Wait, before we do this, does anyone in the chat know what this place is? Because it is my background and I have zero recollection of choosing this photo. It's spooky. But you said you didn't choose it. I don't remember choosing it. Okay.

Halloween mood setting

Just no background. Yep. Boom. Hello. Hello. I am going to have my computer up here so that I can admit people and uh we can also read the chat here. Great. And then I'll be able to have the controls to uh bring people up to share their ghost stories. But it is Halloween

That's right. Um although you should remember that I literally scheduled that last night to come out audio wise. We uh didn't talk about the studio though in that episode. We just talked about it in the one that came out Sunday. Um but this Kimire stories. Hello. Howdy. What's up? How do you do? Uh can people hear us? I hope so. Can they not? Hello. I think so. I think. No. Yeah. Yeah. cuz I was asking what is this background and no I saw people commenting uh so at 8:15

2:00

other people will join other people the others the others

Lighting and vibe

uh so until they join why don't we start with a ghost story yeah and I'm going to I'm going to set the mood a little bit I feel like these lights are really bright oh should we put a light on and I feel like where's the colors. We can go bare minimum. Where are the color titles? Maybe whatever. Oh, there they've got to be. Oh, I got them. You take that box off. Where's the Oh, it might be on the other one. Wait, no, I can see. No, but it's the Where's the little It's gonna take a second. Is it not on that? No.

3:00

Now I'm blindfitting the professional professional of us. People are probably sitting the way. Sorry weird. This is too bright. Oh yeah. Cool. Very moody. There we go. Right in my eyes, but that's okay. Okay. Let me put it Let me put it down. I'll sacrifice myself. No, I like it's It looks good. It's fine. No, no, that gets rid of it. It doesn't get rid of it. It just makes you less less intense. No, let's look like that. You want to look like that? You're going to be red, too. Sit down. Sit down. I was just thinking aesthetics wise for the sake of it

4:00

living on. Yeah, it's Halloween. Okay. Spooky. Look at this vibe in here. Um, okay. Okay. Who once reminding me of our friend Christina Cahill? Yeah. Uh, one time, this is like not an interesting story at all. I don't know why I'm telling it. One time we were uh at a taco place over on like the main drag in Santa Monica, like across from the beach, and there was one singular red light on in the restaurant, and it only shown on her, so the whole table was normal colored, and she was completely red. It's a spotlight. Spooky light. Spooky light. Spooky scary

How to join the campfire

stories. Um, okay. So, if people are new here, the way Campfire Stories works, and I'm going to say this again once other people join in at 8:15, but the way Campfire Stories works is you get to come up here and share your ghost story and we'll listen to you and talk to you

5:00

and talk at you and back to you and respond to your ghost story. If you do have one, you can raise your hand by down on the bottom of the screen, there's like a react button, and there should be one that says hand raised or raised hand. And that's how you do it. That's how we roll. Look at all the hands raised. Look at all of them. Okay, I'm going to start with Birdie. We haven't heard from Birdie in a while. Birdie. Birdie. Birdie. I thought about Birdie when we were getting our tea leaves red because they saw a dragon in the tea leaves and now I think of birdie when I think of dragons. I always think of birdie when I think of dragons. I think about birdie often. What's birdie up too? Has birdie sent anyone our way? I know when you hear like little rustle in the winds. I'm not telling y'all when I send people your way because y'all get spooked. Sabrina doesn't get spooked. I get spooked. Yeah, y'all get spooked and then you're like

6:00

I don't tell y'all. I just people to check. Thank you. We appreciate it. We But you do. Here we have the shout out. Okay. Almost dropped jail. What's your ghost story today? Okay. So, I'm super excited because um another podcast that I listen to um can I drop the name here? Sure. Yeah. Okay. So, another podcast that I listen to is My Skeptical Sister. Now, I don't know if you've heard of it, but I really love them. They're awesome. Um, and one the the premise is one sister is a believer and one sister is not. Wow. And then they tell each other ghost stories and

7:00

the skept is all like, "Yeah, it was a ghost." And then the skeptical sister is like, "No, it was a baby Bigfoot. Carbon monoxide. You have a squatter. Oh, I like this. I like provided. Yeah, they're they're they're funny and they're um in uh Kentucky. Yeah, they're in Kentucky. They're super funny. Love them. Anyway, I was super

Birdie's vanishing items

excited because I this week got um I stumped the skeptical sister. She could not debunk me. What did Wait, what did you send? So, I'm going to tell you the story right now, but basically, um, the veil is thin, y'all. My house is active and it's mostly directed at my wife

8:00

and she has had to hear. There was about there was about like a week and a half a two week um um period where Yeah. poor Mrs. Birdie, she's so mad sometimes. So there was about a week and a half where literally every day they would take something of hers and then we would spend three to four days searching for that thing before it showed back up. And typically it would only show back up after she had asked out loud for it. Right. So the most recent one, the one that stumped Megan, the skeptical sister, was um we were in the dining room. I was getting orders ready and Susan had come

