Mish MOS BOS their overall slate and so will this listener tale there you go let's start it off
brother are you ready ready okay all right it's listener Tales I heard you like cat ghosts I do I mean yeah I
prefer the living cats uh but if I if all I can get is a ghost cat then yeah and if I'm going to get a ghost a cat
might be kind of cool that's very true I agree all right let me open this bad Larry up all right this is from Chris
Chapman and they say yes you can use my name or any other names in this story but especially the pet names because
they are asri amazing Aster oh I'm excited to hear your pet names I'm excited too hey ashina and the rest of
the podcast crew obviously I love you guys and your show I love the way you add levity and humor to each case the
way that you tell us about the victims so that we can almost get to know them and the way you insult the villains that
take them from this world too soon thank you for appreciating that thank you also
y'all are snarky AF and I'm here for it yeah we are I'm glad you're here for it I appreciate you for taking the time to
read this even if if it doesn't make it to the show well guess what Chris it's on the show Chris guess what antie Chris
it's me Todd cranes and you're on the show there you go I have a lot of stories that I could share but most of
them are fairly traumatic and I would much rather share one that might bring someone some comfort or make them smile
although I have some stories about my dog befriending the ghost that lived in our apartment this one is about a ghost
cat this is a pretty heartwarming story but I'm getting ahead of myself we want the other ones too yeah for context I
said context so weird for Conta contact I am coming from the Evangelical to Witchcraft pipeline hello religious
trauma what a pipeline that is a pipeline indeed and my mother and grandmother on her side have always been
abusive I'm sorry I'm sorry and I'm no longer in contact with either of them good they loss however this grandmother
says she's a witch and has always said that I was as well and that we come from a long line of witches she would say
this with a with a level of sincer she rarely ever showed anyone and I've always taken this to Heart she's also a
pathological liar so although the words she said and the levity in which she said them were convincing I always held
these statements Loosely I'm obsessed with your realness like you're just like let's be honest though she was a
pathological like she was a real one but also a pathological liar my dad's mother
I call Nana and she is everything that is right in the world there are no witches on her side of the family but
nana and her house were always full of love a nana I love that before I was born she had adopted two kittens one she
named Peggy Sue Peggy Sue after a song that was popular when she was young and the other Leroy shut up Leroy and Peggy
Su obsessed my God Peggy Su was a smart protective and Sassy Calico who would bite someone if they deserved it such as
being racist or homophobic good for Peggy Sue also I think I know what song You're I I think I do too Peggy Su Peggy
Su is that the who is it by I don't know that's going to bother me it's not a Buddy Holly song could be
that's imagine that imagine that ghost was just playing while we're talking about ghost topical look at that oh it
is Buddy Holly what look at me everybody check you out I only remembered that because my youngest you um for a time
when she was little would only be soothed by playing Buddy Holly song M the especially the
everyday it's getting closer she loved that that was a banger so she she had great music taste from the start so
Peggy Sue I love it now Leroy was not the brightest cat but he was big and soft and full of love and when I was a
kid I would find him where he was napping and lay my head on his big stomach as if he were a pillow if he
minded me he never let me know and I'm not sure he would have even known how to bite someone Leroy was and his Spirit
still is a big softy I love Leroy I love him the fact that you could just lay on
him like a pillow all right oh that's Leroy everybody pour one out for L truly these cats lived happy and Charmed Lives
having their every need and uh desire met until they died in their sleep peacefully at a very old age I was 18
and Leroy was 19 when he died and Peggy Sue lived to be about 21 wow I was about
20 years old their deaths their deaths were very hard for me not only because I loved them so much but I had never known
life without them I know that always makes me so sad I know that's how the girls felt with Bubba yeah exactly
although I knew it was naive even then some part of me had always thought that no matter what I would always have Leroy
and Peggy Sue something tells me you always will have Peggy Su and Leroy yeah and I don't think that's naive no not at
all Fast Forward about a decade and some change my husband our dog and I buy a house his his full name is Aussie paorn
aie pbor you read that right this is I'm not you guys are doing it right your whole family is doing pet names right
Aussie pawor ausborn forever oh my God I love it we named him after the iconic singer because he once snatched a wig
right off my husband's grandmother's head and ran around their house with it and if that's not the Crazy Train I
don't know what is yes aie mopes around the house presumably missing the apartment ghost and doesn't act in any
way like this new to us and yet very old house is haunted we take this as a good
sign and go on about our lives now is a good time to mention that I'm a chronically ill girly I'm sorry and that
I live in constant pain I'm even sorry yeah I still work and I muddle through okay but about a year into the house and
this pain has increased to nearly unbearable amounts I feel like my organs are are being ripped apart and some days
I can barely stand oh my God I can't imagine the pain gets worse and my doctor has no idea what to do with me
that's awful that's so scary too I drink more water and some pain relieving tea and it helps but never for long I start
going to uh to bed the moment I get home from work and feel the familiar weight of my dog snuggling beside to give me
Comfort my husband works nights and soon after he leaves I feel a cat jump on the
bed and lay right down next to my dog stop we don't have a cat but honestly at this point I'm so out of it I don't even
question it or open my eyes but this feeling of love and comfort radiates over me oh my God is this Leroy I think
it could be I feel like it's Leroy don't look a gift horse or a gift cat in the mouth am I right this begins to happen
every night aie sometimes shuffles around to accommodate the cat making room for him again we do not have a cat
as my husband is very allergic my first thought is that maybe there was a cat that had lived here before and some part
of his energy is still about the house but that doesn't seem quite right I've often heard that it's unusual for
animals to leave ghosts behind not to mention this cat feels fam I know it I feel like it's Leroy it's Leroy after a
few weeks of this someone asked uh asked me if I had a cat growing up and immediately I think of my sweet Nana's
sweetest cat Leroy yes I tell him thank you for visiting me and he ignores me except for his Big Texas cat body next
to my legs or my abdomen providing the warmth and comfort that No Ordinary Ghost can that's so precious I love it
it's such a different feeling I know eventually I find out that I need surgery all the scar tissue in my
abdomen and uterus is causing problems and if left alone could become cancer this should be terrifying but at this
