Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, there's Spooky Friends, and welcome to another episode of
story Time with the Scarish Podcast. Oh I'm Rob and
Grace's is Adam Diaz and today we're back. It's been
so long since we've.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Done a story Time, it really has. I was checking.
I think it's been like three months. It's been a minute.
So we have four homegrown whores to share with you.
What's a homegrown horror?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Homegrown horrors are stories tales that you folks have experienced,
whether that be yourself, family member, friends, things like that
you folks actually write out and take time out of
your day to send to us, and we get to
share it with the rest of our spooky community. So
if you guys do have stories, feel free to send
them over to us at our email story Time It's Scarce,
(00:55):
it doesn't matter, it's already done, or you know, through
any of our social media. We love it when you
guys share with us. And a lot of the times
people really enjoy, you know, hearing experiences like that. They've
experienced similar things. They're scared to talk about it because.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know, they don't want people to think they're crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But if other people out there have experienced the same thing,
they don't feel so alone. So we always appreciate when
people share that with us.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Indeed, so yeah, like Robin said, the email address socials,
however you feel most comfortable sending it. Also, let us
know you can share this on the podcast. Some folks
have reached out to us and said, like, don't share
this on the pod. I just wanted to tell someone
they didn't want to tell everyone. And if that's the case,
feel free to do that as well. But either way,
we have four of those that we're going to be
sharing with you today. I believe Robin is going to
(01:42):
be going first.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
All right, So this first story is from Maggie. Maggie,
my guy. This first story is from Maggie, and it
goes like this. I just wanted to start out be
saying I love you guys. We love it to too.
Keep up the good work. I've been listening to you
guys for a couple of years now, and y'all always
made me laugh and get through my work shift. And
many job I don't know if it's like many a
(02:06):
job or like many.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Jobs, like yeah, multiple jobs simultaneously, or have you moved
from job to job? Either way, we're happy. We can
help you get through them.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Uh. Continuing on, well, to cut the crap, I have
three stories of scary and scarish things that have happened
to me. To start up, I grew in a ranch
style home. Grew up in a ranch style home in
Maryland from the time I was one to about eight
or nine years old. The way the house was laid out,
it had an open dining room that led to the kitchen,
then to the laundry room. The only thing separating them
(02:34):
was a wood sliding door. Well, when I was about six,
me and my mom were sitting in the living room
and we started hearing a banging noise coming from the
wood door. At first we thought it was our dog,
so my mom went to go check, pulled open the
door and nothing. So for a few days we thought
it was strange, but let us slip our minds till
(02:55):
one day me and mom were in the kitchen. We
get a strong whiff of vinegar and then the door
started banging again, but still nothing. We looked around and
in the basement and there was nothing. My mom and
I both believe in the paranormal, but to a different degree.
We looked up the last owner of the house and
(03:15):
found she had died of old age in the home.
So the next time it happened, we did the one
thing that would scare Robin, and we talked to it.
Why why.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Go away?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, when you say, like stop that, thanks leave, but like, well,
we had asked if she didn't like the doors closing
the two sides of the house. We never got an answer,
but we did tell her that we would leave it
open only if she stopped banging the doors. She did
stop banging on the doors, but we also would still
smell her when she walked through the house. So I
(03:50):
think her smell is the vinegar smell.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh okay, butiated ghost.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But if you were an older person, things are trying
to stay clean. You know, people use vinegar.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
To I get it. My mom used vinegar to clean stuff.
I hate that smell so much. I smell it just
by you saying the word vinegar.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm like, yeah, all right. So second story here. I
like working night shifts and being by myself a lot.
I question that.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Why you question that? I mean, that's a weird thing
to night shift. Sometimes people like can't sleep at night,
so you'd rather work during the time you're like wide awake,
and then sleep during the time where you hate going
to work.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So I used to work for a resort and we
would have overnight shifts for front desk because you always
had to have somebody at the front counter in case
anybody came in late to check in whatever, and we
had like there are always ghost stories like this back
room here is haunted, or this lobby is haunted. Like
(04:52):
things would be haunted and you would experience it if
you were late by yourself, and only if you were
working late by yourself, gotcha. So to me, the desire
to work night shifts and being by yourself is just
like asking for ghosts, you know, Like I just can't
imagine saying like, yeah, guys, I'll take the overnight shift.
(05:12):
Granted it was a few dollars more to work an
overnight shift, but like, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Get paid that premium, So oh my god, to That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So this time I was working at a gas station
and it was closing time. I had locked the doors,
did my money work, and the last thing I had
to do was stock the cooler. There were two doors,
one separating from the main store. In the back room,
the locks were on the outside and the metal door
to the cooler well. As I was stalking and listening
(05:41):
to y'all, okay, I heard a door close. Fully knowing
that I'm the only one there, I step out and
see the door is shut. The door was locked, and
I could hear whistling on the other side. My first
thought was someone broke into the store. I called my
manager to come get me out of the back room. Oh,
because the lock is on the outside, right. Fuck that dude.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's horrifying. That's in space where there should not be people.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But like, at the same time, it's like ghosts or
horrifying robbery burglar type stuff. Either way, it's scary.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
My mind would immediately jump to there's someone in the store. Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The next morning we went over the cameras and watched
a shadow go to the door and then the door shutting.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
That's fucked up, No fucking thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Scared the hell out of me. I did continue to
work there by myself at night. I don't what I know.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Some people got to keep the job. Bro.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I did come to find out that about a year prior,
the last manager that they had was murdered, murdered behind
the store by her husband and his father's that's like insane.
So it's a female manager then, right, her husband.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And a lot of assumptions. Now, but yeah, there's a
manager and that person's husband and either the husband's father
or their own father.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Well it says by her husband, so the manager.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay, if her husband and his father got I gotta
got I got it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Why those two would team up together and murder them
is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But I'd like to know facts of the case for sure. Yeah,
but yeah, we're not going to get that in this.
Maybe we'll reach out and be like, what were their names?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's yeah, it's just crazy. That's so sad, all right.
My last story, Oh and you have to think that
Maggie has to do all this by herself, right, and
then this person, this previous manager was also female and
got murdered behind I would be so scared.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay, I feel like you're trying to tell Maggie they
need to be more scared.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Anyway, last story. At my last gas station job, I
was almost recruited into a cult. I had just started,
and two guys had walked into the store up to
the front counter, and so I do my best customers
voice and ask how can I help you, gentlemen? They
told me they were looking for their friend. I told
them I'm sorry and that I was new and I
(08:09):
didn't know anyone. They handed me a card with a
smile and said, come join us sometime. But what this
is just bad?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's true. I mean they have a card. Who knows?
It could just be like a Bible thumper trying to
recruit you to church.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, that's true. Looking at the card, it wasn't suspicious,
but the people behind them gave them a weird look.
I told them to have a nice night and they left.
