WEBVTT - S1: EP 31 — "The Nun Wasn’t Human." 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.119 Hello, my friends, Welcome back to another episode of Haunting. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.239 It has been crazy in Purgatory, you guys. I had 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.640 no idea, but the afterlife goes hard for Saint Patti's Day. Typically, 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:31.760 I'm not a big Saint Patty's girl, ever since the 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:33.559 year I got kicked in the face by a belligerent 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.720 Irish answer. They do not mess around with that front 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.400 click move. But here it's a different beast, and I 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.080 mean that literally. Saint Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland. 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.639 But of course we're all undead abominations, which doesn't really fly. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.080 So in Purgatory we celebrate what's called Feast of the 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.320 Our Talk Day. It's basically the same thing, only it 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.120 falls the day after Saint Patti's Day, and instead of green, 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.720 everyone wears red. There's a whole lore can't really get into. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:01.200 Right now. 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.160 We need to get this episode started so Len and 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.880 I can get back to the festivities, which reminds me. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.200 I got a memo from HR that I'm supposed to 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.840 read to the staff, So Len, I guess, attention employees, 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.160 this Feast of the Our Talk Day, we would like 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.520 to remind everyone that you are expected to adhere to 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.080 all workplace protocol and protections. There should be no excessive 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.000 revelry during office hours. In in an effort to avoid 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.920 last year's misfortune, all living interlopers must remain fully intact 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:33.280 while on the premises. Thank you in human resources, boo, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.640 who cares? We are getting after it today, no rules. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.319 In fact, we can do whatever we want because Len 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.720 is the feast of the our talk day parade. Marshall, Hey, 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.959 it's okay, Len, Kat's out of the bag. I saw 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.600 the scepter and your little plaid skirt, I saw the 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.400 whole get up. Well that Tartan, well, I know the 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.920 walk of the Screaming Band Cheese can't start without you. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.560 So let's get this show on the road, so you 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.800 can get that show on the road. Our first story 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.960 today is from Massachusetts, a state with a rich Irish history, 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.800 where our friend Alexandra spent over fifteen years in her 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.680 own personal satanic panic. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:13.919 Take a listen. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.960 I am Alexandra, and I wasn't crazy. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.160 My house was haunted. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.800 When I was twelve, my family and I moved out 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.760 of this apartment complex outside of Boston. When my mom 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.040 and my siblings went to go check out the house, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.320 nothing seemed out of the ordinary or anything like that. 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.920 Then the realtor led them to the basement and they. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.800 Saw satanic symbols in the wall in gyed candlewacks. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.280 It was red and it was black, and it was 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.960 dripping down the walls. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.960 It also had been splattered on the floor. It looked 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:57.080 like someone was doing ritualistic things. But because I grew 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.639 up in a religious home, my mom wasn't tooorried about it. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.040 She was like, I'll just call my friends from church. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:04.880 He'll just come over and we'll pray over it. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.640 She bought the house, and that's exactly what she did. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.880 They formed a circle in the basement, held hands and 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:11.520 they prayed. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.959 In her mind, everything was good. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.200 But it never felt like a safe space to me. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.080 It just wasn't a very inviting house. We had two 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.600 sets of stairs. The one on the right led to 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.680 the kitchen, living room, and then a long hallway that 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.040 had a bunch of bedrooms and a bathroom. The other 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.320 set of stairs on the left led down into the basement, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.120 which had three bedrooms. 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.720 A bathroom, and the laundry unit. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.280 There was one night I was in the basement next 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.360 to the laundry unit, was like this really big closet, 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.760 and I heard growling from behind the door. I thought 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.440 maybe it was one of my dogs. I put my 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.680 ear to the door, and the growling intensified. It was 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.080 guttural and it was deep. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.480 I was too afraid to look. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.000 I ran upstairs. I grabbed my mom. 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.360 I was like, can you please check if there's something 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:07.760 behind the door. I think that there is. 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.320 We walked back downstairs. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:11.640 She opened the door. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.719 There was nothing there. Things gradually got worse and worse 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.160 and worse. I started to consistently hear things, not just 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.760 the growling. I'd hear and knocking from the wall that 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.359 was behind my headboard. I would hear scratching on the walls. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.719 It sounded like a claw slowly scratching down the wall. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.919 I knew it wasn't my dog because my dog was 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.440 always next to me. The knocking and the scratching would 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:43.640 always come in threes. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.839 I was terrified. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:53.520 Every single night after these experiences, I would run to 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.800 my mom's bedroom because I was so afraid. I didn't 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:56.159 know what to do. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:57.719 I'd try to sleep in her room. 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.000 She didn't really know what to say to me, because 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.680 she herself wasn't experiencing this. She was just like, Oh, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.880 this is probably one of those things that like child's 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.880 experiencing nightmares. My mom decided to take me to a 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.360 neurologist to get a better understanding of what I was experiencing. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.240 They did several sleep studies. The doctors couldn't find anything 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.880 off about my sleep or my brain activity. They essentially 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.200 were just like, she's a child, it's probably her imagination. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.880 I was frustrated and I was angry because they didn't 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.800 believe me. I very much knew what I was experiencing 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.240 was real. I was like, Okay, I'm just going to 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.360 keep this to myself and learn how to deal with 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.480 this because there's nothing that they can do for me. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.000 When I was in high school, my sister moved out 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.240 of the house, and so I ended up moving down 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.360 into the basement into her room because it was much 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.560 more spacious than mine. That's where the Satanic symbol was. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.720 The energy of that room was very heavy. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.920 Once I roped it to my sister's room, I started 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:10.039 to experience physical things. I'd wake up with three scratches 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.599 on my body, my arms, my chest, and my legs. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.400 I'd wake up with bruises. I woke up from being choked. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.000 There was a pressure around my neck and. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:20.960 I couldn't breathe. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.080 The only thing I knew how to do was just 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.760 close my eyes and start crying. Archangel, Michael, please come 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:30.520 and protect me. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.560 I'm really scared right now. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:41.240 I just dissipated. Then one night, I was having a 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.640 sleepover with my friends. 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:44.719 I woke up in the middle of the night. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.279 As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized there 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:50.520 was a presence in my room. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.080 I saw something in the corner. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.040 So I picked my head up and I looked, and 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.480 it was a woman standing in the corner. 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.560 Of my bedroom. She was white, she was like pale. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.080 Her hair was really really long, and it was black. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:12.800 It looked brittle and dirty, and her limbs were decrepit 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:19.320 and just broken and misplaced. She was wearing a really long, black, 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:20.640 tattered dress. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.560 She looked like she was a nun, but her. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.960 Eyes were really dark, really really black. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.200 She didn't look human. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.560 And she was just standing there like staring at me. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:38.720 She felt demonic, purely evil. There was something about her 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:45.120 that felt malicious. She was looking to harm me. I 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.440 realized that it was her who was doing these things. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.160 I start praying and then she's gone. This just happened 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:55.080 every single night. So I just got to a point 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.920 of not being afraid anymore. I started to become detached 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.600 from what I was experienced because I didn't really have 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.040 anyone that I could turn. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.240 To, at least I thought. I have an older brother, Stephen. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.680 He's sixteen years older than me. He grew up with 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.920 his dad and stepmom in Florida, but my senior year 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.600 of high school, he moved back in with us. His 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.360 room and my room were very close to each other 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.280 in the basement. We had a very close relationship. It 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.400 was Black Friday. I was out with my friend. My 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.360 phone was ringing. It was my brother. He's panicking, and 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.960 he's like, you need to get home right now. And 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.440 he was like, I don't want to talk about it, 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.640 Like you just need to come home. I hung up 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.040 and my friends drove me home. On our way back 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.560 to my house, there's just all these thoughts in my 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.440 mind about like what could possibly be going on, I 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.560 was like, Oh Jesus, what am I going to come 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.960 home to. I was preparing myself for the worst outcome. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:09:00.800 I had never once experienced my brother terrified, so that 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:01.959 and of itself. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:02.560 Really freaked me out. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.679 My friends dropped me off, and I see my brother 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.960 frantically just walking back and forth. His head was down. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:16.520 I said, what happened. He explained to me that he 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.600 was about to go outside to have a cigarette, and 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.800 then he felt a presence behind him. He turns around 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.760 and there's a woman standing at the top of the 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.760 stairs looking down at him. He ran outside, and he 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:31.800 refused to go back in. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:34.560 He said that she had. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.520 Really long hair, she looked very, very old. She was 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.920 dressed in non attire. He described her limbs being all broken. 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.360 He was like, she's evil, she's dark. As he's describing her, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.240 he clicks in my head it was the same woman 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.439 that I had seen. I told him I had been 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.880 seeing her as well. I felt relieved that I had 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:01.199 been finally validated in what I was experiencing. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.320 But also like, what the fuck. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.440 I was like, Okay, let's just go back inside the house. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.680 We go up the stairs into my kitchen. I'm trying 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:14.280 to take pressure off and just ground him, so I'm 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.280 just sort of talking about random things. Finally we're like, okay, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.400 let's go downstairs. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.040 We walked out of. 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.840 The kitchen, but I heard a low growling at the 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.240 end of the hallway. It was really deep and it 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.080 was really guttural. We just continued walking because I didn't 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:32.960 want to freak him out. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:34.520 I tried to play it cool. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.240 When we finally reached his room, he looks at me 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.400 and he was like, did you hear that? My brother 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:47.240 having these experiences was confirmation that this wasn't all in 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.600 my head, that this was very much real. That was 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.680 a pivotal moment for me. Finally, my brother and I 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:59.079 were like, let's do something about this. My brother grew 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.959 up in a home where spirituality was sort of. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.360 A norm for him. His stepmother was a medium. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.839 He was introduced to that world really early on, and 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:16.679 he suggested that we start leaning on prayers and cleansing. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.439 We would go around the house, especially in the basement, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.560 which is where the energy was always the densest would 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.560 do this multiple times a day, cleansing every single corner 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.720 of the room, praying while I was doing it like 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.480 there was just so much intention behind it. It took 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.439 a lot of time, but the paranormal activity definitely decreased. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.920 I would still hear things here and there, but nothing 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:51.800 felt like my life was in danger. My mom finally 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.280 decided to sell the house when I was twenty three. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.400 The night I. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:03.480 Moved into the new place, I had a dream. I 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.600 saw a man and a woman, and the man was 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.679 really tall, and there was something incredibly evil about his presence. 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:19.320 The woman had really pale skin and black eyes. These 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:23.640 were the demons that I had been experiencing my whole life. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.160 It didn't feel like they were trying to scare me. 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:32.800 It just sort of felt like they're revealing themselves. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.560 And closing a chapter. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.120 And the way that they looked at me just it 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.760 made me realize that they were saying goodbye. Since that point, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.480 I've never seen them again. I've never experienced anything like that. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.959 Nothing brings step siblings together like exercising a raggedy, demonic 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.000 witch lady from the basement. I wish me and my 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.679 step siblings had had that opportunity. It probably would have 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.360 kept from suing each other in family court during the divorce. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.280 Half of all assets doesn't extend to my lue Bouton collection, Melanie, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:20.600 better luck next time. A lot of you in the 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.040 comments are confused about feasts of the Hour talk day. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.880 I'm still learning about the history myself. But long story, short. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.079 Our Talk was basically an ancient Irish. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.400 Vampire blood sucking chieftain. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.720 When no one knows what a blood sucking chieftain is anyway, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.240 he started out as like king of this town. Everyone 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.560 hated him. They said he was evil and also short 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.040 short king fury I call it. So one day he 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.959 dies and a town is super relieved. But after they 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.840 bury him, he rises from the dead and starts sucking 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.520 people's blood. Everyone's super freaked. They keep trying to kill him, 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.520 and he keeps coming back. Eventually, a wise man says 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.520 to defeat our Talk, he must be killed with a 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.200 sword made of you would and buried upside down. So 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.800 they try this and it works. The Hour Talk is 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.720 dead for good and his reign of terror finally ends. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.520 According to the legend, HM you miss them stuff, Len, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.480 We don't have time. That's the basic gist. So once 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.040 a year we google celebrate the Hour Talk with a 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.920 big parade and parties where we dress in red and 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.600 get shitfaced by drinking the blood of the drunkest Saint 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.920 Patti's day asshole, which we do kegstand style to symbolize 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.400 the Hour Talk's final resting position upside down. They say, 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.000 if you've been good all year long, you can leave 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.240 a blood chalice in your window for the hour talk 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.520 and he'll bless you with prosperity and good fortune. Did 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.360 I get that right line? 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:45.320 Well? Good? 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.280 Then a little bit more new good to hit theory. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.080 Okay, so more or less, but enough from me. Let's 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.800 get to our next guest, Emily, who's been battling a 0:14:55.840 --> 0:15:00.520 lifelong haunt, multi generational even What can I say? When 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:01.000 you got it? 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:01.760 You got it? 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.280 I hear this thing come towards me, and I could 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.320 hear it walking slowly. It sounded like it was stalking something. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.400 It made it to my bed. I could feel its 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.200 hot breath, and I could hear it growl, but nothing 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:25.520 was there. My name is Emily. Since I was little, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:31.720 I feel like something dark has been falling me. When 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.240 I was five years old, we lived in a two 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.880 story apartment in California. My dad would lock the doors 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.840 every night. Garage door, front door, sliding glass door. All 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.400 the doors were locked. One night I had woken up, 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.800 I heard the door start to creak open. I assumed 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.440 it was my mom or dad. I turn over to 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:02.480 check no one's there, and I start to hear these 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.960 footsteps that sounded animal like come towards me. I throw 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:12.040 the covers over my head. I had a phobia of dogs, 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:19.359 so we didn't have any pets. I hear the footsteps 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.440 grow closer. It sounded like it was stalking, kind of 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:29.280 walk pause, walk pause, and then finally it made it 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:33.520 to my bed. I could feel the hot breath through 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.520 the covers, and I could hear the panting in my 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:42.360 left ear, and I could hear it growl. It definitely 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.360 had this evil feel like it was going to hurt me. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:52.680 It was very menacing. The growl was a deep, throaty 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:58.480 growl like I was its prey. I taped covers off 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.720 my head and there's nothing there, which scares me even 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.320 more because I can still hear it. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.720 So I put the covers back. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.359 Over my head, and I felt something jump onto my bed. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:15.399 My heart was racing. I taped covers off my head 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:21.000 and I could see four indentations on my bed like 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:26.800 paw prints. I felt very threatened. It felt very evil. 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.280 I think this thing could have shown up in any form. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.760 It chose a dog because it knew I was afraid 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.240 of dogs and understood the assignment. It had evil Unton 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:43.359 Chins when I was sixteen years old. I was homeschooled 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.800 at the time. My four year old brother was not 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.800 in school yet. We were home with my mom. I 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.119 was watching TV and my brother came up to me 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.159 and asked, can we play Hide and Seek? And I 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:02.800 told him, of course, I'll be At first, I put 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.840 my hands over my eyes and start to count to ten. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.080 I am sitting on the couch directly facing the stairs. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.080 Before I say ready or not here I come, I 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.159 open my eyes and I see his shadow and I 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:21.320 can hear him running up the stairs. I know he's upstairs, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.280 but with the four year old, hide and Seek doesn't 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.080 last very long, so I am gonna keep this game 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:33.959 going a little longer. I'm playing along looking behind the couch. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.439 I say, oh, you're not behind the couch, and I 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:43.080 continue this, You're not in the bathroom. Finally, I'm over 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.520 the game and I know he's upstairs. At the top 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.920 of the stairs, there was a door and I could 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.320 see my brother's shadow through the crack of the door. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:56.800 I could hear him mouth breathing, and with every breath 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.680 I could see the door physically move. So I start 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.240 to push on it and I could feel the resistance 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.120 from his body as I'm pushing on the door, teasing him, 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.639 you're not here, Oh, you're not behind the door. I 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.040 continue to look around the upstairs and I look in 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:15.720 the bathroom. 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.440 You're not in the bathroom. 