0:00

very spooky hello everyone this is two girls one go ghost two girls one ghost and I'm wearing my blazer which means we mean business we are your ghostesses that's Karen I'm Sabrina we kind of are color coordinated your hat matches my hair that's true I have a little pink in my hair now too are on my head yeah we are and one I am wearing the opposite of what you're wearing which is a sweatshirt no bra just giving full Hagrid Vibes don't worry I'm not wearing a bra and I got the sweatpants on okay

1:00

great at least we're there together we're comfy cash we're comfy cash because this episode is a little different what we've done before we're still going to tell ghost stories that are sent in from listeners but we've been doing this for almost 7even years and there have been multiple times throughout those seven years that we reference emails that were're sent to us before that we've read stories that we keep coming back to and so we thought it might be interesting to revisit just a few of those emails that we've received and reread them so that people basically have like almost like a little glossery of a couple of the tales that were like that reminds me of this person's email exactly so that is what we're going to

Revisiting classic stories

do stories that have stuck with us I feel like this should be a two-parter where we do part one now and then we do part two closer to our podcast anniversary and this is also a good idea because there's just so many that and I posted on our patreon asking people for

2:00

their favorite stories from over the years and there's just so many I know well and it's like it's hard cuz it's people connect to different things so it's like the ones I remember might be different than the ones that you remember and what other people are suggesting yeah I feel like there are certain stories that really stick out to us and then there are the ones like Rick from Dominus episode 12 that just will never be forgotten because of how they've impacted our listeners now thinking about the fact that we've been doing this for S years what if something happen like kind of like in the ring like you have 7even days I feel like we're reaching a point as we're approaching the 7year mark that something haunting is going to happen my stomach just kind of like churned and girled I don't like the thought of that you have seven years oh to do what Sabrina because I've put this on to myself and on to ourselves yeah wait why am I getting looped into this I haven't agreed yet what is what's the punishment it does feel like it has to be something bad okay maybe maybe it's not a

3:00

punishment maybe it's a manifestation that's that we will create and something very good will happen okay that is extremely broad I like that let's let's you're such a good fortune teller Sabrina something will be created that is good in your future I see something in your future but I don't know what it is but there is a future for you that will be one billion bucks please the air I sense I sense it's warm where you'll be yes okay well everyone will experience that I do I sense that and I I see people and a very a motherly energy but oh but not necessarily a mother or anyone related to you just someone who shows you kindness but Olivia Benson I like how this became a group reading for no one in particular

4:00

but we're here nonetheless and let us know what you think's going to happen in 7 years there are some of you out there who are far more powerful than we are and while we are baby witches in the beginning early days of our Journeys some of you are um fullon Witches full ass Witches fulled full ass full bodied witches I like the idea of full ass like you and I don't have full asses yet no no we're working on inflating them forget Brazilian buttlifts get a a full ass witch ass butt with us I saw something disturbing on Tik Tok the other day and I didn't dig any deeper into it but apparently there's a smell associated with people who have bbls like not long after someone has a BBL there's like a certain scent to them and people can tell I'm picturing the smell of like those little like beads that come in like shoe boxes or like with clothes that it's kind of like AIT that absorb all of the moisture yeah

5:00

yeah I feel like there's like a weird Sil scent yeah it kind of reminds me of like not necessarily Play-Doh cuz play I actually like the I was almost just about to say Play-Doh actually have you ever eaten Play-Doh it's very salty I don't recommend it but if you ever you were the kid that ate Play-Doh but you didn't chew in your Polly Pockets so I'm confused you were unpredictable still am baby even to myself but back to encounters basically we decided to pick some of our favorites from over the

The fairy infestation tale

years and I want you to start Karan okay I'm going to start with one that I've definitely referenced a few times but it just still I feel like coming off of acatar and just for the love of fairies this one has always made me kind of think about what is the potential of encountering something like this okay so this story was sent into us and origin Al read on encounters episode 124 which

6:00

came out on Halloween in 2021 oh okay I do like that we have record of when these were originally read so that people can go back and relisten and see because I don't even know like is our reaction to it going to change because it's been two years is it going to be the same we still the exact same yeah right this person is anonymous I have no idea if in the original reading of this we gave them a nickname but I'm just going to call them a for anonymous hi there ladies I have a Dy of a story for you in 2018 I decided to go off the grid I was fed up with people only admiring my appearance and caring nothing for my mind or my spirit and I realized my Social Circle was made up of nothing but shallow people and it was my time to say goodbye my main motivation for disappearing was escaping a stalker situation and I quit all social media I deleted my email I'm using my friend's email to write this and it was one of the best decisions that I had ever made you know what I kind of love that you're

