Grandpa's musical message

hi ladies I just recently started your podcast and I've been listening at Double speed to catch up I know you get a ton of emails so I wanted to send this early so you might have time to read it around Christmas time anyway I just got to your 14th encounters episode the one where her sister was playing slide by the Goo Goo Dolls and it reminded me of a musical message that I received myself my grandpa passed away in May of 2017. he was always so kind to me and he loved Burl Ives the first Christmas after he

4:00

passed I was working retail at Kirkland's which was a nightmare in and of itself but I digressed one thing to note is that Kirkland's had a playlist that was turned on in the morning and played through every single day it was always the same songs in the same order and then when the Christmas playlist was on it was no different it never changed it was the exact same songs in the same order every day I was on the morning shift and the time had just turned 11 11 which prompted a conversation between me and my manager Tia about how that means that angels are with us the song changed immediately and the song silver and gold filled the store tears came to my eyes immediately because that was my grandpa's favorite song I worked that shift in others the rest of the season and that song never played again so I think it was my grandpa reaching out to me and to this day I cry whenever I hear silver and gold I love your podcast I'm excited to catch up on the rest of the episodes thanks

5:00

for creating a space to share these stories I have more that are spooky Aid that are spookier but I'll send those in at another point keep up the great work Kate wow wow oh my gosh how beautiful especially tuna around the holidays and and being so stressed out at the job and like working in retail too freaking sucks yeah during holidays probably always but during the holidays especially so that's so sweet to just have have such a clear sign from your loved one yeah I agree and it's like it's one thing to be at work and hear a song that has never played on that playlist before and know that it's your grandfather's favorite Christmas song but it's another for it to happen at the exact time 11 11 when you're having a conversation with someone specifically about how that means Spirit or Spirits are with you and then

6:00

for the song to change into like it it is it's more than just one of those it was all of those so there's just me I wonder yeah it makes me wonder if Spirits are like we've talked about this before in the past where it's like when you cross over do you just know everything that's gonna happen in the future because if so that makes sense what where my grandfather's like okay I'm gonna come and be at the spot at this exact time because I know that she's going to mention or have a conversation regarding this so that's my opportunity to jump in or was it just that our loved ones are always around us and when an opportunity comes it's like you know they see the light and then they go towards it and and do what they need to do to show us at that moment that they're there I don't know and I feel like recently we've been having conversations about like how

7:00

because time is not linear ghosts can haunt in different times like you could potentially be haunting yourself and like a experience that you had when you were younger might have been someone who was still alive at that time but their Spirit was able to travel back it is just very confusing I don't know it is our understanding of the spirit world and our thoughts Sabrina have developed and evolved so much from when we first started this podcast imploded if we did we ask some of the things we do now although I wish our talents and our spiritual abilities have developed in the same way I know maybe we'd have more answers or maybe we'd have even more questions Maybe I think we were just so tired for so long overworking ourselves and not making time for ourselves and I think this is something that we're both prioritizing next year so maybe we will start to develop it all yeah yeah get a little extra witchy

8:00

yeah as you said that the lighting in here changed in years I know and mine got we're both glowing and lights are being weird so

A daughter's final goodbye

this is from our listener Anna and I do want to give a trigger warning that it does involve descriptions of someone's body after they pass away oh so given that now okay this is from Anna my dearest ghostesses Corrine and Sabrina here is an endearing Christmas encounter to Archive for next year Anna sent it last year the beginning is Rocky but I promise it's hap it has a happy-ish ending my dad passed away on Christmas Eve of this year he died in our home surrounded by family my dad was a beautiful and creative Soul taken way way too early he was diagnosed with stage four melanoma in April of 2020 impeccable timing I know and his experience was horrific

9:00

I will spare you all the details because honestly it's just absurd but he was as stoic and strong in health as he was in sickness my younger sister and I inherited his affinity for lucid dreaming and actual projection sleep paralysis if that's a skill and I've had prophetic dreams since I was little usually mundane things like dreaming about the exact score that I will receive on a test that I'm getting back the next day or those little dream coincidences that you forget about until something happens and you're like oh this was totally in my dream last night hmm once I had a super realistic dream that my face was swollen and the next day I went to visit my dad when he was sick and his face was swollen there were lots of connections like this throughout his battle with cancer and I believe that we were we are traveling Souls one night I took him to the ER and the doctors asked my relation to him I replayed I replied daughter

