Welcome to Paranormality Magazine. Each week, Paranormality Magazine explores all forty en subjects,
from phantoms to UFOs and every cryptidcreature in between. Each week you're
treated to a collection of well researchedand investigated stories, interviews and reports on

(00:31):
cutting edge paranormal projects and topics theyknow you crave. And here in the
podcast, I share stories from themagazine to give you just a taste of
what you receive in every issue.I'm Darren Marler, and this is Paranormality
Magazine. In two thousand and threeerupted with an astounding story. A man

(01:03):
named Andrew Carlson had been arrested onWall Street after quickly amassing over three hundred
and fifty million dollars through highly successfulstock trades. When questioned by authorities,
Carlson offered an astonishing explanation he wasa time traveler from the year twenty two
to fifty six. Immediately, theimaginative tale ignited public intrigue. But all

(01:26):
these years later, has any credibleevidence emerged to verify these extraordinary claims.
Initial sources spreading the dramatic tale remainedquestionable at best. Some traced back to
tabloid magazines known for running fanciful storieswithout fact checking. Despite rampant speculation online,
no verified news reports from the earlytwo thousands exist documenting Andrew Carlson's alleged

(01:51):
to rest or financial windfall. Conventionally, all documentation confirming his identity has purportedly
been confiscated by the SAC and FBI, preventing any future follow up or validation.
Since his first emergence, variations onCarlson's story continue to evolve. Believers

(02:12):
often cite supporting evidence the Harvard diplomadated twenty eighty eight or an aging photo,
without realizing all artifacts first appeared onwebsites years after his initial two thousand
and three debut. Their origins remainmurky, hinting at international Internet falsification.
Several self proclaimed insiders have emerged online, retelling the tale with added embellishments not

(02:38):
present in earlier iterations. Mainstream journalistsand fact checkers have widely debunked the Andrew
Carlson legend as nothing more than animaginative fiction. No credible documentation exists showing
either Carlson's sudden massive stock acquisition,his arrest, or any government seizure as
initially claimed, Enforcement has no recordof his fingerprints, financial entities possess no

(03:04):
trading data under his name and socialSecurity number. JOHNS. Hopkins confirmed no
enrollment past or present. Like chasingshadows, every lead that could verify his
identity dead ends. While the prospectof time travel undoubtedly tantalizes the imagination,
the universal physics community agrees such technologyremains impossible given current scientific knowledge. Any

(03:30):
fast movements at subatomic levels could disturbdelicate relativity and causality, and researchers believe
human physiology lacks the protective capacity toendure warping space time continua. Of course,
the absence of current confirmation hardly disprovesand otherwise entertaining fiction. After all,

(03:51):
verifying the identity of a man supposedlyfrom two hundred years in the future
poses understandable difficulty, but as journalists, scrutiny remains necessary when separating engrossing speculation
from reportable truth until substantive, credibleproof emerges. Andrew Carlson remains categorized as

(04:12):
nothing more than colorful Internet lower whileopen mindedness extends to even the furthest possibilities,
facts and evidence serve as the centralpillars for honest reporting. For now,
it appears Carlson's extraordinary tale leads nowherebeyond the fanciful dream of science fiction
and online legends. The search continuesfor any definitive truth in the way that

(04:43):
all things old become new again.Sometimes older urban legends and ghost stories return
and make the news cycles again.This is especially true with the internets and
forums such as Reddit and YouTube.It becomes very possible for a ghost toward
paranormal story that may have died yearsago to be kept alive and passed down

(05:05):
and gain a new audience fifty yearsafter a story's first popularity and exposure.
This is certainly the case with theBay Area's Haunted Toys are Us. What
are the most famous and popular ghoststories in the Bay Area. Possibly it
is the juxtaposition of a ghost anda toy store that continues to draw people

(05:28):
to the story of the Haunted Toysr Us years and years later. Or
maybe it's the nostalgia and reconnecting witha chain from many people's childhoods that it
was hard to see clothes. Whateverthe case, the story of the Haunted
Toys r US a story that startedin the early nineteen seventies, continues to
draw followers and investigators. A quickInternet search finds Instagram posts seeking the ghosts

