7:00

call Calhoun who has worked there for close to 20 years was telling me a few chilling stories about the hotel I'll start with the least scary and work my way up to the most scary great Calhoun has had to work through multiple hurricane Seasons where when a hurricane hits and takes out the power grid the hotel runs on a generator that's only enough to keep minimal lights on and AC running and kitchen equipment running to make food a major hurricane hit the area and he signed on to stay at the hotel and help wherever needed he went down to the barely lit Stone room in the hotel basement and was stocking up on ingredients for the kitchen when he looked to his left and saw an older man lifting boxes from the ground up onto a shelf about 4T High Calhoun tried to speak to him and asked who he was and if he needed help with the boxes mm all of a sudden the man turned looked at Calhoun and suddenly vanished wow I hope I'm I don't have so work like that in my afterlife I know

8:00

the next story from Calhoun was when he was actually staying in one of the hotel rooms after a long hurricane recovery shift he was sitting on the bed reading various verses from the Bible when he heard the shower turn on from the bathroom he put the Bible down got up to see what had turned on the shower and turned the water off there was nothing or no one else in the hotel room so he was confused but just wrote it off and went back to reading a few minutes later again the shower knob is turned to full blast he gets up to do the same thing turn it off and go back to reading this time when he gets back to his bed the Bible has disappeared excuse me he starts looking all over the room and finds it perfectly placed underneath the bed he picks it up starts reading it again when an unknown Force aggressively pulls it out of his hands and throws it across the room oh my God this next story is from a different cooworker who

9:00

I will call Jamie Jamie was telling me how she grew up in the Lower Ninth Ward where she lived in a dilapitated shotgun house from a young age she would experience sleep paralysis lucid dreams and Shadow People one of the sleep paralysis experiences she told me absolutely Shook Me Jamie had one of her cousins over for a sleepover and they had a fun night and they went to sleep in the same bed together she fell asleep on her back but with her head head tilted to the right looking at her cousin so like that she woke up in the exact same position when she noticed her cousin was also awake but the cousin's expression was different her eyes were glowing red and her cousin had a wide grin no no this is so freaky Jamie said she reached over and asked her if she's okay when the cousin revealed a mouthful of sharp pointy teeth which she used to

10:00

bite and sink into Jam's arm Jamie jumped up from the bed and started running out of her room with her cousin who turned into a demon at this point and started chasing her Jamie was running around the house as fast as she could but the demon caught her grabbed her and was literally ripping her limb from limb feasting on her body oh Jamie said she sprung awake but could feel the pain of what had felt like a real experience and now I will end with the story to maybe lift some

Charlottesville Victorian

Spirits my fiance and I went to a wedding in Charlottesville this past fall he used to live there and we absolutely loved the area and we want to move back soon but we were walking around the streets of Charlottesville at night before going bar hopping When We Came Upon an old Victorian house for sale it was beautiful had a nice yard and my fiance says wow look at this house I want to buy this house to which I replied it looks haunted to very different instincts

11:00

about the house haunted is still beautiful not even 5 seconds later the street light that was above us went out I got a weird feeling and I looked back and I realized that it's the only street light that was out in the entire Long Street oh confirmation we go to the bars and we're walking back to our Airbnb around 1:00 a.m. when we come upon the same house the street light is the only light out until we both walk under it it goes on what in the world it's calling to them I think it was The house's way of saying yes I am haunted but it's not a bad haunting that has been my only real paranormal experience so far but I'm looking forward to Future hauntings good ones only please thanks for reading I can't wait to see what 2024 brings you lovely ladies you deserve all the best all my love autumn you didn't buy the haunted house maybe it's a sign that like when they do start looking to move that house will be available again and they buy it oh I just got chills

12:00

thinking about itez I don't know that'd be kind of fun we'll visit we'll come stay yeah invite us over we're inviting ourselves we promised to bring two of your moving boxes inside and then put our feet up and then just enjoy enjoy the hauntings and then regil you with haunting stories and make your house even more haunted yeah we'll bring the equipment we'll just set up the r pod and all that r two pieces of equipment that we have bring our cat balls and our rampt and hardly know how to use oh my gosh I like that I hate the dream I am glad it was a dream yeah we read a story recently where it was like a aunt babysitting her nephew and they both had nightmares of one another and I'm just curious in moments like that where you have such a vivid dream of someone you love and Trust turning on you like if that person's also having that dream but in the reverse it reminds me of my

