1 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me and welcome. I'm your host, 2 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,160 Nick Ryan. Tonight's show is a bit different, as I'm 3 00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:19,839 asking for help on behalf of one of my listeners 4 00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:24,039 and experiencers. On September twelfth of last year, I aired 5 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,920 episode three ninety four, which was called demon Stocker, Reality Glitch, 6 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,280 and Strange Paralysis. The first experience of that episode was 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,560 submitted by a listener named Savannah, who had been experiencing 8 00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,000 terrifying phenomena ever since her parents gave her Ruiji board 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,479 when she was younger. Over the years, Savannah's experiences continued 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,679 until she eventually moved and was finally able to find peace. Yesterday, however, 11 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,679 I received an email from Savannah asking for help or 12 00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,399 advice regarding her past experiences and how she can protect 13 00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,520 herself moving forward. Before I read her message, though, I'd 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,000 like to replay Savannah's original story to get everyone up 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:11,560 to speed. This is Savannah's experience. Hey, Nick, I've been 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,040 listening to your podcast for quite some time now, and 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280 a lot of the stories remind me of my own. 18 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,719 These occurrences have taken place over the course of over 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,359 half my lifetime. As I'm twenty five now, When people 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,959 ask me if I believe in ghosts. I usually tell 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,280 them I grew up in a haunted house. But the 22 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,359 truth is it's not just one singular house that's haunted. 23 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,079 I think it might have been me to begin. It 24 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,519 all started when I was a child, maybe third or 25 00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,439 fourth grade. My parents gifted me a Wiji board for Christmas, 26 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:45,120 though in their defense, I think they thought it was 27 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,239 just a silly kid's game at that time. It was 28 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,439 my cousin that showed me how to talk to ghosts 29 00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,760 with it. I used it all the time, and I 30 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,319 showed all my friends. Being young and dumb, we never 31 00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,400 said goodbye or closed it properly. This is when weird 32 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:04,040 things started to happen. I started waking up in the 33 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,920 middle of the night to see a black figure standing 34 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,680 over me. I was always so scared, I just hid 35 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,560 under my blankets. Night after night, we constantly heard thumping 36 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,919 and bangs throughout the night. They were always in sets 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,680 of threes. I didn't understand until I was older what 38 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:24,280 this possibly meant. My brothers and I would always have 39 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,439 sleepovers in our finished basement. We started hearing heavy footsteps 40 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,919 up and down the hallway next to us, and the 41 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,919 balls in our pool table, rolling and clattering around. My 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,879 older brother even woke us up one night crying because 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,280 he saw a dark figure in the hallway as he 44 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,080 was getting up to use the bathroom. All the while 45 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:45,159 he was telling us that there were sets of three 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,759 thumps on the wall and the pool balls were still 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,159 clattering in the next room. We were all so scared 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,599 that we hid under our blankets once again. Even with this, 49 00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:58,639 we continued to use the board. It told us that 50 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,240 we opened a portal in the room in our basement 51 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,520 where the pool table was. We tried to tell our parents, 52 00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,360 and at first they didn't believe us until one night 53 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,879 my mom told me this story when I got older. 54 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,159 My parents were in their room asleep when in the 55 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,840 middle of the night, both their eyes shot open at 56 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,800 the same time. Yet they found that they couldn't move. 57 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,159 It was so cold in there that they could see 58 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,680 their breath. They heard heavy footsteps in the hallway outside 59 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,639 their door, walking back and forth. It should also be 60 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,560 mentioned that my brother's room was across the hall and 61 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,879 mine was across the hall kiddy corner from my parents. 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,360 Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw a 63 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:40,800 dark figure in the hallway walking back and forth, pacing. 