ever since i was a child i've gotten00:00:17
random snippets of deja vu these00:00:20
episodes last from a few seconds to a00:00:22
minute00:00:23
whenever i have them though i always get00:00:26
the sense that what just happened was00:00:28
something i had dreamt about00:00:30
i don't have particularly vivid dreams00:00:33
often and i rarely remember the details00:00:35
when they are vivid the real life00:00:37
occurrences trigger the feelings of deja00:00:40
vu00:00:41
but when i think about it logically i00:00:43
know that it's not something i've00:00:45
experienced before00:00:46
but rather something from a dream00:00:49
or maybe an alternate reality or00:00:51
something that my mind just interprets00:00:53
as a dream i'm not sure what to make of00:00:55
it and i've never told anyone else about00:00:58
this00:00:59
i guess i just want to know that i'm not00:01:01
alone00:01:19
i started recording my sleep a month ago00:01:21
to hear myself sleep talk but haven't00:01:24
really heard myself00:01:26
however yesterday morning i came across00:01:29
a very strange voice clearly saying wake00:01:32
up at 4 30.00:01:35
it's definitely not me as i'm a female00:01:38
and the voice is very deep00:01:40
my partner was in the spare room that00:01:42
night and you can hear no entrance into00:01:45
the room previous to the recording which00:01:47
you can hear with other recordings on00:01:49
the app where we enter or leave the00:01:51
bedroom no matter how quiet we are i00:01:54
have no idea what this could be00:01:57
nothing was heard after this apart from00:01:59
me possibly moving around00:02:02
and then when i woke up a few hours00:02:03
later00:02:04
now i'm scared especially as we've had00:02:07
some weird things happening in our house00:02:10
also just some answers to some questions00:02:13
or assumptions i know i'll get00:02:16
my partner pranking me it could be that00:02:19
i started using the app as my partner00:02:21
told me that i sleep talk00:02:23
i hadn't really heard much in the month00:02:25
that i was using it so i stopped using00:02:28
it for a couple of weeks00:02:29
therefore he had no idea i was recording00:02:32
on this night00:02:34
my partner is a terrible prankster and00:02:36
always ends up laughing even he's a bit00:02:39
freaked out00:02:40
me pranking00:02:42
definitely not like my partner i'm not00:02:45
good at holding it out00:02:47
and also i would probably come up with00:02:49
something a little bit better00:02:51
another assumption is that it's my voice00:02:53
but it's too low to be mine and it00:02:55
sounds robotic00:02:57
when i've heard myself sleep talk on00:02:59
this app in the past it sounds nothing00:03:01
like it00:03:02
according to fitbit at this time i00:03:04
wasn't dreaming so i couldn't have been00:03:06
sleep talking00:03:08
although i accept that this isn't00:03:10
exactly the most highly accurate data00:03:13
it's not a noise coming from outside00:03:15
either it's too clear noises from00:03:18
farther away sound well farther away00:03:22
and the phone is right next to me on the00:03:24
bedside table00:03:26
we have no idea what said it00:03:37
so00:03:46
i lost my very brilliant witty00:03:48
overachieving son to opioids almost five00:03:51
years ago00:03:53
he was extremely intelligent had a high00:03:55
iq00:03:56
was a gifted student who graduated00:03:58
college in three years00:04:01
he was self-sufficient with a great job00:04:03
and had a very dark terrible secret00:04:07
he became addicted to pills in college00:04:09
and managed to hide it for four years00:04:12
he didn't smoke and rarely drank i found00:04:15
out about his addiction just five weeks00:04:17
before his death and i was able to get00:04:19
him into treatment00:04:21
he would only stay there 11 days and i00:04:23
was with him at his apartment the last00:04:26
six days of his life00:04:28
on november 1000:04:29
2014 he gave me two red roses00:04:33
he said because you deserve these mom00:04:36
and i then dropped him off at an aaa00:04:38
meeting00:04:39
but he didn't go to the meeting00:04:42
he was found 45 minutes later and00:04:44
responsive in a pet smart bathroom with00:04:46
a needle in his arm00:04:49
since his death and i can't remember00:04:51
exactly when it started00:04:53
i have had roses come into my life time00:04:55
and time again in many different forms00:04:58
i moved to portland the rose city00:05:01
i adopted a cat00:05:03
she was already named rosie00:05:06
i decided to start photographing two00:05:08
roses which appear frequently00:05:10
i swear if anybody could figure out how00:05:12
to reach beyond the other world it would00:05:15
be my brilliant son00:05:17
they appear randomly and also on00:05:19
important dates his birthday00:05:22
my birthday mother's day00:05:25
for example00:05:27
on his birthday in 2016 i was at a00:05:29
thrift store the night before feeling00:05:31
sad and like a loser really00:05:34
i frequently beat myself up over losing00:05:36
my son the way i did00:05:38
as i was leaving i saw two red roses in00:05:41
a glass display case00:05:43
it stopped me in my tracks and as i00:05:45
looked at it00:05:46
i saw a little note00:05:48
pull my pin00:05:49
close to you00:05:51
it was a music box00:05:53
as i wound it up and pulled the pin it00:05:55
played close to you by the carpenters00:05:59
on the day that you were born the angels00:06:01
got together and decided to create a00:06:03
dream come true00:06:04
a song about a birthday00:06:07
of course i bought it00:06:08
i planted a red rose bush for my son00:06:11
when i moved to portland in 2015.00:06:14
it has struggled and has never really00:06:16
produced much00:06:18
last year in 201800:06:20
i noticed that it had two buds00:06:23
the bush produced two perfect red roses00:06:27
side by side that bloomed from mother's00:06:29
day to my birthday00:06:32
it produced no other flowers that year00:06:35
so odd00:06:36
my other roses had dozens of blooms00:06:40
i have countless other signs sometimes00:06:42
roses sometimes other unexplained events00:06:45
that leave me wondering00:06:47
at any rate00:06:48
this is my story00:07:07
we had a few things happen in our old00:07:09
house00:07:10
we lived there for 13 years a mid00:07:13
terraced victorian house in the united00:07:15
kingdom00:07:17
my partner has two sons that used to00:07:19
come over on the weekend to stay00:07:22
the youngest would never walk down the00:07:24
hall on the ground floor by himself to00:07:26
go to the toilet00:07:28
because he said he didn't like it00:07:30
we used to think it was just because it00:07:32
was a dark house00:07:34
you'd have to leave the living room walk00:07:36
down a hall that had a little dog leg00:07:39
before you got to the kitchen and then00:07:41
into the bathroom00:07:43
he wasn't bothered about the kitchen00:07:45
it was just the hall he didn't like00:07:48
that just happened all the time and we00:07:50
would just moan that he wouldn't go to00:07:52
the toilet but we would walk him through00:07:54
the hall anyway trying to convince him00:07:56
that it was fine and that it was just an00:07:59
old house00:08:01
we also used to have our pc desk under00:08:03
the stairs00:08:05
it was open to the hall but it was a00:08:07
nifty little space to work from00:08:10
i was making dinner one night and00:08:12
chopping something when i saw my partner00:08:14
pop his head round the door from my00:08:17
peripheral vision00:08:19
i knew he was working at the pc and00:08:21
thought what does he want00:08:23
so i walked down to the door and asked00:08:26
him he looked really confused so i told him00:08:29
what had just happened00:08:31
he swore that he hadn't moved from the00:08:33
spot00:08:34
i believed him because of his reaction00:08:37
i have no idea who it was but it was the00:08:40
head and shoulders of a man00:08:42
and it was so domestic that's why i was00:08:45
positive it was my partner to start with00:08:48
a few months later we were redecorating00:08:50
and the stairs were boxed in with00:08:52
plywood00:08:53
we had thought it looked pretty ugly for00:08:55
such an old house so he pulled it all00:08:58
down00:08:59
the next thing we both felt was a fresh00:09:01
air breeze building up00:09:03
no doors or windows were open00:09:07
we joked around saying it was the spirit00:09:09
trying to get out and he opened the00:09:11
front door and said goodbye00:09:14
the weird thing was that his son started00:09:16
going to the toilet all by himself after00:09:18
that happened00:09:20
he never said anything else about the00:09:22
hallway and had no issues with it00:09:25
we're pretty realistic and have a00:09:27
healthy skepticism00:09:29
but that was a little bit odd00:09:31
that whole place was a little bit odd00:09:51
so my boyfriend and i were staying at my00:09:53
grandma's house for about a week00:09:56
we both like late night walking so i00:09:59
decided to take him out on one and show00:10:01
him what it's like at my grandma's00:10:04
he's used to the city and my grandma's00:10:07
house is in the middle of nowhere00:10:10
we ended up walking a direction that i00:10:12
never go00:10:13
and we had walked for a few minutes00:10:15
before we had a field clearing on either00:10:17
side of the road00:10:20
we were talking when all of a sudden we00:10:22
heard coyotes toward the back part of00:10:24
the fields and mountains00:10:27
i told him they moved fast and that we00:10:29
should probably turn back and get back00:10:31
to the house00:10:33
we did but it seemed like the moment we00:10:36
turned to walk back they begin to close00:10:38
in00:10:40
within a matter of seconds they seem to00:10:42
be right behind us and we're closing the00:10:44
distance fast00:10:46
we began to panic and power walk and00:10:49
then jog because they sounded like they00:10:51
were in a frenzy00:10:53
after a minute or two of fear and00:10:55
adrenaline the sound died to a near00:10:58
silence00:10:59
almost home a dog ran out in front of us00:11:02
wanting attention00:11:04
however as soon as i went to pet him00:11:06
he seemed to notice something and00:11:08
immediately positioned himself behind us00:11:11
toward the coyote area we had just left00:11:14
and began barking and growling00:11:17
we took it as our cue and booked it the00:11:19
rest of the way home with his frantic00:11:21
barks in the background00:11:23
when we made it back my boyfriend wanted00:11:26
to sit on the steps to see if they had00:11:28
tracked us all the way back00:11:31
we sat for a moment before everything00:11:34
went silent00:11:35
all of a sudden00:11:37
a low deep growling noise filled the air00:11:41
it was everywhere all at once like a jet00:11:44
taking off00:11:46
it began to get louder as an ice cold00:11:49
chill ran straight down my back00:11:52
we both looked at each other for a00:11:54
second before i spoke up and told him00:11:56
something wasn't right and we needed to00:11:59
go in now00:12:01
we darted in the house and locked the00:12:03
doors done exploring for the night00:12:06
the coyotes are normal for our area00:12:09
and we're on their normal trail00:12:12
but what made them go silent and stop00:12:14
tracking us00:12:15
what was the dog so frantic about00:12:18
and more importantly00:12:20
what was that sound00:12:29
so00:12:38
my stepdad was always a dry man his00:12:41
humor was always what you would expect00:12:43
from someone born in the 1940s00:12:46
he was devout in his faith as a00:12:48
christian and hated superstition00:12:52
it intrigued me then in 2006 he00:12:55
confessed and i say confess00:12:58
because he tells his story in a tone00:13:00
that didn't really fit the mood of the00:13:02
night that he told us00:13:04
we were all just eating dinner talking00:13:06
about the patriots football game00:13:09
and that's when he tells me of a time00:13:11
that he took the train from chicago to00:13:13
southern wisconsin that stops in kenosha00:13:16
he was on the near empty train by00:13:19
himself when he looks out the window and00:13:22
sees a frozen pond very small00:13:25
about 10 feet from the train00:13:27
he sees about a dozen small men in green00:13:30
outfits00:13:32
some have top hats00:13:33
some have pointed hats of red and gold00:13:37
he was shocked00:13:38
it was a traditional midwest winter00:13:41
lightly snowing00:13:43
he was so shocked that he shared the00:13:45
experience with a random woman who was00:13:47
sitting across from him00:13:49
she noticed it too and the both of them00:13:52
watched in fascination and horror00:13:55
they said that they were scared00:13:58
that their train cart was so empty that00:14:01
nobody else seemed to notice00:14:03
the train began to move and they moved00:14:06
on00:14:07
as a teenager you can imagine my00:14:09
brothers and i asking many questions00:14:12
in my rational mind i thought perhaps it00:14:14
was an issue of scale00:14:16
maybe it appeared that they were short00:14:18
little men but he said that it was so00:14:20
close to the train and the pond was so00:14:23
small that there was no issue in scale00:14:26
or perspective00:14:28
he says that he knows he saw little00:14:31
gnomish men ice skating and doing00:14:34
acrobatics on a small little pond in the00:14:37
middle of winter00:14:40
it's interesting because now that i'm00:14:42
nearly 30.00:14:44
my husband told me a story recently00:14:46
about when he was 19.00:14:48
he was playing game boy at 9pm in bed00:14:52
and a little man with a pointy hand was00:14:54
at the foot of his bed00:14:56
and when he noticed him the little man00:14:58
ran under the covers00:15:00
and disappeared00:15:19
we have a home video of me at around00:15:21
three years old00:15:23
i'm just sitting in the bathtub talking00:15:25
to my mom about whatever three-year-olds00:15:27
have to talk about00:15:29
the video seems like your average home00:15:32
video of a toddler talking00:15:34
until i stopped my current train of00:15:36
thought00:15:37
and abruptly insert that my dad has00:15:39
broken his neck00:15:41
my mom stops me and asks why i would say00:15:44
that and of course i didn't have an00:15:46
answer00:15:48
i just repeated myself and said it again00:15:51
and then went back to talking about00:15:52
whatever i had been talking about before00:15:56
the video was filmed in a house in the00:15:58
town i was born in00:16:00
and soon we moved into my old00:16:02
grandparents house in another town00:16:04
my dad had been working the graveyard00:16:06
shift when we moved into the new house00:16:09
and one night he was later than usual00:16:11
coming home00:16:12
my mom had stayed up waiting for him but00:16:15
his dad showed up at our house instead00:16:18
saying that we had to go to the hospital00:16:21
my dad had been falling asleep at the00:16:23
wheel and had hit a car head-on while00:16:26
coming home the crash and broke his neck00:16:30
i remember going to see him at the00:16:31
hospital that night but i didn't00:16:33
remember having said that this exact00:16:35
thing was going to happen some six or00:16:38
seven months before00:16:40
my dad lived and is all right now and my00:16:43
mom showed me the video when i was00:16:44
around 12.00:16:47
my dad said that his brothers had00:16:48
predicted things or said things out of00:16:51
nowhere that ended up happening too00:16:53
i feel like it's all just an odd00:16:55
coincidence rather than having a family00:16:58
of people who have predicted multiple00:17:00
events00:17:01
but the date on the tape and the house00:17:03
that we lived in00:17:04
are from before my dad's accident00:17:07
the tape is there and the date shows it00:17:09
to be true but00:17:11
i still have a hard time believing i00:17:13
said what i did00:17:15
when i did00:17:23
so00:17:33
i ride my bicycle at night00:17:36
to me there is nothing more freeing than00:17:38
the sensation that i have the world to00:17:40
myself and i can explore and adventure00:17:43
as i please00:17:45
last night i was biking through the00:17:47
neighborhood of my childhood and teenage00:17:50
years i was in a mood for a bit of00:17:52
nostalgic melancholy i suppose00:17:55
there's a road where the development00:17:57
ends that i called the creepy wood00:17:59
street when i was a kid00:18:02
one side has houses00:18:04
the other is a train track topped hill00:18:06
the name came from before the area was00:18:09
expanded and it was a dirt track cutting00:18:11
through the woods00:18:13
so i was on the former creepy woods area00:18:16
when i noticed something felt off00:18:19
i felt a presence and i can only say it00:18:23
felt like00:18:24
rot00:18:25
it's hard to articulate it precisely00:18:29
around the time that i became aware of00:18:31
this presence00:18:32
i became aware of something else00:18:35
silence00:18:37
the crickets had stopped their chorus00:18:39
and the air seemed to keep moving00:18:42
but the rustle of the trees and bushes00:18:44
were somehow00:18:46
muted00:18:47
strangely there was a sensation that00:18:50
these were faded out00:18:52
rather than an immediate cessation00:18:55
about this time i began to feel00:18:58
hunted00:18:59
i guess fight or flight told me in no00:19:02
uncertain terms that flight was the00:19:04
answer and i began to pedal like a00:19:07
maniac00:19:08
i had the notion to not look back i'm00:19:11
not sure why but i didn't question it00:19:14
when i got off the road i felt a little00:19:16
bit better but i still felt watched00:19:20
it was then that i heard what a lot of00:19:22
folks would think is a blood curdling00:19:25
scream00:19:26
but i recognized it as a vixen's call00:19:29
we have a ton of foxes in my area00:19:32
i somehow felt drawn to it00:19:35
and sure enough as i turned off toward00:19:37
it00:19:38
i saw her00:19:39
a red vixen00:19:41
this was a little unique as i have only00:19:44
seen brown ones before00:19:46
she regarded me a moment and then ran00:19:49
off toward the creepy wood street00:19:52
i didn't think a lot of it00:19:54
until i saw a fox at the next turn who00:19:56
did the same00:19:57
then again at the next intersection00:20:00
which was the road leading out of the00:20:02
neighborhood00:20:03
granted i knew the way out but i felt00:20:06
like i was being guided by them somehow00:20:08
protected00:20:10
all of them also dashed off after00:20:12
looking at me a moment00:20:14
all toward the road where i felt like00:20:16
something was after me00:20:18
i'm so curious to know what anybody else00:20:21
thinks00:20:22
i'd like to know if anybody has any idea00:20:24
what the thing after me was00:20:26
and why the foxes seemed to show me a00:20:29
safe path00:20:31
it was a really cool experience whatever00:20:34
it was00:20:52
i'm fairly skeptical of the paranormal00:20:55
so i don't really know what to believe00:20:58
but the only stories that are even a00:21:00
little similar to what i experienced all00:21:03
seemed to be paranormal00:21:06
to give some backstory my street and00:21:09
neighborhood are pretty quiet00:21:11
especially at night due to the number of00:21:14
young families and elderly couples that00:21:16
live on my street00:21:18
which makes staying up into the early00:21:20
hours of the morning more relaxing00:21:22
