[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, let's do that.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I forgot to take my second dose of my not forgot, but I was I had the kids had no

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Sammy had two appointments today.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I one was like around noon and I left, but I didn't take like my second

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: dose of my ADHD meds.

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And so the first dose is like long worn off now.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just like more forgetful now, you know, more more.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my normal brain is back.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, just warning everyone.

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't make you feel wonky, like, you know, you're like super like OK,

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: not OK, but like how can I say it?

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you're able to concentrate and then boom, you're not.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Does it make you feel weird?

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's like I'm like, oh, hey, I can do things right now.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it starts wearing off and then I'm like, oh, I'm like feeling

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_00]: a little tired and then I'm like, oh man, I'm dead.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Not dead, but like, like my brain is done.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like researching it a little bit more because like I really want

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_01]: to get like a diagnosis and they were saying that like our brain, like.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I know I just my brain went.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Like our brain is like has to be like a hyperactive.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_01]: How can I say it?

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Like stimulated in order for us to do stuff.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And for an ADHD person, the brain has to be stimulated.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: But then the stimulation is what causes the fatigue and the

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and the other stuff that that is associated with ADHD.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So it becomes a cycle.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like a never ending cycle of trying to stimulate your brain.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And like chasing things that make your you or your brain keep

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_00]: your attention, keep you happy.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So like, like I have an issue where I I basically had like eight

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_00]: cups of coffee every day before medication and like after I'm like,

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_00]: damn it's too late to drink coffee, even though I've already had eight all day

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: around six. I'm like, all right, time to go buy some candy because like

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I need something to feel alive basically.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And so then I would like, I don't know, eat a bunch of chocolate at work

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_00]: and just try and like survive the day.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_00]: But basically like just trying to do or like scrolling on your phone

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: because like, I don't know what else that dopamine.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: So it was that overeating.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like years ago it was like I could work out and get it from that,

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, like that would make keep me a little functioning.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_00]: But like these days, no.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like it all.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, just different things.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a cycle, like the thing that keeps you functioning.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. It is also what's making you tired.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Finding new random hobbies, which is actually how, you know,

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_00]: this whole podcast started anyway.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So not all bad.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Because yeah, I mean, like if I'm not doing something,

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: then I'm paralyzed on the couch because I don't want to do anything else

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: since me and my daughter got sick.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's been like a week.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, oh my God.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And today was like the first day that I actually did anything

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_01]: because I cleaned my my balcony.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And then like I was like fixing the plants, which by the way,

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a terrible plant mother.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Like they're like one of them is growing.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: The rest of them are fighting for their life.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Plants and I don't mix.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Like it's like survival of the fittest over here.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Harsh environment.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm like, I need to get diagnosed because what the fuck?

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I look around me like, what the fuck?

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I was sick, but this is not an excuse.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, enough about our brains, I guess,

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_00]: because I could go on and on.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been ever since I was going through the diagnosis process.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been like obsessively reading and reading about it,

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_00]: watching videos about ADHD, listening to podcasts about it.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I need to stop, but I can't.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like one day I'll get over it.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But lately this is all that's all I've been listening to.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's I feel it's like you're finally knowing who what makes you you

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: after so many years and you're like, I want to know how my brain works.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to know how I want to know everything.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And I wonder you want to know about yourself and it's understandable.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the funniest thing though has been like discovering something

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_00]: that I'm like, I thought was like a, oh, that's so Christina.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, damn, that was like ADHD.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Who am I?

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_00]: What am I?

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Am I what am I?

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: What is going on?

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, like I'm like trying to think of an example and I can't think of one.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Like for me, it's like all my art hobbies.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, that's not my personality.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_01]: That's ADHD.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Damn, no, I can't.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_00]: There's like I'll think of one one day.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Like remember, like last year I was like really into painting.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I have that little alien still.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's like my ass was all like I can't even there's

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_00]: have been too many hobbies that I randomly start for three months,

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_00]: go all in dumb and like in my dumb ass possession of my credit card.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Luckily, I have a job, so then I pay it off, you know?

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm like, and then I don't do it again.

