00:05:13
ago shout out to your mom we shared a deep love of True Crime and spooky podcasts we love to discuss whatever
00:05:19
episodes we've been listening to and listen to them together in the car or weekend mornings cleaning the house she
00:05:24
was a cool Mom no doubt unfortunately she passed away earlier this fall 4 days after her 49th birthday birthday after a
00:05:30
2-year battle with a extremely aggressive form of bone cancer oh I'm sorry sorry as a side note my childhood
00:05:37
best friend and my mom's honorary additional daughter is a mortician and a funeral director and a fellow morbid
00:05:42
listener [ __ ] bad [ __ ] ass and uh she handled everything with my mom in our service because she's a
00:05:50
freaking badass yeah she is and an amazing friend to boot Danielle if you're listening I love you and I love
00:05:55
you too I love you Daniel so I had the opportunity to go hang out with her and get my mom ready ready we wanted to play
00:06:00
an episode of your show in chat while I painted her nails and such one last little girl stay all together oh my God
00:06:07
that just sent chills like right through my body holy [ __ ] I wanted to thank you
00:06:11
guys for your roundabout involvement in that in creating a show that creates a venue to Foster connections like that
00:06:17
thank you for telling us that that like that really made my weak yeah that just I'm like [ __ ] you know like we just make
00:06:25
we just like do the show and like it's fun and you know like it's something that we love doing together but we don't
00:06:32
always think about how it reaches other people yeah and to hear it is like really shocking and humbling and awesome
00:06:40
and we're very grateful for you yeah thank you damn that was really cool to hear it's really cool thank you anywh
00:06:46
who I digress I've always been shall we say sensitive and surrounded by spooky things if y'all want I'll write in
00:06:52
someday and tell you about my experience working in a haunted old ass restaurant
00:06:56
for years please do pleas my mom was not skeptical say but definitely didn't enjoy the creep factor that I did so she
00:07:03
forcibly brushed things off and forced discussing anything per and forbid discussing anything paranormal if you
00:07:08
ignore it it's not happening love her for that ELO that being said I believe my sensitivity came from her and her
00:07:14
side of the family indigenous hippies from Oregon for the win hell yeah hell yeah we just had two different reactions
00:07:21
to it and this story may be part of why LOL when my mom was in high school approximately Circa 1990 she had a very
00:07:27
intense dream one night that she was in her choir class and their teacher came in and told them he had cancer and would
00:07:33
be resigning from teaching and shortly thereafter passed away I don't remember I don't remember exactly what it was but
00:07:39
she said she remembered something specific specific that struck her about like what he was wearing in the dream
00:07:45
for whatever reason I feel like it was his shoes but don't quote me on that she tells her mom a devout menite which if
00:07:50
you are not familiar is like Amish light it really is Amish light she so she told
00:07:56
her mom in passing about the odd dream the next day she gets class and this man walks in and like a bad case of deja vu
00:08:03
he's wearing what he had been in the dream and proceeds to tell them exactly what he had told them in the dream oh
00:08:10
that'd be [ __ ] weird that would cuz already you're like trying to process oh my gosh like he's telling me this awful
00:08:17
thing and it sounds like this is like a very beloved teacher and then you're like why did I know that why did I on
00:08:24
right now know that was going to happen that happened in a very small like knot like this but the other day when
00:08:31
somebody came here oh yeah and and something happened like so somebody came here and they went to sit in the wrong
00:08:39
seat to record Y and I had had a dream the night before that that was going to happen that's so and I was like so when
00:08:46
it happened I was like that was weird like I've never had that like on the nose yeah prediction in a dream and like
00:08:53
very inconsequential but like strange I once had a dream that somebody I was really close with in high school and it
00:08:59
was like right after high school um like something happened and like there was a
00:09:04
house fire where they lived and I woke up to the news that there was a house fire yeah see that's weird and like
00:09:09
luckily everybody was okay but I had dreamt it the night before and I remember that feeling of just being like
00:09:14
why did I know that was going to happen and I've never had anything like that crazy happen but we have things like
00:09:22
that that will happen and it comes from ma yeah it definitely does come from my mom relatable yeah well my mom
00:09:29
understandably freaks the [ __ ] out and can't decide if she has superpowers or what the [ __ ] is going on so what does
00:09:34
she do like any reasonable high school girl she thinks she's developed the ability to see the future and predict
00:09:39
deaths so she goes and tells her mom yeah my grandmother bless her heart is a staunchly conservative woman so her
00:09:44
reaction of course was to call the church in and legitimately the year of Our Lord Lord 1991 in a rural Midwestern
00:09:52
town and being distinctly not Catholic attempt them to get to exercise my poor mother oh my God she only eded in
00:09:59
traumatizing her a little bit no actual exorcism was performed but she did have to speak to the Deacon or some other
00:10:06
religious higher-ups I believe to make sure that she wasn't possessed by the devil himself TM TM I love how you wrot
00:10:13
the Devil Himself TM when it was determined that she was not in fact in cahoots with the Man Down Under This was
00:10:19
dropped like nothing had ever happened in true menite fashion and never spoken of again wow so in hindsight I don't
00:10:25
blame my mom for attempting to pointedly ignore anything spiritual the threat of
00:10:29
an exorcism has to leave a bad taste in your mouth I mean religious trauma is real that's like that's top of the list
00:10:35
religious trama now this second uh part is my story but it does connect as it involves my mother and dreams for
00:10:42
context I was not with my mother when she passed away my fiance and I were driving to be there and we're about 3
00:10:47
hours away at the time this led to a few weeks of intense Dreams and Nightmares regarding her death which my therapist
00:10:54
informed me were totally normal as my subconscious sought closure however unpleasant and that they would resolve
00:11:00
in time thanks bro very helpful just kidding we love him just when I was about at my Breaking Point with this I
00:11:07
had the dream it started like lots of others I was standing in my childhood living room and my mom was there looking
