Speaker 1 (01:00):
If you guys hear any weird scratching noises, it could
be part of the story or it just could just
be our dog's or.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Robin's computer's been making weird noises lately. I got to
pop that thing open and see what I can do.
So fun times. All right, So for this episode of Storytime,
we do have four stories. Three of them are fairly
long ish, not crazy long or anything like that, and
one of them is short, and we're going to start
out with the short one, which I'm gonna take. This
one's subject is I have a story for you. Guys
in parentheses, share this on the show, Okay, appreciate it

(01:28):
when you're letting us know you can share on the show.
And the story goes like this, Hello, Hello, Hello, and.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Everyone else you got to say it like how you
say hello, Hello.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Cladies everyone else out there say hello in a really
creepy way too. My dad shared the story with me
the other day. I've been listening to the show for
the last year and I'm still trying to get caught up.
We do have a substantial backlog we do.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
This, but this is from this year, so yeah, you
have a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
This one came in actually in March, so it is.
I think we have like including the ones we're about
to read eight or nine in the pipe, so we'll
have enough for another story Time here soon, which is great,
but I'm gonna keep going, so they're still trying to
get caught up. My dad is a truck driver and
he gets to see stuff all over the States. But
this story is a bit creepy. My dad was driving

(02:11):
down to Phoenix, Arizona, and mind you, it's around three
in the morning. He was driving down the road close
to Skinwalker Ranch and he saw a deer on the
side of the road. He said it was standing on
its hind legs and its head was facing the road
like watching traffic. At first, he was like, what the fuck,
And he started to think about it and he said
to me, this doesn't add up. The more he thought

(02:32):
about it, the more it scared him. I said him,
it could have been a skin walker and he said
that's also what he was thinking. Keep on creeping on.
Love you guys, and have a good day. First of all,
thank you for sending in your story. Second, we have
a lot of folks that listen to us that are
like truck drivers, and they reach out to us let
us know the crazy shit that they've seen. And man,
it is like universal. For all the truck drivers that
reached out to us, we've never had a truck driver

(02:54):
reach out and been like, I've never seen anything creepy.
There's always a story.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I feel like. We do get a lot of stories
too about like I swear.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
With a skinwalker or like the black Dog like that too. Yeah,
we get a lot of stories about that. So thank
your dad for sending the story into. We really appreciate it.
And there's a lot of folks out there with stories
just like that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Absolutely. I mean, hey, if you know something, if you've
heard something, if someone's told you a story, share with us.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah. This is a see something, say something community. This
isn't the snitches get stitches community. We are high on
snitch energy here.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
What is the thing that they say on the tube
on the underground, on the tube where they repeat it
all the time?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I thought I was see something say something?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's something?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Uh see it say it? Sort of? Yeah, yes, that
was just like we heard it so many times. That
was living in my memory somewhere. So AnyWho, thank you
for sending it in.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
All right. So this next email, the title is sleep
Proleson's possibly Cursed bedframe question mark. All right, So it
goes hello literally, it says hello, Hello, it's your girl.
Crystal from Salem. I have more stories to share with
a scaryish fam.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I think Crystal might be in the chat right now.
What I'm pretty sure this is the one who sent it.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Welcome. I feel like with all my stories it may
feel fake, too crazy to be true. But when you
have been alive for thirty four years, I guess that
much can happen in your life. I wholeheartedly agree. I'm
thirty five and sometimes my friends are shocked by how
many jobs I've had.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm forty and are young people like I remember what
dialup sounds like. Still, I remember what life was like
before dial up, before the Internet, and before cell phones.
You're full of shit. I'm like Google. When Google started.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
We have somebody who works with us who is incredibly young,
like incredibly young, doesn't know what dialup sounds like.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Wow, it's yeah. I didn't realize how old man of
an old man I am now because we were watching
a horror movie and they were like, oh, here's some
high school teens getting killed, and then like a cut
to one of the high school girls like gen Z
going into the shower and like taking off her toll.
Was like, what the fuck, she's a child. Dude, this
is disgusting. And I was like, oh, I forget that.
Like every everyone apparently loves barely legal boobies, and I

