5 Rental Home Experiences That Went Terribly Wrong · Paranormal Activity

0:00
Speaker 1: Last November, I turned off the highway into a two
0:03
Speaker 1: pump gas station in the middle of nowhere at around
0:06
Speaker 1: one thirty in the morning. I guess I was kind
0:10
Speaker 1: of zonked from how tired it was, because as I
0:12
Speaker 1: drove my car up to the pump, everything seemed as
0:15
Speaker 1: normal as could be. My eyes were locked on the
0:18
Speaker 1: pump display as I filled my car up, trying my
0:21
Speaker 1: best to not go a penny over thirty bucks. So
0:24
Speaker 1: was only when I walked over to the kiosk to
0:26
Speaker 1: pay that I noticed something was off. The first thing
0:29
Speaker 1: that got my attention was how there was no one
0:32
Speaker 1: manning this kiosk. At first, I just waited, thinking the
0:36
Speaker 1: employee was just taking a quick bathroom break or something
0:39
Speaker 1: of that nature. But then as I started to look around,
0:42
Speaker 1: I realized the driver of the car at the pump
0:44
Speaker 1: in front of me was nowhere to be seen either.
0:47
Speaker 1: They weren't in their car, and they weren't inside the
0:49
Speaker 1: convenience store. So my first thought was how the driver
0:53
Speaker 1: and the gas station attendant must have been both in
0:56
Speaker 1: the back of the store. I guess I got this
0:59
Speaker 1: momentary check thinking I might have interrupted a robbery or something,
1:03
Speaker 1: and I was suddenly very hesitant to knock on the
1:06
Speaker 1: glass or call for service. I remember turning to check
1:10
Speaker 1: out the car parked in front of me and thinking,
1:12
Speaker 1: if it's Honda, then I'm getting out of here. But
1:15
Speaker 1: it looked to me like it was a two thousand
1:17
Speaker 1: eleven three Series. Now, if you don't know cars, Hondas
1:21
Speaker 1: are easy to steal. B m W's, on the other hand,
1:23
Speaker 1: not so much. And while that didn't completely preclude the
1:27
Speaker 1: possibility that there was a robbery in progress, it reassured
1:30
Speaker 1: me enough that I started knocking on the glass and
1:33
Speaker 1: asking if there was any one there. I knocked once,
1:36
Speaker 1: and then twice, and then after the third time, I
1:39
Speaker 1: knocked in the glass in as many minutes, and it
1:42
Speaker 1: hit me that something highly unusual was clearly going on.
1:46
Speaker 1: My first thought was to try the door to the
1:48
Speaker 1: convenience store. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be locked,
1:51
Speaker 1: but when I pushed the door swung right open for me.
1:56
Speaker 1: I walked up to the counter, calling out hullo the
2:00
Speaker 1: whole time, and then thinking there might have been some
2:04
Speaker 1: kind of medical emergency, I jumped the counter and took
2:07
Speaker 1: a look around the back of the store. There was
2:10
Speaker 1: a bathroom in a storage room and a small office,
2:13
Speaker 1: but all three were unlocked and empty. Then and only
2:17
Speaker 1: then did I realize that the entire gas station was
2:20
Speaker 1: completely deserted. I checked around the back just to be sure,
2:25
Speaker 1: but I figured that there'd be no one there. And then,
2:28
Speaker 1: once I was one hundred percent shore something seriously weird
2:31
Speaker 1: was going on, I pulled out my phone and got
2:33
Speaker 1: ready to dial nine one one. I wasn't still one
2:37
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure what to do, so I called out
2:39
Speaker 1: HULLO again, but much louder, and when that got no response,
2:43
Speaker 1: I called the cops. I could tell that, at first, anyway,
2:47
Speaker 1: that the despatcher thought that I was just some jerk
2:49
Speaker 1: customer who was angry my gas station attendant wasn't there
2:52
Speaker 1: when I needed them. But once I had properly explained
2:55
Speaker 1: that there was literally no one to be found anywhere
2:58
