very spooky hello hey this is two girls one ghost two girls one ghost and these two girls are shivering yeah it's a chilly rainy day on the east coast and we're both in the Northeast your home in New Jersey I am at my home in Massachusetts and it it's [ __ ] cold out so it's C in too when I'm at my mom's I always say I'm home in New Jersey but she literally lives in Pennsylvania but she's not that far over the Border no she's literally a a Stones Throw a George Washington crossing the river's throw across the

1:00

the Border because Pennsylvania has never been home to me I just always say New Jersey well and it's like you see your family who lives in New Jersey like you see your brother and sister when you go home so it does feel that way yes but we are your ghostesses that's Karen I'm

A terminal fan's story

Sabrina and this is an encounters episode and if you two are shivering well we'll make you shiver for something more something a little bit spook here we're going to make you want to get in a warm bath and hide under your covers and it wow okay well hopefully that doesn't happen and if your house does burn to the ground no one is hurt no one's inside and it was no one's fault so you get that insurance claim you put a spin on it I was saying that you're so scared of your house that you burn it down yourself not that someone or something is burning it down but yes if it does burn down what it

2:00

does not actually you before I continue saying dark things I would like to acknowledge and Pat myself on the back that while one of the stories in this episode maybe is a little bit spooky I did pick a heartwarming one to end us on which okay to end we'll work our way into this lighter Story You've Gone against what you normally do for yourself well I did both you're just dabbling dabbling in the light I'm showing the duality of humanity of my Humanity today my intention behind the last story that I am going to end on was not to find a heartwarming story but when I read it I was like okay this is nice I'll read it I was looking for Darkness though when I found the light on your search into the dark you found some light that's beautiful okay this is sent in from a listener I have two incredible Ghost Encounters that happened directly to me and I swear on my life more on that later that it did happen I have told told many people these stories and I

3:00

want to share them with you while I can mostly as a gift to my wife Katrina Kate I really enjoy your podcast but Kate now she's a Super Fan she quickly blew through all of your episodes she is a patreon member she loves loves loves you too so if you bring my experiences to your show you can bet she will hear them and that's really my main motivation for sharing because I have terminal cancer oh and I could be the third ghost story you get out of this oh my gosh well

Ghostly pinch in Tombstone

thank you for letting us be your ghostly journal and you're more than welcome to come visit us in ghostly form yes okay first experience Tombstone yes that Tombstone the old cowboy town in South East Arizona amazing movie with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer so we visited during Halloween season because they have a yearly festival called doc holidays get it Val Kilmer's best role where the town has this big festival and they bring in bunch of tourists with it

4:00

we did three different ghost tours and this town had a lot of death in its day the first two tours focused on the town OK Corral booill graveyard and we Sav The Best For Last the infamous Bird Cage Theater It's featured prominently in the movie where all of the Cowboys would go and drink watch axe on the stage gamble downstairs and entertain themselves with the ladies in the private rooms sadly a lot of these poor women were victims of the worst of those cowboys and anyhow I really suggest that you look up The Bird Cage Theater Tombstone had a huge fire back in the 1880s that wiped out the entire town except for The Bird Cage Theater oh oh it survived and I think the main reason why well all the ghosts in the building saved it so that they could save it as their Refuge it was always considered haunted in fact it got so bad that the last owners just left it locked the doors got out of town and it was left empty for decades and when someone came back in there were still

5:00

bottles on the tables like nothing had been touched even the 100-year-old posters showcasing the interesting shows that they had had at the time those were still up it's an amazing tour for anyone going to Tombstone it was gorgeous back in its day and you can still see all of the bullet holes from the Rowdy Cowboys who would shoot into the ceiling when the shows got really good I can't even imagine living during that lifetime like that's I would never want to no it's too scary there's too many Hooligans with guns Hooligans you get to see the entire building including the creepy basement but the tour ends in the backstage of the theater the creepiest thing back there is the original Tombstone hearse it's an old Gothic style wagon that is all black with a big glass enclosure for the people Rich enough to have their coffin transported in it the tour ends with a seance in this scary local full of ghosts wait this is so cool it's so cool the door guide told us that most of

6:00

the ghosts are the show girls that did not survive their time in Tombstone yeah they all went through the same horrible things which is why they all stuck together and like I mentioned most likely they're the ones that Sav the theater from the town fire I should mention we were also the very last tour so by the time we did this Seance it was well after midnight not quite the witching hour but you could really feel it all Essences feelings that tingling on your back and on neck so feeling completely satisfied with our day of

