Speaker 1: Apogee production.
Speaker 2: Scary creepy stories, and we've actually asked you guys to
Speaker 2: send in yours. I've got one I want to share.
Speaker 2: You've got one as far.
Speaker 1: I've got some from growing up.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it. Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4: Basically, my grandparents have owned the house for over forty
Speaker 4: years now. The house is about one hundred and ten
Speaker 4: years old. During their time living there, my great grandmother
Speaker 4: passed away on the front step. Exactly three days later.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, her dog died on that same step.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 4: A couple of years later, my uncle passed away from
Speaker 4: cancer three days after he's passing. The cat everyone called
Speaker 4: his passed away on the same step as my great
Speaker 4: grandmother and her dog.
Speaker 1: I've got full goosebumps.
Speaker 3: What the hell? Wow?
Speaker 1: Going on?
Speaker 4: Thirty years later, a number of other pets have passed
Speaker 4: away on this same step. For years and years, we
Speaker 4: have never used these steps because of what happened. Now,
Speaker 4: for certain reasons, we have to use these steps. But
Speaker 4: the creepy part is that every time a new person
Speaker 4: walks up the one specific step, they describe a cold
Speaker 4: feeling and get goosebumps.
Speaker 1: Oh man, oh, I'd be ripping it. Down and build.
Speaker 3: It's really creepy.
Speaker 1: Ay, that's really really creepy.
Speaker 4: Some things there's just like no answer form, like the
Speaker 4: way some things happened in the world.
Speaker 3: Hay, Oh my gosh, I'll tell one of mine. I've
Speaker 3: got a couple. I remember.
Speaker 2: I was at my girlfriend's house. I must have been
Speaker 2: about sixteen. I'd nearly got my license and I was
Speaker 2: borrowing her mum's car to go home and get some clothes.
Speaker 2: I was going to stay the night, and she's got
Speaker 2: a really long driveway. Now, as I turned around, because
Speaker 2: I didn't have reverse cameras, turned around to reverse, I
Speaker 2: saw a ghost like figure and it was a girl
Speaker 2: with long, dark hair. The hair was like past her
Speaker 2: bum just standing in the middle of the driveway, and
Speaker 2: I slammed the brakes on screened the whole family.
Speaker 3: That were home came down.
Speaker 2: So it's like, what happened? I had to explain what happened.
Speaker 2: There was a fourteen year old girl that had passed
Speaker 2: away in the house next store.
Speaker 3: Like many and many years ago. The next one neighbor, did.
Speaker 1: You ever see photos of her?
Speaker 3: See if it was like what?
Speaker 2: I didn't see photos, but they said it was a
Speaker 2: teenage girl that had passed. I can still vividly see
Speaker 2: what she looked like. Oh that is she had a
Speaker 2: long dress on, long dark hair, and it was just
Speaker 2: like almost like a whitish darkest shadow.
Speaker 3: It was so creepy.
Speaker 2: That was my first like proper encounter with what I
Speaker 2: think was a ghost.
Speaker 3: Crazy.
Speaker 4: There's nothing in that moment like just the amount of scarcity,
Speaker 4: feel shock.
Speaker 2: I'm not actually scared of ghosts like your spirits, but
Speaker 2: I was just like, whoa, I've just never seen one before.
Speaker 3: It was crazy. I don't think they could hurt you.
Speaker 4: But my mum and dad have got a lot of
Speaker 4: stories basically growing up, my dad's father collected a lot
Speaker 4: of antiques. That was what he did, so we had
Speaker 4: all old antiques like old grandfather clocks.
Speaker 1: Or creepy stuff everywhere.
Speaker 4: And then as well, like my dad when my grandfather
Speaker 4: passed away, took a fair few.
