  Speaker 1: My name's Jonathan, and there was a time when I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: used to suffer major sleep paralysis episodes. I used to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: wake up in a vegetative state where I knew I
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: was conscious, but there's no way I could move my body,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and during that state, I experienced some pretty bad hallucinations.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: These episodes occurred so frequently that I still can't figure
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: out how much of it I hallucinated and how much
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of it actually happened. Because there is this one time
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: where things got real freaking the hell out of me.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: In the beginning, it started with me waking up at
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: night feeling stuck in my own body. I could see, feel, here,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: everything around me, but couldn't act on it until my
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: body was released. Slowly, this state turned into a more
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: complicated condition. For example, I woke up one night and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: saw myself standing near the bed and watching myself. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how terrified I was. After breaking free,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I decided to see a psychiatrist for this. Doctor Berman
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: gave me sleeping pills and said, with time that it'll pass.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: He said there's no particular treatment for sleep paralysis other
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: than improving sleep habits, including going to bed at the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: same time every night. Insuring a comfortable sleep environment, free
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of distractions, and avoiding caffeine before sleeping. I followed his
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: instructions and for a month I did quite well, But
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: things took a bad turn all of a sudden. One night,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I dozed off on my living room couch and it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: happened again. There's not much furniture in my apartment because
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I recently moved in. Apart from the couch, there's a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: TV set, a lamp, and a rocking chair. The chair
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was already in my apartment before I moved in. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: think it belonged to the previous tenant, and I let
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it be, as it was extra sitting arrangement for me.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I woke up with the same feeling of being stuck,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: but this time neither I saw myself nor I felt alone. Instead,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I saw someone sitting in the chair and rocking back
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and forth. I could tell it was a woman, probably
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: in her late seventies. The most terrifying thing about experiencing
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: sleep paralysis is that you will know that you're awake,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but you'll also know that you're seeing something that isn't
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: there in real life. I knew there's no one in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: this apartment except me when I saw this woman sitting
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in her rocking chair. She didn't turn her face towards
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: me and made a single sound. She just rocked back
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and forth. This phenomenon started to occur every night, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I was confident that it was all my imagination, because
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: as soon as I broke free from the state of trance,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the lady was gone. I told my psychiatrist, doctor Bergman
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: about this, and he too said the same thing, that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it was nothing but mere hallucinations. I opted for meditation
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: before going to bed because Doctor Berman said it would
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: help my sleep, and I did it for a few weeks.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I was almost feeling relieved that I stopped having further episodes,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: until one night I experienced a living nightmare. I had
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a friend over let's call a Matt for the sake
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of the story. Matt and I watched a football match
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and drank a couple beers. Matt drank a bit too much,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: so he stayed the night at my place. Around three
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a m I heard heavy breathing from a very close distance.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: horrifying face leaning over me and looking directly into my eyes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Her white, frail hairs were all over me it was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that woman who rocked in the chair. I wanted to scream,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but I realized that I was having an episode and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: started telling myself that it wasn't real, that this is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all my imagination. The woman then spoke to me, you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: think I'm not real? Huh. I was gasping for air
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: as I couldn't breathe out of this shock. She got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: up and started walking to Matt's side of the bed.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I watched her approach my friend with a sinister smile.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: She slowly came near him and then leaned on him
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in the same manner. Her jaws then started to stretch
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: into a huge hollow mouth and started devouring Matt's head.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: She was eating my friend's head like a python gulps
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it's prey. Saliva was dripping from her mouth, and Matt's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: head was completely inside it. I can't explain how terrifying
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that scene was. She looked at me with her hungry
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: eyes while sucking the life out of my friend. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to break free and pull Matt out of her mouth,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: but I couldn't do anything but lie like a living corpse. Suddenly,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: my alarm went off and I sprung on my bed screaming.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Matt woke up with this shock and the lady was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. What the hell, bro what happened
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that woman? She was? And I passed out without finishing
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: my sentence. Matt took me to the hospital. The doctors
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: thought I had a panic attack in my sleep due
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to the fit of intoxication. My psychiatrist, doctor Bergmann, was
