Tonight, Nick joins us to share unexplained experiences that began in early childhood. From memories of a possible past life and a strange encounter in his great-grandparents' home, to witnessing an unusual craft with neighbors across the street, Nick's story spans decades. He also discusses dreams that appear to predict future conversations, and the ongoing paranormal activity that his family experiences in the very home where many of these events first began.

(03:01):
the podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's good to have you join us tonight because I
know it's late for you and you'll call in from Ohio.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
State in Ohio. That's right home of Wright Patterson Air
Force Base. And you know, all that is strange.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Sometimes all that is strange. Yes, I always bring my
guest up on the Mamo and you got the Miami
River going through, Yeah, so I naturally googled it. I thought,
that's strange. Miami River. Does that go all the way
down to Florida? And it's not. It's named after the
Miami people, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, heavy Native American culturally inspired naming of quite a
bit to deal with this area of Ohio. But it's
it's namely after indigenous and Native Americans.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
So I was wondering why Miami because my brother lived
in Miami for a few years. I was worried about
the name. It makes sense now, but they didn't. They
never lived in Florida, did they.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
It's funny how it seems like nowadays they're starting to
be this awakening of history that we're starting to see
and things are going back farther and farther. We're starting
to see the trade has been opened up in the
world much much sooner than we had thought much earlier.
But yeah, and I think that's somewhat of the magic

(04:20):
to this area. You know, because we've it's full of history.
I love this city that I've been lucky enough to
be born in and raised in. You know, it's nicknamed
the Gym City because we sat right above Cincinnati. We
were the gym on the crown of the queen city.
You know, that's what Cincinnati was named after. But it

(04:41):
was also you know, Cincinnati was such a hustling, bustling
trade point in the early development of Ohio into the
industry and to the eighteen hundreds that Dayton kind of
collected this unique atmosphere and we really again, I'm very
lucky to be from the area I'm from. I must say,

(05:05):
I love everything about this Now that's good.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
I always love hearing the history of you know, where
people come from. Learn something every day.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I totally agree.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Okay, now, Nick, you have some experiences you're going to
be sharing with us. Would you like to start at
the beginning, please, sir?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, yeah, my experience has started at a very young age,
and it's not the youngest experience I had. I honestly
don't remember it completely. I sort of remember. We would
often go and we would stay over the weekend with
a relative. So this being my aunt at the time.

(05:40):
We would always she would take me out. We'd have
a good time. She'd take me out to eat, we'd
come back, we'd play games. She lived in a small
trailer in Dayton, Ohio at that time, and at the
end of the night, you know, we would start to
settle down. She had one bed, you know, I would
sleep next to her as she was. She was very protective.

(06:02):
She didn't have children of her own. She was my
mother's only sister, but she took great care of me,
and this story never left her and she would constantly
bring it up. Unfortunately, my aunt has passed away since then,
but it really affected her deeply. The story that she

(06:23):
would reiterate to me was that we were laying in
bed just talking through the night. You know. It often
would start with a story and then maybe would just
end with just us just talking until I fell asleep,
and I allegedly at that time, started to drift into

(06:44):
I guess a past life is the best. That's the
best way I can describe it. I spoke of an
area where I lived, friends that my father had, where
my father worked, you know, gave addresses of that nature,
and eventually drifted off to sleep. My aunt. The next

(07:05):
day when she dropped me off back to my parents,
she started talking to my dad about some of these
names in these places, and my dad had no clue
what she was talking about. Zero percent. This was kind
of a shock to him, you know. At the same time,

(07:26):
I was very very young. It was I have a
pretty decent memory from around the age of four to five,
but this probably would have been around the time I
would be three. I was most likely staying over there
because my brother was about to be born at that point,
so I remember I kind of got bounced around on

(07:48):
the weekends, so I'd go from my aunts and my grandmother's.
But it really it kind of, you know, shook him
a little bit too. He didn't quite know what to
take of it. So yeah, that kind of kicked every
thing off. Not long after that, you know, we would
go to another oddity that popped up. We would go

(08:08):
to family dinners on my dad's side of the family,
which nobody in my dad's side of the family was
extremely close, you know. Unfortunately, his mother passed away at
a very young age for him. He was around the
age of twelve when they got into a car accident
in the city close to where I'm at now in Inglewood, Ohio.

(08:28):
But this would have been his grandparents' farm house essentially
that they would go back to for these dinners, which
would have been my grandmother's house. So we would go
over there with the cousins and we would play. We'd
have a good time again pre internet days, so it
was all about just having fun running through the house.