Love you Mom

ghost tours we went back to our small hotel which was a very old home in the old west style so old that our room had two single beds no Tom Foolery in these beds you whippers Snappers so so we get to bed and here's when it gets good I'm laying on my side facing away from Kate's bed when I feel her sit down on the end of my bed by my feet I felt the bed compress under my calves as she OB obiously was feeling a little frisky and

7:00

came and sat down on the end of my bed so I coily smiled and I slowly rolled over to say hello when I saw that Kate was actually still sleeping in the bed across from me fast asleep my eyes got very large that pressure on the end of the bed yeah it was still there if anything it was more pronounced when I turned over so I did what anyone would do and I slowly turned on to my stomach and wondered what the hell I should do do I yell do I wake up Kate well I didn't want to disturb my spirit but it did have different ideas I felt the pressure crawling up my leg exactly like a finger running up my leg when it reached my tush and then they write it's extremely cute per my wife when they reached my cute tush I got a very distinct pinch I bit my lip but nothing else happened I had to guess it must have been one of those old show girls from the theater that took a shine to me appreciated my fine darier not that I could blame

8:00

her I told Kate first thing in the morning and she was quite upset that she didn't get an encounter but happy nonetheless but the whole experience just has to be one of the better ghostly experiences yeah Second Story this one's

Terminal cancer near-death

titled love you Mom this one's shorter but it's even sweeter and Kate was in the car when it happened my mom died very Suddenly at the age of 49 I may have been one of the last people to talk to her that day before it happened I called her to get a recipe of strawberry frosting my mom was an amazing Chef her Christmas cookies they were legendary she sounded quite sick and really stuffed up but she did give me the recipe and I thanked her I told her to go get some rest and honestly I hope I said love you mom before I hung up but I can't really be positive I never dreamed it would be the last time that I would talk to her my dad found her the next morning she had passed in the night no one knew how sick she was and she had an absolute fear of going to the doctor when it came to her kids though if we had a sniffle we were bundled off off and sent to the doctor's office

9:00

immediately but for her she would only call and ask to get medications over the phone a tragic death that could have been avoided so easily and that is what haunted me that's s that is until her funeral we had the service at the church and then the burial at the cemetery we got back to our car and I was naturally feeling how people feel when they're at their mother's funeral and so Kate was driving then my cell phone rang and I should point out that this was 20 years ago and I had the old Dependable unbreakable no keyop phone yeah for the listeners not old enough to know noia phones they were simple phones with almost no features other than being crazy strong unbreakable independable didn't we call them bricks I feel like we were always like the Nokia brick or something like that and they had snake they did so fun that was fun you could run one over and still make a call no joke anyhow I had never had any issues with this phone but here at the cemeter it started ringing at full volume vibrating at full strength the old pixelated scream was going nuts and none

10:00

of the buttons would respond I stared at Kate and she just said I see it too also wide-eyed I worked at a cell phone booth so I knew to override it I would have to just hold down the power for 5 seconds and then it would reboot so I tried that but nope didn't work none of the buttons did and then the speaker turned on and it wasn't the static that you might normally hear with a bad connection it was static like but kept fading in and out and then we heard a woman's voice Tracy Tracy it was faint but we both heard it Tracy well that's my oldest sister she and my mom were often on the outs with each other usually because Tracy was well let's just say headstrong about her opinions she got much better later in life I do love my sisters the phone had been buzzing for about a minute straight and we were panicking a bit so I took the phone apart I removed the battery looking back I just want to slap myself I should have kept it open as long as possible but seeing and hearing it happen Kate and I were both

11:00

definitely in shock oh and I should mention that Tracy had the same exact experience on her phone at the same time we didn't know until a week later when we brought it up and Tracy's eyes shot open and said that happened to you too but she was alone when it happened and almost thought that she had just hallucinated the experience we both know now that it was my mom reaching out always trying to mend fences with Tracy H so there you have it ghost Ser real there is 100% something after death I'm not a religious person and I don't believe in heaven or hell but I know that there's more for our souls after we leave our bodies I absolutely know it here's a bit more I have terminal brain cancer and I've been defying the odds for 2 years now but my last MRI let me know that I don't have much time left and likely won't be around if this gets on the podcast that's okay I've had a wonderful life with zero regrets and I married the most incredible woman in the world Katrina she saved my life when we found my first tumor if she had done absolutely anything different I would

