Listener Story: Growing Up Haunted

granted I didn't sleep last night but when I was going to bed my plan was I really don't want to wake up early and have to like do my hair cuz it was greasy it was like at that point where I need to shower and wash it so at like 3:00 a.m. I got in the shower and I just like took my hands under the water and like ran it like briefly through the top Roots I don't think it works it's an interesting approach I've never heard someone do that instead of just like Dy shampoo I don't have dry shampoo and also dry shampoo I don't know props to you if it works for you it does not work for me it makes my hair greasier oh interesting yeah well cuz it weighs it down like you're adding more stuff into your hair I also think my hair it takes a long time to get greasy but I did just put a gloss in it so it got greasier quick quicker and once it gets greasy it's like there's you have I have to shower and wash it I wash my hair every day which I know they say you're not supposed to but otherwise I just I think I'm super sens to smells

7:00

and I don't want my scalp to smell that you have shared this with us okay I also wash my feet and someone named Jake sent us an email this is my Pivot is it about washing feet called a story all call the Gatorade the bar in the closet oh my to the dearest matriarchs of the maob and mysterious me Triple M's my name is Jake yes you can use my name I must be honest I'm a bit contested on whether to share this or not whatever it was had such an oppressive effect on a couple years of my life alas here we are and this is a long one all right Jake but hoping it's worth the time that it takes to read it buckling in oh yes I'm hoping that sharing it with the intent of not keeping it so bottled up will help me move past it thank you for providing a platform for myself and others to do exactly that this experience has haunted my memories for years growing up in a pretty privileged area of the Chicago suburbs who stut sh sh everything should

8:00

have been fine my parents were married before I was born they're still married we never really wanted for anything but the other side of that coin is that so many people in my town seemed pretty fake to me it felt like this Hallmark Movie Picture Perfect and if you were not part of the In Crowd you were quickly pushed to the side to make way for those that were unfortunately being the weird autistic kid didn't contribute to any degree of social success here ever since I was in first grade before I was even diagnosed the other kids could sense that I was different everyone from the naughty kids to the preppy popular kids would take shots at me daily as if it was the cool thing to do oh I'm sorry that's so sad over the years this consistent feeling of being othered by my peers led me to develop a disdain for those around me and I lost a lot of faith in humanity I lost I know I lost the faith that I would ever find happiness and I just kind of gave up at many points in my childhood I remember being in my bedroom alone with the windows closed the blinds would start swinging slowly back and forth or a p of CDs remember those LOL would be pushed

9:00

over and topple off of my desk onto the floor and there was a time that my parents told me that the Gatorades that were downstairs are for school lunches only don't take them to drink around the house so as a bit of a daring kid I went around and I decided to grab one with the intention of sneak it up to my room oh special treat what flavor are you Jake what are you I'm a yellow Gatorade I'm a yellow Gatorade when I'm sick and a red when I'm not oh red tastes like uh syrup to me like a it does taste syrupy but I like blue tastes almost like I'm it's forgetting flavor for me oh I will confess I'm a blue Power raid zero gal and I still drink them like wow I crave them yeah it's an interesting move I know well Jake is craving the Gatorades in his childhood home back to the story back to you Karen as soon as my finger touched the Gatorade I heard a crash upstairs my picture in the hallway with nobody around it had fallen off the wall and shattered I had a couple of good friends that I stuck close to who were

10:00

the kids of my mom's friends and who went to different schools when I came out as gay things seemed to get even worse I secluded myself away from most people around me even my family and I found solace in music and other tasks that I could do alone After High School I went away to the National Guard to find a sense of selfworth and purpose and I found exactly that and things were going well however when I got home from basic training and intelligence school things took a turn for the worse oh no I went away to a college in Western Illinois I joined a fraternity to find some friends and I started performing my music for crowds around the state to the eye of many others I was happy I feel like all of my reactions in this story be like a I know oh Jake you're bringing us through a lot of emotions here we should get like a sound effect machine and just instead of me talking and Christine have that really yeah when you're reading a story instead of my reaction I'm just going to press buttons a like the crowd a there the Applause yeah to the eye of many

