The cheese lady

lady that's all I needed to hear I know I love it A+

4:00

best email best hey Karen and Sabrina my name is Courtney my husband and I both started listening to your podcast a few months ago and are obsessed he has been begging me to send you encounters since we started so here are my slightly creepy but more wholesome encounters I probably should have read this one last but you know whatever I do I do what I want yeah cuz it's less creepy yeah that's okay I feel like creepy kid does not mean creepy thing happening to the kid it just means you experience the paranormal in some way as a child that may have startled you or your loved ones yeah I mean Kids encountering ghosts and talking to ghost is creepy mhm okay so this one I do not personally remember but my entire family does I grew up in southeast Michigan and my family lived in a bungalow style home at the time my parents room was upstairs and this was my father's childhood home that he and my mom bought from his parents when they got married when I was around 2 to 3 years years old they would often find me

5:00

sitting upstairs on the floor babbling and talking to something this progressed into me asking for slices of cheese and walking away for them to find me upstairs feeding cheese to the air it's us it's us as ghosts if I had a request and I had been dead for a long time and not able to eat something I'd be like jeez do you have any extra sharp cheddar in your fridge slices of American cheese oh give me some bueron and just sprit it on cracker better yet just give it to me on a spoon spoon feed me cheese baby yeah when they asked what I was doing again two to three years old I would say feeding the cheese lady they often brushed this off thinking I had an imaginary friend one day we were looking it feels so innocent like it seems like something a child would make up the cheese lady lady you know when you're

6:00

like oh let's make a superhero and they choose the cheese lady it feels like a kid a kid's imagination it does one day we were looking through old family photo albums when we came across a picture to which I shout that's the cheese lady the cheese lady turns out to be my great grandmother on my father's side who lived with my dad's family and lived upstairs until she passed away my dad remembers that she would love cheese and crackers and was often found sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night for a Cheesy snack safe to say that the love of cheese comes from her and it's a running joke in my family that's beautiful isn't it so cute it was her really benign way too to give them a sign where it was like they'll know I'm known for my love of cheese I'll just do this they'll figure it out one day or she just freaking loved cheese I also love that she was known for sneaking down to get cheese but now she's like I'm too old I'm on the other side I'm going to get my cheese from this toddler

7:00

instead yeah the child can sneak up to me bring me the cheese the fact that she was feeding the cheese into air like I so good which it's like I want to know the motion too because I want to know if the grandmother was like bending down and holding the cheese or if she was just kind of sitting there and being like ah now put the cheese in Grammy's mouth it's a game like do you want to play a game how many pieces of cheese can you get and do you think you can make all of them go into my mouth watch them disappear fast forward to age 15 I was redoing my room painting art the whole n yards I had just finished painting my once orange room to a more calming purple color I went to bed for the night like normal but I woke up around 3:00 a.m. and I was on my side when I opened my eyes I saw what appeared to be two

8:00

legs standing next to my bedside they were wearing dress pants and just standing there I was frightened and did not look up and while I was frightened because um hello something next to my bed at 3:00 a.m. I was not really fearful and I closed my eyes and went back to sleep the next night I woke up around the same time to again see the outline but this time of a shorter adult with short hair in dress pants and a shirt walking around the room looking at different things such as the new artwork and all of the things that I had put up in my room I had put the word believe I painted on a wall and I closed my eyes and went back to sleep I told my two friends about this which one of them then said it's Herman just naming my ghost I feel like that's how so many ghosts get their names it's always just someone random in the family or someone not related to the family at all just shouting out one name and then it just sticks no one ever changes Sven right the origin of Sven someone it came up

9:00

with it a year passed and I did not see anything else so after that year I went to go see a psychic medium Julia Mary who I highly recommend for anyone who lives in southeast Michigan I went because my mother had passed away 2 years prior when I was 14 years old and I was seeking closure and trying to connect with her and I absolutely did not even thinking about the experience I had in my bedroom the year prior at the end of the session the medium stated that Herman was actually my mom and she was just checking out what I had decided to do with my room since her and I were supposed to redo it together before she passed away that's so sweet there were so many other things said in this session that validated that this medium was legit and it did give me closure but the fact that Herman was just something said between me and my two best friends made it even more validating oh I wonder if that means that like the medium said Herman without without her saying anything she like oh is there a Herman

