Tonight, we're joined by Stephen from New 31 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.959 York State, who's had more than the fair share of 32 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.879 strange encounters. One unforgettable night during his teenage years, a 33 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.000 quiet swim with a friend turned surreal when a blinding 34 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.080 light and a deep vibrating hum descended above their pool, 35 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:18.000 leaving the boys in stand silence. Later, as an adult, 36 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:23.759 Stephen encountered a truly massive, flat bottomed craft drifting silently 37 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.759 over his neighborhood. It was a moment of awe, quickly 38 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.280 followed by disbelief from others. Into a friend independently confirmed 39 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.680 seeing the same UFO just miles away, down to the 40 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.840 exact shape and eerie presence. Stephen siting span decades and 41 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.039 defy explanation.

Now on the show. 48 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.719 Hello Stephen, Welcome to the show, hither Neid. 49 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.360 He is great to have you with us tonight and 50 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.439 you'll call in from New York State. Yes, I am 51 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.520 now Stephen. You have some experiences to share. Would you 52 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:31.680 like to start at the beginning? 53 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:32.039 Please? 54 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.639 Yes, I would love to. I have you know, always 55 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.319 had sightings growing up from starting from the age of five, 56 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.039 and I never really thought too much about it. I 57 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.599 just thought, oh, that's cool. It's different because when I 58 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.599 was growing up, we really didn't have any exposure to 59 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:53.199 these things. I'm talking about late sixties, early seventies into 60 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.840 the eighties. But I had two really unique experiences that 61 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.919 I want to focus on tonight. But I also want 62 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:04.439 to share with you that my main thing is for 63 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.520 most of my experiences was clarification. I actually got some 64 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.159 clarification for these things, so it really made me even 65 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.399 wonder more so what happened to me? You know, what 66 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.199 did I just experience? So the very first experience, I 67 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.879 was five years old and my sister and I were 68 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.120 came home from school. I was in kindergarten and I 69 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.879 think she was in first grade. My grandmother this and 70 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.639 she would be in the kitchen, you know, taking around 71 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.120 making cookies or something. When we would come home, it 72 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.839 would be probably around two o'clock or two thirty. She 73 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.560 would make us a sandwich, you know, usually peanut butter 74 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.480 and jelly, and we'd sit at the kitchen window, at 75 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.040 the table that faced out to the edge of our 76 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.120 suburban development, which was pretty country like because it was 77 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.720 just being built, so outside this window there were no 78 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.600 houses yet, but there was there was still a road, 79 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.000 and then it went up a dirt road up on 80 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.079 a pretty big hill, and we were eating our sandwich 81 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.839 and I looked out the window and my sister Betsy says, Oh, 82 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.199 my gosh, what's that? And I said, oh, look at that. 83 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.160 It was a fuzzy, pink and blue blowing saucer that 84 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.319 must have been right on the top of the hill, 85 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.319 not too far from where we were in our house 86 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.319 looking out this window. So we dropped everything and ran 87 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.600 outside to go look. And as soon as we got 88 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.800 out there the thing was gone. But we were we 89 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.759 thought it was so cool, and we were asking my 90 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.360 grandmother what she thought it was, and we just all dumbfounded. 91 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.240 And he looked at each other and said, well, that 92 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.959 was cool. And that was pretty much it for that one. 93 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.160 But then as I grew up, oh, there'd be instances 94 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.839 that were just out of the blue. Like for one time, 95 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.519 I was in the car with all my brothers and 96 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.639 sisters and my dad was driving, and we were going 97 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.720 to church, and he said, hey, kids, look at that, 98 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.199 And it was orange glowing saucer that was zipping around 99 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.079 on just above the mountain side, above the hot in 100 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.759 front of us on the highway, and we all just 101 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.560 looked at amazement, as it almost knew we were watching it, 102 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.439 and it was doing a little show for us. And 103 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.600 then there was another time when I was I think 104 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.560 in seventh or eighth grade. I was like thirteen, and 105 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.839 I was up at my best friend Mark's swimming pool 106 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.120 at night that just the two of us were swimming 107 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.480 out there alone, and there were some pool lights on, 108 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.079 but it was still pretty dark. We're sitting there and 109 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.199 