back in the day just Kidd I was like what I was you were like where are we I thought you were going oh I was like
what no no no I said bring it back and then I went a you didn't see the shoulders of it all that's what took me
out sorry back to Heidi it's not about me back in the day my father worked as an insurance agent with a side hustle as
a contractor Builder and Craftsman damn he would find a trash heap of a home buy
it for pennies gut it remodel it and flip it for profit he carried paper on those homes and did so well fiscally
that he eventually gave up his insurance work for D Dawn till Dusk self-employed
Contractor Building gig which incredibly he is still hard at work today in his mid 70s let's go Papa your dad what can
I say Dad loves what he does that's great you never work a day in your life hell yeah my little brother and I spent
many Summers as free laborers for a dad's intensive home renovations sure we'd both grown in unison when Dad
announced that he bought another hubel but we learned some incredible skills of our own and firsthand lessons in the
value of hard work and Visionary promise that was beautiful sentence yeah the vast majority of my dad's remodeling
projects were from phenomenal everyone who knew him wanted my dad to remodel their kitchens bathrooms or build their
entire home additions there was even a time when one of his homes was featured in an architectural Digest Magazine damn
look mama we made it yeah nevertheless the home I'm about to introduce you to was not one such pH nomenal project on a
hot July day in Grants Pass Oregon is that it right Dad Oregon Trail oh Dad loaded my little brother and me into our
family's Brown for Brown Ford van and took us with him to inspect a potential remodel that was owned by Mr Floyd Baker
one of my dad's Insurance clients Floyd had fallen on hard times and was looking
to sell his house I like that you made up the names in this and you chose Floyd appreciate that it's similar to Boyd and
that's what me and Elena call each other there you go quick side note if you Google the residence I've attached the
information for your eyes only you'll find that it sits near the West End of demoray drive today this area is
considered Suburbia with the surrounding pasture pastures divvied up in additional housing and pot Gardens but
back when I was just a tween in the mid1 1980s this property was a good 15minute
drive out into the countryside of Grants Pass proper now back to that fful July Day Dad pulled up in front of the home's
two-car garage which was and still is attached to the right side of the house it's double wing single garage door
stood gaping open what you just said Double Wing Oh I thought he said Double Wing It actually says double wide but I
said Double Wing and I'm I'm 12 you are 12 you said Double Wing I was like no I said wing and that was still
wrong we out here it's double wide single garage door stood gaping open like a dark yawning
mouth that scar yeah I don't I don't know about that I hate that Dad told us to I know exactly
how I feel about it Dad told us to stay by the van as he hopped out and greeted Floyd who approached the van with a
toothy grin I don't like that Dad and I like my men to smile at me with no teeth give me a s well give me a soft
smile give me a gummy smile no no no soft Smiles only smes SM at me baby Floyd so Dad and
Floyd mosied off to inspect the house and surrounding acreage my brother and I quickly grew bored of sitting in the hot
van and decided to loiter in the shade of the trees near the house as we tumbled out of the van and moved closer
to the house a horrendous stench slapped our faces and burned our n nostrils good
God what is that death you said it like that we were Farm kids we'd smelled dead
animals before a rotting rodent left by the barn cats here a putrid post butcher
gut pile there you got the idea oh that was I feel like I can smell it but this smell far far worse the pungency was
profound I love that sentence and it had a disgustingly and indescribably sweet twist to its rancid odor oh we know
that's right so gross our senses of smell were seared by it my brother and I flippantly commented how on how awful
the smell was but again boredom and a touch of curiosity s in what the heck was taking Dad so long while we waited
we tried to pinpoint where the nasty odor was coming from from we quickly determined it was coming from the garage
yep definitely the garage we had no doubt we peered into the dimness of the open garage door with our hands clamped
tightly over our mouths and noses our eyes took a moment to adjust from the bright Summer Sun as our vision came
into Focus we noticed that a slab of concrete had been cut out of the parking space on the left side of the garage
floor the missing slab was roughly 4 to 5 ft long by 2 or 3 ft wide and 5 or 6 in deep right down to the dirt uhoh
there were dark red splotches around the missing section of concrete weird weird
indeed along the left side of the garage or like you know we like to say unique yeah yeah different along the left side
of the garage there was a step and a door that led into the house the bottom half of the door was dented in huh
that's odd too mhm sure is the rest of the garage was unassuming a cluttered workbench stretched along the right side
of the garage and the back wall was covered with overfilled wooden shelving that reached from floor to ceiling at
the back of the garage toward the left side a door stood open and offered a peek into the backyard as I for as I AER
mentioned we were 80s kids I was 10 or 11 and my brother is 2 years younger than me so it goes without saying that
electronic div Divergence was not an option for us back in those days instead our Curiosities peaked and we resorted
to our youthful and warped imaginations for entertainment what could be a better
game than this one of us decided it would be great fun to see who could run all the way through the foul garage and
at the back door without taking a breath my God I would have 100% played this game I would not I don't recall whose
Grand idea it was but the game was a foot it was L us we ran it was it was mine we ran from the front and out the
back then again from the back to the front next we mixed it up by adding a jump over the missing section of
concrete slabs as we ran through the raning garage after that we realized we were much too successful with these
minor challenges and decided to see how many times we could run back and forth through the garage without having to
gasp for a gulp of pure beir we were nailing it oh my God you guys are probably so stinky so stinky Jump Ahead
about a decade I was fascinated with forensics and seriously considered it as a field of study as I headed off to
college however the memory of my experience in the demoray garage and how truly disgusting the pong of human
decomposition is persuasively steered me away from that career choice so I ended
up caring for the living rather than the dead hey good for you jump ahead another
10 years I'm around 30 years old and assisting a surgeon with lancing a softball siiz abscess and a patient's
