HARDY detailed “his most chilling paranormal experience” in a recent episode of Blurry Creatures.
The award-winning singer-songwriter recalled “a months-long haunting that began after he discovered an untouched Native American campsite along the Cumberland River,” Blurry Creatures states of the podcast episode that arrived this week. HARDY said he couldn’t explain his truck alarm sounding in the middle of the night, a chair seemingly moving on its own, or a scratch mysteriously appearing on a mirror in his home overnight. He remembered his wife, Caleigh, who was his girlfriend at the time, was first to feel “weird” about the house.
“There was one week that I woke up at 2:59 or 3 a.m. on the dot every single night for like four or five days in a row. And I would wake up, I would check my phone. …I would go back to sleep and not think about it,” HARDY said. “But I woke up the last morning at 3 o’clock on the dot and I was in a complete sweat. ...I feel extremely uncomfortable, and I turned and put my feet on the side of the bed, and I turned my lamp on. Something jumped from the A-frame balcony…and it jumped to the floor and I heard it run through my house. And I flipped every light on in my house, and I grabbed my gun and I went through my entire house, and there was not a door open, not a window open, everything. And I was shook. It screwed me up for a while. It was the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve ever had in my life.”
HARDY, who is getting ready to release his next album at the end of this month, also opened up about how his faith has grown over time, reflected on his hometown in Mississippi, discussed UFOs, Bigfoot, and more. The episode of Blurry Creatures “offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of one of country music's biggest names, covering everything from Civil War ghosts in Nashville to the spiritual dimensions of the creative process.”