Speaker 1: on the premises or elsewhere, she started to take my
3:01
Speaker 1: call a little more seriously. She asked where I was,
3:04
Speaker 1: and when I told her, she asked if it looked
3:06
Speaker 1: like there had been a robbery. I remember asking how
3:10
Speaker 1: the hell would I know, but she explained that if
3:13
Speaker 1: there had been a robbery recently, an employee might still
3:16
Speaker 1: be hiding somewhere. And I felt this sort of twinge
3:19
Speaker 1: of frustration, because, like I said, I'd looked probably everywhere
3:23
Speaker 1: except the dumpster around the side of the gas station,
3:26
Speaker 1: and as I'm walking back from checking out the highway
3:28
Speaker 1: for signs of life, I just so happened to be
3:31
Speaker 1: passing it as the thought to open it popped into
3:34
Speaker 1: my head. I wanted to be able to say to
3:36
Speaker 1: the dispatcher there. I even checked the station's dumpster. There's
3:40
Speaker 1: definitely nobody here, ma'am. But when I opened the dumpster,
3:45
Speaker 1: there they were. I only caught a glimpse of what
3:48
Speaker 1: was inside before I dropped the lid of that dumpster
3:50
Speaker 1: and backed off like the thing was radioactive, But a
3:54
Speaker 1: glimpse was enough for me. There were two bodies in there,
3:58
Speaker 1: all bent out of shape, with dark stains all over
4:00
Speaker 1: their clothes, and one of them was almost certainly wearing
4:03
Speaker 1: a gas station uniform. I remember saying something like oh Jesus,
4:08
Speaker 1: oh my God, pacing away from the dumpster in a
4:12
Speaker 1: state of total shock, with the dispatcher in my ear, Sir, sir,
4:17
Speaker 1: tell me what's going on, sir, And I told her
4:21
Speaker 1: there in the dumpster, Jesus fucking Christ, theren the goddamn dumpster.
4:27
Speaker 1: The cops arrived in about ten to fifteen minutes. Then
4:30
Speaker 1: by then I'd run off near to the highway to
4:33
Speaker 1: puke up all the contents of my stomach, and I'd
4:36
Speaker 1: remembered that thing about preserving the integrity of crime scenes,
4:39
Speaker 1: so in a wild panic, I'd actually puked as I
4:42
Speaker 1: was running, then had to hold puke in my mouth
4:45
Speaker 1: for a few seconds before I puked even more out
4:47
Speaker 1: near the highway. And after that I just walked back
4:51
Speaker 1: and forth, hitting my vape until I saw a cop
4:53
Speaker 1: car heading towards me down the highway, and then after
4:56
Speaker 1: talking to one of the officers for a few minutes,
4:59
Speaker 1: he told me I free to leave. I look the
5:02
Speaker 1: whole thing up online the first chance that I got later,
5:05
Speaker 1: but although I found a bunch of stories about a
5:07
Speaker 1: member of the public yours truly, finding some bodies at
5:10
Speaker 1: a gas station, there was nothing that explained how or
5:14
Speaker 1: why those two people had been killed. Ever since, I've
5:18
Speaker 1: always been extra careful while driving at night, both in
5:21
Speaker 1: the sense that I keep a very close eye on
5:23
Speaker 1: my fuel gauge and try to avoid any nocturnal pit stops.
5:27
Speaker 1: But also if a gas station looks a little too quiet,
5:31
Speaker 1: I'll avoid it altogether and just head to the next one.
5:45
Speaker 1: I used to work nights at a gas station called
5:47
Speaker 1: North Star Mart out near a place called Foster in
5:50
Speaker 1: rural Virginia. I used to drive up from Gloucester, get
5:54
Speaker 1: there at around ten pm, and then work all through
5:57
Speaker 1: the night until six am when my boss, a dude
5:59
Speaker 1: name jud came over to relieve me. Judd lived right
6:03
Speaker 1: next door to the gas station, in the big old
6:05
Speaker 1: house that he claimed that he built himself. There was
6:08
Speaker 1: no way that he built that whole thing on his own,
6:10
Speaker 1: but he was far too nice for me to call
6:12
Speaker 1: him out on it, so I just let it be.
