Speaker 1 (00:07):
What's that at the spooky Hey juky, I'm really sure
it's dead. He's coming this way. Wait a minute, I know,
said las Nandas.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Please hey booo, it's me Roz and welcome to ghosted
by ros Hernandez.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The podcast where I talk to people that I like
about the paranormal. Oh, I get to talk to listeners.
I love doing these. I would love to have you
be a listener guest on the show. If you're into it,
you don't have to be. Also, you do have to
(00:57):
have stories, ideally more than one or just a really
good one. It doesn't you know, that doesn't matter. Just
dazzle my socks off like these listeners today. And of
course to do that, all of the instructions actually are
now nice and neatly put on our instagram which is
(01:18):
at ghosted by Ras and you'll see it. It's pinned
on the feed and it tells you just what sort
of what I mean about send me bullet points to
my email. And when I say bullet points, I'm talking
one sentence, a beginning, middle, and end of the story.
In that one sentence, that's sort of a thing because
(01:38):
if it's too long, wait, ain't reading it? I'm sorry, dear,
We're just not gonna do it. I just gotta be
honest with you. Okay, here we go. Our first guest
is Melissa. You can hear about Hey Disney Hotel ghosts. Now,
(02:00):
I've heard everything. Take it away, Melissa. Okay, Melissa from
Long Island, Hello, Hira. Have you encountered the Long Island Medium?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
No? I have not, but my eyes have been peeled.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You've encountered me, right. Didn't you come to my Brooklyn show?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yes? I have. My sister and I went and I
volunteered to come up on stage.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I love that. Now, anyone that's listening that has never
been to one of my live shows, I've been doing
this thing the past few times. I've done these live
shows where we do sort of like a psychic game
show competition and it is so fun. And you were
one of the competitors, right, yes, now, how did you do?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I did?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Okay, I mean I guess technically speaking, I came in second,
but in my heart I won.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah. That's uh, that's all that matters. You know, sometimes
psychics you're you're a little off, but you know, as
long as you're close to the target's that's impressive enough
for me. So I'm looking at these stories you sent.
There's one that's really pop it out to me that
I want to hear about, which is a ghost and
(03:22):
a Disney Hotel room.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Oh yeah, that's the first one I thought of, actually,
when I finally got the courage to write into you
to possibly be on this episode.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So yeah, I'm obsessed with like Disney Parks and like
these stories that you'll hear people telling on like TikTok
or wherever about just like the ghosts and the secrets
and tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I love it too. Yeah, it's not the first thing
you think of when you think of Disney.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But it is if you're weird like me. That's what
I think.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Of the first time that my husband then boyfriend and
I went to Disney World, because we're in New York,
so we're closer to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, we
stayed at one of the cheaper hotels because it's what
we could afford. We figured it was just a room,
and so we're dead asleep in the middle of the
(04:17):
night because you get super tired when you're walking around Disney,
and so I kind of just woke up to like
turn over and whatnot. And sometimes if I'm on vacation
or away somewhere, I'll kind of take a second if
i'm not too tired, to kind of look around, and oh,
my god, I'm in Disney. I'm so happy right now.
Let me get comfy and get back to sleep. And
(04:38):
so I look over to my right towards the window,
and I see like a toddlersized little boy in just
a diaper and like a blonde, maybe shaggy haircut, kind
of looking out the window. He's under like the sheer
curtain that they hang, but like holding out the other
curtain just to peer out the window like a kid
(05:00):
would do.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oddly enough, like I wasn't scared.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I guess I had some of my other experiences before,
so I wasn't too scared, but I was just I
guess I was a little startled because obviously I wasn't
expecting to see that. And I blinked a couple times
and he was still there. And I ended up in
my head like, oh, bless you, honey. You know, I
don't know why you're here, but you know, and I
just kind of closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
(05:25):
And told my husband about it when I woke up
the next morning.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But you knew it was a ghost, like you, you
weren't like someone's child has broken in exactly.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I always in hotel rooms.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I always like bar and lock the door as much
as I can, because that just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I listened to a lot of true crime too.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, WHOA interesting? So are you somebody that sees ghosts
a lot?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I don't A lot I get.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I feel like I'm more intuitive, so I get feelings
more off in.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I have dreams, I've heard my.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Name's call, my name called, but I hadn't seen things
a lot. This is one of the few times. And
he wasn't solid either.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He was see through.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, like I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I just I saw the way he was dressed and
the way his hair was like more in my mind
as opposed to with my eyes right in front of me.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, interesting, tell me more, Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
So the one that did scare me the most that
happened before this happened at my parents' house, just a
town over from where my husband and I live now
here on Long Island, Amneville. How Many Hill was too
far west of us. We're more in central, like Central Suffolk,
which some people considered eastern, but god, I wish I
(06:52):
could afford to live on eastern Long Island.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know, I'm obsessed with Amneyville. Didn't I at that
Brooklyn show? Wasn't I talking about Amneyville. Yes, I love Amneville.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I've never been, but I'm just the whole story.
I'm just obsessed with.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I know it's Yeah, it's pretty interesting, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Okay, So sorry, you're at your parents' house, which is
not the Amneyville horror House, a different house.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
So, yeah, my parents. It was the summertime. I hadn't
met my husband yet, so I was single. I was
living in an apartment by myself, and my parents decided
to decided to go away there gone for a week
or a long week und or something, and so I
decided to stay in their house to get out of
my apartment for a little while. And so now by
(07:40):
this time, because my siblings and I had all moved
out by now, the only guest room was what used
to be my brother's room at the back corner of
the second story of the house. My sister and I
always found this room a little bit creepy. I don't know,
it was a little bit darker. It was the back corner,
and apparently, like decades before my parents owned it, it
(08:02):
had been an apartment with its own entrance, and who knows,
maybe some dark, shady stuff went down there. We don't know,
like all the details, but it's just been a little
bit weird in there anyway. So I'm asleep now at night.
There are windows behind me that look over my parents' backyard,
so it's not even out onto the street. And again
(08:24):
I wake up to turn over and I kind of
opened my eyes just a little bit as I'm turning over,
and there is like this very light green or white, misty,
foggy thing like slowly rolling towards me. Yeah, it felt
very odd, It felt unnatural. It scared me so badly
(08:49):
because I stared at it for a few seconds, thinking
maybe it was a light reflection or something. But I
like to sleep in the complete dark. And again, the
window wasn't on the street.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Was it shaped like well, it was.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It was probably like loosely rectangular shapes, maybe the size.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Of like a boot box, a boot, oh, like a
box that boots come in right.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, like a little bit bigger than a shoe box.
It was so like I couldn't see a face or anything,
but I knew it was supernatural interesting, and I was
scared so baily that in the pitch dark, I threw
the covers off, jumped up, ran into the corner of
the desk with the TV on it. It was still
a tube TV, not a flat TV. And I'm like
(09:33):
beating the wall trying to find the door until I
can find the door to open up and run out of.
And I'm hitting every light switch on the way. And
I reached the living room downstairs, and I got all
the lights on, and I sit down on the couch
and catch my breath, and I just start laughing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
At myself because I'm home alone.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And I probably watched some TV and whatnot, and eventually
went back to bed in the same room, which nowadays
I probably wouldn't do.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But I did. Then.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Oh my god, good for you. I would never go
near that room again. Well, I never.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Slept in there again after that night, and my mom
even changed spare bedrooms because we were all creeped out
by this room to begin with.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So, yeah, did anybody else ever witness anything like that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Nothing like that.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But my aunt, who I'm very close to, who is
also very intuitive, more so than I, I would say,
has always been like she'd never even liked to step
foot in that room. So we've all felt that there
was something that had happened in there previously.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
More and more more.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
For one of my sweeter stories that I really love,
so the area that I grew up in on Long Island.
My great grandfather's mother first bought land here in like
the late eighteen hundreds, and he lived in this town
his entire life. My dad has lived in that town
his entire life. So basically I knew my great grandfather
(11:10):
until I was almost eleven. He was almost ninety, and
he basically passed of old age in the mid nineties.
And so my cousins and I, my siblings and I
all knew him and revered him.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I mean, he was like an angel.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Everybody loved him, one of the best men on this earth.
And so the night of his wake, we had all gone,
and it was one of the first weeks I had
been to And it's where I get some of my
feelings about death from likes. It can be viewed as
a peaceful, natural thing instead of a scary thing.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And so after his week, we all get.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Home and we're sitting with my mom on her bed
and my dad's around the house. And one of the
pieces that my dad thought of his grandfather's was this
small mantleclock, and so it's sitting on a dresser in
my parents' room and we're all talking about our feelings
and how much we're going to mission and all that.
