a lucid dream,

362
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,200
I have no idea why I would think of something

363
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,480
that was so terrifying. Thank you for reading my experience

364
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:20,200
and keep up the amazing work. Listening to all the

365
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,359
different people's experiences is so reassuring that paranormal things can

366
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:31,799
and do happen in real life. Our next experience of

367
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:35,680
the Evening comes to us from Erica, and Erica's experience

368
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:42,039
is called Mysterious walk Through. Erica says, thank you Nick

369
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:44,680
for this platform. I have been listening to this podcast

370
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:47,599
for two years now. I really love the various stories

371
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,440
and experiences. My first story happened in two thousand and seven,

372
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:53,559
after living in a home that my family and I

373
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,079
moved into in October of two thousand and six. The

374
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,440
house we lived in was built in the nineteen twenties.

375
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:02,519
My parents and my daughter and I shared this home together.

376
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:05,000
I would like to say before I start my story

377
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,359
that my mother, myself, and my daughter are all believers,

378
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:11,000
but my father, on the other hand, not so much.

379
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,000
He's a huge skeptic. One night, while my mother was

380
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,519
in our computer room, my father was in bed in

381
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:21,480
their room across and slightly down the hall. My father

382
00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:24,039
spoke loudly to ask my mom to come to their room.

383
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,880
So she went to the room and my father asked

384
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,079
her if she had just come through their room, but

385
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,920
she responded that she hadn't, and my father then told

386
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,839
her that there was a man in a hat that

387
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,880
had just walked through their bedroom. My mom had nothing

388
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,640
much to say, but she knew it was not her.

389
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,880
I asked my dad if he believed in the paranormal then,

390
00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:47,440
but he said no, I still don't. Fast forward thirteen

391
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:50,720
years and my mom was diagnosed with cancer and she

392
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:54,559
died May sixth of twenty nineteen. My dad did not

393
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,039
want to be in their room anymore, so him and

394
00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:00,519
I switched rooms. He took my room and I took theirs.

395
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:03,480
One night, while I was sleeping, I woke up in

396
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:05,680
the middle of the night to see a man standing

397
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,079
next to my bed, and I tried to tell myself

398
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:09,960
that it was part of a dream, but it seems

399
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:12,319
very coincidental that there was a man in a hat

400
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,319
that my father saw and that I woke up seeing

401
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,640
this man next to me. I do have a couple

402
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,960
of other stories about people that had been over to

403
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:23,640
my home and had seen someone in my home or

404
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,680
heard someone as well. I feel these stories irrelevant to

405
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,279
this platform, and I also have a couple of stories

406
00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:31,799
that I heard about others in my family, if I

407
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:35,319
would be allowed to share those as well. Thank you

408
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,440
again for this platform, and thank you for your time.

409
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:46,400
Our next experience comes to us from Caroline, and Caroline's

410
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,880
experience is called top Hat. I just want to start

411
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,799
by saying how much I absolutely love this podcast. I

412
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:56,920
had been listening for a long time now and it's

413
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,000
genuinely one of my favorites. I actually wrote in before

414
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,160
four and my story was called Luigi Board and I'm

415
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,519
so grateful that you took the time to read it.

416
00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:08,440
It really meant a lot to me. This time, I

417
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,519
want to share something that stayed with me for over

418
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:13,799
thirty years. This isn't my story. It happened to a

419
00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:16,519
close friend of mine, but I still remember exactly how

420
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:20,039
I felt when she told me, the shock, the fear,

421
00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:23,640
and the way it just stayed with me afterwards. She's

422
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,519
not someone who lies, never has been, and she had

423
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:29,799
absolutely no reason to make something like this up. I've

424
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:33,359
actually asked her about it a few times over the years. Strangely,

425
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:36,440
she doesn't really remember it happening, but she's never had

426
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,279
the best memory for things in the past, and honestly,

427
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,839
part of me wonders if it affected her so deeply

428
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,240
that she's blocked it out. And if that's the case,

429
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,960
I wouldn't blame her. At the time, she was young

430
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,240
and determined she wanted to become a nurse. She dropped

431
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,200
out of sixth form because she needed to start earning money,

432
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,920
so she decided to take a different route, working in

433
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,880
a care home to gain experience for applying for her

434
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,079
nursing training. She'd only been there a couple of months

435
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,160
when this happened. I remember the night clearly, because she

436
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,640
came straight around to me after her shift. She looked shaken,

437
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,559
properly shaken, and that wasn't like her. She told me

438
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,960
that she had seen a ghost that evening. She and

439
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:21,400
a colleague had been in one of the residents rooms.

440
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:23,720
It was an elderly woman who was close to the

441
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:26,680
end of her life. They were doing what cars do,

442
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,200
trying to make her comfortable, quietly working around the room,

443
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,839
adjusting things and keeping everything calm and dignified. But then

444
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,759
out of nowhere, she heard her colleague trying to get

445
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,440
her attention. But it wasn't normal, she said. It came

446
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:47,599
as this harsh whisper right near her ear. Sally, Sally, Sallie.

447
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,400
When she looked over, her colleague didn't look panicked exactly,

448
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:55,359
but serious, very serious. And she then said to her,

449
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,319
quietly but firmly, whatever you do, don't look at the

450
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,680
wall behind me. You just walk out of the room slowly. Now,

451
00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:08,119
most people might listen, but of course she didn't. She

452
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,720
turned around and standing right behind her was a man.

453
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,359
She described him so clearly, it's always stuck with me.

454
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,720
He was dressed in what looked like an old Victorian suit,

455
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,839
very proper, very formal, and he was wearing a top hat.

456
00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:26,759
He wasn't threatening, That's the strange part. He just stood

457
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:31,640
there looking at her. Then he smiled, and slowly, almost politely,

458
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:34,279
he lifted up his top hat as if greeting her,

459
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,160
and then, just as calmly, he began to move backwards,

460
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,400
not turning, not rushing, just stepping back until he disappeared

461
00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:48,640
straight into the wall. Gone, just like that, she said,

462
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,440
The room when completely silent. I remember sitting there as

463
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,839
she told me, and I had goosebumps all over. I

464
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,680
still do even thinking about it. What's always stayed with

465
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:02,880
me is how shaken she was. This wasn't someone telling

466
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,039
a spooky story. For a fact, she was in genuine shock,

467
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,119
trying to make sense of something that she couldn't explain.

468
00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:11,839
And the fact that it happened in that moment with

469
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,920
someone at the very end of their life. It's always

470
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,359
made me wonder, because I do believe, honestly that when

471
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,440
we're close to death, we're not alone, that maybe, just

472
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:27,119
maybe someone comes to meet us, and perhaps for whatever reason,

473
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:34,960
that night she caught a glimpse of it. Before I

474
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,319
bring tonight's episode to an end, I'd like to thank

475
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,160
all of our experiencers for coming forward with their stories,

476
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,240
and of course I truly appreciate each and every one

477
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:46,680
of you for listening and showing your support. As always,

478
00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:48,599
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your evening

479
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:51,000
and I'll be back in a few short days with

480
00:25:51,160 --> 00:26:23,039
more tales of the unexplained right here on Paranormal mysrayst.

481
00:26:06,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: Stand not the past, tatttain to set do