10:00

in your house well that's actually your mom wow thank you for listening patiently waiting to see you both and my mom on the other side someday Courtney wow Courtney you have really beautiful encounters with the other side so beautiful from relatives just coming in and checking in on you or communicating with you and just very harmless and sweet ways just still connecting with you I love that the great grandma was still asking for cheese like I know because I doubt that she was able to eat it but but like I I hope she was tasting it could she maybe where did it go if she wasn't eating it where did it go well they found her like holding the slices of cheese in the air so like I don't know that she was fully consuming it in my mind it was a repeated action like I guess we were only told of one time but I'm wondering how many times it happened that she wasn't caught grandma just has like a stack of cheese in the

11:00

walls yeah someone's renovating in the future when the house is sold and they're like What's this pile this mountain of cheese of moldy cheese Grandma's stash I love it so much for the love of cheese I love that you know what I decided recently Karen what [ __ ] it I'm G to eat cheese when have you not eaten cheese you always say you shouldn't eat cheese and then you still eat cheese okay but to be fair I like have limited myself and like usually when I go out to a restaurant I don't buy cheese or like things with cheese and lately I've just decided life's too well not Life's too short but more of like I don't care if it hurts it tastes good the enjoyment that you get from eating the cheese and the flavor of it outweighs the feeling of ill afterwards sometimes you got to weigh it yeah I

12:00

understand that yep I support you in this thank you eat all the cheese you want okay this story is called that one

The babysitting incident

time the kid I Babys at was possessed by a demon sick and it's scary hey ghoul sisters my name's Val I'm a huge fan and found your podcast recently and I'm binging it at work all day every day the encounters episodes are my favorite and I have a few spoopy spook spook stories but this one still me the chili Willies spooky spook spook chili Willies I'm down for this this is the chili Willy episode oh you know what they should sell for instead of like chili dogs they should call it chili Willies they should is that why we say Chilly Willy is it cuz like never mind child themed episode okay let us begin it was a dark and dreary rainy day and my mother called me and asked me to help out a friend of

13:00

hers from church the friends babysitter canceled on her and me being in my first year being a hairdresser and me being broke as hell I was like sure thing I vaguely knew these kids I'd see them around the church but never had much interaction with them I did know and was warned that they were struggling with their oldest it seemed like behavioral issues were stemming from a learning disorder to me and there were four boys in total let's call the oldest one John and then Chase is the middle and the two youngest twins Hunter and Mark names have all been changed because I want to respect the privacy of these kiddos I went over there and I came bearing gifts of pizza and the newest Lego Movie and I was a mega hit I was going to say best babysitter ever yeah after Pizza we went into the yard to play on the trampoline I feel like that would make them throw up right after pizza maybe not kids are sturdy yeah sturdy while playing I saw John lean over to the Twins and whisper something that I couldn't hear and the twins responded with no stop I don't

14:00

want to hurt her oh my God I immediately clued in and I said what don't you want to do Mark what is John asking you to do Hunter and both immediately shook their heads and said nothing I played it off as a joke like they were just playing a cute prank but I still couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off the next incident that night started when I heard Jon say to the twins they're going to be mad that you don't listen I immediately said who and and why I think you guys are doing great because they were doing great they were doing pretty good getting along and having a good time I don't know who the they John was referring to was but at the time I just thought that he was talking about his parents because of the few moments that I had to correct them I brought them inside and we watched The Lego Movie and I let them stay up 15 minutes past bedtime because I'm a baddy like that got to bend the rules and be the cool babysitter I started to put everyone to bed and tuck them in tight and turned on

15:00

the twins baby monitor the setup is important here so let me explain there were two bedrooms up there and then in between was a small playroom with a large comfy chair before I left because the family is really religious I said oh we forgot our nightly prayers and the boys got quiet and John said we don't say prayers up here oh my gosh I thought oh maybe they just do them downstairs all together before bedtime and I said it's okay if it's different tonight we can say our prayers one time up here and John didn't say anything but he looked pissed we all kneeled around the twins bunk beds and said our prayers during the prayer I heard John growl literally growl that is when I was like yeah the rumors are true about you bud John John but still I just thought that he was being a really weird kid let's find out how freaking wrong I was shall we I went downstairs and I chilled on the couch because I couldn't find out

