THERÉSA (00:19):
Hello, Hauntos, Welcome back Therésa and Len here.
LEN (00:22):
Hello
THERÉSA (00:23):
and we're about to turn our twosome into a threesome.
By that, of course, I mean we're hiring an intern.
Some of you may remember our old intern, Naomi, former
UCLA student turned succubus who crossed over and no one's
heard from her since. Well, Len has been screening resumes
for her replacement, and he's chosen his top three candidates. Now,
(00:44):
it's my turn to make a final selection, and unlike
last time, we're going to be a lot more discerning. Okay,
first resume, so exciting. Who do we have here? Bartholomew
de Fry? Okay.
Education, none. Relevant experience, town crier. Interests, falconry. Dead over
(01:07):
seven hundred years. Okay, Len, this is reading black plague
to me? Did this guy die of the plague? Because
remember I said, no plague. They're freaky to look at
and I don't even know how we'd catch them up
on the culture let alone explained podcast.
LEN (01:22):
[MUMBLES]
THERÉSA (01:27):
I don't care how fast a learner he is. The
boils are gross.
LEN (01:32):
[MUMBLES]
THERÉSA (01:33):
What do you mean he's a distant relative of yours?
Is that why you're pushing this so hard. We're not
nepo hiring your weird uncle or whatever. Let's get into
our first story, and I'm going to pretend like you
didn't sneak that resume into the pile. First up, today
we'll hear from Lenzy and her husband Michael, a real
fix it couple who did all of their own home renovations.
(01:54):
Only it's a lot easier to rip out old flooring
than it is to rip out old souls. I'm assuming I'm more
of an ideas person when it comes to that kind
of thing.
STORY A (02:09):
All of a sudden, out of my peripheral I see
something walk from out of our bathroom into our living room.
In his quick stride across the door, I can see
his hands move and his fingers were long, like not human.
(02:32):
I'm Lenzy, and I was dealing with something in my
old house. In 2018, I reconnected with a friend from
high school who knew somebody who had an older house
that he was trying to rent out. But it was
just beat up, and it needed new plumbing and a
(02:55):
new kitchen and just the whole works. And as long
as we fixed it up, we could rent it for
five hundred dollars a month. The house was a steal
and getting my hands a little dirty along the way
and learning some craftsman skills seem like a good thing.
My husband and I moved in. The first time we
(03:23):
pulled up to the house, the outside looked mangled. The
bushes were overgrown. You could just tell it hadn't been
occupied in a while. It was a pale blue color
with white shutters, and it had a big brick porch
at the very front. When you walked in, it would
(03:49):
open to a big living room. From there, down the
hallway it would go to a kitchen which was completely destructed.
The flooring could not hold any weight, so we ended
up having to fix the flooring add new plumbing. But
(04:09):
once we put paint on it, it worked for us
and we're happy and we made it work. In Cottageville,
South Carolina, there are stories of a lot of unexplained activity.
For example, back in 2013, the town hall caught fire.
(04:37):
It was kind of mysterious. Nobody really knows how the
fire started. They think it was maybe old electrical. As
you're standing outside, huge flames, ginormous flames, and there are
pictures that were circulated of what looks like the devil
(04:58):
coming out of the flames. There are stories of a
little girl in the old police department. The old police
department was originally an elementary school, and there's stories of
a little girl in a white dress with red eyes,
(05:20):
and she would chase you up and down the hallways. Jeffrey,
the chief of police, and one of his officers ended
up shooting at this entity and there were bullet holes
in the brick from where they were shooting at it.
So yeah, there is a lot of unexplained activity around Cottageville.
(05:46):
My husband, Michael, is a police officer. He was working night shift,
so I was alone a lot.
The older seasoned guys they got day shifts, so they
put the young guys on night shift. We do like
switch shifts, so every eight weeks we're on days, eight
weeks we're on nights. Night shift definitely sucks.
(06:07):
I was very lonely, so we adopted a golden retriever
and named him Parker. We would spend absolutely every day together.
Having Parker there made the late nights and my husband
being gone a lot feel much more comfortable, and I
felt much safer knowing that Parker was close by. One night,
(06:31):
I am lying in the bed and I noticed Parker
standing in our doorway to our bedroom, staring up at
the ceiling, and he is moving his head in a
way that would suggest he's watching something crawl across our ceiling.
I look up, there's nothing there. This freaked me out.
(06:56):
I immediately told him to get in the bed with
me and to stop doing that. A little while later, he's
doing it again. He's staring up at the ceiling, watching
something moving with his eyes, and then he just lays
his head down and he'll look up again, like one
(07:17):
more time, we'll watch it, and then he just lays
back down. Immediately, you go to the logical explanation of
there's a bug or dust, but there was nothing there.
And I didn't know how to explain it at that time,
and I don't think I know how to explain it now.
(07:39):
That was kind of the first thing, was Parker seeing something.
Then it progressed to one night, my husband just got
home from a long night shift and we're lying in
the bed getting comfortable, and I start hearing what sounds
(08:03):
like the kitchen sink turning on and turning off, and
then it would turn on and then it would turn off.
I nudged my husband, ask him if he's hearing what
I'm hearing.
I hear what sounded like the faucet turning on and off,
like the water hitting the metal sink. I'm like, there's
(08:24):
no way. It goes on for like twenty minutes.
It wasn't the bathroom. You could tell the difference of
the sounds. So if it had been in the bathroom,
it would have been to the right of us and
much closer, whereas this one was to the left of
us and much further away. We get up and we
(08:47):
head to the kitchen, flip on the kitchen light. We look.
I wipe my hand across the sink. It was bone dry.
There was no water leaking or anything like that. I
actually checked the faucet make sure it was all the
way off, stayed there and watched no drips, no nothing.
