devils. I also love that we didn't really like talk about it. Yeah. We didn't uh con confer with each other
about what we were going to do. We just said like dress up like the devil and then Ash walked into the room and said
Yep. I walked into the room and I said the devil is alive. She did can confirm. And then she walked in the room with
blood dripping down her face and I said that's about right. We said this works. I said that's my sister. Yeah. We were
going to do a hot priest but we thought this would be more fun. Yeah. So cuz I saw some people be like come on do hot

Um All right. You're welcome. You're welcome. Let's see. Okay. So, where am I starting? At the beginning. At the
beginning is a great place to start. Let's go with demon, sleep paralysis, mimic. It's
crazy out here. It is crazy out here. Hey ladies, I've attached a 14 points double space pedify for your reading
pleasure. I have three stories. Two about sleep paralysis. Maybe one is a demon and one about a mimic. Enjoy.
Mimics scare the [ __ ] out of me. Mimics actually scare the [ __ ] out of me as
well. Oh, yeah. Cuz you have one. Yeah. Oh, I do. You're right. Mhm. [ __ ] I know. [ __ ]
All right. Hi y'all. My name is Cody. Feel free to use it. Hi Cody. Hi Cody. I was about to say fricka freicka slim
shady. There you go. I like that. But fre I love you guys so much. I love you Cody. Love. I love you. I love you. Uh I
started listening at the beginning of 2024 and have since caught up and I'm relisting to old episodes. That's
actually incredibly impressive. That is impressive. That's wild. Yeah. It's currently April 2025 for reference. I
broke my arm last March and was on leave for three months, so I had plenty of free time to listen to you guys. So,
thanks for keeping me company during that incredibly long recovery period. You betcha. I also listen to you all
during uh all day during work, on my way to and from work, and most times while I'm making dinner. It never fails
whenever my husband comes into the kitchen, you happen to be talking about something wildly disturbing, and he
questions my sanity for listening to such things with enjoyment. That happens a lot. I've even gotten my 13-year-old
stepson and 10-year-old nephew into you guys. Mostly, they love listener tales and request it whenever we get in the
vehicle. Keep being your awesome selves. Thank you. Love you. We will. Uh P. Selena, I read The Butcher and the Ren
in two days. It was so good. Thank you. That's amazing game. I'm currently waiting for the second one to be
delivered so I can read that one. Boom. Ash, you in the earlier episodes remind me so much of myself when I was also in
my early 20s. I think we're close to the same age. I just turned 30 on St. Patty's Day, 2025. You ladies are the
best. Never change. You're [ __ ] the best. You're really nice. Okay, on to the story now. I have a couple of
stories to tell. The first one being the time I had sleep paralysis or maybe a bad nightmare or maybe a real diamond.
You decide. My husband's sleep paralysis story and my sister-in-law's mimic story. So, hold on to your butts because
these are crazy. I currently live in my childhood home in North Dakota with my husband and two
children. It is a 121-year-old schoolhouse in the country. Oh, that's cool and creepy. I'm already for this. I
like it. Now, I've lived here almost my entire 30 years of being alive. And while I've had some spooky dreams and
felt uncomfortable in certain rooms, mainly in the finished attic, nothing real crazy has happened here paranormal
wise. My friends always told me in high school they were sure it was haunted, but I think they just thought that due
to the age and the fact that it was an old school. Fun fact, my piano teacher from middle/h high school actually
taught here when it was a school. My personal feeling is I have lived here this long and nothing bad has happened.
So if there are ghosts here, they must be nice. Yeah, there you go. The primary bedroom is currently in the basement.
While basements often get a bad rep, I've never felt uncomfortable down there. Unless I just finished watching a
scary movie in bed and have to get up to pee. I feel uncomfortable everywhere if
I just watched a scary movie and I have to get up and pee. Same. Now, even though the house is 121 years old, it's
very modern appearing as far as decor and whatnot. Anyway, let me set the scene. I slept with my side of the bed
closest to the door. And typically, I slept on my stomach with my head facing away from the door. How do people do
that? Do you sleep on your stomach? No, I'm I'm a side sleeper, sometimes a back
sleeper. Me, too. Mhm. Uh, at this time roughly 2 years ago, we had my almost three-year-old daughter in
our room in her own bed, probably about 20 ft from our bed. It's a very spacious
room. As most children do, they often scared the [ __ ] out of me in the middle of the night by tapping me lightly. I
think we just had a demon, by the way. I heard that. Um, we're talking about tapping and something tapped on the
door. Or is it John? It's a demon. I think it's Well, it's John or it's a demon. Okay.
It's a Jamon. It's a Jamon. It's a Dawn or a Jamon. I like Jam. I like J. Jam. All right. That's what it
is. It's a It's a Jamon. All right. So, as most children do, she often scared the [ __ ] out of me in the middle of the
night by tapping me lightly or just staring at me until I turned over and saw her because she wanted to crawl into
bed with us. Your kids love to do that when they sleep over my house. They don't wake me up. Actually, no. They
used to. So when it was the two oldest that would come sleep over, they'd be like, "Ty titty." Now they send the
youngest in and she just stares at me until I wake up. Yep. She the youngest will come up to me in the middle of the
night if she has like a bad dream or something and she always comes to my side of the bed no matter what. They
come to mama's side of the bed. It's just always and like John is the first line of defense, but somehow they just
go right around. Same with Drew. Yeah. Always. So, and she just gets right in my face and goes,
"Mama, mama." Until I wake up and I'm like, she's like right there. It's so scary. Like, hi. Yeah. Last time they
slept over, I woke up and they were just like, "Boom." Yeah. They are little diamonds. Hey, girl. They also when they
come downstairs, they come they creep downstairs like if they come down to like tell us they need water or
something like that or a bad dream and they'll creep around the corner and always just pop their head a little bit
out so we don't hear them coming and then I just hear mama. mama. And it's like like every single time I'm like,
you have taken years off of my life, girl. That's what they're here for. But damn. All right. So that's what that's
what this child's doing. Um so she wanted to crawl in bed with us. This particular night was no different. I
could hear the little footsteps walking towards me like they did most nights, but then I realized she was already in
my bed, so those footsteps couldn't be her. That's upsetting. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. I don't
like that. I got an overwhelming sense of dread and chose not to turn my head as I was not about to face whatever the
[ __ ] just shuffled its spooky ass over to me. Yeah, I can't say I blame you. As
I lay there in fear, this thing started petting my [ __ ] head. No, all I have to say is blinks. No, you
read that right. This thing was running its hand down my hair like one would do to their child if they were resting
their head on you. Did you feel calm or really upset? I don't like this at all. Then it started talking. Then it started
talking but in a childlike voice that sounded just like my daughter. Oh, [ __ ] that. Good morning, Cody. Turn your
head, Cody. Look at me, Cody. [ __ ] My ass said, "Hell [ __ ] no, buddy. These eyes may as well not even
be in here because I will not be looking at that shit." I then felt it tighten its hand around my head. Not hard, but
just grabbing it instead of touching like before. And I swear to God, this thing tried to get me to turn my head
towards it. I would have fist. So, it literally was like grabbed the head to like turn it crucifix to the eye. I
would have literally fist fought this thing. I hate this. So like the the visual of this is just nothing I want to
experience. That's always my biggest fear when we go to haunted houses because I walk through like this when
I'm scared. Oh, me too. And then I'm like, "Oh no." And you do the same thing. I think that would h like I'd be
scared and I would just pummel this thing. No. 100%. I'm constantly like this in a haunted house and I'm like
like every time something happens like I'm just like Luckily, we've never been kicked out. No. Never hit a haunt
worker. Never. Never. We I've never done it. No. Neither have I. I will I and I never will. I just always I'm like, uh,
don't don't even touch haunt workers. Don't do that. They're great because you'll have to leave. We love haunt
workers. They don't touch you. Yeah, they don't touch you. These are good people. Supposed to be really No. Uh,
so, and that's an aside on haunt workers. Be nice to your haunt workers. It's like halfway to Halloween a little
bit. So, I think it's like actually halfway to Halloween, which is a holiday in my mind. Is it? Yeah. Tik Tok told me
it was. Um I've been So I've been getting all these um Tik Toks of Halfway to Halloween or Summerween. Yeah, it was
a long night. Longer than it seems. Every single one. I love it. It's the best. And I'm just
like, "Oh, I am aching for haunted houses again." Or the one that's like aching.
