Latest / Mystery Archives Episodes / My Personal PARANORMAL Experiences Part 1/2
Transcript
- 0:00I've waited a long time to tell my personal paranormal stories
- 0:03or experiences, but by doing so now I want to convey to people
- 0:09that these things exist and they really do affect people of all
- 0:13walks of life. Following stories took place
- 0:17between 2002 and 2007. I have several experiences that
- 0:29occurred after these, but I'll share those in a different video
- 0:33and at another time. I consider these to be my
- 0:36formative experiences and these events helped shape my views on
- 0:41the paranormal in the world. I've also asked my family
- 0:46members for their perspectives as well to coincide with what I
- 0:50remember. So with that all being said, I
- 0:54started life out in a city called Derby here in Kansas.
- 0:58I was about nine years old when the first happenings began.
- 1:02My family consisted of my mom and dad, myself, my younger
- 1:07sister and brother moving from Meadowlark Place to another
- 1:12neighborhood. We had moved across town from
- 1:15one house to another. This one was a duplex style
- 1:19house on Willow Street not too far from my grandparents house,
- 1:24about two blocks over or so, which was really nice to be able
- 1:28to ride my bike back and forth and play with my cousin and see
- 1:31them all. And you know that good stuff.
- 1:35Things up until this point had been semi normal.
- 1:38Life ebbs and flows and my parents relationship certainly
- 1:42had its share of ups and downs, but we all looked forward to
- 1:45this new chapter in our lives once we were finally moved in.
- 1:51From the first night we stayed overnight at the house, I began
- 1:54to experience things that I still can't explain.
- 1:58That first night as I laid in my room asleep, all of a sudden
- 2:03something poked or pushed my arm.
- 2:07Now my sister had her own room across the hall from me and my
- 2:10brother was small enough to still be sleeping with my
- 2:13parents the majority of the time.
- 2:16So initially thinking it was one of them I opened my eyes.
- 2:21But when I did this, I saw a little boy, but it wasn't anyone
- 2:26that I recognized. And aside from this, the child
- 2:30looked very strange. He was like a pale glowing blue
- 2:35color and didn't move when I noticed him.
- 2:39He just kept staring at me with these fully white, blank,
- 2:44lifeless eyes. When I finally came to my senses
- 2:49that this wasn't a normal experience, I began to get
- 2:53scared. So terrified out of my mind and
- 2:57not sure of what else to do, I got up and out of my bed and ran
- 3:02past this entity as fast as I could.
- 3:05The noise would wake my parents up, They would then talk to me
- 3:09and follow me back to my bedroom, but upon arriving it
- 3:14would see no one. Thinking that I was just having
- 3:17a nightmare or my imagination was running wild in a new
- 3:21environment, they'd let me sleep on the couch in the living room.
- 3:26I would proceed to sleep there for the next couple weeks until
- 3:29they would ultimately force me back into my bedroom.
- 3:33Following seeing the child about four months or so into living at
- 3:37the house, things took a darker turn and whatever presence that
- 3:42was within the house seemed to be making things worse.
- 3:47The activity had been becoming more noticeable drip by drip we
- 3:53would occasionally hear knocking on the walls what sounded like
- 3:57items breaking with there only to be no one there and no items
- 4:01broken. We had all also began to notice
- 4:05that we felt as if we were being watched at all times.
- 4:09I for one distinctly remember my anxiety becoming extremely bad
- 4:13at this time, making it difficult for me to sleep and
- 4:17when I did manage to go unconscious I would have
- 4:20horrible dreams and in these dreams I was being chased by
- 4:25some a boring creature and usually in the basement I would
- 4:29always be too scared to look back and I would be in fight or
- 4:33flight. I would oftentimes wake up
- 4:36dripping in sweat just as the creature was about to catch me
- 4:40on the stairs. My mom who had a tendency to
- 4:44hoard things and this had always been an issue even at our
- 4:48previous homes, but living here she seemed to have this behavior
- 4:52greatly intensified. It had been bad before, but it
- 4:56began to reach an entirely new level and in a short period of
- 5:00time. What I mean by this is
- 5:03cluttering to the point of almost non movement in our
- 5:06basement, our rooms and our garage and it became a major
- 5:11problem. Boxes, trash and junk of all
- 5:16kinds was what it was mostly. And on top of this she began to
- 5:21impulse buy multiple animals in rapid secession either buy or
- 5:26acquire from someone who was giving them away.
