2:00

with the Paranormal people don't believe you so if you have something weird and wacky that you've been holding on and everyone Giggles when you tell them tell us cuz we want to hear it Purge your secrets to us we'll keep them and we'll believe in them we won't keep them we'll air them onto a podcast we'll make you Anonymous so that no one knows who you are but we know you give yourself your own name yeah this is a great opportunity to just like try out a different name if you want see how it feels hear back with your own like writing and your own voice maybe that's it's an alter ego okay so we have a theme for this episode because we love this topic it's extra spooky comes back time and time again and I've recently become a Tik tocker like in terms of watching I'm a lurker and there was something lurking in the wilderness there was a video that came up on my feed and we can play it in here so it's from Anna on Tik Tok and they were staying at a cabin in the Appalachian Mountains appalachin Appalachia whatever

3:00

however you want to say it original they saying it an Airbnb and there was a note in the Airbnb gosh the note says I could feel her watching I knew I shouldn't have looked she was closer to the house than I expected the creek covered her sound of her footsteps if they make a sound the lights in the trailer never turned off and I have a feeling she knows why so what the [ __ ] if you're a creative writer and this is the kind of [ __ ] you leave behind in airbeam bees I applaud you but oh my God this is so freaking scary and so outside their window they see a trailer

4:00

by the creek and there is a light on and they're like is she in the trailer who is she and like they found this in the Airbnb that they're staying at in the Appalachian Mountains and they're like are we going to survive the night I guess they did cuz they posted it right they did they survived but it is so scary like all that stuff like there was um the video I saw the other day from someone who posted from the Appalachian Mountains and they like heard their name and they're just like out and you hear their name very close to them and then the camera just like turns down and you just see them like walking pretending that they've getting out there as fast as possible yeah so naturally we were like we're being called actually you were being called to the Appalachian Mountains for so long there still a part of me that is tempted I mean I'd go with you you can't go by yourself I wouldn't allow it no but like the Temptation isn't well I've been like in around the trail the Temptation was to do the trail I know but I wouldn't allow you to do it by yourself you would do two months on the appalation show sure I'm unhinged why not

5:00

okay we can think about it I am the friend who we should have done this before I had a child now we got to wait 20 years now we'll bring Noah with us when he's like outside we could do like a one week version of it yeah but that all that being said is we picked Appalachian Trail stories two share or stories not all of mine are from the trail they're just some of them are Regional yeah same same which is a really large region because if you're not from the US or you're not familiar with mountain ranges it goes down pretty much the entire Eastern seab of the United States I also think it's incredible because a lot of our emails say like I live near the Appalachian

Creepy Appalachian Stories

Mountains MH and you justed Kentucky or Maine right but then also you immediately know we know there's a lot of stuff happening here which is why I prefaced my story with hey this is where I'm located because it's very possible it's connected to the energy that's going on here okay but I have a story and we will start with the one that is called Appalachian creepy stories

6:00

okay on the newse hello I just joined patreon my name is Le and I live in Southern Ohio near Kentucky in West Virginia yes I have a thick accent or so I'm told I grew up with Miles and Miles of dense forest as a playground I've hunted all my life and my family is very outdoorsy I'm not afraid of the woods I have several encounters that I'm unsure what or who it was but this is Appalachia if you see or hear something you did not we usually say something say something or see something Sage something this is see something completely ignore something no you didn't yeah background the area I grew up in was named skull Hollow because they supposedly uncovered a pyramid of skulls when people settled there it was scary sounding but I still played there and I tried to find the Pyramid of skulls my friends and I found creep I know a creepy kid my friends and I found a spot that looked very promising but as soon as we broke ground we heard this Jumanji sounding drum beat everyone heard it so we ran all the way home

7:00

that's horrifying I know later during college I hunted in my tree stand on private property and I was alone I was listening and suddenly I heard my name from behind me it was clear as day so much so that I turned around to answer the voice in a whisper but nothing was there nothing responded to me it felt very eerie but if you heard something no you didn't so I just continued hunting pretending that I'd never heard anything in at least she was hunting like I feel like she was armed yeah that's true but what are you going to do shoot a ghost I would try or like flesh pedestrians like we don't even know what some of those things are I know I also windy boys learned that they were entities not even creatures and I feel like we've heard stories where people have shot weapon like shot a gun at what they think is ANW and they think that they no no no they think that they hit the like whatever it was and it's just gone so it's like they are impenetrable in the same area years later I was working as a

