00:00:46
exactly what this is so that's what we're doing again um because I know we're all thinking about that dream
00:00:53
Village oh still right it makes a comeback it you told me to yeah like you told me that I was like holy [ __ ] cuz
00:01:01
I've been thinking about that dream Village story forever since I heard it and I can't stop it felt like a
00:01:08
dreamy uh a dreamy listener tale was was due yeah our cases have been like super
00:01:14
duper heavy lately yeah I mean they're always heavy but like it's I mean we just covered Ed [ __ ] we've yeah we've
00:01:20
been going real hard so so let's go to a place of dream L let's get dreamy and real spooky and weird with it guys let's
00:01:28
[ __ ] go and my first one was written specifically for me I feel it's called listener tal Stevie Nicks and my sleep
00:01:36
paralysis ghost ye me ye my hair from my head so that Drew me in immediately hair
00:01:42
and Stevie Nicks and this one I think I can say their name it is Nikki Nikki it says hi Ashen Elina I have been
00:01:51
listening to morbid for year years and as a true crime addict I recently ran out of murder episodes to listen to
00:01:56
since I truly enjoy your banter I decided to give listener Tales a try today blanch agrees she does here in La we are
00:02:05
stuck inside experiencing our first hurricane and as if that weren't enough we were also blessed with a brief
00:02:11
earthquake this afternoon whoa guys we just had an earthquake on the East Coast which like never happens literally never
00:02:20
that's weird as [ __ ] that is weird I picked these the day before yesterday so that hadn't even happened yet whoa I
00:02:28
mean I guess that's not weird cuz you're from La cuz they happen like all the time but it's weird that we had one here
00:02:32
weird that it lined up and that it's the first one we're reading that yeah no that's that's a lot it's real weird o I
00:02:38
got a little bit of chili yeah the perfect day to stay in and listen to other people's freaky ass stories I
00:02:43
agree hearing all these stories reminded me of the weirdest most blood curdling thing I have ever experienced so here we
00:02:48
are my name is Nikki and you can use my name in this story we'll refer to the other person as Stevie Stevie as I
00:02:55
mentioned I live in LA but at the time of this event I was taking a break from the city and lived in my home hometown
00:03:00
of Columbus Ohio for part of a year I was dating a woman who was a young single mother of a toddler and she lived
00:03:05
in one of the worst neighborhoods in Columbus the house was small and poorly built you could see light coming through
00:03:10
the thin walls where they met the floor everything was falling apart it had super spooky Vibes like a former Trap
00:03:17
House possibly haunted ick her son also had creepy Vibes I always locked our B our bedroom door at night in fear that
00:03:24
he would show up standing over me with a kitchen knife or something not to mention a few months after d I'm pretty
00:03:30
sure his mom my girlfriend was an actual godamn witch I mean she was definitely a
00:03:35
self-proclaimed witch and she would do seances and rituals and stuff quite regularly she was dead ass about all
00:03:41
this and wouldn't let me see what she was doing one time I literally crept downstairs and peaked at her doing one
00:03:46
of those rituals in my dining room where she had scooted all the furniture away and had a bunch of candles and herbs
00:03:52
arranged on the floor sounds great she it really does she was sitting in the middle of it with her eyes closed
00:03:56
talking to herself and I uh went ahead and went back upstairs probably smart definitely smart she was also just kind
00:04:02
of generally nuts so I didn't take anything she was doing too seriously but after some time things started to get
00:04:09
real weird and after this incident that I'm about to get to I became a full-on believer in her witch abilities O So
00:04:15
ever since I was a little kid I've had hor a horrific time when it comes to trying to fall asleep I was always
00:04:20
terrified of the idea that inevitably I would die one day as we humans do I'd have this wave of heat and chills at the
00:04:26
time at the same time wash over me and this crushing full body realization that holy [ __ ] one day this body I'm in is
00:04:33
going to be dead and it will have to be buried or burned oh my God I want a puke
00:04:37
oh that is stressful yeah I think about that a lot that's why I this it would take me
00:04:43
hours to fall asleep because I'd just be laying there thinking about death as I got older I got a little bit better at
00:04:48
blocking out these thoughts and they became far less frequent but one night lying in bed in the spooky old trap
00:04:53
house next to my Stevie Nick wannabe girlfriend it was happening again full body vibrating with the fear of death
00:05:00
and I'm just laying on my back with my eyes closed wishing I could think of something else I didn't tell her what
00:05:05
was going on with me she was facing the wall with her back to me I figured she was already asleep a few moments later I
00:05:11
felt her start to flip over to face me when she let out the most disturbing Yelp I have ever heard she pulled the
00:05:17
blankets over her face and began sobbing saying no no no no no oh my God please no oh jeez I [ __ ] my pants and screamed
00:05:24
What What In the actual [ __ ] she wouldn't answer me Jess kept sobbing after what felt like 10 years but was
00:05:30
actually probably about 3 minutes she said in between sobs you really don't want to know I promise oh no you can't
00:05:35
do that I was like [ __ ] I most certainly do need to know what the [ __ ] just happened she collected herself and
00:05:42
proceeded to tell me that when she rolled over she opened her eyes and saw what looked like a soggy dead old woman
00:05:49
hovering horizontally over my body facing me I'm sorry it's the Soggy for me it was the Soggy for me the Soggy for
00:05:58
me why is that that woman soggy why is she soggy I don't like it I don't like that at all it makes me think of David
00:06:06
Mikey introduced us to that movie talk to me yeah no immediately I thought of the same thing thinking of that lady
00:06:12
that soggy lady can I tell you a just quick quick brief move over here yeah I have been afraid of that woman ever
00:06:21
since we watched that movie and I have a long hallway and whenever I walk down it
00:06:26
I'm afraid that that lady's just like crawling behind me oh my God yeah I don't it's affected me it's affected
00:06:32
me damn great [ __ ] movie though it's a great movie it's wild and that's I think of that lady that's exactly that's
00:06:38
exactly what I thought of that soggy ass lady cuz when she when she crawls into the bed yeah no I hate that I hate that
00:06:44
a lot but watch that it's it's um a24 isn't it yeah it is yeah and we got the hand from it yeah not the real one no
00:06:52
I'm never touching it again though as we finished the movie I was like I'm never
00:06:55
touching that again so it's it's it's now with Ouija boards for ash yeah Noah touou it we're going to have guests that
00:07:03
come in the Pod lab though sign the hand yeah so I already signed it but again never touching it signed it she signed
00:07:09
the deal with the hand but I only wrote my first name so it's not even real all right well Nikki said I thought
00:07:15
I had full body chills before now it felt like my guts were literally falling out of all my orices and I might as well
00:07:20
go throw myself into traffic wow this was my first encounter with any kind of paranormal thing and I was really not a
