It started when I 28 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,479 was about seven years old. It was around midnight and 29 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,879 I was thirsty, so I went downstairs to get a 30 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:04,759 glass of water and I just I had just fixing 31 00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,520 to go down the stair when a hand shot out 32 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,319 of the darkness and grabbed me by the throat. Yikes. 33 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,360 I stood there with his hand clasped tightly around my 34 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:18,319 throat for what seemed like ages. Finally the hand light going. 35 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,439 I ran back to my bedroom, got under the covers 36 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,360 and pulled them over my head. The next day, I 37 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:26,280 told my parents about what happened, and they said that 38 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,639 it was just imagining things and shouldn't watch scary movies 39 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,599 before I go to bed. That same night, I told 40 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,039 my parents about what had happened. Of what happened, I 41 00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:38,599 was being punched and prodded by the thing that had 42 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:41,639 grabbed me. The next day, my mom saw the bruises 43 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,400 I got and asked my brother why why he had 44 00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,400 been hitting me. He said no, and that he'd never 45 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:49,280 been hitting me. He told her he had been seeing 46 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280 strange lights in front of my bedroom and would hear 47 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,879 my name being called out at night when he went 48 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,879 to use the bathroom. The next day, when my brother 49 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360 and I were playing outside in the wood, we saw 50 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,120 a row of five or six tombstones and we ran 51 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:07,439 to the house and showed our parents, and they believed 52 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,120 us after that, and we moved out of the house 53 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,560 three months later. To this day, I think the ghost 54 00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,839 has followed me because I still wake up a strange 55 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,959 bruises and hear my name being called out at night. Well, 56 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680 that's all kinds of creepy and wrong. I would suggest 57 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,959 a DreamCatcher or something. Now, I'm just kidding. I don't 58 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:33,199 know if dream catchers are necessarily functional against negative spirits, 59 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,879 but I don't know what's going on there. That's terrible. 60 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,199 If you're getting hit and hurt, then there's something really 61 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,360 wrong that's horrible. Do you want to know something weird? 62 00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:45,519 Speaker 1: Now? 63 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: That's the ghost sensor, so that actually sensed spirits in 64 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,879 the room, honest to God. And I'm not fabricating this 65 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,079 at all. I'll put this on everything I love. I 66 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,800 just saw a dark ball past my monitor, go up 67 00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:08,199 and then disappear beyond my monitor. True story, ladies and gentlemen. 68 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,720 I don't need to fabricate stuff. I know that sounds 69 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:15,480 absolutely incredulous and wild to some people, but I swear 70 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,720 to you it's true. I wouldn't waste the time saying 71 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,439 it if it wasn't true. I have plenty of things 72 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,439 to read to entertain you with. I don't need to 73 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,839 fabricate things. But as the same time that went off, 74 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,439 I had just seen this ball go up and disappear, 75 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,279 So apparently there may very well be something here. I 76 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:37,839 don't know. Again, I'm not really convinced that this thing 77 00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:40,759 does much of anything. I don't know what it does. 78 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,120 It's you know, from time to time, it's been really 79 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:46,600 interesting that it spits out weird stuff once in a while, 80 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120 and it seems sometimes to make sense to what's going on, 81 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,720 like even a timer, like you know, I was monologue 82 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,439 in a little bit, and you know, maybe it's maybe 83 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,920 it's trying to get me, hint to move on. But 84 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,199 you know that truly did go off. That's the sound 85 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,079 you heard. That's just a it's just a sound effect. 86 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,120 That's not a spirit sound at all. It's just a 87 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,720 sound effect of the application saying we detect a presence. Now, 88 00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:13,480 I suppose they felt they needed to make it a 89 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,839 really spooky, creepy sound, and that's you know, that is 90 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:19,959 what it is. But I did actually see a ball 91 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,279 just prior to that happening, true story, Hand to god, 92 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,319 what does it mean? I don't know. It's been weird 93 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,560 around the studio lately anyway. I still haven't saged like 94 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,079 fully saged, and I know I need to just to 95 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,759 knock the energy down a bit. But again, I think 96 00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:37,720 doing a paranormal show. And I know I've said this 97 00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:39,959 a bunch recently, so just bear with me. But I'm 98 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,959 just reiterating doing a paranormal show, you're constantly speaking about 99 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,399 a phenomena. You're constantly speaking about things that are beyond 100 00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:53,759 the normal, you know, hence the name paranormal. But I 101 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,360 do believe in a sense that creates a magnetization of sorts. 102 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,920 So in other words, in the the universe. The one 103 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,000 universal law is that energy follows intention. I mean, there's 104 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,519 many universal laws, but that's a foundational universal law that 105 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,040 energy follows intention. Hence, if you're thinking really crappy thoughts 106 00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,079 about somebody, that energy is going to them and maybe 107 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,240 creating a crappy experience for them or creating more animosity 108 00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:22,839 towards you. That's just a it's just the way it works. 109 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,360 So and that's one of the reasons they that people 110 00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:30,720 are encouraged to speak kindly about your about your enemies, 111 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:33,240 or prey for your enemies, or whatever you want to use. 112 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,879 And that way you're negating that negative reflection because all 113 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,319 of it is somewhat karmic. In other words, when you're 114 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,560 talking totally garbage about somebody, it may feel better to 115 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,759 let it out. But ultimately what's happening is it's it's 116 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,040 going to them in some form or another, and on 117 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,600 some level they're not liking you even more, you know, 118 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,920 and and they may be sending more crap your way 119 00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:02,639 by them thinking about you. So constantly this happens. So 120 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,240 in terms of talking about the paranormal, I'm constantly referring 121 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,279 to it, I'm constantly thinking about it. And sharing ideas 122 00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,040 and thoughts, things that occur to me as I'm doing 123 00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:17,399 the show that creates an energy. You know, that's maybe 124 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:20,000 somewhat of a beacon, for lack of a better term, 125 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,680 And perhaps they just follow it because they know that 126 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:28,360 there's a discussion going on about, you know, their condition. 