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
As Evans. Today we have another haunting story for you,
So sit back and relax because ghost stories are next. Now.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
My friends and I have gone on a number of
haunting expeditions throughout the country. Even I wouldn't call us
anything more than amateur ghost hunters. Even when one is
an amateur, you can still find some pretty compelling evidence
when it comes to the existence of an afterlife. As
they say, it is always better to be lucky than good.
I guess you could say one of the luckiest, if
one would consider coming in contact with an entity, was
(01:35):
when we explored an old sanitarium back in the southern
part of the United States. Most of these places where
places of extreme sadness and neglect. In many cases, people
were thrown away and left for a number of reasons
that today would have been considered unthinkable. But if one's
family couldn't afford to send you to one of the
cushy locations, the person would find themselves locked away in
(01:56):
a staborn facility. I'm sure if you'd ever find yourself
free again. Some of the most haunted locations in America
are places like the one we went to. Most experts
in this field would tell you that such concentrated amounts
of abuse, torture, and death are the ingredients one needs
to see a building with untold spirits of people who
(02:19):
find themselves unable to move on from this world. Even
though we should have been more aware of the situation
we were walking into, the five of us were confident
that we were capable of handling whatever the sanitarium had
to throw at us. Though we experienced a number of
terrifying things in the building, the worst was probably down
in the morgue. The plan was for me and my
(02:40):
girlfriend Eric at the time, to go down there and
do a call and response session, along with setting up
devices that were supposed to be able to detect when
a magnetic field passed nearby. Both Eric and I thought
we would have a pretty good chance of getting something
on the recorder while we were down there. It was
just after one am when we finally decided to head
down to the moor. Even after all the places we'd
(03:02):
explored to that point, I still have to admit I
was a bit nervous about what we were walking into.
If rumors were true, over a thousand people had died
inside these walls, and every one of them, at one
point in time, had been taken to the very place
the two of us were going. The first thing that
I felt when I walked into the morgue was the
heaviness in the room. It was both a physical and
(03:23):
mental feeling. The ceiling in the room was low, even
for a place in a basement, which made you stoop
as if you couldn't stand up straight in the room,
even though there was almost a foot of space between
it and the top of my head. As bad as
the ceiling was, it was the feeling in there that
was the worst. The place just felt wrong. I'd been
in places where I'd felt like I was being watched before,
(03:43):
but in there it was almost like I was being
hunted and whatever was there was closing in I was
constantly looking over my shoulder the entire time, truly expecting
someone or something to be there. We set up the
equipment and went about asking questions like what is your name?
And do you have anything you want to tell us.
Though the room was quiet, we continued to record the
(04:04):
digital voice recorders we both had in hopes of picking
up something below the normal range of human ears. The
devices that detected magnetic fields went off a number of times,
which had me and Erica jumping out of our skin.
By the time the forty five minutes we had allotted
was up, I think both of us are ready to
get out of there. All five of us took a
turn down there, but it was my friend Tony that
(04:25):
got the worst of it. Given there was no odd
number of us, he was the one who volunteered to
go down there by himself. It had been bad enough
being there with Erica, to be alone would have been terrifying. Still,
all of us had been alone in places before, though
were haunted, and our confidence in our skills probably left
us blind to the dangers, especially those of an angry spirit.
(04:46):
We didn't want him completely cut off to the four
of us, so Tony and I both had a radio
in case he needed to call for help. All of
us waited upstairs while he did his own call and
respond session, expecting to hear a similar account to our room.
This couldn't have been for from the truth. The first
thing that should inclued us in was when Tony started
talking about hearing something moving behind him, almost like someone
(05:07):
was shuffling their feet. He'd keep his channel broadcasting to us,
but the noise was quiet enough we weren't able to
hear it over the radio. Again and again he asked,
is someone there, but didn't get any response that he heard.
Things only got worse from there. He claimed to hear
scratches coming from all around him and what sounded like
rocks being thrown. Then all help broke loose in the morgue.
(05:29):
The last coherent thing that came over the radio was
Tony saying six words, I think something just touched me.
Then he started screaming over the radio, and all we
could do was run and hope that we got there
in time. It took us over a minute to get
to where Tony was. At the entire last thirty seconds,
all of us could hear our friends screaming in the distance.
It was the most terrified I'd ever been on one
of these things. By the time we made it to
(05:50):
the morgue, Tony had gone silent, and I was just
hoping he was okay. The small lantern that he'd brought
with him was tipped over, but still working. I scanned
the edges of the room, my flashlight cutting through the darkness,
until the circle of light came upon something huddling in
one corner of the room. If I hadn't been able
to recognize the clothes he was wearing, there would have
been no way for me to have known it was Tony.
(06:12):
His entire body was shaking, as if he were cold
and shivering. His knees had been pulled up to his chest,
and he'd wrapped his arms around them, with his head
tucked between his knees. I slowly walked over to my friend,
trying not to frighten him. Hey, Tony, it's me You okay, ma'am.
He didn't respond to my words, so I put my
(06:34):
hand on his shoulder with speed I hadn't seen in him.
Tony leaped from the corner as if I'd attacked him.
I could see the fear in his eyes for a moment,
a wildness that I had never seen before, a wildness
that hadn't been there before. It disappeared quickly and really
flooded his features. I walked over and put my arms
(06:54):
around him, and he began to sob silently. I'm sure,
concerned to line my features as my eyes asked a
silent question to the others. We had all seen and
experienced some strange things in our time doing this, but
nothing that would elicit such a reaction like this. He
continued to cry for another minute before he was able
(07:16):
to pull himself together enough to walk out on his own.
None of us were really interested in staying in the
building anymore after seeing how Tony had reacted. Still, we
had enough of our stuff in there that we couldn't
just give up and leave in the middle of the night.
We decided that we'd just have to stay the night
in our vehicles and pack up in the morning. It
wasn't until we got outside that I was finally able
(07:36):
to check Tony out and see if he was physically okay.
To my horror, I could see scratches lining his arms,
almost like someone had raked their nails along his skin.
There was also dark bruising around both of his wrists,
and this was just the things that I could see.
I'd heard of spirits being able to physically manifest wounds
on a person's body, but this was the first time
(07:56):
I'd ever been able to witness at firsthand. Seeing his
injuries also had me curious about the audio that we'd
all picked up on the recorders while we were down there.
I quickly loaded it up on my laptop and began
listening to any unexplained voices. I wasn't surprised by the
number of things I found as I listened to the data.
Many different voices came through, saying help me get out, run,
(08:20):
as well as other things like crying and moaning. The
worst thing I heard was a voice from Tony's recorder
that said, he's here. I have to wonder if the
he they spoke of is the one who's is the
one who is responsible for the scratches and bruising he suffered.
That was the last time Tony ever went on an
(08:40):
investigation with us. Truthfully, I can't blame the guy. If
I'd been through what he had, I probably would have
quit too. All of the places we go now are
a lot tamer than the sanitarium. I don't think any
of us want to experience anything to the level we
did that night. I have toyed around with the idea
of going back, but every time I do, I have
night years of that place, and I quickly changed my mind.
(09:03):
In our case, over confidence was our downfall.
