Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / Three Really Creepy Ghost Stories
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hell, everyone. My name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:03Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. It's October.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Halloween is approaching, so in honor of that, I thought
- 0:11Speaker 1: I would present a show about ghosts. I have three
- 0:15Speaker 1: really creepy ghost stories I'd like to share with you today,
- 0:19Speaker 1: And in fact, that's the title of today's episode, Three
- 0:23Speaker 1: really creepy ghost stories. Each of these ghost stories is different,
- 0:28Speaker 1: and I think reveals a little bit about how ghosts
- 0:31Speaker 1: manifest and the various types of hauntings that there are.
- 0:36Speaker 1: The first case I'd like to talk about I call
- 0:39Speaker 1: Case one the ghost that came to bed. This involves
- 0:43Speaker 1: lady i'll call Sally Sanders, who lived with her husband
- 0:47Speaker 1: in a new home in Mersad. What would you do
- 0:51Speaker 1: if you woke up one night feeling somebody crawling into
- 0:55Speaker 1: bed with you, and when you looked, nobody was there?
- 0:58Speaker 1: And what if it happened matt once or twice, but
- 1:01Speaker 1: over and over again? What would you do? Sally Sanders,
- 1:06Speaker 1: that's not her real name. She did not have the
- 1:08Speaker 1: luxury of forethought when this experience happened to her. As
- 1:13Speaker 1: I said, she had just moved with her husband into
- 1:16Speaker 1: their new home in Merced, California, and they had lived
- 1:20Speaker 1: there for only a few months when she began having
- 1:22Speaker 1: strange experiences. Every once in a while, she would wake
- 1:27Speaker 1: up in bed to feel someone crawling into bed with
- 1:30Speaker 1: her when nobody was there. It felt to her just
- 1:34Speaker 1: like there was a person lying next to her on
- 1:36Speaker 1: the bed. The bed would creak and the blankets would rustle.
- 1:41Speaker 1: As Sally says, it was really funny, but it scared me.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I never laughed when I was alone and I would
- 1:48Speaker 1: go to bed. I would get into bed and I
- 1:50Speaker 1: would feel something get on the bed, turn and lay
- 1:54Speaker 1: down on his side of the bed. And all I
- 1:57Speaker 1: would do was get up and go into the other
- 2:00Speaker 1: room and I would spend the night in there. It
- 2:03Speaker 1: was kind of scary. I don't know what it was exactly,
- 2:06Speaker 1: but it was kind of weird. So the first time
- 2:10Speaker 1: this happened, Sally was scared and upset, but she figured
- 2:14Speaker 1: it was a unique experience and that it wouldn't happen again.
- 2:18Speaker 1: But she was wrong. It happened again and then again,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and each time it was the same thing. She would
- 2:25Speaker 1: feel someone slip into bed, and when she looked, nobody
- 2:29Speaker 1: was there. Each time, she got more and more frightened,
- 2:33Speaker 1: and when it happened, she always went into the other
- 2:36Speaker 1: room to sleep. And when it kept happening, she became
- 2:40Speaker 1: increasingly concerned that their ghost would never go away. So
- 2:45Speaker 1: one evening, Sally decided to try an experiment. Since the
- 2:50Speaker 1: ghost always lay down in the same spot, she decided
- 2:53Speaker 1: to move the bed to the other side of the room.
- 2:56Speaker 1: She was hoping it would make the ghost go away. Instead,
- 3:01Speaker 1: it appeared to make things worse. As Sally says, and
- 3:04Speaker 1: I quote, it stayed so long that I felt as
- 3:08Speaker 1: though it was a bad experience. So I turned my
- 3:11Speaker 1: bed around. It was that same spot. It was where
- 3:14Speaker 1: the end of the bed hit that spot, and that
- 3:17Speaker 1: ghost used to lay there. One night it touched my toe.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I felt it. I actually felt it. It was weird.
