Speaker 1 (00:04):
There's a place beyond this place, a middle ground between
the light and the darkness, the natire and the zenith.
For some it's a bridge between the living and the dead.
Yet for others it's something else. Entirely, it's the place
where our nightmares dwell. Each one of us has touched
(00:25):
the other side and felt the presence of something beyond
this world.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Faces in the house, I don't recognize looking in emeracy,
the devil's eyes mixing too much.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I mean, I get crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Now I'm back alone on my Patrick.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Swace ghost gave it everything and only took a Oh
guess the Paris side is looking for ho bit you
so demned it does you? And sign it you I
never met a party.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In this next story, we delve into a maze which
we all call life, death, and the thinness of the
veil that separates them. We journey alongside Mario, whose upbringing
in the tougher precincts of Baltimore was accompanied by the
constant presence of death. Raised to not only accept, but
to embrace the inevitability of mortality, Mario has experiences that
(01:33):
stretch the bounds of reason and shake the foundations of
his understanding of life and death.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yet even he could not.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Have prepared himself for what awaited him on the other side.
How close can one come to the beyond without being
consumed by it?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Let's find out. My name is Mario and this is
my hip hopcorn story.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
The beginning, well, this honestly felt like it had no
beginning or an end.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I'm traveled a lot of places in my life.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
I grew up in Baltimore, and you know, Baltimore has
a lot of history, a lot of old buildings, a
lot of old houses, a lot of old towns. My
family own these two houses, or my great grandmother and
her sister, who later moved to Philadelphia owned these two
houses on the end of a block in Edmonston Village.
(02:35):
I was a young kid at the time, and I'm
telling you this part because this is kind of where
my horror stories, I guess you could say, started, and
then where I'm gonna lead you later in my life.
This house seeing a lot of death, this house seeing
a lot of fun, this house seeing a lot of
(02:55):
love and loss. I watched a lot of my family
members pass away at a young age, like drug use
and street violence and things of that nature.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
When I was.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
My grandmother passed when I was like eleven, and I
would probably say before her, like watching her bury her
a few of her sisters and brothers, like getting acquainted
with the other side or death early on, it wasn't
something that scared me because I was so used to
losing people that I loved so close to me and
(03:29):
literally being at differeneral as a kid. So spirituality was
something that I was introduced to early on, just like
the idea of multiple realms, like I was always connected
to that. And so when my grandmother passed the night
that she passed away, I knew that she was, like
we all at the hospital and we knew that she
(03:50):
was passing. I ended up leaving early with my mother
and we ended up going to the crib.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
And I could feel when she left.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Because there was this warm feeling in the room, like
almost hovering around me and my looks. My mother had
just had my little brother and she was laying in
the bed next to me, and I reached over and
I told her, I said, mom, my grandma.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Just passed away.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
She's like, how do you know? And I was like,
I feel, she's here right now. She's literally here right now.
She got a call maybe like ten minutes later that
you know, from the hospital, cause some of my family
was still there at the hospital. And I felt peace
with it because I knew she was still with me,
(04:38):
and from that moment on, she has been with me.
And my mom passed away about six years ago. The
night that she passed away, I didn't find out till
the next day. I was in LA and I was
at my place. I was in the kitchen and I
don't remember my cousin was over cause I hadn't seen
him in years. And crazy thing is his passed away
(05:01):
similar to how my mom passed away, but I hadn't
seen him, so I feel like she sent him there.
His mom, my mother's sister, sent him there to be
with me so that when this happened, I wasn't alone,
because he knew what that feeling was he already experienced
my kitchen. I walked downstairs, and mind you, it was
like literally like a it was like walking through a portal,
(05:24):
like it was warm.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
And then it immediately just got really cold.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It was freezing cold, like the house was freezing cold,
and the air was off. It was just like really
really really really cold in the house and I just
remember like I opened the freezer and it was more
almost more cold in the house, and I was just like, yo,
this is so weird.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Whatever.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
And then the next day I found out that happened.
When I went to back to Baltimore to go to
her funeral, I stayed at this hotel and it was
basically an old loading dot. It's called the Pendry, but
they have one in Baltimore, but they turned it into.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
An old loading dock.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
And I stayed there and I remember my hotel room
at about twelve or two eight morning having the same
exact coldness, same feeling, but only in one part of
the worm. And you know, I just I felt a
presence and then it got really warm again. After that
it went from like cold to warm. I don't know
(06:24):
if it was like some type of like just energetic
thing or what it was, but I definitely felt that
twice in the span of her life passing away.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I don't know why cold though, you know, I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't understand the cold part, because anytime I've ever
felt her or my grandmother was very warm.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And it's just maybe it was like some type of.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Crossover or I'm saying all of this to say that
like these years between my mother and my grandmother passing
with some of the most the the deepest years of
my spiritual journey where I've kind of been connected with
the other side and even have felt myself being kind
of split into multiple different dimensions throughout my life or
(07:05):
my spiritual journey. Studying world religion and just studying different
practices trends it into a meditation, so forth and so on.
So this leads to this next story that I'm going
to tell you, which is really going to tie it
all it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I go to Amsterdam.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I go to Amsterdam, and I'll say this, I think
once you acknowledge that there's other realms around us and
other dimensions that we can't see. You know that our
ears can only hear certain frequencies in our eyes can
only see certain bandwidths of light.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
But there's a lot going on around us that we
can't see until we tune into it on that level.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Right, the hotel that I was standing and at the
time was a hotel where a lot of orphans.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Would go afterwards and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
And I just think that Europe and places like that
that where buildings haven't been touched really old. When you're sensitive,
when you're spiritually energetically sensitive, you're just open to things.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
You feel things differently.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
So that whole night, like some of my teammates were
standing at another hotel cross the street, but I was
standing there with one another person. Everybody was scared of
my hotel, so we were there. Everybody was getting lit
and we were chilling that like two am. People were like, yo,
I might of here, it's creepy here. I didn't mind it,
you know, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Actually.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I remember there was this crow or whatever kind of bird.
It was so okay. My room was at the top floor.
It was only six floors. My room was at the
top floor. But the way it was, it was built
like a cathedral. So across out of my window, which
was kind of shaped like this, it was another window
like that across the way, and there was a bird
(08:53):
sitting on that window and it just kept crowing really
loud all night, and it's it sounded like a screen.
It was weird all night long. I'm like, yo, I
ended up falling asleep, but it was crazy. This The
night before this happened, I'm in Absterdam. I'm walking across
(09:15):
a canal, and it was just me and at the time,
my security and the lady who was handling promo for me.
I was doing interviews and stuff, but I decided to
take time and go into the city. I remember seeing
this bus on the opposite side of the road and
I wanted to get to the other side because it
was like this canal, and I remember waiting for the
bus to pass, and just like the wind of the
bus passing, and then after that bus passed, this is
(09:39):
when it happened, and the street was empty when it
was happening, and then immediately I'm stopped.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
There's some type of portal or energy happening.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
To the point whereas though I immediately start speaking another
less ship for like twenty minutes straight knives a lot
of time. I could feel my cell leaving my body,
but I'm still there. Cars are coming back and right
literally she had to come in over the Roman history,
and I would say this is the most that yet
(10:14):
being a deep.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Message or.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Transcendental moments I've had consciously where I felt like I
was being used as a portal to either open or
close or clear something that need to be or release
something that needed to be released, and I think a
lot of us have.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I guess you could say powers or or or.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Gifts that sometimes we get introduced to later on in life,
and sometimes we get introduced to. I can't say that
I've used these for my own, you know, practices, like
in terms of potently, but I've lightly tapped into different
things that I'm gifted with. But this here was something different,
and I would say was the most paranormal experiences I
(11:02):
have had.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
It felt like I was being used like a portal.
That's what it. It didn't feel like a pool.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
It felt like an opening whatever I was saying at
the time, as I asked most people, it was, you
know what it felt like. It felt like I had
been in this place before. This is what it felt like.
I had been there before. And whatever I had left there,
I was reconnecting with or releasing something or healing something.
That's what it felt like. Because after I was done,
(11:31):
I felt weightless. It's a void and I just felt
literally connected to everything and everything is just expended. And
from when I came out of it, I stood there
for a second and I was like, yo, I literally
just remember it being here. I did remember being there.