(05:13):
was like, I got so upset that this high school
girl was about to show her tits. And I'm like,
holy fuck, I'm so old. It didn't occur to me
when this happened, but it did apparently. So I heard
a podcast or someone talk about how like their attraction
has shifted the older they've gotten to people that match
their age, and I was like, oh, that's interesting. And
I realized in that moment, like that is me. Oh
my god, I.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Feel like I've always been like older people.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Please, Like you know, she you never wanted me to
have a mustache before, and I shaved down to one
as a joke and she was like keep it, and
I was like, I don't know what to do, and
I ran in there and shaved it.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
So but like, well, you know me, I'm like, damn,
HOWI long? Yeah, let's do that Pedro Pascal, Yeah, let's
do that.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Pedro looks better and better at the time. Yep, let's
get back.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
To That's like damn okay. Anyway, Adam's like, let me
cut all that out. I mean the past ten years,
I have lived in three different states without being in
the military, which is crazy. So onto my stories. First
one is my sleep paralysis story. I've experienced sleep paralysis

(06:16):
in the past, but it was mostly just unable to
move and feeling heavy weight on my chest. I always
thought I must be just in that state of being
awake and asleep at the same time, that's all. But
the last one I experienced was before I moved to Massachusetts,
and it was the most intense sleep paralysis I ever had.
So I've always hated sleeping in complete silence and darkness.

(06:39):
Team night light Hell yeah, I have a night light
on my side of the bed and Adam does not.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, silence. I agree with darkness, though. I am fine
that they give me a coffin with a fan in
it and I will be so happy.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
The irony of my nightlight, though, is that it is
a haunted house and the light is green.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah it looks eerie sometimes.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, it's like a haunted house has bats and stuff
on it. I have a problem, but I need light,
some sort of light source, you know, So I would
always sleep with a video playing in the background. That's
my younger sister. Sometimes Rain Noise a documentary crime docs.
But since I play it on my YouTube, of course
other videos start playing between smash or swoop docs about drama,

(07:17):
things to crime or whatever comes up. So that night,
while my husband was out working graveyard and I had
been packing most of the day, I was just too
tired to even play a video. I did have my
pretty low lights on, but I had completely knocked out
that night. I was sleeping on my side, but felt
a heaviness on me, like it was pushing me down
like before, but I experienced something new. I was feeling

(07:40):
my head being pushed down, like it was making sure
I could not move at all. I tried and tried
to move, but no luck. Carter, No, Oh my god.
Adam's on this weird kid right now. He's learning. He's
learning about the book talk TikTok, like I.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Get sent so many reels of BookTalk stuff from someone
else on this podcast. Of course I'm learning.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Then the screaming started. The best way to describe it
was screaming ban cheese. It was horrible, Like when I
think about it, it sends chills down my spine. I've totally
experienced this type of thing before. During that time, I
started to get mad, like, bitch, how dare you fuck
with me? I'm dead. I tried to talk. I tried
to talk to it, but it was like a mumble.

(08:23):
I was trying to say fuck you, get away from me,
but then the screaming started to say ha ha, you
can't tell me what to do. You want them, which
scared me but got me even more mad. So I
tried to move even more and almost yell to it
well as much as I could. I'll show you, fucker,
I can't. I can't even imagine. When I bat like

(08:43):
scari stuff happens to me, my brain doesn't immediately go
into yeah, it's I'm just like yeah, I'm like, get
me out of here, you know, Okay. Then I got up,
like I almost jumped out of bed. I was breathing
rapidly like I was running. I looked over the bed
and around the room. Nothing looked out of place from
when I went to bed. But the one thing that

(09:04):
got me was my phone was playing a video, which
threw me off because I know I locked my screen
and I know it was off when I went to sleep.
The thing was it was playing a video from a
podcast called lights Out, which was covering a haunting. Not
sure which one exactly, but I only remember that video
because I remember the hosts were talking about how they

