- 0:03Speaker 1: My house was built in the 70s. Not particularly new,
- 0:07Speaker 1: but not really that old, I guess, too. We moved
- 0:10Speaker 1: here in the early 2000s. I don't really know any
- 0:13Speaker 1: of the history behind it. But we've always joked that
- 0:16Speaker 1: there are ghosts here. Doors slamming, creaking, and things randomly
- 0:21Speaker 1: disappearing has always been blamed on ghosts. But around five
- 0:25Speaker 1: years ago, it started becoming a tad more aggressive, you
- 0:30Speaker 1: could say. The sounds of light footsteps in the hallway,
- 0:34Speaker 1: scratches from the second floor and inside the wall. Mind you,
- 0:38Speaker 1: we have no rodent problems, so it seemed sort of
- 0:42Speaker 1: unexplainable to the entire family. Then, one day around three
- 0:47Speaker 1: to four years ago, I was home alone sitting in
- 0:49Speaker 1: the living room when a loud bang appeared from the
- 0:52Speaker 1: second floor. It was so loud I was worried that
- 0:55Speaker 1: the upstairs cabinet had fallen over on the floor or something.
- 0:59Speaker 1: When the bang hit, my lights flickered too and the
- 1:01Speaker 1: TV turned off and on. I could feel the shake
- 1:05Speaker 1: all the way down the stairs. I went up to
- 1:07Speaker 1: check what happened, obviously, and when I did, everything seemed
- 1:12Speaker 1: the same. This has happened several times now and it's
- 1:16Speaker 1: almost entirely identical. A loud bang, a shake, flickering lights,
- 1:21Speaker 1: but nothing ever seems out of place. What makes this
- 1:26Speaker 1: worse too is that You can't hear it when you're upstairs,
- 1:29Speaker 1: you can only hear it when you're downstairs. I know
- 1:32Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but that's what happens. I've been called
- 1:37Speaker 1: on my phone to stop slamming the door so hard
- 1:39Speaker 1: when I'm laying silently in my bed and stuff like that,
- 1:42Speaker 1: and I haven't heard a thing. In the past year,
- 1:46Speaker 1: I've also started seeing things. I might just have imagined things,
- 1:52Speaker 1: but at one point I could have swore that I
- 1:54Speaker 1: saw a toddler sleeping in my brother's bed. I saw
- 1:58Speaker 1: her pretty clearly too. She was young, maybe three years.
- 2:03Speaker 1: She had long blonde hair and her arm hung over
- 2:06Speaker 1: the edge of the bed. When I approached her, she
- 2:09Speaker 1: just disappeared. This was probably a year ago, but it
- 2:14Speaker 1: still really confuses and spooks me. Then, a few weeks ago,
- 2:19Speaker 1: I encountered her again. I was home alone when someone
- 2:23Speaker 1: knocked on the door. I was a bit confused as
- 2:25Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting anyone. As I approached the hallway, I
- 2:29Speaker 1: heard the door closing, and I heard a young girl saying,' Hello!'
- 2:34Speaker 1: like she had just come home and was announcing her
- 2:36Speaker 1: being there. I felt chills run down my back, but
- 2:40Speaker 1: I still opened the door to look. My brother is five,
- 2:43Speaker 1: and I figured that he might have just come home
- 2:45Speaker 1: early or something, but no one was there. Today, I
- 2:50Speaker 1: closed a door, like properly shut, and then it just
- 2:54Speaker 1: opened a bit again. And when I looked at the
- 2:57Speaker 1: open door, it shut again quickly, closed. And now I
- 3:03Speaker 1: keep hearing banging sounds from downstairs and I just don't
- 3:06Speaker 1: know what to do. I'm like unironically kind of worried. Also,
- 3:12Speaker 1: I don't know if this matters, but the dreams that
- 3:15Speaker 1: I get in this house are always so vivid compared
- 3:17Speaker 1: to when I'm not at home. Sometimes I wake up
- 3:21Speaker 1: with the sheets off my bed and blanket as well
- 3:23Speaker 1: because I sleep so uneasy, I guess. Anyways, I could
- 3:29Speaker 1: really do with some advice. I don't think speaking to
- 3:32Speaker 1: whatever this is works. I tried, and I guess maybe
- 3:36Speaker 1: things stopped being so noisy for a bit, but then
- 3:39Speaker 1: it would just start up again, and that's been a
- 3:43Speaker 1: bit of a theme for this whole thing. So yeah,
- 3:46Speaker 1: if you have any advice, then please do let me know. Me,
- 3:57Speaker 1: my best friend, her girlfriend, and my boyfriend were walking
- 4:01Speaker 1: home from dinner and stopped at a 7-Eleven. My boyfriend
- 4:04Speaker 1: wanted a couple of beers. We waited outside while he
- 4:07Speaker 1: got what he needed. As we were outside, I noticed
- 4:11Speaker 1: a girl with a backpack walking around the parking lot.