- 5:31The trash, hoarding and animals weren't always being let out
- 5:35when they should have been. Definitely began to strain an
- 5:38already strained and dysfunctional marriage, but it
- 5:43seemed like every aspect of our lives was rapidly being
- 5:46magnified and getting worse all the time with the hoarding, both
- 5:51material and animal, and the daily fighting.
- 5:55The air became even thicker with anxiety.
- 5:58And the thicker the air became, the more activity we seem to
- 6:02experience. The sounds, flickers of things
- 6:06out of the corner of our eyes, the persistent nightmares and
- 6:11the negative environment took its toll on all of us.
- 6:15With my memory not being the greatest, and with trauma also
- 6:19involved, I do my best to tell this as chronologically as I
- 6:23can. One day, shortly after these
- 6:26behaviors had been exacerbated, I remember heading to the
- 6:30basement to get a drink from the fridge that we had down in our
- 6:33laundry room. Funnily enough it was an St.
- 6:36cool and it can if any of you guys remember those and I I
- 6:42missed those actually those were great.
- 6:45Descending the stairs, getting about halfway down, I saw yet
- 6:49another manifestation that shook me to my core.
- 6:53The view as you were headed down the stairs gave a decent view of
- 6:57the basement, like you could see a good chunk of it.
- 7:00And it was here that I witnessed a large wardrobe box being
- 7:04hurled by something that I couldn't see, an invisible force
- 7:10and it flew from one end of the basement to the other.
- 7:14The bigger boxes tended to be on the left hand side of our
- 7:17basement near the extra bedroom that we had down there.
- 7:21And in total it had been thrown about 20 to 25 feet.
- 7:26And mind you, this is was a large wardrobe box, so it was
- 7:29full of clothes and God knows what else.
- 7:32So it would have been quite the feat to to throw even if you
- 7:35were a person, let alone you know something out of my scope
- 7:40of understanding. So unable to make rational sense
- 7:44of what I just witnessed. This had scared me so bad that I
- 7:47ran upstairs and I would refuse to ever go back down there
- 7:51without company ever again. In time, I would find out that I
- 7:56wasn't the only one to have witnessed something strange
- 7:58originating from there. My father and cousin believed
- 8:02that there was something there too, that there was some kind of
- 8:06presence within the house. I don't know all the details of
- 8:10my dad's story, but I do know while he was sleeping in the
- 8:13spare bedroom down there, while him and my mom were particularly
- 8:17on the rocks, that he began to hear voices.
- 8:21Like distant whispers that grew louder night after night.
- 8:25These voices seem to originate from nowhere, but yet they were
- 8:29everywhere. They Wood Forest him to question
- 8:32his own sanity, and it's important to note here that my
- 8:36dad isn't schizophrenic or anything of the sort, and he
- 8:40hasn't experienced anything even similar before this or after
- 8:44this. Not too long after this
- 8:47occurred, my dad had another experience and I'll let him
- 8:51explain it in his own words. Also as a side note here, you
- 8:56know my my dad's not a professional storyteller,
- 8:59neither is my cousin. So definitely take it easy on
- 9:02them because they're just recounting their experiences.
- 9:06Thanks. We moved into a new home in 2002
- 9:15and I was on the other side of town.
- 9:18So you kids have to change school and all that.
- 9:19And this is like basically a last is effort for your mother
- 9:23and I to try to save our marriage.
- 9:24And so it was just some, you know, you know, the whole story
- 9:26on that part. And we moved in inside the
- 9:30house. I had started to experience a, a
- 9:34dark presence inside the home, something I didn't understand
- 9:37what was going on. It made me angry.
- 9:41I was starting to fill up with this rage.
- 9:43I was just mad. And the, the situ of your mother
- 9:45and I was deteriorating to the point where, you know, I just
- 9:47didn't want to be around her. I think that it caused an
- 9:50adversarial problem within the home.
- 9:52I remember one night, early morning, I'm trying to remember
- 9:58the details get a bit fuzzy now about when I was in the
- 10:02bathroom. That one was right off the
- 10:03hallway, right across down from your room.