point I just want to be put out of my misery I'm sorry I have the surgery five scars and the surgeon notices something
else my bladder is covered in a cystlike tissue this is an incredibly painful issue
called intertial cystitis all right I'm going to let Google say it because I am bad at saying
it intertial cystis I think I might have been right you were right all right well
I'm sorry that you found out you have that it's not deadly but it is a huge pain in the organs is what they wrote
Leroy and Aussie comfort me every day of the three weeks that it takes me to heal
my husband does not see or sense Leroy at all even though he's off uh he's taken off work to Baby me while I
recover once I'm Healed up for surgery I tell Leroy thank you again and I burn some catnip for his Spirit to enjoy oh
that was so sweet my husband somehow still a skeptic laughs at me but then once the catnip his burd something falls
off a shelf in the room I had been in as if a cat had knocked it off wow I haven't since Leroy again and Aussie
hasn't made any space for any ghost cats in a long time but it's very comforting
to know that I was right all those years ago when I thought I would never be without Leroy and Peggy Sue I'm sure
she's been around a time or two giving me strength strength and Sass somehow I just know that Leroy will be back should
I need that comfort and warmth again I may not be able to rest my head on his belly now but should I need him he will
be back snuggling me and napping with me I'm obsessed with Leroy I love it keep it weird and definitely keep it so weird
that when your organs hurt you are haunted by the cat of your childhood and that reminds you that you are not alone
and the spirit of love always continues my God the spirit of your cat from your childhood I love it that was beautiful I
love it so much and I hope you're feeling a little bit better after your surgery
damn I seriously I'm so sorry you had to go through all that but Leroy knew that
you needed like comfort and that time like he was like you're not feeling that great and then when surgery came he was
like I'll help you through this and then you thanked him with catnb which is beautiful yeah and he knocked something
off a shelf to show you that he appreciated it and that's cats and that's cats and that's on cats there's
cats in the next listener tail too and they're so cute oh my God there's more cats and there's dogs and there's does

wreck just raw dogging the tail doing The Listener tail this one is my aunt picked up a hitch hiding nope my aunt
picked up a hitchhiking murderer and didn't get yeed a listener tale that's a Survivor story I love that I also love
when you guys will put a very like dramatic story like headline and then you'll say a listener tale it's always
like a novel you know I like it a true story makes me laugh so it says Hey weirdos and crew my name is Sam and just
let me give all your flowers thank you for making a safe victim conscious podcast sprinkled with your beautiful
voices dark humor and spookiness thank you thanks I started listening a few years ago and got my my man to start
listening I always love when that happens I do too now we lovingly refer to you as the girls I love that I love
it we've bonded over y'all and often find ourselves saying I think the girls covered this one when watching her
listening to other true show I love that we're the girls like that's it I love it

building block in our own spooky households you bet that just made me so happy thank you for allowing us to be
damn also your son is so [ __ ] cute I can't even handle it as a fellow paranormal magnet I have many many ghost
stories but I don't have many true crime stories that's probably great yeah that's probably a better thing you know
I would rather have those stories true crime stories like in my personal life yeah same then one came to mind it
didn't happen to me but to my great aunt I asked her permission to share this her
story but she requested her name and the name of the city not be mentioned just in case this guy gets out I'll refer to
her as auntie and the per as the man the man I think that's a safe way to refer to them this happened in a Riverfront
desert community on the border of California and Arizona on the Colorado River Auntie lived on the California
side her backyard was literally the Colorado River and Arizona on the other side of the bank that's wild that is
wild her house was on the outside of the Town normally took about 15 to 20 minutes just to drive back to the main
Highway that cuts right through the middle of town between her house and town There's Nothing But desert
irrigation canals and farmland it's a very long hot walk back to town from where she's located I would die in that
scenario just that I don't need True Crime to happen in that scenario I would just die from the weather I just really
hate being hot and me too I just really don't like it yeah first my aunt she was
in her early 60s when this happened a short older tanned Italian Auntie who was always laughing loudly with her
sisters and always sporting her gold rings Queen love her already Auntie was leaving her house one day and saw a
swarm of police cars at the end of her street at a local Campground but didn't think too much of it as she headed down
towards town she saw a man walking down the road headed the same way she was driving here's our guy always the loving
empathetic human being she is she pulled over asked the man where he was headed and he said he was trying to get to the
Arizona side so he could H shike to another town further north and since it wasn't that far out of the way she
offered to give him a lift to that side of the river as she was headed in that direction and at this point our our Sam
has three red flags on either side of ma'am and I agree ma'am ma'am her town was a common stopping place for
hitchhikers so him telling her this wasn't too weird and he seemed pretty clean and normal something in the back
of her mind kept telling her he it was to get a really good look at the man's face so she made sure to memorize it and
what he was wearing smart lady yeah Auntie drove with the man and his backpack in the front seat no less and
she face palm Emoji over the river to an area hitchhikers frequented so he could
keep moving on he told her his name quote unquote they chatted and it was on an uneventful ride she crossed state
lines dropped him off wished him luck and thought nothing of it insert SpongeBob narrator voice I do know this
one one day later wow I so impressed cuz I love that narrative she's a SpongeBob gly Auntie's neighbor
called her and told her she had missed all the excitement at the campground the day before confused she asked what
happened her neighbor told her that someone had murdered an elderly woman in her son who was in his 50s and that the
police were looking for a man fitting you guessed it the man's description damn Dam auntie in Limitless horror
called the police and told them that she'd basically just helped this man cross straight lines like damn imagine
just being like so I'm a nice person and I might have got this person out of Dodge and didn't mean to hello 911 I
[ __ ] up oops uh she basically helped this man cross state lines and evade capture she was terrified that she would
be arrested for aiding a literal murderer Escape custody but thankfully she was not and gave the police all the
information she had the was caught shortly after yes she had to testify in court in front of him o oh that's scary
I don't like that that they made her do that my uncle rip oh rip your uncle who was a prison guard turned baith
accompanied her and sat right behind the man in court just in case he tried to attack my