13:00

cousin Lanie cuz I feel like she would have that dream about me because she's so scared of ghosts and doesn't listen to the podcast cuz she's scared yeah so I feel like she Associates paranormal Terror with me so if she did have a nightmare I probably would be the one grinning at her Fair wo that is so creepy though I'd have a hard time looking at my cousin after that if I experienced it I wonder if anyone's had any nightmares of you and I like being the scary people cuz people have so many hauntings related to our podcast but have you never heard of like Sabrina and K you tried to kill me in your in my dream oh I hope not sorry I kind of hope so okay I want to hunt all of you [ __ ] yeah I'm curious let us know if we're in your dreams I'll do my best to visit you in the astral plane everyone yeah my version of being in someone's dream is like when something happens they just are walking down the street and they turn and I'm just like there

14:00

against a brick wall just watching not saying anything just peing you really need to watch dream scenario dream scenario what's this we talked about it yesterday Nick Cage my brain a oh the Nick Cage one yes where he appears the history teacher that appears in all of people's Dreams yeah okay I will I picked two emails

Catching up with listeners

that are dog themed fun I need an Obe break from the scariness well we we got a little bit of both then we got a little bit of both this is from TY wait did I tell you I found tall where okay everyone tall is a listener like an OG listener who we saw in person at Orlando and we had like message with tall and we remembered T we had met tall at a live show and literally like was it New York it might have been but like we were at Universal and we just see this person run and turn and look at us and we immediately

15:00

recognized him and we went and we're all running to each other down like the downtown streets of Disney but that was years ago and we're like what's happened to tall and we truly couldn't find we like cuz we remembered tall's Instagram handle so we were like looking for it and we spent a really long time there was like one Show recently on tour we were backstage and we were trying so hard to find tall and we couldn't and we remembered we had a photo tagged with tall and we just couldn't find tall tall has a new Instagram and messaged us and I like flipped a table I was like tall you're alive we've been looking for you for you so the mystery of where tall is we found thank God you know what's funny is there's been a few people like especially when we were doing our campfire stories when it was live on spotify's app previously there were a few people that were super super active and then once they eliminated that platform once some of those people eliminated it took it out eliminated took it out terminated but a few of

16:00

those people kind of just who were super active in the chat and stuff were not active on other platforms and my mom actually called me and she was like I've been really worried about some of these people and so she actually did some online Internet stalking to find if they were okay and they are but she and she called me she was like I found him he's totally fine I think he just probably taking a break from social media but like it is one of those things where you know when we're used to seeing people engage and talk with stuff and we meet people and then all of a sudden it's silence I feel like you guys have to tell us if you're taking a break from we need to know we do cuz we worry you all need to share your locations with us and we need to be able to track you at all times seriously we really do we're your overbearing mothers tell me where you are okay this is called my backyard

A feral dog and healing

feral dog for Sabrina and this is a trigger warning for suicidal ideation hi Sabrina hi Karen this dog is from

17:00

Riverside California and was living feral for 2 years before being scooped up by animal control and then we have a photo of the poor little I like I like that it was just this dog I'm like are you talking about yourself like this dog woof woof they call me the big dog over in Riverside that's what I was picturing it says and a rescue got her she was with them for about a year but then they thought that she could use a quieter environment so they shipped her to My Little House in the Pacific Northwest a I named her I need help with this name calop c a l l i o p e but we call her C for short but what how do you say the other one C calop Cal calop C okay but C for short which I definitely know how to pronounce that okay so the backstory in September 2020 I bought a house for my beloved soulmate dog Stella and me but it was only a dream for for her not for myself so she could live out her senior

