1:00

we were just talking about like cats versus dogs and how dogs are much more helpless than cats are and cats just kind of like do their own thing and they're a little bit aloof but they also have like a ton of personality and and they were talking about like how when there's a cat in the room you just kind of treat it like another human you're like i respect you i'll give you the space like i understand your personality and she was like i'm pretty sure they're just witches i was like that would be sick i'm into it and yes i'm into it uh this is two girls i buy into everything

Middle school stories

to tour girls on ghost wait that would be fun we should do that on patreon oh we should do a little tour of like our plants or yeah or just like share our interests make some friendships how do we turn to our gardens ooh friendships and our gardens are the same and our gardens for some reason when you say tend to tend to our gardens i immediately just think of like trim your

6:00

pee i don't need to that's exactly oh i was i was there i was there well because deep down we're still 13 year old middle school girls apparently yeah you never grow up and also i'm learning that we didn't really learn much about our bodies at all now that i have to i'm like what do you mean there's different things i'm supposed to eat and exercise and do like what is my cycle what is my emotions like oh i was more thinking specifically the american girl doll book told me that it's normal to have like do you have your ears cover your ears nick to have like two nipple hairs and i'm like okay what are the rest of these things that i have oh my god wait the american girl doll book i think everybody had it right it's gone because i was like my body doesn't look anything like this that means i must be dying i remember all the middle school boys

7:00

would go into the library and like sneak back in the library and get the book and like look at pictures of it and be like and like giggle and laugh and then i i specifically remember like i had a big group of guy friends that all basically like my neighborhood was mostly boys and then my friend caitlin and then so the majority of my like youth like biking around the neighborhood and stuff were with these guys i now refer to as the wilson boys who are still really good friends of mine but this story is about the time when they went into my room and i'd hid my american girl doll book underneath my mattress because i was embarrassed i didn't want anyone to ever see it it's like a diary yes and i put it under my mattress like maybe a year prior forgot about it why did they look under my mattress i don't know but they found it and they were like waving it around and i was so embarrassed i was like oh my god that's that's not mine i like blamed for my cousin lainey i was like that's my cousin lainey doesn't even live in the same state i was like i'm just keeping it for her oh

8:00

i so badly want to when we have children

Nudity and anxieties

have like a moon blood ceremony for the first time my child my daughter has her period like i want to make it a beautiful thing no but i that's what i mean i just want to make it like an acceptable and not a shameful thing because i feel like yeah even still when i buy tampons i you know there's this fear of like checking out with a male or or buying condoms or i don't know just having anything to do with my body i just feel like it's been ingrained in us in us to be ashamed and i that's just not not cool yeah dude not cool society you're right it's like a hard i think specifically thinking about like middle school in high school when people yeah and even like late elementary school i think there are some like i knew people that got their periods when they were like 11. yeah but i think it's

9:00

when i think about like middle school and in specific i feel like there's nothing you can do to make it less shameful because you're just embarrassed by everything at that i know but if you like there's nothing every kid if we all got together and just taught all of our kids that it's okay i know right and to be honest right because like we're like almost 30 and we still clench up and feel anxiety and awkward like and i'm still afraid to be naked oh i'm never nude do you say you're never nude yeah basically wait this is reminding me about your bachelorette party how your sister was like everyone get sabrina like some lingerie and she'll do a lingerie show and i was like oh my god i know this is gonna give sabrina so much anxiety so i got you like a like giant nightgown [Laughter] and it was my favorite i think i guessed right away i was like this is from korean

10:00

yeah oh one thousand percent i was like i know you're not the naked one oh i am far from the naked one i'm naked when i choose to be but i wouldn't want someone to ask me to be naked yeah no let's talk that's tough i was reading the other day someone said like if you don't have a naked neighbor you are the naked neighbor and i was like that's me i believe it oh i believe it yeah you are you i'm the neighbor and you're the never nude oh man oh gosh

12:00

irs i do use our halloween themed and spooky stickers to put on the phone i love that that's amazing they get like grim reapers that have like yolo like i hope they don't think it's a threat i do worry about that sometimes no i bet that brightens their day think about how many pieces of mail and like envelopes are opening that probably just adds some color to their lives i hope so normally people are just sending their money away and i'm like i'm actually surprised they have not sent us a thank you letter for brightening their lives you know what i what if we agree what if we got an email from someone who was like hey i work at the irs and i saw your sticker and your podcast name and i have a ghost story oh my god that would be a dream full circle cream it rained my arrest lost in our two girls one ghost triangle

13:00

we're golden oh never painted it forget about the illuminati the tgoj triangle has taken over the world where are you really really trying to get the world domination exactly yeah you texted me and you were like i looked up the symbols that we were making on the video we're trying to do this oh yeah i like that but you said it looks it came up as like means world domination or something and then but that kind of works for us it does ghostly ghostly world domination it doesn't mean that the dominating is going to be bad it doesn't mean that would one hour will be in our hands no it just means well i mean it does but your face i don't even think i can make that face smooth it's so good

14:00

sitting up straight and i'm ready to listen to your story brilliant

Ouija board factory story

okay i'm really excited about this one because last night i went to drinks with a bunch of bad ass boss lady writers and nice while there a girl next to me alexa goes what's your podcast about again and i said ghost and she goes i have a ghost story and she emailed it to me because it's oh my god so good okay this is like what we hope for when we go out to dinner and drink some just like literally any social interaction oh exactly and i'm actually very impressed with alexa because she emailed it to me immediately so even better okay hi as promised here's the story i used to work at an ad in

15:00

an ad agency in toronto it was a beautiful old brick building covered in ivy i always had an office on the first floor but they eventually moved me to an office on the second floor and whenever i was working late or on weekends i would hear footsteps above me i didn't really think much about it but then the agency had a series of major break-ins three within a few weeks of each other a ton of lapt a ton of laptops got stolen each time it was so bad that they hired police officers to guard the agency at night after one night the hr lady was pissed because the police had called her at three o'clock in the morning to get access to a part of the building because they had chased someone into it and they thought they'd finally caught the thieves but the door was locked and they couldn't get in and when i asked why she was pissed she said it was because she knew there would be no one there apparently the building was haunted she'd had complaints from people for years but was told not to talk about it

16:00

people working late at night would see an old man and a little girl wandering the hallways when the police called they told her they had heard footsteps and had given chase they chased a physical person someone through the building heard doors open and closed until the person they were chasing ended up in a part of a building that was locked and the officers couldn't get in so they called the hr lady and she drove down and opened the door at 3am and sure enough no one was there it was a part of the building that had mechanisms that operated the old service elevator so there was no other exit except that one door the police swore up and down that they had chased someone there the area they chased this person to was a space above my office so when i'd heard the footsteps all those late nights i never really thought about the fact that there was no office above me i decided to look up the building's history yes it turns out

17:00

it used to be an old ouija board factory i would never have guessed that if you gave me a thousand guesses i didn't even really know that was a thing that that existed right wow i'm shocked it's not more haunted than it is this is unreal i was shocked it was funny she was telling me this story last night and she was just like i was kind of like oh my gosh the police were chasing did so wait were the ghosts stealing the thieves and she goes just wait just wait it gets even better and i was just like i can't believe it was a ouija board factory oh my god i know wow that's wild okay i'm also yeah not to make this story about me but i worked for seven years and i never got any cool stories like that i'm so pissed that i didn't get the experience of that hr lady did where it was like here's a haunting you can never speak about and

18:00

what the [ __ ] i would have freaking loved that okay but you've heard ghost stories from employees it just didn't happen in the offices you were just didn't happen in the office right wow i guess that yeah i guess i probably wouldn't have put much thought to if i heard people above me like if there was an office above yeah right you would just assume that there was someone walking around i need to know what the police what

TV show recommendations

their reactions were after five meeting out i think the police had to acknowledge that there were ghosts in the building and and they i don't think they ever caught who i asked her some follow-up questions and she said they never really caught who stole the laptops but they thought it was an inside job oh i'm excited yeah but yeah i can open my mind to the ladies took the laptops and ran yeah like let's finally hack in and see what this internet thing is that everyone

19:00

talks about it's like from the show ghosts where typing making dating profiles i did finish ghosts i watched the season finale didn't i okay i haven't watched the finale okay okay then i'm not talking about it but i freaking love that show it's so saying to a few people because i've recommended it to a ton of people but i was saying that i mean obviously it's a comedy and shows like parks and rec and the office and shit's creek like sometimes when you have caricatures of people as the characters like when they're really big personalities it takes a few episodes to become attached to everyone yeah but i was hooked after like episode one i was in it i love it i love the show that's the best kind of show yeah so good i agree okay okay what will i read this is my favorite thing we i just i love that we do this i know me too okay

