So for listener tales, we are starting off here 30 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.120 with Cheyenne or Shy. I'm not going to be sharing 31 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.519 any last names from anyone, just to keep personal information quiet. 32 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:22.079 That's good. 33 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.879 But Shy has sent us this. She says, this is 34 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.319 the time I dated a murderer. 35 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:33.079 Oh okay, yeah, starting out strong there, right. 36 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.239 So I'm going to read verbatim what Cheyenne wrote. So 37 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.079 imagine me as cheyennecause she wrote this in the first person. Yes, 38 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.239 I was fifteen years old, a sophomore at high school 39 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.040 in South Florida, and a little confused about where my 40 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.000 life was heading. As most of us were in high school, 41 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.239 I was depressed and I experimented with drugs often. Picture 42 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.760 up a tet, one hundred pound, light skinned girl who 43 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.000 only wore black and had dyed colorful hair, that listens 44 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.359 into heavy metal rock music and carried around a set 45 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.879 of drumsticks. I met a guy named David, and he 46 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.159 was a little older than me. I think at the 47 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.919 time he was eighteen nineteen. We met at the civic 48 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.599 Center that was ten minutes walking distance from my house. 49 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.599 He was friends with my ex for girlfriend, who was 50 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.439 still friendly with me, and his brother was my friend 51 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.319 as well. We gravitated towards each other like moths to 52 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.960 a flame. We had this deeply misunderstood feeling about ourselves 53 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.360 and that was one of the things that really brought 54 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.879 us together. We spent every day together for months. He 55 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.159 would wait for me by my house as I walked 56 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.879 home from school, or he would wait at the bus 57 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.240 stop for me when I decided to take the bus. 58 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.000 We would smoke weed and do a couple of other 59 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.240 things together. Once I brought him home, my mom said 60 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.280 she didn't like him, but wouldn't intervene in my relationship. 61 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.159 We broke up shortly after him meeting my mom and 62 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.199 family because he was going to the Army and I 63 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.560 was going through some mental health issues that made it 64 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.800 difficult to focus on someone else in the relationship. One day, 65 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.159 I stopped seeing him around the neighborhood. I questioned it, 66 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.080 but didn't think anything of it until I saw him 67 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.759 on the news one night. David Smith not his real 68 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:27.120 last name, arrested for murder. I was stunned and shocked. Wow, 69 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.360 my mouth dropped open, and I swear you could hear 70 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.159 it hit the floor. I was completely confused. I instantly 71 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.000 took my phone out and googled it. He and a 72 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.240 roommate were arrested for murdering their landlord. 73 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.319 Wow. 74 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.520 The landlord was bound, gagged, beaten, and rolled up in 75 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.479 a rug and tossed in the canal in the back 76 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.039 of the house with a box of his belongings. They 77 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.319 murdered the elderly landlord. Oh my gosh, I think he 78 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.960 was in his seventies because they didn't want to pay rent. 79 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.960 I was disgusted and appalled, but I could now say 80 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.000 I dated a murderer. 81 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:10.639 Holy shit. 82 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.960 Could you imagine seeing your ex on the news only 83 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.759 to find out that they killed someone while you're dating them? 84 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.360 Oh? Were they together? But yeah, at the time of the. 85 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.480 Murder, well, I believe so, or maybe it was afterwards, 86 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.319 though I don't know how well. 87 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.480 I mean she did say sometime later, so actually it 88 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.319 could have been that they committed it afterwards. 89 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.639 Right, But still that he had it in him, yes, 90 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.120 to commit murder and you were dating him? Yes, Yes, 91 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.639 that is very unnerving. Yeah, I think I would have 92 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.800 trouble sleeping and wondering. 93 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.600 I would be thanking my lucky stars as it ended 94 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:55.199 when it did. 95 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.920 Actually that too, because yeah, if you were still dating, 96 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.360 could you imagine eh hitting? 97 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.319 Oh okay, that's that's a lot. 98 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:04.639 Do you think that's going to be something that we 99 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.639 can beat? Well, I'm not going to compare them to 100 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.319 each other, but I mean that that that's setting the 101 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:09.920 bar high as all that is very. 102 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.160 Much so, because yeah, that doesn't it gets I would 103 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.160 struggle with that one. 104 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.360 Yeah yeah. 105 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:21.000 But also like you're being on the positive side, like shit, yeah. 106 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:21.360 Yeah, she got out. 107 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:22.199 I got out of that. 108 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.079 Yeah, no longer associating with this motherfucker.

