WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:04.919 I've seen to take the form of my parents. I've 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.919 seen to take the form of her mother, which is bizarre, 3 00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.560 friend's family, you name me. Probably every one close. 4 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.880 To me is probably taken fun of them. 5 00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.800 At some point, he learned to fight young boxing bullies fear. 6 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.480 Nothing ever got to him, but every few months something 7 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.760 waits for him in his bedroom, something he cannot punch outrun. 8 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.079 Or wake up from. My name is Edwin and here 9 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:38.759 is Gavin. It's true scary story. 10 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.159 My experiences started when I was six years old. I 11 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:54.679 lived at my parents' house in northern Illinois in the US. 12 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.119 It's probably close to three in the morning. That's when 13 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.759 I started. I had just woken up. 14 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.640 It's obviously pitch black in my room. 15 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.040 I had no idea what was going on, and only 16 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.159 being six years old, just completely terrified. 17 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.000 When I came to. 18 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.640 I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything. All I could 19 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.959 do was move my eyes. It was probably what felt 20 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.959 like a minute or two, and then that's when it started. 21 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.959 The first time I saw whatever you want to call it, 22 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.120 the demon, ghost, sleep, rosses, demon, just whatever thing is. 23 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:57.000 It came to me in the form of this old lady. 24 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.640 But it didn't go as usual. Sleep proalysis does that 25 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:02.480 I've always heard. 26 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.560 It started out by my door just creaking open to 27 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:16.719 my room. I'm thinking it's my mother, my dad, a 28 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.159 little sister or something. But the door creaks open and 29 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.159 the handle kind of bumps my wall. I'm looking and 30 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.280 I don't see anything. There's nothing in the doorway. It's 31 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:39.319 just black. I have a closet that kind of blocks 32 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.439 the entry to my room when the door's open. And 33 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.240 then that door started freaking open until it hit my 34 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.000 bedroom door. 35 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:52.240 It just like before. 36 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:58.360 Nothing there's nothing in the doorway, nothing there, which blew 37 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.319 my mind because that's when I started. 38 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.800 Like kind of panicking. 39 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:13.240 Another thirty seconds minute goes by, and it's just quiet. 40 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.159 I start hearing footsteps coming down the hallway, which is 41 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.680 not uncommon. It's a very preaky floor, so you can 42 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.919 hear everyone walking them the hallway. So once again I'm 43 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:35.520 thinking it's like my mother, my father, someone, This just 44 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:41.159 shadowy figure. I can't see any facial features, nothing, Just 45 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.400 this figure just turns the corner and just starts walking towards. 46 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.360 My doorway. 47 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.719 And it walks in and I get a little glimpse 48 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.960 from the street lamp outside into my room, and I. 49 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:05.879 Just see this gray face like old lady. 50 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:15.639 I'm both terrified and confused. At this time. I'm panicking. 51 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.439 I'm trying to move my body. I just cannot move. 52 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.720 She stops in my doorway and it's just staring at me. 53 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.199 Eventually she starts walking towards the edge of my bed, 54 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.600 and then she crouches down at the foot of my bed, 55 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:47.319 so I can no longer see her. Another thirty seconds 56 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:53.920 goes by, and I'm just looking around, trying to see 57 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.639 if I can find her. Just eyes locked on the 58 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:58.480 edge of my bed. 59 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:11.920 I hear breathing to my left. I go to look 60 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.000 on the corner. 61 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.120 Of my eye, just as far over as I can 62 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.720 look without moving my head, and I just see the 63 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.759 top left of her forehead, just barely in my view. 64 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.399 All that was going through my head was get up 65 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:32.959 and run. 66 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.319 Just run, run as fast as you can. As much 67 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.759 as I tried, I just could not move. The street 68 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.199 lamp outside flickered, but it came back on and she 69 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:57.720 was gone. A little bit goes by, and then I 70 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.839 see her come up from the edge of my bed, 71 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.439 just start crawling onto my bed. It's on all fours 72 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.600 straight out of a horror movie, the most bizarre thing 73 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.560 I've ever seen, and proceeds to sit on my chest, 74 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.319 not quite fetal position, but like kind of like when 75 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.920 you hug your knees when you're sitting down, and just 76 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.399 bald up right on my chest, and I could just 77 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:34.120 feel my heart start beating faster and faster. Just complete panic. 78 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.839 It was all I could feel because I just didn't 79 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:38.439 know what to do. 80 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.079 I couldn't move. This old lady is sitting on my 81 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.720 chest and I couldn't breathe. My heart was racing. 82 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:57.680 And then eventually, right as everything starts getting fuzzy, I. 83 00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:58.920 Feel my finger twitch. 84 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.240 I spring up out of bed, just screaming. My parents 85 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.279 come racing in. I'm standing in my bed at this point. 86 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:19.120 There's no old lady, there's no nothing, and they're just 87 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.439 standing there staring at me. 88 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:22.240 What's wrong? 89 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.480 What happened? Did you have a nightmare? And I couldn't 90 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.680 even speak. I couldn't even open my mouth. I didn't 91 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.160 even know what to say to them. I didn't speak 92 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.319 till the next morning because I just couldn't. That was 93 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:48.519 my first time going through it. It continued, it was 94 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.279 very irregular schedule. I guess you could call it. There 95 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.800 were times where it would be back to back nights. 96 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.759 There were other times where it would be a month 97 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:05.439 or two in between, but it was usually the same 98 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.839 kind of dream. But there were times where it would 99 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:15.079 be in a different location. The sleep ho houses demon 100 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.879 would take a different form, which was bizarre to me 101 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.560 because I've never heard that before from anybody else. 102 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.759 It would take the form of the old lady. 103 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:36.080 A completely shadowy figure of like a man, a six', 104 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.840 four probably two hundred and two fifty pound, man just completely, 105 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.840 black no no facial, features no.

Grandma, 337 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:16.920 actually she told me about a little boy who appears 338 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.480 in the living room. 339 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.240 Area he's just. 340 00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.880 A little boy wearing, shorts like a kind of a 341 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.119 school uniform kind of. Thing but there is a birthday 342 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.680 cake on his like he's holding it with both of his, 343 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:34.119 hands his. Arms AND i, mean at, first it seems, like, oh, 344 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:36.039 man like this is a tragic. Story what if a 345 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.759 little boy died on his birthday or something like. That 346 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:41.480 because they recently moved into that. HOUSE i, mean it's 347 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.279 not like the one where they lived in the whole, 348 00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.799 lives you, know but they showed up, there they fixed 349 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.440 the house and, everything and now they start seeing this 350 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.640 this little. Ghost at, first you hear a story like 351 00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.359 this and you feel a little bit sorry for, them, 352 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.880 right and, yeah sometimes we get a sense that they 353 00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.200 have this entity might actually be nothing. Bad this is 354 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.440 what My grandma gets from, that. Right but sometimes this 355 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.799 is what we have to be careful because they appear 356 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.519 to be something innocent as a, child but they're. 357 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:14.400 Not they're just in. 358 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.160 Disguise so this is WHAT i think when we see 359 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.119 shadow figures in the middle of the night and they 360 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:24.920 take shape of someone that we, know they're trying to manipulate, 361 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.039 us make us think that there's someone else to get. 362 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:31.480 Close So i'm interested in knowing what you think about. 363 00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.839 This he says something psychological or is it something?