127 00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:31,560 That's just a hypothesis, but I think there might be 128 00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,279 something to that. In fact, one of the old ancient 129 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:40,519 tenets of occult practice was magnetism, and magnetism was the idea, 130 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,799 and it's even brought up now in the what is 131 00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:46,919 that the Secret? The Secret is just basically rehashing of 132 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,240 a lot of old principles in spirituality dealing with magnetizing 133 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:54,240 yourself for things to come to you. It's just a 134 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,879 twenty first century or twentieth century revision of that same principle. 135 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,679 Nothing new has come up, but it's it's good stuff. 136 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:06,159 I mean, it's still relevant and has helped a bunch 137 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,919 of people. But essentially, when you when you create things, 138 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,279 it's even to the point of, I know, it's Monday tomorrow, 139 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:15,039 it's just going to be a crappy day. It's always 140 00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:17,799 a crappy day on Monday. Well, guess what I'll pretty 141 00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:19,919 much guarantee you Monday is going to be crappy if 142 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,840 that's If that's what you're sending out, so that energy 143 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:25,679 will follow intention you will manifest based on that. So 144 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,799 you know, I think that as we do the show, 145 00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:33,759 we do manifest an attraction for that stuff. Nothing creepy, 146 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:36,559 nothing horrible, nothing weird. Well maybe weird, but you know 147 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,399 what I'm saying. But I've just seen this happen way 148 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,159 too many times in the years that I've been doing 149 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,919 this show that just strangeness comes out of nowhere. Excuse me, sorry. 150 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:51,360 So the next story, Ladies and Gentlemen, is coming from Oregon. 151 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:55,639 What's going on in Oregon? Well, let's find out. For 152 00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:59,519 several years now, I've been plagued by nights of horrible 153 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,679 dream Well, here's where the dream catcher comes in. That 154 00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:05,919 just came up. I just flippantly made a remark about 155 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:08,559 a DreamCatcher, and now we got a horrible dream story. 156 00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:14,399 So many reoccurring with this with the same thing in common. Ghosts. 157 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,120 They always scare me so much, and I often wake 158 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,240 up crying and drenched in sweat. The houses that I'm 159 00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:25,120 in in my dreams are always different, But there are 160 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,799 many similarities in my dreams. First of all, I'm always 161 00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:32,679 with other people, usually my friends. It's at a house 162 00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:37,080 party situation. Secondly, the ghost always haunts only one room, 163 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,519 and everyone present knows about the room and the ghost 164 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,639 and the ghost, and they avoid it. Yet we talk 165 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,679 about it when we're together and the strange things that 166 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,600 happen because of the ghost. Thirdly, I always end up 167 00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:53,200 alone in the room where the ghost haunts at some point. 168 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,360 I've never seen the ghost, but I always feel the 169 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,919 oppression and evil that it emits. I should say that 170 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,279 she emits because the ghost is always a female. I 171 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,279 don't know if it's always the same ghost, but I'm 172 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,559 always get the same feelings of dread and fear when 173 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,080 I'm alone. Another similarity in my ghost dreams is when 174 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,879 I'm alone in the haunted room, I always try to 175 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,000 get out, but I can't. I'm trapped. I call for 176 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,799 my friends, but it's like they've left me alone in 177 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,279 this haunted place. My dreams have yet to progress to 178 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:32,679 any harm because to me, any harm caused to me 179 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,120 rather by the ghost, and I feel this is due 180 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,960 to the fact that I am so scared and uncomfortable 181 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,559 that I force myself awake, and sometimes when I fall 182 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:43,559 back to sleep, I go right back to where I've 183 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:48,399 left I'm left off. Oh that's horrible. I usually have 184 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,519 a dream like this at least once a month, and 185 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,320 I can't understand why who is this ghost woman? And 186 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360 why am I so afraid of her? Why don't I 187 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360 fight her in my dreams? Why don't I try to 188 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,440 figure out what's going on? And why does it frighten 189 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,360 me more than anything else I've ever experienced in real 190 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,200 life or in other nightmares. Now that's kind of peculiar, 191 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,360 because today I was just having a discussion while I 192 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,200 commented on a discussion on a page, a friend of 193 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:24,039 mine was talking about working a hypothesis about astro projection 194 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:28,200 during dreams that we always astraally project and it's and 195 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,120 my comment was, well, you know, there's been a lot 196 00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,639 of spiritual teachers that have made that claim that every 197 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,039 every time we dream, we're actually projecting. It's just that 198 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,840 sometimes where we're projecting too, just doesn't seem like, you know, 199 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,120 what we actually recognize in our waking mind. And so 200 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,200 this person could very well be projecting in this dream, 201 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,120 and that's maybe what's going on. Is they're projecting into 202 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:57,240 a place and the place may look different, but it's 203 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,720 the same place and they're having the same experience because perhaps, 204 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,919 you know, there are a lot of stories about astro 205 00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:07,679 projection and there being entities that do try to trap people. 206 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:10,120 I don't know if there's any truth to that or not. 207 00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,000 I just don't have much of an opinion. I guess 208 00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:16,360 myself about that. But I've heard those claims. Is it possible. 209 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,320 I suppose it is. I don't know. There's no way 210 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,799 to know everything, ladies and gentlemen, but you know, at 211 00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:26,840 least it's it is interesting this person has the same 212 00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,879 dreams about a ghost, a female ghost, and always ends 213 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,279 up alone. And maybe that's when all the you know, 214 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,440 the other manifestations of their mind are stripped away and 215 00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:39,480 finally they have to confront this one thing. Could it 216 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,840 be psychological, sure, absolutely, it makes a lot of sense. Psychologically, 217 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,759 is just you know, an exercise of an unconscious mind 218 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840 working through stuff. Maybe the woman represents some kind of 219 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:50,879 issue in their life that they're not dealing with. I 220 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,679 don't know. But could it be spiritual? Sure? Could it 221 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,639 be psychological? Sure? It's you know, it's just no fun 222 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,559 either way, and it requires the person to definitely make 223 00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:08,840 some changes. So interesting story though. All right, my computer's 224 00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:13,000 just being really sluggish. Sorry, all right, next one. Oh, now, 225 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:17,279 this one sounds really interesting and it's coming from the Louisiana. 226 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:24,840 Louisiana seeing UFO in nineteen seventy seven. Good to see that, Renee. 227 00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:31,080 You did? Okay, Renee was eleven, Very cool, says us neighbor. 