Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Although it happened quite some time ago, I'm still bothered
- 0:08Speaker 1: by this experience. Around September of last year, I spent
- 0:12Speaker 1: the night at my grandparents' home. That evening, everything seemed
- 0:17Speaker 1: to be going relatively normally. We ate my grandmother's delicious steak,
- 0:22Speaker 1: watched TV, and then looked at some old photos. When
- 0:26Speaker 1: night came around, I went to the guest bedroom, which
- 0:29Speaker 1: had been my room before when we used to live
- 0:31Speaker 1: with them. At around two o'clock, I put my laptop
- 0:35Speaker 1: up to play some music as I got ready for bed,
- 0:37Speaker 1: so that I might doze off. Now, let me tell
- 0:41Speaker 1: you there were a few paranormal occurrences when we used
- 0:44Speaker 1: to live there, but I wouldn't characterize any of them
- 0:46Speaker 1: as horrible or frightening. For instance, I've always been a
- 0:51Speaker 1: light sleeper and would wake up if someone even walked
- 0:53Speaker 1: quietly on the wooden floors outside of my room. This
- 0:57Speaker 1: happened a few times, waking up to soft footste in
- 1:00Speaker 1: the hallway by my room, but my grandparents assuring me
- 1:03Speaker 1: later that they were not up at all. One time,
- 1:06Speaker 1: I even went to check, but all the doors were
- 1:09Speaker 1: closed and nobody seemed to be awake anyway. The general
- 1:14Speaker 1: layout of my room was slightly odd compared to other rooms.
- 1:18Speaker 1: There was a corner in this room which led to
- 1:20Speaker 1: a small hallway before you reached the entrance door, so
- 1:24Speaker 1: from the bed you couldn't see the door, only the
- 1:26Speaker 1: small hallway leading to the door. I must have dozed
- 1:30Speaker 1: off pretty quickly, though, because I woke up suddenly without
- 1:33Speaker 1: even remembering falling asleep. It was around four in the morning,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and I felt extremely tired. This was a little unusual
- 1:41Speaker 1: because every time I'd wake up in the middle of
- 1:43Speaker 1: the night, I'd usually feel pretty awake and good, which
- 1:46Speaker 1: was often the reason for my body waking me up.
- 1:49Speaker 1: But this time I was really tired. I didn't hear
- 1:52Speaker 1: anything that woke me up, but since I was so tired,
- 1:55Speaker 1: I knew I hadn't just woken up on my own.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I looked in the direction of the shore hallway with
- 2:00Speaker 1: my half opened eyes, seeing nothing although it was dark,
- 2:05Speaker 1: I put my head back on the pillow and closed
- 2:07Speaker 1: my eyes. I laid for a few minutes in silence,
- 2:11Speaker 1: on the brink of sleep before I heard the awful
- 2:13Speaker 1: sound of my bedroom door closing. My eyes shot open
- 2:19Speaker 1: and I raised my body up from the pillow. Staring
- 2:22Speaker 1: into the empty darkness of the hallway. I must have
- 2:25Speaker 1: been frozen in that position for a whole minute before
- 2:28Speaker 1: I got out of bed and went over to the door.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Nothing was there, but I knew something was not right.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I always kept the door shut, so who opened it?
- 2:39Speaker 1: The thought made me shiver, and I quickly locked the door,
- 2:42Speaker 1: then hopped back in bed. I told myself that it
- 2:45Speaker 1: must have been one of my grandparents, though I couldn't
- 2:47Speaker 1: come up with a reason for them opening and closing
- 2:50Speaker 1: my door. Trying to forget it, I closed my eyes
- 2:53Speaker 1: again and laid silently. Just as I did, loud running
- 2:58Speaker 1: footsteps came from outside the room, coming towards the door.
- 3:01Speaker 1: They sounded like heavy, barefoot steps, stopping abruptly at the
- 3:05Speaker 1: room door. I waited, completely horrified and in a total
- 3:10Speaker 1: state of shock. A few long, anxious seconds passed before
- 3:16Speaker 1: I again heard the door aggressively slam shut, this time
- 3:21Speaker 1: having seen the door already closed not even a minute prior,
- 3:25Speaker 1: and never hearing it open. I was stuck in a panic.