16:00

how the TV remote and setup worked so I just started binging social media and that is when I heard some noise upstairs on the baby monitor it was hard to decipher but it sounded like deep talking I quickly walked upstairs thinking that these little effers were out of bed and playing when they shouldn't be and once I was upstairs I realized it was chase the one that shares a room with the creepy prayer growling John he said he didn't feel good and that John was doing it again oh my God I hate I know I asked what is John doing and Chase being so young just Shrugged and went and laid on the comfy chair in the in between rooms I said hang Tay I'll get you some water on my way upstairs my heart started beating really rapidly and I felt really uneasy and I realized that I was flipping scared at this point I didn't really know why but y'all listen to your bodies when I got upstairs with the water Chase was fast asleep on the comfy chair and I heard rustling in the the room that John was sleeping in I

17:00

opened the door and I saw that Jon was rolling around on his bed back and forth I thought maybe he was having a bad dream so I went over to wake him up y'all grab your hinies because as soon as I got to Jon's bed he went Stark still and put all of his weight on his neck he was ramrod straight with his arms held tight beside his body and let me tell you I did not hesitate to run out of that room did I think about the poor children no because John was doing that weird thing again I stopped in the living room to pick up my phone and like any 21-year-old in a creepy situation I called my dad with shaking hands I pressed dial and I stood there shaking in my boots I didn't know if he was having a night tear or what but I was going to go check then I heard it for the first time something in the monitor that chilled me to my very bones oh no oh no and I'm chunky so it takes a while for the cold to hit me

18:00

I heard growling demon like growling coming from the baby monitor downstairs the baby monitor that was in the twins room I could still hear John upstairs rolling in his room my dad picked up his phone and at this point I whispered something is wrong with John and I told my dad everything up until this point all while Jon is still growling and murmuring things into the baby monitor I was wigging out my dad was out of town and couldn't get to me and he said said let's just say a prayer and the growling got worse and then it turned into cold laughter no no no no no no no no no no no no my dad told me to call my boyfriend and have him come to my house so I called my then boyfriend now husband frantically telling him to come here that the worst thing has happened in the monitor whatever John was possessed by started speaking what I can only assume is Latin and it said my name and then it said kid kill kill Val

19:00

Kill so loud that my husband heard and he said don't hang up this phone I'm coming holy [ __ ] I know isn't this horrifying at this point I just stood by the back door away from the monitor that kept clicking on and off with this weird noise waiting for my husband to get there bless his soul he drove so fast I let him in and pretty much hid behind him like a scaredy-cat and then when we reached the living room with the monitor we heard growling and get out get out get out bless the other children because they slept through all of it my husband and I just sat on the couch until the growling died off but I still felt icky and so did my husband we felt like we were being watched finally the parents came home from their date and said the usual how are the kids ma'am your child is possessed by a demon I did not say that however I did say John did this really

20:00

weird thing in his sleep and she said the audacious woman said oh the growling and the Laughing thing what I sh you not this woman knew something was wrong with her child and she let someone else come and watch him without telling them that there was a demon inside of him honey no wonder your other babysit are canceled my husband and I literally yeed ourselves out of that house and I've never been back I still get spooked when I drive past the house and what happened to John you ask well he told his siblings to jump out of the upstairs window which the twins did and they broke their arms but they're okay thank God he can't step foot in a church without having fits of anger to the point where they stopped taking him to church he chased his mother around the house with a knife threatened multiple women's lives including his mother his teacher oh yeah and me and whatever was possessing him had it out for women my father offered the assistance from the church to do doing exorcism Because he believes that it was a possession of

21:00

some sort too they denied any help and now John is in a mental institution all joking aside my heart really does go out to John and his family because they did suffer and they still suffer I'll never forget this experience I also never Babys sat alone again thanks for reading my story I really appreciate your podcast and all the fun spooky Vibes I tell anyone and everyone that they should listen see you on the other side much love Val holy [ __ ] yeah I've talked about something was wrong the podcast before like a lot which is hosted by Tiffany Reese there should be a something was wrong paranormal Edition and this story needs to be featured because holy [ __ ] like first of all I am really glad Val even knows what happened to John and the rest of the family because I am very concerned you know hearing that this poor child is inflicted by whatever it may be and I know there is like a lot of before you go to a demon you know it does sound

22:00

like it is something dark but before that there's like a lot of mental health stuff that you have to go through to check out yeah and medical stuff too different seizures and stuff could look like that you know and the corn toring but the poor twins jumping out the window because he told them to and breaking their arms and like chasing his mom around with a knife my God if that was just one night babysitting that one night is what Val experienced in one evening living with that I mean I can't even imagine I know it's like he has all of these impulsive thoughts and he acts on them which most people would be scared by those thoughts and children get corrected by them and the correction or the fear of being in trouble is enough to kind of like stop you from it and it is sad that it didn't and that it doesn't seem like he did get as much help as he probably needed from the gecko go I think I told you this but