- 3:26Speaker 1: It felt like something brushed my toe. Now, at this
- 3:30Speaker 1: point the haunting seemed to increase. Moving the bed around
- 3:33Speaker 1: had only evidently made the ghost angry. Sally, however, decided
- 3:38Speaker 1: to stick it out, but only for one reason. They
- 3:41Speaker 1: had decided to move out of the house. Sally was
- 3:45Speaker 1: very glad to be leaving. The ghost was making her
- 3:49Speaker 1: very concerned. She knew she couldn't live with it much longer,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and that's when the ghosts apparently attacked. As she says,
- 3:58Speaker 1: it was about two weeks before we were to move,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and I woke up one night, or my husband woke
- 4:05Speaker 1: me up, and I couldn't breathe. I had this feeling
- 4:08Speaker 1: that something was on my chest. I felt like something
- 4:12Speaker 1: was sitting on my chest. My husband woke me up
- 4:15Speaker 1: and he said that I was making all this noise.
- 4:18Speaker 1: It was as if I couldn't breathe, and it was
- 4:21Speaker 1: really aggravating me, and he woke me up, but it
- 4:25Speaker 1: felt like something was crushing me, almost crushing me like
- 4:28Speaker 1: I was an accordion. It was really weird, but it
- 4:32Speaker 1: never bothered me again, and we stayed there only another
- 4:36Speaker 1: two weeks. So Sally found this experience utterly terrified and terrifying,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and she was very happy to be moving. She never
- 4:47Speaker 1: experienced anything like that after she left. She doesn't know
- 4:51Speaker 1: who the ghost was or why he kept coming to
- 4:54Speaker 1: her bed, and she doesn't really care. She just wants
- 4:57Speaker 1: to forget about this experience, and if she had it
- 4:59Speaker 1: her way, she would never think about it again. So
- 5:02Speaker 1: I think you'll agree that was a pretty creepy ghost story.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And the second ghost story i'd like to present to
- 5:09Speaker 1: you today I call a vision of blood. This involves
- 5:14Speaker 1: a lady by the name of Dorothy Hudson. I interviewed
- 5:18Speaker 1: her first hand. She had a very creepy experience involving
- 5:22Speaker 1: what I would call a crisis apparition. So her story
- 5:29Speaker 1: actually takes place in Los Angeles, California, at a business office.
- 5:35Speaker 1: So I'll just quote Dorothy directly because she described her
- 5:41Speaker 1: experience very vividly. As Dorothy says, one experience that I
- 5:47Speaker 1: had was a very very emotional experience. I was working
- 5:51Speaker 1: with this woman that I did not get along with.
- 5:55Speaker 1: She was a bill collector. She was just an ugly
- 5:58Speaker 1: person inside and out, and she and I had not
- 6:03Speaker 1: an argument, but a disagreement. She left that day and
- 6:07Speaker 1: we were not speaking to each other. The next morning,
- 6:12Speaker 1: she was supposed to go out to Titus Street in
- 6:14Speaker 1: Van Nuys to pick up a check that a person
- 6:17Speaker 1: owed her. They told her, you come out there and
- 6:20Speaker 1: pick up this check, which once in a while she did,
- 6:24Speaker 1: but not very often. She was going to pick up
- 6:27Speaker 1: the check at eight thirty in the morning and be
- 6:29Speaker 1: to work by nine, but by nine thirty, she didn't
- 6:33Speaker 1: come into work, and we didn't have a phone call
- 6:36Speaker 1: from her, which we thought was a little strange. Around
- 6:40Speaker 1: ten or ten thirty, I went to the restroom. The
- 6:44Speaker 1: lady's restroom is all white. I walked into the restroom
- 6:49Speaker 1: and when I opened the door, I saw blood spattered
- 6:53Speaker 1: all over the floor, all over the walls, and then
- 6:56Speaker 1: that flash went away. It was a momentary thing, and
- 7:00Speaker 1: I said, oh my god, what the hell did that mean.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Dorothy just shook her head and tried to put the
- 7:07Speaker 1: vision out of her mind. She told one of her
- 7:10Speaker 1: co workers, who thought that it was not a good sign.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Dorothy had already figured that much out, but she hadn't
- 7:17Speaker 1: connected it to her co worker, who was inexplicably late.
- 7:23Speaker 1: It wasn't until a few hours later that Dorothy found
- 7:27Speaker 1: out what had caused her vision of blood. As Dorothy says,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and I quote, around eleven o'clock, this woman, her name
- 7:36Speaker 1: was Marjorie. Her husband called and asked, is Marjorie there?