groin that sounds [ __ ] horrible you you picked that sentence up and you just dropped it right in front of us a
softball sized abscess you didn't ask me on you didn't knock on the door you busted through the door and you just
dropped that sentence in my lap like remember when you learned I have to have that remember when you learned how to
hold a softball you like had to figure out like how to arrange your fingers around it and still they wouldn't fit
cuz the softball's [ __ ] huge yep on your groin yeah and abscess it's going to get worse we
successfully drained about a liter of loose yellow Pearl you wanted to read this
one some stuff from the absess no no no she said leader of loose yellow pesent wait were you going to skip over
the whole thing no uh no shut up it had black Flex of necrotic tissue in it Yeet
she just goes Yeet I'm so upset the stench of that drainage was the closest smell to human decomp that I've ever
experienced in nearly 40 years oh my God girly I just had onion rings for lunch why did you do that to
me I suppose that would make sense it was necrotic tissue after all in fact you ladies read a listener Tale in which
a thoughtful writer tried to describe the reak of human decom she was so close but I remember saying out loud what
about the sweetness thank you ready no sooner had the words left my I was going to say I say that no sooner had the
words left my mouth then Elena said there's a sweet smell too truth it's my personal conviction that a sweet odor in
decomposition is what makes the decom smell uniquely human it's just it's true it's a sickly sweet smell that's how I
felt about my onion rings today yeah it was they were sickly sweet no I got Sonic onion rings and why do they make
them tastes like cake I don't like it they literally have vanilla in them like why were my onion rings like deom I too
know the smell of human decomposition I do at this it was like my Sonic onion rings honestly it might be close it was
like making onion rings vanilla bread it's true though there's like a weird you know when something is so
sweet that you're like it smells bad I want to launch myself into the Sun that was so bad like I don't know if I know
about that like you know how sometimes somebody will give you like you'll order a coffee and they put too many pumps of
something in it and you take a sip and you're like like it's just like oh my God it does this certain thing to like
your tongue I feel like yeah and it's just human deom is all the horrible smells you can
think of of like garbage rotting yeah but add a sweet sweet uh I don't know how to
justbe like a like a sweet layer on top that just as you smell that that hot rotting garbage that turns your stomach
this sweetness like leaks in after it so you're just like like it's just like you
don't know where you're that was loud you don't know where you're you're supposed to go or feel cuz you're like
it's so confusing you know where you go you go home Roger you go home Roger and you take a sh Chow it's a lot it's a lot
it's really hard to describe I think that's why nobody can really describe it accurately it's like rotting garbage
that a Starbucks barista just like goes by and like pumps all the caramel on much yeah but she puts like um the the
sugar-free one I was just going to say the sugar-free one that's somehow sweeter like it's just cuz it's like
fake like it's like asart time like ranly sweet okay uh now back to the mid 1980s Dad finally returned with a grumpy
look on his face and told us to get in the van we're leaving yeah get out of there my brother and I playfully bounded
back to the van offhandedly commenting on how vile Floyd's garage smelled dad merely grunted in agreement we started
back down demoray drive toward our own home which was less than 2 miles away we lived on the road that runs parallel to
Dem Demay drive along its souths side in retrospect we lived much too close to Floyd's House dad was silent for a
minute as we turned off the road dad finally asked do you know what that smell was oh my God is he going to tell
you my brother and I both offered lame ideas like really rotten garbage dad eventually clarified by saying that was
the smell of Floyd's wife she was was murdered in the garage while he was away on business he said so take that rancid
smell out of your mouth okay after a beat with our mouths hanging open and our eyes bulging my brother and I
started asking dad all sorts of questions he calmly this is a dad yeah he calmly and matter of factly answered
each one how old were you good for your dad just being like you know what here it is the story was that Floyd's wife
was bludgeon to death in the garage with a hammer that was reportedly plucked from the cluttered workbench oh that's
horrific the removed concrete slab had a bloody footprint or something on it in the wife's own blood and so it was taken
for evidence the dent in the door was from the wife falling against it during the
attack this is [ __ ] up sad she was like brutally killed the odor was from the wife rotting in the garage for 2
weeks In The Heat Of Summer cuz he was away and apparently she had been found by Floyd himself upon his return from
the business trip oh my God the cherry on top was that Mrs Baker's decomposing body was removed not long enough before
my brother and I were carelessly were running carelessly through the garage my dad didn't realize we would be exposed
to any of that oof mistake number one mistake number two my Dad decided to buy Floyd's house what the [ __ ] let me
repeat myself so that this is plainly clear my father of previously sound mind resolved to purchase Mr Floyd Baker's
murder home that's a choice okay so Dad gives each one of us his remod excuse me
sorry it's okay that you were a little flustered after that okay take that breath so Dad gives each one of his
remodels a unique or sophisticated name such as the Woodland or the Redwood Falls or the Chateau I love your dad to
list a few but for this abhorent model we understandably and very simply dubbed it the murder house and still call it to
that to this day honestly I I don't know what else you could name it in the months following following my dad's
decision to make the murder house his next remodel we would show up on site as a family to help deep clean dispose of
garbage and otherwise assist Floyd with moving out of the home or Floyd Floyd's wife had a little white Pomeranian which
Floyd claimed to utterly despise on one such occasion that we were there helping
them clean I distinctively recall Floyd carrying the Palm in one arm while dramatically waving one of the dogs paw
at us and repeatedly saying bye-bye bye-bye as he climbed into his vehicle with the dog and drove away no more Palm
it turned out that Floyd took the Palm to be euthanized cremated and buried along with his wife I didn't see the end
of that sentence coming I thought you were I thought you were saying that he came to love the dog
he came to love the dog I was like bye-bye going on a trip that's what I thought too oh my god oh Floyd that's
not okay the end of that sentence was such a jump scope that was so mean [ __ ] Floyd I feel like I was just
