Speaker 1 (00:02):
Have you ever been told that you reminded someone of
a person they once met, or that you look identical
to someone else who wasn't biologically related to you. Most
of the time we laugh it off as oh, must
be my evil long lost twin and you move on.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
But what if this reported.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Double was an entity everyone can occasionally see except for
In German, doppelganger translates to double goer or double walker,
and is defined as a ghostly counterpart of a living person.
In traditional folklore, doppelgangers are considered most often to be
ghostly apparitions or entities, not real people. Some mythology suggests
that doppelgangers don't cast shadows, and their reflections cannot be
seen in the mirror or in water. Dopplegangers have been

(00:35):
witnessed on numerous occasions, both by the twinings we're seen
individually by others. Generally, these accounts are settings that come
and go in an instance or two, which many believe
to be a bad omen or premonition of impending tragedy
or death.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
If you ever hear someone call out to you when
you know your home alone, even if it sounds like
a loved one, do not answer.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Recently, I told you all about melodies Rose, who was
a TikToker that went.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Viral after hearing her name called out in a voice
that sounded just like her own while home alone. But
recently there's been such an influx in these videos. What
all co mimic videos of people hearing their loved ones
calling out for them when they.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Aren't even home.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Hello, neighbors, lovers, friends, and disembodied voices. I'm Danielliscrima, and
you're listening to Brod's next Door. Grab your stage and
your skepticism, because today we're getting a broader understanding of doppelgangers, mimics,
and the moments that make you question reality.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
What happens when you see.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
Someone who isn't there, when someone or something else doesn't
just look like you but mimics you. Is it a
form of hysteria, messing with our minds, a glitch in
our brains, or in linear time? Or is it something
more sinister. We've been documenting doubles for thousands of years.
Science must know something right, right, Let's see, Hello, how

(02:01):
is everyone? I hope you're doing well. I hope your
week is off to a great start. I hope you're
feeling anchored. I hope your sense of self is currently
located firmly within your body, because I'm about to tell
you something that sounds impossible. Uh spoogy, Oh, I saw
a ghost one s at a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine.

(02:22):
I did, I mean something that makes me feel genuinely
like reality, maybe leaguing from it, seems. Let me take
you back to two thousand and three, my first doppelganger experience.
It's my freshman year at Kent State. You know the
campus where the National Guard once opened fire on unarmed students.
If you don't, I have an episode out about that too.

(02:44):
There's a lot of haunted grounds there. But that day
it wasn't ghosts I was dealing with. It was myself,
or something pretending to be me. My mom was helping
me move into my dorm or sweaty, cranky, surrounded by
target bags, and she sends some thing like don't put
clean laundry on the floor, in that classic maternal way,

(03:05):
And of course I'm immediately defensive, even though this is
something I constantly did as a teenager. I start to respond,
I want to go say yeah, okay, mom, But before
I could get any words out. My voice answered her
from the closet. I was looking her, she was looking
at me. The voice that replied was mine, but I
didn't say it. I was like, mom, I didn't say that.

(03:27):
I didn't say that, and she's like, I know, honey,
I was looking at you. And we really tried to
figure out what it was. She suggested it was a demon.
I didn't believe in demons. It's like, maybe you threw
your voice. She felt freaked out about me saying there,
And it was something while I was going there that
I didn't try and think about that much because it
freaked me out. And I've never been able to explain

(03:49):
that moment. I've talked about it over the years because
it's just lived in my mind as this glitch, this
weird story, this slice of impossibility that I I tucked
away with my old yearbooks and crushes until two days ago.
It's May third, twenty twenty five, a normal Saturday. I'm
pretending it is fitting outside on the porch, soaking in

(04:12):
some sun, trying to pretend that I'm not actively unraveling
from quinning weed. I go back inside. Everything seems normal
at first. My roommate and his brother here painting our
spare bedroom, and I hear my roommate Sam talking to someone.
At first I think it's his brother and he has
his back toward me. Then I hear him say thanks, Daniella,
and I just got this bad feeling. I closed the door.

(04:34):
He turned around when he saw me close the door,
and all the color just strains from his face. He goes,
I was just I was just talking to you in
the hallway, I said, I was outside the whole time.
I could tell he was terrified, so I didn't want
to freak him out more, but I did because of
course I was like, did you talk to it? You're
not supposed to talk to it. So I have my
roommate Sam here, and I am just going to have

(04:56):
him explain what he saw in his own words. And
I also want to know if he experienced anything like
this before. Okay, So Sam, Saturday, you saw me when
I was not there?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I did. I did.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
I was saying goodbye to my brother who was painting
the side room, and I stepped out into the hallway
and pretty clearly saw Daniella step forward into the hallway
and then back up slightly and said, oh, thank you.
Thank you, Daniella, because I figured, well, she's she's listened

(05:29):
to me say goodbye to my brother. She's she's just
being polite. She's gonna let me pass by. There was
some stuff in the hallway, and as I rounded the corner,
expecting to see her there, I turned my head to
the right and she was clear on the other side
of the room, coming in through the front door. I
have never experienced anything like that before.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I was. You were freaked out, freaked out. I was.
I was flabbergasted. It was the look on your face.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Well when I walked, when I walked inside, I just
hear you saying thanks, Daniella, and you're back to me,
so I'm like, you're obviously not talking to me. And
then when you turned around, just like all the color
drained from your face.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I saw you step forward into the hallway.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
It's it was, yeah, I was completely confident that you
had allowed me to pass by.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
It was really weird.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
And I didn't say anything. I just kind of like
peeked around.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Nope, you didn't say anything.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
I'm glad, but that's still still and you've never had
anything like that.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I've never had anything like that.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
For it, No I'm sorry to be your first paranormal experience.
Thank you, Thank you for sharing and confirming. Yes, and
we'll try and see if there's any logical explanation.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Okay, do this sounds good?

Speaker 6 (06:44):
Thank you, Sam, he said. I didn't say anything. I
was just kind of peaked around the corner, smiled was watching.
Peaked my head back, and he was thanking me for
not coming out so they could finish moving stuff from
the hallway. But it wasn't me. I wasn't there. It
looked like me. It had my hair, was wearing the
same clothes, piled like me. But it didn't speak. It

(07:05):
just walked him. When I walked in, it seemed to
break whatever fragile logic was holding the moment together. So
this isn't the first time I felt myself's lip. This
is the first time someone else saw it in my
house where I lift. So what do we do with that?
How could this be possible? There's no carbon monoxide lead.
It was one of the first things I checked, all
the carbon monoxide detectors. I don't think the paint mumes

(07:28):
were strong enough. No one else other than me is
quitting weed right now. I want to talk about mimics,
doppelgangers and glitches. Because this phenomenon, the voice in the closet,
the girl in the hallway, this has a name, and
it's been happening to people for thousands of years, and
there's something bruly haunting about how many people apperienced this.

(07:48):
But I want a logical explanation. I don't want it
to be some disembodied spirit or some prophecy of my dad.
I feel like there has to be a reason that
this happens. I really hope there is. So I'm going
to take you through my research with me. Here, as
some other accounts of this, see if we can find
any explanation that made us feel less insane and more possible.

(08:12):
Let's start with what they call it, because humanity has
been trying to name this phenomenon for a long time.
The Germans gave us so many words, including doppelganger literally
meaning double walker, a shadow, sell a replica, not a ghost,
not a hallucination, but another you that exists outside your control.

(08:33):
The legends are old and they're extremely unnerving because to
see your doppelganger was to believe to be an omen
of death, disaster, or my personal favorite madness. Sometimes it
was said the double would move first before you did,
mimicking or even anticipating your actions. In North missology, there's
a gentler version, the var dozer. I'm butchering this word,

(08:57):
but according to Jonas l the var dozer is his
spirit percursor, an exact double of a person that arrives
at a place ahead of them, seen and heard by others,
only for the real person to arrive moments later. And
that kind of makes sense to me, like some linear
time slip. And there's a lot of stories like the
Abraham Lincoln, a few days before he was assassinated, told

(09:20):
his wife Mary Todd, that he was looking in the
mirror and saw a double of himself, but the face
was pale, and Mary Todd was thought like, oh shit,
this is this is bad and she was right. Queen Elizabeth,
the first one, allegedly encountered her doppelganger lying in her bed,
and then she died shortly afterward. I am going to

(09:40):
play for you some famous doppelganger mimic stories. This is
from BuzzFeed Unsolved. The eerie doppelganger of Emily's sage Brief.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Appearances, doppelganger of Emily Sage was almost always with her.
It said that she was aware of this entity. However,
she herself never saw it. Entity was only visible to others,
and only through their reaction was Emily alerted of its presence.
Its appearance typically reduced her energy level significantly, causing Emily
to become suddenly lethargic whenever it manifested. Some witnesses reported
that when the doppelginger would appear, Emily's face would drain

(10:11):
of color and she would be overcome with fatigue. Her
movements became listless while in the same room as the figure,
though she seemed to be oblivious to the impact it
had on her appearance and energy.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
The case of Emily.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Sage is one of the most well documented Doupplginger cases
in history, despite its credibility being questionable, mostly due to
all reports and paraphrases being traced back to a single source,
which was from a book published in the eighteen sixties
by Robert Dale Owens titled Footfalls on the Boundary of
Another World in which.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sige's story is told.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Emily Sage was a woman who began teaching at the
age of sixteen. Her lengthy history of job terminations might
lead one to think that she was just bad at
her job, but to the contrary, it said that Mademoiselle
Sage was well liked and was known to be a
good teacher. So why then was she always let go
so often and given a letter of recommendation each time?
People were not only uncomfortable with what they witnessed, but
were also.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
Frightened by I would be horrified.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
This reaction to the phantom figure ultimately led to these terminations.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Due to the fact that her dismissal was no fault
her own.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
She always received a referral from her school for her
actual work ethic, she was forced to find work in
new areas ease.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
I would demand two referrals. I'd want one for myself
as an English teacher, and I'd want my dappelganger to
teach drama, even though I called her the C word
the other day, which apparently I shouldn't have done. Let's
see what Emily calls hers.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's uncertain as to when her doppelganger first appeared, but
when the case was documented in Owen's book, Sage was
said to have been at the age of thirty two,
so it would seem as though it's been troubling Emily
since her early teaching days. At the very least, the
account took place in an all girls' school in Latvia,
which was also Sage's last known whereabouts. According to the book,
sightings began just a few weeks into her tenure at
what was by now her nineteenth school, which was the
pension out von Neuvilk School for Girls in Latvia in