and also a bit cooler knowing that i'm00:21:25
most likely the only person on my street00:21:27
that's awake00:21:29
the only thing is that i've had some00:21:31
creepy experiences00:21:33
like hearing noises or even seeing a few00:21:36
drug deals00:21:37
but most of that can be chalked up to00:21:39
living next to a big forest with lots of00:21:41
wildlife or just some sketchy neighbors00:21:44
but for the past week i've been trying00:21:46
to find a logical explanation for the00:21:49
strange events that keep occurring00:21:52
it started at 2 am last tuesday morning00:21:56
i was just sitting in my bed on my phone00:21:58
with earbuds in00:22:00
something i do almost every night00:22:03
when i began to hear whistling coming00:22:05
from out my window00:22:07
i took my earbuds out and began00:22:09
listening to the whistle trying to come00:22:11
up with an explanation00:22:14
normally i'm not scared by anything in00:22:16
my neighborhood this late and to be00:22:18
honest i get more excited that00:22:20
something's happening and that i'm there00:22:21
to witness it00:22:23
but this time felt different00:22:26
i wanted so badly to get up00:22:29
to look out my window00:22:31
but i was almost paralyzed with fear00:22:34
i don't know what came over me but every00:22:37
minute that went by of this whistling i00:22:39
felt the pit in my stomach growing00:22:41
larger00:22:43
it went on for almost an hour00:22:45
and for the entire hour i waited for the00:22:47
whistling to start a tune or a song i00:22:50
could look up00:22:52
but it just kept whistling the same note00:22:54
in a strange pattern00:22:56
it would whistle one note for a good00:22:58
minute00:22:59
then take a break for about 30 seconds00:23:02
and then return to its one minute00:23:04
whistle00:23:05
until about 20 minutes in when the00:23:08
whistles got shorter and closer together00:23:11
only to return to the original pattern00:23:13
after about 10 minutes00:23:16
what was even stranger was that whatever00:23:18
it was00:23:20
was pacing in front of mine and my00:23:21
neighbor's house up until it stopped00:23:24
when it retreated back down the other00:23:26
side of the street as i heard it leave i00:23:29
almost immediately felt the pit in my00:23:31
stomach subside00:23:32
and while i was still confused i decided00:23:35
i should just go to sleep before i00:23:37
scared myself even more00:23:40
so the next day i asked my parents and00:23:42
even some of my friends that live close00:23:45
by if they had ever heard anything like00:23:47
that00:23:48
everyone assumed it was some kind of00:23:50
animal which made me feel a lot better00:23:53
but i wanted a definite answer of what i00:23:56
heard00:23:57
i stayed up for hours that night00:23:59
researching types of animals that were00:24:01
local to my area and the noises they00:24:04
made00:24:05
i didn't find anything that matched00:24:08
this only left me more frustrated that i00:24:11
had no clue what it was00:24:13
so i continued staying up in hopes that00:24:16
i would hear it again and that this time00:24:18
i would look out my window to see it00:24:21
but with my luck00:24:22
i've never heard the whistling again00:24:25
except lots of weird things have been00:24:27
happening00:24:28
after the whistle i began hearing00:24:30
somebody or something00:24:33
walking around in mine in my neighbor's00:24:35
driveways00:24:36
and sometimes even yards very late at00:24:39
night00:24:40
but whenever i go to check i can't see00:24:42
anything00:24:44
then about two nights ago i swear i saw00:24:47
a figure of a person lurking behind my00:24:49
neighbor's car00:24:51
and then the night after that00:24:53
i saw what looked like a flashlight in00:24:55
the woods near my house00:24:57
and whatever was holding that flashlight00:24:59
was running out of the woods00:25:02
then again last night i swear i saw a00:25:04
person crouching near my neighbor's car00:25:08
just looking around00:25:10
i thought i was done researching because00:25:12
i couldn't find anything about animals00:25:14
but now i've begun researching any00:25:16
stories even similar to mine00:25:19
hoping that either i'm not alone or even00:25:22
better somebody has the answer to the00:25:24
strange occurrences going on00:25:27
because i would like to start sleeping00:25:29
at more normal times again00:25:31
and not have to be worried about either00:25:32
a stalker or a poltergeist00:25:35
or something else00:25:37
coming to get me in my sleep00:25:46
so00:25:56
i have two stories to share00:25:59
let me first start by explaining why00:26:02
most corner rooms in hotels are always00:26:05
the most haunted places00:26:08
in my culture we believe that corner00:26:10
rooms must be avoided in any hotels00:26:13
due to the fact that it's the least00:26:15
populated or visited area by humans00:26:19
since they don't walk toward the end of00:26:20
the hallway often00:26:22
thus spirits can have that space to00:26:25
themselves without much disturbance00:26:28
starting with my personal story00:26:31
back in 201700:26:33
my mother and i visited korea and went00:26:35
to jeju island we stayed in a pretty new00:26:39
hotel it was spacious and big00:26:42
and the price was rather cheap for a00:26:44
four-star hotel00:26:46
upon our dismay we were allocated the00:26:49
corner room00:26:50
thinking it was a new hotel00:26:52
my mom and i brushed off any unpleasant00:26:55
feelings and checked into our room00:26:58
it was pretty late at night around 11 pm00:27:01
when we checked in00:27:03
in chinese beliefs when checking into a00:27:05
hotel room you always knock on the door00:27:08
and politely tell any spirits inside00:27:11
that you're merely staying for a few00:27:13
days and won't disturb them00:27:15
flush the toilet immediately upon00:27:17
entering and also place your shoes in a00:27:20
somewhat messy manner00:27:22
we did everything00:27:23
however upon entering the room we felt00:27:26
really drained and uncomfortable00:27:29
we received two keys in a card format00:27:32
one for electrical usage in the room and00:27:34
one for the door key00:27:36
my mother put the card on the table and00:27:39
we started unpacking00:27:41
to our horror after unpacking and00:27:43
wanting to go to the convenience store00:27:45
to buy some snacks00:27:47
the keys had disappeared and were not on00:27:48
the table anymore00:27:50
my mother immediately started blaming me00:27:52
for misplacing them and we spent a good00:27:55
20 to 30 minutes arguing while flipping00:27:57
the whole room over for the key00:28:00
when we were about to give up the keys00:28:02
sort of magically appeared at the same00:28:05
spot on the table again00:28:07
there's no way we would have missed it00:28:09
it was right smack dab in the middle of00:28:11
the table in front of us00:28:13
also we realized that the beverages in00:28:15
the fridge were all half drank00:28:18
not sure if the hotel staff just didn't00:28:20
change it or if it was something00:28:22
supernatural00:28:23
but it's worth mentioning00:28:25
the feeling in the room was still00:28:27
particularly ominous00:28:29
so we decided to check out00:28:32
i called the receptionist hotline with00:28:34
the phone provided by them in the room00:28:37
but all i heard was static00:28:39
in the end we packed everything and went00:28:41
down to the reception to request a room00:28:43
change00:28:44
the next room we checked into didn't00:28:46
have any heavy or ominous feelings00:28:49
and we had a good and comfortable stay00:28:52
overall00:28:53
the next story is my friends we'll call00:28:56
her giselle00:28:58
giselle went to perth on a school trip00:29:01
and was paired with lindy to be her00:29:03
hotel roommate00:29:04
unfortunately they got the corner room00:29:08
giselle was strongly against this as her00:29:10
dad is a medium and had always advised00:29:13
her to stay away from corner rooms or if00:29:16
the room made her feel uncomfortable00:29:17
regardless of where it was00:29:20
she immediately felt cold and00:29:22
uncomfortable in the room upon entering00:29:24
it00:29:25
but she tried her best to shrug it off00:29:28
giselle and lindy turned on the tv00:29:32
the only thing that came up on every00:29:34
single channel00:29:35
was horror shows00:29:37
they started to feel a little bit00:29:39
creeped out because no matter how many00:29:41
channels they changed it was always00:29:43
horror shows or previews00:29:46
what broke the camel's back was when00:29:48
they checked on their water supply00:29:51
they all received a full water bottle00:29:52
from their school since they had to00:29:54
compete in a choir competition00:29:56
it was essential to finish the water at00:29:59
designated timings00:30:01
the water bottle only had half the water00:30:03
left00:30:04
neither of them had touched or drank any00:30:06
of the water but it was only half filled00:30:09
for both bottles00:30:11
they were 100 sure and adamant that they00:30:14
received a full bottle of water00:30:16
they were unable to change rooms despite00:30:19
telling their teacher in charge what00:30:21
happened so they packed up all their00:30:23
stuff and crashed in other people's00:30:25
rooms00:30:43
i lived in salt lake utah over the span00:30:46
of about four years00:30:48
i lived there in 1981 then again in 199300:30:52
in 2002 and 2006.00:30:56
the east now central part of the city00:30:59
used to have a major train junction all00:31:02
sorts of tracks coming together00:31:05
side tracks where they would group00:31:07
trains together00:31:09
at this junction were two large train00:31:11
depots00:31:13
union train depot to the north at about00:31:16
200 west and 100 south00:31:19
and the rio grande depot at about 50000:31:22
south and 400 west00:31:24
union is now a large event center that00:31:26
holds rock bands conventions and things00:31:29
like that00:31:31
rio grande station is still there and00:31:33
actually is a museum and amtrak depot00:31:36
amtrak still stops there daily00:31:40
sundays are very boring in salt lake00:31:42
city a lot of businesses are closed down00:31:45
and there's not much going on unless you00:31:47
want to go to church00:31:49
well i had left the mormon church by00:31:51
then 2006 so i was on my way to00:31:54
crossroads mall which had an open food00:31:57
court on sundays00:31:58
they had air conditioning and plenty of00:32:00
parking i had no ac in my small00:32:03
apartment which was super hot and muggy00:32:06
so i decided to go to the mall to get00:32:08
something to eat and eat in their00:32:10
air-conditioned surroundings00:32:12
lots of young people would go there on00:32:14
sunday to socialize with each other and00:32:16
enjoy the coolness00:32:18
in its place today is city creek mall00:32:21
anyway i go to the mall and find that00:32:24
it's closed for the day for renovations00:32:27
so i drive over to the gateway mall just00:32:29
a few blocks to the east00:32:32
the gateway mall was an outdoor mall00:32:34
built over the many train tracks which00:32:36
used to be just to the east of union00:32:38
station00:32:39
gateway mall was not indoor but it was00:32:43
also not particularly large00:32:45
i was hoping to find some food court00:32:47
open but no such luck00:32:50
gateway mall was heavily mormon owned00:32:52
and everything looked closed00:32:55
finally i was driving north on 200 west00:32:57
street up toward union station which was00:33:00
now a convention and event center00:33:03
and i see a little woman in full makeup00:33:06
in a huge white wedding dress standing00:33:09
on the northwest corner of 400 west and00:33:12
100 south00:33:13
holding a bouquet of flowers looking at00:33:16
me00:33:18
i slow down and look at her00:33:21
the dress appears to00:33:22
shine i thought oh having a sunday00:33:26
wedding00:33:28
i look around and00:33:30
notice nobody around her00:33:32
no photographer no groom00:33:34
no bridesmaids00:33:36
strange i thought00:33:38
i drive past her and look at union00:33:40
station figuring that they're holding a00:33:42
wedding there00:33:44
but it was closed00:33:46
nobody around00:33:47
so i turn around and drive back to get a00:33:50
better look00:33:51
she turned her head and started staring00:33:53
at me again00:33:55
still holding the flowers00:33:57
the dress looked very old-fashioned and00:33:59
it was massive00:34:01
i figured it was some kind of magazine00:34:04
shoot but again there was nobody there00:34:06
just her00:34:08
i thought maybe it was a wedding store00:34:10
advertisement but00:34:12
i turned east and looked for a wedding00:34:14
store00:34:15
nothing there00:34:17
i drove all over the streets on that00:34:19
outside mall and couldn't find a single00:34:22
wedding store nothing00:34:24
so i went back to where she was standing00:34:26
and she was gone00:34:29
i drove over and looked down that street00:34:32
and the only street that she could have00:34:34
walked up or down and she was nowhere00:34:37
nothing was open and nobody was around00:34:40
she just vanished00:34:42
i don't know how she could have gotten00:34:44
anywhere that fast00:34:45
especially with that dress many years00:34:48
later i think in 201600:34:51
i was doing research about haunted00:34:53
houses in various cities00:34:55
and i checked out the haunted houses in00:34:57
salt lake city00:34:59
boom00:35:00
i found a story about the ghost bride of00:35:03
salt lake00:35:04
apparently from what i read00:35:07
around the year 1912 or so00:35:09
a man and a woman get married and they00:35:12
plan to take a train from salt lake city00:35:14
to wherever they were going to go on00:35:16
their honeymoon00:35:18
the wife in the groom got into some sort00:35:20
of an argument and the wife took her00:35:22
ring off and threw it over on the train00:35:24
tracks she was still in her wedding00:35:26
dress00:35:27
upset at what she'd done she rushed over00:35:30
to the tracks to retrieve her ring00:35:32
and was struck and killed by the00:35:34
oncoming train00:35:36
since then the bride has been seen a00:35:38
number of times on or near the train00:35:40
tracks00:35:41
or even in other parts of salt lake city00:35:44
for example walking along the freeway00:35:46
late at night00:35:48
i saw her in full daylight00:35:50
there were no train tracks near here00:35:52
when i saw her but long ago00:35:54
even before gateway mall was built00:35:57
she would have been about a half a block00:35:58
away from the main train track maybe00:36:01
even closer00:36:03
so either that was the ghost of the00:36:05
jilted bride who was killed by the train00:36:07
in her wedding dress still awaiting her00:36:10
new husband's arrival so they could go00:36:12
off on their honeymoon00:36:14
or it was something else i can't explain00:36:18
i can't imagine00:36:19
still waiting after over a hundred years00:36:22
still waiting00:36:24
maybe she thought i was him00:36:26
maybe that's why she was staring at me00:36:28
so intently00:36:47
my family and i live in brazil in the00:36:49
city of belem00:36:51
a city that is known for its00:36:53
supernatural activity00:36:56
it was in the 70s00:36:58
my great-grandmother on my mother's side00:37:00
whom we call maria00:37:02
was a very rich person00:37:04
she lived in a mansion with her husband00:37:06
and sons and daughter00:37:09
since the house was so big she had a few00:37:11
people who worked in the house00:37:13
a few gardeners a chef a couple of maids00:37:17
and a few other people00:37:19
among the workers there was a woman who00:37:21
will call beth00:37:24
beth according to my great grandmother00:37:26
was a really nice and pleasant person00:37:30
she had a natural charm about her00:37:32
so much so that a neighbor00:37:35
who we'll call carlos fell madly in love00:37:38
for her00:37:39
as she fell for him as well00:37:41
carlos's mother found out about their00:37:43
relationship and severely disapproved of00:37:46
it she was a terrible bigot00:37:49
as carlos and bess relationships00:37:51
solidified more and more00:37:53
and their engagement became official00:37:56
carlos's mother concocted a terrible00:37:59
plan00:38:00
hell-bent on ending the relationship00:38:03
she invited beth for a tea00:38:06
both had a long conversation00:38:08
and it turned out that carlos mother00:38:11
told a terrible lie to beth00:38:13
she told her that carlos had been00:38:15
unfaithful and had never intended to00:38:17
marry her00:38:19
she relayed the content of the00:38:20
conversation to my great-grandmother as00:38:23
soon as it ended00:38:25
beth driven by intense grief and anguish00:38:28
at the perceived betrayal00:38:30
put on her wedding gown walked to the00:38:32
laundry area of my great-grandmother's00:38:35
house a nice outdoor area of the house00:38:38
doused herself in kerosene and lit her00:38:41
dress on fire00:38:43
safe to say nobody knew what was00:38:45
happening until her blood-curdling00:38:47
screams began00:38:49
every single person in the house ran to00:38:52
help to put the fire out and call00:38:53
emergency00:38:55
attempting to save beth's life00:38:57
they managed to put out the fire but00:39:00
beth's entire body was burned in the00:39:02
process00:39:03
pieces of fabric were melded into her00:39:05
skin due to the intense heat00:39:08
she was in unimaginable pain00:39:11
the ambulance arrived as she blacked out00:39:15
my great-grandmother was in intense00:39:17
shock from seeing a friend commit such a00:39:19
horrible action against herself00:39:22
she was not able to accompany beth to00:39:24
the hospital so she stayed at home00:39:26
anxiously waiting for news on beth's00:39:28
condition00:39:30
getting tired of staying by the phone00:39:33
she excused herself to the bathroom to00:39:34
take a shower00:39:36
as she was on her stairs to go to her00:39:39
personal bathroom00:39:40
she starts to hear blood curdling00:39:42
screams00:39:43
terrible anguishing screams00:39:46
calling out her name00:39:48
according to her it came from nowhere00:39:51
and everywhere at the same time00:39:54
my grandmother stood frozen in intense00:39:57
shock and fear00:39:59
not knowing whether she should run or00:40:01
cower in fear00:40:03
once a few terrifying minutes went by00:40:06
she started screaming for it to stop00:40:08
while clutching her head but the00:40:11
screaming would not stop00:40:13
so inexplicably she screams00:40:16
please beth stop00:40:19
as soon as those words came out of her00:40:21
mouth the screams stopped she remained00:40:24
frozen sitting in abject terror on the00:40:27
stairs00:40:28
until she heard her telephone ringing00:40:31
she ran to the phone and picked it up00:40:33
it was her husband my great-grandfather00:40:36
calling from the hospital he called to00:40:38
regretfully tell my great-grandmother00:40:41
that beth had just passed away from her00:40:43
injuries00:40:44
my great-grandmother had a mental00:40:46
breakdown due to the stress of00:40:48
everything that had happened00:40:49
and had to move out of her house for a00:40:51
long time to try healing her psyche from00:40:54
such terrible events00:40:57
fast forward decades later in 200300:41:00
i was a child eight years old at the00:41:02
