Scary moments can happen anywhere and at any time, but I noticed a pattern: pregnant women were expressing a type of "sixth sense" when it came to ghosts and spirits.
In the first story by Vee, we hear about experiences in her home. In the second one, we hear from a mother who shares something different that she noticed about her son Rayden.

Hi Edwin, I've been a fan for a couple years now and you're.
00:01:18
My go to podcast and all your. Podcasts on Spotify.
00:01:22
Really cool. I am a beater and I bead for
00:01:26
hours listening to your podcast. Beating as in dealing with
00:01:31
beads, not beating people up, right?
00:01:34
I hope so. Here's a story.
00:01:37
Well, I have a few short stories to share.
00:01:38
I've been thinking of sending them in for quite some time.
00:01:41
I'll start with when I was young, I would say around. 4.
00:01:45
I know I wasn't in school yet so anyway I was playing in my
00:01:48
living room by myself as didn't have any siblings yet and I kept
00:01:52
seeing something in the corner of my eye and I knew it wasn't
00:01:55
my mom because she was napping. It was just.
00:01:58
The two of us living in the house, so I knew.
00:02:00
It was a spirit. I'm Native American so I grew up
00:02:04
listening to my cocums. Talk about spirits, etcetera.
00:02:07
That's all I could. Think of it to be so as much as
00:02:10
I try not to feel. Creeped out I.
00:02:12
Remembered my cocum telling me. If I ever see a spirit.
00:02:16
Not to be afraid. So when I cut it.
00:02:18
Again I look to see. Who or what it was?
00:02:22
What I've seen was a man peeking his head to look at me like a
00:02:27
parent would check in on me. I didn't feel like he was.
00:02:31
Bad or negative? So I took it as.
00:02:34
He wanted to make sure I was OK or something.
00:02:36
There was a couple of times I remember seeing him do that and
00:02:41
I accepted it. Then there was another time when
00:02:43
I was around 10 in winter time when two of my cousins and
00:02:46
myself were playing in a. Ditch.
00:02:48
I had a big patch of ice. We were skating, playing hockey,
00:02:52
and one of my cousins had a whistle.
00:02:54
Since he was hockey, since he was in.
00:02:57
Hockey and had all his gear with him.
00:03:00
We were outside till it was dark.
00:03:02
And the moonlight was the only thing lighting the area.
00:03:06
That's why we stayed out there that long.
00:03:08
Even the Northern Lights were out.
00:03:11
Sounds like a really cool place. We grew up being told not to
00:03:16
look at the Northern Lights or to whistle at night.
00:03:19
So anyway, my cousin had ADHD and started using his whistle.
00:03:22
When he would hit the puck the first couple of times.
00:03:27
That's interesting. Interesting connection there.
00:03:29
The first couple of times you and my other cousins would yell.
00:03:31
Hey, don't whistle. Remember.
00:03:34
And he would. Be like Oh yeah, and.
00:03:36
We'll do it again like you forgot lol.
00:03:39
But after repeatedly. Telling him and he.
00:03:41
Would still do it, so we just gave up.
00:03:44
But then I seen someone or I thought it was someone walking
00:03:47
toward us. I told my cousin hey someone is
00:03:50
coming SH. They were all hyper being loud
00:03:55
but as soon as I said SH they stopped and looked to where I
00:03:58
was. Looking my cousin who had ADHD
00:04:01
said hey man. Who are you?
00:04:03
We got no reply so both my cousins started.
00:04:06
Shouting Hey guy, who are you? Who are you man?
00:04:11
But still no reply. And then I noticed that the
00:04:13
person wasn't really moving. Closer, as you would if you were
00:04:16
really walking. Towards someone and then looked
00:04:18
down and it didn't have their feet on the ground nor was there
00:04:22
crunch noises from walking on snow on the road.
00:04:26
So I panicked and I yelled he's not moving or touching the
00:04:30
ground and we all started running up the hill to my
00:04:33
kokum's house. We all had.
00:04:36
Skates on and kept slipping. I try to pull.
00:04:38
Them both up but their panic yells were really scaring.
00:04:41
Me. So as I was reaching back to
00:04:43
help them. I've seen whatever it was.
00:04:46
Getting closer. And then I yelled at both of my
00:04:49
cousins. Hurry up.
00:04:52
Just take them off and run. So I basically ditched them.
00:04:58
Or so I thought. Hello.
00:04:59
Well, they did take off their skates to.
00:05:01
Run right behind me and they kept screaming my name and
00:05:04
grabbing me which made it worse for me.
00:05:06
We managed to get inside and ran straight to the window.
00:05:08
To try to see what it was but. We never seen anything.
00:05:13
We did tell our kokum. All at the same time.
00:05:15
At the end, all of her mix talking, she says, well, she
00:05:20
didn't have been whistling at the Northern Lights, but we
00:05:25
would bring it up every once in a while and through the years.