20:00

this is called wait is there an alien in this i can't remember i like picked out these stories so long ago and i can't remember what they're about but there's literally an alien emoji in this so this might all work out or it's just serendipitous that you showed yeah emoji just for me yeah

Kentucky goblin story

right this is called kentucky goblins and spirit baby visitations and it is from tay hi friends i love the pod so much i discovered it not too long ago and i've been on a deep dive ever since thank you for the love care and research you put into it i have so many stories from rural georgia gravel roads that i grew up on with a pig man spirit encounters through the tarot and visitations from past loved ones but today i'm writing to talk about kentucky phenomenon and spirit babies my family my husband and one daughter at the time move quite a bit for my husband's work which brings its fair share paranormal activity from the

21:00

constant moving alone we found ourselves in bowling green kentucky not too far from somerset and located on the 37th parallel the same line as area 51 and sedona for reference i love that research we should start looking into those like ley lines and all of the parallel lines whoa okay kentucky itself brings a very liminal energy it feels like a fever dream hanging in between reality and somewhere else like a portal all all on its own we had just moved into the neighborhood that was brand new and we were the first people who had lived in our home so i thought all right not giving a second thought to land spirits i just watched hellyer and was honestly on a whole alien trip because of it my family and i decided to visit mammoth caves and this is the longest cave system in the world and no one really ever knows where it ends but while down in the caves on our tour

22:00

our tour guide told us stories of death of people getting lost native americans gathering salt mining accidents and showed us showed us first writings on the wall which if you ask me might have been light language i don't know what that is do you i don't know what that is either lightly maybe it's like alien or something i don't know huh we'll have to look it up um while down there in the cave during one point of the tour they turned off all of the lights so that we could just see how dark it was oh my god that's so scary i was holding my daughter and i could not even see her a bit it's darkness so dark that you couldn't even see your own hand in front of of your face oh my god the darkness didn't let up either there were no adjustments it was just pitch black well i think this is when we picked up our goblin or alien entity and carried it home with us oh my gosh and we did our usual evening routines but this night was different my daughter

23:00

was five years old when we moved in and she had never had an issue sleeping in her own bed but this night she refused to even walk down the hallway to her room she had the scorpio stellium and is very inclined to other world energy she's beyond intuitive so i trusted her she kept telling me that the closet wasn't good in her room so i tucked her into bed and my husband and i settled into the living room for some tv time and minutes later my daughter screamed and i ran into the room and she told me that there was something in the window well i freaked out because this is exactly what the goblins on hellier did to the children other things that were strange happened that evening and then the next day i being a witch put all of the protections up in our house i busted out every spell in the book i staged the [ __ ] out of the house and i went to the local metaphysical store to get a blue candle that i dressed and petitioned for archie for archangel michael to protect our

24:00

home that meditation that evening was otherworldly and one of the most far-out experiences that i've ever had we haven't had any other activity from goblins since but we did have activity that continued until my second daughter was born my daughter continued to be terrified of her room the closet especially and there was a toy horse the one with the stick that you ride that would constantly go off on its own that's a scary that's like one of the scarier toys to go off isn't it i love watching your facial expressions as you read crin because i'm really i'm like re-reading it for the first time i know basically you like have a big smile and then your eyes go wide it's so fun i don't even notice that i'm doing it i'm also sweating my balls off i swear it's the light it's like not me but i hope people can't like in order for this to happen a button would have to be pushed on the ear our doorbell also started to ring on its own

25:00

all the time and the light in the hallway by my daughter's room would flicker my husband changed the wall the bulbs but it continued i tried to open the horse and take the batteries out but it wouldn't even budge my husband who has catholic upbringing refused to even touch it anyway this continued for quite some time and no matter what protections or barriers that i put up it persisted i told my husband that it felt like a very playful energy almost childlike well that spring we learned that i was expecting our second child and it just got more intense i joked with my other daughter that it was our spirit baby getting ready for her and for us oh that's really cute i know since our daughter was born last march there's been zero activity oh i've just ah the doorbell has not rang which honestly which was honestly constant at one point

26:00

the horse stopped and the lights stopped flickering especially because it's like i know coming i want to enter the i just picture for some reason spirits who are ready to come back to earth and and souls those souls having so much more energy than maybe people that that weren't ready or like weren't planning on coming back so it makes sense that there was so much activity that it was like the lights flicker there was so much power because they were about to re-enter a body thing right she said i truly believe that it was just our baby hanging out getting a feel for the life that she was about to enter into and also giving her big sis a hard time while she could my second daughter has a stylium and in pisces and i can already tell that she has a very special connection to the other side i suppose that's a story for another

Past life story

time but thanks for all the spooky tales that you share in the love you pour into the pod it radiates out see you on the other side

27:00

that is incredible i know i'm in awe of that for two years they were having these and it all stopped right it oh my gosh that is so freaking right like the fact that it was like a band-aid rip that it all just stopped like yeah how can you ignore that that you know now that your youngest daughter yeah was there because how else does it explain it okay now i'm really excited it was childlike yeah i'm really curious now when tay's daughter is like four-ish if she'll remember a past life and have or have memory of ringing the doorbell you know like like saying things like how come you wouldn't let me in mommy or something like that right or like oh i used to i remember when i played with this horse or something like that i remember when i

28:00

stayed in sissy's closet and scared her at night yeah remember when i my bedroom was in sissy's closet and she's like no what the hell oh my gosh oh i need to stop swearing i don't know where i picked this up yeah no you know what i love i love it i encourage it thank you well we do write you check the little explicit box when we post our yeah episodes because we never know what's gonna i mean we're technically explicit just from the name itself so yeah i think even if we were like singing sweet lullabies we'd probably have to click explosive yeah it's questions singing sweet lullabies would be really terrifying oh we should do one of those how i wonder what when you are oh i've missed your demon voice oh

29:00

beautiful okay i have i've been waiting to read this story corinne and i've i've even made mention of it to you before it's a little bit of a long one but oh my gosh okay ah okay it is called listen yeah settle in it is called my daughter's past life in the victorian era and it's my listener elsie hello amazing ladies my name is elsie and my awesome paranormal obsessed sister heidi suggested your podcast a month ago and my heart has never known such satisfaction unfortunately my type a brain cannot skip ahead so here i am anxiously at episode 31 and i just can't listen fast enough because i'm so far behind i apologize if you've already done an episode about

30:00

this topic you guys who cares if we've already done it just send everything we repeat topics all the time oh all the time okay if anything it's at least giving me an opportunity to finally write down this story before my terrible memory destroys it for no good reason this story is about my four-year-old daughter nora who has recently told me about her past life and it is quite detailed so cue the anastasia soundtrack and let's get ready for this journey to the past i have three children each with their own unique quirks and nora is my adorable mysterious middle when she was two and three she would say some random sentences that i thought were uncommon for kids that age to say she would sometimes call me mother which i thought was a little too formal for my comfort also she would often say i'm a boy mom i'm a boy and thinking her growing brain was just

31:00

not grasping the male female concept i would usually respond with well actually you're a girl but of course you can be a boy if you want let's talk about it again in a few years but one day she was talking to her older sister harriet and things got interesting i didn't overhear the beginning of the conversation but i did hear nora respond yeah like when i was a boy my interest suddenly peaked i asked when you were a boy when was this speaking as casually as if talking about her morning bowel movement nora replied before i came here to be with you i was a boy then i died when i was eight i went to heaven and then i came here to be with you now i'm not necessarily a skeptic however i do know my four-year-old has a very wild imagination so i begin to ask questions and i try to stay open-minded i asked when you were a boy did you have a mom and dad

32:00

yes did they talk like we did or did they sound different sort of like us in english i think but i don't talk like that anymore what sort of clothes did you wear i wore boy clothes but when i was a baby i wore dresses what kind of clothes did your mommy wear t-shirts and jeans like me

Verifying the past life

no she wore a dress that was really tight and criss-crossed in the middle and then put a big dress on top of that with a big bow and it was poofy on the bottom at this point i thought that is very specific like how would a child ever know that yeah so she goes at this point i thought hmm okay well maybe elsa or anna could have influenced this easily but i'll continue what did your daddy wear casually she answered wedding clothes but sometimes he wore a blue outfit with a blue hat and a gold metal eagle on a gold medal eagle in the middle with

