(00:00):
The person dolls there, I know she's not supposed to be there.
I've never seen her out of my grandmother's room.
So I get up and I have the courage to try to run past the
door. I'm, I'm telling myself, you can
do it. You can it's it's OK, You can
run outside the door. My aunt, for some reason is not
coming out of the restroom as I'm finally slow, slower than
(00:23):
ever, trying to get off of the bed, trying to get the courage
to run past the door. The eyes on the doll, the head
on the doll move. I freeze.
It shuts the door on me. And then my only reaction it's
almost like. Some stories crawl out from the
(00:45):
attic, wrapped around in lace, dust and porcelain smiles.
Some of the stories of a witch bigger than a town covering the
sun. Last night on our TikTok live,
someone shared a memory that showed us all a tale about a
(01:09):
witch and also her grandmother'sdolls.
Not just any doll, porcelain dolls.
These weren't just antique collectibles.
They blinked, they whispered, and one night they moved.
Tonight, we bring that story back to life, unfiltered and
(01:35):
fully reimagined. Turn the lights off.
Lock your dog cabinet. This is Witch Dark Tales, and
you're listening to the Witch, the Dolls, and the Whisper in
the dark. I'm a witches and arms welcome
(02:00):
to witch star tells podcast. I'm your host moon witch and
today we are on TikTok live where we're going to be hearing
scary stories. Now, before I do get into the
podcast, few discretion is advised.
Everything we talk about just pure speculation to the best of
our knowledge. These are just scary stories
that has been told or will be told and audio listeners, this
(02:22):
question has is how? Well, I just stuttered, I know.
But with that being said, let's get straight into the podcast.
So I live in the city of West Covina.
I have lived in my grandmother'shouse my whole life.
I'm 33 now. I was 5 at the time and my older
sister was 6. This was during the day back in
(02:43):
the 90s. My aunt Jeanette was watching us
broad daylight, probably right after breakfast chores.
So I'm thinking from what I remember, probably like 10 in
the morning, maybe 11 in the morning.
We live right next to a, what wecall like a ditch, like a plane,
dirt area where water goes through when it rains.
But it also used to be like our playing area.
(03:07):
So me and my sister, we used to have this big weeping Willow
tree within ours. But it was our neighbors.
It was our house, the ditch and then the neighbors house.
We didn't have walls at the timebut there was a huge weeping
Willow on the neighbors propertyand that was just our play area.
We got along with the neighbors 10 or 11 in the morning me and
(03:28):
my sister are playing in the front yard and it says during
the day sun's out, birds are chirping.
It's hard to explain but exactlyhow I'm saying it.
From the middle of the street, probably 3 houses down, we see a
huge black figure but she almostpixelates into air.
Like she started off as a shadow, but then she came into
(03:51):
like, real as a pixelation, and by the time that she got to us,
it's almost like our bodies had petrified.
I. I couldn't move.
My sister couldn't move. I mean, I remember trying to
scream, but I couldn't scream. I could only really move my
eyes. The birds stopped chirping.
(04:11):
There was no cars, nothing, nobody.
Just it was like it was just us 3.
So in the middle of the day trial, we were playing.
She was huge. She, she was tall, freakishly
tall, but she was pitch black, like a black.
You couldn't see through her. She, she was just black.
That's all I remember. Like anyways and inside from her
(04:35):
cloak she had hands of a woman but from inside her cloak she
laid down a chicken bowls and other things that she just kept
popping out of her cloak. All I could see were her hands
at the time when she was doing whatever that she was doing and
she was taking things out of hercloak.
Mind you me and my sister are petrified were side by side and
(04:57):
it's like I could feel my sisterscreaming.
It's like she could feel me screaming but we couldn't move
whenever she was. I'm sorry, how?
How old were you? I was 5 and my sister was 6.
Yeah, at that, at that age, we we still remember stuff.
To be honest, we might think that that we don't remember
things, but we remember. No, I remember vividly.
I'm. Vividly right now.
(05:18):
And I'll, I'll get more into whyI am the way that I am or I now
that I do certain things, this, this thing, this this witch took
a toll on me for years. Anyways, she was making, and I
know it sounds so weird, but real magic in front of us like
glitter, whatever she was pouring into these things were
(05:39):
shiny. They were pretty like they were
mesmerizing. She did what she did.
And what felt like hours probably was only seconds.
So by the time that she was done, when she was putting
everything into her cloaks, I remember looking down at her
feet and she had that. She had hooves, real horse
hooves, but she had beautiful hands like a woman.
(06:02):
So when she was done, she did what she did.
And exactly where she pixelated from is exactly where she walked
and pixelated into just just disappeared.