10:00

and my dad looked at me and said you're not my daughter you're my sister at this point he was pretty out of it but I'm taking that as a sign because he did not have any sisters in this lifetime oh my gosh I know I got my back just got cold anyways oh my gosh my dad went to the hospital for the last time on my birthday December 19th and he came home for hospice the afternoon of December 23rd he was at home for just 12 hours before he passed at the end he was already dressed up on yeah I know right he did get to go home especially during the holidays too where it's like being with your family and and being in the warmth when you're in that situation is I'm sure felt good yeah despite all pain at the end he was pretty jacked up on morphine and largely unresponsive and I

11:00

don't think he closed his eyes for the last five days before he died we had to put cream on them to keep him comfortable and use a sponge at the end of a stick to wet his lips and tongue because he couldn't swallow and his mouth was just so dry sometimes we would peel an orange and rub a section on his lips so that he could taste something nice needless to say the word Comfort has taken on a whole new meaning for me and I hate it the night he came home to die I was worried that I wouldn't know when it was going to happen but in the moments before his death his breathing changed his eyes got wide he was looking around the room and gulping for air like a fish out of water the breaths leading up to his passing were super far apart and strained finally he took his last breath I didn't know that death could be so painful and he looked so scared and upset when it was happening after he took his last breath I was in shock and my sister and my mom were

12:00

crying and hugging each other as I sat and I stared at him then all of a sudden it looked as if a fly sort of flew out from his head and up towards the ceiling trailing the fly was a trickle of something shimmery and dark like an ocean at night I didn't really understand what I was seeing but it was so clearly not of this Earth in the way that things look when you can't believe your own eyes the image was like a hologram or a bad CGI just uncanny valley vibes several days later I went online to look into what people have seen when they witness a death and this described it perfectly shimmering water in Reverse going up to the ceiling and looked like water flowing upward oh it's after I know after reading all these accounts of water flowing upwards I feel validated and I'm convinced that I saw his soul embarking onto his next adventure oh

13:00

my dad looked horrific in death not peaceful at all his eyes and his mouth were open and he looked as if he were in pain we tried to close his mouth and his eyes as we waited for the hospice nurse to come and declare the time of death but they wouldn't close when the nurse finally came after 90 minutes I went to go take a shower and my mom helped the nurse put pants on my dad so that he could be taken away with some dignity when I came back into the room after my shower I looked at my dad in shock he was smiling his head was turned slightly to the side his eyes and mouth were closed and there was a smile on his face he looked like a Renaissance painting and it was the most peaceful that I'd seen him look in months at first I thought this was the job of the hospice nurse to position the deceased's face so that it didn't look so horrific and the nurse insisted that my dad did it all on his own when things were really bad we were always trying to get him to smile for us

14:00

and most of the time he refused it was the Catalyst for many fights and a lot of tears I think that his smile was the final gift to us to let us know that he was okay hmm thank you for reading my story I hope you have more I hope to have more encounters with him as time passes I know that he's performing miracles for me from the actual plane and continuing to be the best freaking dad in the universe XOXO Anna she Anna I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and it makes me so sad because I you know I feel like so many of these stories around the holidays or like about the holidays are sadly about losing loved ones but having them make contact in some way especially because you know I think you miss whoever passes away all the time but holidays are so different without your loved ones and it is this is so difficult to experience and especially it sounds like it kind of

15:00

rapidly happened and was so shocking for Anna and her family but what an incredible to see his Spirit like water leading towards the ceiling leaving his body and moving on to the next and for him to leave his body smiling for all of them right to be like I'm okay and that's also like the fact it took some time meaning like his Spirit maybe left his body and then momentarily came back to change his physical body's expression right yeah like after understanding what happened yeah tried to give that last symbol to everybody that he is at peace now right because Anna was the only one that actually saw him move on saw his soul which what a beautiful depiction of a soul too like the the small little fly with like shimmering water trailing behind it yeah

