Speaker 1 (00:05):
Well, man, we'll let you pick it back.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Up all right. Things had escalvated pretty quickly from there.
The pounding and threats had continued every night. She had
been too scared to sleep in her bedroom and had
started sleeping in the living room couch. Then one night
the pounding had begun not just on her bedroom closet,
but all the closet doors in the house, all at
(00:29):
the same time, like there were people and all of
them trying to get all at once. She told us
it was the same voice in every closet, that same
horrible voice. In fear, she nailed all the closet doors
shut to keep the thing, whatever it was, from going
out to get her. Then, about two weeks ago, something
(00:50):
even more terrifying had happened. She had been in her
bathroom and was washing her hands in a sink when
she looked up into the medicine cabinet mirror. She popped.
What'd you see your asked her. I saw it, she said,
in a choked whimper. I saw his face instead of
my own. He was wearing a black robe with a
(01:10):
hood and its face. His face was just a grinning skull,
a skull with horns. His eyes were red the eyes
of the devil himself. I don't mean I saw it
standing behind me in the mirror. It was in the
mirror itself. I felt to shiver crawl up my spine.
It reached out of the mirror. It didn't have hands,
(01:31):
it was like claws, and it tried to grab me
in horror. She had thrown a bottle of lotion at
the mirror, shattering glass. Then, to be safe, had done
the same to all the other mirrors in the house.
How could you stay in his house with all that
has happened to you, asked her. She shrugged sadly. I
don't have anywhere else to go, and no one will
(01:53):
take me in. The nights were awful. It was always
better during the days. At least then I could get
some sleep. It always stopped by morning and never happened
during the day, She suddenly shuddered. Until three days ago.
Then it started happening all the time, day and night.
I was safe no matter what time it was. It
(02:15):
all come to a head late this morning. Pounding had gradually
gotten more violent and forceful, until all the closet doors
were rattling in their frames. SCAREDY knew that you went
boards nailed over them. It's only a matter of time
till that thing broke through. In desperation, she was gained
praying and reading from the Bible, which had only caused
(02:36):
the entity in the closet to laugh at her mockingly. Finally,
she had gotten out Bill's shotgun and fired it through
the closet door. For a minute or so, there wasn't
a sound. She told us, I sort of think it
was finally over. Then I saw those red eyes burning
in the dark and the hole the shotgun had made.
(02:58):
It chuckled and it said one word to me. Well,
what to say? I asked her? Tonight, she said, began
to tremble. She lowered her head into her hands and
began to sob again. Jerry and I were silent for
some time, trying to absorb what she had just told us.
We looked at each other, deeply troubled by her story.
Neither of us actually believed it, of course, but it
(03:20):
was obvious the poor woman was deeply disturbed. If she
was having some kind of nervous breakdown, maybe her afraid
grip on reality had finally snapped. Maybe it was old
age was taking a toll on her. Mind. One thing
was clear. It wasn't safe for her to be alone anymore,
especially not here. It was not healthy for her. Hell,
(03:41):
for all we knew, maybe her paranoid delusions were her
result of some dangerous form a mold that had formed
in the house. Jerry and I excused ourselves for a moment,
then stepped outside and talking brightly, we both agreed she
needed help, she needed to be institutionalized, but for now
it was she stays somewhere else. Went back in and
(04:03):
told missus Garrett she was coming with us. She was
going to spend the night in a hotel room in
town and tomorrow, Jerry added, we were going to find it.
He so it come exercises free evil spirit. They've been
bothering her, Getting rid of it once and for all.
She broke down again, this time crying and relief, and
hugged me and my partner, thankingness over and over again.
(04:24):
Well she's finally getting the help that she needs. Sounds like, Yeah,
it sounds like they're they're really trying to get her,
like can some sort of institution. They're going to try
to hold her someplace overnight. That's what it seems like
to me. That they're not really believing this story, but
her story is terrifying, and if it's you are remotely true,
(04:47):
this is a night Mercenari.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, it sounds like this is actually later in the day.
All this is transpiring, All this is happening, and like
you said, get her to a hotel and excuse me,
get her to a motel until the next day when
they can get her help wherever that may be. I
think it's a previous section that you read when he
said what the fuck happened here? You really start to
(05:10):
like put all the puzzle pieces together as far as
how crazy of a state this house is in.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, the disarray and like all these boards up dw worse,
Like that's something that would be crazy to walk into.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
She looks in the mirror. She sees a I don't
know how to describing a monster.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, it looks like a skeletal monster of some sort
and reaching out to or from the mirror, not so
much its behind her. She describes it as being within
the mirror.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We've all seen that in a movie or had that fear,
like we're gonna look in the mirror and like something
else is like not even behind you, but it's like
they're in the mirror, you know. Yeah, and so she
breaks the mirror that she goes around and she destroys
all the other mirrors in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, she breaks them all that day. And so like
there's all these broken mirrors, there's glass something around, and so,
like I said, he has definitely started to see like, ah,
this is we got ourselves a problem here. It's very
much she is in you know, she could be endangering herself.
She needs to be taken care of. And it's a
(06:16):
really scary moment if there was nothing supernatural going on.
Because this old woman who you've been like kind of
taking care of sort of by going and visiting her
during her calls and you know, just like calming down
every time, and then you see her in this state.
It's a scary moment for you, right because you got
to be like thinking, how are we going to take
(06:38):
care of her? Now? You know, we got to something's
gonna happen. Just that alone, you can you can imagine
there their way they felt in this moment. But the
way she's feeling with all that she's claiming to see,
that's that's the craziest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, So what began is calling at the closet door.
Is now pass in every closet door throughout the house.
She's actually concerned that the pounding is so hard it's
gonna break through the boards. She began praying and reading
the Bible. I guess this made this entity is We're
gonna call it laugh. It was mocking her. Finally she
(07:17):
got the shotgun and fired it through the closet door.
This entity was mocking her.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yes, so after it started making forever, she shot at
it and then saw those eyes within the darkness.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So like she walked up to the door, she was
seeing these eyes in there through the holes.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I'm going sure how close she got, but she definitely
kind of appeerid.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So through the shotgun holes she could see these red eyes. Yeah, yes,
that's absolutely terrifying. Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And then it said tonight.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
It said tonight. So they relieve her of this tress
and said we're gonna get you help. They have a
sidebark conversation. Hey, she she's no longer able to say
care of herself. This is that she's a huge risk
to herself. This situation is a bad situation. They're going
to remove her from the situation and like we when
we just started this discussion right here, They're going to
(08:13):
get her help. Man, you still feel so sorry for
being all alone, you know?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Oh yeah, definitely. Jeff Townsend media sees you good night.
And the question is do I stay here? Will you
be back? Are you gonna come back?
Speaker 1 (08:32):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