all of a sudden we hear what sounded like almost 110 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.079 like a continuous drum beat, pretty loud, and then all 111 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.800 of a sudden, there was this huge beam of light 112 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.279 that showed down on the pool, and all we could 113 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.199 see was this big, glowing kind of orb light thing 114 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.639 shooting this beam right down at us at the pool. 115 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.959 We're both in amazement, and then before you knew it, 116 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.399 the drum beat, vibrating sun quit, and then the thing 117 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.040 took off. We must have sat there for two hours 118 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.879 trying to figure out what the heck that was. It 119 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.399 was not a helicopter, because I know what a helicopter 120 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.759 looks like, we both did. But it was just a 121 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.720 really freaky incident. And then a few probably about ten 122 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.639 years later, where I lived the same area, I was 123 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.480 driving to a friend's house and it was just about nighttime, 124 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.199 and I came to the stop sign that came to 125 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.560 this major thoroughfare road you know, that I had to 126 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.839 take to get to my friends, and I was going 127 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.360 to go right, so I looked. I rolled down the 128 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.519 window and looked out the left to see if I 129 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.319 could go, and the traffic was free, and just as 130 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:44.120 I looked up, I saw this enormous, massive black bottom 131 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.800 ship fly by, like little lights on it, but it 132 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.160 was just so entirely black. It was almost invisible, but 133 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.199 you could still see it there, and it made the 134 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.040 tree top kind of wave back and forth because it 135 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.199 was that low. So I'm watching an amazement and then 136 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.600 all of a sudden, I couldn't see it anymore. So 137 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.199 I went ahead and went to my party and I 138 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.720 had to tell everyone about it. Well, they all laughed 139 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.319 and thought, you're full of it, Steve. So the next day, 140 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.079 my best friend Carolyn called and she lived down the 141 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.199 street from me, and she was working that night right 142 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.319 around the same time that I thought, and she was 143 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.160 coming home from work and she said, you're not going 144 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.439 to believe what I saw. Well, she described the same 145 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.120 exact thing that I saw. So that was That's what 146 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.720 I'm talking about clarification. It's so cool to be able 147 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.759 to have that clarification that it was definitely something you saw. 148 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.080 It gives you the clarification that you truly did see 149 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.720 what you saw. Now. One of the most unique experiences 150 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.399 that I had was in nineteen eighty five, after I 151 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.200 went to community college for two years, I got into 152 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.000 a really good school for graphic design, so a transfer 153 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.960 and I went to school there a full year and 154 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.440 I was living in a four person apartment right on campus. 155 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.679 I had to take my major catch up with my majors, 156 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.720 so I had to take summer classes so I had 157 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.120 to be there all summer. Well, the only thing was 158 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:21.519 is they didn't let us stay in the one apartment 159 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.519 buildings over the summer because they close them. So I 160 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.039 had to find someone to live with. So I met 161 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.960 this guy, Dave was in my program and he was 162 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.480 about ten years older than I was, and he overheard 163 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.960 me talking to one of my friends and he said, Hey, 164 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.759 you know, I need a roommate this summer. Why don't 165 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.200 you check out my apartment and maybe you can stay 166 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.000 with me and we'll split the rent. So you know 167 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.840 how you are in college, you're just very laid back 168 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.840 and chill, and you're just ready for the next big thing, 169 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.360 and you're really focusing on your study, so you know 170 00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:00.039 you need to carry on and make split decisions. So 171 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.720 I like Dave. Dave seemed like a nice guy. I 172 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.519 saw the apartment and he showed me where I was 173 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.639 going to sleep, so I was more than happy to 174 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.840 stay there for the summer. So school started for the summer, 175 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.559 which was pretty much the week after it ended because 176 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.200 we had trimesters. So I moved on in from one 177 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.480 apartment to the other, and I was so busy with 178 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.799 my major. I spent a lot of the time, my 179 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.480 extra time in the studio doing my work. So after 180 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.519 about a month of living there with him for the summer, 181 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.240 he said to me, you know, you really need to 182 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.200 take a break. Why don't you come with me and 183 