tricked you were you were duped I was like a bye-bye byebye oh that's what Floyd was like too and the dog's just
like okay that's so sad and also it's like dude your wife probably loved that [ __ ] dog damn why the [ __ ] did you
use say you know what Heidi has the right response what the actual [ __ ] he should have given it to somebody
else you don't just kill a dog cuz you don't want it I'm on an emotional roller coaster right now it's like Lucy Loosey
Apple juicy damn Flash Forward two decades with me I'm I'm here with you yeah let's get out of there I'm working
as an ice you nurse so you are a superhero and have a male patient who purposely blew half of his lower jaw oh
who purposely blew half of his lower jaw off during a failed suicide attempt oh oh my God the kicker he first shot and
killed the family dog before attempting to kill himself I don't think that's a kicker I don't I don't think anybody
told you what a kicker was well when I learned of that fact my mind had instantly gone back to Floyd cheerfully
waving the of his wife's Palm as he left to have it euthanized what the heck why
not give the pet to someone who would love to have it honestly there are no adequate words for these people truly
that's like that's the thing just give it to someone else God back at the murder house I remember that the inside
of the home rre of cheap cigarette smoke the interior walls were formly white but
had required a permanent orange tinge and had brownish streaks of nicotine tar that had dripped Down the Walls like wet
mascara you paint a picture have you ever been in a house where somebody has smoked like that it's crazy what it does
to the walls oh it's wild we scrubbed them as best we could to no avail the tar persistently seeped through several
several fresh layers of paint so we eventually resorted to painting them with a special sealant used after grease
fires before repe repainting the walls successfully and if that's not an anecdote to not smoke ever what one day
my mom brother and I were cleaning out in the garage Sons the odor of human human deom Floyd had a large trash can
by the workbench at one point while tossing some garbage into the trash my brother spied a bone more than a foot
long and nearly an inch in diameter with bits of fatty Flesh on it he anxiously pointed it out to Mom
and me mom who was an ER nurse noted that she didn't think it was human damn maybe an animal of some sort
we lived on a farm full of horses cows dogs cats turkeys chickens pigs ponies Etc and we assisted with butchering our
own meat but this bone was unfamiliar and right unsettling could it be from a child I asked my mom didn't think so but
we all agreed it didn't look like a bone we Farm folks were familiar with as we gathered around the trash postulating
and gawking at the bone Floyd came in through the back door of the garage and asked what are we looking at the kids
are curious about a bone in your trash answered my mom with a quick side nod toward the garage after a passing glance
Floyd burst out into graveled laughter ha that's just a turkey leg bone no it's not he then turned and sauntered back
out the way he had come in why Floyd's always lying he's lying he's always lying that was and still is the
strangest turkey leg bone I have ever seen yeah that's cuz it was not Mom gave us a wide-eyed shrug and we returned to
cleaning but from that moment on I was exceedingly suspicious of Floyd me too after the by-by August brought the
Josephine County Fair to town my family owned a vacant lot near the fairgrounds so we parked cars there every Fair
season to help pay for the lot's annual property taxes as a reward at the end of
the hot and exhausting week of parking cars all day every day my parents stayed to park the cars after Sunset while my
brother and I got to go enjoy a couple of hours of fun at the fair before it closed for the season we were noshing on
cotton candy and strolling through the selection of rides when Floyd literally jumped out at us from around the dark
side of a ticket booth Boo get out of here Floyd you're too wiy you're Wicked Wily way too wiely my brother and I
gasped and grabbed each other's arms with sticky fingers Floyd burst into obnoxious cackles rubbing his hands
together with Glee he was pleased he was plainly very pleased at our fright Floyd
glanced from side toide with his dark beady eyes where are your parents everywhere they're everywhere everywhere
Floyd get the [ __ ] out of here my parents are everywhere every single person in this fair is my parent Floyd
and they'll get you Floyd oh they're close to I love oh they're close by somewhere I answered even though they
weren't smart Floyd looked around for a few seconds longer then said well I guess I'll go find them then as he
disappeared back into the Shadows around the ticket booth my brother and I exchanged horrified looks and took off
running the opposite direction we fled the fair grounds frequently dancing behind us and met up with our parents
back back at the property we were unnerved and trembling my parents looked worried and became hyper Vigilant in
keeping one eye out for us and the other for Floyd who never did reappear that night at least as far as my brother and
I knew of Floyd finally moved back to California I think for from which he had originally come my entire family
breathed a huge sigh of relief at his departure bye Floyd not too long after Floyd left my parents received news that
Floyd had killed himself somewhere along the Pacific coast oh that's sad only then did my parents start sharing
additional details about Floyd not sad I wondered about this apparently the police believed he had
murdered his wife and staged a business trip as an alibi I believed it oh [ __ ]
never have I ever met a man creepier than Floyd supposedly he hadn't been arrested because the police didn't have
enough evidence to support their Theory moreover a local police detective and a close family friend of ours told my
parents that Floyd reportedly had at least two former wives who had also died under suspicious circumstances [ __ ]
Floyd geez we had Associated ourselves with a possible serial killer could it get much worse than that yes yes it
could and it did what I didn't think it was was going to get worse my dad started ripping down walls at the murder
house and adding on a master suite oh no I remember him telling us that he had found some really bad things written on
the sheet rock but he never did say what those things were moreover my dad replaced the dented inner door of the
garage and filled it in the missing concrete slab everything got a good scrub down and fresh paint new carpet
new lenium however my dad always felt like he was being watched as he worked and so he got his REM remodel project
done in as little time as possible just the basics no detail craft work by the way Dad's craft work is one of his
signature moves too bad murder house you basic well it's like when Nicole buyers
is that you basic you basic I love that he has like craft work that he puts in his homes that's like detail that's