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: also informed and I stayed in intensive care for a week.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Matt still doesn't know what I saw that night, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever be able to tell him.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I no longer live in that apartment, but before leaving it,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I asked the landlord about the history of that rocking chair,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to which he told me many years back. This apartment
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was a healthcare unit for mentally deranged people. They had
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: lots of violent patients, among which one patient was the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: most dangerous. It was a sixty five year old lady
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: who couldn't stand children in her sight. She was brought
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to the unit after trying to devour a newborn from
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a local hospital. People claimed her to be possessed, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: some even thought she was a practitioner of witchcraft. At
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: her young age, she used to sit in that chair
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and rock back and forth all night and all day
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: after knowing, I don't think anyone could have stayed in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that apartment. But the surprising thing is that no one
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: lived there before I saw this lady or experienced anything
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of the sort. I don't know if I imagined her completely,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because I knew nothing about her when I started hallucinating her.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: The other most terrifying thing was that last week I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: met Matt in a nightclub. He was there partying with
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: his colleagues. I noticed a ring of bruises on his forehead,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: which wasn't there before. As I asked him what happened
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to his head, he gave me a very weird reply.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He paused and looked at me for a few seconds,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and then said I must have fallen from my rocking chair.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Before starting the story, I would suggest you guys to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: go subscribe to the channel. It turns out that most
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of you guys who watch me aren't actually subscribed. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: if you like the content want to support the channel,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: go ahead and subscribe and hit the bell. It's free,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and you can always change your mind. Later. I was
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in college when I met Marcus. We became friends in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: no time. Marcus and I were also part of the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: popular group, hence we were always around each other. We
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: went to a party at a friend's house and Marcus
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: asked me to be his girlfriend. Everything happened so fast
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that I barely gave it a thought on whether I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: loved him or not. When I looked back at it now,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I feel the reason I said yes was to remain
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in the popular group. Everyone in the college started addressing
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: us as the most popular couple, and I enjoyed all
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the attention. Anyways, after dating for four months, I moved
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to his place because that's where our entire group used
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to hang out most of the time. It was a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: rented house with two bedrooms, a living area, and an
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: open kitchen. Marcus and I shared the big bedroom, which
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was at the end of a long core door. The
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: other bedroom mostly stayed empty unless one of our friends
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: passed out after a heavy night of drinking. I won't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: go into too much detail about a relationship because that's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: not important. Regarding the incident I'm about to share, Marcus
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was a party animal, and almost every night he drank
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: himself to the core and passed out on the bed.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: On a similar night like that, we partied hard and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Marcus went to bed. I was bidding goodbye to my
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: friends as they all started to leave. We wrapped up
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: earlier that day because we had an important seminar to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: attend in the morning. I cleaned the living room a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: bit and started to walk to the bedroom to get
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: some sleep. The house was feeling extremely quiet as the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: loud music and crazy laughter ended for the night. I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: was almost close to the bedroom when I heard a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: gagging sound. I quickly entered the room, thinking maybe Marcus
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: is feeling sick, but what I saw creaked me out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Marcus was still lying on the bed with his eyes
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: wide open, staring at the corner of the room. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: could tell he was trying to move, but he couldn't.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: It was as if he had no control over his body.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Seeing me enter the room, his gaze shifted at me
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and his eyes turned even wider, as if he had
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: gotten ten times more scared. I rushed over to him
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and started screaming, Marcus, what's happening to you? Get up?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But he couldn't move a single muscle. I got so
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: freaked out that I started calling our friends, when suddenly
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he gasped and rung out of bed. It was as
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: if he broke free from a state of trance. He
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: was breathing heavily and his body was shaking with fear.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, are you all right? What the hell
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was that? Water? Just give me some water. I immediately
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: poured himself a glass of water, and Marcus drank it
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in one go. I waited for him to calm down,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and after ten minutes, his breathing finally became normal and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he got up. He went to the washroom, splashed water
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: on his face, and came back to bed. I said,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in a worried voice, do you want me to call
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: our friends? We can take you to the hospital if
