1
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>And I got closer to the bed, and all of

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, these glowing red eyes appeared in this black

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>mass under the bed.

4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Two encounters, two families, and one chilling question. What happens

5
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 2>when something unseen chooses you or your child? We're gonna

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 2>hear from generational shadow figures to a midnight terror that

7
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>only a child could see. My name is Edwin and

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 2>here are Kalin's and Pablo's true scary stories.

9
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>These events happened between about two thousand and eight to

10
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen and pretty much three different locations throughout the

11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>East coast of the US. They started happening in Orange County,

12
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 1>New York around two thousand and eight, but the real

13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>beginning of all of this happened back in Richmond, Virginia

14
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in the nineteen eighties to my mother. My mother and

15
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>her best friend used to always hang out at her

16
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>friend Kay's house. While there, they encountered this like shadow

17
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>entity that would hide in the basement originally, but then

18
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 1>it started coming out of the basement and kind of

19
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>following them. It would hide Kay's mother's jewelry in her

20
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 1>room to get her in trouble. It started just taking

21
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the jewelry all together they would never see it again.

22
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>It started following my mom and her when they were

23
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>hanging out there. The first big instance they had was

24
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>around Christmas. They building a fort with chairs and blankets,

25
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden they see it coming out

26
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>from behind the Christmas tree watching them. It had these

27
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 1>glowing red eyes and it's just staring at them. So

28
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>they hid in the fort and all of a sudden,

29
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the blankets just started getting pulled off the fort. They

30
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>ran out of there. The next thing they had happened

31
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to them, which was the big final thing. My mom

32
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't really have any instances after this. Kay was having

33
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a sleepover party at her house. All these girls are

34
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>hanging out and they started playing light as a feather

35
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>stiff as a board. As they're playing, nothing's really happening

36
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>until it's Kay's turn. When it's her turn, they all

37
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>do the thing, have their fingers under her, and all

38
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, she starts coming off of their fingers.

39
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>She goes all the way up to the ceiling and

40
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>then everybody starts screaming. As soon as they start screaming

41
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>and she opens her eyes, it drops her from the

42
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 1>ceiling onto the pillows on the floor just full drop

43
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and they all went screaming running. A lot of people

44
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>went home, but they never really had a big encounter

45
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 1>after that. It just kind of went back to taking things,

46
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>hiding things, a nuisance. Really. Around two thousand and eight,

47
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 1>in New York, my childhood home, it started coming after

48
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>me and my sisters. During the same time, in Virginia,

49
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>where Kay lives with her daughters, it started coming after

50
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>them as well. So it was just kind of in

51
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>two places at once somehow, and it would show itself

52
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 1>in my backyard. Originally I could see it on the

53
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>line of the woods in our yard and it would

54
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 1>just stand there, and then it started getting closer and

55
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 1>closer until I would be home alone and I would

56
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>see it on our back porch looking at me through

57
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the glass door. I did not like that. I would

58
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>hide from it. It looked like the outline of what

59
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>seemed like stereotypical back wild West Native American. But we

60
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>all knew it wasn't that. We could all tell like,

61
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not right. It's trying to fool us. Because it

62
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>started in Virginia in the area where they were there

63
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>happened to have been a lot of like burial grounds

64
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that, so it seemed to kind of

65
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>take on what people would assume it would instead of

66
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>what it seemed to be doing, which was a lot

67
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>worse than what you would assume a native spirit would

68
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>be doing. I then started hearing stuff inside the house.

69
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>We're not sure if the noises I would hear was

70
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 1>this entity or something else. In the area that's where

71
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I grew up. The area is very well known for

72
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>paranormal happenings. I live about a block from the spot

73
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>that had the most US sidings in New York State

74
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>for the longest time. I live right on the edge

75
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of a subject of the Appalachian Mountains, a lot of

76
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>paranormal things. So the noise is not really sure if

77
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>it was this entity or not. But I would hear

78
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>somebody walking in our attic, and our attic is unfinished,

79
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 1>so nobody can even walk up there. But I would

80
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>hear footsteps over my bed at night, just kind of

81
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>pacing over where I slept, and I slept on a

82
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>bunk bed. I shared my bedroom with my sister at

83
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the time, and I had the top bunk, so it

84
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>was like right over top of me. And I would

85
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>hear this every couple nights just as walking until one

86
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>night in two thousand and nine, this entity came inside

87
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the house. I was coming to bed. I always was

88
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the last when I go to bed, even at about

89
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>eleven years old, it's always and I'm walking back to

90
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 1>the room, lights are out. I come in and I

91
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>just can tell something's wrong. The way the room is

92
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>set up, the doors all the way on one side

93
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>of the room, it's on the left side. On the

94
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>right side at the end is where the bed is.