8:00

substitute teacher and had to drive through the middle of the forest to get to work it's dark it's early spring and I around the corner in my car and I stop suddenly in the road there are four very large canine creatures their backs are as tall as my Ford Escape Hood and the biggest one is glaring at me and I'm not afraid of much I've seen coyotes and these things were not coyotes we also don't have wolves in the area or so I've Wes they do I like have chills thinking about this wait this is suddenly reminding me of that one episode I did I can't even remember anything about it but it was the guy was like driving around Florida and encountered was it in the pigfoot episode or was it something separate well I don't know where you're going encountered what but he was like trying to find a place to camp and then he encountered that like weird creature that was like werewolf like when he was outside of his van and it like swiped at him and then he ran back inside his van why don't I remember this I'll figure it out someone else someone who's listening knows yeah insert our missing info these

9:00

things were not coyotes and we do not have wolves in the area or so I've been told when I locked eyes with this thing the hair stood on my arms and I just froze these things made me feel things it felt like time froze and maybe I'd lost time I always wondered why people can't get good pictures of Bigfoot but now I get it I had an iPhone then and I did not grab it I told so many people and the only people who believed me is my grammy everyone else thinks I'm crazy wait we believe you and we started we believe you yeah anyway that's some of my experiences from my younger days I'm still not sure what they were or why me also I can't tell these stories without getting laughed at so I figured you all would believe me I have more stories from Gettysburg and pictures of strange things but that's a story for another day thanks for listening Lee Lee we'll send us the pictures and this is a call to action to everyone send us any photos of ghosts that you've caught cuz we want to do a whole encounters where we share ghosts and things caught

10:00

on camera yes yes we do we do but the wolf experience and the her hearing her voice those two are the scariest those are really really scary the wolf thing is really creepy because too like as a hunter you spend so much time alone and tracking in and out and like you're not legally allowed to hunt when it's dark out so a lot of hunters to like get the most of the daylight because hunting season is so like it's in the winter basically it's like yeah there's not much sunlight they track in in the dark so that they can like be situated and then start hunting when the sun comes up so it's like these things you spend a lot of time in the dark and like they could be patrolling and hunting you listen there's a lot of reasons I will never and have never hunted but I think we just added another one yeah I'm mared for my father now he goes to Kentucky know he goes to Kansas sorry other K name I feel like your dad has probably experienced some weird things while hunting yeah I feel like a lot of people

11:00

probably he used to tell me that he saw the Easter Bunny hunting too that's horrifying I was actually very scared of the story that sounds horrifying a giant rabbit in clothes like thumping through in like November and I imagine it has like really sharp Jagged tea yeah I'm like what the [ __ ] is the Easter bunny doing here right now who's he stalking was he saying it as like a cute story or did he actually see no it was like ex excitedly he was like I saw the Easter Bunny when I was hunting he told me this one I was Nightmare inducing and I was like I don't think I like the story and was the last time I ever heard of any Easter Bunny encounter in the woods who would you rather encounter in the woods Easter Bunny or a leprechaun oh I would rather honestly the leprechaun Easter bunny is a scary creature I agree a giant bunny yeah not a fan no but okay L I hope you have more stories survive living where you do please yeah let us know those other stories and we totally believe you this is also so scary like you were saying werewolves and I'm kind of

12:00

forgetting what's the difference between like a werewolf and like a what's it called like the H Hound um hellhounds hellhound it's a good question well hellhounds I think are smaller and are supposed to be like guardians of Hell

The Frogman and Other Cryptids

and werewolves are hairy beasts L if you can for some reason remember the date oh what if it was full moon let us know I lowkey would love to turn into something on a full moon what would you turn into like a cat oh yeah that makes sense once a month I could be a cat that'd be great it'd be really cool I would not want to turn into the Frog man which is brings me to our next story wait that is so crazy what I have Frogman on my list I like just learned about him not too long ago and I put him on my list to cover this year Frogman is on the M maybe Frogman is gonna be making more appearances this year wait this is so fun so this is from our listener Tren and it's called Frogman Appalachian Appalachian UFO and everyone's worst