- 10:05There was a coat closet right directly across cross.
- 10:08You remember Kidney's room was at the end and I was looking in
- 10:12the mirror, right? Rinsed off my face.
- 10:14Your mother and I had quite the argument earlier and I was so
- 10:20full of anger. I went to wash my face and I see
- 10:24something that flashes in my face I can still remember to
- 10:26this day is like it lit up, like the mirror lit up from behind,
- 10:29which is impossible because you know the lights were off in the
- 10:32bathrooms that were in night light and I saw a demonic face
- 10:36and it roared at me and just scared the living bejesus out of
- 10:39me. It is seen things that slowly
- 10:42deteriorate within the home. I know that I've slept
- 10:47downstairs and your mother was sleeping upstairs in your room.
- 10:50And I was just mad all the time. Remember being really nice to
- 10:54you kids. Of course, I never took it out
- 10:55on you necessarily. I just, you know, wasn't happy.
- 11:01And I felt like a dark, malevolent presence was there in
- 11:03the home. And as time went on, you know,
- 11:05your mother moved out and Roy moved in and even him and I were
- 11:10experiencing some issues with the darkness.
- 11:12It just, it was just something about the house just felt evil.
- 11:17Something was not right about it.
- 11:18It just, you know, that weird smell that we'd smelled would
- 11:20disappear for no reason. That smelled like rotten eggs.
- 11:22He had to be gone. The odd things in the garage,
- 11:25you know, the random noises after we cleaned that garage
- 11:28out, the odd things that would happen all the time.
- 11:31My cousin as well recalled a strange happening that I had
- 11:34forgot about to be honest and also had his own experience in
- 11:38the basement, which I'll let him tell in his own words as well.
- 11:45My first impressions of the house were some of what one
- 11:49would usually expect. It was a new house so it was
- 11:53unfamiliar, but at the same time that made it cool.
- 11:59Over the next few years, me and my cousin would spend plenty of
- 12:03days and nights having adventures within and around the
- 12:07confines of that suburban home. But over time, something strange
- 12:13began to emerge behind the wooden panels and carpet,
- 12:16something that I can only describe as evil.
- 12:21I wasn't exactly the bravest sort.
- 12:24My imagination could run wild and would often find a better
- 12:28way of scaring me than anything else ever could.
- 12:31That being said, things within that house happened which went
- 12:35well beyond the machinations of my fearful mind.
- 12:39The first incident occurred during the daytime.
- 12:42We had been playing a game in the living room when we heard
- 12:46Cody's sister scream from the other room.
- 12:49When we ran in to inspect, we found that a snow globe of hers
- 12:54had broken open without an explanation.
- 12:56I remember this clearly because I had always wondered what kind
- 13:00of liquid was inside a snow globe.
- 13:04I smelled a chemical smell in the air that made me think of
- 13:07nail Polish. We set about cleaning up the
- 13:10glass but never really gave it much thought at the time.
- 13:14It is only later that we realized that we never really
- 13:18asked ourselves how exactly did the snow globe break?
- 13:24I would recall sleeping on the living room floor, and in the
- 13:27early hours of the morning I could hear running water and I
- 13:31would catch a glimpse of the shadowy figure of a man
- 13:35wandering in the kitchen near the entrance to the basement.
- 13:39Sometimes I would barely remember these moments, like
- 13:42they were just dreams. Other times I would be
- 13:45completely awake and conscious, but would be just too scared to
- 13:49move. At times I would try to make
- 13:51myself believe that it was just my uncle, and it would make it
- 13:56all the more chilling. But Cody's dad would finally
- 13:59come in and turn the lights on, and I'd know for certain that
- 14:03the figure was not, in fact, him at all.
- 14:05The worst and most sinister of the activity, however, was
- 14:10definitely within the basement of the house.
- 14:13Whether during day or night, I felt like even the corners of
- 14:18the rooms hid watchful eyes. I couldn't stand the dark open
- 14:23doorways leading to my uncle's bedroom and the bathroom.
- 14:28The thought of something lurking in the shadows was impossible to
- 14:31banish from my mind. At times this was so bad that
- 14:36I'd have to cancel sleepovers and call my mom to Take Me Home.