- 7:42Speaker 1: And I told him no. She went out to Titus
- 7:44Speaker 1: Street and then nights this morning to pick up a check,
- 7:47Speaker 1: and she hasn't called or anything, and we don't know
- 7:50Speaker 1: where she is. He said, oh no, oh, my god, no,
- 7:56Speaker 1: I said, what's wrong? He said, I don't know. I
- 8:01Speaker 1: just got a call from the police. I'll call you later. Well.
- 8:05Speaker 1: A couple of hours later, Dorothy says he called up
- 8:09Speaker 1: and said that after Marjorie picked up the check, she
- 8:13Speaker 1: was jaywalking across the street to her car. A Mayflower
- 8:17Speaker 1: moving van did not see her coming, backed up, knocked
- 8:22Speaker 1: her down on the ground, and ran over and killed her.
- 8:27Speaker 1: My boss went to her car, and he said that
- 8:31Speaker 1: she was killed just a few feet from her car,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and that there was blood all over the street, all
- 8:36Speaker 1: over the car, just blood everywhere. And that whole incident
- 8:41Speaker 1: happened when I saw blood all over the bathroom. It
- 8:45Speaker 1: happened approximately an hour after she was killed, because she
- 8:49Speaker 1: died at approximately nine to ten in the morning, and
- 8:53Speaker 1: it was ten o'clock when I went into the restroom
- 8:55Speaker 1: ten fifteen, and I knew something was wrong. Some there
- 9:01Speaker 1: was a lot of blood. She was literally run over
- 9:04Speaker 1: by this truck, a huge, big Mayflower van. Was kind
- 9:08Speaker 1: of traumatic for me to walk into a room and
- 9:11Speaker 1: see blood spattered all over the walls, but it was
- 9:15Speaker 1: just a flash. I came back in. I told my
- 9:17Speaker 1: boss's daughter I just really had a bizarre thing happened.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I just walked into the bathroom and I saw this.
- 9:25Speaker 1: She said, oh my god, something's happened to somebody, and
- 9:31Speaker 1: I said, I don't know. But it never dawned on
- 9:34Speaker 1: me that it would be Marjorie, someone that I immediately
- 9:36Speaker 1: worked with, or that it would happen within the hour
- 9:40Speaker 1: that she died. In the third case I'd like to
- 9:42Speaker 1: talk about today, I call a Brother's Ghost. This is
- 9:46Speaker 1: a very poignant story about a young man who lost
- 9:51Speaker 1: his older brother to a tragic accident, and how his
- 9:56Speaker 1: brother's spirit appeared to him and let him know that
- 9:59Speaker 1: he is still all right. One of the saddest of
- 10:03Speaker 1: all of life's tragedies is the death of a child.
- 10:07Speaker 1: When a young life is cut short, it is much
- 10:09Speaker 1: different than the death of someone who has lived a
- 10:11Speaker 1: long life. The death of children is hard to understand,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and for many of the surviving family members, the grief
- 10:18Speaker 1: can be overwhelming. Not only do the parents have trouble
- 10:22Speaker 1: adjusting to the lost, but the deceased person's siblings can
- 10:26Speaker 1: be just as deeply affected. Tom walker at is a
- 10:30Speaker 1: pseudonym of Los Angeles, California, was living a normal life
- 10:35Speaker 1: with his mother, father, and brother. Then, in the early
- 10:38Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, Tom's life was drastically changed by the death
- 10:43Speaker 1: of his older brother, Jeffrey. That's also a pseudonym, but
- 10:47Speaker 1: Jeoffrey had a good job at the time and was
- 10:49Speaker 1: about to be married when he was involved in a
- 10:52Speaker 1: tragic car accident. He died at the scene of fatal
- 10:56Speaker 1: injuries sustained in this accident. Tom, his little brother, was
- 11:01Speaker 1: of course, devastated by his brother's death. He became very
- 11:04Speaker 1: depressed and couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. He
- 11:09Speaker 1: simply could not let go the brother whom he had
- 11:12Speaker 1: idolized and loved, and for many weeks afterwards, he remained gloomy,
- 11:18Speaker 1: not wanting to live a life that suddenly seemed so empty.
