1:10
Speaker 1: Okay. So for listener tales, we are starting off here
1:13
Speaker 1: with Cheyenne or Shy. I'm not going to be sharing
1:17
Speaker 1: any last names from anyone, just to keep personal information quiet.
1:21
Speaker 2: That's good.
1:22
Speaker 1: But Shy has sent us this. She says, this is
1:25
Speaker 1: the time I dated a murderer.
1:28
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, starting out strong there, right.
1:34
Speaker 1: So I'm going to read verbatim what Cheyenne wrote. So
1:37
Speaker 1: imagine me as cheyennecause she wrote this in the first person. Yes,
1:40
Speaker 1: I was fifteen years old, a sophomore at high school
1:44
Speaker 1: in South Florida, and a little confused about where my
1:47
Speaker 1: life was heading. As most of us were in high school,
1:50
Speaker 1: I was depressed and I experimented with drugs often. Picture
1:54
Speaker 1: up a tet, one hundred pound, light skinned girl who
1:56
Speaker 1: only wore black and had dyed colorful hair, that listens
2:00
Speaker 1: into heavy metal rock music and carried around a set
2:03
Speaker 1: of drumsticks. I met a guy named David, and he
2:06
Speaker 1: was a little older than me. I think at the
2:09
Speaker 1: time he was eighteen nineteen. We met at the civic
2:12
Speaker 1: Center that was ten minutes walking distance from my house.
2:17
Speaker 1: He was friends with my ex for girlfriend, who was
2:20
Speaker 1: still friendly with me, and his brother was my friend
2:23
Speaker 1: as well. We gravitated towards each other like moths to
2:27
Speaker 1: a flame. We had this deeply misunderstood feeling about ourselves
2:32
Speaker 1: and that was one of the things that really brought
2:34
Speaker 1: us together. We spent every day together for months. He
2:37
Speaker 1: would wait for me by my house as I walked
2:40
Speaker 1: home from school, or he would wait at the bus
2:42
Speaker 1: stop for me when I decided to take the bus.
2:45
Speaker 1: We would smoke weed and do a couple of other
2:48
Speaker 1: things together. Once I brought him home, my mom said
2:52
Speaker 1: she didn't like him, but wouldn't intervene in my relationship.
2:56
Speaker 1: We broke up shortly after him meeting my mom and
2:59
Speaker 1: family because he was going to the Army and I
3:02
Speaker 1: was going through some mental health issues that made it
3:04
Speaker 1: difficult to focus on someone else in the relationship. One day,
3:09
Speaker 1: I stopped seeing him around the neighborhood. I questioned it,
3:12
Speaker 1: but didn't think anything of it until I saw him
3:16
Speaker 1: on the news one night. David Smith not his real
3:20
Speaker 1: last name, arrested for murder. I was stunned and shocked. Wow,
3:27
Speaker 1: my mouth dropped open, and I swear you could hear
3:30
Speaker 1: it hit the floor. I was completely confused. I instantly
3:34
Speaker 1: took my phone out and googled it. He and a
3:37
Speaker 1: roommate were arrested for murdering their landlord.
3:40
Speaker 2: Wow.
3:41
Speaker 1: The landlord was bound, gagged, beaten, and rolled up in
3:46
Speaker 1: a rug and tossed in the canal in the back
3:49
Speaker 1: of the house with a box of his belongings. They
3:53
Speaker 1: murdered the elderly landlord. Oh my gosh, I think he
3:57
Speaker 1: was in his seventies because they didn't want to pay rent.
4:01
Speaker 1: I was disgusted and appalled, but I could now say
4:05
Speaker 1: I dated a murderer.
4:09
Speaker 2: Holy shit.
4:11
Speaker 1: Could you imagine seeing your ex on the news only
4:14
Speaker 1: to find out that they killed someone while you're dating them?
4:19
Speaker 2: Oh? Were they together? But yeah, at the time of the.
4:24
Speaker 3: Murder, well, I believe so, or maybe it was afterwards,
4:27
Speaker 3: though I don't know how well.
4:29
Speaker 1: I mean she did say sometime later, so actually it
4:31
Speaker 1: could have been that they committed it afterwards.