23:00

this girl who's a teacher and I think at the time she was teaching kindergarten who were five and it was right after the pandemic so this is like these kids had spent a year and a half in isolation instead of like going to preschool or prek and learning how to socialize with other children they now are in kindergarten without that and she caught a group of kids at recess pinning down another child and trying to sacrifice him to Satan yes I remember this which I just I'm curious what they watched on TV right cuz really only one child needs to actually know like oh we're sacrificing him to Satan the rest of the kids don't need to know what that means because kids are mostly a yes and species they're just great improv yeah they really are they're like cool this is what we're doing all right I'll take on my roll around the circle hold hands close my eyes eyes say a bunch of gibberish great I brought it up

24:00

to her the other day and she was like oh I forgot about that I was like yeah I'm sure you've experienced a lot of weird stuff she goes no that's definitely the weirdest I think I blocked it out of my memory oh my God I would think it was hysterical if I happened upon that but it's also coming from the perspective of someone who talks about this stuff all the time right I think for other people it probably would be really scary like if our kids teacher in the future is like hey so your child attempted to have a seance during recess i' be like be oh yeah I taught them that good job kid is that not how I'm supposed to play with my child this is from our listener Marcy

Precognitive son

and it's called My Sweet creepy kid knew I was pregnant hey Ghoulies first off thank you so much for the amazing podcast I stumbled across you one day a couple years ago and haven't stopped listening since your show has gotten me through

25:00

some really tough times when my mental health was in the tank trying to cope with my grandmother's death while in the middle of trying to move and a cardiac surgery for one of my kids those are just to name a few oh my gosh that's really tough I'm so sorry I also have always had a spooky side that I always felt weird sharing with others but your show has created this wonderful Community where I don't have to hide welcome so it helped me realize it's okay to be spooky and more true to myself all thanks to you too and the show your tour was amazing and I really enjoyed getting to meet you in Seattle although if I'm being honest my social anxiety was getting the best of me and I was very very awkward and I hope you do not remember me honestly I felt the exact same way in every interaction that I had where I was like I'm so painfully awkward people are going to walk away and hate me so I think we're all thinking the same thing and leaving the experience only worried about ourselves so don't worry at all don't worry my memory of meeting people are also just like wow I could have done

26:00

better in that social situation and also I was very concerned with like my smell because at that point we had not washed our robes Marcy says I was with my mom and my sister and although my sister is still a non-believer you converted my mom hell yeah the ghost hunting equipment kept going off during the show and she knew it wasn't rigged because you both whispered to each other what the [ __ ] and can you believe this cuz we were scared yeah anyway I was listening to your tour recap episode and you read an email from someone whose toddler would keep saying boo to their tour sweatshirt and seem to be scared of it yes to the picture of the house mhm my oldest son ten is also very creeped out by the sweatshirt and always asks me to take it off he says the house is too creepy and scares him and the dolls look like they're staring into your soul sorry have we created a haunted

27:00

sweatshirt we might we might have he has always been my somewhat creepy kid but at 10 it surprised me that he was scared of a sweatshirt with nothing seemingly scary on it my 8-year-old who was a Halloween baby but also scared of all things spooky isn't even scared of it and he's scared of everything I believe I may have written about my son before and I shared briefly about him on campfire stories once but Karan I think you were sick anyway I thought maybe it was a good time to share again especially as this has been on my mind a lot recently my 10-year-old is sweet but a little creepy and he knew he would have a little sister and told me so before I was even pregnant so in order to tell this correctly I need to give a little bit of background information in 2009 my aunt passed away from breast cancer sad this was a really difficult time for my family and she passed away 3 days before my sister's wedding and because my mom and my aunt hadn't talked

28:00

in years so it was just so much to deal with please everyone do those breast exams early detection can save lives my aunt had cut herself out of her and their parents' lives over something that now seems so petty but at the time was a really big deal to her we had no idea her cancer had returned until she was already in hospice my sister assumed because she didn't know that my aunt was still angry and just wasn't coming to the wedding for context my aunt lived in Houston and my family lives in the Seattle area so it wasn't simply something she could show up to without advanced planning thankfully my aunt had started texting my mom and told her that she didn't have much longer and they made amends my aunt made the brave decision to not receive treatment as she wanted to enjoy the time she had left my sister was able to talk to her while she was still somewhat lucid and she told my sister that she didn't want her to be sad and to continue with her wedding and the Planned honeymoon and that this was supposed to be a time of Celebration ction so my sister continued on with the