13:00

nightmare in my opinion hey ladies this is not my first time emailing and probably won't be my last it's been a hot minute though since I've sent an email and my sister and I are OG listeners all the way back when you were on like episode 10 wow I have my fair share of stories and in a separate email I'll be sending my experience while living at a property with Indian burials and some insane [ __ ] my husband's family and I experienced including our cattle being oh this is trigger warning uhoh our cattle being skinned and people being chased flesh pedestrians and much much more yeah wait I was going to say that's like a one of the classic flesh pedestrian things yeah if you can't tell already I really like to talk so I'm going to send a handful of these stories and then I'll send some separately we love it here is the first one it is a core memory and I'd like to preface this by saying my childhood was not all rainbows and sunshine unfortunately my mother had a substance problem and in response to this my brain has a tendency to remember every single

14:00

detail down to the sounds of my breathing in a moment so despite being young in this story I can still see and experience every single second of the memory MH it's so interesting like how the brain processes traumas so differently like I feel like mine is repressed and hers is like hold on to and remember every sense and every detail so my family had just moved from California to the thick mountains of North Carolina we were living in a somewhat dilapidated trailer and my little brother and I shared a room and my older sister was right beside us I don't know the history of this land unfortunately but it always felt really heavy even as a very young child my eyes were always drawn to look up the hill and stare into the woods maybe it was because I was from California and I hadn't seen wood so thick th hi I CC but after this mosquitoes like sorry that you came from California where there's like hardly any flying bugs and now you're in mosquito Land one night after it was pitched black out inside my

15:00

mom was getting on me about cleaning my room and this is around 2007 and 2008 our trailer was far from New so the window I had in my room would rattle in the wind and I don't even think it was glass maybe it was plexiglass anyway I being extremely stubborn as I was I was fiddling and shoving things under my bed when all of a sudden two giant frog hands slammed up against my window I looked over at my window and slowly saw a humongous frog slowly put his face up against my window this is the coolest naturally that's scary I screamed and the Frog man ran not jumped or at least it sounded like he ran because it was the mountains and I couldn't see [ __ ] and my mom came into my room and of course thought I was trying to get out of cleaning my room so future reference Karen and Sabrina believe your kids when they see a frog man because to this day as a 21-year-old woman my mom still thinks it was BS um no we believe in fact like Frogman is a thing like

16:00

it's a fullon cryed creature yeah I wonder why like I'm now I'm really curious to know research like is there some type of Reason Frogman appears is there a place that he lurks is the Appalachian Appalachian Mountains some sort of like Vortex to another world and that world is Halloween Town and Halloween Town lets in the Frogman and these giant werewolf creatures and just all these like strange yeah and that's why they're so concentrated along this mountain range and now I like want to live near the Appalachian Mountains maybe our first like two R ghost property will be on oh okay we tell your friends to listen to the podcast property a little more money first okay so jump quite a few years and my family and I are living in an old house literally built in 1930 or 1940 I think original everything Floors doors I wouldn't be surprised Ur if the house had never seen two coats of paint our

UFO Sightings in Appalachia

17:00

neighbor's mom died in the kitchen but this story is not about ghosts shortly after moving in my siblings and I shared one of the two bedrooms there were four of us in one bedroom my little brother and I shared a mattress that was on the ground and somewhat level with the beginning of the window old house short walls low Windows one night well after the whole house had gone to bed including ourselves my little brother and I sat up straight in bed and immediately looked up in the sky both of us at the same time we had been asleep woke up at the exact same time looked out the window what we saw were two round UFOs moving around in jerky fast motions shooting what looked like a lot of green and red bullets oh my God like the ones they use in Star Wars yeah yeah neither of us had seen Star Wars at this point I have no idea how long we sat there watching but eventually one of the crafts got shot down Landing in a blaze on top of the mountain what in the world my brother and I just just lay back down don't say a word and go back to sleep

18:00

what the next morning did you hike up did you see the debris I'm imagining Shey ET I imagine she's like 5 years old and just let's go to the top of mountain go straight to the crash you like have the like velcro shoes that every time you take a lights up cute I feel like that could be a kid book a we can write it okay add it to our list we just came up with so many ideas okay so the next morning my brother and I both thought we had a shared dream but it was so realistic we tried to vinced my mom to go up the mountain but she said no what to this day I don't think it was a dream and when I was telling my husband about it a week ago I sent my brother a Snapchat asking if he remembered it not providing any information or the details to my surprise nearly a decade and a half later my brother responds it is a core memory for him too he describes nearly everything the exact same way I did and I finally feel like I have the confirmation that I'm not crazy wow okay now for my last story which is