(05:55):
of the Haunted Toys r Us andseeking YouTube videos of ghosts of the former
toy store. However, when youdo a little digging into the origins of
the story and separate truth from possiblefiction or imagination, parts of it become
just that a story. The HauntedToys RS story seems to be one of
those urban legends that currently exists inthe modern collective vernacular and consciousness. When

(06:21):
you talk to many people and askthem if they have heard of the Haunted
Toys RS, many people will saythat they have heard of it and that
they know that there is a HauntedToys RS somewhere. In terms of knowing
the generalities of the story without thedetails, the Haunted Toys r US story
resembles the hook urban legend and othervague stories that are passed down. However,

(06:45):
the Toys r Us that became famousfor being the Haunted Toys RS is
a very specifically located building that stilldraws the occasional paranormal investigator and psychic.
Located in the Bay Area, cityof sunny Vale, California. In the
latter half of the twentieth century,Sunnyvale saw the construction of its Toys r
Us toy store. Like many areasin the Bay Area, as urban sprawl

(07:11):
grew into suburbs, farmland was builtover and converted into modern amenities and homes.
We can begive the Haunted Toys Rsstory with the fact that the building
was actually built upon farmland that belongedto California pioneers Martin and Mary Murphy.
This really isn't too much of astretch, though, since the town that
is sunny Vale was built upon theMurphy's former ranch. So how did ghosts

(07:36):
of the ranch begin haunting a toystore specifically? While those ghosts can thank
nineteen eighties television and psychics for theirfame, Shortly after the sunny Veil Toys
r Us was built in nineteen seventy, store employees began reporting experiencing a variety
of paranormal experiences and problems. Afterclosing. The employees would say that they

(08:00):
would see toys being thrown off ofshelves. They also saw toys being played
with in the aisles and other itemsmoving around the story of the haunted store
began to spread and eventually got theattention of the television show That's Incredible.
In nineteen eighty one, That's Incredibleaired an episode with a segment investigating the

(08:22):
ghosts of Sunny Vale's Toys r Us. To complete a full paranormal investigation,
That's Incredible team enlisted the help ofpsychic Sylvia Brown. Brown's investigation and the
segment included some questionable reenactments along withSylvia hosting a seance. Unfortunately, it
is Brown's involvement and her findings thathave frustrated historians and modern investigators because they've

(08:48):
allowed her errors and misjudgments to overshadowthe experiences that the employees were having,
which led to the attention from theTV show to begin with. When Sylvia
Brown held her seance, she claimedto be in touch with a traveling Swedish
preacher who occasionally worked on the Murphyranch in exchange for his room and board.

(09:09):
This traveling preacher was named John orJohnny or jan Johnson. According to
Brown, John fell madly in lovewith the Murphy's daughter, Elizabeth. However,
Elizabeth was terrible to him and didnot love him back, and Eventually,
Elizabeth eloped with another man to theEast Coast. Heartbroken, John remained

(09:31):
on the Murphy farm and died whenhe was chopping wood and brutally hacked into
his own leg and bled to death. Sylvia was so convinced in the reality
of John that she spoke of andwrote about his story many times, including
in at least one of her books. Unfortunately, John Johnson and his Affair
with Elizabeth Murphy is all a workof fiction. Many researchers have looked into

(09:56):
census records, and while there weremen by that name the Bay area at
the time, none of them fitthat description, and none of them were
working as traveling preachers or farmers inwhat is now the Sunny Vale area.
Also, there are absolutely no recordsof any farm hand dying from axe wounds.
Second, Brown got the dates completelywrong. She claimed that Johnson was

(10:20):
working on the farm and fell inlove with Elizabeth during the eighteen eighties.
The Murphys did have a daughter namedElizabeth, but she died in eighteen seventy
five and had never run away tothe East Coast. In fact, Elizabeth
married a San Francisco dry goods merchantand their marriage was seen as the uniting

(10:41):
of two of the biggest and mostinfluential families in the area. The thing
is just because the names and datesand specifics from Brown's seance are wrong.
There definitely were some very traumatic deathson the Murphy Ranch that could have led
to hauntings in the area. Maryand Martin's eldest son died young on the