(09:26):
thought their set was haunted and they were being affected,
like getting sick and hearing things move around on the set.
Let's say, I haven't really watched their videos for a
while now since that happened, as.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
A very Zach Baggins feel to it. But I also
am a person who has a protection from evil charm
on my microphone, so yeah, maybe get one of those.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
So the next story is about my brother's possibly cursed bedframe. Eventually,
all bedframes become cursed at one point or another. What
the fuck?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I thought, that's what you were getting at.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
So much. You spend so much of your life in bed,
and so many people die in bed, and so it's like,
if someone died in a bed to me immediately haunted.
There's no way cursed can't cursed. So this is what
the same brother who also got bit by the poltergeist. Okay,

(10:23):
so from the beginning, our oldest brother got this wood
unique bed frame. I wonder if it means antique with
antique unique, I don't know either way. He had it
for about two to three years, and when we moved,
he said he wanted a new setup. So he asked
my brother Kenny bite Boy, if he wanted the bed
frame and bed. Imagine just calling your brother bite boy.

(10:46):
It was free, so of course Kenny said yes please.
It would mean he would go from a twin size
bed to a full size. Yeah, of course you would
take it right now. After the move, Kenny had the
bed set up first, of course, and he said that
first night sleeping in the bed, he had a really
bad dream. He didn't really describe it at first, but

(11:07):
he brushed it off. Over time, he kept getting nightmares.
He said it was getting worse. Again, he didn't really
describe it, but finally he said it was about demons.
He would talk about it mostly with my mom. He
finally thought it may have been related to the bedframe,
so he took out the bed frame. He kept the
bed itself and the box brings, so the mattress. He

(11:27):
kept the mattress the box spring. After he removed the
bed frame, no more nightmares.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
We have no idea why he had the nightmares and
the older brother had. Nothing happened to him. Again, I
think it has to do with the fact he used
to be a minister. But that's just the theory, a
scaryish theory. So I think this email will make more
sense since I typed it out on a computer versus
the phone that I used for my last two emails.
I'm sorry for the last two emails having programmers and nah,

(11:53):
you're good if I don't remember it. What else? But
I don't remember anything. I'm still going through my backlog.
I'm currently on episode ninety five and.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I just love it. Thank you, Thank.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
You again for doing what you do. It really makes
me happy to hear you guys, especially when I still
haven't made a lot of friends, any real friends outside
of work. You know what, man, the older we get
to identify with that, the older we get, the harder
it is to have any friends outside of work. Yeah,
all my friends, I tell my my my I was
gonna say friends, my co workers slash friends this all
the time. I'm like, you guys are my friends. I
don't really, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I tell my coworkers all the sudden, you guys are
not my friends. You are only co workers. The only
reason I'm charming and fining to you is because I
don't have anyone else to talk to, and they think
I'm joking. I'm not.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Keep on creeping on, Crystal. Thank you so much Crystal
for your story. I'm sorry that time's annoying.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Hard to make friends, man, it really is. The older
you get, it's hard to find people that are worth
your time and going out of your way to find people.
When you, you know, your responsibilities of life start to
overwhelm you a little bit more than they used to
in your twenties and especially your teens. You know, it's
it's not as easy.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
So yeah, yeah, all the when I make plans to
do things outside of work, it's with my coworkers again.
And then it's just like you see them for forty
hours a week and then you hang out with them. No,
that's not true.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, because you come home, we're together for like four
or five hours and we go sleep.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I see you all Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
No, because you sleep almost all the Friday and I
work during Friday, so we're in different rooms. We really
see each other. I don't even recognize it. Sometimes it
scares me. I'm just like, who's this person in the house?

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Anyway, Thank you yeah, thank you for sending that.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
It was a really good email. Very much appreciate your
sharing your stories with us. The idea that you could
have an object past from one person or the other
and one person's affected in it by it in a
way that the other person wasn't is bizarre. So I
do buy into your theory that it might be because
they were a minister or something that leads them to
be like more perceptible.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
That is not the first story that we've had where
that happens either. We've had stories before where one person
is affected somebody else, say that sleeps in the room
or or lived in a house nothing ever happened. I
kind of like Anaheim Amityville Horror, the people that moved

(14:11):
into that house afterwards, nothing ever happened to me, right,
And so it's it's things like that happen. Sometimes it's
attached to a person. I mean, your bite boy, Kenny, right,
was already bitten by a poultry. Guys, maybe it's just his.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I don't know if you've seen Dan to Dan the anime,
but like, but you have these people have this energy
that attracts these weird things to happen to them. So
maybe it's something like that, I don't know, or it
could be.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
That your brother that gave the bed frame cursed it
just as a fucking joke. That's something that my brother
would do for sure. Wow. So I mean I would
probably do that to a couple of my friends to
be like, hey, how's your dreams? Late brother?