Speaker 1: Of his antiques to our house.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 4: It was insane, like you would wake up in the
Speaker 4: night and you would hear footsteps outside your room. So
Speaker 4: my grandfather wore big like the metal steel cap boots
Speaker 4: all the time. It's fully wore, yeah, so you'd hear
Speaker 4: them and then it would just stop at your bedroom
Speaker 4: and you'd just be looking there's nothing there, And then
Speaker 4: like you'd walk out and the night cupboard doors would
Speaker 4: be open, there'd be spoons on the table, draws open.
Speaker 1: It was a nightly thing.
Speaker 4: It happened regularly at my house at Arundle that we
Speaker 4: lived at. It was so bizarre, and my mom even
Speaker 4: one day has had like different encounters where she's been
Speaker 4: like following thinking it was my dad from behind with
Speaker 4: like a washy barket chatting to him, and then would
Speaker 4: like turn around and then the person would be gone,
Speaker 4: and my dad would walk through the opposite direction and
Speaker 4: be like.
Speaker 1: What are you doing you talking to And my mom
Speaker 1: be like balled.
Speaker 4: She was just like what There's been some weird situations
Speaker 4: growing up in around all those old antigues.
Speaker 2: I remember my nan, actually my pop passed away. On
Speaker 2: his side of the bed, there was this like little lamp.
Speaker 2: It looked like a candle, but he turned it on
Speaker 2: and off. I might have been in the story wrong.
Speaker 2: My Mom's gonna listen to this and get confirmation here,
Speaker 2: but from memory, my Nan turned off this lamp and
Speaker 2: then just kept turning back on. And I think we
Speaker 2: felt like that was him like saying I'm still here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because she'd fully turned off and just would automatically turn
Speaker 2: on at nighttime at the same time. Mum, please confirm
Speaker 2: but from memory twenty years ago, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So creepy crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh my gosh, you've just prompted one more. That's
Speaker 4: like pretty gnarly. So when my dad was young, he
Speaker 4: would have been around like ten. His dad had an
Speaker 4: old rocking chair and he's rocking back and forth in it,
Speaker 4: and he's fallen asleep over the.
Speaker 1: Edge like this is the rocking chair, like with his
Speaker 1: head back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he had this big stabbing pain on the
Speaker 4: sides of his face at his temples, big stabbing pain.
Speaker 4: Opened his eyes and there was an old creepy man
Speaker 4: like over the edge looking at him. He could feel
Speaker 4: his fingernails like digging in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I know. My mom and dad they did
Speaker 1: widdie board.
Speaker 3: Oh my.
Speaker 4: Growing up, they had so many crazy encounters and things
Speaker 4: that they have shared.
Speaker 1: Creepy, so creep Wow.
Speaker 4: I haven't experienced anything like that, like even you seeing that.
Speaker 4: I've never seen anything myself. Yeah, I've heard footsteps and
Speaker 4: stuff like that. I've seen weird things happen, but I
Speaker 4: haven't actually encountered. Like, that's quite unique that you've actually
Speaker 4: seen yeah something, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Crazy all right. Next story.
Speaker 2: In one house, I woke up during the night and
Speaker 2: saw a family of ghosts, a mother, father, son, and
Speaker 2: daughter just standing at the end of my bed. I
Speaker 2: told my sister in the morning, and she went white,
Speaker 2: and then told me that my other sister had said
Speaker 2: that she had seen a family of ghosts in the
Speaker 2: mirror a few days beforehand. Also in another house, my
Speaker 2: sister got home from a boyfriend's house and I was
Speaker 2: asleep in our room downstairs. When she pulled up, the
Speaker 2: light was on, but when she got inside and into
Speaker 2: our room it was off. Also, I was in the
Speaker 2: shower once and had two towels.
Speaker 3: On the rail.
Speaker 2: I grabbed the closest one to wrap my hair up
Speaker 2: so my hair wouldn't drip on everything, then went to
Speaker 2: get the second one that was further away and had
Speaker 2: it been moved over so it was closer to me.