00:11:13
as she did the last time I saw her and in her wheelchair even what she was wearing the last day I saw her a few
00:11:18
days before her death I remember thinking here we go with this [ __ ] again which is odd in and of itself as
00:11:24
I'm not prone to lucid dreams at all then I heard something behind me and I turned around and there was my mom only
00:11:30
it was actually her slightly younger as I remember her from before cancer took her leg her hair and her Vitality she
00:11:37
was beautiful and whole and I don't know how to describe it Beyond her being so much more real and vibrant than the room
00:11:43
even around us that was my mom guys she looked at me and didn't say a word but there was this silent understanding that
00:11:50
I was real and she was real and the dream realm around us wasn't but it was just the venue where we had to meet in
00:11:56
this it it was just the venue we had to meet in at this time I literally have I I can't stop them she didn't say a word
00:12:03
the whole time just held me on her couch just as she did when I was a kid until I
00:12:06
fell asleep and woke up in the real world the nightmar stopped right then and there I got the closure I was
00:12:12
seeking I don't know firmly what I believe about what happens when we Shuffle off this Mortal coil but I know
00:12:18
wholeheartedly that my mama is whole and healthy and still around in her own way
00:12:22
and that she came to be my mama bear just like she always does I love that oh my God that so much
00:12:30
that the fact that she like just snuggled you like I'm going to cry I can't even yeah and after you were
00:12:35
having like these awful dreams it's weird that I read this one when I did because I went to see Long Island Medium
00:12:42
Teresa Caputo last week and the hair herself oh my God the hair I'm obsessed with that Queen but she said that there
00:12:50
was like a few people that she read in the audience who weren't able to be there when their loved one passed away
00:12:55
and she says we're you're not supposed to if you're if you're not there when it happens it's for a reason because you
00:13:02
were not your soul wasn't meant to experience that and the person like does didn't want you to they didn't want to
00:13:10
like put that on you yeah that's so comforting to people who couldn't be there cuz I'm sure that's like a massive
00:13:17
thing of guilt you know yeah damn I just thought that was interesting that she said that and then we WR this that is
00:13:23
interesting I love that story I love that you had like the the closure that you needed yeah and I love that you
00:13:29
called uh being menite Amish like I'm obsessed that I'm literally obsessed with that and the Devil Himself TM
00:13:36

00:13:42

00:16:07
my spooky experience with astral projection and a diamond in the time I asked the Forbidden question while
00:16:13
streaming yes I did that I missed the first intake of listener Tales because I typed everything out in my phone notes
00:16:20
then forgot to format and email it ADHD what are you going to do all right so let's start with lucid dreaming cuz I'm
00:16:27
very excited about this is creepy as [ __ ] let's go I did the thing I was dreaming and I knew I was dreaming
00:16:36
because since I was five most of my dreams have been Lucid by the way sorry about my voice if it sounds a little off
00:16:41
I no I love your sick voice it's a sick voice I'm struggling with it but I've been drinking tea I envy your sick voice
00:16:47
because you sound like Lilo I sound like some scary old lady who's like I love that too though I sound like Chandler
00:16:55
Bang's manager hell yeah no joy I just started watching friends I dig that um so I was watching this woman standing in
00:17:03
the sunlight she was dancing I suddenly remembered I needed to ask her the date and time so I blurted out hey do you
00:17:09
know the date and time her Serene face shifted abruptly and she stopped dancing the sunlight seemed to lose its shine
00:17:16
and the woman began yelling and sprinting towards me you [ __ ] why would you ask that I hate that I was afraid so
00:17:22
I did the thing I usually do to wake up and counted to five this time however instead of waking up I shifted into
00:17:29
another dream in this dream I was wandering up and down bright white stair classes stair classes I realized that as
00:17:37
I was you can probably see my I'm like stair classes that's not what that says you wrote staircases I said stair
00:17:44
classes bright white staircases reminiscent of the Topsy Turvy ones from the final scene in The Labyrinth Allah
00:17:52
de You Were Meant to read this one I was I wasn't alone here either there were people dressed completely in white
00:17:58
Contin continuously traveling up and down the stairs their faces were blank with emotion and as I'm typing I can't
00:18:04
recall their exact features however I was outnumbered 100 to one I had many a weird dream in my life but this is the
00:18:11
first time I've been dropped into a dream that didn't have at least a point of fam familiarity I was curious as to
00:18:18
where these staircases would lead so I assimilated myself into marching up and down the stairs good for you I only to
00:18:25
find myself on a staircase above more marching people dressed in white there didn't seem to be an end to the
00:18:30
stairs and I realized I must be stuck in a loop of sorts it occurred to me that maybe this was my punishment for asking
00:18:36
what the date and time was that's terrifying really scary so in typical me fashion I decided [ __ ] this I stopped in
00:18:46
my tracks turned around looked at the blank faces faces of the matching P pedestrians dressed in white and shouted
00:18:52
hey what's the date and time it was like a shock had gone through the crowd the steady sound of marching ceased
00:18:59
immediately oh and they just just like the woman before from before the people dressed in white stopped dead in their
00:19:07
tracks 100 unrecognizable faces shot their eyes to me faces contorting in Rage they opened their mouths and where
00:19:15
the normal parts of the mouth should be AKA teeth tongue darkness of a throat was a bright dark blue light and they
00:19:22
were screaming I don't like that can I interject and be absolutely off topic but like kind of on topic who she said
00:19:29
like where the mouth should be have you ever seen the inside of a penguin's mouth oh it's scary I found this out
00:19:35
last night for the very first time ever it's a it's a situation it's just teeth upon teeth upon teeth upon teeth and
00:19:42
they're all like teeth on teeth on teeth and they're Jagged yeah I saw this video
00:19:47
of this girl like being scared to pass by a penguin that she like met on the beach and I was like why is she scared
00:19:52
it's a [ __ ] penguin cuz of that Mouse and somebody commented that yeah someone
00:19:55