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Pearlor beads.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't to that one.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Remember that.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you were there for a few years, though.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like so.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was a couple years.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't even feel like that would be a hobby.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_01]: That was something I actually enjoyed.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for what those are hobbies, things you enjoy.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, you know what I mean?

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Like they weren't just like side quests.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like you know why it lasted?

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It lasted longer because my stepson was then really into it.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I would do it with him, but I stopped doing it.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And then he started doing it.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I was like, Tim, I have to iron all these.

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I would do it with him once he got over it.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Then I had no like nothing that I was like, I have to do this for me.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I was not interested in it.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_00]: You said, yeah, crocheting.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: That's good, though, because I've been crocheting for like 20 years.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So nice.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is a long time.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_00]: That's why you're so good at it.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I am.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Bees are so comfortable.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But like I'm like on like I'm working on like five projects

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that once and I'm like, oh, no, what did I do?

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that sounds about right.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_00]: What was it?

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I tried. Oh my God, was cross stitching.

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I love cross stitching.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That lasted like a couple months.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I never touched the things again.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And then like a few months ago, I was like, why do I still have these?

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And I give it away.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_00]: I briefly tried to draw that lasted like two weeks.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And then my ass bought these special drawing pens.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, what am I doing?

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't need these.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to keep doing this.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't.

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And then.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, mountain biking lasted like six months.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And I miss it.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't done it again.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_00]: But that one I did go and buy like a brand new.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_01]: My latest, my latest site.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what to do, like side hobby,

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: because I feel like crochet is my main hobby

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_00]: and then everything else is called them hyper fixation.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: What's it called?

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Because have you been on like cake talk?

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I have.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you seen the drama with the sprinkle cake?

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: No, actually.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So there's this like lady who like I'm talking about it was an atrocious

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: looking cake, like it looked half-assed as she was trying to sell it.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Like she was meant that the customer wouldn't pay $80 for it.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, ma'am,

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't pay $5 for that.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01]: But OK, like that's that's a cute cake.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: If it comes from your like 10 year old, you know what I mean?

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not from a business.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm like, oh, yes.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_01]: There was like, I'm going to bake my son a cake for his birthday.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's that's my new thing.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, yeah.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_00]: That happened to me with costumes and sewing.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I randomly was like, I'm going to make my substance Halloween costume

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_00]: like when he was five.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So eight years ago, got a sewing machine, got everything.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I made it. I did.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I feel that a month.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I made a few more things, but I've never sewed again.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I feel that because I sewed my daughter's dress

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_01]: for one of my son's birthday.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I have two sewing machines.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Like what do I do with this?

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: They're just sitting there collecting dust now.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, my my next hyper fixation

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_01]: is cake baking.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see how that goes next month.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Good luck.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll be posting pictures.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_00]: There he is.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know that.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I was watching Nelde and then I went and looked for like Nelde

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_00]: at home kids, but I couldn't find any.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, good, because I really shouldn't be buying things right now.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That was like a couple months ago.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it was a while ago.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's just another example of like, oh, I'm going to start doing

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: this and like, what the fuck am I doing?

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: The only thing I've ever like, you know, continuously done is like crochet.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it. That's it.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is now the podcast is what I've continuously done.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is the one I'm not leaving.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_00]: And then, yeah, before that, it was probably my bike using my bike.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, OK, let's get on to spooky stories.

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Enough about our brains again for the second time.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Spooky story time.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I have a few Reddit stories.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I only have like three.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, so I'll do three. You do three.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, my first one is titled, apparently I babysat more than one kid.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I already don't like creep factor already.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh huh. Yeah, kids, man.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_00]: This one was posted a year ago by user Dusk Muse 7-Eleven.

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, so when I was 13, I babysat a little girl named Emma,

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_00]: one of the sweetest kids you could think of.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I was a regular babysitter for her so much so that when I couldn't

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_00]: babysit for a few months, she called all of her other babysitters by my name.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: This happened after I came back to be a regular babysitter for her.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It was about 10 30 at night.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I had already put Emma to bed and had been channel surfing.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: The house was set up so that the front half was open concept.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: The living room, the dining room and the kitchen were side by side

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_00]: in between in between the living room and dining room.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, it's harder because like people don't put there's no grammar,

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_00]: correct grammar. So I'm like, where do I pause?