00:05:28
I recently got told a bit. Of history on that hill, because
00:05:32
I was told long. Ago, before I was born.
00:05:34
That there were a few young men partying together and the party
00:05:38
turned bad and one of them got killed.
00:05:41
So I'm guessing it's. Spirit stuck there another.
00:05:45
Story is when I'm an. Adult with three kids and four
00:05:49
or five. Months pregnant with my 4th, Me
00:05:52
and my boyfriend were living on his reservation in a three
00:05:54
bedroom house my oldest wasn't living with.
00:05:57
Us yet first child. From a previous relationship, so
00:06:00
we only had two. Girls 1 was 4, the other was 1.
00:06:05
So anyway, my boyfriend had a broken leg from playing hockey.
00:06:08
Outside on the res roads which he had a full.
00:06:10
Leg cast that went up to his. Thigh, so I had to do a lot for
00:06:14
him. Since he couldn't move around
00:06:15
much, it was getting late and I sent our.
00:06:17
Little girls to bed. And they shared a room so they
00:06:20
wouldn't be scared in a new home.
00:06:22
Then we headed to bed. We already been living there.
00:06:25
For a couple of weeks. And there were times that I had
00:06:27
to get up in the middle of the night.
00:06:29
And tell our girls to get back to bed that.
00:06:32
Would catch them playing with toys or making each other laugh.
00:06:36
Way. Past her bedtime, I woke up to
00:06:39
feet stampering around. So I laid.
00:06:42
There, listening to see if I could hear them laugh or
00:06:44
talking. But all I could hear was feet
00:06:49
stomping. I thought to myself, Oh.
00:06:52
Those girls are supposed to be sleeping, so I got up as fast as
00:06:56
I could. I opened the door.
00:07:00
And quietly rushed to their. Door and opened it only to see
00:07:04
them both. Sleeping.
00:07:06
My first thought was no way they can't fake sleep.
00:07:10
They're too little to. Put themselves into.
00:07:12
Bed that fast. The room was right across our
00:07:16
room which was around 10 steps. As I looked around the room, I
00:07:20
got chills realizing that it wasn't.
00:07:24
Their feet that I heard, so I closed the door.
00:07:29
And I ran back to my bed. I tried to wake up my boyfriend
00:07:33
but he was sound asleep and I couldn't sleep.
00:07:36
I laid there listening all night and a few nights.
00:07:38
Later I had to wake. Up in the middle of the night to
00:07:41
make my one year. Old girl, a bottle.
00:07:44
She was crying but I was so tired I tried to shush, pat her
00:07:48
back to sleep. So I didn't have to make her
00:07:50
bottle. But it wasn't working plus.
00:07:53
In the back of my mind, I was still.
00:07:54
Creeped out about those feet stampering.
00:07:57
So I headed down the hall towards the kitchen.
00:08:00
I was turning on lights. As I headed that way when I got
00:08:03
to the kitchen, light on half the drawers.
00:08:06
They were open. Along with half the cupboards.
00:08:09
I knew for. A fact that they were closed
00:08:11
before we went to bed. So I stood there, frozen,
00:08:14
getting chills and goosebumps. I decided right there and then.
00:08:18
Nope. I turned off the light and went
00:08:21
back to my room. I kept.
00:08:22
Water by my bed for when I would get thirsty at night.
00:08:25
And filled her bottle with water and gave it to her.
00:08:29
I turned all the lights off. And went to bed.
00:08:32
In the morning I told my boyfriend and he sat there
00:08:35
looking stunned and told me to ask her.
00:08:38
Oldest. I told them it wasn't them.
00:08:41
You know, they mostly play in the room and they barely play
00:08:43
out here in the kitchen or living room.
00:08:45
They were connected areas. The other toys and comfort was
00:08:49
in the room. Plus they had ATV.
00:08:51
In the room, he kind of. Shrugged it off and said.
00:08:55
It's haunted here a couple of weeks later.
00:08:59
My boyfriend bought a stereo with big speakers so we could
00:09:02
watch. Movies with better.
00:09:03
Sound it worked good, it was loud.
00:09:06
Which were we were both enjoyed watching movies with?
00:09:09
Loud sound after one of our movie nights and the girls.
00:09:13
In bed we headed to. Bed only to be woken up a
00:09:15
couple. Of hours later, this time with
00:09:19
loud static sounds like when you lose a.
00:09:21
Signal on the radio. They both got up from bed and
00:09:24
yelled. What is that?
00:09:27
He says. The radio, but I didn't leave it
00:09:31
on radio. I was too scared to turn it off
00:09:35
so he had to crutch his way. There and turn it off.
00:09:39
It felt like he was. Taking too long, so I.
00:09:41
Peeked out and. Didn't see him.