95
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Across from the bed is a TV. We had this

96
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 1>little TV and it was on, but it was just

97
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>on blue screen. Nothing was playing, so it has that

98
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>blue light washing over the room. I look and underneath

99
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 1>the bottom bunk where my sister is sleeping, there's no

100
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>light touching. It's just like a black wall under the bed.

101
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I kind of thought that's not normal, but tried to

102
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>brush it off until I walked in and I got

103
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 1>closer to the bed, and all of a sudden, these

104
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>glowing red eyes appeared in this black mass under the bed,

105
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and it started this unnatural growling noise. I was kicked

106
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 1>into fight or flight. I didn't know what to do.

107
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I didn't run out of the room. I got close

108
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 1>enough to jump from the head of the bed to

109
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the foot of the bed and halfway up the ladder,

110
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>almost like an athlete that I was not at the time,

111
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and I ran up to the top and hit under

112
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the covers. After a little bit, I heard this noise

113
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>come from the bottom. It sounded a noise almost like

114
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:21.839
<v Speaker 1>a snort, like a when a bull snorts in anger.

115
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>It kind of made that noise. After a while, I

116
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>could feel that heaviness leave, so it wasn't hanging out anymore.

117
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>It had left when it realized I was not going

118
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to let it come near me. After that, it seemed

119
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to kind of back off a little bit, at least

120
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 1>from me. I didn't really have anything happen other than

121
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it would turn off the lights constantly on me. Electronics

122
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 1>would break very easily, and I would constantly have issues

123
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>with my things disappearing. After my instance here, it started

124
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>going after Kay's children. And we knew this because we

125
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 1>would visit a lot we used to stay in. They

126
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>had a detached garage with like an apartment above it,

127
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and we always called it the guest house, and that's

128
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>where we would stay when we visit it. One time

129
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm in there. I had gone back early to the

130
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>guesthouse for the one to go to bed. But I'm

131
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 1>sitting there TV on trying to go to sleep and

132
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I hear what sounds like someone coming up the stairs

133
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 1>to the door for the apartment. I call out to

134
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 1>my parents, thinking it's one of them coming back to

135
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 1>go to bed. Nothing. Then I yell out to my dad,

136
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>thinking it was my dad. He loved to like jokes

137
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>like that and try to scare us. No response. My

138
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>dad would have answered if it was him. So with

139
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the no response, I was like, Okay, so this is

140
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>not my parents, but it's coming up really slowly. As

141
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 1>it got a little passed halfway up the stairs, I

142
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 1>ran over and locked the door. As it got to

143
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 1>the top. I'm hiding at the other end of the apartment,

144
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 1>away from the door, and I can see the doorknob

145
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>turn and it keeps turning back and forth like someone's

146
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to open it. And then it starts jiggling like

147
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>someone's aggressively trying to open it, and I could see

148
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 1>a shadow from underneath the door like someone was standing there.

149
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>After about a minute straight of it trying to get in,

150
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.639
<v Speaker 1>it stopped and I started hearing footsteps down the stairs,

151
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 1>but only to about halfway and then it stopped. I

152
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>just sat in the corner hiding, did not go to sleep.

153
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I stayed there until my parents came and got annoyed

154
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that I had locked the door on them. The following day,

155
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Mom and Kay took most of us to go to

156
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the store. My middle sister and her middle daughter ended

157
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>up staying at the house because they wanted to play.

158
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 1>They did not want to go shopping, so we left.

159
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Kay's daughter's uncle lived next door, so her uncle was

160
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 1>always there. They weren't alone alone, but they're playing in

161
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 1>the living room, and connected to their living room is

162
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>their kitchen, and they had this intercom system in the

163
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 1>main house that connected to about half the rooms, not

164
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>all of them. They hear the intercom turn on in

165
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen and it was just static. So they go

166
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>over and they hit it and call, thinking maybe one

167
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of us stayed behind and just didn't tell them. They

168
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>get back heavy breathing through the innercock. They hit it again,

169
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>saying who is it? The heavy breathing just gets louder.

170
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Behind the kitchen, there's a hallway and down it is

171
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>all the bedrooms and everything. It's a very skinny hallway,

172
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 1>so they go around to look down the hall to

173
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>see if any of the doors are open, if anybody's

174
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>in the rooms, and they just see this really thick darkness.

