1
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,640
Therésa: Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to the tenth episode of

2
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Therésa: Haunting Purgatory's premiere podcast, where we share original, one hundred

3
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Therésa: percent real stories about mortal encounters with the paranormal. Our

4
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Therésa: little old podcast is officially double digits today. Now, I

5
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Therésa: know that's not some big, crazy milestone or anything, but

6
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,760
Therésa: as my therapist used to preach, it's about celebrating the

7
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,960
Therésa: little wins. Of course, she was referring to managing my

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,640
Therésa: Real Housewives addiction, but I think the sentiment applies here too,

9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Therésa: and for what it's worth, by the end, I was

10
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,280
Therésa: only watching Salt Lake, Yes, by far, the best of

11
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Therésa: the franchise. Now, I'm not usually one to get sappy on main ,

12
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,400
Therésa: but I'm really proud of what we've accomplished in the

13
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,240
Therésa: last ten episodes. A lot of people have been truly terrified,

14
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,720
Therésa: maybe even had life changing experiences that haunt them to

15
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,360
Therésa: this day. But what matters more is that I've really grown.

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Therésa: When I died and found out I'd be stuck in

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,520
Therésa: Purgatory hosting this podcast for the rest of eternity, or

18
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Therésa: until my unfinished business was finished, I kind of freaked,

19
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Therésa: but after a meltdown in my rage room, My rage

20
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,080
Therésa: room is an abandoned tuberculosis hospital where I go and

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,920
Therésa: bang on pipes to get my aggression out. I came

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,080
Therésa: to terms with my new reality and decided to turn

23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Therésa: my lemons into lemon infused charcoal detox water

24
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,000
Len: (MUMBLES)

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,480
Therésa: It's Gwyneth's take on lemonade,  Len.

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:55,680
Len: (MUMBLES)

27
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Therésa: Oh my god, Len. Keep up. But I have to say

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,560
Therésa: I've really learned a lot, not just about the afterlife,

29
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,079
Therésa: but about expressing myself in a non visual medium. For example,

30
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Therésa: as a spirit, I don't show up in photos anymore.

31
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Therésa: So if I want people to know I spent my

32
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Therésa: weekend haunting the VIP section of Pacha Ibiza with Liberace

33
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,520
Therésa: and River Phoenix, I have to mention it repeatedly. You

34
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,200
Therésa: could say I'm feeling pretty at peace these days, almost

35
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,680
Therésa: like my business is finished. Yep, don't tell my caseworker

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:40,200
Therésa: Sharon that my business is feeling pretty finished. I thought

37
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,880
Therésa: that might work, but okay, no, I get it. You

38
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,560
Therésa: gotta trust the process. Anyway, Now we're gonna hear from Karlyn,

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,680
Therésa: who is every supernatural podcast host dream listener, because well

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,239
Therésa: she can actually hear us.

41
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,840
STORY A: I'm not really sure what to call it. When it starts,

42
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,280
STORY A: it will go in and out, like you're popping your

43
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,359
STORY A: head above water and then going under again, like when

44
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,520
STORY A: water rushes into your ear. I mostly hear voices, but

45
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,240
STORY A: it's hard to distinguish what they're saying because it's usually

46
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,839
STORY A: many voices. But it's just me hearing this. No one

47
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,320
STORY A: else can hear it. This has happened before to me,

48
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,960
STORY A: so I kind of just like brush it off. But

49
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,680
STORY A: this one time it really scared me. Hi I'm Karlyn.

50
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,080
STORY A: I think that ghost might be trying to communicate with me.

51
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,760
STORY A: This was a couple of years ago. I was in

52
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,400
STORY A: my apartment. It was just a normal night in New

53
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,440
STORY A: York City. My boyfriend and I had gone to bed,

54
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,880
STORY A: but the light was still on in the living room.

55
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,320
STORY A: It's not like we shut everything off. We were in

56
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,680
STORY A: bed for maybe ten minutes and then he dozed off.

