00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:28.280
A cool friend. It's me Adrian or Aiden. Either way,

2
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.719
I am still your host and you are still listening

3
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.799
to SOUSTO, the Podcast of paranormal folklore from Latin American cultures.

4
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.759
Welcome back, thank you for reanimating, for rejoining me, and

5
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.840
if this is your first time, thank you so much

6
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.679
for being here. I've gotten comments from first timers, like

7
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.240
this one from Shadow on the Witch Trials of Chilowe

8
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.719
and Shadow said, found you on the Cryptid Cocktail interdimensional Swap.

9
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.560
Major shout out to Cryptic Cocktail Party for doing that

10
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.200
swap with us last episode. Shadow continues, I'm really liking

11
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.280
this podcast, Shadow, I like it too. I love everything

12
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.400
Cryptid and love learning from other cultures. My mother was

13
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.599
from Limerick, Ireland. They have tons of cool shit. Pops

14
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.239
was from the American South and they have some wonky

15
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.359
shit too lol. Looking forward to going through your back

16
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.840
catalog and then two of these guys, these Cowabunga scigns,

17
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.439
which you can see if you're subscribed on Patreon. Thank you, Shadow,

18
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.640
that is so cool. Listen. There is tons of times

19
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:31.280
where I come across folklore from other cultures. Of course,

20
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.680
we're constantly doing that on the show, and I'm sure

21
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.920
that I've made connections to stories from Ireland. Ireland has

22
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.640
some of the coolest stories out there. It has some

23
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.719
amazing history. I also looked up this place, Limerick, and

24
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.920
it's beautiful. I want to go visit. Jeff and I

25
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.760
have been wanting to visit Ireland for so so so long.

26
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.000
It's beautiful. It's just a little expensive right now, but

27
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.439
that is definitely on our list of places that we

28
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.840
want to travel to listen. I don't know what it is,

29
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.480
or I do know what it is. It's history, but

30
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.439
the Irish Mexican solidarity is so strong, so I'm excited

31
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.400
to go and be with my Irish brethren and just

32
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.159
like revel in the anti authoritarianism that I know runs

33
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.199
deep in the Irish roots as well, So very excited

34
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.199
for that. Either way, I'm so glad that you're liking

35
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:21.879
the show Shadow, and I hope that you continue to

36
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.840
like it really quick. I want to do a recap

37
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.639
of some things. A lot has happened since I last

38
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.599
spoke to you. Strange and Extraordinary Fest was last Saturday

39
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.240
from when this episode comes out, and it was so

40
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.560
much fun. I am definitely adding host and MC to

41
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.719
my resume. They asked me to m see the event,

42
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.000
and I was not gonna lie pretty nervous because I'd

43
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.319
never done anything like that before. I've sat on panels,

44
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.039
I've done interviews, I guess in a way I have,

45
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:50.599
like I've led my own.

46
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.879
Events, but they're very small kind of.

47
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.639
This is the thing that we're like, we're doing like

48
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.039
a live storytelling, right, so it's just like doing Sustal

49
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.759
in person. This was something completely different. I was essentially

50
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.960
guiding the audience through the entire experience through the day

51
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.960
full of panels. I was there from eleven am till

52
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.039
eight pm, and there was back to back sessions all

53
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.039
day long. It was so much fun. I met a

54
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.520
lot of cool people. I'm very happy. I was very

55
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.680
proud of myself at the end, especially because a handful

56
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.000
of people made it a point to come up to

57
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.159
me and let me know, Hey, you're doing a great job.

58
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.039
It's been so entertaining. It's so much fun. Like in

59
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.719
terms of what I was doing up there, which I

60
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.439
was just trying to be my be yourself, I really

61
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.240
was just trying to be myself, but still you know,

62
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.120
try and be a professional, right, Like we were there

63
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.319
to do something. So shout out to the organizers and

64
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.400
everybody who attended and all of the speakers and the

65
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.039
vendors who participated. I thought it was really cool. So listen,

66
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.360
the goal is bookable. If you want me to MC

67
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.120
your event to host something for you, I got it.

68
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.560
Apparently I can do it. So you let me know.

69
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.879
That was so much fun. But anyway, something else that

70
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.000
happened this weekend Sunday. This last Sunday, we had our

71
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.240
book club meeting for Witchcraft for a Wayward Girls by

72
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.319
Grady Hendrix. I think the scale of the book club,

73
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.639
which I haven't really spoken about too much publicly, but

74
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.639
the scale for the Susto spell book Club is a

75
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.160
book is either cursed it's text so it's maybe we

76
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.160
didn't like it so much, or it's charmed and we

77
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.680
liked it a lot. And on the spectrum, this one

78
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.480
fell more on the charmed side. I'm gonna give her

79
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.720
really quick. My personal opinion is I have read almost

80
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.279
all of Grady Hendricks's work, and he is one of

81
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.079
my favorite authors. I really enjoy reading his books. This

82
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.120
one I did enjoy it, but I would have to

83
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.639
say I think it falls towards the bottom of like

84
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.759
if I had to rank all the books that I've

85
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.959
read from him, and that's just my personal opinion, and

86
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.519
that is also because I still did really like it,

87
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.360
So it's not like it wasn't good. It's just that

88
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.199
I would encourage you to read his other books as

89
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.920
well on top of this one, because they're all really

90
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.319
really good. With that being said, the next book should

91
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.920
have been announced by the time that this airs, So

92
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.399
if you're listening to this publicly, it comes out for

93
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.079
everybody on Thursday, So that means that this was announced yesterday. Yes,

94
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:12.839
if you were a subscriber on Patreon, that means that

95
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.480
you get the episodes early in ad free, So this

96
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.199
may be announced tomorrow or today, depending on when you're listening. Hey,

97
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:20.839
listen at the end of the day. Just make sure

98
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.759
that you're following social media at sustol podcast on every

99
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.279
platform and you will get any and all updates about

100
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.120
the show, including the book club and what we are reading. Reminder,

101
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.000
the book club is open to anybody. Anybody can join in.

102
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.879
You just grab your copy of the book you read

103
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.120
along throughout the month, and then we have the meeting

104
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.759
at the end of the month. However, Patreon subscribers do

105
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.000
get to vote on what we read, and they have

106
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.680
access to the Discord channel throughout the month of the reading.