7:00

reading this right now because where I was in my life two years ago is so different from where I am in my life today and this might be the inspiration I need to up and move yeah up and vanish there is so much power in restarting like I've told you that a million times because it's like when I moved to Boston at the time that I made the decision to move to Boston I didn't actually know anyone that lived in Boston it worked out that I had friends that moved there and I started to build a social Circle there but I got to be really hard on myself and be like reflecting on every single day and behavior and choice that I was making and being like well is this the person I'm trying to build myself to be and I was you know crying every day but but almost feeling that low and that deep sadness is what allows you to like reenter and actually get to the nitty-gritty of what you want in your life right and there's no one else kind of not necessarily like holding you back but like there's no one else being like

8:00

Oh well this doesn't feel like you this you know like you get to choose it's only up to you yeah it's only up to you you're your own Sims maker and you are the Sims character and except for I want you to be my Sims controller for just like just a little bit I have asked you if I could control your life for just a few months but that wouldn't be and I would love for you to how do you how do we make this happen well because I can't actually make you do anything become me for like just take over possess me just a light level possession you're welcome to take over my we'll see how it goes a consensual possession yeah you know I could just kidnap you and make you do things I'm going to grab a little visitor real quick okay hello a baby no way how would what did you dream of fairies fairies in her little sleep sack she's so cute you want to hang out and listen to some ghost stories yeah I'm going to tell you a fairy tale Noy okay we're listening quit all social Med media I deleted my email I'm even using

9:00

my friend's email to write this and this was one of the best decisions I've ever made I was lucky enough to find an isolated cabin for super cheap in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and I was able to get it fixed enough before my first winter there which was brutal in case you didn't know I'm a fiercely independent woman of 38 and I'm pretty handy and I was able to take the rundown cabin from something out of a Twin Peaks nightmare to a cute and cozy meditation station I want photos I know I just got the electricity hooked up before the weirdness began it was November and snow had been on the ground for over a month at night I began to be awoken by the sound of big winged insects I flipped on the light and I saw nothing this began to happen every night and I'm an animal lover but really have no compassion for insects that said I completely freaked out that night when I woke up to something buzzing in my hair it seemed as if it was the huge dragonfly that was

10:00

tangled up in my long black hair and so I leaped out of bed I instantly slipped on the smooth hardwood floors and my fluffy wool KN socks combined with my hysteria were to blame for the fall I pulled the Intruder out of my hair I mean I would freak out if this happened ew because I would I would also think like spider or something you know oh CU it it feels big cut all my hair off after that yes yeah immediately go to the bathroom and shave your head goodbye matching haircuts with you Noemi yeah we'll have a little bald head like you I pulled the Intruder out of my hair curiosity won over disgust and I decided I needed to look at my catch it did resemble a huge dragonfly but with one obvious difference it had a human head was it still alive I think so that's horrifying if I had neighbors my scream certainly would have gotten the police called when I screamed I let go of the thing and it darted under the bed okay

11:00

yes it was alive I fumbled for a flashlight with my shaking hands not aware yet of the bruise forming on my thigh and my elbow I got down on my hands and my knees and I shined the light beneath the bed the one in my hair had joined the hundreds of others under the bed not one to be [ __ ] with I declared war and I immediately went to go get my huge industrial shop fact I spent the rest of the night and the whole next day sucking up these little beings it must have been The Surreal scene to behold because this vacuum has a 4in drammer hose and might as well be powered by a jet engine wait so it took the whole night and the whole next day to get these get all of them to find them all yeah also what a strange I don't remember the detail of like the whole infestation under the bed oh really I remember every word of this email I remember the vacuuming it up yeah and then what's soon to come do you remember like when they get on the road mhm okay after after the first couple hours the shaking and the crying stopped

