Where was that? 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:41.280 No? 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.280 No, it wasn't So. I've lived in Dallas for a 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.600 really long time. But I'm actually a country girl. I 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:51.120 grew up on a farm in the middle of East Texas, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.640 super close to the Louisiana borders. So lots of woods, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:03:00.240 lots of ponds and swamps, and lots of weird, weird, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.040 creepy shit that happens behind the pine curtain. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.160 If we like to call it a haunted farmhouse in Texas, 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:13.400 I mean this is I am strapped in and ready 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:14.839 to hear this one. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.160 Yeah, so it's kind of crazy. The story kind of 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.720 starts and end with a fire, not to be dramatic, 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:26.240 but the house that my family originally lived in until 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.639 I was three years old burned down just in the 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.880 middle of an I still not really sure what happened there. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.600 I'm sure my parents know. But we then moved into 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.960 what we call the farm. So it's sort of a typical, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:44.200 nondescript looking Greek revival ranch. Our house on twelve acres 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.440 the tons of land. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.400 Is this the kind of thing where no one can 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:49.360 hear you scream? 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.640 Exactly? Our nearest neighbor was literally two miles down the room, 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.960 like so literally in the middle of the woods, in 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.920 the middle of nowhere, East Texas, like five hundred people 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:03.160 in the town. One stoplight literally just one stoplight. So 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.040 that kind of gig growing. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.680 Have you seen the movie X no X X. It's 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:15.120 like a trilogy of movies. There's X, there's Maxine, there's Pearl. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.440 Oh yes, yes, I have, Yeah, of course, X is like. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.560 I feel like it takes place in I thought it 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.680 was Texas, but then there's also crocodiles I don't know, 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.080 but it's like a farmhouse. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.160 We do have alligators. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.800 Okay, okay, so did you watch the movie X and 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.360 you said, oh, this is a documentary, I will. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.480 Watching almost like, yeah, this all looks familiar, I mean, 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.640 other than like murderous old people. But who knows there 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.600 might be one in the story. We don't know for sure. Okay, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.080 but yeah, So just to kind of give you a 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.159 lot of really weird stuff, happened so pretty much as 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.920 soon as we moved in, So sorry happening. I don't 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.960 remember a lot of the early stuff because I was 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.680 literally three years old, but my older brother and sister 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.000 have told me like the first night we were in 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.520 the house, all the lights kept flickering on and off 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.240 and just like you know, creepy stuff like that. But 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.200 then as growing up, I started noticing things like we 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.120 had an attic and you would hear footsteps in. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.560 The attic all day every day, terrifying. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.880 Yeah, this was the kind of attic that was like 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.760 completely you know, not paved, but you couldn't like it 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.360 was just rafters and then feeling but it sounded like 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.480 someone was literally like just walking across the floor, like 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.640 like there was an actual floor, I can't seep, so 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.040 lots of creepy stuff in the attic we would hear. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.520 My parents would always say it's probably a raccoon or squirrels, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.760 and I would say, okay, probably, but then the older 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.320 gotten like, I think she goes to here. You could 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.040 also hear whisperings throughout the house, which was super creepy. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.200 And I grew up in the nineties. I'm the latch 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.440 key kid, so I was home alone a lot, me 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:02.440 and my siblings and or were you exactly so the 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.680 original part of the house had been added on to 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.760 you over the years before we bought it. So in 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.280 one of the additions, which was my parents' room, I 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.280 would usually go in there and watch their TV and 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.320 you would literally hear like it would almost sell like 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:25.560 something going. So that was always a fun time. We 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.200 did have farm animals. We didn't have a lot, it 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.760 was a smaller farm, but we had We had a 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.520 few hap of paddle we had some chickens. Almost nightly, 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.880 every animal would freak out at pretty much at the 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:39.360 same time. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.279 What was that all about, Well, we don't know, So I. 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.200 Don't know if you've ever been around a bunch of 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.400 farm animals, but I have not. I didn't think so. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.560 I've been around people that smell like farm animals. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:57.799 Now, But it's when an animal is distressed, especially a cowl, 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.479 it makes this loud, almost screaming down to the move, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.720 and so almost nightly you just hear this cacophony of 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.040 animals freaking out. But it would only last for a 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:09.920 few minutes and then. 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.480 Stop as aliens. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.520 Of course, growing up, my parents were like, oh, it's 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.440 probably a coyote, or there's bobcasts in that area and 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:21.239 things like that, but so that was terrifying. Also, people 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.880 would see a man and a cowboy hat out in 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:28.880 our pasture and yeah, so my sister the first time 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.520 I remember being talked about, my sister saw it and 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.480 she was like, there's somebody out in the pasture. My 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.720 dad goes out there, nobody's out there. And then there's 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.440 been multiple times where neighbors. Even though it is in 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.720 the middle of nowhere, it's one of maybe like six 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.960 paced roads in the whole town, so people would drive 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.200 by a lot and people would be like, oh, I 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.840 saw you out in the pasture and I waved and 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.120 you didn't. I guess you didn't see me. But as 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.240 like I was out of the country for business. Oh, 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.520 and I've looked into it and currently a lot of 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.680 people with sleep prolyzecye a man And I don't know 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.040 if that's connective. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:09.040 But yeah, I mean not a cowboy hat though exactly. Yeah, 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.320 or maybe people maybe this is an interesting conversation. Do 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:18.280 people in Texas see the hat man with a cowboy 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:19.360 hat a. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.640 Cowboy hat specifically Texas? But there's probably something to that. 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.800 But yeah, like I've seen it a few times. And 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.000 you know, we would just kind of run wild in 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.280 the summers and we had twelve ages of land and 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.800 woods that we could just explore, and we of course 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.760 had a fort because that's the kids in the nineties did. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.680 And we'd be in the fort and you would look 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.280 out the little window and like sort of past the 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.439 tree line, you would see someone in a hat standing there. No, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:51.920 and it's always very nondescripts wasn't really scary. It just 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.760 looked like a man in jeans and a button up 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.040 like cowboy shirts, like an old Dentum type shirt and 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.839 a hat literally everyone in the town wears. And we 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.920 didn't really think much of it because we were like, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.440 maybe you know this backups are another property. Maybe it's 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.560 somebody else. Like things like that happened all the time, 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.360 but started getting really creepy. One night, me and my cousins, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:17.839 because I'm from a big family and so all the 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.240 cousins always you know, came over to our house. We 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.319 were on the trampoline in the front yard and my 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.600 cousin just sort of stops and looks towards the backyard 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.760 where our sense was and she's like, there's somebody in 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.040 the backyard, and so of course the three of us 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.040 run over and we're trying to look and see and 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.000 as soon as we open the gates to the backyard, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.040 there's another gate beyond that. On the other side that 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.520 gate was closing. You could see someone walking. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.640 Ut the man in the hat or somebody else. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.160 No, it was a man in the hat. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.439 We saw the hat. Freaked out ran told my parents. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.679 They were like, it's nothing, don't worry about it. Another 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.640 thing that how and pretty regularly is there would be 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:07.000 lights in the woods and him getting chills just talking 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.839 about it. So this this is the one that gets me. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.360 Every time we would see lights in the woods and 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.280 it wouldn't look like slash light it would almost look 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:20.600 like like a classic like ORB. But my dad, being 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.440 died in the old Texas born and bred redneck, always 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.559 thought someone was flecking with us out in the woods, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:33.439 so he would grab a shotgun, grab whatever gun was 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.520 around in Texas there everywhere, hell yeah, yeah, right on. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.640 So he would grab whatever gun was handy, run out 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.880 in the woods and there would be no one there, 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.040 and then he would come back in mad. So he's like, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.160 as soon as I got there, the lights were gone, 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.400 there's no one there, but he would be mad thinking 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.000 someone was fucking with him. And the whole time, me 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.360 and my siblings are like, there's a ghost here, but 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:58.800 we're kids, so nobody looks this. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:04.679 Did your dad ever like allude to like him thinking 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:05.680 that there was a ghost. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.840 My dad would never, like he's very much macho machismo, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.600 like he would never admit to being scared of anything. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.920 My mom, on the other hand, she is a hardcore 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.760 skeptic of everything, like if she can't see it, touch it, 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.480 like it doesn't exist. And I just called her yesterday 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.800 and sort of like corroborate some of these things, just 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.439 make sure I got some of the details right. And 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.160 she's just like I'm not. I don't believe in ghosts. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:35.920 There was something there, so having her say that, it's like, Yeah, 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.000 that's really creepy to hear my mom say that, like 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:43.880 even twenty thirty years later, it's freaky, and I think 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.000 the scariest thing that truly ever happened. This might be 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.520 a light profession story. I don't know. Me and my 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.280 brother and sisters her home alone. Of course, we're in 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.000 the den watching a movie or TV or something like 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.360 sisch falls asleep and she starts talking in her sleep. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.400 So me and my brother are trying to listen to 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.839 what she's saying. She's saying words that I'm not really understanding, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:08.120 and my brother is like, it sounds like she's speaking German. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.400 And I should say my siblings are older. They're ten 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.600 eleven years older than me, so he would know if 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.280 it was German. He's like, I think she's speaking German, 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.880 and so we just sort of like left the room, 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.920 like we'll just let her figure that. Nowhere in East 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.000 Texas was anyone learning German. There's nowhere in the nineties, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.480 like they barely taught it to basic Spanish, Like there's 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.400 no place in the nineties. My sister would have learned that. Oh, 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.320 but the history of the area, there was a huge 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.680 German immigrant population in like the late eighteen hundreds early 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.480 nineteen hundred, so, like, my last name is very German, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.640 like a lot of the people around there have a 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.040 German last name. So we're not sure if it was 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.880 like the original owner of the property. I have talked 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:56.800 through my sister, Like. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.240 I have no idea how she was possessed. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:04.000 Probably probably still lives, to be honest, did. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.559 You ever find out anything about the property itself? 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.280 So we tried and I've tried, and we can't really 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.120 find anything. But the people that we did buy the 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.719 property and the house from, my mom did talk to them, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.760 you know, years later, and they had just casually mentioned, yeah, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.559 we've had a preacher come out and pray over that 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:31.240 property twice. And my mom was like why, and they 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.640 basically said, like, we would hear voices, we would you know, 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.599 see people walking around. The grandkids would come out in 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.840 the middle of the night screaming that there was someone 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.360 in their room, just like things like that. Oh my god, 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.839 So do you think we bought it from knew the 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.760 house was haunted or had some freaky shit going on, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.600 and just didn't think to mention it to my parents 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:54.840 when they were buying property. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.400 I think about this all the time. Now, let's if 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.000 I was able to own a house. I don't know. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.839 Maybe i'd be singing a different tune. But I I 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.640 don't know what I would do if I was trying 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.920 to get rid of a house. What I tell the people, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.640 it's not legal. It's a moral thing. I suppose, right, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.480 you want to make this sale. It's not like a 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:24.120 legal thing necessarily to be like, yeah, we think it's haunted. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.840 I don't know. What would you do? I don't know. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.120 I honestly don't know either. I mean, I've never been 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:30.160 in a position where I've had a. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.880 Cell house, So no, I want to be in that 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.920 position first, and then I'll complain, right, yeah. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.280 But with my friends, like people that I k need, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:40.800 be like, heyie, would you like to buy this house? 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.160 It's possibly haunted by a German ghost? They would probably 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.760 be all about it. But true in nineteen nineties e Texas, 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:48.720 I don't need. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.680 Yeah, So how long were you guys in that house? 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.720 So we moved into the house in eighty seven. I 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.640 am an old queen, so we moved in the house 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.240 in eighty seven and I moved out. My parents eventually 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.160 got divorced. I moved in with my dad in two thousands, 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.720 and then in two thousand and two, my mom decided 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.600 she was gonna sell the house. And at that point, 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.840 my sister, her husband, and my niece were living in 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.200 the house, still hearing shit, still seeing stuff like it 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.360 never really stopped. So we sold the house to a 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.480 man that my mom knew. He bought the house. A 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.240 couple of years later, the house burns to the ground. Yeah, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.560 that's why I say this story. The story starts and 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.440 ends with the fire. The house burns to the ground. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.200 Now the rumor knows, the small town gossip rumor is 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.320 that he may or may not have burned it for 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:47.760 the insurance money exactly, But that's small town gossips. He 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.440 claims it was a wiring issue. We don't know. I 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.960 say it was a German ghost who was mad that 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.800 we left and burned the house down. But who knows. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.240 And like I said, I called my sister to kind 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.760 of corroborate everything. She remembers some stuff, some stuff she doesn't. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.400 My older brother unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago, 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.480 and I don't own Luigi board, so I can't ask him. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.040 But yeah, literally everyone who came in the house, friends 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.080 that stay deny it, cousins at stay deny it. Everyone 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.160 who's sent enough time in that house is like, your 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.280 house is fucking horse. But there's something in this ouse. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:27.480 But you guys never saw the cowboy inside of the house. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.920 He always no knewest place. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.520 Yeah, never in the house, always around the property close 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.560 to it, backyard. There was like a pond down in 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.040 the property by the pond alive, like I said, people 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.560 with mistake it with my dad working out in the pasture. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.640 But we never actually saw an actual like apparition or 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.360 whatever in the house itself. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.320 Now, is there is there any possibility that there's just 0:16:53.480 --> 0:17:00.840 some creepy cowboy man that just lives up It's East Texas, 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.800 Like did you ever see him disappear or I don't know, 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.320 there is it possible that that could have just been 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.800 the town creeper was living in your cowbarn and kind 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.879 of sometimes wandering out at night. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.399 You would think, But we knew the town creeper. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.240 He didn't look like too. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.639 It wasn't him. So I still think it was a 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.359 ghost or a spirit or something. There was just so 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.280 much weird stuff that happened, you know, like mostly classic 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.320 conted house stuff, things disappearing, showing up in different spots, 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.960 things like that. But I love I mean, if it 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.560 was the town creep, been good for him because he 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.840 stood the ship out of us for at least decades. 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.160 Yeah, and that's commitment if that is a real living 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.639 exactly ten years. 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:53.760 I just committment to. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:58.119 The yes and then probably never aged. If you know 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.840 it's it was a ghost, I'm going with ghost. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:02.600 I'm gonna go with ghosts too. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:03.920 I have my gabble. 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:05.440 There you go. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:11.800 I'm calling it. Well, I guess Josh, that'll do it. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.119 I so appreciate you taking the time to do this. 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.160 Yeah, of course, I appreciate you letting me talk about 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.120 Hillbily ghosts since I don't get to tell the stories 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.119 too often, So I appreciate it. 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.680 Thank you, Josh. This next phone call was with a 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:41.000 listener named Christie who grew up in a haunted house. Christy, Hello, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:46.399 Christy and Illinois. How are you hi? 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.080 Raf I'm good me too. 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:55.080 I cannot wait to hear what you've got for us, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.720 because you got a list here of some good ones. Yeah, 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.920 where do we start? What's what's your best one? 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.080 Well, the one that usually freaks people out when I 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:12.800 tell it is so I suffer with sleep paralysis. I 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.440 know that you've talked about like hitting it. Like for me, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.200 I can usually tell that I'm in sleep paralysis, like 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.960 if I wake up in it, like you feel stuck 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.639 all this like typical standard whatever, But sometimes it feels different. 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.720 But one time I woke up in sleep paralysis. And 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.000 I growing up at my parents' house. I always shut 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.720 my bedroom door because it always felt like something was 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.439 looking at me from the hallway, and my parents had 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.080 this bad habit of checking on me, just like leaving 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.920 the door cracked open, and I inevitably wind up with 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.320 a sleep paralysis episode. And I always left with the 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:49.720 lights on. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:51.600 I was My dad hated it. 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.960 But I woke up and I couldn't move, and I 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.720 could feel someone stroking my leg just like back and 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.680 force from like my ankle to my knee, and I 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.200 didn't know who it was, and I could feel the 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.320 weight on the bed and I couldn't move, and it 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.320 was terrifying. And usually the fastest god of sleep paralysis 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.000 to just relax and let it pass, which like easier 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.520 said than done. But by the time I could open 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.920 my eyes, nothing was there, and the door was open 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.639 and my light was off, and it was just just 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.480 like laughing. Like have you ever been in a room, 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:30.159 Like you walk into a place and there's just like 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.520 a feeling like it feels like you're not alone, or 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.320 it feels heavy, and it just and it just felt 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.359 like something was like ha, ha, got you. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.399 Yeah, I don't like that. That is It's one of 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:52.680 the many things where if it wasn't a ghost, wouldn't 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.159 that be sweet? You know, just to wake up and 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.960 someone's cressing your leg, Oh, someone that you love. Oh, 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.000 wouldn't that be so nice? 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:00.560 Yeah? 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:05.840 I would unless there's nobody there. Yeah, that's absolutely terrifying. 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.120 Oh hearing a laugh in the middle of the night. Yeah, 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.920 it could be adorable if it's someone that you love 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.560 from a disembodied voice. Absolutely not. 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.480 I have a lot of friends who would not stay 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.000 over after the first time, And it always felt like 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.200 the house like wanted jew in bed by a certain time, 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.560 like if it was late, you had a tiptoe around, 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.720 Like even my parents would like be quiet at night, 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.879 and I had gotten up really early. I wanted to 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.439 watch something on TV before school, and it wasn't supposed 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.040 to be up and I had stuck all the way 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:41.040 up to that. We have like a multi level, like 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.040 a split level house, and I snuck all the way 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.560 upstairs so I could watch TV like in a corner, 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.960 in a quiet room. And that room had doors that 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.160 like in August, the wooden doors well from the humidity 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.440 and you can you have to like pull them really hard, 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.000 and they're audible when they open. And I was alone, 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:00.639 and the doors were shut, and no one was in 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.480 the room with me, and I was watching TV, and 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:09.040 I heard a man's deep laugh from right over my shoulder. Ooh, girl, 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.960 when I tell you, I flew low across the house 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.359 like when I turned around, there was no one in 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:17.440 the room with me. The doors were still shut to 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:21.080 the room, and I had to go past whatever just 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.480 laughed at me to get to my room, my whatever 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.639 safe space. I didn't sleep. 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:32.400 Do you think it was the same as the night 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:33.840 the night caressor? 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:34.680 I do. 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.120 Now, did your parents or anybody else in the house 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:39.960