Yes. Oh my god. Yes. I love that one. I love it. I can't Sorry. I can't wait for
the cookies. Oh, the cookies. The little cookies. Pumpkin cookies. Pumpkin and ghost cookies. [ __ ] yeah. Yeah. [ __ ]
you. In my mugs. I have so many good Halloween mugs. I just need haunted and I need more haunted houses this year.
It's just it's a Every year we got to up it. Every year we got to get more. Uh so
yeah. So she she's having her head turned by this uh Damon. No thanks. Um thank God for good neck muscles because
my head stayed right where it was at that point. It felt like whatever this was got on my back and my entire body
cuz she's on her stomach. My entire body felt like it was being held down and I was unable to move
anything, not even my fingers. And then bam, I woke up drenched in sweat and breathing harder than I was when I gave
birth. Room was silent, void of creepy unknown beings, and my husband and daughter were sleeping peacefully next
to me. When I say I didn't sleep for weeks after this, I mean it. Yeah, I would not sleep for forever. I I'd still
never sleep. I had never experienced anything like this in my 28 years at the time of living. And thank God I haven't
experienced it since. I read that if you're touching someone while you you're asleep, you're less likely to have sleep
paralysis. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. So every night since I'm sure to be touching my husband, even
if it's just his my toe on his leg. We also have a cat who is 12 who sleeps on me every night. So I like to think that
is also saving me from happening again. What do you guys think? crazy sleep paralysis or demon who just wanted to
[ __ ] with me one time before descending into the depths of hell. Maybe it was just a wild nightmare. Whatever it was,
I sure hope it's one it's a oneanddone situation. I feel like sleep paralysis is real to an extent. I feel like
there's a different there. I agree. I feel like there's like a different I can't describe what's what I think sleep
paralysis actually is, but there's more to it to me. I think it's almost like not necessarily but almost like a
parallel parallel universe because the things I see when I have sleep paralysis and the things I feel are not they they
feel like something's wrong. They are not okay. They're not all right. Yeah. No, I get that. I've only had it like
once or twice maybe. I had it once and I remember it so vividly. Do you remember
how old I was when me and my mom drove to North Carolina with that guy? Oh yeah, you were young. Like six. Five or
six. Five or six. I remember that so distinctly. I got it in the car and I like felt like there was like a face in
the window and then um somebody like lifted me up by like my armpits and that's like a weird fear that I have
which is very funny. Oh, it's Well, it's it's unsettling. I hate it. Um that was
one and then I had another one when me and Drew were camping with his parents but like glamping in like a camper. I
woke up and I saw a woman standing at the end of the bed and I like literally could not move. Like when they say
paralysis Oh, it's legit paralysis. Straight up. And you want to scream. That shit's scary. It's really scary. It
like sets your like that room. Yeah. Like the room is the room. You're not in some weird dream version of your room.
Like it is your room. However set up before you went to bed, that is what it looks like. which makes me feel like
it's not a dream because whenever I dream like will you have a dream and you're like oh I'm in my house but like
it's not like in the dream you know you're in your house but it's not your actual house like there's different
things or it's warped somehow or but when you have sleep paralysis it is to a tea uh so the next story is about oh so
what do we think do we think this is sleep paralysis a demon a nightmare I think sleep paralysis plus demon equals
scary yeah I agree I think it's a little mix of the two yeah but I again like sleep paralysis. I think you went to
like another place. I think something happened in your room, but I don't know why. That's a good takeaway. You think
something happened? I think it a situation occurred. I think things went on. I think uh something went down. The
next story is about my husband and his couple episodes of sleep paralysis in this house. This was earlier in our
relationship, probably around 2016, and our room was upstairs in the room that was previously mine in high school and
is currently my stepson's room. Anyway, this room was one of those small rectangular openings or had one of those
small rectangular openings in the ceiling that would lead to the attic. We never used this as my parents built
stairs leading up to the attic when they finished it years prior. This creepy little door always freaked me the [ __ ]
out as a child and honestly still does as an adult, but that probably has something to do with the fact that it
leads to the attic, which again is the one room in the house that makes me mad uncomfortable. Oh no. Anywh who, after I
told my husband my little story from above, he told me that years ago he thinks maybe he had sleep paralysis.
Apparently, there were a few different nights where he would wake up and he would see a creepy black figure just
floating right under that creepy ass attic access. Oh, no. And he couldn't move. Then he would wake up. I'm sorry,
sir. You didn't think to mention this when it happened? Why the [ __ ] are you so nonchalant about a black figure
hanging out in the room paralyzing you? Although crazy, it's probably good he didn't tell me at the time as it would
have freaked me the [ __ ] out. Maybe it's due to the fact that the house he grew
up in with his mother and siblings was deaf haunted and he often saw the hatman in his closet at night. Not the hatman.