57
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,840
STORY A: My apartment's a railroad apartment. There's a straight line going

58
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,680
STORY A: from the left. There's a backyard, and then there is

59
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,440
STORY A: my bedroom, then the living room, and then there's a

60
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:27,719
STORY A: really long hallway where the kitchen is in. I had

61
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,760
STORY A: my eyes closed, but I was awake, and I hear

62
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:38,560
STORY A: this seventies rock music playing, and I also hear people

63
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,440
STORY A: laughing and talking. The voices get like louder, like someone's

64
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000
STORY A: like shouting and excitement, and it sounds like it's a

65
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:56,480
STORY A: karaoke party. So I opened my eyes. It's silent. There's

66
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,040
STORY A: no party going on. The light was still on in

67
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,159
STORY A: the living room, but nothing else. Nothing was on. We

68
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,000
STORY A: didn't have a TV or radio on. It was weird,

69
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,600
STORY A: but I brush it off and I'm just laying down

70
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,920
STORY A: like awake you know, when your eyes are just closed,

71
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,800
STORY A: but you're not really sleeping, you're just on the cusp

72
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:28,760
STORY A: of it. And then my ears pop. The best way

73
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,279
STORY A: for me to describe it is when you go under

74
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,599
STORY A: water and the water fills your ears and it sounds empty,

75
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,599
STORY A: kind of like an echo of nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

76
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:53,560
STORY A: And then it changes. There's radio static. It sounds like

77
00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:04,040
STORY A: someone is changing the radio station , like someone's trying

78
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,080
STORY A: to look for a channel. And then it'll be like voices,

79
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,160
STORY A: and then it'll change again to something else, and it's

80
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:17,720
STORY A: very quick, and then I hear a very clear nine

81
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,720
STORY A: one one call. I hear the operator first the address

82
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,440
STORY A: of your emergency typical operator, like where are you, like,

83
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:33,680
STORY A: what can I do for you? You know, It's a

84
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,359
STORY A: woman and she's very frantic. She is trapped in a

85
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,240
STORY A: house and the nine one one operator asks her if

86
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,840
STORY A: someone is in the house with her. She says, yes,

87
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,680
STORY A: he's in here. He's trapped me in the house. I

88
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,200
STORY A: can hear this woman's panic and it kind of just

89
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,440
STORY A: escalated to her screaming for help, and it's so loud,

90
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,440
STORY A: and then it changes very fast. Other voices start to

91
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,360
STORY A: come in. Some are speaking different languages. Some are whispery

92
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,160
STORY A: and very fast, like they're rushed to say what they're saying,

93
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,280
STORY A: very creepy. And then some are really loud, but it's

94
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,960
STORY A: kind of muffled and far away, so it's hard to

95
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,440
STORY A: make out what they're saying. And it's just like a

96
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,880
STORY A: whirlwind of voices trying to talk to me. I can't

97
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
STORY A: hear what they're saying. They're all talking over each other.

98
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,000
STORY A: And then it gets louder until everyone is shouting in

99
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,160
STORY A: my ears. It's so loud it hurts my ears, and

100
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:44,440
STORY A: then I start to freak out. There's a weight in

101
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:50,240
STORY A: the room. I can sense their presence right next to me.

102
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,520
STORY A: It's close, like it's right on top of me. It

103
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,880
STORY A: gets really overwhelming, so I just feel like I need

104
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,280
STORY A: to pull myself out of it, and it feels like

105
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,200
STORY A: it takes a long time. But all I do is

106
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,200
STORY A: just open my eyes and everything stops. I'm awake. My

107
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,720
STORY A: body's awake, my mind is awake, my adrenaline is rushing.

108
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,800
STORY A: And then I roll over and I look up right

109
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:28,600
STORY A: above me is this shadow figure floating above me. I

110
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:34,440
STORY A: was frozen in fear and awe. I've never seen a

111
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,439
STORY A: shadow person. It was massive, the very tall male shape,

112
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:47,720
STORY A: and it didn't seem friendly. I'm just in shock staring

113
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,439
STORY A: at it, and it starts to move towards me. I

114
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,679
STORY A: was like, oh my god, I can't believe what I'm

115
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,400
STORY A: actually seeing right now. And it's not really dark in

116
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,920
STORY A: the room, you know, there's light coming in from the

117
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,840
STORY A: living room, so I'm seeing it. It's not my shadow

118
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,120
STORY A: or anyone else's shadow. I don't take my eyes off it.

119
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,319
STORY A: I just start hitting my boyfriend, trying to wake him up.