And I have two other siblings, so there's three of
us total. All of a sudden, the mantel clock, which
(12:07):
has not run in I don't know how long, timed
three times in a row. It startled all of us
and we looked at each other and very sweetly, my
mom was like, okay, that's poppy, like saying goodbye to
the three of you, and he loves you. And it
was just a very sweet thing that helped us solidify
(12:28):
to me that there's something I'm not religious, but there's
something very good after we leave this wife.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was very sweet. It was really
I'll never forget that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I love a good grandparent ghost story me too. They're
way less creepy than some of the ones I hear. Yes,
what about this alien story.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay, yeah, that I love this story. Okay, so I
can't take credit for this story. But a dear colleague
of mine who I still work with, she semi retired,
so she's on part time with me. I work at
a local community college and so we work in a
program that uses different animals throughout the school year.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Years ago before I was hired there, and I graduated.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
From the same program a little over twenty years ago,
so it's pretty cool to be back as an employee.
But basically before I was hired back there, she was
in the back of the facility. This is around probably
eight or nine o'clock at night. She's returning some of
the rodents to their specified rooms. We have little mice
and rats and things that people are terrified to handle
(13:38):
and work with. She's putting them away in their room.
And so she stopped at the bathroom and left the
door open just to wash her hands.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And so she's alone back there, which is creepy enough,
and she's washing her hands, and she picks up her
hand just to look in the mirror in a natural way,
and she sees Clara's day a solid, short blue green
face looking.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Back at her from behind her, like peering around the
corner of the door, the way like a child would,
I guess, or somebody sneaking around, and it scared Jesus said,
I mean, it would have scared me the grab out
of me too. But basically, I mean she just high
tailed it out of there, like the way a cartoon
character would move their feet to run really fast, and
(14:23):
gets nowhere at first.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Hell yeah, So she gets out of there.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
She's terrified. She doesn't go back there at night again
ever again. Anyway, fast forward a little bit of time.
Her good friend who has another friend that practices reiki,
she has him ask her about this and what the
heck is going on, and basically it comes through that
(14:48):
this little being is there to watch over the animals
and make sure that they're treated well and really respected,
and loves the way my colleague always handled it and
felt safe to show himself around her. And so my
colleague named him a zuol and so that's how we
(15:08):
always reference him. But thankfully she's been the only one
to see him like in a solid form.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's like, see, I feel bad for this little creature
because it's like he's feeling vulnerable. He wants to be,
so like, Okay, I'm finally gonna let you see me,
and like you deserve it because you're so nice, right,
and then you finally see this creature and it's like,
like so scary. I would have pepper sprayed that little guy.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh the poor thing.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I never thought of it that way because every time
I go back there again, it's creepy to be back here.
There's like humidifier equipment back there, and so it's you know,
it's not always completely quiet, even when nothing is there,
so it's creepy in and of itself, but it does
feel like something's back there.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
So if I'm back there by myself.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It's in my head always as well, thank you that
you're here, but please don't show yourself to me, because
you'll see me way too badly and I can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So yeah, but wait, so we're under the impression that
this is like an alien from another planet or like.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yeah, I mean that's what was passed along from this
Waki practitioner. That was the feeling that she got about
it when this happened years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So yeah, interesting, Yeah cool. Well, I gotta say this
has been great, I hope. So you really gave us
some good stuff here, and I appreciate you being a
participant both in my live show and today, So thank you.
(16:49):
I'm happy to I'll see you next time I'm in
New York.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Wait, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, thanks Melissa. This next caller is Brittany, who has
got sweet ghost stories. They're like comforting ghost stories, which
I actually I appreciate the kind of ghosts that, like Brittany,
are the kind of ghosts that I could handle. I
(17:17):
think actually probably not, because you know, even if these
ghosts are trying to be sweet, I would fully get
my squirt gun filled with holy water and blast them away.
So I'm glad it's Brittany that has these ghosts and
not me. Here she is Brittany, my Bard. Britney is
(17:44):
here from oh Again.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Hi, hi ros. How are you so excited to be
talking to you?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I'm so excited to be talking to you, particularly because
you're from a place that is known for bigfoot sightings.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
What's the story with that?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Do you know people? Is that like a thing where
like everyone that lives there not like, because I feel
like I'd be the one person in town that doesn't
have a Bigfoot sighting, and then I'd just be like
the outcasts, and then I have to make it up
and be like yeah, yeah, no, I saw Bigfoot too.
Is that how it is or what?
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Well, I've never personally seen Bigfoot, but I mean I
fully grew up like the library in my elementary school
had like the cast of the footprint.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh yeah, and like you know, the.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Map showing like where in town have there been sightings?
So I fully believed that everyone was like on the
Bigfoot wagon. And then when I moved to Oregon, I
was like, oh no, not everyone believes in this.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh you found out the hard way.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Yeah, I got shamed.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
This is in northern California, is where you grew up.
Bigfoot's had a presence there for a long time.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Oh yeah yeah, and Oregon too has so many Bigfoot sightings.
I mean, how is he not real? Are they not real?
I should say?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Who knows? Well, ghosts, according to you, are very real,
right from your experiences. Yeah, okay, tell me, tell me,
tell me what's happened.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Well, I live in a haunted house, but it's like
in a good way, currently scared. Yeah, yeah, this house
is haunted. Not this part of the house. Oh okay,
so our house is built, Like the records are not great,
but they bought the property in the eighteen sixties and
like the first document that I can find of the
(19:44):
house is like eighteen ninety, so somewhere in there they
built a house.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Whoa okay.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
And then the part of the house I'm in now
is actually the new part. It was built in the
nineteen twenties. So it's like ultra modern, you.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Know, oh brand, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
It has like plumbing and electrical and stuff. Okay, there
is definitely a presence in this house. And other people
comment on it too that like there's just a lot
of energy in our house.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
So when we first moved in, we kind of got
that feeling of like, you know, someone's watching you whatever, okay,
And then it was like hearing whistling in the middle
of the night or hearing people walking around. We are vegetarian,
and it would smell like bacon or like cooking meat
(20:36):
in our kitchen.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
All the time, uh uh.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
And you could hear like at night, you could hear
like the sound of like a fire, like a popping,
crackling fire, and smell cooking meat. And it was like
there's no fireplace in our kitchen, like that's been torn
out years ago, so it doesn't even make sense why
it would smell like that in there.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Weird.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I was pregnant when we first moved into this house
and I woke up in the middle of the night
in labor pains, making weird animal noises, and I was like, okay, like,
is is it go time or what's going on? So
my husband starts rubbing my back and I'm like, okay,
that feels really good. And his hands were really cold,
so it was like helping with that pressure. And as
(21:25):
I like start becoming more aware, I realized that my
husband is facing me and is dead asleep.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It was the bacon ghost.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
It did not smell like bacon, so I don't know
if it was the bacon ghost, but there was definitely
some like a very cold hand, very gently like rubbing
my back, helping me through labor pains. And I was
of course instantly sat up like what the heck was that?
This is terrifying. But it never felt like a negative presence.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
No, that's how sweets.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yeah, it was very loving and like comforting me in
a time of like extreme pain. So then I was
like this is getting weird, Like this isn't just in
my head. I'm actually feeling things. So I tried saying, like,
what is it that you want us to know? What
is it that you need you know? Is there something
(22:21):
you're trying to communicate with me? So a couple of
days go by and then I wake up in the
middle of the night and like, so clearly someone whispered
the name David in my ear, Like I could feel
air in my ear, which is terrifying anyways, Like even
if I know there's a person next to me, I
(22:42):
don't want people breathing in my ear. No, So I
was like, Okay, David means something. So I start doing
historical research on the house. And that's when I start
realizing like the date they gave us when we bought
the house was one hundred percent wrong, and that this
house is way older than we realized. But the scariest
(23:05):
part is I get the deed and this house was
built by a man named David No, And I was
like ooh, and that's when you get you know, like
full body children.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yes, that's like the scene from the movie where you're
like at the library with like what do they call
those things you're looking at the old articles microfife.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Surely microfiche too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
So I was like, okay, I'm not crazy. Something's happening.
So at the time, I had my baby and I
had my two other kids, and they are notorious for
kicking their covers off at night. You know, they want
to be all snuggled up, but then they get hot,
and then they'd wake up and cry because they're cold.
(23:47):
And it was like this pattern that had been going on.