And as soon as she was gone, like the last bit of pixelation
there, me and my sister almost like snap back into reality.
(06:26):
Like unfreezing. So I remember I just started
crying, she started crying and me and my sister sadly didn't
grow up or affectionate but I remember just holding each other
for the longest and I'm crying right now that I'm talking about
it but. I, I feel it in your, I feel it
for when you were telling the story, I started like.
Yeah, and we ran inside and mindyou, this was in the 90s and I
(06:50):
don't know how old you guys are.Well, I'll jump into that right
now. So we ran inside and we told my
aunt Jeanette what happened. And usually your aunts or nobody
are going to believe you, but she instantly called my mom.
My mom was at work. She called my grandfather,
everybody she called everybody else.
We had told her what happened. My mom got there and I remember
(07:12):
my uncle and my grandma are yelling at my mom and my other
aunt Alma because we grew up in a house full of 10 girls and
probably like 2 boys including my grandfather, and we got
excused. She was getting yelled at so
that went down. They believed us.
Gosh. I remember the house was on
lockdown for like 2 like a wholetwo years after that.
(07:34):
Like we weren't out. We weren't out allowed outside
after this. The street lights turned on.
We weren't allowed to do certainthings.
We weren't allowed to go to our friend's house anymore.
I was just school chores and back school chores and back.
My mom was on strict supervisiontoo.
Fast forward, I'm probably like 2021.
Nobody really talked about it other than when it was like
(07:55):
superstitious things or why we weren't supposed to do certain
things. Or me.
I'm still, I'm 33, I have a six year old daughter.
We still sleep with the night light.
I put locks on my doors, on my back door.
I still live in my grandfather'shouse.
So like I'm not as scared as I am as I was growing up, but I
still take precautions. I have two Black Cats in my
(08:16):
house. They're with me right now.
Yeah. So sorry.
I'm like 2021 and I'm sitting down with my mom in my mind and
my mom's. I love my mom, but mine and my
mom's relationship, sadly, it was like a generational curse
thing. Her and her mom didn't get
along, that me and my mom didn'tget along.
(08:36):
But I forgive her, you know? So one night we're sitting in
the living room. I said, hey, without you getting
upset or anything, but can I askyou something?
I said what was all that about when we were kids?
Oh, mind you, for a whole year after that happened to us, my
grandpa would drive us over the border to Tijuana and he would
took us to like a medicine man to get cleansed.
(08:59):
That part is so weird because mysister remembers all the trips
and I have no recollection of it.
What whether you're in the firstdrive over there?
Now, do you think because of themedicine man?
Allegedly he basically like erased that whole portion of
your memory. Well, everything that happened
(09:20):
to us that morning, I remember Icould smell like, I don't know,
I can't explain. There's certain smells randomly
where I like it, flashbacks. And it's like, you would think
it was something nasty and deaf,but the thing smelled like
trees, flowers, soil, like, I don't know.
There's just certain smells theydon't like or I'll start to get
(09:44):
nervous and it's just hard. It's a lot.
So yeah, my sister remembers every trip of the cleanse and I,
I remember the one trip there and that's it.
So Fast forward, I'm sitting in the living room with my mom and
I tell her and she's like, look,I'm going to tell you this, but
after this, I don't want to talkabout it no more.
(10:04):
OK? You don't want to fight with
you. I don't want to talk about it
anymore. But you're old enough.
So she's like, OK, we could talkabout it.
So they again, they used to sellthe Ouija boards like nothing in
the stores. I don't know if you guys
remember that, but. They used to be at Toys-R-Us,
yes. Girl, I have a haunted Toys-R-Us
here in the city of West Covina.That's a whole another story,
girl. Tomorrow night, so she's.
(10:29):
Sitting down, she goes. You know, me and your sister,
Elmer, we used to play that. And for a while, before you
guys, before you were born, onlyyour sister was born.
I got really addicted to it. So did you.
We tried to burn it. It wouldn't leave us alone until
(10:50):
this day. Mommy, I can't even sleep in a
room by myself. Have you ever noticed that?
Mind you, I'm 20. I'm already moved out of her
house. And it was like, yeah, Yeah,
you're right. You can't.
She goes yeah, why would you getwhy do you guys think I would
always have at least one year right there.
My mom is getting older and evennow, sorry, I just burped.
(11:13):
He can't sleep in her room by herself.
She has things still bother her,but they still bump in the night
for her. So she thinks that's what
happened and that's why she got yelled at that day.
And the only reason why she got she got like, well, she stopped
(11:36):
playing it. It's because she goes when they
tell you to say goodbye and close the door.
That's what I had to do. It's really, you really do have
to say bye. And it was like an addiction.