9:00

in to um go out the back door to smoke. So basically I was like she was like over here right and then I was in this corner and I was over here in this corner. So we're straight across like we're one line. We did not move from that spot. Okay. She took her cigarette out of the case. She told me what she was telling me. I responded. And then when she gets done, she looks down. She's like, "Babe, where's my cigarette?" And I was like, "I don't know, bro. Like, maybe you put it back in the case." And she was like, "Nope, already looked not there." And I was like, "Okay, well, maybe it's on the

10:00

table somewhere." She looks all over the table. Not there. I was like, "Maybe you dropped it and you kicked it under the table." Like, so she looks She gets down on her knees and looks under the table. Not there. Is it like we must like I want to like curl my toes. I just feel like we're like something we shouldn't be experiencing has just happened. Well, also if if it hadn't kept happening, I would have been like, is this some weird glitch in the Matrix? But the fact that she was targeted so many times and like this is just one of the examples. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like this was just the most recent one, right? Do you have a theory? Who litha just asked question? They've already told me. She doesn't want to hear it, but they've already told me. We want to hear it. Yeah, we do. Okay. So, you know, I'm connected to

11:00

spirits and I can I communicate with them in a number of ways. And they communicate with me and I I I can I can perceive that information that they give me, right? She cannot, right? She She's had a spirit following her for over a year that she has not connected to. And I've mentioned telling her, I've mentioned, you know, you should try talking to them. You should try blah blah blah. And she's like, I talked to them. They don't want to talk to me. And I'm like, but they and they're clearly trying to get her. Exactly. And they she can't perceive it when they talk to her like they talk to me. So one thing that they can do that she cannot refute is taking her stuff. Yeah. So they do regularly.

12:00

Yeah. And like what what does she have to say to that? Like she can't deny what's happening in front of her. Oh. Um the at this point in the beginning she was like no no no like don't don't hear two beats and think zebras right cuz we're in America. It's it's a horse. It's probably a horse at this point. She's like they're [ __ ] with me. They hate me. I don't know what it is. Tell them stop. Talk to your people. Talk to your people.

The spirit altar experience

Okay. So what happened? Well, um, 3 days later, I come home and we've been married 3 years, but she still greets me like, "My wife." And so I come in to the house and she comes out of the dining room and she's like, "My wife." And I'm like, "My wife." Did you hear that? Cuz she just yelled it from the bedroom.

13:00

So funny. Hear it. So cute. But I was like, she's like, "Well, I found a cigarette." I was like, "Oh." She's like, "Yeah, would you like to guess where?" I was like, "Would you like to tell me? It's been a long day." So, she shows she takes me into the dining room where we were. Remember, I'm she's in this corner. I'm directly straight line across from her in this corner. The cigarette is diagonally across the room from where she was standing under the spirit altar. I just got chills. But like in a good way. In a good way. I love that. They're like so be more obvious. It also feels like the spirits are like, "We love your altar and we are like showing up because

14:00

of this." Yeah, definitely. They love the altar. They will tell me what they want on the altar. Um there's everything on that altar from a stuffed animal to at one point um my daughter had one of her neighborhood friends over and um what's it called? We were making candles and her friend was interested in the spirits because she went over and she touched it and I was like, "Don't touch my stone." And then I was like, and then my daughter, of course, she was like, "Hey, uh, so that's the spirit altar. You might want to ask first." And she was like, "Wait, what? And I was like, it's fine. Nobody lost their minds. However, they would like an offering. I was going to mention like

15:00

fruit, but what came out of my mouth was wax. And I was like, really wax? And they were like, yes, like wax or candles. Well, we were working with beeswax at the time, making candles. My bad. I'm almost done. Oh, you glitched out. You totally glitched. Welcome to the math house. Um, at least you haven't heard whispers. I've had people um my sister said something smart to me while she was on the phone in the beginning of my spiriting journey and on her end what she heard was well that's creepy. Yeah, that's super

16:00

creep. They they like to mess with us. Like, do you do you feel like you ever have a moment to yourself without spirits around you? I'm When I go to the bathroom, I feel like though you've told us times where the ghosts do not leave you alone in the bathroom. What? There are times when I go to the bathroom and I am alone because they're like, "We do not need to learn about that human experience. Thank you very much." And I'm like, "Fair alone. Appreciate." Yeah. But but I I don't feel like I'm ever alone. Even when they're not in my physical presence, they're in my head. Right. Yeah. Right. My god. Yeah. Like whenever I send them to help

17:00

people, like sometimes when they're with like like when they were with Litha. Mhm. I would still get images of things around Litho's house. Like they're connected to you. Yeah. But you just reminded me you sent me an email of like what they had seen in my house and I had just moved in and I hadn't really unpacked anything. So I was like I wonder if they're kind of seeing I don't believe people who disagree with me.

Spirits visiting others

He wants to put muted just a reminder to everyone to stay muted. But I know it happens accidentally, but to stay muted while um until we call you up. Yeah, but they have literally like there was one day when the hellhound puppies

18:00

were with Litha and they were in her car and they literally told me, "Hey, she has like something like a big black something in here." And I'm like, why do I need to know that? She was like, oh yeah, we had the Yeah, she was like, oh yeah, we had the big bags with the stuff from where we were remodeling the house. And I was like again, why do I need to know that? Love it. I love that the hell hounds went to visit Litha as if she doesn't have her hands full with her own dogs. Yeah, they they love her. The hell hounds love her. The dragons love her. I Well, Birdie, what episode of the Skeptic Sister was the story on for people to listen to? It is the newest one. It's the most recent one. Like, it was just it was just dropped yesterday.