said what that Mouse do pretty much and she said I don't want to like why yeah why cuz they're too cute
00:20:02
on the outside well probably Fishbones too yeah and they got to like Crush that fish as it goes yeah they need lots of
00:20:09
teeth God if you don't know what the inside of a penguin's mouth looks like please look it up anyways back to these
00:20:14
mouths Google it what did these mouths do they didn't rush me this time but the sound was deafening this time before I
00:20:20
could try to wake up I dream shifted again and this time I was sitting at a desk opposite a man who kind of looked
00:20:26
like a relatively famous actor I'm having trouble remembering the name of insert name here if I remember Steve
00:20:32
Valentine I don't know if I know who that is I'm going to look it up I know I need to know now let's find out worked
00:20:37
it out after about a day of trying I love that Steve Valentine yeah Steve Valentine he's a British American actor
00:20:46
I feel like he that makes sense that he would come into your dream oh okay he just looks like somebody that would come
00:20:51
into your dream yeah he's just like hey can we got a closeup on Steve Valentine house a closeup he's got great teeth
00:20:58
does what that mouth do sum up though he's got he's got mysteries in there yeah especially with with his mustache
00:21:06
yeah you know with his mustache oh I tried to open Instagram mustache makes it very mysterious yeah um so as he was
00:21:12
talking to me it seemed like he was in the mid sentence and was explaining something to me it was like I had
00:21:17
blacked out and was coming into the middle of a discussion I was missing a piece of the conversation and came to
00:21:22
his words and that's why it's important not to ask the question and this isn't a
00:21:27
quote now you have two options either you can have your normal dreams back and never ask the question again or you can
00:21:33
continue to ask the question but never have control over your dreams again at the time the choice was obvious I
00:21:39
occasionally have night terrors so the ability to control my dreams is a necessary component of me acquiring a
00:21:45
peaceful night's sleep yeah I picked to never ask the question again while streaming and then I woke up in my bed
00:21:51
in a cold sweat with a searing headache I pinched myself to make sure I was actually awake and thought about writing
00:21:56
all this down in case I forgot in the morning morning however I decided the headache was bad enough that I didn't
00:22:01
want to look at my phone screen I lay there for a while contemplating what I could remember of what the man had said
00:22:07
quote and that's why you can't ask the question don't tell anyone about what I have shared either you can have your
00:22:14
dreams back or go back to the white staircases I had to actively stop my brain from wanting to ask the question
00:22:19
again after I fell asleep but upon managing to keep the inquisitive side quiet I had a normal dream of fighting
00:22:26
zombies alongside friends that I haven't seen in a while hey awesome I should really hit them up and see how they are
00:22:34
anyway that's my experience of asking the DED question of what is the date and time while streaming it was your podcast
00:22:39
that gave me the idea to do so and even though it was comparatively harrowing experience it was certainly interesting
00:22:45
to see how my dreams reacted to it I now have a migraine so I'm a sign off yours
00:22:50
cautiously cat cat that's terrifying I've done that and I had a similar experience where everyone was so mad at
00:22:59
and then it shifted me out of that dream and into another one I I read these yesterday and so last night when I was
00:23:05
falling asleep I was like I kind of want to try it but I don't I can't always lucid dream like sometimes I just fall
00:23:11
asleep and it happens and other times I can't yeah I haven't been able to Super control my lucid dreaming when it
00:23:18
happens I want to I want to I just bought a bunch of books about lucid dreaming yeah so maybe you'll figure it
00:23:24
out we're going to get on it I'm taking this witchy class and like the um second
00:23:29
part of it they talk about like astral projecting and I'm sure lucid dreaming will come up there so that's interesting
00:23:34
yeah I I like that I'm a little bit scared though I I don't think your dreams are just dreams personally
00:23:40
probably not no I thought it was weird that it worked I'm not usually one that like I like to prove things wrong yeah
00:23:48
that's kind that's like kind of my thing and so I when we had read those first ones about asking the date and time I
00:23:55
was like okay I don't know like I'm to try this and I was like when I tried it I was shocked at the response and the
00:24:03
feeling and the dream that I had I feel like our dreams are almost like a higher
00:24:08
conscious conscious but like we haven't totally figured out how to figure it all out what it all means
00:24:18
yeah it sounded really high there hav figured out how fig out man you know yeah someday we'll figure out how to
00:24:24
figure it out let's figure it out let's do that let's do it together yeah uh so let's talk about demons demons demons I
00:24:32
don't want to do that cuz I'll cough I want to start this off by saying I've always been sensitive I love how many
00:24:38
sensitive listeners we have I know we have a lot of those it makes sense I can walk into a crowded room and tell if
00:24:44
something is off same when I was a kid I had active conversations with shadows and was able to know if something bad
00:24:50
was going to happen I was obsessed with the Supernatural and devoured literally anything remotely on the topic of ghost
00:24:55
species and Magic Elena I can't do that um I also had a bad case of the night terrors me too and slept
00:25:03
with the light on constantly because although little me likes to think she didn't have the word fear in her
00:25:08
vocabulary she was actually a fearful little bean that couldn't get a full night's sleep to save her life I was the
00:25:13
same yeah uh As I Grew Older I learned how to combat the bad dreams by waking myself up by counting to five I have to
00:25:20
pinch myself or move my fingers um I would often lay awake watching the Shadows on my ceiling morph into of
00:25:26
various demonic shapes this was after after I had been shamed into sleeping with the light off because I was quote a
00:25:31
big girl now side note [ __ ] you the night is dark and full of Terrors and I'll sleep with the light on if I want
00:25:36
to there's demons in the closet and a tentacle monster with a lion's head at its Center that has claws inside of its
00:25:42
suckers under my bed that will grab me if I don't jump onto the bed from the doorway after I switch off the light
00:25:47
switch so I'll be sleeping with the light on thank you 100% And I agree with you [ __ ] that [ __ ] I'm a big girl now