64 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,120 Then it turned toward them and looked right at them, 65 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,840 before turning around and walking straight into my room. The 66 00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:50,639 second that had disappeared into my room, they could move 67 00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:53,680 once again. They jumped up and ran straight to me, 68 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,840 though when they got there, I was asleep and there 69 00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,520 was no one in the room with me. My dad 70 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,800 then burnt the Ouiji board after that, and we moved 71 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,080 into a new house. Now we all thought that would 72 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,719 be the end of it, but we were wrong. The 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,240 first night there, I once again awoke in the middle 74 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240 of the night to see the same dark figure standing 75 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,120 over me. Now this is the part where most people 76 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,319 are going to blame me for the rest, and I 77 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,720 do too, as it was completely my fault. I bought 78 00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:25,800 another Wigi board. I could blame it on being young 79 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,040 and dumb, but the truth is I really thought that 80 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,319 if I said goodbye properly and closed it properly, it 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,439 wouldn't be an issue. At this time, I believed that 82 00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:37,519 I was in sixth grade. This was the main reason 83 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,680 my parents didn't believe us about occurrences in our new house. 84 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,439 They thought that once we moved it would be fine, 85 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:47,959 and they had no idea about the new board. As 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,519 we started using it, weird stuff started to happen again. Naturally, 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,439 we asked it where it came from, and at that 88 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,120 second we all abruptly heard a growl come from seemingly 89 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:02,120 all around us, and then the wordords rolling green or 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240 spoken from all around us. This was the name of 91 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,600 our street that our old house was on. Now. I 92 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:12,240 can't describe the voice. It was like radio static. You 93 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,839 could feel it in the air. We all freaked out 94 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:19,959 and ran upstairs forgetting once again to say goodbye. I 95 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,199 started sleep walking around this time, something I had never 96 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,920 done before. I would always wake up in the basement, 97 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,399 even though my bedroom was up on the second floor. 98 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,759 We eventually got rid of the board after that, but 99 00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:36,000 things continued to happen for years. One night, I was 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,600 watching a movie alone in my bedroom when I heard 101 00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:42,360 someone breathing. I paused my movie and I held my breath, 102 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,519 thinking that for some reason, I was just hearing myself breathing. 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,079 But it went on. I thought maybe one of my 104 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,600 brothers was playing a prank on me, so I walked 105 00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:54,439 to the closet to check it out. I then looked 106 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,680 under my bed, but there was nothing I was alone, 107 00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:02,079 yet I could still hear someone breathing. I sat back 108 00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:05,240 on my bed and immediately felt like something was coming 109 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,720 closer to me. However, I saw nothing. I just felt 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,120 something coming closer and closer. All of a sudden, I 111 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,319 heard my lamp on the side of my bed rattle. 112 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,920 I turned to look at it, and it was wobbling 113 00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:20,240 like someone was bumping into it. A split second later, 114 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,279 my bed started shaking and rattling as I was sitting 115 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,160 on it. I immediately jumped up and ran out of my 116 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,519 room to tell my family, but of course they didn't 117 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,519 believe me. Another time, I was putting away some craft 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,079 supplies in our craft room in the basement when I 119 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,680 started to feel that same feeling of something coming closer 120 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,560 and closer. Again, I saw nothing, but I could feel 121 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,920 it closer and closer. All of a sudden, a deep 122 00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:51,240 and guttural growl came from all around me. At the 123 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,120 same time, my hair was blown back from my face, 124 00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:57,399 literally like you see in the movies. I couldn't help 125 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,399 but stand there, frozen, too scared to move. Finally, I 126 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,959 felt whatever it was leave and I ran to my 127 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,240 brothers in the next room over. This was right about 128 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,040 the time my parents had the basement remodeled, so we 129 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:13,800 didn't spend much time down there for a while. Now. 130 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:17,000 Things happened on and off throughout the years, but let's 131 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,680 fast forward to high school. My friends started to notice 132 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,519 weird things happening at my house, and they would start 133 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,879 spending less and less time there. I was still seeing 134 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,560 that figure at night standing over me, and this was 135 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,240 around the time I started to get sleep paralysis. I 136 00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,000 told my friends about the past and everything that happened. 137 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,639 But what did they say? You should make another Ouiji board? Dumb, 138 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,920 I know. However, I agreed as long as we didn't 139 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,439 do it at my house, so we used it at 140 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,680 my friends. The glasses in the kitchen started to shake 141 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,800 and clatter. We also saw a figure looking at us 142 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,560 through the window after the board told us to look there. 