Speaker 2: We found out that the previous owner was a husband
Speaker 2: had hung himself in the garage right next to our
Speaker 2: bedroom and en suite.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it's a couple of creepy ones. You had
Speaker 3: all at once.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Oh Haikiara and Ashley, I've got a scary ghost story
Speaker 2: for your podcast. I'm not someone who gets frined easily,
Speaker 2: but the story I'm about to share had myself and
Speaker 2: partner move out of this house while still having to
Speaker 2: pay rent on it for a month.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: After six months after we'd moved in, I started noticing
Speaker 2: small things, such as something brushing past me while cooking dinner,
Speaker 2: and just a feeling of general presence of someone and
Speaker 2: hearing sounds, all of which I convinced myself was coincidence.
Speaker 2: Then one night I woke up to a man grabbing
Speaker 2: me around my stomach and ribs. My partner was asleep
Speaker 2: next to me, and he woke up to the sound
Speaker 2: of me screaming. There was no actual man there, but
Speaker 2: what we could only assume was a ghost. We settled
Speaker 2: down after a minute or so when we heard a
Speaker 2: cracking type sound on the walls between ours and our
Speaker 2: eighteen month old daughter's bedroom. She'd been fast asleep, but
Speaker 2: seconds after the cracking sound the wall, she screamed, this
Speaker 2: terrible screen like I'd never heard before. It was like
Speaker 2: this man was grabbing her too. I quickly ran into
Speaker 2: her room and brought it into our bed. This is
Speaker 2: only one of the moments we encountered this ghost. We
Speaker 2: moved out six weeks after this particular incident, and we've
Speaker 2: had no issues since moving out.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Scary and having a kid. That prompts one other story
Speaker 2: that I had. I was playing I think it was
Speaker 2: like hide and go Seek with a girlfriend at her
Speaker 2: house and she was trying to find me and I
Speaker 2: was up against this wall. I was up against a
Speaker 2: wall and I felt a hand like grab my back,
Speaker 2: but there was no way for someone to grab my
Speaker 2: back because I was up against a wall.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And I turned around, thinking it was her. I remembered
Speaker 2: I was against a wall and there's no one there.
Speaker 2: I physically felt someone touch my back.
Speaker 3: Wow, it was crazy.
Speaker 4: It was young remembering things like that, Like, you know,
Speaker 4: how much of an impact if you still remember it
Speaker 4: so clearly?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice, but your kids. Oh, I don't know
Speaker 2: if anyone remembers if you followed me on Snapchat or
Speaker 2: even YouTube back in the day.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you followed back then.
Speaker 1: I hate with a monotone.
Speaker 3: He had a lady in the cor Yes, I forgot
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 2: And I watched We watched one of my old flogs
Speaker 2: the other day and he literally was like explaining this
Speaker 2: lady grabbing his knee and she was angry. It was crazy,
Speaker 2: but I remember for ages he'd just be like ladies
Speaker 2: in my cot, ladies in my cot. I remember Nat
Speaker 2: came over and like saged it, and I got some
Speaker 2: other lady to come in and like do some spiritual
Speaker 2: I don't know what she did, but at that house
Speaker 2: there was always a lady in his cot with him.
Speaker 2: And we moved house, I never heard of it again.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And they say that younger people are more open. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel like it's one of those things are more
Speaker 4: closed off you other more you don't.
Speaker 2: Definitely that went on for years, the whole time in
Speaker 2: that house from him like talking.
Speaker 3: He would always talk about this lady in the cot.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Sometimes he would say she was angry, otherwise he would
Speaker 2: just say the ladies there, like the ladies in the cot.
Speaker 2: I have no idea who that is, because I don't
Speaker 2: really have anyone close to me, like I had a
Speaker 2: grand that past, but I wasn't super close with her.
Speaker 2: I thinks she'd be like popping on.
Speaker 1: Over maybe she's just watching over ye weird.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 2: When my little brother was about five I would have
Speaker 2: been about eight, I remember him always having trouble sleeping
Speaker 2: in his own room. He used to say that he
Speaker 2: was scared. Mum told us that one night she was
Speaker 2: checking on us all before she went to bed, my
Speaker 2: brother was sitting up in his bed in the dark talking.