on yeah he was like I will [ __ ] you up try something try itfu he didn't and my uncle also avoided
going to jail the man was tried convicted and will be eligible for parole in 2026 I like okay my G bumps I
don't like that at all he could have easily overtaken my sweet cancer ass kicking motorcycle riding jet ski riding
pontoon driving on if he wanted to she's the badest [ __ ] I'm obsessed I want to
hang out with her like [ __ ] let's go on a pontoon boat hello let's go um he could have stolen her jewelry and hurt
or killed her that is very true she thanks the angels in her back seat for watching over her and keeping her safe
also for the voice in her head telling her to memorize everything about this man so she could help law enforcement
yeah thank goodness she did intuition yeah let's walk through the red flag shall we red flag one picking up a
stranger in the middle of nowhere that's it that's the red flag the whole flag we're grateful she came out
unscathed and now endures Eternal what the [ __ ] were you thinking comments from
our family to this day bonus story auntie and I were on the phone one day and she stopped me saying hold on a
second Sammy and I could hear her talking to someone in the background about motorcycles and rides she's taken
over the years she's been all over the US and Canada on her bike with my uncle she absolutely had her own bike she was
not about to sit [ __ ] to anyone obsessed and she loved every second of it so I sat and waited Eve dropping bits
and pieces amongst her laughing and asking questions almost 10 minutes later she comes back and says sorry babe I had
to talk to this guy at the stop sign I asked her why she hadn't learned her lesson from her helping a convict vict

all right and we we Rel listener tals to make our day better exactly okay let's get into this it may seem to skip a bit
but it will all make sense in the end a short story before I get to the meat and
Poes trust me it's a WTF story that does connect to the other I met my husband in
Southern California after leaving my first husband in Florida I moved to be near my dad and stepmom I was 22 with a
2-year-old and quickly making friends friends along with a social life he was military as my ex I had a flavor what
can I say and so I would go and party with friends on post I met this guy and we started talking and hanging out quite
often he left for 2 weeks to go visit family it wasn't too serious at that point so I didn't really question the
wear he got back a week later and we were again at a party it was about 2: a.m. and we were drinking he looked at
me super serious and said hey you should call your mom who now I'm thinking dude
I am not going to marry you you do not need to talk to my parents so I said uh no it's 2: a.m. and she's probably
sleeping or something and he said no you should call her it'll be great he says this with the most charming smile yeah
that worked [ __ ] so I called my mom and who knew she answered she was out and about partying with her friends she's
loving the single life and she's recently broken up with her boyfriend of two years good for her she asked if I
was okay and if something was wrong my slightly drunk self said nah I'm just here with my friends and this guy wanted
me to call you we chatted for a few minutes catching up and he said hey let me talk to your mom and I'm thinking no
no no oh hell no this is not happening we'd only been talking for a few months hell no I told him laughing oh come on
it'll be hilarious GH again I gave in I'm not sure if it was the alcohol or the charm but he got on the phone hi
Rose were his first words now I had never told this guy about my family or my mom or even her name I don't like
that I don't like that either I quickly fell out of the chair at the table backed into a quarter and yelled who the
who the [ __ ] are you what the [ __ ] is going on yeah that's what I would do he's laughing and talking to my mom like
they were old great friends I was so lost he eventually gave the phone back to me laughing Mom what the [ __ ] is
going on she's cracking up on the other end of the phone and said I'll talk to you in the morning honey have a fun
night I'd be like no no no someone's going to tell me what's going on you need to tell me right now so turns out
when he went to visit his family in Northern Nevada he was showing his dad some of the people he was meeting in
Southern California and his dad said hold on go back to that one it was a picture of me he got up went to his room
got into his closet and pulled out a large picture and brought it back with him it was a picture of myself and my
mom from a few years back turns out that his dad was none other than the guy my mom had recently broken up with stop
they were together while I lived in Florida with my first husband I had never met him I'd never even seen what
he looked like she had mentioned that he had a son that was going into the military but that was the extent of it I
am now dating my almost was a stepbrother boyfriend what is going on here I guess that our families were
always meant to be connected because I ended up pregnant shortly after this incident happened let me tell you how
awkward our wedding was lol it's amazing that's incredible now that all that has finally been said
let's get to the reason why you're reading this my kids okay so it was the spring of 2006 and I was 4 months
pregnant with my second child my oldest who was now 3 years old at this time would tell me that a fireman would come
to his room sometimes through his window that's delightful kids scare the [ __ ]
out of me one morning I went to wake him up and found his glass light fixture on
the floor you know the ones that look like a lit up boob what it's on and the one the one with the glass stone with a
screw in the middle it was sitting on the floor with the screw in the bll side of the glass if it fell down wouldn't
the screw bounce off somewhere you'd think I thought that was very strange but the three-year-old totally believed
the firemen did it so it was okay a few weeks later I was cleaning my kitchen and I leaned my broom against the
counter to get the dust pan in the other room and I came back to my broom being 3
ft away from the counter literally standing up on the bristles alone what that would I just got chills yeah that
would freak me out I took a video of it on my old ass camera but it's been lost over time anyway a few weird things
happened and I started to get suspicious that this place might be haunted but me
I was too tired and too pregnant to care at this point I heard that my boyfriend
had to go away on business trips for a few days and while he was gone my son got to sleep with me in our big bed one
night while we were sleeping it was a full moon so a little light was shining through my window in the middle of the
night I was facing the wall while my son slept behind me on the other side of the
bed I woke up to this feeling of being stared at I slowly opened my eyes and saw my son standing next to my bed with
his little arm on my nightstand and his hand propping up his head just chilling looking at me in his soft loving gaze he
did not take his eyes off of me he had Shaggy dirty blonde hair and was wearing what looked like an oversized baby blue
t-shirt that almost reached his knees finally I became aware enough but not close to fully awake to realized that my
kid was up in the middle of the night I said hey Spud what are you doing up why don't you come back and lay down as I
was about to say down I padded the bed behind me as a motion for him to come over here only to realize that my son
