Speaker 1 (00:03):
Haley moves into an apartment complex hidden in an old
part of town, and she eventually realizes that it should
have remained that way. My name is Edward, and here
is Haley's true scary story.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Way back in twenty ten, my sister was newly engaged.
I was living with her in a little house. This
is in central Oklahoma. Her fiance moved in. I knew
I didn't want to cramp their style. I didn't want
to be the third wheel in their house. I've hacked up,
moved out, and I took my cat with me. The
(00:52):
way we would look for places. Even though it wasn't
that long ago, there was still a newspaper article that
came out for apartments, and I just didn't want another roommate.
I just wanted to live on my own. I found one,
this apartment. It was all bills paid. I love that,
and very spacious. But the address was weird. It was
(01:17):
on the east side of the town, which is a
shady part of town, and I just didn't recognize that.
I was looking at where it was. It didn't make
any sense. I went and toward it. I gave the
apartment manager a call, and she was brand new to
the area and her and some other people had renovated
the apartment complex. She was excited. She was going to
(01:40):
show me around the way this town is like. Apartment
complexes were usually by a highway or by a main road.
It just didn't make any sense, but I followed the directions.
I went into this neighborhood. I remember seeing that. The
direction said there's a dead end sign, but keep going,
(02:05):
and so I did, and sure enough, I'm facing directly
at that dead end sign. Then it says take a right,
and I take it right. There is this apartment complex
in the dead center of all these older homes, so
they've been there a while. I want to say, at
least the sixties or seventies. I tore it. I absolutely
(02:29):
love the apartments in general. The one I tore is
the one that I'm going to take. It was just spacious.
It's exactly what I needed. I move in. Everything's fine,
But the only thing I couldn't place my finger on
was this feeling, this heavy feeling in there, especially in
(02:50):
the bedroom. It's the feeling that you're not alone, the
feeling you're being watched. About a couple months later, I
happened to meet my now husband and we start dating,
he starts coming over. That's got to be when things started.
(03:15):
I would wake up hear things moving, and it's just
little things. It's not huge sounds. That's the weirdest part.
Little thing and it doesn't make any sense though. And
then there's that overwhelming feeling that I'm being watched too.
So i'd wake up just clicks, things moving. On top
(03:38):
of that, I would look and my cat, the most fat,
chilled cat on earth. He would be at the edge
of my bed in the middle of the night. It
was always one am until five am. He would be
on the edge of my bed. Instead of cuddling with me,
instead of relaxing, he'd be on the edge of my
bed with his ears propped up right, listening to everything
(04:01):
I would hear, and his head would jerk too. I
remember it was around my birthday one night, and I
was always too scared to get up. My husband could
hear everything I would hear. He just wasn't affected. He's
just one of those guys that'll just roll over. But
(04:21):
I was terrified and I want to get up. I
had tissue paper and I would put that on the
floor from my cat to play with. I would hear
it at night, moving around the floor like my cat
was playing with it. But whereas he at He's still
on the edge of my bed looking down at what
I'm hearing, but I don't want to look over the
(04:41):
edge of the bed on the floor. I remember my
husband looking at him and thinking, that's really weird that
he's so alert and hearing what I'm hearing. Noises continue.
It was always in the dead and night. One night,
(05:04):
the pully thing for blinds that in my bedroom. I
remember I never saw it, but I know the sound.
I heard it being smacked against, like it was pulled
and then thrown against my blinds in my bedroom to
the left of my bed. The noises continued, but in
(05:27):
my head, I'm like, Oh, it's just me, this is
just me, This is just weird. It's all in my head.
I remember being so scared every night that something would happen.
Usually if I have a bad dream or something, I'll
wake up if I have a nightmare and like, just
watch Family Guy or something funny, and then I'll calm
down and then I'll go back to sleep. At this apartment,
(05:50):
I would wake up and watch show after show, movie
after movie, and I would still be terrified and I
wasn't getting any I would finally be able to pass
out around like five five in the morning, when life
starts coming out my cat. I would come home in
(06:12):
the middle of the day and be calling for him,
and he's like a dog. He's like there to greet
you when he comes through the door. But when I
would come home from work or something, he would be
hiding under my bed and he never did stuff like that.