- 4:15Speaker 1: She walked up to another girl who was on her phone,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and girl number two said to whoever she was talking to, Yeah,
- 4:21Speaker 1: my homegirl here, one second. and proceeded to tell girl
- 4:25Speaker 1: one to go and sit in a car occupied by
- 4:27Speaker 1: a large white male while she went inside. I noticed
- 4:31Speaker 1: the male and the girl number one kept looking at
- 4:34Speaker 1: us from the car while girl number two stayed on
- 4:36Speaker 1: the phone inside. I specifically noticed that the male said
- 4:40Speaker 1: something and pointed and girl number one laughed while looking
- 4:44Speaker 1: at us. Here's where it gets sketchy too. Girl number
- 4:48Speaker 1: one gets out of the car and comes up to
- 4:50Speaker 1: my friend and asks her if she has a pen
- 4:52Speaker 1: and a paper and She told her that she has
- 4:55Speaker 1: a pen but no paper and we didn't have any either.
- 4:58Speaker 1: And here's how the conversation went after she received the pen.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Girl number one said, where do you live? The trailer
- 5:05Speaker 1: park behind here? No, but nearby. Girl number one said,
- 5:11Speaker 1: oh okay, well my grandmother lives there. Where do you work?
- 5:15Speaker 1: My friend said the name of a work girl and
- 5:18Speaker 1: she said, oh really? I know that place. My sister
- 5:21Speaker 1: used to work there. What's your name again? You look familiar.
- 5:25Speaker 1: My friend tells her her name. She says, Oh, yeah,
- 5:30Speaker 1: I think I know you. I knew you looked familiar.
- 5:33Speaker 1: My friend has never seen her before, mind you. The
- 5:36Speaker 1: girl says, So how far until your home? At this point,
- 5:40Speaker 1: my boyfriend came out of the store. The moment that
- 5:43Speaker 1: he did, the girl instantaneously wrapped up the conversation and
- 5:47Speaker 1: quickly retreated back to the car, saying, Well, thanks for
- 5:50Speaker 1: the pen. Not even returning. nor did she write anything
- 5:54Speaker 1: the entire time. She also kept trying to touch my friend.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I did notice that, specifically at her wrists. The girl
- 6:03Speaker 1: also had a hospital band on and was saying that
- 6:05Speaker 1: she had depression or something. I noticed the man watching
- 6:09Speaker 1: the entire interaction and said something to the girl the
- 6:11Speaker 1: minute that she opened the car door. He seemed sort
- 6:14Speaker 1: of frustrated with her maybe. They watched us until we
- 6:18Speaker 1: walked off, maybe a minute or two later. They proceeded
- 6:21Speaker 1: to sit in the car for at least three minutes.
- 6:24Speaker 1: At least that's how long it took until they were
- 6:26Speaker 1: out of my sight. Probably longer since they made no
- 6:29Speaker 1: effort to pull off. But the whole thing just seemed,
- 6:33Speaker 1: I don't know, really sketchy and weird. Has anyone heard
- 6:38Speaker 1: of anything like this before? I'm especially worried as my
- 6:41Speaker 1: friend doesn't have a car and walks everywhere, so there's
- 6:44Speaker 1: a good chance that she may be back there at
- 6:46Speaker 1: some point. Should we be worried? So I was a
- 6:57Speaker 1: security guard for this local company in my area. I
- 7:00Speaker 1: was assigned to a water park with another guard who
- 7:03Speaker 1: was regularly there keeping watch. He was to train me
- 7:07Speaker 1: and show me around and tell me what codes open
- 7:09Speaker 1: what doors and stuff like that. But I first noticed
- 7:12Speaker 1: how quick he was to enter and leave the property
- 7:15Speaker 1: that he never wanted to spend more than like 10
- 7:17Speaker 1: minutes inside the property before he would be eager to leave.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Our first night was simple. There was nothing exciting or
- 7:25Speaker 1: interesting going on so our night dragged a bit. After
- 7:29Speaker 1: a few hours I asked him if he'd experienced anything
- 7:33Speaker 1: unusual while working here. He told me that he's had
- 7:37Speaker 1: some problems with people trying to enter the property without
- 7:39Speaker 1: permission but that's about it. He also told me that
- 7:43Speaker 1: he hated working there because of his encounters with these people.