00:09:42
I got a panicked feeling and started speed walking down the
00:09:45
hall to the living room. He was standing in front of the
00:09:49
TV, kind of bent over looking at the stereo.
00:09:52
I asked him what's going on. Then he turns around and says I
00:09:59
don't know what the. F.
00:10:01
Is wrong. Makes no sense.
00:10:04
Why would it turn to the radio and no timer is on?
00:10:10
We both agreed that it was a weird.
00:10:12
Thing and headed back to bed. Another night we were all
00:10:16
sleeping and got woken up to the same noise.
00:10:20
It started. Off low which made me.
00:10:22
Question if it was just if I was just.
00:10:23
Hearing things. And it gradually got louder.
00:10:26
And louder I shook my. Boyfriend to get up.
00:10:29
And when he did, I told him it's on again.
00:10:34
He was kind of dazed and then realized that it was.
00:10:36
A sound. He got up fast and grabbed the
00:10:38
scratches. He moved to the door and opened
00:10:40
it and looked down the hallway. He paused, kind of hesitated.
00:10:46
I started heading down the hall. I got up to follow him.
00:10:51
Just in case he. Falls or something.
00:10:55
I'm sorry, this is funny. I'm like.
00:10:59
Part of me says we it has so messed up you just leave him.
00:11:03
Like and. Then part of me is.
00:11:06
Freaking out right now. Because like, you know, you go
00:11:12
just to make sure he doesn't fall, like or just in case he
00:11:16
falls. Anyway, my bad.
00:11:19
I hope he got better. Once he got to the radio, he
00:11:25
shut it off and turned it back on full blast all the way.
00:11:28
Up to the Max volume. He slammed off the off.
00:11:31
Button and unplugged it. He both must.
00:11:34
Have been so startled that we both laughed and said F we did
00:11:39
look. Around the house and check on
00:11:40
our. Girls then try to go back to
00:11:42
sleep. It happened a couple more times,
00:11:45
but we chose to ignore it. Now that that was creepy.
00:11:50
That was a creepy creepy. Story and you just ignored it.
00:11:54
I don't know how you do that. Are you guys light sleepers?
00:11:59
Because I know I am and I wake. Up with like I feel.
00:12:01
Like, I'm always tense, I'm always like sound.
00:12:04
And I need to figure out what it is.
00:12:08
All right, here's she continues with another story another time
00:12:11
when I was 8 months pregnant with our 4th and he wanted to
00:12:14
spend a night in the city which was 1 1/2 hours away.
00:12:17
I rented a room for the night and enjoy.
00:12:19
The day in the city. We were all exhausted and went
00:12:22
to bed early. And I was.
00:12:24
Awoken by my boyfriend making the.
00:12:25
Sound that started off quiet and gradually got louder.
00:12:30
I turned to face him. When I started off quiet, his
00:12:40
mouth was open. Normal but.
00:12:41
Toward the end, it got bigger and wider, like whoa, I look
00:12:48
really if you're. Looking at the video.
00:12:50
I look really eerie. Like that at first.
00:12:56
At first thought, I first thought that he was trying.
00:12:58
To scare me. So I looked at his, at his eyes,
00:13:00
but I couldn't see. Because the room was dark.
00:13:02
The ACN heater was by the window and it.
00:13:05
Happened to turn on, which made the curtain move enough.
00:13:07
For the outside light to. Sunshine in and I was still
00:13:11
looking at him as he was sounding like that, and his eyes
00:13:14
were. Closed.
00:13:16
My first instinct was to punch him in the face.
00:13:18
Oh. How scared I was, how scared I
00:13:24
was. But I.
00:13:25
Didn't just nudge him as hard as.
00:13:27
Oh, but I didn't. I just nudged.
00:13:29
Him as hard as I. Could and I told them.
00:13:32
F off, you're scaring. Me and he woke up and he's.
00:13:36
Like what? Looking confused in dazed, I
00:13:40
said yeah. Right.
00:13:41
What are you doing? Do you know what?
00:13:43
You were just doing. And he?
00:13:45
Barely replies back and says and falls asleep.
00:13:50
You guys are funny, dude. You guys are really funny.
00:13:55
OK, I was so confused. And all I could think.
00:13:58
Was he had to be touched by some sort of?
00:14:02
Spirit or something from living in that house in the morning.
00:14:05
When I told him he couldn't believe it.
00:14:07
I kept reassuring him that it was real and that he just said
00:14:11
maybe I was possessed for a minute.
00:14:24
All right, maybe you were. Oh man, Oh God.
00:14:35
I have a couple more stories that my boyfriend had told me.
00:14:37
I think I will share those. Next time.
00:14:40
Thanks for reading, I hope I made sense.
00:14:44
I loved. I need to keep it together.