11:00

others I was happy I would go to a local venue during the day when it was empty to get on the stage and practice my performance program the light shows and just get some alone time this building was a former hotel and then a funeral home and now it was a concert venue and I always got the feeling that people who spent time there during their lives and or died there never really left often when I was practicing alone in the main room which usually held a couple thousand people I would hear chains rattling on the locked doors I'd hear Knocks footsteps and the like and at first this scared me but after a while I started to get used to it and I guess I was just a little more sensitive to the Paranormal than I thought H one afternoon I was programming a light show and I heard people coming into the room upstairs which was for smaller events I kept to myself as I usually do but then I heard more and more people arrive it was this how do I say this word Rous Rous oh ra R Rus yeah what is it Ruckus Ruckus no Ral I've like never seen it

12:00

written out so now I can't remember how you actually say it Rock rockus Ruckus okay rockus Chow in the Chowder clam chowder the rockus creamy creamy chowder

The Haunted Concert Venue

chatter sorry chatter and how long did it take us to figure out how to say that word and I still don't remember it we should leave that in struggle Jake Jake use different words for us insert synonym here loud chatter and the typical bar sounds like stools sliding around on the floor glasses clinking into each other and after about 45 minutes of this party upstairs I realized that there was no music going on and knowing the speaker system upstairs was a bit confusing to operate I figured I would head up and check it out as I walk up the stairs The Sounds got louder and louder as if I was approaching and about to peek around the corner and see all these people and see what they were up to the noise was almost deafening at this point however the exact moment that I turned the corner all the noise stopped as someone had just hit the mute button and there

13:00

was not a soul in sight this reminds me of that story we read where someone was at like a work building in England and they heard a party and saw like people in 1920s clothing and apparently the building had like housed a party before the people who were on the Titanic left do you remember that story yes I almost forgot that one well I didn't forget it but I almost forgot that it was from the podcast like I it almost feels like it was in like a Twilight the Twilight movie or something Twilight time the Twilight the Twilight movie you know Bella Jacob and the Titanic it all just goes together what are words I came to find out later that Not only was the upstairs area where the funeral Gatherings were held in the past but it was also an event room at the old hotel apparently a pretty well-known ghost hunting Squad with a TV show went there set up their cameras and when the ceiling fans were going on Full Speed they would stop abruptly and start turning the other direction and they also heard these

14:00

girls dancing they expeditiously packed up all their stuff mere hours into the investigation and left oh yeah almost forgot to mention the dancing girls the supply room for the DJs was through the upstairs bar and in the back rooms where the hotel rooms were still the room numbers on the door as the concert venue if I needed a cord or something in the middle of the night I would have to run up there and I would often hear these little girls dancing around and singing as many others did who dared at the end of the hotel H hallway I'll work and no play makes Jake a d boy Jake he sent in the email it's Jack in the movie but it's Jake in the seil oh I was like I was like are you having another we do not share the brain cell right now one of us has it yeah nobody has it it's it's floating somewhere I went on a walk around the block it needed a break it's like I cannot handle the weight of YouTube any long so annoying oh man um we're still on the

Dreadful Closet and Nightly Whispers

15:00

first email I know I lived with a couple fraternity Brothers during this time and they were a couple of the first good friends that I had in college I stayed in the back bedroom which was at the end of the hallway from the living room and kitchen area and the reason I bring this up is I would sit in the living room couch and I could see right down the end of the hallway and to my bedroom door in my bedroom was a large walk-in closet that seemed to have this like really weird energy emanating from it my bedroom was spacious and it was comfortable but whenever I would walk into the closet to grab a shirt or anything this sense of dread would overcome me that was so powerful it was hard to even put the feelings into words I tried to write this story down a couple times in the past when I was still living at the apartment to document it but whenever I got to this part of the story I would get the sense that something was looking over my shoulder at the computer screen and I would get that same feeling of dread so now we get to hear the part that Jake wasn't able to write Jake how did you finally write it I think he moved oh one day after living there for a couple months as I was in a dead sleep I woke up I looked at the clock it was 3:07