12:00

and I actually started enjoying myself only twice did one of these little buggers touch me again latching onto my flannel night shirt or my wool socks the only clothing that I had on I made damn sure that none of them got close to my face or my hair it turned into this bizarre game of hideand-seek and I became the Seeker as soon as I switched on the vacuum they were scared and rightfully so yeah don't mess with hey I sucked them up two or three three at a time some were the size of moths which disappeared up the nozzle as soon as I pointed it in their Direction others had the girth of small birds and I could feel the hose Shake as they passed through oh gosh if I got four or more on the end of the nozzle they would clog the end for a moment before their bodies were smashed together and forced in by the suction these were the only ones that died I think and yes I could see their human faces screaming some male some female looking and I wasn't about

13:00

to discriminate I could hear plenty of them rambling around in the barrel siiz canister and after a few hours of making sure that they were all gone I loaded up the vacuum into my pickup and headed for Town certainly I'd made my biggest Discovery in human history I believe they may have been F folk fairies though I'm not really certain to the day what else could they be I don't know theyve human heads that like you can tell the difference between male and female ones they're screaming they're probably making eye oh my God I can't even imagine the terror of them and then also the terror to like experience that and have them infest your home I think I would have run out of the home like I I don't know that I would have had The Bravery to do all of that I think I would have freaked out with it in my hair then holding it in my hand probably freaked out and then as someone who was raised on a fairy tale and movies and shows like that and it was like my dream to encounter a little tiny pixie like

14:00

that I think I would have taken maybe an hour outside to calm down and then regone in and been like let's be friends how do I make this a part of my life right CU I mean they chose to show up in A's place so what did they want right and it's not like this person had just moved into the cabin either like they spent some time fixing it up although it was winter and it was really harsh and I wonder if there was some sort of like migration pattern or travel that they were doing and they needed to seek shelter and that's just happened to be it was a secluded cabin like what are the chances there's a bunch of other places available to them ooh that's such a good point I wonder if prior to a moving into this place it had been abandoned for a really long time and so they had been using this place as their yes stopping grounds it was a stop on the way oh my gosh honestly if I were one of the fa folk I would be so livid at the one that went and got tangled in her hair I know cuz I feel you ruined for all of us we were like your choices

15:00

killed some of our people and route to the police station it was as if I hit this huge bump or just landed a huge jump with my truck because I lost control of the truck I spun out into a ditch I emerged dazed though unharmed and to my horror the vacuum was gone I searched everywhere I was freezing as I didn't bother throwing on my coat or my pants when I was heading there and I pulled up my socks so that they almost met the bottom of my night shirt and I just headed for home if I didn't have boots on I probably would have gotten frostbite and that's it that's the story of an almost captured Fay some potential murders and a very spooked person and very spooked Fay I mean the fact that they were able to manipulate the car and then disappear it it's not that they vanish from the vacuum the entire vacuum was gone makes me wonder like what is

16:00

controlling them because I feel like if they had the power to do all of that with the car and the vacuum be removed they wouldn't have allowed hours and hours of this person sucking them up with a vacuum trapping them it feels like something else another Force something more powerful came and stopped and collected their fairies what these are oh oh that's interesting I was thinking like what if there's like the more powerful queen bee of the fairies you know who came to save her Colony yeah that could be what do you think noi you want to eat the microphone it's hard to wrap your mind around it feel like you would know out of anyone noomi cuz you you've most recently been to the other side yeah well I hope that those Fay are okay I mean I think we lost some Fay lives that day I think some died it's hard to know what you would do in that situation though cuz there is so much fear you're alone in a cabin there's like you're already so scared like picture thinking for you and I were such a arachnophobes picture thinking

17:00

that it's a spider getting the spider out of your hair and then that spider having a human face like I probably would also try to kill all of them but see that's the thing is like if I I already can't deal with any type of bug if I were to then see it had a human face and then see that there was an entire infestation of them I think I would simply either perish or have like a full mental breakdown yeah how do you sleep the next day like how do you ever yeah go back to place like in peace right cuz they're in the middle of nowhere there's going to be a lot of noises of bugs and animals and just different things I feel like I'd always be so on edge I agree I don't love that all right any final thoughts no way before I pass you off to n nothing but she likes the ghost stories there was nothing that came out of her mouth but I think she said she said a lot she said all we need to hear yeah and she's like I love your podcast I'm I'm your number one fan keep doing

18:00

it thank you thank you Noami all righty let's go to Nana it was really fun I like having you with me while we record honestly I think recording with babies is my new favorite thing this is one of those stories that I have read to people like it's one of the encounters that after we read it on the podcast anytime I was in a situation and people wanted to hear ghost stories this is the story that I would pull pull from The Vault and it is from our