6:15
Speaker 1: He was a great boss too. I mean that from
6:18
Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart. Not many folks can say
6:20
Speaker 1: that they had a boss who had done almost anything
6:23
Speaker 1: to keep him safe, but I can. And it makes
6:26
Speaker 1: me feel a little guilty sometimes that I don't head
6:29
Speaker 1: up there to visit him more. But I don't like
6:32
Speaker 1: driving around Foster anymore. I don't like going anywhere near
6:35
Speaker 1: the place. But by at the end of this story,
6:37
Speaker 1: I think you're going to understand why I worked at
6:41
Speaker 1: the North star for nine months and three weeks, working
6:44
Speaker 1: anything from two to five nights a week, depending on
6:47
Speaker 1: how busy he was at school. Not a single customer,
6:50
Speaker 1: and all the time I worked there ever gave me
6:52
Speaker 1: a single ounce of trouble. It was one of the
6:55
Speaker 1: best jobs I ever had in that respect. It was
6:58
Speaker 1: always a little busier on weekends, but during week nights
7:01
Speaker 1: I'd sometimes serve only two or three customers a night
7:04
Speaker 1: and spend the rest of my time watching movies on
7:06
Speaker 1: my iPod, back when that was like a revolutionary thing
7:09
Speaker 1: to do. Jud was really chill like that. He didn't
7:13
Speaker 1: give me a bunch of cleaning tasks, and he didn't
7:15
Speaker 1: give me any busy work at all. Actually, and he'd
7:18
Speaker 1: only ever had one rule. If anyone ever showed up
7:21
Speaker 1: late at night acting weird in any way, I was
7:24
Speaker 1: to call him right away. It didn't matter if the
7:27
Speaker 1: call woke him and his wife up from the sweetest
7:29
Speaker 1: dreams they'd ever had. If anyone was acting sketch, JUD
7:33
Speaker 1: wanted to know about it. I figured that was fair enough.
7:37
Speaker 1: The gas station was Jud's whole life, it was his
7:39
Speaker 1: retirement plan, so if it went up in flames, well
7:42
Speaker 1: you see where I'm going with this, So, even though
7:45
Speaker 1: it felt slightly emasculating, as in I felt like I
7:48
Speaker 1: could take care of the station myself. I agreed to
7:51
Speaker 1: give jud a call every time there was any disturbances.
7:55
Speaker 1: When he first told me about his little golden roll,
7:58
Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I said that it didn't make
8:00
Speaker 1: me a little nervous. I guess it suggested that there
8:03
Speaker 1: were a lot of weird people who came by the
8:05
Speaker 1: gas station at night. But that couldn't have been further
8:08
Speaker 1: from the truth. Like I said, nine whole months and
8:12
Speaker 1: not a single instance of weird or disturbing behavior. And
8:15
Speaker 1: then one night it happened. I was in the back
8:19
Speaker 1: office one night, splitting my attention between security monitors and
8:23
Speaker 1: a copy of The Dark Night Rises, when I suddenly
8:26
Speaker 1: saw a lone figure approaching the gas station. We had
8:30
Speaker 1: three cameras, one facing the pumps, one facing the approach
8:34
Speaker 1: to the store, and a third which allowed me to
8:37
Speaker 1: watch the inside of the store from the back office.
8:41
Speaker 1: I can see the guy walking towards the store, past
8:43
Speaker 1: the pumps, and then into the view of the second camera.
8:46
Speaker 1: But then, instead of walking into the store like literally
8:49
Speaker 1: everybody else, he stops dead outside the door. He's right
8:54
Speaker 1: in the view of the second camera, so I'm looking
8:55
Speaker 1: at the sky fairly close up. And he looked like
8:58
Speaker 1: a perfectly regular, rural Virginian dad type. He looked like
9:03
Speaker 1: he had work boots on, some faded jeans, and the
9:05
Speaker 1: baseball cap with some kind of hunting or fishing logo
9:08
Speaker 1: on it. Literally the most unremarkable looking guy that could
9:11
Speaker 1: ever walk through our door, but his behavior most definitely
9:16
Speaker 1: got my attention. I guess it's not entirely true that
9:20
Speaker 1: nothing weird ever happened, because there was one previous occasion
9:23
Speaker 1: where I called jud in the middle of the night
9:25
Speaker 1: some crazy lady was screaming like a demon out near
9:28
Speaker 1: the pumps. It was a Saturday and had to be
9:31
Speaker 1: maybe four to four thirty in the morning. But just
9:34
Speaker 1: like Judd said, I gave him a call to his house.
