Speaker 1 (00:05):
This episode is brought to you by my newest supporters, James, Vicky, Karen,
Linda and Tara. Thank you so very much for making
the show possible. Welcome back to Paranormal Mysteries, and thank

(00:50):
you for joining me as we explore the unknown. As always,
I'm your host, Nick Ryan. Let's begin tonight's journey with Michelle,
who calls their experience the New House. Continued in episode
four forty nine, Michelle shared several different experiences, and a
handful of those encounters took place in a home that

(01:12):
Michelle and her family moved into when she was just
eight years old. I highly recommend listening to that episode
as all of Michelle's experiences are quite fascinating, and tonight's
submission is a continuation of the events that took place
in that very same house. This is what Michelle had
to say, Hello, Nick, I'm still working my way through

(01:34):
the podcast and listening every chance I get. I'm going
to pick up where I left off. Let me start
by saying that this house was just across the water
from where the Battle of North Point happened. That was
the last battle for the Battle of Baltimore. It was
where the British Mayor General Robert Ross was killed by
one of the three sharp shooting teens. This battle bought

(01:56):
time for more American forces to get to Baltimore and
then defended from the British at Fort McHenry. One of
the things that happened in that house was a shadow figure.
I heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs one night,
and instantly I knew that it was a spirit. When
it reached the landing, I could see the silhouette. He
wore a strange hat and had a long overcoat on

(02:18):
with like a short cape at the top around the shoulders.
He also had on boots that looked like pirate swashbuckler boots.
They were kind of wrinkled at the bottom with the
tops turned down in a big fold. It didn't come
into my room, it went into the room across the hall.
Ever since then, I tried to place the uniform and
hat that I saw the spirit wearing. The overcoat looked

(02:41):
just like the one depicted on Francis Scott Key at
britannica dot com. The hat was the fanlike hat that
officers wore both by the American and British military. But
the boots, well, I haven't found any pictures showing the
saggy style boots. Both sides in eighteen fourteen wore tall,
straight street and style boots, so I'm still at a

(03:02):
loss as to identifying the area that this soldier, who
was probably an officer, was from. Another time in the house,
I was in bed trying to go to sleep. I
had always slept on my back because I felt vulnerable
sleeping on my stomach and not being able to see
the room. So I decided that it was a childish
fear of the dark and I was going to get

(03:23):
over it. I turned on my stomach and was trying
to sleep when suddenly I heard the deafening sound of
a lion roar right next to my bed, and then
I heard a loud ripping sound, as if a lion
ripped through the carpet with one of its claws. I
literally spun from my stomach to my back in one
swift spin, and I didn't even mess up the blankets.

(03:43):
I don't think I could do that again if I tried.
I looked around the room, but I didn't see anything,
and nobody else heard it. Another day, I was on
the phone talking to my boyfriend. It was the early eighties,
back in the days when people had touched tone house phones,
and I was like on the couch with the phone
to my ear. He knew that I had experiences with

(04:04):
the paranormal, and I was telling him about the latest
developments when suddenly the phone was yanked out of my hand,
levitated over my head for a second, and then it
hit me across the side of my face on my jaw.
I quickly got the message, and I never talked to
my boyfriend about things like that again unless I was
at his house. Another time in the house, I was

(04:27):
in my room, sitting at my desk when I felt
a vibration in the room, which turned into a rumble,
and it then turned into an earthquake like activity, and
everything on my walls fell off. I tried to stand up,
but I fell into a crouch because the shaking was
that bad. When it stopped, I ran downstairs to my mother,
but nothing downstairs was affected. I asked my mom if

(04:48):
she felt the earthquake, and she had no idea what
I was talking about. So I took her up to
my room and I showed her the disarray. All she
said was clean up that mess. One time, while I
was at my aforementioned boyfriend's house one day. I was
in his room waiting for him to get ready for
us to go out. He was in the shower. I