33:00

its wings kind of up and there were gold buttons down his front and he had big boots oof okay time for me to start recording this [ __ ] i then proceeded to ask many more questions over the course of the next few weeks without trying to bother her too much she told me her name was abby and despite me saying that abby was a girl's name nora was adamant that her name was abby when she was a boy her dad's name was crew and she couldn't remember her mom's name but she thought it sounded maybe like her brother's current her current brother's name which is frank she was also adamant that there were two boys and two girls so she had two sisters and one brother she thought her sister's name was lily but couldn't remember couldn't remember the names of the other children she does have a friend at daycare named lily so i took that with a grain of salt she said she wasn't the eldest but she wasn't the youngest either she also had two dogs one was a small puppy her dad liked to wear his uniform and

34:00

work on ships and her mom liked to read books to people and she said she could see the ocean every day from her house at this point what a nice life it's just so detailed move back to california oh no well you can see the water you can see the harbor i can literally see the ocean from my apartment but i want someone to read books to me i'm basically reading a book to you that's true that's true yeah at this point i'm very interested but still hesitant because i know that little [ __ ] could be pulling my leg i asked her if she could draw her house for me and she was so excited about that she draws up some cute little squares where everyone slept and said that she slept with her brother in one big bed and her sister slept in bunk beds when i asked her where her mom and dad slept she drew two beds i asked if she

35:00

meant to draw one bed and she said no they slept in separate beds and unless i left the history channel on i don't think there's a way she would have known that husbands and wives used to have separate beds i did a quick google search for when did couples sleep in separate beds and the response was for almost a century between the 1850s and 1950s separate beds were seen as a healthier more modern option for couples than the double honestly i wouldn't mind if this trend came back i think it is i think so too there are couples who do that yeah anyway i decided that if this was real i was going to try to figure out the date when my daughter was a boy named abby and right now i've got it narrowed down to a century between 1850 and 1950. so since women's fashion is most notable over the years i made a collage of women's clothing styles through the decades and a second collage of women's hairstyles through those decades between the 1800s and 1950s i didn't put

36:00

dates on the pictures just in case she could read them even though she can't read but now i'm second guessing everything so i asked her to point to what her mommy used to wear and how her hair used to look she looked at both collages for a while and picked out 1870s clothing and 1880s hairstyles still thinking this could be a pretty big coincidence i asked her if she lived in the united states and she's nods yes then i asked her if she knew who the president was and i mean she does recognize trump but who doesn't so maybe if there was another notable president in her era she would maybe remember him and she nods her head again and i pull up a poster of the u.s presidents she studies it for a long time and then points confidently at ulysses s grant who served from 1869 to 1877. oh he was most known are you freaking shitty why is that not

37:00

like a book in a movie like we i know this girl needs to do something this is incredible the amount and there's more there's so much more oh this is wild wow he was ulysses s grant was most known for being commanding general of the union army before his presidency and according to nora her dad was a huge fan of his just to confirm that this isn't an

Past life details

insane coincidence i waited a week and showed nora a poster of the president again but picked a different poster with a different character caricatured style she studied it the same way and sure as [ __ ] points to grant once again and slowly rolls her eyes at me and says mom i already told you it was him after i picked my jaw up off the floor i brought in a map of the united states and asked if she could point out which state she lived in again she is four so i thought this might be a long

38:00

shot but what the hell she picked out grant twice so why not estate so she starts to point her figure at towards minnesota but then retracted and said no no no that's where i live now i lived in the roundish one here this one and slams her finger on main main i ask she smiles brightly yes maine and i ask do you remember what city or town in maine and she says um east so i bring up a map of maine and ask her to point to where she thought it might have been her tiny little finger circles an area on the bay and right smack dab under her finger is frickin eastport maine my god we live in minneapolis i know and have never been beautiful and beautiful

39:00

we live in minneapolis and have never been to or talked about maine i researched the history of eastport and it is a cute little port city of a couple thousand residents with gorgeous ocean views they were known for building clipper ships and being the easternmost city in the united states right on the canadian border so this is nuts my daughter was a boy around the 1870s and 1880s and lived in eastport maine with two sisters and a brother so now curious about her name i went on a few baby name websites to look up the name abby and guess what abby was a popular boy's name back in 1850 to 1900 usually as a nickname for abner what the [ __ ] after i read that i had a flashback to when norah's sister harriet was teaching her to write with her name nora would always say my name starts with an a and harriet would say no nora ends with an a it starts with an n and then nora would always storm off frustrated and scream no it starts with

an a ignorant me just chalked it up to dyslexia we started to notice so many other instances where she could verify the lifestyles of the 1800s probably the creepiest was when the kids got a marble set for christmas which included plastic connector pieces to create towers for the marbles to go down nora especially loves this so i asked if she played with marbles when she was a boy to which she responded yes but the marbles didn't look like this and we didn't have this stuff her hands waving over the plastic connector pieces we would sit on the floor with a big circle and try to flick the marbles like this into the circle to bounce other marbles out of the circle there was one big marble and other smaller marbles she just sat there and taught us all how to

Past life trauma

play marbles the original marbles here we're shocked that she remembers the details all of these details yes

41:00

here are some other ingredient moments one day while talking about horses she told us about how she used to ride horses but her mom and sisters had to ride side saddle because they were ladies and they had such poofy dresses she also talked about swimming at a pool and her swimsuit was long shorts but came up and over her shoulders too later when we were having milk one day she told us how her milk came in glass jars in maine not jugs and she didn't get it at the store but a nice milkman would drop it off at her front door when i asked her what kind of food she liked to eat she said french food and then described a warm sandwich pie with crumbly meat inside which i'm assuming is mince meat which or there's a i don't know has this tortilla which according to google is a very traditional french canadian food of course because eastport is next door neighbors to canada then there was a story about how she fell down and lost three teeth and she pointed to the three teeth she lost she

42:00

has not lost any teeth yet in this life when i asked her about her school she said it was white with a bell on the outside and inside with a bell on the outside and inside there were three classrooms with older kids too i looked at the historical school of esport and it only had one classroom however in 1875 when there was rapid growth in the small town the school was renovated to hold three classrooms and included upper-level students oh my god there's no doubt in my mind and even my skeptical skeptical husband's mind that she actually has memories of these experiences from the 1800s i recently asked her skeptical she just taught you i'm like spitting i'm she just told you about an entire life an entire time period an entire town that you've never heard of honestly most americans think maine is a different country they don't know where it is or that it's a state so the fact that she's five years old i

43:00

know four four oh my god like what the you can't like she i'm flustered i know okay they need to go on a family vacation there and just have her take them around and do a tour of this town give them a tour and then invite us i want to go so we can just record it yeah yeah yeah or just like quietly creep as they tour around as a family just be a flying straw yeah yes okay i recently asked her if she remembered how and when she died because i thought maybe just maybe i could find an actual person related to this when i first asked nora how she died she was very reserved and didn't want to talk about it so i didn't push it until one day she decided to tell me she said she was eight years old standing in the living room and the chandelier fell on top of her and her puppy that she was holding she pointed to her tummy and said something in here broke and the doctor

44:00

couldn't fix it and she and her puppy died i said oh i'm so sorry norah your family must have been really sad she got really somber and said yes but they could but they put a candle on a plate and it floated it in the ocean for me and it made me really happy i stayed and watched them until they died when they were old harriet said oh cool so you were a ghost in your house and nora got so offended and said no i was not a ghost i was an angel a beautiful angel oh oh this is killing me this is so sweet oh ah why do i have tears in my eyes why am i crying this is the most beautiful story i've ever heard i know and there's more there's so much more okay i spent a few days trying to figure out

Ancestry investigation

exact dates and realize she was more willing to talk about her death when we

45:00

were having a midnight snack before bed yes she totally manipulated me but it was worth it side note because i will be talking about actual people i found on ancestry.com and find a grave.com i thought it would be best to slightly change names and dates because i don't want to offend any living relatives in any way so when i asked her if she remembered her birthday she easily rattled off january 21st which is not her current birthday then she said she died in the spring of 1889 so knowing she died when she was eight i wanted to test her a little to see if she could pick out her birth year i said were you born in 1883 no 82 no 81 yes 80 no mom i said 81 81 clearly i'm in deep now so i neglected my paying job responsibilities for a few days i hope my boss does not listen to this podcast i paid for a month's subscription to