12:00

not be here to write this that's a wonderful story in itself that I won't go into but near-death experiences are so real the night of my brain surgery I fell asleep in my room and I had the most beautiful and Vivid dream of my life I was in a beautiful field with a perfect sky and lots of cool trees and I just felt great and at peace and then my bed alarm woke me up the nurse ran in and asked if I was okay and I said yep I had no idea that I had just had brain surgery I said I'm really tired and then I went back to sleep and Bam field Sky peace same dream bam alarm wakes me up again nurse runs in asks if I'm okay I say yep I go back to sleep and this happens five times total rinse and repeat and the last time I finally got annoyed enough to ask the nurse what the alarm was that kept waking me up and it was the heart monitor screaming that my heart was actually at critical levels the crash cart was just outside of the room later they told me that I was the sweetest near-death patient because I kept apologizing for them having to run

13:00

in because of the alarm oh and you can add this part to the podcast too I know I won't be around but if there's a way for me to reach out to Kate after this body is used up I'm going to make every effort so perhaps you'll get another Amazing Story make sure Kate gets full credit for that either way I just have chills either way I know if I share my experiences Kate will definitely be listening and it would count as me reaching out from the Beyond not to mention having our story featured on her favorite podcast a my only regret is leaving the most beautiful woman in the world she is SL was my entire world but I'm not afraid to see what's waiting in the next one and I'll be waiting for her when she arrives any who I'm off to give all my friends a big hug while I can cheers Dan oh my God I I was very

Emotional reflection

focused on getting through the whole thing without crying but my God Dan Dan is for sure still with us this was like last week that Dan emailed us I know I saw that but I mean the love that Dan has for his wife Kate would would make

14:00

anyone cry it's so beautiful and so special but I do love that Dan has had all these other experiences in his life that similar to us like we have complete faith and belief that there is something more that comes after this life but I like that there are these experiences Dan has that also reaffirms that for for him and Dan now gets to share the experience of watching Kate listen to his stories on our podcast together right and then Dan we hope it's very far in the future that you get to be in ghost form but when you are Kate will without a doubt know that it is a sign yeah and you're welcome to haunt our podcast to communicate with Kate you're welcome to do whatever haunting is necessary I don't know what it's like I don't know how much control you have but I give full permission oh and I love that there's such a ghost loving Duo too like they yeah they go to haunted places they go on all of these tours together it's so cool Dan was full on like grazed by a

15:00

ghost and butt pinched and Kate's first response was I'm jealous I wanted something like that to happen yeah why didn't I get any experiences well here's the thing this podcast is permanent it's online and so now Dan's story has live forever and now we can forever remember that Dan's butt is so cute that even the ghost will follow him to give it a pinch that is like the nicest compliment ever my butt's so cute that ghosts pinch it where I go hear booty cheeks bring all the ghost to the yard okay well I'm going to Pivot real quick and go scary we're book ending with some more emotional and heartfelt ones this is from our listener Miriam and it is

Possession experience

called I got possessed by a demon hi ghostesses my name is Miriam and I've been looking for a spooky podcast like yours for several years now and just a couple weeks ago my ears were blessed by two girls one ghost I've been listening pretty much non-stop at work and now I easily get startled by people walking past me while I'm in my own little Spooky World I've always been sensitive

16:00

to the Paranormal and it's something that runs on my dad's side of the family we have a family curse related to it but that's a story for another time I have countless crazy stories about ghosts demons premonition dreams visits from loved ones and so much more but today I wanted to share with you what I believe is to be a very unique and very terrifying experience I had back in 2020 it's a long one it sounds dramatic but I promise it all happened to me so buckle up as I tell you about the time that I got possessed by a demon oh my gosh sabr's favorite types of stories yes I know I'm not alone I know you've seen those movies and those creepy videos and audio clips uploaded all over the internet where someone gets possessed by a demon it starts slow fits of rage and then they stop eating or sleeping eventually it escalates into convulsions speaking in tongues levitating and Poltergeist likee activities well I've seen my fair share footage like this and being someone with

17:00

a Fascination for the Paranormal it makes sense and although my entire life I've had a strong belief in this stuff I really didn't find possessions believable I always felt I had a good understanding of how the spirit world and negative entities functioned and I just didn't think this was something that was possible I've come into contact with what I believe to be full-on demonic entities in the past and as long as I believe they couldn't truly cause any physical harm they never did feel like that's a lot of run-ins with dark energies already it's not a casual statement for most people to say I've encountered demons and many over various periods of time but whenever I did see stuff like this on TV or the internet I always wondered if it is possible what would it feel like to be possessed what were these people feeling what were they seeing what were they hearing while their bodies were supposedly taken over by a demon well you guys when I was 19 years old I was unfortunate enough to finally find out I want to get to the juicy Stu Stu so I'm going to keep the backstory as short as I can my dad is