was sleeping soundly in the bed under the covers huh I patted him a few times to make sure that it was really him it
was as I realized this turned back toward the side of the bed to see this other child gone this was not my son oh
my my son has dark brown hair and was wearing red and black pajamas that were pants in a shirt not a baby blue
oversized t-shirt I was shooketh to say the least my pregnant ass did not sleep the rest of the night not much happened
after that all was normal my son was born a few we a few months later we were car shopping and I apparently went into
labor I didn't want to go on a test drive because I was feeling off needless to say my boyfriend had to cut his fun
short and take me to the hospital oops 4 hours later 9 and 1/2 lb of bouncing baby boy was in my arms fast forward 3
years and my now three-year-old is hanging out in the kitchen with me talking helping me make dinner I walked
back to where he was after retrieving a dish from the cabinet and froze in my tracks I dropped the dish to the ground
and said it's you in total and utter shock he stared at me like I had gone crazy but just smiled at me I was
staring at my three-year-old son he was in an oversized blue t-shirt of his older brothers he had the Shaggy blonde
hair and was the spitting image of the little boy that came to visit me that night a few years back my son came my
son came to see me before he was born I walked over to him and gave him the biggest hug with tears in my eyes fast
forward one year and his dad and I ended up pregnant again however I lost this little angel at about 12 weeks Sor sorry
it was the most horrific thing I had ever experienced and I would not wish it upon my worst enemy me either we ended
up divorcing in 2010 and I ended up a single mom of two boys we were doing great and thriving just the three of us
in 2012 we went on vacation of Venice Beach in California and I randomly went to see a psychic just for fun I had
never done that before and it was 20 bucks so why the hell not what's the Worst That Could Happen she told me that
I would have three children now at this point I am very single and do not plan on having any more children my first was
10 lb and my second was almost as much I was not going to put my body through that nonsense again my boys were also 6
and 10 at this point I explained that I miscarried a few years back and could that be what she was talking about she
said oh no you will have three children I was like great I really wanted to hear
something that was realistic what a waste of money fast forward again four years in 2016 I know we time travel in
here I reconnected with my now boyfriend after about 6 years of it being just me
and my two boys I never thought much about having more kids he and I have been together for eight long years now
at this time we dated in high school before my first husband who was my boyfriend my senior year wow I love that
2 years into this relationship I began having dreams about twin girls this was I guess what you would call a lucid
dream the very first dream I was pregnant with them very pregnant I knew I had two girls on my belly it was
interesting to have this sensation as I had not been pregnant for 10 years I woke up and told my boyfriend about this
dream and he just laughed I did too that would be [ __ ] crazy my oldest is 16 and almost the age I was when I had him
hell to the [ __ ] no a few weeks later I had another dream this time these same
two girls were in my arms in the delivery room wrapped in their tiny little blankets and beanies I had just
given birth to two twin girls I loved them I cried with joy and woke up crying with the remnants of feelings for my
dream I told my boyfriend and he thought it was cool that I had another dream but
we still didn't think having more kids would be a great thing at our age we were both in our late 30s at this point
so we just laughed it off and went on with our Day in 2018 I [ __ ] ended up pregnant I almost died of shock I almost
murdered him lol I'm too old for this [ __ ] I was going to school fulltime working 12-hour days had my two boys
plus his 17-year-old daughter in the house what the [ __ ] were we thinking my personal beliefs in abortion were to not
have one and so here we were late 30s and [ __ ] pregnant fun fact did you know that if you're 35 or older it's
considered a geriatric pregnancy so ni what a make what a way to make a woman feel good about herself eh get this girl
a walker yeah it's like [ __ ] that thing to say a geriatric pregnancy together we
had eight children at this time from our previous relationship seven boys and one
girl age ranging from 17 to six oh my God I told my boyfriend if this was going to be another boy I would murder
him if I'm going to go through this it a damn well better be a girl I of course would have loved it either way but Jesus
another boy LOL I continued to have these dreams the next one was the two girls about 3
months old laying on the ground next to each other matching onesies and short sensory toys all around them while I was
on my belly playing with them they were always simple dreams but I always felt so much love in them being of Granny age
apparently and having this so-called geriatric pregnancy we got to find out what we were having quite early I was at
work and got the call to tell me what we were having I walked outside and video calleded my boyfriend it's a girl he
dropped to the phone and started to cry I'm sure it was because he knew he did good and would live and would Live
Another Day a girl [ __ ] is it twins slight Panic started to set in with the excitement of having a girl his daughter
had only lived with us for a few months at this point so the idea of being a girl mom was still new to me the next
dream I had was the two girls at the point where they were learning to walk about 9 months or so wild they were
standing and falling on their bottoms multiple times laughing smiling I felt my heart swell with such pride In This
Moment in my dream my girls only this time this dream was different I learned their names Autumn and Olivia I love
those nam I know those are really pretty Autumn had the light uh lighter dirty blonde hair and Olivia had light brown
hair they were playing with their toys and having the best time I had such joy and pride in my heart that I never
wanted to wake up oh my God you're like such a mom I love it I know the next dream was when they were about 2 years
old they were getting ready for bed and I was tucking them in for the night and their cute little pink and white pajamas
tucked in together I sat and watched them cuddle with each other as they fell asleep the last dream I still think
about to this day because it was the last dream I had of them together the two girls were about 5 years old at this
point their hair was close to waist length and curly identical length just different shades dark blonde light brown
they both wore what looked like Easter dresses or something you would wear to church we were walking along a path in a
park I only saw the back of them in this dream which I thought was weird but it was still so beautiful there was freshly
cut grass to the left and large developed trees to the right large enough to provide scattered shading for
the path utumn and Olivia were walking in front of me holding each other's hands and talking about whatever
5-year-old sisters talk about they were happy and seemed excited for something we were going somewhere I didn't want to
leave this moment but alas the alarm clock called and it was time to get up for work oh my God this is like
beautiful it is the next week I had my daughter beautiful 9B Olivia rain oh that's such a pretty name I love it but