120
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,440
STORY A: I want him to see what I'm seeing, but I

121
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:22,280
STORY A: also need protection. He just like grabs me and holds

122
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,679
STORY A: me and he's like ssh, like relax, and I like

123
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,160
STORY A: curl into him. I kind of take a deep breath,

124
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,600
STORY A: and then I look back up at the ceiling. The

125
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:40,760
STORY A: shadow figure is gone. It scared me. It was probably

126
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,120
STORY A: the scariest thing that's happened to me in a very

127
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,559
STORY A: long time. This wasn't a night terror, and it wasn't

128
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,760
STORY A: sleep paralysis. I've told this story to my friends. They

129
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,040
STORY A: think that it's spirits trying to communicate with me, like

130
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640
STORY A: I'm almost a channel for these spirits or whatever. On the

131
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,280
STORY A: other side, I do think I'm sensitive to it, and

132
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,880
STORY A: I'm open to it, whether I want to be or not.

133
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,120
STORY A: But I'm scared, and I don't know how to get

134
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,400
STORY A: over my fear and really open up and listen to

135
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,880
STORY A: see if I can actually hear what they have to say.

136
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,640
STORY A: Because it's so many voices at one time it's overwhelming.

137
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,560
STORY A: But I felt like if I was less scared and

138
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,920
STORY A: more open to it, the voices would come through more clearly.

139
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,880
STORY A: In those moments, I feel very vulnerable, like I'm open

140
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,240
STORY A: for good things, but I'm also open for bad things,

141
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,360
STORY A: and I feel the bad things, like I feel the

142
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,640
STORY A: bad energy and I'm like, okay, I need to close

143
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,120
STORY A: it off. I feel like I've never had a good

144
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,319
STORY A: experience it's more like very neutral or it's very bad.

145
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,439
STORY A: I am interested in finding out if I am a medium,

146
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,959
STORY A: but it's also kind of scary.

147
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,840
Therésa: Karlyn Girl, tune into our channel. It's a party. No

148
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,240
Therésa: shadow people over here, just two well meaning spirits and

149
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,040
Therésa: one poorly adapted demonic intern celebrating a small but mighty

150
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Therésa: milestone in their other worldly career endeavors. I'm sorry, Naomi,

151
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Therésa: but your work ethic is inconsistent and your disregard for

152
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,480
Therésa: authority is troubling. Right, So I want to give you

153
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Therésa: my rose, bud and thorn of this whole experience so far,

154
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,079
Therésa: I would say my rose was episode eight when I

155
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,719
Therésa: learned about the afterlife dating apps, and my thorn was

156
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Therésa: probably in episode six when I accidentally alienated Jimmy Buffet's

157
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Therésa: entire fan base. Len, maybe we just delete that one?

158
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,839
Len: (MUMBLES)

159
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,480
Therésa: Ugh, fine. Well, my bud, which is something I'm looking

160
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Therésa: forward to that has blooming potential, is continuing to learn

161
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,680
Therésa: more about all the different types of spiritual entities out

162
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,800
Therésa: there and the creative ways they inflict suffering and terror

163
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,880
Therésa: on their human targets, and the potential for free stuff

164
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,600
Therésa: from pr people. Yeah, we like free stuff.

165
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Therésa: Now, if you have any favorite moments from the last

Therésa: and while you do, listen to Alex, who continues our

168
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,120
Therésa: celebratory theme of the auditory Haunt with this next story.

169
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,200
STORY B: I've heard a lot of the paranormal sounding stories from people.

170
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,199
STORY B: Part of me always was like, oh, man, I kind

171
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,080
STORY B: of wish something like that would happen to me. When

172
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,680
STORY B: it did, I instantly regret ever having a desire for

173
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,560
STORY B: something like this to happen to me. Our first thought was,

174
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:03,040
STORY B: something is behind us. We saw darkness. We can't see there,

175
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,840
STORY B: but whatever is there can see us. It's definitely very haunting.

176
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,040
STORY B: We make a run for it. We booked it. My

177
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,840
STORY B: name is Alex and one night in a forest in Spain,

178
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,720
STORY B: I heard something scream from behind me and it still

179
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:32,760
STORY B: haunts me to this day. It was in June of

180
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,480
STORY B: twenty thirteen. It took place in a small coastal farmtown

181
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,040
STORY B: in Galicia, which is in the northwest of Spain. I

182
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,280
STORY B: was about twenty four years old at the time. I

183
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,119
STORY B: have a lot of family in Spain. My mom is Spanish.