(08:52):
The minimal toys that the toys they had there probably
were left over from when my dad was young, so
more of building blocks, things of that nature. But the
house had something about it. It had the beautiful old house,
two stories. Root cellar in the back had sliding doors
that basically quartered off the upstairs, the stairs that went

(09:16):
up to the second floor. There were two bedrooms upstairs
as from what I can remember, but I'll never forget
being in that small kind of hallway with my cousin
looking up the stairs and you can see it was
kind of honestly, it was kind of like that classic
movie where you would see a room, you would see

(09:40):
a rocking chair, you would see a ceiling fan. And
I had only been up there a couple times. I mean,
the room was very dated. They didn't really change the
house much it was mainly used just for those family occasions.
My aunts helped take care of the house. One of
them lived next door. So I remember being in the
hallway that with my cousin and looking up and just

(10:04):
seeing the rocking chair kind of rocking back and forth
on its own, and we could see the fan going
and not turned on, but slightly rotating. And we walked
up there, and when we walked up there, the window
was closed. There was no open air events anything of that.

(10:24):
It didn't the house didn't have central air like they
have now. By the time we walked up there, everything
kind of slowed down. The chair stopped moving, the fan
stopped moving. One of the ants, one of my dad's ants,
came up the stairs asked what we were doing in
the room because we shouldn't have been in the room,
to which we were then ushered out of the room.

(10:46):
That was a moment too that really struck me as
kind of odd. You know, as kids we all tell
ghost stories, but that felt so it was real and
is the only way I can just I mean, that happened,
and it really there was no way to explain it whatsoever.
Later in life now throughout my younger childhood, I spoke

(11:10):
of my brother when he was we were three years apart.
He unfortunately, when he was about he was probably three
or four, he was diagnosed with Dushane's muscular dystrophy. At
that point in time, it was still very There was
no treatments. Life expectancy was low. It was kind of

(11:30):
a shock for a family, especially a family that already
doesn't have a lot to begin with. We grew up
somewhat poor, but we had a house. That was the
main thing. You know that that was the important thing.
But it was kind of a struggle to watch him
not completely develop physically. The way Duchhane muscular dystrophy worked

(11:52):
is that it was a degenerative disease, a muscle disease.
Your body couldn't build muscles properly, and you couldn't the
protein just didn't take. So eventually his body grew, but
his legs couldn't support him. Over time, that weakened everything
that just from a physical perspective, it didn't progress. So

(12:15):
it was hard for my brother to make friends once
he did get into elementary school. Things like that. That time,
there wasn't a great support system. I guess you would
say for those types of diseases, and the school system
was not made really handicap accessible. That still was kind
of behind the time, so to speak. Later on, he

(12:40):
ended up making friends with a boy across the street,
which Cody was. He was smart and you know, he
was my brother through and through, still a smart kid.
It didn't stop him from mentally developing at all. I mean,
he still couldn't, you know, get around it. He just
couldn't get around as well. He didn't fully. Unfortunately, it
wasn't until he was probably around the age of ten

(13:02):
or eleven that it got to the point of immobility.
So he ended up in a wheelchair at that point.
But younger he could still he could still get at it.
He made a friend across the street, though, and at
that time there weren't a ton of immigrants that at
least we knew, not in our neighborhood. Our neighborhood, it

(13:23):
still was kind of an old neighborhood developed in the fifties,
basic suburban you know, starter homes essentially three bedrooms, one bath,
nine hundred square feet. Made friends with the kid across
the street. They were immigrants, I know, I originally in
my recollection they were Lebanese. My father, after speaking to him,

(13:48):
said he thought that they were more from the African side,
North African somewhere, so still slightly within the area. But
I'll never forget. His friend's name was Eric. Eric came
over to play and we had bunk beds at the time,
and it just got an awesome Spider Man poster and
excited to put it on the wall. Came home and

(14:11):
Eric had gotten into I was on the top bunk,
older brother, I get to choose, you know. Eric decided
to climb up there and just literally squashed my Spider Man.
It is what it is. It was a poster. I
didn't really get too upset about it, but I remember
him going home that afternoon. My mom left for work

(14:34):
at that point in time. We get a knock on
the door not long after he went home, and my
dad was the only one here with me and my brother.
And my dad is not a very social guy. He
is a machine shop worker, typically third shift, so he
wouldn't go in until later that evening. Kind of out
of the blue, and it turned out to be Eric

(14:54):
and his family. They had came over from across the street.
They wanted to It was customed for them. They said
basically to just want to meet, you know, their son's
friend and his family. Very nice, you know, again, kind
of out of the ordinary for us though, something different.
Mostly working class families around the area seemed very nice

(15:17):
people though. And they came over and they were asking
about my brother. At that time, his legs were not
functioning obviously properly, but starting to decline. You know, he
was probably I was sent around that time. He was
seven at that time. They started to ask questions and
then it was it was brought up, which you can

(15:40):
tell my dad was slightly perturbed because he didn't know
how to handle the situation at that time. They asked
to pray over his legs, which also was you know,
coming from a family that has these issues that are
out of our control. I think my dad didn't really
know how to take it, and he was a little

(16:01):
perturbed with it. You start to get into the morality
of why us, you know, why my family, and I
think maybe that kind of latched onto my parents for
for a little bit of time, but he let it happen.
My brother very awkward, you know, he didn't know how
to take it either. I just kind of sat and