16:00

that's so sweet I can picture it perfectly like I feel like it's iridescent but glittering and it feels very ethereal too yeah like it just makes you think you know we are there is so much more Beyond Death and that it is really beautiful and that it's really magical and there's so much that we don't understand and I think that's probably what we try to figure out after five years of podcasting but yeah but it's like what is this yeah that's a perfect example of it where it's like it's just it just despite how horrific the death was and losing someone that you love your dad and watching someone feel so sick and feel so in pain how beautiful is it also to witness them evolve and go somewhere in such a beautiful form yeah that's true and I really do hope and I believe that Anna

17:00

will see her dad again and he will be watching over her and the fact that he said you're not my daughter you're my sister like that is very clear to me that they are traveling Souls they will be reunited again and yeah it's just it's as heartbreaking as it is there's almost there's also so much Beauty and hope in it yes yeah and two just we've said it before where you know people a lot of times you don't get to be in the place that you want to be or with the people you want to be on holidays which makes it really hard and I'm just glad that Anna's dad was able to be with the family yeah I agree I agree uh this makes me really want to ask for we should do an episode of like the funniest ghost stories I know we should we were like Christmas ghost stories and then

18:00

it's so mad but it's so they are heartwarming there's yes

Creepy kids and a car wreck

we should we should have a rule where we have like a some sort of palette cleanser episode at least once every six months right where it's like oh I would say once a month oh once a month once a quarter we could do where it's like only really funny or like visits from loved ones or we used to theme some of our encounters we should we should have it anymore go back to that yeah this one kind of accidentally had a theme um but I think that's what happens like you said it's a lot of times around the holidays yeah around the holidays our loved ones make themselves known and so that's oftentimes some of the stories that we get okay I have a story called creepy kids in the Christmas Eve body and it is from our listener Rachel

19:00

and okay she says hi ladies I'm Rachel blow is my Google doc of the time I had little kids playing in my bedroom and the time I saw a spirit fresh out of his body on Christmas Eve go me hope this makes the podcast or at least maybe you read it love you ladies you make long Trips Trips to daycare and morning showers spooky but the best um she also attached a family photo saying that they're all a part of the triangle I love that just very nice um okay hello ghoulie ghostesses my name is Rachel yes you may use my name around because everyone around me knows I'm creepy so they won't be surprised I'll jump into it um I have a few stories my husband told me to write about since I forced him into the triangle my first Story begins in the mid 90s when my family first moved to Wilkes County after the Fearless but creepy daughter me was born my parents bought an older house that was technically three stories basement

20:00

main level and One Singular room upstairs that my older sister liked to push me down the carpeted stairs hateful bitty anywho around the age of three I was playing outside one day riding my bike down the huge hill in the backyard and I noticed that there were burnt remains of a very old house now at the time I thought nothing of it since I was three and only thinking about my love of lizards and tree frogs well that night when I went to bed I quickly fell asleep and was awoken to the sound of other children I didn't check the time because I was three and my 26 year old self always wondered what time they came when I fully woke up I realized there were three little kids playing with toys in my bedroom me and my creepy ass tried to play with him not even questioning how they got into my room or who they were I mean she was three oh they all look normal yeah they did not have black eyes which is great and they all had faces but

21:00

their clothes looked ashy gray once they realized I saw them and what I thought at the time was them running to hide since I spooked them because they ran into my closet and were gone so I Shrugged and went back to bed when I woke up I told my parents about what happened that night and my parents you know the typical response it was just a dream well after that first encounter with the kids it started happening every single night the kids would come back and play every night with my toys once I got older I remembered this all happened and I researched the house that was burnt in the backyard it turns out the woman that lived there was a nanny to three kids all of which died in the house fire started by the Nanny who was just trying to make them lunch oh my god oh how how horrific yeah the nanny was just trying to make them lunch when the stove engulfed in flames and it was in the early 80s one night my mom slept with me after my nanny had passed away in 2002 and she