- 11:22Speaker 1: His parents tried to help, but they were also distraught
- 11:25Speaker 1: by Jeffrey's death, and there was little they could do
- 11:28Speaker 1: then offer their love. Tom's friends were also unable to
- 11:33Speaker 1: lift him out of his dark depression. Everyone knew that
- 11:37Speaker 1: Tom was depressed by his brother's death, but nobody realized
- 11:41Speaker 1: how far his depression actually went. However, his love for
- 11:46Speaker 1: his brother was so strong that he found a way
- 11:49Speaker 1: to transcend the barrier between life and death. Before his death, Jeffrey,
- 11:55Speaker 1: the older brother who died, had his own room, and
- 11:59Speaker 1: in his way room he had a large swinging chair
- 12:02Speaker 1: hanging from a hook in the ceiling. This was a
- 12:05Speaker 1: heavy chair, so he used metal chains to hang the chair,
- 12:09Speaker 1: and one of his favorite things to do was to
- 12:11Speaker 1: sit in this chair and swing back and forth while
- 12:15Speaker 1: listening to rock music. Tom would often find his brother
- 12:18Speaker 1: spending his time this way, and it was a few
- 12:21Speaker 1: weeks after Jeffrey's death that Tom made a bizarre discovery.
- 12:27Speaker 1: He had been mourning the loss of his brother, and
- 12:29Speaker 1: for old time's sake, he had been playing some of
- 12:32Speaker 1: the rock music his brother used to listen to while
- 12:35Speaker 1: swinging in this chair. So one day, mourning the loss
- 12:40Speaker 1: of his brother, Tom decided that he would just go
- 12:43Speaker 1: into his brother's room and play some of the rock
- 12:45Speaker 1: music that his brother used to listen to while swinging
- 12:48Speaker 1: in the chair. He turned the music on very loud
- 12:52Speaker 1: and just sat on the bed, imagining and remembering what
- 12:55Speaker 1: it was like when his brother was still alive, and suddenly,
- 12:59Speaker 1: to tom amazement, the hanging chair began to creak and
- 13:03Speaker 1: slowly moved back and forth in less than a minute,
- 13:07Speaker 1: it was swinging back and forth in huge arcs, just
- 13:11Speaker 1: as if somebody was sitting on it. Tom stared at
- 13:14Speaker 1: the swing in awe. He knew instantly what was making
- 13:18Speaker 1: the swing move, or rather who it was. His brother.
- 13:23Speaker 1: There was no doubt in his mind whatsoever. He just
- 13:27Speaker 1: knew that it was his brother sitting in that chair
- 13:30Speaker 1: at that moment listening to the music. In fact, he
- 13:33Speaker 1: could literally feel Jeffrey's presence. Eventually the swinging stopped. However,
- 13:40Speaker 1: Tom was transformed. His brother was still alive. He was
- 13:45Speaker 1: a ghost, yes, but he was still around. Tom was delighted,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and it wasn't long before he tried to call his
- 13:52Speaker 1: brother's ghost again his spirit, and Tom soon discovered that
- 13:57Speaker 1: he could call his brother to the swing and time
- 14:00Speaker 1: he wanted. All he had to do was turn on
- 14:03Speaker 1: the tape player to high volume and play a certain song.