Little did I know that they were part of a
cult that I worked across the street from. It's a
restaurant called the Yellow Deli. There's a lot of messed
up things that they do.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What the fuck what I've never heard of the cult
called the Yellow Deli.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh my god, that scared the fuck out of me.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I forgot that we had the sounds coming through the
wrong speaker. Let me go ahead and change. That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sorry, we have notifications.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
One of them was a ghost notifications and the noises
might not have been working up to this point. So
if that was the case, guys, my bad. Let me
check really fast just to make sure everything's yep. Should
be good. So if the theme song wasn't playing, that's
my fault. I feel like my hair is like flat.
When I look at the side, your hair looks great.
Straight on, it looks fine. So I'm going to rerun
(09:22):
that notification in case the sound didn't play.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
All right. Sorry, not sorry. I love you guys so much.
I wish I could meet y'all. But keep doing what
you're doing. You helped me get through this rough patch
in life. I also have some more stories. If you
guys like to hear them, Maggie, please send them. Yeah,
send them that We love creepy stories. We've definitely had
many a job and have probably experienced some weird things too.
(09:47):
Being from Hawaii, weird stuff used to happen all the time,
so yeah, send us stories.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Working in Blood City, weird stuff used to happen down
there all the time. But wasn't it like rugg say,
I wasn't haunted. It was habited by a lot of
math heads. But yeah, for sure we want to hear
more of it. Thank you for sending us these stories.
They were very very interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
All right, So we're gonna move into the second homegrown
horror of the show, and this one's subject is demons
are messing with my Cousin's friend hashtag things just got real.
It's an intense subject, just saying and it starts out
like this, Hello Robin and Adam.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Hello Hello.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It literally says E L L O. So I'm not
just saying that for funzies. My name is Cassie, and
I think your pot is spooktacular and I adore it.
My story is, in fact, not my story. It is
my cousin's friends story.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've never had the podcast called spooktacular, so.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That's cute, pretty good. Yeah. I always think that the
best stories aren't your story, they're your cousin's friends stories,
because it gives you just enough distance where if you
really want to toss in some fun, bullshit details, go
for it, because then you're gonna You're not even gonna
blame your cousin, You're gonna blame your cousin's friend. So
here we go. My cousin's friend, let's call her Izzy. See,
(11:00):
Izzie is really sensitive to ghosts. So in college, in
her dorm, her dorm mate was going through a breakup.
She enters the dorm, does a little small talk, then
heads to her room. When she locks the door, Izzy
starts to hear what her dorm mate bawling her eyes out.
Then fifteen minutes later she exits and goes to the bathroom.
Izzy asked if she was okay, and she said yes.
(11:20):
Why Her face was clear, her eyes didn't look puffy
or red like how they do when you've been crying NonStop.
Izzy just brushed it off and said to herself that
it might have been some drunk girl crying after a party.
That's honestly pretty smart. I mean, I've not been to
a party in college without at least one drunk girl
crying for some reason, okay or dude. Next was when
Izzy was left only sleeping in her dorm and then
(11:43):
she heard the noise of silverwork crashing onto the floor.
Might I say that Izzie was a heavy sleeper, so
it had to be really loud. She went to go check.
I mean silver a falling on the floor usually makes it. Yeah,
like you drop one fork and it's like the whole
house fucking here is it?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I have done that in the morning before getting ready
for work, yep, I know, and it's just a fork
or a spoon for making my coffee or something.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
If it was a TV show and you had audio
from our bedroom and the kitchen, you'd hear the fucking
fork fall whatever it was that made all the noise,
and then you'd hear me in the bedroom going Jesus
Christ because I can't sleep all right, so we're gonna
move on now. She went to go check and saw
all the silver as she owned on the floor. But
the most scary ish part was that knives were stabbed
(12:26):
through the wall and it wasn't even a dragwall. That's
kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Killed knives in wood or something.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, it's gotta be would because there's no way it's
brick or like concrete, because a knive would break. A
knife would break. When she told her dorm mate, they
said that she probably did this and that she is
just messing with them.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That is cold blooded.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
But my cousin believed her. Shout out to my cousin Abby,
and they started looking for houses for Izzy to stay at,
because she definitely couldn't stay at that killer dorm. Kill
Her dorm sounds like a really nice dorm, but in
this context, it definitely is not. They found a perfect
place where it wasn't wrecked and was more modern looking
and was a walking distance from the college. The landlord
came out and told her the precautions of the house,
(13:04):
et cetera. But when she was telling her this, Izzy
looked as pale as a ghost. Abby said, are you good,
and Izzy responded, I see a Wiji board. The landlord
asked if she believed in that stuff, and she replied, yes,
that's actually what she wants to move. Izzy left that place,
but then said that the Wigi board was moving, so
I guess the Wigi.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
War was the planchet was moving on the Wiji.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Board, torrifying. I hope that was scaries for you both.
Keep on creeping on, love, Cassie m Slash You're day
one bestie. Well, thank you so much for sending that.
It's kind of crazy. Definitely had some cousins friends details
in there, like at the end where it's like the
planchet is moving on its own. A lot of dorms,
especially in the United States that I visited, all have
stories about how parts of them are haunted.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
A lot of schools on the East Coast especially, I
think because they're older.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
West Coast, because people on the East Coast are full
of shit. No West Coast you hear to hear folks
Robin called you guys full of shit. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
West Coast colleges don't have as many haunted campus stories
as East Coast colleges, where like this entire dorm has
like these ghosts. It's because there was so much more
that happened on the East Coast, all the wars, things
like that that happened on the East Coast that didn't
necessarily you're not going to see a campus in California.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're making a case that there's more ghosts on the
East Coast and the colleges.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
In the colleges because the land is like more covered
in more blood than the West.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The per capita of ghosts in the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Because there's a lot of crappy stuff that has happened
on the West Coast. But like when the British and
everything came to America murdered a bunch of keys.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The Revolutionary War was definitely fought on the East coast.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
The Civil War was fought in the most coast.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, So i'd imagine those campuses have many more ghost
stories than we have here on the West.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Keep in mind too, people just make shit up, like
that's important to note. Like, if you watch The Exorcism
of Emily Rose, I think she goes to University of Minnesota.
I can't remember. It's a Midwest northern state university that
she goes to. At university during their tours say like, oh,
this is the dorm that she lived in. Well, Emily
Rose wasn't a real person. It's based off of someone
(15:07):
like Anealse Michelle, who definitely did not go to university.
So that was just a detail for the movie. So
when they do the tour and they're like, oh, this
is her dorm, they're completely fucking lying, That's all I'm saying.
So Okay, some universities, it's just like part of their
tradition to just like toss out of goos story. They
probably heard it from their cousin's friend. But anyways, thank
you so much for sending us your homegun or we
(15:27):
appreciate it. Send us more of vit more. So before
we move into our next story, we are going to
take a really quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And we're back all right onto story number three. This
one is from Ginny goes, Hello, Adam and Robin. Hello,
we're Adam and Robin. I'm Robin. That's Adam.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's true, she's not lying.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I mean, it could be either way. It doesn't really matter. Ginny. Here,
I started listening to your show a couple of weeks
ago and had yet to get caught up, but really
wanted to share some of the experiences with some of
my experiences with the supernatural. Hell yeah, you're more than
welcome to read them on the podcast, which is what
we're doing. Hello, the Spookyish One. Okay, I was a
(16:12):
nanny for a family in Virginia a couple of years ago,
again East Coast.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Robin just talked about Honta, the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
They had three boys that had a Jack and Jill room, which,
for those that don't know, a jack and Jill room
is a room that's two bedrooms connected together by a bathroom.