16:00

a.m. for about a month straight I would be awoken every night either by nothing or to the sound of my name being whispered exactly at 3:07 a.m. Jake it got to the point where I was up at 2:00 a.m. or whatever I would purposely stay up past 3:7 and then I would go to sleep so I wouldn't have to go through this terrifying experience every night and it only got worse when I would be alone at night in the apartment several times I could swear I saw shadow figures walk across the hallway out of the bathroom and into and through my bedroom door but whenever I shifted my gaze to try to figure out who I was looking at the person would be gone sneaky bastards as a proud nerd I've been playing World of Warcraft for years often long into the late hours of the night and because of the happenings I got an add-on for the game and I hid the local time clock so that I couldn't see when 3:07 a.m. appeared smart one morning I woke up at 2:55 a.m. and to try to avoid the 30:07 a.m. situation I logged onto the and I started playing I played for at least a

17:00

couple hours long enough that I was surprised the sun wasn't coming up and I eventually closed out of the game expecting it to be at least 5:00 a.m. in one moment I looked at the clock at the bottom of the desktop screen and it said 37 a.m. chill it's so specific I then felt a hand grab my shoulder and pull me back spinning my desk chair around but there was no one there spinning the chair around yes like face me I went outside and I walked around the complex until the sun came up that night still nearly every night I would be awoken to either nothing or to something Whispering my name at exactly 3:07 a.m. the climax of it all all came one night when I again woke around 2:30 a.m. I turned on a few episodes of Family Guy I turned my clock around so that I could not see the time and after a while I heard something Bang into my window like a rock so I open up my window which is on the second floor by the way and I look down and there is is a dead black bird on the ground still twitching and a

18:00

smear on the window I turned around I saw a shadow figure walk across my room right in front of me and directly through my closet door my TV then turned off on its own I turned the clock around for some reason unknown and it was no 3:07 a.m. this sounds like the SM of possession too it does it also very like Haunting of Hill House oh yeah kind of like trapped in this like different reality and Vortex I'm surprised how much October episodes have bled into this one I know Karen who are you when I was searching for things I'm like finding these emails oh what's this intriguing thing a few weeks after that luckily it was near the end of the semester and I was moving out we moved out during the middle of the day and I went into the closet even in full sunlight and I felt that same oppressive force that had become so familiar and I ended up just leaving a bunch of personal belongings in there for someone else to deal with because there was just no way I was willing to go back in there

19:00

again wow years later as I felt happier and I started to get my life together more and more these things have mostly stopped happening but a few nights ago I woke up again at 3:07 a.m. and I just turned over and I went back to sleep it could have been coincidental but a few weeks ago I also had a mirror in my room that fell off the wall on its own and shattered what time I don't know I have chills thinking about it I'm tired of what whatever it is trying to take over my happiness and I'll no and I will no longer let it take control for all I know the mirror could have been something completely unrelated I don't know if these experiences will ever stop I just seem to have figured out that the happier I am the less power it has and I'm fighting it by just trying to be the best possible Jake that I can be cheers hope you enjoyed this story I look forward to going to a live event one day meeting you both in person thank you again for giving me the opportunity to share and we got some dog taxs of

20:00

course cute pix of the dog little baby pix of the dog from Jake Jake I'm sorry that sucks yeah I mean people are so shitty to to begin with like growing up is hard puberty is hard and if you feel like you're not feeling like you fit in with the like neurot I hate using the word like neurotypical but it's like when it's the a certain crowd that has like a certain belief and certain expectations of you yeah stereotypical and then you become the person that they all want to bully like that is so incredibly shitty and I'm so glad that Jake did find things that helped him feel good and then some [ __ ] [ __ ] entity sorry I don't know why I got taken over like that um well it's upsetting cuz both the living and the dead are kind of coming after Jake rude and like get out yeah sorry Jake that I mean that sucks and I I was really hoping that it ended with that one place you lived in and hopefully it was just a coincidence waking up at that same time hopefully

21:00

yeah I just decided to pull up that London Titanic episode or email oh okay great because we talked about it and I feel like half the time when we do that we never remember what episode it was or anything found it so I found it and I figured I'll just read it again it's originally read on encounters 130 which is the same episode our listener James sent us that Scottish Lake boy ghost picture oh my God yeah that one is that has had its rounds on the internet a lot of people seen that so I'll just read the like the blur about the haunted London office I'm very impressed with myself for like remembering the details like that I know CU normally there's been so many emails that we've tried to repoll to like highlight in certain things and we can never find them this came out in 2021 so I'm just going to read the haunted London office this is from our listener Jimmy I'm a designer living in London and I used to freelance in and around the capital for various brand agencies I was booked for a contract sketching up a secretive brand identity pitch for the London 2012 Olympics this particular gig was for an agency based in the Strand which is a