(11:55):
I just don't know why or how. It was very
the frequency of it was very like big and strong
and almost earthy. I think there's still a lot of
spirits and energies everywhere that we go. There's so much
history even here where we are now, Like we just
because we're so tuned into whatever we'll focus on. If
(12:16):
we set still, we sat here for a whole day
and just meditating and opened up portal, I'm sure we're
feel something.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I've always been.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Able to feel paranormal energy is because I don't even
know paranormal is the world, but it's because my family
very deeply spiritual family. I want to say, I think
that my great great grandmother was a shaman, but I
think that the roots of my family, and like my
(12:48):
great great grandmother was Cherokey in the India, and I
don't know much about her parents, but I've seen pictures
of her and if you look in her eyes, you
could just tell like she was tapping into some other energy. Sure,
and my great grandmother very spiritual. My grandmother so and
my great great grandmother was also a church mother, so
(13:08):
she all the funerals she went to, you know, like
very much. So family who praise and also who experienced
a lot of trauma, but also like stay very close
to gods.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
So I think that was just surrounded by that.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
And then I was also just one of those kids
who were just interested in like energy more so than the.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Physical world that you could see.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I was always like cerebral and how I thought about
other people. I can have a conversation with somebody, I
am not really listening to their words, I'm listening to
the frequency and the energy and payments to Like I
just always been that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Type of person.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Mario's odyssey transcends time and space, revealing the fragility and
complexity of our own existence. His encounter with the inexplicable
might make us consider the limitation of our own understanding,
pushing us to ponder what really happens when we teeter
on the edge of life and death. Next on hip
(14:18):
hop horror Stories, devilis K pulls back the curtain on
a tail not of a malevolent spirit or demonic presence,
but of a terror born from a Halloween scare that
spiraled into a year's long nightmare.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
This story goes a while back. I was like ten
eleven years old, you know, in Toronto, Scarborough here, you know,
I got a sleepover, and the vowers of the sleep
oover were very like they're cool. You know. I was
ten eleven years old, fucking playing video games and shit,
like eating fucking candy to like fucking what midnight, and shit,
(14:58):
it's a weekend and all that. This was around October though,
this was around like Jenna Halloween ere you know. So
it was just like it's always like staying up on
the weekends, boys having sleepovers and shit. It was cool.
So then my dad picked me up from the sleepovers
to take me home, and I don't know, like we
had watched like a bunch of like scary movies and shit,
and like during that time, like I was just ten
(15:20):
eleven just thinking about like damn, like I just watched
the girl's head get fucking split open. You know, I'm saying,
I'm like, damn about to go home right now. And
I know my dad was going to the gym too.
He had told me he's like I'm about to drop
you off and go to the fucking gym. You know,
guys always lifting fucking dumbbells. You know, he's like fucking
fifty seven years old. Shout out, pops. But anyways, guy's
killing it. So he drops me to the he drops
(15:41):
me to the flat where and he drops me to
like the he drops me to the crib and it's
like he's like, the door's already opened, just just open
the door. And I'm like, okay, cool. He peels off,
you know, like out of parents, bro, Like in terms
of driving, like they peel off mad quick. So this
gives me no fucking time. Like by the time I
open the door and I look behind me, he's gone,
(16:01):
Like I'm like, oh shit, our house is actually creepy
as fuck the way it's set up. So the inside
is super nice because we renovated the inside, but the
outside of the house is like, bro, just think of
like wooden creek, Like I'm talking about like bricks, Like
the house is off of brown bricks, you know. The
fucking porch is like kind of wooden a little bit.
(16:24):
There's like some rocking chairs and shit. I don't know
how to explain it, bro, but it was literally what
you see out the movies. Just like the very outside
of the house. It looks like fucking shit. Inside of
the house, it's nice as hell. So I'm sitting there
and I'm looking like fucking walking up the steps it's
like this, it's like stone steps. And then the fucking
the front the front porch is just like the wood
(16:46):
and shits, I'm stepping on I'm hearing creeks as soon
as a foot my foot on the on the wood
and sit and then the door is like how do
I say? So, it's just a it's a regular door
you could see through like the It's like one of
those ones. It has like a little window in the
middle of it. It's not just the it's just the door.
So I don't know how to describe it. But it
(17:07):
just looked super haunted and shit in my in my opinion,
you know, at this point, I'm like also mad tired,
so like that's also why I'm walking up the stairs
Matt slow, but just like because I saw the door
kind of already like open a little and I was
just I don't think my dad realized it when he
told me to open the door. So I'm walking in
slowly me, well, the fuck's the door open? You know,
(17:27):
I had I'm just thinking why is it open? Like
what this is confusing? So like I walk in and
mind you we have a light like it was also creepy,
is the light that day kept flickering, so we have
an outside light and that shit was on, so it
kept flickering. So as like, I'm opening the door, lights flickering,
and shit, I'm walking in slowly. Now I'm scared of shit.
(17:48):
I walk in the crib and I see the TV on.
All the lights and shut up. But I see the
TV on and I'm like, usually my mom be staying
up and watching TV, like just Turkish movies and stuff
like that, so usually should be up. But I was
like just guessing that she was up. So I went
and I'm like, as if I'm gonna go say hi
to her, there's no one there's The TV is just static,
(18:10):
like just static major in this bitch. And I'm looking
at the TV's just and I'm like at that point,
I just froze. I'm like, fuck, this is mad, weird.
The fuck's going on? You know. I go, I go
to my mom's room, see if she's like sleeping in
the eyes. I'm kick over the doors. She's not there.
The fuck my mom at I'm like, where's she at?
Like this is weird. So my only other person that
(18:32):
would be in the house would be my brother. So
I'm like, okay, I'm looking around for my brother into
his room. Man's not there, Like of course, it's never home.
So I go downstairs because we have an upper level
in a downstairs level. And I go and I go downstairs,
and I'm also hearing the kind of fuck Now, I'm like,
what what's going on? I go down It's like dark
as shit. And at that time, I was scared of
(18:52):
the dark, like I remember, like I couldn't sleep in
the darker. I pissed the bad like I couldn't. So
imagine me walking down the stairs after seeing that shit. Fuck,
if I go upstairs, I'm dead. If I go downstairs,
I'm dead. Fuck a, my dude, I'm like ten eleven
years old. I just came back from a sleepover my boys.
You know I should scary movies. I like, I don't
know what to expect, you know. IM said the door
was already open. I was like, okay, this is kind
(19:13):
of weird, you know what the fuck the door be open?
And then all the static and the TV's and shit.
Fuck no, So I went down and I started walking.
And it's funny because in the when we renovated the house,
there's like little creeks. So when you step on like
the fucking the stairs, you hear the like like little
creeks and shit, and that's already scary enough. So I'm like, fuck,
(19:33):
So I hear the crease scare myself, like damn, go downstairs,
and I still hear the TV from the distance, and
I'm like debating if I should walk in the room.
I'm like, yo, you know what, Like I'm I'm not
like if this was a movie sitting like I'm dying first,
like you know what I mean, Like it's not how
it's supposed to be, So I don't know if I
should just walk in there. So I walk in there
(19:53):
and the TV is just on same thing as the
other one is just and I'm like, okay, first of all,
where's my mom at? Where's my bro at? I'm like,
I don't my bro be out. I'm like my mom at,
like this is the real thing, like my mom fucking
with me. I was in my head like there's no
way my mom's fucking with me, Like what a mother
dude is to the child, like ten eleven years old,
you're trying to let me pull a prank. I'm like, nah, bro,
(20:16):
she wouldn't do this. I'm thinking, like, my bro doing this,
but my bro wasn't even home, so I couldn't even
really custion it. So I try to turn off the
TV with the remote. I can't, and I'm like, why
the fuck can I do that? Like what the fuck?
Like usually when you have a TV, fucking remote supposed
to work with the TV. So I'm ten eleven years old,
try to click. It's not working. I'm thinking. I'm like, okay,
maybe I'm just fucking too far from it. Let me
(20:38):
go closer, and I'm still not working. That shit freaked
me out. That shot went upstairs. I went upstairs and
I'm like, fuck now, let me try the other one gostairs.
I'm like, oh, here's the footsteps, you know, it's just
like going upstairs and shit, I'm like almost falling, tripping
and shit, like scared as fuck. Okay, let me go upstairs.