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.440 my friend Dale. We're going to housewatch for a friend 184 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.600 of ours over the weekend. He's going to be gone 185 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.559 for a week. He's at a convention. So I said, 186 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.600 all right. He talked me into it. So the three 187 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.000 of us got in the car and we drove to 188 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.480 this lake and we drove up to this cottage. It 189 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.679 was like a lake cottage kind of thing, but it 190 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.240 was more. It was the size of a house, but 191 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.879 a small house. And when we drove up, you could 192 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.519 see that they had done a lot of work on 193 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.200 it and it was updated. They had a nice back 194 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.279 And we pulled up, went in the house and they 195 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.399 started telling me these crazy stories about the guy who 196 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.200 whose house set is. And he said, this is our 197 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.440 friend Bill's house, and we're really close to him. He's 198 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.240 welcoming you to stay here with us, but we got 199 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:29.159 to tell you confidentially, he is not from here. He's 200 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.000 from a planet called Era. I started to like really 201 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.120 worry about that. I thought, oh my god, these guys 202 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.960 are nuts, you know, and I'm alone with them, and 203 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.919 I have no car, no transportation to get away. It 204 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.320 was just so strange the stories they were telling me. 205 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.559 So I just figured, you know what, I can't be 206 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.120 a nervous nellie or ned so I'm just going to 207 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.200 go with it. So I did, and I just acted cool. 208 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.600 And we got in the house and they were showing 209 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.799 me around, and they said, well, why don't you hang 210 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.279 out here and we'll go get dinner at the little 211 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.080 grocery store down the road. So I was all fine 212 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.440 with that. And I'm sitting in the living room and 213 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.039 I had a bag of some shirts that I had 214 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:14.759 just bought at the store that I brought with me. 215 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.960 So I was trying a shirt on and looking in 216 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.960 the mirror, and I swear there was someone watching me. 217 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.000 You know how you feel someone's behind your back watching you. 218 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.120 So I'm looking again at the shirt and then I 219 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.399 heard a giggle and I'm looking around and I'm like freaking, 220 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.399 totally freaking out. So I decided, well, I'm going to 221 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.159 go in the other room. This is freaking me out. 222 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.039 So I went into the living room and I'm thinking 223 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.320 about what they're trying to tell me about this the 224 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.639 owner of this house, you know that he's from another planet. 225 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.159 And so I'm like, Okay, I've got to really do 226 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.639 some searching around this house while there. And I think 227 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.960 they set me up for this, I'm thinking. But then again, 228 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.440 I'm like, there's no way they could have done all this, 229 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.559 all that I experienced. I went through the bookshelves on 230 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.440 one wall. They were all built in, and I saw 231 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:10.080 just a numerous strange things, like there were crystals all over, 232 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.360 some that I've seen before, some I didn't know what 233 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.200 were what they were. And then there were photo albums 234 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.679 in the bookshelf, and so I picked out one of 235 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.000 them and I'm flipping through them, and you know how 236 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.039 you can tell the age of the photo when they 237 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.759 were taken by the borders. So there were some with 238 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.080 white boarders that looked all black and white even, and 239 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.559 there's this guy with different people in every photo just 240 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:40.399 about and he looked the same, ageless. So we're talking 241 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.480 photos from like the sixties all the way to present time. 242 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.240 So I thought that was really odd. And then I 243 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.480 picked up another book and it was like a big 244 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.039 folder and it had children's drawings in there, tons of them, 245 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.639 just stats of them, and they were prem drawings of children, 246 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.480 holy hands on the planet on Earth, you know, on 247 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.879 our planet. And then there were messages we love you, 248 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.360 We're glad you're here, you know, like planetary little sketches 249 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.879 these kids did. And then I found a couple of 250 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.159 really strange books of that looked like universal maps. And 251 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.799 so I'm rummaging through all this stuff quick before they 252 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.279 get back, because I'm just if I had a cell phone, 253 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.519 I would have taken pictures, but I didn't have any 254 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.679 camera with me, so I just absorbed it mentally, you know. 255 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.799 So I'm going down, you know, these shelves, and I 256 