29:00

wedding despite not having my grandparents there she did get married on their wedding anniversary and despite not having my cousins who were both supposed to be in the wedding so she added a moving tribute to her that left everyone in tears I will never forget the day she died my mom was getting ready to go to work in the morning and kept telling me that she had a really bad feeling and didn't want to go to work she was staying in Washington to be with my sister and my dad mined her it was all in her head because men am I right and that she should still go to work so this was around 7 a.m. a few hours later my grandma called my dad to inform us of my aunt passing at 900 a.m. again exact times I can't remember but it was the same time my mom had her bad feeling due to the time difference between us and Houston later that evening we were looking for a piece of paper and my mom started balling because it seemed nothing could be easy all of a sudden out of no nowhere that piece of paper we were looking for was just on

30:00

top of a stack of papers that we all both my sister and my mom and I looked through twice so my mom and I we all think it was my aunt wow helping out I know so sweet a few years later at the end of 2012 I found out I was pregnant with my oldest child my now husband and I were not married at the time and my parents were not happy no I was a full-fledged adult at the ripe age of 27 with my Master's Degree working on a therapist lure and had been with my husband for like 7 years so anyway with this and my already Troublesome anxiety I was riddled with fear I was living in the Twin Cities away from my family who seemed to be upset and I was convinced I was going to have a miscarriage I didn't even tell those outside of my immediate family that I was pregnant until I was almost 18 weeks along I was just riddled with fear until one night I had a dream today

31:00

the details are somewhat fuzzy but the feeling remains I dreamt of my aunt her my mom grandma and myself were sitting around my mom's kitchen table which is the table she had when my aunt last visited and I remember the yellow and blue plaid tablecloth where we sat I don't remember all that was said but I remember she called me girlfriend which is something she did in life and that All Is Forgiven and everything will be okay I woke with such a sense of peace I told my mom that I had dreamt of my aunt and she told me that my grandma had also dreamt of my aunt that very same night oh my gosh my son was born in the summer of 2013 and despite my worries he was perfectly healthy I had severe postpartum anxiety never be afraid to talk about it so I had to stop watching or reading anything horror related my anxiety got so bad that I thought a demon was after my son seriously you guys please do not be afraid to seek

32:00

help anyway I mentioned this because after he started to be able to talk he stood in the corner of a room and said ghost I have no idea where he would have heard the word before and I was just slightly creeped out oh my gosh yeah in that same room I had a pretty high Hutch cabinet where on top I had two pictures of my aunt this Hutch was really tall I'm about 5'4 and I would have to stand on a step stool to reach the top so my son at 1 years old should not have been able to see what was up there yet when he was in his high chair he would look up and point at the pictures sometimes he would giggle again it was a little creepy my son since he was 5 months old hated sleeping on his own he slept in my husband's and I's bed until he was about 14 months well really he slept half the night in his own bed before coming to our room and in order to get him to sleep we had to lay down with him so we figured we would get a mattress for his

33:00

floor before getting him a big kid bed and I was so excited when he fell asleep there by himself for the first time that I took multiple pictures rapidly I snapped away on my old iPhone 4 and out of multiple pictures I took only one had an orb in it I'm not the biggest believer in orbs but it was just another creepy thing especially because it really does seem like someone else is interacting with him 100% yes and it's also really beautiful going back to before he was even born too just like not fully feeling the support of your family and them not showing up in the way that you expected them to or wanted them to and then her aunt coming through dream and being like it's okay I'm here and you're going to be okay yeah and we're all good and I support you in this and almost saying that like everyone else will support you as well it's just like a moment yeah everything's going to be okay with the pregnancy with the baby with your family everything will be just fine and it's so beautiful given that like like the aunt and the family had such a disconnect up until the the end

34:00

of her life but now like in the afterlife she's very much like you're my family and I'm going to be here yeah a couple years goes by and he has a little brother now so we decide to move back to Washington to be closer to my family while he was four we were waiting for his preschool bus on our porch playing him and his brother were jumping down from the step over and over and I remember thinking how content I was with my two kids and how I thought I really didn't want anymore next thing I know out of the blue my somewhat creepy kid turns to me and tells me that he had a dream he had a little sister I was like what the [ __ ] how weird at the exact same time I had the thought that I was content with just two kids so I went on to change the subject but he had already moved on so I dropped it it's interesting too because it's almost like is there information just kind of passing through on this wave and they're together and to her it just feels like a