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I hate that.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: That happened to me the last time we recorded.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, how dare you when I didn't do it?

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever. It's too late now. OK.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, there was an open doorway to the back half of the house.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: At one end, Emma's room.

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_00]: The other end, her parents with the bathroom connected to their room.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, while sitting on the couch,

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I heard something run down the hall to the bathroom,

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: assuming it was just Emma going to the bathroom.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I let a few minutes go by.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I heard the feet heading back down the hall.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I turned to tell her to go back and make sure she flushed as I hadn't heard it.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_00]: But I only saw the tips of black hair that had run past the open doorway.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the problem.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Emma is blonde. Oh, no.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I quickly jumped and rushed to Emma's bedroom, throwing open the door.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Her nightly was bright enough to make her out.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, to make out like her shape.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_00]: OK. As she sat up, she looked at me rubbing her eyes, a confusion, confusion.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I asked. I, oh my God, cannot read.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_00]: OK. I asked her if she went to the bathroom.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_00]: When she shook her head,

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_00]: I looked around her room checking under her bed and a quick peek in her closet.

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see anything and I just told Emma I was double checking for monsters.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God, I would have been like, I'm looking for something like

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just looking for monsters right now.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't be scared.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_00]: But I saw a ghost.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_00]: That just makes it worse.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm checking for monsters.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_00]: OK. I took Emma back in saying good night as I headed out of her room again,

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: leaving it slightly open.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I began to walk away, but I stopped when I heard Emma speak.

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Thinking she was going to ask me something.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I turned to listen.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Only to hear you should have said something.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't scare her. I really like her.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: No, my mess. No.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Tengo miedo.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Tengo miedo.

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say anything to the mom and I continued to babysit.

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Really? OK.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I continued to babysit Emma until I moved away.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I always made an effort to after that to include the being.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_00]: No, not I.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_00]: If Emma was drying an extra spot with setup, it seemed to make Emma happy

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_00]: and nothing ever started with me again.

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_00]: This person is better than me because I would have been like, fuck no.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, how much money were you getting paid though?

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Because. That's true.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a call.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: What would you would you would you stay in a super haunted

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_01]: or be like a cemetery caretaker to a super haunted cemetery

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_01]: for $80? I'm like, yes.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, I would do $40 an hour.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. I mean, the ghosts are going to be best friends.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Actually, if you gave me $30 an hour plus benefits, I'd do it.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Like best friends like me and Casper are going to have like our,

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_01]: you know, little outings midnight.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, picnics.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care. Name it. It's happening.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, my turn.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Apologize ahead of time, guys.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I am going through.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, fever.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: She is going through it.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Through it.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I was out of I was outside all day and my allergies were just.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, so this is

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: under subreddit real ghost stories by user legitimate underscore 80

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: underscore 9753 and it's titled My Dead Aunt Made Me and My Dad Breakfast.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, my aunt passed away in the mid 90s from a brain tumor.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I was in third grade and this hit me particularly hard, particularly,

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: partially, particularly.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I said it twice, it's partially,

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_01]: partially because she was awesome and partially because it was the first

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_01]: adult who I was close to who died of my life.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: We traveled from my home in Maryland to Manitoba for the funeral as a kid.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: My dad and I always were always wants to keep waking up like we were

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_01]: still on our time zone, no matter where we are.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_01]: So in the fact that we were there for a fairly upsetting funeral,

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_01]: this meant we were up way earlier than anyone else in the house.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: My aunt and uncle's house was as memory serves a pretty amazing

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_01]: modern for the time house.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The kitchen and the dining room were lofted over a huge open living room.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Once you made it all the way to the lofted area,

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: there was a smaller family room with a TV and a more formal dining room,

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_01]: a galley kitchen and a diner style banquet with a fish tank behind it.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It was the Rad House as I made my way up the stairs

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01]: to the loft, I could hear the TV and found my dad watching

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: the very bad, very forgettable Boris and Natasha movie.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_01]: This was the morning of the funeral and the day we would enter her ashes.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So we weren't up to chatting too much.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We watched the movies for a while and then as though everything was normal,

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: my aunt cheerfully popped out of the kitchen and asked us what we wanted for breakfast.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I like to be very clear, nothing initially felt wrong at all.