(09:10):
That was kind of creepy.
I looked at my husband. That was the sink, right?
He says, yes, he heard it as well.
It's an old house, you know, it could be a leak,
but there's no water on the floor. I even checked
underneath the sink. Nothing. It was just completely dry and I
was like, wow, that is unexplainable.
(09:34):
We both just kind of shrug our shoulders and go
get back in the bed. At that point, we didn't
think it was anything paranormal, just weird pipes. The next night,
my husband again is working night shift. It was just me.
I'm lying in the bed and I'm hearing with like
(10:00):
furniture being moved around in the living room or being
shoved up against the wall. It goes on for maybe
ten minutes. I'm thinking somebody is breaking into our home
and they are ransacking our living room. So I'm lying
(10:24):
there contemplating how I'm going to defend myself, feeling completely
trapped and terrified, until I don't hear it anymore. I
get up and I go and I look. I walked
into the kitchen, walked into the spare room. Nothing has changed,
(10:55):
nothing has been moved. It's completely normal, as if nothing
had ever happened. I checked the back door. Nobody had
been in the house beside me. I went back to bed,
(11:15):
trying to go to sleep, watching TV, and out of
my peripheral vision, I see what looks like somebody walk
across our bedroom into the bathroom. It was an extremely
tall figure. I noticed his hands and his fingers were
(11:37):
extremely long, longer than any human. They are nearly down
to his knees, and it was darker than dark, pitch black,
as if a shadow had a shadow. It walks into
the bathroom and about five seconds later, it turns around
(12:01):
and it walks back towards the living room. This entity
paces back and forth through our hallway. I was terrified
and frozen at the same time. Didn't want to move
in case it would look over at me, so I
tried to stay as still as possible as to not
(12:22):
draw attention. Once a couple of minutes had passed, I
didn't see anything, no movement. And when I don't see
him anymore, I take my opportunity to get Parker and
myself out. I am freaked out. I call my husband
(12:42):
hysterical about there's somebody in the house and when I looked,
I can't find them, and I don't feel safe in
the house.
I'm like, Lenzy, pack your stuff, get what you need
for tonight, go to your mom's.
So I chose to drive the hour away to my mom's,
where at least I knew I was safe. I stayed
(13:04):
at my mom's for three to four days until I
finally got the courage to come back to the house.
The next night, my husband got home. We're lying in
the bed. I'm trying to go to sleep, but I'm
not asleep yet. All of a sudden, I hear police
sirens going off. So my eyes just kind of open
(13:27):
and they go towards the window and I see something
by my side of the bed. It's extremely dark, very tall,
very long fingers standing over me, leaning down, watching me sleep.
(13:51):
But this time I can see more of it. It
has no face, no nose, there was nothing. It was
just complete black, complete darkness. I throw myself across my
(14:11):
husband to the other side of the room.
She just flails over me, screaming, hollering in full on
panic mode. I'm like, what is going on?
My husband sees me pointing. This thing is trying to
get me, and I know it's only after me.
(14:34):
I'm not believing what I'm seeing. I'm seeing this tall,
dark figure. The whole silhouette is black. At this point,
It's like, what is that?
He was able to see it standing there.
He's got like a coat and his fingers were very long,
(14:56):
I would say about ten to twelve inches long, all
kind of feelings come across. I get like a dull,
disgusting feeling. You feel like very, very depressed.
And it just kind of dissipated into the floor. It
didn't melt, it just evaporated.
At that point, I was worried about me and Lenzy.
(15:20):
I was worried that this thing was going to harm us.
This thing is already bold enough to be in our
room while we're sleeping. Who knows what else is capable of.
He immediately was on the phone calling family, anybody that
he knew that would have a Bible or anything religious
that we could bring into the house to hopefully help
(15:42):
stop what we're seeing.
I called my grandparents. They have all kinds of bibles,
family big Bibles, little travel-sized bibles, regular bibles. We got
a whole box of bibles.
We put one in our room, in our living room, one
in the kitchen.
On top of the refrigerator, under the sink. We kept
(16:02):
them all over the place. And we started praying, Dear Heavenly Father,
please look over us. Let Lenzy know that you're there.
Any evil forces wash them away, Lord. I'll actually recite verses
in the Bible where it talks about God is always
with us.
When we first started placing the bibles, it felt like
(16:27):
nothing was going to work, and this was just going
to be the new normal, just being terrified every night.
I continue to pray that it would work. It took
a couple of days but a toxic kind of fog
in the house dissipated and it just went away.
(16:49):
I don't know what it was, but I know it
was pure evil.
From then on, we never had another experience. I have
not seen or heard or felt anything else.
THERÉSA (17:09):
This is an approach I haven't seen before. Shove bibles
all over your home. I like it. Paranormal mothballs, whatever works, right?
Let's take a quick break and then we'll dive into
the rest of our resume stack.
(17:29):
Okay, let's see... who's next in our list of potential interns?
Ron Platts seems like he died in this century with
no visible bumps, breaks, or bleeds. That's a good start.
He's got a dual degree in audio production and business management. Okay.
His interests are chess and rice grain carvings. Len, I'm
(17:52):
starting to regret having you screen applications. We have to
spend all eternity with this person. Next, Oh, a video
submission now we're talking.
KENZIE (18:02):
Hey Haunting team! Kenzie, here! I'm a spooky spitfire who
kicked the can the way all hotties do. Stomach problems.
But I didn't let a little E.Coli keep me down. I'm
a mover and shaker here in the afterlife, and I'm
looking for my next opportunity with you.
THERÉSA (18:18):
Ah, Len
KENZIE (18:19):
I know how to work hard and look good doing it.