I couldn't explain it. It didn't matter what I was
doing. It was like I had to get high
off of it. And I had just stopped that high
right before I found out I was pregnant with you.
(11:57):
So I don't know if that has something to do with it or what,
but maybe that's why that happened to you.
And she was. And I want you to know that I
believe you guys. I said, well, yeah, we're not.
I'm not lying because I know youguys were lying.
Why do you think that happened that night and you guys were
excused the way that you were? Girl, not the plot to us, yeah.
(12:19):
I'm sorry, sorry to interrupt you.
How old is your mom, if you don't mind telling us?
If I'm 33, she's 50, she's 50. 5She's my age.
So yeah, she was a young mom. Yeah, because that's what when
you said that they played with the Ouija board when I because
me and your mom are about the same age.
(12:40):
I'm 54. We used to do the Ouija board,
but it wasn't mine. It was other people's, but we
used to play it. Well, yeah, it's true.
They say that you get like, you get like high off of it, you get
addicted to it, almost sit the molesta, like if it bothers you,
if you don't play it, you know, that's what she told me.
So she had started crying and she said, sorry, my mom, I'm 33.
(13:04):
I've only heard my mom apologizeto me twice in my whole life.
I'm only seeing her cry once when she lost the love of her
life, which is a man that raisedme in this time when she was
apologizing to me. And I just told her, well, it's
OK. You know, you don't.
I, I, I mean, I forgive you and nothing happened to us.
Everything's OK. And that was it.
(13:26):
My mom doesn't like to talk about it.
Things still go bump in the night for her.
The house that we live in, sadlyis.
It was pretty haunted back in the day.
I think all the negativity has left over the years.
But yeah, that happened to me asa young girl.
The first and only time I've ever seen a witch smell the
(13:47):
witch. I never touched her, but I did
see her and I do know what she smells like.
Even till this day, I still livein the house that it happened
at. Oh hell.
No girl. Sorry girl girl.
I'm going to keep it real with you right now.
You sat there and described birds chirping at the sky.
(14:11):
The the lady with the the smell of the witch with the cloak.
Like, yeah, girl. Girl, I'm here.
I'm here. That's what I'm talking.
About details like that, I love details like that, like.
Your pictures you. Gave us a picture.
That happened my infatuation with How do I explain it?
Like I I guess that's what started my lower as in I know
(14:33):
everything that's good in this world.
I know that everything is bad inthis world.
Like duality, my obsession with duality.
It started because of what happened to me as a kid.
Like I don't practice anything. I'm not a white witch, I'm not a
dark witch. All I know is that ever since
whatever she did or whatever, it's almost like she sparked
(14:55):
the. Interest.
Not even an interest. Like it's almost like it's
changed something to like, Oh myGod, because that's just one of
it. There was a the the aunt that
I'm talking to you guys about that used to play it with my
mom. So it's me.
It's my older sister raw. You're part me and then my
little brother. I'm going to exit the witch
(15:18):
story really quick. Moving on to a second scary
story is titled My Grandmother'sPorcelain Doll.
I'm home alone, it's night time.I'm getting watched again by one
of my aunts. I'm in her room.
My grandma throughout my whole life has had these freaky little
(15:39):
porcelain dolls, but they're hamillas.
They're twins and I never liked them ever ever ever.
She would dress them, make them clothes, and I just never liked
them. Mind you, my grandma has a back
house. There's no reason why these
dolls should be in the front house.
(16:00):
It's night time. I'm watching TV on one of the
big old school TV's. My aunt's like I'm going to go
take a shower. Go ahead and have my 30 minutes
if you want. I'm going to go take a shower.
No one's answering. Nobody wants to talk to me on
the phone, so I go back on the bed.
As I'm getting on the bed my aunt's door slowly starts to
(16:22):
close and I automatically shut down.
That's not normal this door is heavy but I'm like you know what
I'm not scared. So I get up and I go see what it
is. It's one of the porcelain dolls
sitting behind the door. My body automatically freezes
and I close my eyes and I go runto my aunts bed and I go under
(16:44):
the blanket and at this time forsome reason it was only me and
my aunt in the house. So the person dolls there.
I know she's not supposed to be there.
I've never seen her out of my grandmother's room.
So I get up and I have the courage to try to run past the
door. I'm I'm telling myself you can
(17:06):
do it. You can it's it's OK you can run
outside the door. My aunt for some reason is not
coming out of the restroom as I'm finally slow, slower than
ever, trying to get off of the bed, trying to get the courage
to run past the door. The eyes on the doll, the head
on the doll move. I freeze.
(17:30):
It shuts the door on me. And then my only reaction.