4:34
Speaker 3: Right, But still that he had it in him, yes,
4:37
Speaker 3: to commit murder and you were dating him? Yes, Yes,
4:42
Speaker 3: that is very unnerving. Yeah, I think I would have
4:47
Speaker 3: trouble sleeping and wondering.
4:51
Speaker 1: I would be thanking my lucky stars as it ended
4:54
Speaker 1: when it did.
4:55
Speaker 3: Actually that too, because yeah, if you were still dating,
4:58
Speaker 3: could you imagine eh hitting?
5:00
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's that's a lot.
5:03
Speaker 1: Do you think that's going to be something that we
5:04
Speaker 1: can beat? Well, I'm not going to compare them to
5:06
Speaker 1: each other, but I mean that that that's setting the
5:08
Speaker 1: bar high as all that is very.
5:09
Speaker 2: Much so, because yeah, that doesn't it gets I would
5:14
Speaker 2: struggle with that one.
5:15
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
5:16
Speaker 2: But also like you're being on the positive side, like shit, yeah.
5:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, she got out.
5:21
Speaker 2: I got out of that.
5:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, no longer associating with this motherfucker. I mean it's
5:27
Speaker 1: terrible that he Really you're going to fucking murder your
5:30
Speaker 1: landlord because you don't want to pay rent?
5:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, really, there's no way that you're you're going to
5:34
Speaker 3: get away with that, Like.
5:35
Speaker 1: What the fuck? Yeah, And of all the reasons to
5:37
Speaker 1: kill someone, I think killing just for the sake of
5:40
Speaker 1: killing is a better reason than I don't want to
5:42
Speaker 1: pay rent.
5:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not that.
5:45
Speaker 3: Either a good reason though if they were on drugs
5:49
Speaker 3: or something at the time when they were doing it,
5:51
Speaker 3: or oh, potentially right or under some influence of something. Still,
5:55
Speaker 3: I mean, that's no reason whatever, But no.
5:58
Speaker 1: Reason is a good reason. No, Holy, okay, all right
6:03
Speaker 1: on to the next one. So well, I mean I
6:06
Speaker 1: should say, first and foremost, thank you Shy for sending
6:08
Speaker 1: that in. That's a crazy story.
6:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we appreciate you sharing that with us. Wow.
6:14
Speaker 1: And next up we have Wendy. So Wendy has this
6:18
Speaker 1: to say.
6:19
Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear what's Wendy got to say?
6:21
Speaker 1: Well, this is what Wendy is. Now.
6:22
Speaker 2: I'm like, do I want to know?
6:24
Speaker 1: She says this and again, reading verbatim. We lived in
6:28
Speaker 1: an older apartment above a bar closed for years on
6:32
Speaker 1: the south side of Milwaukee. We always heard weird noises
6:36
Speaker 1: at all hours, and my fiance was actually touched in
6:40
Speaker 1: the attic. We went to bed one night and fell
6:44
Speaker 1: asleep fairly quickly. I woke up in the middle of
6:47
Speaker 1: the night because I heard something in the living room.
6:50
Speaker 1: Both of us have insomnia, so it's not unusual for
6:53
Speaker 1: one of us to wake up and go to the
6:54
Speaker 1: other room to read or play video games or whatever.
6:59
Speaker 1: I looked down to the bedroom door and saw a
7:00
Speaker 1: dark figure outside the bedroom door and heard shuffling noises.
7:05
Speaker 2: Gosh.
7:06
Speaker 1: I of course thought it was my fiance, so I
7:08
Speaker 1: yelled at him to be quiet and come back to bed.
7:11
Speaker 1: No response. I repeated it and got no response again,
7:17
Speaker 1: so I simply said, we'll just be quiet please. I
7:20
Speaker 1: rolled over to go back to sleep and rolled into
7:24
Speaker 1: my fiance, who had never left the bed. I got
7:27
Speaker 1: instant chills and covered my head with the blanket and
7:30
Speaker 1: shut my eyes while trying to get as close to
7:33
Speaker 1: him as possible. I eventually fell back to sleep. Creep
7:37
Speaker 1: me out big time and is something I will never forget.
7:43
Speaker 2: Okay.
7:43
Speaker 3: The fact that you just like we're able to go
7:46
Speaker 3: back to sleep is mind blowing, right.