35:00

thought of having another child but he can read that energy differently I don't know it's so strange it is this was the end of September or maybe very beginning of October around Christmas of that year I realized I'm late even though I knew I was like nope it's all in my head I'm definitely not pregnant well I decided to take a test after the new year and yep craigers eily enough I knew when I was pregnant with all three kids before any symptoms my husband and I waited to tell our boys until after we got the pregnancy confirmed by the doctor that happened in mid-February and my sister made them a cute little shirt in a onesie I was so excited to tell them but when we told our oldest he was like I already knew that say what at least he's open and supportive I always feel bad when I see the videos of people telling their kids and they're like no yeah we're done I don't want a sibling like well you're

36:00

getting one you're getting one I would understand if we found out immediately after he mentioned his dream but this was 4 months later and he was only 4 years old how could he have remembered this in April I went to have my 20we ultrasound and I knew in my gut that something was wrong the tech needed to go check with the person who reads them to make sure she got everything and was gone a long while we found out I was having a girl and I just knew her name was Amelia which wasn't even a name I was considering ing when I went to pick up my children from my mom's afterwards she told my son that he was going to have a little sister I kid you not he legit rolled his eyes at my mom and said duh I know and walked away we found out soon after the scan that my daughter had a congenital heart defect and had a really high chance of down syndrome throughout my whole pregnancy my son would say I had a little joy in my tummy which helped me get through this difficult time he was really into watching inside out during

37:00

this time but he would always remind me that I had joy in there in my belly so we decided I have chills like the best kind of chills right now so we decided Joy was the perfect middle name Amelia Joy when she was born those two were inseparable already best friends my daughter was also born with a heart birth mark and I would show people an honest ly I don't think they saw it at first it wasn't until she was about two that they really saw it and this was after an incident with a complete stranger in Target so to get into this story at this time my daughter had already had two open heart surgeries I was finally trying to deal with the trauma of all that while worrying about Co it was summer and I was waiting in the Starbucks and target for a much needed coffee my daughter had a tank top on and randomly another woman with waiting behind me commented on how cute cute my daughter was note she's still cute knows it and uses it to get

38:00

out of trouble and then she noticed her birthmark and she was like oh wow she has a heart birth mark and this woman goes on to tell me that that meant my daughter was kissed by an Angel I went back to my car and cried I bald my eyes out remembering my son had the dream of her before she was born I had the dream of my aunt and it all just came back I truly believe she did have angels watching over her during her multiple surgeries to top it off that same day out of nowhere my son who was n at the time asked me if I knew that we are alive before we are born I was like what and he said yes we are alive before we're born and I knew Amelia before she was in your tummy this was out of the blue just out of the blue he tells me this what a in tune like locked in kid like this this child was born oh yeah still Tethered to the other world and it has not it doesn't seem to break I'm

39:00

curious if Marcy's son has seen um Soul oh if not you should show him yeah Marcy my daughter Amelia does have Down syndrome and I do honestly believe she was a gift to us I know that not everyone who has a child with Ds or any other special needs feels the same way and it can be difficult at times she is so often filled with joy and her smile and laugh can turn around a bad day she is now five and had a third cardiac surgery this past September my oldest and Amelia are still best friends and my son talks about her constantly in class I asked his teacher recently if he ever talked about his brother and the teacher said I didn't even know he had a brother he didn't know his brother before this he only knew Amelia in the astral plane that's I didn't know he had brother that's so funny thanks again for the great podcast

40:00

and for allowing me to share the only person in my family who believes this is my mom as she's had some of her own experiences she saw her grandma who passed when she was a child got a call from her brother after he died and apparently saw my grandma while cleaning out her house after she had passed away I've started to share with others and occasionally I get the okay you're a little nuts look but my son hasn't said anything creepy again but is still very freaked out by the tour sweatshirt oh sorry thanks again see you on the other side Marcy she her incredible Marcy I'm sorry you had to go through all of that anxiety and just like the tough navigation of Dynamics during an already tough time being pregnant like with your family members and everything that's really really tough but it sounds like you have some Awesome Kids Amelia is so strong too to have already gone through three surgery series I can't even believe it awesome kids and awesome Guardians and so much love and