107
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.800
It's a spoiler free channel. We do just kind of

108
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.399
like update, like where you at, where you at? Did

109
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:48.040
you read this yet?

110
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:48.560
What did you think?

111
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.079
So it's a lot of fun. I have one with that.

112
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.199
At least, speaking of fun, something really cool is happening.

113
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.600
Sousto's seventh anniversary is coming up this month in April.

114
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.839
It's April nineteenth, which is mind blowing. I say this

115
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.839
every time I say this every year. It's mind blowing.

116
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.720
Seven years we've been doing this.

117
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.800
So I don't really.

118
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.759
Have anything big planned. I will say, though, I think

119
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.920
by then something that Jeff and I have been working

120
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.600
on will have come to fruition. Two things actually, And

121
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.560
I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say

122
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.360
I have been dropping hints on Instagram and I think

123
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:27.079
I may drop a major hint on Patreon before an

124
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.720
announcement happens. But I don't want to jinx it, you know,

125
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.800
I just I want to I want to let it

126
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.360
happen and then we'll see it, and who knows. Maybe

127
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.319
I'm doing all this talking now and then it doesn't happen, right,

128
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.040
But I highly doubt it because we have put a

129
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.439
lot of work into this. What I feel is the

130
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.399
next evolution of the show. I think it's the next step,

131
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.600
and I'm very very excited, and I'm very excited to

132
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.399
share it with you all. So yeah, just stay tuned

133
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.120
for updates. Okay, All right, With all of that being said,

134
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.759
we are going to go ahead and get into today's episode,

135
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.519
which is a Letters from the Beyond episode, and I

136
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.800
want to encourage you all to continue sending in your stories.

137
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.839

138
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.360
a story button. It's also on my link tree if

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.199
you're on social media, and there's also a link to

140
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.120
that in the description of this episode. It's a really

141
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.040
nifty little Google form. You just fill it out send

142
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.639
your story in. If you have multiple stories, please put

143
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.879
them all in one entry or separate ones however you

144
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.439
feel comfortable. You can also send in multimedia. There's a

145
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.439
little section in that where you can drop in your media.

146
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.160
So if you have a photo, a video, an EVP,

147
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.920
anything that you think I should share on the show

148
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.680
or on social media, please feel free to send it in.

149
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.959
We love to hear your stories here, and there's some

150
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.759
of my favorite episodes, because that's what this show is

151
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.000
all about, right, It's all about swapping the scary story.

152
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.879
So again, make sure that you share yours prod around.

153
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.680
Ask your family, ask your friend, ask your co workers.

154
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.920
Do you have any scary stories? Has anything weird or

155
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.399
spooky happened to you? And then either you send it

156
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.240
to me or you have them send it to me

157
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.279
and you watch them. You say, open it on your

158
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.560
phone right now and you watch them. I'm kidding, but

159
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.680
I would highly encourage that you encourage your wool friends

160
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.879
to send their stories in because that's what keeps this

161
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.639
kind of episode going in. I don't know about you,

162
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:08.120
but I.

163
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:08.639
Really like it.

164
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.240
Okay, all of that out of the way, let's go

165
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:26.439
ahead and get into today's Letters from the Beyond. So

166
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.720
this first one is actually more of a follow up,

167
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.559
I would say, than like a full story. But this

168
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.200
is from Elena, and Elena wrote in hello Aiden or

169
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.759
Orla Aiden, Hello Elena or Orla Elena. My name is Elena.

170
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.039
If I say Elena one more time, And I was

171
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.000
Liam's sister who introduced me to your podcast and the

172
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.919
one who watches The Exorcist the Conjuring the Nun at

173
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.840
three am and doesn't get scared. If y'all remember, Liam

174
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.639
wrote in the I think the most recent episode of

175
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.000
Letters from the Beyond, so Letters from the Beyond number nine.

176
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:00.200
Liam wrote in about some.

177
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.919
Experiences that his sister had, and Elena is now writing

178
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.279
into us, and she continues, he only has one sister

179
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.720
who is me, and I've turned sixteen on the fourteenth

180
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.480
of January.

181
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.480
Happy belated birthday.

182
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.960
Elena, She continues. My story goes that I went to

183
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:18.440
the Cooper Queen Hotel with my friend Amata, Keana, Kathleen,

184
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:23.559
Alexis or Alexi and Lily earlier in January, just after

185
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.919
New Year's and it was a very unforgettable experience. For

186
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.399
those who don't know, The Copper Queen Hotel is a

187
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:34.480
three star hotel in Bisbee, Arizona, USA, and it's famous

188
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.600
for being haunted by several ghosts, including a woman named

189
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:43.200
Julia Llel often in Room three fifteen, a mysterious Irish

190
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.799
Stonemason who fell from Room two eighteen, and a young

191
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:51.879
boy named Billy. The ghosts Julia Llel in Room three fifteen.

192
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.039
The most infamous spirit a woman who reportedly haunts the hotel,

193
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.480
with only men seeing her apparition and hearing her voice. Billy,

194
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.799
a young boy whose voice and laughter are heard but

195
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:08.000
who has never been seen. The Stone Mason, an Irish

196
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.519
stone mason who died after falling from Room two eighteen,

197
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.720
making it a particularly active spot. Other spirits, a bearded

198
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.200
man lurking in shadows, and a woman who tragically took

199
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.159
her own life, are also reported. The story is that

200
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.759
I was playing charades with my friends in Room two

201
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.240
eighteen and we were laughing and having fun. When it

202
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.200
was Keana's turn. She went up and we all swore

203
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.840
we heard a little kid laughing. We brushed it off

204
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.399
until Amada finally guessed what Kana was acting, and as

205
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.000
Amada went to grab her phone, it wasn't there. She

206
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.799
found it in the bathroom the next day. On the

207
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.879
last night, we all had our suitcases packed.

208
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.159
By the door.

209
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.360
When we woke up, the room was a mess and

210
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.360
our suitcases were by the window, open and empty. We

211
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.240
don't all know what happened, but each night we heard

212
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.519
a kid laughing and believed it was Billy, the kid

213
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.200
who haunts the hotel. Take care of yourself, aiden yours truly, Elena, Elena,

214
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.799
thank you so much. That is honestly, I don't know

215
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.559
how y'all even made it to that final night after

216
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.840
hearing all of those things and your items being moved around,

217
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.559
and then on top of all of that, your final night,

218
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:25.120
Billy the Kid played this wild prank on you. Honestly.