00:07:27
fan imagine that being your first [ __ ] [ __ ] interaction with the Paranormal no my head was buzzing with the idea
00:07:34
that what if my entire life I've had this soggy dead [ __ ] hovering over me while I'm trying to sleep does soggy
00:07:40
dead [ __ ] next line does this mean I'm going to become a drippy old ghost [ __ ]
00:07:44
one day is my future one of moist this is my favorite is my future one of a moist Mima a damp granny am I going
00:07:54
moist Mima a damp granny a moist Mima is my favorite go am I going to start being
00:08:00
able to see this [ __ ] now if so I'm never going to sleep again of course there was a skeptical part of me
00:08:06
considering my wannabe which girlfriend was mistaken but I could not get past that blood curdling scream she let out
00:08:12
yeah also the fact that she had no idea what I was laying there thinking about made it just too hard to dismiss I don't
00:08:18
blame you but alas I've never seen my wet ghost visitor with my own eyes I've also gotten way better at not thinking
00:08:24
about dying good job in fact in a way I think somehow all this has made me less afraid of death obviously or I probably
00:08:31
wouldn't be listening to morbid all day that's true not long after I broke up with Stevie Nicks from wish and moved
00:08:36
back to the West Coast it was not a very pleasant breakup shortly after I moved she called and cursed me over voicemail
00:08:43
I don't remember exactly what she said and I'm pretty sure she was kind of speaking in tongues at one point but it
00:08:48
gave me the chills and I deleted it a few days later I was at work and a giant patch of my hair fell out I'm talking a
00:08:56
golf ball siiz chunk of hair just Det attached from my [ __ ] head while I sat at my desk mind you Stevie
00:09:05
Nicks wasn't a full-time witch she was also a hair stylist was it Ash it was not me were you dating Ash no and this F
00:09:13
I I've never seen a dead soggy woman hovering over any of my past partners or current partner you're like my current
00:09:20
partner like don't worry husband I haven't seen that and this felt all too personal some may say I had alopecia but
00:09:26
I believe I was cursed I'm just glad didn't send moist Mima for me moist Mima moist my favorite P.S I started trying
00:09:35
to write this story on my phone but somehow it deleted itself from my notes app completely vanished which has never
00:09:41
happened and when I sat down and tried to use my computer to write this it began malfunctioning and disconn
00:09:46
disconnecting from the internet for seemingly no reason it seems as though Stevie and Granny are still here [ __ ]
00:09:51
with me and my [ __ ] damn PPS keep it weird but not so weird that you start dating Stevie Nicks from wish in an old
00:09:57
trap house where drippy wet MOG ghost hovers over you while you're trying to get some shedi away from the potentially
00:10:01
murderous toddler and then you break up with the witch and she makes her ha hair
00:10:05
fall out via voicemail bye wow Nikki Nikki you went through it baby Nikki went through also did you like did all
00:10:15
of your hair end up falling out it come back I need to know Nikki we need an update Nikki I need to make sure you're
00:10:21
okay I need to make sure that you haven't seen any more damp Granny's they said they did or moist Ms since the
00:10:28
writing of this email I know okay they said they never had seen the moist M yeah I want to make sure that it hasn't
00:10:34
made itself known God hasn't appeared you know o damn Nikki I'm I'm glad you got out of there if you have a witch
00:10:42
girlfriend or boyfriend or however they identify as a witch make sure that like if you're not fully into it you don't
00:10:48
brush their hair your your hair in their presence oh yeah you don't leave any part of yourself around don't any part
00:10:54
of you around don't clip your nails it's true don't even shower at their place just watch satanic Panic do that anyway
00:11:02
watch that you should it's really funny so good uh wow okay thank you for that Nikki and I hope you're okay I know me
00:11:07
too so let's move on to the time not really my grandma tried to tractor beam kill me whilst I slept yeah yeah you
00:11:15
know I don't know if you are supposed to use this person's name yeah I'm not going to because I think it's unclear so
00:11:21
we're going to be we call them something else how about um Miss Mary Mac Miss Mary Mac it came very long interesting
00:11:31
that you chose that mm mm mm mmm M um okay so as a hospice nurse in a mountainous often rural area I am not
00:11:40
shy about or afraid of death and related subjects for the most part however as a
00:11:45
highly sensitive person with a vague awareness that if I let myself be open I would have a possible unmanageable
00:11:50
amount of no longer on this plane visitors and frankly I just don't have the bandwidth for that I don't like
00:11:56
being around too many physical folks but at least I can walk away from from those
00:11:59
guys when I'm overwhelmed I feel that on a very serious level so my mom's husband
00:12:05
of many many years had a brittle relationship with his mother who was admittedly not the nicest or most
00:12:10
motherly of people she should maybe not have committed procreation aside from the fact that she created the person
00:12:15
that showers love on my mom in the way she deserves a that's so sweet I also love committed committ procreation the
00:12:23
like a crime but I love that this person showers your mom with love yeah she lived with them for a while and I had
00:12:30
met her maybe a handful of times in passing when I visited but we had no real connection one morning my mom calls
00:12:36
and tells me that Granny is in the hospital with a bad infection the siblings had discussed uh the siblings
00:12:41
had discussed and decided to forgo aggressive treatment and she was being kept comfortable okay I think again
00:12:48
hospice brain recognizes that at some point it is a kindness to support instead of harass a body with treatments
00:12:54
that might maybe perhaps on a long shot help insert various illnesses injuries here but will absolutely not stop the
00:13:01
process of sometimes a body is old and just no longer able to replicate cells appropriately and then dies from taking
00:13:07
its course I express condolences and offer support to Mom and her hubby and expect that it will be a short matter of
00:13:13
time that night I'm sleeping as one hopefully does and have a unique dream now I have cultivated a sleep life of
00:13:20
lucid dream lucid and vivid dreams as I believe that it is a really cool but also an important necessity to having a
00:13:27
deeper understanding of ourselves I love that I know isn't that cool I love that
00:13:30
you've just like committed yourself to lucid and Vivid dreaming cuz you're like it's important I'm like I like that I
00:13:35
think it's great I want to I feel like in my dreams I can be like hey wake up or something like that but I can't
00:13:42
really control much else beyond that oh see I can control sometimes not always yeah I can't it's like suddenly
00:13:48
something hits where I'm like o I'm lucid and I'm like oh go in there or like ask that person this thing yeah
00:13:54
like that's when I did that like what time is it yes I don't real weird I don't want to do that all sometimes I'm
00:14:00
also not in my dream do you ever have dreams like that where you're just like watching something but like you're not a
00:14:04
part of it I don't know if I have but yeah I can't think of like an example but like I'll be like watching something
00:14:11