22:00

was awoken to a glowing white orb sitting on my window seal that she swears she saw my nanny's face in which leads me to my next story the Christmas Eve body it was Christmas Eve of 2002 the first Christmas without my nanny we all went to my paw paws for the annual Christmas party we were all sitting in the large Den passing out presents earthquake earthquake Leia in one moment we were all sitting in the large Den passing out presents when the lamp beside the chair that my nanny always sat in started to flicker as one consecutive group we all said Nanny's here and the light flickered again we went on about the night as if she were there everyone randomly talking to my nanny and seeing the lamp flicker as if she was responding being the little tomboy I was at the time my papa got me a headlamp flashlight and my sister who was

23:00

extremely girly got just a normal flashlight Nanny wasn't there to help him shop for that year but bless him he did his best and these actually ended up being very helpful as the night went on as the night was wrapping up my parents sister and I piled into my dad's truck and headed home on one of the curvy back roads we took I saw a man limping up the side of the road and shouted dad watch out for that guy he looks wet and hurt my dad looked at me and said what guy honey there's no one out here uh oh another probably two miles down the road we were seeing we were crossing a little bridge over a small Creek Bay when the headlights Shone onto the creek and I saw it a truck overturned in the creek bed here's where my headlamp and my sister's flashlight came into play my Dad pulled over and turned on his flashers and took our lights out to go check the truck as my dad worked in the

24:00

Department of Transportation he was gone only a few minutes and came back with a stunned look on his face and asked me to describe the man I saw just a few miles back oh I already have chills I told him I saw a tall man wearing a hoodie and what I assumed were jeans with dark dripping hair all messy he asked me to get out of the truck to which I responded he's in the truck isn't he he's dead isn't he I carefully walked out and I can't believe this happened okay I know and also like her dad I know taking her down okay so Rachel says I carefully walked down to the truck with my dad and I saw him it was the same man I had just seen walking up the road lying there thrown from the truck face under the cold water of the creek he was dead how old were you Rachel

25:00

he was dead he uh we called it in and waited for the cops to show up before heading home that night my dad came into my room and told me he will never doubt that I am seeing or hearing things ever again needless to say I am very in tune with the spirit world but don't always open myself up to it so no scary boogers can attach to me also I cannot walk into antique shops without feeling like I'm going to be sick due to all the energy of the pieces I love you ladies so much and I'm thankful I found your podcast you're amazing and I'm glad you have a YouTube channel now triangle member for Life Rachel Rachel oh my God Rachel what the hell I mean oh gosh clearly Rachel's extremely powerful right like yes I think we've we've seen emails from this Rachel before too and I think so yeah Rachel Rachel's in tune but

26:00

oh my God I can't even like I have so many questions now knowing the Rachel saw someone right after they passed tragically and like confused wandering wet like they're they're Soul clearly didn't just move on like they they had no idea what happened I'm sure but I'm curious if this could be like a Ghost Whisperer type of situation where Rachel now could be that person who's like hello yeah because I see you you are not with us with you to the other side I yeah I mean she clearly has so many I mean from early on like playing with these little ghost kids but it also makes me really this story makes me so sad one that Rachel had to see this dead body um and two that the man was walking like it sounds like

27:00

it was a couple miles away from where the accident was like was he trying to get home like was he confused he clearly was so sad so sad right around the holidays like Ugh it makes I mean heartbreak it's just heartbreaking I know it is it's so it's such a scary depiction too to see like obviously When Rachel saw that person walking on the side of the road at first like it's a startling image to see someone wet and potentially injured walking on the side of the road and then to find out that it was this is kind of reminding me of The Lovely Bones too where it's like stuck in between and that one girl from her High School like seeing her spirit after she passed away like running trying to escape through the field and it's just yeah it's really heartbreaking yeah like I wish it's one of those things where it's like I wish and I don't think that I ever would have done this in this situation but like in

28:00

the realization I wish it would have been like oh like let's go back to where we saw his spirit and try to help him but that's just it's that's the movie version right it's not uh right always practical and or also like you can't just so easily oh we don't know how old Rachel was in this situation and then also when you happen to pawn someone who's had an accident whether they've already passed or not that you have to stay in that spot until authorities come right so it's not like they could just be like let's zip on down the road and come back and go back and forth yeah man I really hope that that man was able to move on me too me too