(11:01):
property of Consumption. Elizabeth and herhusband William died young also on the Murphy
Ranch, since they had been giftedmany acres as a wedding present. One
of the strangest deaths is that ofFred Hoffman, a relative by marriage.
Fred died on the property in eighteenninety four while working on a pump in
a well. What Fred didn't toknow is that the pump was right next

(11:26):
to a leaking gas tank, andFred was later found dead of gas asphyxiation.
The wildest part of Fred's story isthe person who was searching for him
was doing so by lit match andended up blowing up the well. However,
that individual survived clearly. Sunny Vale'sToys r US was a victim of
the closure of the toy chain.When the store closed in twenty eighteen,

(11:50):
many in the area wondered what wouldhappen to the ghosts in the building.
Luckily, they didn't have to worryfor long. Recently, our EI has
purchased the building and the formerly hauntedToys r Us is now in Ouri store.
Paranormal investigators continue to go to thelocation seeking the ghosts that made the

(12:11):
location famous. However, it wouldbe wise to look a little deeper than
the stories that were on TV.Clearly something was going on in the store
in the nineteen seventies. Maybe wecan set aside the stories told by a
psychic and a television show, andas this story is renewed and revived,
look at it from new angles andwith open minds. Want more paranormality,

(14:03):
us about the spirits that tricked herinto buying a haunted house. Here's her
story. In twenty twenty one,I decided I wanted to buy a boarding
house. I found a house thatI felt compelled to have. It had
seven bedrooms and was an acute goldrush town I'd been to a few times.
After two weeks, the selling agentcalled back and agreed to meet at

(14:24):
the house that day. The houseis on Main Street. As I'm on
the wrap around porch waiting for theagent, I see a horse drawn wagon
go past me with a dog inthe back, and I thought this must
be a sign that I need thishouse. I walk in and the house
buzzes with excitement. She tells methat the house used to be a brothel
and a boarding house, and nowI wanted even more. I see that

(14:48):
there is definitely work to be done, but I know this is the house.
The house waited on the market forme for eighteen months. This was
fate. The home inspector showed up, called me and said, you don't
want to buy this house. Itold him I did, but he really
didn't want to do an inspection.I told him that I was going to

(15:09):
buy the house no matter what.I just needed to know what costs I
was looking at in the future.I showed up a few hours later,
and the first thing he said tome was what if it is haunted,
to which I casually responded, Idon't care. I saw my first ghost
at seven, when my cousin andI were on the swings and saw a

(15:31):
shadow figure of a man and ahat walking from behind a pile of firewood
next door. As young adults,that same cousin and I lived together,
and we noticed lights would turn onby themselves, and other innocuous things happened.
So when I think a house ishaunted, this is what I think
of. I never expected to haveto change all of my plans because of

(15:52):
ghosts. The day of the finalwalkthrough came and my real estate agent,
Handyman, and I had to walkthrough every room. Upon entering the last
bedroom, I looked at them andsaid, I don't like this room.
There's a girl in the closet.They looked at me like they thought I
was deranged. After closing, Ispoke to a woman whose family owned the

(16:14):
home for over a half century andasked if there were deaths or ghosts,
and she said there had not been. I had never been on a paranormal
investigation, but a friend happened toknow some investigators they had offered to stop
by. I sat on the sofaand watched as a half dozen people walked
in. One of the investigators wentinto that bedroom, came out and said,

(16:37):
I don't like that room. There'sa girl in the closet. This
one sentence changed a lot for me. There was so much validation in that
one sentence. They brought out equipmentand we caught EVPs. People heard whispering
or breathing in their ears, peoplewere touched. There was just a ton
of activity and it was two pm. They had planned on doing an investigation

(17:02):
at a local haunted hotel. Inow know the whole area is haunted,
but they were so excited about theactivity that they canceled that and asked if
they could come back that night.That night, there were three separate paranormal
groups converging at the house. Again. We experienced touching EVPs, someone hurt,
a ball bouncing, and we leftknowing that this house was indeed haunted

(17:26):
and likely by more than one entity. Probably the worst of it was that
the spirit in the tiny bedroom cussedat us and told us to get out.
So not the best first night inthe house. I had my first
tenant to move in, who Iwarned the house was haunted. She said
that she would hear footsteps upstairs whenno one was home, doors would close

(17:47):
on their own, banging, andwould hear what sounds like a bouncing ball.
A baby sized footprint appeared on thestairs, then a few weeks later
a child sized hand print showed upon a stainless steel ridge. The video
would showed balls flying out the walland items moving when I wasn't there.