Not the hatman. No thank you. He gets a bad rap, but he should. But like he kind
of earns it. Scary. He does nothing to dispel that bad rap. No. Lastly, I wanted to add the story of the time my
sister-in-law had a mimic in her house and how she got rid of it. She gave me permission to share this story. She and
her husband recently closed on the fir on their first home at the end of 2024. Congratulations. So exciting for them
and their kids. Not to not too long after they moved in, weird [ __ ] started happening. First, she thought she heard
her husband say something from the other room. When she responded with what, he didn't respond back. So, she went to the
room where she thought he was and he was gaming with his headset on. When she asked what he said, he replied that he
didn't say anything. Then the same thing happened but with her daughter. She heard her daughter, 5 years old, call
for mommy on the stairs. Oh, [ __ ] the [ __ ] No. No. And so the kid's um room is in the basement. When my
sister-in-law peeked her head downstairs, no one was there. No. So she went down to her daughter's room and her
daughter was still passed out asleep snoring. I You got to burn the whole [ __ ] me up. You have to burn the entire
thing. I'm sorry if I hear the kids say my name and there's no kid to be found. No kid voices saying anything that
aren't related to actual kids. Get out of here. And a mimic or a demon mimicking a child's voice to me is so
[ __ ] chilling. That is just demonic and diabolical in a way I can't describe. It's like echoing in my head
now. Yeah, I don't like it at all. I hate it. The third incident was when she was laying in bed and heard her daughter
crying downstairs. She turned to her husband and asked what she was crying about, but he didn't hear anything. And
again, she checked and her daughter was sleeping. The last one she said she could likely chalk up to waking up from
a dream of her daughter crying since her husband didn't hear anything. The final
incident is the creepiest, though. The job my sister-in-law had at the time was open on Saturdays, so they had to rotate
working. This particular Saturday, she was the one scheduled to work until like noon, I believe. So, her husband and
kids were at home. Dad was in the living room. Kids were at the dining room table
eating. It was around 10:30, 11:00 a.m. At this point, my sister-in-law got a call from her husband asking why she
stopped by the house. She responded with, "I'm at work for another hour and a half. What are you talking about?" He
said the side door next to the kitchen slammed shut randomly. When he asked the kids who did that, her daughter said it
was mommy. She saw her mom leaving the house, but it was not her mother. I hate that. I have goosey goosey
bumpies. Lore. That was the final straw. My sister-in-law decided to sage the house. She has a friend who was able to
give her instructions and tell her exactly what to say as she saged. Her and her husband attempted to sage that
night, but every time she tried to light the sage, it wouldn't stay lit. She tried them multiple times to no
pro no avail. Let me add, she is no stranger to a lighter, so she knew what she was doing.
the way you just read your sister-in-law. Her husband decided to give it a try and he had no issues. They
saged the entire house and she said she instantly felt lighter and like whatever
she was following her that whatever was following her was gone. Now she had never heard of a mimic before, but
because I'm one spooky [ __ ] I immediately knew what it was and was like, "Fuck that girl. Please make sure
that [ __ ] is gone before I come over to you or send your daughter over to my house." Things have been quiet ever
since. Thank goodness. Also, let me insert her cute little side hustle. Oh, it's called prettylates.com where she
sells super cute glass cups. Check her out if you feel so inclined. I do feel so inclined. Feel inclined. I would
literally die if you read this on the pod. Listener tales are my absolute favorite episodes, especially to relist
to once I c once I catch up every week. My family and I are going on a cruise leaving from New Jersey in June 2025 and
are roadtpping our way back um way there and back from North Dakota. We plan to stay in Boston one of the nights and the
following day my stepson and I will be doing the Lizzy Bordon house tour. Oh, [ __ ] Oh, it's so good. It's so much
fun. We are so excited. I'm so glad my stepson 13 is a spooky weirdo like me since my husband is kind of eh when it
comes to these things. Anywh who, thanks for listening and keep it weird, but not
so weird that Take it away, Ash. Not so weird that that last tail periods happens. Yeah, not so weird that that
happens to me. Not so weird that that happens. Wait, before I forget, ask see if you can get Amber as your tour guide
if she still works. Yes, she's so good. She was our last tour guide and she was really funny and like took so much time
in each room with us telling us like way more than like we learned a lot the first time too, but we learned even more
with Amber as the She like hung out. She was so funny. She's hilarious. I loved Amber. Loved her. We were literally
like, "Do you just want to stay with us all night?" And like she stayed She stayed with us longer than she was going
to initially. Yeah, she was great on her. I love it. Love her. Thank you, Cody. That was a Those were crazy tales.
All right, my next one is Listener Tales. An EVP from Dad and a ghost with a shadow. Hey, weirdos. My name is
Bergen. That's a pretty name. And I've got two true tales for you. One that will make you cry in a goodish way. And
one that will make you delete your camera roll and save your house. Let's get into it. So, story number one. When
uh story number one, my dad's EVP recorder and the spookiest high ever. When I was 16, my dad passed away. I'm
sorry. Sorry. He was the sweetest, funniest dude, and he loved watching Ghost Hunters. But here's the kicker.
Me, too. He refused to watch Paranormal Activity because he was convinced it would get him possessed. Like, hard
pass. Absolutely not. I don't want demons in my house. Bergen kind of fear. I love that he will watch Ghost Hunters,
which is like actually hunt like going to connect with real ghosts in real haunted locations. But Paranormal
Activity, which is fictionalized. Nope. That's a no for me. Actually, no. I've never seen any of those movies and I
don't care to. Well, now we're going to make you watch. Yeah, I know you were going to, but that's the next Scream
series we're going to do. So, I'll watch Ghost Hunters like all day every day. Paranormal Activity actually scares me.
First and second Paranormal Activity are going to [ __ ] your world up. Yeah. I don't want them to because I enjoy
sleeping like so much. That's the next screen. Um, no, it's not. You already picked it. No, we're doing it after this
one. I'll kill you. Yeah. All right. Well, a few months before he died, he bought himself an EVP recorder. He was
so excited to try it out. And in true spooky timing fashion, the recorder didn't arrive until the day after he
passed away. Yeah, let that one marinate. Awful. That sucks. I'm sorry. That reminds me, what we should do while
we're doing this is turn on Ghost Tube. Oh yes, it's episode 666. We might as well see. We also have ghosties come.
Well, we only did that like once in this room with Sabrina. Yeah. And I feel like
this room is was Saburn. This room has some vibes. Let's see. My mom's sisters and I were all like, "Okay, universe.
What does it mean?" But grief hits hard and none of us could bring ourselves to mess with it. Two years later, I was 18
and living in a tiny little bungalow behind my parents house, vibing with the ghosts and pretending to be an adult.
One night, I thought, "Screw it. Let's do this." I busted out the EVP recorder and tried to contact my dad. I sat in
the dark talking to into this thing for like 30 minutes asking questions, begging for signs. Crickets, nothing.
Zip. I was about to give up, but then something in my gut said, "Try one more time and record it on your phone just in
case." So, I hit record and I said, "Can you say hello, Dad?" And then the most beautiful moment of my life. I heard a
clear, calm, totally not from this plane of existence. Hi. I froze. Full body goosebumps. Instant
tears. My soul left the chat. I just felt full body. I think she sent us the audio. She did. I'm going to play it. To
this day, every time I listen to that clip, I know it was him. It wasn't scary. It felt peaceful, comforting,
like he was saying, "Still here, kiddo." But also, what in the actual paranormal?
I've attached the the recording for you guys to listen to. Oh, we got to listen.
Oh my god. Yes. I didn't hear this. I didn't. I haven't heard it yet either. I'm turning my computer up like all the
way, so it might be very loud. Nicholas, what did that just say? Nicholas. What was your dad's name? Dude, if your
dad's name was Nicholas, I Oh, [ __ ] My I have straight up chills. Do you have it set to that voice?