00:25:54
[ __ ] I will never say that to my kids no cuz I am 39 years old I have to S and I
00:26:00
still need the TV on because of the light and like light murmuring sound that blows me into sleep same I also
00:26:06
have this weird thing and I don't know what this is but I have a nightlight in my bathroom and it like um flashes like
00:26:12
through the colors of the rainbow oh yeah and if I go into my bathroom at night I won't step foot in the bathroom
00:26:19
if it's on red and while I'm in there if it flashes red I close my eyes until it
00:26:22
goes to the next color wow I don't know it freaks me out I mean hey yeah you got
00:26:27
to go with your gut you think something's weird you got to go with it no I feel that the girls have
00:26:33
um like my kids have this like um constellation light that's like the Northern Lights with like stars it's so
00:26:40
pretty and it is every night it has to stay on and when I go up to bed after they've gone to bed I go into their room
00:26:45
just to like check on them it's just like a habit I have to do it and then I always turn it off and turn it back on
00:26:52
so that it won't cycle through and shut off in the middle of the night because they will wake up and be like yep so
00:26:58
it's just like a habit now and I don't care how old they are when they use it they have one at my house and I'm always
00:27:03
tempted to bring it into my room when they're not there yeah I'm like I should just like take that it's soothing as
00:27:08
hell it is I would use it yeah but John doesn't like light that's this is his actually cuz he does not like light I
00:27:16
know it's a it's a tough uh I would have to pick between the TV and that I think
00:27:20
yeah that's the thing I need I'm not a like bright light people person at night so like I can handle certain TV shows M
00:27:28
but they have to be like calm yeah as well oh well yeah we we we differ there yeah we we found that out the other day
00:27:34
I fall asleep to Bravo yeah I just like women screaming at each other yeah I can't do that I have but I don't I have
00:27:39
it on like and parks and wreck cuz it's pretty lowkey yeah yeah makes sense you know uh anyway this story takes place
00:27:47
much more recently than I would have like it to to have taken place this Story begins with a mirror now this
00:27:53
mirror isn't the small spooky mirror from a horror movie with a gilded frame this mirror is the size of [ __ ] wall
00:27:58
and resides in the bathroom I share with my partner and one of my flatmates on this night I was standing in front of
00:28:04
the mirror on the dark on The Damp tiled floor I think I had gone to the bathroom
00:28:08
half asleep and came to Consciousness while washing my hands though the Taps were turned off and my hands weren't wet
00:28:14
I was staring at my reflection or at least where my reflection should have been in the mirror I could see the
00:28:19
doubles of everything in the bathroom I could see the shower whose grout refuses
00:28:23
to appear clean no matter how much bleach we scrub into it the so hard the porcelain bath and the ever dramatic
00:28:30
piece peace lily wilting in the corner even though I had watered it earlier that day lies are tough LLY are tough I
00:28:37
could even see the light in the hallway streaming in through the open door but do you know what I couldn't see me I was
00:28:43
standing in the bathroom looking at a mirror that takes up the entire wall and my body was absent from its surface how
00:28:49
[ __ ] is that I I can't even picture that [ __ ] is that I looked over my shoulder to check that everything in the
00:28:56
mirror was present in real life that is when the dread set in cold fear tore its
00:29:01
way through my core its icy tendrils CRA clawing at my very being you're an aspiring writer write the book I know
00:29:08
the way you write is really really really good write it cuz you can see everything like the way you write it's
00:29:14
so easy to visualize what you're talking about Caitlyn write it Caitlyn cat cat write the book write the book rabbit all
00:29:20
at once I was aware of the presence behind me something was staring at me behind my back watching me through the
00:29:25
mirror sweat began to glisten my skin my stomach flipped and I was Frozen everything in me was screaming don't
00:29:32
turn around don't turn around don't turn around and do you know what my dumbass did I turned a [ __ ] around and
00:29:38
suddenly I found I was back in my bed drenched in cold sweat Breathing heavily my partner soundly asleep beside me in a
00:29:45
shadow with two long arms that ended in Talons standing in the corner of our room oh I hate that I went to move but
00:29:52
found my body Bound by sleep paralysis oh God I don't know if you've ever experienced sleep paral Paris but it is
00:29:59
one of the most awful experiences I experienced it recently after a long bout of not experiencing it and it was
00:30:05
it was when I heard the kids screaming oh yeah I forgot you said that it like [ __ ] me up for like two nights I
00:30:11
couldn't sleep after that cuz what happened was I found I was I woke up to hearing all three of my children in
00:30:19
their room screaming my name and not actually and it was it wasn't real but it it I was looking at my room I was
00:30:26
hearing their voices I could see in the way and I went to get up and I couldn't get up and then I went to yell to John
00:30:32
to get up and go get them but I couldn't yell and I was just laying in my bed paralyzed unable to scream hearing my
00:30:40
children screaming for me and finally I was able to do the thing where I like I was able to pinch the side of my leg and
00:30:46
like move my fingers and I sat up and I was like so I I couldn't hear them anymore but I darted into their room all
00:30:53
three of them are fast asleep completely asleep fast asleep everything was fine John was asleep and like everything was
00:31:01
normal I could not go back to sleep that night I sat up like feeling sick not I hate it was awful I've had dreams like
00:31:10
not on that level but I've had dreams similar to that where I've had to like sit up and just like like fall asleep
00:31:15
naturally take a moment to like but that one [ __ ] me up I could not get back and even the next night I couldn't fall
00:31:22
asleep yeah that would shake me it [ __ ] me up I've only had sleep paralysis like once and it was in a car
00:31:27
when I I was little and I was having this like Wicked scary dream and I remember like opening my eyes but not
00:31:33
being able to move at all but like seeing like the cars pass it yeah it was weird it's scary and when it happens in
00:31:39
like your bed often times you see things in the room with you that you can't move
00:31:45
away from and they're like coming towards you yeah and like while it's happening you're sitting there being
00:31:50