19:00

labeled everyone's nightmare oh great this happened only about 3 years ago I moved in with my now boyfriend and one night one of our close friends gives us a call asking to go let his dog out to use the bathroom and give her some food my friend was about an hour and a half away getting a tattoo and we agreed because we only lived 20 minutes from him we had been to his house once before it was a somewhat large home classic country style and his family who he lives with were all out of town at the time they have money so their home is beautiful tall ceilings big windows and anyway it couldn't just be any other night it had to be darker than ever due to the thunderstorms in our area and strong winds that kind of yell at you and scream at you so we pull into the driveway and our friend had instructed us to not enter from the front door but instead walk up a small path into the garage from an exterior door so we did just that these details are important we walk up the small path on the step stones into the garage and we close the

20:00

door behind us we walk into the garage and enter into the house through a second door and we left that door wide open once inside we turned on a few lights in the kitchen greeted the dog and we had been told to let her out the back door off the dining room that's surrounded by big windows we left the door open to the outside on the porch so the dog could come back in when she was ready and I did this and my boyfriend now husband was looking for her food in the kitchen as we walked back to the kitchen I see my husband standing complet Ely still looking through the door in the garage that we had just left open he's pale and obviously scared I asked what what's wrong and he simply said I just heard someone walk up The Path on the Stepping Stones open the door to the garage and close it scared shitless and obviously thinking there was an actual person standing possibly armed a few feet away from us before we can think the door to the garage from the kitchen that we had just been looking through the one we had left open slams shut oh my boyfriend immediately runs to

21:00

the kitchen to arm himself and I go to close the door and get the dog back inside my first thought is maybe his family got home and thinks we are The Intruders I did not know that they were on a trip at this time so I immediately call out our friend's name hoping that if it was the family they would know that we're their friend nothing no sounds we're both standing in the kitchen at this point armed with butter knives because for some reason these people didn't own basic butcher knives or anything my husband pulls out his phone at 3% he had music playing the whole way there and we hadn't considered turning ing our phones he calls our friend no answer he calls again the wind is howling we are shaking yeah cuz you think you're like about to die our friend picks up and we immediately start explaining asking if anyone could be home he says what the [ __ ] no and then my boyfriend's phone dies I pull my phone now go this is like a movie my phone's at 1% our friend tries to call me but I decline in case we need to call 911 to be honest I don't know why we hadn't done this by now anyway my husband says we have to get back to our car so slowly we crawl slw

22:00

walk to the front of the house it's looking like an actual horror movie outside we can see our car and my boyfriend and I try to stay out of view from the windows in case we're being watched my husband says the only thing we can do is run my phone is dead at this point oh my God so we slowly unlock the front door trying not to announce ourselves we book it and by the glory of God make it to our car we lock the doors and drive I finally get my husband to turn on the phone with our awful car charger and call his friend he's already on his way home and asks for all of the details we park at a Comfort Inn and then it hits me when the door slammed in front of us it wasn't at an angle where someone could have closed it without us seeing them the door opened into the house so they would have had to reach in and Clos the door so I asked my friend have you ever experienced anything unexplained in your home and he said well I have heard some footsteps and lights do turn on and off but nothing like this let because these were unfamiliar people so the

23:00

ghost is like who are you here's the door you shouldn't be here right the owner isn't home and I was like well this makes way more sense that it's paranormal we end up sitting in the parking lot for the remainder of our time and our friend meets us there he says we should call the police to make sure everything's cleared and we agree so we call them we meet them there we explain the situation and they clear the house they said they didn't find anything and they were like the door slamming was probably a tree that fell up the road and shook the house and closed the door to be honest I think they said that to allow themselves to sleep at night MH and our friend got his dog and we went back to our place for the night to this day nothing nothing else has happened there that I know of but this story still shakes me up because we felt so helpless and so vulnerable in a moment like that it really changed my perspective on always making sure you're prepared even in situations where you don't think you'll need it those are my stories I hope you liked them and please let me know if you know about any frog man in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina because that one really keeps me awake um yeah there is a frog man and I will

