Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to a truly haunted podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Southy Nows is here with us.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
The podcast that brings you weekly true ghostly stories. In
this podcast, you'll delve into the depths of some of
the darkest paranormal experiences that cannot be defined by anything
(00:31):
less than truly haunting. Haunting. Now, sit back, relax, and
let's begin our journey into the mysterious and unknown.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Welcome to a truly haunted podcast. I'm your host, Eve
s Evans. Today we have another haunting story for you.
So sit back and relax, because ghost stories are next.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Reflections. The musty smell of old books and moth eaten
cloth fills my nostrils as I step into the dusty attic.
The floorboards creak beneath me, echoing through the dimly lit space.
Squinting against the shafts of sunlight that peers through the
(01:35):
cracks in the wooden walls, I wander around the cluttered room,
my hands brushing against the forgotten relics of my family's past.
Who knew you had so much stuff up here, I
muttered to myself, kicking an old box filled with yellow
newspapers and crumbling photographs. As I continue to rummage through
(01:57):
the attic, my fingers graze and unexpect cold surface. Hidden
behind a pile of weathered suitcases. Pushing them aside, I
find an antique mirror framed by intricately carved swirling vines.
It's covered in a thick layer of dust that obscures
the glass. Something about it draws me in Wow, what
(02:21):
a fact, I whisper, my curiosity peaked. I wipe the
grime away with my sleeve, revealing my reflection. But it
feels different, more than just a reflection. It's as if
the mirror is alive, holding secrets of the past. A
shiver runs down my spine, but I can't pull my
(02:43):
gaze away. The air in the attic seems to thicken,
pressing down on me like a heavy fog. My heart
rases and a cold sweat breaks out across my brow.
Is it getting colder in here? Or is it just mean?
I asked the empty room, though no answer comes. That evening,
after dinner, I find myself drawn back to the attic,
(03:06):
unable to shake the memory of the mirror. As I
ascend the creaky stairs, the air grows heavier, stifling me
with its weight. All right, Let's see what's so special
about you? I say, gazing into the mirror once more.
The surface ripples like a stone dropped into a pond,
(03:28):
and I gasp. As the reflection changes. A girl appears
before me, her sorrowful eyes seeming to piers through time itself.
She looks familiar yet distant, her ghostly pallor haunting me
with an inexplicable sadness. My breath catches in my throat
and I shiver uncontrollably.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Who are you?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I stammer, my voice barely whisper. Why do I feel
so connected to you? Her lips part as if to speak,
but no sound escapes. The sadness in her eyes deepens,
and I can't help but share her pain. The sadness
in her eyes deepens. I can't help but share her pain.
(04:16):
It's as though our emotions are entwined, tethering us together
across the centuries. Please, I beg, my voice trembling with desperation,
Tell me your story. But the girl remains silent, her
gaze unwavering, leaving me with nothing but questions and a
heavy heart. Each night, like a moth drawn to the flame,
(04:40):
I find myself returning to the attic, unable to ignore
the pool of the mysterious mirror. The air around me
is heavy with secrets, and the scent of old memories
lingers in my nostrils. Eliza, I whisper, as if summoning
her from the depths of time itself play show yourself.