I'm one smart cookie who excels under pressure and thrives
in a fast paced environment. Heck, if I can survive
Bama Rush, I can survive anything except E. Coli. When
the going gets tough, the tough called Kenzie. Thank you
for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
THERÉSA (18:43):
Wow. Did you see her diamond nameplate necklace, the wide
leg suede boots. That is what this team needs. We're
making an offer, but before we do, we've got our
next story on deck, and in this one, we have
another babysitter thrown to the wolves. If you're hiring someone
to work in a haunted house, you have to warn
(19:04):
them guys. I get it. It makes finding people hard,
but it's only fair.
STORY B (19:12):
I was working in a very small town in Louisiana
as a nanny, and every Wednesday something would end up
happening in the house, something paranormal, and I was just scared.
I am thinking that I probably need to mention to
the family that I am feeling uncomfortable, but knowing that
(19:33):
this family is very religious, I was hesitant to talk
to them. I thought they would think I was a lunatic,
so I really didn't have anyone to confide in about
my experiences. My name is Amanda and I was haunted
at work for six months. It is 2013. I was
(19:56):
a single mom of a five year old living in
a very small town in northern Louisiana. Being a very
small town, there were very few job opportunities. I have
a passion for children, and I found a nanny recruiting
agency online. They had posted that they needed a full-time nanny,
(20:20):
so I applied directly through the website. Got an interview setup,
and that is how I met Dana and Tom.
They needed a full time nanny for their two children,
Josie and Jackie. Josie was a newborn and Jackie was
three at the time. When I pulled into the driveway
(20:44):
for my first interview, I was blown away by how
beautiful this home was and how large it was. It
was a two story white plantation home with black shutters.
It's an old house. It was built in 1923. Typical
of northern Louisiana, it had an all wooden wrap around
(21:05):
porch and two porch swings. When I first walked in
and was greeted by Dana and Tom, they were just
like an extremely welcoming family. The first thing I noticed
was all of the original hardwood floor. The entire home
had all original hardwood floor. It had huge crown molding
(21:26):
around it. The interview process was interesting. Dana and Tom
were both very friendly, but they took the safety of
their children very seriously, so there was a lot of
questions on in this situation, how would you handle it?
In case of an emergency, what are your steps? And
(21:47):
then the last question that they asked me in the
interview was if I believed in God. Being in you know,
northern Louisiana where it is the Bible Belt, it was
not an uncommon question to be asked. I said yes
to the question. All they said was good and then
(22:07):
they offered me the job and I accepted.
On my first day, Dana and Tom had guidelines and
expectations for me taking care of Josie and Jackie. I
was allowed to go in the kitchen to prepare the
bottles and the meals for the children. I was able
to utilize the restroom, and I was able to be
(22:30):
in the front room, which was their living room. But
they told me that we could not go upstairs, so
I thought that was strange. A normal day started at
eight am. I would enter the home. The children were
usually asleep, so I would just sit until they woke up.
(22:50):
I would change their diapers, get them breakfast started. They
had a large Great Dane who I let out every
morning when I got there, but other than that, it
was strictly Josie and Jackie. The first week went fantastic.
We're getting a good routine down. The second week that
(23:13):
I was there, it was on a Wednesday. I was
rocking Josie, feeding her a bottle, and Jackie asked me
if we could go upstairs and play. That was something
that she asked me every day. Because I was feeding
Josie a bottle. I said, let me finish feeding Josie,
(23:35):
find an activity to do in the meantime, and we
will go upstairs when we're finished. A few minutes have
passed and I hear her run up the stairs. Then,
I could hear running above me going down the hallway.
I was immediately frustrated because I had told Jackie not
to go upstairs and that she would have to wait
(23:55):
until I was done feeding Josie. I think Jackie went
upstairs because she wanted to get a toy that was upstairs.
She was being a typical toddler, being defiant and going
to do what she wanted to do. And I think
that she was running because she knew that she was
not supposed to be upstairs. So I walked over to
the foot of the stairs and I could still hear
(24:18):
her running, and I yelled Jackie! Come downstairs! As soon
as I yelled for her to come down, the running stopped.
I waited for her to come down the stairs, thinking
that she was in trouble, but I heard nothing, and
(24:43):
then right behind me, I hear Jackie say, I'm right here.
If it wasn't Jackie upstairs, who was it? I did
not want to be in the home anymore. I really
just was freaked out. So I grabbed the girls and
(25:05):
we went outside and played until lunchtime. When I had
to reenter the home to make lunch for Jackie, I
was very uneasy being in the home. The scariest part
was I had to pass the stairwell to enter the kitchen.
But the rest of the afternoon went completely normal, with
(25:26):
no other noises in the home. But I had this
gut feeling that this was not a isolated incident, that
this was going to continue. So fast forward a week.
It is a Wednesday. I'm sitting on the couch feeding Josie,
and something in the hallway keeps catching my eye. When
(25:49):
I finally decided to look, I saw a huge black
mass working its way down the wall in the hallway.
It wasn't a person, it was a huge shadow going
down the wall. I watched this shadow slowly move across
(26:13):
the wall and enter a hallway closet. When it entered
the closet, I heard an audible growl. It wasn't extremely loud,
but loud enough for me to know that it was
a growl. It was almost like a [growl]. I had never
heard a growl before from something unknown. The family did
(26:33):
have a dog. They had a huge Great Dane, but
she was sitting right next to me and made no
noise whatsoever. I don't remember the dog reacting to this
at all. My mind immediately knew it was something unexplainable.
I got the worst feeling in my chest and the
(26:53):
pit of my stomach, like just something bad about to happen.