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you're feeling sick. I'm fine now. What happened to you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a few moments back? It was sleep paralysis. God, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: haven't felt that way in a long time. It's nothing
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to be worried about. Why were you staring at the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: corner of the room. People hallucinate during sleep paralysis. I'm
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: telling you it's nothing. Even though I heard many things
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: about sleep paralysis, this was the first time I witnessed
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: someone having an episode like that. We slept on the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: matter and the next day didn't tell any of our
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: friends about it. Marcus behaved as nothing happened, but one
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: thing kept bugging me. What did he hallucinate that night?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Time went by and this memory started to fade away.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Marcus started drinking almost every night, and I didn't like
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: this anymore. We had several fights about his drinking habit.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: One night, we had a huge brawl right in front
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of our friends. Everyone got awkward and they called off
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the party. That night, Marcus slept in our common bedroom
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and I locked myself in the guest bedroom. That night,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I cried myself to sleep and passed out on the bed.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: It must have been two thirty in the morning when
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I opened my eyes and found the door wide open.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I remembered very well that I locked the door. As
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: soon as I stepped into this room. I heard footsteps
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: outside the room. I wanted to get up and see
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: who it was, but no matter how much I tried,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I couldn't move a muscle. Was I experiencing sleep paralysis.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: My heartbeat got faster as I realized what happened to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Marcus that night is now happening to me. I can't
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: explain the scariest feeling from that moment, but it was
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: like I was all awake in a terrifying dream. Soon,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the footsteps started to come closer, and I saw a creepy,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: bony hand grabbing the wall adjacent to the door. I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to close my eyes, but my body was not
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in my control. Slowly, a dark figure started to lurk
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in behind the wall. A pitch black face peeked right
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: into the room, and I saw a pair of eyes
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: staring right at me. They were such big yellow eyes
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: with no eyeballs inside them. I wanted to scream, but
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. The figure then gave a huge grin and
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I saw his rotten gushing out of his bloody gums.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Just then I heard footsteps coming towards the room, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I woke up, screaming out loud. Sally, Sally. Marcus was
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: banging on the door and calling my name. Surprisingly, the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: door was locked this time. I somehow stood up and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: stumbled to the door with trembling hands. I opened the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: lock and fainted on the floor. When I woke up,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: sunlight was flooding the room and birds were chirping in
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the sky. Marcus was sitting right next to me with
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a worried face. He asked me why I screamed last night?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And I told him everything I saw. But as soon
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: as he heard about the yellow eyed man, his face
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: turned pale. He said, in a fumbled voice, is this true? Please?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Don't make things up. Why would I lie? Marcus? I'm scared.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: What is happening to me. I've never experienced sleep paralysis before.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I know it was just a hallucination, but it felt
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: so real. Marcus kept quiet for some time and then
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: held my hand. There's something I didn't tell you that night.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: What night, the night you saw me having sleep paralysis?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I looked at him with confused eyes, and he went
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: on saying, when I was thirteen years old, I had
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: my first episode. I watched myself sleeping. In that episode,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was just a dream, Hence I didn't
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: bother with it. But as time passed, I started seeing
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: this dark figure walking into my room and sometimes standing
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in the corner. I've never seen someone so scary. It
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: was a pitch black human figure, or like a shadow.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The only thing that stood out in his feature was
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: his yellow eyes and a terrifying grin with rotten, bloody teeth.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: My mom took me to see many psychiatrists, and after
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: heavy doses of medication, I somehow stopped having experiences like that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: But that night, after a really long time, I saw
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: him again. He was standing in the corner of my
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: room and watching me. But when you came into the room,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I saw him standing right behind you. That's why I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: got so freaked out. But is it possible for two
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: people to hallucinate the same thing. I shouldn't have brought
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this on you. We both felt paranoid and had no
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: idea what to do about the situation. I mean, there's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: no way we could share this with someone without being
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: labeled as crazy. We had no other choice than to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: keep it in us. Also, I didn't have any episode
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: after that night, which is why I thought to ignore
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: this matter. Until one night things got out of hand.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I woke up again in the same manner, binding myself
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: caught in a trance. I could see Marcus deeply asleep
