1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,279
Speaker 1: Although it happened quite some time ago, I'm still bothered

2
00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:12,880
by this experience. Around September of last year, I spent

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,120
the night at my grandparents' home. That evening, everything seemed

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,000
to be going relatively normally. We ate my grandmother's delicious steak,

5
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:26,359
watched TV, and then looked at some old photos. When

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,359
night came around, I went to the guest bedroom, which

7
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:31,600
had been my room before when we used to live

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,439
with them. At around two o'clock, I put my laptop

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,759
up to play some music as I got ready for bed,

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,200
so that I might doze off. Now, let me tell

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,200
you there were a few paranormal occurrences when we used

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,840
to live there, but I wouldn't characterize any of them

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,000
as horrible or frightening. For instance, I've always been a

14
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,640
light sleeper and would wake up if someone even walked

15
00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:57,119
quietly on the wooden floors outside of my room. This

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320
happened a few times, waking up to soft footste in

17
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,520
the hallway by my room, but my grandparents assuring me

18
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:06,760
later that they were not up at all. One time,

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,319
I even went to check, but all the doors were

20
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:14,239
closed and nobody seemed to be awake anyway. The general

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,719
layout of my room was slightly odd compared to other rooms.

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,560
There was a corner in this room which led to

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,920
a small hallway before you reached the entrance door, so

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,799
from the bed you couldn't see the door, only the

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,640
small hallway leading to the door. I must have dozed

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,760
off pretty quickly, though, because I woke up suddenly without

27
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:37,840
even remembering falling asleep. It was around four in the morning,

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,560
and I felt extremely tired. This was a little unusual

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,480
because every time I'd wake up in the middle of

30
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,719
the night, I'd usually feel pretty awake and good, which

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,000
was often the reason for my body waking me up.

32
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:52,599
But this time I was really tired. I didn't hear

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,480
anything that woke me up, but since I was so tired,

34
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,560
I knew I hadn't just woken up on my own.

35
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:00,799
I looked in the direction of the shore hallway with

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,159
my half opened eyes, seeing nothing although it was dark,

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,480
I put my head back on the pillow and closed

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,879
my eyes. I laid for a few minutes in silence,

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,639
on the brink of sleep before I heard the awful

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,879
sound of my bedroom door closing. My eyes shot open

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,960
and I raised my body up from the pillow. Staring

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,680
into the empty darkness of the hallway. I must have

43
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:28,560
been frozen in that position for a whole minute before

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,400
I got out of bed and went over to the door.

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,280
Nothing was there, but I knew something was not right.

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,080
I always kept the door shut, so who opened it?

47
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:41,919
The thought made me shiver, and I quickly locked the door,

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240
then hopped back in bed. I told myself that it

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,960
must have been one of my grandparents, though I couldn't

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,039
come up with a reason for them opening and closing

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,439
my door. Trying to forget it, I closed my eyes

52
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:58,240
again and laid silently. Just as I did, loud running

53
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,439
footsteps came from outside the room, coming towards the door.

54
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,360
They sounded like heavy, barefoot steps, stopping abruptly at the

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,680
room door. I waited, completely horrified and in a total

56
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:15,960
state of shock. A few long, anxious seconds passed before

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,199
I again heard the door aggressively slam shut, this time

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,599
having seen the door already closed not even a minute prior,

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,800
and never hearing it open. I was stuck in a panic.

60
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,360
My heart was beating rapidly, and yet I felt like

61
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,680
I was too scared to move. I stayed sitting up

62
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:39,520
in my bed all night until morning. I hadn't told

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,639
my grandparents so as to not frighten them, and instead

64
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,080
just made an excuse to leave early and head home.