time my sister was six00:41:05
my family still lives in the same house00:41:08
that the terrible event happened in00:41:10
we were playing in our pool with my00:41:12
mother and everything was fine00:41:15
until my little sister started staring00:41:18
at the doorway that leads to the laundry00:41:20
area of the house00:41:22
she kept staring at it for a few minutes00:41:24
until my mother noticed and grew00:41:26
concerned00:41:27
she asked my sister what she was staring00:41:29
so intently at00:41:31
my sister replied00:41:33
at the bride00:41:34
she's pretty and she's smiling at me00:41:38
my mother turned white as chalk and00:41:40
grabbed us and ran toward our section of00:41:42
the house00:41:44
later i asked her why she had acted so00:41:47
strangely00:41:48
and she told me this story00:41:50
just as i have told you00:42:09
so the other night my friends and i were00:42:11
drinking and we stumbled into the realm00:42:14
of scary stories00:42:16
every single one of us has had a00:42:18
paranormal experience except this one00:42:20
friend d00:42:22
he doesn't really believe in00:42:23
supernatural stuff but he still told us00:42:26
this story of one of his friends that00:42:27
he's known since middle school00:42:30
i'm just gonna tell it like he did00:42:33
my friend is an avid tinder user00:42:36
he goes on a lot of dates and this one00:42:38
time he was chatting with a girl very00:42:40
shy but cute and all so they finally00:42:43
meet and she's okay00:42:45
they have a lot in common and they have00:42:47
a good time00:42:49
however the girl seems to be00:42:50
increasingly nervous as time goes by00:42:54
finally they're about to say their00:42:55
goodbyes and she says something along00:42:58
the lines of not wanting to go home00:43:01
when my friend asks why00:43:03
she replies it's because her new house00:43:05
is really scary00:43:07
and being honest she would be grateful00:43:10
to get my friend to sleep over just so00:43:12
she could feel more at ease00:43:14
my friend thought yeah sure we'll sleep00:43:18
she clarified soon enough that she00:43:20
actually didn't want to have sex and my00:43:22
friend was fine with that too00:43:24
he drove them to the girl's house00:43:26
and it is kind of creepy00:43:28
he feels a little uneasy but not enough00:43:31
to prevent them from making out a little00:43:34
they slept on the same bed and at some00:43:36
point in the night my friend wakes up to00:43:38
go to the bathroom which was a hallway00:43:40
away from the main bedroom00:43:43
he goes and does his business and when00:43:45
he comes out he sees a dark figure00:43:48
standing in the dark00:43:50
for a second he thinks it's the girl and00:43:52
calls her name the figure moves and00:43:55
starts walking the opposite direction00:43:58
and it's definitely not the girl00:44:01
he bolts to the bedroom scared to death00:44:04
and00:44:05
that's when he realizes that the girl00:44:07
isn't in bed00:44:09
in fact there's no trace of her00:44:12
he looks up and down from the bathroom00:44:14
to the kitchen00:44:16
and she's just not there00:44:18
nor did it seem like she was ever there00:44:20
to begin with he took his things from00:44:23
the bedroom and escaped the house as00:44:25
fast as he could00:44:26
driving aimlessly around for about 3000:44:29
minutes until he could calm down a00:44:30
little00:44:31
and then he drove home00:44:34
when he finished telling the story we00:44:36
asked if the tinder profile still00:44:37
existed after the girl mysteriously00:44:39
disappeared00:44:41
and dee says he doesn't think so but00:44:43
he's not certain00:44:45
it seems a little bit fictitious but00:44:47
dee's friend swears by it00:44:49
and at the moment it seemed pretty00:44:51
creepy to me00:44:53
this friend isn't one to make up stories00:44:56
or pull pranks00:44:57
which is the only reason that dee even00:44:59
almost believed him to begin with00:45:18
i personally don't believe in ghosts00:45:22
nonetheless i am very interested in00:45:24
paranormal stuff00:45:26
mostly because i enjoy a good horror00:45:28
story00:45:30
everyone experiences something creepy00:45:32
now and then and even though i am a00:45:35
large skeptic00:45:36
i too have found myself in some00:45:38
situations that creeped me out a bit00:45:42
in the end i always found a satisfying00:45:44
explanation for what i encountered00:45:47
and then i probably just forget that it00:45:49
ever happened00:45:51
or i remember it and just find it funny00:45:54
because of how silly i was for being so00:45:56
scared00:45:57
most people experience their creepy00:45:59
stories at night00:46:01
which is no big surprise because it's00:46:03
just natural to be more aware at that00:46:05
time00:46:07
we tend to feel more vulnerable in the00:46:09
darkness00:46:10
our eyesight is no more reliable which00:46:13
leads to the fact that sudden sounds or00:46:15
noises00:46:17
can't be easily explained00:46:19
this leads me to some very strange00:46:21
encounters that i experienced in the00:46:23
middle of the day on a crowded street00:46:27
it was may the weather was very pleasant00:46:29
and warm00:46:30
the local city marathon took place that00:46:33
day in which some of my mother's00:46:34
co-workers took part00:46:36
so she took me with her to cheer them on00:46:40
while the running track led around the00:46:42
inner districts of our city00:46:44
we took shortcuts to get to the00:46:45
checkpoints in time00:46:48
after a while we crossed a bridge which00:46:50
ended at an intersection00:46:53
you could say there was quite a lot of00:46:54
traffic that day00:46:56
and many other pedestrians and00:46:58
spectators of the marathon were crowding00:47:00
the street00:47:02
as we waited for the pedestrian lights00:47:04
to turn green00:47:06
i looked at the ground and my mother was00:47:08
holding my hand i was around 11 years00:47:11
old00:47:12
the sidewalk was very crowded so there00:47:15
was hardly any space for everyone00:47:18
i looked at my shoes00:47:20
and then on the shoes of the other00:47:21
pedestrians00:47:23
all of them were pointing to the street00:47:25
that they were just about to cross in a00:47:26
minute00:47:28
when i looked up again a young woman was00:47:30
standing right in front of me00:47:32
looking at me and moving her lips00:47:35
whispering strangely with tears in her00:47:37
eyes00:47:39
she was standing so close that i would00:47:41
have touched her if i had just reached00:47:43
out my index finger toward her00:47:46
i looked around but nobody showed any00:47:48
kind of reaction00:47:50
not even my mother who was always very00:47:53
cautious and sometimes even snapped at00:47:56
me when i just looked at weird people on00:47:58
the street00:48:00
it felt like no one else but me saw this00:48:02
strange woman00:48:04
i'll never forget what she looked like00:48:07
she was very skinny00:48:09
her skin was pale dry and kind of dirty00:48:13
just like her clothes00:48:15
she wore a beige worn out cardigan00:48:17
a long skirt00:48:19
and damaged leather shoes00:48:22
her hair was light brown and short chin00:48:25
length00:48:26
and like the rest of her skin00:48:28
her lips were very dry00:48:30
yellowish chunks of skin stood off of00:48:33
them as they moved while she was00:48:34
whispering straight into my face00:48:37
i couldn't hear what she was saying00:48:40
she was probably only moving her lips00:48:42
but i really can't tell what exactly was00:48:44
going on there00:48:46
i couldn't look away and i was so in00:48:49
shock that i couldn't even say anything00:48:52
when the pedestrian lights finally00:48:53
turned green00:48:55
everyone moved forward00:48:57
the woman stepped aside00:48:59
and i guess she just stayed there on the00:49:00
sidewalk00:49:02
i didn't see her crossing the street00:49:04
with us00:49:05
and when i turned around on the other00:49:06
side00:49:08
she was gone00:49:09
how did she even get there00:49:12
in the middle of the bridge was a lane00:49:14
of traffic00:49:15
you couldn't access the bridge from any00:49:17
other side00:49:18
because on both the left and the right00:49:20
was quite a large riverbank with bushes00:49:24
it puzzles me to this day00:49:26
this woman looked as if she'd been00:49:28
falling into muddy water and had let her00:49:30
clothes just dry onto her body00:49:33
a few years later i tried to find out if00:49:35
this bridge with the river underneath it00:49:37
was a common spot to jump off or if00:49:41
something tragic had happened there but00:49:44
in my country it's nearly impossible to00:49:46
get public access to that kind of00:49:47
information00:49:49
as a skeptic i don't believe she was a00:49:51
ghost00:49:52
it's more likely for her to be a00:49:54
deranged person roaming the streets00:49:57
but i don't understand why everybody00:49:58
acted as if nobody was there00:50:01
even my mother looked over to me during00:50:03
the incident and didn't seem to mind at00:50:05
all00:50:06
i wish i knew who this woman was and if00:50:09
she needed help00:50:10
and if she did why would she talk to a00:50:13
little kid00:50:14
instead of an adult00:50:33
my partner and i have recently moved00:50:35
into a new house which i love and am00:50:37
happy to be in00:50:39
but some curious things have happened00:50:41
that i can't really find an explanation00:50:43
for00:50:45
last night however was the most bizarre00:50:48
the original house was built in 194200:50:52
and we highly suspect that half of it00:50:54
was added on later because it doesn't00:50:56
quite fit the rest of the house00:50:58
my partner a sincere skeptic00:51:01
noticed this from the architecture00:51:04
but i can sort of feel it in the energy00:51:06
of the house the newer front area a00:51:09
combined living room kitchen and00:51:11
bathroom feels very calm and welcoming00:51:14
while the older back of the house a00:51:17
master bedroom bathroom office and00:51:20
sunroom00:51:21
is darker00:51:22
and sometimes uncomfortable for me to be00:51:24
in from time to time00:51:27
the air feels heavier to me00:51:29
and seems to put off a lot of static00:51:32
that i can feel under my feet00:51:34
though to be fair i do spend less time00:51:37
in that part of the house00:51:39
so this sense of unrest could be due to00:51:41
that i suppose00:51:43
the bathroom in the master bedroom is00:51:45
the oddest place for me00:51:47
there is a small door in the ceiling00:51:49
that leads to the attic00:51:50
and for whatever reason00:51:52
it particularly draws my attention00:51:56
also the door to the bathroom has a00:51:58
tendency to swing open when it's ajar00:52:00
but i'm aware that that could be a draft00:52:03
we also tend to hear a lot of noises at00:52:06
night00:52:07
but again00:52:08
this could easily be dismissed by a00:52:10
draft and the fact that it is a fairly00:52:12
old house00:52:15
the first strange thing to happen i was00:52:18
laying in bed half asleep00:52:20
and suddenly a glass water bottle fell00:52:23
over and rolled across the floor00:52:25
my partner and i were both startled and00:52:27
he immediately yelled out who is it00:52:30
who's there00:52:31
in his sleep00:52:33
then laid back down and has no00:52:35
recollection of this00:52:37
it was about four feet from the bed so00:52:39
there's no way i could have knocked it00:52:41
over00:52:42
and like i said i wasn't completely00:52:44
asleep yet when this happened00:52:47
i remember laying completely still00:52:49
on my stomach with my knees facing the00:52:52
direction away from the bottle00:52:54
there were several things between me and00:52:56
it that would have been knocked down as00:52:58
well had it been me00:53:01
last night i was having an excruciating00:53:03
time falling asleep with just a general00:53:06
sense of unrest despite how exhausted i00:53:09
was00:53:10
finally when i did fall asleep i had a00:53:13
nightmare that there was a woman walking00:53:15
through our house00:53:17
she was inhumanly old with a severe00:53:20
hunched back00:53:22
and a shuffling walk00:53:24
the most unsettling part though was that00:53:27
she had her arm outstretched in front of00:53:29
her00:53:30
and in the center of her palm she was00:53:32
holding her own eye00:53:34
she stopped directly in front of the00:53:36
door to our bedroom and peered sideways00:53:39
at me00:53:40
both with her head and the eye in her00:53:42
hand00:53:44
i woke with a violent start and knocked00:53:46
the remote off the bed which was pretty00:53:48
loud00:53:50
my partner began to sleep talk and we00:53:52
had a conversation00:53:54
he said is she here00:53:57
i said is who here00:54:00
he said the woman00:54:02
what woman what are you talking about00:54:05
the woman from your dream he said00:54:09
i said how did you know i was dreaming00:54:12
about a woman00:54:13
it's okay go go back to sleep00:54:16
he said is the woman here00:54:20
at which point i began to rub his back00:54:22
and just tried to get him to stop00:54:24
talking00:54:25
he said several other things in his00:54:27
sleep and was very restless tossing and00:54:29
turning and moaning all night00:54:32
as soon as i woke up this morning i00:54:34
asked him about it and again he has no00:54:36
recollection of talking in his sleep or00:54:38
of anything happening00:54:41
although he says he doesn't feel rested00:54:43
at all00:54:44
and can tell that he must have slept00:54:46
poorly00:54:48
i know some people are going to say he00:54:49
was just screwing with me00:54:51
but he's not that kind of person00:54:53
anyway he's a devout skeptic who00:54:55
respects my belief and attached energies00:54:58
and the paranormal but doesn't share00:55:00
those beliefs himself00:55:02
he would have no reason to pull a trick00:55:04
on me like that00:55:06
more importantly00:55:07
how would he have even known that i was00:55:10
dreaming about a woman00:55:29
i'm a 23 year old boy whose family moved00:55:32
during the yugoslavian war in 199900:55:36
from eastern serbia to switzerland00:55:39
we used to live in a small village00:55:41
across the danube at the bulgarian and00:55:44
romanian border a region that has a very00:55:47
colorful history00:55:50
many bloody historic events occurred on00:55:52
the soil where we lived00:55:55
roman emperors used to rule this area as00:55:58
well as many historical figures such as00:56:00
attila the hun alexander the great vlad00:56:04
the impaler and others00:56:06
they were all ones residing here and00:56:09
fighting battles00:56:11
the region has been occupied many times00:56:14
the longest used to be under the00:56:16
ottomans00:56:17
this occupation lasted for almost three00:56:20
centuries00:56:22
after the ottoman occupation the country00:56:25
didn't have much time to recover00:56:27
and the first and second world wars had00:56:29
struck the country already00:56:32
many people died during the first world00:56:34
war about a third of the population00:56:37
as a result guerrilla groups were formed00:56:40
killing even more people00:56:42
in conclusion many people were00:56:44
unjustifiably tortured and lost their00:56:47
lives which is probably why there are00:56:49
many occurrences of the paranormal here00:56:52
magic is also very common here00:56:56
the so-called block magic or vlaska00:56:58
magia in vallation is said to be one of00:57:02
the strongest in the world00:57:03
and many people tend to practice sit and00:57:06
religiously believe in it00:57:08
as a result there are many stories about00:57:11
paranormal events00:57:13
one of my favorites was a story my00:57:16
grandfather told me00:57:18
he grew up in the forest00:57:20
in a small and old house that was about00:57:22
300 years old00:57:24
he was adopted by my great grandfather00:57:27
he used to be a leader in one of the00:57:29
upcoming resistance movements against00:57:31
the socialist regime after the second00:57:33
world war00:57:34
he fought in both world wars and even00:57:37
with all this he took great care of my00:57:39
grandfather and loved him as if it was00:57:41
his own child00:57:44
50 years passed since he left his home00:57:46
and all of those people living here died00:57:49
but my grandpa still visits the house00:57:51
and stays overnight here this place00:57:54
creeps me out even during the day00:57:56
there's an aura to this place that just00:57:59
makes it uncomfortable to be here00:58:02
i can't imagine staying here overnight00:58:05
but he frequently does and one day he00:58:07
told me a very weird story00:58:10
while he stays there he gets visited00:58:12
often at first i thought visits like the00:58:15
one you get from neighbors or something00:58:18
but he told me that one night he woke up00:58:20
to a hand crawling on his head00:58:23
it was a huge white pale man00:58:26
kneeling next to him00:58:28
using his hand to just crawl across his00:58:31
head00:58:32
speaking with a calm voice in vlasky the00:58:35
dying language that we used to speak00:58:37
here a mix of moldavian and romanian00:58:42
he told me that his skin was white and00:58:44
that it was glowing in the night00:58:47
he didn't have any hair00:58:49
and the hand felt very soft00:58:52
my grandfather always respected the dead00:58:55
and was never really afraid00:58:58
he told me that he didn't really speak00:58:59
to him and just enjoyed his company00:59:03
since he knew in some way that he wasn't00:59:05
evil00:59:07
another time he told me that he used to00:59:09
fix small parts around his house00:59:13
when it started to get dark he slowly00:59:15
began getting ready to leave with his00:59:17
tractor because it takes about an hour00:59:19
to reach the next civilized place00:59:22
while putting stuff back into the barn00:59:24
he heard loud noises in the attic00:59:27
it didn't bother him until a plank was00:59:30
thrown down the stairs00:59:32
he recalled one time they even threw00:59:34
down a rock into the wheelbarrow that he00:59:36
was pushing into the barn00:59:39
he told me he just turned around locked00:59:41
the barn and didn't so much as frown00:59:45
they expect you to react do not give00:59:47
them this pleasure is what he told me00:59:49
while laughing00:59:50
makes him go crazy00:59:53
growing up i heard a lot of these00:59:55
stories and it really runs in our family00:59:58
experiencing from time to time such01:00:00
encounters01:00:02
the scariest thing that happened to me01:00:04
occurred during the summer of 200901:00:07
my grandfather told me during this01:00:09
summer break as usual stories from the01:00:11
past how he used to walk these woods01:00:14
alone in the dark and what he01:00:16
experienced while doing so01:00:18
since i was in my teen years i started01:00:21
to question the reliability of his01:00:23
stories01:00:25
from time to time i took out my old01:00:27
motorcycle01:00:28
and drove out into the forest01:00:31
driving around was the only time i could01:00:33
really think about things you know01:00:36
to be in this type of state that you01:00:38
don't have to question everything and01:00:40
think about the world01:00:42
so one day i took out my bike and01:00:44
decided to drive around01:00:46
i still don't know why or how01:00:49
but somehow i find myself driving to the01:00:52