18:00

Hood sunning on a lawn so sweet sweet exactly the person who should have a dog yes agreed she had been a rescue who was going to be euthanized for being afraid of humans about a decade earlier and she'd been the most incredible emotional support perer teaching my heart how to love more than I thought that I could she died in that house in August 2021 she had cancer and she let me know clearly the day and the time for me to call for the home visit vet oh I'm disabled and I had no income from February of 2021 on and so although I eak things out of this house for a while after she died I had to move out last year and sell my house before I got foreclosed on or so I thought this is such a hot Market that 21 real estate agents called me in a single day to try to get my business it got under contract the first weekend then that buyer flanked out 2 weeks later so that she could go to Burning Man like what and then it just sat on the market ready

19:00

to go cute as can be and for a whole six months as I tried not to kill myself with Despair and I'm not kidding but also I had chronic suicidal ideation since the age of 12 so this was the biggest challenge yet to live through not something novel I was trying to rehome my two wonderful cats at the time as well because I thought that I'd be living in my car I was even considering living in the woods alone in a tent because it really did feel like there was no place for me on this earth oh and I would come across things all the time like audio or writing of other people saying that they themselves felt like life didn't matter even though they'd had all of these relationships and roles out in the world that I did not have and they thought that they might as well off themselves I also have to say I feel like this is one of the dangers of the internet and the algorithm because when I was in therapy I was like I'm just seeing more videos that are like triggering me and like making me spiral and go deeper and deeper into what I'm

20:00

reiterating your negative thoughts yeah yes cuz you watch the whole thing and then the internet's like this is for you I'm going to serve you even more I know I'd been disabled and unable to work since July of 2018 and as a person whose trauma coping strategy was always performing well and producing massive amounts of high quality work to become disabled felt like the one thing that I really had that was helping me through my entire life was taken away from me oh my gosh I've had a freakish amount of bad things happen to me in my life and it felt dumb and feudal to stick around for more suffering by last fall I thought it was objectively and subjectively absurd to choose to keep on living and I just kept doing it anyway and in January this year I had to move back into my house since all of my funds were officially kaput the Foreclosure was going to begin in March it's intense being disabled because there are no extra jobs that I can pick up no hope for working harder in the future and making any more money I'm so estranged from my abusive family so there's no

21:00

backup either other than the donations that I received from my friends and I didn't have any local friends so I decided to move across the country here right before the pandemic and it really felt like the end of the road my SSDI disability hearing was in February and it usually takes two to three more months for them to reach a decision and then several more months for funds to begin if you're approved all fall and winter I'd kept having these intrusive images of where I should kill myself like in my attic or in my crawl space but right after I moved back in I started having these Cycles days of emotional breakdowns followed by about six hours of incredible insight and changes into my perspective arriving fully formed in my body in my mind in my spirit I've been to therapy over 30 years and nothing like this has ever happened before wow these Revelations would happen every couple of weeks and I wrote them all down and I don't think they'd come across is groundbreaking to anyone who hasn't lived in my head for

22:00

the last 44 years but inside they had completely changed me oh on top of that I started being given all of these things that I desperately wanted and felt like I had no way of getting on my own for example I was terribly lonely I complained to someone able-bodied about it and they said something really ableist and unrealistic now your friends can just all visit you it hurt and I was angry having realized in one of my epiphanies that anger is one of my best motiv ators for writing so I wrote a rant to share with my disability Group I'm not Disneyland I said people aren't going to go out of their way to visit me and I certainly can't make friends like that the anger made me feel on fire with eloquence and I was proud of what I had written yeah well a couple hours later a writing coach that I used for 1 hour 2 years ago emailed me she said that she had a client with a similar background as mine and she just moved to my town and she didn't know anyone else the coach asked if she could send the woman to me and I agreed and this woman came

23:00

to my house for dinner before we'd ever spoken and it was an immediate and easy friendship I don't even know how or why that writing coach remembered me much less where I lived so I had my SSDI hearing the judge ruled in my hearing this almost never happens telling me directly that he'd approved my SSDI and I reached out to the congressman and his office was able to get me funds soon enough that I could keep my house wow if I hadn't bought this house for Stella I would have with complete certainty been homeless most of the last two years now not only could I keep my cats but I could get another dog too so I desperately wanted another dog I'd actually started looking last April 2022 under the Perpetual hope of receiving disability funds a long story in and of itself and I even adopted one briefly and it was all wrong I got mangled then infected I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I returned that dog and I started looking again in April of 2023 and and I saw cie so I emailed about her