175
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 1>It goes about halfway. It's like a gradient, so it

176
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 1>gets darker the further down the hallway you go, and

177
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>they see this shadow like person at the end looking

178
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>at them, and it starts running them. They booked it

179
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>out of the house, screaming loud enough that her uncle

180
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>came and they're sitting out on the driveway. When we

181
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>came back, they're sobbing. They would not go back in

182
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the house. My mother and Kay are both telling them

183
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>it was nothing. You were imagining things you watch a

184
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 1>scary movie. I knew better. I knew exactly what it was,

185
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and I wouldn't go back in the house either. I

186
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just went back to the guest house. I was like, Nope,

187
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not dealing with that. It kind of didn't bother

188
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 1>us as much after that. It just seemed to like

189
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 1>scaring us. It fed off of that, and when it

190
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.039
<v Speaker 1>couldn't scare us as much anymore, it backed off a

191
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit. In the same childhood home in my bedroom

192
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 1>in New York. My aunt passed away. I was really

193
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>close to her her and a couple of years after

194
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 1>she passed, I'm still not able to deal with that.

195
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I was only nine when she passed. Around the same

196
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>time as this entity started, I was not doing okay.

197
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:18.159
<v Speaker 1>I was upset, didn't sleep well, and one night, I'm

198
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 1>still upset about her passing. All of a sudden, like

199
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to force myself to go to sleep. Close

200
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.679
<v Speaker 1>in my eyes, I take one of my stuffed animals,

201
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.279
<v Speaker 1>put it over my eyes, just trying to get myself

202
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>to go to sleep, and I can see light like

203
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>someone's shining a flashlight at my eyes very close, and

204
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I can see my eyelids, but I still have the

205
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 1>stuffed animal over my eyes, so there's no way that

206
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:49.879
<v Speaker 1>could have happened. And I get this wave of calm

207
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>come over me, and I could hear a voice basically

208
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>tell me to relax, it's okay, And in the moment,

209
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize whose voice it was, but in the morning,

210
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>when I woke up, I realized it was my late

211
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:10.759
<v Speaker 1>aunt who had said, you know, it's okay, relax, And

212
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 1>right after she talked, I felt like a dog licked

213
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>my face, and I had had a childhood dog when

214
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I was born. My parents had a German shepherd and

215
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 1>she had to be put down when I was about

216
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:30.279
<v Speaker 1>three from cancer. That was her licking my face, and

217
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.159
<v Speaker 1>I just immediately after that just knocked out and had

218
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 1>the best sleep I had had in years. I finally

219
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>felt calm, and I finally was okay with everything that

220
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>had happened to my aunt, and I was able to

221
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 1>accept it after that, I one hundred percent believe that,

222
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>like after people pass, if it's strong enough, if they're

223
00:15:55.639 --> 00:16:00.399
<v Speaker 1>able to that, they will visit us and check in

224
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>on us and let us know they're okay. And twenty fifteen,

225
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I graduated and I went to college in Orlando, Florida,

226
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 1>so I moved there. I would live in my grandparents' house.

227
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>They have a house there, and they only stayed about

228
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>half the year. There are snowbirds. During the half that

229
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I was there alone, you could always feel this heaviness

230
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in the left side of the house, where my grandparents'

231
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.559
<v Speaker 1>master suitet was. I would not go near there. I

232
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't even like going in the garage that was on

233
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 1>that side of the house. I just stayed far away

234
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>from it as I could. It was always dark. Even

235
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>if he turned the light on, it just was still

236
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>very dark over there. Even when they stayed there, I

237
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>could still feel it even though they were in that

238
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 1>room at the ensa there. It was about end of

239
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen. I was getting ready to graduate. I'm like

240
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>doing my homework. I would do my homework at the

241
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>back of the house. So the house's open concept except

242
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>for the master suite, which was completely closed off from

243
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the house, and on the right side there was a

244
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>hall with a bedroom at the front of the house

245
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and the back. I stayed at the back of the house.

246
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 1>At the back of the open concept, they had a

247
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 1>screened in porch, which down there is called a Florida room.

248
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Some of them have glass. They happen to have glass

249
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and screen. And I would hang out back there to

250
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.559
<v Speaker 1>do my homework because it was a lot cooler sometimes

251
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>than the house. I was out there late doing my homework.

252
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm packing all my stuff up, putting it back in

253
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.839
<v Speaker 1>my room in my backpack. As I'm doing so, I'm

254
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 1>heading back to my room and I'm turning out the lights.