And I realized when we moved into the house that
that came to a stop, and I'd go in and
check on them because I was so used to waking
up in the middle of that I and their covers
were always like tucked in. They were always nicely tucked
in at night, and I was like, okay, what like,
(24:08):
maybe maybe they're just really tired. I don't know, this
is working for.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Me, So but how do they wait? Did you tuck
it in and nothing changed or are you saying they
weren't tucked in and now they were tucked in.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I'm saying I tucked them in, okay, And then when
I'd go check on them, they were like, you know,
like hospital bed tucked in the sides, like fully tucked
in for the night, and I'd be like, uh, okay, whatever.
So then my kids get older and they start doing
the thing of like I want you to lay in
(24:44):
bed with me, like go with me until I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Nope, you are away better mother than I would ever be,
and say this is your time. You and David can
tuck each other in. I don't. I'm out of here.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Well, so I would like lay with them, And there
have been multiple times that when I'm laying with them,
I can feel someone like tucking us in for the night.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I'm like, oh oh, and it's.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
So hard because like the instinct is to scream, but
also I'm so sleep deprived from having three small kids.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, don't wake them up, Please.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Don't wake them up.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I finally, like me and my husband had to have
a firm talk and say like, we will welcomely live
with you and share this home with you. We're here
to take care of it. We want to show the
house respect, We want to show you respect for you know,
possibly building this house for us. But you cannot scare
our kids. Hardline, you cannot scare our kids. And since
(25:48):
that happened, like we really don't notice as much.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Did he scare the kids? No?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
But I mean when we moved into this house, I
was pregnant and then I had a three year old
and a one year old.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, so they were.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Still like young enough that they didn't you know, they're
not really aware of everything, but they were getting old
enough that like definitely my older daughter would she would
notice if Tobe was tucking her in that is not there.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Did your husband believe in this stuff not?
Speaker 6 (26:20):
I mean yes and no, because this is not anything
new for me, and he's seen things with my dad
if you want to dive into that realm.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
My dad died when I was really young, and the
day after he died was the first time that he
visited me, and like my mom and my sister, you
get like a really strong smell of him, like he
had a signature scent. Of course, it was like polo
and cigarettes, not anything to be envious of, but it's
(26:58):
like a I oh that smell, and the whole room
got like filled with the smell of him, and I
just felt like, oh, it's gonna choke me up, like
love's love. And so my dad always wrote little Love notes,
and they weren't like poems. It was just like a
(27:20):
sticky note that says I love you. We'll find them
all over the house. And like my mom for a
long time would wake up in the morning and go
in the bathroom to get ready and one of these
sticky notes would be sticking to her mirror, which is
just so sweet. But then like other weird things is
every time that I've moved into a new house, I
(27:44):
find his things. So like one time I found a
baby picture of him under the refrigerator in the apartment
I was moving into. You know, baby pictures from the
fifties are not like the greatest quality. So I had
to take it to my grandma and be like, is
this my dad? And she was like, oh, my gosh, yeah,
(28:06):
where did you get cause it was an old, like
original picture.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
And she's like, where did you get this? And I
was like, it was under the refrigerator in my brand
new apartment I just moved into. What isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, And like my mom.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Just moved recently, And as like the moving truck drives away,
my Stepdad's like, oh, they dropped one of their business
cards and he goes to pick it up and it's
my dad's business card. What my dad passed away, like
almost twenty five years ago. Wow, Like why would his
business card be in a completely different town? Like And
(28:49):
you can justify things right by being like maybe it
was in a box and it fell out of a box,
or like maybe I had that baby picture and it's
fell out. But it's weird that, like evere time one
of my family members have moved, the second we move in,
it's like my dad leaves a little calling card to
be like, I'm still with you even if you change
(29:11):
your address. Great, I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
He hasn't figured out, like I feel like that's the
way to deal with It's not spooky. It's like just
a comforting love. I love little messages. I love that,
like a little check in.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
And so I tell my daughters all the time that
I'm going to leave them with a ghost fart like
after I pass, if you're in a room, you either
hear a fart or small a fart. Just know that's
me being like, hey, girls.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Ah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Ross.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I will haunt you one day in the same way.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Oh please don't, but I appreciate that. Do that for
your children. I'll be okay with I'll know in my heart.
I'll know in my heart that you're there. So what's
the status currently of your house? Like, is is that
ghost lingering?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's still haunted.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
But just not the room you're in right now. So
somehow David right, he knows not to go in that
room or it wasn't there when he lived, maybe exactly.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
So the we do see a man walk through the
house a lot, but I think his is more of
like a residual spirit because we only see him walking
in the same place, and where he walks to doesn't
really make sense in the current layout of the house.
But when he would have lived in this house, it
(30:48):
would have taken him to a back door, and that
back door would have taken him out to the barn,
and then they had like a store up on the corner,
so that would have taken him like basically to work
for the day. And one time I was actually in
my bedroom and I saw a male like a tall
(31:09):
male figure walk past, and I was like, babe, what
are you doing? Like what where's my husband going? This
is so random? And he responds as like what do
you mean? And I'm like, oh, he's over here, and
this thing just walked like directly past me. I'm like, okay,
that was like middle of the day ghost.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh that wasn't, like that's not supposed to happen.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Right, that wasn't a nighttime ghost.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But you don't think that that's David, right.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I don't know, because the second owners of our house,
that guy died very tragically and suddenly that's before the
house had been remodeled. And then we had a third
person who also ended up in an insane asylum. So
like all the male owners, the first three all had
(32:03):
very tragic endings. So the third owner ended up in
an insane asylum here in town where they recently built
like a development. But nowhere in the development is a graveyard.
So where are all the bodies for the people who
died in the asylum. I don't know, So it could
(32:23):
be him, but I think that the main ghost who's
like very affectionate, who whispered David in my ear, I
think it's the original owner's wife. Oh and the room
that she tends to be in the most is what
used to be the master bedroom, and it's the one
(32:45):
that has all like the pretty decorative trim like it's
a very feminine space, and she seems to move around
and interact with us more than the one that just
walks through the house. Okay, but we've also seen like
soccer ball size balls of light, like just massive white
(33:07):
balls of light go through our kitchen before, and I
don't know what that is.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So what.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's so interesting? Also, like when you talk about like
you can smell the fire burning and like the food cooking,
like that to me is like can an oven be
a ghost too? Like I mean though, like h or
is it just the vibe of it is still lingering?
(33:37):
Like I don't know, I don't know exactly what any
of that stuff is, but it's just so it's so weird. Yeah,
but it sounds like you have a full cast of
characters in there.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Oh, I do, both living and dead. Let me talk
for sure, and I will say, like you've been to
haunted places, like you know, well you can feel like
the energy of a space, whether that's like good or bad.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
And I've always felt a positive energy in this house,
like even though it's haunted, it's never felt dangerous.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah. No, it sounds really sweet. Everything's like helpful.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Yeah, Like I feel like we have like a ghost grandma.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, tucking you in, rubbing your back. I think that's wonderful.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah, cooking meals for us that we can't actually eat,
but I'll take.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It absolutely as a thought. That counts. Yes, well, my dear,
I have to go hop on another call. But I
so appreciate you at sending all this in and talking
to me. This is great.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
I will talk to you some other time.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I'll try and not haunt you.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Thanks Brittney. Okay, one more for are Yeah, another person
who lives in a haunted house. This one a little
a little spookier for my taste, I must say. And
I like that kind of a thing. Here's Trish. I
(35:18):
don't believe it. Trish is here? Hi, Trish. Hello, Oh
my god, I'm obsessed with the name Trash. Really, Oh
my god. It's such a good one because it sounds
like Trish like I don't know, it just it rolls
like it rolls off the tongue. It's it's just a
(35:40):
nice sound.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Yeah, it could be you could be playful.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yes, it be a librarian, Trish. Trish, where are you?
I hear you got ghost stories? What's the story?
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Where do we start.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Well, I think the one that's probably most applicable for
your show is something that I had had firsthand experience
with repeatedly and unable to shape. You'd have to sometimes
learn how to coexist with a ghost when they live in.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Your house, right, roommates.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Right, So I believe in this supernatural in terms of
I don't know what's out there, So if you show
me something, Okay, I'm not gonna bug you, you don't
bug me. It's sort of my mantras. And there was
a house I bought many years ago and lived in.