(16:22):
watched in amazement. We were slightly we We weren't really
church goers. We went to church occasionally, mainly with my
grandfather who was a prominent member at his church where
he lived. But nonetheless, and you know, it was part
of the experience, and it was it was a kind
gesture on the airport. I totally understand later that it

(16:43):
was probably later that it would definitely later that evening.
I remember waking up now, and it's not like all
of this happened. Nothing in my life that has happened
out of the ordinary or that was extraordinary happened consecutively.
This is all spread out through years of my life,

(17:04):
but it's still pretty wild. Nonetheless, I remember waking up
this it was autumn time around that time, because I
remember there were no or very little leaves on the
tree that set out front. My bunk bed was situated.
We've got two windows in our bedroom. My bunk bed

(17:24):
was situated on the window that set to the farthest
corner of the house, on the front of the house.
I was awoken by a light. I'm a very light sleeper.
Typically I would have to be the one to listen
for my brother if he needed help. That just trained
me to be a light sleeper. Lights. I remember seeing lights.

(17:45):
I got down, I looked out of the window and
across the street there was what I describe as a craft.
So the neighbor across the street where this family lived
had an old astro van, so it was a very
square bodied van. Two windows in the back, you know,

(18:08):
hinge doors, the double doors. The craft itself was pretty
dark in color. The only thing I could really make
out were the lights that were coming from the windows.
But this craft appeared to be almost like the classic
saucer shaped craft, and that there were lights that cut

(18:32):
There were there were three portions, a small portion on
the top, a small portion on the bottom, and a
larger football shaped portion in the middle. I would the windows.
Windows on the bottom, windows in the middle, two windows
on top, lights coming from very dim lights up top,

(18:56):
bright lights from the middle, bright lights from the bottom.
But again the craft itself was very dark. The light
was mainly coming from what I could see illuminated in
the ground, the porch, the van itself, and it was
probably it was above more above the van, but definitely

(19:21):
above the house, so it'd say probably twenty feet in
the air. It was probably the driveway, I would say
is probably eight foot wide, so I would estimate that
the craft itself was probably twenty foot wide. At that
time seeing it, I just remember kind of being frozen

(19:42):
because I got down out of my bunk and looked
out of that next window. I don't know if I
had said that or not, but I looked out of
the window next to it. There's two windows next to
each other, and I looked out of the window next
to where the bunk was located. If it just struck
me and there was no words, but I got an

(20:05):
overwhelming sense that it was okay and to lay back
down and go back to sleep again. No words were said,
only only the feeling that was instantaneous that it was okay.
For a long time, I wondered if this was a dream,

(20:28):
and I just had a very vivid dream and that
was it.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
You know.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
The next day I had brought it up to my mother.
See's classic, mom, it's just a dream, don't worry about it.
But it always stuck with me, and it's always came back,
you know, flared up from time to time. As I
get older, I just kind of stopped talking about it.

(20:54):
Later on in my life, I experienced some things though
that I now no longer think it was a dream.
I do believe it happened. I don't know why it happened,
but it happened. So Flashboard till later in life with
some other out of the ordinary things that occurred. My

(21:18):
daughter was My first daughter was born in twenty twelve.
Second daughter was born in twenty thirteen. I decided to
purchase a nice camera at that point in time, just
to take photos. I've always loved taking photos, even with
the old digital little digital cameras, but decided to buy
a nice Nikon D thirty two hundred. Camera came with

(21:40):
two lenses. It came with a close up lens that
I believe was fifty five I don't know exactly how
you rate those. I'm not a camera talk I don't
know how you say. I'm not an avid person that
takes pictures all the time and knows the ins and
outs of cameras. But I just know I like to
have something to snap pictures with and that the pictures

(22:01):
look good. So I had what I assume a fifty
five millimeter smaller lens, and then one that would zoom
up to two hundred millimeters and in this situation, we
were headed to the zoo. So we're gonna go to
the zoo, have a nice outing, take some pictures of
the kids, take some pictures of animals, just play around

(22:22):
and on the way. So we were going to the
Cincinnati Zoo. On the way, there's cemetery that you can
see from the highway. It's a pretty large cemetery, and honestly,
I don't know the name of it. I should do
more research and get the exact name, but I just thought,
as we're driving by, it would be fun to snap

(22:44):
some photos. So at this point in time, I snapped
some photos. I've got the larger lens on, just taking pictures.
You know, beautiful history there, probably, I mean definitely. The
gravestones and the works of art are phenomenal. I mean
it's history. You know, anything historic to me just resonates

(23:07):
with information of days past. So later on that evening
we go to the zoo. We have a wonderful day.
By the way, come home and I'm going through the
photos and I'm starting to zoom in and see exactly
the clarity I can get that far away because we
were we were pretty good distance off the road. I'm

(23:28):
compared to the hill side that I had taken this
this photo, these photos of zooming in to look at
some of the gravestones and things like that. There is
brush along the background, and within the brush there is
what looks to be this the top portion of a

(23:50):
of a face. But it's not. Nobody's there. It's not
like I took a picture of somebody standing in the cemetery.
The cemetery was empty when I took the photo. The
top portion of this face is see through, but you
can definitely make an outline of said face. The window