but like I'm not there like I don't know how to interesting I don't know if I have that yeah H like a movie like
00:14:17
you're watching a movie yeah but it's just like in front of you yeah yeah I don't think I've ever had that happen
00:14:22
but maybe I just don't remember maybe you don't know but yeah I want to lucid dream anyways it is of course the we
00:14:28
hours of morning you know the hour I mean and I am joined in my dream by the image of dying granny sitting in a
00:14:34
recliner with a white sweater on looking as full of spit and vinegar as ever I love that like when I had met her 20
00:14:40
years ago I'm like hey Francis it's good to see you you look nice today and feel
00:14:44
Joy radiating from me she looks at me but says nothing in my dream my mom is with me and we are having a conversation
00:14:51
about I don't know what and she's unaware of Francis though I can see her clearly and tried to point out that she
00:14:56
was in the same room with us I start to have the understanding that Francis is really there but not in a physical way
00:15:01
so okay mom won't be seeing her today suddenly instead of being in a conversation with Mom I feel the hazy
00:15:07
curtain of the otherw world shift from between me and Francis to between me and my mom and start to abruptly absorb my
00:15:14
joy and replace it with a growing fear and dread Francis is leaving and she's trying to take me with her ooh isn't
00:15:20
that [ __ ] in a way I've never experienced I am being pulled towards her not physically but as if she was
00:15:26
trying to slurp the life essence out of me okay Miss Mary Mac I'm going to need you to
00:15:34
know that that upset me in a way I Can't Describe slurp the life Essence out of me slurp the life Essence out of me
00:15:43
honestly it makes me think of Hocus Pocus you should read the when they're all just like you know Miss Mary Max
00:15:49
said that oh my God are you serious I was just going to say when they're all like and when Mary burps e think Hocus
00:15:57
Pocus without the boss makeup and costum amazing makeup and costumes see way to write that though I knew I was sleeping
00:16:04
I could feel myself being dragged through or out of myself like literally being sucked into the void and unlike my
00:16:10
normal dreams I wasn't able to control or change the situation I'm so far gone my mom is unaware that I'm quote unquote
00:16:16
leaving and I can no longer communicate with her like my mouth has been filled with glue or sewn shut kind of like
00:16:23
Billy butcherson in Hocus Pocus boom [ __ ] with a dull needle and all that's right right the only thing I can think
00:16:30
to do is go into a sort of mental gymnastics and I throw myself into the Endeavor of struggling against her pull
00:16:36
all the while trying to get some sign across to my mom because she's a badass ACT first ask questions later woman that
00:16:43
wouldn't stand for such otherworldly chicanery I start to feel lost the darkness creeping into my vision and I
00:16:50
wake up audibly crying out for my mom and just sit there in the dark trying to catch my breath and hoping also I didn't
00:16:56
wake up the kiddo i' had fallen asleep next to because mom's so I didn't die sucked into thick Oblivion but miss
00:17:03
Francis had I again talked with my mom on the phone later that day to hear that Francis had taken her last breath
00:17:08
through the night that's weird isn't that [ __ ] creepy I was not surprised given the adventures of Slumber but also
00:17:15
was disinclined to share the story of how despite how she had made so many people hurt and uncomfortable in life
00:17:20
she couldn't leave without adding one more to the tally ooh it's so creepy that like she wasn't the nicest human in
00:17:27
life and it seems like something like that would do be like I'm taking you with me damn with that experience I
00:17:34
again solidified a willful ignorance of those around me I cannot see in an effort to not send out a SP sprawling
00:17:41
open invitation to my awareness given that there is a Civil War era graveyard literally in the my front yard and one
00:17:47
time I was introduced to a patient and the Ghost of his grandma that watched over him in the same sentence I have
00:17:53
understandably created a bit of a curtain between awareness and intentional ignorance you're fascinating
00:17:59
you are fascinating thanks for listening all keep it weird but not so weird that
00:18:03
you're a cynical Heckler in life you have to go rumaging around in the minds if you're not really family to find a
00:18:08
shred of Joy on your where to way to wherever it is you're going but seriously I hope Francis is at peace
00:18:14
enjoying the others in the same way that the bad guy did in Kubo and the two strings at the end I won't spoil it but
00:18:20
it was a beautiful way to create joy and not perpetuate hate and it made me cry with the beauty of it if you haven't
00:18:25
seen it I have not I haven't either do yourself a favor a huge favor and take the day off to do so worth it love you
00:18:31
guys thank you for being amazing and normalizing a fascination with the less lovely aspects of life and death here's
00:18:37
my sweet dog Penny I love your sweet dog Penny and the front yard graveyard oh you have really pretty trees oh damn oh
00:18:44
that's gorgeous gor I like that you wrote Appalachia like an overs scrub like an appalaches over here damn that's
00:18:53
that was just spooky truly spooky like that was just spooky but miss Mary Mack that was chilling and it was also like
00:19:02
super lovely at the end that you were just like I hope you know I hope Francis is at peace yeah just like wishing the
00:19:07
best for trying to pull your ass into the Afterlife and you're still like Francis I hope you have the day you
00:19:12

Mary Mach all right my next one is listener Tales Kayla's story inspired me to send in my own dub dub you rock ye I
00:19:25

00:19:30
it has a similar sort of theme to Kayla's story though quite different in its contents this is my first time to
00:19:35

00:20:13

00:20:21
longtime listener first time caller here my name is Amber go ahead and use it if
00:20:24
you want there's lots of us and I don't really care if people know this is my story or not I've toyed with sending in
00:20:29
a couple stories in before but quite frankly haven't made the time or the effort I honestly felt that while my
00:20:34
stories are mine and interesting to me they weren't anything especially spectacular or interesting enough to
00:20:40
write in about but I think they might be so go ahead and tell them to us then while at work cutting up a tonsil I'm a
00:20:47
htot technician I think that's okay most people haven't heard of it I haven't I heard Kayla story on listener Tales 72
00:20:54
dreams astral Productions and Alternate dimensions and I had to stop take my gloves off and write down her name in
00:21:00
the episode I got that compulsion that I got that compulsion that so many of your
00:21:04
listeners get after a particular story hit that deep cord within them and makes them feel as if they're itching to get
00:21:10
out of their own skin I knew this was the story that would finally urge me to send a tale of my own into you lovely
00:21:14
ladies of the lurd laughable and ludicrous do you not love that I was just going to say that honestly I want
00:21:21
that to be like a band name lured laughable and ludicrous I also want to add it to my resume which I I don't have
00:21:26
one but I'll make one simply to that yeah yeah now see Kayla's story is incredibly similar to my story well
00:21:34
maybe not quite the same flavor but certainly in the same Pantry refrigerator grocery store I didn't