- 7:47Speaker 1: He said that they creeped him out because of just
- 7:49Speaker 1: how sneaky they were. He didn't really want to tell
- 7:52Speaker 1: me much because he was afraid that I would leave
- 7:54Speaker 1: the post. That should have been a red flag for me,
- 7:58Speaker 1: but I was too excited to let anything like that skip.
- 8:03Speaker 1: A few more hours later, and our shift is over,
- 8:06Speaker 1: so we check out and go home for the day.
- 8:08Speaker 1: The next night, my boss calls me to explain that
- 8:11Speaker 1: the security guard, my partner, had resigned. I must admit
- 8:16Speaker 1: that I was a little bit upset about that because
- 8:19Speaker 1: now I have to work a two-man post all by
- 8:21Speaker 1: myself with barely any knowledge on the place. Anyway, fast
- 8:27Speaker 1: forward a few weeks, I started to get the hang
- 8:29Speaker 1: of things and created my own routine with no issues
- 8:33Speaker 1: at all. There were no break-ins, no vandalism, nothing. It's
- 8:38Speaker 1: now 2am and I was outside at the front of
- 8:40Speaker 1: the property completing my rounds when I heard a door
- 8:44Speaker 1: slam from inside. I jumped because of how loud it
- 8:47Speaker 1: was and as I started to walk back into the property,
- 8:50Speaker 1: I continued to hear doors opening and closing. I could
- 8:54Speaker 1: feel myself getting nervous because it was my first situation
- 8:57Speaker 1: that I've ever had at this place. As I walk
- 9:00Speaker 1: inside and started to check the doors and complete a
- 9:03Speaker 1: round to make sure that there was no one on
- 9:05Speaker 1: the property, I get to this corridor where there was
- 9:08Speaker 1: a set of stairs that led down to a door
- 9:10Speaker 1: that was wide open. I gingerly walked down the stairs
- 9:14Speaker 1: to close and lock the door because I was too
- 9:16Speaker 1: scared to take a look inside. But as I turned
- 9:20Speaker 1: around to head back up the stairs, I noticed a
- 9:23Speaker 1: man dressed in all black standing at the top of
- 9:25Speaker 1: the stairs. I take a step back and realize that
- 9:29Speaker 1: I'm cornered, and if he was to try anything, I
- 9:34Speaker 1: would have nowhere to run or hide. So I politely
- 9:38Speaker 1: ask him if he needed any help, and he didn't reply.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I then asked him how he got into the property.