I became aware of this ghost, as we'll call him
(36:39):
pretty quickly. Was in the first twelve hours of taking
possession of the house.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
What and Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:45):
He made himself known as soon as I was alone
in the house, and it was scary, and I called
my mom like a baby, and she came over and
stayed with me my first night.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (36:56):
Well?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
As soon as everybody last from my family who helped
move me in, I walked upstairs. I was putting the
bedroom together with shelves and books and things, and there
was this enormous crash from the downstairs from the first floor.
I rushed down and there was this globe from the
ceiling that had just popped off and shattered over a
still empty living room. And it spooked me, you know,
(37:18):
and I was young and real scared, and I called
my mom and she came over and spent the night.
And from there it was every so often now to
see something out of the corner of your eyes, colors,
you hear things, but nothing that I could really feel
a sense of fear from until one morning, slipping in
my bed and the dogs are in there, and everybody's quiet,
(37:41):
and I lived alone and single at the time, and
I heard this raucous what sounded like from the next
room of the second floor, and then suddenly very heavy
footsteps winden heels or winning shoes that are clipping the
clack footsteps from very far away, coming towards my room.
Now instantly I'm thinking, well, who's in the house? I'm
(38:02):
the only one here. And then shortly thereafter those steps
are from far away. The house is only so big,
and I knew where the house stopped and the backyard began,
and it sounded as if they were coming from the backyard,
but again among the second floor, So that doesn't really
make any sense. The steps continued closer and closer and
closer until they were quite literally right next to me.
(38:25):
My eyes are shut. I'm curled up on a bob,
still in bed, and just freaked out and waited until
the steps came to an abrupt book right next to
my bed. I sat there for another ten seconds, just
praying it away so to seek opened my eyes and
there was nothing there. But it was very impactful and
in my judging in my brain, this distance, thinking, this
(38:47):
distance is too far away, and it stopped right in
front of me, and then just nothing was there. And
I conveyed this to my family and friends, and then
suddenly I started to hear more stories from a friend
or two, mostly my sisters, who would come and well
out of the house, and they kept reporting pinching and
hair pulling and very innocent things that would not necessarily
(39:11):
scare you, except that they could not account for where
they or who they had come from. And so there
became sort of a running joke that the house was
handed and there was a ghost, but it was again,
it was nothing troublesome.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Pinching and hair pulling is troublesome to me, Well, you know,
it would be.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
To me, and it didn't happen to me, but I
had this footsteps. And the other thing that's important about
my particular story there is that I kept hearing this
cooking the clock of the shoes. But at the time
the house was carpeted on the second floor, so I
couldn't account for that either. So I just kind of
made a conscious effort to say, look, if there's something there,
that's fine. I'm just been were going to have to
(39:48):
codgest right. I bought this house at my first house,
and at one point one day I was coming up
the stairs to the second floor. Again, I had a
basket of laundry. I had this overwhelming sensation of there's
something up here. There's something there, and when I get
to the top of the stairs, if I look left,
I'm going to see something. So I stopped, and I paused,
(40:08):
and I just said, out loud, I know you're there.
I also know that if I see you, I'm going
to be scared, and I don't want to be scared,
but please don't. And I said it out loud to
the ether, and then continued up the stairs and walked
into my bedroom on the right, thankfully not on the
left and everything was fine. But I felt at peace
(40:28):
then with myself, and honestly, the ghost, whoever it was,
didn't really bother me after that, and I was definitely
never scared.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
So all this to.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Say, you know, these encounters, the sisters, the friend, my
mother repeatedly asking me why I was yelling for her
across the house when I wasn't in the house. You know,
they hear my name called, I turn around or I
look upstairs, and then the person to come in the
back door didn't like that, and I learned that's like
throwing voices, something a ghost might do.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Did you ever find out who this ghost is?
Speaker 5 (41:00):
I did, unfortunately, Well I'm going to say fortunately I did,
so I had a number of these stories over the years.
It's not too long after that. I moved out of
the house, bought another house, and I used the house
as rental property, and my run in my life was
a little concerned what's going to happen? And I didn't
disclose anything because I don't have to, and I really
(41:20):
wouldn't know what to say other than you know, sometimes
you hear words stuff. But years later, I have a
friend who does a lot of historical research, and she
was very interested in this house. It's a very old house,
it's one hundred and thirty years old. And she did
some research and she came to orc she was my
coworker the next day and she said, well, I think
(41:41):
I figured it out, and she had a death certificate.
She'd done some research online and this is probably fifteen
years ago from now. She'd done some research with the
information she had and she produced the death certificates and
a story about a man who was thirty three who
lived in the house in the sixties with his parents,
and he had hung himself in the back yard in
(42:04):
a shed at the rear of the property was very
descriptive the rear of the property. This thirty three year
old man was found hanging by his mother and the
woman discovered her boy, the thirty three year old man.
The boy and ran into the house to get to
the phone and called the authorities. Ambulance came. He didn't
make it. But the thing that's sack to me was
(42:26):
there's a woman running through the house from the back
of the property, which would be outside again. This woman
and he instantly came to me, there's a woman running
from the backyard right up into my bedroom, which would
have made sense for a woman who had found her
son hanging to then you know, of course run through
the house. And so the man's name was Charlie who died,
(42:51):
and I could sort of relate to that, and I said, okay,
well here's the problem. One of the dogs was named Charlie.
So I'm constantly yelling hey, Charlie, Hi, Charlie, come here, Charlie,
stop to Charlie whatever, which made a lot of sense
in some respects and not in others, but at least
I thought I knew.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Who it was.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
There was a troubled young man who found himself the
back of the property, and then his parents, his mother
had found him.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
I'm just picturing this poor ghost every time you used
to say, charge, oh, Charlie, don't poop there, Charlie, come here, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Yeah, I felt with his mother, because I had a
distinct memory that has to be that kirkety crack woman
coming from It was well beyond the end of the
house if these steps originating, right, So that was frightening,
But all in all, it was not a negative experience.
I had bearing far between reports of anything sinister occurring
with tenants or friends, well whomever. But years later, the
(43:46):
friends who found this information came back to the house
and she started talking to him. She liked the paranomial
and talking to people, and she put her phone up
and started recording and calling for him, and the place
went nuts with but you could only see them through
the screen on her phone. So she holds her phone
up to record she's talking to him. And at the
time of the house was empty and I was turning
(44:08):
it over to a new couple, and the orbs went
nuts when she started calling his name. So we think
he's there. We hope he's happy, and he doesn't bother us,
so you know, if you can go lunch, Charlie go.
But otherwise not a bad guy. And I think his
mother was just very very frightened.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Oh, I'm obsessed with your friend. That's like, I'll figure.
Speaker 5 (44:31):
Out he's great.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
What about the Lamp Mansion a place that I went
to have you spent time there.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
I used to have a lot of lunches there, mostly
with this particular friend. She was a coworker. We worked
downtown near the lamp. They were open at the time
for lunch, great food, very close by. And they would
let you sort of wander around, and we did it
often and I didn't never see anything particularly tru But again,
it's the middle of the day at once, but my
(45:03):
friends get out her phone start talking to people. She
didn't know who. You know, there's a bunch of people
that have died there. He has ever read any of
the books. It's a very troubled family, the theory of
mostly suicide and alcoholism and some violence. But it's you know,
lots and lots of stories there. But she again opened
her phone one day. It may just be Jill. She
(45:24):
just made me to come to it. I don't know.
She was just filming us walking around the place and waving.
And the next day she came back to work and said, well,
I looked at the video and there's a whole bunch
of things flying around the video right in front of us.
And she was intrigued enough to send it to the
Paranormal Society of Saint Louis and they put it up
on her website, which I didn't really know what to
(45:46):
do about. But yeah, lots of didn't gone video there
all because my friend she didn't have any girls in
her house.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
That's the place that I was at, and I believe
that I saw a little like I'm gonna say, a
small man. I don't know. I was sleep deprived. It
was dark, but I like saw in the darkness like
this dark figure. The only way I've been able to
(46:14):
describe it is it looked like I had to go
to the bathroom and it was just like like like
waddling past my eyeline. I was at the bottom of
the main staircase looking up and it was on the
first floor, and I just saw it go across my
eye line upstairs. Did it go up the stairs, No,
(46:35):
it was already up there. It just went from like
from left to right as I was looking up the stairs.
Speaker 7 (46:41):
Okay, we were at the if you're at the spot,
we were at the landing on those stairs talking to Joe,
and she showed us right there and that at the
spot or something very clearly white and fast and sort
of smoking looking flew up the stairs and passed us
right in that spot. Yeah, I can send you the video.
Speaker 5 (47:03):
Maybe you could identify I couldn't identify anyone, but there
was something definitely there and it was not part of
the lighting, more people or anything else. Sort of floating vibes.