255
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I get to the beginning of the hallway to my bedroom,

256
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 1>and I just stop because the hair on the back

257
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 1>of my neck stands up. And I hear like a

258
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>voice in my head say, don't look behind you. And

259
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I get a glance in my peripheral and I see

260
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:23.319
<v Speaker 1>that darkness creeping forward. Even with the light on. It

261
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.640
<v Speaker 1>was like engulfing the space. And I'm standing there and

262
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I hear the same voice tell me to run. I

263
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 1>flicked the switch and I booked it down the hall

264
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 1>into my room. As crazy it may as it may sound,

265
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I still turned off the lights because I would rather

266
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:52.359
<v Speaker 1>deal with that than my grandmother going on about wasting electricity.

267
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm in the dark running to my room, which

268
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>is the only light on at this point, and I

269
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:03.160
<v Speaker 1>can hear heavy steps on the carpet behind me, So

270
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing was huge. I get in my room, slammed

271
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the door. I'm able to just lock it. As I

272
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>pull my hand back, the door shakes like a really

273
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.519
<v Speaker 1>big football player has just body slammed into the door.

274
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that kind of saved me is I

275
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>happened to have a rosary hanging on the back of

276
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the door that I had just put there like a

277
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 1>night or two ago. I ran over locked the other

278
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>door into the room because it connected to the bathroom,

279
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 1>and I just waited it out. I did not sleep.

280
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 1>It was like stalking the room. I could hear it

281
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 1>on the carpet outside the room. It would go around

282
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>to the outside of my room, to the back where

283
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 1>there were motion sensor lights, and it kept setting him off.

284
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I would look, there was no there, and would just

285
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>keep setting it off. Got up in the morning, went

286
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.240
<v Speaker 1>to a shop nearby, bought sage. I saved the house.

287
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 1>It did not help. Later it chased me out of

288
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the house. In the middle of the night about two am.

289
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I happened to be up and I could hear this

290
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 1>thing going around. It was setting off the lights again,

291
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and it was just stalking, and I got this overwhelming

292
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>sense of if I don't leave, something bad is gonna

293
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 1>happen to me. So i'd pack up and I'm getting

294
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 1>ready to leave. I had a pet, chinchilla, and I

295
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.480
<v Speaker 1>just felt like if I left him there, I was

296
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:58.079
<v Speaker 1>coming back to not having a pet anymore. So I

297
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 1>grabbed him as well ran out of the house. As

298
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm running out the front door, I'm like, not looking up,

299
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>not looking around, just straightforward, and I could hear this

300
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:16.079
<v Speaker 1>like deep laugh in the house behind. I ran out

301
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>to my car, peeled out, and as I'm peeling out,

302
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm aware of the fact that there are only two

303
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 1>lights on in the house, my bedroom and by the

304
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 1>front door. I book it. I go to a church.

305
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting in the church parking lot where I finally

306
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>felt safe. Not super religious, but I Catholic. So I'm

307
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>just in this church parking lot and I call my cousin.

308
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm freaking out. It's just like, calm down, you have

309
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to go back. You can't just stay in a parking

310
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 1>lot all night. So I finally head back, and as

311
00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm pulling back into the driveway, I see every light

312
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>in the house is now on. As I get out

313
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and go to the door, I can hear that laugh again,

314
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 1>like it's mocking me, showing me what it can do.

315
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.599
<v Speaker 1>And at this house, I don't believe that this is

316
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the same thing that followed my mother and Kay and

317
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 1>then us. Whatever this was was one hundred percent demonic,

318
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 1>because I would get the smell of like rotten eggs

319
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 1>every once in a while and stuff like that, and

320
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>it seemed when I used sage the second time and

321
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>used as salt on the doorways. It seemed to back

322
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 1>off a little bit, and it turned into scratches every

323
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 1>night on my door. It didn't really get past that

324
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:55.359
<v Speaker 1>at that point. That was my last big instance. I

325
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>moved out of that house as soon as I graduated.

326
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I was not staying there. I moved back to New

327
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>York into my childhood home and haven't really had any

328
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.400
<v Speaker 1>issues other than my things still go missing, and I

329
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 1>still have the lights turn out on me and electronics

330
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:17.400
<v Speaker 1>will freak out sometimes, but that's pretty much it. I

331
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 1>mentioned it to my cousin. She had been at the

332
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>house before. Both of us kind of have like a

333
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 1>sixth sense. I usually will hear things and she'll usually

334
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>see things. So she had seen stuff before and I

335
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 1>had heard it, so she knew about it. And I

336
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:46.279
<v Speaker 1>told my dad because it was his mother's house, and

337
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he kind of brushed off. He's like, now, it's probably

338
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.880
<v Speaker 1>your imagination. It was funny that he would brush off

339
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>because he had stuff happened to him in his childhood

340
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:01.839
<v Speaker 1>home after he played with Luigi board. That was probably

341
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 1>my first experience ever was at his house when I

342
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.519
<v Speaker 1>was very young, having something watched me from the bottom

343
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of the stairs at like four years old as I

344
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:16.599
<v Speaker 1>walked to the bathroom. But it never came near us.