143 00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:59,920 Of course, stuff started happening again at my house after that. 144 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,600 I was home alone sick from school one day, laying 145 00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:05,800 in my bed when I heard a door slam on 146 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,079 the main floor and someone walking. I thought that it 147 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,759 was someone home early, so I called out and I 148 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,839 went to the door of my room to look out. 149 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:16,519 All I saw was a dark shadow of a person 150 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,240 slide across the wall in the hallways, I also heard 151 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,079 three bangs. I immediately shut my door and hid by 152 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,720 my closet as I heard the thumps along the wall 153 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,680 and door outside, all of them in threes. Once again. 154 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,200 Another time, I went down to the basement to get 155 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,279 a popsicle. It should be mentioned that the basement was 156 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,000 open concept and you could see the theater room from 157 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,039 the bottom of the stairs. So I headed to the 158 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,559 storage room at the bottom of the stairs to grab one, 159 00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,639 and as I headed back up, I saw someone standing 160 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,120 in the middle of the theater room. I did not 161 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,200 turn the light on in there, so I could only 162 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,759 see the outline of them from the light of the stairs. 163 00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,440 I thought that it was my older brother, so I 164 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,639 called his name, but there was no answer. So I 165 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,559 then said, I can see you, stop trying to scare 166 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,440 me again. However, there was no answer, so I hit 167 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,360 the light next to me and it was gone. There 168 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,080 was no one there. I turned the light back off 169 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,240 again and it was still gone. No one there. At 170 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,799 that point I ran up the stairs to tell my mom, 171 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,960 but of course she didn't believe me. Another time, I 172 00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:27,720 was home alone, sick again, laying on the living room 173 00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:30,440 couch on the main level with our two dogs, when 174 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,679 all of a sudden, there were bangs on the wall 175 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,240 behind the couch, three of them, and they were very loud. 176 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,919 The dogs jumped up and ran behind the recliner, staring 177 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,799 at the wall, just barking and growling. The bangs continued 178 00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,840 in sets of three. I jumped up and ran to 179 00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:49,559 the next room that chears that wall, but there was 180 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,720 nothing and no one. As I rounded the corner, the 181 00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:55,679 bangs stopped, but the dogs were still freaking out and 182 00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,919 barking at the wall. At that point, I had had enough, 183 00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,679 so I got in my car and I just drove. 184 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,679 I just couldn't be there alone anymore. Around this time, 185 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440 I started seeing this entity during the day as well. 186 00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:12,080 It was at the corner of my vision or in 187 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,799 dark corners. My friends began seeing it too. My boyfriend 188 00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:19,440 at the time actually saw it twice, once in the 189 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,279 car on the side of the road in the dark. 190 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,240 His friend who was with him saw it too, though 191 00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,519 he didn't explain to him what it was. Then, once 192 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,759 more he had a dream that it was standing over 193 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,399 him at night, and it then crawled on top of him, 194 00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:36,200 suffocating him. He jolted awake to find that he couldn't move. 195 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,480 It was sleep paralysis, which he had never had before, 196 00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:42,200 and he saw the same dark figure standing above him. 197 00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:45,720 All he could do was shut his eyes and wait. 198 00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:49,440 My friends didn't come over much after all that and 199 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,200 didn't want me talking about it because every time I did, 200 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:56,320 it got worse again. The very last time that my 201 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,679 best friend and I hung out there, we were packing 202 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:00,440 up the rest of my stuff to move into our 203 00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,519 new apartment together. I was about twenty years old at 204 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:06,840 this point. The packing went later than we thought, so 205 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,759 afterward we decided to make some popcorn and watch a 206 00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,440 movie in the theater downstairs. As we were making popcorn 207 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,440 in the kitchen, a cup that was set in the 208 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,720 middle of the counter went flying and then clattering to 209 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:21,639 the floor. Neither of us were even close to it. 210 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,279 We froze and just stared at it as my mom 211 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,600 yelled from upstairs to be quiet. We freaked out, saying 212 00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:30,279 that it wasn't oz and we explained what had happened, 213 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,840 but she didn't believe us. I picked up the cup 214 00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:35,679 and set it in the center of the counter once 215 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,399 again before we headed downstairs with our popcorn, not ten 216 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,039 minutes go by as we're picking a movie when we 217 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,519 heard the floor a clattering noise upstairs as the same 218 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,799 cup once again hits the floor. No one was in 219 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,440 the kitchen at that time. Now this is the last 220 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,320 occurrence in that house. I was slipping on the couch 221 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,840 in the living room on the main floor for whatever reason. 