Camping terror in the woods

listener Tegan oh I know exactly what this one is you know exactly what it is because I think you've probably said a hundred times in the history of this podcast this reminds me of Tan's email and here is Tan's email we read this on encounters 31 wow this was so early tan was one of our very first listeners then January 16th of 2019 is when we released this episode hi guys I love the podcast and I thought I'd share this one I hope you enjoy it keep up the awesome work thanks my name is tan and I have a brother who is a couple years older than

19:00

me we've always been really close his name is Danny and we love to go camping together whenever we can sometimes we'll rent a log cabin on a lake somewhere for our vacations together but we're also both outdoorsy types so we usually elect to go hiking or fishing and set up tents somewhere instead last fall in early October we did exactly this and made our way out to this gorgeous sprawl of forest in New England to spend a few days nature walking and making sausages of fire and listening to podcast like yours it's sort of how we Bond now that we're both adults and have separate lives that seem to be drifting further and further apart every year I forgot that this happened in New England and I I need Tegan to tell us where I'm about to tell you because we did ask that question and we were at the Miles Standish State Forest in Carver Massachusetts okay do you know where that is relative to you no I bet it's probably out like near the birkar western Mass let me look Carver

20:00

Massachusetts who said yeah tan said I've looked into it and apparently there have been a few unsolved murders in those woods along with several paranormal experiences reported oh wait this is not where I thought it was this is Carver is just below the Bridgewater Triangle it's over by Plymouth so maybe there is like an extension maybe there's like a trickle of the the triangle the kidney bean Miles Standish stay Forest catch me there will we after this though that's true that's true I know it's coming I don't know why I said that all right tan says things were going great the weather was perfect the fishing was good we were having a blast just hiking taking pictures and just talking all day we set up our tent and built a fire and settled in for the night drinking beers and lying around until about midnight Danny seemed perfectly fine and we brought our huge ass tent that's technically made for like six people so there was no jostling around for space for our sleeping bags or anything nice beautiful comfortable such an adult way to Camp yes I was out like 10 minutes

21:00

after we laid down thanks to the beer and all the hiking earlier plus The Haunting calls of the odd loon or two that hadn't migrated for the winter they have always been really soothing to me and so once I heard Danny Mumble night I was down for the count H I do remember this too because I have a loon call and I'm assuming that when we first read this I was like oh let me give you an example of a loon call well let's hear it well no I can't do it with my hands I've tried you whist forever I have the whistle cuz I'm not talented enough to do the like with the whistle in your hands yeah yeah oh my gosh on the show Traders they had this challenge where there are people out in the property and then there are other people in the the castle and the people in the property go and find birds and have to repeat the sound of the bird call back to the people at the house and they have to like properly identify them and it is so funny they're like birds that sound like dogs it's wild oh my gosh we I would love this I need to watch this episode yeah well I

22:00

think you would enjoy the show but particularly that episode The birding episode Danny sounded as tired as I was so I was planning on both of us sleeping all the way through until tomorrow morning usually we're both early risers and would try to beat each other to making the coffee and hash over the fire for breakfast but for some weird reason I felt oddly exhausted that night all of this is why it struck me as really weird when I sort of kind of woke up in the middle of the night to find Danny's sleeping bag flat and him gone so I assumed maybe he had to go pee or something and I didn't think twice about it before falling back to sleep I hadn't even heard him wrestling about the tent but I figured I just was tired and slept through it and only his absence had eventually woken me up I slept for a few more minutes but then I was abruptly woken up again by the sound of Danny's footsteps just outside the tent and weirdly one of his hands pressing into the tent creating an outline of a shape of his hand against the canvas no that is too freaky I looked at it and

23:00

I said Danny for a long minute Danny did not answer and it looked like he was dragging his one hand across the surface of the tent for some reason pressing into it like he was looking for a weak spot or something oh like I understand if it's so dark and you can't really see and you're looking for the zipper and you're kind of like trying to gently do it but you would respond when your sister says Danny you say oh yeah sorry I just had to pee I'm trying to get back in yeah like me back in or something my brother is very tall about 6'5 so his hand was higher up than a person closer to my size might have been that was my only indication that it was him until he finally said Tean that was it just my name and I was becoming increasingly creeped out at this point it was Pitch Black outside and everything was bizarrely silent which any campers who might see or hear this will know is highly suspect for a forest in Early Autumn or any time of the year for that matter I could not hear any bugs any Birds no trees wrestling no wind nothing