I don't. Is that Is that like a choice you made? I'm not laughing at you, Spirit. I think it was. That was
genuinely terrifying. Scary. All right, I'm going to play this audio recording. Palette cleanser. That was
horrifying. Sorry, my gloves. Say hello, Dad. Oh my god. Oh, that was such a dad way of I don't
know why, but that was dad. No, it was it was that was just I was like, "Hi." Oh my god. I'm like covered. Can you see
my goosebumps in the Oh, I'm so happy that you have that. Oh my god. Wow. My chills are not going away right
now. I didn't think that was going to be as like I believed you, but I did not. They're not that clear. That's crazy.
And that like comforting. Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was so sweet. Hi. Oh, and you like I wonder if if it
sounded like his voice to you because it took like a little while for the energy
to kind of ramp up and then it was so clear. That Wow, Bergen. [ __ ] Bergen. That was crazy. That is incredible.
That's one of the clearest EVPs I've ever heard. That gave me a lot. All right, story number two. Damn [ __ ] Top
that. Now top that. Waverly Hills, murdery vibes and a literal ghost shadow. Oh [ __ ] Fast forward to another
great idea I had. Taking a sister's trip to Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. That sounds
amazing. That's fantastic. I'd like to take Let's go. Yeah, because nothing says family bonding like haunted
hallways and possible demonic attachments. I think we actually have mentioned with um Karen and Sabrina, we
we might want to do that together. A brother's trip. A ghost brother's cult and coven trip. Yeah. Well, we booked
the night tour because obviously it was several hours long and they only let you
use flashlights. at specific times. The rest of your time complete and utter darkness. Like I'm not shut me up. This
is great. Like I'm not even sure I have feet anymore. Kind of dark. Holy [ __ ] We made it to the top floor where they
kept the sick kids and where a nurse allegedly quote unquote committed suicide. But the tea is that she may
have been murdered by a doctor she was hooking up with. Very American horror story, minus the musical numbers. 100%.
Here's where it gets freaky. Before the god said anything, I started feeling super weird. My heart was racing, my
head was pounding, and I got this wave of anxiety, like I was about to go run a ghost marathon I didn't sign up for. I
leaned over to my sister, Bailey. Shout out to her because she's also a huge fan. Hi, Bailey. I love your name. Great
name. And whispered, "I don't like this. I want to leave." And then, like a bad punchline, the guide goes, "A lot of
people report feeling panic, nausea, dizziness, and chest pressure right here under where the nurse was found hanging.
Guess where I was standing? Yep. Directly underneath. I'd poop my pants. After that, we got to
wander around on our own. And there's a spot with a ball left out for a little ghost boy who's known to play. So,
naturally, my sisters and I tried to summon our inner spooky babysitters. Hell yeah. And gently kicked the ball
around the circle. At first, nothing. No creepy giggles, no phantom penalty kicks. But then we stopped, let the ball
settle in the middle of the circle, and watched it start to move on its own like
nobody touched it. No breeze, no explanation. That's the dream. Yes. Truly paranormal. What did it say?
Charming. Charming. That is charming. Oh, you you're taking it. I'm taking that. You really You said that was like
a blanched de like Oh, stop it. I'm taking that one. I'm dead. I I claim it. You said she said it's me. I'm charming.
That was so scary. I love how you're like, "Oh, the kid is charming." I'm like, you're like, "It's me, baby." Uh,
can you change the voice? Can you please change that so that I don't [ __ ] my pants? I'm going to cry. I kind of love
it. Of course you do. We're going to keep it for now. That was so charming of you. That's so scary. I jump. Did you
see the jump I did? I think we all did. God, this is fun. All right, it is. I know. I love a vibe like this. It's also
a perfect day for that. It's kind of spooky. a little spooky. So, uh, LA, no explanation. It just slowly rolled
across the floor like it had somewhere to be. We all looked at each other and said, "Did you see that?" No. Did you
actually see that? We were Did you hear that? Did you hear that? We were officially shook. After I got the bright
idea to pull out my phone, switch it to night mode, and take a billion rapid fire photos. Oh, hell yeah. I started
scrolling through the photos, and holy hell, y'all. In one of them, there's a clear little figure. You could see legs,
a small shadowy body, and the wildest part, it has a shadow. What the [ __ ] We were all
freaking out, but in the best way. It's probably one of the coolest and creepiest things I've ever captured.
I've attached a photo so you can see it for yourselves. If you don't mind, email us
and let us know if we can share the photo. Uh, let me let me know if you see what I saw or if I need to sage my
entire existence. Ash and Alolina, thank you for making this hilarious, spooky, and slightly unhinged community. You've
gotten me through grief, anxiety, and many late night cleaning sprees where I was 90% sure that something was watching
me. P.S. You can share the recording in the ghost picture. A real one. Creep it weird Bergen. I've also attached some
extra pictures, one with my sisters, my mom, myself, and my niece, and a spooky ghost tattoos that I adore. Uh, one of
her ghost tattoos is absolutely iconic. Her ghost tattoo has titties. Yes. It's hilarious. It's really good. Uh, let's
see. Oh, yep. That's clear as day. Oh, [ __ ] You can literally see. And look right there. It does have a shadow.
Shadow. Oh my god. That's one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen. Oh, what the
[ __ ] Ew. Damn. I'm going to put this away now. Um, yeah, we're going to share it. Don't worry. Yeah, we'll share that.
Um, so check out like the Instagram obviously. Bergen. Oh, Bergen. That is one of the clearest EVPs I've ever heard
and one of the clearest photos I've ever seen of spirit. Yeah, you really did. You really came through with that.
Bergen. Bergen. Bergen. Damn, that was crazy. That was wild. Let's see. Um, so there's Let's see. Should I
do those couple times my soul left my body at church camp? Yeah, it feels right. I would say so. Feels right. Uh,
hello my two favorite absolutely beautiful badass witchy girl bosses. Hi. I got you. Thank you. Your name is
Zana. I love that name. That's really pretty. And we can use the name party. Um, I've been listening to you two for
about a year courtesy of my amazing father for putting me on to y'all's podcast. Thanks, Santa's dad. I love
that. Some of my favorite memories are the two of us going on hikes together while listening to your podcast and me
being seriously freaked the [ __ ] out because he somehow always chooses the murder in the woods episodes.
Questionable choice, but hey, it's part of the fun of being hella paranoid and enjoying nature. Fresh air is for dead
people. It is. I will absolutely freak the [ __ ] out if you use my story for your listener tales episode. Here's a
double space. I've gone to a church camp on the Grand Ma Is it the Grand Mesa? Messa,
I'm not great culture. Michael, amazing. Really good. Nailed it. Uh, we have our
own special demon named Mikey. Uh, so I've gone to a church camp on the Grand Mesa almost every year for the past four
or five years. It's truly a beautiful place in the summer. The lake is such a beautiful pristine teal color and it's
always the perfect temperature. The only thing that gives you a slight sense of foroding is how dark it gets at night.