old house he grew up in01:00:54
i didn't really bother to question why01:00:56
my intention was to drive there so i01:00:58
just kept going01:01:00
i always believed that i was a kid pure01:01:03
by hearth and no evil could come to me01:01:06
while i was driving out i thought about01:01:08
the probabilities of actually01:01:10
encountering a vampire01:01:13
i live as mentioned in east serbia where01:01:16
vampires are very widely believed in01:01:19
my grandpa always told me not to go out01:01:21
past dusk but i didn't really care so i01:01:24
still kept going01:01:26
remembering back i thought that his01:01:28
intention was to keep me scared so i01:01:31
didn't get lost in the woods01:01:33
but being a teenager at the time i01:01:35
thought that i was invincible in fact01:01:38
even a vampire wouldn't cross my path01:01:41
that i would ease pass with him to no01:01:42
harm01:01:43
there aren't really any streets there01:01:45
it's just a dirt road between trees that01:01:48
leads to pretty much nothing01:01:50
after an hour even the dirt road starts01:01:53
to vanish01:01:54
while i was driving and thinking about01:01:56
how strong i was i noticed that my hand01:01:59
felt very wet01:02:01
i thought it was because i was sweating01:02:03
since this region can get very hot01:02:06
after taking a look at my hand i saw01:02:08
that there was blood all over it01:02:11
i thought maybe it was a bug that i had01:02:13
squished it but it was just too much01:02:15
blood01:02:16
so i started to look at my hand for01:02:18
wounds01:02:19
but my hand seemed to be perfectly fine01:02:23
my heart slowly started racing and i01:02:25
took a sharp turn and drove back home01:02:29
i remember this to be the moment that i01:02:31
was the most scared in my entire life i01:02:34
had the urge to look behind me every01:02:36
second that i was driving through the01:02:37
forest01:02:38
it seemed like somebody was sitting01:02:41
behind me01:02:42
just waiting for me to fall down or make01:02:44
a mistake01:02:45
after arriving home and telling my01:02:48
grandpa he just started laughing and01:02:50
told me never to question their01:02:52
abilities again01:02:54
i have a ton of stories regarding these01:02:56
kinds of events01:02:58
also we have a few witches in our family01:03:00
that used to practice black magic01:03:02
it was taught to them by their ancestors01:03:23
i bought a haunted doll on a whim01:03:26
and it's been an interesting week01:03:29
esther which is what the previous owner01:03:31
said her name was has been here since01:03:34
wednesday01:03:35
and we've already had little things01:03:36
happen01:03:38
most notably01:03:40
if we leave the lights on as we leave01:03:42
the house they're off by the time we get01:03:44
home01:03:45
doors that were closed open just01:03:48
slightly as though somebody's peeking01:03:50
inside01:03:52
doors that were open are closed01:03:55
also i've watched a doorknob turn and a01:03:58
door opened twice01:04:00
when i'm fully awake standing at my desk01:04:03
at the time01:04:04
my wife and i will have a lot of01:04:06
conversations along the lines of01:04:09
did you come home during the day01:04:11
nope i've been at work all day01:04:14
okay because i know i left the bathroom01:04:17
light on01:04:18
and the door closed but i came home to01:04:21
the light off and the door open01:04:23
the bedroom door is open too01:04:26
this is notable because we always keep01:04:28
our bedroom door closed01:04:30
we have an old cat that likes to sneak01:04:33
in and do their business under the bed01:04:36
in my office during the winter i run a01:04:38
space heater to keep it warmer for the01:04:40
reptiles01:04:42
i do keep the door ajar so that the cats01:04:44
and dogs can come in and out01:04:47
this morning i most certainly left the01:04:49
door open as there were three cats and a01:04:52
dog in here sleeping01:04:55
when i got up i was asked if i knew that01:04:57
i had trapped three cats and a dog in my01:05:00
office by shutting the door01:05:03
i said i left the door open before i01:05:05
went back to sleep because i knew they01:05:06
were in there oh well the door was open01:05:10
when i got up01:05:12
there's been one instance of are you01:05:14
humming01:05:15
what no01:05:17
well someone's humming01:05:19
we've also had numerous incidents of a01:05:21
light being turned off that we had left01:05:23
on01:05:24
and this morning i woke up to the01:05:26
bedroom ceiling fan being on when it had01:05:29
most certainly been off when i went to01:05:31
sleep01:05:32
it takes the wall switch and pulling the01:05:34
light chain to have it on and01:05:37
well01:05:38
no lights01:05:39
and i'm 100 sure that i didn't do that01:05:42
before i went to sleep01:05:45
nothing scary can't say i've ever felt01:05:47
unsettled by any of the above01:05:49
because i grew up in a house with the01:05:51
ghost of my great grandmother and i'm01:05:53
sort of used to things like that01:05:56
i'm not worried about anything actually01:05:58
scary happening01:05:59
the woman that we got the doll from was01:06:01
very clear that the spirit attached was01:06:04
pretty much nice01:06:05
very motherly01:06:06
which i suppose explains turning off the01:06:09
lights that we leave on01:06:11
apparently it's a middle-aged woman01:06:13
who's really more interested in plants01:06:15
and pets than in causing problems for or01:06:18
scaring or playing tricks on people01:06:21
the worse she does according to the lady01:06:24
who sold her is hum a little random tune01:06:27
and occasionally manifest physically01:06:30
or if you have plants in one area of01:06:32
your house01:06:33
the doll might move to sit near them01:06:35
which i haven't seen but like i said we01:06:37
have heard the humming01:06:39
that's partially why i settled on that01:06:42
one01:06:43
just to err on the side of i don't want01:06:45
a doll moving around the house we have01:06:47
dogs that might mistake it for a toy01:06:50
i put a small succulent garden next to01:06:52
her and i set her near a window where01:06:54
she can see the garden we have in the01:06:56
yard01:06:57
not that it's much of a garden in the01:06:59
middle of winter but you know01:07:02
the most surprising part is that i am01:07:04
completely not creeped out by the doll01:07:07
and dolls usually leave me feeling very01:07:10
unsettled in general01:07:11
haunted or not so far01:07:15
i think we'll keep her01:07:33
this is my story about a haunted doll01:07:36
named claire01:07:37
she's been featured in the book haunted01:07:40
objects stories of ghosts on your01:07:42
shelves01:07:43
on a couple of paranormal podcasts01:07:46
and the tv show haunted towns that aired01:07:49
on destination america back in 2017.01:07:53
you can still catch reruns of the show01:07:55
on travel channel every now and then01:07:58
she was in the season finale featuring01:08:00
mcdonough georgia01:08:03
here's my story01:08:05
as an eight-year-old child i was given01:08:07
an old porcelain doll by a very dear01:08:10
family friend miss marion01:08:13
she was all the time coming across01:08:15
things and giving them to me this doll01:08:18
was the last thing she gave me01:08:20
i was never really into dolls at all01:08:22
growing up01:08:23
but i took the doll and placed her in my01:08:26
room in a small child-sized rocking01:08:28
chair01:08:29
the chair sat next to my closet and01:08:31
dresser01:08:32
right beside my nightlight01:08:35
the doll was very pretty01:08:37
she was dressed in a peach and cream01:08:38
colored dress with an apron and01:08:40
petticoats01:08:42
she had little black mary jane shoes01:08:45
that when removed showed her delicately01:08:47
painted toenails01:08:49
her body was soft only her head01:08:52
forearms hands and legs from the knee01:08:54
down were porcelain01:08:57
her lips were pink and her dark brown01:08:59
hair hung in slightly frizzed and now01:09:02
loose curls01:09:04
her eyes were brown her cheeks were a01:09:06
rosy peach color all like mine01:09:09
miss marion made a point of saying that01:09:11
the doll reminded her of me01:09:13
which is why she gave her to me01:09:16
from the moment that that doll which i01:09:18
named claire came into my house things01:09:21
began to happen01:09:22
i was always uneasy with claire01:09:25
i never wanted to touch her and when i01:09:28
played in my room it was as if she01:09:30
watched me01:09:31
it wasn't anything to panic about but i01:09:34
do remember feeling like if i did01:09:36
something wrong01:09:38
she might actually tell on me01:09:40
how ridiculous does that sound01:09:43
my first real occurrence that i remember01:09:46
was when i was reading in my room ghost01:09:48
stories actually01:09:50
when a musical carousel horse that sat01:09:52
on my dresser began to play01:09:55
not just a couple of notes like old01:09:57
mechanical music boxes will do from time01:10:00
to time01:10:01
but like somebody just wound it up fully01:10:05
i sat stunned and stared at the little01:10:07
horse01:10:09
as it moved up and down in time with the01:10:11
music01:10:13
then it just stopped01:10:14
it didn't wind down it just01:10:17
stopped01:10:19
i was a pretty brave kid01:10:21
i didn't run and i didn't tell my mom01:10:24
i used to see a shadow man in the01:10:26
hallway or in my parents bedroom door01:10:28
all growing up and if she didn't believe01:10:31
me about that she wouldn't believe me01:10:33
about something as mundane as a music01:10:36
box playing on its own01:10:38
so i just let it go01:10:40
the next thing that happened was the01:10:42
voice01:10:43
for several nights and on into these01:10:46
years i was awoken by what sounded like01:10:48
a woman01:10:49
inches from my face01:10:51
shouting my name01:10:53
jill wake up01:10:55
i would jump up and sit up to find my01:10:58
room empty01:10:59
those happenings died down after a few01:11:02
months01:11:03
she then started to plague my little01:11:05
brother with the same thing01:11:07
and now that he and i are grown and gone01:11:09
she's moved on to my dad the little01:11:12
things started to get to me01:11:15
i'd put something in a certain place01:11:17
only to find it later on on the floor or01:11:20
on my dresser01:11:23
right next to claire01:11:25
all of my missing items eventually01:11:27
turned up around her01:11:30
once a ring ended up in the pocket of01:11:32
her apron01:11:33
books would fall off my shelves and a01:11:36
perfume smell would sometimes fill my01:11:38
room01:11:39
the doll itself didn't smell at all01:11:42
but the air around her would01:11:45
my catalyst to finally getting clear out01:11:47
of my room was the night i woke up after01:11:49
hearing thumping around in my closet01:11:53
i opened my eyes01:11:55
sat up in bed01:11:56
and of course my eyes were drawn to the01:11:58
nightlight01:12:00
where claire sat01:12:02
i realized that it wasn't coming from in01:12:04
the closet but near it01:12:06
as i watched the source of the thumping01:12:10
became clear01:12:11
the rocking chair that claire occupied01:12:14
was rocking on its own01:12:17
i had thick shag carpet so there was no01:12:20
way this thing was just rocking by01:12:22
chance01:12:23
if that wasn't enough01:12:25
claire's feet which were both turned to01:12:27
the side facing opposite each other01:12:30
slowly straightened themselves to both01:12:32
be pointing directly up01:12:35
20 years later01:12:36
this part still freaks me out01:12:39
then she turned her head which was quite01:12:42
impossible to do since it was attached01:12:45
fixed to her cloth body01:12:47
she looked toward me and every music box01:12:51
in my room four of them to be exact01:12:54
started to play all at once01:12:56
i was frozen with fear01:12:59
i didn't feel endangered so much as i01:13:01
just felt scared of what was happening i01:13:04
screamed for my mom and dad01:13:06
the music stopped01:13:08
but claire maintained her gaze in my01:13:10
direction01:13:12
and this is why i hate dolls01:13:15
even after that i couldn't get rid of01:13:17
claire totally01:13:19
i ended up stuffing her in a box in the01:13:21
back of a storage closet01:13:23
she's still there as far as i know01:13:26
so is the woman who now screams my dad's01:13:28
name in the middle of the night01:13:30
while i think she explains some of the01:13:32
oddities that happen in my parents house01:13:35
i don't think she's the tie to all of it01:13:38
especially the shadow man01:13:40
my friend tim weisberg is a paranormal01:13:43
radio and podcast host of the show's01:13:45
spooky south coast and also as an author01:13:49
he asked me to lend him claire once he01:13:51
heard my story back in 201101:13:54
i obliged and claire went to stay with01:13:56
him for a few months01:13:58
he wrote about his experiences with01:14:00
claire while she stayed with him in the01:14:02
book haunted objects that i mentioned01:14:04
earlier01:14:05
temperature changes in the room that she01:14:07
stayed in along with hearing voices were01:14:10
two of his noted encounters01:14:12
claire also stayed briefly at the lizzie01:14:14
borden bed and breakfast in 2012.01:14:18
the guys from the haunted towns show01:14:20
encountered some things in my parents01:14:22
house while claire was with them01:14:41
i was really young when this happened01:14:43
i don't even think i'd started going to01:14:45
school yet01:14:47
i don't remember much about that stage01:14:49
of my life01:14:50
but i still think about this experience01:14:53
to this day01:14:54
it was near christmas and there was a01:14:56
doll that my younger sister and i looked01:14:59
forward to playing with every year01:15:02
it was an angel where if you pressed a01:15:04
button she would sing silent night01:15:07
the thing is though01:15:09
once i was done playing with it i had to01:15:11
return it downstairs01:15:14
my parents eventually realized that we01:15:16
had forgotten to bring it down01:15:18
so i was sent upstairs alone to retrieve01:15:21
it01:15:22
as i went up to my room to get it i01:15:25
heard the doll sing silent night01:15:28
the doll had a history of going off on01:15:30
its own so i thought nothing of it01:15:33
i went up and opened the door01:15:37
my room was completely dark at the time01:15:40
but when the light from the hallway came01:15:41
on it shined on the pitch black figure01:15:45
of a little girl who was playing with01:15:47
the doll01:15:49
the girl immediately turned her eyes on01:15:51
me and i stared back at her01:15:54
shocked01:15:55
my vision blurred and my ears were01:15:58
ringing01:15:59
and the next thing i knew01:16:01
i had to pick myself up from the ground01:16:04
nobody seemed to notice that i hadn't01:16:06
come back downstairs01:16:09
confused and unable to comprehend what01:16:11
had happened01:16:12
i would just go downstairs with the doll01:16:15
seeing as the girl had left01:16:17
i returned the doll and carried on with01:16:19
my day because i had no idea what had01:16:22
happened01:16:24
it wasn't until i looked back on it when01:16:26
i was older01:16:27
that i realized just how terrifying that01:16:30
was01:16:39
so01:16:48
so i know this is really weird but i've01:16:51
always been obsessed with the idea of01:16:53
having a haunted item01:16:55
so i went on ebay and i did a very01:16:58
thorough search of trusted sellers and01:17:01
stores where i might buy haunted items01:17:04
i eventually settled on my doll evelyn01:17:06
because the seller stated that the01:17:08
vessel was inhabited by the spirit of01:17:11
evelyn01:17:12
who died at age 1701:17:14
and had hopes of going to college and01:17:16
being a teacher01:17:18
i felt a connection to her there because01:17:21
i am currently a senior at university01:17:24
and i'm about to start working as an01:17:25
english teacher01:17:27
i hope to read to evelyn often and ask01:17:29
her advice for my lesson plans01:17:32
i even fantasize about giving her a01:17:34
place in the classroom to sit so she can01:17:37
still achieve her dreams01:17:39
update01:17:41
so the first day and night with evelyn01:17:43
and i only have a couple of out of the01:17:45
ordinary things to report01:17:47
first off my cat won't stop rubbing01:17:49
against the doll or sniffing it01:17:51
and secondly i fell asleep last night01:17:54
with my tv on watching south park on01:17:57
hulu which means that my dvd player was01:18:00
also on01:18:01
i woke up at 1am to both of those things01:18:04
being shut off01:18:06
now i know that there's probably a01:18:07
logical explanation for that01:18:10
but honestly i'm kind of hoping it's01:18:12
just her01:18:13
update night two01:18:16
nothing happened last night that i know01:18:18
of except that i woke up at 2 am for no01:18:21
reason but that's becoming typical for01:18:23
me anyway01:18:24
today as i was getting ready for class i01:18:27
turned on a paranormal story time on01:18:29
youtube right after01:18:31
my door that had been shut01:18:33
opened by itself about a quarter of the01:18:36
way my cat and i both shot our heads to the01:18:39
door when that happened to look01:18:41
and i know y'all will probably say i'm01:18:43
stupid for this01:18:44
but i used the ghost radar app and it01:18:47
said that there was an entity01:18:49
right in the direction of where my door01:18:51
is01:18:52
i'll let you know if there are any01:18:54
further updates01:19:12
about a week or so ago i received an01:19:15
elmo doll01:19:16
i was on vacation visiting a few01:19:19
relatives and my 90 year old great aunt01:19:22
gave me this red elmo plush01:19:25
at first everything was normal about it01:19:28
nothing out of the ordinary01:19:30
however the activity began when i01:19:32
returned back home01:19:34
i placed the doll on my bed and lied01:19:37
down to sleep for the night01:19:39
during the night i began to see shadows01:19:41
moving across my room01:19:43
and a feeling that i was being watched01:19:46
of course i at first thought i was just01:19:48
imagining things so i brushed it off01:19:51
the next night however things started to01:19:54
get weird01:19:56
the number of shadows moving around my01:19:58
room increased and i felt like there was01:20:00
something standing over me01:20:02
watching me i put two and two together01:20:05
and grabbed the doll01:20:07
my stomach began to feel nauseous01:20:10
a sense of anxiety filled me when i held01:20:13
the doll and i felt like a negative energy was01:20:15
being transferred into my body01:20:18
i immediately removed the doll from my01:20:20
room and placed it in a different area01:20:22
of the house01:20:23
i told my parents but they just joke01:20:25
about it and think i'm crazy01:20:27
but i swear there's something wrong with01:20:29
this doll01:20:30
and i have no idea how to go about01:20:33
investigating it01:20:51
i bought a little porcelain doll at the01:20:53
salvation army this past weekend01:20:56
i used to collect them as a little girl01:20:59
and it was cheap so why not01:21:02
i wanted something to scare the01:21:03
trick-or-treaters that came into work01:21:06
since i've had the doll i've had a01:21:08
horrible time sleeping01:21:10
my house feels strange and when i'm up01:21:12