24:00

and that was when it hit me and I felt like I had been doused in ice water my brother hasn't called me by my name in years if ever ever since we were little kids he called me [ __ ] because when our parents first explained that this was his new sister he couldn't really work out the word so he kept saying sister and [ __ ] and they thought it was so cute so after a while everyone at home called me [ __ ] I have chills again thinking of this because it's also like how does the Paranormal even know your name that's Danny even calls me [ __ ] when he texts me when he calls me when he messages me on Facebook he calls me [ __ ] when we're hanging out when he's referring to me in any way even when he's talking to his friends about me that's [ __ ] my [ __ ] is coming with us tonight Etc I truly cannot remember the last time he has said my name Tean out loud and there is literally no reason why he would randomly be using it right now in the middle of the night in the middle of the Woods mhm it occurred to me in that moment that whatever or

25:00

whoever the hell was standing outside my tent right then was not my brother I didn't know what else to do though so I said Danny what are you doing come on out he said instead of answering me it's beautiful out here come look at the stars I remember blurting out I don't want to before realizing how weird it sounded but what he said next sounded even weirder tan come come on out I nearly [ __ ] myself when I heard it because not only was he dragging out the last worded in this incredibly creepy sing song tone but his voice had also changed at first he did sound like my brother Danny but on the last word his voice went raw and guttural and harsh like he was straining to get it out through a throat packed with sand and at least one octave deeper than he sounded before tan come on

26:00

out by now I'd scrambled out of my sleeping bag and was up against the opposite side of the tent I'd grab for my glasses so I could see better but I wish I hadn't because I'm pretty sure whatever the [ __ ] was outside of our tent had seven fingers on the hand it was pressing into the side of the tent and dragging across the canvas I was terrified that something had my brother but like a coward I stayed silent and I waited until whoever or whatever was outside seemed to give up and walked away its footsteps didn't even sound like Danny's boots anymore either but rather a heavier scraping walk that dragged through the dirt and leaves far more slowly than Danny's walks no once I was sure it was gone and the birds and bugs started making noises again I bolted from the tent to find Dany he wasn't that far away wandering through a patch of trees calling for me saying [ __ ] I asked him what the hell had happened and he demanded to know the same thing because he told me that he'd woken up to the sound of me calling him from out in the woods asking him to come help me I told him the whole story from

27:00

my end and he was like no no no nope nope we're out pack up your [ __ ] I'll fire up the truck neither of us is Superstitious by nature but there was no denying the absolute Madness of what we had both experienced we hit the town by Dawn and to this day neither of us can explain what happened that night I forgot some of the details of like what the creature seemed like from the outside I remembered him being summoned out and tan also like something was trying to get out it's creepy that so whatever it was got her brother right like he exited the tent he entered the woods yeah but he must have not been the target it was Teegan because they had all of the opportunity to take him or were they trying to get both I kind of feel like they were trying to get both but because maybe he didn't fully go all the way through the woods and I don't know and were there two entities was this like a tag team situation or was it just one entity that can manipulate mult like realities at the same time which is

28:00

like well then that's way too freaking powerful and I don't like that I can't imagine the terror that he experienced too thinking that his sister was in trouble and in the woods and him like going through the dark trying to like every worst case scenario goes through your head is it a person is it an animal like all of that but then she's she's just in the I'm surprised he didn't look and see her in the tent but I understand awoken out of the dead of sleep and maybe you're just confused enough to wander past or like was his reality so shifted that he also couldn't see her still sleeping there but I guess if you're functioning on adrenaline you hear your sister calling for help maybe you just immediately react you don't stop to think about it why would you stop to check if she's still there you know if you hear her outside so certainly and you're you're the brother like you feel protective in that moment over your sibling yeah of course I don't think that this is maybe the answer but I think A New Perspective that I have from doing the podcast and now knowing