00:14:50
Oh God, OK. Thanks a lot for that.
00:14:54
Like it sounds. I mean, it's it's.
00:14:57
Look sounds like that. They make me, I mean in the
00:15:02
middle of the night hearing a sound.
00:15:03
It's. Specifically like a static
00:15:05
sound. You don't really hear static
00:15:06
that much anymore, except in the radio.
00:15:08
But you used to hear it on TV. Used to hear.
00:15:10
It like you know in in what do you call?
00:15:13
Those little walkie talkies. Those have a kind of a static
00:15:16
sound when you were, I'm talking about like toys when you were a
00:15:19
little kid where like you would play around, you would.
00:15:22
I used to hear that. Often because I used to.
00:15:24
You know, I'm I've never. I've never.
00:15:26
Been a super organized person. When it comes to like my toys
00:15:28
and stuff, and I used to just put everything in a box.
00:15:32
So sometimes it would push the button by itself and like it
00:15:34
would stay on and you hear the middle and I like like a voice
00:15:38
talking. But static itself is a really
00:15:41
eerie sound effect, I guess A really creepy.
00:15:45
Thing to hear because it's not that common anymore.
00:15:49
I think I really have to keep it together here because I.
00:15:51
Think the whole scene. I was just picturing somebody
00:15:54
like a poor guy going. With crutches down the hall.
00:15:59
All right, so from that story, we're going to go into a.
00:16:02
More of a serious. One right?
00:16:04
Can ghost be good? Can a ghost be a good entity?
00:16:07
Here's a story. That was sent in from this, from
00:16:12
a mother. I was talking about her son, her
00:16:14
son Raiden, and it was actually submitted to True.
00:16:18
Scary story a while back, it's called Guardian Angels.
00:16:21
Everywhere because you want to hear it directly from her.
00:16:24
This was an edited version into like a first person narrative
00:16:27
like by the. Way when people call them with
00:16:28
the story. They say it, you know, like, oh,
00:16:31
I was doing this. As that's first person.
00:16:34
So we kind of summarize that like edited a little bit and and
00:16:36
put it in format so you can understand like that.
00:16:39
So I'm going to be reading off of that.
00:16:41
Here we go. My son Raiden was born January
00:16:45
of 2018 and from his earliest. Days it was clear that he was
00:16:49
different. He was incredibly sensitive, but
00:16:53
it extended beyond the usual cries and comfort.
00:16:56
Like when he would. Be lying in his crib.
00:16:58
He would often. Fix his gaze on an empty corner
00:17:01
of his nursery and. Simply light up he would.
00:17:04
Smile, laugh, COO at something or someone that none of the none
00:17:10
of the other people could see. These were never moments of
00:17:14
fear. They were filled with pure.
00:17:16
Innocent Joy. My mother, a very religious
00:17:19
woman, had a simple and beautiful explanation.
00:17:23
Someone is watching over him. She would say.
00:17:26
And with certainty. It's his guardian.
00:17:28
Angel, her interpretation was comfort, framing these strange
00:17:33
and lovely. Occurrences.
00:17:34
As a sign of divine protection instead of something to be
00:17:38
scared of. It was a sweet thought that
00:17:40
brought peace to those. Early months of mother
00:17:42
motherhood. But as raining grew, these.
00:17:45
Gentle, undefined interactions began to.
00:17:47
Give way to a series. Of different and very specific
00:17:51
encounters, we soon soon learned that his unseen companions were
00:17:56
not just angels. But a?
00:17:58
Chorus of loving family members what passed on the first
00:18:06
deniable experience of evidence. That where something truly.
00:18:09
Extraordinary was happening arrived a few months after
00:18:12
Raiden was born. It was an encounter so specific,
00:18:15
so layered with personal meaning that left no room for doubt.
00:18:20
It was a moment that shifted our perception and our understanding
00:18:23
of a general sense of a spiritual presence.
00:18:26
This was the moment that shifted our understanding of a general
00:18:28
sense of a spirit being around us, actively trying to reach
00:18:33
out. In June 2018, my husband's
00:18:35
grandmother, Amparo, passed away.
00:18:39
She was from the. La Fatia area in Texas Valley.
00:18:43
And had been in. Hospice care after a long.
00:18:45
Illness. She always wanted to meet
00:18:47
Raiden, but he was only a newborn and our pediatrician had
00:18:51
advised US against traveling. Until he was older, tragically.
00:18:55
She never got the chance to meet him, so while my husband and I
00:18:58
traveled to the. Valley for her services my
00:19:01
parents. Volunteered to look after a 5
00:19:03
1/2 month old son being very religious.
00:19:06
They asked if they could take him to the church.
00:19:08
That Sunday and we said yeah. Later that day I called to check
00:19:12
in. And my mother told me that
00:19:14
Raiden had been wonderful. But then she added.