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Anyway, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
So before we move into our next story, we are
going to take a really quick commercial break and we're back.
So we're gonna go ahead and move into the third
story of this episode. And this one is its subject
is from me because these were sent to us on Instagram.
Jackie reached out to us on Instagram and sent us
some stuff and I copied, paste it into an email

(15:21):
and sent it over. So it just says stories from
Jackie and it starts out like this, Hello Robin and Adam. Hello, Hello,
I started listening to your podcast and I'm currently on
the Creepy Twins episode, so I do this thing.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
That's likely let's pretty early on the Creepy Twins.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, that's really early on. Whenever I'm around our friends
from the JJ Obsession or my cousins who are twins.
If twins are ever brought up. I'm like, you gross
just to be a dick.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
So he doesn't actually think twins are gross, not at all.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's just a funny joke. So I give that to
you to use around your twins friends. Continuing on with
the email, I found you all on Spotify. Shot at
Spotify during a drive from North Carolina to Texas long drive,
and I continued listening ever since. I was reaching out
to suggest doing military horror stories. If excuse me, military
horror stories. I'm not sure if you guys have an
episode on this yet, but military barracks are super haunted

(16:11):
because of the high.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Suicide shut the front door.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
There's also training they do in the middle of the
California desert where a lot of military members claim to
have encountered skin walkers and other spooky things.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I could see that because we kind of encroach on everything.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, you know, oh, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
And there has to be some places that are secret.
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
My mom went on a bike ride and wound up
like crossing over military base and like men in black
showed up. They're like, get the fuck out of there.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, she she was like, oh, it looks like a
turtle sanction.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
She was looking for a turtle sanct where they're like,
there's no turtles.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
It goes to this building and there's just a bunch
of computers and stuff inside, and they were just like.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's so weird, gotta go. We gotta have her back
on this.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's so funder If did she already tell the story.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Maybe I don't think she told me on the show. No,
So AnyWho, I myself have had a few encounters in
the barracks that I would like to share it. If
you guys are interested in the topic. Thank you for
what you do. I'm glad to see you guys are
still continuing the podcast into twenty twenty five. We are. Indeed,
we've had a few folks from the military actually come
on the show and talk about stuff that they've had.
We had Rerat come on and he had a really
good story about going into like an ammunitions bunker that

(17:16):
was horrifying. So we definitely would love to do more
of it and maybe just compile it into a topic. Obviously,
send in your stories so you want to hear more.
But there is stories that they did share now that
we're going to jump into. So I first entered the
military in twenty twenty. Wow, I was stationed in Camp
La June, North Carolina. It was my first that's where
my brother was for his training. So oh, I've been

(17:38):
to the same place, not always, but it's definitely one
of the places that a lot of folks did. It
was my first week in the fleet. In parentheses, fleet
is where you go after you're done with pipeline training,
and my roommate was on leave, so it was just
me and my room for references for reference, the rooms
are pretty small, kind of like a studio apartment with
a shared bathroom and a closet for you and your roommate.
I'll send a picture of the layout for reference. I

(17:59):
had just gone thrifting with my only friend I had
for the seats. We had gone through the schoolhouse together
in a city nearby and bought some small trinkets and candles.
I lit one of my candles and headed off to bed.
We blow our candles out before bed, just because I'm
convinced if we don't, our house is burned out.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah. Yeah, that's a big fear for me.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah. I woke up, but I was terrified to open
my eyes because I heard whispering and muttering around my
back pass it was your candle black? And did it
burn with a black flame? Because I'm pretty sure I've
seen a movie called hocus Pocus that talks about this.
I'm just kidding. I actually had a black flame candle
one of my D and D games, and it was
so fun to use. But this reminds me of it
a lot. So I was terrified because I knew nobody
else could possibly be in the room with me. However,

(18:39):
I could see shadows walking in front of the candle
light behind my clothes.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
No, no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I tried convincing myself it was just sleep paralysis until
I realized I could really move my toes and fingers.
Pause here, when you're trying to convince yourself at sleep prolysis,
I think what you're really trying to convince yourself is
I'm hallucinating. Yeah, I'm in a dream state where I
know I'm awake, but I'm still kind of dreaming. And then,
knowing that you have control of your body, you're like, oh, yeah, okay, unpause.