this is not where the story ends oh no on to the next chapter insert creepy page turning now I have experienced many
different happenings over time my family's so used to weird [ __ ] happening that when it does we don't think much of
of it but that's for another tale ever since my daughter has been born there has been peculiar happening specifically
to her we have cameras in her room and a baby monitor because yes I am extra with
her safety I feel that one night when she was about 2 years old we heard her on the monitor but then there was
another voice she was being disturbed and began to whine then you hear a yeah that sounds slightly frustrated and then
she says no oh another time she's dead asleep and then you hear get up in the same voice her leg has been pulled so
hard that her her whole body has been moved multiple times and orbs are a regular occurrence I will throw [ __ ]
hands with this whoever the [ __ ] doing this the [ __ ] all of this is captured on
video along with a weird dude dressed in 70s style cord corduroy and a very colorful silk shirt I think he's a
jokester a weird shadow lady that likes to stalk my boyfriend when he sleeps and
my precious cat Luna that we had to put down two weeks before Olivia was born these are our resident ghosts we now
have a child ghost because these voices are of a child a young child I've attached the videos for you to see and
are welcome to share the audio if you wish [ __ ] I've never run so fast to these videos at the end of the day I
like to believe that utus here God help us with a teenage daughter and a teenage
ghost daughter if that's the case I would also like to believe that Autumn is the baby I lost all those years ago
and that she's with me in this way and finally I would like to believe that I had those dreams because they were of
her bringing Olivia to to me I got to experience being Autumn's mother and experience all those joyful Milestones
even in a dream I love that I have also attached pictures of my beautiful children because I'm completely biased
and I think they're the most gorgeous creatures on the planet and my cat Luna who still comes to visit occasionally

because oh my God I forgot I'm a direct descendant of the last woman on trial for witchcraft in Virginia I really
think that was put in there specifically for you yeah I'm just like excuse me w w
let's see it says I am resubmitting my listener Tale the time I found out the identity of the ghost who had nightly
playdates with my 2-year-old son because how could I forget ghosts and kids is the theme I was just going to say we
have a theme I'm a direct ascendant of Grace Sherwood The Witch of Pungo who was the last woman who was put on trial
for witchcraft my many times great-grandmother was the last woman in Virginia to be put on trial and
convicted of Witchcraft she faced trial by water placed in water to see if she would
float which of course she did because duh so the sheriff tied a 133b Bible around her neck and threw her back in
the water oh my God she was able to untie herself because she is a badass she was imprisoned and once released
returned to her Farm where she lived until her death at 80 years old here now stands a statue of Grace in the middle
of Virginia Beach Virginia what if you look into her she may be a per I was just going to say you might have just
given us a perfect story and I will absolutely give you credit and it's literally almost spooky season yeah
clearly I come from a long line of spooky witches hell yeah so at any rate here's my 14-point font PFA tale of the
time I found out the identity of a ghost who was having nightly playdates with my
two-year-old son damn stay spooky ladies we will you you stay spooky hey Ashen Elena my name is Cindy and you can use
my name I'm originally from California but left when I was in my 20s and have lived in several other places as an
adult it will make sense why I mention this I promise I found your podcast late last year and was instantly hooked
because your interactions in banter remind me of my best cous friend cous friend cousin best friend Stephanie back
in California I love you bches because you never failed to either have me crying laughing or yelling hell yeah the
way you tell difficult stories in a way that honors the victims and tell it like
it is you [ __ ] ass hat for you rat bastards who murdered them is epic thank you I love that I'm a big fan and have
found comfort in listening to your podcast from time to time okay all freaking time I currently live in the
south us and parttime in France the country but my husband with my husband no I can't speak French those two years
of French in high school have done nothing to help me communicate here so I spend most of my time listening to your
podcast while learning a bit of French on the side because priorities them all right I've always loved stories related
to ghosts and haunted places and eagerly sign up for ghost tours in Old cities same I've never had a personal ghost
encounter until I was in my late 20s when my friend Alissa not her real name and I were in Phoenix Arizona for a
girl's weekend there I had a face-to-face encounter in the middle of the night in our hotel room with little
glowing curly blond-headed girl who was staring at me from behind the curtain she had pulled slightly back with her
little glow stick hand this freaked me the F out so I forced myself to Blink a couple times just to be sure I wasn't
dreaming nope glow stick was still staring at me I turned to look at Alyssa's bed and whispered her name in a
shaky voice the was dark except for the glow of ghosty girl which provided enough light for me to see a Lissa in
her bed and she the covers up over her head where I heard her muffled voice say I know something is here but I'm not
taking the covers from my over my face oh cool cool cool no worries I thought I'll just chill out over here with glow
stick girl literal inches from my bed as I slowly turned my head back towards the
window I was 100% sure this little glow [ __ ] would be right by my bed with the
smile smile on her face I'm happy to report she was gone but I digress I love this little glow [ __ ] now before I delve
into the story of the time I found out the identity of the ghost who was having nightly playdates with my 2-year-old son
let me give you a little background I adopted my son from Russia wow you're amazing that is incredible when he was
just under two years old talk about a wild Tale But that is another story for another time we lived in New Hampshire
then about 40 minutes north of Boston uh and I loved loved loved New England I should mention our house was brand new
so while I understood the entire region offers homes that come with a ghost or two or 10 I didn't expect to have any
ghostly encounters one and done I'll take my doses of ghostes in the form of movies and stories I'll pass on the
interactive inperson in ghost I no show thank you very much anywh who when he first came home my son of course being
two and from Russia didn't have many words he could say but he was the happiest little guy he was always
smiling and babbling happily as he played with his toys in the living room or zipping around after our dog he also
loved Thomas the Tank Engine that theme song is etched in my brain and still gives me the eye twitch when I hear it
and ran at lightning speed from morning until night after he had been home for almost a year he was able to say many
words in English words including the names of family and his favorite toy an elephant stuffy called Horton oh that's
adorable one night after putting him in his crib I kissed my son's forehead tucked him in walked out of his room and