(11:41):
and around eighteen forty five or eighteen forty six. As
reports very the students were mainly girls who came from
wealth and nobility, so snobbery and arrogance were pervasive. In
the fact that Emily was well liked and respected when
she started there, spoke highly of her abilities in personality.
It started innocently with Mademoiselle Sage being mistakenly placed when someone.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Asked her whereabouts.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
One student would ask if anyone had seen her, and
to other students who reports seeing her in conflicting areas
at the same time. This wasn't an isolated incident, as
it would frequently occur, leading to the girls wondering perhaps
they really had been mistaken. While these accounts were often
dismissed by other governesses as nonsensical, more undoubtable sightings were underway.
One day, while giving lessons to thirteen girls, of which
Julia von Gouldenstubeg was among them, was Alsage approached the
blackboard and proceeded to write on it. As the chalk

(12:19):
gladed across the board that the girls suddenly saw a
twin to Mademoiselle Sage materialized.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Before their eyes. They claimed the twin was.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Identical to sagee she had absorbed her twin in the womb.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
When asked about the strange event, all thirteen pupils told
the same story. However, the doppelganger wasn't always mimicking what
Mademoiselle Sage was doing. At times, Sage would rise from
a chair and the toppelganger could be seen sitting in
the chair she'd just risen from. More and more began
to witness this eerie phenomenon. Service and students alike had
reportedly witnessing the double standing behind Emily's chair. Many of
them began avoiding her my roommate school, and went to

(12:49):
live with her sister in law nearby, uttering her young children.
Her alleged former student, Julia von Goldenstube, claimed to have
visited her and the young children were fully aware of
the dappelganger.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
But those were some dusty doppelgangers. Let's get into these
modern mimics that people constantly are posting all over YouTube
and TikTok. To me, they're more terrifying, especially some of
the videos are just so subtle that they don't seem
fake to me. This is from Noah. Her channel is amazing.
It's the Black Cauldron and YouTube and I'll post to it.

(13:19):
It's mimics can on camera. She does an excellent job.

Speaker 8 (13:22):
This first clip comes from an account called Creepiest Core
and it is of a very viral video of a
woman who was at home but someone was knocking on
her bed room door alone.

Speaker 9 (13:34):
So name she was home alone that was trying to
lure her out of the room, so she did the
only logical thing and immediately took out her phone to
record a TikTok.

Speaker 10 (13:45):
Her dad wasn't home, so she got really scared, but
kept recording and decided to confront it by opening the door.

Speaker 11 (13:50):
Excep.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Another thing I would like to add is I wish
I had this instinct to be scared of hearing my
own I mean I am, but my first instinct is
to fight myself, which made me a metaphor for this
whole thing. But after Sam told me all this stuff
about seeing the other me and everything, I was walking
around the house saying, show yourself to me, you stupid hunt,

(14:13):
you disembodied boys. Let me see you. Where the hell
are you? What the hell are you?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Even right now? Where are you?

Speaker 6 (14:20):
What are you? She doesn't scare, She doesn't scare me.

Speaker 11 (14:23):
For shit.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
I would love to get into a fight. I haven't
been able to get into a fight in so long.
Is it bad that I want to physically fight myself?
This is I sound so unhinged? Okay, back to this
lovely British mimic boring.

Speaker 10 (14:36):
The whole house when she caught on camera something terrifying.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
To help me, Oh my god, and the dude too.

Speaker 10 (14:46):
At this point, she proceeds to show exactly what not
to do when you hear your own voice calling you
when you're home alone.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
I'm with you, Kayley, what's it to me? What's going on?
It's not people are throwing shit her.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (15:02):
Word of advice from a spiritualist if this ever happens.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
So you do not open the door.

Speaker 12 (15:05):
Do not?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Why do not act like you don't even hear it?

Speaker 13 (15:09):
No?

Speaker 8 (15:09):
There, young girl at home by herself, but the noises
the voice from the outside of her door, chah.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
The following two videos are from a young girl named Bella.

Speaker 14 (15:19):
She was home alone for over four hours when something weird,
something terrifying happened to her. What sounded like her mother
at her bedroom door, begging.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
To be let in. But the thing is, even though
it was.

Speaker 14 (15:30):
Her mother's voice, her mother has never spoken to her
like that, and she's home alone.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
There shouldn't be anybody there. Do what you think?

Speaker 15 (15:36):
Openmy No, they're learning there, honey, opening.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Mommy, This would send me over the ad.

Speaker 15 (15:52):
No, they're learning there.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
What happened next? Yeah, it starts growling and throws itself
at the door after she calls for help as there's sweating.

Speaker 12 (16:11):
Bell up.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Okay, I'm getting a little I'm getting a little scared now.
They's next ones are from Lowe Lane on YouTube. She's
one of my absolute favorite channels. She does a lot
of scary compilations.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Now, what is a mimic? I feel like we've been
talking about mimics a lot this year. They've been going
really viral on social media.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
But mimics are essentially a type of entity that can
mimic much like.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
The name you, a loved one, anything really that will
get your attention and get you to respond to it
or let it into your home, and the thought process
is that once you let them in, then they can
mimic you. It's also sometimes another word for flesh, pedestrians,
windy voice, whatever you want to call them, just not
the actual word. Anyways, today we have quite a few

(16:54):
mimics stories to get into, with videos from a user named.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Dave the Bearded Menace.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Amazing name for an amazing creator who I stumbled across
when his videos talking about his experiences growing up in
a haunted house went viral. Dave has a plethora of
scary stories on his account talking about these paranormal experiences,
but there's a reason why this one about the mimic
stands out. Dave says that the mimic was just that
it would mimic people's voices, I mean to a tea,

(17:20):
he says, except that it would sound like they were in.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
A slightly lower volume.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
He says, it was like if somebody was watching the
TV at like five percent, you would hear what sounded
like someone else's voice, but just quiet enough, probably.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
That you were like, did I really just hear that?

Speaker 16 (17:35):
Sometimes it sounds like it's in the next room next
to you, but still at that very low value, even
if someone was like screaming, it sounds very low, like hey,
hell like, very very low. I don't know really where
it came from, or if it was already in the
house we moved in, but I do have a feeling
it manifested the night my sister saw the old woman
in her bedroom.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Now, you, like myself, are probably wondering a old woman
in the bedroom? What is the sister seeing? Don't worry,
we'll get to that. Put that off to the side
for now. One day, Dave's mom and her friend are
standing outside and.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
They're just talking about work. They both work in retail.
They're discussing retail life when they hear what sounds.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Like a voice repeating everything that they're saying, but in
a mocking way, almost the way that like a kid
would do it.

Speaker 12 (18:15):
That's way I coudscribe it is. My mom would say
something like, hey, how was your day? And it was
literally sounding like y from.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
The back of the garage. And they were.

Speaker 16 (18:24):
Hearing this and they're like, what the hell is that.
So as to Latina women who are fearless.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
What do they decide to do?

Speaker 16 (18:30):
They decided to go investigate, you know, like they're thinking, oh,
someone's in the yarks. They heard it clear as day,
someone mimicking every single time they said something, And when
they went to the back of the garage nothing there
was like nothing there, and they're like, huh, well, it's late,
you know, it's like three thirty four o'clock in the morning.
Maybe we imagine it was a long day at work.
And then we hear from now the front of garage.
Made me imagine like just mocking them every single time

(18:50):
they said something, and they went to the front of
garage to check it out. Now you could say it
was being a distraction because my sister was by herself
upstairs with the old woman, and my mom and her
friend didn't go back into the house until they heard
my sister scream and then describe what she saw.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Our poster says that in this particular instance, what pulled
the two women.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Out of trying to figure out.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
What was going on with this voice was the sound
of his sister screaming upstairs for their mother because she
just saw an old woman in her bedroom.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Dave says he's not.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Sure if the mimic came with the house, if it
was something that was already attached to them, or if
it came with the old woman from.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
The forest that night. So let's talk about the old woman,
which I'm going to put in the category of.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
A mimic because it seems like it's sort of intertwined
with this story. It sounds very mimic like as well.
Dave says that at the time this was in the nineties,
his sister was working at a local twenty four hour
gas station nearby, about a.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Mile down the road.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
At the time, he and his family didn't have a
car to get me, so they pretty.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Much walked everywhere.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
So one day, it's late into the night slash early
into the morning, his sister is walking home from a shift,
and on her way back to the home, his sister's
it's hearing what sounds like voices coming from the woods.

Speaker 16 (20:03):
And my sister was hearing voices in the forest, particularly
voices calling her name.

Speaker 12 (20:09):
For the stink of the story, we'll call my sister
Mary Anne.

Speaker 16 (20:11):
So there you know she has been hearing Marianne, Maryanne,
just all these voices from the forest. She asked my
mom and her family friend, do you guys hear that?
And they're like, no, we don't hear a thing. So
she ignored and kept on walking, and as she got
away from the wooded area, the voices dissipated.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Now, Dave's sister had walked home with his mother and
her friend, and so they kind of break off.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
They're standing in the.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yard and they're talking about retail where they would then
experience the mimic, while his sister, mary Anne, heads into
the house. And when she's going to the house, she's
going through the living room. She's about to go upstairs,
and she notices that their family cat is like pissed
about something, like family cat is seeing something it doesn't
really like, specifically in the sister's bedroom.

Speaker 16 (20:53):
She walked into the living room and she's about to
go up the stairs to her bedroom, and she's our
old family cat or beloved cat, Pensha, sitting at the
top of the stairs and she's just staring into my
sister's bedroom. My sister's like, hey, Pansha, come down here.
What are you staring at, and the cat would not
break eye contact with whatever she was looking at in
my sister's bedroom.

Speaker 12 (21:13):
And I believe at this point in.

Speaker 16 (21:14):
Time, it was a long time ago, but I believe
at this point in time I already knew there was
something up with the house. So my sister was very
nervous to go upstairs and see what the cat was
staring at.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
So she walks up the stairs, looks the cat.

Speaker 16 (21:25):
Cat's still staring hard into her bedroom, and my sister
looks in her bedroom. In the middle of the bedroom
her bedroom, she sees a little old lady hunched out like,
kneeling down.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
In the middle of her bedroom.