228 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:34,360 Kids were playing outside summertime up in sky we saw 229 00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:42,519 UFO curfew at Eleven's cool. Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. 230 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,039 I've seen that stuff too, at least once, but possibly 231 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,200 several other times, only really really up close and personal once, 232 00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,519 but it was close enough. It was close enough that 233 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:57,039 I was like, okay, I've had enough of this. It's real. 234 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,320 I know it's real. I'm going to bed. But very cool, Rennie, 235 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,159 thanks for sharing that in the chat. I don't know 236 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,159 if that was necessarily for me to share in the air, 237 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,480 but if you say it in chat, it's kemping on 238 00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:13,080 the show. That's it, all right, So let's see what's 239 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,960 going on here. I'm just sorry, I get kind of 240 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,440 I get kind of transfixed on the chat, like what 241 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,919 am I missing? All Right? Let's go to Louisiana and 242 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,960 see what's going on here. Now, this one does sound cool. 243 00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:30,960 There's a mention of a gin, which I find really peculiar. 244 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,440 Of course, gin are from the Islamic religion, and they 245 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,159 are magical beings that apparently predate the creation of people. 246 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,320 In fact, they were perhaps God's first creation in the 247 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:52,919 Islamic religion. So but they are apparently well, they're sometimes negative, 248 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,759 there's sometimes positive, there's sometimes some times they're just neutral. 249 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,000 But they if they don't like people, they really really don't. 250 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,039 I don't like people. So they can be absolutely demonic, 251 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:09,000 or they can be absolutely angelic or absolutely indifferent. All right, 252 00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:13,200 so he says, blah blah blah. Okay, all of these 253 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,320 encounters happened in my younger days, but I'm almost always 254 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360 had a witness. When I was younger, I used to 255 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,080 spend my weekends at my cousin's house. During one of 256 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,120 my first visits there, he said to me, weird stuff 257 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,120 happens here around twelve am. I really didn't believe him, 258 00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:34,519 because but at twelve oh four I had my first 259 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,159 ghost and then in parentheses gin encounter. Okay, so they're 260 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,840 just translating a ghost experience as a gin, not necessarily 261 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,039 that it is a gin, it's just their interpretation. The 262 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,799 living room layout had a kitchen door behind and to 263 00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,600 the right of the couch. In the kitchen there was 264 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,639 a cabinet with a glass front that reflected the whole kitchen, 265 00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:59,519 and during that time we heard a cabinet door open 266 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,399 and shut, and then we heard a bunch open and 267 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,480 shut over and over. But we were looking at the 268 00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:10,680 reflection and saw absolutely nothing moving. We hopped over the 269 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:14,000 couch and ran into the kitchen to find nothing moving 270 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,279 and the noise had finally stopped. That's not the best 271 00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:20,759 story in the world, but it was my first and 272 00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:24,400 I actually had a witness. One other one was shorter, 273 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,559 and it involved a friend of mine at my grandmother's house. 274 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,279 Her house is old, so the foot the floors creak, 275 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,279 and the kitchen is beside the living room, almost the 276 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,440 same room, and one night we were laying on two 277 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,200 separate couches and talking to each other when we heard 278 00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:44,559 footstep creaks walking into the kitchen. We thought it was her, 279 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,920 so we said hey, Grandma, Hey, but we didn't get 280 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,640 any reply, and no light ever came on. We then 281 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,920 looked up and nobody was there. The last one, I'm 282 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,960 going to say is my best one, besides another one 283 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,200 that I had already posted. And one night we were 284 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:07,119 at my same grandmother's house. My cousin apparently is named 285 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,480 Chance from above, and my other cousin, Marcus are the 286 00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:16,079 people in the story. There's a vacant trailer that is 287 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,480 beside my grandmother's house, and at the time I lived 288 00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,960 in it. Sadly, we were young and wanted to check 289 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,400 it out at night, and Marcus went in first, and 290 00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:30,119 Chance went in second, and then I trailed. I was 291 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,720 the lookout in case anyone came on the way. Towards 292 00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:36,480 the back past the kitchen is my room and then 293 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,119 my sister's room. And Marcus went to the far back 294 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,880 towards my sister's room, and Chance walked my room and 295 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,359 found an old train toy. He opened my door and 296 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,400 threw it in the closet and threw it in and 297 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,759 closed the door. I was almost behind him at the time, 298 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,359 and we decided nothing was going on, so we were 299 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,160 going to leave, and on our way out, Chance passed 300 00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:07,319 my old door, and then that time the door opened 301 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,799 and the toy Fleu passed his head. We freaked out 302 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,480 and took the took off running and didn't go back 303 00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:18,319 in there at night. Ever, again, I still feel weird 304 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,559 going in there. Sometimes I believe it's more of a 305 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,599 gin messing with us than anything. Okay, so that's interesting. 306 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,359 And again sometimes gin are just interchangeable terms for ghosts 307 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,319 as well. I don't know. I guess it's just a 308 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,119 cultural understanding of it. But interesting nonetheless, all right from 309 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,400 South Carolina comes another one. A couple days ago, I 310 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,440 dreamt about a girl that I went to school with 311 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,839 that is now deceased. In my dream, there were a 312 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,920 ton of people in the building, and I felt like 313 00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:57,279 I knew them all, yet I didn't recognize them. Different 314 00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:59,720 people would come up and come up to me and 315 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,480 start talking. And then the girl that I knew came 316 00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:04,880 up and she asked me how I was doing and 317 00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:07,720 said she hadn't seen me in a while, and we 318 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,640 talked for a little bit. I asked her where she's 319 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,519 been and what she's been up to, and she said 320 00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:17,119 she has been working on her family. Then a boy 321 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,039 came up to me and started talking to me and 322 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,440 gave me a hug. He looked so much like my 323 00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,400 husband's deceased cousin that I had never met, and the 324 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,079 whole time I was with him, he was so nice 325 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,000 to me and it felt like I knew him as well, 326 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,559 but I didn't know who he was. Near the end 327 00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:38,400 of the dream, he gave me another hug and told 328 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,759 me that he would see me again really soon. I 329 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:44,359 don't know why I had that dream. I have a 330 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,880 lot of weird dreams that usually mean something, and most 331 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,039 of the time they don't make a whole lot of 332 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,119 sense until a lot of time until later. Sorry, and 333 00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:58,039 I would sometimes they're written really poorly, so I got 334 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,039 to piece them together. I would like to know, is 335 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,720 if anyone else has had the same kind of thing 336 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:08,319 happen to them. Do any of you ever have dreams 337 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,279 about someone deceased or even just a dream that means something. 