(05:10):
was sitting at the bottom of his bed in front
of his desk where his computer was. He was the
first person I knew that had their own computer. Mind you,
this was nineteen eighty two. It cost a thousand dollars,
which was a fortune in those days. I wouldn't dare
touch it. While he was in the shower, I attempted
to stand up and stretch my legs a bit, but
I realized I couldn't move. It was as if I

(05:32):
had just ran into a brick wall. When I tried
to move, suddenly, my body leaned forward and my hands
reached out to the computer keyboard. My head then tilted back,
and an evil laugh came out of my mouth. While
my hands were typing, I didn't know what I was horrified.
I was wondering when this was going to end and

(05:53):
what it was going to make me do. Just then
I heard the water go off in the bathroom and
then silence. After I was done laughing and typing, my
boyfriend slowly opened the door and asked who else was
in the room. I said nobody, and he said, but
I heard you and an old woman laughing, and it
was freaky. Then I told him what happened. I then

(06:16):
asked him to look at the screen and tell me
what it said. He said that it was an address
and that he knew the house. He said that it
had been vacant for a long time and that it
was reportedly haunted. I said, yeah, I can confirm that,
and he said, let's go there. I then told him
that he was out of his mind and that the
spirit had possessed me all the way from there to

(06:38):
his house, and that there was no way in hell
I was going anywhere near that address. Michel calls this
next portion remote viewing. I was home talking to my
boyfriend again, and he decided that I should work on
strengthening my abilities. So he said that every night before
our call, I should focus on him and tell him

(06:59):
what I see. So the first time we did this,
I did see an image, but I knew that it
was all wrong. I then called him and I said
it didn't work. He asked if I saw something and
I said, yeah, but it's all wrong. He then prodded
me until I told him what I saw. I said, well,
you were in the basement lifting weights, which I don't

(07:20):
doubt that you were doing, but I saw something on
the wall at the top of the basement steps that
I know isn't there. He then asked me what it was,
so I told him that I saw three skeleton keys
hanging on the wall. He was completely silent for a
few seconds, and I said, see, I told you it
was all wrong, But then he said, no, it's not.

(07:42):
My mother went shopping today and brought them home. She
actually hung them exactly where you saw them. Our next
experience comes to us from Tessa, and Tessa's story is
called Shadow Figure in the Woods. Hello, Nick, I've been

(08:03):
listening to your podcast every day on my way home
from school and I absolutely love it. I've always been
fascinated by the paranormal, even though I've never really had
any major experiences myself. I've always been sensitive to energies.
When I walk into a room, I can instantly feel
the vibe. My mood usually shifts depending on what kind
of energy is there. But anyway, on to my story.

(08:27):
Last year, I went on vacation with some friends to
a resort in the forest where you can rent small cabins.
We're all broke college students, so our cabin was one
of the cheaper ones, talked away at the edge of
the park, far away from the pool and restaurants, but
it had a beautiful and kind of creepy forest view.
The moment that we walked inside, I felt an eerie energy,

(08:49):
especially in the bedroom I was sharing with my boyfriend.
I had an extreme urge to ask if we could
swap rooms with one of our friends, but I brushed
it off and I tried not to overthink it. A
little background on my boyfriend is that he's always been
able to see and hear things that other people can't.
Since he was a kid, He's seen shadow figures and
other entities, and that still happens the day. One strange

(09:13):
thing he always mentions is hearing me say things, even
when I haven't said a word. He'll ask me what
you just say, and I'll reply, what do you mean?
I didn't say anything, However, he always insists that he
heard me clearly. Now. On that last night of our stay,
something really unsettling happened. It was around twelve thirty a

(09:34):
m Me and my boyfriend were sitting on the couch
when he suddenly said he heard something outside. He went
to check, but it turned out it was just a squirrel,
so nothing strange there. He then came back inside, grabbed
a cigarette, and went back out to smoke with one
of his friends. They sat in the garden facing the forest.
A minute later, my boyfriend suddenly flinched and said, there's

