2:00

off in my sleep the end that's all I need that's all you needed to hear okay hi ghostesses my name is Mary

Mary's haunted house

and I love your podcast it's one of my top faves in the weekly rotation at work you guys literally help me get through my work nights so when I was 19 I started dating a guy that I had known my entire life like since I was five whole life I'm also 31 now and he's an ex So eventually when I'm 19 and dating him for a while he eventually asks me to move in with him and his family due to some circumstances on my end it would be me him his mom his dad and his niece living there so I had known them for a super long time and I also knew that when they bought the house it was super haunted great I have so many stories it was so haunted and I was so scared that I used to wake him up in the middle of the night to walk downstairs with me when I had to pee

3:00

so one day all the guys went to work and it was just me his mom and his niece at home it was a pretty lazy day nothing going on his mom and his niece were downstairs watching TV so I was like I'm just going to go take a shower and make myself presentable I go to take a shower I go back upstairs and I get dressed and stuff so in our room I had a dresser with a mirror on top of it and a comfy chair directly in front of it so when I got ready I would stand between the chair and the dresser SL mirror if that makes sense so I put on a T-shirt and some underwear cuz I did not want to put pants on and I'm standing in front of the chair looking in the mirror brushing my hair putting product in it went out of nowhere I feel what feels like a hand grab a whole handful of my butt oh like they were not subtle with it at all cup in the boot like a big old yeah juicy grab juicy grab hey seize the opportunity yeah like I almost feel like they like went in with claw motion yeah they're just they were waiting they were waiting for maryling cuz Mary has a great

4:00

butt they were not subtle at all so I turn and I look around the chair and nothing was there I probably stood there for like 15 seconds before my brain actually registered what happened and nobody being there and I was like what the [ __ ] and my body got that wave of cold and I booked it down the stairs I swear I flew down the stairs like you do in a dream then I'm standing in the middle of the living room in front of his mom and niece in my underwear and they were like what is wrong and I kind of just laughed nervously in disbelief and I pointed up the stairs and I said um something just grabbed my butt upstairs and they both kind of nervous laughed and they're like are you serious to be clear no one was a stranger to hauntings in this house so I made both of them come upstairs to check it out with me and his mom in her sternest mom voice said please leave Mary alone while she's getting dressed that is inappropriate I'm glad she did say that cuz it is inappropriate it is so after that I threw on some pants until my boyfriend got home and I pretty much

5:00

wouldn't be upstairs by myself for a little while another story that happened in this house upstairs again while I was all alone H but this is the good one okay good one is in like good story or good haunting yeah or just consented to the next butt grab we'll find out my boyfriend went and spent the night at his brother's house that night for some reason it was the first time I was sleeping there without him how was I ever to pee in the middle of the night his mom also had a super bad cold around that time so that night she went and took a bunch of nighttime cold medicine and went to sleep and his dad normally slept like a rock anyways so I'm upstairs and it's time to go to bed and I'm wearing a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants I do the feet lift SL blanket tuck under and then tuck myself in on the sides with the blanket like a cocoon so thinking nothing will get me in my blanket burrito I woke up sweating super hot so I start moving around trying to get comfy and then I actually opened my eyes and was looking around because of course I slept with the light on and and I looked down towards my legs and

6:00

realized my sweatpants were laying on top of my blanket I started checking my surroundings looking at the blanket I had tucked in around my legs and I was still tucked in exactly like I was before I fell asleep and it looked like the pants were just laid perfectly on top of me where my legs would have been on top of the blanket hm then I started to kind of freak out and I RI the blanket off of me and inspect my legs to see if there were any marks because I'm thinking the worst at this point but there are no marks nothing on me and then I look at the clock and it's 3:03 a.m. great I literally out loud said [ __ ] I'm so scared to tears at this point I tried calling my boyfriend probably 20 times because I was going to make him come home but he doesn't answer so I yelled for his niece who was across the hall until she woke up and I made her come sleep in the room with me we didn't have cable upstairs just a DVD player and the only movie we had up there was Super Troopers so I watched Super Troopers until the sun came up and then me and his niece went downstairs and slept on the couch all day I never spent the night alone in that house