He would run out and be glad that I'm home,
but I'm like, how is he under there? That doesn't
(06:34):
make any sense. So I always had the feeling that
something really bothered him. One night, when things really started
to get worse, because I lived in my own denial
with the noises, I woke up. I thought I heard
something in the house. My husband was staying over, but
(06:56):
I didn't want to wake him up. I got up.
I went to turn on my light and I was
touching the light right and it would not click on.
I'm looking around and I realized, oh am I still dreaming,
but it was so real. I couldn't turn on my light.
I know something's there. I know something's in my house.
(07:18):
I have a philo I'm being watched, and I hear
something in the hallway. My doorway to the hallway, there's
a mist, a dark miss punched over and I just
know it's there, and I know it's staring at me,
even though it's just this black mist. I think that
(07:40):
I'm dreaming, and so I want to wake up. I'm horrified.
I want to wake up since I was little, if
I'm having a nightmare, I confront the monster and I
wake up. I turned to it and I said, what
do you want? And I took a step forward to
walk toward it and confront it, and it rushes at
(08:05):
me and I get knocked over. I feel like I'm
knocked back into my body and I sit up straight.
I can barely breathe. I have a hard time like
making my heart just calm and to go back to normal.
(08:25):
And my husband wakes up and he remembers me just
being absolutely horrified. When I talk to people about that experience,
I've never heard of this in my life. But when
I talk to people about that experience, and everything was
normal in my room, except it was really dark and
I couldn't turn the light on, and they believe it
(08:46):
was astral projection. And I've never done that in my life.
It felt so real and it scared me. And of
course I didn't sleep that night, And so that's going
to be a common theme, is me losing sleep, me
losing what you need every single night to focus and
be functioning. My dreams got worse and worse. Usually I'm
(09:11):
a very vivid dreamer, and usually they're just chaotic. It's
not really anything there, but the dreams I would have,
it's very hard to explain, and it's almost embarrassing, how
bloody and like just body parts, heads, everything laying around.
(09:36):
It would only be I'd be in the apartment looking
around and there was just gore, just absolute terror in
the house, strown about, and it didn't make any sense
to me when I would just wake up horrified. But
it would always be in the apartment. Another night, I
(09:56):
was having this dream that I'm in my apartment and
it's all dark. This time, I'm walking around in my
living room because I think I hear something. I'm walking
towards my kitchen and I see something in the corner
and my eye run across the room a shadow and
(10:17):
duck in a corner, like in a dark corner behind
my couch. I'm so tired and fat up that I
say hello, I saw you, and I'm just mad this
thing crouching there, and once again it runs at me,
and it just feels absolute hate. I wake up again,
(10:45):
barely able to breathe, the same feeling. But one night
I woke up and I felt like I was being
watched like usual, but I can't really move. It was
more of a sleep paral sace. I just can't move.
My eyes are open, but I'm not moving. I see
like a white light above me, or kind of light
(11:10):
shining down. Then it didn't make any sense, and it's
really a small part of the story that I've never
forgotten it. Then I just close my eyes and I'm
able to wake up, and it's gone. I can't tell
you how much denial plays the part. Like whenever people
are like, why don't you just move out, I'm telling
(11:32):
you your own mind is your own worst enemy, because
you think it's you, like you're going crazy. Things are
going to be fine. It's always the next night will
be better. You're just hoping for that to happen. I
(11:57):
have my Halloween decorations out at this time. I remember
that very clearly because I love Halloween. After these experiences,
it started to not be so fun anymore. I didn't
like seeing certain things because it reminded me of this apartment.
But in my head, I'm like, it's gonna be fine.
(12:19):
Let's go have a date night. And we did. We
came back to my place. We made a palette on
the floor, and I remember we were gonna watch Beetlejuice
and just have this great time. We start watching the
movie and I remember feeling so sick, sick to the core,
(12:39):
body ache, fever, my nose started bleeding, and all I
can remember is I'm going to have to call into work,
Like you're going to have that immediate thought that I
need to call in. Oh no, what am I going
to do? I'm just absolutely miserable all night. I passed
out at some point. I wake up as soon as
(13:03):
the sun is up. I'm fine, I'm not sick. And
when I get a fever and I'm done. And so
it was really crazy. I decide to break my lease
and move out. I save my cat and he comes
with me to my husband's house because he has one,
(13:26):
and I get permission to move in with him and
everything from my parents. I let the apartment manager. Now,
I said, I just want to let you know it's
a great apartment. But I'm going to sound crazy, but
this has been happening, this kind of stuff. It's so
hard to explain to her. And she seemed pretty open.