So I quickly grabbed Josie, grabbed Jackie and got the
heck out. The feeling that I had inside, the growl,
the blackness. There was no way that that was something
positive that was not going to harm me or the girls.
As soon as the girls and I got outside, we
(27:15):
got some fresh air and time away from the house.
I immediately felt better. My feeling of dread went away,
but I still did not want to go back in
that house. The girls and I stayed outside until Dana
got home around four pm. As soon as Dana got home,
(27:36):
she asked how our day was. I lied to her.
I said the day was great. I gathered my things
and I left. I was afraid that if I told
her the truth, I would lose my job, because it's
just something you don't hear about often. You know, this
stranger has been in your home taking care of your
two small children for two weeks, and they come to
(27:56):
you telling you that they saw a dark shadow and
a growl in the hallway. Like I thought they would
think I was a lunatic. There was no explanation for
this one. I go back the next day and I
was definitely on guard. I was still very on edge,
but nothing happened again until the following Wednesday.
(28:22):
It was a normal day, hot and humid in Louisiana.
At two o'clock, I had to leave with the girls
to pick up my son from school. I am in
my car getting ready to leave, and I had the
kids in the car with me. I get a text
from my mom asking for a photo of the house
because I had talked about how beautiful this plantation home was.
(28:44):
So I pulled out my phone snapped a quick picture
of the house. I sent it to my mom and
put my phone away and carried on going to pick
up my son from school. When I returned, we got
everybody unloaded out of the car, got inside. I checked
my phone and I had a text from my mom
saying how beautiful the house was, but asked who was
(29:07):
in the house? And I'm thinking, what are you talking about?
No one is in the house. So I went back
to the gallery on my phone, opened it up and
immediately started zooming in on all of the windows in
the home. I zoom in on all the bottom floor windows,
don't see anything. I move up to the top level
(29:31):
and on the last window on the top right, I
see a full black figure standing in this window. There
is a legit person standing in this window. I mean,
I was just snapping a quick picture. How did I
catch that? You know? Seeing the shadow made me feel
(29:54):
like my experiences were truly explainable now, like this is
something real, This is something paranormal, and I have proof
of it. At this point, I'm freaked out. This house
is very, very haunted. I am thinking that I probably
need to mention to the family my experiences and that
(30:16):
I am feeling uncomfortable in the house. So I asked
the mom if she had experienced anything in the home before,
and she said yes, which surprised me. She told me
that one night she was getting up to feed Josie
and the front door and the back door were completely open.
(30:38):
She said that, you know, maybe it was the wind,
but deep down inside, based on my experiences, I am
just assuming that this is a paranormal experience. She also
mentioned that they would hear someone walking or running up
in the hallway above the living room. And then they
said that they would hear doors slamming upstairs when no
one was home. And I had told her that I
(30:59):
didn't experience the doors opening or closing by themselves, but
I had experienced hearing the footsteps running upstairs. I just
wanted her to know about my experiences that I wasn't quitting.
I just wanted to be, you know, transparent with her.
She respected that and we just kind of moved on
from it. So I worked with this family for about
(31:21):
six months and every Wednesday something would end up happening. Not
as big as the first three experiences, but something unexplainable
would happen. I think it was trying to grab my attention,
Hey I'm here, just trying to show me what it
was capable of.
After it got my attention and I knew it was there,
(31:41):
it just no longer needed to do something big, you know.
And I thought it was very strange that my experiences
only occurred on Wednesdays. Because of my experiences that happened
in this house, I am now a paranormal investigator. I
now have a passion for trying to find out why
the paranormal happens, what causes hauntings, and I try to
(32:02):
help people who are experiencing what I experienced. I would
love to go back in the house and actually investigate
it with the knowledge that I have now and the
tools that I have, I would love to go back
in that house. I don't think that paranormal activity will
ever stop there.
THERÉSA (32:20):
Okay, it's not too often we ghosts inspire. We're really
jump starting careers over here on Haunting. Speaking of which,
we're taking a little break before we call Kenzie and
give her the good news.
KENZIE (32:45):
Hello?
LEN (32:46):
[MUMBLES]
KENZIE (32:49):
Hello?
LEN (32:50):
[MUMBLES]
KENZIE (32:54):
Sorry, it's really hard to hear.
THERÉSA (32:55):
Just give it to me, Len. Hey girl hey! Is
this Kenzie?
KENZIE (32:59):
This is.
THERÉSA (33:00):
It's Therésa and I'm about to rock your underworld.
KENZIE (33:04):
Oh no, thank you! Just please take me off this list.
THERÉSA (33:08):
Wait wait, wait, wait, you applied for an internship with us.
It's Therésa!
KENZIE (33:11):
Oh! From the Supernatural Pet Rescue.
THERÉSA (33:15):
No, it's
KENZIE (33:15):
The Wrongful Death paralegal position.
THERÉSA (33:18):
No, it's actually the one where.
KENZIE (33:20):
Wait you're not calling from Netflix, are you?
THERÉSA (33:22):
No, no. No from Haunting, Purgatory's top podcast where we
share totally true supernatural stories from the Great Beyond.
KENZIE (33:29):
Oh right.
THERÉSA (33:31):
Well we have good news. You got the job, miss girl, woo!
KENZIE (33:37):
Awesome. Thank you so much. Why don't you send over
an offer and I'll take some time to think about it.
THERÉSA (33:44):
Oh yeah, sure, take time to think about it.
KENZIE (33:47):
Just like include like a rate, PTO, benefits, proposed schedule.
I'll need Fridays off because that's when I haunt my
friend's ski house. You know, general role trajectory. What else?
THERÉSA (34:00):
Haha? Okay, yeah.
KENZIE (34:01):
But yeah, thanks so much for calling babe. Kisses!