7:00

again I have so many stories from living there from darting shadow figures to two left bare feet prints on a wet Tin Roof in the middle of the night shut up to a paranormal group literally leaving in the middle of their investigation and never hearing from them again and so many more Mary this is like come on here I was thinking we were getting an email with all of Mary's experiences just these just a teaser thanks for all you do and your awesome stories and research if you read this on the pot I will literally freak out see you on the other side Mary holy crap Mary well this was thank you for sharing this one but now we expect more from you I know I really

The dorm room entity

want to know about well I want to know about the paranormal group who left I think she told us about that in person and I was like can you tell us I want to know about the tin the tin roof Footprints too and two left feet yeah someone doing like a little Hopscotch on the roof real quick I'm going to look and see if Mary sent us any other emails okay cuz then you can read that next

8:00

exactly oh my gosh my mom just texted me and said ask the hotel you're checking into today for the event schedule because there are bag pipes at Sunset sick that amazing okay this is called forgive me Father for I have sinned but this shit's [ __ ] oh [ __ ] okay it is serious okay okay I'm going to put my serious face up great hello girls ghosts and guests g g g my name is Nina and I've been a big fan of your since last year when I had to start commuting an hour one way to work a lot of stories kept me awake on my drive which if they hadn't I'm sure I'd be telling these stories via Ouija board oh no okay we're glad it's not that way I know that I guess that's a good way to keep yourself awake when you're driving it's like listen to something that horrifies you right that's true many of my friends call me a lightning rod for Paranormal Activity possessions exorcisms haunted dolls ghosts of all times and ages aliens demons skin boys

9:00

religious trauma sleep paralysis Shadow People you name it I probably experienced it have you written a book cuz you should I know I will read it well I do consider myself empathic I'm unsure as to why these encounters always seem to find me it's starting to feel like it's not a coincidence you know after 25 years of life can you say denial shees even though I have many stories there's one in particular that I think you would appreciate it's a long one so with me this story takes place during my junior year of undergrad I went to a small liberal arts college in Illinois and I lived in and on campus apartment with four of my friends three of which are pretty to very religious and two of which are agnostic and atheist this will be important later I'll name them Emory Kaye Kylie and Casey and then our emailer Nina okay those are the five roommates also you're you're exposing your feet for free this is a teaser

10:00

full the full foot later I'm at the point where I don't even care we'll put like a little sensor over your feet it's just the big toes on either side which is what people really like all tucked in our apartment had a living room in a kitchen area right when you walked in the door there was a small hallway with two bedrooms mine at the end and Emory's closest to the living room and a bathroom at the end of the hallway to the left there was a longer hallway with three bedrooms cas's closest to the living room Kylie's in in the middle Kay's at the end and the bathroom at the end of the hallway to the right unlike many of the buildings on campus this one was brand new but we all know that that doesn't mean anything I also lived in one of the oldest and my room just happened to be the one in which a student had accidentally shot himself oh go go figure that's probably a story for the campfire oh that's so sad I know Emory Kaye Kylie and I were all hanging out in our living room with a couple of our guy friends who live across the hall when Casey came in a little freaked out when

11:00

we asked her what was wrong she said something along the lines of I was on the stairwell when I ran into someone he was tall and he was wearing black pants and a black hoodie and I ran into him pretty hard on accident so I turned around to say that I was sorry but he was gone she doesn't recall him having a face but she did note that he appeared to be looking down we all kind of shrugged it off maybe he was just a fast Walker maybe he didn't like confrontation who knows but she kept repeating that she bumped into him very hard little did we know this would only be the beginning ah oh my gosh I feel like this is also going to get scary and I'm I was picturing it being like the ghost of this man who had accidentally shot himself but now I feel like I don't know I feel like it's going sowh dark like a Goosebumps turn yeah Emory's very friendly outgoing and social and she wanted to encourage other students to stop by our apartment so our door was regularly propped open when we were home we felt comfortable with this because there were security guards at the front door of the building you needed a student ID to get in and we had our five

12:00

guy friends across the hall if we ever needed anything so don't come for us True Crimes LOL I feel like that's a very college dorm thing to do it is yeah most people keep their doors open I feel like if you're extroverted yeah maybe a week later after Casey had her run in on the stairs I arrived home before everyone else I'm a very anxious extroverted introvert if you know you know and I wanted to lead by Emory's example so I propped the door open I walked in my room I dropped my backpack with a heavy thump and then I heard one of the kitchen stools pull out as if someone went to sit at the kitchen table I called out Emory she was the next person to get home no answer I call out hello no answer at this point my heart starts pounding I slowly walk to my door and I PE around the corner I looked towards the kitchen table and there's a man sitting there his side profile to me with his hands folded and his head in his hands he appeared clear as day not a black form a person or what I thought was a person what he was wearing you ask