222 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,559 It was late and I was just arding to fall 223 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,240 asleep with the only light of the TV on, I 224 00:12:04,279 --> 00:12:06,679 heard someone walking toward the kitchen and out of the 225 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,120 corner of my eye as I was laying down, I 226 00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:12,279 saw a tall figure walk into view. I assumed it 227 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,799 was my younger brother, so I said hi, and I 228 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,639 asked him what he was doing up so late. However, 229 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,639 there was no answer. I turned to look at him 230 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,360 and realized that it was not my brother. I then 231 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000 watched this dark figure round the corner of the counter. 232 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,120 It's hard to describe what it was. It was person shaped, 233 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,000 all dark, and all I could see were its eyes. 234 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,879 They glowed almost like a cat's eyes. I was so 235 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,799 scared all I could do was hide under the blanket. 236 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,240 As a twenty year old adult woman, after that, I 237 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,519 moved in with my best friend to our apartment a 238 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,320 few cities over. I was happy to finally be out 239 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,879 of that house, and I hoped I would never experience 240 00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:56,559 anything like that again. I was wrong. The first night 241 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,879 in our new apartment, I once again awoke in the 242 00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:01,399 middle of the night to that same dark figure standing 243 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,519 over me. It seemed that I had brought it with me. 244 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,240 My new bedroom had mirrors covering one whole side of 245 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:11,000 the room, where the closet doors were across from my 246 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,000 bed and facing me. I constantly had nightmares about things 247 00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:18,120 coming through the mirrors and standing over me. I also 248 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,440 constantly woke up in the middle of the night to 249 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,759 seeing things in the mirrors, and it was to the 250 00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:25,039 point that I had to sleep with my closet doors 251 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,639 open just so the mirrors weren't facing my bed. I 252 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,519 never got much sleep in that room. My best friend 253 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,840 started hearing and seeing things as well. I would yell 254 00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:37,720 at her when I would come home to find my 255 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:40,440 bedroom door shut while she was home, because it would 256 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,159 always be freezing in there with the door shut. She 257 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,440 would tell me that she had to shut my door, though, 258 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,639 because every time she would walk past my room to 259 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,679 get to her bathroom or her bedroom, she would see 260 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,720 someone standing in the middle of the room, or sitting 261 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,679 in the chair in the corner. It just scared her 262 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,000 too much, and the only thing she could do was 263 00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:03,080 shut the door so she couldn't see in. One time, 264 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,000 I was home alone, laying on the couch in the 265 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:08,000 living room in the dark, watching TV, and I heard 266 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,720 someone in the kitchen behind me. I turned on the 267 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:13,080 light and went into the kitchen to see the closet 268 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,600 door open and a single can sitting perfectly upright in 269 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:20,159 the middle of the kitchen floor. Another time, I awoke 270 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,679 one morning when my friend was already supposed to be 271 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,759 gone for work. However, I could hear through the wall 272 00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:28,840 her coughing and moving about in her room across the hall. 273 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,960 I assumed that she was sick, so I texted her 274 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,919 and I asked if she had called out of work. 275 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,559 As I got up to get ready. It should be 276 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,039 noted that I always slept with my door closed, so 277 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:41,759 it was closed when I got up, and my bathroom 278 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:43,919 was attached to my bedroom, so I didn't have to 279 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,159 leave the room to get ready. After I finished up 280 00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:49,720 in my bathroom, I heard a door open and close, 281 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,559 but at this point she hadn't texted me, so I 282 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:55,080 walked out into my room and I saw that my 283 00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,440 door was now wide open. This was strange. Look across 284 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,679 the hall and saw that her door was shut, So 285 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:05,200 I wondered why she came out and opened my door 286 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:07,919 but didn't come and say anything and just closed her 287 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:10,639 door again. I figured that she must really not be 288 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,000 feeling very well, so I texted her again and asked 289 00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:16,559 why she opened my door and if she needs anything, 290 00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,519 but once again there was no response. So I just 291 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:23,600 went about my morning, eating breakfast before work and watching 292 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,399 a bit of TV. I could still hear her coughing 293 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,759 and moving around in her room, so I figured it 294 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,440 was best not to knock or bother her. I once 295 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,639 again just texted her to feel better, and I headed 296 00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:38,600 out for work. However, once I got outside, I realized 297 00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:41,279 that her car wasn't there. I started to feel a 298 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,879 bit uneasy and scared, so I tried to call her 299 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,759 on my way to work, but again there was no answer. 