(05:03):
Her ethereal reflection flickers into view, her expression and mixture
of longing and despair. I learned to focus my attention
on the mirror, allowing it to reveal glimpses of her life,
moments of joy contrasted by the shadows that follow.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Who were you?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I ask, my voice trembling with apprehension, Why are you
trapped here? She doesn't answer, but the mirror shifts, showing
images of children's laughter, the warmth of a family gathering,
and then darkness descending upon her world. My heart aches
for Eliza. This girl locks away in her own reflection,
(05:42):
a prisoner of her past. Eliza, I say again. My
voice is stronger now I want to help you. The
name comes to me in a whisper, carried on a
chill breeze that sends shivers down my spine. Eliza, I
see her in various moments, both joyful and sorrowful, her
(06:03):
emotions as real as my own. It's as if her
pain resonates within me, tethering our fates together. Tell me
what happened, I urge, determined to understand her story. Help me,
help you betrayal, She whispers, her voice barely audible. The
word hangs in the air between us, heavy with the
(06:26):
weight of an unseen burden. Who betrayed you? I ask,
my mind racing with possibilities, but Eliza remains silent, her
eyes filled with sadness and regret. As the days pass,
I become consumed by the mystery of Eliza's past. I
can't help but feel a deep empathy for her, and
(06:46):
I become determined to uncover the source of her pain. Eliza,
we're in this together, I tell her, staring into her
sorrowful eyes. We'll find out what happened, and I promise
I'll do everything I can to help you. Expression softens,
as if my words have given her a glimmer of hope,
and with that, our bond grows stronger, fueled by our
(07:08):
shared determination to unravel the secrets that keep her imprisoned
within the mirror's reflection, I stand in the attic surrounded
by dusty boxes and forgotten memories. The air is thick
with the scent of age and abandonment. Cobwebs drape across
the ceiling like old lace, a decaying testament to the
(07:28):
passage of time. I take a deep breath, tasting the
mustiness that lingers on my tongue. Search for clues, I
tell myself, find her story. I spend hours rummaging through
my family's past, faded photographs, brittle letters, and journals filled
with whispered secrets. Each piece of history feels like a thread,
(07:51):
pulling me closer to Eliza. The world outside fades away
as I immerse myself in this search, determined to understand
her life and unravel the mysteries that bind her to
the mirror. Eliza, I whisper, my voice, echoing in the
stillness of the attic. Who where you? As I sift
through the remnants of a time long gone, I find
(08:14):
a fragile, yellow photograph taken over a century ago. There,
among the faces of my ancestors, I see her, Eliza.
She stands amidst a crowd, her eyes filled with unspoken sorrow,
a bright spirit dimmed by tragedy, her pain was so great,
I murmur, tracing her face with my fingertips. What happened?
(08:39):
Why are you trapped here? Shiver runs down my spine
as I feel a sudden chill in the air. It's
as if Eliza herself has joined me in the attic,
guiding my search for answers. Tell me, I played softly,
help me help you. That night, as I returned to
the mirror, Eliza's eyes widen, desperation etched a fross her
(09:00):
pale features. I can almost hear her silent plea for
help echoing in my mind. Her longing tugs at my heart,
urging me to find a way to free her from
the confines of her reflection. Eliza, I'm here, I say,
my voice trembling with determination. I'll find a way to
reach you. Please. She mouths, her words, lost in the
(09:24):
void between us, The thought lingers, igniting a spark of
hope within me, a fierce ember that refuses to be extinguished.
My resolve strengthens as I stand in front of the mirror,
gazing into Eliza's soulful lies. Whatever it takes, I promise,
my voice, steady and strong, I will set you free.
(09:47):
As our connection deepens, the boundaries between past and present blur,
binding us together in our quest for freedom. The attic,
once a place of darkness and solitude, becomes a sanctuary
where it lies as spirits can find solace, and where
I can finally uncover the truth that has haunted her
for so long. The library, dimly lit and filled with
(10:10):
the musky scent of aging pages, becomes my sanctuary as
I delve into the realm of the supernatural. Dusty tomes
and ancient scrolls line the shelves, their whispered secrets, beckoning
me to explore their mysteries. The air is heavy with anticipation,
each breath tasting of the arcane knowledge that surrounds me.
(10:32):
Excuse me, I asked the librarian, woman with piercing gray
eyes and an air of authority. Do you have any
books on connecting with spirits or the supernatural? Her gaze
narrows as she takes in my earnest expression, her lips
pursed in contemplation. Follow me, she replies, leading me to
(10:53):
a secluded corner of the library. As we walk, my
mind races with the possibilities that lie ahead. Can I
truly help Eliza? Or will I only disturb the delicate
balance of the past and present. Doubt nips at the
edges of my excitement, and yet the spark of hope
within me refuses to be extinguished. Here, says the librarian,
(11:17):
pulling out a worn leather bound book with yellowed pages.
This should be what you're looking for. Thank you, I murmur,
cradling the precious volume in my hands. It feels like
a key to unlocking the prison that holds Eliza captive.
