Alice

Since childhood, Laney had been able to see a strange visitor. The playmate that she used to have and others would also see, was not from this world. My name is Edvan and he hears Lane's true scary story. The house was my grandpa's house. He bought the house, I think in nineteen ninety. It was a main house and my mother in law suite. In the main house. We had four bedrooms, a master bedroom and three other rooms were all connected by this really long hallway. Our house really long. Every room was just a straightaway, the kitchen, the dining room, and then you keep walking there's the living room and there's a super long hallway. We lived there for a couple of years when I was really young, and my parents bought their own house, and my mom and dad divorced in twenty ten, so we ended up moving back in with my grandpa. But when I was a kid, it wasn't too bad, I think, just because I was small. I remember at one point when I was probably like two, my grandma had this china cabinet and she had all of these pictures family members I had passed away, and really old photos. My mom saw me in the dining room looking at all these pictures and my mom was like, what are you doing, lady? And I was like, you know, pointing at them. I was able to point out three people and say their names, pefically what my mom's aunt, and her name was Marnie. My mom was like, how do you know that? And I was like, she told me Marnie had died I think four years before I was born. That kind of weirded my mom out because she's like, who told you? And of course, being little, I was pointing at somebody and my mom was like, no one, no one's there. We moved out of the house. I never really heard anything else from my grandpa when I moved you back in twenty ten. That's when it got really really bad. My room and my brother's room were across the hall from each other, and then my mom's bedroom wasn't the very end of the hall. Her door based all the other rooms. She would see a figure walking back and forth between me and my brother's room. She would hear me talking in my sleep. It would be like a conversation, and my mom woke me up. She's like, many who are you talking to? And like, I haven't talking to anybody. I was just conversating with somebody. Apparently we had been cleaning the house. Flowers a vacuum right next to my bedroom door, and my mom saw a little girl walk in my bedroom. I would be sitting in my room playing with toys, you know, like Polly Pockets and that kind of stuff. My mom would hear me talking with somebody, and she looked into my room and the toys were literally moving in front of me. I was not touching them. I remember sitting there playing with somebody. Why I just stop it as normal. My mom and me talked about it, and I guess this little girl told me her name was Alice. She became a pretty common thing in the house. She would play with toys with me in my room. My mom would see her up and down the hall. Things started getting really creepy. There would be nights that I would be laying in my bed. I remember one night in particular, I was laying in my bed and I had this Hello Kiddy night light. It was always on. It was plugging your wall. It never burned out, it never needed the batteries changed anything like that. And it cut off the same time that it turned off. I could hear what sounded like a scratching sound on my wall. I went and I got my mom and my lights started working working in a little pan. I'm crying, hear something. My mom was like, it's probably just the wind. Don't worry about it. My mom was like, to go back to bed. I went back to my room. The light turned back on. This is super weird. Nothing never turned off, especially at night. An hour passed and it started again. I started feeling this really bad burning sensation on my back. I went into my mom's room and I was crying, and it being a parent, my mom was like, you know, let just sleep in bed with me tonight. The next morning, from where I was sleeping, I was facing the window. My mom looked at my back and I had three really bad dashes. We didn't have cat, we didn't have a pet that could have done that. That really scared my mom and she was like, you know, lan Nes, you fall on something. Did you fall out of bed? She was just didn't really want to accept the fact that there might be something there. A couple of weeks later, there was an incident where the lights, all of the lights in the house would just shut off. It would be out of nowhere. My grandpa. He's like, oh, it's probably the power, you know, there's something wrong. But it would just be so it would be random. It would just everything would just shut off. Pictures would fall off the walls. The bathroom was the very first door going on the hallway. One night, I was in there taking a shower. I heard this really really strong growl on the opposite side of the shower curtain. It scared me so badly. I screamed for my mom. I was like, something's in here. I don't know what's going to I could not bring myself to look on the other side of that shower curtain. The lightning actroom just went off. It was completely black and there. I couldn't see anything. I could hear my mom trying to get into the bathroom. She couldn't get in. Something was either holding the door closed. I don't know what was going wrong. She couldn't get into that room. It felt like I was just in there for hours and my mom probably got the door open and she's like, what's wrong, you know, And I was like I couldn't, you know, I couldn't get out. And I told her about the growley. She was like, Okay, well, we're we're gonna look into it and you know, see what's going on. I didn't like to be home alone at that point. My childhood friend, she would come over a lot during the summer and stay with me. She was hanging out with me at the house. Min had told her about stuff that had happened, and she believed me. We were walking out of my room. I had a cross necklace that someone from school had given me because I was telling her about what was going on, and she was like, I think that you should have this. It seems like you're really scared, so I had it on. I was walking behind my friend and I remember feeling my neck worth wulfed off of my neck. Before I knew it, something had grabbed my hair and started pulling me down that hallway. I started screaming. My friend was grabbing my leg and was trying to pull me because I was on my back. That's how throng whatever had pulled me. It was pulling me down the hallway. My friend was screaming. I was screaming. At some point, either my hair had physically ripped out of my head or it had given up. I don't know what happened, but I got loose because I was past my bedroom. There was the bathroom, the laundry room, and then mine and my brother had told me from the beginning of the hallway that enters into the living room all the way back to almost my bedroom door. Me and my friend ran out of the house. I called my mom and I was crying. She came home and she was like, we're gonna call your dad's friend knows someone that does paranormal investigations. We're gonna get them more. Call the paranormal investigators arrived to the house. The rest of Laney's story continues right after this Stay with us.