(18:07):
I struggled to find more tenants.The one I had moved out about three
months after moving in. I thinkthe only reason she made it that long
was that she worked nights. Iwas unable to find any more tenants,
So about that time I decided perhapsI should turn it into an airbnb.
It's a great area, and Ithought maybe people were willing to stay in

(18:29):
haunted places, maybe for a weekend, but not for a year. I
spent most weekends at the house workingon restoring furniture, painting walls, and
decorating. The apartment had such ahomey feel to it, but I did
not want to be upstairs at night. As the sun started to go down
and the energy shifted, I wouldget everything I needed for my projects and

(18:52):
would head downstairs. Even with themotion activated lights I put in the hallway,
I did not want to be upstairsat night because you felt watched.
One night, the construction workers hadto stay late to get my water turned
back on. They mentioned the shiftin energy and would tell me about their
experiences of doors closing, supplies moving, and how freaked out they were at

(19:14):
being there at night. I wasable to get the deeds and start learning
more about the house. I meta woman at the county office who is
also a paranormal docent at a localhaunted reformatory. School. She came over
one night and we kept hearing noisesin other parts of the house. We
went down to the basement and sheturned on the necrophonics, a spirit box
type app and she said, Hi, my name is Marcy. What's your

(19:38):
name? And we heard Steve.I went through the names of the owners
in my head, and the longestowner was named Stefano. She asked what
her name was, and we bothheard clearly, it is Marcy. I
was so glad I had put camerasin the basement after a recent flood to

(19:59):
catch this. I spoke to Steve'sdaughter again, who this time did admit
that people had seen her dad inthe basement after his death. Now that
I had another name, I wentdelving into the newspapers and finally found a
plethora of information bootlegging, gambling parlor, conspiracy to sell stolen gold to the
government. I already knew his brotherhad been chief of police when the state's

(20:23):
attorney general raided the town to shutdown the brothel and gambling houses in the
nineteen fifties, but to finally knowwho was in the basement and more about
him, actually made me feel morecomfortable. I learned about murders, drownings,
and that the first owner died inher early forties and also had a
son that didn't live to be three. The house saw the death of a

(20:45):
few of its mining residents. TheArgonaut and Kennedy mines were pulling out gold
until World War II, and sawplenty of deaths and tragedies. On the
third called Steve's daughter, she admittedthat her parents, sister, and one
brother in law were there, andthat there was a border she knew had
died in the house. I've sincelearned about some other boarders dying. One

(21:07):
drowned. That makes three drownings.She thought by suicide, but the neighbor
thought that it was suspicious. We'vegotten some names of the other spirits,
including the first owner's husband, aman named Sam, But the grumpy ghost
in the small bedroom is still harderto pin down. That room now inhabits
an uncomfortable Victorian couch and lots ofcreepy dolls to help encourage people to not

(21:30):
linger in her space. I havehad guests to leave within minutes, sometimes
even in the middle of the night. Reviews mentioned full body apparitions, footsteps,
banging, different smells, perfume,cigarette smoke, campfire body odor.
Most people close the door to theroom with the dolls if the guests are

(21:52):
noisy, messy, or they annoyme. The spirits mess with them more,
even hiding one man's keys when heshowed up a Christmas two hours early,
causing me to stop cooking for myfamily to change the locks. I've
made friends with these spirits, acknowledgethem by them presents, and they seem
to let me know. And there'sa problem. One of the spirits,

(22:14):
Sam actually follows me. Now.I've not seen any other wagons drive down
Main Street since that first day,except the annual wagon train that comes through
every April. I wonder if thatwagon was just another way that the spirits
tricked me into buying a haunted house. No one can deny the terror of

(22:42):
witnessing an unseen force move objects withease. Still, the true horror lies
in the possibility that it could harma living being, And in the case
of the Jubuchika bald poltergeist, thatfear became a grim reality. With a
head full of long brown hair andbright brown eyes, Maria Jose Ferrierra bounced