Speaker 16 (21:35):
So my sister obviously is frozen and panic and she
notices that the lady has no hands, it's just nubs
where the hands would be, and my sister's staring for
a moment, and all of a sudden, the lady just
kind of turns and looks at my sister. So my
sister obviously freaks out, and the lady just looks it
towards my sister, screaming at her in Spanish, it is
all your fault, It is all your fault.

Speaker 12 (21:53):
All the west to Koopa, the cooopa. My Spanish sucks nowadays, and.

Speaker 16 (21:57):
My sister obviously closed her eyes and covers her face.
After she lowers her hands, Lady's gone. The lady's no
longer there, and she hears the cat hissing. She looks
the cat, and the cat his hissing tail wide and
everything at my sister.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
So, of course, where's my sister do?

Speaker 16 (22:11):
She screams bloody murder, runs downstairs, wakes up the whole house,
and basically tells us what happened?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
What do you mean there was a woman hunched down
in her bedroom who ran at her, screaming in Spanish. Also,
the cat was reacting to it.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
It definitely was not all in her head.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
And then take into account the fact that while all
of this is happening.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Her mother and her mother's friend.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Are currently having a paranormal experience in the front yard
of their home.

Speaker 11 (22:35):
Now.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Dave has so many stories on his account, and we're
only going to be focusing on his stories regarding the
mimic today, but I highly recommend checking.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Out his account if you like scary stories.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Not only does he share his own, but he'll share
his scariest viewers submissions as well. He's an amazing TikToker.
Make sure to check him out.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
As I do with all of these videos, I will.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Have everybody that I talk about today.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Listen down below.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
But anyway, moving on here, we have a part two
to the mimics story. Dave starts off with the story
from the time that he was around twelve or thirteen.
He'd spent the whole day outside and he wound up
taking a shower.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
At like one and I'm literally pacing around my room
in fear.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
But it was the same exact day that Princess Diana
passed away, and while he's in the shower, he hears
something terrifying.

Speaker 16 (23:16):
I'm in the shower and outside the window right next
to the shower, I could hear a woman sobbing and
it was loud.

Speaker 12 (23:25):
I believe that night, I was probably the only one
in the house.

Speaker 16 (23:31):
Going there one if he's sobbing, and I don't even
think that France gain the soap off me. I just
drive myself off and I was out. I was just
like my mom right now chilling.

Speaker 12 (23:40):
So I'm like, nope, I'm not putting up with that,
not like not in the shower.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
I'm like defenseless, Another thing that happened around this time
was that Dave was in his brother's room. His brother
was off in the army, so Dave would often spend
time in his bedroom, and while it seems like he
did this quite often, on this day, something weird happened.

Speaker 16 (23:56):
I think I was reading a comic book or I
forget what I was doing, but I distinctly heard his
voice asked, what are you doing? But he was in
the army, and he was stationed at a time at
Fort Bragg, North Carolina, so obviously it wasn't him. He
wasn't even living there. We're in Conneticut, he's in on Carolina.
Heard his voice clear as day.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
And as this video goes on, these stories just get
more and more terrifying. Whatever this thing is, it is
mimicking his family members down to a t.

Speaker 16 (24:24):
Flash forward a little bit or a lot of bit.
It was my buddy Nolan and my buddy Mike.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
We were just.

Speaker 16 (24:29):
Hanging out in the living room and we distinctly heard
my nephew's voice upstairs.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
I wonder if he called, he said something, you uncle Dave.

Speaker 12 (24:39):
Nephew wasn't even there at the time.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I believe he was.

Speaker 12 (24:42):
At a friend's house.

Speaker 16 (24:43):
He just wasn't in the house. Long story short, and
I remember my buddy Nolan specifically looking at me, putting
his hands in his face, looking back at me. He
just goes, I paid this house and left.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Dave even has a story of when his then girlfriend
now wife heard what sounded like her own voice calling
out to her while in.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
That very home.

Speaker 16 (25:03):
My then girlfriend now wife was hanging out in my
bedroom upstairs, and she said she distinctly heard my voice
call her from the other room, the room across the
way that the room specifically that my sister saw the
old woman in the same I don't know if this
was the same night or another night.

Speaker 12 (25:21):
She says, she distinctly heard a growl from that room.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Grow And this is many years after.

Speaker 16 (25:28):
It's like maybe close to twenty years or so after
my sister saw the old woman in that room. Same
girlfriend now wife was in the kitchen watching TV.

Speaker 12 (25:37):
I believe my mom's asleep in the.

Speaker 16 (25:38):
Bedroom and it was heard my cat Sputnik at the time,
just chilling, and she heard her voice, her own voice,
a come here from the upstairs bedroom.

Speaker 12 (25:49):
I think I was out getting something.

Speaker 16 (25:50):
I wasn't there at the time, she said there chilling
at the house watching TV. And the cat heard it
as well, and I remember her saying like the cat
looked at her and upstairs, and.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
The cat was like, Yo, what a fuck was that?

Speaker 16 (26:00):
And my wife just was like no, And I think
either she left or she stayed downstairs whatever, but it's
just kind.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Of she kind of ignored. It's like, nope, that's happened
to me.

Speaker 16 (26:08):
I'm hanging out in the kitchen with the cat watching
whatever on TV.

Speaker 12 (26:12):
And all of a sudden we heard her voice.

Speaker 6 (26:14):
No chance at all that it's the cat throwing its
voice and like projecting it and just messing with everyone
because it's a very spiritual being.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Maybe say come here from the living room. Both me
and the cat looked.

Speaker 16 (26:29):
We walked and investigating the living room because at the time,
spot Ink with my little buddy, like when we heard
saw something, he go looking for it.

Speaker 12 (26:34):
So she was with me like we'd go and find it,
and sure enough nothing.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
And obviously all of this is terrifying, but in Part three,
Dave explains that at one point even his brother had
an encounter with the mimic, or at the very least
heard it. So how Dave explains it is that his
dad worked really, really, really late nights. I'm talking late
late late nights, like the man sometimes would sleep on
the job so that he could get right back to
work first thing in the morning. It seems like he

(27:00):
was a very hard worker.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
And one night, when it's very very late, his brother.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Hears all of the tell tale signs of their dad
coming home. He hears him come through the door, he
hears him go into the kitchen, he hears the lid.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Come off of the pot of food that Dave's mother
left on the snow something. And I'm sure you didn't
know where this is happening.

Speaker 16 (27:17):
So my brother wakes up around the time my dad
should have came home, around one or two am, and
he distinctly hears the sound of the kitchen door opening
and then hitting the chair that was next to the
door and siting against the ground and hitting the table.
This was a regular currents in the house, and my
dad was very aggressive when he would open the door.
He just open it, hit it, and he would stomp.

Speaker 12 (27:37):
Into the house.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
My brother heard, So here's my.

Speaker 16 (27:41):
Dad stomp into the kitchen, close the door, stomp into
or rather in front.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Of like the stove and then basically pull like the top.

Speaker 16 (27:50):
Of the pot that my mama leave the pot, food
off of the pot. He distinctly heard my dad put
food onto the plate.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
But very aggressively.

Speaker 12 (27:59):
He heard like the wooden spoon hit the plate a
bunch of times. He was putting food on the plate, babe.

Speaker 16 (28:06):
He then heard my dad walk over to the kitchen table,
slide another chair out against the floor, sit down, and
he heard my dad begin to eat, and little by
little the sound was like dissipating.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Being lower and lower as he was eating.

Speaker 16 (28:19):
Now, the weirdest part about all this, if it couldn't
get weird enough, is that whoever it was, never turned
on the light before the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
They did everything in the pitch black.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Dave's brother ends up literally pulling the covers over his head.
He's absolutely terrified. He somehow falls asleep like that. In
the morning, he comes out and he doesn't see the
pot of food that he had heard his dad get
into the night before. So he asks their mother, hey,
did dad come home last night, to which their mom says, no,
he did.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Not come home.

Speaker 16 (28:44):
So yes, my mom, hey did Pop come home last night?
And Mom was like, no, he didn't come home. He
probably stayed the night over at the construction site, and
my brother instantly freaked.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Out, so he distinctly heard all of this.

Speaker 16 (28:54):
He wasn't dreaming, he was up, he was awake, and
he heard everything, And of course.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
He told my mom. My mom's like, oh, don't you know.

Speaker 12 (29:00):
Obviously my mom knows, like, don't feed into this stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
She's like, oh, don't, don't worry about it. It's fine.

Speaker 12 (29:05):
And then from then on I really didn't see much since.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Absolutely terrifying.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Once again, Dave is a new favorite account of mine.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
I highly recommend it checking him out if you enjoy
scary stories.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
But these mixed stories were too scary not to share.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
I'm going to try and find one more video from
Lowie Lane that's also of a different creator of a
that lives in Appalachia that's had a mimic that grew
over time.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
I really think this might be the scariest account on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
It belongs to.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
A woman named morg Rare Mutuals, and she lives in
a haunted Appalacha. The Apalacha Mountains are crazy haunted, so
she posts a ton of parable.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Experiences, but one of them has always stuck with me
for years.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Morg has been capturing this bizarre entity young camera who
mimics her husband, always with its back to her, and
she's never seen its face, and she's caught the thing
on camera multiple times.

Speaker 11 (30:02):
Now.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
My family has had a really creepy mimic experience, and
so this story always really stuck out to me.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
But the whole mimic thing gets.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Even creepier when you realize Morgan has also captured the
infamous Appalachia.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Hey coming from the woods on camera.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Now.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
I about to play the video.

Speaker 11 (30:22):
Just listen closely. It sounds almost human like everyone says it.
Does hear just something is.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
A bit off. I met my family's on a farm.

Speaker 17 (30:32):
I was going to come explore with my husband today,
but because he's boring, so I got to forgive us.

Speaker 6 (30:48):
Did you hear it?

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Did you hear the head?

Speaker 17 (30:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
If you hear something yell hey to you in the
woods when you're alone, No.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
You didn't, No you didn't, No you didn't. Let's keep
it moving.

Speaker 17 (30:58):
But yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
I love works account and she posts so much cool
paranormal stuff and you should check her out.

Speaker 11 (31:04):
There is something that stays around me that mimics my husband.
It mimics his looks and his voice. Do this thing
every so often. Most recently I had a full conversation
with it.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
About ice cream.