And that tends to remind you how you're in the middle of [ __ ] nowhere. And if there just happens to be some random ass
axe murder, your chances of survival are slim to none. Yeah. I mean, like the axe
murder situation probably won't happen. But if it did, again, slim to none. Maybe not for the other people, but I
don't [ __ ] I don't [ __ ] with the dark or the woods at night, so I could probably
get away. But when I say it gets dark in the middle of nowhere in Colorado, I mean it gets dark. It does. You see, you
know, keep that in mind because in the next stories that is crucial to know. Anyway, moving on. This particular year,
there wasn't very many people signed up for that camp. So, we all ended up staying in the same room on the second
floor of the lodge, which was typically used by the camp staff. Normally, the campers would stay in one of the many
cabins on the 5-ish acres of land that the cab camp was on. this lodge that we stayed in. Creepy as [ __ ] [ __ ]
sinister vibe. You had to climb this I love that you said that. You had to climb the little spiral staircase to the
attic to use the bathroom. Whereas if we stayed in the cabins, we would have to go outside to walk the however many
yards to the bathroom hall, which isn't really much better. But the bathroom in the attic was not for me. I still used
it, but like the entire lodge was just [ __ ] creepy. The room on the second floor that we stayed in wasn't that
creepy. There was bunk beds, but we all just slept on the floor like it was one big sleepover. And honestly, that was
fun. I wasn't ever really invited to sleepovers as a kid, so it felt like I made up for that. I'll fight whoever
didn't take you to a sleepover. It's true. I don't believe in sleepovers anymore, but I will [ __ ] fight people
for not inviting you to I also don't believe in sleepovers, but like not happening for me, my kids, but like I
wish it happened for you. Yeah. Back in the day, cuz I went to sleepovers. Like we all did. And I loved sleepovers, but
you didn't. And I'll [ __ ] fight whoever didn't invite you to a sleepover, Zena. [ __ ] them up, Zena.
Maybe we'll have, you know,' be so fun. We should do a live show someday that's sleepover themed. Oh my god. Yeah, we
should do one that's like literally in the middle of the night. That would be fun. Like sleepover. We'll
talk to our people. We'll do a late one so it's like we can all like watch a scary movie late. You could do like a
10:00 show. Yeah, that would actually be a lot of fun. We're going to workshop this. Mikey's like, "Wait a minute."
Well, you could also go on to uh what is it called? Um there's like an online platform where you can sit there and
watch a movie together and you can all sit there. Oh, yeah. You're right. We used to do it with Caleb. Let's do that.
And we can all watch a scary movie together and we can all just like react together. That sounds like a lot of fun.
We got to do that. I want to do that. Please. That'd be so fun. Would you guys be down for that? Would you do that with
us? And everyone has to wear pajamas. You must. Yeah. I am really ding about pajama party rules. Yeah. She doesn't
[ __ ] around. need to come to my pajama party in pajamas in regular clothes. Don't. And I agree. Yeah. Yeah. We're
going to do that. Yeah. Thank you, Zena, for letting us get here. Yeah. So, we're
going to give you the slumber party you never had, babe. Hell yeah. Zena's invited to this one. Now, there was this
one girl, super sweet, super kind. We're just going to call her Molly. I love that name. And we learned I do. I love
that name. It's a great name. My kid's favorite American Girl doll right now is Molly. Mine was always Molly. I liked
Kit, too. Uh, Kit was a after my time. I thought you were gonna say Kit was a [ __ ] because you you like Kit was a
I'm not sure. Did he say I'm not sure? Honestly, me neither. That was that was distasteful.
Yeah, he said I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Yes, I made a distasteful joke and our our spirit
demon friend let us know. I'm not sure. He said don't leave that in. Not sure about that. He said legal. And when the
when the Damon is saying, "I'm not sure about that." You got to listen. Yeah. So, sometimes I do that. Um,
that was great. So, yeah, the original five didn't include Kit. It didn't. Uh, but Felicity was my girl and Molly. And
we learned on night one that Molly happened to talk in her sleep. So, every morning we would joke about it and
whoever uh whoever she woke up with her late night sleeptalking kind of weird ramblings would tell us about it. It was
always just kind of funny things like Molly singing or something weird. So, of course, I thought nothing of it. On
night three, I just couldn't sleep for some reason. So, I stayed up well past midnight reading. Now, around 300 a.m.
The devil's hour. Oh, no. My hour. Oh, no. My my hour. I desperately had to pee, like so [ __ ] bad. For hours, I'd
been putting it off, which was majorly dumb on my part. So 3:00 a.m. comes and I'm sitting there contemplating whether
or not Attic of Doom was worth it or not. I'm still a firm believer that it would not have been worth it. Anyways,
I'm just sitting there trying not to pee myself when Molly sits up and I'm like,
"Oh, hey girl. Want to go to the demon bathroom with me?" Because yes, I'm a scaredy-cat. Molly did not respond. And
low key, it was kind of terrifying because she's sitting there head down kind of limp looking and I'm just
sitting there feeling my heart drop because what the actual [ __ ] is going on? And then I [ __ ] you not, she looks
up at the door which was closed and just whispers, "You can let them in now." No. Why did she do that? No. What a
[ __ ] Why did she do that, Molly? That's [ __ ] made. And then she whispered it again. No, you can let them
in now. Stop, Molly. You think she was [ __ ] with you? Then someone knocked on the door super quietly. No, no, no,
no, no, no, no. And Molly just laid back down like nothing ever happened. No. Did
you ever go back to that campus? Impressed. I thought it said undressed. Maybe. I thought it said impressed.
Impressed. It went away. It sounded like impressed. No, you're right. Um, wow. That was a good story. It was a good
story. Not even done. Oh my. Wait, what was I going to say? Ghosty, you interrupted me. Did you go back to that
camp again? I think is what I was going to say. We'll have to see when I tell you the way I almost [ __ ] my pants.
Like, I don't [ __ ] with ghosts at all. And someone knocked on the door literal
literal milliseconds after Molly said, "You can let them in now. Stop doing that. I can tell you didn't tell you I
didn't have to pee anymore because there was no way I was leaving that room. I'm
surprised you didn't piss yourself right there. I thought you were going to say because I evacuated my my bladder. Yeah.