24:00

but I didn't hear back most of the dogs I emailed about I wouldn't hear back about I understood because my house is not going to be great for most dogs I can't walk much or reliably I can't take them on Hikes or to the beach or any of that and they won't have a family or children or many visitors it's just me and the two cats and so they need to be cool with a quiet slow uneventful household I was looking for a very specific type of dog a shy and scared dog because I usually know how to work with that energy in May I had a virtual meet and greet with a dog who sounded right and then I met with her and she was clearly a dog anyone could have a family dog so I cried myself to sleep wondering if I should just get any old dog I consoled myself and I told myself that I have to wait until the universe absolutely shoves one in my path I asked my dear departed Stella to please send me a dog who I would be a good fit for if it was right the next morning I woke up to a text from a rescue organization asking if I was still available because

25:00

they thought catly would be perfect for me I love just like animal spirit like gosh I just love I know when you find your spirit animal your soul animal too yeah and it turned out that she had been picked up in Riverside in April 2022 the same month I started looking for a dog after Stella's death she had been with a foster for over a year and they hadn't had much progress with her she let someone call her her and then she was timid but she wouldn't let them touch her and she bit the person who put the leash on her they sent me a video of her in the house and I recognized her body language of fear and wanting to not be seen so I agreed to take her once she got here she seemed a lot more feral than the rescue had described her to be and although I'm resourceful and love learning Etc I had plenty of asking myself what the [ __ ] did I just do but then again I am almost almost totally housebound by my disability so it's kind of like I have all the time in

26:00

the world to work with her I also feel so defensive of her and her right to be wild her right to not be a pet dog and I kept saying to people if she wants to be the witch who lives in the Hut in my backyard that's okay I love that she wrote that this is why she titled it like for Sabrina this email because she knew you would like that well I did so I literally like fist bumped in the air yeah my Jersey Shore came out it's not literally okay because I want to be able to get her health care but other than that she's free to not like me I'm doing training with her because I want her to feel comfortable and confident even when I'm around but it's definitely more of a stewardship Vibe also Sabrina I am that [ __ ] who told you in one of the recent campfire stories that I'm on the other side side of what you're doing and I'm living in the future of the trauma work that

27:00

you're doing that's paying off I felt like a total [ __ ] the way it came out oh my gosh wait no I remember this this was like well you can speak for yourself I felt hope in in that conversation yeah with you I agree I don't believe any two paths are the same and I don't know what the future will hold for you obviously so I didn't intend to sound condescending rather I was shocked after Decades of therapy and lots of trauma programs in the past few years the result was not what I expected I've never been a universe person or I've felt like there's any universal intervention other than near-death experience when I was 26 that I was angry to be alive after in fact I was raised in an Eastern religious cult so after I got out I was an atheist until Stella died and I could feel her loving presence so big around me but whatever the [ __ ] I did this finding myself under all the trauma this noticing and listening to and believing myself it's paying off I'm in tune with myself and

28:00

also it seems like the universe likes it I have no idea how your trauma work will pay off over all of these years but I'm so proud of you for doing it and for sharing about it it's so important and you are such a beautiful spirit I know it's helping others to hear about I hope you can forgive me for the asinine way I worded my bad ideas of encouragement before thank you both so much for your work you're big hearts and thank you for asking Sabrina Ty she her oh Ty I want to give you a big hug yes and then we

Emotional reflections

got we got a picture of the dog oh so sweet I just want to give Tai the biggest hug like sending ghost hugs actually you know what sending ghost hugs to everyone because you never know what people are going through and as you were reading what Ty was going through and the mental turmoil that she was experiencing like yeah like I I could