338 00:21:13,279 --> 00:21:15,559 I know that my mom's friend and my dad experienced 339 00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:18,359 this kind of thing all the time, so at least 340 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,119 I know that I am not dealing with this completely alone. 341 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,160 I'd have to say, yes, I've had a few, quite 342 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,799 a few of those, and I you know, they're really cool. 343 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,119 I've never had a bad one of those. I've always 344 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:38,680 been really good, so very cool. All right. So that 345 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,559 was South Carolina, continuing our tour across the face of 346 00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:46,799 the nation. Here we're going to North Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen, 347 00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:50,960 a little bit north into the North of Carolina. This 348 00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:56,319 one's not too long. The experience happened to me when 349 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,759 I was in oh in the early nineties. I thought 350 00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:01,839 it was talking about an age. I was like, wow, 351 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,319 I'd been dating a girl that had a one time 352 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,000 been once time had been involved in witchcraft. And at 353 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,920 the time, I was living alone in an apartment, and 354 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,200 the apartment had hardwood floors throughout, so you could definitely 355 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,839 hear if someone was walking in another room. I always 356 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440 had a neary feeling like I was being watched, but 357 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,920 would just dismiss it as much as possible. One night, 358 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,279 I went to bed as usual, having set my alarm 359 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,440 clock for six in the morning in order to get 360 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,240 out for work, and the alarm clock was facing the 361 00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,799 bed so I could see it at all times. A 362 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,359 noise brought me out of a deep sleep and into 363 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,359 a semi conscious state enough for me to see the 364 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,519 clock and know that what the time was, and it 365 00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:52,599 was exactly one oh one am, and I remember thinking, great, 366 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:55,720 I got five more hours of sleep. I liked those, 367 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,759 and I always sleep on my side in the fetal position, 368 00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:02,319 and on the occasion, my left hand was hanging off 369 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,039 the bed. At that instance, I hear footsteps coming through 370 00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:10,400 the house, sounding like my girlfriend's boots she always wore, 371 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,920 getting closer and closer. Then whatever it was started speaking 372 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,200 to me in her voice, trying to convince me that 373 00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:21,960 it was her, and I remember trying to move, but 374 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,400 I was completely paralyzed and couldn't. I spoke back, saying, no, 375 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,640 you're not. I kept on until it finally reached my bed, 376 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,839 speaking sweetly in her voice. My bedroom door was closed, 377 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,319 so it had come right through it, and I could 378 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,720 still see the clock keep in mind, but I could 379 00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:44,160 not see my uninvited guest, and there was a brief 380 00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:48,480 moment of silence. Then I started feeling the bed move 381 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:52,200 behind me, and I said, one more time, you're not Kelly. 382 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,319 At that instant, I felt a hot breath on my ear, 383 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,920 and the voice changed from her voice into a man, 384 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,000 said how did you know? That's when I finally snapped 385 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000 out of it and jumped out of bed, nearly peeing myself, 386 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:09,960 and ran over to the light switch and turned it 387 00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:14,119 on along with every other one in the house. There 388 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,519 wasn't anything there, and it had come and gone in 389 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,519 a minute. But what had seemed an eternity. Like I said, 390 00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:24,599 the whole time, I was desperately trying to move, but 391 00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:28,319 was frozen in terror. Some people would simply say that 392 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,119 it was just a dream, but I'm here to tell 393 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,279 you that this was definitely not a dream, needless to say. 394 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:41,319 Shortly thereafter, I stopped seeing her. Look it was her fault. 395 00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:44,640 A few years later I had another experience that I 396 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:53,519 will share at another time. Wow, that's too bad. I 397 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,640 wonder I wonder why he broke up with her. You know, 398 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,480 I like dating you a bit like when you send 399 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:08,319 demons after me. H creepy. Okay, the next one, ladies 400 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:12,480 and gentlemen, This one's coming out of California, California dreaming. 401 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,759 It was about two thousand and three and I was 402 00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,759 sitting in my room. I was doing homework and talking 403 00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:22,480 on the phone with my best friend, and I heard 404 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:24,680 someone walk and knocking on my door rather and I 405 00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:28,839 looked out, but nobody was there. I left my door 406 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,039 open and stared at it, and a few minutes later 407 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,400 I saw a transparent sneaker. It was really weird and 408 00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:39,759 only had one leg attached to it, And ever since 409 00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:43,200 then we have taken pictures and orange streaks of light 410 00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:46,440 in my parents' room. And sometimes I hear scratching on 411 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,799 my window at night, and when I'm by myself, I 412 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,599 see stuff run across the living room. It happened a 413 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,559 number of times and still freaks me out. And every 414 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,880 time I watch a scary movie, I see the sneaker 415 00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:04,839 and severed leg, and I see streaks of light fleet 416 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,960 across my room, kitchen and living room. My house gets 417 00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:12,440 cold in the eerie at nighttime. And one time I 418 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:16,319 was outside and I saw a transparent tiger jump out 419 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,599 of my tree. I don't know. This one's kind of hokey. 420 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,440 And sometimes when my dad takes a shower, like today, 421 00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:27,559 the water gets cold hot cold, hot, cold, hot cold 422 00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:31,319 and keeps doing that and it freaks me out. And 423 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960 sometimes I see over my shoulder when I look in 424 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,759 the mirror. I see something over my shoulder when I 425 00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:39,519 look in the mirror, and it scares me. My house 426 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:43,240 is haunted. My brother always is looking at the spot 427 00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:46,480 where I see the ghost, and he cries and clenches 428 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,440 onto me. And my dad and I see it all 429 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:53,400 the time. Now, I don't know, maybe I see I 430 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:57,079 was good until he started talking about the tiger. It's like, 431 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,759 all right, we just went right to Disney on this one. 432 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,880 I don't know. I guess. I guess they could look 433 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,119 like tigers if they wanted to. But I don't know. 434 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,240 That's that's a little weird, a little weird for me 435 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,839 just saying, ladies and gentlemen. I do actually have a 436 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,519 bit of a craig herea for my ghost stories, and 437 00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:20,400 generally they don't look like look like tigers very much. 438 00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:03,599 Take a trip down to Texas, shall we? All right? 