Speaker 2: When Mom asked him who he was talking to, he said,
Speaker 2: super casually, the girl at the end of my bed.
Speaker 2: Mum was totally freaked out, but tried to play it
Speaker 2: off as maybe he was asleep and dreaming. When she
Speaker 2: asked him about it the next morning, he told her
Speaker 2: all about the girl that sits at the end of
Speaker 2: the bed and talks to him at night time. He's
Speaker 2: twenty five now and doesn't seem to remember it. But
Speaker 2: his old room is now my younger sister's room, and
Speaker 2: he refuses to go in there alone, says it's creepy
Speaker 2: and gives him weird vibes.
Speaker 4: I can't believe how many people I have had like
Speaker 4: usual encharacters. Yeah, okay, next one, oh me. My sister
Speaker 4: and my best friend did a Ouiji board and we
Speaker 4: had the entire dining table filled with spirit. One spirit
Speaker 4: was saying she was my great Annie's friend and she
Speaker 4: had been watching over my sister through her cancer. Later
Speaker 4: my mum confirmed her name and her relationship, which matched
Speaker 4: what the spirit said. Me and my sister have never
Speaker 4: heard of her before.
Speaker 3: Well, would you do it with you?
Speaker 2: Bought, No, you wouldn't. No, say let's do it in
Speaker 2: the hotel. She fuck that, Oh, because I how to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 4: Well, you have to close it and stuff properly, otherwise
Speaker 4: they follow you, they stay with you.
Speaker 2: Many years ago, when my grandma passed away, I returned
Speaker 2: to New Zealand with my dad and sisters for her funeral.
Speaker 3: We traveled down.
Speaker 2: Auckland to Hawk's Bay and arrived late in the evening
Speaker 2: to the family home where she had passed and where
Speaker 2: the rest of the family was staying. Before going into
Speaker 2: the house, I was drawn to the backyard, where she
Speaker 2: had a beautiful garden that was her pride and joy,
Speaker 2: filled with roses, grapevines along the side of the fences,
Speaker 2: a lemon tree, and every vegetable that you could think of.
Speaker 2: This was my happy place whenever I visited. After a
Speaker 2: while of taking in the feeling of being close with her,
Speaker 2: my intuition was telling me to go into the garage.
Speaker 2: It had a roller door at the front and an
Speaker 2: open doorway on the right side. As I walked through
Speaker 2: the side doorway, I was filled with a force I
Speaker 2: couldn't explain other than a pushing feeling, as if someone
Speaker 2: was literally walking through me as I walked through, then
Speaker 2: an instant feeling of love, happiness, and peace. I know
Speaker 2: that it was her way of letting me know that
Speaker 2: she was at peace and she knew.
Speaker 3: I was there.
Speaker 2: Ever since that day, at random moments, I have two
Speaker 2: swallows that will appear, and I know it's my mar
Speaker 2: and Granddad keeping watching over me. Oh oh, that's beautiful,
Speaker 2: that's cute.
Speaker 4: I was sixteen and on work experience. I used to
Speaker 4: work on one side of the train track and my
Speaker 4: friends got a job at the other side of the
Speaker 4: train tracks. I would meet them there for lunch on
Speaker 4: their side each day. It was in a dodgy suburb
Speaker 4: where the law courts were. I was walking back through
Speaker 4: the park I usually walked through. It was so lovely,
Speaker 4: but no one hardly walked there. As I looked up
Speaker 4: out of nowhere, there was an old lady walking towards me.
Speaker 1: She told me to turn back and walk with her
Speaker 1: as there were two people hiding behind a tree.
Speaker 4: So I walked back with her to go another When
Speaker 4: we got back to the main road, we went our
Speaker 4: separate ways. As I walked off, I turned around and
Speaker 4: she was nowhere to be seen. To this day, I
Speaker 4: think this.
Speaker 1: Was one of my guardian angels or guides.
Speaker 3: So it was a ghost, I'm guessing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so like walk the other way, So somebody's protecting her.