18:00

the youngest of 10 kids they all see ghosts his mom saw ghosts some of them seem to be Clairvoyant and I'm quite sure I've got a couple of aunts that are witches but they would never admit to something like that so cool though have all of those family members I have two older brothers and two younger brothers and we all have had countless paranormal experiences for as long as I can remember imaginary friends that weren't so friendly doors opening and closing stuff moving around shadow figures the list could probably go on forever out of me and my siblings I'm the one that seems to be more in tune with this stuff I wouldn't call myself a psychic or a medium maybe just the veil is thinner for me but I could communicate with him I could sense light and dark and I have dreams that were just too specific to be coincidences as I got older I became obsessed with learning more about the Paranormal and how to control my abilities I watched videos about ghost sightings possessions and the like I watched a lot of scary movies about ghosts and I pretty much talked about it consistently my mom always told me she

19:00

thought that my sensitivity to it was a gift like maybe it was something I could use to help banish the negativity from other people's lives or help people find Comfort when their loved ones passed mhm my family is heavily religious and it's really taboo to be messing with this stuff they strongly believe in Good and Evil and I guess I didn't realize just how dangerous it was to be obsessing over this stuff until it was way too late my dad is so scared of the Paranormal that he'll tell anyone who asks that he doesn't believe in ghosts but I know he believes yeah everyone does a little bit even if you are like I don't really understand and I think there's something more that means you kind of have the opening to believe and we see you we know you I'm watching you long story kind of short it consumed my life because I was so obsessed with ghosts they did kind of become attracted to me I was never alone so for months I constantly saw shadow people even during the day I saw Shadows following people around everywhere I went doors would slam stuff would move around and I

20:00

stopped looking in mirrors because I knew that anytime I did I would see something terrifying unfortunately it did make me grow extremely depressed and angry I got enraged anytime anyone in my family would bring up religious topics there were Shadows around me all the time and I started to feel trapped and hopeless H trigger warning I did start to consider to take my own life to escape all the pain and it seemed to be coming from nowhere I had what I call ghost induced nightmares where I would have these awful dreams about ghosts or demons trying to take my life or hurt people I love then I would wake up with sleep paralysis and find that same entity from my dream standing in my room staring at me I lost control of what my mom had said was a gift and it was now taking over me I had gotten pretty good at waking up seeing a figure standing in my room telling it to go away calming myself down enough to go back to sleep and that you would always go away but I knew that if one night I was too scared to speak up and tell them to leave that something bad would happen and they were waiting for that night to come one night

21:00

one of them got what it wanted I was too scared to tell it to go away I was having a nightmare and in this nightmare I was in an empty room with Cobblestone walls and dirt floor a single flickering light bulb hung from a wooden ceiling that looked like the bottom of floorboards it was like I was in a basement it was cold I could see my own breath in the dim light there were no windows and no doors no way in no way out and I could hear someone walking around very slowly on the floor above me there were blood stains in frantic scratch marks all over the walls as if I was not the first person to be hopelessly helplessly trapped in this room ooh this is giving back rooms Vibes kind of like Barbarian too yeah yeah I just stood in the middle of the room shaking from Fear staring at the scratch marks I remember thinking he's going to get me he's coming I know he's coming to get me I can't stop it then I heard a deep scratchy male voice rattle around my head almost as if it were thoughts that were not my own he laughed in a slow menacing way and said in my mind

22:00

I'm here for you you are mine and I won't ever let you leave from this hell well that's not encouraging I screamed and it woke me up from the nightmare but there standing in the corner of my bedroom was a man so dark he seemed to suck in all of the light around him and I couldn't see any distinct features he was so tall that he was bent forward with his head leaned up against the ceiling his arms were so long that his wrist dragged on the floor behind him I knew immediately this was the same thing that had spoken to me in my nightmare I wasn't paralyzed but I was too scared to speak to tell him to go away and that only light and love are welcome in my home so I just stared a single tear rolling down my cheek I blinked and suddenly he wasn't standing in there anymore but I could still feel him in the room it wasn't cold in the room but my body started to shake I suddenly felt violently nauseous I felt as if I had cold mud in my lungs and in my head and in my entire body there was a disgusting feeling as if there was something inside of me making me sick I