(19:04):
Unfortunately for me, as soon as I did that, I
heard sh You're going to wake her up? No no, no,
directly at the foot of my bed then immediately put
me into flight or fight mode. So I shot up
from my bed ready to defend myself, only to realize
no one else was in the room with me, and
my blanket flew off my body and landed on the OA.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh horrifying.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I was completely terrified, but I had nowhere to go
since I was new and didn't have any friends yet.
I ended up having to pick my blanket up off
the floor, do a quick prayer, and then went back
to sleep. I lived in that room for a couple
of months before I moved to another floor. Friends I
had over would always tell me how uncomfortable the room
made them and how they would constantly wake up hearing
the door knob being rattled. No, and my restroom light

(19:48):
would flicker on and off while I was asleep. The
light was motion activated, and you would have to push
a button for it to be able to shut off
before the timer turned it off. Fluk, that's horrified. No
freaking way, it's really well written. By the way, I
haven't done any editing on this, so it's very refreshing
that it's so well written. I'm originally from Washington State.
We lived in a pretty old neighborhood. When I was

(20:10):
about twelve, my father went to prison and there was
a very dark ore in the home afterwards. It was
a huge shift in the family dynamic, and I feel
like that energy attracted a lot of negative things to
the house. First, it started off with small things like
a blow dryer turning on by itself, a curtain fluttering,
hearing footsteps and loud bangs around the house. Eventually we
started seeing shadowy figures and my mom would get really

(20:31):
bad sleep paralysis. She would say that she felt like
it was someone sitting on her chest. The strange part
about that was I would randomly wake up in the
middle of the night and go to her room and
shake her awake, to which she would ask how I
knew she was having sleep paralysis. Wow, that's fucking awesome.
Good job wait to be a hero as a young
kid and as an adult. Thank you for your service.

(20:52):
A few weeks after that, there was still small things
happening around the house. My sisters and I were watching
a scary movie in the living room when our bed
room door slammed shut and we heard loud thunks in
our room. Our mom was I seriously think and this
is something that, like I've thought about a lot, creepy
stuff happens when you're watching horror movies so often and
people in that like that heightened state of fear, and
it's so easily dismissed where it's like, oh, you're watching

(21:14):
a horror movie and you're afraid. Of course you made
something out of nothing. But if your fear is something
that an entity can feed off of, it's like you're
just giving it energy by watching a movie through entertainment,
and it's like, oh shit, I got all this energy.
What am I gonna do with this. I'm gonna go
trash their fucking room, That's what I'm gonna do. So
it's like, if an entity feeds off fear and you're
watching horror movies for entertainment, it's like, maybe start watching

(21:34):
different movies. All right, I'm gonna keep going here, all right.
Our mom wasn't there because she had gone out with
her friends for the for the weekend, so we had
no adults to handle the situation. My older sister was
too scared to check, and my little sister was about
two to three years old at the time, which made
her pretty useless during this situation. Heck, I went and
grabbed a knife from the kitchen. That's good because it
could be an intruder, and then walked up to my

(21:56):
bedroom door. I gathered all the courage I had and
opened the door, and then the bedroom light on. When
I opened the door, I saw all of our lotions
and perfumes that were previously on the dresser and nightstand
on the floor, like if someone went in and knocked
everything over. There was no one in the room and
the room was freezing. Hold. We didn't sleep in the
room that night because we were terrified, so we all
slept in the living room.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Sometimes. I don't know where this was, but here in
California at least, we get a lot of earthquakes, Yeah,
we do. And like I don't know if we talked
about it on the podcast or something before, but there
was that one earthquake where it just felt like a jolt,
like a jolt, like someone just pushed the entire house.
And sometimes things like this where everything's knocked off of

(22:41):
one shelf or something. I'm like, could it have been
an earthquake?

Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's yeah, depending on your region, you really have to
take into account environmental factors like that, because like I
was working one day and it felt like someone walked
by and hit my chair. It made my chair move.
I was like, what the fuck? And it really freaked
me out. And my mind then went to like was
that an earthquake? And you can google like did I
just have an earthquake in and then whatever your address
is and it'll tell you like there was an earthquake
near you like seven seconds ago. And I had one

(23:07):
where I messaged Rob and I was like, hey, I
thought someone just bumped into my chair. I thought it
was some paranormal shit. It was actually an earthquake and
you had felt it up at your work.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
At work, Yeah, my whole desk like shook.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, so there's there's definitely certain things where you have
to like wonder about it. They said they're from Washington State.
I don't know how frequently they get earthquakes, but it
is West coast. But this seems much more directed.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, with the door slamming and stuff like.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
That, and then stuff being brushed off of a shelf
for like thrown off of a shelf. So yeah, definitely
a lot of things going on with this one. All Right,
The last part of this email is the last thing
I can remember happening in that old house. Also started
with us watching a scary movie in the living room,
maybe Adam's They Man. I was getting pretty tired, so
I decided to go to sleep. We had a bunk bed,
and I slept on the top bunk. I'm a top

(23:50):
bunk person myself. I like feeling like I'm floating off
the ground.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't want to be bunk with you on the
top bunk.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Why, because I'll crush you collapses. God damn right. I
tucked myself. It's just like black sheep. I tucked myself
in getting ready for bed when I felt the bed
start shaking, like someone was jumping on the bottom bunk.
We just talked about the earthquake theory. This is crazy.
I had left the door of my bedroom open so
I could see the living room light pouring into our bedroom.
I called for I called for my older sister, hoping

(24:19):
that she would respond from the bottom bunk, but she
responded from the living room. I was terrified and asked
if she could please come up to the bedroom and
turn the light on so that I could climb down.
She said absolutely not. After I begged her for a
few more minutes, she did not comply, so I had
to jump off the top bunk. I didn't want to
risk using the ladder to climb down and getting dragged
by whatever was moving the bunk. Yeah, totally matching that instinct. Anyways,

(24:43):
I sprinted into the living room and that's where I
slept for the majority of the time that we lived
in that house. Thankfully, we ended up moving to an
apartment in town and didn't have anything weird happen.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Maybe it was the house that's creepy at the.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
House sounds like a really haunted house scenario, but the
fact they moved into a barrack storm and had similar
shit not I shouldn't even say smilar shit, but other
creepy shit happen to them is like, man, something about
like your luck with like places you're living some or
just like attracting these things to you. Yeah, yeah, like

(25:15):
you were mentioning earlier. It's weird. It's like we're psychic.
We're bringing up all these things before the emails them up.
So thank you for sharing that with us. If you
have more stories, we would absolutely like to hear them.
If you have any friends or family members whould like
to share their stories too, whether or not they're military, Like,
definitely let them know, because I would love to hear
from it, because if you have, you know, siblings that
experienced similar things, I'm wondering from their perspective, how that was.
Like my sister was calling from the bedroom and I

(25:37):
didn't want to go help her, and it turns out
she was having a paranhole experience, for like a volter
guys was attacking her. So that's something I would love
to hear. But one more time, thank you for sending
them in. All right, So moving into the fourth email
and final email of the show, something I did not
notice is that this one says that it's requesting that
I read it. So you're getting three read from me
and only one from Robin, which we can all agree

(25:58):
is sad because she has those wonderful, luscious vocal cords
that we all love to have fill our ear holes.
But this one is from Gracie and it starts out
like this weird request that Adam read the story so
Robin can be properly freaked out. Okay, as more stuff
is revealed, anyway, what up Adam and Robin? What up?
Robin's getting her face looked by a Cordy right now,