Speaker 11 (31:16):
That story somewhere on my page if you want it.
But I had a really bad experience last night. I've
called this thing on camera, I've had full conversations with it,
I've seen it in reflections of things. This is the
scariest experience that I've ever had with it. Don't know
why this one scared me so bad, but let's get
into it. So last night, my husband left to go
to the gym, and he left wearing like black basketball

(31:39):
shorts and a black shirt. So he's gone, He's like
forty minutes in, I think at this point, and I
hear a door open and shut downstairs, followed by another
door opening and shutting, like he's putting.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
His shoes in the coat closet.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
If you mean, have tad, Do you think the doors
are really opening and shutting or do these things like
manipulate sound? Do you like how I've gone from I
don't believe into him in this too? How are they
doing it? But how how does this happen? I'm sorry? Mark?
Continue I wait for.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Him to come up. I register that it's weird because.

Speaker 11 (32:10):
He always calls me on his way home and he didn't,
but I was like, oh, maybe he forgot or something
like that.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
So a few minutes past and he has.

Speaker 11 (32:17):
Not come upstairs, and not only that, I am hearing
the opening and shutting of those doors again. More time passes,
I hear the doors one more time and I check
his location because we share.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
It on that find my iPhone thing.

Speaker 11 (32:28):
It shows his location I don't have, so I'm like, Okay,
maybe he's just doing stuff downstairs.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I don't know, maybe he's like doing the.

Speaker 11 (32:35):
Surprise for me because he randomly does that. Where time passes,
I check his location again because at this point I'm like,
is he outside because it's kind of showing that he's
beside our.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
House instead of in it. So I'm like, did his phone.

Speaker 11 (32:46):
Like die and he's trying to get in the house,
and that's what the knocking is. And at this point
my brain is like, did someone break into your house?
Because it's nighttime, so at the risk of it being
a break him because I'm hearing these noises, I decided
to just call him, and when he answers, and I
hear jim noises in the background. My heart sinks, pilling,
what's going on? I'm like, I thought you were downstairs.

(33:08):
I think someone's in the house. Should I call nine
one one. By the time I finish the sentence, this
man is already.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Off the door of the.

Speaker 11 (33:14):
Gym, and I check his location out of curiosity, and
it is.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Now saying he's at the gym. It's not saying he's
here anymore. He's like, lock the door of the bedroom,
staying there. I am my way, so.

Speaker 11 (33:24):
Whenever he gets here, he says he's pulling into the
parking lot of our apartments.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
As goes.

Speaker 11 (33:30):
So I wait upstairs until I hear the door open,
and then I come out of the bedroom and come downstairs.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
As I go around the curve of our stairs, I
see my husband walk by the stairs. He didn't address me,
but I.

Speaker 18 (33:42):
Assume he's just checking the house, so I call for him.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Still nothing. I come down the stairs and.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
I look to my left and see him coming around
the corner to this area that I'm in in the kitchen,
and I'm like, why isn't he speaking to me at
this point?

Speaker 4 (33:55):
So I start walking. I'm in my dining room and
I hear he's turn in the door behind me, turn.

Speaker 11 (34:02):
Around and come face to face with my husband who
is walking in the front door behind He was not
in the kitchen. He was not in the house yet,
comes in, checks the house. Everything's fine, all the doors
were locked, all the windows were locked and shut.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
Just be her realize but ild just stay in the.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
Bedroom until I got inside.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
What are you doing?

Speaker 11 (34:17):
And I was like, you were you were in here,
I saw you.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
So now he's freaked out.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
We go to bed feeling weird, The house feels weird.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Everything just feels gross.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
And I wake up to this this morning.

Speaker 11 (34:28):
Keep in mind, I have mentioned nothing on TikTok about this.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
I've mentioned nothing to.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
Know one about this other than my husband I met
with this comment. I'm feeling the doppelganger through this video
be careful this week.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
And they have been right about a lot.

Speaker 11 (34:41):
Of the things that they have sends in my videos
and that I have seen and just not said anything.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
So this sent absolute.

Speaker 11 (34:47):
Chills down my spine because I filmed the video that
they commented that on right here, right where that doppelganger
remmic ended up coming like this is where they walked to.
Not only did I acknowledge this thing and call for it,
I followed, And I don't want to know what would
have happened if I had ended up in the kitchen.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
Nothing, What could he see?

Speaker 2 (35:05):
It was so long.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
I want to hear a little bit more from her,
because she's documented this so well for so long, and
it seems to kind of bother their her.

Speaker 11 (35:15):
She'll take breaks.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
From it, which just seems so sincere to me.

Speaker 11 (35:19):
Be the stories of all the times I have seen
my husband's doppelginger.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Now, if you've been here for a while, you've.

Speaker 11 (35:24):
Heard all of these because I have been posting it
as it's happened for a long time now memorytelling all
of my personal paranormal stories so.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
They can have better quality, and I had to include
this one.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
But let's get into it.

Speaker 11 (35:35):
Also, I have footage of this thing, actual footage.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
I'll post this screenshot.

Speaker 11 (35:40):
I'm actually reposting that video where I called it tonight
because I posted the first part of the video of
you it was last night, and I'm going to post
part two tonight so you can watch that. But I'll
also show the screenshot here for reference. My husband wears
a red flannel a lot and has a man ben
pretty distinguishing features when morrying.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
I was upstairs getting ready in.

Speaker 11 (35:58):
That bathroom, and the way my house is set up,
it's a bathroom is here, and then there's a bedroom
and a bedroom and then like the bathroom all stairs.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
You know what I mean, It's like a cross.

Speaker 11 (36:06):
So I was getting ready with my bathroom door open,
and I look look in the mirror or I turned around.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
I honestly can't remember which I did. It happened a
while ago, but I see my.

Speaker 11 (36:15):
Husband standing at the top of his stairs with his
back to me and by a red flannel.

Speaker 18 (36:19):
So I turned back.

Speaker 11 (36:20):
Around to keep getting ready, and then I thought of
something to ask him.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
So I turund to ask him, and he's gone.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I didn't hear him go anywhere, but I.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Hear a movement in the bedroom.

Speaker 11 (36:27):
So I go in the bedroom and he's not even.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Wearing a red flannel. Only is he not wearing it.

Speaker 11 (36:31):
It's downstairs and he couldn't have went to switch it
out that fast because he wouldn't lie.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
I was pretty freaked out.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
I've seen this thing numerous times. It always has its
back to me. It always has on.

Speaker 11 (36:40):
That red flannel and here lately I see it in
the reflection of things.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
My husband went to pick.

Speaker 11 (36:45):
Up our takeout one night and I saw it in
the reflection of our living room window. He wasn't even home,
and stuff like that happens a lot.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Now let's get into where I call footage of it.

Speaker 11 (36:53):
So for backstory of this video, my husband, Okay, my
family has a really.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Hot in farm, which if you've been keeping up with me.

Speaker 11 (36:59):
Or even the playlist, you know, we were going to
go there and film some skits, try to get some footage,
but he had to work earlier that day, so I
went up there by myself and he was going to
meet me. So I was trying to film an intro
to whatever footage I was going to capture, and.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
It got interrupted twice.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
The first video I actually reposted last.

Speaker 11 (37:15):
Night, I heard a hey three times.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Each time it got closer, but there was no one there.
There was no movement, like it just got closer.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Sorry about my cat. She she's a star.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
So I stopped the filming.

Speaker 11 (37:26):
And then retried it, and I thought I heard my name,
and I'm pretty sure I can hear it on the footage,
but just in the background.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
You can see it clear's day.

Speaker 11 (37:33):
I'm going to post a picture of what my husband
looks like in the screenshot.

Speaker 13 (37:36):
It's like my.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
Husband talking from upstairs when he was hoping. So I
started recording.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
I just.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
No, what does it sound like you?

Speaker 4 (37:51):
It sounds like you like it sounds like you. Don't
go up there, don't go there.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Don't go there.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
It's calling her, you Morgan Morgan. He doesn't hear it
while she's recording. I'm sorry the audio this isn't because
it's out that one has three million views. I'll try
into all of these. He has so meant this with
my husband's voice, but he wasn't even home. Dog's whimpering

(38:25):
from upstairs, it says to her, it sounds strange. It
sounds like it takes it so much energy.

Speaker 11 (38:30):
To talk.

Speaker 9 (38:32):
The freaking out.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
She noticed he's not home.

Speaker 6 (38:39):
You want to hear a few more.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Across a different video of this user Jordan Smichael.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
I will talk about that video in a minute. But
then I realized he also has a mini story.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
On his old and said that this is a story
he genuinely thinks he just blocked out after it happened,
and for good reason.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
It is terrifying.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
So Jordan comes home from school one day and he's
pretty much home alone. Everyone else is out of the
house for one reason or another. In his family home.
Now there's a strict no gaming on weekdays policy in
Jordan's house.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
But he's home alone.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
He gets on his computer, he's going to play his game.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
He's in his room.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
He's playing his game when suddenly he hears what sounds
like something dropping right outside of his door, and he
kind of ignores that he knows he's home alone until
he hears the sound again. And this is where the
story takes a terrifying turn.

Speaker 17 (39:29):
Anyways, fast forward. I'm chilling on my bunk bed and
all of a sudden, I hear something drop from outside
of my room.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
So I immediately think.

Speaker 17 (39:37):
That it's my older brother coming back home from practice,
and I continue doing what I was doing. About three
seconds later of not acknowledging this noise, I hear something
else dropped.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I decided to yell, what are you doing?

Speaker 17 (39:48):
Because keep in mind, if my older brother was in
there dropping or breaking stuff, I'm not about to get
the blame for it. Now tell me why. I hear
woman's voice go making food? So I remember in that moment,
I kind of rose for a bit, and you know
when your heart starts beating uncontrollably and it feels like
it's literally like popping out of your chest.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
That's what it felt.

Speaker 17 (40:08):
So I remember getting up, climbing down from the top
of my bunk bed and walking to my door. Now
keep in mind this whole entire time, I did not
open my door, so the door's closed, and I remember yelling,
what are you cooking?

Speaker 2 (40:19):
So my mom could hear?