7:50
Speaker 2: I just think if that was.
7:51
Speaker 3: Me, I'd be like, Ben, wake the fuck up, like
7:54
Speaker 3: we're out. That's terrifying. I'd be terrified.
7:59
Speaker 1: I'm what, Okay, I'm curious, Wendy, shoot us another message.
8:02
Speaker 1: Do you think it possibly could have been like a
8:06
Speaker 1: nightmare of sorts? Do you know you were awake? Because
8:09
Speaker 1: I know insomnia can sometimes like mess with an individual's mind,
8:12
Speaker 1: like sleep paralysis and stuff. So is it possible that
8:16
Speaker 1: it was a dream? Yeah, I mean I doubt it.
8:19
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure she's she's certain, but I'm just curious.
8:22
Speaker 3: We're assuming this is a ghost right of sorts, and
8:25
Speaker 3: not like a burglar.
8:26
Speaker 1: I'm well, I'm assuming she didn't say that she was.
8:28
Speaker 3: Robbed, yeah, or just someone breaking in though, like's, oh
8:32
Speaker 3: my gosh, I don't know either way, that's too much. Yeah,
8:35
Speaker 3: i'd be terrified. And the fact that you went back
8:37
Speaker 3: to sleep like, well.
8:38
Speaker 1: Done, no shit, But I do have to give her credit.
8:41
Speaker 1: I mean, putting the covers over your head, that does
8:44
Speaker 1: solve a lot of problems.
8:45
Speaker 2: That protects you from anything, right.
8:47
Speaker 1: Nothing's getting through that barrier.
8:50
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
8:51
Speaker 1: So yeah, dark figure in the hallway. I'm surprised that
8:55
Speaker 1: your fiance didn't wake up.
8:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, honestly, would you though you're pretty
9:00
Speaker 3: heavy sleeper at times? Touche to sche like there's been
9:05
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I have literally like we live in African
9:07
Speaker 3: tiny house and I remember Kiwi barfing up top and
9:12
Speaker 3: are loft and me like coming downstairs. I even actually
9:15
Speaker 3: fucking turned the light on and I'm like trying to
9:18
Speaker 3: clean this up, and you were just like either you're
9:20
Speaker 3: pretending because you didn't want to help, or you were sleeping.
9:24
Speaker 1: No, I have no recollection of such event. So I
9:27
Speaker 1: was out.
9:28
Speaker 2: Because it was the middle of the night, and I
9:29
Speaker 2: accidentally turned the loft light on. Huh, and that didn't
9:33
Speaker 2: even wake you. I was a little surprised. Huh.
9:36
Speaker 1: Interesting with my face covered by the blankets, because again,
9:39
Speaker 1: that barrier protects you from everything.
9:41
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't recall all right.
9:44
Speaker 1: On to the next one here, So we got Laurie
9:46
Speaker 1: who sent this one in. This story takes place back
9:50
Speaker 1: in nineteen six in the nineteen sixties, Okay, when I
9:53
Speaker 1: was a little girl. I'm the youngest of three girls
9:56
Speaker 1: when this happened. I was three years old, my next sister,
9:59
Speaker 1: Christy was and my oldest sister, Roxanne, was eight. It
10:03
Speaker 1: was Halloween and we were all dressed and ready to
10:05
Speaker 1: go out trick or treating. The three of us had
10:08
Speaker 1: never been allowed to go out on our own, so
10:11
Speaker 1: Roxanne was doing some major pleading with our folks, and
10:15
Speaker 1: she was old enough to take us and be responsible
10:17
Speaker 1: for us. We had a specific route we had to
10:20
Speaker 1: stick to, and they agreed on a time when we
10:22
Speaker 1: had to be back home. We had been out for
10:25
Speaker 1: about an hour when we ended up approaching this house.
10:28
Speaker 1: We walked on the front porch, rang the bell and waited.
10:33
Speaker 1: After a while, a guy opened the door. We yelled
10:36
Speaker 1: trick or treat, giddy with excitement. The guy opens the
10:40
Speaker 1: door a little more and we see a gorilla chained
10:43
Speaker 1: up in the corner of the living room to the wall.
10:46
Speaker 1: He's jumping up and down and pulling on the chain.