22:00

major Street in the city of Westminster and it's built on the river it's pretty much an old word for by the river the agency was on a floor of a large building between the penguin Publishers and the Savoy although the design of the studio was a contemporary bright white walled space the old fabric of the building still remained in places with old polished Oak ballustrades and beautiful Victorian tiles very characteristic spaces and at the time I wondered what did this original buildings used to look like so I was asked to work the weekend to meet a deadline I was shown a small Studio that I hadn't seen before below the main office where I could work in secret straight away the space felt claustrophobic and stuffy I was completely alone so I got to work and I let myself out that night no spooky stuff but I did have to go back in on Sunday I got to work the next day really late I go to the office in the afternoon typical British weather overcast drizzly and dark when I got there the entire building was empty I walked through the

23:00

main studio and I couldn't help getting the feeling of a creepy atmosphere with a large office with empty chairs and desks with people's abandoned possessions strewn all about now that I know what the back rooms is it kind of has that energy yeah I made my way down an old stairway that led to the small windowless office and I began working I was there only about half an hour when I heard some laughing I looked toward the windowless door and the Laughing stopped so I carried on and a few minutes later I heard people talking and I could hear clinking glasses someone was having a party next door I thought okay I'll go out later and see if I could swipe some drinks then after a while I heard a piano playing and the sound of dancing sounded more like a party that you would imagine at the Savoy next door seemed like an ideal time for some hair of the dog so I got up swiped my key card that let me out through a corridor towards the party as I swiped my door card I could hear the sounds of the party getting louder and louder and I was like

24:00

okay I don't really know anyone so I'm a bit apprehensive but you know what a few drinks in it should be all right as soon as I pulled the doors open the sound of the party stopped it's hard to describe the chill that came over me I stood Frozen with disbelief I was totally convinced I was walking into a room full of people only to find an empty Hall full of old chairs and desks with a computer server blinking in a corner and wires running all over the floor

The Titanic London Party

immediately I had the feeling that I was totally alone in a huge spooky building like the Stanley Hotel in The Shining so I literally ran out of the office Looking Back Now remembering myself running out of the office seems totally crazy but on Monday I reluctantly returned to the main office and I described the story to my buddy Nick as I was doing so a girl overheard us and excitedly said you heard the guest I told her what happened and she said oh yeah that room's haunted no one will rent it do you want to know why obviously I didn't but she continued well this building used to be a big

25:00

hotel and they had a huge party here the guests were really Posh but it was their last party in London because the next day they all left for Southampton they were all passengers on the Titanic well there you go I still get the chills when I think about opening those doors and the sound cutting off too freaky from Jimmy I don't remember what we said when we first covered this but this is making me curious about like residual stains and if the like somehow knows when a tragedy is about to happen and like the moments before people's death is like recorded and that's weird yeah because why would everyone choose to go back to that moment and have a party well okay I think it could be residual just in the sense that going on the Titanic was such a big ordeal that maybe this like last party before going just had such a resounding energy that left the residual haunting that it's not an active haunting of a bunch of people having a party but just such good vibes were

26:00

being had yeah hopefully I kind of hope it's that rather than although the Titanic has so many hauntings I know that's actually what I sent you last night at 4 a.m. was the Titanic exhibit Danelle Danielle went from National Park after dark went and she is like convinced that she lived a past life and died the I know yeah I asked her how long it took her cuz I was like will I be able to swing going to this exhibit schule she said you can whip through it she said she read every single word of every single sign and it took her like an hour hour and a half to do it okay so you can do it potentially the subject line of this next one I'm excited about it it intrigued me it intrigued me as well it's called The Chicken Man Fred The Ghost and the living doll my childhood home you picked two stories that have three like almost like lion tiger and bear oh my oh my clearly that's my formula yeah that's how me the crappy Patty whereas for me you get me with demon or like something sexual cuz