23:00

was shaking so hard that it must have looked like I was having a seizure but I was fully conscious I don't remember what exactly I was thinking just that I was frantic fighting for control I thought in my head I have to stop him I have to stop him I have to get him out of my body I tried to stand I tried to turn on the lights but my leg shook so hard that I hit my knees on my nightstand and buckled to the floor it should have hurt but it didn't I clenched my teeth to stop them from chattering and balded my hands into fist trying to make my arm stop shaking I wasn't light-headed I felt heavy and full of mud and angry I heard that same voice in my head the one that I had heard in my dream but this time he was just laughing cackling with a Glee that made me so angry it wasn't loud or anything and I couldn't actually hear it in my ears it felt a lot more like it was my own thoughts in my head but I knew they were not mine the only way I can think to describe this is you know how back in the day in driver's ed the student would be driving but the instructor and their passenger seat also

24:00

had brakes in a steering wheel on their side of the car so they could take control if anything went wrong that's how it felt but like inside my body I'm not sure who the driver and who the instructor was that was what was so scary oh that's scary it's like almost like you don't even know that you have control anymore it's reminding me so much of season two of stranger things where Billy is like battling the creature that's like oozing inside of him and taking apart everyone else in these really gross like Blobby explosion situations yeah I forced myself to stand slowly making my way to the light switch I felt this impulse to start smashing things around my room I wanted to break all the trinkets I had spent years collecting I wanted to rip the drawers out of my dresser and tear my bedroom door off its hinges my right hand actually stopped shaking and reached out to a heavy glass face that I had sitting on my dresser and I was about to pick it up and Chuck it across the room but as soon as I started rting resting my hand started shaking again finally I reached

25:00

the light switch and flipped it on hoping that the light flooding the room would offer me some relief from all this pressure that I was feeling in my body mhm but the light just flickered a few times before turning all the way on and I still felt the same I stood in the room shaking clenching my jaw holding my hands and fists I was terrified and angry at the same time and I felt that laugh bubbling up in my throat and it wasn't my own so I kept saying in my head I have to stop him I have to get help I need help tears wed up in my eyes I felt like I was going to vomit as I reached for the doorknob and crept down the hallway to my parents room I didn't know what I was going to say or do I just knew I needed help I knocked lightly well as lightly as I could with my hand shaking so badly I like that there's still a politeness like sorry to wake you yeah I would be busting the door down I tried to make enough noise to wake up my parents without startling them mom I whispered she gasps sat straight up sensing that was something wrong she turned on her bedside lamp with worry or maybe with fear she asked me what's wrong sweetheart and then why

26:00

are you smiling like that I hadn't known I was smiling my dad's had too both of them were looking at me with concern I was still shaking with my hands and my fist I didn't exactly want to tell them hey so I think there's a demon inside my body and I need an exorcism so I just said there's something bad in my room something really really bad and I can't get it to go away they both knew that I was talking about ghosts even though I was 19 at the time I would still find myself crawling into their in the middle of the night describing nightmares I had or things that I saw looming over me in the bedroom so they both climbed out of bed I led them back to my room they looked around and like usual they didn't see anything but instead of telling me to calm down and go back to sleep like they usually would they decided this was serious and they needed to say a prayer over me I sat on my bed trying not to have full-blown convulsions and they both stood around me started praying truly as soon as they started saying the prayer I started gagging like I was going to throw up like projectile vomit throw up oh my gosh E I couldn't really

27:00

focus on anything either of them were saying I was just trying to stop shaking and avoid puking all over but every time my mom said the word God I wanted to reach up and choke her this went on for a really long time and it wasn't crazy exorcism stuff like get the hence devil or the power of Christ compels you it was more of just praying for protection and forgiveness and peace regular religious people prayers I guess finally I felt enough bravery and Clarity in my head so I was thinking in my head over and over go away go away go away go away finally I felt the weight leave my body that muddy feeling melted away the shaking stopped and I truly collapsed into a pile of tears all I could do was weep from the relief of being released from that evil thing grasp my mom sat on the bed next to me and hugged me rubbing my back she said something about how I was freezing cold she waited until I stopped crying enough to speak and asked me what it was that was bothering me and if it had left I weakly nodded yes but as I looked up to her I saw that my bedroom door had been left open and in