00:21:39
quite think that metaphor through all the way we get it but to quote Ash using one of my most eye roll inducing you
00:21:44
kids that keep creating a dumbass new way to say things isms it's giving familiarity it's giving Nostalgia it's
00:21:50
giving chills did I use that right like Elena I am an old a proud geriatric Millennial as we're called hell
00:21:57
yeah that I know this game I've played this game feeling and as much as my story is a keystone of series of events
00:22:03
for me it has always sounded Fantastical and impossible to others I've only shared it with a handful of people
00:22:09
luckily they received it well and viewed it as more of a questioning their own views on reality kind of way rather than
00:22:15
a she's a bit loonier than we thought and maybe she should be on medication kind of way I've also always been a
00:22:21
rational and logical sort of person born January 4th or 24th run away with a ash
00:22:27
I looked it up and that is a a um Capricorn cusp but aquarius so I feel like it kind of makes sense cuz you say
00:22:35
with a wild imagination but a burning need to learn about everything impossible yet I try so it pretty much
00:22:41
fits perfect yeah like the rational logical side for sure yes exactly but the wild imagination is so Aquarius
00:22:47
there you go however look at you look at it however when you tell people you've spent time and what you think is an
00:22:52
alternate reality timeline Dimension what have you that raised eyebrow Blank Stare is all too familiar it's true but
00:22:58
we're here for you we're so here similar to Kayla however I was ejected and haven't been back since though the
00:23:04
manner in which it occurred definitely differs from Kayla's story it's been about 16 years give or take since I saw
00:23:10
the town with the Old Clock Tower not kidding full body chill you just said since I saw the town with the Old Clock
00:23:17
Tower even just saying it all loud right there I'm chilling and ready I am chilling like I'm in my seat my butt is
00:23:23
held on to let's go yeah I'm already into this when we dabble in an explore the unknown something inexplicable
00:23:30
happens it seems to live in your very blood always reminding you it's there but filling you with a cooling awareness
00:23:35
that there is so much more to this universe and the human mind then we will likely ever understand and the dividing
00:23:40
line between the two is fuzzy and fluid you're an incredible writer by the way there so many of you if you're thinking
00:23:48
about writing a book write a book do it or write whatever you feel like you want
00:23:51
to write but like write something write something write it so everybody can read
00:23:56
it because a lot of you are so [ __ ] good you guys have a way to just like paint a picture yeah like you this is
00:24:03
just that's just like a beautifully constructed half of a paragraph this whole thing is it really is so like do
00:24:09
it if you're ever thinking of doing it just [ __ ] do it now while this is immensely intriguing and alerting those
00:24:14
of us who have embarked on these paths uh build an understanding that there are things we can't explain that are more
00:24:20
powerful than we currently are equipped to understand okay enough buildup here's
00:24:24
my relatively short but impactful story of the town I frequented in the day I was kicked out by something dark when I
00:24:30
was in high school I had a close friend who started talking to me over I am q nostalgic sigh yes about astral travel
00:24:37
though I don't think he ever actually used that term I believe it was much later while when telling my cousin about
00:24:42
the experience that she told me about astral travel and gave me a book about it that's when I learned the term from
00:24:48
what I recall my friend said that he wanted to quote unquote show me something and I said okay and then he
00:24:53
typed out instructions he said the thing he wanted to show me wasn't here it was
00:24:57
in another Place confused but intrigued I read the instructions on how to relax my body clear my mind and asked how he
00:25:04
planned to show me something based on the instructions he replied saying that he didn't know if it would work and he
00:25:09
couldn't tell me much more just to try it to take my time and reply whenever I felt it was quote unquote time I was
00:25:17
sitting on my bed with the laptop that my debate coach let me borrow yeah it was supposed to be to work on research
00:25:22
but I was a teenager so of course I used it to chat with my friends too of course
00:25:26
and reading his words I thought what the the hell why not I closed my eyes and relaxed my body focusing on my breath
00:25:32
while imagining a white light building around me deep breath in steady release out deep breath in and out in and out
00:25:41
though it took a few minutes for me to be able to fully clear my mind certainly not an easy task for an OCD riddled
00:25:46
chronic overthinker soon I was seeing something it was strange and it's a bit hard to explain but there was a point in
00:25:53
my relaxation exercise where I felt as though if I opened a pair of inner eyes IDs my eyelids were closed and I was
00:26:00
sitting on my bed I could feel myself in my room yet I felt an odd warmth under my eyelids and had the sensation of
00:26:06
opening them even though they remained closed H I thought I had glinted something but I was so confused by The
00:26:12
Sensation that I lost my focus and opened my eyes fully I stared at the laptop screen allowing my eyes to adjust
00:26:19
as I focused on the IM box my friend typed and entered the words what did you see I stared for a minute before
00:26:25
responding he didn't know he just had funny timing right I typed I don't know and that seemed to
00:26:31
be the opening needed I suppose he felt that if it wouldn't work for me he'd know relatively quickly and me saying I
00:26:37
don't know rather than nothing or something to that effect seemed to give him hope so he told me to try it again
00:26:43
to do the same thing but let it continue so I did the same process of relaxing and clearing my mind then the same
00:26:49
sensation of opening a pair of inner eyelids but this time I just continued to focus on my breathing it wasn't long
00:26:56
before I became aware that I was seeing a large tree I was standing in a meadow or a field of sorts and it was Breezy
00:27:02
and there was a large old tree gently sloping a small hill with things floating around it the tree was huge
00:27:08
with heavy branches that hung over and leaf filled limbs that brushed the grass around it similar to a willow but it
00:27:14
wasn't a willow it wasn't as dense as a Willow and the leaves weren't the wispy narrow leaves of a willow say Willow
00:27:20
again he I almost said that Willow as my vision focused I noticed the things floating around the tree were orbs of
00:27:26
light soft looking green gold bubbles floating lazily around the tree weaving in and out of the branches after a
00:27:32
minute or two I opened my eyes fully again and looked at the laptop screen and began typing what I saw he
00:27:38
encouraged me to do it again but to approach the tree and touch one of the bubbles so I did I repeated the same
00:27:44
process and this time the meadow around me was more crisp I could feel the breeze the warm sun on my face and hear
00:27:50
the grass rustling as I moveed toward the tree I paused For a Moment by the tree and watched the green gold orbs
00:27:56
drift about when one cross to me and danced in front of me I reached my hand out and touched it I genuinely can't