00:19:17
I need to tell you something funny that happened.
00:19:20
She explained that she had sat in a Pew far.
00:19:23
In the back of the church we had a crying room for babies just in
00:19:26
case he got fussy. During the service, she noticed
00:19:29
that Raiden was smiling at someone behind her.
00:19:32
Assuming another person from the church was entertaining him, she
00:19:35
just kind of ignored it. After the service had ended.
00:19:39
And she was gathering the diaper bag.
00:19:41
She felt a tap on her shoulder. An elderly.
00:19:45
Lady with glasses assisted by. Another silent woman stood there
00:19:50
smiling at Raiden. I just wanted to say that your
00:19:53
grandbaby Raiden was so well behaved, the woman said.
00:19:59
But. Before leaving, she insisted on
00:20:00
giving giving Raiden a small gift.
00:20:04
No, I insist, she said gently. I really want to give him
00:20:06
something. She didn't.
00:20:08
She then handed my mother a $2.00.
00:20:10
Bill. My mother thought it was a
00:20:14
little weird, as you don't see. $2.00 bills very.
00:20:16
Often anymore, but she accepted the kind gesture.
00:20:20
The woman touched Raiden's head, wished them a good day, and
00:20:23
walked out of the church. When I relayed this story to my
00:20:26
husband. He stopped me.
00:20:29
Wait, he said. His voice was pretty tense.
00:20:33
She gave him a. $2.00 Bill. When I confirmed, he explained
00:20:37
with its astonishment. That his.
00:20:40
Grandmother and Pato had a. Cherished.
00:20:42
Cherished. Tradition Every single
00:20:46
Christmas. Without fail, she gave.
00:20:50
Each of her grandchildren $2.00 and $20 bills.
00:20:54
So the wheels in his mind were turning.
00:20:57
He had to know more and as soon as we returned, he went straight
00:21:00
to my mother and after. She said the story again.
00:21:03
He pulled the. Obituary card from his.
00:21:05
Wallet and showed it to her. My mom put on her glasses and
00:21:08
looked at the picture and her face went pale.
00:21:13
That was her, she said. Her voice was filled with
00:21:18
disbelief. I don't know who the other lady
00:21:21
was, but that one. That was her.
00:21:27
A couple years later we experienced another visitation,
00:21:30
but this one was far more direct and personal.
00:21:32
It was kind. Of a different kind of spiritual
00:21:34
communication, this encounter took away any.
00:21:38
Doubt that we had. Any kind of skepticism and made
00:21:41
us believe in Raiden's unique connection.
00:21:45
It was January of 2020, my husband's grand husband's
00:21:49
grandfather, Oscar passed away. He was a lawyer for
00:21:52
Raymondville. Remarkably sweet and generous
00:21:54
man known for his empathy. He would often accept payment
00:21:58
and crops from farmers who couldn't afford the services.
00:22:01
Because of my work schedule, I had to.
00:22:03
Stay home with my 2 year old Raiden while my husband attended
00:22:06
the. Services The first night he was
00:22:09
gone, I was putting. Rain into bed and after reading
00:22:12
a. Book I walked to his.
00:22:14
Bookcase and noticed him smiling at something.
00:22:16
In the dark hallway, I assumed it was our dog.
00:22:19
But she never appeared. He let.
00:22:22
He let out a little. He let.
00:22:25
Out a little giggle and I was waiting.
00:22:27
For a dog. To come in.
00:22:29
The hallway was still dark by. The way I suddenly said.
00:22:34
OK, buddy, what are you? Looking at.
00:22:36
Light, light, the light, he replied.
00:22:42
And I'm thinking I'm losing my mind and I left the light on and
00:22:45
maybe. I left the light on.
00:22:47
In one of the rooms and he's seeing it in the doorway, but
00:22:50
there was nothing. I dreaded asking the next
00:22:53
question. But I had to.
00:22:56
Is it a good light? Yes, he said.
00:23:00
It's very good. Suddenly he started laughing,
00:23:04
hiding behind me and peeking out as if someone was playing
00:23:07
peekaboo with him. I had this unshakeable feeling
00:23:10
wash over me and I just knew. But it was his.
00:23:13
Grandfather after one last laugh.
00:23:16
Raiden gave me a hug. Laid down and fell immediately
00:23:20
into a deep peaceful. Sleep.
00:23:23
Something completely out of character that was frozen not
00:23:26
with. Fear, but with awe.
00:23:29
The next night during. The Rosary for Oscar.
00:23:33
Came the confirmation that left me breathless.
00:23:36
The rosary is a Catholic service to help a soul get to.
00:23:38
Heaven a time for final. Prayers, so it feels.
00:23:41
Deeply significant that this happened when it did.
00:23:44
Raiden was lying in bed staring at a spot on the ceiling, and I
00:23:47
was just dreading what might come next.