19:00

Oh, okay. Well, thank you for sharing with us. We'll have to all check that out. Have a good night. Oh, I meant to say that all of these stories, the most recent one, the good ones, are thanks to you guys. Because before I started listening to you and getting into the group, my wife and I had an agreement. I will fight anything for her. I will fight anyone for her, but if it's a ghost, I'll be in the car. You've got 5 seconds. Knees to chest, [ __ ] I'm obsessed. Love it. Thank you, Birdie. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Bye. I know Birdie's sending people to or creatures to come check on us. Yeah. But I want Birdie, I'm requesting it one more time. I'm actually open to it. I want it. There there have actually been a few times where just like you

20:00

were saying like that you think about bird a lot. There's been a few times where like I'm hearing movement in the house and I want and in my head I'm like I wonder if it's someone from Birdie that is checking on things like just Well, she does but she hasn't like told she doesn't tell us when she's un like there's been a few times where I'm like someone's creeping around but they don't mean to be but it doesn't feel bad but they also are like trying to be hidden and it makes me think like I wonder if it's one of Bird's dragons or like interesting. Yeah, something just let us know it's okay. Anyway, hello. I feel like we've had

Welcoming new listeners

quite a few people join us since this evening has started. So, I would like to say hello and welcome to everyone who's joining Campfire Stories for the first time or perhaps used to be a Patreon member or used to listen to the old Campfire Stories before it was on Patreon behind the payw wall. Um, we really wanted to say hello and happy almost Halloween. And in order to

21:00

celebrate, host a campfire stories for everyone. If you came late or if perhaps you have to leave early, it is going to be available to rewatch on YouTube uh after I'll probably upload it within the like first two hours after we wrap up tonight. Um this is Campfire Stories. We are coming to you live from our new podcast studio. Um, which I need to add something to the studio that I purchased a few years ago from Etsy. What is it? And I went digging in my boxes in the basement, but then I got too scared to spend more than 5 minutes looking. So, I'll look another time. You know how like when you go to the bathroom in certain places, it'll say like WC, like water closet. Yeah. I have one that looks exactly like that, but it says beware of ghosts. And I want to put it above our doors. Above the doors. Yeah, that's such a good idea. Yeah. But I I got to find it. I also have this little like witchy hand knocker I can bring. That's interesting. Yeah, I bought it from a shop in Salem

22:00

from the uh Okay. Peabody Museum. Little shop. Peody. Peabody. I'm really bad at saying some of the Massachusetts words. Me, too. Anyway, um campfire stories. We invite you all to share your ghost stories with us. Uh if you have a ghost story that you'd like to share with us, there's a at the bottom of the Zoom there's a react tab. And if you press the hand raise, that will signify to us on our end that there are people who want to share a story. That being said, I did see that someone had a story about Hold on. Where is it? So, I'm watching Noah on the baby monitor right now. I don't know if anyone else has. I think this is a common baby experience, but when they like wake up and they try to get themselves back to sleep, they do this thing like a whale tail where he like picks his legs up and just slams them back down. Oh. And he keeps slamming them. So intense. When he was in his bassinet

23:00

before, I loved it cuz I had to hear it and I'd look over and I'd see his little toes like pointed so the basset and just like throw them back down. Yeah.

Kayla's skinwalker dreams

Okay, I'm gonna bring up Kayla. and then we'll go from there. We're we're trying to go spooky scary. It's Halloween. Is that the one for the skin walkers? Hello. Hi. Wait, why can't we I'm trying to add spotlight. Oh, there you go. Oh my god. Can you see me? Yeah. Hi. Hi. I love both of you. My It's my husband's story, so he's gonna tell it. What if he came on here and you were like, "I love one of you." No, I'm the one who listens to it and I don't have any stories. And he was saying that he had one. Oh, what's your story? Um, so there was one night I was heading back from my

24:00

buddy's house and I was on my bike and I looked over for a split second cuz I thought I saw a all black figure with yellow eyes and it really freaked me out. So I stopped my bike and I called my buddy right away and I'm like, "Hey man, this is what I saw." Like I'm really freaked. I'm starting to shake a little bit thinking about it. Um, you saw this thing and then you stopped your bike near this thing to then call your friend. Just stopped like after it kind of just cuz like it just freaked me out. Um, just riding. And to carry on to like a couple nights later, um I had a dream that I was in my room and this figure like was in my closet and it just jumped at me and I woke up from it and it ended up happening again like a night or two later. I was at my mom's house

25:00

and it was the same ordeal. I like walked in down her hallway a little bit like into her room and the figure was in her closet and then it launched like over their bed and at me again. Um, stop. No. And then it happened again. I was at my dad's house this time and I the way our rooms were. I was right across from my dad's room and I woke up and it was in his room and then it jumped at me like I was like this was I was a dream. All these were dreams but it was repetitive. It happened my grandparents house. It was like over and over. I had like six or seven of these dreams of this same figure that jumped out at me. I didn't know what it was. And you know, Ghost Adventures with Zack Baggins and everything. Um, I've watched