29:00

that this is so close to the Bridgewater Triangle there are aliens that are seen near the Bridgewater Triangle and one of them is called a pck waji some sort of like crypted alien creature mhm and it does try to speak English and it is strin and it is awkward when it says it and one of the examples that's shown in the Bridgewater Triangle documentary is about a man who was walking his dog down a back the dirt road Street and a little puck wagy alien creature comes out and goes e want you KIA KIA like we want you come here come here and so it makes me wonder like is this some evolution of that creature but the only thing that makes me say like okay well it can't necessarily be a puck waji is that those are smaller and this thing seemed to be tall enough to be mistaken for her brother it's also so fascinating I think we talked about this when which is wild that I can potentially recall something from 2019 but I think we talked about this

30:00

where it's almost like the entity called Dany out so that it could understand the sounds of his voice oh and then that's why it took a while for the entity to even say anything to Tegan yeah but then then on to to talk myself out of my own question is why wouldn't it have called her [ __ ] then or was it confused cuz it doesn't understand like the human emotion behind nicknames yeah or when he was looking was there one moment where he did say tan instead of [ __ ] cuz he was concerned like in the terror you know sometimes when you're like so terrified or you're so angry like someone's full name will come out but when Tegan did finally find Danny he was calling her [ __ ] so I don't know right I'm glad they got out yeah honestly though if Tegan were like hey Karen and Sabrina Danny and I want to go back to that spot do you want to come I think I'd say yes no I know I'd say but

31:00

I might sleep in my car that's fine I think being able to like have a quick getaway is very important yeah and doors that lock not just zippered nylon although we also have that story from The Listener whose partner was camping in sleeping in their locked car and potentially got abducted by aliens so you're never sa there's an example of everything I guess although it's terrifying I think the one thing that we can maybe find some comfort in is when it comes to the Paranormal you didn't do anything wrong because there's no one right way no there is not okay this is a story similar Sabrina that you said you read Tegan story I have read this story

Poltergeist and astral travel

to so many people it's such a creepy one I know exactly what it is all right this is from James hi girls greetings from the UK love the podcast but for anyone who's ever listened that's a given and also I will say we originally read this

32:00

oh this is an early one too it was encounters number six wow okay early early days okay 2018 anyways I'll get straight to the story as I'm sure you get hundreds of emails not at this point this was very early about 10 years ago I was living in a flat in a large old townhouse in the city of gler it was a bit like a New York Brownstone I had one apartment above me and one below me and I never had any Supernatural experiences before this and was pretty much a skeptic but what happened over these two nights completely turned me into a Believer very late one evening I was lying on my bed in the dark listening to some music on my headphones and I should mention at this point that my room had pretty heavy wooden shutters so it was completely pitch black I was really tired and I was just beginning to nod off when I felt the weight of the bed shift like someone had just climbed onto it I kept my eyes shut and I mumbled something assuming it was my boyfriend whom I had left asleep on the couch and I continued to drift off after a few more minutes I rolled over onto my side

33:00

to face the door and I opened my eyes a little bit it was then that I saw the light switch on under the door and it dawned on me that my boyfriend was out in the hallway I completely froze as I could still feel the bed tilting behind me where someone had climbed onto it I was too scared to look around but I quickly yanked out my earphones and it was then that I realized I could hear breathing coming from behind me what I turned over slowly my heart pounding and that's when I saw it there was a very tall man stood on the bed looking down at me the only light in the room was coming from under the door so I couldn't see his features very clearly but he had this long hair hanging down in a very large frame and seemed to be wearing something like a trench coat I leapt up yelling I tore out of the room to go get my boyfriend who tried to call me down and tell me that I must have just fallen asleep and dreamt it but I was not convinced the front door was locked and so were all of the windows but I still was adamant that we had an intruder I

34:00

didn't even consider that it was a ghost until the next night when something even more terrifying happened I forgot about night one because night two is so yeah me too I feel like when we reference this we reference night two yeah night two it took me ages to get to sleep the next night and I of course insisted my boyfriend stay over after what happened previously I woke up sometime as I was feeling nauseous and I went to get up to go find some water but as I tried to sit up I hit my head on something again the room was completely dark and I put my hands up in front of me and I could feel what I had hit I found that I could barely raise my hands from where they were and I was touching a hard surface above me a bit like being in a coffin I felt around in front of me and there were these swirling patterns on it and it seemed familiar for some reason and I tried to push my way through but it would not budge I freaked out I tried to shout to my boyfriend but I could not get any noise to come out of my mouth I started pounding on the surface above me and I began hyperventilating I get claustrophobic at the best of times and