My younger sister used to have that.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I have friends in high school, maybe the first year
of college, who went to a house party, and at
the house party, they were all upstairs and there was
Jack and Jill bedrooms and there was a bunch of
people on one side, a bunch of people on the
other side, and then the bathroom being used as a bathroom,
and one of my friends, let's call him Jarrett, he
needed the poop, so he went into the bathroom to poop,
(16:53):
and one of my other friends will call him Jaike
to open both the doors that everyone could walk back
through that bathroom between rooms while Jarrett was pooping. Reminds
me of that, and I know he's listening.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You need to give your characters different names, because you've
said you've said their real names on the show so
many times. Everyone knows I never talked about Mike.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
God.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Okay, anyway, this reminds me of the freaking Letter Kenny
episodes where it's like, oh, you know, cousin, our cousins,
blah blah blah, and they're like, Jarrett, no, Garrett, Oh yeah, anyway,
The older two boys room was fine, never had any
issues with it, but the baby's room was a different story.
(17:45):
There was one of those built in closets in the
corner that scared all of us. If you turned your
back to it, you felt like something was staring at you,
and if you kept your back to it long enough,
it felt like something was standing behind you, waiting the
room was always cold, even in the summer, and felt
like there was something wrong with it. The baby would
wake up screaming almost every night, and when we would
(18:08):
check on him, he would be standing in his crib
staring at the closet.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I would like to point out the person who wrote
this wrote the baby and capitalized the being baby, which
makes it kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I would like to see the baby, dude. No, okay,
children one already scare me. Children that see things in
the dark even worse. It's like one of our topics
that get talked about the most are the black eyed children.
That's It's like a mix of the things that freak
(18:40):
me out the most.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's so funny because when I told that story, I
pointed out how it was probably fake, and how lots
of people have said it was fake, including the person
who wrote it. And I still get so many people
that are like that episode fucked me up, man, and
I'm just like, it's the most not be real.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The second oldest boy started having night tears where he
would just scream for ten to fifteen minutes before quote
unquote waking up crying and soaked and sweat. This house
is haunted. What the heck is it the children that
are haunted or the house it's Virginia. It could be
the house we just watched Poulter Guys too, and the
new one.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The original one is so fucking good. I forget how
good of.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Them that the original one is very good. The second
one tries to be like the original but doesn't even
come close. We watch horror movies all the time, even
when it's not Halloween. Even though last night I did
put on Halloween. She did nothing besides the nightmares and
creepy feelings. Happened before we moved, but the whole house
was just sketchy, So it could be the house that
(19:39):
they moved into. The funny one to us anyway. The
story wise, this next story, this is the tale of
our creepy hallway friend tattling on my little sister. So
I'm imagining this is a ghost that lives in the
house that somehow tattled on. Guineas just got Genny's sisterh
(20:00):
my gosh, so Jenny's sister right. A little background info.
Our parents room is upstairs and all us kids sleep downstairs.
Sorry Robin, but it's a nice basement. I can admit
some basements are finished.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Basements can be super nice.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Finished basements can be nice, but some of them are
still dark as hell and absolutely horrifying. Like your friend
will name him John, even if you add a J,
it's still John.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
John.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
His basement was very nice. Yeah, and I had no
problem sleeping in that basement.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
There's a corner of the basement that's not so finished,
which is still it's just like a regular basement. That's
where the demons lurked.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But my older sister's basement, oh yeah, is haunting as hell.
And I was like, I'm not going down there. You
guys can do the laundry. I'm not Nope, I'm good.
You know, no, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's not an excuse that for Robin to not do laundry.
She does laundry.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm just not gonna go into your basement to do it.
And it's on the East coast, so haunted as fluck. Okay,
So our parents' room is at the end of this
hallway that has always creeped us out if we go
upstairs in the dark. We never look into the hallway anyway.
One morning, our mom asked us if we had tried
to wake her up last night. We all said no. Fuck.
(21:18):
She said she woke up around two to three am
because she thought someone was peeking through the bedroom door
and whispering, Mom, Mom, fuck that dude. No, okay, I no,
I'm just like ed. Having kids is a blessing. But
at the same time, but that's something that would happen,
(21:42):
your kid poking their head into your room while you're
dead asleep.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Kids don't. Yes, they walked right next to the bed
and wait for you to wake up, and they're like, hey,
that's even Yeah, it's way worse.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Fast forward a couple nights later, and my little sister
had snuck out again. At two thirty am, our mom
came bursting into our room, demanding to know where my
little sister was. What a knock? We called her, and
she rushed home and got in trouble of course, sucker.
(22:16):
When we asked Mom why she checked on us, she
said she woke up to someone or something leaning over
her in bed and whispering, Mom, wake up. What the fuck?
It freaked her out enough to get up and check
on the kids, finding the youngest missing. So, yeah, my
little sister got tattled on by the hallway ghost slash entity.
(22:38):
It has never happened again and the hallway is still creepy.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's fuck. I'd be so mad.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Maybe they learned their lesson and just didn't sneak out again.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I'd be like, if I'm fucking grounded, I'm staging this
entire house, like get out, all.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Right, second spookyish story? So this is the third story
that this is the second scary one.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I live in southern Utah, about ten miles away from
the Navajo Reservation. Oh shit, I have had a couple
quote unquote sightings of skin walkers.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh I kept skin walkers are serious business. I don't
They got hate mail for me when we did the
Skinwalker episode because I wasn't scared enough people. Look know
what Adam took that shit we got lightly he should
be scared. Skin Walker's a scary I was like, bro,
I was scared. I just don't like cry. On the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We got an email from someone that was a lot
of different skin walker stories that we didn't share, but
it was absolutely, like, really scary. We weren't supposed to
share it. That's why you probably don't remember, but I
read the whole thing and it was incredibly scary.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I usually read that we read them together and then
we craft to reply together. That's weird.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, it was very scary. This was like years ago.
It's got to be like seven years ago. Anyway. I
kept rabbits in a below ground level hutch and woke
up one morning to them all dead with their next
burk and lined up in a perfect row next to
the opening of the hutch.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
That's an animal that's fucked up.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
No animal I know of will do that. And the
dogs who freak out when people get close to the
house never made a sound. I have also heard one
of I have also the sound of a skin walker,
the skin of a killer bella. I have also heard
one screaming at night while I was working the night shift.
(24:29):
It screamed for about ten minutes. I imagine that's a skinwalker screaming,
getting closer and closer to my work much faster than
an animal could, and then going quiet and starting up
again further away, and eventually stopping completely. Great times. You
know what videos I really enjoy are the videos about
like the Appellachian Appalachian Mountains and like the weird stuff
(24:52):
that happens there. Those are absolutely fascinating. That's what vibes
I get from that story is just weird stuff happens
out there that you just can't explain.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Whenever I hear Skinwalker, though, I picture like Arizona desert y, yeah, region,
which I think is like nearby. I mean, this is something.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I hope everything made sense and that you like the stories.