10:50
Speaker 1: The guy at the door says, it's okay, he's not
10:53
Speaker 1: getting out of those chains. What. At that moment, the
10:58
Speaker 1: gorilla breaks the chain and charges towards the door. Oh
11:02
Speaker 1: my gosh, directly at the three of us. At this point,
11:06
Speaker 1: I don't really remember much. My oldest six sister, Roxanne,
11:09
Speaker 1: grabbed me and my other sister and we ran down
11:12
Speaker 1: the driveway as fast as we could. As we were fleeing,
11:15
Speaker 1: the gorilla had come out the door and was chasing
11:19
Speaker 1: after us. As we got across the street, the gorilla stops,
11:24
Speaker 1: takes off its head and yells, hey, girls, come back,
11:27
Speaker 1: It's just a joke.
11:29
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Okay, I'm like, this is freaking terrifying.
11:33
Speaker 1: Which she says, which was the farthest thing from our minds.
11:37
Speaker 1: Me and my sister Christy were crying and totally terrified.
11:41
Speaker 1: We were about four blocks from home, which meant nothing
11:45
Speaker 1: to us as we ran the entire way home.
11:48
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
11:49
Speaker 1: After we got home, it took quite a while for
11:52
Speaker 1: us to calm down enough to tell our folks about
11:54
Speaker 1: what just happened. When we realized I did not even
11:57
Speaker 1: have my Halloween candy bag. I must have dropped it
12:00
Speaker 1: as we're seeing for our lives. Just then, my father
12:04
Speaker 1: told my sister Roxanne to show him the house. My
12:08
Speaker 1: father was on a mission to find those guys and
12:10
Speaker 1: give a good ass chewing, which he did. When they
12:15
Speaker 1: came back, he now had my candy bag, saying, I
12:18
Speaker 1: bet they never do that again. To this day, fifty
12:22
Speaker 1: seven years later, I can't even look at a gorilla,
12:25
Speaker 1: real or fake without being totally terrified. Every time the
12:30
Speaker 1: three of us get together, this story always comes up.
12:34
Speaker 1: We all can laugh about it now, but that was
12:36
Speaker 1: not the case years ago. Roxanne still swears to this
12:40
Speaker 1: day that she wasn't scared and knew it was all
12:43
Speaker 1: fake along, which Christie and I totally disagree with. She
12:47
Speaker 1: was just as scared as we were. That is terrifying
12:52
Speaker 1: and hilarious. I'm sorry it happened.
12:55
Speaker 2: It's a bit hilarious, but those people probably went a
12:58
Speaker 2: bit too far. Definitely can go too far. Oh shit
13:01
Speaker 2: like that.
13:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially this being in the in the sixties where
13:08
Speaker 1: it's like this sort of stuff. I don't think me
13:10
Speaker 1: mind you, I wasn't alive then, I don't think this
13:12
Speaker 1: sort of stuff would have been occurring too much, Like
13:15
Speaker 1: Halloween wasn't as big of a horrifying, terrifying thing, I
13:19
Speaker 1: don't think from my perspective. But but yeah, could you
13:22
Speaker 1: imagine fucking gorilla chained up chasing you like that?
13:26
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and it'cessially like at first to be like
13:29
Speaker 3: so alarmed that this person has a gorilla in their
13:31
Speaker 3: freaking house, no kidding, and then it, oh, it's not
13:36
Speaker 3: going to get loose, and then this thing gets loose,
13:38
Speaker 3: like I would actually probably piss myself, especially if you're
13:40
Speaker 3: three years old.
13:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. I could like I could see okay,
13:44
Speaker 1: playing the prank of like oh, it gets out and
13:46
Speaker 1: then you close the door, but like chasing you down
13:48
Speaker 1: the fuck yeah driveway and street, that is way too excessive.
13:52
Speaker 2: That's yeah.
13:53
Speaker 3: I have actually had some times though, like trigger trading,
13:56
Speaker 3: where people have jumped out and scared you, and I mean, yeah,
14:02
Speaker 3: I just don't even know if you could get away
14:04
Speaker 3: with that nowadays necessarily.
14:07
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
14:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just have to have inflatable blow up shit
14:10
Speaker 2: in your yard.
14:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Oh my gosh, I think if something
14:16
Speaker 1: like that were to happen nowadays, I think it would
14:18
Speaker 1: be more than just someone getting yelled at. I think
14:20
Speaker 1: like cops would probably be involved, probably most likely.
14:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my gosh, that is a story.
14:26
Speaker 1: Now, that is quite the story. Thank you Laurie for sharing.
14:30
Speaker 2: That, and I am curious though a follow up question?
14:33
Speaker 2: Did you go trick or treating the next year?
14:35
Speaker 1: Yeah? Have you gone trick or treating since ever? Again?
14:39
Speaker 2: Yeah? Holyh and was.
14:41
Speaker 1: That Halloween candy worth it? Our next one here comes
14:47
Speaker 1: from Hannah to start. I don't really believe in a
14:50
Speaker 1: whole lot of paranormal slash ghost phenomena, but I really
14:54
Speaker 1: got to say, what happened to me really makes me
14:56
Speaker 1: question my whole belief system. I need to give a
14:59
Speaker 1: little back story though, before I get into it, so
15:01
Speaker 1: bear with me. At the time of the event, I'm
15:04
Speaker 1: eight years old. Kids are creepy and always seeing weird shit,
15:08
Speaker 1: so makes sense my godmother was someone that I saw occasionally,
15:13
Speaker 1: maybe like once a year, When I would visit her,
15:16
Speaker 1: sometimes her best friend surely would be with her. I
15:19
Speaker 1: only met Shirley a couple times, but from what I remember,
15:22
Speaker 1: she was a sweet old woman. During this time, she
15:26
Speaker 1: had a heart attack and was put into a medically
15:30
Speaker 1: induced coma. However, I was not aware of this whatsoever.
15:35
Speaker 1: Like I said, I only met her a couple of times,
15:37
Speaker 1: so it wasn't really urgent news. Or sorry, it wasn't
15:40
Speaker 1: really urgent news to inform a little eight year old
15:43
Speaker 1: me this. Now, just keep all that in mind and
15:47
Speaker 1: let's get into the actual story. Allow me to set
15:51
Speaker 1: the scene. My friend Eric and I are hanging out
15:53
Speaker 1: in her front yard of our suburban neighborhood, the good
15:57
Speaker 1: old days before phones and iPads. Right, We were playing
16:01
Speaker 1: a little game we called Sweet and Sour. So the
16:05
Speaker 1: premise of it goes, we literally just stand on the
16:08
Speaker 1: sidewalk outside wave at cars. If they wave back, they're sweet,
16:12
Speaker 1: they don't, they're sour. Okay, yeah, you get the point.
16:18
Speaker 1: It was probably around four PM, so the sun was
16:21
Speaker 1: still up and shining. We played this game for about
16:24
Speaker 1: an hour, waving at cars and cheering if they waved back.
16:27
Speaker 1: Most would, some wouldn't, and somehow that entertained us. After
16:33
Speaker 1: some time, a light brown, older looking car came around
16:36
Speaker 1: the corner. We did our usual process, smiling and waving.
16:40
Speaker 1: The car slowed down drastically and rolled unnervingly close to
16:45
Speaker 1: us along the sidewalk. My first thought was, uh, oh,
16:49
Speaker 1: my parents wore me about things like this. But then
16:53
Speaker 1: as a car rolled directly in front of us, a
16:55
Speaker 1: reassuring feeling swept over me. Just about three feet away
16:59
Speaker 1: from me was my grandmother's friend. Surely, we waved back,
17:03
Speaker 1: and the car drove off down the street until out
17:06
Speaker 1: of view. I immediately looked over at Erica and said,
17:09
Speaker 1: I think that was my godmother's friend. Think her name
17:12
Speaker 1: is Shirley. We both shrugged and continued on our game
17:15
Speaker 1: until I was called home for dinner. I had completely
17:18
Speaker 1: disregarded the event and basically forgot that it happened that night.
17:22
Speaker 1: The next evening, while eating dinner with my dad my brother,
17:25
Speaker 1: my dad informed us that our godmother's best friend died.
17:29
Speaker 1: She had a heart attack about a week prior and
17:32
Speaker 1: sadly passed away last night Nacoma. This utterly baffled me.