184
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,480
STORY B: Growing up going to Spain, it was something we did

185
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,080
STORY B: almost every summer to see family and stuff, and you know,

186
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,679
STORY B: it's a really unique, beautiful town. So it took a

187
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,880
STORY B: couple of weeks off of work and with a really

188
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,800
STORY B: good friend of mine. I think it had been like

189
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,880
STORY B: a couple of years since I had last went at

190
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,920
STORY B: that time. You know, I've been going there almost every

191
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,559
STORY B: summer of my life and wanted to share that with

192
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:22,480
STORY B: somebody else. So we made our way there. We brought

193
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,960
STORY B: our nice camera, so we were really hoping that we

194
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,680
STORY B: would get to practice some night photography while we were there.

195
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,840
STORY B: I've always felt very safe there. We always used to say,

196
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,280
STORY B: oh my god, this is a small town. Whatever bad

197
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:42,200
STORY B: could happen here. When we were young, we used to

198
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,160
STORY B: take night walks as a family, and we were just

199
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,760
STORY B: always kind of just think, oh my gosh, like, you know,

200
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,280
STORY B: this is so safe. We never heard anything about animals,

201
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,600
STORY B: We never heard anything about people coming through and doing

202
00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:01,200
STORY B: any harm to anybody. We had about four days left

203
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,520
STORY B: on our trip, and you know, we really wanted to

204
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
STORY B: test out the camera. We had never done night photography before.

205
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,400
STORY B: We bought a remote shutter for it. The first night

206
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,080
STORY B: we wanted to go take pictures of this lighthouse they

207
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,160
STORY B: call it Alfaro. When you think of your traditional lighthouse,

208
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,120
STORY B: you think of the shape and you know the beacon

209
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,920
STORY B: at the top, and this one just it was a

210
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,880
STORY B: unique architecture. It's something a lot of people come to visit.

211
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,800
STORY B: This is, you know, this big rectangular building with a

212
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:38,880
STORY B: beacon on top that you know spins. Underneath the lighthouse,

213
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,360
STORY B: You have these like tunnels and these bunkers that were

214
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,840
STORY B: built during the Spanish Civil War. They were used as

215
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,480
STORY B: lookout points to see if the French were invading. It's

216
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,480
STORY B: been there for almost one hundred years or something. It

217
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,080
STORY B: just seemed like a natural thing to take night photos of.

218
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,160
STORY B: I would say you to get there from my house,

219
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,240
STORY B: it's got to be about forty five minutes to an

220
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:13,520
STORY B: hour walk. It's not too far away. You know, you

221
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,400
STORY B: have to walk through the town, you know, you walk

222
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,000
STORY B: past all these houses and then you get to the

223
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,360
STORY B: entrance of the forest. At night, you see the beacon

224
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,480
STORY B: of light spinning, so it's almost kind of like it

225
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,480
STORY B: draws you. It's pretty much a straight shot, you know,

226
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,440
STORY B: you just kind of follow the road. You get to

227
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,440
STORY B: the forest, and then that takes you up to the

228
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,280
STORY B: cliffs and then you make a right and you just kind

229
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,560
STORY B: of follow the road all the way and then kind

230
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,600
STORY B: of curves around and then you just kind of walk.

231
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,000
STORY B: Honestly, The biggest danger you might have a crazy spaniard just

232
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:52,240
STORY B: driving super fast on that road. First night went absolutely amazing.

233
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,520
STORY B: You know. We visited some of the bunkers underneath and

234
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,360
STORY B: we got some great photos. It was a moonless night.

235
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,080
STORY B: It was so dark, yet in a way, the sky

236
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,800
STORY B: was so bright with stars. I had never seen so

237
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,560
STORY B: many stars in my life, just like a mess of stars.

238
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,480
STORY B: We decided to come back at two in the morning.

239
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,480
STORY B: When we were walking back, we even stopped in the

240
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,959
STORY B: forest take a few night photos in there. So the

241
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080
STORY B: next night we were like, let's do this again, let's

242
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:28,160
STORY B: go do more. It was the same situation. Couldn't see

243
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,399
STORY B: the moon, mess of stars in the sky. We were

244
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,800
STORY B: out there a little longer than the night before, because

245
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,880
STORY B: you just lose yourself when you're doing this one shot.

246
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,200
STORY B: You do a three minute exposure and you just keep

247
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,720
STORY B: doing that until you get one next thing. You know,

248
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,720
STORY B: oh wow, it's about three now I really should be

249
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:51,080
STORY B: walking home now. We're walking back now through the forest.