Speaker 17 (40:21):
Because I was curious, and plus my mom she never
usually cooks this early in the afternoon unless she's cooking
like a big meal, so I was just I wanted
to know what she was cooking. So I remember the
voice or my mom didn't say anything for like a while,
and then all of a sudden, blurts out, I'm cooking spaghetti.
The voice of my mom was like freaky. It was
very monotoned. I don't know, it was just like it

(40:43):
wasn't like it didn't sound real. So I remember saying
one last thing, and this is where things got insane.
So I ended up yelling I don't smell anything and
tell me why. Literally three seconds later, the voice I
once heard from Afar is now right at my door.
So I remember it laughed and it said open your
door and you'll be able to smell it.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
This is terrifying. He's terrified.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
He locks his bedroom door, and alarmingly, he hears what
sounds like someone breathing.

Speaker 6 (41:08):
On the other This is making me realize how stupid
I am and how I have no paranormal survival skills,
because I would answer the door and be like, mom,
what's wrong with you? Just be like, I assume she
was having a depressive episode. Sorry, Mom, I love you.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
He's like, my mom is not acting like this, Like
this is not something my.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Mother would do.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
He goes to his window, looks outside, and sure enough,
his mom's car is not in the driveway.

Speaker 17 (41:33):
My first instinct is to go up on my bed,
grab my phone and immediately call my mom.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
And that's exactly what I did.

Speaker 17 (41:39):
As I'm dialing, I started hearing my doorknob like moving,
like it was jingling, as if like they were going
to open it, but because I locked it, they could
not open it. So I immediately hop off my bed.
I run to my door, and I grabbed the knob
so that you know it's not turning anymore.

Speaker 12 (41:52):
My mom.

Speaker 17 (41:52):
She finally picks up, so she answers the call, yelling
at me, telling me how she's almost home. And I'm
just like, in my mind, I'm like that the mom
that I know, not this like weird, calm, monotoned voice
that I'm hearing.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
So I confirm out loud that she's on her way.
So I go, so you're on your.

Speaker 12 (42:09):
Way home, and.

Speaker 17 (42:10):
Like, I hang up just to indicate to this person
or thing that I know that they're not who I
think that they are. Now this is where things got
even more crazier, because.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
As soon as I hung up that my.

Speaker 17 (42:21):
Door, whenever was behind it starts immediately banging on it.
So my heart drops to my stomach and I start screaming.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
The voice keeps yelling.

Speaker 17 (42:28):
Open the door, open the door, and I'm like, I'm
still screaming in fear. I remember at one point the
banging stopped and the voice started crying. I remember it
was a soft cry, and it was pleading to me.
It was pleading that I opened the door because it
wanted to see me.

Speaker 12 (42:41):
And I don't know if it had me like under
a spell.

Speaker 17 (42:44):
Or something, but something in me was telling me to
like open the door.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Like I had that urge goodness, I did not, Like
I knew.

Speaker 12 (42:52):
That I shouldn't and I didn't.

Speaker 17 (42:53):
So about five minutes of just hearing these these crying
more banging on the door, I finally hear my mom's
carpeep outside. Uddly the crying knocking and door knob moving stuff.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
After all of this, finally Jordan's mother comes home and
she had been out actually getting him more reads for
his clarinet.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
He'd like chipped his last clarinet read. So she's yelling,
open up the door. I have your stuff.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
But he's like scarred from this experience he just had,
thinking is that my mom?

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Is it not my mom?

Speaker 17 (43:24):
Luckily it was her. I, like, I truly believe I
encountered the mimic and I'm just so thankful I did
not open up that door, because I would not be
here right now.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
That is one of the scariest stories I have ever
heard around a mimic, around literally anything ever.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
I stumbled across what.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
I believe is a mimic story from a TikToker named
Umpty tan Bee.

Speaker 8 (43:44):
Now.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Her parents bought a house in New Jersey in nineteen
sixty eight, after it had literally just been built in
nineteen sixty six. They were like the first owners of
this house. And this house was so I hate when
you want to the point that this poster's mother wouldn't
even sleep in the same bedroom as her father because
that was the room that everything seemingly happened.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
So that neighborhood.

Speaker 18 (44:06):
Itself was supposedly built on top of a.

Speaker 12 (44:09):
Burial ground, or an Indian burial ground, and they.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
Said a lot of act this entire country was.

Speaker 18 (44:14):
And a lot of the houses when I used to
talk to their neighbors, they shared a lot of the
same stories.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
And it seems like the whole family kind of knew
this was the case. And the poster says that these
paranormal happenings were happening like long before she was even
a twinkle in her parent's eye.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
But they couldn't just.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Leave this house they had bought.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
I feel like that's a lot of the.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Times that people will say, you know, oh, if it's
an insanely hanted house, just get out.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
But what are you going to do when all.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Your money is sunk into this one place and one
day our poster is in in that bedroom her parents'
bedroom where her mother will not sleep. Her mom is
downstairs mopping, her dad is out. She has I think
she said, like six other siblings, none of them are
really around. And she's in front of a mirror in
her parents' room. She sees something standing behind her.

Speaker 18 (45:00):
And I was in their room for whatever reason, and
I was just playing with their stereo system. Behind the
stereo system, there was a wall mirror, and I just
remember playing at the stereo system looking up and my
mom was standing behind me.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
I could see her in the mirror.

Speaker 18 (45:12):
But my mom wasn't wearing anything. And what I mean
she wasn't wearing anything. I mean, she was completely not
wearing anything. So I turn around, thinking this is weirds,
and I look and my mom's not there.

Speaker 12 (45:23):
She's not behind me.

Speaker 11 (45:23):
Oh no.

Speaker 18 (45:24):
So I turned back around to look in the mirror
and she's still standing there. So I run as fast
as I can out the room, hit my knee on
our couch, start crying.

Speaker 12 (45:32):
My mom's like, don't go in there.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
That's why I don't go in there.

Speaker 18 (45:34):
The only person that slept in my room in that
room was my dad. He always he didn't nothing bothered him.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Now that is a.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Mimic if I've ever heard of one. I mean, that's
literally what a mimic does. It mimics something that you know,
somebody that you know, tries to lure you in with
this like.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
False sense of security.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
It certainly sounds like a mimic type of entity to me.
But then she tells another story in this video that
makes me wonder if even something else. One night, there's
a really big storm and the powers out, and she
says that her mom was kind of just insoling all
the kids, like telling them stories, talking to them, trying
to keep them occupied as.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
The power is out, trying.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
To keep them calm, and they hear a huge crash
from the kitchen. She said, literally, what sounded like the
ceiling fan.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
Fell in the kitchen.

Speaker 18 (46:20):
Sound like our ceiling fan in the kitchen had fallen
out of the ceiling onto the floor, glass one everywhere.
So my dad comes out of the room, his room
that he was in. He's like, oh my god, like
I got to clean this up. And my mom's like, yeah, well,
watch your feet, you know, don't walk in there with
no shoes on his glass on the floor. So he
goes to bend the corner to go look. He goes
back in his room and he doesn't say anything. He

(46:42):
closes the door, and my mom's like, are you going
to clean up the glass? Are you going to clean
it up?

Speaker 2 (46:45):
And he's like, I'm not.

Speaker 18 (46:46):
I'm not gonna go in there. So my mom's like,
why why aren't you going in there? So she goes,
she gets up, she goes and looks in the kitchen
and there's nothing on the floor, nothing at all.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
That certainly was not all that happened in the house.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
They would hear what sounded like somebody moving around in
the kitchen, pots and pants. Mother would always just say,
don't look in the kitchen when things like that would happen.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
We used to hear.

Speaker 18 (47:07):
Books slamming in the upstairs room. We all slept, like
me and my mom, my brothers, all of us slept
in living room because we were so afraid of the house.
My my mom didn't want to move, my dad didn't
want to move. They bought the house, they were trying
to sell it. We used to hear books slamming, just
like all throughout the night. You would hear like it
sounded like someone was taking a textbook and just slamming
it on the floor as hard as they could.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Some nights we would hear in the.

Speaker 18 (47:28):
Kitchen like someone was clanking pots and pans, spoons and forks,
and my mom would say, don't look in the kitchen,
just ignore it and go to bed.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Eventually it stopped. Eventually they left the house. But I mean,
whatever this was mimicking her mother like that in the
mirror in such a terrifying way, and then the ceiling
fan seemingly falling out of the ceiling, but nothing had
actually crashed in the kitchen.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
Whatever it was had to be pretty powerful.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
The poster says, like, this is not stuff she plays with,
and I fully understand why after having parable experiences like these.
Now the final Tiktoks that we're going to be talking about.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
Today, And I know you guys are like, this video
is literally halfway over. What do you mean the final
TikTok's gonna be talking about today?

Speaker 3 (48:13):
The rest of this video is all focusing on a
story coming from the same account, that being the TikTok account,
a man named Hunter who went incredibly viral one day
after starting a video by saying.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Good morning, it's five am.

Speaker 13 (48:26):
Let me tell you a very scary story about how
I was stalked by what I think was a skinwalker.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
Now this might sound familiar to.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
You if you watch my live streams, because I actually
watched these videos for the first time with you guys,
and a lot if I was watching like.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Scary videos that you have tagged.

Speaker 6 (48:42):
Me in the family man.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
This story, I mean, it is like a seven part
thing genuinely creeps me out for the rest of the
night the first time I heard it. So Hunter starts
us off by saying that he grew up into Mecula,
specifically in an area called Deluz.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
He's lived there twice in his life. Once is a
very young boy, and then I think a little bit
older into his adolescence.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
But when he was very very young, his family lived
in an area that was surrounded by like groves and
trees and stuff. And he said when he was growing up,
he would always hear what sounded like voices talking to
him from the trees in a language he couldn't really understand,
but he.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Would like talk back to them.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
They would find arrowheads in the backyard, and this area
just seemed very very active.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
He said.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
One thing that always stuck with him though, is that
as a little boy, anytime he was alone in the backyard,
he always felt like he was being watched.

Speaker 13 (49:35):
And so one night, when I was a little little boy,
I asked my dad in the middle of the night
to walk down to the kitchen with me and get
a glass of water. And we had this really big
plate window in the kitchen and staring back at me
with these giant orange eyes. And I have never been

(49:57):
able to like describe the fear and the dread of
seeing these unblinking, giant orange eyes. That was probably an animal, honestly,
but you can't rationalize that when you're like four or
five years old. Even now, whenever I have nightmares, I genuinely.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
See those orange eyes.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
The orange eyes come back into play, by the way
and the most terrifying way possible. As I said, he's
lived in this area device once when he was very young,
and then when he was a little bit older, when
his father passes away, he and his family moved back
to Deluze. He's kind of in like a neighborhood in
a residential area. There are kids his age that he

(50:41):
can play with and go on by rides and stuff with.
And something that he and his brother loved was that
there was a random tree house in the grove of
trees near their home.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
They had always wanted a tree house.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
This was just something they'd always talked about, and so
they're like.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
This is our tree house. We're laying claim on it,
and we're going to fix it up.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
It's like a rotted, slowly deteriorating tree house.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
But something you said was strange was the smell.