17:38
Speaker 1: How could this be possible? I literally just saw her
17:41
Speaker 1: driving around last night, with a mundane event now becoming
17:45
Speaker 1: extremely puzzling. I immediately told my dad what had happened.
17:49
Speaker 1: At first, he thought I must have been confused. She
17:51
Speaker 1: had been in Nacoma for over a week. Maybe I
17:53
Speaker 1: just saw someone that looked like her. I insisted it
17:57
Speaker 1: was her, describing her appearance to a tea. Then I
18:01
Speaker 1: recounted the car she was driving. Granted, in a few
18:04
Speaker 1: times that I met her, I had never seen her car.
18:07
Speaker 1: My dad's face went white when he said there was
18:11
Speaker 1: an old, light brown car. He told me that's her car.
18:16
Speaker 1: As much as I had questioned myself, I know what
18:18
Speaker 1: I saw. Even more compelling is the fact that Erica
18:22
Speaker 1: saw her too. I don't know if it was a spirit,
18:25
Speaker 1: a ghost, or something else, but it was her. It
18:29
Speaker 1: wasn't scary or chilling or anything that you'd expect from
18:32
Speaker 1: a ghost. I felt kind of endearing. I've tried to
18:37
Speaker 1: wrap my brain around why Shirley would visit me. I
18:40
Speaker 1: only met her so many times, but I like to
18:42
Speaker 1: think that she must have just really taken a liking
18:45
Speaker 1: to me. Regardless, I am honored to have been her
18:48
Speaker 1: final goodbye.
18:51
Speaker 3: There you go literal goost bumps. Yeah, that story actually
18:57
Speaker 3: gave me goost bumps.
18:58
Speaker 1: It is chilling. Like, if there's one word that I
19:01
Speaker 1: have for this, it's haunting. And I don't mean that
19:04
Speaker 1: in like a negative sense, but it's like it's calming
19:07
Speaker 1: and haunting. It's just wow.
19:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I kind of find it a little
19:13
Speaker 2: bit nice. Yeah, I don't know, in the sense that
19:17
Speaker 2: she had.
19:18
Speaker 3: Passed and that she was just I don't know then
19:23
Speaker 3: moving on to like living or not living. How it
19:26
Speaker 3: would be the word carrying on in a way that
19:29
Speaker 3: she'd want to like cruising around in her vehicle and yeah,
19:32
Speaker 3: and saying goodbye and just like happy.
19:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:37
Speaker 2: She was not a sour person, right, she was one
19:39
Speaker 2: of the sweet ones.
19:40
Speaker 1: She was a sweet not a sour Yeah like that.
19:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
19:43
Speaker 1: Wow.
19:44
Speaker 2: So and that game Oxay is really cool. That is
19:47
Speaker 2: that is a cool game, And I think it would
19:49
Speaker 2: be interesting to play that.
19:51
Speaker 3: And I feel like as the years pass though, there'd
19:54
Speaker 3: be more and more sour people just because people are
19:57
Speaker 3: so distracted and stuff nowadays.
19:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, but wow, I like that one. I don't know,
20:04
Speaker 2: I don't find that alarming at all. That's cool.
20:06
Speaker 1: Well, and I do want to point this out too.
20:08
Speaker 1: Here At the very last, she goes on to say,
20:12
Speaker 1: thanks for reading my story, and I hope you guys
20:14
Speaker 1: found it interesting as always, Stay Wicked, and she spelt
20:18

Speaker 1: the entire thing is just filled with whys. And then
20:34
Speaker 1: at the end just little letters again, Wicked, Wicked. It's
20:37
Speaker 1: like stay and then just like hundreds of whys.
20:40
Speaker 2: Keep it Like, how cool was this? Thank you for
20:43
Speaker 2: sending in these stories.
20:45
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you guys so much. And if you were
20:48
Speaker 1: up for it, I'm going to read a little bit
20:49
Speaker 1: of a story myself. Yeah yeah, yeah, ready for it.
20:52
Speaker 2: We got time.
20:53
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to keep this short though, but this
20:55
Speaker 1: is a story of a reoccurring nightmare I had when
20:58
Speaker 1: I was about five or six years old, okay, and
21:01
Speaker 1: I had this dream I think probably about six times
21:04
Speaker 1: and it was exactly the same every time.