13:00

black pants and a black hoodie I thought maybe he's here to talk to Casey about what went down on the stairs the other day so I said hey Casey's not here if you're looking for her no answer I stare at him for a good 5 seconds before speaking again I say hello no answer at this point I'm starting to feel a little scared and a little pissed off so I say Casey's not here you need to leave he then starts tapping his foot as if he's the one that's frustrated fight ORF flight kicks in and I guess my body chose flight and I did exactly what I scream at Scary Movie characters for I ran into my room instead of out the front door well cuz you she would have to run past him to go out the front door I locked the door and I pull out my phone to call 911 and the heaviest thing that I could use to defend myself with as I was getting ready to press the call button I felt relief like a giant weight had been pulled off of my back I felt so relieved that I did what most people would think to be crazy I opened the door and he was gone after that he never appeared in the physical form again but

14:00

the activity never stopped my steel cross that my grandma gave me flew across the room my desk chair would swing out on its own the clocks in the living room would fall off the wall and land straight up my door would shake after I'd gone to bed and when my roommates or my friends came in to check on me I would be standing behind the door looking at them I have no recollection of this oh my God my go so freaky holy [ __ ] it's also how long this guy's Spirit was like physically visible yeah right and like he was tapping his foot like there was just so much that was visible too it was after all of this that the entity gained a nickname Cornelius if I had it my way his name would have been Big Brat since I have been the one who's experienced the most with the Paranormal his Shenanigans didn't really phase me they were just really annoying and to any other person that had an encounter with him especially Casey it was absolutely terrifying rightfully so it

15:00

got so bad that Casey The Atheist of the household had agreed to allow the campus priest to come bless and cleanse the apartment oh my gosh the priest was pretty young for a priest but he was very traditional if you don't know anything about Catholicism I wish I didn't religious trauma ghosts aren't really a thing so we came in pretty skeptical about what we were experiencing to begin with however we were obviously very scared and concerned so he agreed to do the blessing anyway my roommates our guy friends and I all sit in the living room as the priest walked around saying his Blessing and spraying holy water as he did so I started to feel a deep sadness the kind of sadness after you feel betrayed or hurt badly by someone that you trusted I didn't say anything I attributed the feeling to being uncomfortable with the priest in our apartment and I didn't want to scare anyone the blessing only took about 10 minutes when he was done we thanked him and then he left after 5 minutes had passed I felt a burning sensation on my side I said ow all of my friends whipped their heads in my

16:00

direction and almost in unison they say what's wrong again not wanting to scare anyone I say nothing oh no then someone said you don't just say ow for no reason so I replied it's nothing I just feel like I got scratched they all looked at me with concerned Expressions as I lifted up my shirt to reveal three thick red marks everyone screamed yes the men too and they ran as fast as they could to the building Lobby most of them with drinks still in their hands I looked at the marks for a few seconds and I said brat out loud before walking after them I Love How brave nah is like like sick and tired of these like bratty ghosts they were all standing in a circle in the lobby out of breath from running and one of our guy friends looked at us looked at his beer that he was too young to be drinking at the time and stated forgive me Father for I have sinned but this shit's [ __ ] I hope you enjoyed and like I said I have plenty of other stories but I thought you'd like this one the most

17:00

it's definitely the longest and the most dramatic LOL we didn't have any other experiences with him at our senior house off campus so he may have been attached to the building I'm just glad that he didn't follow me jeez thank you both so much for all that you do I love the podcast and your campfire stories make me feel a whole lot less alone when it's been a rough day and week nah nah okay well it sounds like the blessing did work and then his like final F you was like the scratch Mark yeah it was like fine I'll leave but not without a statement but this is also reminding me of Goosebumps it's like so the the guy accidentally shot himself but like was it an accident is this something where like the pain and the suffering and the the hurt of losing his life so suddenly is being like like what why is he why is his Spirit there and trying to cause harm like does he blame or is it even that Spirit like it could be something completely different like it doesn't have to necessarily be him or something that like kind of fed off of the traum that happened there and it's just