- 3:29Speaker 1: My heart was beating rapidly, and yet I felt like
- 3:32Speaker 1: I was too scared to move. I stayed sitting up
- 3:35Speaker 1: in my bed all night until morning. I hadn't told
- 3:39Speaker 1: my grandparents so as to not frighten them, and instead
- 3:42Speaker 1: just made an excuse to leave early and head home.
- 3:46Speaker 1: A few months later, though, I was sleeping over at
- 3:48Speaker 1: a friend's place, trying to fall asleep. While lying on
- 3:51Speaker 1: the floor, my eyes closed and my body facing away
- 3:55Speaker 1: from the door, I heard it again, the door closing,
- 4:00Speaker 1: but this time softly. I looked over at my friend,
- 4:04Speaker 1: but he was already sound asleep and hadn't heard a
- 4:07Speaker 1: thing when I asked him in the morning. Surprisingly, I
- 4:11Speaker 1: haven't heard it since then, and I've never heard in
- 4:13Speaker 1: my own home. I have virtually no idea what I've
- 4:17Speaker 1: been experiencing, but I have a very strong feeling that
- 4:20Speaker 1: I'm being watched by a paranormal entity. I still don't
- 4:24Speaker 1: understand the significance of the already closed door closing again,
- 4:29Speaker 1: but I would really appreciate it if someone could explain
- 4:31Speaker 1: it to me, or even share with me a method
- 4:33Speaker 1: to get rid of it, because even still today, I
- 4:36Speaker 1: lay in bed paranoid every night, fearing that I may
- 4:40Speaker 1: wake up to something horrible. I moved into a small
- 4:51Speaker 1: apartment building last summer. It was a cheap two bedroom place,
- 4:55Speaker 1: and was really my only option considering my low paying
- 4:58Speaker 1: job I had at the time. The building was very
- 5:01Speaker 1: clearly not well taken care of, and neither was the room.
- 5:05Speaker 1: There was a build up of mold in several areas,
- 5:07Speaker 1: and the place honestly just looked like it was falling.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Apart of all these things, though, the one thing that
- 5:13Speaker 1: stood out the most was the lack of other residents.
- 5:17Speaker 1: I'd lived in a couple apartment complexes before moving into
- 5:20Speaker 1: this one, and rarely would a room even be available. However,
- 5:25Speaker 1: at this place, almost all of the rooms were still
- 5:28Speaker 1: available for rent. It was a small complex with only
- 5:31Speaker 1: eight rooms, but during the time I was there, only
- 5:35Speaker 1: two rooms were occupied, mine and in older couples on
- 5:38Speaker 1: the first floor. My room was on the third floor,
- 5:42Speaker 1: leaving the middle and top floor completely empty, but those
- 5:46Speaker 1: floors never truly felt empty. Having lived there for a
- 5:50Speaker 1: month at the time, I'd heard on multiple occasions people
- 5:54Speaker 1: talking below me. I always believed it was just the
- 5:57Speaker 1: older couple, as they were the only ones living below me,
- 6:01Speaker 1: though strangely, I'd only ever hear a woman's voice, never
- 6:05Speaker 1: a man's, and to make things stranger, i'd be able
- 6:08Speaker 1: to hear them pretty clearly, even though they were two
- 6:11Speaker 1: stories below me, it would always sound as though the
- 6:14Speaker 1: woman was muttering to themselves indistinctly. It would give me
- 6:18Speaker 1: the creeps sometimes when I would wake up and hear
- 6:21Speaker 1: the woman muttering to herself below me. But I thought
- 6:23Speaker 1: perhaps she was sleep walking, and maybe the vents to
- 6:25Speaker 1: my room were connected to theirs, allowing for the sound
- 6:28Speaker 1: to travel. But everything only got worse as time went on.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Two months in, with nobody else moved in still, I
- 6:35Speaker 1: was walking up the stairs to my room and as
- 6:38Speaker 1: I walked past the second floor, I noticed a door
- 6:40Speaker 1: to one of the rooms was open. My curiosity got
- 6:44Speaker 1: the better of me, and I took a couple steps
- 6:46Speaker 1: towards the doorway to look inside. It was dark and empty,
- 6:50Speaker 1: which is exactly what you'd expect of a vacant room,
- 6:53Speaker 1: but I got a really bad feeling the closer I
- 6:55Speaker 1: got to the doorway and ended up just continuing upstairs
- 6:58Speaker 1: to my room. Later that night, though, I was taking
- 7:02Speaker 1: the trash down and noticed the door was closed. It
- 7:05Speaker 1: was definitely weird, but I didn't know what to really think.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I knew nobody lived there, so what could it even be?