21:07
Speaker 2: And have I heard of this?
21:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you have I've told I know
21:11
Speaker 1: I've told you, but whether you listened or not, it's another.
21:13
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, because I never listened to you. I
21:16
Speaker 2: mean yeah, I mean sometimes hashtag married life.
21:20
Speaker 1: I love you, babe. Okay. So yeah, this is I
21:25
Speaker 1: reoccurring nightmare.
21:25
Speaker 2: Okay.
21:26
Speaker 1: So, as it starts out, I'm walking down a sidewalk
21:30
Speaker 1: with my friend. We're both not like five years old anymore, though,
21:34
Speaker 1: we're probably somewhere in the vicinity of like, I don't know,
21:36
Speaker 1: maybe eighteen years old, somewhere in that time range, maybe
21:39
Speaker 1: even like early twenties. But we're walking down a sidewalk,
21:43
Speaker 1: a concrete sidewalk, and it's odd because we both grew
21:47
Speaker 1: up as neighbors on a dirt road. We'd ride our
21:49
Speaker 1: bikes in the dirt road, go in the forest, play
21:51
Speaker 1: with sticks, so on and so forth. So this concrete city,
21:54
Speaker 1: kind of small town setting was not normal. Right. So
22:01
Speaker 1: we're walking down the sidewalk and it's kind of dusk,
22:04
Speaker 1: the light is barely on the horizon, sky's getting dark,
22:08
Speaker 1: and we were walking home, and of course, just like
22:10
Speaker 1: any classic nineties teenage horror movie for Halloween, we take
22:15
Speaker 1: a shortcut through a graveyard yep. Yeah.
22:19
Speaker 3: So but at the hat age, would you have known
22:22
Speaker 3: this sort of thing that graveyards are creepy and stuff?
22:25
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I think this part was influenced
22:30
Speaker 1: by hocus Pocus. Maybe, I think, huh so, But I
22:35
Speaker 1: don't even know if hocus Pocus was around that. Hocus
22:37
Speaker 1: Pocus is nineteen ninety nine, so no, I would have
22:40
Speaker 1: been before that.
22:40
Speaker 3: So no, it's not yeah wow, okay, So I'm like,
22:43
Speaker 3: what were you watching at five years old?
22:45
Speaker 1: I don't know. But anyways, cut through a graveyard and
22:48
Speaker 1: we're walking through the graveyard and it's got the classic
22:51
Speaker 1: like of wrought iron fences, and this one's like six
22:54
Speaker 1: feet tall, and one of those rods had fallen off.
22:59
Speaker 1: It was loose, and I had like almost like a
23:01
Speaker 1: spear head at the tip, and it was kind of
23:03
Speaker 1: like a spear shape, and I was using this thing
23:05
Speaker 1: as like a walking stick hiking through the graveyard. We
23:07
Speaker 1: get about halfway when all of a sudden, the ground
23:10
Speaker 1: begins to shut her and shake, and it begins to
23:14
Speaker 1: open up, and it opens up across the graveyard. Big
23:17
Speaker 1: cracks form and in front of graves, and though no
23:20
Speaker 1: one was coming up out of their graves. There was
23:22
Speaker 1: a very light green hue light, and I know that
23:26
Speaker 1: they were coming alive from their resting place. Now there
23:32
Speaker 1: was one that emerged in their grave right in front
23:35
Speaker 1: of us. And the one that emerged was probably about
23:38
Speaker 1: a one year old infant, Oh my god, probably even
23:42
Speaker 1: younger if I like, very very young. So this individual
23:47
Speaker 1: had passed away, but they were still quite fresh, if
23:52
Speaker 1: I'm being honest, completely like gaunt and white, but they
23:55
Speaker 1: weren't rotted yet. So definitely dead.
23:59
Speaker 3: But yeah, but hadn't been deceased for that long of it.
24:05
Speaker 1: Or they've been deceased, they just haven't rotted. It's very strange,
24:09
Speaker 1: Like I can look at them, I can very vividly
24:11
Speaker 1: remember them. They're definitely dead. Their eyes are complete white, bloodshot,
24:15
Speaker 1: skin white like it can see veins running across their skin.