24:00

be covering it maybe I'll bump it up earlier than I was planning on doing it okay bump it up I'm going to swap some things around in our plans hop it up Frogman coming soon and Tren says see you in one of the layers like one Dimensions I like it a lot Tren what the heck damn it is so curious I mean obviously Tren and her brother were very drawn to like that one spot where they saw the UFOs but like before the UFOs appeared there so it makes me wonder if there was something kind of like watching down at them so it's kind of like you feel like when someone's staring at you you can turn and know exactly where where it is where it is or if that's just like there was just some weird energy at the top of the mountain in this one specific spot and also were the two aliens fighting one another or did they see like a us or a military thing shoot down an alien oh yeah I also wouldn't be surprised and this is my conspiracy that I'm beginning which but I bet probably exists but I

25:00

believe that there's an underground tunnel that goes throughout the entire Appalachian Mountains region and there's like aliens being studied down there and there's a whole secret operation there's part of me that like I don't think we're studying aliens how are we yeah unless they're like agreeing to some sort of like Mutual like okay like we can swap some DNA or whatever and I study you you study me like how are we we are not that smart well okay this is the thing that scares me the most about it because like if we are studying aliens and if we have shot aliens down and then kept them in Area 51 and done you know um shape of water creepy terrible experiments on them wouldn't we be so frightful of the fact that there are Advanced creatures and species that can travel to us and we just killed them and we're studying them one of their friends kept I mean maybe

26:00

that is an argument to aliens not wishing us any harm the fact that like we've harmed them we harmed them and they still not maybe it's like you know we're like a bee you know a bee stings you and you're just like wow that sucked but I'm not going to go kill the whole Colony or is there a whole other conspiracy where there is a sector of government that has already made contact with aliens and Area 51 is like the safe Hub where they can land it's like their hotel that makes way more Area 51 Hotel this is their entry point yeah but then what about the North Pole I see I'm So Into conspir and the South Pole like all the conspiracies and I love this stuff I love conspiracies I love conspiracies I am curious too with like it being shot down if there's any sort of like you would think that some of these things would come up on like our airspace trackers and stuff like is there just like random debris from these things that some people see and some people don't and some sometimes they're 5 years old and never tell anyone who

27:00

believes them just existing there that no one has collected or is this something where it's like if you don't hike up that night like it's going to be recovered by people that don't by the Men in Black right or I imagine that there's areas of the mountain range that are completely Uncharted that we haven't gotten into that there could be a wreckage this is making me want a house deep in the thick Woods of the Appalachia we will we're going to have but then but then I'm like I'm back and forth because I want it to be like a giant glass house so we can see all these things happening but then it's even scarier cuz then at night like it's only not scary if you're like specifically trying to be inside in the warmth and look at the sky I don't want to see anything below the tree line I can't do the whole frosted glass halfway through the house okay well our house is going to be very interesting to look at when we buy our Appalachian house you can have a window half of the house and I'm G to have like one little peephole

28:00

like cement bricks just you can't get me

Creepy Cabin Stories

I feel like the peepole was just inviting them to do something even scarier because it's like the challenge of getting in sure but like at least I'll be protected everywhere else going to be going to bed and you're just little little little three your little people it's me I'd like a mine's G to be like a safe room but the entire side of the house is like a safe room there will be room for you if you get scared on your side thank you yeah this is called the plaque hole in the closet okay hello y'all this is my alltime favorite podcast I've been catching up on episodes for about a year and a half now and I'm still nowhere near close to the most recent ones I'm a very slow listener LOL I've written in a few times and I even had an encounter read aloud I still can't get over it thank you for reading a but I figured what the heck I may as well write in with one of the stories that happened more recently to me because why the heck not why the heck not so this happened about a year ago oh this email was sent in August okay okay so 2023 my husband and I were living in

29:00

this 100-year-old three room cabin in the wooded area of the Appalachian Mountains there has been many a tale written in to you lovely ladies about living in Appalachia so you don't need me to tell you about how creepy it can get there yeah so back to this cabin we have a bedroom SL living room on one side of the cabin and then a kitchen and dining room on the other side separated by a wall in a teeny tiny little bathroom in our bedroom right next to our bed is a shallow open closet where we store our winter coats and our shoes so now it's night time my husband and I have both gone to bed and we've probably both been out for about 3ish hours and I wake from my dead sleep for what I think is no apparent reason I don't really think about it and so I roll to my other side which happens to be facing this closet my eyes fall onto the corners of the closet and then I see this tall hulking black shape hanging there it creeps me out of at first but then I realized that I'm looking at our winter