219
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.639
Here's the thing, though, is I am the type of

220
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.240
person when I travel, I become more type A like.

221
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.080
I'm the kind of person that when I get to

222
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.679
my hotel room, I unpack. I move into that room,

223
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.519
so that means I take all of my clothing out

224
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.200
of my bag or my suitcase whatever it is, which

225
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.200
is folded pristinely by the way, and then I place

226
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.720
it into the dressers that are in there. Of course

227
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.000
I always check the bibles for money first, you never know.

228
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.159
But I place my clothes I laid like if it's

229
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:54.879
my room, everything is laid out. And then I go

230
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.919
in the restroom and I lay out all my toilet

231
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.879
trees on the counter, and I set up all of

232
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.000
my shower stuff in the shower like I fully like

233
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.480
I need I neither to be a routine. That being said,

234
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.639
when I'm leaving hotel room the night before, I go

235
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.639
through and I pack what I don't need to see

236
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.759
until I get back home, and I set up, like

237
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.720
especially the restroom stuff, like the toilet trees and my

238
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.759
skincare routine and all that stuff. I set it up

239
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.200
in a way that I'm like, as soon as I'm

240
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.360
done using it the next morning before I leave, it

241
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.200
goes in the bag and it's ready to go. You know,

242
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.879
there's a whole system. So if I, like you all

243
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.600
were packed, you were ready. If I had pre packed,

244
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.080
I did all that work, and then I find out

245
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.399
that Billy the kid just tossed my shit around as

246
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:40.080
a joke. I would first of all rude. I would

247
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.159
be so mad. I'd more than scared. I'd be like, dude, really,

248
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.879
I have a system. Why would you do this to me?

249
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.039
I have to now do everything all over again. So

250
00:12:48.360 --> 00:13:04.159
terrible joke that Billy played on you all. This next

251
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.559
submission is from Cassandra, and Cassandra said, without my little sister,

252
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.519
I would have thought I was out of my mind.

253
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.240
From the time we could talk, we told our parents

254
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.320
we could see things in the middle of the night,

255
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.440
we would wake them up. Mom, I'm scared, there's a

256
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.600
little girl in my room. Dad, I saw the old

257
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.519
man again. Just go back to sleep, honey, it was

258
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.720
just a dream. Eventually, my sister started knocking on my

259
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:36.360
door instead. Did you see them tonight, Yeah, I'd say,

260
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.799
and she'd crawl under the covers together. Was the only

261
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.360
way we were able to sleep. Our house was half

262
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.480
a mile from a cemetery. We went there often to

263
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.000
play and talk with the spirits and shadows lurking between

264
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:50.919
the headstones.

265
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.279
We peeked at coffins.

266
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.279
Visible in the side of newly dug graves, and always

267
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.600
knew when a funeral was.

268
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:58.440
About to happen.

269
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:04.799
One evening, standing near the entrance, a voice yelled, get out, rude.

270
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.440
I think I know it's getting late, but he could

271
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.120
have asked nicely. Seeing, hearing, and feeling entities became commonplace.

272
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.240
We could hear them chatting and moving things around in

273
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.720
the kitchen, and see them darting between rooms.

274
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:19.919
Almost every day.

275
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.519
During a particularly active time, we regularly saw a little girl,

276
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.720
the old.

277
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.600
Man, and the lady.

278
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.279
In an attempt to verify our experiences, we each took

279
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.000
out a piece of paper and described these three to

280
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:40.200
show each other. We wrote down the same defining characteristics.

281
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.960
The little girl curly blonde hair, wearing a goofy white

282
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.159
dress covered in lace, always mischievous and smiling. The old

283
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.480
man a big, downturned nose with long white hair that

284
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:02.200
hung over his chest. The lady straight, black hair, black clothes, skinny.

285
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.240
We could never see her face. We didn't like the lady.

286
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.080
The old man appeared to me often. I slowly got

287
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.159
the impression he wanted something from me. So one day

288
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.600
in the cemetery, I listened, go to the back under

289
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.000
the pine tree. There I found a headstone hidden under

290
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.279
dirt and grass. I cleared the debris, pulled the weeds

291
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.279
around the forgotten stone, and placed a wild flower there

292
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.320
for good measure. With a thank you and a warm feeling,

293
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.080
I didn't see the old man again. The little girl

294
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.639
preferred my sister. She would peek around corners, ringlets, bobbing

295
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.600
and giggling, teasing my sister to join her in a

296
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.320
game of hide and seek. One night, my cousin became

297
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:55.000
involuntarily included in our little world. My sister and I

298
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.879
were playing in her room when our cousin came in

299
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.279
with a confused look to me, my sister. He asked,

300
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.279
how did you change so fast?

301
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:04.639
Change?

302
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.679
She questioned that big white dress, why were you wearing it?

303
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.080
And how did you get from the living room to hear?

304
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.960
She's been in here with me since you got here,

305
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.639
I offered, as his eyes widened and his skin grew pale.

306
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.759
We laughed it must have been his first time seeing

307
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:27.519
a ghost. As for the lady, we couldn't sleep when

308
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.600
she was close. We could feel her coming down the

309
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.519
hallway and quickly turn on all the lights and huddle

310
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.679
together under our blankets. She would stand in the doorway

311
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:44.080
just watching us, her face blurry and contorted. On nights

312
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.200
we were able to fall asleep, we would wake up screaming,

313
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.960
with her standing over our beds, her oily black hair

314
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:56.200
and tattered dress inches from our face. Our parents eventually

315
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.559
listened to us and called in a priest to send

316
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.519
her away. I ever had the courage to ask her

317
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:06.400
what she wanted. Cassandra, this is amazing writing. If you

318
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.359
ever feel like writing a story for SUSTL, you let

319
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.319
me know you send one in and we will work

320
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.559
it out. Because this was great. I mean, I truly

321
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.400
I would imagine experiencing these things would be terrifying if

322
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.000
these were actual experiences. But this was just so like written,

323
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.960
like a true narrative. I loved reading this. I'd like

324
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.039
and when I first got it, and I love reading

325
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.400
it just now for everyone. Also, the bravery of you

326
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:35.160
and your sister to just go play at the cemetery nearby.

