3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,080
Therésa: We'll be bringing you different ghost stories each week, straight

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,840
Therésa: from the person who experienced it firsthand. Some will be unsettling...

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Story Clip: When she was with her imaginary friend, she would turn

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,880
Story Clip: and look at you, and you felt like something else

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Story Clip: was looking at you too.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,280
Therésa: Some unnerving...

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Story Clip: The more I looked at it, I realized that the

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,280
Story Clip: thumb looked more like a claw, like a demon.

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,440
Therésa: Some even downright terrifying...

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,640
Story Clip: The things that I saw, heard felt in that house were

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,639
Story Clip: purely demonic.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,560
Therésa: But all of them will be totally true.

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Story Clip: In order to make that upside -down handprint, it'd have

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,800
Story Clip: to be climbing down from the ceiling, as if somebody

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,640
Story Clip: crawled down the wall and onto the couch.

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,480
Story Clip: And I had said, hey Susie, it's time for dinner, and she

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,680
Story Clip: told me that her imaginary friend told me to stay out.

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840
Story Clip: And as I went to step into that room, the

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,040
Story Clip: door slammed in my face. The dad kicks the door.

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Story Clip: Little Susie was just sitting there and just looked over

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Story Clip: and said, I told you he didn't want you to

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:23,760
Story Clip: come in.

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,319
Story Clip: It was about eleven -thirty, and I got into bed, and suddenly, the whole bad shot up.

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Story Clip: It was like Hercules punched the floor beneath the bed

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,760
Story Clip: that had the power to crush flesh and bone. I

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,800
Story Clip: had been living with something that easily could have killed me.

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,600
Therésa: So be sure to come back each week for more

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Therésa: supernatural stories of the unreal, unexplained, and unknown that will

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,880
Therésa: send shivers down your spine and have you screaming, "what

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,600
Therésa: the hell Therésa!" Just like my stepdad Jared used to

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,640
Therésa: say when I would let the dog chew on his slippers.

34