(23:06):
through the bustling streets of jabodah Cabal, a small town in Brazil. She
lived with her parents at a modesthouse just down the road from the local
Roman Catholic diocese. The village waspredominantly Catholic, and Maria's family followed the
traditions closely. They attended Mass everySunday at the beautiful church on the corner
of their street. Maria loved toadmire the colorful stained glass windows. The

(23:30):
town's name had roots in the Tupilanguage, a reminder of the indigenous people
who once inhabited the land before Portuguesesettlers colonized it. Although only eleven years
old, Maria had a strong senseof her cultural identity and was proud to
call Jabodicbal her home. However,on a December evening in nineteen sixty five,

(23:53):
Maria sat with her family in theircozy living room. Suddenly, a
loud crash joe them out of theirseats as a brick materialized out of thin
air and smashed through the open window. Maria's heart pounded with panic as she
watched the object fly across the roomas if someone had thrown it through the
air like a missile. Little didshe know this was just the beginning of

(24:17):
a series of terrifying events that wouldhaunt her for years to come. At
first, they laughed off the brickbeing thrown into their living room, after
all, they had a stack ofidentical looking bricks in their backyard. But
as the days passed and more brickscame flying down, some weighing up to
eight pounds, they realized it couldn'tbe a prank. The pile of bricks

(24:41):
outside remained untouched, adding to themystery and fear growing inside the family home.
As Maria spent evenings cowering in thecorner, bricks seemed to materialize out
of thin air and hurl themselves towardher violently. They shattered windows, destroyed
furniture, and left deep gouges inthe walls. But it wasn't just the

(25:04):
bricks that attacked her. She feltsharp nails scratching her skin open, palmed
slaps on her face, and painfulbites on her arms and legs from the
unseen attacker. Her body was coveredin bruises as she desperately tried to defend
herself from the relentless assault. Itwas clear that she was the sole target

(25:26):
of this inexplicable violence. In afrantic rush, the family called the local
police station. The officers searched highand low, knocking on doors and questioning
neighbors, but their efforts yielded noresults. Maria sat in her room,
shaking and trembling, unable to offerany answers about who or what was responsible

(25:48):
for the bricks being thrown at herwindow and the physical attacks that she endured.
The fear and confusion in her eyessaid more than any words could ever
convey. With shaking voices, thefamily traveled to the church and visited their
local priest, begging for help,as they believed an evil force was infesting

(26:10):
their home. The priest arrived dressedin his traditional robes and carrying across He
recited prayers and performed an ectricism,but it seemed only to anger whatever malevolent
spirit was present. The furniture beganto shake violently and objects flew across the
room. Clearly this wasn't a simplehaunting. Many believed it to be a

(26:33):
powerful poultergeist wreaking havoc on the family'shome. The phenomenon of poultergeists has long
been a source of fear and fascinationfor many originating from the German words poulter
meaning noise or racket, and geistmeaning spirit. These entities are believed to
be disembodied spirits or supernatural forces thatcause disturbing and often malicious occurrences. Poltergeists

(27:00):
have been blamed for various unsettling phenomena, from inexplicable noises to sudden, wild
movements and even breakage of household items. Some tales even claim that they are
responsible for violent attacks, such asthrowing stones or setting fire to clothing and
furniture. It is commonly believed thatpoltergeists focus their activities on one family member,

(27:23):
typically a young adolescent. Their goalto torment and harass, and in
rare cases, even cause physical harm. Interestingly enough, these unexplainable occurrences seem
to halt when outsiders are present.The town of Japoto Cabal was in a
state of panic as the entity focusedon Maria. She couldn't escape its constant

(27:47):
attacks, even in broad daylight.Passers by would scream and run in terror
as they saw her clothing burst intoflames. Her screams drowned out by the
crackling fire, but no one daredto help her. Fearing they too would
become victims of this terrifying entity.Following the failed extorcism, the Fierra family

(28:07):
turned to their neighbor Joa Volpe forhelp. A tall man with piercing eyes,
he was known in the community asa skilled dentist and a powerful spirit
medium. As he sat down withthe family, he could feel the heavy
presence of dark spirits lingering in theroom. He closed his eyes and let
out a low chant, his handsmoving in intricate patterns. After a few