46:00

ancestry.com in all related sites and spent some long hours doing research i did a search for the whole state of maine in case he was born outside of eastport and searched for an abner born on january 21 1881 died in 1889. the search brought up about 50 hits not bad there were only a handful of abners as a first name and the dates ranged close to those dates nora listed but not exactly most of them sadly had died in fires one abner was born in portland in 1880 and died in washington county in 1888 but the death certificate said died from eating poison berries sad but not my abner the rest of the abners were middle names eventually i reached one that stuck out to me he was born in january 1881 and died in april spring of 1889. this was the only avenue with those exact dates and guess which city he was born and died in

47:00

eastport maine his full name sabrina you and i have had reincarnation as a topic before and we have found ones that are like this is the most detailed case the franchise you'll ever hear this is this is what you're reading right now this is his full name was frank abner cook remember how they said that the mom's name was frank or something like that okay the parents names were different from what noreva called but they were originally born in canada and the dad was in the civil war and enlisted in the navy this was all starting to align except i noticed on the mother's death certificate that she had 10 children so i thought that was the end of the line and all that searching was for nothing however when i looked at the dates there were only four children

48:00

alive when frank abner lived and died two girls and two boys chills unfortunately the death certificate had said cause of death unmarked but i guess death by chandelier might be an uncommon thing to indicate the four children's names were harry frank lillian and martha so she was

Past life conclusions

right about lily and ironically and sort of eerily my other two children's names are harriet who we call harry occasionally and frank i mean what are the chances but he was a crew member of multiple ships and he worked in the harbor after his time in the navy so maybe that's where the name crew came from the grandfather's name was also frank so perhaps frank jr went by abner or abby instead all of this is of course speculation but so many things seem to make sense that i find it almost hard not to believe even her daycare teachers have told me that she is not a normal toddler in her

49:00

recent report card they wrote nora seems to be taking it all in she is so patient and kind and has the best posture i swear she is an old soul well little do they know how right they are wow i know when she was an infant her nickname at dick her nickname at daycare was clumsy cherub she would always run into things and her crawling was the most awkward thing i've ever seen it was as if it was as if she was angry she had to crawl and just wanted to stand stand up she'd slam her hands on the floor and try to go as fast as she could i guess her old soul was frustrated being stuck in such a little body again one last creepy thing the day she was born these are creepy i think this is freaking fantastic yeah the day she was born i had this overwhelming feeling that she would die young and tragically it was such a strong feeling that i even told my husband he brushed it off as just that natural

50:00

protective mommy feeling but i never had that with my other kids the feeling eventually went away and after hearing these stories from nora i wonder if instead of a premonition i was just feeling residual energy from her past life at least that's what i hope whether this was all just a crazy coincidence an elaborate tale from a creative toddler or an actual past life i have been blown away and have learned a lot of history along the way not to mention our family will be going to maine for a family vacation and maybe we will learn a little more than we originally planned from our tiny tour guide i hope you both enjoyed this story i know it's not usually what you talk about oh my gosh it's amazing um thanks for reading p.s i included nora's drawings of her past family for shits and giggles enjoy some seriously sincerest whoa sincerely elise look at this photo

51:00

oh my god the costumes and the dogs that's like not that's not how anyone today would draw their family clothing-wise amazing truly i can't believe elise until she like her child was sitting on all this information and it just took at least asking like one time to hear more information and now she's gotten all yes like her kid was just like like and it just didn't they're hearing because she because at least overheard a conversation between nora and harriet and was like wait i'm sorry when you were a boy what do you mean yeah this is truly incredible it's so incredible when did when did we get this email i'm wondering if they already took their trip to maine back in february okay so two months ago we should check in

52:00

yes yes yeah i wonder when their trip is because if it hasn't happened yet we need a live feed for everyone seriously when nora is walking through

Doppelganger story

esport are you kidding me there's no way that they don't get more information from nora yes like i'm sure things are the fact that she remembers the details of how to play marbles like the other stuff is going to come flooding back this is truly incredible it's so i don't even know where to begin because there's just so many things like and the fact that elise has been able to verify and find the ancestry.com stuff i mean there's truly no way for a little nora past life abby to know any of this right unless it was a real past life and it is 100 i have no doubt in my mind there's literally how could you disprove

53:00

this everything has been picked up by research yes and also just the amount of accuracy in detail time and time and time and time again the probability of all of those guesses being right when telling her story nora's retelling of her life as abby that's impossible it's probably like just as much of a chance of getting hit and killed by a comet on planet earth as you do getting this many things accurate in a row as a four-year-old child can we interview normal i just want i know we we should do our child episode on uh campfire stories and have nora come on oh my god yes yes that's such a good idea if they'll allow it at least and we will be in touch we will our people will call your people

54:00

aka you and i corrine we'll talk to you at least someone needs to get this kid an agent literally though like this could be so many things this could book deals tvs movies like documentaries like this is incredible we get to live right now at the same time that nora does isn't that awesome like if you think about like previous stories where like we do the research and those people who had these stories and incredible retellings like we didn't get to experience it live yeah we're experiencing this live right now right and i wonder how long because i feel like all the stories we've done research of they at some point forgot their past lives you know they get they reach an age where right they no longer remember it so we're we're living it with nora and i'm curious at what point i just uh i want her to hold on to it forever and i know i know that probably won't happen but i just want to continue to experience it and also the fact that harriet was like you were a ghost she was like no i was

55:00

an angel a beautiful beautiful angel number one it's beautiful and number two i was thinking too because obviously abby's or nora's past life the most recent one was abby according to her retelling and yeah before we learned to that fact i was like huh like i was just thinking like i wonder what the average amount of time like the average direction is for spirits to like reincarnate and i never considered that spirits would wait until all of their family has passed before considering coming back it never crossed my mind but we heard it here from abby we heard it nora and yeah i mean we've talked i think we talked about this when we did the the last reincarnation episode not too long ago of it is it does vary i mean the the family that i did they were instantly reincarnated into the same family but in abby's instance it was reincarnated what

56:00

almost i don't math like almost 150 years later you know right so yeah it just you don't know there's there's no rhyme or reason or but there probably is but we just don't understand it because there's gotta be there's gotta be some additional connection because like at least was saying she named her other children names that were awesome frank and harriet yeah right that were in no maybe there is a connection i feel like there's gotta be right oh elise you should ask if you were part of abby's past life yeah if she'll remember or like what if it's one of those things where like maybe at least was a grandparent or something that maybe abby never met because it's not like we're wondering well it also sounds like abby's mom in that past life had 10 children and only

57:00

four of them really survived so it could have you know they could have passed each other in that way maybe they were yeah they were siblings maybe they were siblings wow there's got

Ghost cats and woods

to be something because it's just it's too spooky like all of the connections there and how strong she felt giving birth to nora like like absorbing that story and that i was a beautiful angel wow oh my god this is incredible i'm so glad you read it i'm so glad we were so i've been holding on to it for so long i know oh it's so good so real so good wow i love it all right what do you have broken up by a creepy ass doppelganger oh that's like okay okay hey corinne sabrina and ghost i'm cass i might lose my cool like dmx if you read this because i'm a huge fan of the

58:00

podcast and the campfire stories this encounter happened just a month ago my fiance was ill with kobed and we have a guest room and a bathroom in the basement so he was staying down there to not risk getting me sick too after his sims after his symptoms started to subside we talked about hanging out again but figured we'd play it safe and just wait it out just a couple more days i love it you live together do you wanna hang no so just a couple more days of delivering medicine ramen and mac and cheese his favorite comfort foods me too yum to the outside of the guest room door i missed him but we could do it it was kind of creepy being in the house without seeing him because he was downstairs i could obviously sense a presence but we couldn't really visit for some reason i peaked spook i peak spooked during this time of course i was playing the pod like i always do but something in the air felt

59:00

off and a little darker than usual

The invitation to play

the presence i was sensing felt very heavy despite him being a fairly despite him being in fairly good spirits we made the decision to wait it out a couple more days in the early afternoon and then that night i was laying in bed alone we have no pets and it was very quiet in the house i just rolled onto my side to cuddle up and try to doze off when i felt what seemed like the small pressure points on the bed beside me like when a cat walks on the bed while you're on it and you can feel their little paws taking steps near you this made me roll over and i saw my fiance standing beside the bed he was smiling his arms were straight out angled down towards the mattress his hands and feet i think she meant i don't know if she meant to say fingers but it wrote fingers his hands and fingies were extended and his fingertips pressed into the