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't freak out, not even a side eye was exchanged.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: We just answered her and she went back out of you and started making breakfast.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember smelling bacon.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember being on my knees in the bank banquet,

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_01]: looking at the fish and then looking to my right and seeing her busily

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: making breakfast for us in the kitchen.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Eventually I made my way back over to the couch around that's that time.

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_01]: More people started coming upstairs.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Only then when the next person came upstairs to my dad

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and I look at each other in shock as the velled had suddenly been lifted.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_01]: No bacon had been made.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_01]: No mess in the kitchen, no nothing.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: My dad and I never had the chance after that to say anything about it.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And it slowly became a memory that got filed away.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Fast forward to college where all of a sudden one night

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: all the details of this comes rushing back to me.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_01]: It seemed a little suspect.

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So when I was home for Christmas after my parents and I were

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_01]: wrapping up a nice dinner, I asked my dad a weird question.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Weird question, dad, did we see on blank blanks ghost?

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. And I don't want to talk about it.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Based.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Based on my mom's look of shock and befuddled, what?

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty clear he never had said anything to her about it either.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That was it for a while.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Jump a few more years forward.

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And he apparently did talk to my mom and one of their

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and our close family friends.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Apparently the story was hugely to her and her daughter because

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_01]: unbeknownst to us a day or two before the funeral, her daughter

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: had been at the mall and saw my aunt across the busy shopping crowd

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: smiling and waving to her before she inexplicably vanished in the hubbub.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We still talk about it very much.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it is upset and unnerved my dad for valid reasons.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But I was happy to know that I hadn't made it up

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_01]: as I thought it was odd, but nice memory of her.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_01]: That is.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_00]: That's actually not a terrifying.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So I like that sweet ghost encounter.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she's like, I'm going to see everyone

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_00]: randomly just to say bye.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Like one last time, like I know she's going to be at the mall.

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be waiting for food for breakfast.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm just going to pretend to cook them a meal that they can't eat.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I know. Like that's weird, though.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It's almost like they are like tight, like time slipped, but not.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Because like a last goodbye or something.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: But like this like it came with like the aroma of food.

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And then almost like they were like under like a,

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, like something because they didn't even freak out.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It was weird. Yeah.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I like that.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But it was like, hey, I'm here.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm watching over you guys.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That was sweet.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like that one.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I somehow forgot to write the title and the link

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_00]: and the username of my next story.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know. Let's just I have no idea.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_00]: My bad. Here it goes, though.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. Here it is.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I did I did write it.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, OK, perfect.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_00]: So we do know what it is. OK, so this is titled

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_00]: me and my kid saw and heard someone

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: by user Jack and coffee.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is a year ago from the paranormal subreddit as well.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I 30 female had just woken up and was getting ready for the day

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: in our bathroom, which is attached to our bedroom.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_00]: If you look through the door,

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_00]: you have a full view of our bed and my sleeping five year old son.

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I saw something adult signs to move past the door

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_00]: in the dark bedroom at regular walking speed.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So I opened the door a bit and looked out.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_00]: There was no one there and my kid was snoring.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_00]: My husband should have been at work for two hours at that point.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I checked our security cameras and saw nothing,

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_00]: but my husband leaving for work earlier.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I checked it up to anxiety and sleep deprivation

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_00]: as I'm heavily pregnant and can't sleep for shit right now.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I do not miss that.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I still can't sleep, but I don't miss being heavily pregnant.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the worst.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_00]: The worst.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_00]: A few minutes later, I heard what sounded like an adult man humming.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But it only lasted but it only lasted a few seconds.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't name the tune.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't tell where it was coming from as we sleep with the box fan

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_00]: on full blast right outside the door.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And I had the exhaust fan on at the time.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I looked out of the bathroom door again, nothing.

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Am I going crazy?

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I took a deep breath and continued washing my face.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_00]: The door was open about two to three inches.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And the mirror in our tiny bathroom is one that covers most of the wall

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_00]: from the counter to almost the ceiling.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It's big and you can see everything behind and around you.