really cool astonishingly my parents decided to use this particular home as a rental rather than selling it mistake
number three the first people they rented it to was a young couple with several small children I don't even
think they made it a full month before telling my parents we can't stay here any longer things come out of the walls
at night and scare the kids I'm sorry things come out of the walls at like things or people several things
apparently yeah or things I hate it I hate it here uh I made a mental note to myself I don't
even know if I'll ever be at there at night but never ever fall asleep at the murder house that's a dope mental not
that is back then write that down my mom was part of a women's prayer group group
so after hearing the news of demons in the walls no real surprise there she and her lady friends went through the murder
house room by room praying over it blessing it and binding any evil spirits in the name of Jesus Christ Ash this is
the Christian equivalent of a good saging I got you girl after that my parents were successful in renting out
the home in 1988 my mom's oldest brother and his wife bought the murder house and
moved into it I remember my aunt asking my dad if he could go under the house and cover any exposed pipes she
explained because an animals keep getting under there and bang on the pipes it keeps us awake all night that's
not animals baby my dad had a blank look on his face and responded along the lines of uh there aren't any exposed
pipes under your house another time my aunt and uncle invited our family over for a movie night they had a big screen
TV that fac their bed so the adults all piled on the bed while my brother and I sat on the floor leaning against the
foot of the bed to watch the show at some point during the movie a huge frigid gust of air came up through the
floor beneath my brother and me we were startled by it as it shot past us towards the ceiling we literally had
chills running up and down our spines we asked our aunt and uncle if they had turned on the AC nope no AC scared out
of our minds my brother and I leapt off the floor and into the bed I remember the adults complaining the adults
complaining about not having enough room for all of us on the bed but my brother
and I simply refused to go back down on the floor I don't blame you my aunt and uncle only lived there for a couple of
years my last memory inside the murder house was a time when I was hanging out with my aunt I wasn't feeling well so
she had me lay down on the couch in the living room while she worked from home somehow I fell asleep even as I type
this my brain is screaming you never wrote down your dope mental thought you didn't write down that dope mental note
I remember waking up with a start with a start as dusk was falling I couldn't believe I hadn't died or been tortured
by a wall demon nevertheless never again would I let that happen almost every day
from the time I was 11 until I moved out of my family home at 18 I would jog the
three milei Loop that consisted of my street two side streets and demoray drive every time I neared the murder
house I would jog along the opposite side of demoray drive and watched the house with a steady side gaze as I
neared it and then passed it I always felt like the house was watching me back in preparation for this listener tale I
had a couple of details that I simply couldn't pin down I spent hours literally hours researching online with
zero success so I resorted to calling my parents hey Mom I know this is out of the blue but do you remember when Dad
took us to the house on demoray For the First Time The Murder House of course I chuckled to myself at the involuntary
note of of disgust in her voice as she said of course do you remember what year that was or how old I was goodness mom
answered maybe 10 I don't remember the year let's ask your dad my dad wasn't sure the year either he was certain he
bought the murder house from Floyd in the mid 80s though and he knew that my aunt bought it in 1988 dad chuckled when
I told him that the house was back on the market with no mention of a garage murder and that it had gone through
several owners over the years he said that he wasn't surprised at all dad wrapped up our little trip down memory
lane with a touch of a astonishment about Floyd man I can't believe he was in our lives what a great end note on
Floyd like [ __ ] can't believe we knew that man can't believe we knew that man like damn what a guy to
know I love that [ __ ] Floyd So ladies the moral of my story is this keep it weird but not so weird that you
accidentally expose your kids to the horrid smell of human decom In The Heat Of Summer but do keep it so weird that
you are honest and calm about answering all of your kids rambling murder questions
but not so weird that you decide to buy said murder house and then rent it to an
unsuspecting young family with little kids who wake up to Demons coming out of their walls yeah and certainly don't
keep it so weird that you then sell the home to your in-laws who invite you over
and expose you and your own kids to cold ghostly air and banging pipes and don't
keep it so weird that you watch the house that's watching you as you jog by every day and definitely don't keep it
so weird that you let a possible serial killer be a part of your family's lives yeah don't keep it that weird bye hide
oh you know what Heidi this house does have creepy Vibes just looking at it [ __ ] went down you see it [ __ ] went down

Elena I do I do know that so here it goes one of my kids was born haunted yay can you guess which one it was just for
funsies I'll insert a pick of each of them and you can feel them out I want to see all right so first we have Lane he
doesn't give me haunted Vibes no Lan is just a little little poopy L is just like I want to smush the picture we see
is just like this beautiful little bab in a little basket and he has a lamb and he has a lamb and then there's Watson
with a cool sick ass shark hat and matching shark shorts I might be Watson I think it's Watson but then there's
Ellis in an elf costume they're all so cute that I want to scream at the top of my
lungs I don't know something I feel Watson I feel Watson but then something is also telling me
Ellis yeah I could see Ellis too there's nothing like distinctive that I'm like that is a haunted baby The Vibes I feel
it's just Vibes I'm going Ellis I'm going with Watson all right let's go let's go do you get any creepy vibes
from them yeah I didn't either but that middle one oh did I get I got it Watson in the cute ass hat and the shark
panties is the one he must have shared my womb with his many Spirit friends because no lie the day we brought him
home was the day the activity began in our house I knew it was Watson this joke ER put us through the ringer so walson
was born January 9th 2017 we got a Cappy hey maybe that's what it was I felt the
vibe with him The cppy Vibes me and Watson together forever yeah I had a fast and easy labor eight hours how fast
so quick God he was born after four pushes with the most perfect round head uh at 9 PB even damn mama that's wild