(09:57):
some one standing in the woods. Both of them rushed
back and were standing in the doorway to the garden
while our friend repeated what my boyfriend had just told him,
and my boyfriend turned back to look at where he
just saw the figure. I went to the door to
look too, because I know my boyfriend's history with shadow figures,
and I could tell that he wasn't joking. I asked
him what it looked like, and he said that it

(10:19):
was a pitch black, smoky figure with two white eyes.
He then said that it was still there, so we
all stared out into the dark forest for about thirty seconds.
Our friend tried to lighten the mood by saying, we
look like we're on a horror movie poster right now.
I laughed and agreed, but my boyfriend didn't react. He
was just staring, completely focused on something. Then out of nowhere,

(10:44):
he started waving. I touched his shoulder and I asked
who he was waving at, but he didn't respond. I
said his name, but still nothing, so, not thinking clearly,
I started waving as well. Our friend noticed that something
was off, so he snapped his fingers in front of
my boyfriend's face, and my boyfriend flinched like he'd snapped

(11:04):
out of a trance. Later, he told us that his
vision had gone completely black and the only thing that
he could see was the shadow figure waving at him,
and he said that it was whispering something to him
in gibberish. To him, the whole thing lasted about five seconds,
but for us it was more like two minutes. We
all went back inside shaken. Sitting on the couch again,

(11:28):
my boyfriend suddenly said it's inside. He then pointed toward
our bedroom and said that it was peeking from the
doorway and watching us. I was terrified. After a few moments, though,
he said it was gone. Around two thirty am, we
finally decided to try to sleep. However, I was dreading it.
We were lying in bed watching Instagram reels when he

(11:51):
tapped me on my shoulder. That's not unusual though, as
he has ADHD and he fidgets a lot, so I
just tapped him back. But he then asked what's up
and I said, you tapped me. He looked confused and
he said no, I didn't. My hands had been here
the whole time. Eventually we brushed it off, figuring that
he maybe did it subconsciously, but looking back, that probably

(12:14):
wasn't the case. A few minutes later, while we were cuddling,
he suddenly said, hmm, what'd you say. I replied, huh,
because I hadn't said anything. He looked confused and said,
you said what? But I told him again that I
hadn't said anything, and he went completely silent. So as
not to make him freak out, I said, oh, yeah,

(12:36):
I did say what My bad. He then sighed in
relief and said that he was glad because for a
second he got scared. I knew that he didn't really
believe me, but he was just trying to convince himself
that nothing happened. Later, while I was holding him, he
started flinching every few seconds. I asked him what was wrong,
and he said that he just had the urge to

(12:56):
do it. However, I could tell that wasn't the truth,
and he didn't want to scare me. The next day,
he told me that every time he closed his eyes,
he saw that same shadow figure rushing toward him. He
eventually rolled onto his back trying to calm down. Then
out of nowhere, I heard a clear, breathy Hi. It

(13:16):
sounded exactly like his voice. I froze, but I didn't
say anything because I didn't want to panic him. The
next morning, I told him about it, and he swore
that he hadn't said a word. Later, when we talked
about it with two of our friends, we all agreed
that the cabin had felt off from the very beginning.
We constantly felt like we were being watched. Honestly, I

(13:38):
still don't know what to think. If anyone's experienced something similar,
I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if anyone knows
why my boyfriend sometimes hear me say things when I didn't.
Is it possible that it could be some kind of
a mimic. Anyway, Thanks for reading this, Nick, and keep
up the amazing work. This next experience comes to us

(14:04):
from Ramona, and Ramona calls her experience my baby Ramona
says this happened about forty years ago. When I was
pregnant with my second child. I had a feeling that
I was going to lose her through the pregnancy. One morning,
at about five a m. I had woken up. I
was about six months so long. It was that time

(14:26):
of morning when it wasn't really daytime or nighttime, but
I guess it was dawn. I looked up and standing
in my doorway was a lady holding a baby. She
held it up for me to see her, and she
then disappeared. I didn't wake up my husband, and I
just went to work At work. I told a coworker
about my sighting, and she told me that it was

(14:47):
a sign that I was going to lose my baby.
When I got home, I told my husband about it,
and he asked me what the lady that was holding
the baby looked like. So I told him. He then
turned white and told told me that I had just
described his mother. You see, I had never met her
because she died before I met him. Later, we went

(15:08):
to his dad's house and he showed me a picture
of his mother, and it was her. I decided that
she was telling me that even if I lost her
she would be taken care of. However, she ended up
being my healthiest one. Before I continue, please consider showing

our next experience comes to us from Jay and Jay's
experience is called a Dream that became a luxury Carmaker commercial.