00:23:50
Being alone at night with my toddler, This was not what I
00:23:53
wanted to be encountering necessarily.
00:23:56
He asked me where his dad was and then.
00:23:59
Where's Daddy's grandpa I. Explained that he was with.
00:24:03
Daddy he. Looked me dead in the eye, his
00:24:06
gaze steady and serious, and he said something I will never
00:24:10
forget. No, he said calmly.
00:24:15
He died. My soul felt like he left my
00:24:19
body. At 2 years old, we had never.
00:24:21
Taught him the concept of death. For him to say that and to use
00:24:25
it correctly. It froze me.
00:24:28
Chills ran down my spine. How did you know?
00:24:31
I managed to ask and his answer was simple and final.
00:24:37
He told me, I believe. With all my heart.
00:24:40
That Oscar Soul visited. Rayden during that rosary, he
00:24:44
knew his great grandson couldn't be there, so he came to say his
00:24:47
own playful. Goodbye after Oscar's.
00:24:53
Direct visitations to Raiden. His presence was felt in other
00:24:56
ways by other family members. These experiences.
00:24:59
Were more subtle, suggesting that the spirit's energy can
00:25:02
linger for more time. Attached to the people in place
00:25:06
that they loved. And communicate through symbolic
00:25:08
signs rather than direct conversation.
00:25:12
In the weeks following the Oscar's burial, my husband's
00:25:15
Aunt Terry, who was staying at his grandmother's house,
00:25:18
reported hearing strange noises. But even most unsettling, the
00:25:22
door to the master bedroom would.
00:25:23
Slam shut. On its own and around the same
00:25:26
time, my husband began having his own experiences a few times
00:25:31
while up late in her living room.
00:25:32
He would see a shadow pass back and.
00:25:34
Forth out of the. Corner of his eye.
00:25:37
We couldn't help but connect these events to the fact that my
00:25:40
husband had just been given some of his grandfather's personal
00:25:43
effect, including his suits and an old college jacket from the
00:25:47
University of. Texas.
00:25:49
Maybe he was looking for that stuff.
00:25:51
Maybe it meant a lot to him. And never.
00:25:54
After about 3. Weeks just as suddenly as it
00:25:56
began. All the activity in both houses
00:25:59
stopped. Immediately, more than a year
00:26:03
later, in May of 2021, Oscar's wife, my husband's other
00:26:07
grandmother, also passed By then I was in my late 2nd trimester
00:26:12
with her second son and was having a terrible time sleeping.
00:26:16
One night I was sitting with Raiden, who had woken up and
00:26:19
couldn't. Get back to sleep, I.
00:26:21
Glanced at my phone and just as the clock turned from 11:59 to
00:26:25
12:00 AM, right then and there, that exact moment I heard three
00:26:30
distinct knocks on the window right next to his bed.
00:26:35
Immediately following the knocks, the most beautiful bird
00:26:38
song filled the silence of the night.
00:26:42
I thought. Instantly entered my head.
00:26:44
Clear as day. She's gone.
00:26:50
Less than a minute later, my husband walked into the room,
00:26:53
his face somber. I knew what he was going to say.
00:26:56
Before he said it. My mom.
00:26:58
Called, he said softly. My grandmother just passed away.
00:27:04
I asked him at what time. His answer confirmed everything.
00:27:09
12:00 on the dot. Well, the first encounters were
00:27:14
all with my. Husband side of the family.
00:27:16
The next. Experiences showed us that.
00:27:18
Raiden's connection was not limited to 1 bloodline.
00:27:21
His gift was a. Bridge to our entire.
00:27:23
Family In March of 2020, my uncle John tragically passed
00:27:27
away from COVID. It was in the early days of the
00:27:29
pandemic and we were unable. To have a proper funeral or a
00:27:32
real goodbye. It's still emotional to talk
00:27:35
about a few months. Later, Raiden was outside
00:27:39
playing. Baseball with the neighborhood
00:27:40
friend and I watched him run inside and merge with the
00:27:43
dinosaur toy and then stop, a confused look on his face.
00:27:48
And he came running to me. Mom, he asked.
00:27:51
Where's Uncle John? I was like, what do you mean,
00:27:55
honey, he was here, Raiden said. He was standing behind my
00:28:00
friend's dad. He was playing baseball with us.
00:28:03
He told me to go show him one of my dinosaurs.
00:28:07
I couldn't. Talk I couldn't talk for a good
00:28:10
minute My uncle, who I never got to properly mourn making a
00:28:14
special. Visit to play.
00:28:15
Ball, with his great nephew was too much to process.
00:28:20
Another time, Raiden and I were. Traveling by ourselves down to
00:28:22
Victoria to. Visit my parents.
00:28:24
I was pregnant with my second son at the time and soon after
00:28:27
we arrived. Raiden.