good job my biggest baby out of all three of them we were over the moon and were so happy to be going home to start
our new adventure as a family of four I felt super confident going into this second baby and I was less anxious and
way more prepared it helped me a lot that we also waited 6 years in between kids oh yeah although I did think to
myself what the [ __ ] am I doing I have a six-year-old at home that can wipe his
own ass and make his own Pop-Tart and sleeps all night and I'm starting this [ __ ] all over again I could literally
leave this kid at the hospital and walk away oh oh postpartum intrusive thoughts
I was just going to say that's exactly what it is the immediate thought of like oh
[ __ ] that's a whole person like I am responsible solely for this thing so much fun alas we did bring his little
cute ass home and we quickly fell into a routine yeah don't feel weird if you ever think that when you have a baby
everyone has that moment of like oh [ __ ] that's know that's a whole last person
and I have to bring it home and keep it alive forever and keep the other one alive if you got it that's the thing you
got it you through one so when he was about a week old I got up after feeding at around 2:30 a.m. and went into the
kitchen to wash the bottle where I found our side by-side refrigerator wide the [ __ ] open oh [ __ ] thinking it may have
been my six-year-old Lane I closed the fridge and went to his room prepared to scold and found a little angel sleeping
in his bed with no snacks to be seen anywhere near him not near not near a crumb of the lip or sticky Jell-O
fingers so I chocked it up to being a weird happening maybe my husband accident accidentally left it open on
one of his late night food bingers after smoking his Devil's lettuce because anxiety although after questioning him
about it he denied the this claim a couple weeks later I was sitting out in the living room with both my boys Lane
had his toy box out here and we were just lounging around toys were scattered all over as they do eye roll I noticed
this uh I noticed that one of his RC cars was lit up which was weird because I had recently removed the batteries cuz
things with noise get on my nerves I had to break the news to Lane and just tell
him that it was broken slap's hand bad mom no way but I'd be damned if this thing wasn't lit the hell up I got up to
check it and remove said batteries again thinking my husband baned against me and
put them back in to gain parenting points with Lane as I bent down to pick it up that thing drove across my living
room into the dining room I looked at Lane and he looked at me I looked at Lane and he looked at me he did not have
the controller I did not have the controller who has the controller the spirits I went over to pick it up the
lights had turned off at this point no [ __ ] batteries were in there I threw that thing in the trash immediately no
possessed toys in my house no way as the weeks went on and turned into months we
were still having weird Phantom toys speaking driving by themselves and the occasional kitchen cabinet open in the
middle of the night that gives six sense and I don't like that the cabinets though are better than the refrigerator
well for like you know like in I'm just thinking practices yeah sorry I could not get the word perishables out of my
face I'm just thinking practicality wise it's like okay but it's way scary yeah no the six sense scene where he is
sitting there with his hands on the table and all the cabinets are opened and he takes his hands off and it's like
the hand prints and the sweat yeah too much actually my hands are kind of sweaty right now thinking about it I
hate that I'm a little stressed sense [ __ ] me up still to this day oh yeah that movie is [ __ ] but we were
learning to live with these weird happenings but then things started to get a little more weird I posted a
picture on my Facebook one day of Watson he's always had these huge blue silver eyes that look too big for his head I
love them me too my great aunt commented on this particular picture of him I should point out that this great aunt
was very spiritual practiced white magic and and once had a ghost friend that she
claimed was a Cherokee Native that followed her everywhere I love this Aunt I do too I want to be this aunt she was
very eclectic and I always enjoyed interactions with her and hearing her stories she posted that Watson's eyes
were beautiful and that he can see more than we can oo that's cool she got the vibes from the picture okay Aunt Jan
thanks for that I took it with a grain of salt but didn't like the idea that my big eyed baby was seeing ghosties and
spirits but alas I believe she was great baby mypp b go baby when Watson was about 5 months old and been brought to
my attention uh by my husband that I had developed this new annoying habit of snoring I and I didn't believe him so to
prove him wrong I paid $29.99 for an app and quickly learned he ain't no liar crying Emoji so now I felt obliged to
continue to use this thing so I didn't feel like it was a waste of money at night it would begin to record oh no no
no no oh I'm so excited I always think that I want to do that to like hear if my snoring is that bad but I'm not going
to I might do it someone died in my house so I'm not doing I'm going to do it did I nobody died right here I don't
I don't know maybe you don't know I don't know you should look into that I should look into that well anyways at
night it would begin to record when it detected snoring or snoring like noises it kept a log of what time it was when
these noises took place I would wake up in the morning and scroll through my snores and listen sometimes we got the
occasional fart and it would brighten my day I love you so much we would be friends I love farts and snoring and you
so on this day I was listening to my little sound bites and got to one that had the time SP stamp of 3:03 a.m. I
love that it was 30:3 like that band yeah I'm listening to it but I don't hear snoring what I do hear is what
sounds like something sitting down on my bed and an aggressive breathy sounding whisper says watson no I don't [ __ ] with
that no I would throw hands with a spirit if they said my kid's name like that i' be like I'm going to [ __ ] you up
yeah like don't say my kid's name O I don't like it now walson was still in our room at this point he slept right
beside me every night my phone recorded on a side table between me and his baby bed I immediately woke up my husband and
demanded to know if he was up last night with Watson he said he hadn't woken up at all let alone go sit on the side of
my bed and talk to Watson this freaked me out this was not okay something was trying to get my baby's attention and I
am not okay with this no I don't blame you I reached out to a medium I was scared as it was but definitely didn't
want negative energy trying to get my baby and I knew I needed to know if he was safe have yall have y'all not seen
Paranormal Activity too I have I have not I know what's up not today demons no way we sat up uh excuse me we set up a
meeting with the medium and she came to the conclusion that Watson did attract spirits but from what she could tell