(13:47):
She was like, oh my gosh, I had no idea,
like she just said she'd ask around. So I'm moving out.
A guy friend comes over because he's going to take
my couch. This is in the middle of a day,
just talking about different things with him. We go into
my bedroom, which is basically empty except a couple of
things I'm giving away, and we're talking and then two
(14:12):
lights go out as we're talking. It's from the ceiling
fan and he and I don't even talk, like, we
don't say anything. They go out. He walks over checks
the light bulbs. Two light bulbs had been twisted out
at the same time. They don't fall to the floor,
(14:32):
they just go out. So he goes over and twists
them back in and they turn on and he goes
He's very Kindtry my buddy, he goes, Just so you
know that happens again. I'm round it. I start living
with my husband and he is he's in a great house.
(14:54):
That was our first house together, and that's where we
had our baby and everything and great memories. But when
I'm I moved there, I was still having sleep paralysis.
But it was horrifying. I didn't see anything. I would
just be stuck and I would hear voices that were
hard to make out, but I had to take sleeping pills.
(15:14):
I even though I was in a new house, I
always felt scared. I still had that feeling of just
not ever being able to calm down. And like I said,
I love Halloween. I couldn't even watch scary movies anymore,
especially not alone. I was always anxious to the core.
I have a friend that blesses homes and stuff, and
(15:36):
I always thought it was interesting, but I didn't really
know much about it. But he's with a group that
blesses homes and I never thought to call him. I
just wanted to get out of whatever was in that apartment.
I remember telling him that I am still not okay.
I'm still scared all the time. When he came over,
(15:57):
they left him and my husband left to go somewhere.
I don't remember, but I was at the house and
he did text me. The guy that Blesses Homes and
he said, there is there's a young man or young boy.
I don't remember that a young man has followed you
there and he seems lost. That don't worry. I took
(16:22):
care of it or I sent him on his way.
So maybe my friend was like dealing with that without
trying to freak me out. I don't know, because of
what I experienced at the apartment, if it was like
I became more vulnerable to other things, other spirits, other whatever,
seeing me more as a beacon, I'm not really sure.
(16:47):
I had been out of the apartment for a while
and I get a call from the old apartment manager
and she was just trying to settle something else with
my lease. But she said, oh, I asked around to
people that have lived in those apartments since they were built,
and she said, I found out about where you were living,
and she had talked to the man across the hall
(17:09):
from me. I never got to really meet any of
my neighbors or anything like that, but she talked to
this older man and she said a woman had lived
there with her husband. This woman got cancer stage four,
her husband packed up and left her. They would hear
her and I remember the walls were buried thin because
(17:30):
I could hear upstairs late neighbors everything, but her husband
left her when she had stage four cancer, and they
could hear her crying at night. All the neighbors could
hear her crying at night. She passes away, she dies
in the bedroom, the apartment gets cleared out, and after that,
(17:52):
all the neighbors would talk about it. All the neighbors
could still hear her crying at night. I immediately got
goosebumps all down my arms because it started this whole time.
I'm the one that's crazy, I'm the one there's something
wrong with me here, But it all made sense. I
(18:14):
felt like I was being watched. That was the heavy feeling.
The apartment complex manager put it together too. She said,
I have a single woman living in there right now.
As long as she stays single, maybe nothing will happen
to her. Because we put it together that I brought
over my boyfriend, my now husband, and things started to
(18:40):
really take a turn. I'm very lucky that I like
found some sort of answered or maybe what was happening
to me, because I was in complete denial that it
was all me. Me and my husband get married. I
find out I'm pregnant immediately, I don't have sleep paralysis anymore,
and I'm able to sleep, I'm able to rest, I'm
(19:03):
able to have peace at night. Whenever I've talked about
it with other people, I have really thought about it.
What I believe in my heart is that my baby
like absolutely blessed me. And some people have told me like,
of course, babies are so protected. I felt such a
sense of peace. Pregnancy makes you so uncomfortable in so
(19:24):
many ways, but hey, I was able to sleep and
I got the rest that I definitely needed.