Try to turn off that TV. And there's two different TVs.
You know, one's bigger, one smaller, the one downstairs more.
(21:00):
But I'm trying to close the fucking upstairs one. It's
not working. I'm like, what the fuck, I'm hitting the butts.
I'm getting fucking mad. I'm like, okay, on, oh shit,
this is not working. I'm like, all right, I start
chipping out, like maybe like the remote is wired wrong,
like maybe it's another button that turns it on. I'm
just I'm ten years old, thinking of like fucking a
(21:21):
million different unrealistic scenarios and are trying every button and
it's not working. What do I Like? I'm like, how
how how am I gonna what? So I'm like going downstairs,
trying the other one, come back upstairs trying that one.
I'm like, okay, this is fucking wild. I turn on
the lights in the house finally. I don't know why
I didn't do that the first time. I'm like, you know,
usually you walk in, you turn on the fucking lights.
But I think I was just so fucking scared. I'm like, yo,
(21:44):
if I turn on the lights, like some bitch gonna
pop out and fucking take my heart out my soul.
Like so I'm like, I'm not gonna do that shit.
I'm just gonna keep it myself. Like I thought that
was a better idea. So I turned on the lights
and I'm like, okay, everything kind of seemed like chill,
you know, like more calm, you know, more with myself,
more in tune with what the fuck going on, because
it's not so dark, Like, okay, it's still going sh
(22:05):
I'm like, fuck, how do I turn this off? Then
I'm like, okay, let me try unplugging it from the wall.
But let me do that shit, you know, I'm let
me just try unplugging it. So I try unplugging it
and it finally turns off, and I'm like, Okay, that's
weird at fuck. I'm like, is the remote broken? I'm like,
it's weird as fucking I opened the back of the
remote and the batteries are there too, so I'm like,
it's not like someone took out batteries. They're trying to
(22:25):
fuck with me, Like the remote clearly had batteries and
is working and shit. So I go downstairs. I did
the same thing, batteries in there. I'm like, Okay, what
are the odds of like both remotes the batteries are
like like burnt out and the remotes not working. I'm like,
what are the odds of that? I'm ten eleven years old, remember,
so in my mind I'm not thinking about that. I'm
thinking about like, oh my gosh static, what the fuck
(22:47):
remotes not working?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Mom?
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Like you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not thinking
about like oh, if the fucking battery life of the
remote is gonna fucking you know, turn on the TV.
So next day and I went to bed at that time,
at that point, it was mean, that was mad, tired.
I had a sugar rush, fucking knocked the fuck out.
Next day, I wake up and it was like the
weirdest like morning, Like I wake up. First of all,
(23:10):
I pissed the bed, got my ass beat about that.
My mom came down.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
You pissed the bed.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well that She's like, you pissed the bed? Why you
pissed the bed? I'm like, Mom, I had a rupt
like no, I'm never letting you go to sleepover again.
Let me Carl Thomas right now. Call my dad, Carl
Thomas right now, Thomas. That was mother. I'm gonna speak
to her. I'm like, fuck man, Jesus Christ, like couldn't
control myself, so fucking go upstairs. And my dad's like
(23:35):
like flipping the eggs and shit. And I don't know why.
Everything just seemed more like like dramatic to me at
that point, like you know, I'm ten eleven years old.
I'm saying, like, fuck, I just had the craziest night.
I pissed the bed, got paid by my mom. Now
I'm upstairs. My dad's just flipping a fucking egg, like
what is this? Like all this shit's happening with me.
I'm like, I don't know how to interpret what's gonna
(23:56):
happen next. It's as if like something's gonna happen later
that night too. It's like it's shadowing like something. So
then I was like good morning. I'm like, oh, good morning.
He's like he's like, when'd you sleep? And I was
like fucking like one am to m. He's like, you

not gonna tell. Remember, I'm not gonna tell my immigrant parents. Yeah,
hey guys, I fucking walked in the house and the
static of the TV was just like just going crazy
and I couldn't turn it off. They're gonna look at
me like are you stupid? Like we just we just
turned on the TV today. So I'm like, okay, I
(24:57):
go downstairs, let me try the other one. And I
tried the other one and it's working too. I'm like,
how the fuck are both of them working? Now? Am
I like tripping out? So I thought I was tripping
out the whole time, the whole day. So then my
brother walks in and at the time I didn't realize
because I was so young, but I remember my brother
(25:19):
walks in. He's just looking at me and he's just
like smiling, and I'm like, are you so happy about?
Like you know, what are you so happy about? And
he's just looking at me like, oh, nothing, you know.
I'm like, where'd you go all night? He's like, oh,
just at a friend's house. You know, it's a weekend.
And he's like We're like the same way you have sleepover.
He's like, I have adults sleep overs and shit. And
I was just like, oh okay, cool, Like you be
(25:40):
here tonight. He's like, I don't know, maybe I will,
maybe I won't. And I was like, oh okay. So
then later that night that came. My dad always goes
to the gym at night, so he always leaves the
house and if my brother's not home, usually my mom's home.
So my mom was home that time this time, so
yesterday I don't know why she wasn't. I never asked her.
I never got around to that conclusion, to be honest
(26:01):
with you, but she was home and it was just
me and her technically lose midnight, my dad always goes
to the Good Life in its fucking twenty four hours.
The guy's always gone for like two hours just working out. Fuck.
I think she's Dayne Johnson and shit. But anyway, it's like,
you know, I'm at the crab alone again and I'm like, fuck, okay,
(26:21):
trying out the fucking TV see if they're working, just
like literally there for like fucking an hour, I swear
to God, just downstairs, just clicking the fucking button, like,
oh shit, is this gonna like fucking not work on
me again. And it was working. Everything was working, but
then something else happened. Ladies and gentlemen. I uh, there's
a side door to my basement, so there's the upstairs
(26:44):
doing the side door. So all I just kept hearing
is knocks on the side door. I'm like, fucking god, bro,
not this shit again. Bro, Like like I just changed
the sheets and shit, fuck got a beating, I'm gonna
get another one. So I opened the door clearly because
I'm like, someone knocked on the door and I opened
(27:05):
it and no one's there.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm like, oh my god, no way, bro.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I'm like, no, shot, this is happening. And I'm just
like saying like hello, like is anyone out here? And
no one said anything. So I close the door again.
As soon as my ass hits the fucking couch, you
hear another knock. I'm sitting there like, oh my god.
You know, okay, you know when my parents asked you
to do chores, you just sat down. They asked you.
(27:28):
They call you again, and you're just like, fuck now
I gotta get up again. It was that feeling I
fucking sit down, just knock on the door I'm sitting
there and I'm like, fuck, get back up, run up
the stairs, open the door. Now I'm pissed off. Like
now I'm like hello, like it was fucking with me,
stopped knocking on the doors. Now I'm pissed off a
little ten year old bro. I had a big mouth. Bro,
(27:49):
you know he pissed me off. I had a big mouth.
I was saying all types of shit. I was like,
you know, the fucking knock on my door again. I
swear to God, I'll slap the shit I was. I
was as hollering and then my mom waits. So she
comes down and she's like she's like, Rony, what do
you what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (28:07):
I'm like what.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
She's like, you look fucking psychotic the fuck away from
the door, yelling at the door. I'm like like, no,
there's someone knock. He's like, what knock? I didn't hear
no knock. I just heard you. And I was like
all right, all right. She's like, go to sleep, go downstairs,
and then then I start hearing some freaky shit. So
then like in the room that I was in downstairs,
(28:28):
there's like a little slider window, so it's not necessarily
a window It's more like like one of those slider
ones where you could slide open and shit. But it
wasn't a huge window, so it was small and it
was at the top of my bed. So I just
keep hearing like like someone as if like they're taking
their nails and just kind of hidden the windows slowly,
like I don't know, it's just weird. It just made
(28:49):
a weird sound. So I'm looking and there's no one there,
but I keep hearing that sound and then I hear
and I just I just hear from this and I
just hear like like like just crazy. I'm like, go,
nah shit, I get up. I'm like nah nah nah
nah nah, and I'm like, oh my god, nah, this
is fucked. So then after that, I just couldn't sleep.