Upon returning home, I gather candles, sage, and other items
(11:38):
necessary for the ritual. Their scents mingle in the air,
a symphony of earthy notes that soothe my nerves. As
I prepare to ridge the gap between our worlds, my
fingers tremble with the mix of excitement and fear. As
I light the candles, their flickering flames casting dancing shadows
across the walls of the attic. Eliza, I whisper, daring
(12:00):
into the mirror's depths. I'm ready. As if summoned by
my words, Eliza appears, her sorrowful eyes locked on mine.
The air grows heavy, and I can feel her energy
intertwining with mine. It's as if we're connected by an
invisible thread, pulling me deeper into her sorrow. Are you
(12:20):
sure this will work, Eliza asks, her voice barely audible.
I don't know, I admit my heart pounding in my chest,
but I have to try. Thank you, she says, her
eyes glistening with unshed tears. Together we embark on a
journey into the unknown, her spirits united by a sheared
(12:42):
determination to break the chains that bind us to the past.
And as we stand at the precipice of possibility, hope
flares within our hearts, a beacon of light guiding us
through the darkness. The connection between Eliza and May Surgey's
a torrent of emotions and memories flooding my mind. I
see glimpses of her life flashing before me, like the
(13:04):
pages of an old photo album. Images of a loving family,
laughter echoing through an ornate dining room, children playing in
the yard with sunlight dappling their faces. But as quickly
as the joyful moments appear, they vanish, replaced by heartbreak
that shatters her world. Eliza, my whisper, overwhelmed by the
(13:25):
weight of her pain. What happened to you? Her eyes
shimmer with unshed tears. I was betrayed, she says, her
voice barely audible, by someone I thought loved me. As
is seen unfolds before me, I witnessed the cruel moment
that sealed her fate, the clandestine rendezvous, whispered promises exchanged
(13:48):
between shadowy figures, and the cold realization that Eliza's trust
had been shattered. With each revelation, my heart aches for her,
and I know I must find a way to mend
the window of her past. Who did this to you?
I ask, am not forming in my stomach someone who
shares your blood? Eliza replies, her gaze heavy with sorrow.
(14:13):
As I dig deeper into the memories, I uncover long
buried family secrets that intertwined with Eliza's life. The weight
of these truths feels heavy on my shoulders, and I
realize that her sadness is not just her own, but
a reflection of the struggles that have haunted my family
for generations. Is this why you're trapped here? I question,
(14:35):
my hands trembling. Are you bound to the mirror because
of these secrets? Perhaps? She murmurs, her expression distant, as
if lost in thought. The mirror has become a symbol
of the secrets. We carry a prison born from our
fears and regrets. Then we need to release those secrets.
(14:56):
I declare, determination flaring within me. We need to set
you free, Eliza. Thank you, she says, her eyes welling
up with tears. I never thought anyone would understand my pain,
let alone help me heal it. As we stand in
the attic, surrounded by the eery glow of the candles
(15:16):
and the haunting whispers of the past, I know that
our bond transcends time and space. Together we will confront
the darkness that binds us and find a way to
mend the wounds etched into our souls. A shiver runs
down my spine as I stand alone in the darkened attic.
The air is heavy with a sense of anticipation, and
(15:36):
my determination to confront the source of Eliza's pain courses
through me like an electric current. The ghost of betrayal
looms over us both, a shadow that has kept her
trapped for so long, Eliza, I say, softly, feeling her
spirit rally behind me, her strength merging with mine. We
can do this together. We can break these chains. Thank you,
(16:01):
she replies, her voice barely audible yet filled with gratitude.
I have faith in you. The dim light from the
candles flickers around the room, casting eerie shadows on the walls.
My heart raises as I inhale, deeply gathering the courage
to face the darkness head on. Show yourself, I call
out into the gloom, my voice echoing through the attic,
(16:24):
why have you held Eliza captive? All this time? As
if summoned by my words, the air crackles with energy.
I feel Eliza's presence beside me, her own resolve emboldening
my voice. Together we challenge the darkness that binds her,
pushing back against the forces that seek to keep her hidden.
Answer me, I demand, my anger boiling to the surface.