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.759 picked up I swear to God, now that I think 257 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.039 about it, it was almost like an iPad. And when 258 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.320 I opened it up, it glowed. That was kind of 259 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:47.000 when digitals just pretty much was rearing its head. The 260 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.120 only thing I could think of was light bright. It 261 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.240 reminded me of when you do the light bright and 262 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.919 it all glows, and so I was mesmized by this. 263 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.960 I put it back and then I looked over to 264 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.759 the corner of the living room was something that looked 265 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.559 like a musical instrument, a combination between a musical instrument 266 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.759 and an exercise machine. So I was filling with this thing, 267 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.720 and I had all these levers and it almost had 268 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.480 like these organ base pedal things on it, and you 269 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.159 stood on that and you would maneuver it, and then 270 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.720 you'd take this tool and hit these different almost they 271 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.720 almost looked like bells. But my memory is a little 272 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.639 foggy about how I operated this thing. But the more 273 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.919 I operated it, the more the more I was in 274 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.600 a different, you know, frame of mind kind of thing. 275 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:42.639 It was almost like the power of music can kind 276 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.960 of take your mind away from you. Well that was 277 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.200 kind of what it felt like. So that was very 278 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:52.240 very meserrizing and weird. So after that, I looking around 279 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.039 the whole, the whole bottom floor of this house as 280 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.720 a whole, and I noticed there was a picture of 281 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:02.120 this woman in every room, the same woman. She had 282 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:06.279 like silver, big hair, really friendly looking. She had like 283 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.279 a Mona Lisa's smile, and her eyes followed you everywhere 284 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.279 you went. So as I'm looking at her, I heard 285 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:21.279 this giggle again. So I'm thinking, is this house paranormal haunted? 286 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.200 You know, I didn't even know what paranormal was back then. 287 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.720 But I just get everything I saw or did while 288 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.120 they were away. I was just totally creeped out. So 289 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.200 then the phone rings and I'm like, well should I 290 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.519 answer it? And I thought, well, I'm the only one here, 291 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.639 so I answered it, and it was the owner of 292 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.720 the house. It was Bill and he said, hey, Steven, 293 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.120 I'm glad you're here. I've been waiting to talk to you. 294 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.000 He said, you know, I'm always your friend. I just 295 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.559 want you to know that. And he said, right now, 296 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.919 I'm at a convention. I'm trying to help your God 297 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.640 with the cure for cancer, is what he said. And 298 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.799 he said, so they're really on me, and my house 299 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.319 is totally If you see a black on Mark car 300 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.720 pull up in the driveway, ignore it. That happens all 301 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.759 the time. And just as he said that, I'm looking 302 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.079 out the kitchen window and there was it on Mark 303 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.759 black car right in the driveway. So then he's talking 304 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.279 about I swear he said something about the Galactic Federation, 305 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:33.160 and then the phone crackled it disconnected. So I'm just 306 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.839 standing there like, Okay, this is really weird. Just then 307 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.599 the guys drove up with the grocers that they come in, 308 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.799 and I told him what happened? Oh you you talked 309 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.559 to Bill. Oh yeah, he's great, you know, talking like 310 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:51.240 a matter of factly, really laid back. And so we're 311 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.799 standing in the kitchener while they're fixing dinner, and we're 312 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.000 talking and there was a paper with hieroglyphics that I 313 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.440 saw right out in the open, and the guys were 314 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.720 telling me, oh, yeah, this isn't something you should see, 315 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.400 and they took it away from me, and then I 316 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.519 am just such a At this point, I was just 317 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:14.519 so snoopy. I picked up this box that was by 318 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.880 the phone and I opened it up and there was 319 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.799 this big blue, kind of like large marble and I 320 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:23.680 was holding it, and you know, I thought it was 321 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:25.960 like a bend Wa ball or something. You know, that 322 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.279 was kind of kitchy back then. So I'm just tossing 323 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.519 it bagg and forth in my hand. That's what I 324 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.480 thought it was. And Dave turns around and goes, that's 325 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.920 not yours. I don't know why that's out there. Put 326 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.160 it down now. Yelled at me, that's Bills and it 327 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.400 shouldn't been out in the open like that. So they 328 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:46.680 grab that from me and put it somewhere. I