- 7:12Speaker 1: Maybe the owner of the building was working on the
- 7:14Speaker 1: room or something. That was the only thing I could
- 7:16Speaker 1: think of. Anyway, that night, I went to bed early
- 7:20Speaker 1: with a clear mind, but woke up some time in
- 7:23Speaker 1: the middle of the night hearing the woman muttering below
- 7:26Speaker 1: me again. Having seen the door below me opened earlier,
- 7:30Speaker 1: I was more curious about the mysterious woman this time.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I got out of bed, being sure not to make
- 7:35Speaker 1: much noise, and leaned my ear against the cold wooden
- 7:38Speaker 1: floor boards, listening. Her indistinct mumblings sounded close, but was
- 7:44Speaker 1: also more of a whisper. I knew there was no
- 7:47Speaker 1: way a whisper could sound so close if it was
- 7:50Speaker 1: coming from the old couple's room on the first floor.
- 7:53Speaker 1: At that moment, realizing this, I began to get nervous.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Part of me wanted to go downstairs to see if
- 8:00Speaker 1: the door was open again, but I knew I was
- 8:02Speaker 1: way too fearful to do that. Now, sitting in bed
- 8:06Speaker 1: again thinking, I started to hear the woman walking around slowly,
- 8:10Speaker 1: still talking to herself. It seemed like she was just
- 8:13Speaker 1: walking in random patterns in the room below me. After
- 8:17Speaker 1: a few minutes, though, she stopped very suddenly. It's safe
- 8:22Speaker 1: to say I was terrified, and the woman suddenly going
- 8:25Speaker 1: silent almost made it worse, as I no longer knew
- 8:28Speaker 1: where she was or what she was doing. But this
- 8:31Speaker 1: night would go on to be far more fear inducing.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I sat in bed, wide awake for thirty minutes, beginning
- 8:38Speaker 1: to wonder if the woman had somehow quietly left or
- 8:41Speaker 1: was possibly just standing in the same spot for the
- 8:43Speaker 1: past half hour. Either way, I was too scared to sleep,
- 8:48Speaker 1: and that's when I heard the floor creaking again as
- 8:51Speaker 1: someone was walking slowly across the floor. However, this time
- 8:55Speaker 1: it was coming from above me. Soft creaks in the
- 8:59Speaker 1: floors slowly made their way through the upstairs room before
- 9:03Speaker 1: stopping directly above my bed. Several seconds of terrifying silence
- 9:09Speaker 1: passed before the woman's soft whispering came from above me.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Then they let out one loud, aching scream, almost sounding
- 9:18Speaker 1: as if it were right in front of my face,
- 9:20Speaker 1: before the room fell silent again. I was basically in tears,
- 9:25Speaker 1: holding my head and trying not to completely freak out,
- 9:28Speaker 1: but how could I not. I stayed up until dawn,
- 9:32Speaker 1: then made arrangements with my family to stay with them
- 9:34Speaker 1: for a while. I paid a fee to end my
- 9:37Speaker 1: lease and moved in with my parents while I looked
- 9:39Speaker 1: for a new place. The only time I went back
- 9:42Speaker 1: was to move my stuff into the moving truck, and
- 9:45Speaker 1: as I loaded up one of the last boxes, the
- 9:47Speaker 1: old couple came out to say goodbye. I hadn't never
- 9:51Speaker 1: really talked to them, aside from simple greetings when we
- 9:53Speaker 1: were going in or out, but they strangely seemed to
- 9:56Speaker 1: be really sad that I was leaving. I'm not sure
- 9:59Speaker 1: if they ever experienced anything that I had, but the
- 10:02Speaker 1: only thing I could focus on during our brief conversation
- 10:05Speaker 1: was how distinct the old lady's accent was, and that
- 10:08Speaker 1: it sounded nothing at all like the woman I heard mumbling.