Speaker 3: That's incredible, I know.
Speaker 4: Wow, give me goosebumps all these stories.
Speaker 2: My oldest brother married a beautiful Indigenous lady and her
Speaker 2: family are very spiritual. I stayed at my sister in
Speaker 2: law's mum's place for a night and heard some footsteps
Speaker 2: coming up the hallway. I thought it was my niece
Speaker 2: and nephew getting out of bed and running around as
Speaker 2: they were toddlers, so I sat up and told them
Speaker 2: to go back to bed. As I looked at the
Speaker 2: doorway of the room I was in, I seen a
Speaker 2: lady standing there in a white dressing gown. I'd never
Speaker 2: seen her in my life. But I could also see
Speaker 2: that she wasn't a full solid human. She was very flowy,
Speaker 2: and faint. That's how I remember the girl.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: I knew right away it must have been a spirit,
Speaker 2: and I was like, nope, ain't nobody got time for that.
Speaker 2: So I got under the covers and continuously said please
Speaker 2: go away, Please go away. I was totally freaking out.
Speaker 2: I got up the next morning and told my brothers
Speaker 2: mother in law what had happened. She asked me if
Speaker 2: the lady was wearing a white dressing gown. I said, yes,
Speaker 2: exactly what she was wearing. She said that it was
Speaker 2: her mum and that I was staying in her mum's
Speaker 2: old bedroom. I never slept in that bedroom again, but
Speaker 2: the house has always terrified me, as I would always
Speaker 2: hear footsteps in the hallway. And one day my nephew
Speaker 2: woke up and said to his Auntie on his mom's side,
Speaker 2: I saw a ghost last night. She told me her
Speaker 2: name was Auntie Daphne. That was a great aunt of
Speaker 2: his that he had never met or been told about before.
Speaker 2: They had been murdered years and years before he was
Speaker 2: even born.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Another time at my brother's house, him and his family
Speaker 2: were watching a movie in their loungerom, which was separate
Speaker 2: to the kitchen. They heard a big bang in the kitchen,
Speaker 2: so my brother got up and went into the kitchen
Speaker 2: to see a white board they had on the wall,
Speaker 2: now on the floor on the other side of the room.
Speaker 2: He was feeling really fed up with weird things going
Speaker 2: on in the house, like banging on the walls and
Speaker 2: now this, and he was kind of skeptical about spirits,
Speaker 2: even though his wife is such a big believer and
Speaker 2: did a lot of work with spirits and psychics. So
Speaker 2: he said, I'm sick of you chicken shit. Spirit's banging
Speaker 2: on our walls and being annoying and now throwing stuff
Speaker 2: on our wall. You're nothing but chicken shit. You never
Speaker 2: show your face. Then he left the kitchen came back
Speaker 2: to the kitchen fifteen minutes later to find a picture
Speaker 2: of a chicken head drawn in Nico pen huge on
Speaker 2: his kitchen table. He was so spun out, went to
Speaker 2: the lounge room and asked if anyone had left the
Speaker 2: lounge room, and they said no, they'd all been there
Speaker 2: watching a movie and not left. He'd seriously pissed off
Speaker 2: a spirit calling them a chicken shit, so they drew
Speaker 2: a chicken head on his table. Anytime I went to
Speaker 2: his house. It was just hectic energy vibes so creepy.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's really I think the spirits would be like
Speaker 3: mean like that.
Speaker 4: You can get bad ones baby, oh yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 4: Especially there's different burial grounds and stuff that like houses
Speaker 4: have been built on. This was like my grandfather's one.
Speaker 4: He was on a burial ground.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So yeah, there was just like nhe things buying a house.
Speaker 1: On found out years later. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: And some people just not like magic, feel murdered. Like
Speaker 4: some people are angry, true, or if they didn't get like,
Speaker 4: you know, an't the goodbye, they want it, or they're
Speaker 4: just like valid, your kah's valid.
Speaker 3: It valid