26:00

probably every episode a thousand times and he released one that was on Amazon Prime and I started it and it was all about skin walkers and I had to turn it off because they start talking about people's experiences and whatever else and the they show a figure, a tall black figure with yellow eyes and it freaked me out to where I I couldn't watch it and I don't think I've watched Ghost Adventure sense. And I was When did we go see it? Was supposed to have skinwalkers in it. So, I took him to go see the Sammon KBY movie that just came out. Um, and I didn't know that it was about skinwalkers cuz like he didn't know what the figure was um until he saw the Ghost Adventures episode and it was all skinwalkers. And then my little sister and I, we used to watch Sam and Colby. So, she went to go see the movie on her own um and said it was pretty good. So,

27:00

I took him to go see it um not knowing anything about what it was about. And I almost didn't go cuz I don't It's like I like right now I have the goosebumps and I'm shaking. I don't like talking about it. Yeah. I um looked it up after I bought the tickets. So, I bought us tickets and then I looked it up the day of and somebody said I would need therapy after that. Um, I looked it up and it was about skin walkers and I texted him and I was like, "Do you want to go?" Um, and he said no all day and then he decided

Banishment and protection

that we would go and um it didn't really freak him out. They did like have a couple pictures of what he saw like just as like kind of B-roll, but um you said that like anytime it gets brought up or whatever, he typically has a dream about it again. So, I was gonna I don't know. And also, not to freak you out more, but like the thing with we'll call them flesh pedestrians because

28:00

people refer to them as that sometimes because you're not really supposed to like talking about them gives them power or talk about them kind of draws them to you. Not to freak you out more. When Okay. When did the first incident happen though when you were biking? How long ago was that? Uh, this was probably a year two years ago. When the last time you had the dream? Um, it's been probably eight months since the last one I've ever had. And it just kind of like random times, but it's always the same thing over and over, just different places. It'll like I'll see it and then it'll lunge at me and then I'll wake up. I'm sorry. Like I don't know what to say. It's like what? What? because it's like a paranormal creature basically. So, it's like this sort of hybrid of it's not just like your typical ghost story

29:00

where you can be like, "Oh, here are some things to help protect you." I was going to say, should we do a collective like gather the troops of TG energy to send to banish this thing from your life? Should we try it? Do some witchcraft? I don't I don't know. I mean it's if I don't talk about it and I don't think about it, it don't come up. Okay. Well, then yeah, maybe we don't talk about it. But if I'm not though after talking about it if you'll have the dream. Um I don't think because that movie we went and saw was like a couple weeks ago and I didn't have one. But yeah, it would hope that you saying that you don't think so doesn't jinx you. I hope not. I've staged him a couple times. Yeah. Yeah. She staged our house and I was playing video games in the office and she comes over by my face. Well, I was really nervous because we

30:00

just moved into this house and this is like the one house that he hasn't had the dream in yet. And I was like, I just No, we're going to prevent it. House of like protective spirits and good energy and nothing is allowed. Yeah, I tried. Sounds like it's working. Yeah, which is great. But that's a very terrifying thing to experience, especially when you're alone riding on a bike. Yeah, it was in the dark. I didn't even know if it was real or not. And then after I had the dream, I was like, "Okay, there was something." Jeez, it's so wild. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that you watched that episode, too. could like understand what you That's true. had seen kind of like put a name what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for letting me share though.

31:00

Well, we hope you never experience it again. Me too. Kayla, I'm glad that you haven't had any experiences. That's I guess that's a positive thing. Yeah, I think so. But thank you for listening. Thanks for joining us tonight. Yeah, thanks for having us. Have a good one. Happy Halloween. Have a good night. Happy Halloween. Bye. Okay. There was one moment where they were talking about it where like I had leaned this way and past where people can't see there's a window and when I had leaned this way, I started seeing the reflection of the candle light that's over in the corner over there. But I didn't realize that. And I thought it was the glowing yellow eye. And I like almost horrifying. Yeah. Should we bring Spven over?

Holly's asylum experience

a lot of effort. I can tell the camera. I'll just put him right here. Um, okay. We're going to bring up Holly and then I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing your name. Uru

32:00

Uuru. I'm sorry. I'm so curious what how it's actually pronounced. U Ru. I hope. I'm sorry. I don't want to. Please correct us if we say your name incorrectly. Okay. But Holly will bring you up. I make host accidentally. You're in control now. That's the real horror. Hello. Hello. Hi. Hi, Holly. How are you? I'm good. We're good. Where are you calling in from right now? Oh, wait. We can't hear you. Are you muted? Oh no. What's going on? There we go. Oh yeah, perfect. I am currently calling in from Knoxville, Tennessee. Uh I actually just shared a little ghost story on y'all's Facebook page. I actually shared the pictures with it. So um

33:00

yeah, that one was kind of crazy. Uh it was a not supposed to be there type deal. So, it's one of those ones you have to like sink into. But me being curiosity killed a cat. So, I went um I'm gonna give you a short brief one though. Um so, I lost my mom a year ago. And uh I've been kind of like sensitive to spirits since I was a little girl. And uh when I lost my mom, that kind of went away for a little while. They say grief gets in the way of your senses and stuff like that. So my dad brings my mom's ashes down to me this weekend. And this weekend was the first time in a long time that I actually felt my mom. A so it was more of those uh feelings of hey I'm okay, you know? Um I'm okay. So that kind of freaked me out a little bit. I'm going to lie.