327
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.480
I remember this reminded me the first time that I

328
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:43.079
ever played with in quotes or used a Ouiji board

329
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.559
or a spirit board, a talkingboard, what have you. I

330
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.799
was at Surprise, Surprise theater camp, the first time I

331
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:51.079
ever went to a theater camp.

332
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:52.200
Was it the first time?

333
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.680
Anyway? And one night we had like an off night

334
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.599
where we didn't need to be up super early the

335
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.319
next day, and so the group of boys that I

336
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.279
made friends with, which was a couple of guys from

337
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.759
my high school and then a couple of other guys.

338
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.400
This was happening at some community college here in Texas.

339
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.519
I forgot where exactly, but we were staying in the dorms.

340
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.000
We realized on the first night that we were there

341
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.440
that the boys dorm where we were staying there was

342
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.640
like an alley way behind it, and then right on

343
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.039
the other side of the alley, like ten fifteen feet

344
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.559
away from the rooms was a cemetery and obviously we

345
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.880
weren't allowed to go in there, and they had people

346
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:28.680
making sure that we weren't sneaking out of the dorm

347
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.400
at night whatever. But this like we could be within

348
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.319
the dorm hanging out. And so on this night we

349
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.039
were like, oh, fun, we can stay up late, we

350
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.720
can hang out. You know, we're high schoolers, were kids,

351
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.000
so we like wanted to have fun because we.

352
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.400
Didn't need to wake up early anyway.

353
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.720
So our idea of fun was to make a makeshift

354
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.160
Ouiji board. So of course we had paper and like

355
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.799
markers and stuff, and so somebody drew it out and

356
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.720
then I forgot what someone used. I think someone had

357
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.640
like broken their glasses or something, or like their lens

358
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.119
popped out of their glasses. So we were using the

359
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.759
lens as the plant chet. And that was the first

360
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.359
time that I ever used a Ouigia board. And that

361
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.319
night we swore, you know, we swore that we were

362
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:14.559
getting a genuine response and based on some of the

363
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:16.559
other because I know I can say to this day

364
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.160
that I was not forcing the thing to move, and

365
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.000
the other guys that I was playing with. Based on

366
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.880
the reactions, it seemed very genuine, especially this one guy

367
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.519
who I still remember. He got a message from allegedly

368
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.480
from a friend of his who had passed away, and

369
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.559
he was asking things that seemingly nobody else really knew

370
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.240
the answer to, and he had such an emotional reaction

371
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.200
to it that he it was like so it wasn't

372
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.799
even like scary for him, It was more emotional that

373
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.519
That's what caused him to like want to end it.

374
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:47.839
He was like, all right, we need to stop. I

375
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.440
don't want to do this anymore. And I could tell

376
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.519
he was like really shaken by it. But of course

377
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.079
because the cemetery was right there, so I'm also I'm

378
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.720
like shocked by your bravery as a child to go

379
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.920
play in the cemetery. But also I was kind of

380
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:00.519
same way.

381
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:00.759
You know.

382
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.720
Also even in my hometown, there's this one cemetery. If

383
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.359
anybody out there knows this, if anybody out there is

384
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.200
from ed Keuchelsea or has been there, there's that one

385
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:13.400
cemetery in ed Couch that's like in the like the

386
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.759
Boonie's part of the town, like way.

387
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.079
In the back.

388
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.720
That place was allegedly haunted, like weird things happened there.

389
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.160
I want to say. My sister said that she saw

390
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.880
something weird there one night. I should ask her about that, actually,

391
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.200
but my friends and I would go visit that place too,

392
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:31.160
so it's not like too far festive an idea for weird.

393
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.720
I was like us, I guess anyway, Thank you Cassandra

394
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:49.640
for sending this ine all right. This next one is

395
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.799
from Zach, and Zach wrote, my name is Zach, and

396
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.039
I love the paranormal. It's always interested me as a kid,

397
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.079
but it wasn't until my teens that I actively engaged

398
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.839
in it. I'd always been a little sensitive to energies

399
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.119
and saw things here and there throughout my childhood. Some

400
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:08.599
background about me. First, though, I grew up attending Catholic school,

401
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:11.920
and although my family isn't strictly religious, there were some

402
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:15.440
things that were off limits, that being the Luigi board.

403
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.119
My then high school girlfriend had one. Although we played

404
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.480
with Luigi more than once in multiple locations, I want

405
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.440
to share the time I didn't play and something was

406
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.759
haunting her. From the beginning, we encountered what was said

407
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.119
to be a child spirit, and I could say the

408
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.880
energy was off. We asked if there were other spirits

409
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.960
in the apartment complex, to which our spirit, who we

410
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:44.039
nicknamed Soul, said yes. In the apartment next door, there

411
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.920
was a darkness, something that didn't feel right. My then

412
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.160
girlfriend Jesse would dog sit for the neighbor and mentioned

413
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.359
how the apartment always felt heavy, but chalked it up

414
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.240
to the lack of light. The neighbor was a young

415
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:01.119
guy living on his own. He rarely was there, but

416
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:04.799
was a good guy overall. We had gone through a

417
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.240
time when we hadn't played the board for a while.

418
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.359
Her mental health was not the greatest during this time,

419
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:14.039
and it typically isn't encouraged if your mental health isn't steady.

420
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.519
The moments where I felt everything was okay, I'd ask

421
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:20.359
if we were going to play. Her response would always

422
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.160
suddenly be I'm not in the mood, when for the

423
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:27.000
longest time it was her suggestion. One night we got

424
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.640
home kind of early, I wanted to play given that

425
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:31.759
her dad was gone to bed early and had the

426
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:33.079
energy for a long night.

427
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.039
She quickly turned down the.

428
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:38.440
Idea, which left me puzzled again, but alas the night

429
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.759
went on, once in bed, I tended to sleep on

430
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.440
the outer side of the bed facing out to the room.