(24:12):
was down, definitely was not a reflection of anything. Yeah,
the windows, it's hard to get a good clear picture
with the windows up. I do pay attention to detail
when it things like that, but it just really struck me.
I was like, Okay, this is weird. And I was like,
maybe this is just me. Maybe this is just you know,

(24:33):
the way the brush is, the way it's settled. I've
showed multiple people since then, though, and multiple people feel
the same in that it looks like the upper portion
of a man's face. You can see a nose, you
can see a brow line, you can see ahead like
the beginning of the forehead, towards the back. Just really

(24:56):
kind of shocking. Caught me off guard with that one. Up.
Can't say I've ever taken a picture of anything else again,
and I wasn't good. I would say we were probably
half a mile off the road. It was on of
this hillside of these graves, so it was a good
amount of way, but enough to where it was a

(25:18):
clear day that you could see if people were walking
in the graveyard, and definitely nobody was there. I have
pictures after that because I did a quick burst, not
every picture, just the one picture basically hasn't And this
is before I got this on a deal. This would
probably have been twenty fourteen, but this is before AI

(25:43):
was in the cameras like they are now. This was
no filter, you know, there were no filters on this
camera or anything like that. It was just a quick burst,
you know, high aperture, snap, snap, snap, kind of shocking.
Fast forward to years after dreams I have. I've had

(26:04):
some strange dreams in my life. A few of them
stand out, but this one really stands out. So years past,
I'm no longer with the mother of my girls. I
am now in a new relationship. In this relationship, we

(26:24):
had a young child, a young boy, and then my
wife had her son from a previous relationship. He's older
in his teenage years. Me and his dad. At first
it was it was kind of rocky. I'm the type
that I want to involve. The bigger the family, the better.

(26:45):
I don't want to I'm not here to put anybody down.
Only here for love, you know, And if I can
include everybody in that, I'm going. I just want family
to be accepted and to be better for the kids, period.
Every Body all in for the same meaning. And we

(27:06):
got pretty close. We actually shared stories. He also had
a Darnelle was his name, that called him d. He
had an experience actually here in Fairborn now Fairborn obviously
right Pat you know, his father also worked at right Pad,
but he had an experience as a teenager with also

(27:28):
a craft or a sighting that he had in downtown Fairborn.
We exchanged those stories, and that's not a story I
tell everybody, but that's a story I felt inclined to
tell him. We had a lot of the same likes.
He's just older than I was, you know, But we
shared those stories. We ended up really d unfortunately got

(27:52):
to the point he had kidney disease, and his kidney
started to shut down health wise, he started to decline. Actually,
unfortunately he lost his legs due to some issues, and
it kind of went downhill from there. Now, this is where,
like even when I told him about my story of

(28:14):
my craft sighting, it was this is where everything really turned.
I was like, Okay, that for sure happened, because this
happened as well. At this point in time, I'm working
second shift. My wife was working third shift. So she
comes home and she's upset and she's visibly shaken. I'm like,

(28:36):
I'd wake up out of bed. What's up, what's going on?
She tells me that they unfortunately found my step son's
father to see se had died in his sleep. The
crazy thing was is that that night I had two
dreams that involved him. One of them I don't believe
was a dream. One of them I believe was him

(28:58):
trying to contact me. Honestly. We lived in a small apartment,
two bedroom apartment town home. Honestly, we were upstairs. My
son is so small that my youngest son had a
bed next to our bed. You know, it was that
kind of situation. And in that first appearance or memory

(29:19):
or dream, whatever you want to call it. Dream like
state that I was in. I could see, but he
was all read. His entire body was red and d
Towards the end of his life he ended up in
a wheelchair, not very talkative, not the life of the
party like he had used to be. But in this dream,
he was back to his old old self, you know,

(29:41):
very de love to talk, very boisterous. You know, he
was all read and he was yelling to me, but
I couldn't tell what. And it was very quick. I mean,
it's not like it's a dream that lasted long. It was,
but that's what I remember. I kind of woke up
even when that happened, but kind of shook it off,
fell back sleep. And then the dream I had was

(30:03):
that there was a couch. It was like an apartment,
but not my apartment, and there was a couch and
there was a table, and it was kind of an
open concept to where it was a small kitchen that
transitioned into a living room, and there was a couch
in that living room, and I was sitting at the
kitchen table, and slowly people started to come in and

(30:28):
sit on the couch. In the dream, I kind of questioned,
it was, what's everybody doing here for? And there's people
I didn't know either, But the message they had was
that he was gone. He was in the hospital, and
he was gone, is what my dream said. Now, Granteddie
didn't go to the hospital, and unfortunately he passed. I

(30:51):
would rather pass away at home where he was comfortable
than to be in a hospital in that kind of
end of his life. We thoroughly, you know, enjoyed spending
time with him towards the end of his life. We
would go out as a family, We would go out
to eat, things like that. So for him to pass
away at home is probably the best case scenario when