00:28:28
Walked over to my mother's large cabinet, knelt before it and
00:28:33
pointed to a picture of my grandmother.
00:28:35
His great, great grandmother. Who's that?
00:28:38
He asked after my mom explained. Raiden stated matter of factly.
00:28:43
Something that gives me goosebumps to this day.
00:28:47
She was following us the whole ride, he said.
00:28:50
She was by the car the entire. Time she was protecting us,
00:28:55
thinking back on these experiences.
00:28:57
I try to think of all the souls that had.
00:28:59
Visited us, my husband's grandparents, my uncle, my
00:29:02
grandmother. They were all warm, welcoming
00:29:05
and wonderful people. When I first started dating my
00:29:08
husband, his family treated me as one of their own from the
00:29:10
start, their loving nature in life.
00:29:13
Seems to have carried over to into their.
00:29:14
Existence beyond it now. These visits have fundamentally
00:29:18
changed our family's understanding of life and death.
00:29:21
For us. They're messages from our loved
00:29:23
ones, their way of saying yes, there's something better.
00:29:27
Once you leave this world. And we never.
00:29:30
Really. Leave you.
00:29:31
We're always here. Now I know some people might
00:29:34
hear this and think it's. Creepy.
00:29:36
Or try to doubt it and say oh. It's just a coincidence, but for
00:29:39
our family. These experiences are deeply
00:29:42
and. Profoundly comforting they have.
00:29:44
Erased the fear of the. Unknown and replaced it.
00:29:48
With a sense of peace. And continuity now and I'm not.
00:29:57
Sure why I picked the story I was actually looking for stories
00:30:01
with. Something to do with pregnancy
00:30:04
and, and you know, something like that and.
00:30:06
I was really. Drawn to the story, and I mean.
00:30:13
We do a series of. Things right like on on our end
00:30:16
to. Get the stories right.
00:30:17
To to share them and this one about guardian angels.
00:30:22
I don't know why. I just it's just really stood
00:30:24
out and I just wanted to just share this way and.
00:30:27
I mean, as you know, in the, in the, in the previous episodes
00:30:30
when I talked about my friend, his passing, there's been a lot
00:30:35
of confusion for me about death and what happens.
00:30:38
And, and part of me right now, like literally this moment with
00:30:43
his closing statement about continuity.
00:30:46
I feel like it's one of those things that I really needed to
00:30:48
hear and I hadn't gotten this far in the in the summary that.
00:30:51
That that I got. Or in this this version of the
00:30:54
story. So it's hard to think that it's
00:30:57
a coincidence, right? Why was I drawn to this?
00:30:59
Story Why did Why? We have hundreds of them and.
00:31:04
It's hard to. Think that it's a coincidence
00:31:07
just now? But it's it's really.
00:31:10
Really cool, really interesting to to see it this way, but what
00:31:14
do you think? About what happens after death
00:31:17
because I I received this. Question through our comments on
00:31:21
Spotify and one through. I believe was a YouTube comment.
00:31:25
What I think happens after we die, it's interesting for me to.
00:31:30
To think about because it's. How can we even find out, you
00:31:35
know? But there's definitely something
00:31:36
there. When you hear experiences like
00:31:38
this, it's hard to think that there's nothing and we just
00:31:43
disappear and that's it, right? Very, very interesting.
00:31:47
Very, very cool too. Let's go into some of the
00:31:49
comments that I hadn't gotten to.
00:31:51
This one's from Son Pharaoh says, hey, I just found your
00:31:53
podcast this week and I'm hooked.
00:31:55
It's the first comment here in this episode made me want to say
00:31:58
that a couple of my favorite movies are Wreck and Wreck 2.
00:32:01
They are both POV horror. Movies I.
00:32:03
Highly suggest both of those. Are they're very amazing and the
00:32:05
second one starts off right. Where there's a where the.
00:32:08
First one ends. Oh that's cool.
00:32:11
Hope you. Get the chance to watch them and
00:32:13
to hear and. Get to hear how you.
00:32:14
Like them also looking into. How the movie was made.
00:32:18
Sounds kind of similar to The Blair Witch.
00:32:20
Interesting, I'm going to check that out.
00:32:21
Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot for that son.
00:32:23
Pharaoh Heather L White says. I worked at a grocery.
00:32:26
Store 20 years ago one morning while opening the deli, I
00:32:29
stepped backward into onto a foot and I felt a hand on my
00:32:33
back Needless to say, there was no one behind me where the store
00:32:38
had been a hotel a long. Time before that had.
00:32:41
Burned down. And you guessed it, there were
00:32:43
people who died in the fire. It's no butt.
00:32:46
Grabbing Ghost like my home, but that's another story.
00:32:50
A butt grabbing ghost Heather. If you're watching this, please
00:32:54
send it in. What a.