The soldier ghost

okay I have a story for us to end on this is uh from our listener Christina and it is called Soldier Ghost of Christmas Past but I have to say right before I read it that uh Christina also wrote that every time I talk about the black ghost dog

29:00

in my childhood home she thinks of her dog who is was named Elvis because it's also a black dog a black pup oh yeah what a sweet she said that she thinks of her little baby angel face that was sent to us from heaven oh is there a photo there is oh my gosh I'm looking oh here's Elvis I like why do we have such voices for pets I know it's also when someone doesn't speak in a appropriate voice I'm like what are you doing with you see get out of here sociopath be kinder to these animals they only respond to Baby voices rude you Judy Bay Judy Pie okay around get warm and cozy and I'll tell you the story of the soldier Ghost of

30:00

Christmas pass like this is a movie it is I know I I wish I had a snuggly little blanket and a cup of tea um once upon a time when I was a younger woman I married a poopy head oh the fact the fact of the matter was that we were both very young and he probably had some undiagnosed mental illnesses but nevertheless our marriage ended this is a ghost story not a true crime story today so I won't go into details just now it was good that it was over although my freedom from this poopy head was wonderful I couldn't help but feel a little lonely my first Christmas unmarried I remembered pulling the our first Christmas ornament from the box the little raccoon couple sitting in the snow-covered log sharing staring into each other's eyes with hope and joy for their future when I got that ornament I never thought that I would be alone on Christmas again but here I was in my early 20s and divorced don't worry I'm

31:00

sure those adorable trash pandas are happy as heck in the landfill that they ended up in and I know I was better off just a bit bittersweet all in all I had a nice Christmas with my family I was at the home where I grew up in in fact I never left you see poopy head was from the UK poopy head you say poopy head was from the UK and didn't have his work and didn't have his work visa for a long time and since I was a teenage bride and my parents had the space they let us live with them until we got onto our feet which never happened the house I grew up in was a colonial built in the late 1700s and was well the house the house that all the kids at school thought was haunted and it was oh I've heard my name called seeing things out of the corner of my eyes just to look and see nothing there you never felt alone in the house and it was cool and dark inside even in the summer

32:00

I was always apprehensive walking around at night but not at Christmas the house was beautiful at Christmas wood fireplace roaring decorations everywhere at Christmas that old house shined and from an early age it was usually me who decorated as I was the one who loved that time of year and I still do I'm like so like I feel I feel warm I I was cold when this email started but now my heart and soul is warm I picture the house right um my parents were busy working and my brothers were not interested I would dance around to Christmas music and sing out loud for all of the ghosts to hear as I decked the Halls even though I had experienced odd links in the home I have never seen a full-on Apparition until that one lonely Christmas night yay it was Christmas after midnight I think my dad was in bed and my mom was on the other side of the house in the office smoking cigs and playing online poker God I miss that woman

33:00

I was in the living room fireplace going and I just finished watching the Grinch with Jim Carrey I had gotten up to get a drink walked through the dining room and into the kitchen along one wall of the kitchen was the fridge then a door to the basement Yeek that basement then a doorway to the laundry room then the sink the basement door was closed and latched but the doorway to the laundry room between the basement door and the sink did not have a door it was just an opening into that room at one point in The house's history that room was actually a screened-in porch it had Windows all along the walls and a glass window door that was sealed off so it was once a glass door now a floor to almost ceiling window we didn't have a fancy dancing fridge that makes ice and I knew if I didn't refill the ice tray that I might not make it into the new year because it was one of my mom's few pet peeves walking along the previously described

34:00

wall from the fridge to the sink and passing the open doorway to the laundry room when I stopped in my tracks I saw something out of the corner of my eye and my ghost hunting ass has been trying to catch something for years now I would always whip my head around to look but there wasn't ever anything to see until that night there in the pale light in front of the window door about 12 feet from me was a soldier or should I say a uniform his face was shadowed by his hat so I couldn't see it his hands and legs from the knees down faded away he was probably about 5 10 with broad with broad shoulders all gray and kind of glowing like he emanated his own light oh oh that wasn't cool I yelled out loud as I dashed back the way I came empty ice tray and toe actually that was