(16:47):
Why are you doing this? What do you gain from
her torment? A low, guttural laugh echoes around us, sending
chills down my spine. The very essence of betrayal materializes
before the mirror, its form shifting and twisting like smoke.
Its malicious grin sends fear coursing through my veins, but
(17:07):
I refuse to back down. Her pain feeds me, it hisses,
its voice dripping with malice. She is bound to me,
just as your family has always been enough, I shout,
my voice, trembling with a mixture of rage and fear.
You have no power over us anymore? Is that so?
(17:30):
The spirit taunts, its laughter, mocking my resolve. You think
you can break a connection forged in blood and sacrifice,
Watch me, I reply, my eyes locked onto the sinister figure.
With Eliza's spirit beside me, I reach out to the mirror,
my hand trembling as it makes contact with the cold glass.
(17:52):
Release her, I cry, my voice filled with conviction. The
air around us vibrates with tension, and I can feel
the darkness struggling against our combined strength. Never, the spirit roars,
its form writhing before us. Let her go. Eliza shouts
her own voice, joining mine in defiance. Together we push
(18:16):
back against the darkness, forcing it to relinquish its hold
in her. As we stand our ground, the very air
seems to shimmer and pulse with energy. The darkness shrieks
in agony as it dissipates, leaving behind nothing but the
silence of the attic. We've done it, We've challenged the
shadows and emerged victorious. Thank you, Eliza whispers, her eyes
(18:39):
brimming with tears. I finally free, Remember I tell her,
my voice still shaking from the intensity of our confrontation.
You are never alone in this. We fought together, true,
she agrees, her gaze softening, and I'll never forget the
(19:00):
one who helped free me from my chains. As we
stand side by side, the weight of our ordeal slowly lifting,
I can't help but feel a sense of pride in
what we've accomplished. We faced the darkness head on, and
together we conquered it. The mirror quivers, glass rippling like
water disturbed by a stone. My pulse raises in tandem
(19:23):
with the pulsating energy that surrounds us and I feel
Eliza's spirit rise, breaking free from her sorrowful chains. A
brilliant explosion of light fills the dusty attic, blinding me
for an instant. As my vision clears, I see Eliza
standing before me, no longer a mere reflection, but a
tangible presence. Her sadness has evaporated, replaced by a radiant
(19:48):
smile that lights up the dim room. She takes a
tentative step forward. Her figure now is solid and rail
Thank you, she breathes, her voice melodious and filled with gratitude.
The air seems to hum with the echoes of her
words sending shivers down my spine. It was my pleasure,
(20:09):
I reply, Still awe struck by the transformation we've wrought,
I reach out to touch her shoulder, expecting my hand
to pass through her as it had done countless times before. Instead,
I find warmth and solidity, proof of her new found freedom.
Is it really over, I ask, my voice barely more
(20:31):
than a whisper, Yes, Eliza replies, her eyes shining with joy.
Thanks to you. A wave of warmth washes over me,
and I know that our combined efforts have fulfilled my
promise to help her. Our connection, once forged by shared sorrow,
will endure as a testament to empathy and courage. Remember,
(20:55):
I tell her, my heart swelling with pride. You were
never alone in this. We fought together, and I'll never
forget the one who helped free me from my chains,
she says. I gaze, never leaving mine With a final embrace.
We part ways, two souls forever changed by their journey
(21:15):
into the past. As I stand before the now ordinary mirror,
I see not only Eliza's triumph, but my own reflections
of strength and determination. I take one last look around
the attic, which now feels empty and devoid of the
energy that once consumed it. My connection with Eliza remains
a bond forged through empathy and courage, an unforgettable adventure
(21:39):
that has irrevocably changed us both. With a heart full
of hope, I descend the creaky stairs, leaving the attic behind,
the knowledge that I have not only set Eliza free,
but discovered a part of myself, and the process fills
me with the new find sense of purpose. As I
step into my present life, forever altered by the past,
(22:01):
I'm ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead, armed with
the memory of the girl who dared to reach beyond
the veil the spirit you find her way home.

This should be what you're looking for. Thank you, I murmur,
cradling the precious volume in my hands. It feels like
a key to unlocking the prison that holds Eliza captive.