250
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,000
STORY B: Everything's fine. We had a little radio with us that

251
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,040
STORY B: we were playing music, and all of a sudden we

252
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:07,520
STORY B: hear this loud, high pitched, female sounding shriek from very

253
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:18,320
STORY B: close behind us. Obviously, we got extremely startled. We just

254
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,040
STORY B: stopped in our tracks and both of us kind of

255
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,720
STORY B: whipped our bodies around to look and it was just

256
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:33,760
STORY B: darkness behind us. My mind was just racing and I'm

257
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,800
STORY B: trying to kind of give a facade like okay, okay, but on

258
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,879
STORY B: the inside, I'm like, something is about to emerge from

259
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,920
STORY B: the darkness, and the most I can do is buy

260
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,439
STORY B: five seconds for my friend here. We just didn't know

261
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,879
STORY B: what to do. And then another scream. It must have

262
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,280
STORY B: been fifteen seconds after. At that point, we do our

263
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,240
STORY B: best impression of an Olympic sprinter. We turn around and

264
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:06,120
STORY B: we just run. I'll never forget. As we're running, I hear

265
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,040
STORY B: the stream two more times. We get to the entrance

266
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,280
STORY B: of the forest and hear it again, but it sounds

267
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:20,200
STORY B: further enough. Adrenaline is pumping. I remember my heart beating

268
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,720
STORY B: so fast. It just felt like once we got to the

269
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,680
STORY B: entrance of the forest, we didn't need to run anymore.

270
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,679
STORY B: The screams were way behind us now, didn't seem like

271
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,000
STORY B: anything was following us. We felt safe at that point.

272
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,159
STORY B: We made our way back into the town and I

273
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,240
STORY B: remember all of the neighbors dogs barking, howling. Normally the

274
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,919
STORY B: dogs will bark at you if you walk by, but

275
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,360
STORY B: I remember that night like you could just hear all

276
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,119
STORY B: of the dogs barking from all the houses. I remember

277
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,959
STORY B: we were walking by my uncle's house and he had

278
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,840
STORY B: this really nice dog that would usually come and greet us,

279
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,840
STORY B: and I remember we kind of walked by and the

280
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,960
STORY B: dog came up, but the dog seemed very tense and

281
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,200
STORY B: almost kind of retreated a little bit and was growling.

282
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,919
STORY B: You know, I felt like we got a lot of

283
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,199
STORY B: bad energy on us right now, and it was agitating

284
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:22,440
STORY B: all the animals. I felt terrible. You know, I bring

285
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,480
STORY B: my really really great friend to Spain with me and

286
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,399
STORY B: tell her family, don't worry, I'll keep her safe. Well,

287
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,959
STORY B: it was so scary about it was just how close

288
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,680
STORY B: it was to us, and just how all four times

289
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,760
STORY B: that I heard the scream it was the same tone,

290
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,480
STORY B: the same length, the same. It just was definitely very haunting.

291
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,760
STORY B: When we got back to the house, we tried to

292
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,360
STORY B: think about it practically. Well, what could this have really been?

293
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,199
STORY B: You know, it felt paranormal. But you know, we're just

294
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,560
STORY B: trying to think, maybe it was an animal? Maybe it

295
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,920
STORY B: was a bird? I had never heard of any animals.

296
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
STORY B: I don't think I've ever really even seen deer in

297
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,320
STORY B: that forest. All my life growing up, nobody ever said, oh,

298
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,360
STORY B: watch out, there's big cats or something. It was certainly

299
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,159
STORY B: the most bizarre thing I had personally ever experienced in

300
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,240
STORY B: my life. With a female sounding scream, we would always

301
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,600
STORY B: call her the Little Banshee Woman of Spain. From what

302
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,440
STORY B: I know about banshee's, it's like screaming ghosts. You hear

303
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,560
STORY B: the scream and you want to get away from the scream.

304
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,879
STORY B: You know, some people ask me, do you think that

305
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,080
STORY B: the ghost put a curse on you or something? And

306
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,760
STORY B: I'm like, you know, I can't tell for sure, but

307
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:48,360
STORY B: hopefully I've done enough to lift that curse. I can't lie.

308
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,719
STORY B: I'm still a bit skeptical, but in my heart, it

309
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,320
STORY B: really did feel paranormal to me. I truly believe people

310
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,399
STORY B: experience things that are just out of this world.

311
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,280
Therésa: Spooky, yes, But the Little Banshee Woman of Spain is

312
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,560