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: The door is to my left right behind me.

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You could reach in and tap my shoulder

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_00]: out of the corner of my eye through the mirror.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I suddenly saw something that wasn't there before.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_00]: There was a hand reaching through the opening of the door,

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_00]: gripping the door frame right behind me.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It looked like a grown man's hand and was at eye level.

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I froze then turned around, half expecting my husband to be playing a prank

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_00]: because who else would be in here with me?

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: The hand was gone.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I even checked through the mirror instantly.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: My child screamed, Mama.

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_00]: And I jerked the door open, nothing there but a scared kid, wide eyes,

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_00]: eyes wide open.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't looking at me.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Who was that? Who, baby?

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I was trying not to sound scared.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_00]: He stared off into space for a few seconds

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_00]: and seemingly forgot about whatever happened.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Mama, why did you say my name?

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't, baby. Did you hear your name?

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You said my name real loud and then you weren't beside me.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I was in the bathroom and I didn't and I don't think I did, buddy.

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It sounded like you.

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I checked the cameras.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I checked the windows and doors, every room and closet shaking the whole time.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel safer living in this apartment than ever

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00]: than I ever have anywhere else, even alone.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And I have bad anxiety.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, it was if it was only one of us,

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I would have shrugged it off as sleep deprivation or night terrors,

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_00]: which my kid has never had.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Or something rational.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_00]: What did we see and hear?

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think? I don't know.

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I've, you know what?

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard stories of hands coming out of the wall before

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: they always freaked me out because they always happened to kids.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It was the story and I can't remember from where,

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_01]: but I heard it on either a podcast or like some kind of like TV show.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember, but there was like two kids.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_01]: They were like alone and some hands came out of the wall

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and grabbed one of them.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And they were like, let go, let go until one of them was like let go.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But it was weird.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what it reminds me of.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, whatever it is, I don't like it.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like that it said the kid's name and sounded like her.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_01]: That makes it sounds like a mimic, but I could be wrong.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I was thinking too.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to have the comments and it looks like a lot of people just think

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_00]: it's just the spirit, but I don't know.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Could be, but I don't like the mimicking part.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what I don't like on on TikTok.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_01]: My TikTok has been people telling their stories of them

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_01]: hearing something mimic their own voice.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, listen, like something mimicking somebody else's voice is weird as fuck.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But somebody mimicking your own voice to you.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, that's like worse.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_01]: No, that's what.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Mecago. Yeah, same.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, so this next story, I'm debating on which one to do.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is under subreddit real ghost stories and user X.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: K A A R U T O Z.

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how to pronounce that.

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to even try.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's titled I saw my mom as a shadow person

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, right. So this happened when I was around eight or 10

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_01]: around that age. I can't remember, but I know I was young.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: So ever since we moved into our new house,

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw the shadow man standing in the corner of my room

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_01]: near my closet door, right?

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He was taller than me.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_01]: OFC and was skinny, but not like a stick skinny.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_01]: He was the average weight man, and I used to see him every night,

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: but he never did anything.

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_01]: He just watched this creepy.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm hmm.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: So one day I chose to tell my mom, saying,

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_01]: there's a man in my room at night or there's a ghost in the corner of my room.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And she would say it's just your imagination stop playing.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was being so serious.

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So on this night, she said she would keep her door open for me, right?

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And my room is set up to where my bed is on the back wall, long way, right?

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And if I was laying down on my door with my door open,

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I could see into her room if her door was open.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God, the grammar.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So time came when it was where it was night, nighttime,

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and everyone went to bed and I'm in my room looking at TV

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and this man was there again just watching me.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And on this night fear was running through my body

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_01]: because I was so scared.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So I looked away from him into my mom's room

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and in her room, I see a shadow figure crouched down

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_01]: looking at me and then sent a shiver down my spine.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I was so scared to move.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like me and the figure were having a staring contest

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and I stared at it until I fell asleep because I was a child.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't stay up long, but I never told my mom about it

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: until I was older and we had moved to a different house.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So not only was there a shadow person in his room,

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: there's a shadow person seemingly coming from her room.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_00]: That's creepy.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Like double.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like it.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it was watching the mom and watching the kid.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's weird.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That's I don't know.