00:32:56
Perv Leech, I think, but thanks by the.
00:32:59
Way, Heather. Lee Chavez says I heard.
00:33:03
I read some years ago that the San Antonio.
00:33:05
Railroad track story did. Actually happen in the US like
00:33:07
you said. I read that it happened in Ohio
00:33:09
in the 1970s and when the story hit the national news wire, San
00:33:13
Antonio was the only other city that.
00:33:15
Picked it up. I would imagine with no other
00:33:17
national. Coverage of the story and word
00:33:19
of mouth. Doing its thing.
00:33:20
This Ohio situation ended up getting relocated to San Antonio
00:33:25
actually. I remember.
00:33:26
Reading something about that too.
00:33:29
It's really cool, right? How stories spread like that.
00:33:31
I mean, it's just the nature of stories.
00:33:33
That's how they work. Vicky S says on the note of.
00:33:35
The children who are past. Becoming guardians for others.
00:33:38
I might be weird. But I firmly.
00:33:40
Believe in that I might be wrong.
00:33:42
But I've gotten very strong. Feelings on my nine month?
00:33:44
Old daughter's guardian Angel. Is a little boy named Tommy who
00:33:48
died. Before he would grow up.
00:33:49
And was allowed to be an Angel to make up for it.
00:33:52
And my daughter laughs and smiles at nothing.
00:33:55
I'll call out. Tommy, is that you?
00:33:57
Are you making the baby laugh? I don't know it just.
00:34:00
Feels right, a little heart. Emoji.
00:34:03
Very cool. Cool comment, Vicki.
00:34:05
Thank you for that, Stacy, Mitchell says.
00:34:08
It is witchcraft, the egg. Because it's in an inversion of
00:34:12
birth, the. Womb and life.
00:34:14
The devil inverts everything that God has.
00:34:16
Done. I'm sure an.
00:34:17
Exorcist can break that. Down better than me.
00:34:19
Mexicans must stop using Pagan ancestral things.
00:34:23
It's witchcraft and not part of Christianity.
00:34:25
Whoa. Pray that these curses are.
00:34:28
Broken if they were done over you.
00:34:29
My grandmother did some of these things.
00:34:31
But she was also a Catholic. I wish she was alive so I could.
00:34:34
Convince her to repent. Very, very strong comment here,
00:34:38
Stacy. It's true that these are kind of
00:34:42
rooted in these traditions, right?
00:34:44
And in the the absence of Christianity.
00:34:48
Because this is how the indigenous practices were.
00:34:51
Developing right without influence from the Europeans and
00:34:55
Catholic Christian influence so it makes.
00:34:59
Sense that all these practices. Were, you know, you could
00:35:01
consider them Pagan, I guess, even though they there's another
00:35:04
classification for it. But either way, just because
00:35:07
they're not your religion, that it's not your religion, doesn't
00:35:10
mean that it's not valid if you tell somebody.
00:35:13
That there is. A man in the clouds looking over
00:35:18
us. And it sounds silly, right?
00:35:21
To some, just depending on how you tell it.
00:35:24
But imagine, I invite you by the way, Stacey, to look into some
00:35:29
of the reasons behind this and not consider it immediately,
00:35:33
this evil thing. You know that.
00:35:37
Evil practice or or whatever. Or like a, a thing that's
00:35:40
related, related to the devil, because even the devil didn't
00:35:43
even play a role in these teachings in these practices
00:35:47
early on. Just, I mean, it's cool to talk
00:35:50
about this stuff, right? But I I seriously invite you to
00:35:53
like. Learn like to to.
00:35:54
Learn about that and then. Reassess.
00:35:57
Like just think. About it, if you still stick
00:35:59
with this may totally fine. We all have our own.
00:36:01
Opinions, Higgins, Q-tip, says. Just started listening and not
00:36:06
disappointed. I think you should take a
00:36:09
haunted trip to Mobile AL my ever growing.
00:36:12
City of Spanish. Fought.
00:36:14
Is that how you say it? Spanish fought.
00:36:16
My neighborhood and most of the city is an old civil war.
00:36:19
Battlefield properties still have bunkers, have lots of time.
00:36:22
Spent and they have lots of spent and unspent rounds and
00:36:27
cannonball cannonball frags. And four McDermott, just a few
00:36:32
lots. Down the street from.
00:36:33
Me, numerous spirits left behind.
00:36:35
I've captured my cat staring at an orb in my occupied home.
00:36:39
I need to hear these stories, Higgins.
00:36:44
War stories, to me are a whole obviously there's horrors of
00:36:50
war, right? There's they're terrible
00:36:52
tragedies. War should not be a thing that
00:36:55
we're doing. Now, but the leave behind all
00:36:58
these stories, all these paranormal.
00:37:00