at night and alone01:21:14
i feel01:21:15
uneasy01:21:17
i'm sleeping with the covers over my01:21:18
head01:21:19
any small sound makes my heart flip01:21:22
and i can't sleep very well01:21:25
it reminds me of the terrible nights i01:21:27
had sleeping as a child and being afraid01:21:30
even during the day when i'm alone and01:21:33
getting ready for work01:21:34
i feel01:21:36
so off in the house01:21:38
it's been the past few days since i've01:21:40
bought that doll and kept her in the01:21:42
house01:21:43
today i brought her into work01:21:45
and i'm hoping that the strange feelings01:21:46
i have at home will subside01:21:49
maybe i'm just being jumpy since it's01:21:51
halloween01:21:53
but i'm 26 and i haven't had these01:21:55
feelings since i was a child01:21:57
has anybody else had a similar01:22:00
experience01:22:18
when i was younger between the ages of 701:22:21
to 10 i lived in a small house in01:22:23
missouri01:22:25
we lived in a small town01:22:27
nothing was abnormal about the house01:22:30
i mean there were the normal house01:22:32
settling noises which would cause me to01:22:34
have nightmares frequently but nothing01:22:37
else until this incident the only weird01:22:40
thing that had ever happened was our01:22:42
keys had gone missing01:22:44
when he walked in the door there was a01:22:46
giant metal wood stove that we would put01:22:48
our keys on01:22:50
they went missing for weeks we destroyed01:22:53
the house looking for them01:22:55
and one day they just reappeared and01:22:58
nobody knew where they came from01:23:01
anyway there was a doll back when i was01:23:03
younger called an amazing grace doll01:23:06
she had holes in her ears so that she01:23:08
could hear you and she would turn her01:23:11
head to wherever the noise had come from01:23:13
and would say01:23:14
mama01:23:16
well i loved this doll01:23:18
i explicitly remember cleaning my room01:23:21
and propping grace against the wall so01:23:24
she was sitting up01:23:25
i laid down on my bed to read and i01:23:28
heard the clicking she would make when01:23:30
her head turned01:23:31
so i looked up and stared at her and got01:23:34
the normal mama that she would say after01:23:37
she heard something01:23:39
so i tossed my book down and picked her01:23:42
up to make sure that she was turned off01:23:45
she was01:23:46
so i flipped her switch and then flipped01:23:48
it back to off thinking that this was01:23:50
just a normal malfunction01:23:54
i sit her back in her spot and plop down01:23:56
to continue reading01:23:58
it's completely quiet01:24:01
as soon as i start reading01:24:03
i hear the sound of her head moving01:24:05
again and she says01:24:07
mama01:24:08
so i went and took out all of her01:24:10
batteries i was over it at this point so01:24:13
i just kind of tossed her on the ground01:24:16
and got back into my spot01:24:19
that's when she started clicking quicker01:24:21
her head was moving back and forth back01:24:24
and forth01:24:25
and she just kept saying mama01:24:27
mama01:24:28
i took off i ran to get my dad and he01:24:32
saw it and decided that we would burn01:24:33
the little doll01:24:35
we did and nothing happened again to my01:24:38
recollection01:24:39
but my nightmares got worse01:24:42
this was when i was still religious so i01:24:45
would put all my stuffed animals around01:24:47
me in a circle to protect me01:24:49
i had a turquoise dream catcher and i01:24:52
would pray every night for the01:24:53
nightmares to go away01:24:55
they never did until we moved01:24:58
they weren't every day but definitely01:25:00
several times a week01:25:03
regardless i was very glad to get out of01:25:05
that house and away from that doll01:25:26
this happened when i was in the fourth01:25:28
grade during christmas time01:25:30
around 2014.01:25:33
i live in salem oregon which is relevant01:25:35
to the story01:25:37
downtown there's this antique store01:25:39
called the unicorn01:25:41
we went there to get my older brother01:25:43
world war ii stuff for christmas because01:25:45
he likes that kind of thing01:25:48
it's a really big store for an antique01:25:50
shop so like normal kids my brother and01:25:53
i went off to explore01:25:55
around the front of the shop past a01:25:57
couple of bookcases was this kids01:26:00
section01:26:01
it was mostly full with old board games01:26:04
and those tin toys like those red geese01:26:07
with blue hats01:26:09
what i did find was this old doll with a01:26:11
sticker on its face just all dirty and01:26:14
broken01:26:15
it said cursed doll on this piece of01:26:18
paper with a warning sign at the01:26:20
bottom i don't really remember what the01:26:23
warning sign said01:26:25
being 10 years old i just looked at it01:26:27
and called bull01:26:29
and then flicked the glass and told the01:26:31
doll that it needed jesus01:26:34
later that night i went to sleep and had01:26:36
a dream of a green face in a dark01:26:38
background that kept trying to eat me01:26:42
i woke up all gross and sweaty but i01:26:45
realized that the bathroom light was on01:26:48
my room is connected to the bathroom so01:26:50
it's not outside my room in the hallway01:26:53
like in most people's houses01:26:55
so when i woke up i could clearly see01:26:58
the light reflecting off my wall01:27:01
i could hear the light switch being01:27:02
turned on and off but the light was01:27:05
still on01:27:07
eventually the light turned off but the01:27:09
switch kept on flicking01:27:11
then the banging on my wall happened and01:27:13
it lasted for a good two minutes01:27:16
it just kept getting louder and louder01:27:19
and then all i remember is not being01:27:21
able to breathe and passing out01:27:24
when i woke up the next morning i asked01:27:26
my brother why he kept banging on my01:27:28
wall01:27:29
he said that he was at a friend's house01:27:30
last night so he couldn't have banged on01:27:33
the wall01:27:34
that scared the crap out of me01:27:37
i told my dad what happened and he01:27:39
believes that i pissed off whatever01:27:41
possessed that doll or made it cursed01:27:45
i don't really mess with that stuff01:27:46
anymore01:27:47
but cool story i guess01:28:07
my uncle was such a sweet guy that for01:28:09
my 18th birthday he gifted me with a01:28:12
creepy but adorable porcelain clown01:28:15
sitting on a swing01:28:17
it had two red dots on the cheeks01:28:20
a red nose01:28:21
a frilly costume and white gloves01:28:25
it had a pointed hat and brown curly01:28:28
hair01:28:29
what he didn't know was that i had an01:28:31
extreme fear of clowns and i still do01:28:34
i accepted it anyway because it was such01:28:37
a sweet gift01:28:39
i hung it up on my curtain rod kind of01:28:41
proud that he had even thought of me at01:28:43
all01:28:44
because it was rare that he gave me01:28:45
presents01:28:47
the first week was fine but after that01:28:50
weird things began to happen01:28:52
i started to grow creeped out by this01:28:54
doll to the point where i wouldn't even01:28:56
get dressed in my own room01:28:58
there were a few times where it would01:28:59
swing on its own01:29:02
i never opened my window so i know that01:29:05
it wasn't the wind and it wouldn't have01:29:07
been able to swing without some sort of01:29:09
force01:29:10
several times i would walk out of the01:29:12
room and come back in01:29:14
to find that the head had twisted to01:29:16
look outside my door01:29:18
for a long time i thought it was my01:29:20
family members playing a joke on me01:29:23
because they knew that i didn't like01:29:25
clowns so i just grinned and put up with01:29:27
it01:29:28
i also locked my door from the inside01:29:31
with one of those bolt locks just in01:29:33
case01:29:34
i did this for a couple of months01:29:37
one morning it was taken too far and it01:29:40
was the last straw for me01:29:43
i woke up and hit something with my hand01:29:46
i turned my head to come face to face01:29:48
with the clown doll01:29:50
i looked at the curtain rod but it01:29:52
definitely was not there01:29:54
the only way it could have been brought01:29:56
down was if you lifted the rod and took01:29:59
the doll off by the swing ring01:30:02
i know for a fact that my family didn't01:30:04
do it01:30:05
because my bedroom door was still bolted01:30:08
shut01:30:09
i had had enough and i took the doll and01:30:11
threw it in the big bin01:30:13
and then put it on the verge for the bin01:30:15
man to come that day01:30:17
i told my uncle that i had accidentally01:30:19
broken it when i was putting it away to01:30:21
paint my room01:30:23
i actually regret doing that01:30:25
i kind of wish i had kept it01:30:27
i was creeped out by stuff like that01:30:29
when i was younger but now01:30:32
i love haunted stuff and creepy things01:30:35
i kind of wish i had it hanging in my01:30:37
house01:30:54
when i was about eight or nine my entire01:30:57
family went to a quinceanera01:31:00
i guess we were good enough friends with01:31:02
the birthday girl that we received the01:31:04
quincea doll which is basically meant to01:31:06
look like the birthday girl01:31:08
to give you an image of what it looked01:31:10
like imagine a doll with a white dress01:31:13
and curly hair01:31:15
we kept it in the living room where i01:31:17
slept on the floor which is another01:31:19
story01:31:20
and my brothers and i always had some01:31:23
weird feeling about it like it was01:31:25
watching us01:31:27
i'd say around three to four months of01:31:29
it being in the living room is when i01:31:31
started to notice weird things happen in01:31:33
not only the living room but also in01:31:36
both of my brother's rooms01:31:39
i'll start with my experiences first01:31:42
like i mentioned before i used to sleep01:31:44
in the living room01:31:46
i would lay down near my parents door01:31:49
and i would start to hear the strangest01:31:51
noises coming from near the tv01:31:54
or near the small cabinet that we put01:31:56
the doll on display01:31:58
from hearing things in the kitchen fall01:32:00
on the floor01:32:01
to hearing a little girl laugh on the01:32:03
couch01:32:04
a lot of weird things started to happen01:32:07
i pretty much tried to ignore all of01:32:09
this with tears in my eyes doing what01:32:12
kids do when they're scared01:32:15
i covered myself with a blanket01:32:17
but one experience will forever haunt me01:32:20
and i still get chills thinking about it01:32:24
i was crying one night for lord knows01:32:26
what01:32:27
my brother tells me it's because i was01:32:30
claiming i heard voices near my ear01:32:33
my parents didn't believe me and told me01:32:35
that i was delusional01:32:37
he invited me into his room to sleep01:32:40
and i jumped at the opportunity01:32:43
just before entering his room i went to01:32:45
the restroom01:32:47
it's literally right next to my01:32:49
brother's room01:32:51
while i was in there i felt someone's01:32:53
hand right on my shoulder01:32:56
i immediately turned around and get01:32:58
freaked out01:32:59
i hurried up and got out of there01:33:02
but that wasn't the worst thing01:33:04
i entered his room and slept on his bed01:33:07
while he just played on the ps301:33:10
i slept from maybe around 20ish minutes01:33:13
to 30 before waking up to him coming in01:33:16
the room with food01:33:18
i kid you not the moment he sat down the01:33:22
closet door swung open with enough force01:33:24
to hit the wall01:33:26
we looked at each other in disbelief01:33:28
about what we just saw01:33:30
my dad bursts in to ask what the hell01:33:32
was going on01:33:34
we tried explaining it to him but he01:33:36
just shook it off and told us to go back01:33:38
to sleep01:33:40
he walked out of the room and my brother01:33:42
continued to play01:33:44
we were trying our best not to talk01:33:46
about it01:33:47
when we hear the toilet just flush on01:33:49
its own01:33:50
along with the shower curtain moving01:33:53
mind you nobody was in there01:33:55
we would have known since the door01:33:57
always creaks open and shut with a01:33:59
pretty distinct sound01:34:02
that room i'd like to say is where most01:34:04
of the activity always happened01:34:06
the guy that we let rent out that room01:34:09
always said he was scared of it but01:34:11
because he needed a place to stay he01:34:13
just dealt with it01:34:15
that was my experience when i was01:34:17
younger01:34:18
but now let me tell you about my older01:34:20
brothers01:34:22
i'll start with the youngest of my older01:34:23
brothers we'll call him dave01:34:26
dave slept in the room on the other side01:34:28
of the house completely away from the01:34:30
doll01:34:31
but with a massive window that had a01:34:33
hole within the curtains01:34:35
he had things happen in the afternoon01:34:38
like tools being thrown from one side of01:34:40
the room to the other01:34:42
the tv falling and unexplainable01:34:45
scratches on his chest01:34:47
but the one thing that scared the heck01:34:49
out of me01:34:50
was that he had this dream01:34:53
in the dream was the girl in the white01:34:55
dress01:34:56
let me clarify01:34:58
not the doll but a girl01:35:01
this happened to both of my brothers01:35:03
the dream started off normally01:35:06
until he noticed the white dressed girl01:35:08
at his school and went near her01:35:11
she turned around and as he remembers01:35:14
she didn't have eyes it was just black01:35:16
holes and she had a sad expression on01:35:19
her face01:35:20
he woke up to my parents trying to calm01:35:22
him down01:35:24
i remember being right outside his room01:35:26
peeking in01:35:27
he was legit crying his eyes out and01:35:29
i've never seen him act that way before01:35:32
i have another older brother we'll call01:35:34
him mark01:35:36
i believe that he had the worst of it01:35:37
since he slept not even five feet away01:35:40
from the doll01:35:41
he also had a dream about the girl in01:35:43
the dress and the doll as well01:35:46
but his dream wasn't scary just anxiety01:35:49
inducing in my opinion01:35:51
all he remembers is sitting at the01:35:53
dinner table01:35:55
the doll was not too far away from the01:35:57
table01:35:58
it was right in front of the table if i01:36:00
remember correctly01:36:02
the girl with the white dress was01:36:03
sitting across from him with the doll01:36:06
next to her01:36:07
apparently the doll was blinking and the01:36:09
girl was emotionless not blinking01:36:12
whatsoever01:36:14
this is when he started to hear a clock01:36:15
tick01:36:16
it ticked and ticked and ticked01:36:19
until he suddenly woke up in a cold01:36:21
sweat01:36:22
but the problem was01:36:24
when he woke up01:36:26
the doll wasn't in the cabinet01:36:28
instead01:36:29
it was right in front of him01:36:31
he screamed and threw it toward the01:36:33
closet01:36:34
breaking the head of the thing01:36:36
my mom came in and thought somebody had01:36:38
broke in01:36:39
she saw the doll with the broken head on01:36:41
the floor01:36:42
and the creepiest thing was that the01:36:44
doll was upright with the head right01:36:47
behind it01:36:48
while she was extremely angry she was01:36:50
just glad that he was safe01:36:52
and she threw the doll out01:36:55
that was the end of it really01:36:57
a few more things did happen but nothing01:37:00
as bad as what i just told you about01:37:03
needless to say01:37:04
we're glad the doll is gone01:37:23
ever since i was five years old i've had01:37:26
an extreme fear of dolls01:37:29
i am terrified of them01:37:31
now i know that there are a lot of01:37:33
people who are01:37:35
but when i reached to the age of about01:37:37
1601:37:38
my mother finally told me where my fear01:37:41
may have come from01:37:42
it's from a personal experience01:37:45
to this day i can never fully answer01:37:48
whether i believe in the paranormal or01:37:50
not01:37:51
but my personal experience with a doll01:37:54
given to me by an aunt who practiced01:37:56
black magic haunts me until this day01:38:00
when my mom told me this tale i had01:38:02
minor flashbacks of the feeling that i01:38:04
had with this specific doll01:38:08
from the first day i was born i never01:38:10
slept properly never did never have and01:38:14
probably never will i didn't cry or01:38:17
anything when i was awake early i would01:38:19
just quietly play with my hands and wait01:38:22
for my mom to come get me01:38:24
i did this from when i was an infant01:38:26
until i was a toddler01:38:29
around age five we had an aunt from my01:38:32
biological father's side visit us01:38:35
now keep in mind that i have nothing to01:38:37
do with my biological father01:38:40
and this aunt may have wished my mother01:38:42
harm01:38:43
fijians from that generation are01:38:45
typically very superstitious and many of01:38:48
them believe in black magic01:38:51
the things i began to do made us believe01:38:53
that there was something very wrong with01:38:55
this porcelain doll that she had given01:38:57
me as a gift01:39:00
my mom began to notice that i would01:39:02
spend a lot of time with the doll01:39:04
my younger brother who would have been01:39:06
around one to two years old at that time01:39:09
spent a lot of time with my mom01:39:12
i was a very jealous child when he was01:39:14
first born so at first she wasn't too01:39:17
surprised that i spent my time away from01:39:19
them01:39:20
one morning she came to my bedroom and01:39:23
was surprised that i wasn't there like i01:39:26
said before no matter what time i was01:39:28
awake at i never got up without her01:39:31
we had a basement that my brother and i01:39:34
were strictly forbidden from opening and01:39:36
going into01:39:38
because the stairs were spaced quite far01:39:40
apart and being small01:39:43
we could easily have fallen through or01:39:45
down onto the concrete01:39:47
she had a lock put up on the high door01:39:50
just in case01:39:52
besides that the basement was freaky as01:39:54
hell and i never even wanted to go in01:39:56
there alone01:39:57
ever01:39:59
this particular morning along with01:40:01
noticing that i was not in my usual01:40:03
place waiting for her01:40:05
she noticed that this freakish doll01:40:07
wasn't there either01:40:09
before she called out my name01:40:12
she heard me sniveling downstairs01:40:15
as she climbed the stairs down toward me01:40:18
she saw that doll sitting on the couch01:40:22
she heard my crying get louder01:40:24
as she got closer she saw that i was01:40:27
trying to open the basement door lock01:40:29
while crying01:40:31
charissa what the heck are you doing01:40:34
didn't i tell you to never go down there01:40:36
without me01:40:37
i started screaming and crying and ran01:40:40
to bury my face in her dress with relief01:40:43
such relief that she was there to stop01:40:46
me01:40:47
i kept telling her mommy the doll made01:40:50
me the doll made me through my tears01:40:54
i have no idea what this doll's name is01:40:56
anymore but i apparently was saying the01:40:58
name of the doll instead of the doll01:41:01
my mom who is not a believer was01:41:03
thoroughly creeped out because she said01:41:06
that my tears and hysterical crying were01:41:08