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_00]: As my dad likes to say when we do something he doesn't like,

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_00]: he's like, no, my God.

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Which I don't know how to translate that.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So it sounds same in English, but he doesn't like it.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_00]: It's what you're saying.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't like this.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't the staring contest.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You know how they say like shadow people have no defining features,

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: but like they people always say that they fear that not fear.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_01]: They feel.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Them watching. Yeah.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't like that.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh-oh.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: No, me cargo.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It's an opening phrase, by the way.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, so my next one is titled

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I saw a laughing demon like presence in my something.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't in my what?

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Hold on.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_00]: That can't be the full title.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, I saw a laughing demon like presence in my childhood foster home.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And this was submitted six months ago to the paranormal subreddit

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: by user Mel Bella.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Or is it Melly Bella?

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, so here it goes.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Never wrote about this before, but due to some recent events,

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_00]: it's been on my mind more thought I'd share to see what others thought

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_00]: or experienced for themselves.

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I was round eight, I think for background.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I had recently moved to the States and I was the quiet type.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I was in English classes, but outside of those,

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really have opportunity to talk to other people.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_00]: My foster family here was distant.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_00]: My foster parents weren't kind people.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_00]: They had a biological daughter who suffered from diagnosed

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_00]: but untreated bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression,

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_00]: among a list of other things.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's a lot. Yeah.

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: She was about four to five years older than me,

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_00]: but I was brought to their home to take care of her.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Play with her, calm her down, watch her.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry. That's messed up.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_01]: My alarm went off. So sorry.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, one day I am sitting at the end of the stairs.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm hiding, but not really because I'm not allowed to be around

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_00]: the house by myself.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_00]: This doesn't sound good.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_00]: The hallway to the kitchen is to my right

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: and I'm sitting there because my foster sister

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: is having a bad episode.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_00]: She stout her father.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_00]: What the hell? Wow.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_00]: OK.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And hadn't stopped screaming and kicking things.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Her parents are screaming and throwing things.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: They're yelling for me to clean up, but I can't be around

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_00]: blood and shouting anymore.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_00]: That's horrifying.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I should say trigger warning for abuse here.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK.

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm frozen on the bottom of the stairs

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_00]: when I suddenly feel something heavy on my back.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I look behind me to the top of the stairs

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_00]: and see this huge shadow figure

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_00]: peaking around the door of my foster sister's bedroom.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It quickly but also almost in slow motion

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_00]: exaggeratedly runs across the upstairs hallway

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_00]: and out of my view.

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_00]: It kind of looked like a combination out of that sign

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_00]: of a person walking at a crosswalk

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_00]: and a cartoon character creep walking.

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_00]: This sounds horrifying and just disgustingly horrifying,

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_00]: but it was fast and too tall

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_00]: and had a noticeably open mouth

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_00]: like it was grinning or laughing.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_00]: The footsteps sounded hollow and heavy

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_00]: and echoed, but the upstairs was carpeted.

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It was an awful sound that I heard

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_00]: continue down the rest of the hallway.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_00]: There's only me, my foster parents

[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and their daughter in this house.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_00]: There is a small closet that I sleep in

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_00]: at the end of the hallway and my foster parents room.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_00]: My room is too small to hide anyone or anything

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_00]: and they keep their bedroom locked.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I never saw it again during my time with that family.

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think about it almost 20 years later.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it could have been my child's

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_00]: mind's way of interpreting my surroundings.

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But the fear I had after seeing the shadow

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_00]: outweighed the next seven years living with that family.

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a different kind of fear.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, oh.

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_00]: The description of it, I don't like it.

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's negative energy there.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_00]: The top comment, one of the comments is like

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_00]: an entity that crawls is a hard fucking pass for me.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like it's just it's unsettling.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, subreddit real paranormal stories.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Username Dear Dear Agony.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, what?

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, wait, the user names.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Dear Dear Agony.

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, sounds painful.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. So it's titled Black Eye Children.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And lovely stories.

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I had experience with Black

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Eye Children when I worked at a hotel that night was extremely slow.

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: We only had five rooms occupied.

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I worked that night.