they were harmless and mostly familial fun side note I found out after Watson was born that my great grandpa had a
twin brother that died at four years old and his name was D Watson whoa that's crazy that you just felt compelled to
name your child that too this made me feel lots better about it but we had a Stern talk to the ghosty after that that
there will be no talking to the baby I didn't have any other issues as far as that was concerned still the occasional
toy the occasional cabinet that was old news at this point flash forward to a few months later Watson's now walking
Watson is adjusting to sleeping in his own room and it is not going great oh I feel that I mean damn it was worse than
when he was a newborn he would always wake up screaming and most of the time end up in bed with me and Eli when I say
most of the time I mean every night oh I feel this so hard after one of the worst
nights we had with him I was cleaning around the house checking things off my list one by one vacuuming was done
kitchen cleaned so I went on to my next chore to clean and dust out our mantle above the fireplace above the mantle
there's a mirror that doesn't get much attention because no one can reach it without being on a stool as I'm dusting
the mantle I noticed something on the mirror it's kind of waxy like one of those crayons you get with your Easter
egg die kits I see a w and then an A and then a TS o n something/ someone has written my baby's name on this [ __ ]
mirror nope I'm freaked the [ __ ] out I call my husband at work and demand to know if he did it why would I do that
Casey it's very a very valid question why would I ever he's right he'd never do anything like that I called Tain
who's only six and asked if he did it the kid barely knows how to spell his own name so of course he denied it plus
he would never have been able to reach out there up uh up there talk about freaky we left the house and I got some
Sage I'd never cleansed my home before but something had to be done I read Sage for dummies and got to it I felt
accomplished be gone you intrusive spirit and stop being so obsessed with my baby why are you so obsessed with
Watson why are you so obsessed with him things really tapered off after the sage
Watson still had issues sleeping in his room and didn't willingly sleep in there
until his little brother Ellis moved in last year ha Watson sleeps in there with
Ellis so that Ellis won't be afraid like he was my heart Watson has told me that
he used to see monsters in his room and that's that's why he would cry he's also
told me that I'm not his real mom and that his real mom died in 1984 but he still loves me oh wow and then she wres
okay child thanks for that okay child oh my God as he's gotten older and began taking an interest in other things like
sports and school he really hasn't talked any craziness lately we are thankful for that me too he's growing up
to be a kind handsome boy and only a little haunted young man I'll attach pictures of the mirror for you guys as
well as a video I took of him where you can clearly see an orb fly from his head
I wish I still had the recording of the whisper but apparently the app deletes sound bites after 28 days and I didn't
know that at the time sad face thank you for taking the time to read about my spooky boy I hope I did a good job
writing all of this out you did writing was never my thing and we'll continue to
not be my thing lots of love to you guys I will be tickled pink if you choose to
read this on your podcast love and light always Casey I love this story oh my God
I love it so and I'm so obsessed with these little little goofies and it says watson for sure oh yeah you could see
that clear as day that's really upsetting it's really upsetting oh my gosh he's so cute though all of them are
so freaking adorable let me see hold on oh yeah it definitely does it says watson yep that's that's Watson right
there that says it that's really upsetting I'm downloading I had to download the video to see if it will
work my goodness let me see if this orb is flying from this baby's head him's got a Jumpoline him's got a
jump aine okay um oh [ __ ] did you watch the [ __ ] video oh my God hold on it just
went away look up here it literally flies out of his head and away that's wild damn I've actually never seen anything
like that Watson it literally comes like straight out of his head he is so cute I
that was such such a wild Journey oh my God that's and I'm obsessed with all three
of those little muffins and they have really great names they do L Watson and Ellis like those are cool Brothers right
there and they all go really well together they do they flow really well yeah so I think we have time for one
more I would do one more let's party uh do you want me to do a cautionary tale for runners and joggers or the man in
Black and the glitching lights I think you know the man in Black and the gling lights I knew you
knew I knew you knew so this says hello spooky ladies my name is Kate yes you can use my first name and I'm a longtime
listener of the Pod I started listening back in covid times and fell in love with your podcast as I was dealing with
the stress of navigating my first year of teaching during the pandemic holy [ __ ] you're another hero another one
side note we have we have three Heroes here yeah we got an ER an ICU nurse a mom and now we have um a teacher damn
brought to you by Heroes hero side note thank you so much for the respectful way
you always talk about teachers having been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism speculation negative comments
and even a couple of punches no joke I want you to know I truly appreciate it I love my job but I'd be lying if I said
it was easy to honestly teachers I'm I'm don't I don't say that lightly I think you have one of the hardest jobs on
planet Earth you absolutely do also Kate I will throw hands for you I'll throw hands for you your podcast also helped
me stay grounded while I was dealing with postpartum depression last year as a first time Mama I'm so sorry you went
through that too my therapists actually recommended I listen to something comforting when I felt like I was not in
control and somehow your true crime stories did the trick not sure what that says about me but thank you nonetheless
I'm glad I'm glad we could help you get through it I appreciate your sense of humor and wit the detail you put into
each case and the dignity you give to each victim I think the True Crime genre can sometimes fall into sensationalizing
the crazy murderers out there so I'm grateful that your podcast sheds light on the wonderful people who were taken
from this world too soon but I also love how much you how much you [ __ ] talk the
peaches pieces of literal human garbage that commit these crimes the amount of f
bombs I casually drop may have increased since I started listening to your podcast I'm not mad about it we should
put like a like a side effect warning out I know I'm sorry side effect attached you will find a size 14 double
space puer Oh you get it if you read it on the show I might literally die in the