27:00

I'm a teenage boy pervy ghost demon shows me as genitals and you're like hell yeah hell yeah hello ghostesses I'm late to the podcast game but recently found you a few months ago I've listened to at least two episodes a day at work and I'm absolutely stoked to have found you thank you to everyone who listens at

The Chicken Man and Childhood Hauntings

work thank you for haunting your workplaces or your homes exactly or your cars I've had so many paranormal experiences in my life and due to my family's reactions I've kept it pretty quiet and to my myself until a few years ago when I started to be more open about things I love listening to your podcast it's made me feel less alone and you're doing great work and you're entertaining AF gosh I wanted to share my experiences in my childhood home outside of Cincinnati we moved into the home when I was around 5 and lived there until I was 11 or 12 so where to begin I guess I'll go in chronological order as best as my memory well allow one of the most traumatic and memorable paranormal moments in my life was soon after we m moved in I woke up in the middle of the

28:00

night to the chicken man at my window he was about as tall as my desk and his head was just above the window cill he had a man's body but what looked like feathers on his skin human hands holding a stick or a staff and a beak like a chicken but an otherwise human face we just recorded the episode 296 about the 72 Demons of Solomon like why am I picturing one of those demons you should flip through your cards and try to find them I put them away okay not spook you thanks I was sitting up in bed and I was staring at this thing not sure what to do and then he pointed out the window and started talking to me he was speaking clear English with a low and fluid sounding voice when I think about him I hear his voice and I'm getting Goosebumps right now just remembering it anyway he told me to look at the stars because they were showing me things what a weird little spirit guide you might have the man well there is one of the demons that is like astrology based and

29:00

life lessons I mean a lot of them are like that and a lot of them did look like birds so maybe it was we got to we got to go back in reference I was looking outside confused and asked what he meant and he just kept saying look at the stars I was so scared but eventually I did get the courage and I ran to my parents' room and that night I slept on the floor next to their mattress another time the chicken man visited me and he told me this is like a reoccurring thing reoccurring chicken man yeah another time when he visited me he told me that my mom had been stabbed and was bleeding out so I ran into my parents again and I woke her up and she was totally fine except she was annoyed that I woke her up and was very unhappy that I refused to leave the bed for that night that's so weird cuz the first one seems so like look at the stars your dreams look to the stars and then it's scary that's how they get you they low you in under false pretenses TR yeah it's kind of like Peter Pan yeah you know Captain Hook The Lost Boys BFG I went to um what's

30:00

that place called it's like a antique barn it's the one day that I ran into on the street anyway like every Sunday they have like the flea market but the house which is always there the top floor is just old clocks thousands of them kind of creepy but kind of cool but kind of cool it looked like hooks room oh yeah it reminds me of stranger things now too with clock just chiming the rest of the activity in my room was eerie but I don't know if it was related to the chicken man I sometimes saw a woman standing next to my closet and I heard footsteps at night my mom told me that it was blood in my ears what against my pillow I've never heard that as an excuse oh you're just hearing the blood rushing through your body from your ear being on your pillow I've literally never heard that ever I think your mom has got something going on with her ears her inner ears or maybe that's what her mom told her when she was growing up about the ghosts yeah don't worry not activity the knocking

31:00

and whispered voices is just the blood pumping through your ears yeah you're just hearing your own blood yeah that's probably grosser so then I started sitting up and I would still hear them only to become more and more scared because they would loudly walk into my room when I sat up not the blood in my ears at all yeah nope I had a large teddy bear that sat next to my bedroom door and on more than one occasion I saw him get bumped knocked over or moved while I was awake listening to these footsteps and of course my mom did not believe me and we got into so many fights about all of this and at the same time my sister started sleepwalking we all this happening in tandem it's the blood in your ears it makes you do weird things and would you me a possession I guess so it's telling you to go downstairs and hover in front of the blank TV rocking back and forth for 4 hours and eat a snack we would often find my sister downstairs in the kitchen in the morning I was also prone to throwing up in my sleep oh my God and would wake up with a cold vomit all

