  I've covered dozens of hauntings and paranormal happenings on
• 0:05
  this channel, some famous, some infamous, and others less known.
• 0:13
  But what I think is important as well is to help use my platform
• 0:18
  to share other people's stories of their experiences with the
• 0:23
  supernatural, to show that these experiences are indeed real and
• 0:29
  that they do truly happen. These are subscriber submitted
• 0:33
  stories and all I ask is that you keep an open mind.
• 0:38
  These are your paranormal encounters.
• 0:45
  When I was in junior high, me and my best friend at the time
• 0:48
  played with a new Ouija board that she had got for Christmas.
• 0:52
  We messed around for a while but nothing happened so we got bored
• 0:58
  and put it away. A few weeks later I was at her
• 1:02
  house again and was playing around with the record feature
• 1:06
  and my flip phone. My friend left to use the
• 1:09
  bathroom and I kept messing around with the phone.
• 1:13
  It was just me and her cat alone in the basement.
• 1:17
  I made a recording of me and the cat meowing at each other.
• 1:21
  Innocent kid stuff. But when I played it back, there
• 1:26
  was this really deep animalistic grunting sound and the recording
• 1:32
  that was definitely not there when I was initially making it.
• 1:36
  It also was way too deep sounding to possibly be from a
• 1:40
  14 year old girl or a little cat.
• 1:44
  It was a few years later before anything else happened.
• 1:48
  Next, I was around 16 to 17 years old and we moved in with
• 1:52
  my mom's boyfriend. My room always felt dark and
• 1:56
  uncomfortable, like I was always being watched, even when I was
• 2:00
  alone. After a while, weird things
• 2:04
  started to happen. Things would go missing, then
• 2:07
  later reappear in the middle of my desk or someplace obvious.
• 2:13
  I would hear tapping and scratching on the walls in my
• 2:16
  room when everyone was asleep. I'd get horrible nightmares, not
• 2:22
  like anything I'd ever experienced before.
• 2:26
  One time I got a scratch across my leg while I was sitting in my
• 2:30
  bed. I looked around but could not
• 2:33
  find anything sharp that could have done it.
• 2:36
  Last was the bed shaking every night along the wall,
• 2:41
  scratching, creepy feeling and nightmares.
• 2:46
  My bed would shake, not hard but just enough to make me notice no
• 2:52
  heavy traffic or trains nearby and there was no construction
• 2:56
  going on. It happened in my room only.
• 3:01
  I would sleep with my mom or my sister after a while because I
• 3:04
  couldn't handle it anymore. One time my mom got curious and
• 3:09
  slept in my bed to see what the big deal was and it shook her
• 3:13
  too. A few years later, we all moved
• 3:16
  out. I moved in with my future
• 3:19
  husband and we rented the basement at his childhood home
• 3:22
  for a couple years. While there, three weird things
• 3:25
  happened and it was the first time I ever saw anything.
• 3:30
  The first was this big black dog that just appeared in our living
• 3:34
  room. I blinked and it vanished.
• 3:38
  The second was in the kitchen. I was cooking dinner when I
• 3:42
  glanced to the side and saw a tall man with curly hair and a
• 3:47
  ball cab. When I told my husband the
• 3:50
  description, I remembered more of the description back in the
• 3:53
  day. It's been 10 years since this
• 3:55
  happened. He told me I just described his
• 3:59
  older brother. Sadly, his older brother lost
• 4:03
  his fight with depression long before I ever met my husband and
• 4:08
  he actually passed away in the same basement we were living in.
• 4:12
  The last thing that happened I think was either his brother
• 4:15
  again or an energy imprint. I was in the kitchen again and
• 4:20
  asking my husband what he wanted for dinner and he replied
• 4:24
  something unhelpful along the lines of whatever you want.
• 4:29
  Well a few minutes later I get a call from my husband.
• 4:33
  He wasn't even home at the time of that conversation.
• 4:37
  Who was I talking to? I would like to let you know
• 4:41
  that I do not have any mental illness or neurological issues
• 4:45
  that would make me hallucinate. I never drank or did drugs.
• 4:49
  We also had a brand new carbon monoxide detector installed and
• 4:53
  we had moved in so there would be no reason for me to
• 4:57
  hallucinate any of that. My last experiences in my
• 5:01
  current home and it happened a few years ago.
• 5:05
  I was pouring some ramen noodles into bowls for my kids lunch
• 5:09
  when the the bulls started to spin in different directions
• 5:13
  without me touching them. I stopped and then stepped back
• 5:18
  and they stopped spinning, then spun one more time before
• 5:21
  finally stopping altogether. There are more minor experiences
• 5:26
  I've had, but these were the most memorable.
• 5:29
  I hope it was interesting enough for what you were looking for.
• 5:33
  I certainly think it was. You certainly had a variety of
• 5:37
  paranormal experiences from the sounds of it, but the
• 5:40
  nightmares, the scratching on the walls and the shaking of my
• 5:44
  bed would have been downright terrifying.