It was specific enough that they looked into it and said, yeah,
we've seen that before.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Oh yeah, well, Trish, I'm so sorry. I gotta go
talk to somebody else now, but I so appreciate you
sharing this. Of course, I will talk to you some
other time, and you look out for any pinching or
hair polling or anything like that. You let me know
if anything happens.

The podcast where I talk to people that I like

I love doing these. I would love to have you

you don't have to be. Also, you do have to

In that one sentence, that's sort of a thing because
(01:38):
if it's too long, wait, ain't reading it? I'm sorry, dear,
We're just not gonna do it. I just gotta be
honest with you. Okay, here we go. Our first guest
is Melissa. You can hear about Hey Disney Hotel ghosts. Now,
(02:00):
I've heard everything. Take it away, Melissa. Okay, Melissa from
Long Island, Hello, Hira. Have you encountered the Long Island Medium?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
No? I have not, but my eyes have been peeled.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You've encountered me, right. Didn't you come to my Brooklyn show?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yes? I have. My sister and I went and I
volunteered to come up on stage.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I love that. Now, anyone that's listening that has never
been to one of my live shows, I've been doing
this thing the past few times. I've done these live
shows where we do sort of like a psychic game
show competition and it is so fun. And you were
one of the competitors, right, yes, now, how did you do?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I did?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Okay, I mean I guess technically speaking, I came in second,
but in my heart I won.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah. That's uh, that's all that matters. You know, sometimes
psychics you're you're a little off, but you know, as
long as you're close to the target's that's impressive enough
for me. So I'm looking at these stories you sent.
There's one that's really pop it out to me that
I want to hear about, which is a ghost and
(03:22):
a Disney Hotel room.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Oh yeah, that's the first one I thought of, actually,
when I finally got the courage to write into you
to possibly be on this episode.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So yeah, I'm obsessed with like Disney Parks and like
these stories that you'll hear people telling on like TikTok
or wherever about just like the ghosts and the secrets
and tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I love it too. Yeah, it's not the first thing
you think of when you think of Disney.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But it is if you're weird like me. That's what
I think.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Of the first time that my husband then boyfriend and
I went to Disney World, because we're in New York,
so we're closer to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, we
stayed at one of the cheaper hotels because it's what
we could afford. We figured it was just a room,
and so we're dead asleep in the middle of the
(04:17):
night because you get super tired when you're walking around Disney,
and so I kind of just woke up to like
turn over and whatnot. And sometimes if I'm on vacation
or away somewhere, I'll kind of take a second if
i'm not too tired, to kind of look around, and oh,
my god, I'm in Disney. I'm so happy right now.
Let me get comfy and get back to sleep. And
(04:38):
so I look over to my right towards the window,
and I see like a toddlersized little boy in just
a diaper and like a blonde, maybe shaggy haircut, kind
of looking out the window. He's under like the sheer
curtain that they hang, but like holding out the other
curtain just to peer out the window like a kid
(05:00):
would do.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oddly enough, like I wasn't scared.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I guess I had some of my other experiences before,
so I wasn't too scared, but I was just I
guess I was a little startled because obviously I wasn't
expecting to see that. And I blinked a couple times
and he was still there. And I ended up in
my head like, oh, bless you, honey. You know, I
don't know why you're here, but you know, and I
just kind of closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
(05:25):
And told my husband about it when I woke up
the next morning.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But you knew it was a ghost, like you, you
weren't like someone's child has broken in exactly.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I always in hotel rooms.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I always like bar and lock the door as much
as I can, because that just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I listened to a lot of true crime too.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, WHOA interesting? So are you somebody that sees ghosts
a lot?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I don't A lot I get.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I feel like I'm more intuitive, so I get feelings
more off in.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I have dreams, I've heard my.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Name's call, my name called, but I hadn't seen things
a lot. This is one of the few times. And
he wasn't solid either.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He was see through.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, like I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I just I saw the way he was dressed and
the way his hair was like more in my mind
as opposed to with my eyes right in front of me.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, interesting, tell me more, Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
So the one that did scare me the most that
happened before this happened at my parents' house, just a
town over from where my husband and I live now
here on Long Island, Amneville. How Many Hill was too
far west of us. We're more in central, like Central Suffolk,
which some people considered eastern, but god, I wish I
(06:52):
could afford to live on eastern Long Island.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know, I'm obsessed with Amneyville. Didn't I at that
Brooklyn show? Wasn't I talking about Amneyville. Yes, I love Amneville.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I've never been, but I'm just the whole story.
I'm just obsessed with.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I know it's Yeah, it's pretty interesting, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Okay, So sorry, you're at your parents' house, which is
not the Amneyville horror House, a different house.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
So, yeah, my parents. It was the summertime. I hadn't
met my husband yet, so I was single. I was
living in an apartment by myself, and my parents decided
to decided to go away there gone for a week
or a long week und or something, and so I
decided to stay in their house to get out of
my apartment for a little while. And so now by
(07:40):
this time, because my siblings and I had all moved
out by now, the only guest room was what used
to be my brother's room at the back corner of
the second story of the house. My sister and I
always found this room a little bit creepy. I don't know,
it was a little bit darker. It was the back corner,
and apparently, like decades before my parents owned it, it
(08:02):
had been an apartment with its own entrance, and who knows,
maybe some dark, shady stuff went down there. We don't know,
like all the details, but it's just been a little
bit weird in there anyway. So I'm asleep now at night.
There are windows behind me that look over my parents' backyard,
so it's not even out onto the street. And again
(08:24):
I wake up to turn over and I kind of
opened my eyes just a little bit as I'm turning over,
and there is like this very light green or white, misty,
foggy thing like slowly rolling towards me. Yeah, it felt
very odd, It felt unnatural. It scared me so badly
(08:49):
because I stared at it for a few seconds, thinking
maybe it was a light reflection or something. But I
like to sleep in the complete dark. And again, the
window wasn't on the street.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Was it shaped like well, it was.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It was probably like loosely rectangular shapes, maybe the size.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Of like a boot box, a boot, oh, like a
box that boots come in right.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, like a little bit bigger than a shoe box.
It was so like I couldn't see a face or anything,
but I knew it was supernatural interesting, and I was
scared so baily that in the pitch dark, I threw
the covers off, jumped up, ran into the corner of
the desk with the TV on it. It was still
a tube TV, not a flat TV. And I'm like
(09:33):
beating the wall trying to find the door until I
can find the door to open up and run out of.
And I'm hitting every light switch on the way. And
I reached the living room downstairs, and I got all
the lights on, and I sit down on the couch
and catch my breath, and I just start laughing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
At myself because I'm home alone.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And I probably watched some TV and whatnot, and eventually
went back to bed in the same room, which nowadays
I probably wouldn't do.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But I did. Then.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Oh my god, good for you. I would never go
near that room again. Well, I never.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Slept in there again after that night, and my mom
even changed spare bedrooms because we were all creeped out
by this room to begin with.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So, yeah, did anybody else ever witness anything like that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Nothing like that.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But my aunt, who I'm very close to, who is
also very intuitive, more so than I, I would say,
has always been like she'd never even liked to step
foot in that room. So we've all felt that there
was something that had happened in there previously.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
More and more more.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
For one of my sweeter stories that I really love,
so the area that I grew up in on Long Island.
My great grandfather's mother first bought land here in like
the late eighteen hundreds, and he lived in this town
his entire life. My dad has lived in that town
his entire life. So basically I knew my great grandfather
(11:10):
until I was almost eleven. He was almost ninety, and
he basically passed of old age in the mid nineties.
And so my cousins and I, my siblings and I
all knew him and revered him.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I mean, he was like an angel.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Everybody loved him, one of the best men on this earth.
And so the night of his wake, we had all gone,
and it was one of the first weeks I had
been to And it's where I get some of my
feelings about death from likes. It can be viewed as
a peaceful, natural thing instead of a scary thing.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And so after his week, we all get.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Home and we're sitting with my mom on her bed
and my dad's around the house. And one of the
pieces that my dad thought of his grandfather's was this
small mantleclock, and so it's sitting on a dresser in
my parents' room and we're all talking about our feelings
and how much we're going to mission and all that.