Speaker 13 (51:08):
The thing with that is there's a lot of rust,
and so like you can already smell this like very
like tany rusty smell in the air. And so we
then say, this is our tree house. No one's clearly
using it, so let's make it ours. And we go

(51:30):
back to the house and we start getting tools. We
start working on this, and whenever we have neighbor friends over,
we go work on the tree house. It was basically
like Mom would take us home depot, we'd get a
couple two by fours, some nails and start hammering it in.
And so about a month later, my brother, Chase and

(51:50):
my mom go on a field trip to Sacramento because
i was the big trip at the time, and so
I'm staying with some neighbor friends and their son Taylor,
and I get on my bike one day after school
and I'm like, hey, I'm gonna go ride my bike
and they're like, oh.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Where are you going to go? And I said, oh,
the treehouse and the mom is like what treehouse?

Speaker 13 (52:09):
So I'm like, oh, you know the one that's like
up sounds of a terrorists and she's like, honey, don't
go there.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I was like why and she's like, don't just don't
go there please. I'm like, okay, this is weird.

Speaker 13 (52:22):
So I went there because I'm dumb, and he needs
to give up working on the treehouse. And I've never
seen him before, and so I'm like hey, hello, and
he like waves back.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
And so I come up and I'm like hi, I'm
a hunter.

Speaker 13 (52:37):
What's your name? And he says I'm working on the treehouse.
I'm like yeah, I see that. That's cool, Like what, like,
is this yours? And he's like no, I like it though.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
I'm like okay. So he's given my fairly short one
word answers.

Speaker 13 (52:51):
The thing that I'm noticing now is that that rusty
smell from before is heightened.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
It is a lot that smells like this rust.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
It's like blood and rust. It's very metallic.

Speaker 13 (53:05):
Smell, and I'm starting to get pretty queasy, like really
off putted, and I'm almost about to throw up. And
this kid is just like he's working on the treehouse,
but it's almost as if like he's acting out working
on the treehouse, like he's not actually doing anything. And
so I'm trying to get like asking more questions, like
where he lives, and he's only really giving one word

(53:26):
to answers, he gives answers at all, and I'm just
starting to feel weird and my stomach feels sick from
the smell. And I'm like, hey, I know you're gonna
go now. I'm like okay, And so I'm like, well,
I see you later. Still don't have his name, and
I get on my bike and I ride away and
I like look back, and he's then standing in the field,

(53:47):
like standing where these houses were supposed Pep built. Later
that night, I can't sleep, like I can't sleep at all.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Oh, you don't want him to see it again.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
And I feel this like need to look up the window.

Speaker 6 (53:59):
And he's out there and.

Speaker 19 (54:00):
There's this kid standing at the top of the driveway.
I'm like, it's genuinely like my all that hair is
like standing on my own, standing in the driveway, and
it's clearly this kid.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
But it says if this kid is like crooked, it's.

Speaker 13 (54:14):
It's literally like he's looking like this, just standing there,
and I like blink and like I close the blinds,
and I can feel like you when you feel someone's presence,
like coming up.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
To a window, you know they're there. And I could
not sleep that entire night because I felt that presence at.

Speaker 13 (54:34):
That window, and like right before in the morning, it
was a Friday, and so I just had a check
for myself and I went outside before we left for school,
and I looked and there were like these weird misshapen
like it.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Looked like a footprint, but it.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
Was almost it was made by an animal.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
No, just standing in front of that window.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
And I get chills every time he describes the misshapen
figure by the window that.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Kind of looked like this little boy.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
I mean, down to the footprints that were outside of it.
It's made absolutely tim and the same clearly willing him
to know that was there. This goes insanely viral, and
the people need a part too. So he comes back
and basically says that after his mom and his brother
went on this field trip to Sacramento that they you know,
came home, but weird things were happening.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Around the house.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Doors would opening close on their own, his computer would
turn on by itself in the middle of the night.
And then he talks about the dark figure that he
would see standing in the house.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Whenever I would wake up in the middle of the night,
I would.

Speaker 13 (55:31):
Always see a figure, and like it was just this
dark figure that would always be like just ever so
slightly out of glints, like sometimes like when you see
shapes at night, you can pretty much figure out that
it's something in your house.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
This was humanoid. This was a figure.

Speaker 13 (55:48):
And what I don't like, I can't explain is the
fact that light would not reflect off of it like
a normal object. It's as if light went into it
and stopped.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
We now come to the part of this story where
a once in every thirty year snowstorm happens in Temecula.

Speaker 4 (56:04):
It's five in the morning. A hunter goes to his
mom's room. He's like, it's snowing else you are not.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
Awake right now, go back to bad And as he's
going back to his room, he sees the crooked figure
once more.

Speaker 13 (56:16):
So as I'm on my way back from my mom's
room to my room, I passed by the kitchen, which, right, what.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
A standing outside? Okay, it's the crooked figure.

Speaker 13 (56:26):
It's just standing there in the snow, and I can
clearly tell that snow is on it, and I, like, genuinely,
every single fiber of my being knows what I saw.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
It was just standing there.

Speaker 13 (56:39):
And the thing that I still can't explain is that
its eyes were orange. I know in part one I
said it could have been an animal. Every fiber of
my being says that that thing had orange eyes. It
felt like this thing has been following me since I
was a child. Later that day, we play in the
snow all that, but I take a second just for

(57:00):
myself and I walk out back and I see the
same prince.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
It's the exact same prince that we're outside the window.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
It's there, and after this point, he feels like you
can always always see this thing out of his peripheral,
like it's always following him, always observing him.

Speaker 13 (57:16):
It never felt like it wanted to do anything nefarious.
It always felt like it was curious, like it wanted
to know more, It wanted some amount of a connection
like it in a weird way. It felt like you
wanted a friend, way terrifying to a ten year old.
And so a couple of years later, when we go

(57:36):
to sell the house, the house is emptied at this point,
and I'm just like walking around.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
I don't know where my mom is, and my brother.

Speaker 13 (57:41):
Is somewhere on the other side of the house, and
I hear the voice from the treehouse just call out,
saying goodbye. And it's always as if because then I
start trying and follow the voice, like where is this
coming from.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I'm trying to run around, I'm trying to like find it.
I can't find it.

Speaker 13 (57:56):
There's a little shed on the property, cute cute little shed,
and I go outside and I see the boy from
the treehouse whatever that I saw all those you know,
months ago, and he goes into the shed and so
like I run into the shed.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
There's nothing there.

Speaker 13 (58:14):
There's a part of me that feels like that spirit,
whatever it was, was trapped and it was just looking.

Speaker 6 (58:20):
For some of them out of the house.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
And so I'm saying goodbye. And that's the end of
the story, right. Well, a lot of people kept asking,
why did your friend's mom like why did the neighbor
friend's mom.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
Say, do not go to that treehouse?

Speaker 3 (58:36):
So Hunter reaches out to her and just basically says,
I'm you know, telling this story. Why did you say that?
And he gets an email back from her.

Speaker 13 (58:44):
I reached out to my next door neighbor and I
asked her about.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Why she said not to go to the treehouse. And
so this is from Taylor's mom. High Hunter, It's been
a long time.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Yes, I do remember the treehouse, as memory serves me.

Speaker 13 (58:58):
When we first moved to the neighborhood, we went on
a walk one evening up around where your house and
several others were still being built. For whatever reason, we
decided to walk one of the lots that had just
been graded.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
We had only been there for a couple of minutes,
but there.

Speaker 13 (59:10):
Was this nice We both smelled it and could in
place where it was coming from.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
So when I looked towards the trees at.

Speaker 13 (59:16):
The far end of the lot line, I could have
sworn I saw a small boy standing under what look
like a pile of rotten wood stuck in a tree.
A couple days later, Taylor remarked on meeting a young
boy his age in our backyard who told him about
a treehouse and said he should go to it. Even today,
my skin crawl is just thinking about it. You'd never
seen that little boy. Since I watched your video, Yes,
I think that was the thing Taylor and I both saw.

(59:38):
Give all my love to your mom and brother. May
God bless you and keep you safe.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
The fact that she described not exactly what he was saying,
of course, but so much of what she was saying
really played into the stories that he had already told.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
Just chills all over my body.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
At this point, I am so invested in this story and.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
There's still a lot to get through. People are sort
of chiming in on this, saying this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Area that you're talking about, Deluze, like there is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
Just a weird energy. I think in part really he
said something to the line.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Of this area has a very ancient energy.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
It's just it's very mystical.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
It feels different than anywhere else. A commenter says, the
moment you said, Deluz, I got scared. How did these
a property off of Carancho Road?

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
You ever hear the drums?

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
And this is where a hunter kind of explains this
insane phenomena that has come out of the temeculate area.
I suppose about these drums, that people will hear, drums
that would come out of nowhere and echo through the
canyons of Deluze. And even as he's explaining this, the
hair on his arm stands straight up, like this is
a phenomena he's familiar with.

Speaker 13 (01:00:44):
Anytime that something weird would happen in and around to
louz So voices in the trees, seeing this little boy
right before we moved out, or just in random times
during the year, there would be the sound of drums
that would just echo through the blues, through the canyons,
through the trees, and I could never place it in like.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
I'm getting goose umps again.

Speaker 13 (01:01:09):
It was as if it sounded like someone was preparing
for it sounded like the beating of drumming up this energy,
this weird, honestly undescribable sense. And so one of the
times that I distinctly remember the drums happening and then
something weird occurring was the first time that my computer
turned on in the middle of the night.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
This was after my mom.

Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
And my brother got pa.

Speaker 13 (01:01:32):
I was outside for whatever reason that night, and I
could hear just a couple of drum beats, and it
was far in the distance.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
It was not close.

Speaker 13 (01:01:39):
And so later that night, when I'm falling asleep looking
through the door, my bed's here, doorways here, and this figure.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Just walks past.

Speaker 13 (01:01:47):
And as he walks past, or it walks past, I
don't know what it is. It like stops and it
clearly turns and just looks and stands and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Watches, and I like it.