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That night shift, I got there at 11 p.m.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and I already felt an intense fear.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: This was usually this was pretty unusual as I was used to working

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_01]: there all alone during those five nights a week.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I rarely saw people on my shift.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So it was 1 a.m.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And I get even more freaked out.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I look around the lobby and no one was there.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I look at the cameras.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: There was there was one for literally everywhere in the hotel.

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I could see every inch of the grounds from the front desk.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: There wasn't anyone on any camera.

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I look down for a couple seconds and back up

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and I see a little girl at the counter.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: She's so short, I can only see her nose her nose up.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Her eyes were solid black and she had black hair.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She came out of nowhere and managed to make zero noise.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_01]: She was just staring at me silently.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I jumped and I was so scared at that point.

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Like no fucking shit like yeah, yeah.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have been like home.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I stuttered.

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Hi, can I help you?

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, why do they see the black guys?

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, be nice.

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Hi, can I help you live?

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have been like, I quit.

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Excuse you.

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I quit.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And she practically she practically whispers

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01]: in a monotone voice that didn't suit her.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Can I have some towels?

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And I said, OK, and I'm practically doubling over with fear.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I go around the corner to grab some towels

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and turn to see she's in the entryway behind the counter.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, I was so scared.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I could see her full body at this point.

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And she was exactly the kind of little girl

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: you would expect in a horror movie.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Waist length black hair, pale complexion,

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: black eyes and barely audible.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I handed her the towels and she grabbed them.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Her hands touched mine as she did,

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: and it was super clammy in the same voice.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I was before she says, thank you.

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And turns and walks away.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked at the cameras and didn't see anyone

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: go into any rooms or see her anywhere.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Remain terrified all night

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and still have no explanation for this.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I usually do not do not scare easily and love kids.

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But that night I felt a new brand new kind of fear.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Kudos to that person

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_01]: who like even under fear was like, here's some towels,

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_00]: creepy little girl under fear still did their job, not me.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have been like, I quit.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't have towels.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And then it's like and then like I wouldn't even risk

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_01]: like where is your parents?

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's like adult sized, you know, black eyed people.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be like, no, I got adults, black eyed adults.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be like, this is this is worse than the little ones.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: This is worse than the little one.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_00]: A whole family of them and be like, I'm out.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't get paid enough for this.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm hmm.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that all? Yeah.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like sitting here waiting for I don't know what.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow, that last one.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_01]: No, see, that's why I also like I stay in doors

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_01]: after like nights. I'm like, what if there's something I don't like outside?

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_00]: What if a black eyed kid comes out and asks you for a towel?

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That's why we don't go outside.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why we don't go outside.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, it was rubbing my eyes.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is super random, but oh, well, no, not that random

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_00]: for me because I saw one of my other coworkers came into

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: to drop something off or something when I was at work like two days ago.

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And she just got lashes and they look so cute.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I want lashes, but I rub my eyes so much.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like one of my, I don't know, many things that I have to do.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I rub my face like every fucking rub my eyes every five seconds.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: This is also why another reason like makeup is so

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_00]: an issue for me because I'm always rubbing my eyes.

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if I'm not twirling my hair, I'm like rubbing my eyes.

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the problem.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That's yourself soothing, right?

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I rub my hands or like I count in sign language.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is weird.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that one.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That one's my thing. I count in sign language.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_00]: But man, I wish I could have lashes.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: They look so cute.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_01]: They do.

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But then I also hear horror stories like people who are allergic to the glue.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, like, I know how to put on false lashes

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: that you get in store, but that you do yourself.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't it's not that glue that like stays on, you know what I mean?

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not like that super, super like last a whole month glue.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, last a few hours or a day at most.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Carmen has been buying some like that lately and they look good.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And I've been meaning to do it and learn how to do it.

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And I still haven't done it.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, those those ones are easy to deal with because it's like you could

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_01]: like the glue is not that strong.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you can find some that like really adhere to your skin

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and they'll last all day, but when you come to remove them, they're easy to remove.

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like the ones that people get like done in person

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: like to last like a whole month, those are hardcore.

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And like people have some serious allergies to the glue.

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Like their eyes are like bloodshot red.