not that of a child trying to find an01:41:10
excuse for getting caught doing01:41:12
something bad01:41:13
but actual relief of being saved01:41:16
she packed me up and we were off to my01:41:18
grandma's house without the doll01:41:21
we got rid of that doll stat01:41:24
i know that this is a hard story to01:41:25
believe for anybody01:41:27
i probably would have just played it off01:41:30
as me being a child and trying to blame01:41:32
the doll for getting caught01:41:34
but i know that i never dared to get up01:41:37
without my mom because i was scared to01:41:39
get up by myself01:41:41
and i liked the attention of her coming01:41:42
to get me out of bed every morning01:41:45
i also have very creepy memories of some01:41:48
things about that doll01:41:50
that i'm still too scared to even think01:41:52
about let alone write down01:42:12
we have this toy that has a dozen01:42:14
different phrases01:42:16
i'm home alone and it says01:42:18
i can see you01:42:20
not once but twice in about 10 minutes01:42:23
or so01:42:24
i don't know all the phrases that it's01:42:26
programmed to say01:42:28
so i can't say that that's not one of01:42:30
them but i do know that nothing was01:42:33
touching it01:42:34
so there was zero reason for it to go01:42:36
off01:42:37
it's pretty new so i also doubt that01:42:39
it's failing batteries but even if that01:42:42
was the case01:42:43
why hasn't it been making other sounds01:42:46
also i can see you is about the01:42:48
creepiest phrase i can imagine01:42:51
especially when it happens twice in01:42:53
about 10 minutes01:42:55
without anything being near it to set it01:42:57
off01:42:58
i have no idea what to do with this01:43:00
thing01:43:18
i don't remember a lot of my childhood01:43:20
but what i do remember will forever be01:43:23
ingrained in my memory01:43:25
i was a wee little kid around five to01:43:28
six years old01:43:29
and i used to live in a three-story blue01:43:32
house with my mom and dad01:43:34
we had some birds and black cats as pets01:43:38
and the house was down the street from01:43:40
the infamous mummy museum01:43:43
i can't remember the name of it since i01:43:45
haven't gone back ever since my mom and01:43:47
i left01:43:49
i remember on the weekends if i was01:43:51
asleep early in the morning my mom would01:43:54
go to the farmer's market and try to01:43:56
make it back before i woke up01:43:58
this one time i remember i woke up after01:44:01
she left01:44:02
and i noticed there was a clown doll01:44:05
standing on its own01:44:07
looking out the window toward the street01:44:10
i got up out of bed01:44:12
put it away in a toy chest like dresser01:44:14
thing01:44:15
went to the bathroom and as i was01:44:18
walking back to bed to turn on the tv01:44:21
the doll was in the middle of the floor01:44:23
sitting facing the hallway that leads to01:44:26
the bathroom i had just come out of01:44:28
that same night i remember we had one of01:44:31
the nastiest rainstorms with hail and01:44:34
thunder and lightning01:44:36
i was able to fall asleep pretty early01:44:39
even with the sound of thunder rumbling01:44:41
every inch of our house01:44:43
i can't remember the exact dream i was01:44:46
having but i remember trying to scream for help01:44:49
and running away from something01:44:52
and no matter how loud i felt i was01:44:54
screaming in my dream01:44:55
nobody could hear me01:44:57
i remember waking up panting01:44:59
crying and trying to scream for my mom01:45:02
but nothing came out01:45:04
my heart dropped i cried even more01:45:07
and as lightning lit up the house i got01:45:10
a glimpse of the creepy clown doll01:45:12
sitting upright on the living room table01:45:15
with a menacing grin on its face01:45:18
a grin that it didn't have before01:45:21
i believe the doll was possessed01:45:23
i have no recollection of how i got it01:45:26
i told my cousins and they said that01:45:29
they had similar experiences with01:45:31
objects in their house01:45:33
they lived a few houses away from mine01:45:35
on the same street01:45:38
i still don't have any explanation for01:45:40
what i encountered with that doll as a01:45:42
kid but all of us seem to think that it01:45:45
might be connected to that museum01:46:04
my dad died when i was 11.01:46:07
every summer we went to a little town01:46:09
which has a porcelain doll museum01:46:12
i loved going there hanging out with my01:46:15
dad and i had several dolls myself01:46:18
but the one that i loved the most01:46:20
resembled an indian girl with two braids01:46:24
i kept it on a shelf that was facing my01:46:26
bed01:46:27
pushed into the corner of it01:46:30
i had it for like three to four years i01:46:32
didn't touch it not even once01:46:35
i just admired it01:46:37
as i mentioned my dad died in december01:46:40
fast forward half a year later it's june01:46:43
summer holidays and i'm laying on my bed01:46:46
with my laptop01:46:48
chatting with my friend at midnight01:46:51
both my door and window were open but it01:46:53
was quiet outside01:46:55
no wind nothing01:46:57
and the doll suddenly fell to the floor01:47:00
i was startled by the noise but confused01:47:04
since it didn't shatter01:47:06
the shelf was nearly two meters high i01:47:08
think01:47:09
so i turned off the lights01:47:11
covered myself in a blanket and went to01:47:13
sleep hoping that i could01:47:16
the next morning the doll was still on01:47:18
the ground face down and i started to01:47:21
think01:47:22
how could it fall01:47:24
it was protected from wind even though01:47:26
there was none01:47:27
and there was a 40 centimeter empty01:47:29
space in front of it01:47:31
i got up01:47:32
shaking and slowly approached it i sat01:47:36
on the floor and picked it up01:47:38
the doll was intact01:47:40
except for one thing01:47:43
the left braid was cut in half01:47:46
not torn01:47:47
cut01:47:49
i quickly put it away01:47:51
and i never touched it again01:47:53
nor have i even looked at it01:47:56
i still don't really know what happened01:47:58
i tried to think that it was my dad to01:48:00
comfort myself but as i grew older that01:48:03
doesn't seem logical01:48:05
why would my dad who loved me the most01:48:08
try to hurt my favorite doll that he01:48:11
gave me01:48:29
i've always had a life filled with01:48:31
paranormal events or so my religious01:48:34
mother tells me01:48:36
much of those i don't remember01:48:37
personally but i don't doubt her01:48:40
that and well the stories she tells me01:48:43
aren't evil paranormal just casualties01:48:47
and me seeing my grandpa and uncle01:48:50
around when they had long been dead but01:48:52
it was a nice encounter according to her01:48:56
the only thing i personally remember and01:48:59
i still have the image of it stamped01:49:01
into my memory01:49:02
is this one01:49:05
so to this day i have full baskets of01:49:08
plushies dolls and signature action01:49:11
figures from way back when my younger01:49:14
brother and i were obsessed with01:49:16
collecting and playing with them01:49:19
i also used to have a grey dog i don't01:49:21
remember the breed but he was around the01:49:24
house a lot and his name was hobbs01:49:28
our goal was to have our cast of01:49:30
characters01:49:32
funny enough we made up our characters01:49:34
and completely dismissed the physical01:49:36
appearance of the toy01:49:38
often referring to dinosaurs as sonic01:49:41
characters for example01:49:43
the room was always messy because we01:49:45
would spend literal hours just moving01:49:48
the toys around and doing voices for01:49:50
them01:49:51
we moved all around the room in doing so01:49:54
and time flew by we never cleaned our01:49:57
room that same day01:49:59
one day after a play session we were01:50:01
told to clean up after the mess we had01:50:03
done the other day and so we did01:50:06
i crouched to see below the bed01:50:09
and midway through01:50:11
something moved01:50:13
i swear on my life i saw this thing01:50:16
sliver around like if it was my dog01:50:19
hobbs crawling out from under the bed01:50:22
instinctively i greeted him and waited01:50:25
for him to come out as he normally would01:50:28
but he didn't01:50:30
i quickly ducked further to see what was01:50:32
going on01:50:33
and i found that what had moved was a01:50:35
plushie toy01:50:37
i couldn't speak for a moment and i just01:50:39
glared at my brother across the room01:50:42
hoping that he had somehow seen it01:50:45
he heard me say the name of our dog and01:50:47
was equally surprised that the dog was01:50:50
in the room as we would often close the01:50:52
door01:50:53
being the older brother i didn't want to01:50:56
scream and run out of the room in horror01:50:58
because i knew that that would really01:51:00
set the alarm off for my brother01:51:02
he was really sensitive to the01:51:04
paranormal and he never coped with it01:51:06
well01:51:07
so i just told him to get out with me01:51:09
and we played some wii afterward01:51:12
i didn't pick up this gray plush until01:51:14
the night time01:51:16
this is a little bit blurry though i01:51:18
think he may have picked it up because i01:51:20
don't remember confronting what i saw01:51:22
myself01:51:23
i still vividly remember how it moved01:51:26
simply slithering forward by thumbing01:51:29
itself side to side just like a dog01:51:32
would01:51:33
it was the villain from the first kung01:51:35
fu panda movie so his back the side i01:51:38
saw was spotted and gray and looked01:51:41
exactly like my dog's paws01:51:44
i swear he moved and i even went to01:51:46
confess it to my brother once we were01:51:49
way way older01:51:50
past the point of minding that we no01:51:52
longer had an option for a plushie to01:51:54
play with01:51:56
he believes me but simply because i'm01:51:58
honest01:51:59
i feel that he doesn't really measure01:52:01
what i saw01:52:03
remember how i talked about my mother01:52:05
speaking to me about how i saw dead01:52:07
relatives01:52:09
it turns out that she had a brother that01:52:11
died at age two due to heart01:52:14
complications01:52:15
she told me this many years after we had01:52:17
stopped playing with dolls01:52:19
to keep it simple what happened was that01:52:22
another mess was made in my room01:52:24
but my mother wanted me to pick up01:52:26
things as fast as possible because01:52:28
guests were coming01:52:30
and for some reason they wanted to come01:52:32
and check me in my room01:52:35
at this time i was two years old so my01:52:37
brother hadn't been born yet it was just01:52:39
me playing01:52:41
she said that i did so so she left the01:52:44
room and when she came back01:52:46
she saw me with a much worse mess than01:52:49
before01:52:50
she got mad and asked why on earth i01:52:53
would just undo what i'd been doing for01:52:54
an hour01:52:56
i had told her that uncle raphael had01:52:58
arrived to play with me01:53:00
that same uncle that died at the age01:53:02
that i was that my mother hadn't even01:53:04
mentioned to me yet01:53:06
she still hasn't come up with an idea of01:53:09
how i could just know his name out of01:53:10
thin air so she truly believes that i01:53:14
saw a kind gentle infant spirit who knew01:53:16
who i was and just wanted to play01:53:20
the phrasing of it kind of scares the01:53:22
crap out of me now01:53:24
especially after i connected it with the01:53:26
events of that plushie moving01:53:28
i do feel like it was probably him again01:53:31
because it was the last time i ever saw01:53:33
my toys moving01:53:35
nothing ever came of it because like i01:53:38
said he was a kind ghost01:53:40
i didn't have nightmares or troubles01:53:42
picking up plushies or playing with them01:53:44
or sleeping in the same room where it01:53:46
was01:53:48
the plushie is still lying around01:53:49
somewhere in my brother's room in his01:53:51
closet01:53:53
but he's never told me or my mom about01:53:55
having any trouble sleeping in there01:53:57
had it been a malicious spirit i think01:53:59
things would have been different01:54:01
i'm pretty sure that this was just my01:54:03
uncle01:54:04
and each day that passes i wonder if01:54:06
he's really still with us01:54:08
being more cautious now that i can spot01:54:11
and react accordingly to the paranormal01:54:30
recently i've been reading some other01:54:33
stories and i was reminded of something01:54:35
that happened to me a while ago01:54:38
once a year my parents go on vacation01:54:41
together somewhere in the united states01:54:44
usually to the bahamas or to florida01:54:47
they leave me in charge of the house01:54:49
with my dog and they like for me to01:54:51
check in on my nana who lives in our01:54:53
basement01:54:54
normal right01:54:56
there's another important bit of01:54:58
background information01:55:00
my dad takes part in this weird golfing01:55:03
competition with his friends01:55:06
where if somebody wins a certain amount01:55:08
of holes they get to take home this01:55:11
creepy doll as a sort of trophy01:55:14
i don't know why but i'm guessing it's01:55:16
some running gag01:55:18
well01:55:19
my dad won the competition and he01:55:21
brought it home before he left01:55:24
i'm not at all scared of dolls in fact01:55:27
before he left i slept with it beside me01:55:29
as a joke01:55:31
it was basically an old baby doll with a01:55:33
missing eye and a brown dress01:55:36
i don't know the origin of it and i01:55:38
didn't really bother to ask01:55:42
november rolls around and my parents01:55:44
leave for their vacation everything goes01:55:47
normal for a little while but then01:55:49
things start to get really weird01:55:52
because i'm the stereotypical little01:55:54
brother01:55:55
i put the doll on my sister's bed who's01:55:57
in university01:55:59
and i took a picture01:56:00
to send it to her as a joke01:56:02
she hates dolls01:56:04
so i leave the room with the doll still01:56:06
in there and head into my room just to01:56:08
send the photo and move on with my life01:56:11
a few minutes later i hear a massive01:56:14
bang01:56:15
i jump startled01:56:17
and i go to look into the hallway01:56:20
the door to my sister's room has slammed01:56:23
shut01:56:24
now our hallway has no opening windows01:56:27
and there wasn't any kind of draft01:56:30
even if there had been that bang sounded01:56:32
forceful01:56:34
a little on edge i open her door01:56:37
and i see that the doll has fallen01:56:39
face forward01:56:41
even though i left it sitting upright01:56:43
and slightly back01:56:45
i thought it was weird but i brought the01:56:47
doll back into my room and moved on01:56:51
that night i'm sleeping normally in my01:56:53
parents room i have to sleep in there01:56:55
while my parents are away01:56:57
because i have to keep an eye on the dog01:56:59
and she refuses to sleep anywhere else01:57:03
i wake up suddenly in the night which is01:57:05
odd for me01:57:06
i usually sleep all the way through the01:57:08
night01:57:09
i check the time and i see that it's01:57:11
around 3 am01:57:13
this immediately freaks me out because i01:57:16
read that this is the witching hour as01:57:18
it were01:57:20
i glanced over at my dog and she's awake01:57:22
too with her head up01:57:24
also strange01:57:26
i put on my little puppy voice and ask01:57:29
the dog if she needs to pee but she just01:57:31
stares back at me01:57:33
and then looks to the closet01:57:35
i look to the closet too01:57:37
and i see that it's open01:57:39
even though i very much remember01:57:41
shutting it before going to bed01:57:44
i quickly turn on the lamp and get out01:57:46
of bed to close the door01:57:48
i don't even bother looking inside01:57:50
my teenage brain still thinks it's a01:57:52
ghost and that that's far more likely01:57:54
than an intruder01:57:56
so i get back in bed scroll on my phone01:57:59
a little bit and finally fall back01:58:00
asleep01:58:02
i wake up the next morning as usual to01:58:04
feed my dog but when i go into the01:58:07
hallway i see that my bedroom door01:58:10
is open01:58:11
i always close my door when i'm not in01:58:14
my room01:58:15
now it's still dark out because i have01:58:17
to feed my dog at around 6am or she01:58:20
throws a fit01:58:22
i look inside my room01:58:24
turn on the light01:58:26
and that doll is on the floor01:58:28
i left it on my bed01:58:31
i remembered the last night and now i'm01:58:34
feeling paranoid but again i just put01:58:36
the doll back on my bed and left01:58:39
deciding to just have my door open01:58:43
after feeding my dog i went back to01:58:45
sleep an extra couple of hours01:58:47
and that's when the most frightening01:58:49
thing happened01:58:51
i was woken up by a loud banging sound01:58:54
loud enough to wake me the heaviest01:58:57
sleeper in my family01:58:59
i quickly got up and ran downstairs my01:59:02
first thought being that maybe my nana01:59:04
had fallen in the basement and was01:59:05
banging for me to help her01:59:07
but when i got downstairs i realized01:59:11
the banging was coming from the balcony01:59:13
door01:59:14
i saw the glass shaking as if something01:59:16
was hitting it from outside01:59:19
the banging was so loud that it was01:59:21
shaking the counters01:59:23
the strangest part is that my dog was01:59:25
just standing in front of the door01:59:28
staring at it and she's the type of dog01:59:31
who will start barking if a mouse farts01:59:34
i'm really shaken up at this point01:59:37
it's completely still outside01:59:39
no wind at all01:59:42
i text my parents and tell them what's01:59:44
going on01:59:45
and as soon as i do01:59:47
the banging stops01:59:48
they tell me it's probably nothing and01:59:50
not to worry about it i went downstairs01:59:53
to see my nana but she had no idea what01:59:55
i was talking about01:59:57
then again she's almost completely deaf01:59:59
so it didn't surprise me that she02:00:01
couldn't hear it02:00:02
she can't even walk up the stairs so02:00:05
there's no way that she was causing any02:00:07
of this02:00:08
that was the last weird incident that02:00:10
happened02:00:11
the next week my parents got back02:00:14
i didn't tell them everything that02:00:15
happened because i didn't want them to02:00:17
think i was a chicken or something02:00:20
needless to say i moved the doll out of02:00:22
my room until my dad brought it back to02:00:24
his golf team02:00:25
nothing strange happened after that02:00:28
i still have no idea what went on during02:00:30
those couple of days02:00:32
but it certainly was strange02:00:34
i sort of wonder what the story behind02:00:37
that doll is now02:00:38
but i don't think i really want to know02:00:58
when i was younger my church took a02:01:00
bunch of us kids to toys r us02:01:03
they gave us a budget and we could buy02:01:06
whatever we wanted for christmas02:01:08
when we went we all ran around with our02:01:11
parents and chose the toys that we02:01:14
wanted02:01:15
i got a barbie set with clothes and a02:01:18
car02:01:19
i also got a polly pocket closet and a02:01:22
few of the dolls02:01:23
i got a few board games also and finally02:01:26
they said we had five minutes left02:01:29
i was near the actual dolls so i rushed02:01:33
looking for one that had brown hair like02:01:36