Yeah, And of all the reasons to 114 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.360 kill someone, I think killing just for the sake of 115 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.800 killing is a better reason than I don't want to 116 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:43.399 pay rent. 117 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.720 Yeah, but not that. 118 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.360 Either a good reason though if they were on drugs 119 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:50.959 or something at the time when they were doing it, 120 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.959 or oh, potentially right or under some influence of something. Still, 121 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.040 I mean, that's no reason whatever, But no. 122 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.959 Reason is a good reason.

We lived in 133 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.759 an older apartment above a bar closed for years on 134 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.839 the south side of Milwaukee. We always heard weird noises 135 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.879 at all hours, and my fiance was actually touched in 136 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.439 the attic. We went to bed one night and fell 137 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.319 asleep fairly quickly. I woke up in the middle of 138 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.800 the night because I heard something in the living room. 139 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.279 Both of us have insomnia, so it's not unusual for 140 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:54.800 one of us to wake up and go to the 141 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.120 other room to read or play video games or whatever. 142 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.800 I looked down to the bedroom door and saw a 143 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.720 dark figure outside the bedroom door and heard shuffling noises. 144 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:05.920 Gosh. 145 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.600 I of course thought it was my fiance, so I 146 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.839 yelled at him to be quiet and come back to bed. 147 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.519 No response. I repeated it and got no response again, 148 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.800 so I simply said, we'll just be quiet please. I 149 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.920 rolled over to go back to sleep and rolled into 150 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.839 my fiance, who had never left the bed. I got 151 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.759 instant chills and covered my head with the blanket and 152 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.000 shut my eyes while trying to get as close to 153 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.279 him as possible. I eventually fell back to sleep. Creep 154 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.279 me out big time and is something I will never forget. 155 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.560 Okay. 156 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.160 The fact that you just like we're able to go 157 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.279 back to sleep is mind blowing, right. 158 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.160 I just think if that was. 159 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.079 Me, I'd be like, Ben, wake the fuck up, like 160 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.680 we're out.

So is it possible that 166 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.160 it was a dream? Yeah, I mean I doubt it. 167 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.600 I'm pretty sure she's she's certain, but I'm just curious. 168 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.000 We're assuming this is a ghost right of sorts, and 169 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.040 not like a burglar. 170 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.920 I'm well, I'm assuming she didn't say that she was. 171 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.799 Robbed, yeah, or just someone breaking in though, like's, oh 172 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.559 my gosh, I don't know either way, that's too much.

So I 192 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:28.240 was out. 193 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.399 Because it was the middle of the night, and I 194 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.279 accidentally turned the loft light on. Huh, and that didn't 195 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.720 even wake you. I was a little surprised. Huh. 196 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.440 Interesting with my face covered by the blankets, because again, 197 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.480 that barrier protects you from everything. 198 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.919 I don't know. I can't recall all right. 199 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.600 On to the next one here, So we got Laurie 200 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.080 who sent this one in. This story takes place back 201 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.159 in nineteen six in the nineteen sixties, Okay, when I 202 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.080 was a little girl. I'm the youngest of three girls 203 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.360 when this happened. I was three years old, my next sister, 204 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.240 Christy was and my oldest sister, Roxanne, was eight. It 205 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.639 was Halloween and we were all dressed and ready to 206 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.559 go out trick or treating. The three of us had 207 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.320 never been allowed to go out on our own, so 208 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.960 Roxanne was doing some major pleading with our folks, and 209 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.480 she was old enough to take us and be responsible 210 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.039 for us. We had a specific route we had to 211 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.799 stick to, and they agreed on a time when we 212 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.360 had to be back home. We had been out for 213 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.080 about an hour when we ended up approaching this house. 214 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.720 We walked on the front porch, rang the bell and waited. 215 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.360 After a while, a guy opened the door. We yelled 216 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:40.399 trick or treat, giddy with excitement. The guy opens the 217 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.440 door a little more and we see a gorilla chained 218 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.039 up in the corner of the living room to the wall. 219 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.639 He's jumping up and down and pulling on the chain. 