like Oh my God this is real like there's something in my room and I can't move like it's it's this weird like thing
00:31:55
your brain does yeah it's very weird I hate it a lot uh it's one of the most awful experiences I agree your mind is
00:32:04
fully awake but your body isn't aware that you are and is frozen you feel trapped in the useless sack of meat that
00:32:10
is your body your very being is claustrophobic as it is being reduced to dead weight the only thing I know that
00:32:16
can counteract this paralysis is to go Kill Bill on the situation wiggle your big toe or in my case move your pinky
00:32:23
finger that's I have to move my fingers while still seeing the terrifying VIs that is the [ __ ] B Baba Yaga in the
00:32:30
corner of the room no I channeled everything into moving the seemingly useless appendage after a moment that
00:32:36
felt like an eternity my pinky finger moved breaking the spell of paralysis I bolted to turn on the bedside table
00:32:43
light telling the demon to [ __ ] off as it wasn't welcome here as soon as the light turned on the shadowy shape
00:32:49
disappeared I sat up on my bed legs to my chest blanket clutched to tightly to my chin breathing as slowly as I could
00:32:55
must trying to calm myself down my partner woke up at this point due to the commotion he told me it was okay and to
00:33:02
go back to sleep I turned the light off but I couldn't shake the seeping Terror I ended up getting out of bed going
00:33:07
downstairs to the kitchen and grabbing the salt I did a rough cleansing and once back in bed I managed my witchy I
00:33:13
messaged my witchy friends and told them everything that had happened after chatting with them for a while I had
00:33:19
calmed down enough to attempt to go back to sleep now wouldn't it be great if the
00:33:23
story ended there it would but unfortunately there ain't no W rest for the wicked as soon as I would Settle
00:33:28
Down The Dread would creep its way back in I could feel something watching me when I did finally get some sleep my
00:33:34
dreams were a wash of nightmares that I don't fully remember what I do remember is a voice of many Whispers searching
00:33:41
for a book A book had gone missing or had been stolen I don't know but I remember vividly that that's what the
00:33:47
energy was searching for according to my partner I woke up multiple times telling
00:33:51
the darkness to go away or you're not welcome he also claimed I had been tapping on my head tapping on his head
00:33:58
to wake him up but later realized I couldn't have been tapping him as I was facing the opposite direction [ __ ] a
00:34:04
whole bunch of that [ __ ] that that day at work I felt out of it like I wasn't fully connected to my body I was present
00:34:12
but going about my duties was excruciatingly difficult I was ridiculously clumsy and found myself
00:34:17
walking into door frames and tripping over my own feet you were experiencing life as me yep I ended up calling my
00:34:23
witchy friend and she told me to come over we all need as many witchy friends as we can possibly get it's true we have
00:34:29
a we have a great amount of witchy friends we have wonderful witchy friends I love our witchy friends it's true love
00:34:34
you she came to the conclusion that I had been astral projecting in my sleep and my spirit wasn't fully back in my
00:34:42
body that's it's like where were you and where are you in limbo like that's scary
00:34:48
where are you where are you Soul we did a grounding ritual which involved my holding on to the biggest
00:34:56
orb of Crystal I ever seen in my life love it once done I no longer had the Airy weightless feeling and felt much
00:35:03
more attached to my body we then made a cleansing SL banishing charm which to this day is still under my bed I still
00:35:10
live in the same house this occurred in and occupy the same room but thankfully the only demons I see now are the ones I
00:35:15
have been attached to that have been attached to my partner since childhood tleo and Anar that's cool damn they're
00:35:23
mostly chill damn I like they're mostly chill and usually stare at me from the closet and protect us from the bad vibes
00:35:30
oh I like them then yeah hell yeah good for them they were absolutely no help with the demon that visited on that
00:35:36
night though it seems they were afraid of it as much as I was apologies for the long story you shut up no love you bad
00:35:43

always love hearing when people love listener tales and because people do they do uh you do you do you love it although
00:37:08
I'm not a writer and there are probably a lot of grammatical errors and it doesn't help that I feel the pressure of
00:37:12
a best-selling author potentially writing my reading my writing oh babe that's why I have an editor by the way
00:37:17
I'm about to read the [ __ ] out of butcher in the ROM congratulations Elena thank you any who I'll keep it short and

00:37:27
14o double space puaa random but every time I hear you guys say that I imagine a sassy French man saying it in an
00:37:34

00:39:25
you guys so much you girls are simply some of the most Splendid people in my life and I don't like having many people
00:39:30
around so the fact that you two are in my ears basically 24/7 says a lot this this is why we all get along here yeah
00:39:37
we all have all the same we all have a limit to the people that we can hang out with I'd never been a huge fan of True
00:39:42
Crime before discovering morbid but I just wanted to commend you guys for the way that you honor the stories and
00:39:46
memories of the victims you choose to cover and in doing so you preserve the memory of the person rather than the
00:39:51
tragedy thank you thank you that's what we try to do yeah that's always the aim yeah it's touching to learn about the
00:39:56
lives of these amazing people and I feel that they must appreciate that a lot as
00:40:00
well wherever their souls are resting oh that like really that that hit different
00:40:04
thank you for that but anyway my name is Emily pronounced like regular Emily and
00:40:09
yes you can use it and all the other names involved Emily I'm 25 years old hailing from the state of Indiana
00:40:15
affectionately known to many as the corn State we got to tell some people that we
00:40:20
do I discovered moreid a few months ago while searching for something to occupy my ears during my grueling 10-hour
00:40:26
shifts as a delivery driver at a certain delivery company I'm sure I've been caught many
00:40:32
times on ring cameras randomly bursting out in laughter at you guys that' be awesome I continue to listen to y'all as
00:40:37
I upgrade from the basos Brigade to my first my first big girl office job as assistant marketing director where I am
00:40:44
currently typing this while making it look like I am actually working how adult of me what a badass you are now I
00:40:49
am irrevocably hooked and have been making my way through all 400 plus episodes anytime I get the chance the
00:40:54