9:37
Speaker 1: I told him about the lady and how her screaming
9:39
Speaker 1: was freaking me out. He asked for a description. I
9:42
Speaker 1: gave him one, and then he tells me, oh, that's
9:45
Speaker 1: just Ronda lickered up on pay Day. She'll head home
9:48
Speaker 1: once she's tired herself out, and then you know what
9:52
Speaker 1: she did. She eventually stopped screaming and then just kind
9:55
Speaker 1: of walked off, like she was done with that night's performance.
10:00
Speaker 1: The guy in the sporting goods cap stopped dead and
10:03
Speaker 1: just stood there in front of the camera, not moving
10:05
Speaker 1: a muscle. Not nearly as freaky as screaming like a banshee,
10:09
Speaker 1: but still weird none the less. I figured he was,
10:13
Speaker 1: I don't know, taking a moment to think or something.
10:17
Speaker 1: But then as I'm watching him, his head starts slowly moving,
10:21
Speaker 1: turning his neck until he's staring into the camera lens.
10:25
Speaker 1: I know it was just an illusion, but it felt
10:27
Speaker 1: like he was staring directly at me, and that was
10:30
Speaker 1: easily one of the most unnerving sensations I've ever experienced.
10:35
Speaker 1: Once the guy's behavior reached a concerning level of weird,
10:38
Speaker 1: I grabbed the phone and called Jud. I didn't even
10:41
Speaker 1: feel emasculated doing it either. Whatever that guy's problem was,
10:45
Speaker 1: it wasn't meth It was something way scarier than that.
10:49
Speaker 1: Judd picked up the phone, then once again he asked
10:51
Speaker 1: me to describe the person acting weird. I started describing
10:55
Speaker 1: the guy, and then the next thing, jud slams the
10:58
Speaker 1: phone down. I look back at the screen and the
11:01
Speaker 1: guy's disappeared from you, But he's not in the store either,
11:04
Speaker 1: something where the hell's he gone? But at the same time,
11:08
Speaker 1: I'm also thinking, why did Judge just slam that phone
11:11
Speaker 1: down on me? He told me to call him if
11:14
Speaker 1: something weird started to happen, and the first time he
11:17
Speaker 1: sounded sleepy but pretty calm, so I was wondering what
11:20
Speaker 1: was so different about that time. When I suddenly see
11:23
Speaker 1: him on the monitors. Jud was running towards the gas
11:27
Speaker 1: station in nothing but his box or shorts and a
11:31
Speaker 1: wife beater, and he was carrying a shotgun in his hands.
11:36
Speaker 1: He burst into the store and asked me where he is. Then,
11:39
Speaker 1: when I say the guy just disappeared and that I
11:41
Speaker 1: think he just walked off, jud runs past me into
11:45
Speaker 1: the office to check the monitors. I'm freaking out too,
11:48
Speaker 1: because what the hell's he carrying that shotgun for? But
11:51
Speaker 1: no matter how many times I asked him what's going on,
11:53
Speaker 1: he kept silencing me and telling me that I needed
11:56
Speaker 1: to concentrate as he ran back to the security footage
11:59
Speaker 1: to get a look at the guy's face. I watched
12:02
Speaker 1: him rewinding the footage until he finally found what he
12:05
Speaker 1: was looking for, and when he did. I watched Jud
12:09
Speaker 1: turn completely pale. Whoever it was, jud was terrified of him,
12:16
Speaker 1: so terrified that he felt the need to come running
12:18
Speaker 1: over with a shotgun to protect me, and then that
12:22
Speaker 1: scared the hell out of me too. Judd sent me
12:25
Speaker 1: home that night after calling the cops, and the next
12:27
Speaker 1: day he called to say that he'd understand if I
12:30
Speaker 1: didn't want to come back to work. I asked, just
12:33
Speaker 1: one time if he could tell me who the man was,
12:35
Speaker 1: and jud paused and then repeated the part about understanding
12:38
Speaker 1: if I didn't want to come back. I thanked him
12:41
Speaker 1: for the job, wished him luck, and then just hung up.