It's almost like I lost blood inmy legs, like I automatically
turned into a noodle. Like my body just shrunk.
And then I just started praying.I just started saying, please,
God, if you're here with me, just protect me in any way.
(17:54):
And then I feel what I thought was a doll and I thought I was
going to die. Like I thought, this is it.
Everything's coming full circle.I'm going to die right now.
I scream and my hand's like, what the ass Stephanie?
And she was like, what's wrong with you?
Why are you crying? I look up, you guys, the doll is
gone. She's not there.
(18:17):
I'm calling my aunt Diana. Please.
She was like, stop. And I'm scaring her.
You know, I'm eleven, so my auntis 1213.
She's 14, so I'm already freaking around.
She's already any mad. Everybody, everybody knows about
everything that happens but doesn't talk about it.
I'm like crying. My dad and the doll, she's like,
whatever you doll. Stephanie, you're pissing me
(18:38):
off. Like, shut up.
You're just being stupid. Like, no, please, Dad.
I promise you. It was right there.
My aunt gets so mad. She Yanks you around my hair,
takes me to my aunt, my grandma's back house.
And she's like, where? Where are the dolls?
The dolls are sitting always where they are.
(18:58):
And my grandma's already becauseI don't know, she has these
weird things with these dolls that she's just had on her whole
life and she's like, she's lying.
She's just being dramatic. She wants attention.
And my aunt, this time, they don't believe me this time, this
is the only time ever that my aunts and my mom, my mom kind
of, but nobody's like, where's the no, you're lying.
(19:22):
Like you need to stop with your stuff.
Everything happened already. You're fine.
And until till this day, I will not go into my grandmother's
room alone. I don't care what she wants.
You better call one of your daughters.
That's an automatic no, I don't go into her room.
(19:43):
And now that I've gotten older, I think she put them away.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't go in her room anymore. And if I do, it's damn, it's not
by myself. But that day was the last time
ever, as a young, innocent kid, that something like that ever
happened to me. Nadia Girl.
Out girl. Nadia.
(20:05):
Yeah. She's going to.
You're going to inherit it, those dolls.
No, I my grandma knows how I feel about them.
My grandma knows. No, I'm just kidding.
No, she knows. That's.
That's crazy. I wanted to go pee and I
couldn't because I was too busy.I wanted to listen.
To this for years I couldn't pee.
Oh my God, yeah, I was. Just like.
(20:29):
It took, I know. Wow.
To get over the things that not get over.
But yeah, it took me a long time.
Even now as an adult, it's not even that I'm scared of the
dark. I'm scared of the daylight.
Girl, it's it's crazy how how one thing that your mom did when
they were younger, how it how it's continued.
It is. But a quick, quick question.
(20:51):
Yeah. Do you think your grandparents
did Brujeriat Tambien? Don't.
Know I don't they they, they live in they're from Alcapulco
so I don't know how they were raised or anything like that.
My grandma throughout the years,sadly.
I do love her, but she really isan evil lady.
So I don't know. I don't know, I, I don't.
(21:16):
Because for them to take you for'cause I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like listening to your whole story and, and saying so they
must believe in in Bruharia because like your grandpa
Tijuana with you and your littlesister to take care, you know,
para parat in Olympia. So they must.
There's something there. Yeah, again, it's been real.
(21:38):
It's real. Hush, hush.
Unless it got real effing crazy,then you know, all all the stops
get pulled out. But again, I was a young girl.
It had nothing has happened to me ever since I was 11.
I was 11 or 12. The one I just told you about
this dumb dolls. I don't go near the dolls.
(22:00):
They still make me feel funny. I've never seen a move other
than the dresser that they've been on.
They've been on their food years.
But I I'm telling you guys, whether nobody believes me or
not, that doll was there that day, that witch was there that
day, that little boy was here. I believe you.
No, we believe you. And it's crazy because everybody
knows and well, I don't know if you do, but back in the days, I
(22:23):
say this all the time too, Back in the days, the porcelain
dolls, they used to be like spirit transporters.
People would have the spirits contained inside those dolls.
Yeah, she still has the dolls, guys.
Oh girl. Somebody.
Else and then our she our team says where did she get the
dolls? From yeah, somebody else.
What she's had on her whole life.
(22:46):
Before we end the podcast, I wanted to ask a couple
questions. What did you all think about
that? Now for audio listeners?
I believe her. From the Witch Story to her
grandmother's porcelain doll. The way she explained her
paranormal experiences was so vivid.
(23:09):
I felt like she painted a picture with just words.
Now what do you think about it? Do you believe these experiences
had happened to her? Now for YouTube viewers dropped
on a comment. Let me know.
Well that is it, my witches and norms.