My mom has a weedy board story. If you're interested,
I'm always interested.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I'm they're gonna say my mom is a Wigi board
if you want to be like, no story.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yes, I love listening to you guys, and you keep
me company when I'm working. Keep up the good work, Ginny,
thank you so much for sending that to us. Yeah,
send us the Wiji board story. Skin Walker stuff freaks
me out. I think it's very scary that weird stuff
that happens in the desert and in the woods, and the.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Idea of a creature pretending to be human to lure
you to it is horrifying. Yeah, it's scary, and although
I don't think about it often, it might play a
factor in my just normal rejection of human interaction. Like
if I were like today, I went out and I
did some errands, like I got my haircut, I went
and got like water, and if I were getting water
and there was like someone standing nearby like, hey, man,
(25:59):
you want to talk to go to be I'll be like,
fuck no, you might be a skin walker, and then
I'd walk away because you never know. And also I
don't need any more friends, man, I don't. No, no, no, no,
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So he says that, but if you guys wanted to
be friends with him, he would make friends with you.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
My friendly for sure. Yeah, it's a lot easier to
make friends online because I don't have to go anywhere
with them. I worry about them murdering me. Anyway, Jenny,
thank you so much for sending us your story, and
please get that story if your mom, have her write
it herself or write it for her, and then maybe
you guys can listen to it together. Yeah that'd be dope. Okay,
(26:36):
So we're gonna move into the last homegrown horror of
the show, and this one starts out, Hi, Robin, Adam,
and everyone else, Hello Clarice. Everyone else has to say
hello Clarice. My name is Kristen and I've been listening
to the podcast for a few months now since it
was recommended to me by Spotify. Shout out to Spotify.
Thanks Spotify. I love the variety you bring to the show,
(26:57):
between storytime episodes to the research topics. Look forward to
listening as I get ready in the morning. I was
raised heavily Christian, and even though I'm not very religious anymore,
I do believe in demons. I have so many stories
I could tell, but I'll try to narrow it down
to just one for now.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Fuck yeah, more stories, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
To give a little backstory, my mom was born and
raised in the Philippines during a time when Catholicism and
witchcraft still had some amount of interplay within the culture.
This is written really well. I need to pause just say,
oh my god. Am I just delighted and reading this.
She lived in a smaller village in the southern region.
Her mother was a practicing healer, and her grandmother was
essentially a practicing witch. My mom was raised mostly Catholic,
(27:35):
but she always carried a darkness with her since she
was a child.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
She suffered multiple traumas as a young child that set
her on a difficult path that continues to this day.
This is where I believe the demons nestled their claws
in her life.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
This is an intense story.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah. I remember being very young, like two to three
years old, and she was somewhat happy. However, she never
really acted like the normal loving mom. As my three
siblings and I got older, she became withdrawn and depressed.
She would sleep nearly twenty four hours a day and
only woke randomly throughout the week to attempt to clean
her cook It was honestly much like theod In before
(28:09):
Gandalf takes him off.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, that's exactly what I was picturing.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's so weird.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Good like yeah, okay, for those that I have never
seen our favorite person ever right now, if you've never
watched Lord of the Rings, guys, like, it's such a
good comparison because it's just the way you can see,
like thee weighed down by the darkness and it's like
draining the life.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Out of him.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna keep going. Some days I would go
to her room to check on her, and she would
ask me to lay down with her. Sometimes it felt
like we were connecting, but there are other times I
deeply regretted going in there. She would start telling me
a story that seemed like she was making it up
on the spot, but then her voice would change into
a demonic half whisper, half growl that chilled me to
the bone.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Gool, so yeah, this story is just wow.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Dread would wash over me, and it felt like all
the color drained from the room. I would cry and
beg her to stop talking in that voice, but it
only encouraged her to keep going. I felt like it
wasn't her at all. She would claim to be a
demon or a river spirit and loom over me as
she spoke. Unfortunately, I'm a freeze instead of flight or fight,
(29:17):
so I never had a strong enough will to get out.
I would endure the voice and close my eyes until
she stopped talking and would suddenly switch into a normal
voice to tell me she was tired and needed a nap.
That somehow sparked enough willpower for me to jump up
and leave her room. I can't explain why I kept
going to a room after even one experience, but I
thought I needed to be there for her. I'm convinced
she's someone haunted by demons, as I have observed things
(29:38):
that plague her life. I have so many stories about
her almost unliving me and my siblings, But I'll keep
it vague since that may be too dark for this.
Despite everything, I love my mom and I will always
try to help her. I also have more stories of
the darkness I believe I've inherited from her, but I'll
save those for another time. Anyway, Thanks for reading, and
I'll share a photo of my braddy omen baby bummy
(30:01):
boomy bummy be you am I to hopefully lighten things up.
Thanks so much, Kristen. And the dog is absolutely ador
so cute and it reminds us of my cousin's dog
named Domma. Just very very cute, very happy, such a happiness.
Use the creatures to have in your life to like
hold back the darkness. So I also want to point out, like, well,
a story like this, I understand when you're writing it
(30:24):
and you say things like, oh, I have so many
stories going through a memory like this and fleshing it
out based off of like how it happened, it makes
you not want to continue writing, you know what I mean.
It's like I'll send in more later. This is one
of those where I totally get if you want to
like pause before you go, and it's it's reliving trauma,
and even if it's not reliving trauma based off of
(30:45):
stuff from the past or like things that you're worried
about presently or in the future. It's not that easy
to write about. So thank you so much for sending
that in. I think a lot of people have things
like this in their life where it's like this really
fucking creepy thing happened to me growing up, and I
think about it a lot, and I wonder if it's
like attached itself to me type of thing. I think
about this a lot with different things that have happened
in my life.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You definitely have a lot of trauma.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, so yeah, thank you for sending this in. It's very,
very creepy. It's perfect for spooky seasons. Well, it sucks
that we took so long to read it, but I'm
happy that we're finally reading it. Yes, and definitely send
us more when you're ready, because we want.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
To hear it. Yeah, it's crazy how many there are
a lot of people out there that have experiences like this,
very similar to this, where they have a family member
that seems to be like affected by something you can't
necessarily understand or or whatever, and you don't know what
(31:41):
to do with it. You don't know how to handle it,
and all you can do is be there for that person.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
You know, I have a brother whos schizophrenic, and he
has said some of the craziest, most like soul shattering
stuff you could ever imagine a person you love saying.
So this one was just like, it really resonated very
wrongly with me. But yeah, like it's just if it
wasn't so horrifying in the content or the delivery, the
(32:07):
fact that it's like this person that you deeply love
that you need to be there for doing it is
like just an extra level of like that sucks. Yeah,
So either way, thank you for sending us the picture
of the dog the light in the mood. Yeah, no
one else can see them. But he's a good boy.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Eat little boy, all right, good girl.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I don't know, it's hard to tell.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's hard to tell. Yeah, good dog, good dog. All right.