18:00

existing yeah I don't know it's so strange and like the like coming into the dorm and sitting there with his head in his hands like it seems sad like it almost seems like I'm upset and I want to talk about something but then it turns angry which honestly if I'm a spirit and you you are appearing physically but you can't express verbally like I imagine that would be really frustrating right because maybe he wanted a are you okay what's wrong and instead he got get out yeah but clearly he came with some bad vibes cuz nah was like Nina's experienced enough where I'm like I trust I trust Nina's gut yeah me too she's like brat brat I feel like usually it's like you know claim your space and like just be like don't mess with me but Nina's just like you brat like you're such a breath pest annoying little pest my gosh I wonder if anyone else has experienced anything in that dorm I feel like you have to in

19:00

that apartment probably well I hope that that boy who whose life ended I hope that he gets to move on and that whatever this thing is is is not human it's just living yeah cuz I feel horrible if it if it is for some part of him or him I also nah I want to hear all of Nina's story I know this one was a great one to start with yeah okay so I

The cursed crystal

did find a little thing from Mary it's not about all the other stories but we can end it's like a very short like paragraph and like we'll end the episode with it okay but I have something from our listener Natalia and it's called brother's ex-girlfriend cursed my family okay that's not great not great but I feel like honestly with curses this is usually how it goes it's someone's ex or right just like don't curse people some jealous person well I guess you'd have to be somehow connected to the family to just blindly curse someone I don't know I feel like you could accidentally curse someone if they're like in the vicinity I feel like I accidentally me and my

20:00

brother both like were like we need to be more careful with our words because we had two teachers that were just really unkind to us and to everyone what' you do and I know it's not my fault but what happened I was like curse them I just said that out loud and frustration I was like G curse them and then they died both very horrible deaths yeah how old were you 13 12 do not get on Karen's bad side my gosh I've never said that about another person ever again and it's not your fault it's not it's not they were yeah what happened was it was horrible but I can't imagine me and frustration just saying oh curse them cuz they were being rude is what no led to a horrible and horrific death for them if it happens for a third time then I'm going to be worried I'm not saying it a third time good don't all right well here's a a story about a curse hello Ghoulies my name is Natalia pronounce Nat Lea I did it right Natalia Natalia and I'm a longtime

21:00

listener I listen to you guys so often I feel like I spend more time with you than with my husband the husband needs to listen now too yeah can do this together a couple's experience yeah I've been meaning to write to you guys for a very long time because I have a handful of experiences I wanted to tell you about including one about how me and my brother were abducted together while in different continents what that is so cool it is so cool I hope I hope it was cool experience I mean yeah hopefully not horribly traumatizing I mean it is I think the most fascinating thing about that is like how it does feel like it's a familial thing mhm like both of them at the same time in completely different places in the world were abducted they're on the watch list and how do I get adopted by your family I know this just means it really doesn't matter where you are they'll find you if they want you they will have you and how do you get them to want you is the question oh or excite them tantalize their tingly feelings I don't

22:00

know what did I going say Your Wildest Dreams it is okay so Natalia says recently this one thing happened and it was just so crazy that I simply had to write you about it so if you're ready we're ready I think you're ready here is the story of how my brother's ex-girlfriend cursed us strap in because it's a long one trigger warning there are mentions of mental health struggles and suicide attempts in this story so for some background my brother's girlfriend let's call her Polly she used to be my best friend we met in high school and we were inseparable we had sleepovers all the time my parents loved her and her mom loved me our parents even became friends and we would all hang out together all the time naturally when we went off to University we couldn't be together as often but we remained close friends then in our late 20s paully moved back to our hometown and shortly after she started dating my younger brother Rick at that time I Was preparing to get married and move abroad so I wasn't able to visit home often and I couldn't hang out with them too much

23:00

they had a rocky relationship but I tried to stay out of it and I told them that no matter what happened paully would still be my friend and Rick obviously would still be my brother and to keep me out of their fights hell yeah boundaries a couple months go by I get married I moved to Europe and very soon after paully and Rick break up but they were staying on good terms my brother also moved abroad and paully was still friends with me and my sisters we still talked all the time and and my sisters would hang out a lot so everything seemed fine but now fast forward 8 years later I'm visiting home from Europe around the same time Rick had just moved back home and as was usual whenever I visited Polly came and hung out with me almost every day while I was there but this was also the first time that Rick was living back home since they had broken up 8 years prior so there was no avoiding them bumping into each other occasionally I guess I don't have to say it but yeah they ended up getting back together a couple of times but they knew better than to tell me much about it because I did not want to be in the