Speaker 13 (01:02:00):
It feels like we're having like a twenty minute stare off.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
And then it just walks away.

Speaker 13 (01:02:05):
And so I get out of bed and I look,
there's nothing there, but I turn around, and like right
as I turn around, another like shadow or whatever like
goes out like it was waiting in this doorway and leaves.

Speaker 12 (01:02:17):
And then what it leaves like there's.

Speaker 13 (01:02:18):
The windows XP like turn on, sound like doo dooo
doo doo.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
And like my computer boots on. And I can't explain that,
like I was.

Speaker 6 (01:02:28):
I feel like maybe it God transferred into the machine
and got stuck there. Most hopeful, most hopeful scenario. I
want to play a few more from TikTok that really
freaked me out, just because I really want the full
context of these different experiences, and also to just I
don't even know. I don't know what I'm looking for,

(01:02:50):
what information I think I'm gonna find here? Because I've
scared myself so much at this point, I think I'm crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
I'm home alone. I'm hearing myself. I hear my own voice,
hearing my own voice.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
I'm telling you, bro, I hear my own.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
Listen, listen.

Speaker 6 (01:03:10):
I can't hear.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
Show show. What the fuck?

Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
There's no one there, and it's him talking. It's telling him,
come here, come here.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
I'm fugging out, What the fuck I'm.

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
Supposed to be gratifying for the mimic to get this reaction?
What it's like Tony Sopranos, He's a mimic pounding on
his store.

Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
What the.

Speaker 6 (01:03:48):
F it's his voice?

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Oh my god?

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
But no one really, No one goes and explores or
becomes confrontational when hearing their own voice. And I have
a problem with this because I feel I'm not alone
in having like the first instinct be to confront whatever
the thing is. I don't feel like, in my mind,
even if I heard my voice other than when it
actually happened, so I should shut up. But if this

(01:04:15):
happened right now, I feel like it would still try
and find a logical explanation, like when I heard my
voice from the closet, I opened the closet. There was
it was basically like a cupboard. No one could have
been in there. But still, you know, you check right
or do you just feel so crazy if you experience
something like this?

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Really can't explain why, but there has been such an
influx of mimic content on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
The whole thing kicks off when this TikToker named.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Melody Rose starts to make a seemingly normal TikTok at
home one night, saying okay first of all, and she
starts going into some kind of rant when she hears
something say her name clear as day, and the kicker
is she's home alone.

Speaker 20 (01:04:57):
Tell me that if you have.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
Yeah, if you listen really closely throughout this TikTok, you
can also hear, as she's just sitting there, something say
Melody like that, like her full actual name, Holiday.

Speaker 16 (01:05:27):
Davie.

Speaker 20 (01:05:27):
It was my cat and she sounds like a human sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
That was you right.

Speaker 12 (01:05:43):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
Once it's light outside.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Melody makes a follow up to this video explaining a
little bit more talking about where her head's at, but
also saying that at the end of the day she
doesn't know what that was.

Speaker 20 (01:05:55):
Okay, but first of all, this is the exact same
spot I was standing in right. I feel like it's
really quiet. I wanted to say, if, like, I could
hear the ringing, because I do hear the ringing back
in the other one. I don't hear it now.

Speaker 21 (01:06:11):
But you've more like me where she tries to replicate
it and be like, I want to show.

Speaker 20 (01:06:16):
Everything I have to do before it gets dark out.
But once it is dark out, I'm going to come
right here with that same light and see if that
was creating the ringing, or see if I can make
sense of anything else.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Now, as far as Melody's account, when I last looked
at it, there were no real major updates to this,
and many people believe that this is entirely a hoax,
that it was edited.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
In by her.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Like it sounds a lot like her voice, but this
is what mimics do. They mimic a voice that's familiar
to you, whether it's yours, a loved one thing else.
Entirely not to say this is a totally real, like
parormal thing.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
I'm just saying, this is what mimics are, but it
doesn't stop with melody. I saw another TikTok that popped
up from the account branson.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
Dot twenty twenty, captioned, hubby isn't home, but I can
hear them calling me. First time I hear babe, help,
and then the second time I hear my name. That
help then sounds like footsteps. And you just have to
hear this for yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
Making some chies over there.

Speaker 11 (01:07:08):
You've got to make some extra this morning, said he's
gonna bring over his frick.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
They are you home? The neck the doorstone door's not
even open.

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
Okay, anyways, I.

Speaker 12 (01:07:24):
Don't know what that was.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
I'm hearing things getting.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
Crazy, almost done chopping up these potatoes.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
This is what I hate when they're just doing like
cooking videos or their makeup and then you have like
so they play a.

Speaker 21 (01:07:37):
Brank on me.

Speaker 11 (01:07:38):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Babe?

Speaker 7 (01:07:40):
Are you home?

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
You can hear a man, a man's voice say babe.
You can literally hear a man talking. And she seems
so earnestly freaked out by this.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
I really think she just set up her camera to
like vlog her.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
And then her husband's will I don't know like that
had to be terrified. Here's another one from a completely
separate poster. This one is from me Moukebong's. Her muc
Bong mu Bong account is really really good too. I
watched a bunch of them while he is eating my dinner.
For a normal mouk Bong when she hears her child
yell out for her, but her kids says, they weren't

(01:08:17):
saying anything.

Speaker 17 (01:08:19):
What's the It's Taco Tuesday and am tacos?

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Why?

Speaker 12 (01:08:26):
Real?

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
What? Why do you call me? Did you didn't you
call me?

Speaker 6 (01:08:44):
I heard him call her, but that was coming from
another side.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
It's not lost on me that these videos tend to
go really really viral because people are absolutely terrified of
a concept such as a mimic. I know it because
in videos that I have made on TikTok talking about
these videos talking about mimics, they have also gone viral,
and people have talked about having similar experiences hearing someone
call out their name when they know they're the only
person home alone.

Speaker 6 (01:09:09):
Are we are just hearing their own name and call.

Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
Out to them in the middle of the night and
just choosing to ignore it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
I was shocked by.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
How common mimic experiences are, and then I stumbled across
one more experience.

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
Now we're going to have a couple of videos from.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
This person named Dustin Lee Frasier and Dustin's mimic experience
comes straight from the Appalachian Mountains themselves.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Side No, I'm sick.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Of y'all telling me that I don't pronounce Appalacha right.

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
Do you know where I'm from?

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
Because I know y'all hear the slip into the accent.
Sometimes I know how to say the word Appalachia. A
lot of people think you're supposed to say it Appalachian Mountains, Appalachia.
You can say it multiple ways, but the way is
the way people from the South say it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
Don't try to school me. I'm a Georgia girl at heart.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Back to Dustin, though, this entire thing kicks off with
one video that went super viral, captioned, sometimes I hate
living in the Appalachian Mountains, especially at night.

Speaker 6 (01:10:03):
This sounds like animals. I never knew this when my
parents live.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
In Barking, like right outside of Dustin's home.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Despite the fact that he says that he does not
have dogs, and initially I'm just coulda be explained as
like wild dogs or like their neighbors or something like that. However,
the story doesn't stop here. Shortly after, Dustin responded to a.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Comment that said, baby, if you heard.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
It, No you didn't close those blinds and put some
headphones in.

Speaker 6 (01:10:29):
And in this video, this is where I learned to
tell told Sam that he wasn't supposed to talk to it.
It's watching all these videos from the Appalachian Mountains where
they're like, if you hear it, No you didn't see it.
No you didn't because it's not my instinct. My instinct
would be to talk to it too.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Oh you not only hear that strange barking, but something
much scarier.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
I was just trying to be some tro mix and.

Speaker 6 (01:10:52):
Oh it's outside his door. I still don't know how
you don't open the door. I'm my survival instinct. Sorry
for good, but who's but no one's been killed by
a mimic.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
To me, that sounds a lot like what I've heard
of Dustin's voice so far. I don't know if it
sounded like his voice to him, and if I was
following this, I'm not including all of them. You can
head on over to Dustin's TikTok if you want to
see the full full story. He hears what sounds like something.

Speaker 6 (01:11:20):
One thing I've wondered is when people hear their own voices,
if you don't hear your voice the same in your
head as it actually sounds like. For me, I've heard
myself talking so much so it's just the same at
the At this point, I hear myself in my head
the same as I hear myself out loud. When I

(01:11:40):
heard my voice in two thousand and three, I didn't
have that quite as much. We didn't have as much
social media, we didn't hear each other as much, so
my voice still sounded a little bit different to me,
But when I heard it from the closet, it was
my voice on the roof.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
Even more.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
Your noises that he can't explain.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
But things really reach a boiling point when one day
it tries to get into his house.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Everybody visit me, o.

Speaker 6 (01:12:15):
The door, please help me. It's all they sounds a
week and tired, just knocking outside the door, sounding.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
And I'm going to let you hear this yourself before
I say anything else.

Speaker 21 (01:12:49):
Just sounds like whistling, really pretty whistling. He's terrified I
feel like, hello, for somewhere there.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
Something to do.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
Sound like the whistling sounds get quieter or even louder
or anything. They just say the same volume. And I
think this could mean a couple of things.

Speaker 4 (01:13:11):
One the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Most likely explanation. Number two, if we're saying on the
idea that this is totally paranormal. Whatever this is sticking right.

Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
Beside him and following him as he tries to get away.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
Or number three, it's coming over a loud speaker. But
I don't know why anybody would be playing that creepy
whistling noise over a loud speaker. This all culminates in
one final TikTok that I'm going to show you from Dustin,
in which he says that he got cameras. He finally
got cameras to set up around the property. A lot
of people at this point are like, you need to
set up cameras. You know, you don't know what or
who this could possibly be. For your own safety, you

(01:13:46):
have to get some kind of security.

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
So he listens to them. He puts up cameras, and
in this TikTok he shows what he caught.

Speaker 6 (01:13:57):
I can't see anything.

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
The camera has been torn down and damaged.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
I thought this was pretty creepy from beginning to end,
but I think, along with most of you, by the
point of the security camera, I knew.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
It probably wasn't real.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
It doesn't make it any less creepy though, like the.

Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
Voice not it doesn't make it less creepy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
So it's unsettling. It gives me chills to even think
about now.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
And the security camera footage is good, it just kind
of looks like an edited scary movie, you know what
I mean. Nonetheless, Dustin, if you're watching this, I really
love your account.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
I loved watching this haunting.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
If you guys want to see the full story account
the mimic with tons more videos.