- 9:45Speaker 1: He still didn't reply. He slowly turned his head and
- 9:49Speaker 1: snapped his fingers, and then, from the left side of
- 9:51Speaker 1: the staircase, another man slowly crawled to his side like
- 9:54Speaker 1: a dog on all fours. And at that, I turned
- 9:58Speaker 1: around and kicked the door open... and ran inside and
- 10:00Speaker 1: locked myself in a bathroom. I did this as I
- 10:03Speaker 1: called my boss and told him what I'd witnessed. They
- 10:06Speaker 1: sent an armed security guard to my position to complete
- 10:08Speaker 1: a walkthrough to make sure that I was safe. As
- 10:11Speaker 1: I got the call that the area was clear, I
- 10:13Speaker 1: came out and told them everything from start to finish.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I realized that they didn't believe me, so... I clocked
- 10:20Speaker 1: out and went home for the night. The next morning,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I received a call from my boss explaining that they
- 10:26Speaker 1: had checked the security footage from the night before and
- 10:29Speaker 1: what they told me horrified me. Every hour when I
- 10:34Speaker 1: would complete my rounds inside the property, those same two
- 10:38Speaker 1: men would follow me through the facility as if they
- 10:41Speaker 1: were stalking me, like as if it was a game
- 10:44Speaker 1: to them. After that, I asked for a new position
- 10:49Speaker 1: because I was too horrified to work at that water park.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I now know why my trainer didn't want to work
- 10:55Speaker 1: there anymore too, and this actually happened to me. I
- 11:01Speaker 1: have more creepy stories like this from when I was
- 11:04Speaker 1: working security, so if you want to hear them, I'd
- 11:07Speaker 1: be happy to share them, but thanks for listening, and
- 11:11Speaker 1: it's good to finally get this off my chest. When
- 11:18Speaker 1: I was in my early days of my career and
- 11:20Speaker 1: joined an internship in a small town, a few of
- 11:22Speaker 1: us were housed by the company that we worked for
- 11:25Speaker 1: in a modified apartment. They basically had joined two apartments together,
- 11:31Speaker 1: so there were three bedrooms and a bathroom on each side,
- 11:34Speaker 1: with a really, really long corridor in between. Now, towards
- 11:39Speaker 1: the end of the assignment, we had a group presentation,
- 11:42Speaker 1: so the bunch of us living on our side, we
- 11:45Speaker 1: worked on the presentation together. decided to head very early
- 11:48Speaker 1: into the office and practice. As per our plans made
- 11:51Speaker 1: the previous evening, me and this girl called Simna woke
- 11:55Speaker 1: up first around 4.30, so we could use the two
- 11:58Speaker 1: bathrooms each and get ready. I didn't mind using the
- 12:01Speaker 1: bathroom at the other end of the corridor, so I
- 12:04Speaker 1: collected my toiletries and headed that way. Simna was doing
- 12:08Speaker 1: the same on our side, and we didn't really talk
- 12:10Speaker 1: as it was way too early and others were also sleeping.
- 12:14Speaker 1: The two bedrooms on the other side were empty and
- 12:17Speaker 1: One was closed. I assumed that they were sleeping. I
- 12:21Speaker 1: set my stuff on the counter and realized quickly that
- 12:24Speaker 1: I forgot my bath towel so came out of the
- 12:26Speaker 1: bathroom and saw Simna standing in the middle of the
- 12:29Speaker 1: darkened corridor with her back to me. I sort of
- 12:33Speaker 1: halted immediately because something seemed very off with the way
- 12:37Speaker 1: that she was standing. The hair on my arms was
- 12:40Speaker 1: raised up and warning bells went off in my head.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I must have made some sound though because This person
- 12:48Speaker 1: turned their head around to look at me. It looked
- 12:51Speaker 1: exactly like her, but she was smiling broadly at me,
- 12:55Speaker 1: like really smirking. I quickly said, Hey, what's going on?
- 13:02Speaker 1: to her, but at the same time sort of backed
- 13:05Speaker 1: up into the bathroom where there was light and hot
- 13:08Speaker 1: water to use as a weapon, I suppose. I didn't
- 13:12Speaker 1: dare come out, and I started praying. After around 20-25
- 13:18Speaker 1: minutes of time had passed, I heard knocking on the
- 13:21Speaker 1: bathroom door and my roommate, not Simna, voice asking me
- 13:24Speaker 1: if I was done. I didn't say anything to her,
- 13:28Speaker 1: I couldn't understand it myself, but as I walked down
- 13:31Speaker 1: the corridor to my room, I saw Simna getting ready
- 13:34Speaker 1: in her room. I went to her and was like,
- 13:37Speaker 1: what the heck dude, you scared me, and she did
- 13:41Speaker 1: not know what I was talking about. I did not
- 13:44Speaker 1: know this girl very well, but she was not a
- 13:46Speaker 1: prankster from what I could tell. Also, it was too
- 13:50Speaker 1: early in the morning and we were too geared up
- 13:53Speaker 1: about the presentation for her to do something like that
- 13:56Speaker 1: and to pretend like nothing happened. Till the end of
- 13:59Speaker 1: that internship, she maintained that it wasn't her that scared
- 14:03Speaker 1: me that morning. To this day, I cannot explain what
- 14:08Speaker 1: or who I saw that morning. 22 years ago, I
- 14:17Speaker 1: lived in a house on a lake. I rented a
- 14:20Speaker 1: room from a lady that lived in the other room.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I had been living with a good friend, but moved
- 14:25Speaker 1: out and needed a new place. My parents actually found
- 14:28Speaker 1: the listing in the newspaper and set me up with it. So,
- 14:33Speaker 1: aside from a strange living condition of living in a
- 14:36Speaker 1: two-bedroom bungalow with a complete stranger in the middle of nowhere,
- 14:40Speaker 1: it seemed like it was actually going to be pretty nice.