431
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:49.640
It wasn't an issue until tonight. I typically sleep with

432
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.839
my back facing the rest of the room as I

433
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.000
would cuddle her to sleep. For some odd reason, I

434
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.000
was facing the room when my eyes opened. I don't

435
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.640
typically wake up through the night, only if her dog Bruha,

436
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.880
would be snoring in my ear to wake up and

437
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.000
carry her onto the bed. In the midst of waking,

438
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.920
I didn't even go through a drowsy state. I felt

439
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.400
very alert. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I

440
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.559
was able to make out a shape kneeling in front

441
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.720
of her desk. By this point, my eyes had adjusted

442
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.920
and I could see around her room. It wasn't very dark,

443
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.640
since light came from outside, but this figure was a

444
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.680
void and it was wrong. The mere fact that it

445
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.039
was in a traditional Catholic kneeling position of prayer automatically

446
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:42.480
told me it was mocking. This figure was mocking my background.

447
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.559
I would say.

448
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.119
I stared at it for a moment until it recognized

449
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.799
or felt me looking at it, because its head slowly

450
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.319
started to turn to face me. Nope, nope, nope. I

451
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.559
quickly turned around, pulled the blanket over me, and grabbed

452
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.880
onto Jesse, who, because of my jostling, woke up. What's wrong,

453
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.559
she asked me, sleepily under the blanket I pulled over us.

454
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.359
Just hold me and don't look behind me.

455
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:10.799
Please.

456
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.759
At this point, my biggest fear was that the figure

457
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.599
was going to pull me out of bed. I could

458
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.519
only describe this sense of dread and fear I have

459
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.039
never felt before, just pulling me to want to turn around,

460
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:28.240
but I knew better. The curiosity got the better of her,

461
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.920
and she peeked out of the blanket towards the room.

462
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.799
You saw something.

463
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.279
She sounded a bit confused and puzzled, and I knew

464
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.039
she wasn't seeing what I saw.

465
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.000
I'll tell you about it in the morning. Just please

466
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.920
don't let go of me.

467
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.119
I still felt that dreadful fear, and I knew it

468
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:47.960
was still there.

469
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.440
It was mocking me.

470
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:53.119
In all my experience, this level of fear was unknown

471
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.240
and it was malicious. She could hear it in my

472
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:58.599
voice and the way I was holding on to her

473
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.200
that she accepted having to wait until morning. I don't

474
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.119
remember when I actually fell asleep, but eventually I did,

475
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.920
and just as promised, the next morning, she right away

476
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.799
asked what had happened. I told her, and even demonstrated

477
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.359
where and how the figure was posed. She didn't really

478
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.160
say much, which should have been a red flag. I

479
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.039
kept repeating how I didn't know where this energy came from,

480
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:27.559
especially since we hadn't been playing. She eventually broke her

481
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:32.000
silence guilt. Perhaps she admitted to playing alone one night.

482
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:35.240
One night, she was terribly angry and emotional, but she

483
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:40.240
said nothing happened, nothing moved or anything. I don't believe her,

484
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:43.640
even to this day. I really feel her emotions caught

485
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.640
the attention of a dark energy and it's been attached

486
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.920
to her. Her life has been bumpy, to say the least.

487
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:53.000
We've spoken to each other here and there over the years,

488
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.720
and her energy has been more and more dull each

489
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.160
time we see each other. Her dad's wife, who was

490
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.440
a type of meeting, had always avoided her room when

491
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.400
they lived in that apartment, claiming that there was too

492
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:09.680
much energy, and eventually she read her cards. Jesse, My

493
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:13.240
then girlfriend, told me Letty her dad's wife told her

494
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.680
she had a dark energy around her. I don't think

495
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.200
it's related to that night, but it lives in my head,

496
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:22.480
rent Free. I do believe it has impacted her mental

497
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:25.880
health throughout the years too. I've brought it up, but

498
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.000
she doesn't seem to believe. So hope this was spooky enough.

499
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.160
I have more if you'd like. My friend group did

500
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:35.000
a whole Wigi summer loo. Well okay, so instead of

501
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:37.880
hot girl summer, or even instead of hot Ghoul summer,

502
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.720
it's Wuigi board summer, right. I think that's the new one.

503
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.559
I need to make a sticker or a shirt or

504
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:46.200
something that is so fun. Listen, I feel bad, you know,

505
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:49.319
for your ex. That's obviously like not a spot that

506
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:51.799
someone wants to be in, and you even mentioned it.

507
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:54.880
You hit the nail on the head where when someone

508
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:59.400
is in an emotionally vulnerable kind of space or like

509
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.079
even like a stressed out headspace, and we've talked about

510
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.400
this before on the show, that's not really a good

511
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:08.279
mindset or a good place to be emotionally or spiritually

512
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:13.400
when you're entertaining or working with these kinds of things,

513
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.279
whether it's purely like I said, from an entertainment standpoint,

514
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.480
or if you are attempting to work with spirit if

515
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.720
this is your religion, it's always best to be in

516
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.480
a sort of like level headed space and more calm space,

517
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:28.759
because even if you look into a lot of practices,

518
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.240
they will a lot of it starts with meditating. It's

519
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.559
always you got to meditate. You have to ground yourself,

520
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:37.839
you have to set your intention, you have to you know,

521
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.319
set the circle of light, whatever it might be. There's

522
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:43.200
always this idea of like grounding and like getting your

523
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:46.720
shit together basically before doing any of that work. With

524
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.920
that being said, it seems like, yeah, you're right, she

525
00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:54.440
may need some help that is more of like a

526
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:57.640
mental health and like a health kind of intervention before

527
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.640
a spiritual one. Or at the same time, like I

528
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.359
mentioned earlier, the first time I ever played with a

529
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:05.160
board was when I was in high school, and then

530
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:08.200
I don't think i'd ever done it again from then

531
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.119
until maybe like even just a couple years ago, Like

532
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.079
it had been a while because I did it that once,

533
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.480
and like I said, that guy he had such a

534
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.079
strong reaction to it, and it put him in this

535
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.599
headspace where again he wasn't even scared, he was just emotional.

536
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.440
And I think that quote unquote scared me more than

537
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.400
anything else. Was like, oh, like this could make you

538
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.359
confront something that you're not ready to handle, and not

539
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:35.359
even like a spirit or an entity or what have you.