29:00

relate to that and I I'm really actually curious to go back and listen to a year ago podcast because I was in the darkest place I think I've ever been in and I don't even remember it like like I I remember it as like a memory but I don't the way I felt like it was I held it in my body it was a physical it was a mental emotional feeling that I felt very hopeless and helpless and there were times where I was like I don't understand why would anyone choose to continue to live this life it's so painful and so hard and right and now where I am in my life I'm like it's so different those thoughts feel so foreign to me but all that to say that I'm so glad Tai is still here and with us and that if you are experiencing anything like this know that you're not alone and there are people and resources and like Ty said that everyone's journey is very different I went to a trauma treatment that ended up like truly saving my life

30:00

but some people that doesn't work for there are other avenues well it's also really interesting that Tai was saying you know after Decades of going to therapy and feeling really low and having Still Moments of feeling happy that there were just like with a move it also makes me wonder about like the astrocartography part of TI's chart because it sounds like after she moved and she was in a new area in Southern California that all of a sudden the hope of her understanding herself and why she's feeling a certain way and just all of these things just started to click and it was like the universe was kind of sending her all these downloads and Revelations and it was just like she was in the perfect setting for her to actually like digest it and understand it and look at where it brought her like she's right living an amazing dog filled animal filled life oh it is just so interesting how like there are energies and times in our life where we feel

31:00

really blocked and then something so small like being in a different location can change that unlocks it yeah yeah you know one thing that used to really really piss me off is please tell us when like and this is I understand and I've probably said it but like when someone's feeling really really shitty and really really low and another person says to them don't worry things will get better or like everything happens for a reason like not an anger driven person or an angry person like anger is one of those emotions that like I rarely tap into or need to tap into but in those moments violence is the first thing that comes into my mind and I go I want to punch you I know it's hard because it's like most people don't know what to say back to someone who's experiencing that and those are just some of the phrases that are cataloged in everyone's mind of how to con how to console someone 101 and they're like oh [ __ ] someone just told me something let me just say this

32:00

but I'm sure they probably were like I wish I could have been there for that person in a much better way but like people are also struggling we're all trying to do our best for the most part we're all trying to do our best unless you're like a sociopath but one thing that really not necessarily worked for me but was really healing for me was painting and like finger painting so I would like literally just like I got these like canvases from Amazon and there was like a box of like 10 of them they were different sizes and I would just like put blops of paint on it and I would just with my hands it was so cathartic and it felt so nice and like it was like a weird physical release I just loved it art therapy yeah art therapy worked like bad art therapy I don't think art therapy is like I mean it's it's meant to be whatever you want it to be however you want to feel it in that moment can I tell you a secret that I've never told told anyone yeah there was a moment where I was doing this that

33:00

I was like I really want to put my face in the paint and go like this and I did it did you I was just about to say did you do it cuz I feel like there's no way in hell I wouldn't have done it just out of the Curiosity who's going to see you doing it right it was like nose and forehead in it and I just went like this and it kind of felt great and then I just went and took a shower it's kind of like a facial they basically paint your face true so what's the difference other than needing to wash the toxic paint off of your skin sooner just don't put it in your mouth oh my gosh you're reminding me of when I had a very last minute Halloween costume in college and I didn't know what I would be but suddenly I had all of the materials to be Ursula except I didn't have body paint so I used actual acrylic paint painted my whole body purple and I lasted 3 hours before my whole skin was burning and I had to go home you know everyone probably loved that costume and it was a fun memory I think I looked wild I don't think you know it was memorable we live

34:00

and we learn and sometimes we make mistakes and maybe that was exactly when all of my health problems started it all goes back to the acrylic paint you painted your body with people used to live in homes and still do live in homes with lead paint so check your lead levels I don't know how you do that I really should have checked mine my house is lead paint era oh I just assumed people did the people before me I hope they did maybe I'll go get a little kit if you start to lose your mind we know what's happening well that's been happening for years that's true this podcast is just the chronicles of two women going mad oh my gosh this

Childhood and adult ghosts

is a great segue because this next email is called paranormal or hallucination have we all lost our minds this is from our listener Taylor hello girls I am really hoping my mom won't hear this email LOL I'm Taylor pronouns she her doesn't