65
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:48,879
A few months later, though, I was sleeping over at

66
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,280
a friend's place, trying to fall asleep. While lying on

67
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:55,319
the floor, my eyes closed and my body facing away

68
00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,639
from the door, I heard it again, the door closing,

69
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:04,520
but this time softly. I looked over at my friend,

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,400
but he was already sound asleep and hadn't heard a

71
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:11,319
thing when I asked him in the morning. Surprisingly, I

72
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,919
haven't heard it since then, and I've never heard in

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,399
my own home. I have virtually no idea what I've

74
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,399
been experiencing, but I have a very strong feeling that

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,319
I'm being watched by a paranormal entity. I still don't

76
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,399
understand the significance of the already closed door closing again,

77
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:31,560
but I would really appreciate it if someone could explain

78
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,600
it to me, or even share with me a method

79
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,839
to get rid of it, because even still today, I

80
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:40,639
lay in bed paranoid every night, fearing that I may

81
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:51,519
wake up to something horrible. I moved into a small

82
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,680
apartment building last summer. It was a cheap two bedroom place,

83
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,560
and was really my only option considering my low paying

84
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,800
job I had at the time. The building was very

85
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,680
clearly not well taken care of, and neither was the room.

86
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,759
There was a build up of mold in several areas,

87
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,160
and the place honestly just looked like it was falling.

88
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560
Apart of all these things, though, the one thing that

89
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,759
stood out the most was the lack of other residents.

90
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:20,920
I'd lived in a couple apartment complexes before moving into

91
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:24,920
this one, and rarely would a room even be available. However,

92
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,000
at this place, almost all of the rooms were still

93
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,839
available for rent. It was a small complex with only

94
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:35,079
eight rooms, but during the time I was there, only

95
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,839
two rooms were occupied, mine and in older couples on

96
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:41,759
the first floor. My room was on the third floor,

97
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,079
leaving the middle and top floor completely empty, but those

98
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:50,839
floors never truly felt empty. Having lived there for a

99
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,319
month at the time, I'd heard on multiple occasions people

100
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,639
talking below me. I always believed it was just the

101
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,519
older couple, as they were the only ones living below me,

102
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:04,959
though strangely, I'd only ever hear a woman's voice, never

103
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,720
a man's, and to make things stranger, i'd be able

104
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:11,240
to hear them pretty clearly, even though they were two

105
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,439
stories below me, it would always sound as though the

106
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,519
woman was muttering to themselves indistinctly. It would give me

107
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,959
the creeps sometimes when I would wake up and hear

108
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,680
the woman muttering to herself below me. But I thought

109
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,920
perhaps she was sleep walking, and maybe the vents to

110
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,560
my room were connected to theirs, allowing for the sound

111
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,800
to travel. But everything only got worse as time went on.

112
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Two months in, with nobody else moved in still, I

113
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,079
was walking up the stairs to my room and as

114
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,519
I walked past the second floor, I noticed a door

115
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,279
to one of the rooms was open. My curiosity got

116
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,319
the better of me, and I took a couple steps

117
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,360
towards the doorway to look inside. It was dark and empty,

118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,040
which is exactly what you'd expect of a vacant room,

119
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:55,680
but I got a really bad feeling the closer I

120
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,759
got to the doorway and ended up just continuing upstairs

121
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:02,040
to my room. Later that night, though, I was taking

122
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,560
the trash down and noticed the door was closed. It

123
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,399
was definitely weird, but I didn't know what to really think.

124
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,639
I knew nobody lived there, so what could it even be?

125
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,480
Maybe the owner of the building was working on the

126
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,920
room or something. That was the only thing I could

127
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,600
think of. Anyway, that night, I went to bed early

128
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,240
with a clear mind, but woke up some time in

129
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:26,120
the middle of the night hearing the woman muttering below

130
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,680
me again. Having seen the door below me opened earlier,

131
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,839
I was more curious about the mysterious woman this time.

132
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:35,680
I got out of bed, being sure not to make

133
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:38,680
much noise, and leaned my ear against the cold wooden

134
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,720
floor boards, listening. Her indistinct mumblings sounded close, but was

135
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,680
also more of a whisper. I knew there was no

136
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,279
way a whisper could sound so close if it was

137
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,800
coming from the old couple's room on the first floor.

138
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,279
At that moment, realizing this, I began to get nervous.