best way possible don't do that you can feel free to trim this down as needed seriously I'm an English teacher with
ADHD so brevity is not my forte and you will find several parenthetical injections throughout like this one the
story is about 10 to 11 minutes long perfect also sorry for adding like 10 minutes just to the introduction
consider this my pre-show banter anyway on to my spooky story about The Man in Black that haunted my childhood home
let's [ __ ] go let's go subtitle am I haunted possessed being punked by an old timey ghost I hope the ladder I like a
punking ghost and an old timey ghost before we get into the spooky stuff you need a little background info you know
setting the scene with a little imagery some tasty details and a Sprinkle of facts that might come back later a nice
Exposition Sunday if you will it's like an exposition dump I have always had a super close connection with my Dad we
looked alike we acted alike and we both struggled with anxiety yet always managed to look on the bright side of
things my dad and I could finish each other's sentences had some of the same mannerisms and enjoyed a lot of the same
Hobbies my biggest compliments I've ever been given are that's something your dad
would do slay and you're just like your dad oh that's so sweet I know I love that we had a few more things in common
but more on that later unfortunately my dad passed away last year I'm so sorry it's been hard to keep positive without
him and our family has sort of Fallen apart as of late oh I want to give you a hug I know it's been even more difficult
raising my son without him around to see my dad passed away a few months before my son was born oh my God he does see
I'd like to think that I'm carrying on his legacy of being kind light-hearted and silly in a world that wants you to
be anything but wow like yeah everybody listen to that that last paragraph wasn't necessarily important to the
story I just wanted to gush about how awesome my dad was for a minute do it anytime yeah I think he'd get a kick out
of this story being featured on the Pod well first he'd probably say what's a podcast I mean I taught the man how to
copy and paste on at least five occasions and it never stuck but I digress that's such a dad thing oh yeah
I've been debating on whether I should submit my listener tale for a while now and something compell me to finally just
start typing it as I type this it's actually Father's Day so maybe the universe is trying to tell me something
definitely anyway our connection was always super strong one day when I was in my late teens I was driving my my dad
home after we gotten dinner it was night time so the street lights were on and we
had the windows down as Dad blasted The B-52s from this crackly R stereo of a crummy my crummy beat up Saturn Rock
Lobster he insisted love it we pulled into our neighborhood the curved streets lined with street lights casting their
warm yellow glow we passed the house with the yippy Yorkie and suddenly the street light went out I sigh this had
happened to me before in fact it had happened quite often since I started driving I could not recall a single trip
in which at Le at least one street light didn't go off as soon as I passed it huh
wow it was usually more than one on occasion it was a store sign huh once I sh once I [ __ ] you not while waiting at
a red light after leaving my friend's house at 1:00 a.m. the red light changed and not but not to Green to nothing at
all what so when this street light went off with my dad in the car I wasn't phased I really didn't think anything of
it it was just some weird coincidence or maybe I was part robot and I gave off some kind of weird interference I don't
know but as we passed the house with the Blue Shutters another street light went
off my dad turned the music down and said sorry for what I asked the lights they always go out when I drive by he
replied oh [ __ ] they go out when you drive by I asked I just turned onto my street when I said this our house was at
the very end of our street it wasn't a super long street but there were probably four to five street lights on
either side of the road as we drove past the first one every single light went out at the same time like someone had
just pulled the plug on our neighborhood when I pulled into our driveway our porch light went off too the [ __ ] fun
fact the switch for the porch light was on it literally never worked again the whole time my parents lived there they
called an electrician once and everything it was never fixed what I turned off the engine and we both sat
there for a minute this was that was the first time we realized that we'd both been experiencing this as the years pass
we'd find out that it wasn't just the lights that would turn off we both had trouble keeping our cell phones because
ours would randomly die RP my first purple razor oh a favorite pastime of ours was watching movies and it was just
when it was just the two of us sometimes the TV would turn off on its own the [ __ ] my husband has told me so many
times that I'm cursed when it comes to technology things just always glitch around me but the street lights turning
off I guess that had been happening to my dad for years and I'd never really noticed he never said anything to anyone
about it I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed but thinking back to our family car trips I was definitely a sleepy
passenger especially if it was dark outside as we sat in the driveway my dad asked me did Mom ever tell you about the
man in Black no he was not talking about Johnny Cash or Will Smith this is the story my dad told me I later got more
details for my mom which I'll throw in there too my brother refused to talk about it I think you'll see why uhoh I
was born on the East Coast what but my family is originally from Ohio when I was an infant my parents moved us back
to Ohio in a small farm town kind of in the middle of nowhere and parent my parents both worked in restaurants so
money was tight we rented a small two-bedroom house in this Farm Town my brother was three at the time and he got
one bedroom to himself since I was only months old I was sleeping in a bassinet in my parents room within a few weeks of
moving in that summer my parents started to notice something wasn't right it started off small a glass of water my
mom swore she set on the table would suddenly be on the bathroom counter the cabinet door that my dad shut would be
open the next time you walked into the room just little things that made you question your sanity a bit but didn't
make you think much of it plus my parents were hardworking sleep-deprived parents of two young kids maybe they
were just imagining things this one on for weeks but by Autumn things started to get more sinister sinister B Sinister
BBE one night while my dad was at work my parents worked opposite shifts my mom was watching TV while my brother and I
slept she heard me crying from the bedroom so she turned off the TV and went to check on me she opened the door
to the bedroom only to find me fast asleep then she heard crying from my brother's room only it didn't sound like