(31:14):
it came down to it. But that's what this dream
told me, and I just kind of shook it off,
and then I fell back asleep. I woke up momentarily,
then fell back asleep again, and then only for you
know a little while later for my wife to come
in upset because of what had happened. And that really
just that hit me hard, you know, And by this

(31:37):
point in time in my life, I had lost my brother.
You know, my brother lived until he was twenty years old.
I was twenty three when he passed. We experiencing that changes,
especially somebody that grew up seeing the struggle of somebody
else that became immobile, that couldn't get around on their own,

(31:59):
And I mean the ins and outs of taking care
of somebody like that. That's always landed home with me.
That's why I'm I'm very forthgiving in my time when
it comes to help for people, and especially people that
have disabilities of any nature. I will bend over backwards,
you know, if if somebody needs help. And I felt

(32:20):
the same with d because nobody you never want to
see anybody go through that and to to have their
life in that way. But that dream right there really
kind of landed home that maybe there I already knew
there was a lot more to life just from those
past experiences, but that started to tie everything together.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
It's time.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
It's the x x X and now here we are
and I'm still having dreams like that that will set
up essentially the next day, almost like pre cognitive dreams

(33:49):
that I will have conversations with people that rhyme with
the dream that I had. Things will pop up from
those dreams and they It might seem strange when I
have the dream, but once I have the conversation, it
seems all too legit, you know, especially with work and
there's only there's one other guy with me at work,

(34:11):
and it's usually I think we kind of sync up
over time, but it'll be things that he says that
just you know, I'm like, hey, I just I had
the dream last night, like this is deja vu. And
I'm also an experiencer of deja vu. I would say
often honestly, sometimes it's six months down the line that

(34:33):
I'll have just just flashback, I've done this, I've seen
this in a dream. It happened yesterday in a hallway.
So I work at school. We're dragging everything out of
the rooms right now to really do deep cleans on
these rooms to get it ready for the next school year,
and walking down the hallway, I seen everything out, I
seen the lights the way they were, and I instantly

(34:55):
remembered six months ago I had this exact same dream,
same hallway, doing the same same thing. But it's instantaneous.
It's not like there's anything behind it, but it's just
like an instantaneous I've been here, I've seen this. So
this leads into now my really our family's next experience,

(35:16):
because now it's transcended me and it's went to my
younger son. Even I had noticed that my younger son,
he's seven years old now, had been taking a towel
and covering up the air conditioning register in the restroom,
and one day I just kind of asked him and said, hey, buddy, like,

(35:37):
what's going on? Why are we Why do we keep
covering this up? You know, we need to let the
air flow through. That's how we cool down the house.
And if it, you know, you cover this up, the
moisture will build up. Down there and we don't want
to get mold in our air ducts. And he goes, well,
because I've seen somebody, kind of was kind of shaken.

(35:59):
I was like, okay, what do you mean you've seen somebody?
And he goes, I, well, I seen people in the house,
And I said, when was this? Now? He's a very
independent child. He doesn't mind to get up on his own,
go to the restroom if he needs to, and I
get some water if he needs to. Occasionally maybe sneak
a snack or two that he's not supposed to. Yeah,

(36:20):
he's a kid. I'm not gonna you know, I'm not
gonna get too upset about it. But also his mom
still works third shift. It's his brother and I to
live here as well with him. This is the same house,
by the way, to which I had the experience with
the craft across the street and that I grew up in.
So he says he's seen people, and I was like, well,

(36:42):
can you describe it to me? And he describes. He says,
three people came out of the restroom. He said they
all white. They were wearing all white. He said, they
look like us to me, that means like human. Three
people one of them has what he describes as a

(37:02):
sun hat on he said, a picnic hat, but we've
kind of determined that it's a sun we think a
sun hat. But he said, all white shoes, gloves, all
of that. I didn't really press deep into it. I
kind of just said, oh, well, that's that's interesting, that's
very interesting. It's okay, though there's nobody that's here that

(37:26):
we've seen that I've seen, and you know, I think
we're okay, but I could you stop covering up? It's great?
And he goes, okay, yeah, yeah, and he kind of
shakes it off. Now granted this has been a year ago,
so he was six at the time. Since then, occasionally
it gets brought up, and he's every time I and

(37:49):
not not a lot. I would say maybe a handful,
maybe four or five times. He gets very serious remembers this,
and it's he's a very happy child, a lot of energy,
you know, go go go, But when this occurs, he
gets very serious and he's still is covering that to

(38:09):
this day. He's still occasionally will cover up that register
and I just can't he won't can't break them with it.
He said that they were about as tall as the doorway.
Doorway's seven foot tall. He said that there. I asked
if they were boys or girls, and he said, well,
there's nothing there. He's like, I don't know, there's no

(38:32):
form to the body, slender body, you know, just all white,
white hands white. He the way he described it was
gloves and shoes. And then just recently it was brought
up again to which I had asked, you know, well,
how long how long were they here for? Because he

(38:52):
kind of acted like they were here for a little while,
and he said that they just walked out of the
restroom into the hall and stood there for what he
assumes was an hour. Now, with kids, I don't know,
you know, sometimes minutes seem like ours, so I don't

(39:12):
actually know a time. He just remembers staying up and
checking out the door to see if they went away,
and he said he looked a few times and he
didn't go to sleep until they were gone. And really,
since that time, he's he wants to sleep with his
door shut. Now he doesn't like to open his door.

