Still basking in the glow of reaching the 10-episode milestone, Therésa goes full boomer when she downloads malware to her computer.
While IT works to install a new firewall, which is a lot more literal in purgatory, we meet Ashley. She and her family were forced to leave their cute little duplex after discovering something dark lurking within it. Kayla was working late on a class project when she was interrupted by some unhelpful study buddies.

Therésa (00:22):
Hello, my undead heads, and welcome back to another episode
of Haunting. I'm your ghost host Therésa, and we've got
two deliciously unsettling stories for you today. But before we
get into that, we got a lot of love after
our tenth episode Milestone, So let's open some fan emails.
Our first letter reads, Dear Therésa, I love you so
(00:44):
much and would do anything for you. Oh I love
you too. Please send me a pair of your used socks.
You're too sweet. If only I still had feet. Let's
see what else? Ooh Len, this one's for you. Len, how
do you spend your free time when you're not in studio?
Len (01:03):
(MUMBLES)
Therésa (01:07):
Uh wow, and you have a special harness for that,
I assume.
Len (01:13):
(MUMBLES)
Therésa (01:15):
Huh? You learn something new every day. Oh? What's this?
Someone special has sent you a ghoulish gift. Click here
to claim. If it's the Concord Beauty Lipstick and Blush
combo palette from my wish list, I'm gonna die, well again. No, shoot, no,
it's it's downloading something. Oh no, no, no, no, stop stop,
(01:39):
shit stop stop. Okay, well you know, I'm sure it's fine.
What was that? Len, what's happening? Wait? What? we're getting trolled? Like, like literally?
Len (01:55):
(MUMBLES)
Therésa (02:00):
Who is spamming us, you guys? not cool. Gross. How do these
trolls move so fast? No, no get out of here.
Drop it, drop it, drop it. Namoi little help here. Throw to our first story.
STORY A (02:19):
In the beginning, everything was great, but it got worse
the longer that we were there. It was weighing on me,
and it was weighing on my husband, and it was scary.
I am Ashley and there was something dark living in
(02:41):
my house. My husband and I moved to Rowlett , Texas.
It is a quiet suburb twenty minutes outside of Dallas,
lakeside community. Cute little duplex, three bedroom, two bath, newly renovated.
(03:07):
In the beginning, everything was great. The neighbors were so
friendly and everything like that. But a couple months after
we moved in, I started noticing strange little things. I
was making coffee one morning, I left the room and
I came back. All of our drawers were open. I'm
(03:32):
the only one in the house besides my daughter. My
husband was on shift so he wasn't there, and she
was eight weeks. Old at the time. She couldn't have
done it. So I thought that's strange, but I just like, Okay,
my scattered self probably opened them. So I just closed
them and just poured my coffee and I left. That
(03:54):
same day, I was meeting a friend and we went
to a softball game. When we came back, the first
thing that we saw as we opened the door was
so strange. Our house is an open floor plan, so
when you walked through the front door, you could see
the kitchen. When we came back from the softball game.
(04:17):
I opened the door and as the door opens, I
look up and every single kitchen cabinet is open at
a precise ninety degree angle. It wasn't like someone just
came in and casually opened these cabinets. It was as
if someone or something intentionally placed each of those cabinets
(04:42):
at that angle. No one was home during that time.
I was the last person to leave that morning. I
just remember my stomach drop. It was a very stark image.
You walk in that door and you see that, especially
(05:02):
since that morning I had that experience with the drawers.
That's when it felt like more things were going to come,
and there was a darker feeling. It was more of
an unsettling feeling. I don't know, how else to describe it except
(05:24):
not safe, not light, not friendly. So that was the
beginning of it. One night, I was laying in bed
and we had these sliding glass doors that looked out
to our backyard where we had this above ground pool.
(05:49):
I saw shadowy figures in the pool, and it was
far enough away and it was dark enough to where
I couldn't tell exactly what it was, but I could
definitely tell it was two figures. So I get up and
I go and pulled back the curtain to look in
(06:10):
the backyard. They looked like people, but they were shadows.