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: beside me, and no matter how much I tried, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: couldn't wake him up because I couldn't move or scream
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: at all. He gazed at the room, waiting to get
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: shit scared by that yellow eyed man once again, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't see anyone around. My breathing got heavy, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I waited to wake up when I suddenly heard a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: chuckle right next to my ear and looked at the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: side and saw the yellow eyed man lying next to me.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how horrifying he looked, and I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: almost felt my heart would stop, but I just blinked.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Once the man was gone, I got up, panting in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: fear and started to wake up Marcus. Get up, Marcus,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: he's here, Please, you must get up. While pushing him vigorously,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I kept my eyes on the door, expecting the yellow
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: eyed man to return. But suddenly Marcus sprung on his
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bed and started to strangle me. He choked me with
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: all his strength and I kicked in the air and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to free myself. The pressure on my chest made me
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: feel that my heart would explode. Just then I finally
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: woke up. Yes, that was the craziest sleep paralysis experience
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: one could ever have. Marcus was still asleep, and I
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: realized that this sleep paralysis episode is just getting worse
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: from me. I couldn't sleep the entire night. Next morning,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't say a single word to Marcus and moved out.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: We still dated to the end of the term, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: things changed between us. I was too scared to spend
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: nights with him, and he had this guilt, which he
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: obviously didn't deserve. We parted ways, and it's been seven
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: years I haven't heard from him. I don't know how
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: we both hallucinated the same thing, but whatever it was,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I consider that phase to be the darkest time of
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: my life. I still don't know whether that yellowed eyed
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: man was real, because Marcus never told me about him
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: until I saw him myself. What do you think? So
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: this happened in recent times, and honestly, I don't know
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: what to believe anymore. I'm a twenty three year old male.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: When I was ten years old, my cousin Judith lost
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: her parents in a car accident. My parents adopted her
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and we grew up together. She studied in the same
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: school as me and moved out as soon as she
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: turned eighteen. Even though my mom tried to be a
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: mother figure, Judith always kept her distance from us. I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: know she created a wall after losing her parents. After
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: moving out, she cut all ties with us. My parents
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: sent her gifts on her birthday, but she never returned
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: our calls. Last week, my grandma called me saying Judith
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: has arrived and she's in very bad condition. My mom
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and I rushed to see her. She was a completely
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: different person. Her pretty face was filled with scratches and scars,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: her nails were filthy, and her eyes were always moving.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Judith got into severe heroin addiction. We took her to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the doctor's and helped her get over it. I still
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: remember those nights when she woke up screaming because of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: her withdrawal. She scratched her skin so badly that her
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: flesh tore up and started to bleed. I had to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: come back for my work, but my parents stayed with
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: my grandmother to take care of her. I stay in
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a one bedroom apartment. One night, I was sleeping in
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: my room. Suddenly I woke up hearing a knock on
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: my door. I got up and walked to the main door.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, who could it be at this hour
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of the night, when I saw Judith standing in front
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of me. I obviously didn't expect her because last time
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: when I talked to my mom, she told me Judith
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: was living in rehab. Judith, how did you get here?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Is everything all right? Judith didn't say anything. She just
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: smiled and slowly walked in. Her face was different this time,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: she was looking calm and pale at the same time.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I closed the door and followed her into the living room.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: She stood near a shelf and kept staring at our
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: childhood photograph that I kept there. Judith, this is everything fine?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Does Mom know you're here? She turned around and kept
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: staring at me as if she forgot to speak. I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: got worried, thinking she might have escaped from rehab and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: came here. I was going to call my mom and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: let her know about this when the phone rang. Sit down,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be back in a minute. I went back to
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: my room and picked up the call. Surprisingly, it was
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: my mom. Hey Mom, you won't believe what happened Judith.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But before I could finish, I heard my mom crying
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: over the phone. Mom, what happened, macs. Judith is no more?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: The people called from rehab. She slashed her wrist with
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: broken glass. Poor Judith. My senses went numb. My heart
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: was pounding in my ears. If Judith is dead, then
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: who the hell is standing in my living room. I