I said, I just want to let you know it's
a great apartment. But I'm going to sound crazy, but
this has been happening, this kind of stuff. It's so
hard to explain to her. And she seemed pretty open.
(13:47):
She was like, oh my gosh, I had no idea,
like she just said she'd ask around. So I'm moving out.
A guy friend comes over because he's going to take
my couch. This is in the middle of a day,
just talking about different things with him. We go into
my bedroom, which is basically empty except a couple of
things I'm giving away, and we're talking and then two
(14:12):
lights go out as we're talking. It's from the ceiling
fan and he and I don't even talk, like, we
don't say anything. They go out. He walks over checks
the light bulbs. Two light bulbs had been twisted out
at the same time. They don't fall to the floor,
(14:32):
they just go out. So he goes over and twists
them back in and they turn on and he goes
He's very Kindtry my buddy, he goes, Just so you
know that happens again. I'm round it. I start living
with my husband and he is he's in a great house.
(14:54):
That was our first house together, and that's where we
had our baby and everything and great memories. But when
I'm I moved there, I was still having sleep paralysis.
But it was horrifying. I didn't see anything. I would
just be stuck and I would hear voices that were
hard to make out, but I had to take sleeping pills.
(15:14):
I even though I was in a new house, I
always felt scared. I still had that feeling of just
not ever being able to calm down. And like I said,
I love Halloween. I couldn't even watch scary movies anymore,
especially not alone. I was always anxious to the core.
I have a friend that blesses homes and stuff, and
(15:36):
I always thought it was interesting, but I didn't really
know much about it. But he's with a group that
blesses homes and I never thought to call him. I
just wanted to get out of whatever was in that apartment.
I remember telling him that I am still not okay.
I'm still scared all the time. When he came over,
(15:57):
they left him and my husband left to go somewhere.
I don't remember, but I was at the house and
he did text me. The guy that Blesses Homes and
he said, there is there's a young man or young boy.
I don't remember that a young man has followed you
there and he seems lost. That don't worry. I took
(16:22):
care of it or I sent him on his way.
So maybe my friend was like dealing with that without
trying to freak me out. I don't know, because of
what I experienced at the apartment, if it was like
I became more vulnerable to other things, other spirits, other whatever,
seeing me more as a beacon, I'm not really sure.
(16:47):
I had been out of the apartment for a while
and I get a call from the old apartment manager
and she was just trying to settle something else with
my lease. But she said, oh, I asked around to
people that have lived in those apartments since they were built,
and she said, I found out about where you were living,
and she had talked to the man across the hall
(17:09):
from me. I never got to really meet any of
my neighbors or anything like that, but she talked to
this older man and she said a woman had lived
there with her husband. This woman got cancer stage four,
her husband packed up and left her. They would hear
her and I remember the walls were buried thin because
(17:30):
I could hear upstairs late neighbors everything, but her husband
left her when she had stage four cancer, and they
could hear her crying at night. All the neighbors could
hear her crying at night. She passes away, she dies
in the bedroom, the apartment gets cleared out, and after that,
(17:52):
all the neighbors would talk about it. All the neighbors
could still hear her crying at night. I immediately got
goosebumps all down my arms because it started this whole time.
I'm the one that's crazy, I'm the one there's something
wrong with me here, But it all made sense. I
(18:14):
felt like I was being watched. That was the heavy feeling.
The apartment complex manager put it together too. She said,
I have a single woman living in there right now.
As long as she stays single, maybe nothing will happen
to her. Because we put it together that I brought
over my boyfriend, my now husband, and things started to
(18:40):
really take a turn. I'm very lucky that I like
found some sort of answered or maybe what was happening
to me, because I was in complete denial that it
was all me. Me and my husband get married. I
find out I'm pregnant immediately, I don't have sleep paralysis anymore,
and I'm able to sleep, I'm able to rest, I'm
(19:03):
able to have peace at night. Whenever I've talked about
it with other people, I have really thought about it.
What I believe in my heart is that my baby
like absolutely blessed me. And some people have told me like,
of course, babies are so protected. I felt such a
sense of peace. Pregnancy makes you so uncomfortable in so
(19:24):
many ways, but hey, I was able to sleep and
I got the rest that I definitely needed.