They didn't have eyes or faces, but I could feel
them staring at me. So I wake up my husband.
(06:32):
By the time he got to the window, he's like,
I thought I saw something leave, but he wasn't convinced.
He went out there and he looked and there was
nobody there. There was nobody in the alley, nobody around there,
hiding in the fence or the bushes, and so I
was just thinking, Okay, maybe you were seeing things. Shortly
(06:56):
after that, my daughter was staying in my room with me,
and We had two dogs at the time, and they
would stay in my room as well.
My husband, he's a firefighter, so he'll work twenty four
hour shifts, so he's gone for a full twenty four hours.
So it was just us. in my daughter's room, there
were all these, you know, Fisher Price toys that play music,
(07:19):
and I heard a toy going off in my daughter's room.
I thought it was maybe our dog, but both dogs
are still in my room. There was no voices. It
just was like this melody that would go up high
(07:40):
and cheerful.
And that's what made it even more eerie. I'm walking
through the living room into my daughter's room. As I'm
getting closer, my heart's racing faster the toy. Right, you
shouldn't be scared of a toy, but you can't fight
that feeling. I go into my daughter's room and I
(08:06):
see the toy that's playing the music. The toy is
actually switched off, but it's still playing music. I turn
it on, and I turn it off again, and I
take a deep breath. I set it back down and
(08:28):
I start walking out of the room. It starts playing again.
That moment, I truly felt like I wasn't alone and
there was someone else there. As scared as I was,
(08:51):
I picked it back up, took out the batteries, and
as I'm leaving, it continues to play. So I closed
the door, went back to my room and just sat
there and was terrified all night long, just sitting there waiting,
like knowing that there is something in that room. That
(09:16):
was the first of many instances where those toys would
still go off even if they didn't have batteries on,
even if it was turned off. My daughter always had
a very hard time sleeping in that room. She could
sleep anywhere. She was the easiest baby, but no matter what,
she would just not settle in that room.
(09:42):
She started getting night terrors. It's like screams that you
have never heard before in your life, shocking, blood curling screams.
Then you try to comfort them and they don't recognize
who you are. They're almost scared of you. And she
(10:02):
would get those quite frequently. I can tell you that
that was not normal. One night, my husband and I
were sitting on the couch. We had just turned off
the TV, and we heard from underneath the couch this growl.
(10:25):
It wasn't like an animal growl, was unearthly. We literally
felt the couch shake and vibrate. We sat there for
a moment in silence, he said, did you feel that? Yes.
Did you hear that? And I said yes. My husband
(10:49):
has been a firefighter now for twelve years. He is
not scared of anything. He was extremely scared in that
moment. He's very logical, not dramatic. What you see is what
you get. He can joke things off, but in this situation,
(11:10):
there was no way to laugh it off. It just
was so real. We broke our lease and moved out
a month later. I'm not sure what exactly was in
that house, but I am extremely thankful that we got out.
(11:32):
Six days after we moved out, a tornado came and
unfortunately destroyed a lot of Rowlett. My husband and I
decided that we wanted to see if our neighbors were safe,
see our old house, and we were curious about the
damage and the destruction. When we drove down our old street,
(11:56):
we noticed that our daughter's room was completely gone. It
just was a very dark, dark house and once we
moved and we left that house, a huge weight lifted.
It felt much lighter, sunnier, and life continued on as
(12:20):
it should be.
Therésa (12:41):
So apparently we've got some kind of Ecto malware and
all hell is breaking loose, Right, not literally but maybe
literally who knows anymore. IT is on their way, but
we're glitching. Oh my god, this is so annoying. We're
glitching until they get here.
Glitch (13:00):
You've been preapproved for a new line of credit. Enjoy
flexible rewards tailored to your after lifestyle needs.
Therésa (13:07):
Shut up, gross. Len? There's a good of slime seeping
through the ceiling in here.