THERÉSA (34:06):
Kisses. Are you kidding me? Absolutely not? That was insane, Len,
am I crazy?
LEN (34:15):
Rude.
THERÉSA (34:16):
So rude, right? Okay, obviously cut that entire part. We'll
figure out something else to put here in post. Let's
just jump right to the closer. Kenzie was thrilled to
get the offer, but turns out we actually don't need
an intern anymore. Things change by the minute here at Haunting. Sorry,
girl! But keep working hard and one day you might be
sitting in my chair. Well, that's all we've got. As always,
(34:40):
if you've got a spooky story to share, email Len
at HauntingThePodcast@gmail.com and you could be featured on an upcoming episode.
See you next time. Sorry, I'm still reeling. No one
in my life has ever talked to me like that.
I need to lie down.

Hello, Hauntos, Welcome back Therésa and Len here.
LEN (00:22):
Hello
THERÉSA (00:23):
and we're about to turn our twosome into a threesome.
By that, of course, I mean we're hiring an intern.
Some of you may remember our old intern, Naomi, former
UCLA student turned succubus who crossed over and no one's
heard from her since. Well, Len has been screening resumes
for her replacement, and he's chosen his top three candidates. Now,
(00:44):
it's my turn to make a final selection, and unlike
last time, we're going to be a lot more discerning. Okay,
first resume, so exciting. Who do we have here? Bartholomew
de Fry? Okay.
Education, none. Relevant experience, town crier. Interests, falconry. Dead over
(01:07):
seven hundred years. Okay, Len, this is reading black plague
to me? Did this guy die of the plague? Because
remember I said, no plague. They're freaky to look at
and I don't even know how we'd catch them up
on the culture let alone explained podcast.
LEN (01:22):
[MUMBLES]
THERÉSA (01:27):
I don't care how fast a learner he is. The
boils are gross.
LEN (01:32):
[MUMBLES]
THERÉSA (01:33):
What do you mean he's a distant relative of yours?
Is that why you're pushing this so hard. We're not
nepo hiring your weird uncle or whatever. Let's get into
our first story, and I'm going to pretend like you
didn't sneak that resume into the pile. First up, today
we'll hear from Lenzy and her husband Michael, a real
fix it couple who did all of their own home renovations.
(01:54):
Only it's a lot easier to rip out old flooring
than it is to rip out old souls. I'm assuming I'm more
of an ideas person when it comes to that kind
of thing.
STORY A (02:09):
All of a sudden, out of my peripheral I see
something walk from out of our bathroom into our living room.
In his quick stride across the door, I can see
his hands move and his fingers were long, like not human.
(02:32):
I'm Lenzy, and I was dealing with something in my
old house. In 2018, I reconnected with a friend from
high school who knew somebody who had an older house
that he was trying to rent out. But it was
just beat up, and it needed new plumbing and a
(02:55):
new kitchen and just the whole works. And as long
as we fixed it up, we could rent it for
five hundred dollars a month. The house was a steal
and getting my hands a little dirty along the way
and learning some craftsman skills seem like a good thing.
My husband and I moved in. The first time we
(03:23):
pulled up to the house, the outside looked mangled. The
bushes were overgrown. You could just tell it hadn't been
occupied in a while. It was a pale blue color
with white shutters, and it had a big brick porch
at the very front. When you walked in, it would
(03:49):
open to a big living room. From there, down the
hallway it would go to a kitchen which was completely destructed.
The flooring could not hold any weight, so we ended
up having to fix the flooring add new plumbing. But
(04:09):
once we put paint on it, it worked for us
and we're happy and we made it work. In Cottageville,
South Carolina, there are stories of a lot of unexplained activity.
For example, back in 2013, the town hall caught fire.
(04:37):
It was kind of mysterious. Nobody really knows how the
fire started. They think it was maybe old electrical. As
you're standing outside, huge flames, ginormous flames, and there are
pictures that were circulated of what looks like the devil
(04:58):
coming out of the flames. There are stories of a
little girl in the old police department. The old police
department was originally an elementary school, and there's stories of
a little girl in a white dress with red eyes,
(05:20):
and she would chase you up and down the hallways. Jeffrey,
the chief of police, and one of his officers ended
up shooting at this entity and there were bullet holes
in the brick from where they were shooting at it.
So yeah, there is a lot of unexplained activity around Cottageville.
(05:46):
My husband, Michael, is a police officer. He was working night shift,
so I was alone a lot.
The older seasoned guys they got day shifts, so they
put the young guys on night shift. We do like
switch shifts, so every eight weeks we're on days, eight
weeks we're on nights. Night shift definitely sucks.
(06:07):
I was very lonely, so we adopted a golden retriever
and named him Parker. We would spend absolutely every day together.
Having Parker there made the late nights and my husband
being gone a lot feel much more comfortable, and I
felt much safer knowing that Parker was close by. One night,
(06:31):
I am lying in the bed and I noticed Parker
standing in our doorway to our bedroom, staring up at
the ceiling, and he is moving his head in a
way that would suggest he's watching something crawl across our ceiling.
I look up, there's nothing there. This freaked me out.
(06:56):
I immediately told him to get in the bed with
me and to stop doing that. A little while later, he's
doing it again. He's staring up at the ceiling, watching
something moving with his eyes, and then he just lays
his head down and he'll look up again, like one
(07:17):
more time, we'll watch it, and then he just lays
back down. Immediately, you go to the logical explanation of
there's a bug or dust, but there was nothing there.
And I didn't know how to explain it at that time,
and I don't think I know how to explain it now.
(07:39):
That was kind of the first thing, was Parker seeing something.