(26:21):
all right, so Robin's apparently not gonna say hello. Oh well,
I've got a scary ish, more scary than ish story
for you, something that happened to my mom when she
was in her early time.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh please tell me this is a true crime one
maybe or I don't know, is a ghosts.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
We'll find out, But it starts like this. Nineteen eighty seven,
cats just fucking up. My mom was leaving a party
when a guy to be this person's mom, when a
guy I mean no, I was two in nineteen eighty seven.
I wouldn't have been leaving any parties unless it was
a two year old birthday party where I was shooting there.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
My mom was leaving a party when a guy she
did you weren't even born yet either, was leaving a
party when a guy she didn't know asked for a ride.
Being the overly trusting person she was back then not anymore,
she agreed. He said he was staying in a motel
a few times over, and since it wasn't too far
from where she lived, she didn't think much of it.
During the drive, they made small talk. He was older,

(27:13):
about twenty two years older than my mom. He was
from Arkansas and claimed he'd been visiting friends. I'm not
sure how much personal information my mom shared, but we
live in Indiana. When they got to the motel, she
needed to use the restroom. Who knew. He invited her
inside and she went in. Oh no, as soon as
she walked through the door, he locked it behind me. No,

(27:33):
she used the rest.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
This is going to be some true crime shit, bro,
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
And came back out to find that he had poured
them drinks whiskey ears.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
No, no, no, no, it's fucking no, it's this shit
poured in front of the lady, unless you're trying to
roofy them.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, that's just fucking so creepy. He offered her
a drink, but she declined, saying she still had to
drive home. He insisted she declined again. That's when he got.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Angry, because of course he would, because his his ploy to.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Didn't work. I'm wondering if this is like a true
crime intention here, if this dude just thought he was
gonna get laid. You know, that's where my mind is
right now. Like, oh, she she wanted to come inside,
Like this is this a murder situation. Door, I know,
is this a murder situation or is this the other?
So that's when he got angry. He set the drinks down,
grabbed her by the hair, threw her under the bed,

(28:23):
and started ripping out her blouse.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
She fought him off and ran to the window, trying
to pry it open. He grabbed her again, threw her
back onto the bed, and climbed on top of her.
Then he started strangling.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh this is some true crime shit.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
She fought even harder, managing to pry his hands from
her neck. When he went to strangle her again, she
grabbed his hand, put it in her mouth, and bit
down hard. She bit off the tips of his pointer, middle,
and ring fingers. According to her, biting through flesh is
just as easy as biting in the carrots. Though to
be fair, adrenaline was coursing through her it did crack

(29:00):
her teeth.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Luckily, this is fucking nuts, This is god. Luckily the
room was more on the ground level. The room was
on the ground level. She climbed out the window and
ran good outside. She spotted a car about to pull
out of the parking lot. She ran up to it
pounding on the window. The mail driver seemed willing to help,
but the female passenger hesitated, saying she could be crazy.

(29:23):
I mean, at this point, I imagine she has blood
on her face because she just bit off three fingers.
So yeah, the driver took a second look at my
mom and pointed out the red handprint marks around her neck,
which later turned to bruises. They drove her to the
hospital and she was able to file a police report.
The man wasn't from the area, but they eventually tracked
him down. I was worried that this dude was gonna
get away. Yeah, yeah he was, because like in the eighties,

(29:43):
you could just fucking go into a hotel room and
be like, I'd like to rent this with like a
dollar bill, and I'm gonna give you a fake name.
He was convicted and sentenced to twenty five years in prison,
but that's not where the story ends. Fast forward to
twenty keep going twenty eight, so this would be twenty
years from it. I think like just over twenty Yeah,
twenty one years passed this. My mom and dad were

(30:05):
living in a new Town. It was late spring slash
early summer, and they were cleaning out the garage. They
live in a neighborhood my dad grew up in, so
he knows almost everyone. The very old mister R who
takes his morning walks, the kids riding their bikes, the
couple across the street power walking in the evening. Familiar
faces everywhere. But suddenly a stranger, an older man, stood