(29:13):
I was up all night. I was upstairs. My dad
comes home from the gym. He's like looking and he's
just like he sees the fucking he sees his pitch
black and it's just kids just sitting there like on TV.
And he's like turns on the light. He's like, the
fuck are you doing. I'm like, Dad, I can't sleep downstairs.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Man.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
He's like why. I'm like, bro, I think you know
I pissed last night. I think I'm a shit this night.
If I sleep down there, it's not gonna it's not
gonna work like this anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Man.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I'm sorry, I might have to move out like this,
Like this house is fucking I don't know who you
bought it from, but there's some voodoo shit going on.
And my dad's like, you know, bro, we're out. They
hear that shit. They're like, you're just being a pussy,
like go downstairs, go to sleep, shut the fuck up,
you know. So he sits with me and he's like
talking to me about it. He's like, what did you hear?
I'm like, bro, first is the TVs? Then the most
(29:59):
not working? He's like, what's wrong with the TV's the
static and shit. And he's like, oh, that's weird. And
I'm like, yeah, it's weird, just the remosts not working.
He's like, yeah, but the most worked today, Like did
you try today? I'm like, yeah, they worked, but last
night they weren't working. He's like, oh, that's odd. And
then downstairs I was just telling like the window and shit,
and then he was just like, well, I think you
just He's like, honestly, I think you just you're hallucinating
(30:22):
or something like there's no way, like you sound crazy
right now, and I'm like, fuck damn, how they're gonna
send me off the fucking therapy and shit, oh god,
they don't even believe in it. But like, you know,
imagine like hearing your ten year old say that. I
at that point like I'd probably just send them off,
you know, just in case, just get the fucking check
up and shit, because it didn't sound real like I understood,
you know. So then the next day I wake up
(30:44):
and then at the time I didn't realize it, but
I was just scared ever since then from like anything
Halloween related, like just my friend would be like, let's
go trick and trip like not fuck that. Fuck that.
Not fuck that. I don't do that. I'll let's have
a sleep that's what. Not fuck that, y'all can watch alone.
I ain't doing that. Fuck that. And I don't think
(31:05):
I ever told anyone about the story because it was
just so like unreal to me that I didn't. I'm like,
I found I felt I felt stupid talking about it.
I'm like, bro, if I'm gonna talk about this ship
to my parents, are gonna say I'm stupid. My brother
thinks I'm dumb. My friends just could think I'm more
dumb because they're they're my age group too, like they're
gonna actually probably believe it a little bit. I might
scare them and shit. So I was like fuck this.
(31:28):
So I was always scared of Halloween, never celebrated Halloween ever,
like ever anytime Halloween came around, didn't even dress up,
bro nothing, Like one time a girl asked me and
class who you're supposed to be. I'm like, bitch myself,
like I'm not, you know what I mean, Like like
I'm not doing that anymore. Even in like when I
got to like high school, like girls would just be like,
let's go on a date on Halloween. Let's watch the
(31:48):
Scared Movies, a new movie. I'm like, not, can't.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
She's like why.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
I'm like I'm just I just can't. It's like it
my ugly. I'm like, nah, it's not that. It's like
you sure like I just did my I'm like nah,
it's not. You just can't do it, can't do it.
So every girl in school thought I had like a
fucking phobia or like something with Halloween where I just
didn't like it. They would always ask me. I'm like, fuck, bro,
now now I'm bitch made at school and shit. So
(32:11):
then I was telling my bro about that. Like I
remember when I got to high school. I was like, man,
these girls are all asking me to go fucking movies,
trigger treating parties for Halloween related and I just can't go.
And he's like why and I'm like, bro, I'm just scared.
He's like why, what the what do you mean you're scared?
He's like, what do you mean only your grown men?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Now?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Like you know what I mean, You're not kid anymore.
I'm like, yeah, I don't think I ever told you.
But like when I was like ten eleven years old,
I remember walking in the cribble one thing. It was
just static, like upstairs downstairs with the TVs, most were
not working. And then he starts laughing, and I'm like
you started laughing? Bro, I'm like, what the fuck are
you laughing at me? Like I'm trying I'm telling a
dead ass story. You laughing at me? He's like at me,
He's like no, because you actually you thought that was real?
(32:53):
And I send them like not fuck off. At this point,
I'm like, bro, at this point. I'm like sixteen years old.
I'm like, fuck up, shit happened five years ago. For
five years. What are you laughing about? Bro? I'm pissed
off now. I'm like, what what's going on? He's like,
He's like, so that day when I kept telling you,
I was at my friend's house. It was me and
my friend pranking you, and I was like, nah, shut up, bro,
(33:15):
I'm like, how did you manage? And I started thinking
about I'm like, wait, a second door was already open,
you know what I'm saying. Or walk in the crib.
I'm like, okay, Well, one thing I didn't understand, Like
how did you Okay, I understand the TV things, but
how did you get to fucking remotes to not work?
It was weird. I'm like, how are they not working?
One day? And the next day the trial was working.
(33:35):
He was like, so I put in like burnt out
batteries within the remote, so then when you tried it
it wouldn't work. And then when you went to sleep,
I switched them out and I switched the batteries on
it so they can work. So he woke up thinking like,
oh shit, the fuck I tried it and I didn't
think that was gonna work on you because you were
a smart kid. But like it worked on you, and
I was like fuck, Okay. The next day, I'm like,
(33:57):
what about the fucking knocking out the window. He's like, yeah,
I literally walked up to the side of your window
and just like knocked up and just said your name
a bunch of times in a girl's voice. I'm like,
that was your voice. He's like yeah, bro, like that
was me, and I was saying you motherfucker. I'm like
five years like, I didn't know no Halloween, no Halloween parties,
no trick or treated, no nothing, no scary movies. I'm
(34:18):
out here pissing the bed until I'm like fucking thirteen
years old. It's not even normal at that point. I'm
like thirteen years old. I'm like, bro, I'm on the
verge of going to high school, puberty, everything. Fourteen fifteen,
I'm still pissing the bed because of you. You traumatized
me that much. After that night of everything going down,
Like I had my cousins shit call my phone saying
come over, let's carve pumpkins. I'm like no, For the
(34:40):
first time in like years, I was usually like yeah,
that's so sick, let's go do it. Because I was
just like, nah, can't do it. They're like why why?
I'm like nah, I just I don't want to car pumpkins.
Like since when do you not want to car pumpkins?
I'm like I don't know, like because I can't go
up on the phone and just say, oh yeah, because
last night fucking TV static pissed myself Like you know
what I'm saying, can't do that, So I just everything
(35:01):
Halloween wise, like my mom, same thing. What type of
can do you want to save to the kids? Like nothing,
I don't give a fuck, Like do whatever you need
to do. I'm not doing it. Oh what are you
dressing up as? I'm like, nah, I'm dressing up as
me myself and I I Am not dressing up No
way to drank Halloween anytime. Like I see somebody dressed
up as Scream Bro, I just I don't know. I
just want to get out the car and just beat
(35:23):
the shit out of them. Like it's just like you
know what I'm saying, Like I'm looking like why the
why the fuck you doing this to me? Bro? Like nah, bro,
this is not allowed, Like you know what I mean
because I never got to part ways with it when
I was a kid, Like I never I can't just
beat up scream, I can't beat the fear. I'm sure
everyone wants to beat the fuck out the fears of
the fear in front of me, kick the living shit
out of it. But all I have to say, if
you have a sibling that's older than you and you
(35:44):
you young, or you have like a younger brother, just
always look out. The fucking older sibling is always on
some fucking fucking shit.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Our journey through this tale of unintended consequence compels us
to reflect on the nature of fear itself, how it
shapes us, defines our realities, and often lurks not in
the dark corners of the world, but in the spaces
we deem safest. Remember, the scariest stories are not always
(36:23):
filled with paranormal entities or curses from beyond, but sometimes
those created by our own hands and our own homes.
So let me ask you, where is it really safe.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
It can never be, we can never.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Do, it can never.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Never to
Speaker 4 (37:11):
The by the black
There's a place beyond this place, a middle ground between
the light and the darkness, the natire and the zenith.
For some it's a bridge between the living and the dead.