- 14:43Speaker 1: My new housemate... I had a large dog that actually
- 14:46Speaker 1: kind of freaked me out a bit. However, she ended
- 14:48Speaker 1: up being a super sweet dog. My housemate was never
- 14:52Speaker 1: home too. Between work, her friends, and her boyfriend, I
- 14:56Speaker 1: saw her like all of three days out of three
- 14:59Speaker 1: months that I lived at the house. So, in the end,
- 15:02Speaker 1: I practically took care of the dog. The thing about
- 15:06Speaker 1: this dog though is that she would hide under my
- 15:09Speaker 1: housemate's bed until she was hungry or needed to go outside.
- 15:13Speaker 1: And never having had dogs, I didn't really know any better.
- 15:18Speaker 1: The first month wasn't anything to write home about. I
- 15:21Speaker 1: got some awesome photos of the moon over the lake.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Somewhere in this time frame, I started recognizing the facts above.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I also started getting a weird vibe in the house,
- 15:30Speaker 1: I guess. In fact, if I wasn't in my room,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I wanted to be in there pretty much only. I
- 15:37Speaker 1: also only felt safe during the day. I use that
- 15:40Speaker 1: term because the feeling at night was the same as
- 15:43Speaker 1: if you think something bad is about to happen. The
- 15:47Speaker 1: problem was is that you just couldn't quantify it. But
- 15:52Speaker 1: at some point I started hearing knocking noises randomly in
- 15:55Speaker 1: the ceiling near the kitchen. I figured that it was
- 15:58Speaker 1: just birds because there's a lot around. One afternoon though
- 16:02Speaker 1: I decided to check out the attic crawlspace located above
- 16:05Speaker 1: the kitchen cabinets. It was a wooden door with a
- 16:08Speaker 1: single lock or latch on it. and a fixed handle.
- 16:11Speaker 1: I'd eaten lunch and climbed up there to check it out,
- 16:14Speaker 1: opened the door and didn't feel threatened or anything. I
- 16:18Speaker 1: peeked my head in and looked left and right over
- 16:21Speaker 1: the bedrooms. Basic attic, nothing special. I closed the door
- 16:25Speaker 1: and climbed down. But from that moment on, something definitely changed.
- 16:32Speaker 1: The dog came out of the kitchen and just sort
- 16:36Speaker 1: of stared at me, like didn't even move, not an inch.
- 16:40Speaker 1: It honestly made me very uneasy. I tried the tricks
- 16:44Speaker 1: of outside, treat, play, but she just didn't move. So,
- 16:51Speaker 1: in the end, I just sort of went to my
- 16:53Speaker 1: room and shut the door. In the weeks that followed,
- 16:57Speaker 1: the events became more and more unnerving as well. I
- 17:01Speaker 1: began to stop being able to sleep. I turned to
- 17:04Speaker 1: leaving music on overnight. Very low volume, but it was
- 17:08Speaker 1: on nevertheless. As time passed, I got to where I
- 17:11Speaker 1: felt like someone was standing in the corner of my room.
- 17:16Speaker 1: One evening, the alarm or clock radio in the living room,
- 17:19Speaker 1: it also turned on by itself. At first, I didn't
- 17:23Speaker 1: even know it was there, to be honest, because I
- 17:25Speaker 1: never went in there. Nothing in there was mine. Next,
- 17:29Speaker 1: over the last two months, it had never gone off.
- 17:33Speaker 1: But I asked my housemate when I saw her next
- 17:36Speaker 1: about that, and she denied setting it. She was also
- 17:39Speaker 1: visibly confused as to why I would go off like that.