And I have two other siblings, so there's three of
us total. All of a sudden, the mantel clock, which
(12:07):
has not run in I don't know how long, timed
three times in a row. It startled all of us
and we looked at each other and very sweetly, my
mom was like, okay, that's poppy, like saying goodbye to
the three of you, and he loves you. And it
was just a very sweet thing that helped us solidify
(12:28):
to me that there's something I'm not religious, but there's
something very good after we leave this wife.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was very sweet. It was really
I'll never forget that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I love a good grandparent ghost story me too. They're
way less creepy than some of the ones I hear. Yes,
what about this alien story.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay, yeah, that I love this story. Okay, so I
can't take credit for this story. But a dear colleague
of mine who I still work with, she semi retired,
so she's on part time with me. I work at
a local community college and so we work in a
program that uses different animals throughout the school year.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Years ago before I was hired there, and I graduated.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
From the same program a little over twenty years ago,
so it's pretty cool to be back as an employee.
But basically before I was hired back there, she was
in the back of the facility. This is around probably
eight or nine o'clock at night. She's returning some of
the rodents to their specified rooms. We have little mice
and rats and things that people are terrified to handle
(13:38):
and work with. She's putting them away in their room.
And so she stopped at the bathroom and left the
door open just to wash her hands.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And so she's alone back there, which is creepy enough,
and she's washing her hands, and she picks up her
hand just to look in the mirror in a natural way,
and she sees Clara's day a solid, short blue green
face looking.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Back at her from behind her, like peering around the
corner of the door, the way like a child would,
I guess, or somebody sneaking around, and it scared Jesus said,
I mean, it would have scared me the grab out
of me too. But basically, I mean she just high
tailed it out of there, like the way a cartoon
character would move their feet to run really fast, and
(14:23):
gets nowhere at first.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Hell yeah, So she gets out of there.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
She's terrified. She doesn't go back there at night again
ever again. Anyway, fast forward a little bit of time.
Her good friend who has another friend that practices reiki,
she has him ask her about this and what the
heck is going on, and basically it comes through that
(14:48):
this little being is there to watch over the animals
and make sure that they're treated well and really respected,
and loves the way my colleague always handled it and
felt safe to show himself around her. And so my
colleague named him a zuol and so that's how we
(15:08):
always reference him. But thankfully she's been the only one
to see him like in a solid form.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's like, see, I feel bad for this little creature
because it's like he's feeling vulnerable. He wants to be,
so like, Okay, I'm finally gonna let you see me,
and like you deserve it because you're so nice, right,
and then you finally see this creature and it's like,
like so scary. I would have pepper sprayed that little guy.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh the poor thing.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I never thought of it that way because every time
I go back there again, it's creepy to be back here.
There's like humidifier equipment back there, and so it's you know,
it's not always completely quiet, even when nothing is there,
so it's creepy in and of itself, but it does
feel like something's back there.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
So if I'm back there by myself.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It's in my head always as well, thank you that
you're here, but please don't show yourself to me, because
you'll see me way too badly and I can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So yeah, but wait, so we're under the impression that
this is like an alien from another planet or like.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yeah, I mean that's what was passed along from this
Waki practitioner. That was the feeling that she got about
it when this happened years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So yeah, interesting, Yeah cool. Well, I gotta say this
has been great, I hope. So you really gave us
some good stuff here, and I appreciate you being a
participant both in my live show and today, So thank you.
(16:49):
I'm happy to I'll see you next time I'm in
New York.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Wait, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, thanks Melissa. This next caller is Brittany, who has
got sweet ghost stories. They're like comforting ghost stories, which
I actually I appreciate the kind of ghosts that, like Brittany,
are the kind of ghosts that I could handle. I
(17:17):
think actually probably not, because you know, even if these
ghosts are trying to be sweet, I would fully get
my squirt gun filled with holy water and blast them away.
So I'm glad it's Brittany that has these ghosts and
not me. Here she is Brittany, my Bard. Britney is
(17:44):
here from oh Again.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Hi, hi ros. How are you so excited to be
talking to you?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I'm so excited to be talking to you, particularly because
you're from a place that is known for bigfoot sightings.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
What's the story with that?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Do you know people? Is that like a thing where
like everyone that lives there not like, because I feel
like I'd be the one person in town that doesn't
have a Bigfoot sighting, and then I'd just be like
the outcasts, and then I have to make it up
and be like yeah, yeah, no, I saw Bigfoot too.
Is that how it is or what?
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Well, I've never personally seen Bigfoot, but I mean I
fully grew up like the library in my elementary school
had like the cast of the footprint.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh yeah, and like you know, the.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Map showing like where in town have there been sightings?
So I fully believed that everyone was like on the
Bigfoot wagon. And then when I moved to Oregon, I
was like, oh no, not everyone believes in this.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh you found out the hard way.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Yeah, I got shamed.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
This is in northern California, is where you grew up.
Bigfoot's had a presence there for a long time.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Oh yeah yeah, and Oregon too has so many Bigfoot sightings.
I mean, how is he not real? Are they not real?
I should say?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Who knows? Well, ghosts, according to you, are very real,
right from your experiences. Yeah, okay, tell me, tell me,
tell me what's happened.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Well, I live in a haunted house, but it's like
in a good way, currently scared. Yeah, yeah, this house
is haunted. Not this part of the house. Oh okay,
so our house is built, Like the records are not great,
but they bought the property in the eighteen sixties and
like the first document that I can find of the
(19:44):
house is like eighteen ninety, so somewhere in there they
built a house.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Whoa okay.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
And then the part of the house I'm in now
is actually the new part. It was built in the
nineteen twenties. So it's like ultra modern, you.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Know, oh brand, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
It has like plumbing and electrical and stuff. Okay, there
is definitely a presence in this house. And other people
comment on it too that like there's just a lot
of energy in our house.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
So when we first moved in, we kind of got
that feeling of like, you know, someone's watching you whatever, okay,
And then it was like hearing whistling in the middle
of the night or hearing people walking around. We are vegetarian,
and it would smell like bacon or like cooking meat
(20:36):
in our kitchen.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
All the time, uh uh.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
And you could hear like at night, you could hear
like the sound of like a fire, like a popping,
crackling fire, and smell cooking meat. And it was like
there's no fireplace in our kitchen, like that's been torn
out years ago, so it doesn't even make sense why
it would smell like that in there.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Weird.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I was pregnant when we first moved into this house
and I woke up in the middle of the night
in labor pains, making weird animal noises, and I was like, okay, like,
is is it go time or what's going on? So
my husband starts rubbing my back and I'm like, okay,
that feels really good. And his hands were really cold,
so it was like helping with that pressure. And as
(21:25):
I like start becoming more aware, I realized that my
husband is facing me and is dead asleep.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It was the bacon ghost.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
It did not smell like bacon, so I don't know
if it was the bacon ghost, but there was definitely
some like a very cold hand, very gently like rubbing
my back, helping me through labor pains. And I was
of course instantly sat up like what the heck was that?
This is terrifying. But it never felt like a negative presence.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
No, that's how sweets.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yeah, it was very loving and like comforting me in
a time of like extreme pain. So then I was
like this is getting weird, Like this isn't just in
my head. I'm actually feeling things. So I tried saying, like,
what is it that you want us to know? What
is it that you need you know? Is there something
(22:21):
you're trying to communicate with me? So a couple of
days go by and then I wake up in the
middle of the night and like, so clearly someone whispered
the name David in my ear, Like I could feel
air in my ear, which is terrifying anyways, Like even
if I know there's a person next to me, I
(22:42):
don't want people breathing in my ear. No, So I
was like, Okay, David means something. So I start doing
historical research on the house. And that's when I start
realizing like the date they gave us when we bought
the house was one hundred percent wrong, and that this
house is way older than we realized. But the scariest
(23:05):
part is I get the deed and this house was
built by a man named David No, And I was
like ooh, and that's when you get you know, like
full body children.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yes, that's like the scene from the movie where you're
like at the library with like what do they call
those things you're looking at the old articles microfife.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Surely microfiche too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
So I was like, okay, I'm not crazy. Something's happening.
So at the time, I had my baby and I
had my two other kids, and they are notorious for
kicking their covers off at night. You know, they want
to be all snuggled up, but then they get hot,
and then they'd wake up and cry because they're cold.
(23:47):
And it was like this pattern that had been going on.
And I realized when we moved into the house that
that came to a stop, and I'd go in and
check on them because I was so used to waking
up in the middle of that I and their covers
were always like tucked in. They were always nicely tucked
in at night, and I was like, okay, what like,
(24:08):
maybe maybe they're just really tired. I don't know, this
is working for.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Me, So but how do they wait? Did you tuck
it in and nothing changed or are you saying they
weren't tucked in and now they were tucked in.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I'm saying I tucked them in, okay, And then when
I'd go check on them, they were like, you know,
like hospital bed tucked in the sides, like fully tucked
in for the night, and I'd be like, uh, okay, whatever.