439 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,359 I really have some strange friends, but being Texans, we 440 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,920 tell good stories. And my friend Laurie considers herself to 441 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,960 be a sensitive and I admit she's had some experiences 442 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,960 and has experienced some of the weirdest things during her life. 443 00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:23,000 And I've been fortunate enough to have heard have heard 444 00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:28,079 her tales. Man, I don't know. Yeah, my tongue was 445 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,160 gumming up on that. One. One of Laurie's friends was 446 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,160 getting married at a rather famous old mansion here in 447 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:41,000 fort Worth called thistle Hill House. This magnificent eleven thousand 448 00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:44,279 foot square house is beautiful and was built for a 449 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:48,799 woman named Elektra Wagoner. I think I know of this 450 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,799 house and it was built by her father, A by 451 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,240 Wharton in nineteen oh three for a sum total get this, 452 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,960 forty six thousand dollars. At that time that was a fortune, 453 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,519 I guess. But wow, you can you can hardly buy 454 00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:06,039 a moped. But for forty six thousand dollars now man 455 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,759 a fortune at the time, Well, there you go. But 456 00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:15,359 he was a cattle baron and an excess was the game. 457 00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:18,920 The story that is that ab built the house for 458 00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,960 Electra so she would wait on getting married to take 459 00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:26,200 care of her mother's motherless younger siblings until they were 460 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480 old enough to leave the house on their own. Electra 461 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,119 took up old Dad on his offer and raised her 462 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,039 siblings in exchange of this house built to her specifications. 463 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,039 Don't worry, Electra did eventually get married and didn't die alone. Regardless, 464 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,240 this house is gorgeous in the perfect setting for a 465 00:29:45,359 --> 00:29:48,839 grand wedding if you can afford it. Seriously, go to 466 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,960 Google and type Thistle Hill, Fort Worth, Texas and it 467 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,880 should pull up the house's website and you can see 468 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,559 the insanely beautiful rooms. It's very classy. Or was at 469 00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,319 this house for a wedding, and they allow the brides 470 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,440 to use the upstairs bridle room to change and get 471 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,039 ready for their big moments. Laurie had helped her friend 472 00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:14,000 get ready for the wedding and the bridal party moved 473 00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:18,279 downstairs to prepare for the ceremony. The bride forgot her 474 00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:20,400 veil in the upstairs dressing room and asked Lurie to 475 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,640 go back upstairs to retrieve it prior to the ceremony starting. 476 00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:29,480 I believe that Laurie was the bride'smaid, and I'm very 477 00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:33,680 sure because this was in the nineteen eighties and that 478 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,960 she was looking hot in a bright orange taffeta. I 479 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,599 don't know what taffeta means t A F F E ta. 480 00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:46,920 She hosts a nightmare Bridesmaid's ball every year and tells 481 00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:51,279 everyone invited to where their most horrid bridesmaid's outfits just 482 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,039 for funzies. Laurie went back upstairs and passed the parlor 483 00:30:56,119 --> 00:30:58,799 room to the right of the bridle dressing room, and 484 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,519 a woman in nineteen hundreds period dress stepped out of 485 00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,160 the parlor and dipped her head. Hello at Lourie and 486 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:10,720 continued down the hallway towards the staircase. Laurie just assumed 487 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,440 that the woman was a character actor hired by the 488 00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:19,240 household to show authenticity. After Laurie's friend's beautiful wedding took 489 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:23,279 place and the reception was underway, Laurie saw the proprietor 490 00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:25,240 of the building and she walked over and said that 491 00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:30,039 she enjoyed the character actor dressed in period clothing, and 492 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,920 the proprietor looked really puzzled and said, they don't have 493 00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:36,200 anyone like that working in the building, especially not during 494 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,799 a wedding. Laurie then told the proprietor what she had 495 00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:42,720 seen when she went back up the stairs, and the 496 00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:46,359 proprietor smiled and said, well, it might have been Electra. 497 00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:50,559 Apparently Electra likes to greet guests at the house and 498 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,599 to attend weddings. Laurie thought that this was great fun 499 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,960 and continued to have a wonderful time at the wedding. 500 00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:00,640 Well there he goes, I mean, this is nice. I 501 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,880 don't know. I wonder why Electra is hanging out at 502 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,160 the house instead of getting on with it, But maybe 503 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,759 she just loves the house. That much okay, So the 504 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,119 next story, Ladies and Gentlemen, is coming from Georgia. This 505 00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:18,559 takes place in August twenty eighth, nineteen ninety eight, and 506 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,119 I had been back in Atlanta for a month and 507 00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:24,640 had transferred from Maryland with my job and was thrilled 508 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,079 to be home with my family and friends. The previous 509 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,839 year had been a tough one. I lost a job, 510 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,000 and Rob and I had finally called it quits, and 511 00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:35,000 I was still trying to sell a house in Maryland. 512 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,319 So Mom was nice enough to let me stay with 513 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,279 her for the time being. And it was the back 514 00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:43,680 to school season at work, and I had been working 515 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,039 long and very late hours. My district manager had asked 516 00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:52,039 if I would work the Alfaretta store, which is a 517 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,480 large volume store, and she felt I was experienced enough 518 00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:57,880 to be able to handle the crowds. And from the 519 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,559 moment I started at this store, I felt like everything 520 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,640 was out of control. We didn't have enough employees, and 521 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,799 we didn't have enough have time during the day to 522 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,039 search for people, and we were desperately trying to keep 523 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,839 enough merchandise on the floor to satisfy the throngs of 524 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,200 students heading back to school. The general manager had also 525 00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:21,680 transferred from Maryland, and she understood my anxiety and frustration 526 00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:25,799 with this new store. The night of the incident, I 527 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,440 had the closing shift and she came to me and 528 00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:30,680 asked if I had a plan to recover the store. 