35:00

matter much to me so don't worry about it I'm also British hopefully it makes sense to you I'm only 16 but I have had many situations which I personally believe are paranormal there are lots of recent experiences but I think I should first talk about my childhood my mother tells me often about when I was younger the most popular stories however come from when I was around 5 years old we live next to a graveyard and that must have meant area was a popular ghost hangout site because the first thing that happened there was that these two boys would appear in my bedroom most nights to play games oh my gosh most nights yeah just hanging out with the ghost boys actually my mom told me that I called them the game boys and they were about 16 years old it never seemed like a bad presence until my mother heard me screaming one night and came to my room to find my blanket wrapped and tied tightly around my head almost

36:00

suffocating me oh my God this really is like having older brothers huh they try to kill you in your sleep yeah the next story I was told was that my great-grandfather would also appear in my bedroom and read to me or just talk to me I was able to recognize his name I could describe him perfectly and point him out in books of photos without any labels of who he was my mom had never talked about him to me and I couldn't have seen him before because there weren't any photos of him on display and he died when my mom was nine I personally don't remember anything else and I don't dare ask my mother for a number of reasons I feel like there's some mom drums that I want to know I know Mom who are you what did you do so now I'll move on to something that happened a few years ago like 5 years ago my brother who was only 1 or 2 years old managed to point to a photo of my recently deceased great-grandfather he pointed to the picture and said I know

37:00

him although he never met him my mom's face went pale and I teared up my mom asked how do you know him and my brother replied with he was in my bed last night he told me to tell Grandad and then he waved goodbye we all felt sick waa my mom didn't tell my granddad until recently and I'm hoping that my great Granddad didn't have to wait 5 years to finally rest only a few years ago right before covid I was had and remained to be in a deep depression Taylor I'm sending you love what if Taylor it will get better everything happens for a reason everything happens for a reason Taylor oh my God it was also around that time that we moved into our first owned house and my bedroom was the attic but it was amazing it had so much privacy there unfortunately was no heating so it was freezing but that's good to me because heat makes me sick but addicts are scary and at first all that happened

38:00

was wasps about every day for 3 weeks there was one single wasp in my room I would Panic open the window and it would leave immediately I'm not scared of any wasps or any bugs unless they're green specific why just the green why the green ones like praying mantis green caterpillar green or are you talking about those those really shiny like Neon Japanese beetle Green Oh the like big ones yeah cuz those can be scary and they're so loud mhm so this is weird by itself and my mother thinks that this is the start of what she calls my hallucinations I started to see a black mass out of the corner of my eye whenever I dropped my guard I have bad eyesight so I always assumed it was just my eyesight going blurry my parents never got along so they mostly live separate during this time my dad had just moved into a new home it was old and needed a lot of work I always imagined it would be haunted by a child or an old person it was great

39:00

until we had to move in and this is when Co hit so a few weeks into lockdown I woke up during the night I don't know what time it was but it was still very dark outside and I couldn't move at all except my head I could look over at the ground and all of a sudden there it was that same dark MK that I had been seeing out of the corner of my eye except this time I could see it clearly it had no legs and very very long arms with claws it had no face but I somehow knew it was looking at me it slowly crawled over and then up my bed it climbed on top of me and I could feel it crushing my chest and my throat but any part of it that touched me would disappear after around 20 minutes it was completely gone and I fell back to sleep when I woke up I could remember it so vividly that I can still remember it now even after having suffered a head injury I never had sleep

40:00

paralysis before or after this after that I'm freaked out about the fact that every time it touched her that part disappeared cuz it's like is it crawling into her I know trying to wear her as a suit also I wonder if it was green after that it disappeared completely oh maybe you're right it did go inside of Taylor yes but the House suddenly became more active I would hear a woman crying I would hear my name being called by a voice I didn't recognize a child was singing asking me for help opening doors for them finally when we got to go home to my mom's after lockdown I was so relieved to be with all my stuff again but that same day my dad took off the piece of wood blocking the crawl space in the wall it was a dark small area that was used for storing paint and stuff like that because the floor in there was not safe to step on or put anything on as soon as it was open my started appearing in my bedroom they would scratch and chew and