24:00

middle of whatever they had going on a few days before I left Polly came to me and handed me two crystals inced in handmade necklaces which she told me she had made herself one for me and one for my brother that she had charged the crystals to protect us she said she didn't want Rick to know about it and asked me to hide it in his wardrobe H so I did and I forgot about it I then flew back to Europe and didn't think of that anymore very soon after me and my sisters noticed that had all of a sudden blocked Us in all of her social media we tried to reach out but she completely ignored us and then deleted us from all of her accounts my sisters heard through the graef that Polly and Rick had a ugly breakup so we assumed that that was why she blocked all of us although we thought it was quite unfair given that we had nothing to do with it and we were her friends long before she started dating our brother and then around that same time I fell into a deep horrible depression I had struggled with depression since early in my teens and was no stranger to it but now in my mid-30s I had learned to spot the signs

25:00

that it was about to take a turn for the worse and I knew to activate my safety net to keep me safe and well as much as possible this time though it came crushing down on me without warning like it felt like an immense mass of heavy Darkness had fallen on me I couldn't get out of bed shower brush my teeth eat change out of my pajamas or even walk my dog I was paralyzed I lost my job and I spent all day every day crying in bed a I'm so sorry I know I started feeling desperately suicidal and started rehearsing my method of choice to act on it when I got a chance but my beautiful loving husband who knows me too well could tell how bad I was and kept a close watch on me at all times luckily I never got a chance or did anything too serious one morning though I woke up with an intense feeling and I felt like I had to go sit at my altar my witch altar I'm a Wiccan and I felt like I had to light a candle to the goddess and nothing not even debilitating depression will ever make me ignore the goddess

26:00

when she calls because I know better than to risk getting on the wrong side of her so I got up for the first time in weeks I sat by The Altar and offered her a candle and then I stayed there watching the flame trying to figure out what she was telling me when all of a sudden I saw this message very clear get rid of the crystals o I just got I got chills I had completely forgotten about the crystals poly had given me and my brother but I knew immediately that this is what it was about I didn't think the message would be that clear I thought it would be like someone has wished you harm and then you have to figure it out no it's that clear it's direct I knew I couldn't tell Rick so I phoned my mom and I told her everything and my mom who was a little bit of a witch of herself said it was best to throw them into a body of running water in the wild to make sure that the energy was carried away so I grabbed my crystal and I ran to the canal down the road threw it away and didn't look back on the other side of the world my mom had a harder time dealing with Rick's Crystal first it

27:00

took her hours to find it even though I told her exactly where I'd hidden it and she eventually found it just where I had said it was even though she had looked there hundreds of times what like blowing my mind yeah my mom felt the energy in the Crystal and was scared so she asked one of my sisters to come with her to the river to get rid of it and the following is a translation of my sister's messages to me about what had happened so this in quotes from Natalia's sister we got in the car mom tried to turn the key in the ignition and the car made a horrible whe noise all of the car lights started blinking the beams the blinkers the inside lights the dashboard everything went crazy then all of a sudden it stopped and the car went dead it wouldn't turn on the engine had no sign of life nothing it was completely dead and this was a new perfectly functioning car this is reminding me of Greg and Dana's car ride with Billy the idol mom dead said we should walk and I told her I needed to change out of my flip-flops into my trainers so I put the crystal in my

28:00

pocket and went inside when I flipped the switch the same thing happened all of the light started blinking violently in the house until poof they went out and nothing worked anymore what in the world this is the strongest freaking carse ever I yelled forget the trainers and my mom and I ran together to the river and her flip flops we were so scared we covered the 20-minute walk in less than 10 minutes and finally threw the crystal away this is Natalia again my mom later told me that in the weeks leading up to that she knew something was wrong because she could feel the heavy energy in the house but had no idea where it was coming from she said my normally very chill brother was acting super out of character snapping at everyone for the tiniest things and being really nasty towards my sisters which was the clearest sign that something was wrong because he absolutely adores those girls and treats them like princesses so for him to have flipped a switch and become verbally aggressive to them like my mom said he was something was definitely not right at all that that got my sisters on edge and obviously my parents got really

