1 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: Hello, my friends, Welcome back to another episode of Haunting. 2 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: It has been crazy in Purgatory, you guys. I had 3 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: no idea, but the afterlife goes hard for Saint Patti's Day. Typically, 4 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a big Saint Patty's girl, ever since the 5 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: year I got kicked in the face by a belligerent 6 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: Irish answer. They do not mess around with that front 7 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: click move. But here it's a different beast, and I 8 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: mean that literally. Saint Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland. 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 1: But of course we're all undead abominations, which doesn't really fly. 10 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: So in Purgatory we celebrate what's called Feast of the 11 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: Our Talk Day. It's basically the same thing, only it 12 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: falls the day after Saint Patti's Day, and instead of green, 13 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: everyone wears red. There's a whole lore can't really get into. 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: Right now. 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: We need to get this episode started so Len and 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: I can get back to the festivities, which reminds me. 17 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: I got a memo from HR that I'm supposed to 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: read to the staff, So Len, I guess, attention employees, 19 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: this Feast of the Our Talk Day, we would like 20 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: to remind everyone that you are expected to adhere to 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: all workplace protocol and protections. There should be no excessive 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: revelry during office hours. In in an effort to avoid 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: last year's misfortune, all living interlopers must remain fully intact 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: while on the premises. Thank you in human resources, boo, 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: who cares? We are getting after it today, no rules. 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: In fact, we can do whatever we want because Len 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: is the feast of the our talk day parade. Marshall, Hey, 28 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: it's okay, Len, Kat's out of the bag. I saw 29 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: the scepter and your little plaid skirt, I saw the 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: whole get up. Well that Tartan, well, I know the 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: walk of the Screaming Band Cheese can't start without you. 32 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: So let's get this show on the road, so you 33 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: can get that show on the road. Our first story 34 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: today is from Massachusetts, a state with a rich Irish history, 35 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: where our friend Alexandra spent over fifteen years in her 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: own personal satanic panic. 37 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: Take a listen. 38 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 4: I am Alexandra, and I wasn't crazy. 39 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: My house was haunted. 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: When I was twelve, my family and I moved out 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 4: of this apartment complex outside of Boston. When my mom 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: and my siblings went to go check out the house, 43 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 4: nothing seemed out of the ordinary or anything like that. 44 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: Then the realtor led them to the basement and they. 45 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 4: Saw satanic symbols in the wall in gyed candlewacks. 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: It was red and it was black, and it was 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 3: dripping down the walls. 48 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 4: It also had been splattered on the floor. It looked 49 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 4: like someone was doing ritualistic things. But because I grew 50 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 4: up in a religious home, my mom wasn't tooorried about it. 51 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 4: She was like, I'll just call my friends from church. 52 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: He'll just come over and we'll pray over it. 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: She bought the house, and that's exactly what she did. 54 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: They formed a circle in the basement, held hands and 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 4: they prayed. 56 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 3: In her mind, everything was good. 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: But it never felt like a safe space to me. 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: It just wasn't a very inviting house. We had two 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: sets of stairs. The one on the right led to 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: the kitchen, living room, and then a long hallway that 61 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 4: had a bunch of bedrooms and a bathroom. The other 62 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 4: set of stairs on the left led down into the basement, 63 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: which had three bedrooms. 64 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: A bathroom, and the laundry unit. 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 4: There was one night I was in the basement next 66 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 4: to the laundry unit, was like this really big closet, 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: and I heard growling from behind the door. I thought 68 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: maybe it was one of my dogs. I put my 69 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 4: ear to the door, and the growling intensified. It was 70 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: guttural and it was deep. 71 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: I was too afraid to look. 72 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 4: I ran upstairs. I grabbed my mom. 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: I was like, can you please check if there's something 74 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 3: behind the door. I think that there is. 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: We walked back downstairs. 76 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: She opened the door. 77 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 4: There was nothing there. Things gradually got worse and worse 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 4: and worse. I started to consistently hear things, not just 79 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 4: the growling. I'd hear and knocking from the wall that 80 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 4: was behind my headboard. I would hear scratching on the walls. 81 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 4: It sounded like a claw slowly scratching down the wall. 82 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 4: I knew it wasn't my dog because my dog was 83 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 4: always next to me. The knocking and the scratching would 84 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: always come in threes. 