closed the door as I started to walk away I heard him begin to babble I thought it was strange because he hadn't
babbled for quite some time but he sound it happy so I didn't think much of it and went back downstairs this became a
nightly thing and very quickly I noticed he started to pause in the middle of the
Babbling almost like he was having a conversation with someone he would Babble pause for a bit and then start
babbling again as if in response this sequent H sequence happened for several months the first time I heard this pause
I felt the thonk in my chest because it the war yeah because it really seemed like he
was interacting with someone my already overactive imagin went into overdrive because I've seen horror movies I was
absolutely sure that there was a crazed lunatic with a red balloon hiding in my son's closet and came out soon after I
closed the door I listened intently at the door but didn't hear anyone else in the room so I calmed my ass down chocked
it up to him playing with Horton and Elsa myself down the stairs to just let it go that's a mom yep now as I mentioned
this became a nightly thing and I came to embrace it it was calming to hear how content he sounded because let's face it
the first almost two years of his life were extremely difficult and unimaginable and to be perfectly honest
a [ __ ] show he never asked to be dealt the shitty hand of cards he had been dealt at the beginning of his life and
but now he was thriving and happy and content and that's all that mattered you're a good mom you are one night
however something about the Babbling changed it was different that night after I kissed my son good night covered
him with his blanket and made sure Horton was tuck securely in the crook of his arm I left the room I waited outside
his door for his nightly Babble sash to begin with than a few seconds he began the babble but as I mentioned it was
different it sounded like he greeted someone who came into the room paused for a few seconds mixed with rustling
noises and then he started to giggle hysterically like babies and toddlers do when they're interacting with someone
they're playing with the exchange went on like this for several minutes as I stood outside his door my ear plastered
to the wooden panels and my eyes the size of saucers with the Babbling SES continuing in the strange Cadence
sprinkled with the rustling I could feel all the Color Run from my face as my chest went thonk thonk yes just like the
Law and Order sound now sensible me knew there was no one in the room with him but overactive
imagination me was fighting for control of the situation in a move [ __ ] get out
the way kind of way I put my hand on the knob and as I started to turn it the room suddenly became silent I peaked my
head around the door and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary my son was sitting in his crib with his legs
crossed smiling directly ahead of him at his eye level yeah okay that was creepy
as [ __ ] hearing me he turned his head to the door and greeted me in the same manner I had heard a few minutes prior
shudder swon he stood up with Horton still in his tiny little death grip I picked him up to give him a few more
snuggles and kisses allowing ample time for my eyes to scan every inch of the room before putting him back in his crib
for the night for the second time that night I closed the door and stood there ear plastered to the wooden panels for
what felt like five business days listening intently but it was completely silent and remained so for the next
several days about a week later we were in the kitchen and my son started crying
which was not like him at all I picked him up and asked him what was wrong though through his tears he said want
grandpa so I thought he missed his grandpa it was strange because he didn't use the word grandpa rather my son
called his grandpa pop pop but I thought maybe he had heard the word used on Thomas the Tank and hey that he must out
be absolutely brilliant to make that connection but oh no cont mon FR he hadn't heard it on the show and little
did I know what I was in store for what was in store for me also look at me over
here speaking French woot so we got him on the phone with pop pop and this was not what he wanted he
did happily speak with pop pop for a bit but when we were off the phone he started crying again for Grandpa I
thought perhaps he actually wasn't saying Grandpa at all and was really wanting something else for days my son
would endlessly cry for Grandpa and I would endlessly try to give him anything I thought he meant son crying Grandpa
you're swe here's a graham cracker not it son Grandpa here's Grover nope son Grandpa here's a YouTube video for us to
learn the Gangam Style dance you're like Alexa that just that just conjured a Furrow brow in a toddler
side eye notada weeks went by for with my son crying for Grandpa and me having absolutely no idea what he was talking
about then one day we were in the seldom used formal living room my son stopped to look at a table where I had a
collection of framed Family Photos suddenly his face lit up he pointed and exclaimed Grandpa of course there was a
photo of pop pop so I pointed and says yes that's Grandpa my son looked at me with an expression that clearly
demonstrated I knew absolutely nothing Jon Snow pushing my hand aside and excitedly pointed out a photo way in the
back of the table saying Grandpa ladies when I tell you my soul yeed the F right out of my body that
doesn't even begin to fully explain what I was feeling that moment for my son was
pointing at a picture of my father who had passed away suddenly 17 years prior at just 402 years old oh my whole body
just wmed chilling up and down my [ __ ] body right now holy [ __ ] only this photo was not of my father at
Grandpa age of course or even middle-aged dad age from 17 years prior oh no no no not even a little bit no
this photo was from my dad when he was about 6 years old oh my God exactly shout out Ash I love the way you say it
and have now started to pronounce that t and it makes me feel Regal as [ __ ] that's the thing it you get it it's
regal bab it makes me feel Regal as [ __ ] exactly but in that moment I was hit with a full understanding of what had
been going on nightly in my son's room the ghost of my deceased father's six-year-old former self had been coming
into my son's room to play with him at night are you crying I'm about to cry I heard I heard a lump in your throat I
sudden felt relief that it wasn't a red balloon yielding psychopath all all along mixed with happiness that my son
was able to interact with the grandpa he never met mixed with a sudden urge to laugh hysterically at the thought of a
2-year-old calling a six-year-old grandpa I smiled at my son pointed at the picture he was now holding in a
death grip Horton was on the floor at his feet and said grandpa and my son smiled broadly and said grandpa oh my
God he placed the picture back on the table but in the front this time from now on he would walk by it often stop
look at it and then walk away my son never had any late night babbling sessiones again and he never cried for
Grandpa more than a decade and a half later he has now lost the memory of that time but loves when I tell him the story
because he's a ghost loving weirdo like his momy during the freaking awful Russian
adoption process and when my son was first home I often wondered to my family what my dad would think of his rushing
grandson my dad was in the air Air Force and used to intercept Russian Morse code
messages wow after this moment I knew he was thrilled he was able to meet and play with this awesome little kiddo I