29:00

stressed too so the house was a living hell and this is all happening while I was depressed in bed mom also said the night before I phoned her she had prayed fervently to be shown what was the cause of all of that and then I told her about the crystals the very next morning that morning the one that I heard the call from the goddess after we got rid of the crystals everything went back to normal Rick seems to have no idea that anything was wrong and we never told him about it he went back to being the loving and caring brother we knew and I slowly came out of my depressive episode that same week I even started applying to new jobs was called in for three interviews and got offered two of those roles so I guess we can say that the crystals really were affecting us we don't think that paully actively tried to harm us though we think she really did charge the crystals with her energy to protect us but that when things went South with Rick she probably felt so hurt and betrayed that she inadvertently channeled the negative energy to the crystals and then it affected us wow so yeah that is how I lost one of my best friends and ended up almost unal living myself while my brother almost ruined

30:00

his relationship with our sisters thank you so much for being amazing people and for keeping me company every day stay spooky Natalia Natalia oh my gosh I also I mean you can see how much empathy and love Natalia has for this friend too to be like I don't think that she actually meant for any of this to happen it was probably just like the hurt that just the energy was redistributed on those crystals but my God it's so scary I'm not sure what I would have thought I know it it just breaks my heart because it's like I think about like yeah losing a friend like that and then like her blocking them and never even talking to them again yeah I'm sure it's something that they probably thought about before you know like their biggest fear when you have a a friend start dating a sibling yeah it's a big risk it is yeah but I'm glad that Natalia you are okay and that you were able to come out of this depressive state and jeez curses are just so it makes me so sad I'm like

31:00

don't don't curse people and I'm like what is the energy like who are the spirits or the entities like who what is it that is acting on this do you summon something or are you creating something like I'm so me curious emphasiz this to me like the existence of shadow people cuz we've talked about it where it's like we all have a dark energy like we have the ability to hurt to harm to be evil we most of us don't act on that you know we we all have negative thoughts like that's normal but it makes me think that like the theory of Shadow People of like how when people die that negative piece kind of breaks off of them and creates shadow people or dark energy I mean this emphasizes that for me CU it's like clearly we have the ability to like release some Darkness yeah the Bell Witch one of our first episodes and we reference it constantly because it is it is that theory of like Darkness chipping off and existing on its own making an like a whole other life life mhm don't date your friends

32:00

brothers or make like a pack and have a plan of action I don't know and don't curse people help it it's hard because I feel like I know people who haven't been through that but I know people who whose friendships have dissolved with some of their best friends because they start to associate that friend with like a traumatic experience that they themselves had that the friend might have just been there or was there to support them through it but it's still like a constant reminder I mean I feel like I've experienced this so many times too with I've had a lot of friends in high school who have gone to rehab and it's like sometimes we get frustrated cuz we're like oh why aren't they trying to hang out with us like we're the ones we're we're not the ones doing drugs like we're the safe people to go to but it's the association yeah we were around during that really hard part of their lives and that's what they remember yeah I just hope everyone's happy I know life is hard I know okay

The guardian angel

okay this is called I think an angel nurse saved my infant daughter oh this

33:00

is a good one okay hi Sabrina and Karin thank you for the amazing heartwarming spooky podcast I've listened to most of the episodes since the very first one and I just recently skipped ahead to 2022 to make sure that I was still okay to send in stories I'll Circle back though don't want to miss anything I'm nervous about sending this as I rarely talk about it but here it goes I'm a mother and Grandma living in Western New Hampshire near the Vermont border but the strange thing that I want to tell you about happened several decades ago when I was living in the Canadian province of New Brunswick next door to northern Maine it was 1997 and I was a young mother of two children ages four and nearly one and I was shopping in a big department store with my 4-year-old walking next to me and then the baby propped in the front seat of a big metal shopping cart I was using toilet paper packages to hold her in as there as they had not yet implemented safety belts I bent over for a fraction of a second second to grab duct tape from a lower shelf and in that Split Second the

baby leaned forward tumbled out of the seat hitting her head on the cement floor oh my gosh time seemed to stand still I grabbed her I lifted her checking frantically for injury and oh no her eyes rolled back in her head as she appeared to lose Consciousness I'm in an absolute Panic I'm carrying my baby I pulled my four-year-old Along by the hand and we ran to the service desk at the front it's kind of a blur but I remember yelling and begging at an associate to please get off the phone I needed to call an ambulance what he said not grasping the situation get off the phone I need the phone I need to call an ambulance my baby hit her head I screamed or at least I think I was screaming I know that as a mother I'm supposed to remain calm and assess the situation but I realized time was of the essence and I needed help immediately the clerk blinked at me a couple of times the phone still at his ear and I could not believe it I was scared to death that my child who was breathing but was pale and unresponsive could actually die and that's when I heard the calmest voice voice that I've ever heard give me the baby I turned it was a woman