Upon returning home, I gather candles, sage, and other items
(11:38):
necessary for the ritual. Their scents mingle in the air,
a symphony of earthy notes that soothe my nerves. As
I prepare to ridge the gap between our worlds, my
fingers tremble with the mix of excitement and fear. As
I light the candles, their flickering flames casting dancing shadows
across the walls of the attic. Eliza, I whisper, daring
(12:00):
into the mirror's depths. I'm ready. As if summoned by
my words, Eliza appears, her sorrowful eyes locked on mine.
The air grows heavy, and I can feel her energy
intertwining with mine. It's as if we're connected by an
invisible thread, pulling me deeper into her sorrow. Are you
(12:20):
sure this will work, Eliza asks, her voice barely audible.
I don't know, I admit my heart pounding in my chest,
but I have to try. Thank you, she says, her
eyes glistening with unshed tears. Together we embark on a
journey into the unknown, her spirits united by a sheared
(12:42):
determination to break the chains that bind us to the past.
And as we stand at the precipice of possibility, hope
flares within our hearts, a beacon of light guiding us
through the darkness. The connection between Eliza and May Surgey's
a torrent of emotions and memories flooding my mind. I
see glimpses of her life flashing before me, like the
(13:04):
pages of an old photo album. Images of a loving family,
laughter echoing through an ornate dining room, children playing in
the yard with sunlight dappling their faces. But as quickly
as the joyful moments appear, they vanish, replaced by heartbreak
that shatters her world. Eliza, my whisper, overwhelmed by the
(13:25):
weight of her pain. What happened to you? Her eyes
shimmer with unshed tears. I was betrayed, she says, her
voice barely audible, by someone I thought loved me. As
is seen unfolds before me, I witnessed the cruel moment
that sealed her fate, the clandestine rendezvous, whispered promises exchanged
(13:48):
between shadowy figures, and the cold realization that Eliza's trust
had been shattered. With each revelation, my heart aches for her,
and I know I must find a way to mend
the window of her past. Who did this to you?
I ask, am not forming in my stomach someone who
shares your blood? Eliza replies, her gaze heavy with sorrow.
(14:13):
As I dig deeper into the memories, I uncover long
buried family secrets that intertwined with Eliza's life. The weight
of these truths feels heavy on my shoulders, and I
realize that her sadness is not just her own, but
a reflection of the struggles that have haunted my family
for generations. Is this why you're trapped here? I question,
(14:35):
my hands trembling. Are you bound to the mirror because
of these secrets? Perhaps? She murmurs, her expression distant, as
if lost in thought. The mirror has become a symbol
of the secrets. We carry a prison born from our
fears and regrets. Then we need to release those secrets.
(14:56):
I declare, determination flaring within me. We need to set
you free, Eliza. Thank you, she says, her eyes welling
up with tears. I never thought anyone would understand my pain,
let alone help me heal it. As we stand in
the attic, surrounded by the eery glow of the candles
(15:16):
and the haunting whispers of the past, I know that
our bond transcends time and space. Together we will confront
the darkness that binds us and find a way to
mend the wounds etched into our souls. A shiver runs
down my spine as I stand alone in the darkened attic.
The air is heavy with a sense of anticipation, and
(15:36):
my determination to confront the source of Eliza's pain courses
through me like an electric current. The ghost of betrayal
looms over us both, a shadow that has kept her
trapped for so long, Eliza, I say, softly, feeling her
spirit rally behind me, her strength merging with mine. We
can do this together. We can break these chains. Thank you,
(16:01):
she replies, her voice barely audible yet filled with gratitude.
I have faith in you. The dim light from the
candles flickers around the room, casting eerie shadows on the walls.
My heart raises as I inhale, deeply gathering the courage
to face the darkness head on. Show yourself, I call
out into the gloom, my voice echoing through the attic,
(16:24):
why have you held Eliza captive? All this time? As
if summoned by my words, the air crackles with energy.
I feel Eliza's presence beside me, her own resolve emboldening
my voice. Together we challenge the darkness that binds her,
pushing back against the forces that seek to keep her hidden.