35:00

I actually ended up passing out from Fear the next morning I awoke and I put it down to a bad dream my boyfriend said that he slept like a rock and he didn't notice me having any nightmares or anything it wasn't until my upstairs neighbor knocked on the door that I realized what had happened oh my God she asked if I was okay because she said she heard me screaming and pounding on the ceiling the night before she said she'd come down and she rang our doorbell but we didn't answer I walked in the bedroom feeling really freaked out and I looked up at the ceiling and there all I could see were the swirl patterns in the plaster just like what I had felt in the dark I had been floating in midair under the ceiling there was no way to reach the ceiling as this was an old building and the ceilings were very high even stood on the bed I could not reach the ceiling I went to a spiritual shop the next day for a advised and I ended up buying a hell of a lot of sage yep after

36:00

that nothing else happened I tried to do some research on the history of the place and the only thing that I could find out was that at one point it was a hotel anyway that's my story thanks for reading stay spooked girls keep up the awesome podcast and this was sent from James back in 2018 it still is absolutely horrifying because the fact that the upstairs neighbor was not impacted by this strange little bubble that was put over James and their partner like the fact that James's partner didn't hear a thing but the upstairs neighbor is hearing James scream and bang on the ceiling and goes Downs even James's own perspective James didn't think that he was able to get any noise out of yeah his mouth he felt like he was trying to scream but nothing would come out but that's not true but then it also makes me wonder because over the years we've done so much or read so much and heard so much that was this James's astral self and I kind of hope it was because the

37:00

alternative of something lifting James up and keeping James's body held up at the ceiling is far more one mysterious terrifying and like two how and what is this creature that is able to do that well and then it's also confusing cuz like can our Asal bodies can we still feel everything the way that we would physically cuz it like James couldn't push past the ceiling either he was feeling the texture he couldn't move past it he was totally stuck like in a coffin which is what you'd feel in your physical body but then again the neighbor heard which maybe she's very sensitive maybe she heard astrally the yeah I don't know I don't know it's still one of the scariest things I could ever picture myself experiencing truly the alternative is this creepy ass trench coat long-haired creature man that James saw on night one is literally heavy weightlifting James

38:00

up above his head in the air holding James's body up to the ceiling because that creature like whatever that guy was he was so tall too and I also hate the fact that he felt the compression in the bed and then finally like got up the strength to look and I feel like in most horror movies and stories that we hear you often hear that someone's like sitting on the bed and the worst case scenario you think is like someone laying on the bed looking at you but I didn't consider something so giant and Tall standing over you like what there's nothing you can do in that situation if they want to get to you like you don't there's no second that you can buy yourself like they have the upper hand the entire time to be fair I think entities generally have the upper hand or even like humans who sneak into your home like have the upper hand because they're it's the element of surprise which takes away but you just want the peace of mind like I still have a lot by

39:00

the time we're recording this we have like 2 days until our book club on patreon and I haven't gotten very far notar still because I have been a little bit under the weather and I keep falling asleep but Farah she says something in the book that reminds me of this where she's talking about how she'd like set that blanket trap and they're like what are you what is a blanket going to do right she's like well at least it would give me the peace of mind to feel like it was doing something and I wouldn't I wouldn't die as quickly or like you know I wouldn't you just get one second yeah whether it makes any difference in whether I live or die that doesn't matter it's just her idea was like she would at least be able to have enough time to like start to face away and try to run and so it wouldn't just be like staring at her death in front of her I'm so excited for you to finish the book so we can talk about it well as soon as we're done recording I'm going to rip through it I haven't started book two yet because I don't want to read it and get confused of what happened in which book and then ruin anything for anyone smart so the second we finish that book club I will start that book okay me too

40:00

cuz I bought it I bought the second one knowing that I would like the first one

Bloody Mary prank revealed

I have one to end this on and it is called Bloody Mary terrorized my hometown it is from our listener Joey Karan you know where this is going we'll give zero indication but it was read originally on encounters oh maybe it's episode this might have been on like a full episode it was episode 61 which we read October 21st 2018 okay hi guys I realized I forgot to tell you about how Bloody Mary terrorized my hometown of Roland Heights California when I was in fifth grade my neighborhood and Elementary School were stocked by Bloody Mary it all started when a bunch of us learned of the urban legend and how to summon Bloody Mary so a bunch of us thought it would be a spooky fun idea so after school five of us Heather Amanda Sylvia and Brenda stayed behind and went into the girl's bathroom I being the only boy of the group paid more attention to how clean it was and how many stalls they had in there wow stalls that