(39:36):
So I really don't know where that goes. I know,
nowadays there's so much in the in everything, especially now
with disclosure and things of that nature, but it definitely
shook him, and whether it was a dream or not,
his consciousness is doing a lot like mine, I feel like,

(40:00):
and registering it as a real event that he experienced completely.
And that's the main bulk of my experiences and now
his experiences as well. You know, It's something that we
don't disdain from well, we also don't nurture necessarily. We

(40:21):
don't want to lean in it too deeply, but we
also don't want to discount it. With the world in
which we live now, with so much information and so
many things going on, I find it hard to completely
discount anything. But that is that is my full story
for the most part, and my full you know, array

(40:42):
of encounters that I've had over time.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
I would say thank you for sharing all that, Nick, Gosh,
that is interesting.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
It's a lot. I know. It's definitely odd, you know.
But at the same time, again, with all the information
that's out there now and and really just information compounding,
it seems you know, constantly people at work describe me
as a very I wouldn't say straight lace, I wouldn't

(41:10):
say serious person, but I'm always there to help, you know.
I work at elementary school. We have over a thousand
kids in our building. That's just second through fifth grade.
I one hundred adults in there as well on top
of that, so there's a lot of souls in one building.
And I'm a head custodian, so I'm there for any emergencies,

(41:31):
you know, any cleanup, taking care of building operations, you
name it. Everybody. I think I would say everybody likes me.
I help everybody out. I never say no for the
most part, but I think if people described me, they
would say, he's a everyday kind of guy that just
wants to do good for the world and to see

(41:53):
people prosper and to be as positive as possible. It's
the best way I can describe myself and what I
feel like. Others say as.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Well, you know, well you're Nick Freu and Freu there.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
I try when I said that earlier, that I you know,
I live up to my name. That's it really doesn't
mean a lot to me to carry names such as that,
you know, and to make sure that it you know,
I do what it says.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
And a thousand kids, you deserve a medal.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Oh it's wild. I wouldn't I love it though, you know,
I wouldn't trade it for the world. You know, I
know there's a million jobs out there that somebody can do,
and I know it doesn't pay the greatest. And actually
it's even farther away now. So we lived when I
started this job, I was close to twenty minutes away.
Now that unfortunately, my mother passed away during COVID That

(42:44):
was a whole situation within its own, but we had
moved back into the house that we've had in the
family ever since, you know her. Actually this house was
purchased by my grandfather's adopted mother. So this house, there's

(43:04):
been one family that's owned this house since it was
built in nineteen fifty six. You know, went from my
great grandmother to my grandfather's. Eventually my grandfather and grandmother
divorced and then you know, it just went from there.
My parents purchased it, and then after my mother passed away,

(43:25):
we moved in and we've had it ever since, for
probably the last four four and a half years. So
now I'm almost an hour away from work. I've had
other job offers at schools that are closer, but there's
something special about that school and about the community that's
there and behind that school, and I really I wouldn't

(43:47):
trade it for anything. You know that school gives me
meaning purpose, I would say, And it's a great workout too.
That many people in the constant go go go, you know,
you were always burning calories. So I look at it
as a win win.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
If you love the place. It was a little bit
of distance. It's job satisfaction, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah, truly, truly in a world of today where you
see a lot of people that don't have that, it's
easy to be taught to be negative. I feel like
it's the easy route out is to gripe or mope
about something. But if you could be happy at your job,
And honestly, I learned that from my mom. You know
my mom. I grew up as a Toys r US

(44:29):
kid through and through. You know, here in America we
had toys r Us. I don't know if you guys
had that where you grew up. Toys r Us for
us was it was a large toy store, big box
toy store. And since my mom was a working working
class mom, you know, and didn't want us to be
here causing a ruckus while dad was asleep, you know,
I would go summers, we would go to work with mom,

(44:52):
So I played. I got to play all day, I
got to help out, I got to see the work
side of it. But I also got to see how
people were happy when they came in there, that the
workers were happy to make people happy. And that's something
that's always been passed down through my family. You know.
When my grandfather passed away, even he had the line

(45:13):
was probably two miles long at the viewing, but he
just enjoyed seeing people be happy and be positive. And
I think it's got to start somewhere, and it's good
that it starts with me. You know, kids get to
see that not everybody gets to have the high dollar jobs,
you know, things like that. These kids get to see

(45:34):
that I might just be a custodian and I might
just be cleaning up after everybody, but I've got a
smile on my face and that even in hard times,
you can still be positive and move forward. And it's
important to teach and start on the right foot versus nagnagnag.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
You're right though, your kids will learn this surround you
see this, that's what it's all about. It's going to
start from somewhere.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Yeah, I totally agree.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Well, you've had so many interesting encounters and you're very
down to work. That's what I love about this show.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
I appreciate you letting me have this time to share
those experiences. Again. I believe that all information can you
could take something from it and you can learn from it.
And I think that's what we're doing now, you know,
I think that's today. Especially with this kind of this
magical element that you know is seems to be entangled