220 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.360 The guy at the door says, it's okay, he's not 221 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:58.159 getting out of those chains. What. At that moment, the 222 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.799 gorilla breaks the chain and charges towards the door. Oh 223 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.080 my gosh, directly at the three of us. At this point, 224 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.679 I don't really remember much. My oldest six sister, Roxanne, 225 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.120 grabbed me and my other sister and we ran down 226 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.600 the driveway as fast as we could. As we were fleeing, 227 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.039 the gorilla had come out the door and was chasing 228 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:23.559 after us. As we got across the street, the gorilla stops, 229 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.519 takes off its head and yells, hey, girls, come back, 230 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:28.720 It's just a joke. 231 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.879 Oh my gosh, Okay, I'm like, this is freaking terrifying. 232 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.960 Which she says, which was the farthest thing from our minds. 233 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.679 Me and my sister Christy were crying and totally terrified. 234 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.960 We were about four blocks from home, which meant nothing 235 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.679 to us as we ran the entire way home. 236 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.480 Oh my gosh. 237 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.919 After we got home, it took quite a while for 238 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.080 us to calm down enough to tell our folks about 239 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.720 what just happened. When we realized I did not even 240 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.679 have my Halloween candy bag. I must have dropped it 241 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.840 as we're seeing for our lives. Just then, my father 242 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.519 told my sister Roxanne to show him the house. My 243 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:10.720 father was on a mission to find those guys and 244 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:15.000 give a good ass chewing, which he did. When they 245 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.240 came back, he now had my candy bag, saying, I 246 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.720 bet they never do that again. To this day, fifty 247 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.320 seven years later, I can't even look at a gorilla, 248 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:30.919 real or fake without being totally terrified. Every time the 249 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.840 three of us get together, this story always comes up. 250 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.559 We all can laugh about it now, but that was 251 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.159 not the case years ago. Roxanne still swears to this 252 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.919 day that she wasn't scared and knew it was all 253 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.240 fake along, which Christie and I totally disagree with. She 254 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:52.480 was just as scared as we were. That is terrifying 255 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.320 and hilarious. I'm sorry it happened. 256 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.039 It's a bit hilarious, but those people probably went a 257 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.759 bit too far. Definitely can go too far. Oh shit 258 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.120 like that. 259 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.279 Yeah, especially this being in the in the sixties where 260 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.159 it's like this sort of stuff. I don't think me 261 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.639 mind you, I wasn't alive then, I don't think this 262 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.960 sort of stuff would have been occurring too much, Like 263 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.399 Halloween wasn't as big of a horrifying, terrifying thing, I 264 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.840 don't think from my perspective. But but yeah, could you 265 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.720 imagine fucking gorilla chained up chasing you like that? 266 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.960 Well, yeah, and it'cessially like at first to be like 267 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.519 so alarmed that this person has a gorilla in their 268 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.960 freaking house, no kidding, and then it, oh, it's not 269 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.120 going to get loose, and then this thing gets loose, 270 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.679 like I would actually probably piss myself, especially if you're 271 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.559 three years old. 272 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.919 Yeah, no kidding. I could like I could see okay, 273 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.679 playing the prank of like oh, it gets out and 274 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.840 then you close the door, but like chasing you down 275 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.200 the fuck yeah driveway and street, that is way too excessive. 276 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:53.000 That's yeah. 277 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.000 I have actually had some times though, like trigger trading, 278 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:02.679 where people have jumped out and scared you, and I mean, yeah, 279 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.200 I just don't even know if you could get away 280 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.879 with that nowadays necessarily. 281 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.000 I don't think so. 282 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.399 Yeah, you just have to have inflatable blow up shit 283 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:10.960 in your yard. 284 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.320 Yeah, you're right. Oh my gosh, I think if something 285 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.559 like that were to happen nowadays, I think it would 286 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.519 be more than just someone getting yelled at. I think 287 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.320 like cops would probably be involved, probably most likely. 288 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.000 Yeah, Oh my gosh, that is a story. 289 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.960 Now, that is quite the story. Thank you Laurie for sharing. 290 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.799 That, and I am curious though a follow up question? 291 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.600 Did you go trick or treating the next year? 292 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.879 Yeah? Have you gone trick or treating since ever? Again? 