00:28:02
recall exactly how I ended up on the cobblestone pathway I don't remember any sort of Whirlwind feeling or being
00:28:09
dropped down a tube or anything like that but after touching the orb the next thing I recall is looking down at my
00:28:15
feet seeing a slim pair of well-worn brown boots on my feet the Hem of a simple emerald green dress and the
00:28:21
cobblestone pathway that faded into the trees behind me and stretch forward toward a stone wall I'm literally
00:28:27
obsessed with this it just sounds like beautiful and Whimsical see yeah this is Whimsical as [ __ ] I'm in it is I began
00:28:35
walking and found myself approaching a small town or Village of sorts bordered by the stone wall after a moment however
00:28:41
I hesitated looking forward I could see an old wooden Clock Tower not especially
00:28:45
tall or ornate but a clear focal point for the Small Town Square I could see people moving about the square and one
00:28:51
man who was near the break in the wall where the gate would be I was unsure what I was seeing was a Viv was Vivid
00:28:57
and clear but but it couldn't be real right I pulled myself out of it and opened my eyes my bedroom and laptop
00:29:03
scream coming into Focus I saw you the words my friend had typed were in the I am box I know full
00:29:11
chills I am chills in this moment this I've never heard of like before this story I fully believe it
00:29:21
like I'm not doubting any part of it but I've never heard people seeing each other saw you right yeah okay and it
00:29:29
gets Wilder it gets Wilder let's go let's go the words my friend had typed in typed were in the IM box when my eyes
00:29:35
focused on the screen and I felt a combination of several feelings at once confusion skepticism doubt and yet there
00:29:42
were Goosebumps on my arm I am however a natural cynic and skeptical about things
00:29:47
until convinced as I previously alluded to I was on a debate tee competitive speech mock Congress and theater and was
00:29:54
both a state and nationally ranked speaker what what amazing I competed and placed in about a
00:30:00
100 tournaments in my high school career I say this not to brag but to illustrate
00:30:04
how ingrained in my nature it is to question explore and poke holes into the unknown to be curious but not naive so
00:30:11
when I read that what my friend had typed my gut response was prove it hell yeah it was cuz you got a little bit of
00:30:17
Capricorn in that yeah exactly you're on that cuss hell yeah I typed what do you
00:30:21
mean and he repeated I saw you standing on the path wa again I have to emphasize
00:30:26
that I have a vivid imagin and I'm also very skeptical normally I was certain there was a way he was able
00:30:32
to guess what I'd imagined and was playing a sort of game or just wanting to do some imaginative roleplay nothing
00:30:38
sexual we were only ever friends but we were also total nerds and random imaginative role playay wasn't outside
00:30:43
the realm of possibility I feel that you're just role playing friend things what did I look like I asked
00:30:51
thinking that that would be an easy way to begin poking holes you were wearing a
00:30:55
green dress his response read okay but it's not exactly a secret that I like the color green could just be an easy
00:31:01
guess you had long wavy auburn hair and you were a little taller than you actually are waa I froze staring at his
00:31:09
words in disbelief see I left out a detail earlier when I first noticed myself on the stone pathway I caught a
00:31:15
glimpse of my hair and held the end of it in my hands it was wavy long reaching to my lower back and was a deep rich
00:31:22
Auburn the reason this is worth mentioning is that in reality my hair is a dark brown shade and naturally very
00:31:27
straight and at the time I was in high school it was a little past shoulder length so like completely different W
00:31:33
yeah the Goosebumps made their reappear my next TCT was to ask him to describe where I was to which he responded in
00:31:41
perfect detail about the surroundings I had just seen I was now Beyond baffled how was the only thing that could
00:31:48
infiltrate my buzzing senses my question about my appearance could have led him to Guess that the differences mentioned
00:31:54
incorporating conversations we'd had in the past but I but I didn't intend to look different and even if it was my
00:32:00
subconscious he still described the environment around me perfectly the very air around me and my room in my bedroom
00:32:07
felt charged there was a sort of buzzing feeling in the air but also an almost faintly pressing feeling of higher
00:32:13
pressure I'm not sure if that makes any sense but it's the only way I can really
00:32:17
think to describe it it does I feel like I can feel that yeah it was several minutes before I responded are you
00:32:24
messing with me I finally asked another thing about myself especially at the time I prided myself on not being easily
00:32:31
caught off guard and being able to think quickly on my feet a side effect of the
00:32:35
years of competitive speaking debate and theater consequently when I was caught off guard my reaction response tended
00:32:41
toward annoyance and going on the off offensive not my best trait but I have a sensitivity around feeling made to look
00:32:47
foolish I'm sorry are we when I read this I was like did Elena write this yeah like are we the same yeah I feel
00:32:54
that a lot very much so what followed was a series of messages and which my friend assured me that he wasn't trying
00:32:59
to mess with me or to make me look dumb he had stumbled into something and wanted to share it with someone someone
00:33:04
else someone he thought had the ability not only to stumble into it as well but to grasp it after some reassurances he
00:33:11
convinced me to do it again that he would approach me in this other little world whatever it was so I did I'm so in
00:33:17
for this and he did the man who had been standing by the break in the wall was him over the next hour or two we talked
00:33:23
and walked around this odd Little World then would go back to the IM chat to talk more about what we saw and said
00:33:29
there each of us was taking further steps in the chat to confirm that we weren't leading one another in any way
00:33:35
and we were actually experiencing something unique and shared this is amazing it's beautiful yeah it really is
00:33:41
I feel like this would also make like a fantastic movie oh my God yeah when it came to say good night we agreed to meet
00:33:48
back the next day and try to repeat repeat the experience we re-entered this world several times each time talking
00:33:55
and exploring the little town and the surrounding Woods that talking over the IM chat about what we saw and said to
00:34:00
one another it was fascinating and exciting but it was strange and unexplainable to me at the time however
00:34:06
I was absorbed in this ability to slip into another world and experience something that felt like a hidden secret
00:34:12
a great title for the movie truly hidden secret hidden secret it wasn't long before the draw was strong enough that I
00:34:18
was going without my friend I'd walk around the Little Town Square stare up at that clock tower and even met a nice
00:34:23
older man who liked to make Pleasant small talk when he saw me I wish I could remember his name I do too damn Isn't
00:34:29
that cool and then you have to wonder like was that somebody else astral projecting or like it did that person
00:34:35
live in that town wherever you were what is this there came a day when I entered
00:34:40