Yet for others it's something else. Entirely, it's the place
where our nightmares dwell. Each one of us has touched
(00:25):
the other side and felt the presence of something beyond
this world.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Faces in the house, I don't recognize looking in emeracy,
the devil's eyes mixing too much.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I mean, I get crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Now I'm back alone on my Patrick.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Swace ghost gave it everything and only took a Oh
guess the Paris side is looking for ho bit you
so demned it does you? And sign it you I
never met a party.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In this next story, we delve into a maze which
we all call life, death, and the thinness of the
veil that separates them. We journey alongside Mario, whose upbringing
in the tougher precincts of Baltimore was accompanied by the
constant presence of death. Raised to not only accept, but
to embrace the inevitability of mortality, Mario has experiences that
(01:33):
stretch the bounds of reason and shake the foundations of
his understanding of life and death.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yet even he could not.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Have prepared himself for what awaited him on the other side.
How close can one come to the beyond without being
consumed by it?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Let's find out. My name is Mario and this is
my hip hopcorn story.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
The beginning, well, this honestly felt like it had no
beginning or an end.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I'm traveled a lot of places in my life.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
I grew up in Baltimore, and you know, Baltimore has
a lot of history, a lot of old buildings, a
lot of old houses, a lot of old towns. My
family own these two houses, or my great grandmother and
her sister, who later moved to Philadelphia owned these two
houses on the end of a block in Edmonston Village.
(02:35):
I was a young kid at the time, and I'm
telling you this part because this is kind of where
my horror stories, I guess you could say, started, and
then where I'm gonna lead you later in my life.
This house seeing a lot of death, this house seeing
a lot of fun, this house seeing a lot of
(02:55):
love and loss. I watched a lot of my family
members pass away at a young age, like drug use
and street violence and things of that nature.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
When I was.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
My grandmother passed when I was like eleven, and I
would probably say before her, like watching her bury her
a few of her sisters and brothers, like getting acquainted
with the other side or death early on, it wasn't
something that scared me because I was so used to
losing people that I loved so close to me and
(03:29):
literally being at differeneral as a kid. So spirituality was
something that I was introduced to early on, just like
the idea of multiple realms, like I was always connected
to that. And so when my grandmother passed the night
that she passed away, I knew that she was, like
we all at the hospital and we knew that she
(03:50):
was passing. I ended up leaving early with my mother
and we ended up going to the crib.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
And I could feel when she left.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Because there was this warm feeling in the room, like
almost hovering around me and my looks. My mother had
just had my little brother and she was laying in
the bed next to me, and I reached over and
I told her, I said, mom, my grandma.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Just passed away.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
She's like, how do you know? And I was like,
I feel, she's here right now. She's literally here right now.
She got a call maybe like ten minutes later that
you know, from the hospital, cause some of my family
was still there at the hospital. And I felt peace
with it because I knew she was still with me,
(04:38):
and from that moment on, she has been with me.
And my mom passed away about six years ago. The
night that she passed away, I didn't find out till
the next day. I was in LA and I was
at my place. I was in the kitchen and I
don't remember my cousin was over cause I hadn't seen
him in years. And crazy thing is his passed away
(05:01):
similar to how my mom passed away, but I hadn't
seen him, so I feel like she sent him there.
His mom, my mother's sister, sent him there to be
with me so that when this happened, I wasn't alone,
because he knew what that feeling was he already experienced
my kitchen. I walked downstairs, and mind you, it was
like literally like a it was like walking through a portal,
(05:24):
like it was warm.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
And then it immediately just got really cold.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It was freezing cold, like the house was freezing cold,
and the air was off. It was just like really
really really really cold in the house and I just
remember like I opened the freezer and it was more
almost more cold in the house, and I was just like, yo,
this is so weird.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Whatever.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
And then the next day I found out that happened.
When I went to back to Baltimore to go to
her funeral, I stayed at this hotel and it was
basically an old loading dot. It's called the Pendry, but
they have one in Baltimore, but they turned it into.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
An old loading dock.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
And I stayed there and I remember my hotel room
at about twelve or two eight morning having the same
exact coldness, same feeling, but only in one part of
the worm. And you know, I just I felt a
presence and then it got really warm again. After that
it went from like cold to warm. I don't know
(06:24):
if it was like some type of like just energetic
thing or what it was, but I definitely felt that
twice in the span of her life passing away.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I don't know why cold though, you know, I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't understand the cold part, because anytime I've ever
felt her or my grandmother was very warm.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And it's just maybe it was like some type of.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Crossover or I'm saying all of this to say that
like these years between my mother and my grandmother passing
with some of the most the the deepest years of
my spiritual journey where I've kind of been connected with
the other side and even have felt myself being kind
of split into multiple different dimensions throughout my life or
(07:05):
my spiritual journey. Studying world religion and just studying different
practices trends it into a meditation, so forth and so on.
So this leads to this next story that I'm going
to tell you, which is really going to tie it
all it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I go to Amsterdam.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I go to Amsterdam, and I'll say this, I think
once you acknowledge that there's other realms around us and
other dimensions that we can't see. You know that our
ears can only hear certain frequencies in our eyes can
only see certain bandwidths of light.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
But there's a lot going on around us that we
can't see until we tune into it on that level.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Right, the hotel that I was standing and at the
time was a hotel where a lot of orphans.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Would go afterwards and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
And I just think that Europe and places like that
that where buildings haven't been touched really old. When you're sensitive,
when you're spiritually energetically sensitive, you're just open to things.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
You feel things differently.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
So that whole night, like some of my teammates were
standing at another hotel cross the street, but I was
standing there with one another person. Everybody was scared of
my hotel, so we were there. Everybody was getting lit
and we were chilling that like two am. People were like, yo,
I might of here, it's creepy here. I didn't mind it,
you know, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Actually.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I remember there was this crow or whatever kind of bird.
It was so okay. My room was at the top floor.
It was only six floors. My room was at the
top floor. But the way it was, it was built
like a cathedral. So across out of my window, which
was kind of shaped like this, it was another window
like that across the way, and there was a bird
(08:53):
sitting on that window and it just kept crowing really
loud all night, and it's it sounded like a screen.
It was weird all night long. I'm like, yo, I
ended up falling asleep, but it was crazy. This The
night before this happened, I'm in Absterdam. I'm walking across
(09:15):
a canal, and it was just me and at the time,
my security and the lady who was handling promo for me.
I was doing interviews and stuff, but I decided to
take time and go into the city. I remember seeing
this bus on the opposite side of the road and
I wanted to get to the other side because it
was like this canal, and I remember waiting for the
bus to pass, and just like the wind of the
bus passing, and then after that bus passed, this is
(09:39):
when it happened, and the street was empty when it
was happening, and then immediately I'm stopped.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
There's some type of portal or energy happening.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
To the point whereas though I immediately start speaking another
less ship for like twenty minutes straight knives a lot
of time. I could feel my cell leaving my body,
but I'm still there. Cars are coming back and right
literally she had to come in over the Roman history,
and I would say this is the most that yet
(10:14):
being a deep.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Message or.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Transcendental moments I've had consciously where I felt like I
was being used as a portal to either open or
close or clear something that need to be or release
something that needed to be released, and I think a
lot of us have.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I guess you could say powers or or or.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Gifts that sometimes we get introduced to later on in life,
and sometimes we get introduced to. I can't say that
I've used these for my own, you know, practices, like
in terms of potently, but I've lightly tapped into different
things that I'm gifted with. But this here was something different,
and I would say was the most paranormal experiences I
(11:02):
have had.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
It felt like I was being used like a portal.
That's what it. It didn't feel like a pool.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
It felt like an opening whatever I was saying at
the time, as I asked most people, it was, you
know what it felt like. It felt like I had
been in this place before. This is what it felt like.
I had been there before. And whatever I had left there,
I was reconnecting with or releasing something or healing something.
That's what it felt like. Because after I was done,
(11:31):
I felt weightless. It's a void and I just felt
literally connected to everything and everything is just expended. And
from when I came out of it, I stood there
for a second and I was like, yo, I literally
just remember it being here. I did remember being there.