- 14:40The worst of this came during a nightmare I had when I was
- 14:45sleeping in the basement. I found myself alone, the only
- 14:49light coming from ATV in the far corner flickering with static
- 14:54and white noise. I felt called to walk into my
- 14:58uncle's bedroom and rounded the corner to face the sliding doors
- 15:02to his closet. The closet itself was right
- 15:06beneath the stairs. Trembling, I reached to open the
- 15:11mirrored door panel, only for it to slam open of its own will.
- 15:17In the shadows of the room, I saw a hole in the wall which had
- 15:21mysteriously appeared. A hole that, I might add, did
- 15:26not exist. A terrible being emerged from
- 15:30that hole, one which haunts me to this day.
- 15:34It's skin was charred black like carbon.
- 15:38It was large and bulky like a man, but upon its head were two
- 15:44large and vicious horns which were dark as midnight.
- 15:49It's teeth were sharp as knives and yellow with rot.
- 15:53But it's eyes, it's eyes were amber like a predator.
- 15:59It snarled at me and I awoke again in a cold sweat.
- 16:04After that, I don't believe I ever chose to sleep in that
- 16:07basement again. Things would only get worse from
- 16:11here, day after day and night after night.
- 16:15As I had previously mentioned, my mom had purchased a lot of
- 16:18animals. This included cats and dogs.
- 16:23This further added to the filth of the house and the negative
- 16:26atmosphere due to my parents often being depressed and not
- 16:31taking the animals outside as they should have.
- 16:34Long story short, it definitely wasn't an environment that I
- 16:39would ever want my kids to grow up in and that that is something
- 16:43for sure on top of the paranormal that's deeply
- 16:45affected me to this day. So with having dogs and cats as
- 16:49pets, soon out of nowhere we began to have an insane amount
- 16:54of animal deaths occur. We ended up losing a total of 7
- 16:59animals all together within less than two months.
- 17:04What we're perfectly normal, relatively healthy animals would
- 17:08just pass. And I didn't want to put a
- 17:10warning here because I'm going to mention a few details about
- 17:13the animal deaths and I don't want to upset anyone who's
- 17:17sensitive to these kinds of things.
- 17:19So I'll mark the timestamps down in the OR down in the
- 17:23description of the video if you prefer to Fast forward pass
- 17:26this. Again, I don't remember all of
- 17:29the details, but when the animals would pass I I would
- 17:32usually assist my dad in burying them.
- 17:36We tended to bury them out back behind my grandparents house a
- 17:40couple blocks over because they lived next to like a woodland
- 17:44area, like a Creek, and we had an area where we tended to bury
- 17:49our family animals back there. And with that being said, these
- 17:53are some of the deaths that really bothered me.
- 17:57We had one, a younger puppy who was a pit bull who had died in
- 18:01our garage. She'd had a seizure and she had
- 18:05no prior history of issues as far as we knew.
- 18:08We also checked if she could have gotten into something or
- 18:11ate something that she shouldn't have but we couldn't find
- 18:15anything. My cat Kara, who actually would
- 18:18go on to live for another 16 years or so after these events.
- 18:23She was an amazing cat, but during this time she was
- 18:26pregnant and had to have ended up with some kind of an
- 18:29infection and she prematurely lost her kittens.
- 18:34One night after sleeping in the living room, I actually woke up
- 18:38by rolling over and having my face touch one of them and it's
- 18:43tiny body was ice cold. And that alone was super
- 18:48traumatic. And I don't want to necessarily
- 18:52shade my mom but my dad was at work when this happened and I
- 18:59remember her telling me to get rid of them basically.
- 19:02So I had to clean them up. And Long story short, you know,
- 19:07I didn't really know what to do. Obviously, I was a kid, you
- 19:10know, I didn't have the capabilities really to be able
- 19:13to take them over to my grandparents house.
- 19:17So I ended up just putting them in the trash can and I always
- 19:20regretted doing that. There were multiple others, but
- 19:23those in particular always got to me.
- 19:26My parents would end up getting divorced and while this was
- 19:29starting to get underway, I was living with my siblings and my
- 19:32dad still at the Willow house. As I previously said, we lived
- 19:37in a duplex and our next door neighbors were a family, a
- 19:41husband, wife, and their three kids.