85 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: I was terrified. 86 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: Every single night after these experiences, I would run to 87 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: my mom's bedroom because I was so afraid. I didn't 88 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 4: know what to do. 89 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: I'd try to sleep in her room. 90 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: She didn't really know what to say to me, because 91 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: she herself wasn't experiencing this. She was just like, Oh, 92 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: this is probably one of those things that like child's 93 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 4: experiencing nightmares. My mom decided to take me to a 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: neurologist to get a better understanding of what I was experiencing. 95 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: They did several sleep studies. The doctors couldn't find anything 96 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: off about my sleep or my brain activity. They essentially 97 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: were just like, she's a child, it's probably her imagination. 98 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: I was frustrated and I was angry because they didn't 99 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 4: believe me. I very much knew what I was experiencing 100 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 4: was real. I was like, Okay, I'm just going to 101 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 4: keep this to myself and learn how to deal with 102 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: this because there's nothing that they can do for me. 103 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: When I was in high school, my sister moved out 104 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: of the house, and so I ended up moving down 105 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 4: into the basement into her room because it was much 106 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 4: more spacious than mine. That's where the Satanic symbol was. 107 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: The energy of that room was very heavy. 108 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 4: Once I roped it to my sister's room, I started 109 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 4: to experience physical things. I'd wake up with three scratches 110 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 4: on my body, my arms, my chest, and my legs. 111 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: I'd wake up with bruises. I woke up from being choked. 112 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: There was a pressure around my neck and. 113 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: I couldn't breathe. 114 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: The only thing I knew how to do was just 115 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 4: close my eyes and start crying. Archangel, Michael, please come 116 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: and protect me. 117 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: I'm really scared right now. 118 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: I just dissipated. Then one night, I was having a 119 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: sleepover with my friends. 120 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 3: I woke up in the middle of the night. 121 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 4: As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized there 122 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 4: was a presence in my room. 123 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: I saw something in the corner. 124 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 4: So I picked my head up and I looked, and 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 4: it was a woman standing in the corner. 126 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: Of my bedroom. She was white, she was like pale. 127 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 4: Her hair was really really long, and it was black. 128 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: It looked brittle and dirty, and her limbs were decrepit 129 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 4: and just broken and misplaced. She was wearing a really long, black, 130 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: tattered dress. 131 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: She looked like she was a nun, but her. 132 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 4: Eyes were really dark, really really black. 133 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: She didn't look human. 134 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: And she was just standing there like staring at me. 135 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 4: She felt demonic, purely evil. There was something about her 136 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 4: that felt malicious. She was looking to harm me. I 137 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: realized that it was her who was doing these things. 138 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 4: I start praying and then she's gone. This just happened 139 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 4: every single night. So I just got to a point 140 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 4: of not being afraid anymore. I started to become detached 141 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: from what I was experienced because I didn't really have 142 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: anyone that I could turn. 143 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: To, at least I thought. I have an older brother, Stephen. 144 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 4: He's sixteen years older than me. He grew up with 145 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: his dad and stepmom in Florida, but my senior year 146 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 4: of high school, he moved back in with us. His 147 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: room and my room were very close to each other 148 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 4: in the basement. We had a very close relationship. It 149 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: was Black Friday. I was out with my friend. My 150 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 4: phone was ringing. It was my brother. He's panicking, and 151 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 4: he's like, you need to get home right now. And 152 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 4: he was like, I don't want to talk about it, 153 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: Like you just need to come home. I hung up 154 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: and my friends drove me home. On our way back 155 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 4: to my house, there's just all these thoughts in my 156 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 4: mind about like what could possibly be going on, I 157 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 4: was like, Oh Jesus, what am I going to come 158 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: home to. I was preparing myself for the worst outcome. 159 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 4: I had never once experienced my brother terrified, so that 160 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 4: and of itself. 161 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: Really freaked me out. 162 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 4: My friends dropped me off, and I see my brother 163 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 4: frantically just walking back and forth. His head was down. 164 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: I said, what happened. He explained to me that he 165 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: was about to go outside to have a cigarette, and 166 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: then he felt a presence behind him. He turns around 167 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 4: and there's a woman standing at the top of the 168 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 4: stairs looking down at him. He ran outside, and he 169 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: refused to go back in. 170 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: He said that she had. 171 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 4: Really long hair, she looked very, very old. She was 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: dressed in non attire. He described her limbs being all broken. 