41:00

protection from the other side which I really think is so special right and I'm so curious what her oldest son how many more things he'll experience and say and just clue us into what's going on and I want to know how he knew Amelia like is it a past life thing I'm just so curious are they traveling Souls H so cool Marcy sending you also so much love I'm sorry for all the stuff that you've been going through and you are not strange for having all these paranormal encounters and we are here this community is here for you we're so glad you're here with us yeah and you're not strange at all for having the anxiety around pregnancies either no I feel like it's very common we see things that other people go through and it does you know it doesn't always make it easy or exciting to just announce something that feels like it should be but I understand that it's making me think about this Christmas so my cousin Addie she's 20

42:00

years younger than me Jesus CH Christ nothing my something made an alert on in my headphones but it came full volume oh oh oh oh it's so much louder than I have your volume so I don't understand how that so weird calm down okay Addie's 20 years younger than me and when she was baby my aunt and uncle would like literally post on their Facebook page the orbs that would go around that they'd capture on her baby cam like she's always experienced a lot she knew her dog had died because her other dog had like visited her from Beyond the Grave to tell her that her dog had pass like the other dog had pass she's had so many different experiences but now talking about just like things that can come up in conversation and wondering if it will ever come true Addie asked me this Christmas just like out of the blue she said how many kids do you want and I was like two three and she's like what do you want and I was like ideally one of

43:00

each would be great and then if we have a third can be whatever and I said what about you and she goes I want two kids I want them to be boys she goes but of course because I want them to be boys I'm going to end up with girls so it was kind of like cheeky and very like an adult comment to make but because she's had so many different experiences now I feel like I'm going to lock that into my memory and 20 30 years from now it makes me wonder like is she to be told like oh you're having boys in every single ultrasound scan and then it will turn out to be a girl turned out to be a girl yeah lock that away we'll see what happens to her locked into the podcast too so forever recorded we'll forget it but our listeners won't will we be podcasting in 20 years I hope we never stop maybe we'll be there will be like a cool evolution of like holographic podcasting that's kind of what I was wondering it's like what are podcasts going to look look like in 20 years we like follow people around like small Little Star Wars Holograms I

44:00

like that come out of a pocket you can change Polly Pocket clothes you can change your outfits too and then chew on them but it has to be realistic so it's going to be three hairstyles for me box or briefs for me to wear under my pants and overalls the same sweatpants every time on the bottom and just alternating between like four tops that are mostly just sweatshirts oh man I love it and it's like make up okay just mascara that's it it's your only

Imaginary friend

option okay this is called encounters story about an imaginary friend hi guys I love the podcast and devour new episodes as fast as they come out though I consider myself fairly mundane and that I haven't really had any significant encounters with the Paranormal the closest I've come is having quite regular and intense bouts of deja vu to the point of being physically stopped in my tracks because it feels so strongly like I I've done this exact same thing before any I was falling asleep to the

45:00

last encounters episode in the story about the man jogged my memory about an experience that I had with my niece when she was 2 years old like most kids she had an imaginary friend who she called rainbow oh I don't remember a lot of specifics but I do remember that me and my sisters used to regularly give nervous laughs when Lola would recount rainbow stories because they always had a bit of a weird vibe to them when asked to describe her Lola would say that she had long sharp claws black eyes and rainbow colored hair whoa one day I was visiting my sister's house and had brought one of my dogs with me we had been there for a while and I got up to let Hamlet my kelpy out into the backyard to go to the toilet a large sliding glass door led directly from the loung room to the yard if you stepped outside and moved to the right you could take the right- hand turn around the corner of the house where the yard

46:00

narrowed into a pebbled corridor down the side of the house where the bins were stored after putting Hamlet outside I returned to sit on the floor and play with Lola and as I did this I heard Hamlet moving down the pebbled path now Hamlet is very used to being indoors and involved in whatever I'm doing but he particularly loves my niece and nephews when he's put outside he usually just runs out to the grass goes to the bathroom and then returns to the door to come straight back inside getting distracted in our game about 5 minutes had passed when I realized Hamlet was still outside I looked over my shoulder to the sliding glass door but he wasn't there and he wasn't in the yard Beyond I wonder what Hamlet is doing I mused and my niece who remember is only 2 years old puts her toy down looks up at me in an total dead pan says he's near the bins rainbow is hurting him oh my gosh no joke the words had barely left her mouth and Hamlet came tearing up the