- 19:44During this turbulent time, the dad of the family next door
- 19:47seemed to have lost his mind. One afternoon, the dad that was
- 19:53our neighbor was sitting with my dad and they were having a few
- 19:55drinks on our shared porch with me sitting with them.
- 20:00I distinctly remember him telling my dad that he needed to
- 20:02talk to him about something serious, so my dad asked me to
- 20:06go inside, to which I obliged so he could talk to him.
- 20:11And what he talked to him about was absolutely insane.
- 20:14He had become extremely paranoid.
- 20:18He believed that his wife was cheating on him.
- 20:21And he asked my dad if he would assist him in helping to kill
- 20:25her and dispose of her body for a sum of money.
- 20:29Even described where he would take her, how it would work.
- 20:33But I don't want to share all those gritty details since you
- 20:36know, YouTube. But it it was shocking.
- 20:41My dad not only was shocked, but he didn't want to add to his
- 20:44paranoia further or risk angering him since he was
- 20:48obviously unhinged. So he calmly refused his offer
- 20:52and I'll let my dad explain some details here.
- 20:56We got to know Mike next door a little bit and he seemed to be
- 20:59an OK guy. And then him and his wife had a
- 21:02brief separation for about a month or three weeks.
- 21:07And I saw her at Target. Her name was Lori.
- 21:10That was her name. She was at Target and she was
- 21:12talking and said hi and all that.
- 21:13And she goes, I said, well, are you going to come up?
- 21:16You might get back together. She's I don't know.
- 21:17I just have no idea. So then later on that night, I
- 21:21was off on a used to be off on Thursdays and Fridays and it was
- 21:23off. It was a Thursday night and I
- 21:26was hanging out with Mike and he's drinking.
- 21:27And then he told me how he was going to kill his wife and he
- 21:31was going to, he gave it in grave detail of how he's going
- 21:35to kill her. And he looked as like he was
- 21:37literally seriously possessed. He looked, it was, it was like
- 21:40full of black rage. He was so angry.
- 21:42He's like, I'm going to kill her.
- 21:43I'm going to do it in front of her mother and you know, she's
- 21:46going to watch. And then blah, blah, blah.
- 21:48And I was like, my, that's really dark.
- 21:49Why would you want to do something like that?
- 21:51You know, I wanted to fill out a police report, but I didn't
- 21:55think maybe that, you know, people would actually take my
- 21:57word on it. I honestly don't know the whole
- 22:00thing there. She did come back or he did come
- 22:02back for briefed. I did talk to her one day and by
- 22:05then Mike is just just angry all the time.
- 22:08Except he seemed to be nice to her for a few minutes and I'm
- 22:10outside talking to her and she thought, I just don't know.
- 22:14I'm exhausted. I want, you know, this is a
- 22:15honeymoon period before all the abuse and the and the physical
- 22:20abuse starts again. And I was like, he physically
- 22:21abuses you. And she's like, yeah, I said,
- 22:23why are you, why did you come back?
- 22:25She said she did it for the boys.
- 22:27He pulled up in his car when inside he come out starts
- 22:29screaming at her saying, you know, how dare you sit out here
- 22:31with this guy, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 22:32And by then he knew we were, we were, you know, running out were
- 22:35a couple. And he started screaming at her
- 22:38and telling, you know, how dare you talk to other man, you know,
- 22:39And then I, he dragged her inside to slam the door.
- 22:42And then she did permanently move out right before we moved.
- 22:46And he would hide in his garage. You could hear him in there and
- 22:50banging around and it was just, it was just a real weird
- 22:53situation. We'd see him for a few seconds,
- 22:55he'd come inside, slam his door real hard and you could hear him
- 22:58yelling inside the house and there's nobody in there.
- 23:00It was just like is crazy. I don't know what happened.
- 23:04We moved. When we moved out, things got
- 23:07considerably, much better. It took a little bit for the
- 23:09darkness to completely get out of me, but it was a lot of
- 23:12things. You kids saw a lot of things,
- 23:14scary things, bad dreams. It was a lot.
- 23:17After this happened, roughly, I'd say a month or so after he
- 23:21actually got arrested for attempting to hire a hitman to
- 23:23kill his wife. So whether all of that was
- 23:27related to the dark presence in the house or not, I can't quite
- 23:30say, but it very much could have been.