540
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.839
I'm talking about like mental emotional things that maybe you

541
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.960
were not ready to deal with. This can surface that

542
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.599
And so maybe that happened that night where she said

543
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.279
that she played without you, and she claims that nothing happened,

544
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.880
but maybe it's not like, oh, like something scary happened

545
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.279
or this entity or whatever, but it's like it made

546
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.799
her confront something that she wasn't ready for. And there

547
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.200
are I'm sure entities that feed on that. They feed

548
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.240
on that lower vibration. So it's not even that she

549
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.559
like welcomed it because she played with the board. It

550
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.119
could be that it was lurking around. For example, here

551
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.400
it is I just got chills. It's tied together in

552
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.599
that apartment next door, where there was already like a dark,

553
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.799
heavy energy. Maybe that thing was already existing there, and

554
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.440
because she had this emotional reaction, it like got us

555
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.000
attention and it was like, oh, I'm going to go

556
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.119
over there now because there's there's a spike in energy,

557
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.240
so I'm gonna feed on that. And so it hung

558
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:30.680
out there and you happened to see it. That's my theory,

559
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.920
and to me, that makes all I listen, I'm kind

560
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.079
of a genius. No I'm not, but I don't know.

561
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.359
That kind of makes sense in my head.

562
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:44.480
What do you think?

563
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:55.559
Okay, this is the last entry and this is from Uri,

564
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:58.599
and Uri says, Hi, I just gave you a five

565
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:03.839
star review on apple pot, Urie, thank you so much. Listen.

566
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.920
You all, following URI's lead, go where everywhere listening, leave

567
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:12.000
a positive rating or review. If there's stars, leave as

568
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.079
many stars as you can. If there's no stars, then

569
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.400
you can only write something. Please ride away, whatever you

570
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.680
can do. It all helps me, so thank you Uri

571
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.680
so much for that. Uri continues really enjoying the show.

572
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.599
I just found you two days ago, and as a

573
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.200
lover of scary stories and the paranormal, I'm truly loving it.

574
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:32.440
I decided to start from the beginning, so I'm on

575
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:33.319
episode eight.

576
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:33.920
Yay.

577
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.519
Anyway, I have a lot of stories, but for some

578
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.839
reason today my dad has been on my mind. I

579
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:43.359
have a couple stories that relate to him. In twenty ten,

580
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:47.640
my dad passed away pretty unexpectedly from cancer. He was

581
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:51.960
and still is my hero, the hardest worker, strongest and

582
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.200
kindest person I've ever known.

583
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:55.039
I was the.

584
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:58.680
Apple of his eye, his first daughter. I have three

585
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:02.400
other siblings. At the time, I was nineteen, my sister

586
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.359
was fifteen, little sister was eleven, and then my little

587
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:09.759
brother was eight. I was the strength of the family

588
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:12.680
at the time, because of course, my mother was a mess,

589
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.000
and at the time I was the only one out

590
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.720
of the house and my mom knew nothing about finances bills.

591
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.839
It all happened within three months. I had it slept

592
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:25.680
in two whole days. I was exhausted when I came

593
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.440
home from the funeral home the day after he passed,

594
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:30.720
and my mom told me to go lay on her

595
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.240
bed and take a nap. I remember it being around

596
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.039
two pm or something like that. There was light out.

597
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:42.400
As I'm laying there falling asleep, absolutely exhausted, crying in

598
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:46.920
disbelief and angry. I started drifting to sleep. I could

599
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.119
still hear chatter in the kitchen. I don't remember who

600
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:52.720
was there, but there were constantly people at our house

601
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.400
during that week. I was laying there with my eyes

602
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.240
closed when I kind of opened my eyes and saw

603
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.279
that my arm was hanging off the side of the

604
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.279
bed as well as my leg. I had just thrown

605
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.160
myself on the bed and I couldn't even move. I

606
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:09.759
started to fall asleep again, when all of a sudden,

607
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:13.480
I felt my dad. I could sort of see him

608
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:16.119
walking towards the bed in my state of half sleep

609
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:19.000
and half awake. It was as if I was watching

610
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.279
him from a camera in the corner, walking towards me.

611
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.079
And that's when I felt my dad's hand to grab

612
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.200
my leg, put it back on the bed, and kind

613
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:32.240
of tucked me under the blanket. I sat up rapidly

614
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:36.119
because I could feel him, I felt his hand. I

615
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.279
was so exhausted at that point, I just figured I

616
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.319
had been dreaming, and that's when I fully drifted to sleep.

617
00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:46.119
Then I had this dream. In the dream, my dad

618
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.079
was sitting on his wheelchair towards the end with chemo

619
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.519
and radiation. He had to be transported as he was

620
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.680
very weak, but still he was the guy racing and

621
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.200
trying to get away from the doctor's in the oncology

622
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.880
wing to make them laugh. Anyway, in the dream, he

623
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.319
was sitting on the wheelchair and it kind of looked

624
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.680
like just a normal hospital room. He was sitting there

625
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.680
and I was freaking out asking him what happened, but

626
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:12.559
he remembered what he saw when he passed away before

627
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.119
the paramedics brought him back, and I'm crying and telling

628
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:18.319
him I thought he was gone. As I'm sitting there

629
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:20.920
kind of on my knees hugging him, he starts telling

630
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.799
me a story. He says, I was in heaven. There

631
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:28.799
were clouds, And the weird part is that as he

632
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.599
is sitting there telling me this story, I could actually

633
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.119
see what he was describing in real time. He continues,

634
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.559
I was in front of this golden gate and I

635
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:39.359
was standing there.

636
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.240
When the door is opened, I.

637
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:45.680
Heard a voice, and the voice said, bienaventurados los Limpio's

638
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.519
the corasson, butgueos veranavjos. He says, he was able to

639
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.359
walk through the door, and in my dream, I could

640
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:55.599
see him on the other side hugging Jesus.

641
00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:59.480
Then I woke up again. I was crying.

642
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.759
It felt so real, like I was just laying there

643
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.960
listening to the story. Every time I tell this story,

644
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:09.400
my mom cries. She says that this was his goodbye

645
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:11.880
to me, that he just wanted me to know that

646
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:16.119
he was okay. We put that Bible verse on his gravestone.

647
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.519
Dream or not, it was the craziest thing. Matthew five eight.

648
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.559
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

649
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:27.119
Beauty.