• 5:48
  What really takes the cake for me is the fact that you had a
• 5:51
  conversation with something pretending to be your husband
• 5:54
  and your husband wasn't even there.
• 5:57
  All around, thank you for sharing this with us, GAIL.
• 6:02
  Hello, big fan and submitting my story.
• 6:05
  I've always had an interest in the paranormal my entire life
• 6:09
  but was never really convinced up until this event.
• 6:13
  It was spring of 2015 and I was working on a conservation crew
• 6:18
  in Lake Tahoe doing fire hazard removal and fuels reduction with
• 6:24
  the Forest Service on a chainsaw crew.
• 6:28
  I've been doing this job for a year in Nevada and this was my
• 6:32
  first time in the area. Our work day came to a close and
• 6:37
  mind you this is the day one of our schedule out of a six day
• 6:40
  work week when we left Incline Village towards our designated
• 6:45
  campsite at Spooner Lake in Carson City.
• 6:50
  After our crew set up camp and ate dinner, myself and two other
• 6:54
  Co workers took a brief walk down the service trail until we
• 6:59
  got to an intersection on the trail that wasn't surrounded by
• 7:02
  trees. We shoot the breeze and smoke
• 7:06
  American spirits for about 45 minutes to an hour, laughing and
• 7:11
  just talking about life. And out of nowhere in the corner
• 7:16
  of my left eye I see a white mist and the silhouette of a
• 7:20
  person about 6 feet tall just glide diagonally from behind a
• 7:26
  tree. It stands motionless in the
• 7:31
  middle of the trail we're on and I can see the dirt of the trail
• 7:35
  underneath it because it had no feet but its legs conjoined just
• 7:42
  after its knees couldn't see through it because it was so
• 7:46
  dense from whatever it was made out of.
• 7:49
  I whispered my Co workers name to get them to look up from
• 7:52
  their phone and as he looks up he says what?
• 7:56
  And then he too became frozen as he stared right at this figure.
• 8:02
  I ask him if he sees it too and he says I think it pierced my
• 8:07
  soul. While my other Co worker is
• 8:10
  oblivious to all of this happening, it suddenly notices
• 8:15
  us noticing it and glides slowly diagonally across the trail and
• 8:22
  behind a tree was gone. The angle in which it moved
• 8:28
  seemed as though it was a direction or path that we cannot
• 8:32
  conceive. Anyway, we run back to our
• 8:36
  campground which was about 100 to 200 yards away and just went
• 8:41
  back to our tents without saying a word to each other or the rest
• 8:45
  of the crew. The real amazing part about this
• 8:48
  experience was that unbeknownst to me or anyone in my crew is
• 8:53
  that next to the lake are these hills that gradually go up.
• 8:58
  Every morning this fog would roll down these hills and it
• 9:02
  just looks incredible. However, it is the exact same
• 9:07
  density and material that the figure seemed to be composed of.
• 9:13
  I think the spirit is somehow part of nature and maybe burning
• 9:17
  tobacco brought it out as if it were an offering.
• 9:21
  After all, this is an ancient land.
• 9:25
  That was my experience, I hope you enjoyed it.
• 9:30
  I did enjoy Nick. It sounds super creepy though in
• 9:33
  my opinion, and perhaps you're right.
• 9:36
  Maybe the offering brought forth some type of ancient spirit that
• 9:40
  dwells the area, translucent and or composed of fog.
• 9:45
  Just sounds so eerie to me. Thank you for sharing this with
• 9:49
  us. This must have happened in 1986
• 9:56
  or 87, which made me about six or seven at the time.
• 10:01
  It is important to note that where we were staying back then,
• 10:04
  a suburb and then Pretoria, currently referred to as the
• 10:09
  city of Tishwani, a large city. Even then, our house was
• 10:15
  situated only a few blocks from one of the busiest streets in
• 10:19
  the city, a broad 4 lane with constant traffic both ways.
• 10:25
  Big trucks right through the night barreling off into the
• 10:29
  distance. The kind of consistent drone I
• 10:33
  imagine a New Yorker living in Manhattan might experience even
• 10:37
  in the dead of night. On this particular night, my
• 10:41
  mother was alone in the living room with our faithful family
• 10:44
  golden spaniel watching some late night TV.
• 10:49
  Myself and my younger sister were both already sound asleep.
• 10:53
  My elder brother was keeping to himself in his bedroom.
• 10:57
  My father was not in the picture at the time.
• 11:01
  A perfectly serene scene. It must have been about 10 PMA
• 11:06
  warm summer evening and our living room front door was open
• 11:11
  to allow the pleasant evening air inside.
• 11:14
  The first thing my mom noticed was a feeling of unease.
• 11:18
  The feeling was intense and unignorable.
• 11:23
  She got up and crossed the living room to the outside
• 11:26
  porch, the dog following behind her.
• 11:30
  According to her account, this is when things got super weird.