41:00

locked privacy yeah for guys we all know how terrible it is to have to poop in our restrooms because the stall locks were always broken anyway we little candle shut off the lights looked into the mirror and said her name three times very slowly at first nothing happened but after a few minutes of giggling I screamed which caused everyone else to scream and run out when we got outside I had a scratch on my arm it didn't break skin and there was no bleeding but it was enough to scare the [ __ ] out of all of us we were terrified the following day the five of us met up during lunch and talked about what happened we vowed we would never say that name again or even go into that same restroom anymore which that part was easy for me later that afternoon Amanda came back into the classroom from the bathroom break crying and upset when the teacher asked what had happened she said that Bloody Mary had been written on the girl's restroom mirror in a different bathroom our teacher passed it on as a mean joke and

42:00

comforted Amanda but the next day Brenda came to class with her mom her mom told the teacher that somebody had written Bloody Mary on Brenda's bedroom window from the outside Brenda told us that she woke up to get ready for school and screamed when she saw what was written on her window oh and to feel like you're the one person out of the whole group that's targeted by Bloody Mary even though you all did it together and you thought you were okay but it's not just Brenda it was cuz the first one was in the bathroom at school Brenda now at the window at home oh okay so it's everyone in this group it's a very Final Destination sort of situation and kind of like scream like the bad guy attacking this group of friends mhm our teacher and principal decided to talk to our little group and asked what happened we told them everything from sneaking into the bathroom after school to the scratch I got on my arm I'm pretty sure they didn't believe us I mean we were fifth graders and the thought of a spirit haunting us and riding on mirrors and windows was pretty farfetched but it was still enough for our teacher to send our entire class home with

43:00

letters to our parents about the incident their investigation and their assurance that they were doing everything that they could to make sure the students were not in danger so there they wrote letters about their investigation into the kids paranormal investigation yes everyone's investigating here I would love to see that letter like I want to see what it says after that conversation nothing else happened and after the year ended we all split up some of us went to one Middle School While others went to another but we'd keep in touch and talk about what happened in fifth grade fast forward 12 years later and thanks to social media we all reconnected and of course the first thing we talked about was this experience well my dearest Brenda Amanda Sylvia and Heather I was Bloody Mary when we were in the restroom with all of the lights off I scratched my own arm and acted out the performance of my life I went on a bathroom break during class and went into another restroom and

44:00

wrote Bloody Mary on the mirror I also snuck out in the middle of the night and wrote on Brenda's window because we were neighbors it was all me I thought it was funny it was October I was filled with the Halloween spirit so Brenda Amanda Sylvia and Heather I officially apologize and hope we can finally put this mystery to rest love bloody Joey oh my gosh it's just as good as the first time I know ah it's such I want to know Joey when you decided that this was going to be a prank was it once you were already in the room and all the lights were off and you were like nothing's happening should I just scratch myself and then it just kind of was a waterfall trickle effect after that or was this planned how premeditated was Bloody Joey bloody Joey I so badly want to hear from Brenda Heather Amanda and Sylvia like please email us for how how long did those girls think that Bloody Mary was truly

45:00

coming from them how many people did they tell the story to how did it affect their view of the Paranormal like were they ever questioning like is it someone within the group or did they wholeheartedly think Bloody Mary was after them Joey how did they respond to you are you friends did they forgive you my question is though did Joey actually when they reconnected on Facebook and everything did Joey actually admit to it or is the admitt this email because right in the email Joey says so I officially confess Joey confessed to us not to them I mean Joey did you send them the podcast episode where we originally read yours like oh interesting story at the end of this we need to know more also this is a great call to action if you were ever Bloody Mary or if you were ever the ghost the spirit haunting people who were so convinced there was a paranormal encounter happening please tell us I really I think we could do a whole episode just with that and we don't

46:00

judge you we understand there is a fun spirit in pranking people and pretending they're part of the fun that's why Halloween I feel like the whole month of October kind of has this energy where it's like equal parts is it real is it not is this just for fun or am I truly terrified for my life that's the beauty of ghost stories why can't it all exist at once it does right here on this podcast it does you're right we hope you enjoyed the retelling of some of our favorite encounters we will do a part two because it was hard to pick I like truly was battling myself right trying to pick just two to read so we should do