Answer me, I demand, my anger boiling to the surface.
(16:47):
Why are you doing this? What do you gain from
her torment? A low, guttural laugh echoes around us, sending
chills down my spine. The very essence of betrayal materializes
before the mirror, its form shifting and twisting like smoke.
Its malicious grin sends fear coursing through my veins, but
(17:07):
I refuse to back down. Her pain feeds me, it hisses,
its voice dripping with malice. She is bound to me,
just as your family has always been enough, I shout,
my voice, trembling with a mixture of rage and fear.
You have no power over us anymore? Is that so?
(17:30):
The spirit taunts, its laughter, mocking my resolve. You think
you can break a connection forged in blood and sacrifice,
Watch me, I reply, my eyes locked onto the sinister figure.
With Eliza's spirit beside me, I reach out to the mirror,
my hand trembling as it makes contact with the cold glass.
(17:52):
Release her, I cry, my voice filled with conviction. The
air around us vibrates with tension, and I can feel
the darkness struggling against our combined strength. Never, the spirit roars,
its form writhing before us. Let her go. Eliza shouts
her own voice, joining mine in defiance. Together we push
(18:16):
back against the darkness, forcing it to relinquish its hold
in her. As we stand our ground, the very air
seems to shimmer and pulse with energy. The darkness shrieks
in agony as it dissipates, leaving behind nothing but the
silence of the attic. We've done it, We've challenged the
shadows and emerged victorious. Thank you, Eliza whispers, her eyes
(18:39):
brimming with tears. I finally free, Remember I tell her,
my voice still shaking from the intensity of our confrontation.
You are never alone in this. We fought together, true,
she agrees, her gaze softening, and I'll never forget the
(19:00):
one who helped free me from my chains. As we
stand side by side, the weight of our ordeal slowly lifting,
I can't help but feel a sense of pride in
what we've accomplished. We faced the darkness head on, and
together we conquered it. The mirror quivers, glass rippling like
water disturbed by a stone. My pulse raises in tandem
(19:23):
with the pulsating energy that surrounds us and I feel
Eliza's spirit rise, breaking free from her sorrowful chains. A
brilliant explosion of light fills the dusty attic, blinding me
for an instant. As my vision clears, I see Eliza
standing before me, no longer a mere reflection, but a
tangible presence. Her sadness has evaporated, replaced by a radiant
(19:48):
smile that lights up the dim room. She takes a
tentative step forward. Her figure now is solid and rail
Thank you, she breathes, her voice melodious and filled with gratitude.
The air seems to hum with the echoes of her
words sending shivers down my spine. It was my pleasure,
(20:09):
I reply, Still awe struck by the transformation we've wrought,
I reach out to touch her shoulder, expecting my hand
to pass through her as it had done countless times before. Instead,
I find warmth and solidity, proof of her new found freedom.
Is it really over, I ask, my voice barely more
(20:31):
than a whisper, Yes, Eliza replies, her eyes shining with joy.
Thanks to you. A wave of warmth washes over me,
and I know that our combined efforts have fulfilled my
promise to help her. Our connection, once forged by shared sorrow,
will endure as a testament to empathy and courage. Remember,
(20:55):
I tell her, my heart swelling with pride. You were
never alone in this. We fought together, and I'll never
forget the one who helped free me from my chains,
she says. I gaze, never leaving mine With a final embrace.
We part ways, two souls forever changed by their journey
(21:15):
into the past. As I stand before the now ordinary mirror,
I see not only Eliza's triumph, but my own reflections
of strength and determination. I take one last look around
the attic, which now feels empty and devoid of the
energy that once consumed it. My connection with Eliza remains
a bond forged through empathy and courage, an unforgettable adventure
(21:39):
that has irrevocably changed us both. With a heart full
of hope, I descend the creaky stairs, leaving the attic behind,
the knowledge that I have not only set Eliza free,
but discovered a part of myself, and the process fills
me with the new find sense of purpose. As I
step into my present life, forever altered by the past,
(22:01):
I'm ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead, armed with
the memory of the girl who dared to reach beyond
the veil the spirit you find her way home.