1:00:00

mattress picture someone standing and playing piano with straight arms oh i don't know why someone would play piano like that but that was the posture that was what it was like i noticed his arms and hands looked longer than usual and his grain was mischievous initially i thought it was him being a freaking weirdo per usual calling his quarantine cutting his quarantine time short getting ready to just climb into bed with me and maybe just to say hi i remember not feeling scared but more confused so i laughed at him and i said what are you doing and he's this kind of prankster and likes to make me laugh so i didn't think much of it in the moment and i was so close to being asleep that i just said kind of whatever and rolled back over and i passed out the next morning i woke up to an empty spot beside me and i called him on his phone i asked why did you come into the bedroom last night acting all weird i could hear confusion in his voice and he said that he hadn't come into the room he'd never come upstairs

1:01:00

he's not really into the paranormal stuff like i am but even he was freaked out by this i know what i saw and what i experienced i hadn't fallen asleep yet and i wasn't quite in that space between wake and sleep where weird ish goes down i was totally aware i genuinely thought it was him i did some doppelganger research and learned that they can be a terrible omen and since he was really sick sick albay on the mend i was very on edge about the whole thing needless to say i saged the hell out of the house including the room that he was staying in i said protection and banishing spells and told whatever the heck it was to not come back into our home it was not welcome i even went as far as to sprinkle salt around the entire exterior of our house to protect it from any negative energies the next day the energy felt balanced again i did not feel that weird presence like i had the day before and my fiance had made a full recovery i remained healthy and all things are good sometimes you just gotta

Depression as a figure

1:02:00

tell these spooky entities to f off thanks for creating such an amazing community of folks i love what you do and always get super fired up whenever there's a new episode much love and light cass that is so unsettling and ugh the mischievous smile ew like it like this is what it's doing this is what i'm picturing like like yeah it's like kind of like yeah it's so creepy it's literally oh oh gives me the heebie-jeebies to think about i which it doesn't happen he was a prankster because then you're like right okay like that's weird and creepy but like huh and at least she didn't find out in that moment at night that it wasn't him right because i wouldn't i mean if i were cast i would never sleep just tired enough to ignore it right yeah yeah but to find out in the morning like

1:03:00

hey what the heck were you doing for him to be like what do you mean i never left right i was never up there it's just so armstrong i know doppelganger is always just freaking me out because it's like one regardless of what it is it is it's terrifying to think that something out there has the ability to mimic anyone and so physically like it's one thing if you you know see someone pass by a shadowy type of figure but for for whatever this entity to entity is to have the ability to fully form as someone else right to the point period of time yeah this is reminding me of do you remember i think it was like probably two or three years ago at this point when we read another listener's email about another doppelganger be i think it was mimicking their dad

1:04:00

and people would like go out to bars like this doppelganger like lived an entire life as him i thought it was a girl who like multiple people would come up to her and she was like i don't know you and they're like yes you do right i hope it was just they just don't get what they want separate twins separated at birth at birth just like orbited each other but yeah super freaky and it's also it's like a little disconcerting that it makes me feel like there was a spirit like a dark energy already around and was just waiting for the opportunity to push in because the fact that like as

Haunted townhouse

soon as they separated as soon as he went downstairs as soon as he wasn't feeling well and cass was alone she was a darkening feeling yeah right but it's just like what do you what do they want what are they what are they getting at yeah like what's the point what does this do for you

1:05:00

yeah the age-old question that we want to ask demons but we don't want to be so close to demons to actually be able to ask them that so well so do you have a demon are you haunted by a demon ask them ask your demon we'll create a list of questions for the [Laughter] i feel like that would demons be inviting the demons to come answer them from us which no thank you but i do want the answers so yeah okay i have a story and it's called something crawls on my bed hi mama invitation to play hey ghostesses i've just recently found your podcast and i love it uh back in 1994 my parents brought my parents bought their first house in a little suburbian pocket of southern california and moved in with my two older sisters a year later i was born

1:06:00

each member of our little family of five has their own story to tell about experiences in our house but here are just a few now when i was younger i was deeply terrified of my childhood bedroom truthfully i'm still terrified to this day i have vivid memories of being dreadfully afraid of bedtime because i knew i would be alone in my shared bedroom because my older sister was in high school and stayed up later than me and that i wouldn't be safe after my mom would tuck me in for the night and close the door i would quickly pull my blanket up over my head and bury my head beneath the pillow leaving only the tiniest pocket exposed so that i could breathe although i felt sufficiently hidden it was never enough to stop the experiences from happening this is so sad i know this is really awful i would be laying alone in the dark the creaky bedroom door my mom had closed on her way out would remain shut so i knew there was no other living person in the

1:07:00

room with me or i would have heard them enter and then dread would rush over me and i would feel like someone was standing right at the edge of my bed staring

Miraculous recovery

directly down at me i never saw anything but the presents felt like a male child other times there was something else in the room i would feel the edge of the bed sink down as if someone had just sat down next to where my body lay sometimes it would just sit and i'd eventually drift off to sleep but sometimes this thing would choose to be more animated and terrifying i would feel it start at the edge of my bed with the mattress sinking below the weight of its hands and then its full body weight slowly crawling up the bed making its way up to me it would crawl at least halfway up and i would be tucked away my blanket pillow fortress shutting my eyes and breathing as quietly as possible saying little prayers in my head until again i would eventually drift off into sleep

1:08:00

i never awoke with bruises or scratch marks that i can remember but i can tell you that thing never felt friendly to this day anyone who enters that room in the house has the same thing to say about it the room feels heavy here's one story from my mom and my sister centered around me but really about someone or something else for anonymity purposes i'll refer to my sister as alyssa and myself as marie apparently when i was around three or four years old i would wake up every morning and run down the hallway from my bedroom into our living room i would plop myself down on the couch and wait for my mom to bring me chocolate milk before it was time to get ready for preschool one morning my mom and alyssa were in the kitchen getting ready for the work school day our house is pretty small and cozy so the distance from the kitchen to the living room is short as they were in the kitchen making lunches for the day both my mom and alyssa swear that they would hear a

1:09:00

little girl's voice who they thought was me saying from the living room hi mama my mom trying to get three kids out the door to school sighed when she realized i was up earlier than usual she quickly made some chocolate milk for me and asked alyssa go give this to your sister my sister walked the short distance from the kitchen into the living room and when she got to the couch she looked around confused came back into the kitchen and said mom marie isn't in the living room my mom in a rush to get ready said she'd go check my bedroom to see where i could have wandered off to but that is when my mom found me still tucked in bed sound asleep both my mom and my sister say it's one of the creepiest things that have happened to them in our house and they

The secret room

have no explanation for it to the day here's the most recent one that happened sidebar before the story i rarely check the time on my phone when i sleep in my parents house because every single time i wake up in the middle of the night at their house it's always around 3 a.m so i've just learned

1:10:00

not to check the time because it freaks me out even more so this summer i was in between living situations and moved back in with my parents for a short period of time on one of my first nights back in my old childhood home something peculiar happened i had been fast asleep but had been woken up out of my sleep for no apparent reason i awoke to dead silence and immediately felt uneasy as i laid there in bed as still as a statue afraid to move as i said i rarely check my phone when i sleep in my hands at my parents house but on this particular night i was looking for something to distract me from the uneasy feeling that was brewing i broke my stillness and grabbed my phone and of course the time glowing on the screen was 2 59 am i brushed it off and scrolled through social media for a few minutes taking my mind off the feeling after maybe five minutes i rested my phone beside me on the mattress and decided it was time to go back to bed

1:11:00

i laid in my bed for a few minutes eyes closed when i heard something very tiny drop against the hardwood floor it sounded like it came from outside the hallway into my bedroom the sense of unease i had previously tried to tame bubbled back up and turned into pure fear i immediately squeezed my already shut eyes as if this would give me more protection and decided i would not engage with whatever i had just heard i will not investigate what that sound was i should pretend i didn't hear it i said to myself i thought about the happiest memory i could and i must have drifted off drifted off into sleep the next morning when i woke up it felt safer to be curious i peered off my bed onto the floor i peered off my bed onto the floor and that's when i saw it a tiny pebble just laying in the middle of the floor close to the bedroom door i got out of bed picked it up in my hand