Thank you for joining the Witch Dark Tales podcast and I'll see
(23:32):
you for audio listeners on Monday and visual for YouTube on
Sunday. Blessed be everyone, have a
great night.
The person dolls there, I know she's not supposed to be there.
I've never seen her out of my grandmother's room.
So I get up and I have the courage to try to run past the
door. I'm, I'm telling myself, you can
do it. You can it's it's OK, You can
run outside the door. My aunt, for some reason is not
coming out of the restroom as I'm finally slow, slower than
(00:23):
ever, trying to get off of the bed, trying to get the courage
to run past the door. The eyes on the doll, the head
on the doll move. I freeze.
It shuts the door on me. And then my only reaction it's
almost like. Some stories crawl out from the
(00:45):
attic, wrapped around in lace, dust and porcelain smiles.
Some of the stories of a witch bigger than a town covering the
sun. Last night on our TikTok live,
someone shared a memory that showed us all a tale about a
(01:09):
witch and also her grandmother'sdolls.
Not just any doll, porcelain dolls.

(02:00):
to witch star tells podcast. I'm your host moon witch and
today we are on TikTok live where we're going to be hearing
scary stories. Now, before I do get into the
podcast, few discretion is advised.
Everything we talk about just pure speculation to the best of
our knowledge. These are just scary stories
that has been told or will be told and audio listeners, this
(02:22):
question has is how? Well, I just stuttered, I know.
But with that being said, let's get straight into the podcast.
So I live in the city of West Covina.
I have lived in my grandmother'shouse my whole life.
I'm 33 now. I was 5 at the time and my older
sister was 6. This was during the day back in
(02:43):
the 90s. My aunt Jeanette was watching us
broad daylight, probably right after breakfast chores.
So I'm thinking from what I remember, probably like 10 in
the morning, maybe 11 in the morning.
We live right next to a, what wecall like a ditch, like a plane,
dirt area where water goes through when it rains.
But it also used to be like our playing area.
(03:07):
So me and my sister, we used to have this big weeping Willow
tree within ours. But it was our neighbors.
It was our house, the ditch and then the neighbors house.
We didn't have walls at the timebut there was a huge weeping
Willow on the neighbors propertyand that was just our play area.
We got along with the neighbors 10 or 11 in the morning me and
(03:28):
my sister are playing in the front yard and it says during
the day sun's out, birds are chirping.
It's hard to explain but exactlyhow I'm saying it.
From the middle of the street, probably 3 houses down, we see a
huge black figure but she almostpixelates into air.
Like she started off as a shadow, but then she came into
(03:51):
like, real as a pixelation, and by the time that she got to us,
it's almost like our bodies had petrified.
I. I couldn't move.
My sister couldn't move. I mean, I remember trying to
scream, but I couldn't scream. I could only really move my
eyes. The birds stopped chirping.
(04:11):
There was no cars, nothing, nobody.
Just it was like it was just us 3.
So in the middle of the day trial, we were playing.
She was huge. She, she was tall, freakishly
tall, but she was pitch black, like a black.
You couldn't see through her. She, she was just black.
That's all I remember. Like anyways and inside from her
(04:35):
cloak she had hands of a woman but from inside her cloak she
laid down a chicken bowls and other things that she just kept
popping out of her cloak. All I could see were her hands
at the time when she was doing whatever that she was doing and
she was taking things out of hercloak.
Mind you me and my sister are petrified were side by side and
(04:57):
it's like I could feel my sisterscreaming.
It's like she could feel me screaming but we couldn't move
whenever she was. I'm sorry, how?
How old were you? I was 5 and my sister was 6.
Yeah, at that, at that age, we we still remember stuff.
To be honest, we might think that that we don't remember
things, but we remember. No, I remember vividly.
I'm. Vividly right now.
(05:18):
And I'll, I'll get more into whyI am the way that I am or I now
that I do certain things, this, this thing, this this witch took
a toll on me for years. Anyways, she was making, and I
know it sounds so weird, but real magic in front of us like
glitter, whatever she was pouring into these things were
(05:39):
shiny. They were pretty like they were
mesmerizing. She did what she did.
And what felt like hours probably was only seconds.
So by the time that she was done, when she was putting
everything into her cloaks, I remember looking down at her
feet and she had that. She had hooves, real horse
hooves, but she had beautiful hands like a woman.
(06:02):
So when she was done, she did what she did.
And exactly where she pixelated from is exactly where she walked
and pixelated into just just disappeared.
And as soon as she was gone, like the last bit of pixelation
there, me and my sister almost like snap back into reality.