don't 329 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.240 know where they put it. But anyway, we had our 330 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.119 dinner and we were talking and talking about our lives 331 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.240 and future and everything, and I kept thinking, these guys 332 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:02.960 are just not normal people. There was something magical about them. 333 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.799 And I'm not saying in an evil way. They were evil. 334 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.880 They were magical like it was just bizarre. They only 335 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.079 had like one happy emotion and that was it. They 336 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.599 didn't know anything like, they never complained, they never bitched 337 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.319 or moaned as I was about all my hard work 338 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.799 and all. So anyway, we had our dinner, and oh, 339 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.359 they did tell me the blue marble was kind of 340 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.319 like the correlation to our first aid kit. So if 341 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.880 you ever had any illness or it didn't feel well, 342 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.440 you could pick up this crystal blue marble and it 343 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.720 had healing powers. So that's pretty much all I got 344 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.839 on that blue marble thing. But we had our pasta 345 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.680 and I kept thinking about, you know, these guys are 346 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.680 trying to surprise me later with something or you know, 347 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:54.640 I don't know what it is, but I'm just going 348 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.920 to be mister cool. And we were watching a movie. 349 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.039 They had a he had a laser disc player. I 350 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.559 don't know if you remember a late laser disc but there, 351 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.799 you know, they're the size of a record album. You 352 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.839 put it in the machine and play your movie. So 353 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.440 we're watching it was one of my favorite movies now, 354 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:20.000 but the Never Ending Story, which was so appropriate for 355 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:24.079 this weekend. As we were watching the movie, a door 356 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:28.559 slammed upstairs, like really loud. It was a door slam 357 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.319 and I'm like, wow, what was that, you know, and 358 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:36.160 they're looking at me smiling, and it slammed again, and 359 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.359 then it slammed again, and like four times in a row. 360 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.160 In a horror film, you know, you're always thinking, what 361 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.359 an idiot that guy is going to go up there 362 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:49.799 and look for what's making those door slams. Well, I 363 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.519 did that. I went up the hair and looked all 364 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.559 three doors of the bedrooms upstairs were wide open. There 365 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.519 were no windows. All the windows were closed. So just 366 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.920 then I got the chills up and down my spine 367 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:05.119 and I started to run down the stairs. And as 368 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:09.079 I'm running down the stairs, an entity is running up 369 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.359 the stairs and literally almost knocked me over. So at 370 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:17.759 that point I'm like, what is going on? And Dave 371 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.519 and Dale just laughed and they said, oh, that's that's 372 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.920 just Margaret. She was living in this house before Bill 373 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:31.200 and got sick, got very ill and passed, So don't 374 00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:34.599 bother with her. You know she won't bother you. So 375 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.480 then I'm thinking, I just want to get the hell 376 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.799 out of this place. You know. I was just I 377 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:43.559 was twenty two, I think, so I was just not 378 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:48.599 really experienced doing things by myself or with other people 379 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.640 outside of my family and friends. So I was kind 380 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.119 of in that panic mode and I really kind of 381 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.640 want to just go home. And I thought, well, don't 382 00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:02.160 be a baby, you know, we'll sleep over here tonight, 383 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.480 and then tomorrow morning asked for them to take you 384 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.200 back to the college. I first of all, I called 385 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.559 DIBs on the downstairs bedroom. I said, there's no way 386 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.720 I'm sleeping upstairs with those slaming doors. We went to bed, 387 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.359 and they went upstairs, and I went downstairs bedroom, and 388 00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.160 I actually fell right to sleep. I don't know how, 389 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.440 but I did. And I woke up and I was 390 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.599 facing the wall by the window, and I woke up 391 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.519 with the curtains brushing on my face, like they have 392 00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:37.160 these big, like long shears on the window. And I 393 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.160 opened my eyes and I'm like, the windows are closed 394 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.759 and these curtains are blowing on me, so I'm kind 395 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.599 of in freak mode. And I turned to the other 396 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:48.799 side in the bed and I was going to put 397 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:53.079 the covers over my head, and their dog was standing 398 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.640 right next to my bed, staring me right in the 399 00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.200 face without a sound. So at that quick second and 400 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.920 I blurted out of the biggest scream you could imagine, 401 00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.720