(28:30):
minutes, he opened his eyes andspoke with conviction at her past life.
Maria was a witch, he said, and now she is paying the price
for her actions. The souls ofthose she harmed seek revenge. The tormented
spirits of those she had condemned totheir deaths in earlier lifetimes were there as

(28:52):
dark, forbidden magic swirling around her, their ghastly forms looming in the shadows.
They hungered for retribution, the anguishedwails and whispers filling her mind with
terror. Each one bore a twistedvisage, distorted by pain and hatred as
they clambered for revenge. One evening, the spiritualist watched stones materialize out of

(29:14):
thin air and flew around the house, ricocheting off walls and furniture. One
colossal stone crashed through the ceiling,splitting into two perfectly symmetrical pieces as it
fell. They miraculously fused back intoone solid stone when picked up and pressed
together. Jane couldn't help but noticethat the two halves seemed to be magnetized,

(29:37):
pulling towards each other with strong force. Vulpe led Maria down a dusty
path towards his small cottage on theoutskirts of town to stay with him so
he could study her further. Inside, he lit candles and spread out his
cards. As they sat across fromeach other at a wooden table, Volpe
could sense the presence of several spiritssurrounding the young girl. Through their conversation,

(30:00):
he realized that Maria had a naturalconnection to the spirit world and encouraged
her to embrace it. In fact, Maria learned to reach out to some
of the more friendly spirits. Shecarefully approached the flickering candles in the dimly
lit room. On one occasion,the girl whispered her request for a sweet
treat. She watched as colorful,glistening candles appeared at her feet. The

(30:25):
spirits were not all malevolent after all. Volpe's voice quivered as he recited an
incantation commanding the spirits to loosen theirgrip on Maria. For several days,
she slept peacefully and the house wascalm. The peace would not last long.
Maria could hear the familiar sound ofshattering glass and the crashing of kitchenware

(30:48):
from the other room. She huddledin fear as furniture flew through the air,
narrowly missing her. Just when shethought it couldn't get any worse,
a cup appeared out of nowhere andpressed against her, suffocating her. It
was just another terrifying night living withan abusive, unseen spirit. As she
slept, tiny pinpricks of pain joltedher awake. She reached for the light,

(31:11):
and that's what she saw them,sewing needles sticking out of her skin
like quills on a porcupine. Shehad no idea how they got there or
who put them there, but theyseemed to multiply every night. When she
was taken to the doctor, fiftyfive needles were carefully extracted from her body,
each one leaving a red mark behind. Despite bandages and gauze. The

(31:36):
wounds never seemed to heal fully,as if something was constantly tearing them open
again and again. Bandages placed tocover her wounds were always torn off.
For a year, Maria lived withvulpe and a spirit clinging to her,
despite her desperate attempts to rid herselfof it. With each passing day,

(31:56):
she grew more exhausted and hopeless.Finally, she traveled to Brazil's most renowned
medium, She go Xavier. Heplaced his hands on her head and closed
his eyes in concentration. Soft murmursand prayers filled the room as he passed
a magnetic hand over her body.After months of treatment, Xavier opened his
eyes and proclaimed that the spirits hadbeen successfully removed from Maria's presence. She

(32:22):
felt a weight lift off her shouldersand tears of relief streamed down her face.
After so long, Maria, nowthirteen years of age, was finally
allowed to return home. She walkedthrough the front door to her family,
breathing in the familiar scent of herown bed and feeling relieved, yet anxious

(32:42):
to resume her everyday life. Sadly, this was not the end of her
story. The poltergeist was unfinished withMaria. Three days later, her stiff
body was discovered in her bedroom,covered in vomit and surrounded by empty bottles
of pesticide. The autopsy revealed thatshe had ingested a deadly concoction, ending

(33:07):
her life in what was officially deemeda tragic suicide. The sudden, eerie
knocks on the walls and objects flyingacross the room stopped after Maria Jose Ferreira's
death. It was as if thepoltergeist that had tormented the poor child for
years had finally found peace along withMaria's soul. Thanks for listening to Paranormality