the outskirts of the little town the same as I always did appearing on the Cobblestone path outside the wall and
00:34:45
immediately felt that something was off the air held a distinct sour note of for
00:34:49
boing and it was quiet there were dark storm clouds in the sky the sun fighting to be seen and it didn't occur to me
00:34:55
until that moment that the sky there had always clear and bright something was wrong it was with trepidation and unease
00:35:01
that I approached a break the break in the wall there were no signs of or sounds of people moving about the square
00:35:07
as there usually was there was a palpable feeling of dread and anticipation filling the air as I
00:35:12
crossed into the Town Square the very darkness of the clouds filling the sky seemed to detach from the clouds and
00:35:18
stream into the surrounding Square pressing and pushing ooh it happened in a matter of seconds the darkness filling
00:35:24
the space with a sudden lurching shove I was back in my room my heart racing and
00:35:29
my head pulsing with that feeling of pressure that I'd felt in the Square damn I wish I could say I knew what
00:35:34
happened I wish I could explain what it was that pushed me out I wish I could say I went back to get answers but the
00:35:40
truth is that interaction filled me with an unfathomable feeling of dread fear and warning I was not welcome back and
00:35:47
if I went back something bad would happen to me that was the only clear thought I did have damn I wasn't sure
00:35:53
why if i' done something wrong or if something dark maybe not even from that place had crossed a similar entryway I
00:35:59
had and was pushing everything out was the town okay was the friendly man okay oh man is he okay I hope so I told my
00:36:07
friend about it and he agreed with me I couldn't go back it wasn't safe to this day I still have no answers as to what I
00:36:13
experienced and what happened that day I've even had to entertain the thought that perhaps it was my friend and he no
00:36:18
longer wanted to share the town with the Clock Tower with me damn I know I wonder
00:36:23
another great detail for the movie either way I've never gone back never even really tried there are certain
00:36:29
lessons that we only need to learn once to get the point when something reaches into your very core and imprints an
00:36:34
intent upon you the need to push the boundary poke holes or search for answers is simply evaporated sometimes
00:36:40
you don't need answers to still know something to be true I I just love that I love how you WR the 16 or so years
00:36:47
since this occurred has taken a lot of the detail with it I've always prided myself on having a great memory a
00:36:52
photographic memory but whether it was my stressful years of navigating my 20s sliding into being a high function
00:36:57
alcoholic 2 and 1 half years sober now hell yeah congratulations or the very nature of what I experience the details
00:37:03
have faded I've written the experience as best as I can remember with as much detail as I can remember without letting
00:37:09
my imagination try to take over I can still feel the dividing line to this day I've never tried to go back to the small
00:37:15
quaint town with the Old Clock Tower and I may have just written the whole thing
00:37:19
off as an odd imaginative experience or some weird Folly Ado but it isn't my only experience I've had many
00:37:25
occurrences of intuition and my good old gut being more obnox more of an I love this more of an obnoxious know- at- all
00:37:32
than I used to be I had a close friend who used to call me her turning fork because of my ability to feel tuning
00:37:38
fork oh tuning fork sorry uh because of my ability to feel energy and intuitively know a truth before it's
00:37:43
confirmed because of my nature however my natural skepticism my need for balance with my rational side I've never
00:37:50
fully leaned into this with my whole heart similar to how it was when I visited this other place but there was
00:37:55
one other more recent occurrence that tip the scales in my brain with a bit more weight on the side of the unknown
00:38:00
and Fantastical something that while relatively small in brief brief excuse me seemed to lend Credence to the
00:38:06
possibility of such Fantastical things being a bit closer to reality ooh I was at home one night relaxing after a long
00:38:13
shift at work sitting on the couch and watching Forensic Files again as one does as one does and letting my mind
00:38:19
wander I was wearing a necklace a close friend had given to me and was holding the pendant in my hand while my mind was
00:38:25
wandering over the hundreds of random thoughts that flashed through my head after a hectic day for some reason I had
00:38:30
a random persistent thought to close my eyes not in a sleepy way but as if someone kept whispering in my ear to do
00:38:36
so so I did it was it was as if I was sitting in the upper corner of his garage ceiling my back to the corner and
00:38:44
looking down on the crowded workspace his back was bent over whatever he was currently working on and he was sitting
00:38:50
at one of the tables my friend who had given me the necklace had talked about his garageworkshop he liked to build
00:38:56
things and Tinker with a electronics and I quickly realized what I was seeing I could clearly hear the music he was
00:39:02
listening to a particular song was playing that he'd showed me a couple weeks before everything was as clear as
00:39:07
if I was actually sitting in the room with him I even recall my heartbeat accelerating convinced he'd turned
00:39:13
around and see me what the [ __ ] I took a deep breath and opened my eyes the episode of Forensic Files swimming back
00:39:18
into focus and immediately picked up my phone I texted my friend and asked him if he was sitting at a table in his
00:39:24
garage working on something yes came the reply then question mark like what the [ __ ] you're wearing a white t-shir a
00:39:31
t-shir I just said t-shir are you wearing a white T-shirt you got a white t-shir
00:39:37
on you're wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue basketball shorts I texted quickly question mark question mark with
00:39:43
his response then stalker LOL do you have that alltime low song playing I sent my next message immediately yes
00:39:51
what the [ __ ] he replied a second later then seriously are you here LOL I don't
00:39:55
know where you live I responded then I sent him a picture of me sitting on my couch weird you're going to have to
00:40:00
explain this to me tomorrow he replied side note funny how we use LOL now to ensure our messages sound lighthearted
00:40:07
it's a somewhat disturbing mental image to actually imagine yourself or someone Laing every time they use it though I
00:40:12
think of that all that especially something like that where it's like seriously are you here L
00:40:18
stalker it's like what the [ __ ] no one's laughing at that like we would all just
00:40:23
be like rocking back and forth laughing maniacally even when like I will write it myself like sometimes I feel like
00:40:30
there's a voice in my head that's like you're not laughing like don't say that sometimes in my head it's just like LOL
00:40:35
well like what the [ __ ] exactly the next day at work oh yeah we worked together I
00:40:40
told him about what had happened he verified the things I'd seen the layout of his garage and worktables and made
00:40:46
several jokes about me being a stalker or Witch of some kind he and I had many conversations about the strange and
00:40:52
unusual before however he did ask me a few questions and I agreed that it sounded like some sort of astral