shower the car when I'm folding clothes taking my crazy asked dog for a walk which Speaking of I have a beautiful
00:41:00
9-month-old German Shepherd named Gemini oh I love that love love love pictures attached obviously we'll we'll message
00:41:08
anybody who shared pictures this time around and see if we can get them out yeah for sure um and I just had to bring
00:41:13
her up because I bring her up any chance I can get I feel that she came into my life when I needed her the most and I
00:41:18
think it's no coincidence that she's a Gemini and I'm a Capricorn just like another bestie Duo that I know oh my God
00:41:24
I love that my younger sister is also a i/ Taurus cusp and our relationship reminds me so much of you two but anyway
00:41:32
that's quite enough about me let's get to the spooky stuff never my tale is a little more on the spooky side after all
00:41:38
I came to the podcast for the Supernatural and stayed for the True Crime LOL oh I love that it starts a few
00:41:43
years ago right around the beginning of the Panorama now a little context for the story I grew up very borderline
00:41:49
cultish Christian I consider myself now to be an incredibly open person that believes in the spiritual but readily
00:41:56
acknowledges that none of us know what the [ __ ] is going on good for you man hell yeah so I'm the last person that
00:42:01
will ever look at somebody differently for their beliefs or challenge them because ultimately everyone's individual
00:42:07
spiritual experience is for them and them alone love that so much that's exactly how I feel so I wanted to
00:42:13
preface by saying I'm not against Christianity and I never will be and I did not want to come across that way by
00:42:18
the next part of my story thank you so much for coming to my TED Talk don't worry we're we're with you yeah we get
00:42:23
you I just graduated college and was living in Minneapolis with two of my best de girls we were on top of the
00:42:28
world in our brand new three-bedroom apartment doing nothing but smoking ganja and collecting those good good
00:42:33
stimulus checks what a Time the pandemic we had all attended the same private Christian University and we all started
00:42:40
to depart from our Christian beliefs at the time our community was very comforting and we all became a safe
00:42:45
space for each other to deconstruct from our lifelong systems of belief which is
00:42:48
terrifying by the way and if you're currently experiencing it I see you yeah I can't imagine that it's a lot to like
00:42:54
Veer off from a path that you've been on your whole life yeah especially when you've been raised that way yeah we did
00:42:59
start to get a little wild with it experimenting with a lot more weed and psychedelics my teenage self is rolling
00:43:04
in her grave at the thought that I would ever do drugs and this ultimately led to
00:43:08
some wild spiritual experiences when we would explore together at the start of my Spiritual Awakening I had an
00:43:15
incredible uh incredibly Visual and effortless connection to the spiritual realm or other dimensions who knows and
00:43:21
would often dabble in astral projection and receive messages in the forms of Visions for example one one time I
00:43:27
astral traveled while in my physical body and I was having a stomach ache as soon as I arrived at my destination the
00:43:33
beings there just started chanting at me to eat corn eat corn I was very confused
00:43:38
by that but sure enough when I woke up there was a mystery can of corn in our pantry that none of my roommates B the
00:43:43
[ __ ] up and when I ate it my stomach immediately felt better I looked it up after the fact in corn is a natural
00:43:49
laxative oh [ __ ] who knew I guess it has the juice I'm obsessed with the fact that they were all just like eat some
00:43:56
[ __ ] you'll feel better some [ __ ] corn and I'm obsessed with it has the juice she said I really hope you get
00:44:03
that reference did that reference was my life for a minute I love that jingle whether or not I had spoken to
00:44:10
real beings at that moment I may never know but one day while I was at the apartment by myself I had a vision that
00:44:16
made me realize I was most definitely Beyond a doubt connecting with something very very real on the other side
00:44:23
sometime before this happened my roomies and I had started watching a documentary
00:44:26
on Netflix called surviving death which is about real near-death experiences and
00:44:31
other related things it's super awesome and interesting go watch it in one of these episodes a medium explained how
00:44:38
Spirits from Beyond try to communicate in whatever channels they can one of these channels being electricity so of
00:44:44
course when I'm home alone high as balls and the hallway lights start flickering
00:44:48
like it had never done before I knew what the [ __ ] was up Kyle I didn't have any preconceived ideas about what
00:44:54
exactly could be trying to communicate with me but I I wanted to hear it out nonetheless so I started by saying out
00:44:59
loud whoever is there blink for a yes stop for a no are you trying to communicate with me blinking continues
00:45:07
are you not trying to communicate with me see what I did there ooh blinking stops okay oh [ __ ] now we're getting
00:45:14
somewhere are you someone that I know no blinking do you know me blinking starts
00:45:20
again o do you have a message for me blinking continues at this point I wasn't sure if I was actually
00:45:26
communicating with something but I decided because I most easily received messages through visuals I was going to
00:45:32
lay down and try to connect with this energy while I astral projected now I don't know about a lot of people's
00:45:38
experiences but for me astral projection feels like a marriage between my intuition my mind's creativity and
00:45:44
spiritual guidance so a lot of times the messages are formed around stories that
00:45:48
I'm shown isn't that really cool I like that this is really interesting the vision started off with a king who was
00:45:55
the main character in this story he was running away from his castle when he fell through an ice covered Lake he
00:46:01
was trapped until his soldiers could retrieve him and they brought him back to a castle the King was bedridden
00:46:06
freezing and fighting for Life as a blur of servants and soldiers came in and out
00:46:10
of every door to bring him aid but then I saw her a woman approached his bed and
00:46:15
as she approached I took the perspective of the king I could feel his overwhelming sense of Love warmth and
00:46:21
the relief that he felt when he saw her she was wearing a black floorlength dress with long sleeves a white white
00:46:27
apron and her face was that of a black bird oh all of a sudden a bright light came over her face and she transformed
00:46:34
into a beautiful woman with rosy cheeks and silky black hair and I kept hearing the same word over and over Raven o I