173 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 4: He was like, she's evil, she's dark. As he's describing her, 174 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: he clicks in my head it was the same woman 175 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 4: that I had seen. I told him I had been 176 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: seeing her as well. I felt relieved that I had 177 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 4: been finally validated in what I was experiencing. 178 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: But also like, what the fuck. 179 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, let's just go back inside the house. 180 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 4: We go up the stairs into my kitchen. I'm trying 181 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 4: to take pressure off and just ground him, so I'm 182 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 4: just sort of talking about random things. Finally we're like, okay, 183 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: let's go downstairs. 184 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 3: We walked out of. 185 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 4: The kitchen, but I heard a low growling at the 186 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: end of the hallway. It was really deep and it 187 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 4: was really guttural. We just continued walking because I didn't 188 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: want to freak him out. 189 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: I tried to play it cool. 190 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: When we finally reached his room, he looks at me 191 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 4: and he was like, did you hear that? My brother 192 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: having these experiences was confirmation that this wasn't all in 193 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: my head, that this was very much real. That was 194 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 4: a pivotal moment for me. Finally, my brother and I 195 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 4: were like, let's do something about this. My brother grew 196 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 4: up in a home where spirituality was sort of. 197 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: A norm for him. His stepmother was a medium. 198 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 4: He was introduced to that world really early on, and 199 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 4: he suggested that we start leaning on prayers and cleansing. 200 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 4: We would go around the house, especially in the basement, 201 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 4: which is where the energy was always the densest would 202 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 4: do this multiple times a day, cleansing every single corner 203 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 4: of the room, praying while I was doing it like 204 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 4: there was just so much intention behind it. It took 205 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 4: a lot of time, but the paranormal activity definitely decreased. 206 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 4: I would still hear things here and there, but nothing 207 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 4: felt like my life was in danger. My mom finally 208 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: decided to sell the house when I was twenty three. 209 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 3: The night I. 210 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 4: Moved into the new place, I had a dream. I 211 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: saw a man and a woman, and the man was 212 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 4: really tall, and there was something incredibly evil about his presence. 213 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 4: The woman had really pale skin and black eyes. These 214 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: were the demons that I had been experiencing my whole life. 215 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 4: It didn't feel like they were trying to scare me. 216 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 4: It just sort of felt like they're revealing themselves. 217 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: And closing a chapter. 218 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: And the way that they looked at me just it 219 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 4: made me realize that they were saying goodbye. Since that point, 220 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 4: I've never seen them again. I've never experienced anything like that. 221 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: Nothing brings step siblings together like exercising a raggedy, demonic 222 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: witch lady from the basement. I wish me and my 223 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: step siblings had had that opportunity. It probably would have 224 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: kept from suing each other in family court during the divorce. 225 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: Half of all assets doesn't extend to my lue Bouton collection, Melanie, 226 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: better luck next time. A lot of you in the 227 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: comments are confused about feasts of the Hour talk day. 228 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm still learning about the history myself. But long story, short. 229 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: Our Talk was basically an ancient Irish. 230 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 5: Vampire blood sucking chieftain. 231 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: When no one knows what a blood sucking chieftain is anyway, 232 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: he started out as like king of this town. Everyone 233 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: hated him. They said he was evil and also short 234 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: short king fury I call it. So one day he 235 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: dies and a town is super relieved. But after they 236 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: bury him, he rises from the dead and starts sucking 237 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: people's blood. Everyone's super freaked. They keep trying to kill him, 238 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: and he keeps coming back. Eventually, a wise man says 239 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: to defeat our Talk, he must be killed with a 240 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: sword made of you would and buried upside down. So 241 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: they try this and it works. The Hour Talk is 242 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: dead for good and his reign of terror finally ends. 243 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: According to the legend, HM you miss them stuff, Len, 244 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: We don't have time. That's the basic gist. So once 245 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: a year we google celebrate the Hour Talk with a 246 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: big parade and parties where we dress in red and 247 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: get shitfaced by drinking the blood of the drunkest Saint 248 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: Patti's day asshole, which we do kegstand style to symbolize 249 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: the Hour Talk's final resting position upside down. They say, 250 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: if you've been good all year long, you can leave 251 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: a blood chalice in your window for the hour talk 252 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: and he'll bless you with prosperity and good fortune. Did 253 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: I get that right line? 254 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 4: Well? Good? 255 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 5: Then a little bit more new good to hit theory. 