I in
Hey, there's Spooky Friends, and welcome to another episode of
story Time with the Scarish Podcast. Oh I'm Rob and
Grace's is Adam Diaz and today we're back. It's been
so long since we've.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Done a story Time, it really has. I was checking.
I think it's been like three months. It's been a minute.
So we have four homegrown whores to share with you.
What's a homegrown horror?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Homegrown horrors are stories tales that you folks have experienced,
whether that be yourself, family member, friends, things like that
you folks actually write out and take time out of
your day to send to us, and we get to
share it with the rest of our spooky community. So
if you guys do have stories, feel free to send
them over to us at our email story Time It's Scarce,
(00:55):
it doesn't matter, it's already done, or you know, through
any of our social media. We love it when you
guys share with us. And a lot of the times
people really enjoy, you know, hearing experiences like that. They've
experienced similar things. They're scared to talk about it because.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know, they don't want people to think they're crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But if other people out there have experienced the same thing,
they don't feel so alone. So we always appreciate when
people share that with us.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Indeed, so yeah, like Robin said, the email address socials,
however you feel most comfortable sending it. Also, let us
know you can share this on the podcast. Some folks
have reached out to us and said, like, don't share
this on the pod. I just wanted to tell someone
they didn't want to tell everyone. And if that's the case,
feel free to do that as well. But either way,
we have four of those that we're going to be
sharing with you today. I believe Robin is going to
(01:42):
be going first.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
All right, So this first story is from Maggie. Maggie,
my guy. This first story is from Maggie, and it
goes like this. I just wanted to start out be
saying I love you guys. We love it to too.
Keep up the good work. I've been listening to you
guys for a couple of years now, and y'all always
made me laugh and get through my work shift. And
many job I don't know if it's like many a
(02:06):
job or like many.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Jobs, like yeah, multiple jobs simultaneously, or have you moved
from job to job? Either way, we're happy. We can
help you get through them.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Uh. Continuing on, well, to cut the crap, I have
three stories of scary and scarish things that have happened
to me. To start up, I grew in a ranch
style home. Grew up in a ranch style home in
Maryland from the time I was one to about eight
or nine years old. The way the house was laid out,
it had an open dining room that led to the kitchen,
then to the laundry room. The only thing separating them
(02:34):
was a wood sliding door. Well, when I was about six,
me and my mom were sitting in the living room
and we started hearing a banging noise coming from the
wood door. At first we thought it was our dog,
so my mom went to go check, pulled open the
door and nothing. So for a few days we thought
it was strange, but let us slip our minds till
(02:55):
one day me and mom were in the kitchen. We
get a strong whiff of vinegar and then the door
started banging again, but still nothing. We looked around and
in the basement and there was nothing. My mom and
I both believe in the paranormal, but to a different degree.
We looked up the last owner of the house and
(03:15):
found she had died of old age in the home.
So the next time it happened, we did the one
thing that would scare Robin, and we talked to it.
Why why.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Go away?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, when you say, like stop that, thanks leave, but like, well,
we had asked if she didn't like the doors closing
the two sides of the house. We never got an answer,
but we did tell her that we would leave it
open only if she stopped banging the doors. She did
stop banging on the doors, but we also would still
smell her when she walked through the house. So I
(03:50):
think her smell is the vinegar smell.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh okay, butiated ghost.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But if you were an older person, things are trying
to stay clean. You know, people use vinegar.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
To I get it. My mom used vinegar to clean stuff.
I hate that smell so much. I smell it just
by you saying the word vinegar.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm like, yeah, all right. So second story here. I
like working night shifts and being by myself a lot.
I question that.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Why you question that? I mean, that's a weird thing
to night shift. Sometimes people like can't sleep at night,
so you'd rather work during the time you're like wide awake,
and then sleep during the time where you hate going
to work.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So I used to work for a resort and we
would have overnight shifts for front desk because you always
had to have somebody at the front counter in case
anybody came in late to check in whatever, and we
had like there are always ghost stories like this back
room here is haunted, or this lobby is haunted. Like
(04:52):
things would be haunted and you would experience it if
you were late by yourself, and only if you were
working late by yourself, gotcha. So to me, the desire
to work night shifts and being by yourself is just
like asking for ghosts, you know, Like I just can't
imagine saying like, yeah, guys, I'll take the overnight shift.
(05:12):
Granted it was a few dollars more to work an
overnight shift, but like, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Get paid that premium, So oh my god, to That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So this time I was working at a gas station
and it was closing time. I had locked the doors,
did my money work, and the last thing I had
to do was stock the cooler. There were two doors,
one separating from the main store. In the back room,
the locks were on the outside and the metal door
to the cooler well. As I was stalking and listening
(05:41):
to y'all, okay, I heard a door close. Fully knowing
that I'm the only one there, I step out and
see the door is shut. The door was locked, and
I could hear whistling on the other side. My first
thought was someone broke into the store. I called my
manager to come get me out of the back room. Oh,
because the lock is on the outside, right. Fuck that dude.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's horrifying. That's in space where there should not be people.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But like, at the same time, it's like ghosts or
horrifying robbery burglar type stuff. Either way, it's scary.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
My mind would immediately jump to there's someone in the store. Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The next morning we went over the cameras and watched
a shadow go to the door and then the door shutting.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
That's fucked up, No fucking thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Scared the hell out of me. I did continue to
work there by myself at night. I don't what I know.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Some people got to keep the job. Bro.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I did come to find out that about a year prior,
the last manager that they had was murdered, murdered behind
the store by her husband and his father's that's like insane.
So it's a female manager then, right, her husband.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And a lot of assumptions. Now, but yeah, there's a
manager and that person's husband and either the husband's father
or their own father.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Well it says by her husband, so the manager.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay, if her husband and his father got I gotta
got I got it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Why those two would team up together and murder them
is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But I'd like to know facts of the case for sure. Yeah,
but yeah, we're not going to get that in this.
Maybe we'll reach out and be like, what were their names?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's yeah, it's just crazy. That's so sad, all right.
My last story, Oh and you have to think that
Maggie has to do all this by herself, right, and
then this person, this previous manager was also female and
got murdered behind I would be so scared.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay, I feel like you're trying to tell Maggie they
need to be more scared.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Anyway, last story. At my last gas station job, I
was almost recruited into a cult. I had just started,
and two guys had walked into the store up to
the front counter, and so I do my best customers
voice and ask how can I help you, gentlemen? They
told me they were looking for their friend. I told
them I'm sorry and that I was new and I
(08:09):
didn't know anyone. They handed me a card with a
smile and said, come join us sometime. But what this
is just bad?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's true. I mean they have a card. Who knows?
It could just be like a Bible thumper trying to
recruit you to church.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, that's true. Looking at the card, it wasn't suspicious,
but the people behind them gave them a weird look.
I told them to have a nice night and they left.
Little did I know that they were part of a
cult that I worked across the street from. It's a
restaurant called the Yellow Deli. There's a lot of messed
up things that they do.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What the fuck what I've never heard of the cult
called the Yellow Deli.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh my god, that scared the fuck out of me.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I forgot that we had the sounds coming through the
wrong speaker. Let me go ahead and change. That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sorry, we have notifications.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
One of them was a ghost notifications and the noises
might not have been working up to this point. So
if that was the case, guys, my bad. Let me
check really fast just to make sure everything's yep. Should
be good. So if the theme song wasn't playing, that's
my fault. I feel like my hair is like flat.