35:00

very cool you just startled me I said peeking back around the door frame to see if he was still there but he was gone adrenaline pumping I wasn't sure what I should do next I wanted to run to my mom but I would have to go through the laundry room and right past where I just seen this ghost I paced around the kitchen for a minute excited and a little nervous and then I made a run for it as I passed the spot where he had been I squealed excuse has to not be rude knowing full well he could still be there but I just couldn't see him and then I burst into the office to tell my tale for the very first time what no why are you telling me this I have to sleep down here tonight it's what I remember from her reaction my parents bedroom was on the first floor and only a short hallway away from where I saw my visitor when I was younger she told me that ghosts aren't real but confessed to me once when I was older that she tells herself that they aren't real so that she can sleep at night oh

36:00

that's I mean that's what most people who said they don't believe in ghosts are probably doing exactly the next day with the urging of my dad I looked up Soldier uniforms I knew it was a civil war uniform which I found to be odd since we were in New York but battles were fought above the Mason-Dixon so maybe not so odd I found out that he was a pretty high rank from the details that I remembered from his jacket but his hat was of lower rank through more research I found out that clothing and other supplies were scarce and soldiers wore what they could find especially towards the end of the war it was certainly an experience I will never forget the details have blurred a little bit over the years but one thing had stuck with me and that is the feeling that I had after I saw him I wasn't scared I was excited and curious I'm always looking for a meaning in everything that happens why did this happen what can I learn from this experience and what I truly believe was that he wanted me to know that night

37:00

that I was not alone maybe he watched me grow up maybe he watched as I danced around in the house singing All I want for Christmas is you like a diva all those years and maybe he knew that I needed a little bit of a distraction here's the kicker it wasn't till many years later when I was talking about ghost stories with a friend I recalled a time when poopy head and I had a big argument that night I cried myself to sleep I always wanted to resolve any conflict before we went to bed but that night it wasn't an option in the morning he told me about a terrible dream he had he said I dreamed that there was a civil war soldier at the foot of our bed he wanted me to wake up and look at him so he could scare me oh my gosh that dream happened at least two years before I saw the soldier in the house on Christmas night and now I find myself living happily ever after below the Mason Dixon married to a handsome wonderful kind caring Southern

38:00

gentleman who proposed to me on Christmas Eve I'm so glad we ended with this story from Christina because this is our rep this episode has been all over the place emotionally but this is the happiest of the Christmas Tales we've told yes and so freaking cool so many elements to embrace and talk about love this soldier ghost and I know it's the first time Christina got to see a spirit granted it was like off pudding for the first time but then to connect the dots to poopy pants what's his name poopy butt Poopypants poopy head if you want um for him to have that dream of the soldier wanting to scare him I this Soldier is so clearly a fan of Christina's a fan of protecting her and is like I'm not gonna let anyone mess with you and if they do I'm gonna scare

39:00

them he must just be a resident in the home right like yes he must just kind of Bop around comfortably unseen and then only realized that he needed to come forth when things were were dire so like protecting Christina and giving a little intimidation to the person who is making her upset and then making sure that her Christmas spirit which he had seen and appreciated for so many years was not dimmed by being alone it's also so cool like I feel like uh everyone's Guardians their Spirit guides are soldiers in some way they're there to protect you they're gonna fight for you they're gonna help you through tough times and that's what this Soldier was doing and I also like that Christina looked up what people were wearing and realized that people do at the time they did have to just like take what they could get and have like a mod podge of of clothing because I I feel like that's kind of

40:00

symbolic too it's like you just gotta work with what you have and I really like that that that's how he represents himself in the afterlife as well yeah wow this story is wonderful Christina thank you so much for sharing it and I love that we were proposed to on Christmas Eve how how wholesome and sweet and loving a proposal on Christmas Eve your first Apparition on Christmas Eve ugh I love it so beautiful so beautiful we love all of you we love all of your ghost stories and we know that some of them can be heartbreaking and then in turn into heartwarming things some of them can be funny but we're just really grateful that you feel comfortable enough to share them with us and share them with the rest of our listeners our Phantoms and know that you are being supported and loved and cared for by so many people and maybe you don't get to see all of us but the energy is very