650
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:32.800
Okay, I had our time reading all of these. There's

651
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:34.480
two more stories from Beauty, by the way, but this

652
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:36.599
one really got me because it reminded me. And I'm

653
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.159
going to try and talk about this without crying. Aiden

654
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:41.679
don't cry, challenge, try that challenge. This reminded me of

655
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:44.039
a friend of mine. And I had a friend who

656
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.079
passed away when I was in high school. He was

657
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:52.280
in a terrible accident and his name was Martine and

658
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.920
I remember after he passed. And the reason that this

659
00:34:56.199 --> 00:35:01.000
struck me so hard was because I had a dream

660
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:04.239
after he passed that I walked into a hospital room

661
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.599
and it was one of those like from the movies,

662
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.119
like a hospital galley room. I don't know if that

663
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.719
makes sense, but like where there's multiple beds and there's

664
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.280
like the curtains dividing the beds. And I remember walking

665
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:21.599
into this large room with all the beds, and as

666
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.440
I was walking down, I like all the rest of

667
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:25.679
them were empty. But as I was walking down, I

668
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:28.840
looked to my left and I remember this dream so clearly,

669
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:34.320
and Martin was sitting in one of the beds, and

670
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.599
I started asking him questions like this too, like you said,

671
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:41.559
you know, you're freaking out, and because like in the dream,

672
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:43.639
like you said, here you thought he was gone. I

673
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.639
was like, I in the dream, I knew that Marden

674
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.480
was gone. I went to his funeral, I said goodbye

675
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:54.400
to him, and I was asking him what happened, what happened?

676
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:55.440
Are you okay? Where are you?

677
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:57.199
I was like, I thought you were gone. Where are you?

678
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:02.039
He was like, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm okay. I'm

679
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:06.039
not hurting. He said, they're taking really good care of

680
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.159
me here. They're taking really good care of me here.

681
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:10.559
And I was like, are you sure. I was like,

682
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:11.480
are you sure you don't want.

683
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:11.800
To come back?

684
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:15.559
You can come back. He said no, he said I

685
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.679
can't come back, but it's okay. I'm fine. He was

686
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:21.360
like I'm fine, I'm okay. And I was like, all right, man.

687
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.199
It was like I was in high school, you guys,

688
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:26.760
and I was like, all right, man. I was like,

689
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:27.559
we really.

690
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:29.880
Miss you, and he was like, he was like, it's okay.

691
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.760
He was like, tell everyone that I'm fine. He was like,

692
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:37.280
I know that y'all miss me. But tell everyone, I'm okay,

693
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:43.519
I'm sorry, y'all, but this story, that hospital setting like that,

694
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:48.079
I had the dream so similar and I had to

695
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:49.719
say bye to him, and I knew. I don't know

696
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.000
what it was, but I knew for some reason in

697
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.079
the dream that that was the last time I was

698
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:58.239
going to see him. And I prayed so many times

699
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.079
to see him again, to have more dreams about him.

700
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:03.320
But I just I knew. I knew, like you said,

701
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:10.039
like that was his goodbye to me, because I never

702
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.960
got I never got to say goodbye to him. And

703
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:18.039
so God, you read this story really got me. You

704
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:21.960
can tell. And I'm sorry forgetting super emotional, y'all, but

705
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:24.800
this is a beautiful story. Thank you so much. I'm

706
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:26.840
gonna read through the rest of them, but I thought

707
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:30.639
I would share my story with you. I don't remember

708
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.280
the last time I spoke about that. I think after

709
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:35.079
I had that dream, I told my mom, probably, and

710
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.760
I'm sure she said something similar like, well me, old

711
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:39.360
you you have to say goodbye, you have to let

712
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:41.599
him go, and I didn't want to, and I was

713
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:44.559
angry too. That was one of my best friends when

714
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.360
I was a kid, and it sucks to lose anyone

715
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:54.440
you know, ooh Yuri. Okay, moving on to story too.

716
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.079
There's a reason that I saved these for the end,

717
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.519
because I knew this was going to happen. Okay, Story two.

718
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:05.679
Fast forward to twenty twelve. The healing has begun. Life

719
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.119
is rough, but we're adjusting. We lived in Texas while

720
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.760
my mom and siblings still lived in a little mountaintown

721
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.719
in New Mexico. We were headed that way. It was

722
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.400
the night before Christmas Eve. There was a storm coming,

723
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:19.599
and we decided last minute that we would make the

724
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.280
drive that night before the storm hit and we were

725
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:24.880
stuck in Texas without our family at Christmas.

726
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.920
We were exhausted.

727
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:29.719
It was probably three thirty in the morning. At this time,

728
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:31.760
we had made it most of the way. We were

729
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:34.000
almost in the last hour of our four hour trip,

730
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.599
which ended up being longer as the storms rolled in.

731
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.000
We had been keeping each other awake by talking. My

732
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:42.320
ex husband was driving and my daughter was in the

733
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:46.559
back asleep. We had run out of energy to talk,

734
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:49.679
and I'm in the passenger seat, exhausted, not wanting to

735
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:53.119
fall asleep, and watching my ex drive. He kept rubbing

736
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:55.280
his eyes and I could tell he could not wait

737
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:57.239
to stop at the next gas station.

738
00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:58.320
To get an energy drink.

739
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.039
We start going uphill on the last hill before the

740
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:05.480
next town, when in the windshield we see a huge

741
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.440
white wing. My ex kind of slammed on the brakes

742
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:11.199
and we both yelled what the hell was that?

743
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.559
We were shook.

744
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.000
We both saw the wing, each feather. The wing was

745
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:18.800
as big as the windshield, and I mean it was

746
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:21.559
so close to the vehicle that we both thought it

747
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.760
was going to hit the windshield and moved our bodies

748
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:27.960
backwards as far away from the windshield out of instinct.

749
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.039
We could see the details of the wink for a

750
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:35.719
split second and then didn't see it anymore. We rolled

751
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.599
the windows down to see what we could see. We

752
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:41.679
were almost to the next town. It was pitch black

753
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:44.559
except for our headlights, and no other soul was on

754
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:47.400
the road, so we decided to just keep going and

755
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:50.760
pull over. Then we were quiet the rest of the

756
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:54.000
way to the gas station. It looked like an angel wing,

757
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.000
huge white wing. It made me think of an angel

758
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:01.000
costume wing, or it would have to have been a very,

759
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:05.199
very very big bird. We stopped at the gas station,

760
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.400
got coffee and energy drinks, and while he drove. The

761
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.519
last hour, I kept trying to research eagles in the

762
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:15.760
area or different species of birds. Nothing, nothing even close

763
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.039
to the size of the wing we saw, or even

764
00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:21.920
a bright wing like that. To this day, my ex

765
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.599
husband says he was about to fall asleep, so that

766
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:27.079
it was my dad waking him up as he had

767
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:32.880
precious cargo in the vehicle. I believe it, Urie girl.