was a bit sad that the visit stopped but was glad they did have some sort of bonding time however ghostly it was wow
I thank you if you're still reading and if you read it on listener Tales I will absolutely pee my pants feel free to

could be a good pallette cleanser love that I love you ladies and I've been listening for about a year I used to
listen on 1.2 times speed since my brain requires information at a mindboggling pace but I was running out of episodes
too quickly and I switched to onetime speed show slow it down how much I love you since I refuse to do that for
literally anyone else I'll stop the fangirling here since my story is pretty long but just know that I Adore You Two
Saucy sorceres I'm obsessed I love her the word grandma evokes images of a gentle
woman in a well-loved apron pulling fresh baked cookies out of the oven she always insists you take a few for the
road and she's somehow even sweeter than the cookies themselves oh my God I love
it her women her wisdom her women her women her wisdom always answers your toughest questions and soothes your
deepest fears every time you visit you're wrapped in the warm hug of her familiar perfume she's a beacon of
tranquility and morality I did not have one of those grandmas I want you to picture a 410 80
lb 80-year-old in a cheetah print sweatsuit and bright red lipstick that's literally my future I hope I want to be
someone's Nana in a leopard print suit sweatsuit with bright pink or red lipstick love so much already she was
named Kitty yeah she was after all and thought it fitting to always wear some kind of cat
print she's living her massive designer purse was filled to the brim with nicotine gum and Cold Hard Cash instead
of the typical caramel hard candies I'm [ __ ] obsessed y'all can have your your other Grandma I want a kitty I love
this woman Kitty is an ion we bonded not over Family Recipes but girls trips to the mall where she'd
slip me a bed for and tell me to get whatever my heart desired what a great lady she was the cool girl my nerdy
chunky vaguely misshapen Middle School self would have never drumpt of befriending we seemed like an unlikely
du Duo her being little Miss Florida and me despising all things Sandy sunny and
summery same I knew she wanted me to grow into a little diva just like her but she'd never make me feel bad for
spending my hundred bucks on books and art supplies instead of clothes and makeup she was effortlessly Flawless her
entire life and regaled me with stories of her many suitors however she told me just as many tales of her education
career and perseverance she was one of the very first women into the US in the US to attend pharmacy school and she
went just because someone told her she couldn't that woman had a Lust For Life inspired by Spite she suffered her first
heart attack in her early 30s and had close to a dozen in the Years following but she made a full recovery each time
cigarette in hand without a care in the world Kitty was the very definition of can't get rid of me [ __ ] I learned all
my swears from her both in English and Yiddish she always had the hot Goss but the maturity to spread it without
demeaning anyone involved she did not have the maturity to abstain from making fart noises and pretending that my
grandfather was the culprit I love this woman her spirit is everywhere her parenting techniques were a bit
unorthodox even for the 60s and 70s I do not condone most of them but they make great stories and my dad seemed to turn
out okay once when he was in kindergarten he sat in a muddy puddle on the way to school so Kitty would have to
take him home and change she said well now it looks like [ __ ] yourself and sent
him to class as a mouthy teenager my dad made the mistake of calling her a [ __ ] he
immediately realized his error and turned to flee but she chased him upstairs on all fours as if possessed by
a rabid Badger grabbed his ankle and bit it what Kitty what Kitty what is going on
so when I Kitty's first and only granddaughter was born my dad was hesitant to leave us alone together you
know what I can't really blame your child on that one however having a baby girl around seemed to bring out her
gentler side each time my family made the trip to floor I'm just I cannot get the image of her running up the stairs
on all fours and biting your father's ankle like is this hereditary I love it so much each time
my family made the trip to Florida she and I were inseparable and my dad started to relax his supervision this is
how we ended up Alone Together the day this story occurred she needed to pick up from some groceries for dinner pursue
the makeup aisle or peruse the makeup she wanted to pursue the makeup peruse the makeup aisle and find some new he
heels to match her pedicure so we head it to Target while I stared cluelessly at the endless wall of beige beige gloop
and sparkly powder that somehow cost $20 an item she ranted to me about the new uh nuisances nuisances of Aging everyone
acts like I'm dumb and cranky she said I might be cranky but I'm not [ __ ] stupid she went on to tell me about how
not just scam callers but everyone takes ad advantage of the elderly true doctors
and Dentists get away with providing subpar treatment companies rely on older people's lack of tech savviness to
overcharge the list goes on but Kitty had her [ __ ] in order and always knew when someone wasn't being entirely
truthful I saw a little glimmer in her eye and immediately knew she was scheming wordlessly she took my hand
abandoned her cart and marched me toward the exit the wall of florid to heat hit
us like a truck the air d suffocating as it crawled to my lungs she made a beine
for the the Verizon store whispering to me they tried to double charge my phone bill last month [ __ ] I Knew by her
tone that she had resolved to leave that Verizon store a little richer see Kitty
realized that aging had a silver lining who's going to talk back or call the cops on a distraught old lady that's
true relevant to this story is the fact that I really really needed to [ __ ] like
prairie dogging it the entire time my tactic was to focus on a point in space and clench every muscle in my body I
look relevant to this story about 75% of my brain power was devoted to clenching
and I wasn't fully present for the following misdeeds due to the alarm Bells coming from my bowels now back to
the story as we approached the store her demeanor changed completely she managed
to make her 410 frame look even smaller slowed her Pace to a crawl and started walking with a slight limp clutching my
shoulder for support tears welled in her big brown eyes she was a force for mischief and deceit armed with nothing
but Oscar level acting she hobbled straight to the front of the line and shouted I need to talk to someone right
now I was mortified as she as she subverted every rule about manners that I had ever learned an
employee calmly responded ma'am the line starts back there we'll be able to see you soon she was not having it no way
you criminals think you can steal from us Kitty was in fact the criminal in this
situation I want to speak to the manager of this establishment this instant after pulling the ultimate Caren
we were quickly ushered to a corner desk to talk to an employee we made quite the
pair me walking like a robot eyes fixed in front of me jock ledge trying not to [ __ ] my pants and her holding on to me
hobbling and on the verge of tears a frazzled looking man sat across from us in his desk chair while Kitty and I sat
on stools as he opened his mouth she interjected how do you expect an old woman to sit on these painful metal
stools I can feel the bones in my tus I'll end up with bruises he apologized and said that she was welcome