47:00

side of the house sat with his back to the door looked back the way that he had just come with all of his hair standing on end I got up and I let him back in the house a bit freaked out and not really knowing what to say to Lola so I just said you tell rainbow that we don't hurt dogs and if she does it again she better be prepared to deal with me Lola just smiled and said she knows she just likes to be mean Lola is now nearly 7 years old and thankfully it's been some years since we've heard her mention rainbow it could have been a coincidence but it still freaked me out and combined with the other weird stories that Lola would tell about rainbow it always made me a little nervous thinking about her and uh that's my story keep up with a great work and stay spooky Julia I don't like rainbow no rainbow is evil Terri rainbow is up to no good rainbow hurts dogs lures them into the pebbled corridor under false

48:00

pretense of probably being pet or being involved in something fun like he was inside and then hurt how old do you picture rainbow to be like is is rainbow like almost like a fay could be I feel like rainbow like I almost picture like a five or six-year-old I picture like Megan the doll actually I almost picture like the movie Orphan where it's like a someone presenting looks like a child but is actually like 40 years old that very scary movie and what's also scary is that that did happen based on a true story isn't it based on the story that the couple said that they adopted a child that's actually an adult and that wasn't the case at all like she truly was just a child and they left her and like neglected her that might be a separate one but there like it's a true story of this woman from Russia who conned a bunch of families and like was like super mischievous and like okay yeah cuz there's something that happened in the states where like this poor girl who had some different disabilities like this suddenly convinced themselves her adoptive parents that she was an like 25-year-old adult or something and she

49:00

wasn't she was like 10 that's sad I don't I don't know about that story but it's a sad way to end this creepy kids there are so many creepy kids kids yeah did you have an imaginary friend when you were younger um not that I recall I know my sister did but I don't recall having one do you remember the name of your sisters try found a friend did you have one no I didn't but I'm also curious if children have imaginary friends when they're an only child like your sister if when you came and when Graham came the imaginary friend goes away oh or is it like truly haunting H I definitely didn't have one you didn't no and I don't really know anyone who did either so it doesn't feel as common as it feels interesting we hear about them so frequently but like I don't even remember I don't know wouldn't I have heard about it in kindergarten or first grade where someone talks about their imaginary friend well I bet you didn't

50:00

have one because your parents believed in ghosts so like anything that would have been called an imaginary friend your parents acknowledged and knew was a ghost mom's like don't talk to them they're dead yeah whereas like my one friend Jill she has three daughters and Abby who is five has an imaginary friend who does like the naughty things it's almost like a weird like she's she knows she's supposed to be good but she has these like inner thoughts and desires to do other things like she'll say her imaginary friend's name didn't wash his hands after like going to the bathroom and it's like very clearly her almost admitting that it's her admitting that she didn't wash her hands but she wants it to be like the bad kid you know yeah she doesn't want to get in trouble but she's still trying to push the boundaries right okay my mom has not read my text yet so we might not get a response well to be determined what that name was yeah well let's let you know you did live in a very haunted house so very well Lexi's imaginary friend could have been a ghost and we grew up with my

51:00

dad who is a very haunted person oh my brother was born a new brother did we even talk about this pregnancy on the podcast I don't know but my dad and his wife were pregnant and just had a baby his name is Luca Nathaniel Roga born 6:48 p.m. on December 15th look at his astrocartography lines see if you ever be in the same city I have to figure out what city he was born in born in Lithuania yeah how cute how sweet also the freaking maternity care in different countries is so wild their hospital room has a full king-sized bed so that she and my dad and the baby like all can like live in this room and they're there for like a few days look at this meal that they were served my gosh I feel like it's so good and so many different countries this meal it's like a steak

52:00

dinner W wine what the heck yeah oh my mom just responded her mie friend's name was Andy and then she had a doll that she called Lexia but I feel like that's close to her own name so that's probably right yeah the doll named Lexi but Andy Andy was her imaginary friend and I think similarly Andy was like naughty I wonder if it was like inspired by Toy Story maybe Andy I don't think Toy Story was out at that time oh it's weird to think of a time that Toy Story wasn't out picture is just always existing I don't know probably like 1998 95 yeah so not yet so from the time that I could remember anything story out that's true yes if you have imaginary friends or had imaginary friends or still do I don't know email us your ghost stories of any topic to two girl wos podcast at gmail.com but we do love creepy kid