- 23:33I mean prior to that conversation he seemed totally
- 23:36normal and hadn't acted that way before so it's hard telling.
- 23:42The paranormal activity by this time on on our side had become
- 23:45so violent that we all began to sleep together in the living
- 23:49room. Unknown to me at the time, I
- 23:51wasn't the only one that would have this happen, but it seemed
- 23:56like for whatever reason I would always be woke up around 3:00 AM
- 24:00in an absolute state of terror. Things would often be knocking
- 24:04or moving around us. And I remember the time because
- 24:08we had a cable box that displayed the time in our living
- 24:11room next to our TV. And to kind of help counteract
- 24:14the scariness, I guess of the environment of the situation.
- 24:19We would usually play like the Boomerang Network, the for
- 24:24cartoons. I think we had like dish TV at
- 24:27the time or something, but it was usually on at that time.
- 24:32After waking up, I would be so scared that I'd be afraid to
- 24:35breathe because it felt like hell itself was descending upon
- 24:39me. I would lay my head to the floor
- 24:43and could hear additional bangs and oftentimes what sounded like
- 24:46glass breaking in the basement. Below are things being thrown or
- 24:51destroyed or mangled. If I managed to gather myself, I
- 24:56would try to wake up anybody that I could, either my dad or
- 25:00my brother or my sister, but I could never manage to do so.
- 25:05It was if they were in some kind of a coma state.
- 25:09I also knew I wasn't dreaming because I would often times stay
- 25:12awake until the sun came up, way too scared to try and rest.
- 25:17And most of the time the majority of the banging and the
- 25:20overall noise would cease at dawn.
- 25:23And after talking to my family, I would later find out that this
- 25:27for sure happened to my brother, my sister, and my dad at random
- 25:30times during our our lives there during this particular era.
- 25:36Given all the things we had experienced and been through, it
- 25:41seemed as if whatever presence that dwelled within the house
- 25:45fed off of death and sorrow when the divorce was finalized as
- 25:51kids ended up moving out of the house to live with our mom.
- 25:54Thus closing a very disturbing chapter in our lives.
- 25:58But little did I know, it would just be the beginning of
- 26:02another. Whatever evil that originated
- 26:06from this house seemed to follow or affect us even after we left.
- 26:12What follows is a series of incredibly terrifying and
- 26:15disturbing events as well, and I'll be sharing those in the
- 26:19next video. I did have a couple of questions
- 26:22having dug up the past in regards to what me and my family
- 26:25have experienced and this has led me to seek answers.
- 26:30I've tried going through the past of the area, having lived
- 26:33there near there the majority of my life and I couldn't really
- 26:37find anything that could have directly caused the haunting as
- 26:41far as tragic events or what have you historic events.
- 26:46The area does contain old Indian burial grounds, but it's nearly
- 26:50impossible to figure out where exactly those would be.
- 26:55The home, or rather the duplex if I were to guess from the
- 26:59dated wood paneling and the carpet at the time, was probably
- 27:02built in the 1960s or 70s. It was a rental, so it's also
- 27:08impossible to find out who the past tenants were or the
- 27:11previous owners. I don't know exactly who owns
- 27:15the property now and I think it's transferred hands or
- 27:18companies multiple times. I am just curious who has lived
- 27:22there in the past and what they maybe could have been into.
- 27:26Whether it was some kind of occultism or luciferianism if it
- 27:31could have contributed to what was there.
- 27:34Now let's say that no one was involved in anything dark or
- 27:37magic related that could have conjured something up.
- 27:40These entities, in my opinion, lurk around us and are attracted
- 27:45to negativity. Like moths to a flame, they seem
- 27:49to feed off of our emotions like spiritual ticks or vampires.
- 27:56I also have heard and can somewhat confirm given my life
- 28:00that hoarding and overall not taking care of your environment
- 28:04or self by extension your family can potentially be a breeding
- 28:08ground for these things as well. This is just speculation on my
- 28:13part to try and make sense of what we endured over the couple
- 28:16years that we lived there. At the house.
- 28:19I do often times end up driving past it, especially headed back
- 28:23home from the gym at night because I live in a town that's
- 28:26relatively close to to where this all took place and it still
- 28:31has a very eerie vibe to me. But there are people who
- 28:35currently live there, and over the years there's been a
- 28:38revolving door of people who have lived there.