256 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so more or less, but enough from me. Let's 257 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: get to our next guest, Emily, who's been battling a 258 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: lifelong haunt, multi generational even What can I say? When 259 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: you got it? 260 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: You got it? 261 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: I hear this thing come towards me, and I could 262 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: hear it walking slowly. It sounded like it was stalking something. 263 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: It made it to my bed. I could feel its 264 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: hot breath, and I could hear it growl, but nothing 265 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: was there. My name is Emily. Since I was little, 266 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: I feel like something dark has been falling me. When 267 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: I was five years old, we lived in a two 268 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: story apartment in California. My dad would lock the doors 269 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: every night. Garage door, front door, sliding glass door. All 270 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: the doors were locked. One night I had woken up, 271 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 2: I heard the door start to creak open. I assumed 272 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: it was my mom or dad. I turn over to 273 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: check no one's there, and I start to hear these 274 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: footsteps that sounded animal like come towards me. I throw 275 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: the covers over my head. I had a phobia of dogs, 276 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:19,359 Speaker 2: so we didn't have any pets. I hear the footsteps 277 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: grow closer. It sounded like it was stalking, kind of 278 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: walk pause, walk pause, and then finally it made it 279 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: to my bed. I could feel the hot breath through 280 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: the covers, and I could hear the panting in my 281 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: left ear, and I could hear it growl. It definitely 282 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: had this evil feel like it was going to hurt me. 283 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: It was very menacing. The growl was a deep, throaty 284 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: growl like I was its prey. I taped covers off 285 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: my head and there's nothing there, which scares me even 286 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: more because I can still hear it. 287 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: So I put the covers back. 288 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: Over my head, and I felt something jump onto my bed. 289 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 2: My heart was racing. I taped covers off my head 290 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: and I could see four indentations on my bed like 291 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: paw prints. I felt very threatened. It felt very evil. 292 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: I think this thing could have shown up in any form. 293 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: It chose a dog because it knew I was afraid 294 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: of dogs and understood the assignment. It had evil Unton 295 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: Chins when I was sixteen years old. I was homeschooled 296 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: at the time. My four year old brother was not 297 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: in school yet. We were home with my mom. I 298 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: was watching TV and my brother came up to me 299 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: and asked, can we play Hide and Seek? And I 300 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: told him, of course, I'll be At first, I put 301 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: my hands over my eyes and start to count to ten. 302 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 2: I am sitting on the couch directly facing the stairs. 303 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: Before I say ready or not here I come, I 304 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: open my eyes and I see his shadow and I 305 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: can hear him running up the stairs. I know he's upstairs, 306 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: but with the four year old, hide and Seek doesn't 307 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: last very long, so I am gonna keep this game 308 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 2: going a little longer. I'm playing along looking behind the couch. 309 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 2: I say, oh, you're not behind the couch, and I 310 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: continue this, You're not in the bathroom. Finally, I'm over 311 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: the game and I know he's upstairs. At the top 312 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 2: of the stairs, there was a door and I could 313 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: see my brother's shadow through the crack of the door. 314 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: I could hear him mouth breathing, and with every breath 315 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 2: I could see the door physically move. So I start 316 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: to push on it and I could feel the resistance 317 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 2: from his body as I'm pushing on the door, teasing him, 318 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: you're not here, Oh, you're not behind the door. I 319 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: continue to look around the upstairs and I look in 320 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: the bathroom. 321 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 3: You're not in the bathroom. 322 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: You're not in my bedroom. I wanted him to think 323 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: he was winning. I come back, passing him and I 324 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: can hear him breathing. I go downstairs and sit at 325 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 2: the dining room table with my mom, expecting him to 326 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: run down the stairs. I won, I won. You lost. 327 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I feel something grab my leg. 328 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: I jump and I scream and I look. It was 329 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: my brother under the table. I asked him, when did 330 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: you get down here? And my mom told me he's 331 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: been under the table the whole time. I assumed she 332 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: was joking with me. I said, no, he was upstairs. 