529 00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:33,640 I told her that we would stay until we were 530 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,039 back in shape and ready for work tomorrow. And we 531 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,839 left at around twelve am and the store was in 532 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,440 fair condition. I walked out with Jamal and I thanked 533 00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,880 him for all of his help, and then I got 534 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,079 in my car and drove home. The drive home was 535 00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:52,079 really uneventful, but I had a feeling that I was 536 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,920 being followed, and when I turned on Sheridan, the feeling 537 00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:58,880 was really strong. But I was almost home, so I 538 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:05,519 ignored the I ignored my better judgment. Sorry, another cough, 539 00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:08,639 and I pulled into the driveway. Those feelings went away, 540 00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:11,039 and all I could think was I need to sleep. 541 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:14,079 I opened the door of the car and got out 542 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:18,320 and was immediately confronted by a man dressed in all black, 543 00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:23,159 pointing a gun at my face. I screamed, but then 544 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,480 I decided I didn't want Mom to wake up and 545 00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:28,280 come out. I didn't want her to get hurt and 546 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,480 she might make things worse. So I became quiet, and 547 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,599 he told me to come with him. At first I 548 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:38,480 thought he wanted me, but then he told me that 549 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,920 we were going back to the store and that I 550 00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:44,199 was going to open the safe for him. I was 551 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,519 calm knowing that all he really wanted was money, and 552 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:49,480 I was also calm by the fact that there was 553 00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:54,239 another presence or entity with me helping me through this. 554 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,840 My Dad had passed away in nineteen ninety three, but 555 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,840 I knew that he was still there watching over Mom, 556 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,000 and he was angry that this was happening at his house, 557 00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,559 and I could feel his anger, and at one point 558 00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,119 he took a swing at the guy with the gun, 559 00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:13,239 and then he stayed with me through the whole evening this. 560 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,719 The first man put me in the back seat of 561 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719 an old Camaro or a firebird, and then he grabbed 562 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,559 my car keys and took off. I was worried that 563 00:35:21,639 --> 00:35:23,639 he would go into the house and hurt Mom, and 564 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,920 I was also upset because I had an old church 565 00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:29,639 key that belonged to Dad on that key ring, and 566 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,320 Dad sat next to me and held my hand at this, 567 00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:36,480 and the second man told me we were going back 568 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:40,079 to the store and nothing would happen to me if 569 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,880 I was all really cooperative. I was worried about mom, 570 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,000 so I started talking to the driver and asked why 571 00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:48,559 he took my keys, and he told me that they 572 00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:51,400 needed to dump the car we were in and they 573 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,119 were going to take my car. And I asked if 574 00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:56,440 they had plans to go into the house, and I 575 00:35:56,559 --> 00:35:59,280 was assured that all they wanted was the car, and 576 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,320 I could feel he had assure me that everything would 577 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,159 be okay. We got to the store and the man 578 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,599 opened the door and grabbed my arm and told me 579 00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:09,639 to come with him. He had a gun pointed at 580 00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:12,400 my ribs, and he told me not to look at him. 581 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,880 I had lost a contact lens in the back seat 582 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,440 of the car, so I couldn't see much anyway. Dad 583 00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:22,920 followed me and kept telling me to stay home and 584 00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:26,360 this would be over soon. The man told me to 585 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,480 unlock the store and then he directed me to the 586 00:36:29,559 --> 00:36:32,920 alarm panel. He wanted me not to do anything stupid 587 00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:35,559 because he would use the gun if he needed to. 588 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,079 I turned the alarm off, and then he directed me 589 00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:42,039 to the cash office and he told me to open 590 00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:45,719 the safe, and he also wanted all the laptops in 591 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,440 our lockup area. He told me to unlock that room too, 592 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,000 and I did what he asked, and he handed me 593 00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:55,719 a canvas bag and told me to open the safe 594 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,760 and put in all the money in the bag. I 595 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,639 opened the top of the safe and put all the 596 00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:02,679 bills and some rolled up coins in the bag. And 597 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,559 what the robber didn't know was that most of the 598 00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:08,320 cash was in the bottom of the safe and I 599 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,719 had no intention of opening it unless he demanded it. 600 00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:15,199 He then took the bag and tied my hands and 601 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,719 feet together and told me to lay down on the 602 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,320 floor and that he would be back the minute he left. 603 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,239 I jumped up and hobbled to the door and slammed 604 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,519 the door close. He couldn't get in the cash office 605 00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:31,519 without the key. I then was able to wiggle out 606 00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:33,800 of the tape in my hands and set off the alarm. 607 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,800 Dad stayed with me the whole time. I called the police, 608 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,039 and I called my GM and DM to let them 609 00:37:41,159 --> 00:37:43,440 know I was okay. And when I got home at 610 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,960 about four am that morning, I told Mom about Dad 611 00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:50,360 being with me throughout the whole ordeal, and she wasn't 612 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,000 surprised nor did she think it was crazy or delusional? 613 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,360 She knows he watches her, and she feels his presence too. 614 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,519 She feels that he wants to make up in death 615 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,239 for what he was not able to give us in life. 616 00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:07,920 For me, he has given me more in that one 617 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:12,000 night than I ever could ask. Thanks, Dad, I love you. 618 00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:16,239 That's a cool story, you know, I mean, what a 619 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,239 wonderful thing. You know that these people who love us 620 00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:23,880 and pass over may still be right there, just out 621 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,599 of sight, you know, shielding us. What a beautiful thought. 622 00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:30,440 I think there's a lot of that going on. Ladies 623 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,679 and gentlemen, all right, this one's pretty short, So New 624 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,719 York is our destination on this story. Ladies and gentlemen, 625 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,159 all right. It's Christmas in nineteen ninety one in Buffalo, 626 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,199 New York. Family from all over different states are celebrating 627 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,400 the holiday at my parents' house, which I will mention 628 00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:54,599 as the same house my mother grew up in. I 629 00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:57,320 go upstairs and get my pajamas on, and something catches 630 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,280 the corner of my eye. I look in front of 631 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,719 the bathroom door and see a man. He only appears 632 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,400 from the chest up. He isn't solid, but isn't transparent either. 