- 28:41And I'm just curious if the past or current residents have
- 28:44experienced anything paranormal like we did, or if we were
- 28:49haunted instead of the house, or by having lived in the house and
- 28:53have had been followed as a result and maybe the house
- 28:57wasn't haunted anymore. Lots of questions that perhaps
- 29:01I'll never have answers to. But these things did happen.
- 29:05They did fundamentally change me and they helped shape my
- 29:08interest in the paranormal and the spiritual world as a whole.
- 29:13I'll be diving more so into why I started Mystery Archives on
- 29:18Part 2, and in Part 2 I'll be telling what took place after we
- 29:23left the Willow House. I have a few experiences post
- 29:27what I'll talk about in Part 2, so maybe they'll be a part
- 29:31three, I'm honestly not sure yet.
- 29:34I did also speak with my mom and my sister and they didn't want
- 29:37to be included in this video for their own reasons and I totally
- 29:41respect that. My little brother has some
- 29:44experiences but those will be relayed in Part 2 at the next
- 29:48home that we ended up at because although he may have had some
- 29:52experiences, he doesn't recall because he was like 8 between
- 29:56ages two and four when all this took place at the Willow House.
- 30:02I know I tease the stories a lot and overall I hope you guys
- 30:05enjoyed hearing about what I've experienced.
- 30:09If you have any questions, I'd love to read and answer them in
- 30:11the comments. Below are definitely a lot of
- 30:14details that I don't remember whether I've blocked them out or
- 30:18it's just too fuzzy with time, and for that I apologize, but I
- 30:22will do my best to answer your questions and respond to your
- 30:25comments. Another interesting fact about
- 30:28this story of mine in particular this era as I like to call them,
- 30:33I kind of categorize them in that way.
- 30:36I guess in my own mind is that it was going to be on the first
- 30:39season of a popular paranormal Netflix series, but they pulled
- 30:44my opportunity last minute because I apparently wasn't
- 30:47diverse enough, whatever that means.
- 30:51Then they called me for season 2 and then just stopped responding
- 30:55to me after I said I wanted to mention Mystery Archives and
- 30:59apparently they weren't cool with that.
- 31:00But it is what it is. It's a good show, but it just,
- 31:04I've come to this conviction quite some time ago having dealt
- 31:08with a lot of really good and a lot of really bad people just
- 31:11kind of in the paranormal sphere.
- 31:13And you can't always trust people, unfortunately.
- 31:18Sometimes they're just in it for themselves or the money or what
- 31:23have you, especially these days. So that unfortunately was one of
- 31:28those experiences that kind of negatively reinforced how I
- 31:31felt. But with that being said, please
- 31:34leave the video a like if you liked it, subscribe with
- 31:37notifications if you haven't already.
- 31:40And please share this video around to help us reach as many
- 31:42people as we possibly can. Maybe we can not only help reach
- 31:46someone who's had a similar experience, who maybe wants to
- 31:49also share their story, but it also helps keep me going since
- 31:54for whatever reason, views have been down, they've been at like
- 31:57an all time low really. But regardless of that, you
- 32:00know, regardless of how well the video does, it's been very
- 32:03cathartic for me to talk about these things and to tell my
- 32:07stories to such an incredible group of people That is the
- 32:10Mystery Archives community. Also, if I think for my own sake
- 32:14to be able to kind of, I guess, more or less come to terms with
- 32:19digging up the past and kind of trying to categorize everything
- 32:24chronologically and remember everything that took place.
- 32:27It's kind of why I'm breaking it up into parts and to try to do
- 32:31my own stories justice. So I hope you guys understand.
- 32:36Anyways, I love you guys. Thank you for not only showing
- 32:39interest in my experiences, but supporting me and all of the
- 32:43cases that I've covered thus far.
- 32:46I also have some big plans and announcements to make, but I'll
- 32:49go ahead and save those for Part 2 as well, which I should be
- 32:52able to get out in the next week or so.
- 32:55As always, this has been Cody here at Mystery Archives.
- 32:58Remember to please stay safe out there and take care.
- 33:02I'll see you next time.