Then it progressed to one night, my husband just got
home from a long night shift and we're lying in
the bed getting comfortable, and I start hearing what sounds
(08:03):
like the kitchen sink turning on and turning off, and
then it would turn on and then it would turn off.
I nudged my husband, ask him if he's hearing what
I'm hearing.
I hear what sounded like the faucet turning on and off,
like the water hitting the metal sink. I'm like, there's
(08:24):
no way. It goes on for like twenty minutes.
It wasn't the bathroom. You could tell the difference of
the sounds. So if it had been in the bathroom,
it would have been to the right of us and
much closer, whereas this one was to the left of
us and much further away. We get up and we
(08:47):
head to the kitchen, flip on the kitchen light. We look.
I wipe my hand across the sink. It was bone dry.
There was no water leaking or anything like that. I
actually checked the faucet make sure it was all the
way off, stayed there and watched no drips, no nothing.
(09:10):
That was kind of creepy.
I looked at my husband. That was the sink, right?
He says, yes, he heard it as well.
It's an old house, you know, it could be a leak,
but there's no water on the floor. I even checked
underneath the sink. Nothing. It was just completely dry and I
was like, wow, that is unexplainable.
(09:34):
We both just kind of shrug our shoulders and go
get back in the bed. At that point, we didn't
think it was anything paranormal, just weird pipes. The next night,
my husband again is working night shift. It was just me.
I'm lying in the bed and I'm hearing with like
(10:00):
furniture being moved around in the living room or being
shoved up against the wall. It goes on for maybe
ten minutes. I'm thinking somebody is breaking into our home
and they are ransacking our living room. So I'm lying
(10:24):
there contemplating how I'm going to defend myself, feeling completely
trapped and terrified, until I don't hear it anymore. I
get up and I go and I look. I walked
into the kitchen, walked into the spare room. Nothing has changed,
(10:55):
nothing has been moved. It's completely normal, as if nothing
had ever happened. I checked the back door. Nobody had
been in the house beside me. I went back to bed,
(11:15):
trying to go to sleep, watching TV, and out of
my peripheral vision, I see what looks like somebody walk
across our bedroom into the bathroom. It was an extremely
tall figure. I noticed his hands and his fingers were
(11:37):
extremely long, longer than any human. They are nearly down
to his knees, and it was darker than dark, pitch black,
as if a shadow had a shadow. It walks into
the bathroom and about five seconds later, it turns around
(12:01):
and it walks back towards the living room. This entity
paces back and forth through our hallway. I was terrified
and frozen at the same time. Didn't want to move
in case it would look over at me, so I
tried to stay as still as possible as to not
(12:22):
draw attention. Once a couple of minutes had passed, I
didn't see anything, no movement. And when I don't see
him anymore, I take my opportunity to get Parker and
myself out. I am freaked out. I call my husband
(12:42):
hysterical about there's somebody in the house and when I looked,
I can't find them, and I don't feel safe in
the house.
I'm like, Lenzy, pack your stuff, get what you need
for tonight, go to your mom's.
So I chose to drive the hour away to my mom's,
where at least I knew I was safe. I stayed
(13:04):
at my mom's for three to four days until I
finally got the courage to come back to the house.
The next night, my husband got home. We're lying in
the bed. I'm trying to go to sleep, but I'm
not asleep yet. All of a sudden, I hear police
sirens going off. So my eyes just kind of open
(13:27):
and they go towards the window and I see something
by my side of the bed. It's extremely dark, very tall,
very long fingers standing over me, leaning down, watching me sleep.
(13:51):
But this time I can see more of it. It
has no face, no nose, there was nothing. It was
just complete black, complete darkness. I throw myself across my
(14:11):
husband to the other side of the room.
She just flails over me, screaming, hollering in full on
panic mode. I'm like, what is going on?
My husband sees me pointing. This thing is trying to
get me, and I know it's only after me.
(14:34):
I'm not believing what I'm seeing. I'm seeing this tall,
dark figure. The whole silhouette is black. At this point,
It's like, what is that?
He was able to see it standing there.
He's got like a coat and his fingers were very long,
(14:56):
I would say about ten to twelve inches long, all
kind of feelings come across. I get like a dull,
disgusting feeling. You feel like very, very depressed.
And it just kind of dissipated into the floor. It
didn't melt, it just evaporated.
At that point, I was worried about me and Lenzy.
(15:20):
I was worried that this thing was going to harm us.
This thing is already bold enough to be in our
room while we're sleeping. Who knows what else is capable of.
He immediately was on the phone calling family, anybody that
he knew that would have a Bible or anything religious
that we could bring into the house to hopefully help
(15:42):
stop what we're seeing.
I called my grandparents. They have all kinds of bibles,
family big Bibles, little travel-sized bibles, regular bibles. We got
a whole box of bibles.
We put one in our room, in our living room, one
in the kitchen.
On top of the refrigerator, under the sink. We kept
(16:02):
them all over the place. And we started praying, Dear Heavenly Father,
please look over us. Let Lenzy know that you're there.
Any evil forces wash them away, Lord. I'll actually recite verses
in the Bible where it talks about God is always
with us.
When we first started placing the bibles, it felt like
(16:27):
nothing was going to work, and this was just going
to be the new normal, just being terrified every night.
I continue to pray that it would work. It took
a couple of days but a toxic kind of fog
in the house dissipated and it just went away.
(16:49):
I don't know what it was, but I know it
was pure evil.
From then on, we never had another experience. I have
not seen or heard or felt anything else.
THERÉSA (17:09):
This is an approach I haven't seen before. Shove bibles
all over your home. I like it. Paranormal mothballs, whatever works, right?
Let's take a quick break and then we'll dive into
the rest of our resume stack.
(17:29):
Okay, let's see... who's next in our list of potential interns?