12:44
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, I still feel guilty about not
12:47
Speaker 1: going up to see him more. He was a great
12:49
Speaker 1: guy and a great boss, But without knowing who that
12:53
Speaker 1: guy was, without knowing why Jud was so scared of him,
12:57
Speaker 1: I couldn't put myself in the position of working for
12:59
Speaker 1: him any more. I didn't want to die for some
13:02
Speaker 1: stupid gas station job, no matter how cool my boss was.
13:06
Speaker 1: And if there was a guy out there who scared
13:08
Speaker 1: the hell out of one of the toughest sons of
13:09
Speaker 1: bitches I'd ever known, then what chance in hell did
13:13
Speaker 1: I have.
13:21
Speaker 2: My mom used to work the night shifted a gas
13:23
Speaker 2: station in the early nineties. This is one of those
13:27
Speaker 2: mom and pop gas stations, so typically there was only
13:30
Speaker 2: about one person working the station at a time. During
13:35
Speaker 2: the night of the story, my mom's schedule had overlapped
13:38
Speaker 2: with one of her coworkers for two hours because there
13:41
Speaker 2: had apparently been an armed robbery in the same area
13:43
Speaker 2: the night before, so the owner was a bit concerned
13:47
Speaker 2: about being the next target of the robbers. After about
13:51
Speaker 2: two hours, my mom's coworker leaves. About a half hour later,
13:56
Speaker 2: there was a golf girl that comes into the station
13:58
Speaker 2: and buys a pack of cigarette The girl is fidgety
14:02
Speaker 2: but polite. My mom tells the girl to have a
14:05
Speaker 2: good night, then begins to clean the hot dog case.
14:09
Speaker 2: As my mom starts cleaning, she notices that the girl
14:12
Speaker 2: doesn't leave the station. The girl then starts walking around
14:17
Speaker 2: for about five minutes, just looking at random items in
14:20
Speaker 2: the shelves. My mom finally stops what she is doing,
14:24
Speaker 2: and she then asks the girl if she needs anything.
14:28
Speaker 2: The girl goes up to the counter and tells my
14:29
Speaker 2: mom that her car ran out of gas just up
14:31
Speaker 2: the street, so she needs to get some gas. The
14:35
Speaker 2: girl doesn't have a gas can, so my mom grabs
14:37
Speaker 2: one of the gas cans from behind the counter and
14:39
Speaker 2: then tells the girl the price of the can. The
14:42
Speaker 2: girl then says that she doesn't have enough money for
14:44
Speaker 2: the can. Mind you, she literally just bought a pack
14:47
Speaker 2: of cigarettes. My mom kind of wears her heart on
14:51
Speaker 2: her sleeve more than she wants to sometimes, so she
14:54
Speaker 2: tells the girl that she'll buy the gas can for her.
14:58
Speaker 2: The girl then smiles and thanks my mom. My mom
15:02
Speaker 2: lets the girl know that she doesn't have enough money
15:04
Speaker 2: to buy gas for herself, let alone for somebody else.
15:09
Speaker 2: The girl seems to accept this and then thanks my
15:11
Speaker 2: mom profusely. Goth girl says she has someone she can
15:16
Speaker 2: call who will stop by the station and give her
15:17
Speaker 2: some gas money. My mom then asks if she has
15:21
Speaker 2: enough change for the payphone, and the girl says yes.
15:25
Speaker 2: She thanked my mom yet again for the gas can,
15:28
Speaker 2: then leaves. My mom is really good at reading people,
15:32
Speaker 2: and while the goth girl seem polite, there's something about
15:35
Speaker 2: the whole situation that was really giving my mom bad vibes.