(30:25):
at the end of the driveway, staring into the garage
where my parents were cleaning. My mom spotted him and
tried to figure out who he was. Honey, that's not
mister R. Is it. My dad looked over. No, I
don't recognize him. Maybe he's new to the neighborhood. But
the man didn't Only god. Mom got uncomfortable and went
to the backyard. My dad started walking towards the road
to introduce himself, but the man turned and walked away.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh my god, does he have all his finger tips?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
See it jumps forward two years. It was a Friday night.
Oh god. My parents were out dancing with friends, something
they did at least once a month. Older brother was
staying the night at a friend's house, and that left
sixteen year old me home alone. Oh my god, watching movies,
eating junk food. We're one of those stereotypical white families
with a second fridge in the garage. I feel attacked

(31:13):
because I've always had a second fridge in the garage too,
except for right now. Ours was stocked with soda and
other sugary drinks. After finishing my third or fourth Pepsi, naturally,
I went out to grab another. Gotta stay hydrated, am
I Right? Our fridge is right next to the I
was wondering who was keeping Pepsi in business, since I
feel like every person I've ever met only drinks coke,
and now we know. I walked out, grabbed okay, hang on.

(31:35):
Our fridge is right next to the back door of
the garage, and unfortunately, this was before we had a
privacy fence, so anyone could be chilling in the backyard.
You can probably see where this is going. I walked out,
grabbed a soda, and as I shut the fridge door
and turned around, I saw a face damn near pressed
up against the window, peering in right at me. I
screamed and ran inside. Did I call the police? Nah?

(31:57):
We lived around the corner from a bar, and it
wasn't a usual for drunk people to cut through our
yard on their way home. Instead, I made sure all
the doors were locked and sat my ass in the
kitchen counter, where I would have the best advantage and
could access any of the five exits. After a few
attempts at calling my mom, who was undoubtedly in a
loud bar where apparently cell phones couldn't be heard, I
called my boyfriend, who came to the rescue with his

(32:19):
three best friends. They were somewhat armed with a couple
baseball bats, a pellet gun, and I swear to god, nunchuck.
It is very show up. Yeah, showing up with nunchucks
is very Michelangelo of him. He also should have had
pizza to really round out the image. They walked around
the house, but whoever had been lurking there had already disappeared.
I was terrified to go out to the garage at

(32:41):
night ever again. Twenty eleven the next year, an old
man was arrested for trying to break into a bank
downtown with a hammer. Yeah, pretty fucking dumb, right. When
my mom saw his mugshot in the newspaper, she froze.
She recognized him. It was the man who had stood
in our driveway. He looked oddly familiar, though more so

(33:01):
than just being a stranger that she caught a glimpse
of from a distance one time. She looked at the
name under the photo and then lost her shit. It
was the same man who had tried to strangle her
all those years ago. He had been living in our
town since he got out of prison early for good behavior.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
What the fuck?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
And it puts in brethes Rolls eyes. He knew where
she lived. She showed me the newspaper and I'll never
forget it. That was the face I saw in the window.
That motherfucker died in December of twenty seventeen. Though, So
we're good now, man, that's the story. Hope it gave
you the right amount of chills and what the fuck moments.
You guys are the best. Love the podcast and everything
you do. Thanks for reading and I can't wait to
hear more spooky goodness from you soon. Stay awesome, Raylan.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
That guy had a fucking problem.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, I no shit. Attached to the short article from
the online local newspaper unfortunately doesn't show his creepy mugshot.
Please don't read the article on the podcast, as it
mentions my hometowld man's full name. Yeah, yeah, we believe you. Yeah,
thank you for resenting proof of the story. That's fucking nuts.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Oh, Like, what are the odds you roll a coaster
of emotions, dude, Okay, this was.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Plotting shit for a long time. He was to some
kpe fear ship.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
He was probably like, I'm gonna get you back for
sending me to prison or something like that.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I would love to think, and this is just the
fucking optimist to me. He was like, I'm gonna go
apologize to this person, no way, and that's why he
was there. But like the fucking him being outside the
garage looking in the window like that is not an
apology stance. End up driveway, trying to hype yourself up
to go apolgies for a horrible thing you did, maybe,
but not in the night peering in through a window
and the garage Like, no, that's fucking horrifying. And what

(34:34):
an email to end.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
On man that, Oh my I can't even my lord,
my lord, that was excellent.