So then my kids get older and they start doing
the thing of like I want you to lay in
(24:44):
bed with me, like go with me until I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Nope, you are away better mother than I would ever be,
and say this is your time. You and David can
tuck each other in. I don't. I'm out of here.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Well, so I would like lay with them, And there
have been multiple times that when I'm laying with them,
I can feel someone like tucking us in for the night.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I'm like, oh oh, and it's.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
So hard because like the instinct is to scream, but
also I'm so sleep deprived from having three small kids.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, don't wake them up, Please.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Don't wake them up.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I finally, like me and my husband had to have
a firm talk and say like, we will welcomely live
with you and share this home with you. We're here
to take care of it. We want to show the
house respect, We want to show you respect for you know,
possibly building this house for us. But you cannot scare
our kids. Hardline, you cannot scare our kids. And since
(25:48):
that happened, like we really don't notice as much.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Did he scare the kids? No?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
But I mean when we moved into this house, I
was pregnant and then I had a three year old
and a one year old.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, so they were.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Still like young enough that they didn't you know, they're
not really aware of everything, but they were getting old
enough that like definitely my older daughter would she would
notice if Tobe was tucking her in that is not there.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Did your husband believe in this stuff not?
Speaker 6 (26:20):
I mean yes and no, because this is not anything
new for me, and he's seen things with my dad
if you want to dive into that realm.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
My dad died when I was really young, and the
day after he died was the first time that he
visited me, and like my mom and my sister, you
get like a really strong smell of him, like he
had a signature scent. Of course, it was like polo
and cigarettes, not anything to be envious of, but it's
(26:58):
like a I oh that smell, and the whole room
got like filled with the smell of him, and I
just felt like, oh, it's gonna choke me up, like
love's love. And so my dad always wrote little Love notes,
and they weren't like poems. It was just like a
(27:20):
sticky note that says I love you. We'll find them
all over the house. And like my mom for a
long time would wake up in the morning and go
in the bathroom to get ready and one of these
sticky notes would be sticking to her mirror, which is
just so sweet. But then like other weird things is
every time that I've moved into a new house, I
(27:44):
find his things. So like one time I found a
baby picture of him under the refrigerator in the apartment
I was moving into. You know, baby pictures from the
fifties are not like the greatest quality. So I had
to take it to my grandma and be like, is
this my dad? And she was like, oh, my gosh, yeah,
(28:06):
where did you get cause it was an old, like
original picture.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
And she's like, where did you get this? And I
was like, it was under the refrigerator in my brand
new apartment I just moved into. What isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, And like my mom.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Just moved recently, And as like the moving truck drives away,
my Stepdad's like, oh, they dropped one of their business
cards and he goes to pick it up and it's
my dad's business card. What my dad passed away, like
almost twenty five years ago. Wow, Like why would his
business card be in a completely different town? Like And
(28:49):
you can justify things right by being like maybe it
was in a box and it fell out of a box,
or like maybe I had that baby picture and it's
fell out. But it's weird that, like evere time one
of my family members have moved, the second we move in,
it's like my dad leaves a little calling card to
be like, I'm still with you even if you change
(29:11):
your address. Great, I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
He hasn't figured out, like I feel like that's the
way to deal with It's not spooky. It's like just
a comforting love. I love little messages. I love that,
like a little check in.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
And so I tell my daughters all the time that
I'm going to leave them with a ghost fart like
after I pass, if you're in a room, you either
hear a fart or small a fart. Just know that's
me being like, hey, girls.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Ah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Ross.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I will haunt you one day in the same way.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Oh please don't, but I appreciate that. Do that for
your children. I'll be okay with I'll know in my heart.
I'll know in my heart that you're there. So what's
the status currently of your house? Like, is is that
ghost lingering?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's still haunted.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
But just not the room you're in right now. So
somehow David right, he knows not to go in that
room or it wasn't there when he lived, maybe exactly.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
So the we do see a man walk through the
house a lot, but I think his is more of
like a residual spirit because we only see him walking
in the same place, and where he walks to doesn't
really make sense in the current layout of the house.
But when he would have lived in this house, it
(30:48):
would have taken him to a back door, and that
back door would have taken him out to the barn,
and then they had like a store up on the corner,
so that would have taken him like basically to work
for the day. And one time I was actually in
my bedroom and I saw a male like a tall
(31:09):
male figure walk past, and I was like, babe, what
are you doing? Like what where's my husband going? This
is so random? And he responds as like what do
you mean? And I'm like, oh, he's over here, and
this thing just walked like directly past me. I'm like, okay,
that was like middle of the day ghost.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh that wasn't, like that's not supposed to happen.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Right, that wasn't a nighttime ghost.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But you don't think that that's David, right.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I don't know, because the second owners of our house,
that guy died very tragically and suddenly that's before the
house had been remodeled. And then we had a third
person who also ended up in an insane asylum. So
like all the male owners, the first three all had
(32:03):
very tragic endings. So the third owner ended up in
an insane asylum here in town where they recently built
like a development. But nowhere in the development is a graveyard.
So where are all the bodies for the people who
died in the asylum. I don't know, So it could
(32:23):
be him, but I think that the main ghost who's
like very affectionate, who whispered David in my ear, I
think it's the original owner's wife. Oh and the room
that she tends to be in the most is what
used to be the master bedroom, and it's the one
(32:45):
that has all like the pretty decorative trim like it's
a very feminine space, and she seems to move around
and interact with us more than the one that just
walks through the house. Okay, but we've also seen like
soccer ball size balls of light, like just massive white
(33:07):
balls of light go through our kitchen before, and I
don't know what that is.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So what.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's so interesting? Also, like when you talk about like
you can smell the fire burning and like the food cooking,
like that to me is like can an oven be
a ghost too? Like I mean though, like h or
is it just the vibe of it is still lingering?
(33:37):
Like I don't know, I don't know exactly what any
of that stuff is, but it's just so it's so weird. Yeah,
but it sounds like you have a full cast of
characters in there.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Oh, I do, both living and dead. Let me talk
for sure, and I will say, like you've been to
haunted places, like you know, well you can feel like
the energy of a space, whether that's like good or bad.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
And I've always felt a positive energy in this house,
like even though it's haunted, it's never felt dangerous.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah. No, it sounds really sweet. Everything's like helpful.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Yeah, Like I feel like we have like a ghost grandma.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, tucking you in, rubbing your back. I think that's wonderful.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah, cooking meals for us that we can't actually eat,
but I'll take.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It absolutely as a thought. That counts. Yes, well, my dear,
I have to go hop on another call. But I
so appreciate you at sending all this in and talking
to me. This is great.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
I will talk to you some other time.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I'll try and not haunt you.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Thanks Brittney. Okay, one more for are Yeah, another person
who lives in a haunted house. This one a little
a little spookier for my taste, I must say. And
I like that kind of a thing. Here's Trish. I
(35:18):
don't believe it. Trish is here? Hi, Trish. Hello, Oh
my god, I'm obsessed with the name Trash. Really, Oh
my god. It's such a good one because it sounds
like Trish like I don't know, it just it rolls
like it rolls off the tongue. It's it's just a
(35:40):
nice sound.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Yeah, it could be you could be playful.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yes, it be a librarian, Trish. Trish, where are you?
I hear you got ghost stories? What's the story?
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Where do we start.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Well, I think the one that's probably most applicable for
your show is something that I had had firsthand experience
with repeatedly and unable to shape. You'd have to sometimes
learn how to coexist with a ghost when they live in.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Your house, right, roommates.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Right, So I believe in this supernatural in terms of
I don't know what's out there, So if you show
me something, Okay, I'm not gonna bug you, you don't
bug me. It's sort of my mantras. And there was
a house I bought many years ago and lived in.
I became aware of this ghost, as we'll call him
(36:39):
pretty quickly. Was in the first twelve hours of taking
possession of the house.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
What and Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:45):
He made himself known as soon as I was alone
in the house, and it was scary, and I called
my mom like a baby, and she came over and
stayed with me my first night.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (36:56):
Well?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
As soon as everybody last from my family who helped
move me in, I walked upstairs. I was putting the
bedroom together with shelves and books and things, and there
was this enormous crash from the downstairs from the first floor.
I rushed down and there was this globe from the
ceiling that had just popped off and shattered over a
still empty living room. And it spooked me, you know,
(37:18):
and I was young and real scared, and I called
my mom and she came over and spent the night.