768
00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:36.760
These are all beautiful experiences. But oh my God, like

769
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:40.280
my heart is, you got me, gl I know your

770
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:42.800
intention was not to do it got me, but to

771
00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:45.960
share these beautiful stories. So again, I thank you once

772
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:48.599
more for sharing that. And that is I truly believe

773
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:51.039
that things like that do happen. You know that we

774
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:55.519
have our guardian angels, that they prevent us from experiencing

775
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.159
bad things, or if we experience bad things, they prevent

776
00:40:58.199 --> 00:40:59.039
them from being worse.

777
00:40:59.159 --> 00:40:59.480
Maybe.

778
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.159
Yeah, I truly believe your dad was watching out for

779
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.360
you and your family and was like, hey, that's my

780
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.559
Nina in the seat, wake up. But then he happened

781
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:11.760
to freak you out in the same time. So yeah, Okay,

782
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:13.800
story three, And before I read this one, I do

783
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:15.880
want to give a heads up so that no one

784
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:18.679
is caught off guard that there is a mention of

785
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:22.599
infant mortality in this story, So if anybody is sensitive

786
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:24.079
to that, I just want you to know that this

787
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.000
story and involves that. But Urie writes, my younger sister

788
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.440
was pregnant with her second daughter when she found out

789
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.000
the baby had a very rare genetic disorder and that

790
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.440
the baby would pass away as soon as she was

791
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:40.199
born due to her lungs not being developed. It was

792
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:45.119
a shock, sadness, and craziness. My mom lived twenty five

793
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.320
hours away from us at the time, and I was

794
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:49.559
even in a different city as my little sister, so

795
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.480
once again I was the strong one in charge of

796
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:54.760
getting my mother from the other side of the country,

797
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.000
flying together, then driving to the hospital where my sister

798
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.159
was for the last twelve hours as they had to

799
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:05.480
induce labor. I had not slept in at least twenty

800
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.679
four hours. We finally got to the hospital and she

801
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.440
was in and out of consciousness as she.

802
00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:12.480
Was very drugged up.

803
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.599
They told us the baby would not be coming just yet,

804
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:17.760
but that they would give us an update in the

805
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.719
next hour. The nurse took one look at me and

806
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:23.280
she said, there's a room two doors down where you

807
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.679
can take a nap. We'll let you know when it's time.

808
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:30.480
I obliged. I lay down on this super uncomfortable hospital

809
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:33.960
bed and I started to fall asleep again, not fully.

810
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.519
I could hear monitors in the distance. I could hear voices,

811
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:41.360
and all of a sudden, I see my dad. I

812
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:44.320
see him next to me as I sleep, I feel

813
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.800
him kind of touching my hair. Then walk to my

814
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:51.079
sister's hospital room. He's in my sister's room. I see

815
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:53.960
my sister crying in pain. All of a sudden, I

816
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:56.679
see my mom on a chair, just sitting there. I

817
00:42:56.719 --> 00:43:00.159
see my dad go close to my sister, kiss her forehead,

818
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:02.800
and then I see him holding a tiny baby in

819
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:06.599
his arms, going to the corner, looking at my mom,

820
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:11.480
then disappearing. I jerked awake and ran out of the door.

821
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:12.800
I opened the.

822
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.119
Door to my sister's room, and my mom is crying

823
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:18.199
and in shock. My sister is screaming, and all I

824
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:20.199
can hear is her screaming my dad was here, My

825
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:23.599
dad was here, My dad was here. Then, being hysterical,

826
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:26.800
the nurse came in with more drugs and they tell

827
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:31.840
us it's time. When she pushed the final time, the

828
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:35.840
baby had already passed. They said the baby never took

829
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:39.960
a breath, she was already gone. When I told my

830
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:42.559
mom about my dream, she just cried and said that

831
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.320
it was crazy because the moment I opened the door

832
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:48.360
without anyone waking me up was the same time my

833
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:51.719
sister had started screaming and pointing at the corner where I.

834
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:52.800
Saw my dad.

835
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:56.400
That was one of the most horrible experiences my family

836
00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.519
had to go through, and I'm glad that my dad

837
00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:02.239
was there watching over us, and I know he's taking

838
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:07.480
care of my niece in heaven. Uri says, thank you.

839
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.760
I hope you enjoy these stories. I know they're a

840
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:13.000
little different, but needless to say, they have stuck with me. Uri,

841
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:16.880
I can absolutely see why these stories have stuck with you.

842
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:21.920
I think, yes, you're right, your family had a horrible experience,

843
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:25.559
several horrible experiences. But if there's any silver lining in this,

844
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:29.920
I think is that you have been gifted several reminders

845
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:32.519
that your dad is still there, that you are being

846
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:35.280
watched over, and I hope that that's a comfort to you.

847
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.920
I can't imagine the kind of loss that you feel,

848
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:41.559
and I'm trying not to get to so you can

849
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:44.559
already hear to my voice, I'm y'all, I am chiyon.

850
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.960
I am such a kry baby, and when somebody shares

851
00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:51.320
like deeply personal experiences like this, it's just like ugh,

852
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:54.480
it rips my little Cancrian heart open and I just

853
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:56.519
feel all the feels for you. So, like I said,

854
00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:59.360
I hope that it brings you some comfort. And I again,

855
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.119
I thank you so much for sharing these stories with

856
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:19.199
us and we're back cool friends. Thank you so much

857
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.519
for listening to today's episode. Thank you to everybody who

00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.440
wrote in, and thank you for powering through with me.

859
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:28.599
I hope I wasn't too much of an emotional mass,

860
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:31.679
but listen, I'm not gonna apologize. I wear my heart

861
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:33.920
on my sleeve and I think it is a strength

862
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:37.199
and I'm not going to feel shamed for feeling feelings

863
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:40.239
because those were some beautiful stories at the end there,

864
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:43.719