32:00

over my pajamas in the morning that's

Living Doll: A Seance Gone Wrong

horrifying I think there are possessions going on well that's also so dangerous yeah and to not wake up when you're throwing up like it's one thing to like wake up from your sleep because you're throwing up but to not wake up and just be covered in vomit horrifying I literally thought that this was all normal kid behavior until very recently doesn't everyone throw up in their sleep as a kid LOL how long dides this go on for my God I don't know I had such scary violent nightmares most nights which became so normal for me that I still have a twisted sense of what is considered a nightmare to most people I understand that because my brother and I also experience that and when we talked to my dad before about nightmares we realize like but your dad just generally doesn't have like intrusive thoughts no he's just a sweet little like nightmar like a coyote was chasing you and I'm like oh mine was like I watched your fingertips get plucked off and then someone made me eat them yeah a little different little bit okay sure yours sounds scary

33:00

too Dad I befriended my neighbors in the following wait can I just tell you one more thing so Noah doesn't let obviously you know this he doesn't let anyone feed him except for me like Brian like no one mother-in-law has tried my mom has tried Nikita tried when she's here Brian tries all the time everyone tries for some reason this past weekend Noah decided and we think it's because me and my dad look exactly the same say is this Grandpa's allowed to feed him Grandpa's allowed to do anything just put a wig on Bill during the diaper change I was like oh my God we do need to start putting you in a wig down cuz then you could just be full-time Nanny here he's like your face looks about right that's so funny close enough wow I befriended my neighbors in the following years as more kids moved into the houses around me my best friend lived across the street and one day while watching TV I saw an old man in a gray suit walk through his kitchen I asked if it was his grandpa and he said no there was no one there except for his parents and I saw that same man a while later walk from the driveway into the garage and I

34:00

ran in to go find him but the man was not there I lost track of the amount of times that I saw the same old man just randomly walking around their house their backyard the street in front of their house I started to call him Fred so that was the name I like it he seems like he's just living there yeah it does seem like just an old resident maybe who just was family member or something yeah yeah but it is interesting too that it's like not just hanging out like with the family he's just going about own let me go look at the front yard look at the RO dungeons yeah and see if the come oh my God there's rabbits are eating them again the other kids in our friend group would play along when I said I saw him and I started to get frustrated because he was real and this was not a game so I decided that I should cast a spell to show him to my friends now this is in the '90s there's no internet there were no TV shows that I had access to but in hindsight I somehow managed to host a freaking Seance on their front lawn sometimes it's just intuitive mhm it's that blood

35:00

in your ears it's running the blood in your ears it's whispering to you how to what to do everyone gathered around they held hands repeated a madeup spell of mine and I was asking Fred to show himself to the group and it worked no way only one girl saw Fred but she burst into tears upon realizing that the man standing by the tree was none other than Fred and that he was real oh I just got chills all down my body the scary part for me was that I hadn't realized that Fred had never acknowledged or even looked at me up until this point but now Fred was staring at me he's like you called yeah or like wait you can see me it took a while to calm down the girl who saw him and of course my mom got mad at me for upsetting her what about for conducting a sence on the front lawn did that stop us from now deciding to try and have everyone in the group see Fred no it did not like talk to me yeah it is it's

36:00

addicting we kept trying more ritualistic things to summon him and we got random activity like voices things were moving a tween girl with brown hair random kind of activity but nobody else got the full visual of Fred was this smart for a bunch of nine and 10 yearolds to be doing on a regular basis no did we have parental supervision also no now for the living doll oh I don't like how that sounds I know my bestie was still not a believer in Fred and would often tease me about ghosts and monsters and one day we went into his basement he had this large doll that we found in a storage area like probably 3 ft tall and he was joking about her being a living doll because she had some ghost trapped in her and of course I was not believing him so what did we do I decided to do another little kid Seance to see if he was telling the truth and see if I could see stuff happen during this it was just the two of us and he was laughing the whole time and I was also kind of half joking about it because I knew he made it up and we were