like a three-year-old's cry it sounded like a newborn baby the [ __ ] little freaked out my mom went into my
brother's room he too was asleep oh I hate that a lot pretty soon cabinet doors would open on their own right in
front of my parents coffee cups sometimes fell out of the cabinets my brother wouldn't sleep alone anymore so
he slept out on the couch with my mom my mom pretty much always fell asleep in the chair in the living room anyway she
was quite the snorer and preferred to sleep upright my mom says one afternoon her cup of coffee slid quickly off the
coffee table and shattered onto the floor according to my dad my mom wanted to move out from the first Supernatural
incident my dad convinced her to stay rent was cheap and they couldn't really afford to move out plus we lived really
close to my grandparents who were frequent babysitters and helped when my dad had to leave for work before my mom
got home the final straw was when my grandma was watching us in between my parents shifts my grandma a very
religious woman won't talk about this event either so I'm just going to go off what my mom told me I was napping and my
brother was playing in the front room which was kind of a little foyer that was treated like a playroom separate
from the living room my brother had his Hot Wheels cars and was playing by himself as my grandma wasix fixing him a
snack my grandma who was clear across the house heard what sounded like a man's deep laugh followed by my
brother's screaming oh [ __ ] that when my grandma got into the front room my brother was in the fetal position in the
corner crying and hugging in his knees my grandma asked him what was wrong he wouldn't answer she scooped him up and
held him until he calmed down a second then he said the man in Black won't leave me alone
oh my grandma W I just got chilled I hate that my grandma looked around the room and didn't see anyone the front
door wasn't locked a common stupid small town thing so my grandma thought maybe someone had come in while she was in the
kitchen for context the foyer was separated by small by a set of small wooden doors like you'd see for a closet
so it's not Unthinkable that the front door could be opened without my grandma seeing it my grandma asked my brother
what the man looked like but all he would say was he was the man in Black and he had a black hat so my grandma
looked outside but saw nothing my grandma got my brother calmed down on the couch just in time to hear the same
deep laugh again this time it was coming from the room where I was sleeping according to my mom my grandma said she
found me lying in the bassinet with my eyes wide open but almost like I didn't register that she was looking at me
there was no signs of any man like you were looking at something else needless to say when my mom got home from work my
grandma insisted that we move out uh my she told my grandpa who was a very protective who was very protective
in a man of action and he convinced my parents to move in with them until we found a new place those are some good
grandparents for real they're like get the [ __ ] out of there in fact the house
we moved into was actually bought under my grandpa's name since my parents couldn't afford to buy it and break
their lease my parents had that house until 5 years ago what a good set of parents that's a good fam as my parents
were packing our things from the haunted house my dad checked the attic in the ceiling of my parents bedroom to see if
we'd stored anything there once up there he realized they'd never ever even checked out the attic in in the first
place and the only thing up there was an old dusty box he took the box to the dining room table wiped off the top
layer of dust and remove the lid no inside were several very old black and white pictures they were not ours and my
dad guessed that they had been left by the owner of the pre or the previous renter there were a couple of family
photos some pictures of a farm and one picture of a tall man in a black suit with a black hat he was staring right
into the camera with a blank face my dad said he had large bushy eyebrows that almost looked furrowed giving him a
menacing demeanor in his hand he held a lantern the lantern was not lit he had a
feeling that this man was the man in Black he never asked my brother to look at the picture because he didn't want to
scare him a little worried that he would disturb whatever spirit this was if he took any of the pictures he put them all
back in the box and put the box back in the attic smart the door of which was the ceiling of my parents bedroom right
above my bassinet and if you remember my mom slept in the living room with my brother so only my dad and I slept in
that room right under the man in Black's photo with the unlit lantern yep now my
dad didn't necessarily believe in the Supernatural all that much which is probably why he didn't feel the same
sense of urgency my mom did when she asked to move out so I don't think he came to the same conclusion that I did
but I feel like the man in Black might be the origin of the lights going out around both me and my dad we shared a
room with the Man's picture so maybe we shared a room with his Spirit I'm not really sure how ghosts prefer to haunt
people but maybe we were both a little haunted by the man in Black it's a pretty harmless haunting if you think
about it the whole glasses falling off shelves thing didn't follow us to our new home just the lights going off here
and there I think I can handle that my brother still won't talk about it so I don't know if the lights go out for him
too as for me I'm very happy that I don't remember a thing about that house or all the crazy [ __ ] that happened
there for real I'm grateful that my mom and my grandparents insisted on getting us out of there before anyone got hurt
and I'm happy my dad can still laugh through it all seriously even telling me that story in the car was almost like he
was telling a joke or like he was just telling me about what he did over the weekend he so casually told me about how
we lived in a haunted house for months and then was like well I'm going to bed see you oh and yes street lights still
go off when I drive by them the computer I'm using will randomly turn off and won't turn on again until my husband
turns it on and then it magically works just fine wow I like to think it's my dad saying hello especially when I'm
watching Jeopardy which my dad and I watched and played against each other all the time and then the connection
from the antenna will glitch and make the screen freeze just at the right time time so I can't answer the question it's
my dad getting the last laugh like always that's awesome I love that so yeah that's the story of the Man in
Black and the Glitchy lights I hope you enjoyed it and if you're reading it thanks so much for taking the time keep
being awesome and keep it weird but not so weird that you freaked out by lights randomly going off it's just an old
timey Man in Black having a good time [ __ ] with you or my dad saying hi from the other side okay bye bye