(11:55):
I just don't know why or how. It was very
the frequency of it was very like big and strong
and almost earthy. I think there's still a lot of
spirits and energies everywhere that we go. There's so much
history even here where we are now, Like we just
because we're so tuned into whatever we'll focus on. If
(12:16):
we set still, we sat here for a whole day
and just meditating and opened up portal, I'm sure we're
feel something.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I've always been.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Able to feel paranormal energy is because I don't even
know paranormal is the world, but it's because my family
very deeply spiritual family. I want to say, I think
that my great great grandmother was a shaman, but I
think that the roots of my family, and like my
(12:48):
great great grandmother was Cherokey in the India, and I
don't know much about her parents, but I've seen pictures
of her and if you look in her eyes, you
could just tell like she was tapping into some other energy. Sure,
and my great grandmother very spiritual. My grandmother so and
my great great grandmother was also a church mother, so
(13:08):
she all the funerals she went to, you know, like
very much. So family who praise and also who experienced
a lot of trauma, but also like stay very close
to gods.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
So I think that was just surrounded by that.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
And then I was also just one of those kids
who were just interested in like energy more so than the.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Physical world that you could see.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I was always like cerebral and how I thought about
other people. I can have a conversation with somebody, I
am not really listening to their words, I'm listening to
the frequency and the energy and payments to Like I
just always been that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Type of person.

Mario's odyssey transcends time and space, revealing the fragility and
complexity of our own existence. His encounter with the inexplicable
might make us consider the limitation of our own understanding,
pushing us to ponder what really happens when we teeter
on the edge of life and death. Next on hip
(14:18):
hop horror Stories, devilis K pulls back the curtain on
a tail not of a malevolent spirit or demonic presence,
but of a terror born from a Halloween scare that
spiraled into a year's long nightmare.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
This story goes a while back. I was like ten
eleven years old, you know, in Toronto, Scarborough here, you know,
I got a sleepover, and the vowers of the sleep
oover were very like they're cool. You know. I was
ten eleven years old, fucking playing video games and shit,
like eating fucking candy to like fucking what midnight, and shit,
(14:58):
it's a weekend and all that. This was around October though,
this was around like Jenna Halloween ere you know. So
it was just like it's always like staying up on
the weekends, boys having sleepovers and shit. It was cool.
So then my dad picked me up from the sleepovers
to take me home, and I don't know, like we
had watched like a bunch of like scary movies and shit,
and like during that time, like I was just ten
(15:20):
eleven just thinking about like damn, like I just watched
the girl's head get fucking split open. You know, I'm saying,
I'm like, damn about to go home right now. And
I know my dad was going to the gym too.
He had told me he's like I'm about to drop
you off and go to the fucking gym. You know,
guys always lifting fucking dumbbells. You know, he's like fucking
fifty seven years old. Shout out, pops. But anyways, guy's
killing it. So he drops me to the he drops
(15:41):
me to the flat where and he drops me to
like the he drops me to the crib and it's
like he's like, the door's already opened, just just open
the door. And I'm like, okay, cool. He peels off,
you know, like out of parents, bro, Like in terms
of driving, like they peel off mad quick. So this
gives me no fucking time. Like by the time I
open the door and I look behind me, he's gone,
(16:01):
Like I'm like, oh shit, our house is actually creepy
as fuck the way it's set up. So the inside
is super nice because we renovated the inside, but the
outside of the house is like, bro, just think of
like wooden creek, Like I'm talking about like bricks, Like
the house is off of brown bricks, you know. The
fucking porch is like kind of wooden a little bit.
(16:24):
There's like some rocking chairs and shit. I don't know
how to explain it, bro, but it was literally what
you see out the movies. Just like the very outside
of the house. It looks like fucking shit. Inside of
the house, it's nice as hell. So I'm sitting there
and I'm looking like fucking walking up the steps it's
like this, it's like stone steps. And then the fucking
the front the front porch is just like the wood
(16:46):
and shits, I'm stepping on I'm hearing creeks as soon
as a foot my foot on the on the wood
and sit and then the door is like how do
I say? So, it's just a it's a regular door
you could see through like the It's like one of
those ones. It has like a little window in the
middle of it. It's not just the it's just the door.
So I don't know how to describe it. But it
(17:07):
just looked super haunted and shit in my in my opinion,
you know, at this point, I'm like also mad tired,
so like that's also why I'm walking up the stairs
Matt slow, but just like because I saw the door
kind of already like open a little and I was
just I don't think my dad realized it when he
told me to open the door. So I'm walking in
slowly me, well, the fuck's the door open? You know,
(17:27):
I had I'm just thinking why is it open? Like
what this is confusing? So like I walk in and
mind you we have a light like it was also creepy,
is the light that day kept flickering, so we have
an outside light and that shit was on, so it
kept flickering. So as like, I'm opening the door, lights flickering,
and shit, I'm walking in slowly. Now I'm scared of shit.
(17:48):
I walk in the crib and I see the TV on.
All the lights and shut up. But I see the
TV on and I'm like, usually my mom be staying
up and watching TV, like just Turkish movies and stuff
like that, so usually should be up. But I was
like just guessing that she was up. So I went
and I'm like, as if I'm gonna go say hi
to her, there's no one there's The TV is just static,
(18:10):
like just static major in this bitch. And I'm looking
at the TV's just and I'm like at that point,
I just froze. I'm like, fuck, this is mad, weird.
The fuck's going on? You know. I go, I go
to my mom's room, see if she's like sleeping in
the eyes. I'm kick over the doors. She's not there.
The fuck my mom at I'm like, where's she at?
Like this is weird. So my only other person that
(18:32):
would be in the house would be my brother. So
I'm like, okay, I'm looking around for my brother into
his room. Man's not there, Like of course, it's never home.
So I go downstairs because we have an upper level
in a downstairs level. And I go and I go downstairs,
and I'm also hearing the kind of fuck Now, I'm like,
what what's going on? I go down It's like dark
as shit. And at that time, I was scared of
(18:52):
the dark, like I remember, like I couldn't sleep in
the darker. I pissed the bad like I couldn't. So
imagine me walking down the stairs after seeing that shit. Fuck,
if I go upstairs, I'm dead. If I go downstairs,
I'm dead. Fuck a, my dude, I'm like ten eleven
years old. I just came back from a sleepover my boys.
You know I should scary movies. I like, I don't
know what to expect, you know. IM said the door
was already open. I was like, okay, this is kind
(19:13):
of weird, you know what the fuck the door be open?
And then all the static and the TV's and shit.
Fuck no, So I went down and I started walking.
And it's funny because in the when we renovated the house,
there's like little creeks. So when you step on like
the fucking the stairs, you hear the like like little
creeks and shit, and that's already scary enough. So I'm like, fuck,
(19:33):
So I hear the crease scare myself, like damn, go downstairs,
and I still hear the TV from the distance, and
I'm like debating if I should walk in the room.
I'm like, yo, you know what, Like I'm I'm not
like if this was a movie sitting like I'm dying first,
like you know what I mean, Like it's not how
it's supposed to be, So I don't know if I
should just walk in there. So I walk in there
(19:53):
and the TV is just on same thing as the
other one is just and I'm like, okay, first of all,
where's my mom at? Where's my bro at? I'm like,
I don't my bro be out. I'm like my mom at,
like this is the real thing, like my mom fucking
with me. I was in my head like there's no
way my mom's fucking with me, Like what a mother
dude is to the child, like ten eleven years old,
you're trying to let me pull a prank. I'm like, nah, bro,
(20:16):
she wouldn't do this. I'm thinking, like, my bro doing this,
but my bro wasn't even home, so I couldn't even
really custion it. So I try to turn off the
TV with the remote. I can't, and I'm like, why
the fuck can I do that? Like what the fuck?
Like usually when you have a TV, fucking remote supposed
to work with the TV. So I'm ten eleven years old,
try to click. It's not working. I'm thinking. I'm like, okay,
maybe I'm just fucking too far from it. Let me
(20:38):
go closer, and I'm still not working. That shit freaked
me out. That shot went upstairs. I went upstairs and
I'm like, fuck now, let me try the other one gostairs.
I'm like, oh, here's the footsteps, you know, it's just
like going upstairs and shit, I'm like almost falling, tripping
and shit, like scared as fuck. Okay, let me go upstairs.
Try to turn off that TV. And there's two different TVs.
You know, one's bigger, one smaller, the one downstairs more.
(21:00):
But I'm trying to close the fucking upstairs one. It's
not working. I'm like, what the fuck, I'm hitting the butts.