345
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 1>It never attacked us, It never tried to harm us.

346
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 1>It just watched at his house, his childhood home.

347
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:50.000
<v Speaker 3>My story started about ten years ago. My son was

348
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:53.480
<v Speaker 3>about two and a half three years old. I was

349
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 3>a brand new dad, and we were renting this house,

350
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:01.359
<v Speaker 3>one story house on the east side of town. We

351
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:03.359
<v Speaker 3>were doing good and then, you know, we just got

352
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 3>hit with some bad luck. Unfortunately, my wife at the

353
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.720
<v Speaker 3>time was indisposed and was taken away for a little bit,

354
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:14.920
<v Speaker 3>so it was just me and my son. I have

355
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.599
<v Speaker 3>two other step children, but they were with their father

356
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 3>and it was just me and my son in the

357
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 3>house alone. I believe it's either the second or third

358
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 3>night us alone, just me and him, and he was

359
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 3>sleeping in my bed. And it happened around eleven thirty

360
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 3>twelve o'clock somewhere around there. We were both asleep, but

361
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 3>he just started crying. Like mind you, I've been to

362
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 3>a dad for a couple of years now, and I

363
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 3>know the differences from crying. But this wasn't like him

364
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 3>crying because he was hungry or sad. This was this

365
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 3>was a crying like he was scared, like a blood clutter.

366
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 3>It freaked me out. I jumped out of bed. I

367
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 3>was looking at him because you know, I was. I

368
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 3>turned on the night light and I was just checking

369
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 3>him down because I know we had squarepions in our

370
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 3>house before, and I was just looking for maybe he

371
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 3>got bit, maybe he got stung or something, you know.

372
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 3>But he was just crying, crying after I checked him,

373
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.440
<v Speaker 3>and I was just looking at his eyes. He wasn't

374
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.240
<v Speaker 3>looking at me. He was looking past me at the door.

375
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 3>My bedroom door was open and it leads right into

376
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:41.160
<v Speaker 3>the living room dining room area. Everything was dark except

377
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 3>for my light on my nightstand. But he wouldn't even

378
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.200
<v Speaker 3>look at me. I would call his name, I wouldn't

379
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:53.599
<v Speaker 3>try to get his attention, he would not look away.

380
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.799
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking, was he staring at you know? I

381
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 3>started freaking out, and I asked him, like, what is wrong?

382
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you see something? I don't know why I thought

383
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 3>of that, but it was just weird how he was

384
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 3>just staring at the doorfront. And he could understand English,

385
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 3>but he couldn't like speak very many words, but he

386
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 3>could understand yes, no, so he was shaking his head yes,

387
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.160
<v Speaker 3>when I asked him if he was seeing something, and

388
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:28.799
<v Speaker 3>when he said yes, I freaked out, getting goosebumps therves.

389
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:32.000
<v Speaker 3>So I looked over my shoulder and I looked towards

390
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 3>the door, and I couldn't see anything. But it was dark,

391
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.079
<v Speaker 3>mind you. It was midnight, close to midnight, and it

392
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 3>was completely pitch black in there. And usually I could

393
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:47.519
<v Speaker 3>see the blinds from across the living room, you know,

394
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.680
<v Speaker 3>you got a little bit of moonlight coming in or something.

395
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 3>But I couldn't even see that. It was darker than dark.

396
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I kept looking back and forth between the door and him,

397
00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:59.839
<v Speaker 3>and he was just crying and crying, and he was

398
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know what else to do. I just started praying,

399
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:11.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, I started praying to bother mussel. When I

400
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 3>was praying, I was trying to put everything I had

401
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:18.440
<v Speaker 3>into it, like all my faith, all my energy into

402
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 3>the prayer, because I was so scared and I didn't

403
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 3>want anything to happen, and I don't know what I

404
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:30.000
<v Speaker 3>can do against something that's supernatural. In my eyes, After

405
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I finished the prayer, I was saying, you're not allowed here.