30:00

coats that have been hanging there for the better part of 6 months so classic late night mistake right wrong so wrong but I don't know that at the time so thinking that I'm just seeing these coats I roll back over to my original side and I go back to sleep the same thing happens the next night and the next I wake up I roll over I see this black shape in our closet I roll back over I fall asleep because coats this whole time I know that I woke woke up out of a clean sleep to see this closet hole a clean sleep yeah what does that mean maybe just like opposite of interrupted sleep oh okay just like solidly sleeping and then okay suddenly I awoke so after all of this the next night we settle into bed we pass out and I have just the Wildest Dream I quote unquote wake up again and I'm laying on my back I see the Hulk again in this time it is not standing in the closet but over my husband and it's holding its hand over his nose and mouth and staring directly at me did I mention I was also

31:00

in total sleep paralysis at this point I could not move an inch I could barely breathe I was helplessly watching as this entity is pressing its gray rotting skeletal hand into my husband's face daring me to do something about it oh The Entity itself didn't have a face no red eyes nothing like that it kind of just reminded me of the Grim Reaper a little bit it was tall at least 6 feet it was bulky wearing black robes and a hood with a gaping black hole where his face should have been I also hate that like the hand almost seems more defined because it's the closest thing to her yeah like it's gray and fleshy and skeletal but then it morphs black into like the shadow say remind me of the Librarians from the acatar series this is what they look like I've heard it mentioned on here before that sometimes when you're in the middle of a paranormal experience you're not scared in the moment it's only when you stop to think about it afterwards that you say wow that was [ __ ] scary and that's

32:00

kind of how this next part went for me so I started trying to move my arm with every ounce of strength because no one and I mean no one tries to harm my husband and get away with it I have no idea how I did it probably helps that this was the dream version of me L but I actually did manage to get my arm up I swung it up and I slapped this entity's hand off of my husband's mouth with quite a bit of Gusto if I do say so myself oh my I thought she say slapped his like empty Shadow face I wish you bad ass let me tell you the visceral disgust that I felt as my hand hit this thing cold clammy hand I heard the wet smack it made as it made contact with this gross Rotting Flesh I absolutely know that this really happened on some level and there is no doubt in my mind but here's where it gets even crazier The Entity did not expect my baller move and promptly Drew its hand back while taking a step back at the same time I could

33:00

tell it was legitimately surprised by what had just gone down shocked by you it took another step back and then it disappeared I must have fallen back into deep sleep because the next thing I know it's morning the birds are chirping my dog is walking all over me looking for breakfast and the next night I happened to wake up and my curiosity got the better of me and I look back to that closet but this time no hulking black

The Shadow Man Encounter

shape the actual coats in the closet are completely differently shaped than what I originally saw I've never seen a closet ghost again stay spooky d d you scared the [ __ ] out of that shadow man like I imagine he went home and cried and was like you know in Monsters Inc when they are trying to scare and they have to fill the tanks for scaring like he went home and was just like had to go to therapy had to work through these like I've lost my touch his sense of reality was shattered it was like you if when someone's in sleep paralysis like you're perfectly safe to do whatever you want right and suddenly he's getting slapped I would be terrified of D like

34:00

this is the chosen person who can like go past all the bounds of our paranormal Powers what else is De capable of Mo is a her again his whole purpose is to scare people and to I don't know suffocate and steal souls and kill her husband and to kill de's husband and he finally met his match like I imagine he had to rethink his whole life's purpose oh yeah like the one thing he was meant to do and probably presumably was really good do you like how I'm like really concerned for the shadow person yeah I'm like also like fully picturing it in my head too like the him like withdrawing his hand and then like looking at her and then being like what the hell is happening like who is she and then like the steps backwards and now I'm picturing this like weird romance novel In My Head where this shadow person is now like watching D from afar and has been watching her ever since and like d is the mystery kind of like in t where myy and Edward can't stop yeah

35:00

being obsessed with her because he can't read her mind it's the only person who he can't read the thoughts of and so he's so entranced by her and he has never been touched by a human like that before wait I'm also just realizing that acatar has the exact same thing where reys like can't fully enter there there's like something where he's like not fully able to kind of like manipulate her or like see exactly see through it yeah or she has like a barrier yeah yeah huh huh D you're in a relationship with a demon I think a demon is both terrified and kind of enamored enamored by you confused by you you're going to be on that Demon's mind for eternity ever yeah you're the one who got away speaking of demon this has a photo actually and it is a creepy [ __ ] photo oo this is from our listener Emily a demon possible Incubus and laurona and no they didn't all walk into a bar hi ghouls I'll skip how much