- 10:12Speaker 1: After that, I didn't know what to think other than
- 10:15Speaker 1: how glad I was to be moving out. All I
- 10:18Speaker 1: can say is that I hope I never hear that
- 10:20Speaker 1: unknown woman's whispers ever again. My childhood home had a
- 10:34Speaker 1: lot of issues with its past. A lot of deaths
- 10:37Speaker 1: happened in the house prior to my family moving in.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Most recently, the people that were renting it out to
- 10:43Speaker 1: my mom and stepdad didn't want to live there because
- 10:46Speaker 1: their son had decided to opt out of life and
- 10:50Speaker 1: before that, a few murders even happened at the house.
- 10:53Speaker 1: We didn't know the details, but that's what the landlord's
- 10:56Speaker 1: told us. I was young when my mom met my stepdad,
- 11:01Speaker 1: and shortly after they met, they moved in together. I
- 11:05Speaker 1: didn't experience anything weird until my baby sister came along,
- 11:09Speaker 1: and that's when everything went wrong. The house had two bedrooms,
- 11:13Speaker 1: so I had to share a room with my baby sister.
- 11:15Speaker 1: We'll call her b Bee. Never stopped crying, and when
- 11:19Speaker 1: I was young, I absolutely couldn't stand her. I remember
- 11:23Speaker 1: this one night, though, when she was crying for hours
- 11:26Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she stopped. I looked over
- 11:31Speaker 1: and I saw the shadowy figure hovering over her crib.
- 11:35Speaker 1: It didn't move much, but when it did, it was
- 11:38Speaker 1: slow and airy. I was terrified and hit under my
- 11:42Speaker 1: covers until I eventually fell asleep. When I told my
- 11:46Speaker 1: parents the next day, they thought it was just an imagination.
- 11:50Speaker 1: This happened so many more times of just waking up
- 11:53Speaker 1: and seeing a figure by my sister's crib, always by
- 11:56Speaker 1: the crib, nowhere else in the room. After a while
- 12:00Speaker 1: of complaining about it, I ended up sleeping in my
- 12:02Speaker 1: parents' room with my mom while my stepdad slept in
- 12:05Speaker 1: my room. But a lot more continued to happen. Shortly
- 12:10Speaker 1: after I started seeing this figure, my stepdad lost his job.
- 12:14Speaker 1: He was a hard working person, so I really shocked
- 12:16Speaker 1: my mom when it happened. He went through a rough depression.
- 12:20Speaker 1: He really loved his job, and losing it must have
- 12:23Speaker 1: been really hard for him. I remember him sitting on
- 12:25Speaker 1: the couch all day every day, just watching TV. One day,
- 12:30Speaker 1: when I got home from school, I came in and
- 12:32Speaker 1: saw him sitting on the couch and a dark figure
- 12:35Speaker 1: behind him. I remember it so clear, just standing behind
- 12:40Speaker 1: the couch. I didn't know what to do, so I
- 12:43Speaker 1: just began to cry, and my stepdad took me to
- 12:45Speaker 1: my room to calm me down. When my mom came home,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I told my parents that night of what I saw. Again.