(06:26):
Like unfreezing. So I remember I just started
crying, she started crying and me and my sister sadly didn't
grow up or affectionate but I remember just holding each other
for the longest and I'm crying right now that I'm talking about
it but. I, I feel it in your, I feel it
for when you were telling the story, I started like.
Yeah, and we ran inside and mindyou, this was in the 90s and I
(06:50):
don't know how old you guys are.Well, I'll jump into that right
now. So we ran inside and we told my
aunt Jeanette what happened. And usually your aunts or nobody
are going to believe you, but she instantly called my mom.
My mom was at work. She called my grandfather,
everybody she called everybody else.
We had told her what happened. My mom got there and I remember
(07:12):
my uncle and my grandma are yelling at my mom and my other
aunt Alma because we grew up in a house full of 10 girls and
probably like 2 boys including my grandfather, and we got
excused. She was getting yelled at so
that went down. They believed us.
Gosh. I remember the house was on
lockdown for like 2 like a wholetwo years after that.
(07:34):
Like we weren't out. We weren't out allowed outside
after this. The street lights turned on.
We weren't allowed to do certainthings.
We weren't allowed to go to our friend's house anymore.
I was just school chores and back school chores and back.
My mom was on strict supervisiontoo.
Fast forward, I'm probably like 2021.
Nobody really talked about it other than when it was like
(07:55):
superstitious things or why we weren't supposed to do certain
things. Or me.
I'm still, I'm 33, I have a six year old daughter.
We still sleep with the night light.
I put locks on my doors, on my back door.
I still live in my grandfather'shouse.
So like I'm not as scared as I am as I was growing up, but I
still take precautions. I have two Black Cats in my
(08:16):
house. They're with me right now.
Yeah. So sorry.
I'm like 2021 and I'm sitting down with my mom in my mind and
my mom's. I love my mom, but mine and my
mom's relationship, sadly, it was like a generational curse
thing. Her and her mom didn't get
along, that me and my mom didn'tget along.
(08:36):
But I forgive her, you know? So one night we're sitting in
the living room. I said, hey, without you getting
upset or anything, but can I askyou something?
I said what was all that about when we were kids?
Oh, mind you, for a whole year after that happened to us, my
grandpa would drive us over the border to Tijuana and he would
took us to like a medicine man to get cleansed.
(08:59):
That part is so weird because mysister remembers all the trips
and I have no recollection of it.
What whether you're in the firstdrive over there?
Now, do you think because of themedicine man?
Allegedly he basically like erased that whole portion of
your memory. Well, everything that happened
(09:20):
to us that morning, I remember Icould smell like, I don't know,
I can't explain. There's certain smells randomly
where I like it, flashbacks. And it's like, you would think
it was something nasty and deaf,but the thing smelled like
trees, flowers, soil, like, I don't know.
There's just certain smells theydon't like or I'll start to get
(09:44):
nervous and it's just hard. It's a lot.
So yeah, my sister remembers every trip of the cleanse and I,
I remember the one trip there and that's it.
So Fast forward, I'm sitting in the living room with my mom and
I tell her and she's like, look,I'm going to tell you this, but
after this, I don't want to talkabout it no more.
(10:04):
OK? You don't want to fight with
you. I don't want to talk about it
anymore. But you're old enough.
So she's like, OK, we could talkabout it.
So they again, they used to sellthe Ouija boards like nothing in
the stores. I don't know if you guys
remember that, but. They used to be at Toys-R-Us,
yes. Girl, I have a haunted Toys-R-Us
here in the city of West Covina.That's a whole another story,
girl. Tomorrow night, so she's.
(10:29):
Sitting down, she goes. You know, me and your sister,
Elmer, we used to play that. And for a while, before you
guys, before you were born, onlyyour sister was born.
I got really addicted to it. So did you.
We tried to burn it. It wouldn't leave us alone until
(10:50):
this day. Mommy, I can't even sleep in a
room by myself. Have you ever noticed that?
Mind you, I'm 20. I'm already moved out of her
house. And it was like, yeah, Yeah,
you're right. You can't.
She goes yeah, why would you getwhy do you guys think I would
always have at least one year right there.
My mom is getting older and evennow, sorry, I just burped.
(11:13):
He can't sleep in her room by herself.
She has things still bother her,but they still bump in the night
for her. So she thinks that's what
happened and that's why she got yelled at that day.
And the only reason why she got she got like, well, she stopped
(11:36):
playing it. It's because she goes when they
tell you to say goodbye and close the door.
That's what I had to do. It's really, you really do have
to say bye. And it was like an addiction.
I couldn't explain it. It didn't matter what I was
doing. It was like I had to get high
off of it. And I had just stopped that high
right before I found out I was pregnant with you.