Len (13:17):
(MUMBLES)
Therésa (13:18):
Well call IT again. Oh god, what now? My DMs
are blowing up. No, no, oh, this this is too far.
Every single one of my posts has been changed to
the twenty four hour RayBan Anniversary sales scam.
STORY B (13:49):
I started hearing some banging. Sounded like baseball bats and
like hammers and just smashing things. So I'm a little
freaked out, like, Okay, what if it's somebody who's just gonna
kill me or something. What if they're trying to break
through the wall? Hi, I'm Kayla, And this is the
story of when a ghost was doing construction in the
(14:10):
next room. I am an art student, so I spend
a lot of time in the studios. One of the
studios is in a really traditional Victorian ish style building,
but it was one of the more haunted buildings on campus.
(14:31):
It was Friday, and campus is usually dead on Friday,
so it wouldn't be like anyone else would be there.
And I've been there a few times at night and
nothing's happened. But this was different. It is pretty late
at night, maybe like ten o'clock. I am finishing a
(14:55):
painting in the studio when I started hearing some banging.
Earlier that day they had been doing some either renovations
or some sort of work in the part of the
building that's like next door. But like, it's ten o'clock
at night. Everyone should be home by now. It's not
(15:17):
business hours. They're not going to be doing construction that hour.
Why is there banging? So I'm nervous because I knew
no one else was over there. It kind of sounded
like a hammer, but like much more aggressive than you
would hammer. In the nail normally. It's the type of
(15:38):
noise you'd hear in like a rage room. A rage
room is essentially this room that you can go into
with a bunch of things that either people donate or
or for cheap that you just break. You get to
go around with baseball bats and like hammers and just
smash things to let out some rage. That's about the
(16:01):
digression whole, and it was starting to sound like it
was in the same room. So I'm freaking out. I
call my roommate, hoping that she picks up.
I'm Rose Kayla's roommate. I could immediately tell that something
was up. Usually we just text. I mean, she texted
(16:23):
me a few hours before to say that she was
staying late in the studio because she does that, so
it wasn't anything unusual for her to be there that late,
but her calling me when she was there is definitely weird.
She sounded a little scared.
I said, there's some noise happening right now. Can you
(16:44):
come down here and help me clean up and walk
back with me? She's still a little confused.
She put her phone on speaker and was like, can
you hear this?
She says no, but I'll be there soon, because she
was like going out the door when we hung up.
(17:06):
I did not want to go there. It kind of
freaks me out in there honestly. They're old buildings, and
the sink in the painting studio, for whatever reason, it
never turns off, so it's always dripping constantly. It's just
faintly in the background and you can always hear it.
But she was freaked out, so I went to meet her.
(17:33):
While she's on her way over, banging is still happening,
and I'm trying to ignore it, but it's gotten consistent.
Painting calms me down, so my instinct is let's keep painting.
But it's not like I'm making any progress because it's
still jump scaring me.
(18:00):
It's about the fifteen minute walk to get to the
art buildings, but it might have been a bit faster.
It's a bit of a walk, but if she's speed walking,
it can be down in about ten minutes.
I get there and the door to a painting studio
has one of those like electronic swipe systems, but it
doesn't really work.
(18:21):
She knocks on the doors and scares me, like no
man's business. Cause it still happening in the other room, But
now they're staying on the door. I go to the door.
There are little windows. I peek out. My roommate's out there.
I just lurked outside the door ominously waiting for her
to let me in.
(18:42):
As soon as I open the door, the banging completely stops,
as if it was never happening. I'm visibly nervous. She
can see this, so she probably thought it was a
little sleep deprived and like a little crazy as to like,
so why am I here again? I said, but there
was a bunch of noise. It's done now, but I
(19:05):
want to leave. Can you help me clean up?
And she looked very scared. She looked like she'd seen
a ghost.
We cleaned up as fast as we possibly could. With
two people, it takes about two minutes. It was probably
close to five minutes for us to get out there.