to stand he had pressed an incorrect key I was just going to say my guy really stand I'm 93 lies and I've had two hip
replacements more lies and you want me to stand I know it just came to me he sheepishly apologized and wheeled his
own chair from behind his desk and Tra did it for Kitty stool I was in awe so ma'am I can tell you're very upset how
can we fix that I was expecting her to bring up the attempted double charge from last month but she instead
completely fabricated a brand new story she began my internet wasn't working last week so I called this Branch to
send someone to fix it I waited for hours and nobody came then two big men showed up in a Verizon van after Sunset
tears were streaming down her face and she brought her shaky hands up to wipe them as Verizon stores are not usually
places where people receive devastating news the workers scrambled to find tissues but came up empty-handed she
looked at him and whimpered you don't even have a tissue for me well I guess this will do and pulled I [ __ ] you not a
roll of toilet paper from her purse placed it on the desk and began tearing off pieces to wipe her eyes this is the
funniest [ __ ] she would later claim to me that she keeps an emergency roll on hand in case the public bathroom toilet
paper isn't soft enough for her fragile princess butthole I'm going to start doing that I've learned a lot from Kitty
in this story so what happened with these men the worker asked apparently Kitty hadn't
thought this far ahead so she instead turned up the Waterworks and wailed full volume the poor man looked like a parent
trying to quiet an infant on a plane okay okay please be quiet I'm so sorry ma'am please ma'am he frantically
stuttered instead of toning it down she took it up a notch I can't believe you'd
even ask me to tell you the horrors do you know I have a bad heart not a lie this time but why would he know that
that could explode any second before he could respond she lunged forward grabbing the poor man's
hand feel my pacemaker feel my pacemaker oh my god with ridiculous old lady strength she wrenched his hand toward
her chest as he cowered in fear pulling back his arm with all his might this of course dragged 80 lb Kitty out of the
chair and onto the desk she leaned into this and flailed legs in the air kicking
and crying while screaming get off me you par oh my God Kitty she's so reckless K Kitty is
so reckless Kitty [ __ ] invented Reckless Kitty is just wow wow Kitty I need you to step back and picture this
for a moment this does not look good for the employee there was a there was a small old lady beached on
his desk mascara snot running down her face toilet paper now on the floor and unrolling across the store while she was
the one holding his wrist nobody else could see that from behind the dividers between each desk it would appear to
anyone else that he had made the first Contact my God most of the customers had left to escape this chaos and not a
single other employee was willing to step into the map damn that poor guy the only witness to the entire thing was me
the silent awkward 11-year-old who sat through the entire encounter staring into space like the ghost of a Victorian
child sweating profusely veins in her forehead popping out from the effort of not
pooping he finally escaped her grasp and looked at kitty in horror she silently pushed herself off the desk slowly
limped to the other side of the store and retrieved her toilet paper of course she returned and began rerolling it
absent-mindedly saying you know I can't use this anymore I bet y'all don't even clean your floors wow dumbfounded he let
out a defeated sigh and asked what do you want me to do he's like please help this was clearly the question that kitty
had been waiting for I want a full refund confusion flashed across the employees face and I could tell he
wanted to scream a refund for what but I'm sure he didn't want to risk any other feel my pacemaker moments so he
simply replied okay she followed her original request up with in cash now it was the man who looked like
he wanted to cry ma'am we can't do that maybe we can wave next month's payment but no that was not good enough for
Kitty I see a register right there with dismay on his face he tried to explain that without a transaction he couldn't
open the register Kitty gearing up for another scene started yelling you scammers and was quickly cut off by the
poor man saying wait wait please he then reached out and he then reached in his back pocket for his own [ __ ]
wallet somehow knew that it was going to come to this I'm obsessed handed Kitty a
lot of cash without even counting it he's like just take it satisfied she promptly stood up cash in hand and
limped toward the exit I sat there in shock did she just [ __ ] rob this man was I an accomplice you sure were were
we both going to end up up in jail maybe my 11-year-old's brain with half-baked cognitive skills thought I was going to
be expelled from middle school and thrown into some federal prison I sheepishly whispered sorry to the man
and hurried after Kitty shuffling awkwardly like a penguin while taking the tiniest possible steps to ensure
that the log didn't enter my pants Kitty was already outside and had resumed her
normal gate counting her Loot and looking very proud of herself she saw the look in my eye and said exasperated
they tried to double charge me last month remember the gravity of the situation hadn't yet hit me and my priorities were
still on the feal matter bobbing bobbing for apples and I'm not okay my priorities were
still on the feal matter bobbing for apples in my day of the week underwear so I accepted this justification and
headed for the car my God no police ever showed up looking for us I think that man was just glad to have her out of the
store and didn't want to explain why an 80-year-old woman had called him a pervert in the end he only lost about 60
bucks I thought Kitty would be disappointed with the small sum of money but she was so focused on on reveling in
the Newfound perks of old age she was satisfied to know that every time someone tried to scam her she could scam
them right back without consequences yeah she could after that day I was no longer allowed unsupervised time with
Kitty my dad and her got into a heated argument as she bragged about her exploits immediately Upon returning home
the conversation ended with my Dad saying Jesus [ __ ] Christ mom and her responding with Jesus Christ Ain't My
Savior Kitty KY I occasionally woman she's a g she is such a g she is an original
Gangsta I occasionally think of the man she robbed that day I hope the memory brings him some amusement and not the
level of trauma that being robbed at gunpoint would oh my God feelings of guilt bubble up as I know I did nothing
to stop instead sat there creepily staring swe and completely rigid but what the [ __ ]
was I supposed to do [ __ ] myself trying to intervene a kitty ended up passing about
5 years later in 2019 thankfully before all of the pandemic craziness ensued it was hard to lose the only cool girl who
ever made me feel welcome but I'm sure she's having a grand old time causing chaos in the great beyond oh hell yeah
Kitty may not have been the wholesome grandmother plucked from a Hallmark movie but she was something better
boldness harness and bravery molded into human form she was simultaneously my guardian angel and the devil on my
shoulder always there to wipe my tears when I sobbed to her about my middle school tormentors but just as quick to
tell me to [ __ ] them up hell yeah so that's the story of the time I robbed a man with my grandpa with my grandma keep