(16:13):
Jay says, I'm originally from Venezuela. When i was about
eighteen years old, I had one of the most vivid
and extraordinary dreams of my life. It began with me
walking into a foggy tunnel, thick with vapor and almost
impossible to see throw. As I moved forward, I began
to hear distant voices. They were muffled and hard to understand,

(16:35):
but as I got closer I realized they were talking
about someone who was coming to join them. That someone
was me. As I approached, there was an explosion of joy.
Cheers erupted, and people jumped around with excitement. I saw
five or six young men all around my age at
the time, and they were genuinely thrilled to see me.

(16:55):
I had never felt such pure happiness, except perhaps when
I reunite with Fame. These people embraced me, asking why
it had taken me so long to arrive. However, I
was too stunned by their welcome to even respond. We
began to move and talk, and I realized that we
were floating in the clouds. It sounds strange, but that's

(17:15):
exactly where we were. Everyone was doing silly, joyful things.
One person was meditating on a small cloud in the
lotus position like a Buddha, another was swimming through the clouds,
and someone else struck a superman flying pose. The atmosphere
was filled with laughter, playfulness, and an overwhelming sense of love,
joy and belonging. It was a feeling that I have

(17:39):
never experienced again. Suddenly I noticed a break in the clouds.
Sunlight poured through, illuminating a breathtaking valley below. I can't
even describe the colors, the temperature, and the sensations. Though
it was a dream. I could hear speak and feel
the air on my skin, the texture of my clothes,

(17:59):
and I could see colors that I've never seen before.
It was like watching a movie, not in four K,
but in sixty K. The valley was lush with vivid
green grass, a winding creek, and a road that followed
the creek's path. My companions decided to descend and have
fun near the cars that were driving below. We jumped
from the clouds, and the fall gave me that stomach

(18:22):
dropping sensation of a roller coaster. However, I had full
control of my descent. My friends were diving like superheroes,
doing flips and imitating Olympic swimmers. It was exhilarating. We
screamed and laughed all the way down. It was pure
joy and happiness. Even during the dive. I could feel
layers of warm and cool air brushing through my hair

(18:43):
and flapping my clothes. When we reached the level of
the cars, we flew around them, and strangely, the people
inside didn't notice us. We were invisible to them. I
flew between a car and the creek, and just as
the car hit a pothole filled with water, it splashed
into my face. My companions burst into laughter, and so
did I. It was pure joy. Then I woke up.

(19:08):
The moment I opened my eyes, I was hit with
a deep sadness. I was back in this reality where
we live like prisoners in our own bodies. I felt confined,
no longer free like I had been with those people.
If you had asked me then whether I wanted to
return to my normal life or stay in that dream,
I would have said with absolute certainty that I wanted

(19:29):
to stay. I belonged there. I was loved and accepted
for who I was. Now. I've had happy moments in
my life, like the day that my son was born,
but nothing compares to the love, acceptance, and sense of
belonging that I felt in that dream. For years afterward,
I struggled with depression, longing to feel that way again. However,

(19:52):
here's the strangest part about thirty five years later, now
living in the US, I was watching TV when a
Bee MW commercial came on. It was called the BMWX
five Guardian Angels. To my shock and horror, the commercial
depicted my dream. Every detail was there, even an angel
getting splashed in the face with water, just like me.