34:00

A but uh yeah. So uh the Lakeshore Hospital. Have y'all ever heard of that one? No. Okay. So, it was actually an asylum down in Knoxville, Tennessee. Um, I can't remember when it was actually like opened up, but I'm pretty sure it opened up in like the n maybe 1900s, I want to say somewhere around in there. It was a very old hospital. They actually had one part that had actually burned down. So they rebuilt another one, made it bigger for people that had like tuberculosis, stuff like that, the mentally insane. Um, you know, things like that. So a group of friends of mine, we took and went in to this hospital and uh so like when we go in, my mom was with us and she kept taunting them. I was like, "Don't do that. They don't like it when you do that. Don't do that." Needless to say, my mom got pushed for

35:00

um I ended up in a children's ward and uh I don't know if y'all seen the p the pictures I posted on y'all's Facebook, but I'm kneeling down and at this time I'm four months pregnant with my son. So, I got this overwhelming feeling of like dread, sadness, um almost like a kid attached it little hands around me. Oh. Uh, come to find out, I ended up in one of the rooms that had actually had uh some of the paperwork left there. And come out come to find out it was a little boy named uh Timothy. He had been left there when he was three years old. Um he had Down syndrome and apparently um apparently in this hospital they did shock therapy and he was actually one of the kids that they did shock therapy on. This is horrific. Yeah. So uh

36:00

not too spooky, but it was pretty scary. There was actually one room that it said do not go into. I think it was like 12:02 or something. Yeah. I never found it. And I think there was a reason behind that. I was probably not meant to find that room. Probably not. Yeah, it was probably like a They said that they have seen what they call like a big dark tall mass figure in there. So, of course, I went searching for it, but I never found it. Yeah. So, you know, I do like to think that Timothy just found some type of like comfort in you and maybe was just wanting to felt safe around you. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't like a bad feeling or anything, but we did get I wish I still had the EDP because I I so would have posted the EDP to it, but due to moving numerous times and stuff like that, I've lost all that. Um, it said something about mommy. I want my mommy. Oh man. And I don't know if it was because I was

37:00

and it could have been because I was I was like four and a half months pregnant with my son at the time. So I don't know if maybe it was because I was a pregnant I was pregnant and it just felt that moment instinct with me. Um I'll tell you right now that's one of those things that I just didn't want I didn't want to leave them there but I knew I had to because I I can't have things like that following me home. You know what I mean? So, but yeah, that's my ghost story.

Full moon discussion

Thank you so much for sharing. Yeah, you're very welcome and keep up the good work, girls. Thank you. Thank you. Have a great night. You're welcome. You, too, honey. I was gonna say I don't think she needed to find the other things she was looking for because there was a shirt heard a lot that found her. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. I Okay, this this actually reminds me a lot of that story and I'm not going to remember when we read it, but a listener was like had a young son who said like a kid kept playing in his

closet and then like was ringing the doorbell and stuff and then a couple years later a younger brother was born and he was like like before you were born you used to play in my closet. Do you remember that story? It was like vaguely basically like he was haunted by the younger brother that wasn't born yet. And it makes me wonder like if in that experience in Holly's experience like yes it's maybe it's Timothy saying like I want my mommy but what if it's also like the spirit of her son communicating oh to her and in a spooky setting where you want the comfort of your mom anyway. Or maybe it's just like the energy there allowed her son to come through and say something. I'm gonna close this window. I'm scared. I got to tuck the blinds in. Too dark of a night.

39:00

Isn't that like a full moon on Halloween or something? Is it? I don't know. Feel like it was just a full moon. I felt like But Alisa Kelly posted something about like a moon on Halloween or right around Halloween and I wasn't sure if it was a full moon or what. Let's see. When's the next full moon? Um, no. The next one is not expected until 2039. A full moon on Halloween. Oh, the next full moon. I was like, that is not right. Let's see. Next full moon. 2039. The next full moon. You heard it here. Just going to keep skipping. Friday, November 15th is the next full moon. Okay. Um, but that would be spooky. Mark your calendars. Halloween of 2039, we get a full moon. Oh my god, I just said such a dark thought. I was like, I'm alive. I hope it's just that long. Hope it's not that far off.