633 00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:13,480 He's wearing a leather aviator jacket, glasses, and a wool 634 00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:18,719 cap with the ear flaps pulled down. He's old, being 635 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,280 only eleven years old. I bolt down the stairs and 636 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,480 don't mention a thing, nor do I explain why I'm 637 00:39:24,519 --> 00:39:27,199 going to sleep at eight pm. When my four year 638 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,920 old cousin was told to go to bed, she shared 639 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,840 my room during her visit. Flash forward to some time 640 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,119 over Christmas break that same year, and I'm looking at 641 00:39:37,199 --> 00:39:39,960 old family photos with my brother and I come across 642 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,480 the photo of that same man I saw a week 643 00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:46,880 earlier in my room. I ask Mom who he is 644 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,639 and she tells me he is my great grandfather. I 645 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,320 ask where he lives and she tells me that he 646 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,719 passed away a few days after I was born. I 647 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,719 don't know why he popped in, and now I feel 648 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,960 a bit bad for running away. Hey, I was eleven 649 00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:08,159 years old, but it makes sense now all the family 650 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,000 is together in the old house. He had been there 651 00:40:11,079 --> 00:40:13,639 and he was alive, and I suppose he was just 652 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,960 checking in on me. He was the first ghost I 653 00:40:17,079 --> 00:40:20,199 ever saw, but not the last. So you see a 654 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,920 ghost and you're all freaked out and then you come 655 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,559 across the photo of that very same person and you 656 00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:27,280 find out it's family, and then it's like, oh, that's 657 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,679 kind of cool. Now, before it was really creepy, but 658 00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:34,800 oh that was grapa. Okay, I'm good with that. I 659 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,320 think that's nice. All right, Michigan, what's going on there? 660 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,000 Last month, my family and I went to Michigan to 661 00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:46,360 see the Paulding Light. It's real. When my mom parked 662 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:51,239 our car to see to see, to see, to the 663 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,280 view of the light, that big, bright light seemed to 664 00:40:55,559 --> 00:41:01,159 zip right down on the power lines. It was so cool. Okay, 665 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,800 that was a really poorly written sentence, but I got 666 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,280 through it. I took a camera photo of it and 667 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,440 recorded it on our video camera. And when the light 668 00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:13,559 starts to race on the power lines toward us, literally 669 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,880 it chased us. Man, it scared the heck out of us. Now, 670 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,159 when it comes to when it comes to scare a 671 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,800 seventeen year old, seventeen year old, that's pretty hard. But 672 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:32,199 this spooked the devil out of me. In that same location, yep, 673 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,960 in that same location again. I didn't see anything this 674 00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,760 time though, but that's where the ghost radar was saying 675 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:45,639 right over there huh, no words, though, you gotta say 676 00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:48,639 something so we know what's going on. Who are you? 677 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,119 Why are you here? All right? 678 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 1: So? 679 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,679 Speaker 2: Where was I chased? The scary light chased them? Now, 680 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,280 when it comes to scare a seventeen year old, that's 681 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,519 pretty hard. But this spooked the devil out of me. 682 00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:01,880 And when I first saw it, I thought it was 683 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,920 an orb, But people say it's the ghost of a 684 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,000 little boy searching the tracks high and low for his sisters, 685 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,800 for his sister's head that was beheaded from the train 686 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:18,239 running over her, killing both of them. That's creepy. As 687 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,840 the light started to chase us, you could hear its 688 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,840 vibration and feel them. We ran to the car and 689 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,480 drove home, not looking back. But what is it? What 690 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:33,960 is it that makes the light truly stay there? Sometimes 691 00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:37,000 when I see things like ghosts or orbs, they stay 692 00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:41,400 here with unfinished business. I wish somehow that we could 693 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,559 make thing, that we could make that thing go away. 694 00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:48,599 But why did it chase us? Why is it a 695 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,159 light and not a ghost of the boy instead? I 696 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,039 need help? Why? Why? Seriously? 697 00:42:55,079 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: Though? 698 00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 2: It really did spook me, and it reminded me what 699 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,960 it reminded me of Casper the friendly Ghost, except it 700 00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:06,760 wasn't friendly. Well I'm not sure what's going on here, 701 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,320 but I guess they they went to see some naturally 702 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,400 occurring light phenomenon and they actually saw it, and since 703 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,360 it came their direction there, their understanding of that was 704 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,559 that it was actually chasing them. But it just could 705 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,519 could be a residual thing that just follows that same 706 00:43:23,639 --> 00:43:26,079 path and it has nothing to do with you. You 707 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,440 just happen to be there. I don't know, it's it's 708 00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:34,320 it's anybody's guests. All right, Where are we going? 709 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 4: Now? 710 00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:40,559 Speaker 2: We're going to California. This one's pretty short. I had 711 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,880 went to Summerdale or Sunnyville rather, California to visit their 712 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,400 Toys r Us store. I'm a ghost hunter and I 713 00:43:48,519 --> 00:43:53,239 went there with three of my cousins, Jess, Kayla, and Sierra. 714 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,239 We went inside the store to buy some stuff to 715 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,760 show the family and when we would go back to Utah. 716 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,800 And as I went through the doll aisle, a doll 717 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,239 came out of its package and landed on the floor 718 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,159 right beside me by itself, no joke. I was shaken 719 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,159 all over. I ran to see my cousins and told 720 00:44:13,199 --> 00:44:16,360 them exactly what happened, and they just thought I was 721 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,599 goofing around, But they soon realized for themselves that it wasn't. 722 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,400 The store manager saw us group of girls and all 723 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:30,119 freaked out and clumped together, and the manager, the manager 724 00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:33,880 said Johnson, these three girls, these girls were only here 725 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,519 to buy. Sorry about him. Johnson haunts this store ever 726 00:44:37,599 --> 00:44:40,480 since they built a store over the land where his 727 00:44:40,639 --> 00:44:44,360 homeland was. Some say he died by an axe in 728 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:50,039 his thigh, but who knows a ghost? Does he stay here? Yep? 729 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,840 Just a warning. Don't go through the playdo aisle. Enter 730 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,039 at your own risk. But you know, Johnson isn't the 731 00:44:58,119 --> 00:44:59,960 only ghost here. There's a group of them with him, 732 00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:03,920 And don't go upstairs where the camera room is. We 733 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,760 stood in front of the plate oh aisle, and I 734 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,719 took a picture with my camera. It was amazing, an 735 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,320 example of I'm not going to click an example. But Johnson, 736 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,760 the ghost wasn't leaning against the wall. Why do go 737 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,599 stay here with us? Well? To find that out, you'll 738 00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:25,480 have to watch some of my old episodes because I'm 739 00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:29,639 not going through that laundry list again. Not so soon anyway. 740 00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:33,119 All right, there's one more story then, I'll get through 741 00:45:33,159 --> 00:45:35,159 one more story tonight, ladies and gentlemen, then we'll call 742 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,880 it a night. Because the portal is waning. It's about 743 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,039 to close. We can't be trapped in it, all right. 