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: slowly turned around, and there she was, standing right behind me.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I screamed and passed out on the floor. When I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: woke up, I saw daylight coming from my window. I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: slept on the floor the entire night, but I couldn't
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: tell if it was a dream or I imagined everything.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: The next day, I went to my grandmother's house to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: attend Judith's funeral. I didn't tell my mom about that night.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: After the funeral, my parents insisted that I stay the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: night at grandma's. We had a quiet dinner and went
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to sleep. My parents and Grandma slept downstairs. I slept upstairs.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Judith and I used to share this room when we
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: used to travel here during our summer vacations. I couldn't
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: help to think about Judith. That night. I dozed off
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: thinking all this. When I heard my alarm going off.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I opened my eyes and realized that I couldn't move.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I could only move my eyes, and it took me
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a few seconds to understand I am having sleep paralysis.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: My breathing increased rapidly. It was the most terrifying state
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of mind one could ever experience. Before going to bed,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I hung my jacket behind the door. I kept staring
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: at it while wanting to break free from the situation.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: When my jacket started to float in the air, it
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: started to come at me, floating on its own. When
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Judith appeared from the darkness. She stretched her hands and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: showed me her slit wrists. Blood was dripping from her cuts.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: She didn't say anything, she just stood there. Suddenly I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: wiggled my toe and understood my body had been released.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But Judith didn't disappear this time. She stood there, staring
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: at me with her wide eyes. I asked, in a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: gasping voice, what do you want for me? We never
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: did anything wrong to you, We loved you. Stop torturing
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: me like this. My mom rushed into the room hearing
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: my voice, and as she opened the door, she saw
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Judas standing near my bed. Judith turned at her and
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: screamed in a demonic voice. My mom didn't even get
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the time to scream, she just fainted on the floor.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: We had to hospitalize her as her pulse dropped rapidly
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and she had a mild heart attack. I stayed the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: entire night at the hospital. The next morning, my mom
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: regained consciousness. She started crying, and I tried consoling her. Mom. Please,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we've done enough for her. It's no one's fault that
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: she There's something we never told you. Max. We thought
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: of you, knew you would think the same thing. Judith
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: thought about us. What is it, mo'am. Judith wasn't your cousin,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: she was your sister. What what are you saying? I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: got pregnant when I was in high school. Your father
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and I weren't in the position to take responsibility of
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a child, so we gave her up for adoption. But
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: fate always plans differently for each one of us. Your
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: uncle and aunt were childless, so they went for adoption,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and look at my luck, they ended up adopting my daughter.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Even though it pained me to see my daughter being
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: raised by some one else, I couldn't do anything. We
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: wanted to tell Judith, but we didn't want to take
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: her away from them. As more time passed, I started
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to notice something different in Judath's behavior and appearance. I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: found bruises on her body and came to know that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: your uncle and aunt abused her. We immediately confronted them
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: about this violent crime, and a huge brawl took place.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: They took Judith with them and got into their car
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to escape. Your father and I chased them, and unfortunately
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: they met an accident in their way. We saved Judith,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: but your haunt and uncle died. She took a pause,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and the silence in the room started killing me. I screamed,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: why didn't you tell me that she was my sister?
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you all these years you made us live
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in a lie. The situation was such and we didn't
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: want to escalate the matter further. Oh soo we got
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Judith back, didn't we adopt her and shower her with
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: all on love? Oh my god, you must be kidding me.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Showered with all your love? Your daughter never knew her
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: real parents. She grew up in an abusive home, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: that's the reason why she took her own life. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: could have saved her. You could have saved her. How
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I could have saved her. I bolted out of the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: hospital an in furious anger, and saw my dad standing
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in the hospital corridor with a fragile face. I looked
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: at him and said, you knew all this time. It
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: still kept your daughter away, still kept my sister away.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'll be able to ever forgive you.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: That's the last time I saw my parents. It's been
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: three years since. I haven't met or talked to them,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: But every sixth of August I wake up in the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: same state of trance where I can't move a muscle,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and I see Judith standing near my bed, crying tears
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: of blood. I don't know if it's her ghost or
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: my guilty conscience, the regrets not doing enough for my sister,