(11:57):
So I don't know if that has something to do with it or what,
but maybe that's why that happened to you.
And she was. And I want you to know that I
believe you guys. I said, well, yeah, we're not.
I'm not lying because I know youguys were lying.
Why do you think that happened that night and you guys were
excused the way that you were? Girl, not the plot to us, yeah.
(12:19):
I'm sorry, sorry to interrupt you.
How old is your mom, if you don't mind telling us?
If I'm 33, she's 50, she's 50. 5She's my age.
So yeah, she was a young mom. Yeah, because that's what when
you said that they played with the Ouija board when I because
me and your mom are about the same age.
(12:40):
I'm 54. We used to do the Ouija board,
but it wasn't mine. It was other people's, but we
used to play it. Well, yeah, it's true.
They say that you get like, you get like high off of it, you get
addicted to it, almost sit the molesta, like if it bothers you,
if you don't play it, you know, that's what she told me.
So she had started crying and she said, sorry, my mom, I'm 33.
(13:04):
I've only heard my mom apologizeto me twice in my whole life.
I'm only seeing her cry once when she lost the love of her
life, which is a man that raisedme in this time when she was
apologizing to me. And I just told her, well, it's
OK. You know, you don't.
I, I, I mean, I forgive you and nothing happened to us.
Everything's OK. And that was it.
(13:26):
My mom doesn't like to talk about it.
Things still go bump in the night for her.
The house that we live in, sadlyis.
It was pretty haunted back in the day.
I think all the negativity has left over the years.
But yeah, that happened to me asa young girl.
The first and only time I've ever seen a witch smell the
(13:47):
witch. I never touched her, but I did
see her and I do know what she smells like.
Even till this day, I still livein the house that it happened
at. Oh hell.
No girl. Sorry girl girl.
I'm going to keep it real with you right now.
You sat there and described birds chirping at the sky.
(14:11):
The the lady with the the smell of the witch with the cloak.
Like, yeah, girl. Girl, I'm here.
I'm here. That's what I'm talking.
About details like that, I love details like that, like.
Your pictures you. Gave us a picture.
That happened my infatuation with How do I explain it?
Like I I guess that's what started my lower as in I know
(14:33):
everything that's good in this world.
I know that everything is bad inthis world.
Like duality, my obsession with duality.
It started because of what happened to me as a kid.
Like I don't practice anything. I'm not a white witch, I'm not a
dark witch. All I know is that ever since
whatever she did or whatever, it's almost like she sparked
(14:55):
the. Interest.
Not even an interest. Like it's almost like it's
changed something to like, Oh myGod, because that's just one of
it. There was a the the aunt that
I'm talking to you guys about that used to play it with my
mom. So it's me.
It's my older sister raw. You're part me and then my
little brother. I'm going to exit the witch
(15:18):
story really quick. Moving on to a second scary
story is titled My Grandmother'sPorcelain Doll.
I'm home alone, it's night time.I'm getting watched again by one
of my aunts. I'm in her room.
My grandma throughout my whole life has had these freaky little
(15:39):
porcelain dolls, but they're hamillas.
They're twins and I never liked them ever ever ever.
She would dress them, make them clothes, and I just never liked
them. Mind you, my grandma has a back
house. There's no reason why these
dolls should be in the front house.
(16:00):
It's night time. I'm watching TV on one of the
big old school TV's. My aunt's like I'm going to go
take a shower. Go ahead and have my 30 minutes
if you want. I'm going to go take a shower.
No one's answering. Nobody wants to talk to me on
the phone, so I go back on the bed.
As I'm getting on the bed my aunt's door slowly starts to
(16:22):
close and I automatically shut down.
That's not normal this door is heavy but I'm like you know what
I'm not scared. So I get up and I go see what it
is. It's one of the porcelain dolls
sitting behind the door. My body automatically freezes
and I close my eyes and I go runto my aunts bed and I go under
(16:44):
the blanket and at this time forsome reason it was only me and
my aunt in the house. So the person dolls there.
I know she's not supposed to be there.
I've never seen her out of my grandmother's room.
So I get up and I have the courage to try to run past the
door. I'm I'm telling myself you can
(17:06):
do it. You can it's it's OK you can run
outside the door. My aunt for some reason is not
coming out of the restroom as I'm finally slow, slower than
ever, trying to get off of the bed, trying to get the courage
to run past the door. The eyes on the doll, the head
on the doll move. I freeze.
(17:30):
It shuts the door on me. And then my only reaction.
It's almost like I lost blood inmy legs, like I automatically
turned into a noodle. Like my body just shrunk.
And then I just started praying.I just started saying, please,
God, if you're here with me, just protect me in any way.