40:00

Oh my god. I hope so, too. I hope so, too. Okay. Uh, I'm not gonna

Uhuru's smoky orb encounter

butcher your name again, but I'm gonna bring you up and ask you to share how to say your name. Oh, hi. Hello. Um, it's it's pronounced Yuhuru. It's really hard for people to say. Well, nice to meet you. Thank you. Um, so my story is pretty fast. Um, it happened like I don't know in 2016 and I was staying at a friend's house like kind of on a stop on a really long road trip and I stayed up really late by myself in their living room and I will just disclaimer say I was like a huge pthead at the time. So, I was definitely stoned and just minding my mis business drawing. Um,

41:00

and the couch was like positioned facing the TV and then to my right was like a small stairwell and then a landing and then the like hallway went off and you like couldn't see the hallway, you know? Um, and for some reason I just felt like I needed to look over to my right and I'm like getting nervous talking about it because it was such a like one of those things where like you question it for a second and then you're like there's no way that that this isn't happening cuz I've never experienced something so intensely real, you know? Um, but I looked over and there was like out of the hallway came this like big floating orb of like black and gray smoke and it was really scary. It was like probably like I don't know

42:00

8 feet wide or something high. It was really big. It was huge. It like took up the whole landing pretty much. And I like recogniz like when I kind of like accepted that it was real and that I was seeing it and acknowledged it. I felt it like make a mental connection with me and felt it acknowledge me acknowledging it. This feels like the arrival when she's talking to the like alien species. You're the chosen one that just like has this connection. But this seems like way more menacing and dark. Yeah, it was not good. I was like not happy about it. Also, this was at like 3:30 in the morning. Of course, it was like don't stay awake past 900 p.m. I don't smoke weed anymore and I don't stay up late because I'm a baby. So, but I felt it acknowledge me and it like

43:00

rotated. It had no face, but you could see it like move, you know, and then it like um kind of started moving towards me and it like got to the top of the stairs and I just like thought really loud in my head like, "No, don't come any closer. Like, I'm not inviting any further interaction with you." and I'm like only a positive being and I don't want you close to me. And it just like dissipated into nothing but it was like and so then I turned the TV off and I just went to bed just happened. Um so yeah. Yeah. Although I feel like this is kind of like a common thing where I think maybe like your body just kind of Yeah. You shut down. You give up after that. You're like, "Oh, that was a lot of work." Yeah. I mean, I just was like, it's gone now,

44:00

I think. And what else was I going to do about it? You're not going to go look for it. You're I'm not going to look for it. It's not my house, so I'm not going to like go into everybody's rooms. I'm not gonna, you know, I just was like, time to go to bed, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you haven't seen it since. That's terrifying. Yeah. I had been wanting to like share the story for a long time and I think maybe on some long ago episode of you guys' or on a different paranormal podcast, somebody had told some story about some creepy smoky thing and I was like, "Oh my god, that's so similar." So my mom, that's my story. My mom woke up because our go the ghost dog in our house had jumped up on the bed, but she thought it was our dog and she was comforting the dog and then well like realized it was the ghost dog, but looked up and there

45:00

was this big black like gaseous mass coming through the hallway down to her bed and then she said, "Get out." And pointed and then it like crept away and dissipated. your mom's. Yeah, that's kind of my go-to. Like in the moment, if I feel anything or see anything, I'm just like, "No, no, no, no." Yeah. A little You got to for yourself in that moment.

Dealing with the encounter

Yeah. If only I was that good at saying no to people in real life and not just to ghosts. But practice on the spirit world. Yeah. Small steps. Well, thank you so much. Yeah. Thanks guys. Have a great night. Good night. Um I feel like that's actually a common type of story where because it also makes me think of one of our listeners had like was sleeping on the couch and there was like a dark misty shadowy

46:00

figure coming from the garage. And I feel like that's just like a common theme. It's something misty and dark and shadowy and large and looming and it and like even though it doesn't have a face or eyes, it somehow acknowledges you and it looks like it's looking or it feels like it's looking into your soul. It's creepy, too, cuz like my mom's hers was like it was smoky like it was like this its own entity. It was almost like a cloud like it wasn't like floating on the ground or something like it didn't look like it was just hovering. It was up high. It's like it's like traveling through some type of paranormal dimension in totally. It just reminds me of the fart cloud from Rick and Morty. Of course. Kind of what it is. Of course. I love this vibe that we have right now. I know. But I think it's freaking me out. Like if we recorded like this all the time, it would really scare me. I agree. Cuz there's something a little bit panicky in my body right now. And I

47:00

think we'd be opening ourselves up tomorrow because we wouldn't be as relaxed, right? We like this is setting an unsettling energy. So, you all may be witness to us getting haunted tonight. Right. Right. Um, okay. Also, if people are wondering what I'm doing, I'm just picking hair off of the bottom of my socks cuz I'm going bald and I lose probably 300 pieces of hair dye. So, I just track it around. You don't look like you're balding. I do. You do. I do. I see it in photos. My hairline's gone. But to like me, like it doesn't look like you don't look bald to me. You know what I'm going to start doing? What? Just for one week, I'm in a ziploc baggie. All the hair that just comes out the shower. Not even what I lose throughout the house. I'm going to show you how much it is. I'm sure it's a lot. Yeah. But And then we can make bangs. Lip on bangs. And you bangs, too, if you want. Okay. We can make bangs. Bangs for everyone. Who wants bangs? I have enough for everyone.