406
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:38.359
<v Speaker 3>You need to leave this house. You were not allowed here,

407
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Like I will say in it with every fiber of

408
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:47.160
<v Speaker 3>my being. I was putting so much energy into those words. Afterwards,

409
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 3>I shut the door, but when I turned around, my

410
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 3>son was already he stopped crying, and he started laying down,

411
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:58.759
<v Speaker 3>and then like he just turned over and he went

412
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:05.000
<v Speaker 3>to bed like nothing ever happened. Coming back to it,

413
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.519
<v Speaker 3>and I opened the door, I could see the windows again,

414
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 3>and it's like that wasn't like that like a couple

415
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.319
<v Speaker 3>seconds ago. So I go to the living room and

416
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I start checking everything. I turned on the lights, of course,

417
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.319
<v Speaker 3>and I'm looking around the dining room area, living room, kitchen,

418
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 3>the hallway. I start checking the doors, the back door.

419
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:40.839
<v Speaker 3>Everything's locked, everything secure. It was really really weird. That

420
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.079
<v Speaker 3>was like the only thing that ever happened in that house.

421
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.119
<v Speaker 3>That was the only thing that ever happened in my life.

422
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 3>Nothing before or since then has happened, but just that

423
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 3>one incident. I don't know. It was just definitely one

424
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.279
<v Speaker 3>for the books. I don't know how else to explain it.

425
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:02.000
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't until like a couple of years later when

426
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.640
<v Speaker 3>he can actually formulate senses and everything. And I asked

427
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.200
<v Speaker 3>my son, like, do you remember when you got woken

428
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 3>up and you were crying. He had no recollection of it.

429
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't blame him. He was three two

430
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.960
<v Speaker 3>and a half, so I don't foresee him remembering something

431
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 3>like that. I know that kids and pets they can

432
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 3>see stuff that we can't see because we kind of

433
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 3>grew out of it. But we got taught that stuff

434
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 3>is not there, you know, so we end up unlearning

435
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 3>what stuff that we can see. I didn't notice my

436
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 3>middle child, his name is John, when he was a

437
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.160
<v Speaker 3>little kid, like he didn't get to meet his grandfather,

438
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:52.000
<v Speaker 3>he passed away before he was born. He was in

439
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.240
<v Speaker 3>the living room and my wife was in the kitchen area.

440
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 3>She was doing dishes, I believe or whatever, but she

441
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:01.039
<v Speaker 3>was hearing John laughing and playing. And I think he

442
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:06.519
<v Speaker 3>was about maybe four he was able to talk. He

443
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 3>mentioned to his mom that he was playing with grandpa.

444
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.880
<v Speaker 3>It was funny because like he was laughing, having a

445
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 3>good time, like he was legit playing with somebody that

446
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.079
<v Speaker 3>wasn't there, and he said it was his grandpa. Class

447
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 3>forward to my son now, he's I want to say,

448
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.960
<v Speaker 3>he's like maybe one one and a half. We were

449
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 3>living in an apartment on the East Side, and we

450
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 3>had one of those little bouncers that you hang in

451
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:43.400
<v Speaker 3>the door frame, so we would have him just bouncing around.

452
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.319
<v Speaker 3>Me and my wife were just sitting right across straight

453
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 3>in front of him on the couch and we were

454
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.319
<v Speaker 3>just watching TV watching him bounce or whatever. But he

455
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 3>would turn around and he would like look behind him

456
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.559
<v Speaker 3>and up and laugh like he was just laughing, laughing,

457
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 3>And he was just jumping up and down, turning the

458
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:02.400
<v Speaker 3>back around, turning to us laughing, turning back to behind

459
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.039
<v Speaker 3>him and laughing, and I just thought it was kind

460
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>of weird. But then my wife was telling me, I

461
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:13.720
<v Speaker 3>bet you he's seeing his grandpa because he never met

462
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 3>my son. He was way gone before he showed up,

463
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 3>and so it was a nice, little warm, welcoming feeling

464
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.359
<v Speaker 3>like it was. It was so nice. It was like

465
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 3>he got to see his new grandson that he never

466
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:31.960
<v Speaker 3>got to meet in a way. So it was so cool.

467
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.279
<v Speaker 3>I do believe that these kids can see these things

468
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 3>and experience it before we end up teaching them that

469
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:42.400
<v Speaker 3>nothing's there.

470
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 2>A huge thank you to Calin from the first story

471
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:56.079
<v Speaker 2>in Pablo. From our second one that we got to

472
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 2>hear tonight, these stories were genuinely creepy, especially the one

473
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.359
<v Speaker 2>about the child. But let's not forget when we have

474
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.279
<v Speaker 2>paranormal entities or what we believe to be paranorm entities

475
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.440
<v Speaker 2>following us from generation to generation. It's also pretty creepy.