00:40:58
projection of some kind I berated him a few different ways to be sure he wasn't screwing with me we had a very playful
00:41:04
and teasing sort of friendship so it would not be out of the ordinary and I felt confident that he wasn't he
00:41:09
genuinely seemed a bit spooki by it and I saw the Goosebumps on his arms myself as I write this it occurs to me that
00:41:15
many of the more unexplainable and Fantastical events that I've experienced in my life seem to involve or intensify
00:41:22
around men I'm close to ranging from family to close friends to romantic connections I'm not sure if there's
00:41:27
anything to that or if it's just my brain trying to connect a pattern of any sort into some kind of meaningful answer
00:41:33
it could also be a coincidence that the necklace my friend gave me the one I was
00:41:37
holding when I felt compelled to close my eyes and saw him in his garage was a pendant with a tree of life an image
00:41:43
I've always felt a connection to and that a similar looking tree was the conduit of sorts that guided me into the
00:41:49
other world that held the the town with the clock tower again this could just be
00:41:54
my brain trying to find patterns as a way to facilitate answers but I do always love a good synchronicity I do
00:42:00
too and I also love the way your brain works yeah it works very similar to yours yeah as is my custom I rambled a
00:42:06
bit more on this than was my intention but I haven't really even thought about all this that much in years and it was a
00:42:11
journey to sit down and write it all out it even took me longer than I thought it
00:42:14
would to actually finish this and get it sent in I'm doing so however oh excuse me in doing so however I have been
00:42:20
feeling a sort of pull to try to lean into these possibilities more and since I became sober I've been feeling my
00:42:26
inner tun Fork more and more again that's awesome I love that I know maybe I can find the meadow with the tree
00:42:32
again and maybe it will take me somewhere else I hope it does I want you to I want you to go somewhere even
00:42:37
cooler yeah and like I hope you're safe when you go yeah maybe it's best not to try as the possible repercussions may
00:42:43
not be worth it probably either way for the first time in several years I think I'm ready to start trying to clear my
00:42:48
mind again but I'm not setting any expectation with it and will always sheath myself in protective light as I
00:42:53
clear my mind for all I know that was the only thing that guarded me last time thank you again for all that you do you
00:42:59
ladies are a point of joy and connection for me and many other listeners in this
00:43:02
crazy world thank you I love the way you cover the cases you choose and put so much emphasis on the victims in each
00:43:08
case and the way you manag to find cases that so many of us have probably never heard of through all of our various uh
00:43:14
shows like episode 289 the swamp Angel Alena one of my favorite episodes of a case I've ever heard what that case was
00:43:20
wild wasn't it yeah and they said they'd never heard of it sorry I read that wrong and Ash your episode about Betty
00:43:25
Page was wonderfully done thank you you I learned so much I didn't realize I didn't know about her story it's hard to
00:43:31
even narrow down favorites and I won't because I love them all even the early ones I love you but those two have
00:43:36
always stuck in my mind keep doing what you guys do and I hope you continue to have happiness and success in all that
00:43:42
you touch thank you you two feel like distant family and the synchronicities that pop up between my life and what you
00:43:48
two talk about on the show is one of the big reasons I come back to listen every
00:43:51
week just feels right I think you and Elena are i g to say I think we might be I really think so and you two have been
00:43:58
a beacon of comfort for me over the past couple of years Elena I relate to you on
00:44:01

00:44:14
it and how cool you guys are definitely connected in some way I didn't read this

crazy all right I mean moving on to my Tick Tock lucid dream my friends I love this let's go let me bring this up the
00:47:28
time Tik Tok [ __ ] my lucid dream my Walmart mirror is a portal Yeet all of the above hello ashleen and
00:47:36
Deb Deb my name is Nick and yes you can use it I have attached a pipa of my experience lately with lucid dreaming I
00:47:42
want to start out by saying I absolutely am obsessed with your podcast it is pretty much the only podcast I listen to
00:47:48
all day every day I started listening to it during 2020 during that time I had recently moved to a new city and when
00:47:54
the world shut downed or I recently moved to a new shitty shitty godamn it's because we read too fast I
00:48:03
had recently moved to a new city and then the world shut down there we go that wasn't you that was all me so I
00:48:10
didn't have much company beside you wonderful ladies I'm glad we were keeping you company I instantly felt
00:48:16
like I was hanging out with my besties I relate to you all so much Ash I also a Gemini and I am also somewhat of an
00:48:23
empath I suppose and feel deeply connected to my to spiritual events and such hence why I'm writing this story
00:48:30
Elena I am also obsessed with your sense of humor and your witty comments thank you you always keep it 100 I do abely
00:48:38
and I adore you for that thank you I aspire to be as carefree and lovely as both of you you you are you are lovely
00:48:45
as [ __ ] lovier even to start this story I will say I've always had a strong intuition feel other people's feelings
00:48:51
deeply and have always been hyper sensitive to the feelings of places people animals Etc
00:48:57
my eternal catchphrase is I don't know I just get a Vibe I relate to that I was going to say that's asash however I have
00:49:03
never had much guidance and how to deal with these feelings or what they mean I bring these feelings up to my boyfriend
00:49:09
and although he tries to be supportive he has trouble relating to my experiences so I just want to say sorry
00:49:14
if I describe these events incorrectly as I am just learning how to handle the emotions and feelings I receive never be
00:49:20
sorry now you're good never be sorry for anything never I have many stories about my lucid
00:49:26
dreams or times my intuition has saved me for example the time my badass women intuition saved me from a creeping
00:49:32
Predator hell yeah did I've always had lucid dreams since I was a child but I've been having them frequently again
00:49:38
and even started to direct them when you did your episode with Andrew and talked
00:49:42
about lucid dreaming I knew I had to write in about my tale however this lucid dream that I'm going to tell you
00:49:48
about still freaks me out I recently moved into a new house and when I moved into the house I instantly felt that
00:49:53
there was an older gentleman spirit that was still lingering in the house not harmful just a dude chilling living life
00:50:00
you know just a Vibe this will be important later the night before this lucid dream i' had seen a Tik Tok saying
00:50:06
that if you loose a dream oh no that if you loose a dream you should never ask the time or day something that you
00:50:12
talked about in the episodeepisode with Andrew being the stupid [ __ ] that I am
00:50:17
I thought what the hell honestly welcome to the stupid [ __ ] Club because I also
00:50:20
did that that night I fell asleep and noticed I was locid dreaming I was in a room full of people with no faces
00:50:26