(19:27):
She shuts off all the nights, and as soon as
the door closed, she let out this sigh because obviously
she had been freaked out being in there. I think
me being there definitely reassured her, but she wasn't actually calming
down until we were out of the building.
Then we just started our treck home. We didn't talk
about it much right away.
(19:49):
For the most part, she wasn't talking about what had
happened there. She was talking a lot, but it didn't
have anything to do with noises in the painting studio.
I think it was her trying to distract herself.
I didn't hear about any vandalism or damage that happened.
I feel like that would have been pretty well known
(20:09):
within the art students. It would have been like somebody
vandalized the work in the gallery something like that. I'm
ninety eight percent sure that it wasn't somebod else, but
that also makes me ninety eight percent sure that it
was a ghost.
We do know of a ghost that lives there. It's
the ghost of the original first engineer. He's the guy
(20:31):
that worked for the family that owned the estate. He's
the one that designed the building and the boiler that
used to be there. Because of hasty construction, the boiler
ended up blowing up.
He tragically died there.
So his ghost haunts the place.
Now that's where you're gonna find him. Yeah, it was
probably him. I still have class in there, so I'm
(20:54):
back there a lot. I just don't really go in
at night anymore.
Therésa (21:10):
Well, IT finally showed up and took care of things. They're
installing a firewall, which is a lot more literal here.
But I will not rest until I find whoever did this,
and when I do, I will personally see to it
that you go straight to hell and not the fun,
sexy part of hell where it's hot sinners and bottle
service the side for people who don't urn right on

STORY A (02:19):
In the beginning, everything was great, but it got worse
the longer that we were there. It was weighing on me,
and it was weighing on my husband, and it was scary.
I am Ashley and there was something dark living in
(02:41):
my house. My husband and I moved to Rowlett , Texas.
It is a quiet suburb twenty minutes outside of Dallas,
lakeside community. Cute little duplex, three bedroom, two bath, newly renovated.
(03:07):
In the beginning, everything was great. The neighbors were so
friendly and everything like that. But a couple months after
we moved in, I started noticing strange little things. I
was making coffee one morning, I left the room and
I came back. All of our drawers were open. I'm
(03:32):
the only one in the house besides my daughter. My
husband was on shift so he wasn't there, and she
was eight weeks. Old at the time. She couldn't have
done it. So I thought that's strange, but I just like, Okay,
my scattered self probably opened them. So I just closed
them and just poured my coffee and I left. That
(03:54):
same day, I was meeting a friend and we went
to a softball game. When we came back, the first
thing that we saw as we opened the door was
so strange. Our house is an open floor plan, so
when you walked through the front door, you could see
the kitchen. When we came back from the softball game.
(04:17):
I opened the door and as the door opens, I
look up and every single kitchen cabinet is open at
a precise ninety degree angle. It wasn't like someone just
came in and casually opened these cabinets. It was as
if someone or something intentionally placed each of those cabinets
(04:42):
at that angle. No one was home during that time.
I was the last person to leave that morning. I
just remember my stomach drop. It was a very stark image.
You walk in that door and you see that, especially
(05:02):
since that morning I had that experience with the drawers.
That's when it felt like more things were going to come,
and there was a darker feeling. It was more of
an unsettling feeling. I don't know, how else to describe it except
(05:24):
not safe, not light, not friendly. So that was the
beginning of it. One night, I was laying in bed
and we had these sliding glass doors that looked out
to our backyard where we had this above ground pool.
(05:49):
I saw shadowy figures in the pool, and it was
far enough away and it was dark enough to where
I couldn't tell exactly what it was, but I could
definitely tell it was two figures. So I get up and
I go and pulled back the curtain to look in
(06:10):
the backyard. They looked like people, but they were shadows.
They didn't have eyes or faces, but I could feel
them staring at me. So I wake up my husband.
(06:32):
By the time he got to the window, he's like,
I thought I saw something leave, but he wasn't convinced.