293 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.360 Yeah? Holyh and was. 294 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.919 That Halloween candy worth it? Our next one here comes 295 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.440 from Hannah to start. I don't really believe in a 296 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.279 whole lot of paranormal slash ghost phenomena, but I really 297 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.360 got to say, what happened to me really makes me 298 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.519 question my whole belief system. I need to give a 299 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.679 little back story though, before I get into it, so 300 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.600 bear with me. At the time of the event, I'm 301 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.120 eight years old. Kids are creepy and always seeing weird shit, 302 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:13.519 so makes sense my godmother was someone that I saw occasionally, 303 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.879 maybe like once a year, When I would visit her, 304 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.399 sometimes her best friend surely would be with her. I 305 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.600 only met Shirley a couple times, but from what I remember, 306 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.159 she was a sweet old woman. During this time, she 307 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.159 had a heart attack and was put into a medically 308 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:34.679 induced coma. However, I was not aware of this whatsoever. 309 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.159 Like I said, I only met her a couple of times, 310 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.440 so it wasn't really urgent news. Or sorry, it wasn't 311 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.919 really urgent news to inform a little eight year old 312 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:47.039 me this. Now, just keep all that in mind and 313 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:51.000 let's get into the actual story. Allow me to set 314 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.759 the scene. My friend Eric and I are hanging out 315 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:57.200 in her front yard of our suburban neighborhood, the good 316 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:01.639 old days before phones and iPads. Right, We were playing 317 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.080 a little game we called Sweet and Sour. So the 318 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.080 premise of it goes, we literally just stand on the 319 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.360 sidewalk outside wave at cars. If they wave back, they're sweet, 320 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:18.240 they don't, they're sour. Okay, yeah, you get the point. 321 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.159 It was probably around four PM, so the sun was 322 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.399 still up and shining. We played this game for about 323 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.200 an hour, waving at cars and cheering if they waved back. 324 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.080 Most would, some wouldn't, and somehow that entertained us. After 325 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.519 some time, a light brown, older looking car came around 326 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.279 the corner. We did our usual process, smiling and waving. 327 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.200 The car slowed down drastically and rolled unnervingly close to 328 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.960 us along the sidewalk. My first thought was, uh, oh, 329 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.080 my parents wore me about things like this. But then 330 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.600 as a car rolled directly in front of us, a 331 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.240 reassuring feeling swept over me. Just about three feet away 332 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.919 from me was my grandmother's friend. Surely, we waved back, 333 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.960 and the car drove off down the street until out 334 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.400 of view. I immediately looked over at Erica and said, 335 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.400 I think that was my godmother's friend. Think her name 336 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.599 is Shirley. We both shrugged and continued on our game 337 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.799 until I was called home for dinner. I had completely 338 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.160 disregarded the event and basically forgot that it happened that night. 339 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.640 The next evening, while eating dinner with my dad my brother, 340 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.440 my dad informed us that our godmother's best friend died. 341 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.640 She had a heart attack about a week prior and 342 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:37.880 sadly passed away last night Nacoma. This utterly baffled me. 343 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.200 How could this be possible? I literally just saw her 344 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.079 driving around last night, with a mundane event now becoming 345 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.400 extremely puzzling. I immediately told my dad what had happened. 346 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.599 At first, he thought I must have been confused. She 347 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.839 had been in Nacoma for over a week. Maybe I 348 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.279 just saw someone that looked like her. I insisted it 349 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.359 was her, describing her appearance to a tea. Then I 350 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.680 recounted the car she was driving. Granted, in a few 351 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.119 times that I met her, I had never seen her car. 352 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.960 My dad's face went white when he said there was 353 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.359 an old, light brown car. He told me that's her car. 354 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.839 As much as I had questioned myself, I know what 355 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.279 I saw. Even more compelling is the fact that Erica 356 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.440 saw her too. I don't know if it was a spirit, 357 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.200 a ghost, or something else, but it was her. It 358 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.279 wasn't scary or chilling or anything that you'd expect from 359 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.359 a ghost. I felt kind of endearing. I've tried to 360 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.599 wrap my brain around why Shirley would visit me. I 361 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.519 only met her so many times, but I like to 362 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.160 think that she must have just really taken a liking 363 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.319 to me. Regardless, I am honored to have been her 364 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.119 final goodbye. 365 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:57.400 There you go literal goost bumps. Yeah, that story actually 366 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:58.519 gave me goost bumps. 367 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.480 It is chilling. Like, if there's one word that I 368 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.720 have for this, it's haunting.