Jana's hotel phone mystery

48:00

Okay, I'm going to bring up let's see, Jana, and then we'll see who we have time for after that. I also hope I said your name correctly. Hopefully, you weren't in the bathroom when I said I'm going to bring you up. That is such a nightmare that would be. Remember, oh my gosh. Hello. Hi. Hi. Um, okay. My camera's not working because I didn't give it the go ahead earlier, I guess. Um, but hi. This is my first campfire stories. Oh, welcome. Thank you. This is so cool and crazy. Um, yeah. So, I'm joining from uh Washington DC area. Um, but and my story is pretty quick, but it just happened this past week. Um, when I was in Los Angeles, uh, for an acquisition for my work, um, I was listening to you guys in

49:00

my hotel room without AirPods in, um, which was my mistake. Um, but I was listening to your guys' episode that you guys just put out um, last week or the week before and you like put the warning thing at the top that was like, "Hey, just so you know, like we like had some weird experiences after this one. Um, so be careful where you listen." And I was like, "Oh, great. Cool. Whatever." Like I'm in a hotel and not in my house, so that's great. Um, and then in the hotel that night, we were going to be getting up early to go to one of the locations to start onboarding new employees and stuff. And so I was supposed to be getting up kind of early. I think we were going to be on location at like 6 o'clock. Um, and so I'd set my alarm on my phone for like 5. Um, and at 4:00 in the morning, the telephone starts making these weird sounds and just starts like blaring the speaker phone and like the dial tone like just like and I took a video of it because it happened four times. Um, so

50:00

it just did it and I got out of bed. I pressed it off. I listened to the like put the phone in my ear and there was nothing. And I was like, "Okay, that's weird." Like that's not a wakeup call. Like normally if you get a wakeup call, they'll call you and be like, "Hello, good morning." And like this is your wakeup call. Hope you have a great day. Um, and so I clicked it off and I was like, "Okay, that was so weird. I don't know what that was." As soon as I sit down back in bed, it goes again. And then it starts making like And it's not just the dial tone sound. It's like it's the speakerphone button is on and it's lighting up and it's like and I was like, "Okay, what is and so I started videoing it." Um, I hit it again. I go sit down. It goes again. Um, all sorts of different patterns and stuff like that. Like it wasn't like a constant like a setting that you could put on a phone or anything like that. Um, finally I hit it. Just not working and then keep trying. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Like it wasn't

51:00

like the sound of a phone ringing. It was like a weird I don't know. It was so strange. I'd never heard a phone make that sound before. I finally hit it and it finally stopped and I stay up and then it stopped as like smacked it. Yeah, I hit it. I hit it and it and it stopped and and um I stayed out of bed. I stayed awake and it didn't go off again, which was weird. And then, sorry, my puppy's barking in the background. Um, and then, um, so we go to the acquisition that day. I get ready, we go, um, come home that night and get back to the hotel and the power has gone out on the hotel, on the whole block. Um, there's like some fires and stuff like that in California right now, but so we're in the Los Angeles area and the power goes out on this block at this hotel. And so, we're kind of waiting downstairs. I'm like, "Okay, it's like 10:00. I need to get to sleep because we've got an early flight." Um, so I just go up to the room. Uh, it's all dark in the hallways. I'm like, "I'm not going to look in the mirrors. I'm just going to sleep in my makeup. Like,

52:00

whatever. It's not worth it." Um, and I just get into bed and I go to to put my AirPods in to go to sleep and I just feel like the hair on the back of my neck like not just not like the peeling the hair on the back of your neck stand up like felt like it was being lifted up on the back of my neck. Um, so I like like put it up in a ponytail so it couldn't feel like that again. And I was like, "No, no, no." And I put my back to the wall and I said, "No, no, no." Like nobody's welcome here. like nothing is welcome to be in my space like only love and light like you have to leave. Um and there wasn't anything for the rest of the night and I didn't feel spooky for the rest of the night. Um yeah podcast geez that is terrifying. Yeah, that is really that's like not what I thought you were going to say when you said you back your next Yeah, I've never had an experience before. Really? That was like my first one. Um, but yeah, that's crazy.

53:00

Yeah, that is freaky. Wow. And of course, thank you. Thank you guys. Who experienced this in LA when you live area, which is like riddled with ghosts. Sure. Yeah. That's why I moved out here. I was like, for for sure action out here. And I was living in um Springfield, Massachusetts before this. And I again, I never really had anything happen. All it takes is listening to our demon episodes. Turns out. Turns out. Thank you guys. Thank you. Have a good night.

Energy protection tips

Yeah, I guess you can create a haunting anywhere if you just listen to the right episode of our podcast. Katie said, "Relating to the story, I sett intentions before starting the Smurl episode. I never listened to any of the demon or possession episodes, but the Smurl one took place where my family is from, so I wanted to hear. So anyway, set intention, started listening, and after a few minutes, it went black and wouldn't replay even after I exited out of the app and restarted. So I took that as a sign. Someone else

54:00

said, I think it was on Patreon, someone said that it removed them from listening to our podcast and put on the religious podcast that they listen to. Like it just stop paused and jumped over. Oh my gosh. I can't remember who commented that, but yeah, the noise. There are a few people who I think have heard or have had experiences with the Smurl episode. Us included. Mhm. Also, this reminded me of remember when you were in a hotel and the phone kept ringing. It did remind me of that. Um, where was I? I was in Morristown, New Jersey. I had stayed at that hotel since Payne and I actually stayed there back in May. So, it was like probably like two years a after the first experience. And the second time nothing happened. But I was never alone in that room. And it only ever happened to me when I was alone in the hotel last time cuz the ghosts want you to be alone.