15:40
Speaker 2: My mom looks at the surveillance footage that gives an
15:42
Speaker 2: outside view of the station. Instead of walking to the payphone,
15:46
Speaker 2: which is just left of the front door, the girl
15:49
Speaker 2: starts walking to a van that's parked really close to
15:52
Speaker 2: the station's exit. The girl then walks up to the
15:55
Speaker 2: passenger side of the van and she starts talking to
15:58
Speaker 2: someone who's inside the van. She points a few times
16:02
Speaker 2: at the station while my mom is secretly praying she's
16:04
Speaker 2: not about to be robbed. The conversation between goth girl
16:09
Speaker 2: and whoever was in the van only lasts about a
16:11
Speaker 2: minute or two, and my mom just watches as the
16:14
Speaker 2: goth girl starts walking right back to the station. The
16:18
Speaker 2: goth girl comes back to the station and she tells
16:20
Speaker 2: my mom that she had got some gas money from
16:22
Speaker 2: her uncle, but then when she tried pumping gas, she
16:25
Speaker 2: had some trouble with the handle of the gas pump.
16:28
Speaker 2: Minds you, the gas pumps of the station are literally
16:31
Speaker 2: your basic no thrills pumps. The girl then asked my
16:35
Speaker 2: mom if she could come outside and help her. My
16:38
Speaker 2: mom pretends to be calm, but she then starts to
16:40
Speaker 2: panic on the inside. She then tells the girl that
16:44
Speaker 2: she can't leave the station, so she asked the girl
16:46
Speaker 2: to try another pump. The girl says she tried them all,
16:50
Speaker 2: but she just can't figure out how they work. She
16:54
Speaker 2: asks again if my mom would come outside and just
16:56
Speaker 2: show her how one of the station's pumps work. My
17:00
Speaker 2: mom apologizes, and she then explains that she's not able
17:03
Speaker 2: to leave the station unattended or she'll be fired. She
17:08
Speaker 2: tells the girl that there's a gas station just a
17:10
Speaker 2: block up the street and that they always have multiple
17:13
Speaker 2: employees on staff, so she should be able to get
17:15
Speaker 2: someone to help her over there. The girl starts to whine,
17:19
Speaker 2: and she starts to let out this really eerie sort
17:22
Speaker 2: of snarl. She then gives the fakest big smile she
17:25
Speaker 2: can muster and tells my mom that she'll only be
17:28
Speaker 2: gone for a minute and that she really needs my
17:30
Speaker 2: mom's help now. When she said that she really needed
17:34
Speaker 2: her help, her teeth were clenched and she started stomping
17:37
Speaker 2: up and down like a pouting toddler. Goth girl then
17:41
Speaker 2: starts breathing excitedly like she's a rabbit animal or something.
17:45
Speaker 2: At this point, my mom then drops all pretenses of
17:48
Speaker 2: being nice, gives the girl what she calls her cold
17:51
Speaker 2: bitch smile, and then says, so, by the way, I
17:56
Speaker 2: saw you talking with your friends outside, and I already
17:59
Speaker 2: called the cops and gave the your friend's license plate number.
18:02
Speaker 2: They should be here in just a minute. They're so
18:04
Speaker 2: fast in this town. My mom was, of course bluffing,
18:09
Speaker 2: and luckily for her, the girl seems to believe her.
18:12
Speaker 2: Goth girl quickly leaves the store and gets inside the van,
18:15
Speaker 2: and right before she can fully shut the side door,
18:18
Speaker 2: the van is then peeling right out of the parking lot.
18:21
Speaker 2: My mom did wind up calling the police later on,
18:24
Speaker 2: and then gave a general description of the van and girl.
18:28
Speaker 2: It didn't take too long for the police to find
18:30
Speaker 2: the van. It had apparently been abandoned on the side
18:33
Speaker 2: of the road near a wooded area. The girl and
18:37
Speaker 2: her friends had used hammers and box cutters to destroy
18:39
Speaker 2: the van's interior. The police didn't know what the girl
18:43
Speaker 2: and her friends had planned to do to my mom,
18:46
Speaker 2: but they said whatever it was, it probably wasn't even robbery.