I'm getting fucking mad. I'm like, okay, on, oh shit,
this is not working. I'm like, all right, I start
chipping out, like maybe like the remote is wired wrong,
like maybe it's another button that turns it on. I'm
just I'm ten years old, thinking of like fucking a
(21:21):
million different unrealistic scenarios and are trying every button and
it's not working. What do I Like? I'm like, how
how how am I gonna what? So I'm like going downstairs,
trying the other one, come back upstairs trying that one.
I'm like, okay, this is fucking wild. I turn on
the lights in the house finally. I don't know why
I didn't do that the first time. I'm like, you know,
usually you walk in, you turn on the fucking lights.
But I think I was just so fucking scared. I'm like, yo,
(21:44):
if I turn on the lights, like some bitch gonna
pop out and fucking take my heart out my soul.
Like so I'm like, I'm not gonna do that shit.
I'm just gonna keep it myself. Like I thought that
was a better idea. So I turned on the lights
and I'm like, okay, everything kind of seemed like chill,
you know, like more calm, you know, more with myself,
more in tune with what the fuck going on, because
it's not so dark, Like, okay, it's still going sh
(22:05):
I'm like, fuck, how do I turn this off? Then
I'm like, okay, let me try unplugging it from the wall.
But let me do that shit, you know, I'm let
me just try unplugging it. So I try unplugging it
and it finally turns off, and I'm like, Okay, that's
weird at fuck. I'm like, is the remote broken? I'm like,
it's weird as fucking I opened the back of the
remote and the batteries are there too, so I'm like,
it's not like someone took out batteries. They're trying to
(22:25):
fuck with me, Like the remote clearly had batteries and
is working and shit. So I go downstairs. I did
the same thing, batteries in there. I'm like, Okay, what
are the odds of like both remotes the batteries are
like like burnt out and the remotes not working. I'm like,
what are the odds of that? I'm ten eleven years old, remember,
so in my mind I'm not thinking about that. I'm
thinking about like, oh my gosh static, what the fuck
(22:47):
remotes not working?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Mom?
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Like you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not thinking
about like oh, if the fucking battery life of the
remote is gonna fucking you know, turn on the TV.
So next day and I went to bed at that time,
at that point, it was mean, that was mad, tired.
I had a sugar rush, fucking knocked the fuck out.
Next day, I wake up and it was like the
weirdest like morning, Like I wake up. First of all,
(23:10):
I pissed the bed, got my ass beat about that.
My mom came down.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
You pissed the bed.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well that She's like, you pissed the bed? Why you
pissed the bed? I'm like, Mom, I had a rupt
like no, I'm never letting you go to sleepover again.
Let me Carl Thomas right now. Call my dad, Carl
Thomas right now, Thomas. That was mother. I'm gonna speak
to her. I'm like, fuck man, Jesus Christ, like couldn't
control myself, so fucking go upstairs. And my dad's like
(23:35):
like flipping the eggs and shit. And I don't know why.
Everything just seemed more like like dramatic to me at
that point, like you know, I'm ten eleven years old.
I'm saying, like, fuck, I just had the craziest night.
I pissed the bed, got paid by my mom. Now
I'm upstairs. My dad's just flipping a fucking egg, like
what is this? Like all this shit's happening with me.
I'm like, I don't know how to interpret what's gonna
(23:56):
happen next. It's as if like something's gonna happen later
that night too. It's like it's shadowing like something. So
then I was like good morning. I'm like, oh, good morning.
He's like he's like, when'd you sleep? And I was
like fucking like one am to m. He's like, you
pissed the bed. Huh. I'm like, yeah I did. He's like,
why you pissed the bed? Like the fuck happened? I'm like,
(24:16):
so honestly, TV static fucking remote not working. I said,
I think both remotes are broken. He's like, what do
you mean the remote work today? I'm like, what what
are you talking about? He's like, yeah, look like look
what that look? And He's and I'm like, remember, this
is like fucking six seven hours since I checked the remote.
So I'm like it's working. So I'm moving it and
(24:37):
it's fucking working. Then I got freaked out and I'm
not gonna tell. Remember, I'm not gonna tell my immigrant parents. Yeah,
hey guys, I fucking walked in the house and the
static of the TV was just like just going crazy
and I couldn't turn it off. They're gonna look at
me like are you stupid? Like we just we just
turned on the TV today. So I'm like, okay, I
(24:57):
go downstairs, let me try the other one. And I
tried the other one and it's working too. I'm like,
how the fuck are both of them working? Now? Am
I like tripping out? So I thought I was tripping
out the whole time, the whole day. So then my
brother walks in and at the time I didn't realize
because I was so young, but I remember my brother
(25:19):
walks in. He's just looking at me and he's just
like smiling, and I'm like, are you so happy about?
Like you know, what are you so happy about? And
he's just looking at me like, oh, nothing, you know.
I'm like, where'd you go all night? He's like, oh,
just at a friend's house. You know, it's a weekend.
And he's like We're like the same way you have sleepover.
He's like, I have adults sleep overs and shit. And
I was just like, oh okay, cool, Like you be
(25:40):
here tonight. He's like, I don't know, maybe I will,
maybe I won't. And I was like, oh okay. So
then later that night that came. My dad always goes
to the gym at night, so he always leaves the
house and if my brother's not home, usually my mom's home.
So my mom was home that time this time, so
yesterday I don't know why she wasn't. I never asked her.
I never got around to that conclusion, to be honest
(26:01):
with you, but she was home and it was just
me and her technically lose midnight, my dad always goes
to the Good Life in its fucking twenty four hours.
The guy's always gone for like two hours just working out. Fuck.
I think she's Dayne Johnson and shit. But anyway, it's like,
you know, I'm at the crab alone again and I'm like, fuck, okay,
(26:21):
trying out the fucking TV see if they're working, just
like literally there for like fucking an hour, I swear
to God, just downstairs, just clicking the fucking button, like,
oh shit, is this gonna like fucking not work on
me again. And it was working. Everything was working, but
then something else happened. Ladies and gentlemen. I uh, there's
a side door to my basement, so there's the upstairs
(26:44):
doing the side door. So all I just kept hearing
is knocks on the side door. I'm like, fucking god, bro,
not this shit again. Bro, Like like I just changed
the sheets and shit, fuck got a beating, I'm gonna
get another one. So I opened the door clearly because
I'm like, someone knocked on the door and I opened
(27:05):
it and no one's there.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm like, oh my god, no way, bro.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I'm like, no, shot, this is happening. And I'm just
like saying like hello, like is anyone out here? And
no one said anything. So I close the door again.
As soon as my ass hits the fucking couch, you
hear another knock. I'm sitting there like, oh my god.
You know, okay, you know when my parents asked you
to do chores, you just sat down. They asked you.
(27:28):
They call you again, and you're just like, fuck now
I gotta get up again. It was that feeling I
fucking sit down, just knock on the door I'm sitting
there and I'm like, fuck, get back up, run up
the stairs, open the door. Now I'm pissed off. Like
now I'm like hello, like it was fucking with me,
stopped knocking on the doors. Now I'm pissed off a
little ten year old bro. I had a big mouth. Bro,
(27:49):
you know he pissed me off. I had a big mouth.
I was saying all types of shit. I was like,
you know, the fucking knock on my door again. I
swear to God, I'll slap the shit I was. I
was as hollering and then my mom waits. So she
comes down and she's like she's like, Rony, what do
you what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (28:07):
I'm like what.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
She's like, you look fucking psychotic the fuck away from
the door, yelling at the door. I'm like like, no,
there's someone knock. He's like, what knock? I didn't hear
no knock. I just heard you. And I was like
all right, all right. She's like, go to sleep, go downstairs,
and then then I start hearing some freaky shit. So
then like in the room that I was in downstairs,
(28:28):
there's like a little slider window, so it's not necessarily
a window It's more like like one of those slider
ones where you could slide open and shit. But it
wasn't a huge window, so it was small and it
was at the top of my bed. So I just
keep hearing like like someone as if like they're taking
their nails and just kind of hidden the windows slowly,
like I don't know, it's just weird. It just made
(28:49):
a weird sound. So I'm looking and there's no one there,
but I keep hearing that sound and then I hear
and I just I just hear from this and I
just hear like like like just crazy. I'm like, go,
nah shit, I get up. I'm like nah nah nah
nah nah, and I'm like, oh my god, nah, this
is fucked. So then after that, I just couldn't sleep.