36:00

I love your podcast and how it keeps me sane on my home health commutes and jump right into it I love how she's like I'll skip it but I'll tell I'll tell you very succinct though I've submitted this demon story before but I cannot find it anywhere in my sent email so I'm just going to go ahead and say the demon discarded it hopefully this one sends well he wouldn't be the first one that this happened to I have three very different stories but they're all very interesting you have my full permission to share my name and the names in these stories if read on the podcast so this demon story my friend Sam has always been very in tune and sensitive with the Paranormal we live can you guess in the great old Appalachian area which is Haunting in itself my friend Sam lived in an apartment with a longtime friend and roommate who I feel brought terrible energy wherever she went her roommate was never home so unfortunately Sam had to go through a lot of paranormal activity by herself I'm talking pole lamps turning on by themselves which I witness on FaceTime one evening oh my gosh waking up she had a witness that's

37:00

true waking up with scratches on a daily basis always in threes yeah marbles rolling out from her closet and Furniture that's so scary that makes me think of like a little demon child you know like want to play the marble it's like dear David look at them crouching like and she'd always have deep bruises on her body one particular evening she was home alone with her cat and sent a Snapchat of her fireplace and TV and her cat on her lap saying wild Friday night someone replied to her who's there with you to which she replied what do you mean they then sent the original image back to her and they had brightened it which showed I'll just show you the picture oh my God it is horrifying are you freaking kidding me I would think that there's actually like an intruder in my house that is so clear the hoodie the hand it's not even a hoodie it's like a hooded cloak it's like the The Entity D explained in the story before in the photo you can see a

38:00

full bodied Apparition and the cat is staring at it in the photo we have you can't see the cat because it's like the brightness level you can see needless to say Sam told me she grabbed her cat and left immediately she moved out soon after that instance which is obviously understandable um and I don't think she even stayed there again oh I like have the chills thinking about this especially with the you basically get to see your attacker because she was waking up with the three claw marks all the time like and now this thing is just kind of stalking and watching her and her cat can see it yeah we sent this image to our friend who studied demonology and he was like yep that is how demons present my God want to look at it again yeah it almost has like a dog face like it has like eyes and almost like a snout do you see it yeah oh yeah also like before really observing the face just kind kind of the silhouette and everything it looked so much like one of my old

39:00

co-workers who had this like beautiful curly black hair and then he'd always wear like a black hoodie and with a hood over his hair you should send him that picture and be like hey I saw this picture of you I thought was a picture of you miss you dang yeah it almost looks like I think it's Dune where they have those masks on my face and like the thing I know I was thinking that I was

Demon Stories and Sleep Paralysis

thinking the Hannah Lector mask a little bit too it's so I mean it's so clear it's so creepy Second Story this is Incubus sleep paralysis when I was in high school around 15 or 16 I was working on I was working on falling asleep is what it says I was like okay there we go I was working on falling asleep as it was a school night so you have to get to work because school requires work homework your homework is sleep everything is work everything requires effort sleep used to not be effort like to me like I used to excel the same like I I used to excel at sleep sleep was the best thing like it was my best attribute

40:00

well I think it's a developmental thing I think like from teens to like early 20s like you do your body is able to sleep no I mean like Rec 13 14 hours it was when I started going through like my trauma treatment is when my sleep changed oh and now you're just an insomniac yeah anyway now I have to work on sleeping too but okay so my older brother was in from college and would sometimes stay on the futon in my room but he was currently downstairs watching TV and as I was falling asleep all of a a sudden I felt immense pressure on my chest I felt like I couldn't move my body and while I was awake I couldn't open my eyes but I could hear everything that was happening around me and I felt something starting to work itself up my legs close to my nether regions now I may have been a teenager and my hormones may have been going absolutely crazy but I know for a fact I would not imagine a ghost trying to get freaky with me all of a sudden I heard a song turn on full blast from what sounded like it was my room but I couldn't place the song then