- 17:44Speaker 1: But I began to feel as though I was being
- 17:47Speaker 1: watched in every room. I felt as though the thing
- 17:50Speaker 1: in my room was always there. I began to wake
- 17:54Speaker 1: from sleep for no reason. I began grinding my teeth
- 17:57Speaker 1: at night as well. I moved to sleeping with a
- 18:00Speaker 1: blacklight on, the lowest light level that I could get
- 18:02Speaker 1: in the room. Music became CDs that would repeat indefinitely.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And now I would wake up, look around and see
- 18:11Speaker 1: nothing and then try to go back to sleep. My
- 18:14Speaker 1: housemate and a friend were at the house one evening
- 18:16Speaker 1: too and the friend claimed to be a psychic. And
- 18:19Speaker 1: she looked dead at me and asked me how I
- 18:21Speaker 1: was sleeping. I hadn't seen the housemate in weeks and
- 18:25Speaker 1: hadn't told her about my problems. She then tells me
- 18:28Speaker 1: that there's apparently an old man in my room and
- 18:32Speaker 1: that he doesn't like me. I asked if there was
- 18:36Speaker 1: anything that I could do and she said no. I
- 18:39Speaker 1: began addressing this man though, trying to fix things in
- 18:43Speaker 1: a desperate attempt to get more sleep and asking him
- 18:46Speaker 1: to leave me alone but life got much worse. I
- 18:51Speaker 1: would be on the phone with my now wife and
- 18:54Speaker 1: would fall asleep and she would tell me years later
- 18:57Speaker 1: that there were really strange sounds that scared her. She
- 19:02Speaker 1: said that she would stay on the phone to ensure
- 19:03Speaker 1: that nothing happened to me I began to have regular
- 19:07Speaker 1: nightmares every time that I closed my eyes. My work
- 19:10Speaker 1: started to suffer. I was exhausted. It was around this
- 19:15Speaker 1: time too that I began to see a dark cloud
- 19:18Speaker 1: like mist that appeared to pour out of the cinder
- 19:21Speaker 1: wall with the lights on, mind you. In the corner
- 19:24Speaker 1: of the room, the man had been reported standing. I
- 19:28Speaker 1: would walk over and touch the area, but there was
- 19:32Speaker 1: never anything there. I would go back to bed. and
- 19:36Speaker 1: see it still happening. My wife was getting ready one morning,
- 19:40Speaker 1: and while putting on makeup, she also said that she
- 19:43Speaker 1: told me that the face just wasn't hers. She left
- 19:47Speaker 1: the bathroom, and she never went back in. in that
- 19:51Speaker 1: night we were both asleep she had become accustomed to
- 19:54Speaker 1: my nightmares at this point i had a dream that
- 19:58Speaker 1: she and i were in my car driving down the
- 20:00Speaker 1: road it was nice i look at her and then
- 20:03Speaker 1: back at the road in time to see three children
- 20:05Speaker 1: in the road The next sequence happened so fast I
- 20:09Speaker 1: had no time to react. Each hit the windshield and
- 20:12Speaker 1: sort of a bit zombie-like. I immediately awoke, obviously. I
- 20:17Speaker 1: was sweating, shaking and scared. My wife was instantly awake also.
- 20:22Speaker 1: She asked what happened and I relayed the story above.
- 20:26Speaker 1: And her face lost colour. She looked very concerned. Thinking
- 20:31Speaker 1: it was the content of the dream, I apologised. But
- 20:34Speaker 1: she sat silent. long enough to make me wonder if
- 20:37Speaker 1: something was wrong with me. She eventually broke the silence
- 20:40Speaker 1: and said that just before you woke me, I dreamed
- 20:44Speaker 1: that we had just gotten into your car. We left,
- 20:48Speaker 1: and the next day I found somewhere else to stay.
- 20:51Speaker 1: We moved to another state, and the first night in
- 20:53Speaker 1: the new place, I slept non-stop, perfectly. I woke up
- 20:59Speaker 1: rested and recognized the silence in my head, if that
- 21:03Speaker 1: makes sense. And after getting out, I'm more convinced than
- 21:07Speaker 1: ever that there is something going on with that house
- 21:11Speaker 1: at the lake. So I'll start off by saying that
- 21:22Speaker 1: I've always been open-minded. So has my friend and her partner.