(17:54):
And then I feel what I thought was a doll and I thought I was
going to die. Like I thought, this is it.
Everything's coming full circle.I'm going to die right now.
I scream and my hand's like, what the ass Stephanie?
And she was like, what's wrong with you?
Why are you crying? I look up, you guys, the doll is
gone. She's not there.
(18:17):
I'm calling my aunt Diana. Please.
She was like, stop. And I'm scaring her.
You know, I'm eleven, so my auntis 1213.
She's 14, so I'm already freaking around.
She's already any mad. Everybody, everybody knows about
everything that happens but doesn't talk about it.
I'm like crying. My dad and the doll, she's like,
whatever you doll. Stephanie, you're pissing me
(18:38):
off. Like, shut up.
You're just being stupid. Like, no, please, Dad.
I promise you. It was right there.
My aunt gets so mad. She Yanks you around my hair,
takes me to my aunt, my grandma's back house.
And she's like, where? Where are the dolls?
The dolls are sitting always where they are.
(18:58):
And my grandma's already becauseI don't know, she has these
weird things with these dolls that she's just had on her whole
life and she's like, she's lying.
She's just being dramatic. She wants attention.
And my aunt, this time, they don't believe me this time, this
is the only time ever that my aunts and my mom, my mom kind
of, but nobody's like, where's the no, you're lying.
(19:22):
Like you need to stop with your stuff.
Everything happened already. You're fine.
And until till this day, I will not go into my grandmother's
room alone. I don't care what she wants.
You better call one of your daughters.
That's an automatic no, I don't go into her room.
(19:43):
And now that I've gotten older, I think she put them away.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't go in her room anymore. And if I do, it's damn, it's not
by myself. But that day was the last time
ever, as a young, innocent kid, that something like that ever
happened to me. Nadia Girl.
Out girl. Nadia.
(20:05):
Yeah. She's going to.
You're going to inherit it, those dolls.
No, I my grandma knows how I feel about them.
My grandma knows. No, I'm just kidding.
No, she knows. That's.
That's crazy. I wanted to go pee and I
couldn't because I was too busy.I wanted to listen.
To this for years I couldn't pee.
Oh my God, yeah, I was. Just like.
(20:29):
It took, I know. Wow.
To get over the things that not get over.
But yeah, it took me a long time.
Even now as an adult, it's not even that I'm scared of the
dark. I'm scared of the daylight.
Girl, it's it's crazy how how one thing that your mom did when
they were younger, how it how it's continued.
It is. But a quick, quick question.
(20:51):
Yeah. Do you think your grandparents
did Brujeriat Tambien? Don't.
Know I don't they they, they live in they're from Alcapulco
so I don't know how they were raised or anything like that.
My grandma throughout the years,sadly.
I do love her, but she really isan evil lady.
So I don't know. I don't know, I, I don't.
(21:16):
Because for them to take you for'cause I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like listening to your whole story and, and saying so they
must believe in in Bruharia because like your grandpa
Tijuana with you and your littlesister to take care, you know,
para parat in Olympia. So they must.
There's something there. Yeah, again, it's been real.
(21:38):
It's real. Hush, hush.
Unless it got real effing crazy,then you know, all all the stops
get pulled out. But again, I was a young girl.
It had nothing has happened to me ever since I was 11.
I was 11 or 12. The one I just told you about
this dumb dolls. I don't go near the dolls.
(22:00):
They still make me feel funny. I've never seen a move other
than the dresser that they've been on.
They've been on their food years.
But I I'm telling you guys, whether nobody believes me or
not, that doll was there that day, that witch was there that
day, that little boy was here. I believe you.
No, we believe you. And it's crazy because everybody
knows and well, I don't know if you do, but back in the days, I
(22:23):
say this all the time too, Back in the days, the porcelain
dolls, they used to be like spirit transporters.
People would have the spirits contained inside those dolls.
Yeah, she still has the dolls, guys.
Oh girl. Somebody.
Else and then our she our team says where did she get the
dolls? From yeah, somebody else.
What she's had on her whole life.
(22:46):
Before we end the podcast, I wanted to ask a couple
questions. What did you all think about
that? Now for audio listeners?
I believe her. From the Witch Story to her
grandmother's porcelain doll. The way she explained her
paranormal experiences was so vivid.
(23:09):
I felt like she painted a picture with just words.
Now what do you think about it? Do you believe these experiences
had happened to her? Now for YouTube viewers dropped
on a comment. Let me know.
Well that is it, my witches and norms.
Thank you for joining the Witch Dark Tales podcast and I'll see
(23:32):
you for audio listeners on Monday and visual for YouTube on
Sunday. Blessed be everyone, have a
great night.