Uh the entire situation was just giving the nun. And let's just say I was not a fan. I was not going to be the human
soul sacrifice. So there was no [ __ ] way in hell I was leaving that room. So I just accepted my fate and lay there
until morning. You said UTI it is. Yep. I'll go with that. Just waiting for the bathroom demon to come and get me. I can
also tell you that I didn't share that story the next morning. I value my life. So, already being a little freaked out,
I did not go anywhere alone the next day. Which leads us to the next story that involves playing hideand seek but
in the dark. No, I used to love playing that game. I never played that all the time. Yeah. Now, I already explained
that it gets [ __ ] dark and at night there's one street light that comes on and it's a useless [ __ ] piece of [ __ ]
for a life. It's right next to the one goddamn building that gives light. I love that we're talking about a church
camp and I love that Zay is just like this [ __ ] goddamn building. I know. I know. So good. Uh that building being
the messaul and the messaul lights are always on. They should have put the damn street light anywhere else. Literally
anywhere else. But anyways, on the night on the last night they always do a night
game that involves running around and looking for something. Oh, that's fun. And this night they chose a game called
sardines. It's basically hide-and-seek, but at the beginning, two people hide together, and everyone has to split up
and find them. And when you find them, you hide with them. Oh, so you keep squishing in with them to the hiding
spot. Oh, that's cool. That's kind of fun. Yeah. Now, me and this girl, we'll call her Nicole, were the original two
people who had to hide together. One thing to know about Nicole is that she has the most beautiful singing voice I
have ever heard. Like, it's a voice that got her a full ride scholarship to Giuliard, AMDA, and an internship for
singing in Italy. So like she's hella good at singing to say the least. She had the most brilliant idea of where to
hide. Now for context on the girls side of camp there's there's 12 cabins. Cabins G1 to G12. There's this one cabin
though that absolutely no one has has no one wants to stay in. And that would be
G4. G4 is the boondocks of this camp. Pathetic. Nobody wants to stay there. I don't want
to say pathetic. He's like please just stay there. Damn. He's like in this with us. He is. I like having a ghost as like
our color commentary commentator here. Yeah. Like we're already in the middle of nowhere, but G4 is on the border of
the camp. It's about a hundred yards away from all the other girls cabins. Not only not only was that royally
[ __ ] but also it was just giving, you know, possibly Ted Bundy's shack. It was
a cabin with a long with a long path down to it, and the trees around it just blocked any light. This is where Nicole
wanted to hide. I mean, smart. It is smart. Like [ __ ] to the no. But what could I do but go with her? Like I
didn't want to die but I also didn't want to let her die alone. So I followed her. Good friend. That is good friend.
Once we got to Satan good friend. That is good friend. That is good friend. Good job. Uh you did friend. Well once
we got to Satan's lair which is slightly iron Satan's lair which is slightly ironic because we were at a literal
church camp. We just waited. At one point, a branch snapped to our far left, and I lost my [ __ ] and basically started
crying. But that was just the beginning of the fun. Nicole, being the brave, witchy badass that she was, went to
investigate. So, I stood there for upwards of 5 minutes by myself, just praying that God wouldn't let me die
like this, and that my parents knew I loved them if I happened to die like this. And then I heard someone singing
close by. I couldn't see anything, and I didn't know where it was coming from. It
sounded like it was one voice coming from all around me. [ __ ] that. And it was that song, that one super [ __ ]
creepy song that goes, "Ding dong, I know you can hear me. Open up the door. I only want to play a little."
Ew. I know that song. Obviously, evidently. Obviously. It's like It's got a very creepy It sure
does. And you just keep singing it. So, I began I think it's like a Tik Tok sound. Is it? I'm pretty sure. I'm
pretty sure it's cuz it's like an old song. Um, and so I began turning in circles, desperately trying to find out
what the [ __ ] who the [ __ ] why the [ __ ] Needless to say, I'm on the verge of a panic attack when someone puts
their hand on my shoulder. No. I have never screamed louder in my entire life. Do you think it was God? I turn around
and it's Molly. Close. Molly. And Nicole starts laughing somewhere and she walks
out of the goddamn c down the goddamn cabin saying that I should have seen my face. A, it's honestly super funny now
because I'm a scaredy-cat, lol. And I still have no [ __ ] clue how Nicole pulled off getting into the cabin
without me seeing or hearing her. But anyways, those are my stories about how my souls left my body twice at a
Christian summer camp. I love you guys so incredibly much and I hope you enjoyed my whack ass story. Keep it
weird and take it away, Ash. But not so weird that you lose your soul twice at a
church camp. But I mean, I guess you could find it there if you lost it. That's true. So I think that's part of
the deal, right? I don't know, Zena. Those were awesome. I loved those. I loved them. I'm sorry that our Damon
thinks that you're pathetic for not wanting to stay in G4. I know. I think I meant all of the campers, not just Yeah,
he definitely thought we speak for him. Yeah, we're friends. Or or are right. We're friends.
Hey, demon. Um or ghost or spirit. Are we friends? He said, I'll let you know later. He
said TBD. Undecided. All right. This is called Black Betty. Listener tale submission. Please read this wild [ __ ]
Okay. Okay. Okay. Sure thing. A haunting experience in our basement. Hey yo. Hey.
Hey. My name is Tara. Yes, you can share. Just going to hop right down to What is your name? What is your name?
Hi. Uh, I'm Elena. I'm Ash. And this is Morbid. He wants They want to be friends. What is your name?
We'll give you some time to answer. Is your name Nicholas or is it something else? If it's something else, let us
know. That's a lot of asking. I know it you said it Nicholas before and I like that. It's nice. That's a nice name. If
it's your name, if your name is Nicholas, love that. Let us know. If it's something else, let us know.
So fun. Okay, I'm I'm just going to tell the story while you while you answer. While you caught the point. I'm
compelled to share a chilling experience that has lingered in my memory for years. And I would love to compel you to
read it. Well, consider me compelled. I am compelled as [ __ ] This started after
my parents purchased a house of sorts to renovate. To renovate, honey. After renovations were done, the layout of the
house was standard. Walk through the front door into the living room. Off to the side is one bedroom. Past the living
room is the kitchen and tucked into the corner of said kitchen is the door to hell. It didn't used to be. Pretty
standard. Yeah, pretty standard. It didn't used to be, but I digress. Usually, when you go down the steps into
the basement, you're met with an abundance of light. The base of the steps leads into a common room, and to
the right is a hallway with a bedroom door, a doorway opposite that leads to the laundry room, and then the bathroom.
When standing in the common room, straight ahead is a bedroom with another bedroom connected by a door on the
right. Each room has four smaller sized windows lining the upper wall. And during the day, it was lit lit up in an
old bookstore kind of way. Ungodly. Ungodly. Do you feel like the basement is ungodly
or do like are you not a fan of this layout? He's like, "That sounds terrible. Sorry
about your layout." You know, maybe he doesn't like all the light that extremes in. It's pretty un like that much light
either. I get it. But what's your name? So, um, my parents, without our consent,
bought this house when it was just a basement. The whole house in the ground where the dead live. Yeah, they thought
that would be a great idea. Not only was it a basement house, it was often frequented throughout the years by local
townies who engaged in various satanic rituals. The [ __ ] You said that, not me, but I also second it. We were a
Pentecostal family who couldn't even watch Disney movies. Oh my. So, imagine my confusion as a '90s kid when my
Pentecostal parents decided to buy and [ __ ] up the house of Lucifer J. Satan himself. What's the J stands for?