41:00

the pressure started to disappear and I heard something thumping up the stairs to my room as soon as that something hit the top step spoiler alert it was my older brother the music stopped the pressure was gone and I was able to open my eyes and be fully awake H my brother was running up the stairs to ask me why on Earth I had been blasting music at 3:00 a.m. which I quickly said I wasn't we checked the computer the piano anything that we could think of that could have produced the noise and found no music had recently been played he went back downstairs I tried to go back to sleep when it finally dawned on me I now knew what song I was playing it was Highway to Hell oh my God this feels like maybe a trickster ghost because I feel like this is but still the sleep paralysis and like the climbing up her legs is yeah I guess just like the music soundtrack I'm just like maybe some Demon just got promoted yeah and has a little bit of the that's a little cocky yeah yeah yeah that's how it feels right it's like a very in your face yeah like I'm going to

42:00

make this so blatantly clear I just watched there's like a new Rosemary's Baby and I think it's the trying to remember if it's the prequel or the sequel to the original Rosemary's Baby but it kind of reminds me of that yeah like they're trying to make a baby baby making m music highway highway hell that's terrifying it's also just so scary too like the the music blasting I feel like thank God it was though because then her brother was able to stop the whole thing that's true that's true I mean I feel like it's one thing to hear kind of like fate music where you're like am I making that up right but for it to just be blasting and blaring and that's even more proof of like being stuck in this paralyzed State like other people are hearing it it's actually happening around you but you cannot your body even though there's loud music happening and like your body should like the fight or flight in you should be like all right we're getting up and yeah like you're you're still trapped yeah I will say if any demon tries to do sleep paralysis to me please play music

43:00

really really loudly because then someone will come to save me hopefully yeah okay so this is my last story Laona content warning for talk of miscarriage

La Llorona and Maternal Spirits

this one's not really spooky but it's weird when I was pregnant I had absolutely crazy and vivid dreams one night I went to sleep and dreamt that laurona was coming for my unborn child while I was in the bathtub it was so vivid and while I never saw her I knew it was her I was in the water and I was being strangled and I kept saying don't take my baby and I attempted to put up a fight against her oh my gosh I woke up quickly and obviously super stressed out a few days later I experienced what I thought was a miscarriage however I was told it was a subcore onic hemorrhage 2 weeks after the suspected loss once I delivered the placenta my Midwife told me that I had actually been pregnant with twins and that must have happened when I had suspected the loss so maybe there was something thing to the dream oh who knows oh well that

44:00

makes it me scared because it makes me think that laa did take her babies right well that's it for now enjoy the demon picture and hopefully you can sleep after seeing it thank you for all you do and for the spooky Community see you on the other side Emily I'm going to rewrite law your own her right now okay okay there's two versions of her okay that I'm going to pitch okay one is that she's actually good and very motherly and she knows when she needs to like step in and and help and so she wasn't stealing them she was just helping them after they had by strangling Emily in the bathtub okay and then the other version is kind of like the Grim Reaper who gets a bad rep because it's like the Grim Reaper can do some things that seem a little scary and a little damaging and people are like is he killing them or is he just helping them I think move over yeah he's a guide so what if she could be a gu she's the baby Grim Reaper yeah

45:00

maybe I mean listen laurona is a very very powerful entity I would not want to mess with her but I I could see her being misunderstood and she desperately wants to be a mother right like isn't that the lore yeah although it isn't part of the lore that she killed her own children yeah but it was like after she was experiencing yeah maybe nowart psychosis essentially maybe now she's like taking care of the Lost Souls of babies MH and being a mother to them right and I guess like to give reason as to why she was basically like being strangled in the bathtub is maybe it wasn't an intention of harming her but rather it's just kind of a difficult thing to experience like in as my baby starts crying are you okay but I'm just thinking like with the child loss and pregnancy loss like she's still alive so it's like there's an entity kind of coming like through her and in her and so maybe that's why interesting I don't know I know that

46:00

this is I just this is sad so I don't want to I know it is really sad and I'm sorry for your loss Emily yeah but that demon photo is just horrifying that's terrifying we don't like it no that's a really good clear photo though that's like a very I mean it's like clear but not clear at the same time but it's like the clear for being a paranormal photo very clear I mean we literally started this episode with like hey send your photos and then I know ended it with a photo with a photo this is perfect thank you send us your photos of ghosts not anything else please and your pets if you want to include it for yeah that's true skinny pag tax lizard tax you know yeah would you ever own a a reptile no me neither what if Noah really wants a reptile well then he can have one but it depends on which one what if you wanted like a tarantula no what if you wanted like a giant snake I think it depends on what kind of snake if it's like a corn snake sure but if he's like I want like an anaconda then no are you going to be feeding the snake little mice these are hard questions I got to talk to Noah