00:46:42
have actual chills I've literally read this before and I have chills I just got like a whoosh of chills a if you will I
00:46:49
love Ravens yeah I love Ravens so much I've been trying to like communicate more with like ravens and crows lately
00:46:56
because I rules over them and I'm like really into hcat lately yeah that's my girl yeah so she's right over there you
00:47:03
just can't see yes she is so I got up and as I sat up I began to question the light again are you Raven no blinking is
00:47:09
Raven someone you love blinking starts furiously o I tried asking it some other questions but growing continuously in
00:47:17
confusion I decided to stop I thanked the energy for their time and I apologized that I wasn't sure what to do
00:47:22
with the information later on though one of my roommates returned home from the from a grocery run and I had the
00:47:28
incredible sense that I needed to tell her everything that happened it hadn't even been 5 minutes after telling her
00:47:33
about the light interaction that we both got a text from our third roommate in our group chat another quick tidbit of
00:47:39
context my third roommate Amanda worked for a program that connected with teenagers in the local area to cre to
00:47:46
create a positive Community for them with different activities and resources it was an awesome program the text we
00:47:52
got said that she was going to be bringing over one of her students who was having a particularly rough time in
00:47:56
her her life and was in need of extra support when I read the message I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach
00:48:02
and I responded is her name Raven yes was the response wow isn't that insane that is I was waiting I was like don't
00:48:11
tell me who's Raven don't tell as I read the message I I collapsed in a heap on the ground and I started to so
00:48:17
uncontrollably I was overwhelmed with the feeling of grief and loss Raven had been a student of Amanda for some years
00:48:23
now but only had recently lost her mother unexpectedly to an over while she was at a party in another state Raven
00:48:30
was devastated and at the age of 18 was left with nothing and nowhere to go the amount of desperation I was experiencing
00:48:36
was Indescribable like did like the desperation of a mother who left her baby too soon and was doing anything she
00:48:42
could to tell her that everything was going to be okay the feeling was so intense that I could barely catch my
00:48:47
breath and as I remembered that Raven was currently on her way to our apartment I couldn't bear the thought of
00:48:52
even being in the same room with her let alone meeting her for the first time and
00:48:56
freaking her out by explaining to her that I'm sobbing and snotty because her late mother was trying to channel
00:49:01
through me like what the actual [ __ ] oh my God the entire time Raven had been over that evening I was in the Next Room
00:49:07
weeping I didn't get any other messages from Raven's mother however I came to learned later on that Raven was a
00:49:14
caretaker of sorts for her which lined up with the narrative for my vision I feel the king leaving the castle was
00:49:20
representative of her Mom leaving home his breaking through the ice was the tragic event ending in her loss and the
00:49:26
appearance of the woman represented her longing to be with Raven again wow a stretch perhaps but I needed some way of
00:49:32
rationalizing no I think it makes sense I don't think it's a stretch I told her about the experience eventually and
00:49:38
while she was a little weirded out because she didn't consider herself spiritual at the time she was very
00:49:43
comforted by the sentiment of her mother still being around her Raven moved in with us a few months later and we all
00:49:48
became one big happy family for a while things didn't exactly end on a super cheeky note in the household by the time
00:49:54
I moved away but Raven and I remained close and chat as often as we can oh I love that I know I try to tell her every
00:50:00
time we talk how proud I am of her and that no matter what I will always be there for her after all I think that's
00:50:06
exactly why her mother came to me in the first place she needed to know that her
00:50:09
precious daughter would be okay that she had people who loved her in her life and
00:50:13
that those people would look after her today Raven shares an apartment with Amanda and works as a store manager
00:50:19
while pursuing modeling and fashion fashion and even sews her own clothes I really mean it when I say I'm so so
00:50:25
proud of her I'm proud of her me too as for me I haven't dabbled so much in mediumship since that point it reached a
00:50:31
point for me where I had to kindly ask energies to leave me alone because I was starting to see and hear things quite
00:50:36
constantly creating a lot of paranoia in my daily life will I ever get back into
00:50:41
that world probably just not until I'm ready I was and still am processing a lot for that from that time but
00:50:47
hopefully I'll have more tales for you one day if you've made it this far thank you so much for reading regardless of

00:52:25
Elena starting with the obligatory gushing over how fantastic you both are and what in that you do you are both

your lifetimes thank you love you guys well let's get into it I am a half century old weird witch freak artist
00:52:53
healer medium I'm obsessed with you and lover of the ocean nature and animals anyo I was struck by your listener tale
00:53:00
85 in which a listener talked about her experience with astral projection and the tree in the Meadow in dream town I
00:53:06
was obsessed with that one that one I think I'll remember for the rest of my life that that changed me I've been
00:53:12
there and met others there some of whom I ended up meeting in this world including the boy who would become a man
00:53:17
who would eventually become my husband [ __ ] beautiful I'm literally like woming like beautiful
00:53:24
yeah yeah the meadow with the weeping willow with the orbs of light and how magical the other world is that is where
00:53:30
we met being able to move through the astral world and being able to shift and change things in this world is one of
00:53:36
the greatest and freeing experiences it reminds me of where we go between lifetimes it was one of the favorite PL
00:53:42
my favorite places to be one can fly there move with ease like floating swim like a mermaid and all the laws of
00:53:48
physics as we know it do not seem to exist I want to go to there let me get back up a bit and give you some context
00:53:55
the bulk of my most most Vivid astral experiences happened in my youth teens and early adult life I'm guessing I come
00:54:01
from a long line of witches Mystics or something weird I've been a weirdo for as long as I can recall o oo and well
00:54:08