28:00

that hallway behind her there it was that tall figure his head bent against the ceiling leaning around the corner and I couldn't really see it but I could feel that he was smiling evily at me good Lord the last thing he said before he disappeared was I'll always come back for you and then he was gone with that horrible laugh eventually my parents decided I had calmed down enough to be left alone and went back to bed needless to say I did not get any sleep for the rest of the night or really for the next few weeks after that we never told my brothers about it and neither me nor my parents ever brought it up to each other again I hope you read this because I've been dying for someone to hear it and it really happened to me I know longer believe that I got possessed I mean I was going through a very traumatic period of my life at that point and it made it easy for to me to believe pretty much everything I had recently gone through a breakup from a very abusive relationship with the first person I ever loved I had two nieces surgeries and was experiencing a lot of

29:00

religious existentialism because I had recently left the Mormon Church it didn't help that I hardly ever got any sleep and had delusions about ghosts and demons that was very supported by my very Mormon Mom lately I'm not even sure I believe in ghosts or demons anymore I've always kind of been shaky when I first wake up maybe I was just traumatized and kind of having a crazy experience from everything else I was going through I don't know but all I know is I no longer dapple in the Paranormal I'm the furthest from being a religious person and I never see weird things anymore but I'm happier that way who knows they all say the devil's best trick is making people believe he doesn't exist at all stay spooky ladies I'll see you on the other side

Possession reflection

Miriam okay Miriam I feel like Miriam's not giving themselves enough credit because oftentimes I think when we hear possession stories we are hearing it from the person who wasn't possessed just someone who was witnessing it but the fact that Miriam could feel and experience the things like I wanted to choke my mom like I like recognizes all

30:00

these feelings that aren't theirs and fights against it and is able to come and ask for help yeah I think there's so much strength to Miriam where it was like the majority of the battle was Miriam versus this dark entity that was trying so so hard to do whatever they could to possess her have you seen the new season of Goosebump or not new season the I guess the new iteration of Goosebumps you watched it right oh yeah yeah yeah yeah we watched it on tour right I think you ended up like surpassing me finishing it before I did probably it's kind of like what's his name what's that actor's name why he's also in Barbarian uh the teacher Justin Long when Justin long is like battling with the entity and has like no control over his hand and is like the left hand versus the right hand like the paper it kind of reminds me of that where Miriam was fighting so hard I hate this idea of like cuz we've always wondered like where does the person and their soul go

31:00

if they are possessed I hate this idea that there's this room that has no entrance no exit the cement and wood planks and scratch marks and blood stains from when previous people have been in there they're trapped in there it's such an unsettling I hate that idea that kind of feels like Insidious too where it's like your astral body is to or the upside down from stranger things like there's so many different versions of that that exist where like you are just trapped somewhere Miriam I'm really glad that you were able to fight it and it's hard because it's like from our perspective and the way that the story is presented until the end of Miriam's email it very much does feel like a possession and we've read so many or heard so many stories of entities like this taking advantage of people who are going through some of the hardest times of their lives so right yeah maybe it was a culmination of all this trauma and like the dark stuff that Miriam was experiencing and if Miriam does not want to believe it's a possession then who are we to say what it is or isn't like

32:00

we don't know anything I would understand if it was a possession why Miriam was targeted because right they were going through such a hard time and I do think that there is a benefit to choosing not to believe because then you're not giving it energy so there's not much power for it to feed off of don't feed the beasts no and I think it's smart that Miriam has uh kind of closed that door yeah I agree it is also interesting to me because in the beginning Miriam said that like her dad's family like everyone has experienced ghost and has like some type of ability and that even her siblings have all experienced things and then yet but her dad doesn't want to believe yeah and it's like taboo to talk about it but clearly everyone in your family has some type of paranormal inclination it is easier to just ignore things at times agreed and the rain is pounding down on my sun room now wonder if you'll be able to hear it like when I was reading Miriam's story too it started raining more heart harder over here too look at the East Coast here we're getting

33:00

pummeled spooky I like it all right well

Haunted Barbie doll

we're going to stay spooky because this email is titled life-size Barbie so oh okay what up my fellow ghostesses I'm Mary from a small town in Utah about 35 minutes from flush pedestrian Ranch anyway I wanted to write in today with an encounter that I didn't have but my sister did yes I was one of those kids that got a life-size Barbie for Christmas my sister Cara she hated it she was always so creeped out by this Barbie the Barbie was so big that it wouldn't fit in anything and it was either always on the toy box or it was sitting on the wall next to the toy box it was always sitting in these weird angles off-balanced with some crazy hair and no clothes no I don't blame her for thinking it was creepy I don't know why I didn't dress the damn thing LOL anyways Cara hated my Barbie with a passion she always felt like she was being watched and one time she was reluctantly cleaning the room and the Barbie was sitting against the wall in