1:12:00

and then dropped it on purpose to hear if it made a similar sound to the one i had heard last night it did i then realized the spot where i had found it was so strange it was as if someone had thrown it underneath the small gap in my bedroom door from the hallway pebble in hand i went out into the hallway closed the bedroom door behind me crouched down and tossed the pebble underneath the gap in the door into the bedroom and listened as it made the eerily similar sound from the night prior the reenactment of this action made me realize how playful it was immediately i thought this was an invitation to play

The hospital visitor

i don't know what to make of it all i know is it was a peculiar thing to have happened like where the [ __ ] did this pub this pebble even come from i am so glad i didn't roll out of bed around 3am to engage see on the other side from a spooky podcast listener that is i mean really sad really scary

1:13:00

just the whole thing it's like the fear of ever falling asleep and being in bed and constantly feeling like something's around you or something's gonna attack like to wake up in the middle of the night and notice that it's always the same time to have a pebble thrown at you basically to try to like what even is that is it a child that's like oh i just want to play and this is what's available to me but there's also something weird kind of like yeah like if there was no feeling like come here wonder if they're still sleeping and i hope not in the same childhood bedroom but it does sound like there's an entity that has latched on to or taken a fascination and a liking to our this listener because the way that they describe the entity at the edge of the bed crawling onto the top of her and then

1:14:00

it's sitting it's the old hag that's what it sounds like remember like the story and then it like it crawls up your body and then just perches and sits on your chest that's what it sounds like i know and then kind of similar doppelganger situation where it's like something is also mimicking her or was when she was a kid hi mama hi mama that happened to my mom a lot when my brother and i were growing up yeah often she would hear mom our mom from our rooms and go in and we either we're like dead asleep or we're not anywhere near that part of the house oh my gosh she was always being summoned to our rooms by mom it is interesting it makes you wonder is there your childhood home sounds scary yeah but like was it was it another child was it a doppelganger was

1:15:00

it like residual energy where you just say hi mama or like mom enough times where it i have no idea that energy in the space just kind of gets stained and repeats honestly i prefer i prefer that one but just based on how many other things are happening in this house i feel like there's something malicious to it yeah right i don't know that would make sense because it doesn't seem like there's anything sweet about any of the activity like it's pretty heavy very taunting not into it i mean into the story but don't want that to happen

Cat visitation

to them anymore that's that's a hard thing to deal with i know scary all right this is from jordan and it's called ghost cats trees with bad vibes and maybe now i'm haunted well there's already this one hi ladies i've only recently started listening to your podcast after my friend katie recommended it to me listening to your stories has become the highlight of my long commutes during a

1:16:00

difficult time in my life where i don't have a steady home environment i'm stuttering but she's trying to apologize for the length of this which we've said about a million times no matter the length of your email three sentences or 30 paragraphs never apologize never asked to start i've always loved the paranormal and i've been fascinated by the ideas of ghosts and being open to sensitive and being open or sensitive to spirits as i have learned more about the paranormal i've come to believe that i may be more sensitive to spirits than others and am a very strong empath which has made for some crazy experiences the first one i can remember was this was a strange immense pull to stop at a local cemetery near my childhood home when i was maybe six or seven years old i asked my mom to stop and pull into the lot in front of the small baptist church

1:17:00

and cemetery and i got out of the car and i went to the gate of the cemetery it felt odd as i got closer but it wasn't until i touched the fence that i really reacted i felt like i got punched by feelings of immense sadness and pain and i became very very cold i started to cry and my mom didn't understand what was going on so i made up some excuse for her and when i let go of the fence that feeling faded away needless to say i do not touch cemetery fences anymore the main story starts in fifth grade

The hooded man

also i just did like the weirdest thing i meant to like lick my lips but i like like this and then i started talking and i was like that has gotta look so weird i just have to call that i didn't even notice it i didn't notice it at all the main story yeah gross okay i love tongues too like that's so other people like hate feet or other things tongues give me the heebie-jeebies not into tongues just cut them all off

1:18:00

yeah no thanks i do i never want to look at my tongue again okay the means the main story starts in fifth grade for me i had a cat for the first time in my life and she meant the world to me her name was janie and i found her in the backyard when i was trying to find my brother yes i came from i came home with a cat instead of my brother jeannie was very attached to me and would sleep with me at night and massage or make biscuits on my back at night when she would shoot until she would fall asleep it became a nightly ritual for us fast forward a few months and i suddenly lost her to feline i'm oh pan leukie pan leukopenia i don't know what that is but it's f.i.p i don't know sad i don't know but i'm sure it was go through yeah yeah and i was completely distraught a few nights after she passed i woke up in the middle of the night to the sound

1:19:00

of purring and the feeling of pause meeting on my back i was still groggy and i told jeannie to stop before reality hit me and i remembered that she had passed i sat up in bed and still heard the purring next to me even in the dark i could see and feel these little paws walk across my bed over my legs to get to the corner of the bed near the door i heard a soft stump like a cat jumping onto the floor and then the purring faded out into the doorway i took it as genie telling me goodbye and letting me know that she was okay that is after this it's so beautiful i hope that happens to you with leia i hope she never leaves you i just hope you never dies yeah she's a vampire witch kitty did you oh i wish that for you too that would be great okay after this i was convinced ghosts were real and i could communicate with them spoiler alert i was also obsessed with watching ghost whisperer and ghost

1:20:00

hunters for me too one day after genie visited i was outside playing wall ball by myself when i got the feeling that i was being watched i looked up the road of my cul-de-sac and i saw this man with red hair and a pink shirt standing at the

Woods encounter

next cul-de-sac that intersected mine i didn't think much of it and i looked back to the side of my house when i saw the man now standing in my garage between oh my gosh my parents cars now if that wasn't enough to give corinne chills his shirt wasn't pink like i thought it was a white shirt with blood splatter covering it and his face and now i have chills oh what i'm unwell i was taken aback when i blinked and he was gone so i just decided it was time to go inside and yes i went through the garage no oh okay i had a great grab lay i have your protection kitty oh now it gets worse

1:21:00

from here my childhood friend also believed in ghosts and he and i decided to play ghost hunters outside at my house we were wandering around claiming to feel cold spots or different energy around us and eventually split up this was the first bad decision because as soon as we split up i felt a draw towards these two trees that lined the break between my backyard and a huge swatch of woods most of the break line was normal trees and brush except for this one spot with two distinct arizona cypress trees right next to each other with a tiny space between them so my next bad decision was to follow this draw like what i did with the cemetery and walk up and through these two odd trees even though part of me was screaming that something was wrong i immediately i'm thinking of outlander like just sucked into another time yeah yeah as soon as i stepped through the trees i'm still not sure what happened i was still in the woods in my backyard but it felt different and foreign i was frozen in place and i could hear only

1:22:00

screaming whirling around my whole body then i heard the sound of hoof beats headed for me and turned just enough to see this hazy black hooded figure riding full speed on a black horse stop me stop this is like outlander right i still couldn't move and i felt like whatever it was was focused on me before this terrifying horseman reached me my friend called out my name and it broke whatever trance or paralysis that i had experienced as soon as it broke the horseman the screaming the cold paralysis all was gone and i ran out of the woods we went back to the front yard and i didn't tell my friend what happened he left me alone again and i felt this rush of cold air come up from behind me and this was in the middle of summer in north carolina and a creepy voice whispered in my in my ear he's here and then it was gone [Laughter]

1:23:00

oh my god i tried to brush this off as an overactive imagination but two days later the figure came back i was laying in bed in the morning with the light coming through all of the windows when i felt watched again i looked at the front of my bed and the hooded figure was there again and i froze i shut my eyes and i kept repeating that nothing was there nothing was there i was fine and all i could assume is that i sh all and all i can assume is that i shut my connection to the paranormal that morning because i didn't have any other paranormal experiences until last year that's wild wow there's a lot going on in this neighborhood or in the world seriously yeah i've also never seen a neighborhood with two cul-de-sacs that intersect so i would like to just see that i'm trying to picture how i was trying to pick her to that yeah i need a max purse yes

1:24:00

this next part i want to give warning for all as i talk about extreme mental health issues and depression beginning in middle school i started suffering from depression but didn't want to admit it to myself and i didn't start counseling until i was 22 and i didn't start medication until i was almost 26. as i was growing up and dealing with this growing depression i always liked to draw and write poetry and one theme was consistent i always imagined and described my depression as a cold terrifying hooded man in black whenever i felt feel extremely depressed or have a complete mental breakdown i felt like that hooded man was resting cold shoulders cold hands on my shoulders and leaning over my back touching on yet fast forward to last year during the pandemic my cat dolce dolce dolphin yeah dolce pictured for tax attachment oh