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.440 You're not in my bedroom. I wanted him to think 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.200 he was winning. I come back, passing him and I 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.400 can hear him breathing. I go downstairs and sit at 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.639 the dining room table with my mom, expecting him to 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.240 run down the stairs. I won, I won. You lost. 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.160 All of a sudden, I feel something grab my leg. 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.280 I jump and I scream and I look. It was 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.760 my brother under the table. I asked him, when did 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.320 you get down here? And my mom told me he's 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.520 been under the table the whole time. I assumed she 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.840 was joking with me. I said, no, he was upstairs. 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.760 I saw him. He goes, no, he was under my 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.159 feet the entire time. That's when I went, oh, no, 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.240 she's not kidding. I'm freaked out. I told my mom 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.879 that I saw something run up the stairs and I 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:18.040 could feel the resistance of a body behind the door. 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.119 I could hear the breath and see the door moving. 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.080 She said, well, I'll go check it out. 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:31.600 Went up there and there was nothing. I started getting sweaty. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.760 My heart started pounding, and I knew what I had 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:39.400 seen was supernatural. My thoughts are, oh crap. 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:40.359 This is legit. 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:48.119 This feels evil. A couple of weeks later, I was 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:53.160 home alone. My mom, grandma, and my little brother were 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.439 grocery shopping. I was downstairs doing schoolwork and wanted to 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.440 get a quick shower before they came home. Before going 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.399 up the stairs, I made sure the front door was locked. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:11.040 I walked into the bathroom, I shut the door behind me. 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:19.119 I was in the shower and I heard the door open. 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.560 I assumed it was my mom telling me she was 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.320 home from grocery shopping. But I didn't hear her voice. 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:31.280 So I peeked out from the shower curtain and see 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:35.720 that the door is wide open. I was like, Okay, 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:41.160 that's bizarre. So I shut the shower curtain. I am 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.399 trying to rinse out my hair. I have really long, 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.800 thick hair, so it's taking forever. In the shower, there 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.520 is a brass handle that you turn to the left 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:53.640 for hot, to the right for cold, or to shut 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:58.280 it off. I see the handle slowly turn the water 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:02.399 off and then slowly turned back on. I was like, 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:06.720 oh shit, something bad is about to happen. I wasn't 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.719 even done. I just shut the water off, grabbed my towel. 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.119 The ship who is running into my eyes so I'm squinting. 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.760 My eyes are burning. I go to step into the 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.760 hallway and when I stop, I see hoof prints on 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:28.280 the hallway carpet. Something was walking with two hoof prints 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:32.320 all along the upstairs. I was like, is this an animal? No, 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.359 there's no animal with two hoofs that walks on two feet. 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:42.800 I realize that the stairs also had the footprints. I 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.760 go down the stairs and I see the front door 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.800 was open, but I knew I had locked the door 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:56.080 before taking a shower. Who or what opened the door. 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:01.919 I'm freaked out, so I shut the front door. I 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.280 was completely alone in the house. I sit on the 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.159 couch called my mom. I told my mom this is 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:09.080 what has happened. 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:11.440 She stopped grocery shopping. 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:15.720 And came back home seeing the hoof prints. I think 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:20.639 what I was witnessing was demonic. I just stayed downstairs 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.840 until she came home because I was freaked out. Years later, 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:31.000 these things have followed me into marriage. My husband started 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.119 experience and stuff. Now my four year old son is 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.560 experienced thinking things as well. He just told me a 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:42.040 couple weeks ago, Mommy, I have wake dreams. The way 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:45.960 he described it, he can open his eyes, but he 0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:47.919 can't move his body, and he will see stuff in 0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:51.000 his room. There was one time he's screaming for me. 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.000 I was in the kitchen and their rooms directly about 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.080 the kitchen. I look on the monitor. Sure enough, I 0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:01.040 see what looks like this glowing figure walking across his room. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.879 I'm like, oh, uh huh, And I run up their 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:08.920 throw open the door, and there's nothing there. He said 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.840 that he had woken up, he couldn't move, and he 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:16.360 saw a light monster in a dark monster that came 0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.439 into his room, and he was screaming that there was 0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:20.760 something in his room. 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.040 It was terrifying. 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:26.359 I feel so bad for him. I don't know why 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:31.359 I have experienced such demonic supernatural stuff my entire life. 0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:35.160