(46:34):
within reality, you really start to see it shine through.
And it means a lot to me to get to
actually get out and actually share my experiences to more
than just whether it's immediate family or very immediate It's
not like I go around telling everybody about these things,
but there are enough that it really has made a

(46:57):
profound effect on who I am. I am in the
decisions that I make in life and how I carry myself.
You know, all of that had to be into the mix.
You know, when you're making a cake or anything of
that nature, it takes multiple ingredients. You know, it's not
just an easy here it is here you go. You know,

(47:18):
it takes a little bit of magic and a little
bit of love in order to make these things, and
to make it, you know, experience something that is beautiful
and that tastes good in the end, you know, you've
got to have it all. I appreciate you for what
you do and letting me get to voice, you know,
my experiences and my thoughts as well.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
I think it's great. For a start, we're hearing these
experiences that we may never never hear, you know, unless
you're in like maybe a family circle, you might hear
of them. But a lot of these accounts they go
on heard or chance for people to, you know, to
get these stories out there, especially if you had them
on your mind for years and you don't really you
don't have any answers, because it gets you off your
chest and in turn people you could have similar experiences

(48:02):
and also un answered questions.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah. Oh, to realize that we all can relate in
some way, shape or form. You know. I live I
live in an area in Dayton that is not it's
not the nicest area, you know, it's kind of it's
a very it's become a very low class, high crime
sort of area. Over time, I've watched it turn into this.

(48:25):
It's still a beautiful area. It's still a beautiful place.
Nothing that I'm afraid to necessarily walk around in but
I also know how to interact with people. But I
see so many people that just they have something that
they want to share, but they don't know how to
share it. They don't know how to relate, and you
see it get trapped and what it can do that

(48:46):
can build up. It's compounding information that can overload one system,
especially today with as much information that's out there, you know,
twenty four to seven, it's constantly being bombarded through social
media and things like that. To share these lessons though,
and these different things and experiences I think really does help,

(49:08):
you know, as a kid in high school, kind of
a sad note, we got to do one of the
It was the coolest thing for us, but it was
the tenth anniversary at that point in time of Theirwandan genocide,
so very sad thing. Hundreds of thousands of people unfortunately
lost their lives in this civil war that really goes

(49:32):
look quite literally tribal of two factions of people and on.
For the tenth anniversary, we as a school and it
was again a select few got to have conference satellite
conference calls. So they had a few schools throughout America
that were chosen. I went to an arts school here

(49:53):
in Dayton. I went to Stuivers and it's a school
for the arts that it's a what we consider a
magnet school. You have to be there for your artistic endeavor.
Mine was music, so I was there for music within
our science class. Actually, our science teacher put this together
to where she got us selected as one of those schools.

(50:15):
So we got to experience talking to kids in a
different continent, much like we're doing now. You know, the
magic of technology nowadays, it can be very wonderful, but
we got to hear their experiences because they were also
our age at that time, so when this happened, they
were you know, probably the ages ranged from twelve to eighteen,

(50:39):
so you're talking about people that were children that had
no sort of say in what happened and had to
see some of the most atrocious things and experience some
of the most heartbreaking things, and it really humbled us,
you know, as a school and as a group that
got to be a part of that. But it's good

(51:01):
to still pass along that information, to pass along those stories,
no matter how heartbreaking they may be, it's still something
that we can learn as a culture and really praise
up and we can be ready if something else does
want to say hello, we've got to be We're no
better as our weakest link. So we've got to grow

(51:24):
up as a culture and as a group of people.
You know, and I love this format for this too.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
And what you're doing with your son, you know, you're
you're listening to him. You're not so much putting all
this stuff in front of him and say, hey was
it this? Was it that you're listening to him?

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah? You know, I think a lot of it's very
important that you listen, especially to your kids, because they're
absorbing the media that they they're into. They're seeing things
that we probably don't understand that we couldn't comprehend at
their age. They are to another level. But now even
the stuff that I think that we watched growing up

(52:03):
and now hearing and watching some of it come true,
Like you know it's talked about with your Star Trek
and things like that, and well look at where now
you know we have colms. It's right here in our poem.
We have scanners that can scan our body and tell
us what's wrong. There's little truths I feel like hidden
in everything. So if you listen enough, if you learn

(52:27):
to listen. You can hear those truths and you can
teach somebody how to absorb them properly. That's very important,
I think, especially for these kids.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
I couldn't agree more. And when did that experience with
the people coming out of the restroom happen?