And from there it was every so often now to
see something out of the corner of your eyes, colors,
you hear things, but nothing that I could really feel
a sense of fear from until one morning, slipping in
my bed and the dogs are in there, and everybody's quiet,
(37:41):
and I lived alone and single at the time, and
I heard this raucous what sounded like from the next
room of the second floor, and then suddenly very heavy
footsteps winden heels or winning shoes that are clipping the
clack footsteps from very far away, coming towards my room.
Now instantly I'm thinking, well, who's in the house? I'm
(38:02):
the only one here. And then shortly thereafter those steps
are from far away. The house is only so big,
and I knew where the house stopped and the backyard began,
and it sounded as if they were coming from the backyard,
but again among the second floor, So that doesn't really
make any sense. The steps continued closer and closer and
closer until they were quite literally right next to me.
(38:25):
My eyes are shut. I'm curled up on a bob,
still in bed, and just freaked out and waited until
the steps came to an abrupt book right next to
my bed. I sat there for another ten seconds, just
praying it away so to seek opened my eyes and
there was nothing there. But it was very impactful and
in my judging in my brain, this distance, thinking, this
(38:47):
distance is too far away, and it stopped right in
front of me, and then just nothing was there. And
I conveyed this to my family and friends, and then
suddenly I started to hear more stories from a friend
or two, mostly my sisters, who would come and well
out of the house, and they kept reporting pinching and
hair pulling and very innocent things that would not necessarily
(39:11):
scare you, except that they could not account for where
they or who they had come from. And so there
became sort of a running joke that the house was
handed and there was a ghost, but it was again,
it was nothing troublesome.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Pinching and hair pulling is troublesome to me, Well, you know,
it would be.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
To me, and it didn't happen to me, but I
had this footsteps. And the other thing that's important about
my particular story there is that I kept hearing this
cooking the clock of the shoes. But at the time
the house was carpeted on the second floor, so I
couldn't account for that either. So I just kind of
made a conscious effort to say, look, if there's something there,
that's fine. I'm just been were going to have to
(39:48):
codgest right. I bought this house at my first house,
and at one point one day I was coming up
the stairs to the second floor. Again, I had a
basket of laundry. I had this overwhelming sensation of there's
something up here. There's something there, and when I get
to the top of the stairs, if I look left,
I'm going to see something. So I stopped, and I paused,
(40:08):
and I just said, out loud, I know you're there.
I also know that if I see you, I'm going
to be scared, and I don't want to be scared,
but please don't. And I said it out loud to
the ether, and then continued up the stairs and walked
into my bedroom on the right, thankfully not on the
left and everything was fine. But I felt at peace
(40:28):
then with myself, and honestly, the ghost, whoever it was,
didn't really bother me after that, and I was definitely
never scared.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
So all this to.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Say, you know, these encounters, the sisters, the friend, my
mother repeatedly asking me why I was yelling for her
across the house when I wasn't in the house. You know,
they hear my name called, I turn around or I
look upstairs, and then the person to come in the
back door didn't like that, and I learned that's like
throwing voices, something a ghost might do.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Did you ever find out who this ghost is?
Speaker 5 (41:00):
I did, unfortunately, Well I'm going to say fortunately I did,
so I had a number of these stories over the years.
It's not too long after that. I moved out of
the house, bought another house, and I used the house
as rental property, and my run in my life was
a little concerned what's going to happen? And I didn't
disclose anything because I don't have to, and I really
(41:20):
wouldn't know what to say other than you know, sometimes
you hear words stuff. But years later, I have a
friend who does a lot of historical research, and she
was very interested in this house. It's a very old house,
it's one hundred and thirty years old. And she did
some research and she came to orc she was my
coworker the next day and she said, well, I think
(41:41):
I figured it out, and she had a death certificate.
She'd done some research online and this is probably fifteen
years ago from now. She'd done some research with the
information she had and she produced the death certificates and
a story about a man who was thirty three who
lived in the house in the sixties with his parents,
and he had hung himself in the back yard in
(42:04):
a shed at the rear of the property was very
descriptive the rear of the property. This thirty three year
old man was found hanging by his mother and the
woman discovered her boy, the thirty three year old man.
The boy and ran into the house to get to
the phone and called the authorities. Ambulance came. He didn't
make it. But the thing that's sack to me was
(42:26):
there's a woman running through the house from the back
of the property, which would be outside again. This woman
and he instantly came to me, there's a woman running
from the backyard right up into my bedroom, which would
have made sense for a woman who had found her
son hanging to then you know, of course run through
the house. And so the man's name was Charlie who died,
(42:51):
and I could sort of relate to that, and I said, okay,
well here's the problem. One of the dogs was named Charlie.
So I'm constantly yelling hey, Charlie, Hi, Charlie, come here, Charlie,
stop to Charlie whatever, which made a lot of sense
in some respects and not in others, but at least
I thought I knew.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Who it was.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
There was a troubled young man who found himself the
back of the property, and then his parents, his mother
had found him.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
I'm just picturing this poor ghost every time you used
to say, charge, oh, Charlie, don't poop there, Charlie, come here, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Yeah, I felt with his mother, because I had a
distinct memory that has to be that kirkety crack woman
coming from It was well beyond the end of the
house if these steps originating, right, So that was frightening,
But all in all, it was not a negative experience.
I had bearing far between reports of anything sinister occurring
with tenants or friends, well whomever. But years later, the
(43:46):
friends who found this information came back to the house
and she started talking to him. She liked the paranomial
and talking to people, and she put her phone up
and started recording and calling for him, and the place
went nuts with but you could only see them through
the screen on her phone. So she holds her phone
up to record she's talking to him. And at the
time of the house was empty and I was turning
(44:08):
it over to a new couple, and the orbs went
nuts when she started calling his name. So we think
he's there. We hope he's happy, and he doesn't bother us,
so you know, if you can go lunch, Charlie go.
But otherwise not a bad guy. And I think his
mother was just very very frightened.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Oh, I'm obsessed with your friend. That's like, I'll figure.
Speaker 5 (44:31):
Out he's great.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
What about the Lamp Mansion a place that I went
to have you spent time there.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
I used to have a lot of lunches there, mostly
with this particular friend. She was a coworker. We worked
downtown near the lamp. They were open at the time
for lunch, great food, very close by. And they would
let you sort of wander around, and we did it
often and I didn't never see anything particularly tru But again,
it's the middle of the day at once, but my
(45:03):
friends get out her phone start talking to people. She
didn't know who. You know, there's a bunch of people
that have died there. He has ever read any of
the books. It's a very troubled family, the theory of
mostly suicide and alcoholism and some violence. But it's you know,
lots and lots of stories there. But she again opened
her phone one day. It may just be Jill. She
(45:24):
just made me to come to it. I don't know.
She was just filming us walking around the place and waving.
And the next day she came back to work and said, well,
I looked at the video and there's a whole bunch
of things flying around the video right in front of us.
And she was intrigued enough to send it to the
Paranormal Society of Saint Louis and they put it up
on her website, which I didn't really know what to
(45:46):
do about. But yeah, lots of didn't gone video there
all because my friend she didn't have any girls in
her house.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
That's the place that I was at, and I believe
that I saw a little like I'm gonna say, a
small man. I don't know. I was sleep deprived. It
was dark, but I like saw in the darkness like
this dark figure. The only way I've been able to
(46:14):
describe it is it looked like I had to go
to the bathroom and it was just like like like
waddling past my eyeline. I was at the bottom of
the main staircase looking up and it was on the
first floor, and I just saw it go across my
eye line upstairs. Did it go up the stairs, No,
(46:35):
it was already up there. It just went from like
from left to right as I was looking up the stairs.
Speaker 7 (46:41):
Okay, we were at the if you're at the spot,
we were at the landing on those stairs talking to Joe,
and she showed us right there and that at the
spot or something very clearly white and fast and sort
of smoking looking flew up the stairs and passed us
right in that spot. Yeah, I can send you the video.
Speaker 5 (47:03):
Maybe you could identify I couldn't identify anyone, but there
was something definitely there and it was not part of
the lighting, more people or anything else. Sort of floating vibes.
It was specific enough that they looked into it and said, yeah,
we've seen that before.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Oh yeah, well, Trish, I'm so sorry. I gotta go
talk to somebody else now, but I so appreciate you
sharing this. Of course, I will talk to you some
other time, and you look out for any pinching or
hair polling or anything like that. You let me know
if anything happens.