(20:16):
How is that even possible? How could a dream that
I had at eighteen while living overseas appear in a
US commercial decades later? You can find it on YouTube
by searching BMWX five Guardian Angel TV commercial. This experience
was so profound that I showed the video to my wife,
so she watched it and she said something that sent

(20:36):
chills down my spine. She said, look at the angels.
Look at the one who got splashed. He looks just
like you when you were younger. If what you're saying
is true, that angel is you, they are depicting you
in your dream. I was overwhelmed with emotion and I
started to cry. I just don't know how to explain it.

(20:58):
I'm not losing my mind. I remember telling my mom
about the dream, and she suggested that it was maybe
an astral projection, which was a term I didn't understand
back then. So how did this happen? It feels unreal?
What kind of mysterious twist is this? If any of
your listeners have an explanation or have experienced something similar,

(21:19):
I would love to hear from them. Thank you, Nick
for your program. I listen every chance I get, and
thank you to your listeners. I truly feel as though
we are part of a community for anyone interested. I've
added a link in the show notes to the commercial
that Jay mentioned. Our next experience comes to us from

(21:43):
HG and their experience is called he Just Knowshi Nick.
I want to start with a little background. I have
always believed and had many experiences that I consider paranormal,
but nothing perplexes me more than the oddities with my
I have four sons, but the oldest, I'll call him R,

(22:04):
has always had an uncannyability where he just knows things
that he shouldn't. The first instance was when he was three.
We had gone on a beach vacation with my in laws.
My husband and I took R out to the beach
alone on the first afternoon and we had a blast.
He couldn't wait to go back the next day with
his grandparents and baby brothers. It rained some through the night,

(22:26):
but the morning was perfect. R, however, was adamant that
we could not go to the beach because there were
alligators in the water. We tried to reassure him, but
he wasn't having yet, so we went to the beach
and R refused to go anywhere near the water. My
husband brought the twins in the water, and R went
into a panic so bad that we decided to pack

(22:46):
up and leave. As we were walking to the car,
a man approached us and told us that while he
was fishing on the pier, he saw that an alligator
was stalking my husband and my twin babies up and
down the beach. Animal control was then called and the
alligator was caught and relocated. However, there was absolutely no
way that R could have known anything about this. The

(23:08):
next incident happened a few weeks later. We were going
to visit family and R said, Mama, we can't go
this way. The bridge is broken. I then assured him
that it wasn't and even made a point to call
my cousin, who was the county supervisor, to make sure.
He assured R that the bridge was safe. So we
get to the bridge and we find that the bridge

(23:30):
had shifted and there was now a two to three
foot gap between the bridge and the land on our side.
I called my cousin back and he sent out a
crew to inspect it and the bridge stayed shut down
for nearly five years. The next incident happened when he
was five. My husband and I had been trying for
one more baby, and I had just found out that

(23:50):
I was pregnant. When we told the boys, R said
that he was sad because he wanted a sister, and
that she was going to go back to heaven instead
of being born naturally. This upset me, but I tried
not to believe that he was right. Fifteen weeks into
the pregnancy, it happened. The baby passed, and we found

(24:10):
out that she had had a trisomy thirteen and that
she wouldn't have been able to survive long had she
been born, and that most babies with this condition don't
survive in the womb. Somehow, AR knew that she wouldn't
be born, but we did go on to be blessed
with our last and final child, a fourth boy, a
year later. R is older now, he's about to be twelve,

(24:33):
and he still retains his unusual insights, although spacifics are
less frequent now and it's usually just a very strong intuition.
He's also had many paranormal experiences of his own, and
he also claims to see and hear shadow people, but
I always have as well, so I don't doubt his claims.
I'll come back another time, though, and share more of

(24:56):
those stories. Before I bring tonight's episode to an end.
I'd like to thank all of our experiencers for coming
forward with their stories, and of course, I truly appreciate
each and every one of you for listening and showing
your support. With that being said, I hope you all
have a wonderful rest of your evening, and I'll be

(25:17):
back this Friday with a special Halloween edition of Paranormal Mysterrays.
And until then, stay open minded and stay safe, because,
after all, the next person that comes face to face
with a paranormal mystery might be you,