333 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: I saw him. He goes, no, he was under my 334 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: feet the entire time. That's when I went, oh, no, 335 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: she's not kidding. I'm freaked out. I told my mom 336 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 2: that I saw something run up the stairs and I 337 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: could feel the resistance of a body behind the door. 338 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 2: I could hear the breath and see the door moving. 339 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: She said, well, I'll go check it out. 340 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: Went up there and there was nothing. I started getting sweaty. 341 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: My heart started pounding, and I knew what I had 342 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: seen was supernatural. My thoughts are, oh crap. 343 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 4: This is legit. 344 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: This feels evil. A couple of weeks later, I was 345 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 2: home alone. My mom, grandma, and my little brother were 346 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 2: grocery shopping. I was downstairs doing schoolwork and wanted to 347 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 2: get a quick shower before they came home. Before going 348 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 2: up the stairs, I made sure the front door was locked. 349 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: I walked into the bathroom, I shut the door behind me. 350 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 2: I was in the shower and I heard the door open. 351 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: I assumed it was my mom telling me she was 352 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: home from grocery shopping. But I didn't hear her voice. 353 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: So I peeked out from the shower curtain and see 354 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 2: that the door is wide open. I was like, Okay, 355 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 2: that's bizarre. So I shut the shower curtain. I am 356 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: trying to rinse out my hair. I have really long, 357 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: thick hair, so it's taking forever. In the shower, there 358 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: is a brass handle that you turn to the left 359 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 2: for hot, to the right for cold, or to shut 360 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: it off. I see the handle slowly turn the water 361 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: off and then slowly turned back on. I was like, 362 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: oh shit, something bad is about to happen. I wasn't 363 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 2: even done. I just shut the water off, grabbed my towel. 364 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: The ship who is running into my eyes so I'm squinting. 365 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 2: My eyes are burning. I go to step into the 366 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: hallway and when I stop, I see hoof prints on 367 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: the hallway carpet. Something was walking with two hoof prints 368 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: all along the upstairs. I was like, is this an animal? No, 369 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: there's no animal with two hoofs that walks on two feet. 370 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: I realize that the stairs also had the footprints. I 371 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: go down the stairs and I see the front door 372 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: was open, but I knew I had locked the door 373 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: before taking a shower. Who or what opened the door. 374 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 2: I'm freaked out, so I shut the front door. I 375 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: was completely alone in the house. I sit on the 376 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 2: couch called my mom. I told my mom this is 377 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: what has happened. 378 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 3: She stopped grocery shopping. 379 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 2: And came back home seeing the hoof prints. I think 380 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 2: what I was witnessing was demonic. I just stayed downstairs 381 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: until she came home because I was freaked out. Years later, 382 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: these things have followed me into marriage. My husband started 383 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 2: experience and stuff. Now my four year old son is 384 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: experienced thinking things as well. He just told me a 385 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: couple weeks ago, Mommy, I have wake dreams. The way 386 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: he described it, he can open his eyes, but he 387 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 2: can't move his body, and he will see stuff in 388 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: his room. There was one time he's screaming for me. 389 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: I was in the kitchen and their rooms directly about 390 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: the kitchen. I look on the monitor. Sure enough, I 391 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: see what looks like this glowing figure walking across his room. 392 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, uh huh, And I run up their 393 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 2: throw open the door, and there's nothing there. He said 394 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: that he had woken up, he couldn't move, and he 395 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 2: saw a light monster in a dark monster that came 396 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 2: into his room, and he was screaming that there was 397 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: something in his room. 398 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: It was terrifying. 399 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: I feel so bad for him. I don't know why 400 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: I have experienced such demonic supernatural stuff my entire life. 401 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 2: I was not a believer in like witchcraft or anything 402 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: like that. Huge believer. Now, huge believer. I've seen it. 403 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: I've experienced it. 404 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: A whole spooky family. Oh there's a real opportunity there. 405 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: Start with a well managed YouTube channel to hone the 406 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: brand and win sponsorship deals, maybe for like crystals or 407 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: Halloween candy. From there, I think they could easily get 408 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: something on TLC, maybe even and E. I pitched my 409 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: reality show to Resitates the Wheel within an inch of 410 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: my life, to no avail. It almost killed me, of 411 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: course it didn't. That was the other incident. Some girls 412 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: have all the lunch.