Ron Platts seems like he died in this century with
no visible bumps, breaks, or bleeds. That's a good start.
He's got a dual degree in audio production and business management. Okay.
His interests are chess and rice grain carvings. Len, I'm
(17:52):
starting to regret having you screen applications. We have to
spend all eternity with this person. Next, Oh, a video
submission now we're talking.
KENZIE (18:02):
Hey Haunting team! Kenzie, here! I'm a spooky spitfire who
kicked the can the way all hotties do. Stomach problems.
But I didn't let a little E.Coli keep me down. I'm
a mover and shaker here in the afterlife, and I'm
looking for my next opportunity with you.
THERÉSA (18:18):
Ah, Len
KENZIE (18:19):
I know how to work hard and look good doing it.
I'm one smart cookie who excels under pressure and thrives
in a fast paced environment. Heck, if I can survive
Bama Rush, I can survive anything except E. Coli. When
the going gets tough, the tough called Kenzie. Thank you
for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
THERÉSA (18:43):
Wow. Did you see her diamond nameplate necklace, the wide
leg suede boots. That is what this team needs. We're
making an offer, but before we do, we've got our
next story on deck, and in this one, we have
another babysitter thrown to the wolves. If you're hiring someone
to work in a haunted house, you have to warn
(19:04):
them guys. I get it. It makes finding people hard,
but it's only fair.
STORY B (19:12):
I was working in a very small town in Louisiana
as a nanny, and every Wednesday something would end up
happening in the house, something paranormal, and I was just scared.
I am thinking that I probably need to mention to
the family that I am feeling uncomfortable, but knowing that
(19:33):
this family is very religious, I was hesitant to talk
to them. I thought they would think I was a lunatic,
so I really didn't have anyone to confide in about
my experiences. My name is Amanda and I was haunted
at work for six months. It is 2013. I was
(19:56):
a single mom of a five year old living in
a very small town in northern Louisiana. Being a very
small town, there were very few job opportunities. I have
a passion for children, and I found a nanny recruiting
agency online. They had posted that they needed a full-time nanny,
(20:20):
so I applied directly through the website. Got an interview setup,
and that is how I met Dana and Tom.
They needed a full time nanny for their two children,
Josie and Jackie. Josie was a newborn and Jackie was
three at the time. When I pulled into the driveway
(20:44):
for my first interview, I was blown away by how
beautiful this home was and how large it was. It
was a two story white plantation home with black shutters.
It's an old house. It was built in 1923. Typical
of northern Louisiana, it had an all wooden wrap around
(21:05):
porch and two porch swings. When I first walked in
and was greeted by Dana and Tom, they were just
like an extremely welcoming family. The first thing I noticed
was all of the original hardwood floor. The entire home
had all original hardwood floor. It had huge crown molding
(21:26):
around it. The interview process was interesting. Dana and Tom
were both very friendly, but they took the safety of
their children very seriously, so there was a lot of
questions on in this situation, how would you handle it?
In case of an emergency, what are your steps? And
(21:47):
then the last question that they asked me in the
interview was if I believed in God. Being in you know,
northern Louisiana where it is the Bible Belt, it was
not an uncommon question to be asked. I said yes
to the question. All they said was good and then
(22:07):
they offered me the job and I accepted.
On my first day, Dana and Tom had guidelines and
expectations for me taking care of Josie and Jackie. I
was allowed to go in the kitchen to prepare the
bottles and the meals for the children. I was able
to utilize the restroom, and I was able to be
(22:30):
in the front room, which was their living room. But
they told me that we could not go upstairs, so
I thought that was strange. A normal day started at
eight am. I would enter the home. The children were
usually asleep, so I would just sit until they woke up.
(22:50):
I would change their diapers, get them breakfast started. They
had a large Great Dane who I let out every
morning when I got there, but other than that, it
was strictly Josie and Jackie. The first week went fantastic.
We're getting a good routine down. The second week that
(23:13):
I was there, it was on a Wednesday. I was
rocking Josie, feeding her a bottle, and Jackie asked me
if we could go upstairs and play. That was something
that she asked me every day. Because I was feeding
Josie a bottle. I said, let me finish feeding Josie,
(23:35):
find an activity to do in the meantime, and we
will go upstairs when we're finished. A few minutes have
passed and I hear her run up the stairs. Then,
I could hear running above me going down the hallway.
I was immediately frustrated because I had told Jackie not
to go upstairs and that she would have to wait
(23:55):
until I was done feeding Josie. I think Jackie went
upstairs because she wanted to get a toy that was upstairs.
She was being a typical toddler, being defiant and going
to do what she wanted to do. And I think
that she was running because she knew that she was
not supposed to be upstairs. So I walked over to
the foot of the stairs and I could still hear
(24:18):
her running, and I yelled Jackie! Come downstairs! As soon
as I yelled for her to come down, the running stopped.
I waited for her to come down the stairs, thinking
that she was in trouble, but I heard nothing, and
(24:43):
then right behind me, I hear Jackie say, I'm right here.
If it wasn't Jackie upstairs, who was it? I did
not want to be in the home anymore. I really
just was freaked out. So I grabbed the girls and
(25:05):
we went outside and played until lunchtime. When I had
to reenter the home to make lunch for Jackie, I
was very uneasy being in the home. The scariest part
was I had to pass the stairwell to enter the kitchen.
But the rest of the afternoon went completely normal, with
(25:26):
no other noises in the home. But I had this
gut feeling that this was not a isolated incident, that
this was going to continue. So fast forward a week.
It is a Wednesday. I'm sitting on the couch feeding Josie,
and something in the hallway keeps catching my eye. When
(25:49):
I finally decided to look, I saw a huge black
mass working its way down the wall in the hallway.