34:00

the same place for days even weeks at this point no one had touched her Cara was standing in the middle of the room playing with random stuff that she found while she was cleaning out of nowhere at almost the same time the Barbie toppled over and the door made a sudden noise as if it were being pushed open what Cara was nowhere near the door and had the door shut because our mom was in the computer room right across the hall and she was upset at her for making Cara clean I don't know where I was or why I wasn't cleaning but thank God yes seriously the door popped open with so much force that it was swaying back and forth carara immediately stopped being mad at my mom and told her that she was too scared to finish she thought my mom was going to think that she was being over dramatic after Cara told our mom what happened though she was so nice and understanding she knew Mom believed that she had a reason to be afraid of that stupid doll but the worst part is soon after so a little backstory for some reason we would shower in my mom's bathroom room which was already creepy as hell but the shower had this annoying

35:00

glass door that you would have to lift to open and then lift again to close it all the way anyway Cara was showering in there that same day or maybe it was the day after I don't know it's been a long time but she was a little freaked out from the whole incident and she remembers thinking specifically about the Barbie in the door opening and right after that thought the shower door just opens all by itself just like the bedroom door had and she knows that she closed the door all the way she blames the Barbie and she got the hell out of the shower as fast as she could yeah another story from me personally about my mom's bathroom my sister and I were bickering all day like sisters do and my mom had enough of it she told me to go shower go get ready for bed I always tried to be fast in the shower because I hated my mom's bathroom anyway I was showering minding my own business when I heard a deep scary demon voice like what Sabrina does say Mary Mary I started yelling at my sister because I assumed that it was her but nothing not even a giggle I finished

36:00

showering as fast as I could got dressed and went to go hunt down my sister she was in the kitchen with my mom and I asked her why did you do that and she replied I didn't do anything I didn't believe her so I looked at my mom and I asked did she go into the bathroom while I was showering my mom says no she's been with me the whole time my little 8-year-old self was terrified yeah that being said my childhood home was a little haunted at most there are more stories like the man in the computer room that my mom would mistake as my dad or the little girl that I always saw in the corner of my eye while walking from one side of the house to the other and also the time that I found a little boy scared in my room what those are all stories for me to write a different day I love you ladies so much thank you for being the best haunted podcast love the community you guys started it's amazing see you on the other side Mary maryy but Mary was this little boy a ghost or a real real little boy that you found scared in your room sounds like a

37:00

scared little ghost boy who is he scared of well clearly there's a lot of be lot to be scared of in this house MH I almost feel like okay life-size Barbies are creepy like inherently like unfortunately it's the same way Furbies dolls fures Life-Size dolls just give off creepy Vibes I feel like whatever entities in the house maybe perhaps utilize that to its Advantage because it sounds like it's connected to whatever's haunting the bathroom mhm which the doll wasn't in the bathroom you know no I hate it I hate that it can read your thoughts too like the Mary sister thought about the doll and how the doll opened the door and immediately the shower door opened door yeah I was about to say I guess it's better than looking back and the doll has moved positions or it's like you know cross- lugged or its head is like tilted and staring at you but then also just the ability that like whatever is attached to that doll is able to move silently and unseen through the house too yeah I don't love that

38:00

like into the bathroom and speak Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary make that your ringtone Mary answer your phone somebody's calling you I'm Coming For You Anyway Mary how did you continue shower I know you were ate but like after hearing your name the fact that you finished showering is bravery at its fin although I guess Mary thought it was thought it was her sister you know was it fear or was it just anger and annoyance at that point where you're like then I get out of this show I'm gonna I'm going to tell Mom you're going to get in trouble all right well let's lighten the mood so like I said the intention in searching for this story was to find Ouija board story so the intention was for scary but I ended up finding one that says Ouija boards aren't always horrifying oh okay this is