He went out there and he looked and there was
nobody there. There was nobody in the alley, nobody around there,
hiding in the fence or the bushes, and so I
was just thinking, Okay, maybe you were seeing things. Shortly
(06:56):
after that, my daughter was staying in my room with me,
and We had two dogs at the time, and they
would stay in my room as well.
My husband, he's a firefighter, so he'll work twenty four
hour shifts, so he's gone for a full twenty four hours.
So it was just us. in my daughter's room, there
were all these, you know, Fisher Price toys that play music,
(07:19):
and I heard a toy going off in my daughter's room.
I thought it was maybe our dog, but both dogs
are still in my room. There was no voices. It
just was like this melody that would go up high
(07:40):
and cheerful.
And that's what made it even more eerie. I'm walking
through the living room into my daughter's room. As I'm
getting closer, my heart's racing faster the toy. Right, you
shouldn't be scared of a toy, but you can't fight
that feeling. I go into my daughter's room and I
(08:06):
see the toy that's playing the music. The toy is
actually switched off, but it's still playing music. I turn
it on, and I turn it off again, and I
take a deep breath. I set it back down and
(08:28):
I start walking out of the room. It starts playing again.
That moment, I truly felt like I wasn't alone and
there was someone else there. As scared as I was,
(08:51):
I picked it back up, took out the batteries, and
as I'm leaving, it continues to play. So I closed
the door, went back to my room and just sat
there and was terrified all night long, just sitting there waiting,
like knowing that there is something in that room. That
(09:16):
was the first of many instances where those toys would
still go off even if they didn't have batteries on,
even if it was turned off. My daughter always had
a very hard time sleeping in that room. She could
sleep anywhere. She was the easiest baby, but no matter what,
she would just not settle in that room.
(09:42):
She started getting night terrors. It's like screams that you
have never heard before in your life, shocking, blood curling screams.
Then you try to comfort them and they don't recognize
who you are. They're almost scared of you. And she
(10:02):
would get those quite frequently. I can tell you that
that was not normal. One night, my husband and I
were sitting on the couch. We had just turned off
the TV, and we heard from underneath the couch this growl.
(10:25):
It wasn't like an animal growl, was unearthly. We literally
felt the couch shake and vibrate. We sat there for
a moment in silence, he said, did you feel that? Yes.
Did you hear that? And I said yes. My husband
(10:49):

not scared of anything. He was extremely scared in that
moment. He's very logical, not dramatic. What you see is what
you get. He can joke things off, but in this situation,
(11:10):
there was no way to laugh it off. It just
was so real. We broke our lease and moved out
a month later. I'm not sure what exactly was in
that house, but I am extremely thankful that we got out.
(11:32):

unfortunately destroyed a lot of Rowlett. My husband and I

It felt much lighter, sunnier, and life continued on as
(12:20):
it should be.

STORY B (13:49):
I started hearing some banging. Sounded like baseball bats and
like hammers and just smashing things. So I'm a little
freaked out, like, Okay, what if it's somebody who's just gonna
kill me or something. What if they're trying to break
through the wall? Hi, I'm Kayla, And this is the
story of when a ghost was doing construction in the

It was Friday, and campus is usually dead on Friday,
so it wouldn't be like anyone else would be there.
And I've been there a few times at night and
nothing's happened. But this was different. It is pretty late
at night, maybe like ten o'clock. I am finishing a
(14:55):
painting in the studio when I started hearing some banging.
Earlier that day they had been doing some either renovations
or some sort of work in the part of the
building that's like next door. But like, it's ten o'clock
at night. Everyone should be home by now. It's not
(15:17):
business hours. They're not going to be doing construction that hour.