41:00

play they stole my food I saw and heard them but they never were any mouse droppings scratch marks or chew marks and nobody else saw them that's very interesting this went on for the entirety of the time that I lived there and then halfway through that time Jeremy appeared so a week before Jeremy appeared I kept seeing movement in the crawl space I would have panic attacks and text my boyfriend saying I'm sure I was going to get murdered then one night when this was happening I got a knife and shouted who the hell are you and slowly he crawled out crawled he had to crouch because my ceiling was very short and I had to crouch I'm 5'1 this thing was seven plus feet tall oh God are we sure Jeremy's not the same thing that crawled onto her and into her and then also I'm like she was being Str jangled by the boys in the cemetery like is this something that's followed her yeah

42:00

Jeremy wore a suit a full black suit with black gloves and the creepiest part was that it had a giant rat's head at first I called it an it and then he then the ratman and then something finally inside me told me to name it Jeremy so that's what I did it hardly ever gave off a bad Vibe sometimes it would just Crouch there and I'd be able to ignore it sometimes it would follow me to school and help me cheat or it would lay down in my bed beside me or pet me or tickle my feet no joke he tickled my feet I feel like you are his pet like this creature he got confused he was like oh I've always wanted a pet human this one's perfect pet your cute little head yeah it never followed me on holiday or to my dad dad's house but it did follow me when I moved into the house I live in now and he got angry

43:00

that I moved for a while he would growl at me grab me scratch me or throw stuff at me once again nobody else saw it that entire time when I finally told my mom about everything she said I must have been hallucinating she believes in ghosts and whatever but nobody else had had experiences so she didn't know what to do also in the newer house there is another ghost I don't know what it is or why it's here but it makes me incredible uncomfortable and once it threw a painting at me okay there's some violence this like yeah this is the worst luck with the Paranormal I ever did here in a sequence of events all of the different encounters me ever did once here I know there's so much horror happening there really is I told my mom about the spirit throwing the painting at me and she thinks it just fell but it was on the opposite side of the room and was launched directly at me so you tell me how that just fell oh and those mice they followed me too but this time in the garden I was

44:00

pointing at them like look Mom they're there but she couldn't see what I could see a third thing that I've seen in the newer house is the man on the roof we live directly outside in a Bandon building that roof is not safe so if someone went up there they would most likely Fall Down and there's Security in the building so if someone tried to get up there an alarm would go off however I saw someone sitting on the roof in the darkness of the night a few weeks later it was in the parking lot another week or so later I see it almost in our garden I haven't seen it since then but that was a couple weeks ago so maybe I'll see it again soon just outside of our garden a fourth thing did not actually include me but at around 4:00 a.m. my mom and dad were watching TV together when suddenly the dog started barking and growling at the wall the dog looked up almost 7 ft High remember how tall Jeremy was sh wow this is not great this is like collecting Pokemon cards you just always

45:00

have them doesn't matter where you go they're all following you so many and there's like more that it just continues Taylor is experiencing so much jeez so another thing that's happened is an overwhelming feeling of danger in my mother's room my brother's room and the hallway between the two all of which are under the attic nobody has been up there but I swear I've heard footsteps banging and scratching from up there like something is trying to escape my dad was going to get the house blessed none of us are religious but now he's convinced that something is there and maybe it would help me even if they are hallucinations so I know it's extremely long already but I have three stories so you can cut them out if you want no no no Taylor we're reading them this one makes me incredibly uncomfortable to write or even think about more so than everything else my gosh my entire life I've been terrified of reflective surfaces to the point where I keep my TV covered when I'm not using it I don't know why one time I was having a panic attack in my room because my window was

46:00

open I was desperately trying to get it closed but I kept freezing up when I finally closed the window I accidentally looked out and saw what I can only describe as a s Walker I closed the curtain and I cried until I fell asleep I'm extremely triggered by them now and I'm shaking while writing this because my window is open but it's way too hot to close it hearing the name S Walker makes me gag and usually triggers activ which is another reason my mom and now I'm starting to believe it's just hallucinations Second Story my great grandmother passed away this year and it was greatly devastating for my entire family yeah my uncle was really really devastated he suddenly believed God was a woman prayed to his mom in a different language and became obsessed with his mother's death he had a little bit of a mental breakdown and was the one to hold her while she passed after taking care of her for months while she was fighting cancer it hit him so hard I can't even imagine what that what he's going through after the funeral my mom came