55:00

Horrifying. Um, okay. We have time for one last short story. Does anyone have send like a teaser in the chat of like what your ghost story is about and I will bring one last person up and then just so everyone knows if you came late or if you had to leave early uh this will be up on YouTube to rewatch at any time uh probably by the end of tonight. And if you would like to join Campfire Stories every week it is on Patreon. We'll probably do another one of these in the next couple of months or whatnot. um because it's so much fun. But it's

Alen's cemetery story

every Tuesday live on Patreon. Okay, we'll do one the next uh full moon, which is in 2038. Okay, I'm going to bring up 2039. Mark your calendars. The full moon and the next campire stories. Okay. Ali

56:00

Lane. Why? I'm picking everyone whose names are difficult, but I'm bringing you up. You want to hear the teaser? Do you want to be surprised? No, I want to hear the teaser. Okay. The time a ghost yeed a rock back at us in the cemetery. Oo, that's a good one. Like squinting my eyes trying to read the chat, but the chat on the screen isn't even updated. Oh my goodness. Hello. I didn't think that you were going to choose me. Okay. So, what's your name? My name is Alen. Alen. Alen. Amazing. She her. I know I have a deep voice. Sounds like a dude, but my voice is just deep. Okay. So, this was back in high school. I was a freshman in in high school. I was with a lot of my friends. We were doing a seance in the cemetery and we didn't know what we were doing. We sat in the middle of the cemetery. like um sidewalks that kind of like led to the grave sites and stuff like that.

57:00

We're in the center. We sat in a circle and my friends there uh they're all Hispanic and they, you know, they're all with the bruharia and all that stuff and they were telling me what to do. But little did you guys know, you know, we we smoked a little bit before we went. So, we were just all high, young, and dumb. Okay. So, we're all holding hands. They're all setting the intentions, telling me what to say and stuff like that. And then it just all goes quiet. We're sitting there, but we're facing outside towards the grave. So, if you imagine us in a circle holding hands, but not facing each other, facing out. Does that make sense? Oh, interesting. Wait, that's scary. Scary. That'd be terrifying. I didn't know. I just did what they told me to. I I was just high. I was like, "Okay, cool." So,

58:00

we start seeing like something in the background like wiggling like on top of like a uh lamp post and it was just like swinging back and forth. And then one of my friends that was sitting behind me, let's call him E, he grabs a rock and throws it towards whatever it was. It was like a shadow thing just wiggling like that. You couldn't even hear wind. It was like the sound just cut off. And then all of a sudden, we're all just sitting there. His sister's yelling at him because he let go of our hand. Like he let go of my hand. The circle. Yeah. He let go of my hand, threw the rock, and all of a sudden the rock came back and rolled towards it. like it came back, landed a couple like a foot away from his feet and rolled towards him. Stop. So then we all freak out. They're all saying, "Okay, we got to end it. We got to end it." And they're like, "What do we say?" And they're like, "I don't

59:00

know." And we just start running. So we start running. Okay. Me and E. Okay. Just imagine this. Just run. Yeah. So, you know, me and E are holding hands, running through the cemetery. I'm talking about just running through the cemetery trying to get back to the car and then we see a light. Okay. And it's shining towards us and it was a cop. Oh. So then we just drop down to the floor and we're just like sitting there all hyped up and stuff like that and then they're just like, "Oh, we're just here to check." because there been some vandalizing stuff going around in the cemetery. But the scary part is when we got back to the house. I know. So when we got back to the house, he was in the bathroom and he said that when he was showering and got out and he turned off the light, he turned around cuz he forgot to grab his phone on the counter,

1:00:00

the thing outside the window. He said he saw something waving outside of the window like this. And then that's when he had to get his aunt to basically do like a cleansing on him with the with the egg and some other stuff to get all that like bad ju guu off of him.

Closing the session

Yeah. Sorry that was all over the place. I'm a little nervous. I I didn't think you were going to call me. Horrifying. I'm so glad nothing happened to you. Yeah. I went back I went back and I uh told my mom and she took me to the temple the next day and we did a whole bunch of like praying and stuff like that. But yeah, it was it was creepy. And ever since then, their house has always had something like I don't know what they call it, but the little um I don't know if it's a duende, but those little little things that run around or whatever. Little whatever. Yeah, whatever it's called. He's they say they see him like just running around in their house like in the corners and just coming out and

1:01:00

stuff like that. But I' i've been trying to get my friends Husana and E to listen. So hopefully they can come in and tell their their stories of their house. Oh my gosh. Absolutely want to hear those. Yeah. Well, thank you for letting me on. Um I love you guys and I will definitely be doing the telling everybody to listen. I tell them, but not not a lot of people listen to podcasts, so I don't know. Okay. I have one last question for you. Yes. You ever done a seance in a cemetery since? No. No. Never. Never again. I don't know why, but we always did creepy stuff. I was Every time I was with them, it was always creepy. They always like want to do creepy stuff. And I was just like, "Okay." Because I we we just get together, smoke weed, and then go do creepy stuff. Well, because it's fun. It is. Yeah. We talked we talk about it now and we just look back and laugh cuz this was about like 14 years ago. Wow. I love that you're all friends still though. Oh yeah. Always. But yeah. Well, thank