37:00

just these bored kids and bored kids will be bored kids and accidentally create a haunted living doll yep that is basically the next line Joke is on both of us because something moved the arm of the doll into an up position so we both froze and we waited I asked if someone was there with us and then the doll arm went down again and she fell over so we hauled our asses out of there over yes which does feel like the doll wasn't possessed it was something like actually likeing moving it a Marette sort of style teasing them we hauled our asses out of there we told his dad to put the doll back into storage and he didn't bring her out ever again I like that he listened I know well yeah I think they weren't actively using the doll so yeah just put it away you're scaring you're scaring the neighborhood kids scaring the kids if I hadn't experienced so much other stuff at this house adult me would probably just think that it was some wildly strong and well-timed Breeze in the windowless basement but there were too many other things that proved paranormal activity for me to still

38:00

think that this could have been a coincidence I still don't think anyone was attached to the doll but maybe just used it to show their presence okay yeah yeah same thing agreed that's all I'll right about this house at least since this is already a kind of long email when we moved to another house I was both relieved and a little disappointed at how quiet it was in comparison I started sleeping a lot better in the new place and I wish I had this podcast as a young person to help me feel less isolated I used to check out the haunted

Visitations and Messages from Beyond

Ohio books in middle school just to make me feel a little less crazy a I still experience a handful of very definitive paranormal things every year but now I've accepted it and started to just be a little bit more open about it thanks for creating this safe and spooky space for us that felt like a tongue twister to say see you on the other side Katie I want to know about the chicken man it sounds like the chicken man was just one house then and and clearly not good and like everything up yeah look at the stars and now your mom is dying yeah that's creepy very creepy and I do think

39:00

you should look to the Stars your answers are in the stars I don't know but we should look at these demons because maybe we'll find basically the chicken man maybe it's kind of like one of those things where he has those swing little pendulum where he's like oh astrology isn't it cool but I'm also a demon right we'll take a look I'll flip through them like a little flip book see what the demons are up to I am glad that moving though did get rid of the nightmares and the lack of sleep what I do think the takeaway from this is though is Katie you're a witch you had a seance successful Seance or two actually two at least at like nine or 10 years old right and it just came naturally to you and you were like oh wait I want to prove that this thing is real I think a lot of children like their minds would go like oh we're creating a ghost trap let's make a box and Twig and like you know like you you craft these things together it's like imaginative play but for Katie just came naturally that was like well no we need to have some sort of atmosphere where we call upon them and summon them in we need to communicate with the dead and that

40:00

happened to UK at 9 years old that is that's wiy Behavior that's witchy Behavior that's a cool merch Behavior okay we're doing it no it goes we will do it two girls one goes do Behavior that's such a good smack your teeth my tooth on I have a CH tooth for the rest of this also I'm about to get my period like in any SEC any second I thought you already did get it a couple days ago it's the on like the incoming but I just a zit literally formed on my back a zit literally formed on your back I heard as it literally formed on my back I thought you were like doing like the infant version of a diaper blowout I thought you were like trying to tell me blood was spewing up your back no no okay as I like spread eagle sit here no thank you for comparing me to a baby blowout while I am not having a baby blowout one of our listeners is my I don't know didn't really work but this is from my listener Caitlyn she her and

41:00

she said you might want to hold the uh subject line but I can't because it's too funny and also I am ending with some heartwarming possible penis wielder in a past life and more heartwarming stories as we said earlier put penis in the subject line and I will Sabrina will grab it it not the penis yeah don't don't actually put one oh I don't want to grab your penis ew boys okay I'm a tad bit behind and was listening to your most recent encounters episode of past life and reincarnation stories and it finally prompted me to write in the one experience I have with a possible past life so one day when I was either two or four I walked in on my mother changing my newborn brother I dead I looked at her and said in the most casual way I had one of those but it fell off as I pointed what in the game of my brother's penis and then I said but it will grow back someday in the next life life I was referring to my brother's penis and I remember saying

42:00

this so I was probably four apparently afterwards I just turned around and walked out of the room my God so was this just a past life moment slipping through will I be a man in my next life I'm happy in my female body this life so there's no chance that it's this life regardless the story still cracks me up and I figured yall would enjoy it too it's more on the light-hearted side and my last email was filled of stories of a mimic that tried to lure me out by copying a cat's meow so I figured this email should be nice and friendly so for the heartwarming stories both of these are stories about visits from loved ones who had passed on firstly my grandmother Dale or Dada as I called her was a badass and a redheaded fiery woman she loved a good wine Texas wild flowers and the word spiffy she always said that I was a woman after her own heart and she was everything I aspired to be unfortunately she lost her battle with breast cancer that had metastasized into various other places in her body in April of 2015 it breaks my heart to