47:00

home and could immediately smell her perfume and she thinks it was her saying goodbye I was given a marble egg to

Reflective surfaces and goodbye

remember her bye and as soon as it was in my room Jeremy and the other ghosts disappeared I should mention that my nana great grandma was a very very strong and religious woman I believe she removed them from me and has saved me my mom had sleep paralysis she woke up and couldn't move at all except for her head exactly like me but this time she saw my Nana in the doorway but she had this feeling that it was not my nana and she was scared the thing soon moved towards her slowly turning into a black mist before disappearing as my brother woke my mom up I think if that mist had gotten to her like it did to me she would have seen the same things that I had seen that's really interesting that like the Mist is triggering all of the hallucinations and those who've been touched by the Mist see the things would she have seen the same thing is also the question or is

48:00

there just something in the messaging or I don't know are you disturbed by mice or do you have a fear of mice or is there some symbolism in the mice like why mice yeah I don't know I mean mice and rats and wasps and things like that just to me for some reason I'm sure I could find why like there's probably something that planted this in my mind but do give me like a symbolism of like darkness and the things that crawl in the darkness you know yeah last story on a better note my old pet cat haunts my bedroom he appears whenever I'm stressed panicked or in a depressive episode he lays on my legs and purs before disappearing and I can physically feel the weight of him disappear a it always makes me feel better I miss him so much he was basically my baby and I'm glad he's still here so there's a lot of evidence to say that all of these are just hallucinations but there's also a lot L to say it's paranormal like my hearing the voices of my friends for seconds or seeing my friends in places

49:00

that they aren't I've been examined for schizophrenia because of all the things I've heard I'm already diagnosed with autism and ADHD along with obsessive disorder and paranoia so I don't know I'll leave it up to you to decide what you believe it is thanks for reading it's been great to get this off my chest my head is starting to hurt which usually means Jeremy is nearby but I can't see or hear him so I don't know I hope you read this on one of your episodes me and my ghost cat will see you on the other side Taylor well the hallucination thing is really interesting and I feel like it definitely is Paranormal because it's also reminding me of remember when I lived in that Beacon Hill apartment and while I was living there I kept seeing these giant spiders yes oh and it would be like I wouldn't even have to be in the apartment oh I just got like chill it was just like the time period of living there no matter where I was I would wake up in the middle of the night and there would be a giant spider on my wall or descend and coming for me and I would be awake and screaming bloody murder hate it and it's just never

50:00

happened since so weird just based on how much Taylor and her family have experienced like I am inclined to think paranormal right because it's not just Taylor either like right everyone around her is experiencing the Paranormal as well and it is interesting like her family almost seems to be Believers but they believe when they've also seen the same things M which I'm sure it's like a weird it's almost okay great they believe in the Paranormal but it's also isolating in the sense that like well those must be hallucinations I do think right it's great that Taylor is getting examined for everything and I hope everything's okay and it sounds like Nana is protecting you from the darker things yes and that your ghost cat is there and you have so many good spirits on the other side waiting for you relatives and pets and all of this so even though know you're encountering some of these scarier entities and creatures that are seem to

51:00

follow you from place to place you've got a whole arsenal of Parental figures and yeah whatnot on the other side and whatever it is it's real for you you're experiencing it so that is your reality and we're sorry we hope that nothing I just hate the way that like it crawled out of the same space as the mice like it was almost like sending the as a test for a little bit it's like in stranger things where oh yeah there's the the rats that go out and then the like the Globs uh just all the weirdness if you follow the mice what would happen I don't know some Coraline stuff do the mice follow you or do you yeah true don't do that actually it was a hypothetical question or like an Alice and Wonderland situation I don't know yeah dang my gosh so many experiences I can't even I'm just is like Blown Away by how much is happening to Taylor's Point like it's not just happening in one place and then they move and then

52:00