744 00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:45,119 So Texas is where we're off to now. And that 745 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,519 says I really believe in the paranormal. However, I've never 746 00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:54,239 had a negative experience until just last night. I can't 747 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,320 recall ever feeling so scared and absolutely helpless. I'd been 748 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,320 up and down all night, and we just got a 749 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,719 new puppy that I had I have to get up 750 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,320 with approximately every two hours. After waking up. One time 751 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,440 I went back to sleep. The whole experience began as 752 00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:14,440 if a dream. In the beginning of the dream, I 753 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,280 had gone outside to take the dog out. It was 754 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,079 totally different house surroundings, et cetera. And as I looked 755 00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:23,280 to the left, I saw that I had apparently scared 756 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,880 someone off, as there was a lit cigarette sitting on 757 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,519 the corner of the house to my left, held by 758 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,360 I don't know what. It wasn't on the ground. It 759 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,840 appeared as if it was being held by a bracket 760 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,000 sort of thing. I started getting scared. At that time, 761 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,360 I went back inside. This is still the dream, and 762 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,639 I'm not sure what happened. Then this is where it 763 00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:52,079 gets really scary. I was in bed. My husband was 764 00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:55,360 beside me, sound asleep, he's a real hard sleeper, and 765 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,719 I was laying face down. Yet I could hear noises, 766 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,320 not loud, maybe like a shuffling going on around me, 767 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,320 and I remember feeling at first as if there was 768 00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:10,639 one person, but shortly after I realized there were two. 769 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,280 I remember feeling like I had been drugged, and I 770 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,199 couldn't wake up, move or scream. It was so vivid. 771 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,559 I remember fighting to wake up, and I remember trying 772 00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:24,800 to make some sound and eventually trying with all my 773 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:30,320 strength to scream, and I couldn't make any sound. There 774 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,639 were times that I was able to wake up, and 775 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,079 in one of these, I put my arm around my 776 00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:38,639 husband's waist and I was still on my stomach. The 777 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,760 consciousness didn't last long at all. When it did come 778 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,079 after this, I was trying so hard to move my 779 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,719 arm or fingers to wake my husband up, but nothing 780 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,920 would move. And again I couldn't wake up or scream, 781 00:47:51,039 --> 00:47:54,599 and I would occasionally hear things around me, and I 782 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,000 remember thinking that my husband and I had both been drugged, 783 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,280 like the scene in that movie What Lies Beneath, where 784 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,760 Harrison Ford has drugged Michelle Pfeiffer and puts her in 785 00:48:05,559 --> 00:48:09,079 the bathtub and turns the water on. The only difference 786 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,320 was that she had her eyes open, and despite all 787 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,559 my effort, I couldn't open my eyes. I can remember 788 00:48:16,639 --> 00:48:20,639 thinking that they had really drugged They had really drugged 789 00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:22,880 my husband so he wouldn't realize what was going on, 790 00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:26,199 and were leaving him alone. And I remember thinking to 791 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,840 myself that whenever I had encountered spirits in the past, 792 00:48:30,679 --> 00:48:34,119 none had been aggressive. There were a few times I 793 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,079 was able to fight off the fatigue, and I was 794 00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:39,079 eventually able to wake my husband up enough to tell 795 00:48:39,159 --> 00:48:41,920 him to save me and that two ghosts were trying 796 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,480 to get me. Him being a non believer, that he 797 00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:48,000 has told me that I needed to tell them to 798 00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:51,800 go away. He didn't seem to realize that I was petrified. 799 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,960 I'd been fighting this for what seemed like forever, and 800 00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:57,480 each time I was scared to go back into the 801 00:48:57,559 --> 00:49:02,480 catactonic state, but couldn't fight it off. The one time 802 00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:05,440 that I was successful in getting my husband's attention, he 803 00:49:05,599 --> 00:49:08,119 got up and went to the bathroom, came back, and 804 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,400 we laid facing each other with our arms around each other, 805 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,480 and I remember feeling the energy behind my back and 806 00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:17,800 repeatedly flinching like they were trying to take me away 807 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,159 from my husband. I guess they eventually left because I 808 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,440 was able to go to sleep feeling like it was safe. 809 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,519 That's interesting. So that's kind of a sleep paralysis thing. 810 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,800 And I know there's those people that think it's just 811 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,679 a clinical thing having to do with being the body 812 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,880 being stuck in that state of deep sleep, but the 813 00:49:41,039 --> 00:49:44,960 mind not because apparently when we sleep, there's a certain 814 00:49:45,079 --> 00:49:48,559 chemical released that paralyzes the body so that when you're 815 00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:51,199 dreaming of like running, you don't actually get out of 816 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,599 bed and run because you know it could kill you. 817 00:49:55,079 --> 00:49:58,280 So there's some people that believe that that is the 818 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,760 entirety of the whole sleep paralysis, this type of phenomena. However, 819 00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:07,360 there are others, and myself included, not saying that that 820 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,440 other canton doesn't happen. I'm sure it does, but I 821 00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:14,119 can't believe that every incident of this is just covered 822 00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:17,960 by that. I've had experiences with sleep paralysis that took 823 00:50:18,039 --> 00:50:21,800 place over God. It was a long, long period of time, 824 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,519 perhaps over the course of a year or two, where 825 00:50:24,639 --> 00:50:27,920 I was constantly having to deal with this very thing, 826 00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:29,960 and I had to learn how to fight out of it. 827 00:50:30,639 --> 00:50:34,239 And it's horrible, it's just a horrible, helpless feeling. But 828 00:50:34,519 --> 00:50:37,880 I did learn how to at least so far, it 829 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,960 hasn't come back, so I assume I got on top 830 00:50:41,039 --> 00:50:45,280 of that one. But I had heard from another story 831 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,599 that we read not long ago, maybe a month or 832 00:50:48,639 --> 00:50:51,719 two ago, maybe two months, three months, I can't remember 833 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,079 exactly when, but we were talking about this very thing, 834 00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:56,800 and what was going on was this It was actually 835 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,519 the Old Hag. The person saw the old Hag, but 836 00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:02,119 apparently their family had told them, if you ever see 837 00:51:02,159 --> 00:51:06,360 the old Hag, grab onto another person, because they can't 838 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,679 make you, know, lock you into that state any longer, 839 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,079 because there's two energies involved, and so that contact with 840 00:51:13,159 --> 00:51:18,159 another person confuses the energy, and the hag Raith whatever 841 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,039 that is, can't prey upon the person that's holding another person. 842 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,079 And this person saw the old Hag and reached over 843 00:51:25,199 --> 00:51:29,400 and jumped into the brother's bed and held on and 844 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,679 didn't have the proalysis, and then it left and never 845 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,159 came back. I had never heard that before, but I 846 00:51:37,199 --> 00:51:39,760 thought that was really interesting. But now in this story, 847 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,039 this person is saying they definitely held on to another 848 00:51:42,079 --> 00:51:44,840 person and it didn't seem to matter. So I don't know. 849 00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:46,440 I don't know what to make of that, I guess, 850 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,880 but very curious, very curious for sure. So, ladies and gentlemen, 851 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,159 that's going to wrap it up for tonight. I love 852 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,239 you all.