When I look at the side, your hair looks great.
Straight on, it looks fine. So I'm going to rerun
(09:22):
that notification in case the sound didn't play.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
All right. Sorry, not sorry. I love you guys so much.
I wish I could meet y'all. But keep doing what
you're doing. You helped me get through this rough patch
in life. I also have some more stories. If you
guys like to hear them, Maggie, please send them. Yeah,
send them that We love creepy stories. We've definitely had
many a job and have probably experienced some weird things too.
(09:47):
Being from Hawaii, weird stuff used to happen all the time,
so yeah, send us stories.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Working in Blood City, weird stuff used to happen down
there all the time. But wasn't it like rugg say,
I wasn't haunted. It was habited by a lot of
math heads. But yeah, for sure we want to hear
more of it. Thank you for sending us these stories.
They were very very interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
All right, So we're gonna move into the second homegrown
horror of the show, and this one's subject is demons
are messing with my Cousin's friend hashtag things just got real.
It's an intense subject, just saying and it starts out
like this, Hello Robin and Adam.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Hello Hello.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It literally says E L L O. So I'm not
just saying that for funzies. My name is Cassie, and
I think your pot is spooktacular and I adore it.
My story is, in fact, not my story. It is
my cousin's friends story.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've never had the podcast called spooktacular, so.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That's cute, pretty good. Yeah. I always think that the
best stories aren't your story, they're your cousin's friends stories,
because it gives you just enough distance where if you
really want to toss in some fun, bullshit details, go
for it, because then you're gonna You're not even gonna
blame your cousin, You're gonna blame your cousin's friend. So
here we go. My cousin's friend, let's call her Izzy. See,
(11:00):
Izzie is really sensitive to ghosts. So in college, in
her dorm, her dorm mate was going through a breakup.
She enters the dorm, does a little small talk, then
heads to her room. When she locks the door, Izzy
starts to hear what her dorm mate bawling her eyes out.
Then fifteen minutes later she exits and goes to the bathroom.
Izzy asked if she was okay, and she said yes.
(11:20):
Why Her face was clear, her eyes didn't look puffy
or red like how they do when you've been crying NonStop.
Izzy just brushed it off and said to herself that
it might have been some drunk girl crying after a party.
That's honestly pretty smart. I mean, I've not been to
a party in college without at least one drunk girl
crying for some reason, okay or dude. Next was when
Izzy was left only sleeping in her dorm and then
(11:43):
she heard the noise of silverwork crashing onto the floor.
Might I say that Izzie was a heavy sleeper, so
it had to be really loud. She went to go check.
I mean silver a falling on the floor usually makes it. Yeah,
like you drop one fork and it's like the whole
house fucking here is it?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I have done that in the morning before getting ready
for work, yep, I know, and it's just a fork
or a spoon for making my coffee or something.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
If it was a TV show and you had audio
from our bedroom and the kitchen, you'd hear the fucking
fork fall whatever it was that made all the noise,
and then you'd hear me in the bedroom going Jesus
Christ because I can't sleep all right, so we're gonna
move on now. She went to go check and saw
all the silver as she owned on the floor. But
the most scary ish part was that knives were stabbed
(12:26):
through the wall and it wasn't even a dragwall. That's
kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Killed knives in wood or something.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, it's gotta be would because there's no way it's
brick or like concrete, because a knive would break. A
knife would break. When she told her dorm mate, they
said that she probably did this and that she is
just messing with them.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That is cold blooded.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
But my cousin believed her. Shout out to my cousin Abby,
and they started looking for houses for Izzy to stay at,
because she definitely couldn't stay at that killer dorm. Kill
Her dorm sounds like a really nice dorm, but in
this context, it definitely is not. They found a perfect
place where it wasn't wrecked and was more modern looking
and was a walking distance from the college. The landlord
came out and told her the precautions of the house,
(13:04):
et cetera. But when she was telling her this, Izzy
looked as pale as a ghost. Abby said, are you good,
and Izzy responded, I see a Wiji board. The landlord
asked if she believed in that stuff, and she replied, yes,
that's actually what she wants to move. Izzy left that place,
but then said that the Wigi board was moving, so
I guess the Wigi.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
War was the planchet was moving on the Wiji.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Board, torrifying. I hope that was scaries for you both.
Keep on creeping on, love, Cassie m Slash You're day
one bestie. Well, thank you so much for sending that.
It's kind of crazy. Definitely had some cousins friends details
in there, like at the end where it's like the
planchet is moving on its own. A lot of dorms,
especially in the United States that I visited, all have
stories about how parts of them are haunted.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
A lot of schools on the East Coast especially, I
think because they're older.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
West Coast, because people on the East Coast are full
of shit. No West Coast you hear to hear folks
Robin called you guys full of shit. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
West Coast colleges don't have as many haunted campus stories
as East Coast colleges, where like this entire dorm has
like these ghosts. It's because there was so much more
that happened on the East Coast, all the wars, things
like that that happened on the East Coast that didn't
necessarily you're not going to see a campus in California.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're making a case that there's more ghosts on the
East Coast and the colleges.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
In the colleges because the land is like more covered
in more blood than the West.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The per capita of ghosts in the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Because there's a lot of crappy stuff that has happened
on the West Coast. But like when the British and
everything came to America murdered a bunch of keys.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The Revolutionary War was definitely fought on the East coast.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
The Civil War was fought in the most coast.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, So i'd imagine those campuses have many more ghost
stories than we have here on the West.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Keep in mind too, people just make shit up, like
that's important to note. Like, if you watch The Exorcism
of Emily Rose, I think she goes to University of Minnesota.
I can't remember. It's a Midwest northern state university that
she goes to. At university during their tours say like, oh,
this is the dorm that she lived in. Well, Emily
Rose wasn't a real person. It's based off of someone
(15:07):
like Anealse Michelle, who definitely did not go to university.
So that was just a detail for the movie. So
when they do the tour and they're like, oh, this
is her dorm, they're completely fucking lying, That's all I'm saying.
So Okay, some universities, it's just like part of their
tradition to just like toss out of goos story. They
probably heard it from their cousin's friend. But anyways, thank
you so much for sending us your homegun or we
(15:27):
appreciate it. Send us more of vit more. So before
we move into our next story, we are going to
take a really quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And we're back all right onto story number three. This
one is from Ginny goes, Hello, Adam and Robin. Hello,
we're Adam and Robin. I'm Robin. That's Adam.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's true, she's not lying.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I mean, it could be either way. It doesn't really matter. Ginny. Here,
I started listening to your show a couple of weeks
ago and had yet to get caught up, but really
wanted to share some of the experiences with some of
my experiences with the supernatural. Hell yeah, you're more than
welcome to read them on the podcast, which is what
we're doing. Hello, the Spookyish One. Okay, I was a
(16:12):
nanny for a family in Virginia a couple of years ago,
again East Coast.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Robin just talked about Honta, the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
They had three boys that had a Jack and Jill room, which,
for those that don't know, a jack and Jill room
is a room that's two bedrooms connected together by a bathroom.