139
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:00,360
Part of me wanted to go downstairs to see if

140
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,560
the door was open again, but I knew I was

141
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,240
way too fearful to do that. Now, sitting in bed

142
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,240
again thinking, I started to hear the woman walking around slowly,

143
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,800
still talking to herself. It seemed like she was just

144
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:17,279
walking in random patterns in the room below me. After

145
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:22,279
a few minutes, though, she stopped very suddenly. It's safe

146
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,120
to say I was terrified, and the woman suddenly going

147
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,120
silent almost made it worse, as I no longer knew

148
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,240
where she was or what she was doing. But this

149
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,240
night would go on to be far more fear inducing.

150
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,519
I sat in bed, wide awake for thirty minutes, beginning

151
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,200
to wonder if the woman had somehow quietly left or

152
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,559
was possibly just standing in the same spot for the

153
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,039
past half hour. Either way, I was too scared to sleep,

154
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,000
and that's when I heard the floor creaking again as

155
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:55,200
someone was walking slowly across the floor. However, this time

156
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200
it was coming from above me. Soft creaks in the

157
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,200
floors slowly made their way through the upstairs room before

158
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:09,120
stopping directly above my bed. Several seconds of terrifying silence

159
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,960
passed before the woman's soft whispering came from above me.

160
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:18,039
Then they let out one loud, aching scream, almost sounding

161
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,840
as if it were right in front of my face,

162
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,080
before the room fell silent again. I was basically in tears,

163
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,080
holding my head and trying not to completely freak out,

164
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,720
but how could I not. I stayed up until dawn,

165
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,559
then made arrangements with my family to stay with them

166
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,440
for a while. I paid a fee to end my

167
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,759
lease and moved in with my parents while I looked

168
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,559
for a new place. The only time I went back

169
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
was to move my stuff into the moving truck, and

170
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,559
as I loaded up one of the last boxes, the

171
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:51,080
old couple came out to say goodbye. I hadn't never

172
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720
really talked to them, aside from simple greetings when we

173
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360
were going in or out, but they strangely seemed to

174
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,360
be really sad that I was leaving. I'm not sure

175
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,080
if they ever experienced anything that I had, but the

176
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,039
only thing I could focus on during our brief conversation

177
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:08,120
was how distinct the old lady's accent was, and that

178
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,200
it sounded nothing at all like the woman I heard mumbling.

179
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,039
After that, I didn't know what to think other than

180
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,960
how glad I was to be moving out. All I

181
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,320
can say is that I hope I never hear that

182
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:34,639
unknown woman's whispers ever again. My childhood home had a

183
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:37,600
lot of issues with its past. A lot of deaths

184
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,200
happened in the house prior to my family moving in.

185
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,840
Most recently, the people that were renting it out to

186
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:46,559
my mom and stepdad didn't want to live there because

187
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,879
their son had decided to opt out of life and

188
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,240
before that, a few murders even happened at the house.

189
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:56,639
We didn't know the details, but that's what the landlord's

190
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:00,759
told us. I was young when my mom met my stepdad,

191
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:05,200
and shortly after they met, they moved in together. I

192
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,639
didn't experience anything weird until my baby sister came along,

193
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,279
and that's when everything went wrong. The house had two bedrooms,

194
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,440
so I had to share a room with my baby sister.

195
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,759
We'll call her b Bee. Never stopped crying, and when

196
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:23,720
I was young, I absolutely couldn't stand her. I remember

197
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:26,559
this one night, though, when she was crying for hours

198
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:31,240
and all of a sudden she stopped. I looked over

199
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,759
and I saw the shadowy figure hovering over her crib.

200
00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:38,240
It didn't move much, but when it did, it was

201
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,639
slow and airy. I was terrified and hit under my

202
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:46,399
covers until I eventually fell asleep. When I told my

203
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,320
parents the next day, they thought it was just an imagination.

204
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,320
This happened so many more times of just waking up

205
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,519
and seeing a figure by my sister's crib, always by

206
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:59,960
the crib, nowhere else in the room. After a while

207
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,559
of complaining about it, I ended up sleeping in my

208
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,320
parents' room with my mom while my stepdad slept in

209
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,000
my room. But a lot more continued to happen. Shortly

210
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,519
after I started seeing this figure, my stepdad lost his job.

211
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,879
He was a hard working person, so I really shocked

212
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,440
my mom when it happened. He went through a rough depression.