300 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,440 When I got to work, I saw that her car 301 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,480 was in the parking lot as we worked together, and 302 00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:54,879 this is when I lost it. I went right up 303 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:57,559 to her, freaking out and telling her to check her texts. 304 00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:00,840 As I explained the whole morning, and this really freaked 305 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,279 her out because while I was at work, she had 306 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,320 to go home alone. To this day, I still have 307 00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,559 no idea what would have happened if I had opened 308 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:13,159 her door, or why whatever it was sounded exactly like her. 309 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:16,799 We only stayed in that apartment for a year before 310 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440 I bought a house by myself. I don't blame her 311 00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:22,240 for not wanting to live with me after that. I 312 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360 was terrified of this new place, one because I would 313 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,519 be alone, and two it was an old farmhouse built 314 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,159 in nineteen eleven, so I figured that it would be 315 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,200 the perfect place for more occurrences. Of course, the first 316 00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:38,000 day of clearing rooms out and cleaning, I opened a 317 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,320 drawer in one of the bedrooms to find a very 318 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,200 old wooden Uiji board. It was the only thing left 319 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,159 in the bedrooms all by itself. I probably still have 320 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,320 the video that I took when we found it. My 321 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600 mom freaked out and took it outside, immediately, leaving it 322 00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:59,320 on the curb. It was gone within an hour. Now 323 00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:02,679 here's the strain, just part. Nothing, and I mean nothing 324 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,000 has happened since I moved. No figure standing over me, 325 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,119 no feeling like I'm not alone, or I'm being watched. 326 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,160 I bought the house over four years ago, and still 327 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,000 to this day, ever since leaving that apartment nothing. I 328 00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:20,319 don't see the figure at all anymore. I finally felt safe, 329 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,079 and I continued to do so to this day. Although 330 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,920 I'm not complaining about it, I am a bit confused 331 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,279 as to what happened. Where did it go? What? Was 332 00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:34,160 it a demon? A ghost? Is it still at that apartment? 333 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,960 Did it go through some portal in the mirrors there 334 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,680 and not come back? Or is it back at my 335 00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:43,240 parents' house. They still live in that house, though I 336 00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:46,559 have not stayed the night there ever since, they haven't 337 00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:50,680 said that they have heard or seen anything unusual. I 338 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,440 have since sold the house and moved once again, but 339 00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:57,920 still nothing. Totally and completely at peace. Did it find 340 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,359 someone else to follow? I have many questions, but I'm 341 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:09,079 really just happy to finally be rid of it. So 342 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,119 now that everyone has the backstory on Savannah's experiences, I'd 343 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,920 like to read her most recent email asking for help. 344 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,559 WHI again, I'm not sure if you remember my story. 345 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:22,039 It's been a while, and I fear that I might 346 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:25,559 need your help. I'm wondering if you or anyone who 347 00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:28,680 heard my story has had any idea or feedback on 348 00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:31,200 what I might have been dealing with and where it 349 00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:34,960 might have gone. I'm very worried. You see, I'm moving 350 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,440 out of my current apartment and into a new one 351 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,400 that will not be ready for at least two weeks, 352 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,039 so I need to stay with my parents during that 353 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,119 time in that same house. I'm sure you can imagine 354 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,279 how that makes me feel, as I have not stayed 355 00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:51,000 the night there ever since that all happened. I would 356 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,240 be lying if I said I wasn't terrified of it 357 00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:57,160 coming back. What if it's back there waiting. What if 358 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,680 it can somehow feel that I'm back there from wherever 359 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,400 it may be, And what if it finds me again? 