35:00

I already have chills maybe mid-30s speaking calmly and holding her hands out to me I'm a nurse hand me the baby she said I was fighting tears and panic and I only remember thinking somebody with a medical background okay okay so I handed her my infant daughter who was starting to come around and the woman said to me I have my van here I have a car seat and a booster seat I work at the hospital let me drive you there it may have not been those exact words but that's what I understood with my 4-year-old I quickly followed her out into the parking lot she buckled my infant daughter into the car seat while I buckled my older child she drove us to the local hospital only 5 minutes away and I remember her telling me her name Paula while we drove she kept saying keep her awake don't let her fall asleep when we got there she just said follow me we did we went right through the ER we skipped triage all together and into the back part where the doctors in the exam rooms were I don't remember much after that but a doctor quickly attended to the baby and assessed that she had a bad concussion after monitoring her for

36:00

a few hours the doctor sent us home with similar advice to not let her fall asleep for several more hours but that she would probably be fine oh my gosh I don't remember how we got home my husband must have picked us up it was a harrowing night we spent checking on the baby and comforting my four-year-old who was traumatized by the whole ordeal the next morning when it looked like my infant daughter would be okay I called the hospital to extend the most sincere thanks and gratitude to the nurse Paula who had driven us to the hospital and walked us through I didn't know how to begin to thank her for such a selfless act but I wanted to try yeah the hospital staffer on the phone was puzzled she said there's no nurse by that name working here wait what so I explained what Paula had done just the day before she works here she talked to someone she brought us in I said she checked with the Department no sorry she said No One by that name works here I will never understand what exactly happened that day just thinking about it I get to period and that was 26 years ago so did I hear her name wrong I don't

37:00

think so was she an angel I'll never know but Paula whoever and wherever you are thank you thank you so so much to end on a lighter note I had a dream when I was 8 years old of a little girl with brown curly hair and an adorable round face with big brown eyes I knew at the time she would be my daughter and her name would be Emily fast forward to 1996 my second child was on the way when she was born I knew it was her so I named her Emily sure enough as she got a little older she looked exactly like she did in my dream this was my baby daughter whose life was saved that day by the calm nurse or maybe by an Angel thank you both for thank you both for all sh I did like really thank you both for all that you do thank you for allowing me the place to share my true story I adore the podcast I'm proud of you both and it's so fun to listen while I'm in my Sewing Studio P.S they did finally put seat belts and shopping

38:00

carts better late than never Tori my gosh Tori that I can't even imagine like the anxiety and the fear that happened in that moment and I'm so glad that Emily's okay I know but I'm so curious too because if this nurse Laura Paula Paula Paula if Paula was a guardian or an angel or some kind like then what did people see at the hospital because she was just taken directly through right like was someone with them or it's almost like did she did she appear as a different person like someone who actually did work in the hospital did they take on that appearance or was it just some sort of like magical juice where it's like everyone was just hypnotized and going through the process and yeah and then seeing the baby and they didn't know why or how or who brought them in but it was meant to yeah I don't know cuz they she did walk right through and like to check with the Department too like oh who who yesterday treated Ed the like who brought in the like little girl who right was concussed

39:00

and they're like we don't know right gosh I want to like I mean now it's so long ago that it's going to be so hard but like I would have called every day and been like has that nurse come in because if I was that nurse I would talk about that experience like wow what happened yesterday was so wild and so scary I'd like want to go to the department store and be like do you have cameras yeah but it is it's like one of the those things where it's almost like it's tempting to investigate it but it's also just like what a miracle everything worked out and maybe you should just take it as that that is the greatest takeaway is like it's like a beautiful moment of just something that could have been so terrible and so scary which it was scary and terrible but like has a positive happy ending right I wonder if that store clerk is haunted by the time that they froze and couldn't get off the phone to call 911 but I mean to be fair I imagine it's like a young person like you know I I understand freezing in those moments yeah yeah but even if I was 16 I think I would still think about that moment time be like never again if I ever get the opportunity to do that I'm going to make up for it okay this is