476
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 2>We actually talked about it before in previous episodes, where

477
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 2>there's hauntings, like if there's something going on in your

478
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 2>house and then they do some research and the family

479
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:25.039
<v Speaker 2>finds out that maybe your grandmother some relative had to

480
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 2>do something with the paranormal or witchcraft end up affecting you.

481
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:32.119
<v Speaker 2>We have a lot of these little snippets of stories

482
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 2>scattered all throughout, like comment sections, emails, and all of

483
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>these really really short stories that we get to hear

484
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker 2>or I get to read basically, and they don't actually

485
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.519
<v Speaker 2>have a place to share them with everybody. But I

486
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 2>guess I could find a little slot here, like after

487
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.799
<v Speaker 2>the podcast epens, to share some of these things with you.

488
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 2>But it makes me wonder like if these things can

489
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 2>be transferred, And also, I mean, if you're a believer

490
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>in paranormal things, you know that there's something else out there.

491
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Also comes along with the thoughts that maybe only certain people,

492
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe only children can see certain things, or maybe only

493
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 2>certain people have the power to transfer these I don't know,

494
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 2>events or paranormal feelings like or sensitivity to them down

495
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to another family member. Very interesting to think about. But

496
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to mention some of these comments that I

497
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:27.360
<v Speaker 2>got in the last episode the story from the last visit,

498
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:32.159
<v Speaker 2>best Friend's Spirit returns home. Like I said that at

499
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the end of the episode, that one really really got

500
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.400
<v Speaker 2>me in terms of like it just felt something I

501
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:39.960
<v Speaker 2>could relate to, and it felt like from seeing the

502
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 2>comments on Spotify, also something that you resonated with. So

503
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I know it was

504
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker 2>a different, different thing that we normally do. But Sonya

505
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 2>here for example, says Sonya Salasade says, this one was sentimental,

506
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 2>but I enjoyed it made me think about my loved

507
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:02.239
<v Speaker 2>ones whom passed on. Torres asked, is that a cat

508
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:03.960
<v Speaker 2>in the background, And yes, actually, and I don't have

509
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:06.239
<v Speaker 2>a cat. It's actually not my cat. Is I was

510
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:08.960
<v Speaker 2>out staying at my cousin's house and there's a cat

511
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:11.760
<v Speaker 2>outside that you know, he comes to get food and stuff,

512
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>so he kind of adopted him. But he wanted to

513
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.519
<v Speaker 2>come in thinking that the voice me who was in

514
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.320
<v Speaker 2>there was my cousin, but no, it was a plus.

515
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm allergic to cats, so I actually can't have any cats.

516
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Let me see this one. This comment from Gutierre GQ says,

517
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.280
<v Speaker 2>six weeks after my only siblings passed away, my father

518
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>had a coronary bypass. I sat alone in the waiting

519
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.639
<v Speaker 2>room while they prepped my father for surgery. In my

520
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>mind I told my sister, I know you're here, but

521
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.679
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could see you. And at that moment,

522
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.519
<v Speaker 2>there was a brief shadow on the ground in front

523
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.519
<v Speaker 2>of me. There was absolutely no other person in the

524
00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:52.440
<v Speaker 2>waiting room but me. I believe it was her. She

525
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 2>always said it was just the two of us. The

526
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 2>two of us have always managed to get through things.

527
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot for that comment. By the way, this

528
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:07.440
<v Speaker 2>is it just makes me think like sometimes we do

529
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.599
<v Speaker 2>have people that just stay around, you know, and they're

530
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:15.159
<v Speaker 2>there when we ask for their help. So thanks for

531
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:15.599
<v Speaker 2>that comment.

532
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:16.079
<v Speaker 3>By the way.

533
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Lilac or Leelac says, this one gave me chills the

534
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.239
<v Speaker 2>whole time. OMG made me tear up. Yeah, it was

535
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:27.280
<v Speaker 2>a very emotional story. Cassandra says me out, I appreciate that,

536
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, the break the what is it called comic relief?

537
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Comedic relief? Comic ruth? Yeah, that cat Man, It just

538
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:40.320
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't go away. Amanda says, I believe in signs. My

539
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:43.000
<v Speaker 2>brother passed away in twenty eleven. My son was born

540
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:44.960
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twelve. He had a bunch of toys that

541
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.199
<v Speaker 2>required batteries and you had to push buttons to make

542
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>them noise, to make them make noise, they would just

543
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:53.679
<v Speaker 2>randomly go off all throughout the day. I never thought

544
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:57.039
<v Speaker 2>about it. I just thought it was a coincidence. Looking back,

545
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I can't help but wonder if that was him. Man

546
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:06.960
<v Speaker 2>these comments. Thanks so much for that, Amanda Daniella says,