Speaker 4 (01:14:40):
I didn't show super super.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
Creepy, But for now we're going to move away from
mimics into actually maybe another mimic.

Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
I'll let you guys aside for yourselves.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
There has just been so much horror that has come
out of the Appalachian Mountains recently, and one that I'm
sure all of you knew was coming in this video
is the story of the Catman.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
You all know about the Catman, right You'll watch She the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Disco Witch aka jazz Over on TikTok right, if you
don't let me catch you up to speed. There's a
creator by the name of She the disco Witch, who
has been chronicling her experiences with a crypted flesh pedestrian,
a mimic, some kind of entity at the foothills of
the Appalachian Mountains that she calls the Catman.

Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
If you want to hear more about the Catman, you
can watch you can watch the rest of her video,
because I cannot emotionally handle a catman on top of
the rest of this. So, sometimes the doppel gangers disappear instantly.
Other times they linger, other times they stay around for years.
Occasionally they speak rarely but terrifyingly. It seems to act

(01:15:43):
just enough like the original person to convince people it is,
But there's this sense that something is terribly off even this.
Smithsonian Magazine wrote about this in an article titled what
Happens when People see their Doppelganger. The doppelganger has persisted
not just a superstition, but as a psychological event, one

(01:16:04):
that blends identity, fear, and perception into something uniquely disturbing.
In Discover magazine, there's an article entitled Our doppelganger is real,
revealing the strange science of seeing double. Your identity is
ingrained in your face, infused in your features. Unless you're
a twin, your perception of yourself is probably so tied

(01:16:24):
to your appearance that it's tough to imagine a world
where your looks aren't altogether your own. But tough to
imagine isn't the same as impossible. Despite what you must
assume about yourself and your description, there's a small possibility
that there's someone out there who looks a lot like you,
someone we would deem your doppelganger or twin stranger. For

(01:16:45):
hundreds of years, people have wondered what it means to
have a doppelganger, a distinct duplicate of them. For most
of the time, the answer has been left to folklore
in literature, but some scientists are starting to wonder at
themselves and are arriving at their own scientifically supported answers.
With that in mind, What is a doppelganger and how
has the idea transformed over time? What does a meeting

(01:17:07):
with a double mean? And what are our odds of
finding our own? Though there's no scientific support for these traditions,
there is a budding body of research into the science
of seeing or being double, as well as the science
of similarity breaking doppelganger's sightings down This research reveals an
abundance of reasons why a person may think they've met

(01:17:28):
their lookalike, ranging from psychological to genetic psychological lookalikes. When
it comes to psychology, doppelgangers aren't always what they appear.
Delusional misidentification syndromes, including delusions of doubles and subjective doubles,
are closely associated with doppelgangers and can cause people to
think they've seen duplicates of themselves or others. These syndromes

(01:17:49):
are typically identified during the diagnosis of other disorders such
as schizophrenia, and are associated with hallucinations, the sensation of
seeing one's own body as if from a distance. Studies
suggest that these syndromes can carry different concepts of doppelgangers.
In some instances, the suspected double is thought to share
a person's appearance. In other instances, the suspected double is

(01:18:11):
thought to share their identity as well. In these cases,
the duplicate similarity is so severe that they are not
a look alike of a particular person. They are the
particular person. Are doppelgangers dangerous? Psychological doppelgangers, Those brought by
delusions of doubles are sometimes signs of serious psychological conditions,
and should therefore be taken seriously, whether they're associated with schizophrenia, dementia,

(01:18:36):
or some other disorders. These delusions may drive out of
the ordinary or dangerous behavior and thus demand a doctor's
advice and attention. But genetic doppelgangers aren't at all dangerous
or any more dangerous than the average person. The only
threat that they pose is to a person's sense of uniqueness,
and in this they're talking about doppelganger in the way

(01:18:58):
of more just some one that looks like you, then
some creepy copy clone of yourself that shows up in
the hallway and terrifies your roommates. There's a neurological phenomenon
called eddioscopy, which is technical term for seeing one's own
body at a distance. It's related to out of body experiences,
and it often occurs during extreme stress, migraines, epileptic seizures,

(01:19:22):
or trauma. According to a two thousand and six article
in Lancet Neurology, heatoscopic hallucination results from disrupted integration between
the visual, pro perceptive, and vestibular systems, creating a sort
of double self perception that appears externally translation your brain

(01:19:42):
has a hiccup and sends your body map out for
a walk. Another possibilities are sleep paralysis or hypnogenic hallucinations,
where your brain starts streaming while you're still partially awake.
But that doesn't explain Sam seeing me, does it. Here's
another angle one I hate but to consider. I'm currently
going through weed withdrawal, but he's he's not so I

(01:20:04):
feel grumpy and tired, but he's fine. But I did
get in my Instagram video a lot of people saying that,
like my pain, body could have been so severe that
it just split itself. I don't know. That's not a
withdrawal sympthyptom. That's definitely something else. And I wasn't the
one who saw it. I didn't hallucinate. I was on

(01:20:25):
the porch. Sam is mentally sound. I mean he's not
feeling it right now, but up until then. Some physicians,
when they're not too busy breaking my brain, have speculated
about time slips or dimensional echoes or timelines might overlap,
allowing brief moments of dajaboo or double vision. Doctor Mikhayo

(01:20:46):
Kaku once said the universe may be a multiverse, many
worlds existing simultaneously, while each decision spawns another world. So
what if the girl in the hallway wasn't a ghost,
wasn't a hallucination, wasn't a dream an or even a glitch?
What if she was me from somewhere else, another version,
living slightly out of sync, slipping through just so long

(01:21:08):
enough to be seen. That's my best case scenario. And
if that's the case, how many times have you seen
something out of place and shrugged it off? How many
times have you heard your own voice or someone else's?
Have you ever been the double? What does it mean?
I don't know. I wish I did. I've spent the
past few days trying to logic away, trying to find
this under weird but explainable. But there's something about seeing

(01:21:32):
yourself or someone else seeing you when you're not there
that doesn't let go. It clings, it echoes. There's a
quote by writer Brian Evanson who said, there's something monstrous
in seeing yourself, something unasked for, something impossible. And I
don't think that's just seeing ourselves in the mirror. Maybe

(01:21:53):
that's the real horror of doppelgangers and mimics. It doesn't
hurt you, it terrifies you. Just exists quietly with your
face or your smile and maybe just maybe with more
right to be here than you, or at least it's thinks. So,
so what do you do if you ever meet your double?
According to traditional folklore and every video we've just watched

(01:22:18):
run In Russian myths, seeing your double is a warning
to stop whatever you were about to do. In Egyptian lore,
your ca your spirit twin meant unfinished business. In Irish myth,
a fetch was a sign you wouldn't outlive the day.
But in modern times, maybe it's not a death omen
Maybe it's a call to attention. Maybe the double shows

(01:22:39):
up where something has to change. And that's where I
leave you, because I'm not sure if the girl in
the hallway was warning me, shadowing me, or stepping in
for me because I couldn't. I'm not sure if she
was me, or if she's what I leave behind when
I try and outrun myself. But if you ever hear
your name from an empty closet, if you ever walk

(01:23:00):
into a room and see yourself walking out if someone
just says, someone says you were just here and you
know you weren't, maybe you were and maybe you weren't. Alone.
If you've got a story like this, email me, because
I have a feeling I'm not the only one who's
split into before. Until then, thank you so much for

(01:23:24):
listening to another episode of Brod's next Door. We are
no closer, or at least I'm not any closer to
understanding what a mimic or a joppelganger is or how
any of this is possible, And has also been pointed
out to me that I am very fond. I'm very
good at astral projection and remote viewing, but I don't

(01:23:47):
feel like that's this astral projection takes place in the
astral realm and it feels really different. And remote viewing
you need to be like in a trance basically to do.
And I don't think you can make a physical copy
of yourself. It's more like spying, it's more like looking.

(01:24:08):
But these stories we heard today definitely freaked me out.
My poor roommate Sam is definitely freaked out. Our other roommates,
Scott just thinks we're insane, which may bee may be fair,
maybe fair. I still feel really, really horrible. So this
was a fun episode for me to make. Everything else

(01:24:32):
I'm doing right now is super research intensive and emotionally
draining because that's the stuff I like to pick. Curtain
Courtney series coming up, Eileen Warno's Our Big Hitter, Valley
of the Dolls, Death of Sharon Tate. Feel like there's

(01:24:52):
some other things recording again this week with Kristen from
Creative Sobriety. We're doing a spooky sleepover kind of episode,
so that should be a lot of fun. That one
will be a nice break. Aileen Warno's Curtain Courtney, Valley
of the Dolls. Those ones are take me a bit

(01:25:15):
more time. I can't just sit down and talk, so
there with me on those keep sending me your ideas.
I use so many of your ideas. You were the
ones who suggested to turn this little Instagram video into
a full podcast episode, so that was great. Thank you

(01:25:35):
to all the creators that videos that were used. Check
the show notes and I'll link to their accounts. Black Cauldron,
Loie Lane, BuzzFeed, Unsalt. Those were are big three today.
If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend.
Word of mouth is such a great way that we've

(01:25:58):
grown this community. You can find me online at Daniella
Scrima and broads next Door on everything. You can shop
our merch at Broad's next Door. If you'd like these
ap episodes add free, there should be a link to
for that. Still working on video episodes. I know that's

(01:26:18):
what everyone wants now, but it adds just such a
whole other element to do video. I have to get
a new camera because my webcam sucks, so I have
to get some kind of digital DSLR and then relearn
how to do all of that, which right now is
too much for me. But hopefully by summertime there'll be

(01:26:42):
a bigger a bigger plan on that. I hope your
week is going well. Feel free to reach out if
you need me. I make sure to respond to all
my messages. It takes me a little bit.

Speaker 12 (01:26:55):
Of time sometimes, but I check my.

Speaker 6 (01:26:56):
Message requests foulders if I don't get to comment on
any of my posts, and I have such great friends
that if I can't get to you, they'll make sure
you get the resources you need during that time. And
they're just such a great supportive community and so fun
to be part of. All right, thank you for listening.

Speaker 12 (01:27:20):
To me today.

Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
It really helped me out to just process things, even
though I still don't understand what's happening. I'll talk to
you very soon. I'll know you very much. Bye.