mindless wandering around me in a blank white room I hate that they had no faces
00:50:30
yeah I stopped one of the people and asked them what the time and date was as soon as I asked I regretted it the lady
00:50:36
started screaming at me and I was launched backward out of the room into the pitch dark then I woke up in my bed
00:50:41
or so I thought I was looking at myself from above my bed seemingly floating over my body I watched myself startle
00:50:48
awake and stare into my full length mirror I have in the corner of my bedroom I watched as the mirror
00:50:54
shattered seemingly startling me awake again nope I was still dreaming this time I was sitting in my bed staring
00:51:00
into the mirror then again the mirror shatters and I am seemingly startled awake again this cycle continued five
00:51:06
times I startle awake the mirror breaks I startle awake again an endless cycle of torture that I couldn't wake up from
00:51:12
this is awful Isn't that horrible it feels so suffocating oh I that's exactly the word usually in my lucid dreams I
00:51:19
can just wake myself up but this time I was trapped after the fifth time I was still lucid dreaming but I launched up
00:51:25
in bed and instead of looking in mirror I turned my head to look into my pitch black master bedroom as I turned my head
00:51:32
I see an older man standing in the doorway there's your gentleman he stares back at me and just Whispers be careful
00:51:39
and disappears into the dark I'm like I don't know if I should be terrified of that or like if I want
00:51:47
to highfive that man like he and he whispered it so he's like be careful and then just disappeared into the dark I'd
00:51:53
be like but it's like there's so many different ways you can whisper something was he like be careful or was he like be
00:51:58
careful I feel like difference cuz I feel like he's like a chill gentleman cuz she described him as an older
00:52:04
gentleman and I and she was like I'm not worried about this guy at all he's just
00:52:07
chilling no so I feel like this guy was just like be careful yeah like like calm
00:52:11
it down like take take it easy yeah and just it's all good and then he just like
00:52:15
Homer Simpson into the bushes yeah exactly maybe it was home maybe it was Homer Simpson uh I finally wake up for
00:52:22
real this time my heart pounding the next morning I tell my boyfriend about my dream the faceless people the re
00:52:28
occurring torture and the old man that had come to visit me my boyfriend grew up in the same neighborhood that we were
00:52:33
living in now so he knew the previous owner of our house I never mentioned the feeling of the older gentleman to him
00:52:39
before because well I wasn't sure how to handle my intuitions and feelings just yet and I didn't want him to be weirded
00:52:44
out as I continued to explain my dream to him and tell him about the cautionary message from the older man he stops
00:52:51
turns and stares at me I asked him why he looks so frightened and he asked me to describe the older man I told him he
00:52:57
was tall bony looking with a head of gray hair he shows me a picture of the previous owner of the house and asks me
00:53:03
does he look like this man it was indeed the same man for my dreams we were shook
00:53:07
the old man that I felt the presence in our house had died in our house before we moved in he died of natural causes
00:53:13
explaining the reason I felt no ill will from this older man my boyfriend never told me about the older man because he
00:53:19
didn't want me to feel creeped out so this is my tale about how lucid dreaming confirmed my intuition that indeed there
00:53:25
was an older gentleman Spirit looking out for me in our house now that I confirmed that intuition I feel quite at
00:53:31
peace knowing I have him around to help guide me that is nice I know right however I'm still not sure what his CAU
00:53:36
cautionary message was about perhaps don't listen to every stupid thing you hear on Tik Tok or maybe my mirror is a
00:53:42
portal that I just bought it from Walmart so could it really be haunted anyway I'm still continuing to learn
00:53:47
more about my intuitions and feelings and would love any guidance you all have on the subject I love you both More Than
00:53:52
Words and keep it weird but not so weird or maybe do keep it so weird that you listen to your intuition about an old
00:53:57
Friendly Ghost that lives in your house and gives you cautionary messages about not wanting not listening to advice from
00:54:02
Tik Tok or maybe your mirror you just bought from Walmart is a portal love always
00:54:07
Nick I don't know I think that mirror could be trying to tell you something I think I think that old man maybe was
00:54:13
saying like I think that was his like be careful what you do in your dreams yeah
00:54:18
like I think he was like don't listen to everything like that could have that this could be a punishment I don't think
00:54:23
we're supposed to ask people what time or date it is in our dreams I think there's some it wasn't great when I did
00:54:28
it yeah you had a horrible terrifying experience to the point where I'd never do it and I've I've never heard of it
00:54:34
working well for or like working out for somebody that was very strange I think there are things that we are simply not
00:54:41
not ready to understand or Not Meant to understand and like I don't personally I
00:54:48
don't think dreams are just dreams no I think there's something more think there's something to it that we don't
00:54:54
understand like I I I agree that it's probably part of it at least is like us trying to process what we've seen
00:54:59
throughout our day and stuff like that but I think and maybe maybe it varies maybe there are certain dreams where
00:55:05
your brain is processing and then maybe there are other dreams where you do go somewhere else that you're possibly not
00:55:13
supposed to be the brain is so complex and there's so much that we don't understand possibly know everything
00:55:19
about what's happening yeah so I feel like there's just when I when it's like when it's very clear that you can't know
00:55:26
everything I'm like then there's something something you know yeah I think so you
00:55:31
know I definitely think so yeah all right broes we got one more this one's hilarious and it's it's a little bit of
00:55:39
a short one but it says listen to Tales six-year-old me astral projects damn hi weirdos my name is Katie blue just like

00:56:36
brother's room was an electric fireplace that kept the house warm during the cold
00:56:40
Pennsylvania Winters if his bedroom door was open you would have a clear view of
00:56:44
said fireplace well one winter night my brother woke up around 3:00 a.m. to find
00:56:48
his bedroom door open tired and dazed he thought he saw something standing in front of the glowing fireplace after
00:56:55
wiping the sweep the sleep from his eyes he realized it was me it me it me I was
00:57:00
standing directly in front of his open bedroom door with my [ __ ] head down fully illuminated by the fire initially
00:57:07
he told me to get lost cuz he was trying to sleep but I would not move annoyed he
00:57:11
repeatedly told me to knock it off and go back to bed by now he was yelling it Kate you're not funny get upstairs and
00:57:17
go back to bed I just stood there with my head down not acknowledging his yelling or anything else for that matter
00:57:24

00:57:28
into fight ORF flight mode because he jumped out of bed darted past my creepy head down glowing ass and darted
00:57:33
upstairs to our parents room as he ran as he ran what what happened it was a soul as he ran down the H I don't know