- 14:08Speaker 1: The song was Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, and every time
- 14:13Speaker 1: Tom played this particular song, the swing would start to
- 14:17Speaker 1: rock back and forth by itself, just as if somebody
- 14:20Speaker 1: was sitting on it. Tom couldn't believe what was happening,
- 14:24Speaker 1: and finally he decided to share his secret with someone
- 14:29Speaker 1: He chose his good friend Christine Dennett. One day, he
- 14:34Speaker 1: invited Christine over and told her his secret, that he
- 14:38Speaker 1: could call on the spirit of his dead brother for
- 14:41Speaker 1: her if she wanted him to do so. So Christine
- 14:46Speaker 1: was a little bit shocked, a little bit concerned, but
- 14:50Speaker 1: she saw no reason why not to try it and
- 14:53Speaker 1: see if he was telling the truth. It sounded interesting,
- 14:56Speaker 1: and Tom certainly was sincere. She was sure he wasn't joking,
- 15:01Speaker 1: but she could hardly believe her eyes when Tom turned
- 15:05Speaker 1: on the music and the chair began to move all
- 15:08Speaker 1: by itself. As Christine says, and I quote, he had
- 15:14Speaker 1: a chair that hung from a chain that didn't touch
- 15:16Speaker 1: the ground. It was a swinging chair. And he said
- 15:20Speaker 1: that he could get his dead brother to sit in
- 15:22Speaker 1: the chair and swing it when the music was on,
- 15:25Speaker 1: and it turned the music on really loud, and the
- 15:28Speaker 1: chair would swing. I saw it happen. He would just
- 15:32Speaker 1: turn on the music and the chair would slowly start
- 15:35Speaker 1: in a teeny little swing, and then get bigger and
- 15:38Speaker 1: bigger and bigger, and then it would just swing all
- 15:42Speaker 1: by itself. Nobody was there making it swing. And it
- 15:46Speaker 1: was a heavy chair, but it was taught as if
- 15:48Speaker 1: somebody was sitting on it. It wasn't floating in any way.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Christine tried to figure out how this event could have
- 15:56Speaker 1: been faked, but it seemed impossible. The chair was behaving
- 16:00Speaker 1: exactly as if somebody was swinging in it. Tom seemed
- 16:04Speaker 1: very casual about the whole affair and seemed comfortable with
- 16:08Speaker 1: the knowledge that his brother's spirit was still around. This
- 16:12Speaker 1: incident convinced Christine even more that ghosts were real. She
- 16:17Speaker 1: had had previous encounters, but she had never experienced anything
- 16:20Speaker 1: like this. But for Tom, it made all the difference
- 16:24Speaker 1: in the world. He slowly lifted out of his depression
- 16:28Speaker 1: and began to lead a normal life. He eventually stopped
- 16:32Speaker 1: calling his brother's spirit as there was simply no need
- 16:36Speaker 1: to do so. He was satisfied. He now knew that
- 16:40Speaker 1: life continues after death and one day he would see
- 16:43Speaker 1: his brother again. And this is just one more case
- 16:47Speaker 1: of how love can transcend all barriers, including death. So
- 16:53Speaker 1: those are the three really creepy ghost stories I wanted
- 16:57Speaker 1: to present to you today. I did write about them
- 17:00Speaker 1: in my book California Ghosts, so if you want to
- 17:04Speaker 1: learn more about them, you can check that out. But
- 17:07Speaker 1: the reason I wanted us to do this video today
- 17:09Speaker 1: is to not only let you know that ghosts are real,
- 17:12Speaker 1: but how they can manifest in a variety of ways.
- 17:16Speaker 1: The first case, the ghost that came to Bed, is
- 17:19Speaker 1: an active haunting and shows how people can interact directly
- 17:25Speaker 1: with ghosts, even to the point of touching them and
- 17:28Speaker 1: feeling them. This was quite a negative encounter for the witness,
- 17:32Speaker 1: and she is happy to forget about it. The second
- 17:36Speaker 1: case is really interesting because this is a good example
- 17:39Speaker 1: of what investigators call a crisis apparition. While technically she
- 17:44Speaker 1: didn't see an apparition, she got advance warning that someone
- 17:49Speaker 1: she knew had passed away. Often people who have a
- 17:53Speaker 1: crisis apparition that involves someone that they know well or
- 17:58Speaker 1: are emotionally attached to in some way. What's interesting about
- 18:02Speaker 1: this case is Dorothy and Marjorie were not really getting along.
- 18:07Speaker 1: They weren't exactly friends. In fact, they were angry at
- 18:10Speaker 1: each other, but there was an emotional connection there, so
- 18:14Speaker 1: I think that is probably why Dorothy had this vision
- 18:18Speaker 1: of blood. I think it's also probably because Dorothy herself
- 18:24Speaker 1: is a bit psychic. And the third case a brother's ghost.
- 18:30Speaker 1: The reason I wanted to present. That is because it
- 18:32Speaker 1: shows how powerful love is to the point that it
- 18:36Speaker 1: can even transcend death. And this I wouldn't call a haunting.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I would call this a spirit visitation. I'm pretty sure
- 18:46Speaker 1: the brothers knew he had passed on and really just
- 18:50Speaker 1: came to visit his little brother to let him know
- 18:53Speaker 1: that he's still fine. So those are the three cases.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I hope you've enjoyed this episode to I really appreciate
- 19:01Speaker 1: you watching, and until next time, keep searching for answers,
- 19:07Speaker 1: keep looking for the truth, and most important, keep having fun.