1:25:00

that's a sweet kitty spaghetti

Recent paranormal activity

i need to turn my brightness up that was not great here here's the brighter one maybe it's not that much further okay that's okay okay that's better oh there we go we need adultery to get get her moment get through this yeah okay um fast forward to last year during the pandemic my cat dolce became very sick very suddenly and crossed the rainbow bridge oh i did not take it well and i remembered when genie visited me so i opened myself up again in hopes of getting a visit from dolce but unfortunately that's not what visited me within a few days of her passing i started having nightmares and when i was home alone i heard things in my apartment the first time it sounded like some something like glass crashing on the floor in my kitchen but when i ran from the bedroom but when i ran in from the bedroom there was nothing there

1:26:00

then i was in my spare room when it sounded like a huge rock hit the glass on my window but nothing was there and there's a screen that would have stopped anything from hitting my window it kept getting worse and it was almost and it was almost my lack of response that was upsetting whenever it was but it wasn't until i was sitting at my desk and i heard something hit the wall right next to my head hard that i finally lost it it was like the sound of someone throwing something at the wall or smacking it with an open hand in anger now i do live in an apartment but this wall was to the outside of the building and i live on the third floor the sound was also heard by my dog who sat up and stared at the wall too i was terrified after that and felt like something truly evil was trying to torture me while i was vulnerable and i flashed back to what i saw when i was a kid and i shut down the emotional barrier again to protect myself as soon as i did it the dark energy went away and all the activity stopped at

1:27:00

this point all i can think is that whenever is that whatever i saw as a kid attached itself to me but can only impact me when i'm emotionally weak so there's my freaky tales of ghost cats maybe something darker that follows me around and the last thing i'll add to this is that the arizona cypress i mentioned in my childhood backyard are the only healthy ones in the entire neighborhood all the others have slowly rotted and died over the years so that is creepy by itself keep up the good work ladies and enjoy the pictures of my late dolce the calico and my new cat ezra the fluff ball oh so i showed both of our cats see you on the other side jordan

Haunted townhouse stories

here all right i'm re-show this one with the okay brightness up oh sorry guys corinne is very technical he challenged sabrina to help me get my headphones hooked up at the beginning of

1:28:00

every single one i'm like how do i get my headphone audio to my computer again i'm sorry can you say that again i am every job i've ever had i've been like what i think is best friends with it but i'm sure in it's mind i am like their worst client because i am technically challenged it's okay we all have our things we all have our things and apparently for jordan a good thing that she has is the power to shut off the paranormal and protect herself yes although i do wish she had she could find like an in-between you know where she's protected but also gets the visitations from yeah hardly cats and i know i think that's the biggest thing is especially because jordan was opening themselves up to getting like a visitation from dolce which then probably also opened jordan

1:29:00

up to visitation from this dark hooded figure that has been tormenting them for their whole lives which is so i it's so weird i want to know what it is and why it is and i know he's here whisper is so creepy oh i mean jordan was also saying let's not forget when they saw this man splattered with blood down the road and then relocated into the garage hate that that is so freaking scary yeah i feel like a god evil a villain right now like petting my cat petting leia william's like i'm just here to hear about all the cats look she's looking up the microphone she's like now it's my time contemplating oh consciously saying something or she's saying man jordan i'm sorry that you had to lose your your cats your kitties i know

1:30:00

how nice that genie did get to visit that's a good paranormal experience that is an amazing paranormal experience right the next do you have to keep us updated they're back yeah oh again it is really interesting too that the jordan was saying that when picturing their depression that is the image that comes up like that is how so fascinating yeah i wonder i do i guess i just wonder like which way the connection goes

The possessed child

does it manifest like that because that's that's interesting that is interesting or is the dark-hooded figure just you know taking advantage of jordan when experiencing depression right i don't know but jordan we're here for you

1:31:00

we are and we hope that thing is never never coming back get out of here get out get out of here really put away oh her cute little when she goes like that like it just looks like she's got a little a cute little frown but it's just our sweet little mouth and little chinny chin chin a little tinny okay i have a story from our listener well it's anonymous okay from anonymous and it's called a ghost encouraged me to get a divorce oh hi ladies i'll try to keep this short but as i'm a bit confused by it myself i want to give you enough details to form an opinion on it you want to go okay lay it out here we go i've never been one to experience paranormal events i've always loved horror movies and ghost stories but i'm not one of those people who ghostly things ever happened to the first and only time that changed for me was a period of about eight months or so in 2019.

1:32:00

i was living with my then husband in our townhouse and we were what i thought at the time in a good relationship so life was going well one day one day my husband was supposed to bring a work friend home with him and when i got home no one else was there but our dad but our dog was acting oddly staring up the stairway at nothing and pacing around uncomfortably knowing she really liked her daily routine i figured my husband and his friend had come back earlier and left to go to a bar or something and got her worked up with her coming and going we had a roommate at the time and he came home soon after and also commented on the dog acting weird i told him my theory about my husband and the friend coming and going and that seemed to settle it an hour later my husband came home when i asked where his friend was he said that the friend had something come up and they had to reschedule when i asked if he had come home earlier he said no and i told him how i noticed our dog was

1:33:00

acting strange and he laughed and said that makes sense i summoned a demon into the house earlier now a few things to understand about my husband he was an extremely rational logical person as such he loved to mock spirituality

Summoned demon divorce

and anything paranormal even though his family is actually pretty haunted but that's too much to explain here he never took ghosts or souls or anything seriously that couldn't be backed up with science after seeing how scared my dog was though i was a little pissed that he jokingly summoned a demon into our house even though i knew he didn't take that or my concern over it seriously that event was weird but after that day i didn't think much more of it but then other things started happening leigh what are you trying to do over there she eating plants or something

1:34:00

she was going like this onto like a frame i think maybe she saw her own paw and was like playing with her paw oh that's cute okay we had an old hutch in our dining room that we used as a liquor cabinet the doors on it were magnetically latched and they were very hard to open due to how old the doors themselves were i always had to brace one hand against one door and pull hard and firmly on the other to get it to open well this thing started opening by itself i never saw anything but one day i was talking to my husband in the next room when i heard the distinct sound of the liquor cabinet door open and then close i stopped talking and peeked around the corner of the room but there was no one there there is no way a change in air pressure or wind would have done that another time i was walking upstairs to our bedroom from getting a drink downstairs and i heard my husband

1:35:00

talking in our bedroom i thought he was on the phone but when i got to the top of the stairs i heard him say oh well that's not good i entered the room and asked who he'd been talking to he told me he had been looking down at his phone when out of the corner of his eye he saw me walk into the room he had been saying something offhand to me but when i didn't respond he looked up and no one was there other small things happened there too i would hear what sounded like someone walking around in our attic but living in a townhouse i just attributed it to our neighbors when our friends would sleep over which was often they frequently thought that i had woken up early because they said they heard someone moving around in the kitchen but it was never me or my husband and our roommates had moved out by then my depression and anxiety were getting worse and worse i started hanging out with some new people and it was like the more time i spent away from the house and my husband the more i realized that i actually wasn't happy in my relationship or life

1:36:00

it was a hard conclusion to come to but it's now been one year since i asked my husband for a divorce and i've never been happier obviously it wasn't just the paranormal stuff at play there was a lot going on in our relationship that we needed to address and we weren't but i felt like somehow whatever was in that house helped me get out maybe my ex cursed himself when he summoned this demon into our home i really don't know but what do you think since seriously why can't i say that word today since

Final thoughts

seriously seriously seriously sincerely interested in what you make of this anonymous wow i mean it's funny because they were saying that their husband is very rational and to me because of my beliefs rationals like well you shouldn't taunt a demon like yeah it's it's realistic that something bad could happen if you do that so yeah that's not

1:37:00

that's all right not rational what the [ __ ] yeah totally opposite yeah we're on the same page yeah it's interesting i mean we say trust your pets all the time so right that's immediately a warning that the dog was acting up and was seriously disturbed and concerned by something upstairs yeah i mean it does sound like yes it's spooky and the fact that this entity again was having the ability to like mimic them you know when her husband when their husband saw the spirit walk past and thought it was her you know right and then right and it's but everything else right like all the friends like it's it's experienced by many yeah many yeah maybe it was like