My younger sister used to have that.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I have friends in high school, maybe the first year
of college, who went to a house party, and at
the house party, they were all upstairs and there was
Jack and Jill bedrooms and there was a bunch of
people on one side, a bunch of people on the
other side, and then the bathroom being used as a bathroom,
and one of my friends, let's call him Jarrett, he
needed the poop, so he went into the bathroom to poop,
(16:53):
and one of my other friends will call him Jaike
to open both the doors that everyone could walk back
through that bathroom between rooms while Jarrett was pooping. Reminds
me of that, and I know he's listening.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You need to give your characters different names, because you've
said you've said their real names on the show so
many times. Everyone knows I never talked about Mike.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
God.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Okay, anyway, this reminds me of the freaking Letter Kenny
episodes where it's like, oh, you know, cousin, our cousins,
blah blah blah, and they're like, Jarrett, no, Garrett, Oh yeah, anyway,
The older two boys room was fine, never had any
issues with it, but the baby's room was a different story.
(17:45):
There was one of those built in closets in the
corner that scared all of us. If you turned your
back to it, you felt like something was staring at you,
and if you kept your back to it long enough,
it felt like something was standing behind you, waiting the
room was always cold, even in the summer, and felt
like there was something wrong with it. The baby would
wake up screaming almost every night, and when we would
(18:08):
check on him, he would be standing in his crib
staring at the closet.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I would like to point out the person who wrote
this wrote the baby and capitalized the being baby, which
makes it kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I would like to see the baby, dude. No, okay,
children one already scare me. Children that see things in
the dark even worse. It's like one of our topics
that get talked about the most are the black eyed children.
That's It's like a mix of the things that freak
(18:40):
me out the most.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's so funny because when I told that story, I
pointed out how it was probably fake, and how lots
of people have said it was fake, including the person
who wrote it. And I still get so many people
that are like that episode fucked me up, man, and
I'm just like, it's the most not be real.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The second oldest boy started having night tears where he
would just scream for ten to fifteen minutes before quote
unquote waking up crying and soaked and sweat. This house
is haunted. What the heck is it the children that
are haunted or the house it's Virginia. It could be
the house we just watched Poulter Guys too, and the
new one.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The original one is so fucking good. I forget how
good of.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Them that the original one is very good. The second
one tries to be like the original but doesn't even
come close. We watch horror movies all the time, even
when it's not Halloween. Even though last night I did
put on Halloween. She did nothing besides the nightmares and
creepy feelings. Happened before we moved, but the whole house
was just sketchy, So it could be the house that
(19:39):
they moved into. The funny one to us anyway. The
story wise, this next story, this is the tale of
our creepy hallway friend tattling on my little sister. So
I'm imagining this is a ghost that lives in the
house that somehow tattled on. Guineas just got Genny's sisterh
(20:00):
my gosh, so Jenny's sister right. A little background info.
Our parents room is upstairs and all us kids sleep downstairs.
Sorry Robin, but it's a nice basement. I can admit
some basements are finished.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Basements can be super nice.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Finished basements can be nice, but some of them are
still dark as hell and absolutely horrifying. Like your friend
will name him John, even if you add a J,
it's still John.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
John.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
His basement was very nice. Yeah, and I had no
problem sleeping in that basement.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
There's a corner of the basement that's not so finished,
which is still it's just like a regular basement. That's
where the demons lurked.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But my older sister's basement, oh yeah, is haunting as hell.
And I was like, I'm not going down there. You
guys can do the laundry. I'm not Nope, I'm good.
You know, no, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's not an excuse that for Robin to not do laundry.
She does laundry.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm just not gonna go into your basement to do it.
And it's on the East coast, so haunted as fluck. Okay,
So our parents' room is at the end of this
hallway that has always creeped us out if we go
upstairs in the dark. We never look into the hallway anyway.
One morning, our mom asked us if we had tried
to wake her up last night. We all said no. Fuck.
(21:18):
She said she woke up around two to three am
because she thought someone was peeking through the bedroom door
and whispering, Mom, Mom, fuck that dude. No, okay, I no,
I'm just like ed. Having kids is a blessing. But
at the same time, but that's something that would happen,
(21:42):
your kid poking their head into your room while you're
dead asleep.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Kids don't. Yes, they walked right next to the bed
and wait for you to wake up, and they're like, hey,
that's even Yeah, it's way worse.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Fast forward a couple nights later, and my little sister
had snuck out again. At two thirty am, our mom
came bursting into our room, demanding to know where my
little sister was. What a knock? We called her, and
she rushed home and got in trouble of course, sucker.
(22:16):
When we asked Mom why she checked on us, she
said she woke up to someone or something leaning over
her in bed and whispering, Mom, wake up. What the fuck?
It freaked her out enough to get up and check
on the kids, finding the youngest missing. So, yeah, my
little sister got tattled on by the hallway ghost slash entity.
(22:38):
It has never happened again and the hallway is still creepy.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's fuck. I'd be so mad.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Maybe they learned their lesson and just didn't sneak out again.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I'd be like, if I'm fucking grounded, I'm staging this
entire house, like get out, all.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Right, second spookyish story? So this is the third story
that this is the second scary one.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I live in southern Utah, about ten miles away from
the Navajo Reservation. Oh shit, I have had a couple
quote unquote sightings of skin walkers.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh I kept skin walkers are serious business. I don't
They got hate mail for me when we did the
Skinwalker episode because I wasn't scared enough people. Look know
what Adam took that shit we got lightly he should
be scared. Skin Walker's a scary I was like, bro,
I was scared. I just don't like cry. On the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We got an email from someone that was a lot
of different skin walker stories that we didn't share, but
it was absolutely, like, really scary. We weren't supposed to
share it. That's why you probably don't remember, but I
read the whole thing and it was incredibly scary.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I usually read that we read them together and then
we craft to reply together. That's weird.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, it was very scary. This was like years ago.
It's got to be like seven years ago. Anyway. I
kept rabbits in a below ground level hutch and woke
up one morning to them all dead with their next
burk and lined up in a perfect row next to
the opening of the hutch.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
That's an animal that's fucked up.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
No animal I know of will do that. And the
dogs who freak out when people get close to the
house never made a sound. I have also heard one
of I have also the sound of a skin walker,
the skin of a killer bella. I have also heard
one screaming at night while I was working the night shift.
(24:29):
It screamed for about ten minutes. I imagine that's a skinwalker screaming,
getting closer and closer to my work much faster than
an animal could, and then going quiet and starting up
again further away, and eventually stopping completely. Great times. You
know what videos I really enjoy are the videos about
like the Appellachian Appalachian Mountains and like the weird stuff
(24:52):
that happens there. Those are absolutely fascinating. That's what vibes
I get from that story is just weird stuff happens
out there that you just can't explain.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Whenever I hear Skinwalker, though, I picture like Arizona desert y, yeah, region,
which I think is like nearby. I mean, this is something.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I hope everything made sense and that you like the stories.