Oh, it stands for Jamon. Jamon. Lucifer Jam. My parents, with the intent uh to restore and renovate, added an upper
level to the house. Good choice. Yeah. And we lived there for several years. Despite the fresh new look, the house
carried an eerie atmosphere, and we encountered various inexplicable incidents over the years. From hearing
our names being called by my mom, who turned out to never be in the home, to furniture moving. I'm talking literal
poltergeist [ __ ] like chairs stacking, cabinets opening, etc. For the longest time, my brothers and I blamed each
other and were sure one of us was trying to scare the others to waking me up one
night crying cuz I couldn't see. It was like somebody shut off my eyeballs. Out of service, no connection available. I
was blind. Please come back. We're still here. Yeah, we're here. We're here. Don't worry. We're going to
stay like here. Would love to know your name though. Still would love it. What's
your name? You're Nicholas. I feel is Yeah. But but but let us know if we're wrong. Yeah. We're here though. We're
here. Yeah. So scary. I know. Um I was like, I actually so fun. Actually, this is this
is She's like, this is so fun. This is the best. This is really fun. I'm just This is really fun. I'm really having a
great time. I screamed for my parents to come and well that was useless because when they
did rush in the only said the only thing my mom said was quit hollering and put on your glasses. Insert. I love my
parents dearly but what in the entire [ __ ] mom? It's blacked out completely. Can't see and not blind as a bat. Blurry
can't see. Yeah, that's scary. Yeah, if your child says they can't see, she's like well put your damn glasses on. Put
your holler in. I'm tired of your [ __ ] I never called for her again because clearly the Lord didn't bless her with
the wisdom I needed in that moment and I would figure that [ __ ] out for me. I understand. I understand. You
understand? Was your mom not listening when you were blind once? Oh no. That's a bummer. Didn't bless your mom with
that? Uh eventually and out of nowhere my sight just popped back on and I was able to see my parents standing in the
doorway looking at me like I'm That's cool. That's fine. That's good. We were down for that. We can We
can hear you. We're trying to chat. Yeah. Mikey's [ __ ] his pants like I don't like it. Mikey literally just
goes, "I don't like it. I I'm good. Is it cool if I refer to you as Nicholas from here on out? Let me
know." Um, so her parents were looking at her like she may need a shrink. Thanks, guys. A1 protection there. One
incident stands out as the heaviest and the strangest. One day, my mom and I were home doing laundry together and
took a trip into the depths of hell to go put away my brother's clothes, as one does. As we stepped into the finished
basement common room, we immediately stopped and froze. Directly in front of us, where the doorway where the doorway
to the boy's room, uh, the boys bedroom was usually transparent and filled up by
sunlight, but now it was pitch black. It was like somebody had hung a blackout curtain in the doorway, preventing our
view. This [ __ ] was so dark, you just could not see into the room. You could not see the windows, the beds, and the
other doorway. You could see absolutely nothing. What the [ __ ] I immediately was like, "Nope, the [ __ ] not." Looked
at my mom who not only dropped the laundry and got the [ __ ] out of there, but also left me standing there alone.
Wow. Not A1. Did did not bless with something. That was the heaviest, most absorbing presence I've ever felt
in my life to this day. Damn. The unsettling feeling of a presence overwhelmed us. And to this day, my mom
swears it was demonic. No [ __ ] lady. You tried to evict Satan from his home. That's right. Lucifer J. Satan. Lucifer
Jim. Satan. I thought it was Jeffrey. But Jeffrey? I thought it was Jeffrey. I thought we decided Jim. No, we did. I
thought I thought it was Jeffrey. Oh, that's fair. I like the name Jeffrey. I like Lucifer Jeffrey. Jeffrey Satan.
Yeah, that's good. I like it. We We can workshop them. I like it. This experience was the culmination of unease
we'd felt over the years, and it remains the most vivid and horrifying event in my recollection of living in that house.
Despite my parents effort to restore and renew the home, the basement's dark history seemed to stick around. No m
amount of doorway an ointments, prayers, banishing ever got rid of that energy and weight. I guess you really can't
evict Satan himself from where he resides. Who knew? Hint, not my mom. Sharing this with you is not just about
recounting a haunting experience, but also about the inexplicable connection to the past that somea places carry and
why you should never try to renovate a basement house in a hillbilly town where who knows what took place because you'll
have wasted thousands and thousands of dollars and end up moving out shortly after completing all of that work. Thank
you for reading. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Tara, that was very ambo. Sincerely, former
Pentecostal '90s kid. Tara, former Pentecostal '90s kid. That was great. What a moniker. Horrifying. I love it.
Terra, that was so scary. I don't like your house at all. Your old house. No. I'm glad you don't live there anymore.
Should we do one more? We should probably do one more. Maybe. Did he say more or [ __ ] More. He wants
another one. Oh, he said do more. We were literally saying, should we do one more? And he said more. He said more.
All right, Nicholas. Okay, Nicholas. I think his name is Nicholas because he didn't say another name. He's not saying
no. I love the name Nicholas. So, shout out to you. Nice. All right. So, let's do one that is called
uh my mom sees auras and oh, a demon came for my older brother. Oh. Uh, the whole tail, including the intro, are
included in the pifa. Thank you. Pifa pifa. Pifer. Um, I don't know if I can use your name, so I'm not going to use
it yet. Hello, Ash, Elena, Dave, Debb, Mikey, and all other weirdos. Pathetic next to you.
That's for you. I think the charming for me. I know. I don't think it was. I don't think so. I
think we just got called pathetic next to you. I uh Damn. I don't know. I don't know, Nicholas. I don't think that was
her. At first, I thought it said pathetic next tale. I was like, "What about I was like, whoa, that was spot
on, Nicholas. And we haven't even started this tail." Nicholas, I don't think you were referring to me there. I
think we have a I don't think you're referring to me. Nicholas. Nicholas. Who's pathetic? Let us know. Ash or
Elena. If it says Mikey, I'm going to [ __ ] myself. Imagine if it says Mike. I would die. I'd die. All right. If this
gets read on the pod, I will simply pass away. Rest in peace. A dear friend introduced me to your podcast in 2021,
and I listened periodically until September of 2023. I was doing my last field trip fieldwork internship at a
children's clinic for occupational therapy school and was driving about an hour and a half to and from the clinic.