before I even knew weirdos existed I've been able to see and talk with dead people before I could talk with living
00:54:13
people I've been Lucid dreamer for as long as I can remember and well before I even knew there was a term for it I've I
00:54:20
remember that too I didn't know before I knew there was a term for it I was like
00:54:23
it's weird I can do this thing I always used to like say like oh like some dreams I can control yeah like I have a
00:54:29
decision in my dreams yeah I have also spent much of my life having weekly sometimes daily predictions everything
00:54:36
from small Acts or behaviors of another person to huge events like the tsunami in 2004 in the Indian Ocean another tale
00:54:43
for another time that's wild okay here's my tale my husband and I met in the astral world when we were children he
00:54:51
lived on the east coast and I on the west coast we were kids and would meet up in the me Meadow with with the willow
00:54:56
tree and I loved him instantly oh we did not know each other in the physical world we would fly run laugh and play we
00:55:04
were about 10 to 12 years old when the time would come to wake up I hated it I hated leaving the astral world I hated
00:55:11
leaving him he would tell me not to worry because we would know each other again and for
00:55:16
always ruined me literally ruined me one of the times when we met by the tree he
00:55:21
tried to give me his phone number and would try to tell me where he lived in the physical world it was always so hard
00:55:26
to understand each other when we tried to talk of the physical world like our voices would get drowned out in a sudden
00:55:32
W Roar of wind or one of us would just disappear SL wake up each time we tried to talk about finding each other in the
00:55:39
physical world the astral world would feel heavy and grow darker Less Fun what would end up being one of the last times
00:55:45
we would see each other in the astral world he had me memorize his phone number a landline as cell phones were
00:55:50
not a thing yet I know I'm ancient girl I feel it the world would shift and turn
00:55:55
heavy / darker when we would try to talk about how to find each other in the physical world so it was really hard to
00:56:01
remember his number but I was determined I woke up with a with a body-wide jerk like when you're falling in a dream and
00:56:08
you jerk yourself awake I hate that feeling too and I instantly wrote the number down I was shocked and
00:56:13
exhilarated all at the same time I knew he was real he could never we could never remember each other's names when
00:56:19
we woke up but I remembered the number this is incredible insane I love it the scribbled number on a scrap of paper on
00:56:26
my desk for days as I was afraid to call it it felt like we broke a major Rule and somehow we would get in trouble but
00:56:33
I called it on a weekend and my heart raced my mouth went dry and felt like a bowling ball was in my stomach it rang
00:56:39
several times before a woman answered with a bit of a Southern accent I tried to speak but [ __ ] I didn't know this
00:56:45
kid's name so what was I supposed to say um hello I'm a girl who's been visiting
00:56:49
with a boy in an astral World um is there a boy that lives there yes yeah I hung up but I saved the number my
00:56:55
visitor in the astral world came and went and sometimes we would see each other and I tried to tell him I called
00:57:01
he said I know and don't worry we'll be together life went on and astr projection is something that has always
00:57:06
been a part of my existence so want to know how and when we meet in the physical world of course I do well I
00:57:13
will write more another time just kidding I was like no what are you talking about I was like you [ __ ] no
00:57:19
you [ __ ] now you know how it feels when you end a multi-art episode on a cliffhanger that's what Heather's
00:57:24
yelling at us you [ __ ] [ __ ] you got me so fast forward 12 to 13ish years why
00:57:32
was that so funny I'm now in my 20s living in the pnw attending University Pacific Northwest uh living
00:57:40
near campus in a historically restored apartment building I saw him there he was living in a bottom floor flat I
00:57:46
would have to pass his window by his window upon entering the building he and his housemate often had the window open
00:57:52
during the spring and summer months as they played their guitars singing smoking the devil's Lett us and living
00:57:57
the good life I knew when I saw him that we knew each other I just knew in a very
00:58:02
anticlimactic fashion when we did finally speak he gave no indication that he knew me or remembered me or wanted
00:58:08
anything to do with me H instant broken heart right but I didn't give up because
00:58:13
I knew I remembered the meadow and all the fun we had came washing over me as my friends and I started hanging out and
00:58:20
getting to know these fly boys it became more and more clear to me that we knew each other but he ignored me I was
00:58:26
devastated I was so attracted to him on a soul level I once told my friend at the time I'm going to have that man's
00:58:33
babies she turned and said just his babies no marriage I just gave him an knowing smile fast forwarding a bit he
00:58:41
finally began noticing me and talking with me and that's next thing you know we're dating I did straight up ask at
00:58:48
some point what changed why are you paying attention now he replied bro code I was like what the [ __ ] does that mean
00:58:54
he explained that his flat make called dibs I should have been horrified that I was being seen as a possession but I was
00:59:00
kind of flattered I get it she goes it was the 1990s way back in the 1990s you know we were not as woke then yeah once
00:59:07
it was painfully clear I wanted nothing to do with his cringey flatmate the bro code was disolved well as my future
00:59:14
husband and I grew closer and closer we shared about finding each other all those years before in the astral world
00:59:20
it was an incredible night as we snuggled up as a massive storm rained down and begins sharing and remembering
00:59:26
during our otherworldly time together this is like a movie I can't get over this I love it so as we were talking I
00:59:33
got up walked to my keepsake box and showed him the telephone number stop it it was his grandmother's
00:59:40
number I love all over I love love all over my future husband was born and raised on the East Coast hell yeah and
00:59:48
was in part raised by his grandparents hell and that is the number he gave me all those years before in the
00:59:55
astral world we locked eyes and we knew we found each other across space and time [ __ ] stop I'm just like
01:00:04
stop I cannot fast forward to the present my beloved husband oh this is going to I know oh this destroys me I
01:00:12
know I'm so sorry but it's so beautiful fast forward to the present my beloved husband was killed 10 years ago
01:00:18