24:19
Speaker 1: But they're not rotted. Okay, So anyways, this thing or
24:25
Speaker 1: child or used to be child sits up and is
24:29
Speaker 1: looking at us, doesn't say anything, It just looks at us.
24:32
Speaker 1: My friend is frozen solid and panic and I just
24:35
Speaker 1: out of reflex, I just hit it right and it
24:39
Speaker 1: just looks at me again. So I take this wrought
24:44
Speaker 1: iron that I've been using as a walking stick, and
24:46
Speaker 1: I jab it into its eye. All of a sudden,
24:50
Speaker 1: puss begins to like spew out of its eye.
24:54
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
24:55
Speaker 1: And this green light that was emitting from underneath the
24:58
Speaker 1: ground begins to swirl and almost a tornado effect around it.
25:02
Speaker 3: Huh.
25:02
Speaker 1: And though it doesn't speak, I hear its voice out
25:06
Speaker 1: loud say you killed him, and then it sucks him
25:11
Speaker 1: back into the ground and I wake up. Wow, that
25:16
Speaker 1: was a reoccurring dream I had when I was about
25:18
Speaker 1: five years old.
25:19
Speaker 2: Have you ever looked into this stream because a lot
25:23
Speaker 2: of times dreams they say that they are trying to
25:28
Speaker 2: tell you something or their meaning or things in there
25:31
Speaker 2: mean something, right.
25:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what that would mean.
25:35
Speaker 2: I don't know.
25:36
Speaker 1: Maybe it meant that I ate too much candy before
25:38
Speaker 1: bad who knows.
25:40
Speaker 2: Maybe it meant you had a very overactive imagination, which
25:43
Speaker 2: could be the case.
25:44
Speaker 1: I definitely do have an overactive imagination.
25:47
Speaker 3: But still to have that more than once is terrifying. Yeah,
25:52
Speaker 3: and like you haven't had that as an adult or anything.
25:54
Speaker 1: No, but I very vividly remember it.
25:57
Speaker 2: Huh.
25:57
Speaker 1: I've never dreamt of it, but I can, like in
25:59
Speaker 1: my mind I can picture almost like frame for frame,
26:02
Speaker 1: like a movie. I can picture it. I can see it.
26:05
Speaker 2: Well, how do you feel about going through graveyards?
26:08
Speaker 1: Fine?
26:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, I.
26:10
Speaker 1: Mean they're creepy the graveyards, don't get me wrong. But yeah, no,
26:13
Speaker 1: it's fine. It's a graveyard.
26:15
Speaker 2: A lot of people actually find graveyards very peaceful.
26:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that.
26:19
Speaker 3: Like, there's many people, and I'm actually kind of one
26:21
Speaker 3: of them, like I I find I mean, if I
26:23
Speaker 3: was in one at night, probably not so much. But
26:26
Speaker 3: like there was a route that I used to take
26:30
Speaker 3: where we used to live a few houses back. Actually
26:34
Speaker 3: that went through a graveyard and I lost I like,
26:37
Speaker 3: I yeah, it was like calming.
26:39
Speaker 1: Like like it was like calming.
26:43
Speaker 3: I was trying to get it out and it wasn't
26:45
Speaker 3: coming out properly fair enough.
26:47
Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, I just wanted to add my little,
26:49
Speaker 1: my own little story there at the end. But thank
26:51
Speaker 1: you guys so much for sharing your listener tales. Sorry
26:53
Speaker 1: we couldn't involve all of them in the show. I'm
26:56
Speaker 1: going forward. We might we might do some listener tales
26:58
Speaker 1: a little more often.
26:59
Speaker 2: M HM was fun.
27:00
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that, but don't get confused. This is not
27:04
Speaker 1: a full on episode. We're not going to sit here
27:06
Speaker 1: and say we're going to substitute listener tales for a
27:08
Speaker 1: regular episode. Once in a while. We might just throw
27:10
Speaker 1: them in as a little bonus.
27:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just a hallow and weak bonus.
27:14
Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyways, we're going to get back to doing
27:17
Speaker 1: all the Halloween week goodness. So until we get back
27:22
Speaker 1: to a normal.
27:23
Speaker 2: Episode, stay Wicked, Stay Wicked. Day Day Wicked, Stay Wicked,
27:32
Speaker 2: Stay Wicked, Stay Wicked.