360 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,119 I have no other choice but to stay with them, 361 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,640 so I'm so worried that it will find me and 362 00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:10,920 follow me back to my new apartment. Any and all 363 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,279 advice would be greatly appreciated. I really hope this email 364 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,079 finds you before six thirty, twenty twenty five. That's my 365 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,799 move out date out of this apartment. Thank you for 366 00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:25,319 sharing my story and for any possible advice you may 367 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,400 be able to give me. After responding to Savannah and 368 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,240 letting her know that I would ask all of you 369 00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:35,240 for help. She followed up with this message, thank you 370 00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:37,759 so much. I'm not sure if it helps, but I 371 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:40,519 do have a theory I didn't mention in my story before. 372 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,759 I of course wonder if whatever it was went back 373 00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:46,680 to my parents, or if something happened with the mirrors. 374 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,759 What I didn't say, though, was I'm wondering if it 375 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:52,599 was because the house I bought was also haunted of 376 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,400 its own accord. There was an old woman who lived 377 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,480 there who died. When she died, the house was given 378 00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:01,599 to her son or nephew, I can't remember which, and 379 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,000 he sold it. I never felt the same dark presence 380 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,079 or saw that figure, but I felt her. I think 381 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,319 she was still in that house. It was not a 382 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,319 bad feeling or bad energy at all. She would turn 383 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,839 lights on that I had off, and I always thought 384 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:18,359 that it was because she wanted them on for my cats. 385 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,920 My friends would house slash cat sit and they would 386 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,960 text me confused and saying, I know I turned the 387 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:27,680 lights off, but I just got back here and they're 388 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,920 on again. I, however, wouldn't get scared, and I would 389 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,519 just respond, oh, that's just the ghost. She keeps turning 390 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,240 them on for the cats. It was almost comforting because 391 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,119 I thought maybe she was protecting my house from whatever 392 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,599 used to follow me. There was also this specific candle 393 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,160 that she hated. I hated it too. It smelled horrible, 394 00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:50,319 so I never let it. It just stayed as a 395 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,759 decoration on my desk. Every morning I would wake up 396 00:20:53,799 --> 00:20:55,839 with it on the floor like she had pushed it 397 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,359 off the desk. Multiple times I saw it actually jump 398 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,400 or fly off the desk itself. One time, my friend 399 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,440 was with me and he was sitting at the desk 400 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,599 and I was on the couch a couple feet away. 401 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,240 It jumped right off the desk in front of both 402 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,400 of us. I just laughed and said, I told you, 403 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,720 she doesn't like that candle. Again. It never felt like 404 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:20,119 it did growing up. I was never scared. The same 405 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,400 thing happened when my parents were standing in the living 406 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200 room with me, and it once again came bouncing off 407 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,279 the desk and onto the floor. I said the same 408 00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:31,400 thing to my parents, See, she is not a fan 409 00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:35,279 of that candle. They both just stared wide eyed, and 410 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,400 my dad made a comment about how we better be 411 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,759 careful remodeling the house and to do the ghost justice 412 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,519 so she stays happy. Anyway, I'm sorry to ramble. I'm 413 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:47,519 not sure if any of that is useful, but a 414 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:49,519 part of me thought that that was why it didn't 415 00:21:49,559 --> 00:21:52,799 follow me to that house. Maybe it couldn't because of her, 416 00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:55,680 or maybe it's in the mirrors in the old apartment, 417 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,880 or maybe it's at my parents. I don't know if 418 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,640 I'll ever get answers, but that's not why I reached out. 419 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,359 Of course, I just don't want it to start again. 420 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,640 I have to stay with my parents because of my cats. 421 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,920 That's why I have no other option until my new 422 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,920 apartment is ready. And one more thing, I regifted that 423 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,559 candle to a friend and I replaced it with another 424 00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:21,960 one I actually lit because I like the smell, and 425 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:26,440 it never once fell off that desk. Again. I appreciate 426 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:32,039 all your help, Savannah, So if anyone has advice or 427 00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:34,920 can offer any help to Savannah, please don't hesitate to 428 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,279 reach out to me at Paranormal Mysteries Podcast at gmail 429 00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:41,480 dot com or through my contact form on my website, 430 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,359 and I'll make sure that she gets your message. Also, 431 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,000 be sure to let me know whether or not it's 432 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,920 all right for me to share your email address with 433 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Savannah in case she has additional questions about your message. 434 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,000 Over the next couple of weeks, I'll keep everyone updated 435 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,559 on how Savannah is doing. That is, of course, if 436 00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:00,920 she wants me to, and in the meantime, I appreciate 437 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,240 anyone who is able to lend a hand.