My mom has a weedy board story. If you're interested,
I'm always interested.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I'm they're gonna say my mom is a Wigi board
if you want to be like, no story.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yes, I love listening to you guys, and you keep
me company when I'm working. Keep up the good work, Ginny,
thank you so much for sending that to us. Yeah,
send us the Wiji board story. Skin Walker stuff freaks
me out. I think it's very scary that weird stuff
that happens in the desert and in the woods, and the.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Idea of a creature pretending to be human to lure
you to it is horrifying. Yeah, it's scary, and although
I don't think about it often, it might play a
factor in my just normal rejection of human interaction. Like
if I were like today, I went out and I
did some errands, like I got my haircut, I went
and got like water, and if I were getting water
and there was like someone standing nearby like, hey, man,
(25:59):
you want to talk to go to be I'll be like,
fuck no, you might be a skin walker, and then
I'd walk away because you never know. And also I
don't need any more friends, man, I don't. No, no, no, no,
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So he says that, but if you guys wanted to
be friends with him, he would make friends with you.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
My friendly for sure. Yeah, it's a lot easier to
make friends online because I don't have to go anywhere
with them. I worry about them murdering me. Anyway, Jenny,
thank you so much for sending us your story, and
please get that story if your mom, have her write
it herself or write it for her, and then maybe
you guys can listen to it together. Yeah that'd be dope. Okay,
(26:36):
So we're gonna move into the last homegrown horror of
the show, and this one starts out, Hi, Robin, Adam,
and everyone else, Hello Clarice. Everyone else has to say
hello Clarice. My name is Kristen and I've been listening
to the podcast for a few months now since it
was recommended to me by Spotify. Shout out to Spotify.
Thanks Spotify. I love the variety you bring to the show,
(26:57):
between storytime episodes to the research topics. Look forward to
listening as I get ready in the morning. I was
raised heavily Christian, and even though I'm not very religious anymore,
I do believe in demons. I have so many stories
I could tell, but I'll try to narrow it down
to just one for now.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Fuck yeah, more stories, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
To give a little backstory, my mom was born and
raised in the Philippines during a time when Catholicism and
witchcraft still had some amount of interplay within the culture.
This is written really well. I need to pause just say,
oh my god. Am I just delighted and reading this.
She lived in a smaller village in the southern region.
Her mother was a practicing healer, and her grandmother was
essentially a practicing witch. My mom was raised mostly Catholic,
(27:35):
but she always carried a darkness with her since she
was a child.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
She suffered multiple traumas as a young child that set
her on a difficult path that continues to this day.
This is where I believe the demons nestled their claws
in her life.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
This is an intense story.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah. I remember being very young, like two to three
years old, and she was somewhat happy. However, she never
really acted like the normal loving mom. As my three
siblings and I got older, she became withdrawn and depressed.
She would sleep nearly twenty four hours a day and
only woke randomly throughout the week to attempt to clean
her cook It was honestly much like theod In before
(28:09):
Gandalf takes him off.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, that's exactly what I was picturing.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's so weird.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Good like yeah, okay, for those that I have never
seen our favorite person ever right now, if you've never
watched Lord of the Rings, guys, like, it's such a
good comparison because it's just the way you can see,
like thee weighed down by the darkness and it's like
draining the life.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Out of him.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna keep going. Some days I would go
to her room to check on her, and she would
ask me to lay down with her. Sometimes it felt
like we were connecting, but there are other times I
deeply regretted going in there. She would start telling me
a story that seemed like she was making it up
on the spot, but then her voice would change into
a demonic half whisper, half growl that chilled me to
the bone.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Gool, so yeah, this story is just wow.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Dread would wash over me, and it felt like all
the color drained from the room. I would cry and
beg her to stop talking in that voice, but it
only encouraged her to keep going. I felt like it
wasn't her at all. She would claim to be a
demon or a river spirit and loom over me as
she spoke. Unfortunately, I'm a freeze instead of flight or fight,
(29:17):
so I never had a strong enough will to get out.
I would endure the voice and close my eyes until
she stopped talking and would suddenly switch into a normal
voice to tell me she was tired and needed a nap.
That somehow sparked enough willpower for me to jump up
and leave her room. I can't explain why I kept
going to a room after even one experience, but I
thought I needed to be there for her. I'm convinced
she's someone haunted by demons, as I have observed things
(29:38):
that plague her life. I have so many stories about
her almost unliving me and my siblings, But I'll keep
it vague since that may be too dark for this.
Despite everything, I love my mom and I will always
try to help her. I also have more stories of
the darkness I believe I've inherited from her, but I'll
save those for another time. Anyway, Thanks for reading, and
I'll share a photo of my braddy omen baby bummy
(30:01):
boomy bummy be you am I to hopefully lighten things up.
Thanks so much, Kristen. And the dog is absolutely ador
so cute and it reminds us of my cousin's dog
named Domma. Just very very cute, very happy, such a happiness.
Use the creatures to have in your life to like
hold back the darkness. So I also want to point out, like, well,
a story like this, I understand when you're writing it
(30:24):
and you say things like, oh, I have so many
stories going through a memory like this and fleshing it
out based off of like how it happened, it makes
you not want to continue writing, you know what I mean.
It's like I'll send in more later. This is one
of those where I totally get if you want to
like pause before you go, and it's it's reliving trauma,
and even if it's not reliving trauma based off of
(30:45):
stuff from the past or like things that you're worried
about presently or in the future. It's not that easy
to write about. So thank you so much for sending
that in. I think a lot of people have things
like this in their life where it's like this really
fucking creepy thing happened to me growing up, and I
think about it a lot, and I wonder if it's
like attached itself to me type of thing. I think
about this a lot with different things that have happened
in my life.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You definitely have a lot of trauma.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, so yeah, thank you for sending this in. It's very,
very creepy. It's perfect for spooky seasons. Well, it sucks
that we took so long to read it, but I'm
happy that we're finally reading it. Yes, and definitely send
us more when you're ready, because we want.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
To hear it. Yeah, it's crazy how many there are
a lot of people out there that have experiences like this,
very similar to this, where they have a family member
that seems to be like affected by something you can't
necessarily understand or or whatever, and you don't know what
(31:41):
to do with it. You don't know how to handle it,
and all you can do is be there for that person.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
You know, I have a brother whos schizophrenic, and he
has said some of the craziest, most like soul shattering
stuff you could ever imagine a person you love saying.
So this one was just like, it really resonated very
wrongly with me. But yeah, like it's just if it
wasn't so horrifying in the content or the delivery, the
(32:07):
fact that it's like this person that you deeply love
that you need to be there for doing it is
like just an extra level of like that sucks. Yeah,
So either way, thank you for sending us the picture
of the dog the light in the mood. Yeah, no
one else can see them. But he's a good boy.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Eat little boy, all right, good girl.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I don't know, it's hard to tell.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's hard to tell. Yeah, good dog, good dog. All right.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That's everything we have for this episode of Storytime. I
was gonna say scaryish, but yeah, Storytime specifically. Yeah, thank