• 11:35
  Upon exiting the house, she immediately noticed an eerie
• 11:38
  silence hanging over the place. It was if some huge vacuum
• 11:42
  cleaner had just gone and sucked every bit of ambient noise out
• 11:46
  of the air. No crickets chirping, of which
• 11:50
  there should be many in high summer, not a breath of air, no
• 11:56
  dog barking in the distance, and most disturbing of all, not even
• 12:01
  the faintest whisper of traffic anywhere near or far.
• 12:06
  Furthermore, the air had acquired a distinct dole
• 12:09
  quality, the feeling almost like your ears needed to pop, almost
• 12:15
  thickened, denser, making it somehow harder to draw a breath.
• 12:22
  Just when you think it couldn't get weirder, the dog who was
• 12:25
  standing close by broke into a long, drawn out sorrowful howl,
• 12:32
  seeming filled with immeasurable anguish.
• 12:36
  This was not her habit. It was highly unusual.
• 12:40
  She had never before exhibited such behavior and never again
• 12:45
  did afterwards. It must have been around this
• 12:49
  time, from all that I can glean, that my brother, having fallen
• 12:54
  asleep on his bed, was woken up not by the dogs howling, but
• 13:00
  from feeling cold. This was slightly unusual this
• 13:04
  time of year. I believe it might have even
• 13:07
  been the dog that woke him after all.
• 13:10
  Yet he only remembers waking up from the cold feeling that he
• 13:13
  had. He was around 11 or 12 years old
• 13:16
  back then. He surely must have sensed
• 13:19
  something amiss as well, for his immediate instinct was not to
• 13:24
  cover himself in order to escape the cold.
• 13:27
  Instead, he opted to get up and go investigate, upon which he
• 13:33
  met my mom in the passage going in the opposite direction.
• 13:38
  Not a word was exchanged between them, my mom continuing on to
• 13:43
  her room and my brother, still somewhat befuddled, continued to
• 13:48
  the living room and out onto the porch, still with no clear
• 13:53
  directive. I think this was when the dog
• 13:56
  started howling again, having moved to the center of the
• 14:00
  narrow front lawn that we had. Now my mom has returned, having
• 14:05
  fetched her Bible from the bedside table, standing
• 14:09
  resolutely next to my brother. Though I confess to placing no
• 14:14
  great stock in the Bible itself as a tool of any great power,
• 14:19
  and am no supporter of the concept of religion, neither is
• 14:23
  my mom anymore. And maybe it was my mother's
• 14:26
  sheer power of faith, which is considerable.
• 14:29
  In any event, these are the facts.
• 14:32
  As it occurred, my mom wasted no time opening the Bible randomly
• 14:38
  and earnestly starting a heartfelt prayer.
• 14:42
  The exact nature of her prayer is altogether irrelevant, save
• 14:46
  for her deep rooted faith and its effectiveness.
• 14:50
  The effect was immediate and dramatic at once.
• 14:56
  All ambient sound and natural warmer air came back in a rush.
• 15:01
  It was almost an audible, tangible looshing sound.
• 15:05
  The dog stopped howling. She approached the humans now,
• 15:10
  tail wagging and panting, totally back to normal, except
• 15:15
  that she couldn't hide her obvious relief.
• 15:19
  This marked the end of the episode.
• 15:21
  As to the origins thereof, we have speculated over the years
• 15:26
  but are careful to not make any definitive accusations towards
• 15:30
  anyone. The person who was approached
• 15:32
  with a warning to lay off still to this dying day denied all
• 15:37
  knowledge of being involved. However, on one thing we are all
• 15:42
  unanimous, foul play was involved.
• 15:46
  An ancient form of the blackest arts.
• 15:51
  Genevieve, thank you as well for sharing your story with us.
• 15:55
  It seems like whatever this thing was caused everything to
• 15:58
  be still almost like some kind of time warp, which sounds very
• 16:03
  creepy indeed. I'm glad that your mother found
• 16:07
  whatever authority it was that she needed to send this thing
• 16:10
  away and allow everything to get back to normal for you guys.
• 16:15
  First, I'd like to say that I appreciate all of you guys that
• 16:18
  did allow me to retell your stories.
• 16:21
  I appreciate you having the courage to submit them as well
• 16:24
  because not a lot of people do and overall I hope I did your
• 16:29
  experiences justice. If you would like to submit a
• 16:33
  story for the next episode because I would like to make
• 16:36
  this a regular thing if it's possible, please e-mail me at
• 16:39
  mysteryarchives@gmail.com. Please like the video if you
• 16:44
  liked it, leave me a comment, subscribe with notifications and
• 16:49
  share this around. Other than that, guys, like I've
• 16:53
  said, these experiences are very real and they do occur a lot
• 16:57
  more often than people would like to think.
• 17:00
  Anyways guys, I love you all. Thank you for being an amazing
• 17:03
  and supportive community and as always, this has been Cody here