Heartwarming Ouija story

from our listener Ash hello lovely ladies I've been listening

39:00

for a little over a year after seeing an ad for campfire stories on Spotify when I was SL well I still am a broke college student I am a spooky gal with lots of spooky experiences so you all have become my favorite podcast to listen to while studying working or commuting thanks I started from the very beginning in 2022 and I just finished up on episode 216 the Ouija board breakout today I started to set up my workstation I was finishing up some reclaimed Cemetery would Ouija boards whoa how do you even source that I'm just going to give a shout out to ashin they have a company called the optimistic Oracle and ashlin's tagged Us in some of the work that they are working on and it's beautiful I need to know way more about this job I think this is like ashlin's side hustle like likes to restore and turn old wood into Ouija boards so cool I went to play y'all's next episode and when I saw it was about Ouija boards I got chills down

40:00

my spine and I thought maybe it's not the best idea but I Shrugged my shoulders and decided you know what it's fate nothing spooky happened and I'm pretty bummed about it however you guys interacted with my Instagram story and it has inspired me to finally share one of my many stories I have plenty more definitive scary or intriguing stories than the one I'm about to share with you but this is by far one of the most heartwarming ones my grandfather passed away back in 2014 but he never really left my family side unfortunately I did not get to say goodbye to him as I was at summer camp for Performing Arts across the country without cell service at the end of the session our families would come and we would do a concert for them and at this point I didn't know that he had passed nor did I expect him to be there because he was in a wheelchair and he couldn't get around very well so I'm sitting amongst the band playing My Little saxophone and I find my parents in the crowd and I see my grandpa sitting next to them I felt butterflies in my stomach and I was beyond excited he was there with them I played my heart out and I went running

41:00

to find my family as soon as I could I found my parents but my grandpa wasn't with them so I asked where he was and my mom started tearing up and told me that he wasn't there as he had unexpectedly passed days prior oh no but to this day I know he was there he had never gotten to see me perform and it was one of his biggest regrets in life but now in death he was able to be there for both of us anyway I apologize because that's not really the story I was trying to tell but I got sidetracked so now you have two stories fast forward this is 2 or 3 years later it was my Grandpa's birthday so my uncle came over to celebrate we made my grandpa's favorite dinner we played his favorite music and at the end of the night my mom asked me to pull out my glow-in-the-dark Toys R R Us Ouija board classic my uncle my mom and myself put on some Frank Sinatra turned off most of the lights and sat around the board we asked my grandpa to come through for several minutes and had no luck after about 5 to 10 minutes the

42:00

song naturally switched and as it did all of us felt this little buzz in our hands through the planet I went up to look at my mom and Uncle to see if they were reacting to this feeling and I noticed that they were both staring into the living room eyes wide I slowly followed their gaze locked eyes with a large green and blue orb this orb was steady for about 30 seconds and then started to float towards us that's so scary my uncle stood up and goes dad is that you the orb stopped right in front of him before it morphed into a pink and purple heart as quickly as it happened it then just broke apart into particles and disappeared my uncle sat back down and the three of us were silent for a few moments trying to absorb what just happened we discussed what the three of us saw and we all saw the exact same thing they too felt the vibrating in the planchet and my uncle was the first to see the orb and claimed that it had floated right through the

43:00

front door as his all-time favorite Sinatra song came on so yeah luiga boards aren't always super duper terrifying I might not have been able to converse with him via the board but it definitely helped bring us all together thanks for everything you do I have many other stories ranging from seeing and identifying victims of fatal car accidents to having memories of a past life that I shared with my twin that in this life I absorbed in womb but I'll leave you two with this fun until next time Ashlin wow Ashlin it is heartwarming it's like scary but heartwarming at the same time because it's scary to have like for example an orb coming at you but then heart they were asking for communication right so like right it is unsettling but it would be way more unsettling had they not been actively all together trying to communicate with someone that's true oh my gosh yeah like it's beautiful how many times have I or anyone in the world asked for communication with someone that they've lost or a loved one and

44:00

nothing happens you know so for all three of them to be together on her grandfather's birthday and actually be able to have this encounter with him I think is so beautiful it really is and to know that he was there to watch you perform in the play just all of this it really is so special although I think I would still be freaked out to see the orb actually like it's one thing to be like show us a sign and the orb appears but it's another thing for the orb to like start creeping up into the circle and you're like w okay well and turn into a heart like I mean yeah that's oh my gosh it's like a firework you know when the firework goes and then all of a sudden it becomes something else and everyone's like wo and then it just like dissipates into P you're left with the lasting memory and all the joy in your heart from that experience yeah incredible I feel like this episode really took us for a ride it did we were emotions all over the place I don't know if I have emotions anymore it's okay we're tired we're