213
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:23,039
He really loved his job, and losing it must have

214
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,799
been really hard for him. I remember him sitting on

215
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,200
the couch all day every day, just watching TV. One day,

216
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,559
when I got home from school, I came in and

217
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,159
saw him sitting on the couch and a dark figure

218
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:39,960
behind him. I remember it so clear, just standing behind

219
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,200
the couch. I didn't know what to do, so I

220
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,799
just began to cry, and my stepdad took me to

221
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,200
my room to calm me down. When my mom came home,

222
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,840
I told my parents that night of what I saw. Again.

223
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:58,919
My stepdad seemed disinterested and my mom just seemed annoyed. Again,

224
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,080
no one believed me. After that, there were a good

225
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,279
few weeks where nothing happened, followed by weeks of this

226
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:10,519
figure hanging around, usually either by Bee or my stepdad.

227
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:14,360
Some nights, when I slept in my room, i'd hear

228
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:18,399
a voice. It was a woman's voice coming from Bee's crib,

229
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,279
just talking to her. I never understood the words coming

230
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,440
from it, but it terrified me every time. As Bee

231
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,320
got older and began to walk and talk, I noticed

232
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,639
she spent a lot of time in that room talking

233
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,279
to her friend. My parents never seemed to worry about it,

234
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,080
saying it was just her imaginary friend, but I knew

235
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,159
what it was. The more this figure seemed to hang around,

236
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,200
the worse the emotions in the house got. My sister

237
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,879
was aloof never talked to anyone, My mom had so

238
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,879
much anger inside her, and my stepdad was always depressed,

239
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:57,879
and I was alone all the time. Then my parents

240
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:02,000
started fighting all the time, screaming things at each other.

241
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,919
My mom hated my stepdad for not keeping down a job,

242
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,080
and my stepdad was just a depressed mess. They seemed

243
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,320
to fight every single night, and every night it got worse.

244
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,559
While in my room, I even heard my stepdad telling

245
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,720
my mom to put the knife down. But worst of

246
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:22,799
all was the night when I stayed up in the

247
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,519
living room watching TV. It wasn't that late, maybe eight thirty,

248
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,879
and my stepdad was asleep on the couch while my

249
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:34,080
mom was in her room. Also tired now myself, I

250
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:37,360
turned off the TV and walked upstairs to my room.

251
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:40,039
At the top of the stairs, though, I started to

252
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,720
hear whispering, followed by Bee speaking back to the whispers.

253
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:46,879
The door was cracked open a few inches, and I

254
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,440
slowly walked over to look inside. Just a couple steps

255
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,000
away from the door, I could see Bee next to

256
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:56,080
the figure, as if it were trying to lead her somewhere.

257
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,879
I screamed, and instantly the door slammed shut. I just

258
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,200
stood there, screaming and crying before my mom rushed out

259
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,320
of her room. I just pointed at the door, unable

260
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,399
to make out any words. She tried to open it,

261
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:14,960
but it was locked. It was one of the cheaper ones, though,

262
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:17,159
so she was able to use her fingernail to twist

263
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,799
it and push the door open. Bee was in the

264
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:23,080
corner of the room, facing a wall. My mom yelled

265
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,440
at her for locking the door, even though she was

266
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,919
too short to even reach the doorknob. Bee didn't even

267
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,960
seem to have any sort of reaction. After that, I

268
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,519
fell into a depression along with what seemed like the

269
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:38,720
rest of the family. No one talked to each other,

270
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,799
no one asked me how I was. I became the

271
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:45,279
one taking care of my baby sister me and this

272
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,080
strange figure. I became familiar with it. It even started

273
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,879
hanging around my bed during nights where I was extra sad,

274
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,879
and it brought me a sort of weird comfort, knowing

275
00:15:55,919 --> 00:16:00,200
that I wasn't alone. Eventually, my mom had ann off

276
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,960
of my dad and we left to stay with my grandparents.

277
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:06,360
I remember her telling us to pack up, and as

278
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,720
we headed to the car, I saw the figure again

279
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,320
by my dad. I felt sad leaving him, but at

280
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:37,919
least he wouldn't truly be alone