43:00

this day that I wasn't able to visit her more in her last days I hadn't seen her in probably 6 years when she passed due to me living and having an incredibly full high school and college career she lived out of state so it was difficult to visit on a college income level but she made sure that we could see each other one last time the night of her passing I had a dream or what I think was a dream regardless that night I was nudged awake by my lovely grandmother saying that she came to say goodbye I'm crying while writing this I got out of bed fully newe just as I had gone to sleep TMI probably but this is what makes me think it wasn't a dream but more maybe in the astral realm I gave my grandmother the biggest hug oh as she said goodbye and in this moment I wasn't sad I felt peace like she was simply waking me up before going on a small trip that next morning I received the call from my father that she had passed over in the night I knew the fact that she came and visited right away it was like she passed and was like hey I know I've I have a job to do

44:00

and that's to say goodbye and I love you yeah I knew the second that the phone had rang that it was the news of my grandmother passing I told him I knew because she had come to say goodbye to me that night we just cried for a bit after that we spread her ashes at the Austin wildf Flower Center as the wild flowers were always her favorite I got a tattoo in honor of my beloved grandmother and it includes all of her favorite things wine the Yellow Rose of Texas and the words stay spiffy and the pink evening primrose and Nod to her battle with breast cancer and her love of wild flowers a the stay spiffy I love that part too what a good addition yeah secondly was my grandpa Melvin now he was my stepgrandpa but I still saw him more growing up than my real grandparents as he lived two doors down from us we weren't particularly close but I enjoyed his company still and that's just how he came to me in a dream before his passing my grandpa passed away due to co and was in a coma for the last few days of his life the night before his official passing is when he came to visit me I was in a giant white

45:00

waiting room or a museum like building that had large pieces of artwork on the walls I spoke briefly with another Melvin that I knew from life when he led me to a little cafe there sitting quietly was my grandpa Melvin it's almost like context C or Clues yeah being given to make sure she knows it's him right which is as you were saying this not to diverge I'll be super quick but remember I think it was like Karin part one or whatever when we recorded that I was talking about my friend Sam from middle school who had passed away when he was a freshman in high school I was in eth grade and I had a very specific and weird dream about him that made absolutely zero sense to me but it was all specific clues for his parents to know that it was a visitation and a wild there was my grandpa Melvin I sat down with him and we honestly just sat there in silence for a bit then he flashed me his famous crooked smile and that was it the next morning is when I yet again got the call that he had passed our encounter wasn't very much but it was very fitting for our interactions in life it was his way

46:00

of telling me and the family that he was okay I don't believe anyone else was visited by him but my dreams have always been slightly prophetic so maybe I was the easiest to contact his funeral was one of the hardest I ever had to attend mainly because of Co and not being able to hug my grandmother on the hardest day of her life a but these dreams felt so real to me as most of my prophetic dreams do I'll write about more of those sometime I thankfully only seem to predict happy moments apart from these two instances of people passing but they still were happy moments for me that I treasured deeply I hope youall enjoyed these stories give Leia treats for Me Karen congrats to you and Brian on Baby Noah motherhood is a terrifying concept to me but you seem to be handling it well I'm so proud of you well that's nice of you to say uh from Caitlyn she her oh my gosh I mean Caitlyn clearly there's so much love within the family too but like beyond that it feels like cait has this ability to be an easy Channel

47:00

because there's so many people that so badly want to be visited by their loved ones and it seems to come a little bit more with ease for Caitlyn like there's this access point where it's just people can kind of pop in and be like hey I'm curious about the other dreams that Caitlyn's had because is it all family does Caitlyn get dreams about strangers cuz like these two dreams I would say are visitations where prophetic to me I my brain goes to like telling the future or something to come yeah ominous warnings but it sounds like they're all good but I'm curious yeah well you owe us another email yes you doom and all of you owe us emails too because we know you're haunted and we have heard from so many of you that you have ghost stories and that you have not emailed them to us so this is your sign this is your call to action please email us any of your paranormal encounters to two girl go podcast at gmail.com you can check out our patreon we have a live