Speaker 1 (52:44):
It was about a year ago, I would say. We've
probably it's been about four or five times that it's
been brought up, but it's been close to a year.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Ago, relatively recent. Yeah, and he's the kind of kid
that if it was to happen again or something similar,
you'd be the first one comes to.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
I would like to think. So, yeah, I'm very open.
Like you said, it's very important that you can show
people you can listen. But he knows, he knows me.
I'm very keen to teach the kids what are like,
especially my kid, what's entertainment, what it means to be entertained,
and that not everything you see is exactly how it is.

(53:25):
But yeah, he would definitely come to me and ask
if if something you know, was up and he experienced something.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Again, if he does again or even mention something to
certainly do let us know that is interesting and do
you think it could be something that may be something
to do with the house.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
You know, I wondered. I'm not really sure, to be honest,
you know, there is I've heard said that trauma can
tend to flare up certain events and things like that.
I know, there's so much speculation out there about what
this sort of phenomenon is, where it originates from. I

(54:05):
know Dayton has been a place that has been rooted
in that phenomenon, going back to Roswell. I think that
even has to do with some of the development that
happened in Dayton back then. Dayton had a very integral
part in the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima in Nagasaki.

(54:30):
The Dayton Project was a huge part of that development,
and they were doing some experiments right before Roswell, before
allegedly the crafts were brought to Dayton, to right Patterson
right Field at that time. And I kind of wonder
if maybe that some areas I feel like are charged

(54:51):
with energy, with certain types of energy, and maybe that's
to do with how history has affected time and the
ripple and the waves that it causes. You know, maybe
it has something to do with the house. Maybe it
has something to do with with the nature you know,
of people. Trauma though, again is something that this house

(55:15):
has unfortunately been a part of. But even through that
trauma to try to have the best. Again, I'm a
very positive person. I try to always look at everything,
each side of the light, each side of the shadow,
but try to take the best that I can out
of what happens, you know, And maybe it has to
do with that. Yeah, I don't really know, honestly, though

(55:37):
I don't know if I ever will. I think life
is much more complicated than we tend to think that
it is, that that we might just know the tip
of the iceberg, you know, when it really comes down
to it, and in the vastness of the universe and
of space, who really knows. I don't think anybody will,

(55:58):
not one person will ever know exactly, you know. Hopefully
we get closer to knowing a little bit more, to
making it understand, you know, making us understand a little more.
But only time will tell that, I guess, honestly.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Any time a tell Yeah, literally the tip to the iceberg.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Isn't it? What we know? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (56:17):
The world and life and universe is certainly quite complex.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Very complex.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
You are so close to, right, Patterson, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Very close, very very close. Yeah, it's it's maybe fifteen
twenty minutes away from the house. Spent a lot of
time as a kid getting to go to the museum,
the Air Force Museum they have over there, watched it
really blow up from you know, one building to multiple hangars.
The history that's packed into just that alone is amazing.

(56:48):
You could spend all day there easily, totally easily. And
you can see though. That's what I really love about
this town. My favorite part. There's times where I just
need to clear my head. And there's a spot I
like to go to in Dayton that sits at the
top of a hill on on our east side of Dayton,

(57:09):
and it's named Kittie Hawk. And when you see it
and you see the downtown Dayton from that perspective, you
really see what the Wright brothers saw as well, because
they were they kind of the west side of town,
not far from me as well, is where they had
their bike shops. That's where they developed flight. You see

(57:32):
what they were thinking from the vantage points that they
they had here in Dayton, in the Miami Valley, you know,
And it might be it might be that, and I
don't know, not a ton of people talk about you know,
we're coming from a generation that that our our parents'
generation was just maybe don't speak about it, you know,

(57:55):
let's let's keep it quiet, like we don't want people
to think we're creaty or anything like that. Now those
floodgates are literally open. And now that we hear that,
it's not so crazy that a multitude of people have
had these sorts of experiences. You hear all kinds of
crazy stories that wrap around Dayton with history, with people

(58:20):
with influences. The Bosnia Piece Accords went on here, I
mean that brought in that really changed a part of
the world. You know, for a while, it's a very
magical space in place, and it's just it. I've got
it all right here, right in this.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Gym, no one do you love living there? So there
was so much history in that area, just that area alone,
not just in in UFOs and Project Blue Book and
all that.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
But yeah, when I seen your post, literally a week
before that, you know, I just started to open up
to some people about this at at my school. A
week before I seen that post, I had thought, you know,
if I can talk to somebody about it. Time ever
occurred and something ever was thrown out there that I

(59:11):
totally would talk about it to somebody, and I happen
to see that post. It popped up as a random
thing in my ex which again I do not get
on often, and I happened to reply what I replied.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
This show, I mean, has been going for seven odd
years now, and it's just like this. It's just normal
people coming on sharing experiences.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
See, that's amazing, and it's such a nice place to
have that outlet. I greatly appreciate. Again, it's wonderful to
meet another Nick as interesting as you are. I love
hearing about your history as well. I mean, if you
ever want to talk, you know how to get a
hold of me.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
Indeed it will. And same goes for you. Thank you, Nick,
I really appreciate you coming on sharing that for our listeners.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Thank you. I appreciate you too.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
It has been wonderful to me a fellow Nick as well.