Why is there banging? So I'm nervous because I knew
no one else was over there. It kind of sounded
like a hammer, but like much more aggressive than you
would hammer. In the nail normally. It's the type of
(15:38):
noise you'd hear in like a rage room. A rage
room is essentially this room that you can go into
with a bunch of things that either people donate or
or for cheap that you just break. You get to
go around with baseball bats and like hammers and just
smash things to let out some rage. That's about the
(16:01):
digression whole, and it was starting to sound like it
was in the same room. So I'm freaking out. I
call my roommate, hoping that she picks up.
I'm Rose Kayla's roommate. I could immediately tell that something
was up. Usually we just text. I mean, she texted
(16:23):
me a few hours before to say that she was
staying late in the studio because she does that, so
it wasn't anything unusual for her to be there that late,
but her calling me when she was there is definitely weird.
She sounded a little scared.
I said, there's some noise happening right now. Can you
(16:44):
come down here and help me clean up and walk
back with me? She's still a little confused.
She put her phone on speaker and was like, can
you hear this?
She says no, but I'll be there soon, because she
was like going out the door when we hung up.
(17:06):
I did not want to go there. It kind of
freaks me out in there honestly. They're old buildings, and
the sink in the painting studio, for whatever reason, it
never turns off, so it's always dripping constantly. It's just
faintly in the background and you can always hear it.
But she was freaked out, so I went to meet her.
(17:33):
While she's on her way over, banging is still happening,
and I'm trying to ignore it, but it's gotten consistent.
Painting calms me down, so my instinct is let's keep painting.
But it's not like I'm making any progress because it's
still jump scaring me.
(18:00):
It's about the fifteen minute walk to get to the
art buildings, but it might have been a bit faster.
It's a bit of a walk, but if she's speed walking,
it can be down in about ten minutes.
I get there and the door to a painting studio
has one of those like electronic swipe systems, but it
doesn't really work.
(18:21):
She knocks on the doors and scares me, like no
man's business. Cause it still happening in the other room, But
now they're staying on the door. I go to the door.
There are little windows. I peek out. My roommate's out there.
I just lurked outside the door ominously waiting for her
to let me in.
(18:42):
As soon as I open the door, the banging completely stops,
as if it was never happening. I'm visibly nervous. She
can see this, so she probably thought it was a
little sleep deprived and like a little crazy as to like,
so why am I here again? I said, but there
was a bunch of noise. It's done now, but I
(19:05):
want to leave. Can you help me clean up?
And she looked very scared. She looked like she'd seen
a ghost.
We cleaned up as fast as we possibly could. With
two people, it takes about two minutes. It was probably
close to five minutes for us to get out there.
(19:27):
She shuts off all the nights, and as soon as
the door closed, she let out this sigh because obviously
she had been freaked out being in there. I think
me being there definitely reassured her, but she wasn't actually calming
down until we were out of the building.
Then we just started our treck home. We didn't talk
about it much right away.
(19:49):
For the most part, she wasn't talking about what had
happened there. She was talking a lot, but it didn't
have anything to do with noises in the painting studio.
I think it was her trying to distract herself.
I didn't hear about any vandalism or damage that happened.
I feel like that would have been pretty well known
(20:09):
within the art students. It would have been like somebody
vandalized the work in the gallery something like that. I'm
ninety eight percent sure that it wasn't somebod else, but
that also makes me ninety eight percent sure that it
was a ghost.
We do know of a ghost that lives there. It's
the ghost of the original first engineer. He's the guy
(20:31):
that worked for the family that owned the estate. He's
the one that designed the building and the boiler that
used to be there. Because of hasty construction, the boiler
ended up blowing up.
He tragically died there.
So his ghost haunts the place.
Now that's where you're gonna find him. Yeah, it was
probably him. I still have class in there, so I'm
(20:54):
back there a lot. I just don't really go in
at night anymore.
Therésa (21:10):
Well, IT finally showed up and took care of things. They're
installing a firewall, which is a lot more literal here.
But I will not rest until I find whoever did this,
and when I do, I will personally see to it
that you go straight to hell and not the fun,
sexy part of hell where it's hot sinners and bottle
service the side for people who don't urn right on