(29:13):
I was up all night. I was upstairs. My dad
comes home from the gym. He's like looking and he's
just like he sees the fucking he sees his pitch
black and it's just kids just sitting there like on TV.
And he's like turns on the light. He's like, the
fuck are you doing. I'm like, Dad, I can't sleep downstairs.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Man.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
He's like why. I'm like, bro, I think you know
I pissed last night. I think I'm a shit this night.
If I sleep down there, it's not gonna it's not
gonna work like this anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Man.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I'm sorry, I might have to move out like this,
Like this house is fucking I don't know who you
bought it from, but there's some voodoo shit going on.
And my dad's like, you know, bro, we're out. They
hear that shit. They're like, you're just being a pussy,
like go downstairs, go to sleep, shut the fuck up,
you know. So he sits with me and he's like
talking to me about it. He's like, what did you hear?
I'm like, bro, first is the TVs? Then the most
(29:59):
not working? He's like, what's wrong with the TV's the
static and shit. And he's like, oh, that's weird. And
I'm like, yeah, it's weird, just the remosts not working.
He's like, yeah, but the most worked today, Like did
you try today? I'm like, yeah, they worked, but last
night they weren't working. He's like, oh, that's odd. And
then downstairs I was just telling like the window and shit,
and then he was just like, well, I think you
just He's like, honestly, I think you just you're hallucinating
(30:22):
or something like there's no way, like you sound crazy
right now, and I'm like, fuck damn, how they're gonna
send me off the fucking therapy and shit, oh god,
they don't even believe in it. But like, you know,
imagine like hearing your ten year old say that. I
at that point like I'd probably just send them off,
you know, just in case, just get the fucking check
up and shit, because it didn't sound real like I understood,
you know. So then the next day I wake up
(30:44):
and then at the time I didn't realize it, but
I was just scared ever since then from like anything
Halloween related, like just my friend would be like, let's
go trick and trip like not fuck that. Fuck that.
Not fuck that. I don't do that. I'll let's have
a sleep that's what. Not fuck that, y'all can watch alone.
I ain't doing that. Fuck that. And I don't think
(31:05):
I ever told anyone about the story because it was
just so like unreal to me that I didn't. I'm like,
I found I felt I felt stupid talking about it.
I'm like, bro, if I'm gonna talk about this ship
to my parents, are gonna say I'm stupid. My brother
thinks I'm dumb. My friends just could think I'm more
dumb because they're they're my age group too, like they're
gonna actually probably believe it a little bit. I might
scare them and shit. So I was like fuck this.
(31:28):
So I was always scared of Halloween, never celebrated Halloween ever,
like ever anytime Halloween came around, didn't even dress up,
bro nothing, Like one time a girl asked me and
class who you're supposed to be. I'm like, bitch myself,
like I'm not, you know what I mean, Like like
I'm not doing that anymore. Even in like when I
got to like high school, like girls would just be like,
let's go on a date on Halloween. Let's watch the
(31:48):
Scared Movies, a new movie. I'm like, not, can't.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
She's like why.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
I'm like I'm just I just can't. It's like it
my ugly. I'm like, nah, it's not that. It's like
you sure like I just did my I'm like nah,
it's not. You just can't do it, can't do it.
So every girl in school thought I had like a
fucking phobia or like something with Halloween where I just
didn't like it. They would always ask me. I'm like, fuck, bro,
now now I'm bitch made at school and shit. So
(32:11):
then I was telling my bro about that. Like I
remember when I got to high school. I was like, man,
these girls are all asking me to go fucking movies,
trigger treating parties for Halloween related and I just can't go.
And he's like why and I'm like, bro, I'm just scared.
He's like why, what the what do you mean you're scared?
He's like, what do you mean only your grown men?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Now?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Like you know what I mean, You're not kid anymore.
I'm like, yeah, I don't think I ever told you.
But like when I was like ten eleven years old,
I remember walking in the cribble one thing. It was
just static, like upstairs downstairs with the TVs, most were
not working. And then he starts laughing, and I'm like
you started laughing? Bro, I'm like, what the fuck are
you laughing at me? Like I'm trying I'm telling a
dead ass story. You laughing at me? He's like at me,
He's like no, because you actually you thought that was real?
(32:53):
And I send them like not fuck off. At this point,
I'm like, bro, at this point. I'm like sixteen years old.
I'm like, fuck up, shit happened five years ago. For
five years. What are you laughing about? Bro? I'm pissed
off now. I'm like, what what's going on? He's like,
He's like, so that day when I kept telling you,
I was at my friend's house. It was me and
my friend pranking you, and I was like, nah, shut up, bro,
(33:15):
I'm like, how did you manage? And I started thinking
about I'm like, wait, a second door was already open,
you know what I'm saying. Or walk in the crib.
I'm like, okay, Well, one thing I didn't understand, Like
how did you Okay, I understand the TV things, but
how did you get to fucking remotes to not work?
It was weird. I'm like, how are they not working?
One day? And the next day the trial was working.
(33:35):
He was like, so I put in like burnt out
batteries within the remote, so then when you tried it
it wouldn't work. And then when you went to sleep,
I switched them out and I switched the batteries on
it so they can work. So he woke up thinking like,
oh shit, the fuck I tried it and I didn't
think that was gonna work on you because you were
a smart kid. But like it worked on you, and
I was like fuck, Okay. The next day, I'm like,
(33:57):
what about the fucking knocking out the window. He's like, yeah,
I literally walked up to the side of your window
and just like knocked up and just said your name
a bunch of times in a girl's voice. I'm like,
that was your voice. He's like yeah, bro, like that
was me, and I was saying you motherfucker. I'm like
five years like, I didn't know no Halloween, no Halloween parties,
no trick or treated, no nothing, no scary movies. I'm
(34:18):
out here pissing the bed until I'm like fucking thirteen
years old. It's not even normal at that point. I'm
like thirteen years old. I'm like, bro, I'm on the
verge of going to high school, puberty, everything. Fourteen fifteen,
I'm still pissing the bed because of you. You traumatized
me that much. After that night of everything going down,
Like I had my cousins shit call my phone saying
come over, let's carve pumpkins. I'm like no, For the
(34:40):
first time in like years, I was usually like yeah,
that's so sick, let's go do it. Because I was
just like, nah, can't do it. They're like why why?
I'm like nah, I just I don't want to car pumpkins.
Like since when do you not want to car pumpkins?
I'm like I don't know, like because I can't go
up on the phone and just say, oh yeah, because
last night fucking TV static pissed myself Like you know
what I'm saying, can't do that, So I just everything
(35:01):
Halloween wise, like my mom, same thing. What type of
can do you want to save to the kids? Like nothing,
I don't give a fuck, Like do whatever you need
to do. I'm not doing it. Oh what are you
dressing up as? I'm like, nah, I'm dressing up as
me myself and I I Am not dressing up No
way to drank Halloween anytime. Like I see somebody dressed
up as Scream Bro, I just I don't know. I
just want to get out the car and just beat
(35:23):
the shit out of them. Like it's just like you
know what I'm saying, Like I'm looking like why the
why the fuck you doing this to me? Bro? Like nah, bro,
this is not allowed, Like you know what I mean
because I never got to part ways with it when
I was a kid, Like I never I can't just
beat up scream, I can't beat the fear. I'm sure
everyone wants to beat the fuck out the fears of
the fear in front of me, kick the living shit
out of it. But all I have to say, if
you have a sibling that's older than you and you
(35:44):
you young, or you have like a younger brother, just
always look out. The fucking older sibling is always on
some fucking fucking shit.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Our journey through this tale of unintended consequence compels us
to reflect on the nature of fear itself, how it
shapes us, defines our realities, and often lurks not in
the dark corners of the world, but in the spaces
we deem safest. Remember, the scariest stories are not always
(36:23):
filled with paranormal entities or curses from beyond, but sometimes
those created by our own hands and our own homes.
So let me ask you, where is it really safe.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
It can never be, we can never.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Do, it can never.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Never to
Speaker 4 (37:11):