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And then like you also have to be careful with your cleaning

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_01]: because I've seen people have like the nastiest, gankiest

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: like crusted eyelashes.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, no, no, like, no, real life, spooky story.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. It's like they have those like like the mites in them.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, no, no, no, no.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Why are you serious?

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen some and like I know that like that wouldn't happen to me, right?

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_01]: But I have such a like a fear of it.

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Like no, no, no.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And then like I don't want to go like blind.

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_01]: What if I like I'm allergic to the glue?

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_01]: No, you should I technically should do like a skin test, but still.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. That's before you put it on your eye.

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_00]: That's some good advice.

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But still. Yeah.

[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_01]: No. And then like anxiety would never be like, you know what?

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to rip these off.

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: There's just so many things that would make it impossible.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, the what is called the target eyelashes.

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm going with.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_01]: If I ever.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I need to I got to practice those.

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I guess because I'm going to probably release this in a couple of days.

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Just want to let the patrons know first, but we do have some new merge

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_00]: just like tie dye tie dye T-shirts with like the words as spooky

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_00]: in old English across like the chest.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_00]: They're super cute.

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I just got mine.

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I have to like wash my hair to take pictures.

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I haven't taken pictures of.

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I need to get some for my kids because they're really into tie dye right now.

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you know what?

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I need to update it so there's kids sizes.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think my son wears adult sizes now.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's probably tall enough now.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But my daughter is so I guess you could wear like an adult small as jammy.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_00]: OK. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And then grow into it.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's also crop top.

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it has a spooky in it.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Carmen got one of those, so she's going to send me pictures when she gets it.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I haven't announced it because I don't have.

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't taken pictures with them yet.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Should we announce the book?

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God, we haven't done that

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_00]: because you haven't recorded with an official episode.

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_00]: That is true. We decided the book.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they could be the first.

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. So yeah, patrons, you get to know first.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_00]: You're in the know first. OK.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00]: The book is the haunting of Alejandra.

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that the name? Yes. Yes.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00]: By V Castro.

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I still have to buy it.

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I got it and I still but I'm reading throne right now.

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I read that like, oh, OK, like five years ago or six now.

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I had a really hardcore Star Wars book phase where I had the throne trilogy.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I had like some book where Han Solo and Chewbacca are fighting zombies in space.

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Love that one was super cool.

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_01]: The throne is so good.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I've had it for years now and I was like,

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I should read it. I should because I've read other like I have the other

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Star Wars books, but I never got to throne.

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm kicking myself because I'm like, are you kidding me?

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the best.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So good. Like, OK, so if you guys are a Star Wars star wars nurse,

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_01]: like me and Kristy, are you a Star Wars star?

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm over the hyper fixation now.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So not anymore.

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, I've been a Star Wars nerd since I was a kid,

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_01]: because that's like one thing me and my family did.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: We were like like we did Star Wars marathons

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_01]: since I was like four, I don't know.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It's our entire life, right?

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_01]: So and I've been into Star Wars since I can remember.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But besides the point, the point is

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_01]: this book is crazy good.

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And I always tell people like I was telling people if even if you don't

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_01]: like the Star Wars universe or you're not into it, the way his mind works.

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God. Yeah.

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, yeah, I did not see this coming.

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And usually like when I read a book, I'm like, I saw this coming a mile away.

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, like, how, how?

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Where where did this come to this?

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they explain I'm like, oh, my God, like what is his name?

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Timothy Timothy Zander or something like that.

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the author.

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, dude, the author is a brilliant man because holy crap.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, such a good villain to go.

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, you know what?

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It's it's hard to like root for the good guys.

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, go go Thrawn.

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Team Thrawn.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_00]: He could do no wrong hashtag in this.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Thrawn did nothing wrong.

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's such a good book.

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, wow.

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not I haven't finished it.

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I should finish it.

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, look for busy people.

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_00]: But we named it that.

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll say we'll discuss it in three months.

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably.

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It took a while to struggle.

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_00]: That was it was a struggle bus.

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Because Christina, you and your family got sick

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and then me and my family got sick.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_00]: to actually make the stickers.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I forgot about it.

[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm remembering now, but now it's too late.