mine02:01:37
i finally found one with just two02:01:40
minutes to spare02:01:42
she had brown hair and bangs and her02:01:46
hair was half up02:01:48
she had on a pink shirt a denim jacket02:01:51
with the same color jeans02:01:53
and she had a little pink phone in her02:01:55
hand with painted buttons02:01:57
there was also a button in the palm of02:01:59
her other hand that allowed her to talk02:02:01
but there was no feature for her to move02:02:04
it was just a basic doll02:02:06
that was it02:02:08
i reached for it and grabbed it but my02:02:10
sister was also getting toys02:02:12
she liked it too so we fought for it02:02:16
our mom told us to share it since it was02:02:18
the last one left and we agreed02:02:21
when we got home we wrapped everything02:02:23
but the doll so we could open it and02:02:24
start playing02:02:26
my sister and i ripped the box open and02:02:29
we played with a doll all day02:02:31
when it was bedtime we put her up on our02:02:33
bookshelf and went to sleep02:02:36
i remember what happened because i woke02:02:39
up pretty late and automatically looked02:02:41
up at my bookshelf02:02:44
the doll turned its head to look at me02:02:46
and moved its arm02:02:49
i couldn't sleep all night watching it02:02:51
so the next day i told my sister about02:02:54
it she laughed at me02:02:57
nighttime came around again02:02:59
and the doll had moved again02:03:02
it moved its arms and head02:03:05
and was not on the bookshelf02:03:08
my sister freaked out and couldn't sleep02:03:10
and i freaked out and hid under the02:03:12
covers02:03:13
the next morning we told our stepdad and02:03:16
he laughed02:03:17
he said oh watch out it's a chucky02:03:20
situation02:03:22
we brought the doll to him and told him02:03:25
to look at it he jokingly started moving02:03:27
its arms and legs and then gave it back02:03:30
to us02:03:31
we took it and as soon as we did it02:03:33
moved so he threw it off the balcony02:03:36
he went back down to get it02:03:38
but then the doll moved in his arms and02:03:41
he threw it over the balcony too02:03:44
i have no idea what was going on with02:03:46
that doll but we never picked it up02:03:48
again02:03:50
i know the doll moved on its own02:03:53
but it was brand new and had never been02:03:56
owned by anyone else at all02:03:58
i don't know how it could have been02:03:59
haunted02:04:00
to this day02:04:02
i have no idea why that happened02:04:21
i'll start by saying that i did not02:04:24
personally witness or experience this02:04:27
but the story comes from a close family02:04:30
friend02:04:31
whom i consider reputable and honest02:04:34
personally i'm rather skeptical when it02:04:37
comes to most paranormal activity02:04:40
but i believe this story because of the02:04:42
man who told it02:04:44
so as a little bit of background my02:04:46
father was a police officer for 25 years02:04:49
through the 80s and 90s02:04:52
his best friends were mostly officers02:04:55
growing up02:04:57
i always met and was around cops02:05:00
some of my father's cop friends were02:05:02
annoying and rude and some were really02:05:05
squared away nice guys02:05:07
one in particular was my favorite02:05:10
i won't use his real name so i'll just02:05:12
refer to him as bob02:05:15
bob was one of my father's closest02:05:17
friends and beat partner for a long time02:05:21
he was an older african-american man02:05:23
from new orleans02:05:24
he was polite had great mannerisms and02:05:27
carried himself confidently02:05:29
my father used to say he was the most02:05:31
honest cop he ever worked with and had02:05:34
solid integrity and bravery02:05:37
one night he and my father worked an02:05:39
off-duty job at a local event some sort02:05:42
of carnival or fair i can't remember02:05:45
exactly02:05:46
but there was a clown there02:05:49
my father told me the entire night bob02:05:52
was acting strangely02:05:54
acting uncomfortable02:05:56
quiet02:05:57
and shy02:05:59
when my father asked him what was wrong02:06:01
bob just said02:06:03
i hate clowns i always have02:06:06
my father started poking fun at him for02:06:09
being scared of the clown02:06:11
and he said that bob just stared at him02:06:13
with this look that he'd never seen him02:06:15
have before02:06:17
like he was genuinely afraid02:06:20
so my father asks why02:06:22
and this is bob's story02:06:25
bob grew up in new orleans when he was a02:06:27
child his mom took him to stay at his02:06:30
aunt's house for a few weeks02:06:33
bob said that he didn't care much for02:06:35
his aunt02:06:36
she wasn't mean to him02:06:38
but he always got a strange vibe when he02:06:40
was around her02:06:42
as though she carried an evil aura with02:06:44
her02:06:46
his family used to joke that his aunt02:06:48
was involved in voodoo and black magic02:06:50
but they mostly just said these things02:06:52
in jest02:06:54
this time at his aunts was largely02:06:56
uneventful with the exception of a02:06:58
strange rule she had02:07:00
he was not allowed into the kitchen02:07:03
bob didn't understand why but he02:07:05
followed it02:07:07
on some nights bob claimed to hear his02:07:09
aunt talking to people in the kitchen at02:07:11
odd hours02:07:12
in the mornings he would question his02:07:14
aunt if she had friends over and she02:07:16
would say that she didn't02:07:19
his aunt had a thing for dolls02:07:21
she had them all around the house02:07:24
he hated them he said whenever he passed02:07:27
to buy the cabinets displaying them02:07:29
he always felt like he was being watched02:07:33
but she had one doll that she always02:07:36
carried around and protected like it was02:07:38
some kind of treasure02:07:40
you guessed it02:07:42
a clown doll02:07:44
he said his aunt loved this thing02:07:47
always took it around the house02:07:49
caring for it like it was a child02:07:52
he didn't understand why02:07:55
he said it was ugly and horrible looking02:07:57
and was the most frightening one that02:07:59
she owned02:08:01
one night he said that he smelled his02:08:03
aunt baking something sweet and02:08:05
conversing with someone02:08:07
he got excited and ran into the kitchen02:08:10
without thinking about his aunt's single02:08:13
rule02:08:15
when he ran in he saw on the counter the02:08:18
clown doll02:08:20
moving its mouth02:08:21
and speaking to his aunt in a man's02:08:24
voice02:08:25
the clown turned its head and looked at02:08:27
bob02:08:28
his aunt turned around frantically and02:08:30
scolded him out of the kitchen02:08:32
he said that as his aunt rushed him out02:08:34
of the kitchen he heard the clown doll02:08:37
laughing02:08:39
after that night he never left his room02:08:42
and barely slept02:08:44
his aunt claimed that he was imagining02:08:46
seeing the clown talk02:08:48
he never went back after the incident02:08:51
my father who's a big time paranormal02:08:54
skeptic02:08:55
believes bob02:08:57
he said that he had never seen bob's02:08:59
eyes or body language display so much02:09:01
discomfort and fear as he did when he02:09:04
was telling that story and when he02:09:06
looked at the clowns02:09:08
he looked my dad square in the eyes and02:09:11
said02:09:12
i know what i saw and i know how it02:09:15
sounds but i'm telling you that it02:09:17
happened02:09:18
that doll02:09:20
was alive02:09:38
there's this little access to the attic02:09:40
in the place that we currently live in02:09:43
we never really noticed it up until our02:09:46
roommate pointed it out trying to mess02:09:48
with us and scare us02:09:50
so my best girlfriend and i were doing02:09:53
laundry one day in the garage02:09:55
this thing is located in the garage02:09:57
above the door02:09:58
i was staring up at it as she was02:10:01
sorting laundry02:10:02
it moved open slightly and i told her02:10:05
about it02:10:06
and then02:10:07
it moved closed and i told her again02:10:11
she looked at it and we laughed kind of02:10:13
creeped out you know a nervous kind of02:10:15
laugh02:10:16
we tried to go about our day but then we02:10:19
got paranoid02:10:20
so we went inside and we were talking02:10:23
about it trying to figure out what it02:10:26
might be02:10:27
i kind of creeped her out by talking02:10:29
about all those videos02:10:31
you know the ones you see online of02:10:34
people finding out that other people02:10:36
were living in their attics02:10:38
well we turned the air off and waited02:10:41
for it to shut down02:10:43
we stood in the garage looking at this02:10:44
thing for like five solid minutes02:10:48
we were going to go inside because02:10:50
nothing was happening02:10:52
i looked at my girlfriend said let's go02:10:54
nothing's gonna happen here02:10:57
when i said that the door flung open02:11:00
fast02:11:01
we ran inside screaming02:11:03
the boys swear that it's from opening02:11:05
and closing the garage door02:11:07
but we weren't doing that when this02:11:09
happened so we're still weirded out02:11:12
i really still want to get it checked02:11:13
out02:11:14
because02:11:15
even if it isn't paranormal02:11:17
that could mean that there's somebody02:11:19
living up there02:11:20
and if there's nobody living up there02:11:23
well then02:11:24
something's going on02:11:26
either way02:11:27
i want to know02:11:45
some friends and i ventured into an old02:11:48
abandoned hospital that's pretty02:11:50
securely boarded up we climbed through a02:11:53
broken window that was maybe eight02:11:55
inches at most02:11:57
it was night time and most of the large02:11:59
hospital campus is abandoned with welded02:12:02
doors and boarded windows02:12:04
and though people had obviously gotten02:12:06
in before us there was much less02:12:08
graffiti and damage than we're used to02:12:10
seeing in these places02:12:12
the campus has several buildings and we02:12:15
were clueless as to which one we were in02:12:18
until we found a morgue in the basement02:12:21
and medical equipment strewn about02:12:23
we didn't hear anything or see anything02:12:25
out of the ordinary except for the light02:12:28
in the attic02:12:30
the building had no power02:12:32
yet we could see from the top floor that02:12:35
a light was on above us02:12:37
we couldn't get into the attic as the02:12:39
only staircase up there had a chained02:12:42
and bolted door02:12:44
it was a little odd but i'm not sure if02:12:46
it was paranormal02:12:48
maybe there was a solar powered light02:12:51
would the bulb ever go out02:12:54
i don't know02:12:55
it didn't scare us off02:12:57
we did continue wandering around for a02:12:59
while but nothing crazy happened still02:13:03
sometimes i think about that light in02:13:05
the attic02:13:06
and i try to figure out what could have02:13:07
caused it02:13:08
but i still haven't come up with a02:13:10
sufficient explanation02:13:29
this happened to me about a year ago02:13:32
i often slept at my father's house02:13:34
alongside my sister02:13:37
when we slept over specifically if we02:13:40
were upstairs02:13:42
we would hear someone or something02:13:44
running in the attic02:13:46
at first it didn't scare us02:13:49
and we continued to remain unfazed02:13:52
we thought it must be pigeons or rats02:13:55
but when we told our dad he went to02:13:57
check the attic to see if it was animals02:14:00
but there was nothing and even if there02:14:03
could have been there was literally no02:14:05
space for them to run02:14:07
we have a very small attic you can't02:14:09
even stand02:14:10
upright alongside some wooden panels02:14:13
blocking a straight path there are boxes02:14:16
everywhere02:14:17
clutter is covering the whole floor and02:14:19
there's no gap in between02:14:21
it would have been completely impossible02:14:23
for them to run from one side to the02:14:25
other with such loud footsteps02:14:29
so we still don't know what's up in that02:14:31
attic and frankly i'm not sure we want02:14:34
to find out02:14:52
this happened a few years ago when i was02:14:54
around the age of 18.02:14:57
my group of friends and i were staying02:14:59
at this friend's late grandparents house02:15:01
in a ghost town in the mountains of02:15:03
italy02:15:04
the house is built on two floors with a02:15:07
small courtyard on the front02:15:09
and stairs connecting the two floors on02:15:11
the outside of the house accessible from02:15:14
the courtyard02:15:16
when this happened we were chilling out02:15:18
in the courtyard02:15:19
some other people and i were facing the02:15:21
entrance of the house02:15:23
and we were able to see inside of the02:15:25
second floor02:15:27
specifically the one central corridor02:15:29
with the door to the different rooms02:15:32
two people got inside the house and went02:15:34
to the bathroom which is at the end of02:15:36
the corridor on the right02:15:39
a few minutes later they got out and02:15:41
called out for us02:15:43
asking if somebody had opened the trap02:15:45
door leading to the attic which is02:15:47
located at the very end of the corridor02:15:49
right outside the bathroom02:15:52
that's where things got weird02:15:54
there was no way for someone to open the02:15:56
trap door02:15:57
as you would have needed a ladder to get02:15:59
up there since the ceilings are quite02:16:01
high02:16:02
and the only ladder could be found at02:16:04
the ground floor02:16:05
locked behind the front doors02:16:08
also all of us who were facing in the02:16:10
front of the house and looking directly02:16:12
to the inside02:16:14
should have noticed if someone or02:16:16
something was moving and similarly02:16:19
the two people in the bathroom should02:16:21
have noticed something too02:16:23
as the bathroom has one of those opaque02:16:25
glass doors02:16:27
as soon as we all realized that there02:16:29
was no way somebody in the group could02:16:31
have done that we all got inside the02:16:33
house but nobody had the courage to02:16:35
really go up into the attic02:16:38
so we just closed the door and tried to02:16:40
go on with the day02:16:42
but everybody kept feeling quite uneasy02:16:44
the entire time seeing weird shadows or02:16:47
hearing steps coming from the attic02:16:49
i reckon that could have easily been02:16:51
because of the suggestion but still02:16:54
i don't know how we managed to do that02:16:56
but eventually we all went to sleep02:16:59
and the morning after some friends02:17:00
finally decided to go up and check the02:17:02
attic02:17:03
the room was completely bare02:17:06
the only thing they found up there was a02:17:08
hammer02:17:09
standing on its head in the middle of02:17:11
the room02:17:12
it's fair to say that only creeped us02:17:15
out all the more and it really didn't02:17:17
make us want to look into whatever had02:17:19
happened02:17:21
so again they just got out of the attic02:17:23
and closed the door02:17:25
we were all very glad to go back to the02:17:28
city later that day02:17:46
when i was younger about nine02:17:49
my parents and all of my siblings went02:17:51
on vacation to germany02:17:54
while me02:17:55
my sister who is three years older than02:17:57
me02:17:58
and my brother who was in high school at02:18:00
the time stayed home02:18:02
we had our next door neighbors02:18:04
babysitting us02:18:05
i live out in the country on 18 acres so02:18:08
nobody is very close to us besides them02:18:12
anyway my house has always been a little02:18:14
bit creepy in certain parts but it comes02:18:17
and goes02:18:18
the night before everything happened my02:18:20
neighbor fred fixed all of the locks in02:18:23
the house specifically this one door by02:18:26
my parents bedroom that we never use02:18:29
i think i've probably used that door a02:18:31
total of 10 times and i've lived here02:18:34
for 11 years02:18:36
their bedroom is on the first floor and02:18:38
everybody else's is on the second02:18:41
so he fixed all the locks and then02:18:43
latched them all shut02:18:45
we only ever used the side door by the02:18:47
garage and the front door02:18:50
so the next day we all went to school02:18:52
and my sister and i went to our singing02:18:54
and dancing group after that02:18:56
rachel who was watching us drove us02:19:00
fred worked and we picked him up on our02:19:02
way home so just my brother was home02:19:06
his room is right next to the attic02:19:09
so we all get home from being gone all02:19:11
day and my brother is freaking out02:19:15
he said that while he was sleeping the02:19:17
attic door so to speak fell onto the02:19:20
floor by his room02:19:22
to get to the attic you have to stand on02:19:25
a ladder and you have to push the door02:19:27
up because it rests on a border on the02:19:29
wall02:19:30
you have to slide the door up to sit on02:19:33
the floor of the attic02:19:35
and this door02:19:36
fell down onto the floor02:19:39
which is wild because to do that it02:19:41
would have had to have been turned02:19:42
sideways02:19:44
and nobody was home02:19:46
we all get home and every single door in02:19:49
that house is wide open02:19:52
there are five different doors on the02:19:54
first floor02:19:55
so everybody's freaking out wondering02:19:57
what happened02:19:58
and we go upstairs and see the door02:20:00
sitting on the floor02:20:03
everybody goes into my parents room and02:20:05
i'm walking from the kitchen to their02:20:07
room02:20:08
i hear my name being called very quietly02:20:11
from upstairs02:20:13
i walked into the room02:20:15
and everybody else was in the room too02:20:18
nobody was upstairs02:20:20
nobody could have been calling me02:20:23
it could have been an intruder or02:20:24
somebody trying to steal but nothing was02:20:27
missing02:20:28
and that hasn't been the only scary02:20:30
thing that's happened in my house02:20:33
either way it gave us all quite the02:20:36
fright02:20:53
i have an attic in my house and ever02:20:56
since i was young i hated going up there02:20:59
it was dark as there was no light up02:21:02
there and it was always absolutely freezing02:21:06
it had a really bad energy02:21:08
and my anxiety would skyrocket whenever02:21:11
i had to go up there with my dad02:21:14
it felt like someone had set a timer and02:21:17
time was running out if that makes sense02:21:20
like i had to get out of there as soon02:21:22
as possible or something really bad02:21:25
would happen02:21:26
in 2016 my parents decided to convert02:21:30
the attic and make it their bedroom02:21:33
after this happened i noticed a lot of02:21:35
unexplainable things going on02:21:39
the first02:21:40
one day i was off school and i was home02:21:43
alone02:21:45
i was lying on my bed watching the02:21:46
jeremy kyle show with both of my cats on02:21:49
the bed with me02:21:51
then i heard what sounded like somebody02:21:53
walking down the stairs from the attic02:21:57
it's a very distinct sound and i knew02:21:59
what it was02:22:01
i paused the video and listened02:22:03
i didn't hear anything so i continued02:22:06
watching now a little on edge02:22:09
two minutes later i heard the footsteps02:22:11
again02:22:13
my cat's ears perked up and both of them02:22:16
were staring at my door02:22:18
peanut my cat started hissing and02:22:20
meowing and went to the end of my bed to02:22:23