- 21:27Speaker 1: We've all had our little strange or odd encounters over
- 21:30Speaker 1: the years and sometimes came up with a logical explanation
- 21:34Speaker 1: or Left it to the unknown, I guess. But we
- 21:37Speaker 1: have never had something like this happen before. Well, the
- 21:42Speaker 1: car part, anyway. So, this happened a couple of hours ago.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Me and my friend and her partner were downstairs about
- 21:50Speaker 1: to watch a film. Their young son, four years old,
- 21:53Speaker 1: was upstairs fast asleep. The stairs are in the front
- 21:56Speaker 1: room where we were sat, and their four-week-old daughter was
- 22:00Speaker 1: in the Moses basket by the sofa, We had turned
- 22:04Speaker 1: off the lights, shut the curtains, and got comfortable. There
- 22:07Speaker 1: was a small bang upstairs, so my friend's partner went
- 22:10Speaker 1: to check their son, all fine. But as the partner
- 22:14Speaker 1: walked down the stairs, he heard almost like a wind
- 22:17Speaker 1: chime jingle from their bedroom, and said out loud, like, huh,
- 22:21Speaker 1: that's weird, but put it down to a possible draft
- 22:24Speaker 1: somewhere or something. Even five minutes later, we get comfy,
- 22:29Speaker 1: go to watch the film, and me and my friend
- 22:31Speaker 1: notice car lights outside. rather bright so we take a
- 22:35Speaker 1: peek it's their car full beams on for about 10
- 22:41Speaker 1: to 15 seconds and then off again and we all
- 22:45Speaker 1: looked at each other dumbfounded and again a bit longer
- 22:49Speaker 1: this time then the indicators flashed a few times and
- 22:52Speaker 1: stopped and as it stopped their son screamed like not
- 22:57Speaker 1: even a second passed and he started screaming and crying
- 23:01Speaker 1: to the point that he was so wound up that
- 23:03Speaker 1: he was nearly sick. Of course, as soon as he screamed,
- 23:06Speaker 1: the dad ran straight up, as my best friend was breastfeeding.
- 23:10Speaker 1: The dad brought him down, and he was inconsolable, and
- 23:14Speaker 1: being only four, he couldn't exactly say much, just sort
- 23:17Speaker 1: of some broken words. Then the TV went off with
- 23:22Speaker 1: no warning, then a bang upstairs, and then silence. We
- 23:27Speaker 1: spoke for a good hour or so, trying to decipher
- 23:30Speaker 1: what the heck just happened, but the car keys were
- 23:32Speaker 1: in the other room, nowhere near any living animal or human.
- 23:37Speaker 1: When we approached the car, me and my friend's partner,
- 23:39Speaker 1: we checked if it was locked and it was. We
- 23:44Speaker 1: looked in the car manual and had a Google search
- 23:46Speaker 1: and nothing comes up regarding the full beams just staying
- 23:50Speaker 1: on and then intermittent hazard lights going off. There was
- 23:54Speaker 1: no alarm as well, which was really strange. and definitely
- 23:58Speaker 1: nobody around. But since then, their sun won't settle, their
- 24:03Speaker 1: little girl keeps waking randomly and crying, and they've heard
- 24:07Speaker 1: a couple of more bangs. I've never experienced car lights
- 24:11Speaker 1: being set on or off like that before. Usually an
- 24:14Speaker 1: electrical fault would happen when the vehicle is on, or
- 24:17Speaker 1: you would have a warning light, but nothing. It's a
- 24:21Speaker 1: newish car as well, so quite full of tech, and
- 24:25Speaker 1: to be honest, it's been checked out and There doesn't
- 24:28Speaker 1: seem to be anything wrong. I have had a few
- 24:31Speaker 1: experiences myself, but usually with lights in the home, candles, noises, etc.,
- 24:37Speaker 1: but nothing to this level. Also, the first feeling that
- 24:41Speaker 1: I had was sickness and dread. I've not had gut
- 24:45Speaker 1: feelings like this regarding the paranormal for many years now,
- 24:48Speaker 1: but I genuinely felt unwelcome, and I dare say almost watched, too.