I worked for the same clinic that clinic that I did that field work for over a year and had almost a 2hour daily
commute. Oh, [ __ ] that. I was able to catch up on the backlog. Yes, even the underwater days to keep me sane. I now
work at another pediatric clinic only 30 minutes from my house and happily listen
to the pod on Monday and Thursdays while I drive or do paperwork. I'm also an amateur quilter and have listened to
your wonderful voices for hours as I've as I have pinned, pressed, and cussed out my life choices when I've made
mistakes. I cannot thank you enough for providing victims the opportunity to get
their stories told and the people that ended their lives the proper roasting they deserve. You wonderful humans, Ash
and Elena, for bringing the stories to life in the most enga- engaging way possible. Thank you, Mikey, for helping
everything run so smooth. Deb for reading all the stories and choosing some bangers. and Dave, oh magical
research wizard Dave, enough says. I are creating a spooky in the best way possible space for advocacy and a
friendship for those of all ages, orientations, spirituality, religious views, etc. Hell yeah. Thank you for
creating this sensational place for us weirdos. That was really sweet. Thank you. I didn't even know that that was
what a perfect one to end on. I know. Before I start, please don't use my name. I did it. Oh, look at that. I knew
it. It's like I knew. Yeah. Uh, but you gave me your name. Uh, I had to send a revised one of these with changed names
to make it easier to read. Thank you for doing that. I've included pictures at the bottom of my family, the zoo of pets
that live with my parents, and a reference picture. It'll make sense when you read a little further. These tales
are about my mama and her gift of reading people's auras. Her gift is not a party trick, and I don't want to have
people ask her to read their auras unprovoked. She's given me permission to share these stories. I um and it says I
had to revise the sec this a second time because my mother informed me that I had
told the first story wrong and she wanted the details correct. Iconic. I will also include a link to a news
article about an 85year-old woman from the small farming area that I live in who saved herself from a home intruder
because it was a wild tale. I didn't think I could write it better than the news. If you need a pallet cleanser or
just to be amazed, check it out. Share that story. I've included a 14 point double space pifa. I hope that's how
it's Satanic. Satanic. Nicholas. Wow. Nicholas gets it. Nicholas. He's on theme. He's like I
feel like he did like a he went when he did that. He did do that. I wrote this on a break from work, so unfortunately I
did not time it. Insert quote from DW Reed from the classic TV show Arthur. I'm a failure. Oh my god, I love her. I
also apologize for rambling to begin. Anyway, on to the tales. My mom is the epitome of the Shakespeare quote. Though
she be but little, she is fierce. At her tallest, she was 4 feet 10, 10 in if she
stretched. She is now about 4 foot n and a quarter. As a kid, we would always hear my mom say things about auras. It
was normal for us. She will tell strangers what their aura means sometimes, especially if it's unusual or
particularly special. We, my dad and my siblings, sometimes get embarrassed by this, but my mom persists with it
nonetheless. The auras that she sees tend to be the core of who someone is. The auras can get brighter or dimmer
depending on if someone is feeling well, uplifted, down or ill, etc. My sister Wyn has a double aura, a core of yellow
and an outer pink layer representing her energy levels. Pretty. My mom has seen Win around people that make her yellow
dim because they talk down to her or treat her badly. [ __ ] those people. Her pink ranges in color based on how well
she slept or how she's managing her medical conditions. Oh, that's cool. My older brother, Cletus, was performing
with a choir when he was in college. A student, Jill, was conducting the choir for several numbers, and she came on
stage appearing timid. Jill got to the middle of the stage and raised her arms to begin the number. Jill's confidence
was palpable. As soon as she raised her arms, my mom gasped and said, "Oh, I wish you could see that." After that
concert was done and we found Cletus, my mom said he had to tell her what my mom
saw. The moment that Jill raised her arms, my mom said that there was a silvery pink explosion across the stage.
Oh, that just gave me a chill. Me, too. I imagine it looks like the parting of the Red Sea in the Prince of Egypt. Now,
not all of my mom's experiences are positive. She's been a nurse longer than I've been alive and worked in the ER for
many years. Oh, man. Yes, my mom is a badass, will always be a hero in my eyes, and has crazy stories. She was
working the night shift when a man and his girlfriend/wife, I'm not positive if they were married or not, came in. His
most distinguishable feature to my mom was his black aura. Black is one of the rarest. It's not if not the rarest she
has ever seen. I think she's seen maybe two or three in her 60 plus years of life. Wow. Black shows her that the
person is evil at their core. Oo, my stomach just growled. Your core is evil. My stomach just
growled. My mom warned the female ER doctor not to close doors or be in the room alone with this man. The doctor
asked why, and my mom said that the man was abusing his partner, who I will call
Jane Doe. The doctor assessed him and he needed an X-ray. While the man was out of earshot, my mom asked Jane if she
needed help. Jane looked terrified, shook her head, and said, paraphrased, "There would be consequences from the
man if she knew if he knew my f mother was talking to her about what was going on." Oh, he was 100% harming this woman
behind closed doors. And I can't imagine the fear Jane must have felt when my mom
was able to clock it. My mom said, "If Jane changed her mind before they left, my mom would get the hospital police
officer involved." Jane smiled and thanked my mom. They finished all the tests and things they needed and left
the hospital. Sometime during the night, the ER staff looked up this man. He had
gotten out of jail after killing a young woman. Holy [ __ ] Holy [ __ ] I can't remember if it was because it was
manslaughter or technicality or some other [ __ ] We all know he had gotten away with murder and is probably
continuing to terrorize women/g good people like the small dick weasel he is. Yeah, there are other experiences she
has, but I don't want to take up too much time. I'll get into the second story about a demon coming for my
brother. Please do. Thank you. Cletus was my parents fourth pregnancy and the first one that made it past the first
trimester. After so many miscarriages, my parents were stoked for the idea of a little of the little pitterpatter of
feet. A my mom woke up in the middle of the night, I've never known when, but let's be real, probably about 3:00 a.m.
to see a black figure standing in front of her bathroom door. She could clearly see the outline of a humanoid figure in
the whites of eyes, but everything was black. Oh, I don't like the whites of eyes. Nicholas, what do you think? I
know you've been quiet. Nicholas, are you still there? She You're just listening to the to the tale. She asked,
"Why are you here?" And the figure simply stated, "I'm here for your baby." No, I'm Chili's. No. My mom literally
screamed my dad out of bed and demanded that he join her in praying for whatever
there this was to go away and stay away. I'm pretty sure that this happened at least one more time, but I'm not
positive. For that to happen once alone is I'm here for the baby and then for it
to happen again. Jesus Christ. Um, so she has told me quote there was no way in hell I would let that thing by by my
kids. My mom is a huge mama bear and gets quite scary despite her smaller stature. It's the small ones always too.
It's true. Cletus arrived not so long after, followed by me, my sister, and my younger brother. A thank you for all the
time you put into the podcast and for taking the time to read my rambling tale. Keep it weird, but not so weird
that I can't think of anything. So, please take it away, Ash. Only if you want to. Oh my god, Queen. That was so
kind. Not so weird that a a demon shows up to drag your baby to hell. No, over you. Over here. Over here. I said,
"Where are you?" He said, "Where are you?" And he was like, "I'm right over here." Oh, Nicholas, I love you.
Nicholas for life. Oh my gosh, you guys. These are really And this is signed a fellow weirdo. A fellow weirdo. Wow,
those were really good. You guys have some [ __ ] going on and your parents have
some [ __ ] going on. The aura one was so cool. Yes. and like the black ore, but
that one that the when she raised her arms and it was like an explosion of silvery light across. I love that.
That's really cool. And I love that your mom was like, "She's got to know." She was like, "I wish you could see that."
That's cool, guys. Damn. You made this satanic episode. So much fun. Happy 666. What? How did I die? Oh,
it was like It was a little dull. Damn. Okay, Nicholas. You know what? Nicholas has high standards being from the spirit
realm. And he he was like, "That was dull. Let's get into some crazy shit." Like, "How did I die?" How did I die?
Nicholas, do you know how you died? We'll update you guys. And damn. In the meantime, we hope you keep listening and
we hope you keep it weird, but not so weird that you don't tune in to find out how Nicholas died.
Nicholas, how did you die? How did you die? I mean, that's not really that creepy.
Oh my god. He will touch you. He will. He will touch you. [Music] What? Bye. Who will touch you? Who will touch
who? Dad. Ready. He did. He touched me. He fell like this. He's still Wait, Nicholas, did you
make that happen? In the shadow. That's really metal and I like it. Yeah. Do you like ghosts, Nicholas?