hide02:22:24
at this point i was tearing up02:22:27
i somehow managed to get out of bed and02:22:29
pull my drawers in front of the door02:22:32
i sat in front of the door and called my02:22:34
dad sobbing i explained to him what was02:22:37
happening02:22:38
and he said to get out of my room and02:22:41
look02:22:42
hell no02:22:43
i begged him to call my neighbors to02:22:45
come in and get me02:22:47
it was only after i called my dad five02:22:50
times he kept hanging up on me that he02:22:52
finally called my neighbors02:22:55
when my neighbors came in they have a02:22:57
key02:22:58
i flew down the stairs sobbing and02:23:00
shaking02:23:01
my neighbor checked the entire house but02:23:04
nobody was there02:23:05
i didn't feel safe staying home for02:23:07
weeks after this02:23:09
the second02:23:11
my best friend and i would hang out02:23:13
after school at my house most days and02:23:15
whenever we did we would always hear02:23:17
noises from upstairs02:23:20
one time in particular we were in the02:23:22
kitchen making noodles and we heard02:23:24
banging upstairs02:23:26
i assumed it was my cat and didn't think02:23:28
anything of it02:23:30
my friend then shushed me and told me to02:23:33
listen02:23:34
from upstairs i could hear the sound of02:23:36
someone opening and closing a chest of02:23:39
drawers02:23:40
and slamming my wardrobe doors02:23:43
now my cats are loud and clever02:23:46
but how does a cat open a drawer02:23:49
it's a very distinct sound02:23:51
so we ended up waiting in my back garden02:23:54
holding a paint scraper and a knife02:23:55
until my dad came home02:23:58
the third02:23:59
this is by far one of the scariest02:24:01
stories02:24:03
my dad my sister and i were all home02:24:06
my dad called up the stairs to me and02:24:08
said he was going to the shops02:24:11
once he left i went downstairs to grab02:24:13
some food02:24:15
i asked my sister if she wanted anything02:24:17
to eat02:24:18
and she said yes02:24:20
she was in the front room so i was02:24:22
talking to her from the kitchen02:24:25
my dad knocked on the door and i yelled02:24:27
at her to get it02:24:28
she didn't02:24:30
i went to get the door telling her off02:24:32
for being lazy02:24:34
when i opened the door in came my dad02:24:37
and my sister02:24:39
after months of noises banging hearing02:24:42
people talking and walking around when i02:24:45
was home alone02:24:46
i was sick of it02:24:48
i felt anxious to be in my own home02:24:51
and i had other things to worry about02:24:53
so one day i decided to try to talk to02:24:56
whatever it was that was in that house02:24:59
i didn't use a ouija board or anything02:25:01
like that02:25:02
i just sat on my stairs and had a chat i02:25:05
guess02:25:06
i told them that i respected that they02:25:09
were in this house before02:25:11
but that they were scaring me and02:25:13
stressing me out02:25:15
i asked if they would be able to leave02:25:17
or at the very least to stop scaring me02:25:21
after this i've never had anything02:25:22
happen in my house02:25:24
no banging no noises02:25:27
nothing02:25:44
i've been hearing knocks coming from the02:25:46
attic and from the walls for a while now02:25:50
recently they've been happening02:25:52
coincidentally02:25:53
right under me02:25:55
i'll move to one area and it will happen02:25:58
there02:25:59
and then02:26:00
on a separate occasion i'll be in an02:26:02
entirely different room02:26:04
and still02:26:05
it will knock above me or below me02:26:08
i've had a history of sleep deprivation02:26:11
anxiety and depression02:26:13
i've heard my name whispered in my ear02:26:16
and something whisper02:26:17
help me02:26:19
sounded like some kind of zombie02:26:22
recently i've been having terrifying02:26:24
hallucinations02:26:26
as i'm about to cross into the first02:26:28
stage of sleep i always feel or hear02:26:31
something that wakes me up immediately02:26:34
back and forth from being awake to the02:26:36
entering of the first stage of sleep02:26:39
i feel something tug at my pillow in the02:26:41
mattress moving as if somebody's trying02:26:44
to lift it02:26:45
eventually i figured all of this was a02:26:47
hallucination for multiple reasons02:26:49
i've recorded when i felt something02:26:51
pushed the pillow behind me there's02:26:53
nothing there02:26:54
on other occasions i have felt tremors02:26:57
caused by my body02:26:59
and shaking that felt exactly like what02:27:01
i thought something else was causing02:27:04
but the noises and seeing things move on02:27:06
their own has been happening for a while02:27:08
now02:27:09
way before my hallucinations02:27:12
and those happened out of nowhere02:27:16
i usually only have motion02:27:17
hallucinations rather than seeing or02:27:20
hearing things02:27:21
the knocking is really freaking me out02:27:24
could it be possible that i'm02:27:25
hallucinating all of this02:27:28
or is it actually real either way it02:27:30
doesn't matter02:27:32
i've told my parents about the02:27:33
experiences i've had but they keep02:27:35
denying that it's real02:27:37
i'm tired of living in fear02:27:39
if anybody has any idea how to ignore it02:27:42
or get rid of it i'd love to know02:28:02
i live in england in a two-story flat02:28:04
and i've always believed in the02:28:06
paranormal02:28:07
but my dad does not believe in any type02:28:10
of ghost or anything paranormal02:28:13
i never thought that this flat was02:28:15
haunted02:28:16
however as i got older i started to feel02:28:20
uncomfortable by myself02:28:22
and i would see shadows downstairs out02:28:25
of the corner of my eye02:28:27
now there is an attic directly above our02:28:30
second floor02:28:31
but there's no way for us to enter it as02:28:34
you can't access it from the flat02:28:37
the only way to access this attic is by02:28:40
having a specific key that can open the02:28:42
attic as it is council flat02:28:45
which is above all my neighbor's house02:28:48
however the attic above my flat is the02:28:51
one which is blocked off and there's no02:28:53
way to enter it02:28:55
i have the last flat on the end of these02:28:58
18 council flats there are no neighbors02:29:01
above us just the attic that nobody can02:29:03
access without that key and they still02:29:06
wouldn't be able to get above our flat02:29:09
one night about two years ago all of the02:29:12
family was in bed02:29:14
it was about three o'clock in the02:29:15
morning02:29:17
all of a sudden i heard something crash02:29:19
above us02:29:20
it was so loud that it woke the entire02:29:22
family up02:29:24
and we all got up and stood on the02:29:25
landing together02:29:27
after the bang we heard three loud02:29:29
footsteps and the sound of something02:29:32
being dragged behind those footsteps02:29:35
it was so scary especially since we knew02:29:38
that nobody could physically get up02:29:40
there02:29:42
my dad was not convinced that it was a02:29:44
ghost he thought that somebody somehow02:29:47
had gotten up into that attic02:29:49
so he went outside to check to see if02:29:51
the communal attic door was opened02:29:54
i followed him outside and it was02:29:56
completely padlocked shut with heavy02:29:59
chains around the lock02:30:01
i tried to explain to him how can there02:30:04
be anyone up in our part of the attic02:30:06
when it's blocked off and impossible to02:30:08
get to02:30:09
we came back into the house and we were02:30:12
all pretty shaken up02:30:13
my brother was quite young and was able02:30:16
to get back to sleep02:30:18
but i was awake all night and found it02:30:20
very difficult to sleep02:30:22
after this experience i started to smell02:30:25
old cigarette smell every time i would02:30:27
enter the toilet area02:30:29
it smelled so old and gross02:30:32
after the event02:30:34
my brother and my mom and i were going02:30:36
away on holiday whilst my dad had to02:30:38
stay there and work02:30:40
he told me that he slept with headphones02:30:42
on every night as even he felt02:30:44
uncomfortable by himself02:30:47
i have no idea what those noises were02:30:50
as a family we still can't figure it out02:30:52
and ever since then02:30:54
we've heard many more strange noises02:31:14
this was not my only experience with the02:31:17
paranormal but it certainly is the most02:31:19
memorable02:31:21
i was living in rural ghana at the time02:31:24
working for a non-profit organization02:31:26
based in a small farming town of about02:31:29
four thousand people02:31:31
it was very poor and undeveloped few02:31:34
houses had electricity or running water02:31:37
i lived with my colleague in a guest02:31:39
house on the organization's compound02:31:42
this town like many rural communities in02:31:45
west africa02:31:46
was home to a substantial number of02:31:48
people who practiced juju02:31:51
for those of you who are unfamiliar with02:31:53
the term02:31:54
juju is a traditional form of west02:31:57
african witchcraft02:31:59
many times throughout the year i lived02:32:01
there i would wake up in the middle of02:32:03
the night to the sound of a local coven02:32:05
off in the bush somewhere02:32:07
feeding drums and chanting02:32:10
they were practicing their rituals and02:32:13
performing spells as the locals had02:32:15
explained to me02:32:17
this always occurred in the middle of02:32:19
the night during the witching hour02:32:22
often times when this was happening02:32:24
parishioners from various local churches02:32:27
mostly anglican and catholics02:32:30
would meet up on a hill and start their02:32:32
own drum circles chanting prayers and02:32:35
singing hymns in an effort to defend02:32:38
against the black magic being performed02:32:40
across town02:32:41
as often as this spiritual battle02:32:43
happened during my stay there i never02:32:46
got used to it02:32:47
not only was it completely unnerving the02:32:50
noise would keep me up for hours and i02:32:52
would be exhausted at work the next day02:32:56
one night during a torrential downpour02:32:58
the power went out02:33:00
this happened every few days during the02:33:02
rainy season so we weren't concerned02:33:05
we took out the flashlights and lit some02:33:07
candles in our shared space02:33:10
and went about our evening routine02:33:12
but something felt very different about02:33:15
that night02:33:16
the air had a certain feel to it a02:33:19
strange tension that both my roommate02:33:21
and i sensed but neither acknowledged in02:33:24
the moment02:33:26
without much else to do we both went to02:33:28
bed early to read02:33:30
i remember feeling really uneasy going02:33:32
to bed02:33:33
as if there was some kind of presence in02:33:35
the room02:33:37
i kept shining my flashlight into the02:33:39
corners and around the room02:33:41
eventually i drifted off to sleep02:33:44
i woke up hearing the faint sound of02:33:47
drums off in the distance02:33:49
i got up to go to the latrines and02:33:51
walking outside i could hear the muffled02:33:54
sound of chanting02:33:56
although i had heard it dozens of times02:33:58
already by that point the sound of their02:34:00
rituals sent a shiver down my spine02:34:03
after using the restroom i went back to02:34:06
bed doing my best to ignore the sounds02:34:09
emanating from the woods02:34:11
just as i was falling asleep i heard a02:34:14
bizarre sound coming from my acoustic02:34:16
guitar in the corner of the room02:34:19
it sounded as though something was02:34:21
slowly dragging an edge down along the02:34:24
underside of the steel string while02:34:26
stretching it outwards at the same time02:34:30
i came out of my half sleep my heart in02:34:33
my throat02:34:34
the slow scraping of the string02:34:36
continued for a second02:34:38
then paused02:34:40
the guitar creaked in the dark02:34:42
the strings sounding completely02:34:44
stretched02:34:45
and then02:34:47
dwang02:34:48
the string slapped back against the neck02:34:50
of the guitar ringing throughout the02:34:52
house02:34:53
it honestly sounded as if the string had02:34:55
broken02:34:56
i was terrified02:34:58
i couldn't bring myself to move or even02:35:01
to shine my flashlight toward the corner02:35:03
to see what might have struck the string02:35:06
i laid there in bed02:35:08
too fearful to move or sleep for about02:35:10
an hour i started wondering if it was02:35:13
all in my head02:35:15
eventually i started to fall asleep02:35:17
again02:35:18
without any buildup the guitar made the02:35:21
same stretching sound on another string02:35:23
and then released02:35:25
slapping against the fretboard and02:35:27
ringing out as loud as the first time02:35:30
i jumped out of bed with my flashlight02:35:32
looking around the room wondering if i'd02:35:34
lost my mind02:35:36
there was no falling asleep after that02:35:39
when morning broke i checked the guitar02:35:41
in the light02:35:43
i could have sworn that the two strings02:35:45
had broken judging by the awful sounds02:35:47
they made but they were all intact02:35:50
two of the strings the low and high e02:35:53
strings were way out of tune and felt02:35:56
loose while the others were all still02:35:58
taut and in tune02:36:00
i asked my roommate over breakfast if02:36:02
she had heard it and she had02:36:05
she had heard the first note ring out02:36:06
before falling asleep02:36:08
and the second had woken her up02:36:11
we were both understandably rattled02:36:14
we told the story to our colleague at02:36:16
work that morning and he said it was02:36:18
probably the wind blowing against the02:36:20
guitar strings that satisfied my02:36:23
roommate but not me02:36:26
how could the wind pull and strike a02:36:28
single string at a time02:36:30
if the change in temperature or air02:36:32
pressure was warping the neck of the02:36:33
guitar and affecting string tension02:36:36
wouldn't all of the strings be way out02:36:38
of tune02:36:39
to this day i have no explanation for02:36:42
how my guitar rang out on its own in the02:36:44
middle of the night02:36:46
and i will never forget that sound02:37:06
i'm a pretty rational person i need to02:37:09
experience things myself to believe them02:37:12
but i'm still interested in the02:37:13
paranormal because i keep experiencing02:37:16
weird things02:37:18
it all started when i was a child02:37:20
i used to have a lot of weird nightmares02:37:23
but a few stood out more than others02:37:26
especially this one02:37:28
a weird looking figure is following me02:37:30
through the city at night02:37:32
trying to kill me02:37:34
but for some reason i can't seem to come02:37:36
near my apartment02:37:38
until a moment when i look at the sky02:37:41
and see a little guy lying and sitting02:37:43
on a half moon02:37:45
looking and smiling at me02:37:47
after that i'm finally able to come home02:37:50
one of my other experiences is in a02:37:52
catholic church or parish that i often02:37:55
went to with my aunt02:37:57
i can't remember why02:37:59
my mom is protestant so i grew up in02:38:01
this part of christianity02:38:03
i was still a kid not older than eight02:38:06
years old02:38:07
and i grew bored because i had no02:38:09
interest in religion02:38:11
and i'm a hyper active kid02:38:13
so i go to the confessional booth02:38:15
i enter a first time02:38:18
the other side is empty02:38:20
then i go out and re-enter it and02:38:22
there's a beautiful woman smiling at me02:38:24
in a very caring way02:38:26
i smile back and go out again to get in02:38:30
again and it's empty02:38:32
the doors of the booth made a sound when02:38:35
opening and closing02:38:36
so i would have heard her when she came02:38:38
in and out02:38:40
those experiences do not seem scary02:38:43
on the contrary they were kind of02:38:45
peaceful02:38:47
then everything changed for the worse02:38:50
in 2010 i moved to another country02:38:54
and it had been rough on me02:38:56
i had trouble making friends and i was02:38:59
self-conscious because of my weight02:39:01
so i would always make the most of my02:39:03
vacations when i was back in my native02:39:06
country02:39:07
in02:39:08
2013 one night i went to the cinema to02:39:11
watch a horror movie with my friend02:39:14
then we got back at my house to sleep02:39:18
it's mid-summer so it's really warm02:39:20
thus i kept my window wide open we're02:39:24
fast asleep until we hear a big boom02:39:27
like something crashed into the boxes02:39:29
that i have over my wardrobe02:39:31
i just scream for my dad because i think02:39:33
that it's a bird or a bat and i'm scared02:39:37
but my dad says there's nothing but by02:39:40
the loud sound and the fact that the box02:39:42
had moved02:39:44
and that it was a heavy box02:39:46
the bird or bat would have been02:39:47
unconscious02:39:49
but anyway02:39:50
we go back to sleep and the next morning02:39:53
when we wake up02:39:54
i have bruises and scratches all over my02:39:57
body02:39:58
this has never happened before02:40:00
i don't move very much at all when i'm02:40:02
asleep02:40:03
neither does my friend02:40:05
and both of our nails were really short02:40:08
she even tried to scratch me again but02:40:10
it didn't leave the marks02:40:12
at this point we were both uncomfortable02:40:15
so we decided to go sleep at her02:40:16
grandma's house02:40:18
when we were there we slept in her great02:40:20
grandmother's bedroom02:40:21
and just between the two beds there was02:40:24
a cross02:40:26
so again we fall asleep and when we wake02:40:29
up02:40:30
the cross is inclined02:40:32
and i have even more bruises on my body02:40:36
then i go back to my mom in the country02:40:38
that i had moved to02:40:39
the bruises disappeared maybe two to02:40:41
three weeks after i arrived02:40:44
it was from that moment on that my life02:40:46
took another turn for the worse02:40:49
2014.02:40:51
as i said my mom is really religious so02:40:54
she wanted me to take my communion02:40:56
i truly didn't want to and every time i02:40:59
was near a religious place i would feel02:41:01
discomfort02:41:03
but i went through my bible study so we02:41:06
decided that i would have my communion02:41:08
in cameroon where my mom is from02:41:11
weird things started to happen to me02:41:13
there02:41:14
i had to visit a priest prior to the02:41:16
ceremony02:41:17
and he kept saying that something was02:41:19
following me02:41:20
and that it didn't seem to want my02:41:22
well-being02:41:23
but i'm thinking whatever i don't02:41:26
believe in any of this02:41:27
i'm just doing this to make my mom happy02:41:30
so fast forward to the ceremony02:41:33
not even two minutes in02:41:35
i get bored02:41:36
so my eyes keep on scanning the church02:41:39
and they keep moving up so i'm actually02:41:41
looking over the priest's head02:41:44
i see something that looks like an led02:41:47
tinsel catching fire02:41:49
so i started pointing at it luckily they02:41:52
extinguished it quickly02:41:54
as for the rest of the ceremony i felt02:41:56
kind of02:41:57
disconnected02:41:59
then we came back to europe but my02:42:02
anxiety kept getting worse02:42:04
i couldn't even go to school properly02:42:06
but nothing too severe02:42:09
in 2015 i went on a summer vacation at02:42:12
my dad's02:42:14