- 12:53Speaker 1: My stepdad seemed disinterested and my mom just seemed annoyed. Again,
- 12:59Speaker 1: no one believed me. After that, there were a good
- 13:03Speaker 1: few weeks where nothing happened, followed by weeks of this
- 13:06Speaker 1: figure hanging around, usually either by Bee or my stepdad.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Some nights, when I slept in my room, i'd hear
- 13:14Speaker 1: a voice. It was a woman's voice coming from Bee's crib,
- 13:18Speaker 1: just talking to her. I never understood the words coming
- 13:22Speaker 1: from it, but it terrified me every time. As Bee
- 13:26Speaker 1: got older and began to walk and talk, I noticed
- 13:29Speaker 1: she spent a lot of time in that room talking
- 13:31Speaker 1: to her friend. My parents never seemed to worry about it,
- 13:35Speaker 1: saying it was just her imaginary friend, but I knew
- 13:38Speaker 1: what it was. The more this figure seemed to hang around,
- 13:42Speaker 1: the worse the emotions in the house got. My sister
- 13:46Speaker 1: was aloof never talked to anyone, My mom had so
- 13:49Speaker 1: much anger inside her, and my stepdad was always depressed,
- 13:54Speaker 1: and I was alone all the time. Then my parents
- 13:57Speaker 1: started fighting all the time, screaming things at each other.
- 14:02Speaker 1: My mom hated my stepdad for not keeping down a job,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and my stepdad was just a depressed mess. They seemed
- 14:10Speaker 1: to fight every single night, and every night it got worse.
- 14:14Speaker 1: While in my room, I even heard my stepdad telling
- 14:17Speaker 1: my mom to put the knife down. But worst of
- 14:20Speaker 1: all was the night when I stayed up in the
- 14:22Speaker 1: living room watching TV. It wasn't that late, maybe eight thirty,
- 14:27Speaker 1: and my stepdad was asleep on the couch while my
- 14:29Speaker 1: mom was in her room. Also tired now myself, I
- 14:34Speaker 1: turned off the TV and walked upstairs to my room.
- 14:37Speaker 1: At the top of the stairs, though, I started to
- 14:40Speaker 1: hear whispering, followed by Bee speaking back to the whispers.
- 14:44Speaker 1: The door was cracked open a few inches, and I
- 14:46Speaker 1: slowly walked over to look inside. Just a couple steps
- 14:50Speaker 1: away from the door, I could see Bee next to
- 14:53Speaker 1: the figure, as if it were trying to lead her somewhere.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I screamed, and instantly the door slammed shut. I just
- 15:01Speaker 1: stood there, screaming and crying before my mom rushed out
- 15:05Speaker 1: of her room. I just pointed at the door, unable
- 15:08Speaker 1: to make out any words. She tried to open it,
- 15:11Speaker 1: but it was locked. It was one of the cheaper ones, though,
- 15:15Speaker 1: so she was able to use her fingernail to twist
- 15:17Speaker 1: it and push the door open. Bee was in the
- 15:19Speaker 1: corner of the room, facing a wall. My mom yelled
- 15:23Speaker 1: at her for locking the door, even though she was
- 15:25Speaker 1: too short to even reach the doorknob. Bee didn't even
- 15:28Speaker 1: seem to have any sort of reaction. After that, I
- 15:33Speaker 1: fell into a depression along with what seemed like the
- 15:35Speaker 1: rest of the family. No one talked to each other,
- 15:39Speaker 1: no one asked me how I was. I became the
- 15:41Speaker 1: one taking care of my baby sister me and this
- 15:45Speaker 1: strange figure. I became familiar with it. It even started
- 15:50Speaker 1: hanging around my bed during nights where I was extra sad,
- 15:53Speaker 1: and it brought me a sort of weird comfort, knowing
- 15:55Speaker 1: that I wasn't alone. Eventually, my mom had ann off
- 16:00Speaker 1: of my dad and we left to stay with my grandparents.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I remember her telling us to pack up, and as
- 16:06Speaker 1: we headed to the car, I saw the figure again
- 16:08Speaker 1: by my dad. I felt sad leaving him, but at
- 16:12Speaker 1: least he wouldn't truly be alone