It's called twenty four to seven Lifeguard Protection, and it's made possible only by Simply Safe's new smart alarm, wireless indoor camera, now with a fast protect monitoring plan. If an intruder breaks into your home, simply Safe monitoring agents can actually see, speak to and deter them through the camera, warning them that they're being recorded and that police are on their way. It's a game changer. In home security. A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from my parents who are taking care of Jack's, my dog, say that he was in hiding mode, you know when something's wrong. They zoned did in on the problem and it seemed like he had been kicked in the abdomen and we had no idea who had done it. We suspect that someone went in through the gate and that's when Jacks came out and that happened, and that's when we search for a home security system. But speaking of pets, Simply Safe can tell the difference between intruders and pets thanks to advanced motion detection and vision AI. The new camera is the only indoor security camera that has built in siren to scare off intruders and to trigger the alarm.

He came out and brought his two guys that worked with him, and then they brought all their equipment eat stuff out. As he was walking through the house, he walked into my room and what we think was the little girl that I played with when I was smaller literally just poke her head out into the camera, just right there, clear as day. They were like, when are you seeing this? So you're seeing this? I looked and I was like, that's how to be Alice. So that's what I knew her as As they continued down the hallway, the guy recording things, he was like, I'm not feeling too good. You're starting to feel kind of sick. My mom had a master bedroom closet that was attached to the room. When he walked in there, it was weird because I was looking at from the camera's point, there was something dark in that closet. Whatever he saw, he ran out of the house. He was terrified. He was like, y'all need to call somebody else. I'm sorry that moment they left like they were like, we wish we could be more help. They were terrified of what could have been going on. We didn't know what to do. Three days after that had happened, we all went out to dinner for I think it was my brother's birthday. We had a really long driveway. There's the driveway and then there was the house, and then there was wood behind. On the way back home, we had left the lights on in the house because we knew we were going to be coming home to a dark house. As we're coming down on this driveway, every single light shut off, every single one, and the whole property was pitch black. You couldn't see anything. Maybe a minute later they flipped back on and my bedroom was facing the street so you could see it my window. There was a black figure in my window. It was probably over six feet tall. My mom was like, we're done, Like this cannot keep on. We stayed in a hotel that night, we were that terrified to go home. After that, my mom actually met someone and I ended up getting remarried. We moved out of the house, and I never really stopped thinking about the house. And I was talking to my mom and I was like, you know, I wonder what that could have been because it got foreclosed, So I'm like, I wonder what a fit something happened where no one else wanted to live there. I started looking into the house. That property was a plantation and the property owner was apparently not a very nice guy, but he had a daughter that had died really young, at eight years old, and her name was Alice. The more creepier part about all of it, apparently they're all buried on the property their personal family cemetery in the woods behind the house that I didn't even know about. So we don't know if that was him or a fit with somebody else, but from what I know of to this day, they're still buried back there. That still really creeps me out. So now there were just dead bodies in our backyard. We had no idea looking more into detail. When plantation workers passed away, they were also buried on the property, but buried away from the family. They were buried on the side of the house. They were just buried there. I don't know what became of the house, but that burning sensation immediately, it just made me think that it was something demonic because it would happen more than once. I just remember that being a really prominent time, but I would my mom would find scratches on me constantly, so we're just kind of curious, you know, to this day, like what it was.