It wasn't a person, it was a huge shadow going
down the wall. I watched this shadow slowly move across
(26:13):
the wall and enter a hallway closet. When it entered
the closet, I heard an audible growl. It wasn't extremely loud,
but loud enough for me to know that it was
a growl. It was almost like a [growl]. I had never
heard a growl before from something unknown. The family did
(26:33):
have a dog. They had a huge Great Dane, but
she was sitting right next to me and made no
noise whatsoever. I don't remember the dog reacting to this
at all. My mind immediately knew it was something unexplainable.
I got the worst feeling in my chest and the
(26:53):
pit of my stomach, like just something bad about to happen.
So I quickly grabbed Josie, grabbed Jackie and got the
heck out. The feeling that I had inside, the growl,
the blackness. There was no way that that was something
positive that was not going to harm me or the girls.
As soon as the girls and I got outside, we
(27:15):
got some fresh air and time away from the house.
I immediately felt better. My feeling of dread went away,
but I still did not want to go back in
that house. The girls and I stayed outside until Dana
got home around four pm. As soon as Dana got home,
(27:36):
she asked how our day was. I lied to her.
I said the day was great. I gathered my things
and I left. I was afraid that if I told
her the truth, I would lose my job, because it's
just something you don't hear about often. You know, this
stranger has been in your home taking care of your
two small children for two weeks, and they come to
(27:56):
you telling you that they saw a dark shadow and
a growl in the hallway. Like I thought they would
think I was a lunatic. There was no explanation for
this one. I go back the next day and I
was definitely on guard. I was still very on edge,
but nothing happened again until the following Wednesday.
(28:22):
It was a normal day, hot and humid in Louisiana.
At two o'clock, I had to leave with the girls
to pick up my son from school. I am in
my car getting ready to leave, and I had the
kids in the car with me. I get a text
from my mom asking for a photo of the house
because I had talked about how beautiful this plantation home was.
(28:44):
So I pulled out my phone snapped a quick picture
of the house. I sent it to my mom and
put my phone away and carried on going to pick
up my son from school. When I returned, we got
everybody unloaded out of the car, got inside. I checked
my phone and I had a text from my mom
saying how beautiful the house was, but asked who was
(29:07):
in the house? And I'm thinking, what are you talking about?
No one is in the house. So I went back
to the gallery on my phone, opened it up and
immediately started zooming in on all of the windows in
the home. I zoom in on all the bottom floor windows,
don't see anything. I move up to the top level
(29:31):
and on the last window on the top right, I
see a full black figure standing in this window. There
is a legit person standing in this window. I mean,
I was just snapping a quick picture. How did I
catch that? You know? Seeing the shadow made me feel
(29:54):
like my experiences were truly explainable now, like this is
something real, This is something paranormal, and I have proof
of it. At this point, I'm freaked out. This house
is very, very haunted. I am thinking that I probably
need to mention to the family my experiences and that
(30:16):
I am feeling uncomfortable in the house. So I asked
the mom if she had experienced anything in the home before,
and she said yes, which surprised me. She told me
that one night she was getting up to feed Josie
and the front door and the back door were completely open.
(30:38):
She said that, you know, maybe it was the wind,
but deep down inside, based on my experiences, I am
just assuming that this is a paranormal experience. She also
mentioned that they would hear someone walking or running up
in the hallway above the living room. And then they
said that they would hear doors slamming upstairs when no
one was home. And I had told her that I
(30:59):
didn't experience the doors opening or closing by themselves, but
I had experienced hearing the footsteps running upstairs. I just
wanted her to know about my experiences that I wasn't quitting.
I just wanted to be, you know, transparent with her.
She respected that and we just kind of moved on
from it. So I worked with this family for about
(31:21):
six months and every Wednesday something would end up happening. Not
as big as the first three experiences, but something unexplainable
would happen. I think it was trying to grab my attention,
Hey I'm here, just trying to show me what it
was capable of.
After it got my attention and I knew it was there,
(31:41):
it just no longer needed to do something big, you know.
And I thought it was very strange that my experiences
only occurred on Wednesdays. Because of my experiences that happened
in this house, I am now a paranormal investigator. I
now have a passion for trying to find out why
the paranormal happens, what causes hauntings, and I try to
(32:02):
help people who are experiencing what I experienced. I would
love to go back in the house and actually investigate
it with the knowledge that I have now and the
tools that I have, I would love to go back
in that house. I don't think that paranormal activity will
ever stop there.
THERÉSA (32:20):
Okay, it's not too often we ghosts inspire. We're really
jump starting careers over here on Haunting. Speaking of which,
we're taking a little break before we call Kenzie and

KENZIE (33:47):
Just like include like a rate, PTO, benefits, proposed schedule.
I'll need Fridays off because that's when I haunt my
friend's ski house. You know, general role trajectory. What else?
THERÉSA (34:00):
Haha? Okay, yeah.
KENZIE (34:01):
But yeah, thanks so much for calling babe. Kisses!
THERÉSA (34:06):
Kisses. Are you kidding me? Absolutely not? That was insane, Len,

LEN (34:15):
Rude.

So rude, right? Okay, obviously cut that entire part. We'll
figure out something else to put here in post. Let's
just jump right to the closer. Kenzie was thrilled to
get the offer, but turns out we actually don't need
an intern anymore. Things change by the minute here at Haunting. Sorry,
girl! But keep working hard and one day you might be

if you've got a spooky story to share, email Len
at HauntingThePodcast@gmail.com and you could be featured on an upcoming episode.
See you next time. Sorry, I'm still reeling. No one
in my life has ever talked to me like that.
I need to lie down.