18:51
Speaker 2: My mom wound up turning in her two week notice
18:53
Speaker 2: shortly after this happened. My mom's advice to anyone listening
18:58
Speaker 2: to this story is to all always trust your gut
19:01
Speaker 2: instinks they just might save your life one day.
19:10
Speaker 3: So this was earlier this year. I moved to a
19:13
Speaker 3: different town and was finally settled into my new place.
19:16
Speaker 3: It was the night before Christmas, and family was coming
19:19
Speaker 3: by early that morning, so I spent the evening cleaning
19:22
Speaker 3: and prepping for the next day. All was well. I
19:26
Speaker 3: was in high spirits and crawled into bed. It was
19:29
Speaker 3: the first time that I was hosting Christmas, so I
19:31
Speaker 3: was a bit too anxious and giddy to fall asleep.
19:35
Speaker 3: I knew that I should sleep soon, but I was
19:37
Speaker 3: just wide awake, so I played on my phone a
19:40
Speaker 3: bit and just passed the time. It was about maybe
19:44
Speaker 3: ten pm or so, But then suddenly I'm in the
19:49
Speaker 3: car with my husband on the highway and he's pointing
19:52
Speaker 3: at something in the sky, frantically yelling what is that?
19:56
Speaker 3: And the next thing I know is that I'm groggy
19:58
Speaker 3: and waking up, and there's lights around me and a
20:01
Speaker 3: dark shadow, and it feels like this finger is pressing
20:05
Speaker 3: my temples and something is on my head. I vividly
20:08
Speaker 3: remember that feeling of dread and thinking, oh no, not again.
20:12
Speaker 3: I feel groggy, but managed to mumble and lift my arm,
20:16
Speaker 3: which was heavy and tried to say I'm awake. I
20:19
Speaker 3: then just closed my eyes and wanted it to be
20:21
Speaker 3: over with, and I remember thinking, I hope this doesn't
20:25
Speaker 3: last long. Suddenly there's blackness and my snap awake. I'm
20:30
Speaker 3: drenched in sweat. There are two points on my forehead
20:33
Speaker 3: that are throbbing in pain. I'm in my bedroom again,
20:36
Speaker 3: and everything as I left it. The TV is on,
20:40
Speaker 3: my phone is in my hand, and I'm thinking, man,
20:44
Speaker 3: that was a weird dream. Suddenly there's a loud noise
20:48
Speaker 3: in the power shuts off, leaving me in the dark.
20:51
Speaker 3: It scared me half to death as well, and I
20:54
Speaker 3: jumped up and tried to wake my husband, who was
20:56
Speaker 3: dead asleep. Finally, after a few seconds, though, the power
21:00
Speaker 3: back on, and my husband thinks that I'm just silly.
21:05
Speaker 3: The thing is is that I understand that it could
21:08
Speaker 3: very much have been just a dream. That's not impossible,
21:11
Speaker 3: I suppose, but I'm not much of a dreamer, and
21:15
Speaker 3: if I do, they aren't that vivid. This one just
21:19
Speaker 3: felt so real. But why and why? Aliens? Of all things?
21:27
Speaker 3: I'm mostly into like ghostly stories, so don't read or
21:30
Speaker 3: look up UFO stuff that much. And I remember the
21:34
Speaker 3: physical feeling of dread that it was happening again, and
21:37
Speaker 3: I could feel my stomach drop and I felt sick
21:40
Speaker 3: when I thought, not this again. But the strange thing
21:43
Speaker 3: is that I don't recall any other dreams or experiences
21:47
Speaker 3: like this. It's just so random. It was Christmas too,
21:52
Speaker 3: so I definitely wasn't thinking about aliens or anything. Anyway.
21:59
Speaker 3: I don't know what to think of any of this.
22:01
Speaker 3: I guess I'm just sharing it to get it off
22:03
Speaker 3: my chest and reaching out, I suppose. So if you
22:09
Speaker 3: have any idea about what any of this could be,
22:12
Speaker 3: then please do let me know