1:38:00

hey you need to get out of this house because it's mine now i don't know i don't know or maybe it's just here's here's your husband that's like making a joke of this and doesn't believe in it and i'm clearly here and making my presence known and this isn't it's not yet like like you were saying it's like mostly benign yeah it's still spooky to experience but like maybe that was the moment maybe the hope was that it was like i got you i'm here things are real drop this dud let's move somewhere else together drop this dad there's also a weird part of me that that just because i love talking about glitches in the matrix and like different timelines and stuff and overlapping timelines there's this part of me that also imagines that the two are unrelated that you know this listener would have figured out that they needed a divorce and they weren't happy in their relationship

1:39:00

regardless but that some where the like a different parallel universe overlapped and they were happening simultaneously but things were happening at different times so in a different timeline they were opening up that cupboard and they were in the kitchen early in the morning when the friends heard them yeah that's super interesting i didn't think of that but i think that is plausible because my rational brain thinks that that is a high probability i know well yeah because it is rational it is how else do you explain it you don't oh you can't oh a little baby sweet little leia getting rocked big baby but yeah big boy okay i have i love this story i reread it earlier because i was like the title i need to remind myself what goes on i'm so excited i think that this is

1:40:00

this is our way of ending on a on a positive note this is from okay and it is called miracle mrs claus saved my life

Miracle visitor

little christmas in may i know starting an email like this is super awkward because i feel like i know so much about the two of you but you have no idea who i am it makes me feel like a creeper no i am a long time listener and i have a few different inexplicable tales and i will share two one super creepy and one that saved my life i grew up in a haunted house and this is literally the type of thing that horror movies are based off of when i said we were ending on a good note it's because the second story is half and half yeah it's half and half when i was about four my parents bought a house in a small town in franklin in small town franklin indiana i had a beautiful backyard and was perfect for our growing family they

1:41:00

should have known it was going to be haunted the price was just too good for the house that size my mom told me that she knew something was in the house she felt it the day that we moved in and my dad was a fireman so he was at the firehouse 24 hours and then he would come home for 24 hours he was the one who started noticing that at night the house would drop to a temperature that was so cold he could see his breath he would not go into the basement after the sun went down because he said it felt like he was being watched and one night when my dad was in the firehouse my mom woke up because she could hear all the furniture being moved around downstairs so she immediately got my siblings and i called the police and at the time she was pregnant with my younger brother so she was still in full protective mommy mode the police came and found no one nothing was taken but everything was rearranged the furniture the photos on the wall the knick-knacks everything this is like horror movie level

1:42:00

yes imagine if you woke up sabrina and your gallery wall was just all rearranged i'd be gone oh i believe the like precision and the energy and the the strength to do that that's so scary yeah don't like that needless to say she was a little freaked out we could not afford to move at the time so we all just pretended that it didn't happen after my little brother was born the house started to feel too small six people one bathroom so my dad decided that he was going to add another bathroom he was looking at the layout of the house from the outside compared to the inside and realized we were missing a lot of space inside of the house with the intention of putting in a new bathroom he started to tear down a wall in my parents bedroom and based on the way of the house and the way it was built that's where the extra space should have been that's when my dad discovered a secret room someone had walled off a child's bedroom

1:43:00

oh he tore the wall down only just to discover the charred remains of a child's bed books toys everything there was even a window that had been sealed and siding had been put on the outside to cover it stop as soon as my dad discovered the room he and my mom had a long conversation about what to do the strange things happening and the odd feelings increased tenfold so we did what anyone would do we cleaned it out he resealed the wall and we put the house up for sale are there photos of this no amy send us photos

Revisiting stories

oh my gosh i need photos whatever was in that house haunted my dad's dreams for about two decades after we moved what it was only recently that he stopped having the night terrors that started when we moved into that house oh my gosh wow makes me wonder why the thing

1:44:00

like what happened recently for that to stop like is there another spirit like family or protector that's now interfering or did someone else move in that the spirit is now oh i was thinking the angry spirit just like reincarnated but yeah all right fast forward about 15 years to when i was in college it was my freshman year and i was having difficulty fitting into college life and making friends so i decided to join the rugby team i had no idea what rugby was like when i joined and being on the smaller side i had no idea how dangerous this sport could be i picked it up pretty quick and got really good at it and if you're not familiar with rugby it's like soccer and football combined no pads no helmets just a lot of aggression it's a great position i had yeah the position i had on the team was called the hooker and in the scrum which was the huddle the hooker is the smaller player that is in the middle and hooks the ball with their foot it's a fight for possession of the ball a lot of my

1:45:00

noses get broken in the scrum we were playing a particularly aggressive team one day and the players were all a lot bigger than the girls on my team we were in the scrum and it collapsed all of the girls fell on top of me and someone's elbow went right into the back of my neck breaking my neck oh my gosh i don't remember anything other than not being able to move they called an ambulance and i was rushed to the hospital by the time my parents made it to the hospital the diagnosis was that i would never be able to walk again or move my arms basically i would be paralyzed from the neck down i've chilled all over my body i remember laying in the hospital bed screaming i was 19 years old and my life was over i did not want to see anyone i did not want to talk to anyone i was just laying in the hospital bed with tears streaming down my eyes i couldn't even wipe away my own tears i heard the door open and i waited for the doctor to come into view but it wasn't the doctor it was a woman

1:46:00

who looked exactly like mrs santa oh my gosh she had a red dress and gray short curly hair she came over to my bed and looked down at me she kissed my forehead and whispered everything is going to be just and i immediately fell asleep i have chills in my skull like you know when like your whole skin just like everything oh my gosh when i woke up about 24 hours later my whole body was tingling the doctors did different tests scans and x-rays my neck was healed healed i slowly started to get all of the feeling back in my body and i made a complete recovery i asked about the nurse that looked like mrs claus and no one had a clue who i was talking about no one fitting that description worked there i'm now in my 30s and i'm an avid marathon runner i can't explain what happened

1:47:00

there was a football player who that exact same weekend had the exact same injury oh and he's still paralyzed oh my god i don't know why she came to visit me and not him but i am very grateful that she came i hope you have an incredible christmas baby [Laughter] i'm this is oh in complete shock right talk about a miracle talk about an amazing guardian i i believe this mrs claus looking entity being spirit angel beautiful angel is perhaps their guardian absolutely or like will be okay is it amy's guardian or is this just some like amazing spirit who wanders around and cures people like literally

1:48:00

does miracles like kisses people and cures them i her neck was broken she was paralyzed completely and he healed in 24 hours and also the fact that like when the kiss happened she immediately fell asleep into this like trance of like hyper healing i'm in oh i wow this is incredible i'm i know i'm jazzed if i were a superhero and had a superpower that would i would want that to be everything is cured you should try to start going up to people and kissing their foreheads do not be afraid stranger i'm just here because then i just put my hands on their shoulders and i like stare into their eyes for like a good 30 seconds and they're just like what is happening oh man oh gosh

1:49:00

yeah that is incredible what is amazing miraculous so i'm wow i'm i'm blown away blown away i mean we needed that after hearing about the burned child's bedroom that had been i almost forgot about that i almost forgot all about it right oh i do want but i wonder what happened there yeah that's so unsettling i feel like there's a podcast i can't remember what it was but there was i think it was a fictional podcast where there was a story of someone who was possessed it might have even been ghosts in the burbs ah i don't know there's so many podcasts anyway where there was like someone who was possessed living in like the basement and then they like boarded it up and i'm not telling it properly but there's something in my mind that i'm trying to pull out work out yeah

1:50:00

yeah but it's yeah reminiscent of whatever that was it's so eerie like whenever something's boarded up it's one thing if a wall is just boarded up and someone just decides that they don't want it but the fact that all of the yes there was a burnt child's bed and all of the toys and artifacts were still in there like it was like it does they were just trying to cover something up like they didn't put any effort into it clearing it or storing it or just which it just makes me think that there was some like darkness in that room specifically they boarded it up and in an effort to release itself it like combusted into flames on the bed and it tried to release itself ew oh my god yeah then they maybe they walled up the window after that happened like oh it's trying to come it's trying to escape back in like we have to keep it fully boarded i want to know the address of this house i need to know more i need to know who

1:51:00

lives there now we need a medium to go in there and and figure out what happened yeah to like feel oh my gosh feel the space and know the story so creepy so creepy but i also love it wow gives you a little kiss on the forehead this episode was uh this might be one of my favorite episodes ever of all time this one yeah this one was really good this was great so good thank you guys for sharing your stories with yes thank you if you have stories of any kind please email them to us at twogirls1ghostpodcast gmail.com and then get lost in the triangle