547
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, this story was so sad and definitely

548
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 2>hit me too. My husband lost his best friend last year,

549
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and the heartbreak just reminded me of that day. I'm

550
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.159
<v Speaker 2>sorry for your lost too, Edwin. That's actually really crazy

551
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:18.480
<v Speaker 2>that you mentioned that it was a friend in the

552
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:21.159
<v Speaker 2>first podcast, because since I love the show so much,

553
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I recently just started listening to all the stories all

554
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:27.000
<v Speaker 2>over again. I just really listened to Philippe's story. I

555
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.159
<v Speaker 2>got chills. But it was great to hear you on

556
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:33.599
<v Speaker 2>the podcast again. Miss you. Yeah, thanks a lot, Daniella

557
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:35.679
<v Speaker 2>for that comment. You know, it took me a little

558
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:39.079
<v Speaker 2>bit to start recording again like these, you know, the

559
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:42.079
<v Speaker 2>intros and everything. But actually I'm remaking the like the

560
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.639
<v Speaker 2>episodes that came out with all my intros, they're coming

561
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.920
<v Speaker 2>back in. Like I said, I'm just stitching in the

562
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:49.039
<v Speaker 2>because I normally have them on there. This time, we

563
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.760
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get to it, like I just it just I

564
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:56.079
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get to the actual record. But yeah, I'm back

565
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.559
<v Speaker 2>here and we're still keeping it going. So thanks a

566
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:03.199
<v Speaker 2>lot for that. Let me see. Daniel Steuber says, he guys,

567
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.440
<v Speaker 2>has happened to me. I lost my son to suicide

568
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:08.840
<v Speaker 2>at twenty two years of age. I've had a song chorus.

569
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:11.400
<v Speaker 2>He loved interrupt music on my radio. I see his

570
00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 2>name everywhere and the number seven seven seven when he

571
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 2>was born. He was seven pounds seven ounces and he

572
00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:19.440
<v Speaker 2>was born on the seventh. Seven seven seven was his number.

573
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.360
<v Speaker 2>What's his number? I had just seen my son twenty

574
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes before he took his life. It hurt deep when

575
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:27.559
<v Speaker 2>I lost him, and I'm still trying to cope. But

576
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.159
<v Speaker 2>I do get signs, and I hope I get to

577
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.599
<v Speaker 2>continue to get them because it does help me with

578
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:34.679
<v Speaker 2>my grief. That's really tough, and I'm really sorry that

579
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:39.079
<v Speaker 2>that happened. I appreciate you commenting that and sharing that

580
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 2>with us. I can't imagine and what that's like, I

581
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:47.239
<v Speaker 2>cannot imagine. And man, I really hope you know there's

582
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:49.679
<v Speaker 2>other things too that can help you with your grief.

583
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.239
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I heard once that the sadness were

584
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:57.599
<v Speaker 2>like the pain doesn't fully go away, but things do

585
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 2>get mad, like the more manageable was goes on. But

586
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I know that we have to keep moving, like, we

587
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:05.639
<v Speaker 2>have to keep doing things, and I mean there's different

588
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>things for everybody, right, Like you probably have your own

589
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:11.719
<v Speaker 2>system of what helps you, but it's very tough and

590
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:15.440
<v Speaker 2>it's very tough, So I appreciate you sharing that. Viceniaz

591
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Cruz says, now this guy's telling the truth, not one

592
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:20.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred experiences and stay on the same story. I kind

593
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 2>of think he made up the Kendle towing part, but

594
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not impossible. Kendal is a very common name, and

595
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:27.679
<v Speaker 2>you know what, there might be some truth to your

596
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.679
<v Speaker 2>common here in terms of like we see things often

597
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 2>we don't pay attention to them until we have to.

598
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:38.320
<v Speaker 2>But see, that's what I believe is kind of the paranormal,

599
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:42.599
<v Speaker 2>like a huge role deals with that things that are

600
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:46.079
<v Speaker 2>everywhere all the time, like all at once, all there

601
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.000
<v Speaker 2>like at all times basically, and whenever there's something that

602
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.760
<v Speaker 2>we need to, like a message that we need to receive,

603
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:59.000
<v Speaker 2>we tend to open up our ears and our minds

604
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.079
<v Speaker 2>to that specif big thing or something does it for us.

605
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that makes sense, but but yeah,

606
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>comment totally totally valid. Chris Manning says, love your podcast,

609
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.880
<v Speaker 2>this is one from Dead Silence in the Woods, a

610
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.880
<v Speaker 2>terrifying encounter. We have a lot more comments on here,

611
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:22.440
