The Thing at the Top of the Stairs

Welcome to True Scary Story. Today, Sean shares with us his terrifying accounts that may have been following him due to his family history. However, some of the events, specifically at the end of this episode may have been attached to the place he was in. My name is Edwin, and here is Sean True Scary Story. In twenty seventeen is when I was living with my parents right before I joined the Navy. I was eighteen around the time. This was my first experience with sleep paralysis and the HAG. In my bedroom, it was pitch black. The only illuminating light that I had was from the window. With sleep proalysis, your eyes are open, but your body can't move. I was looking at the bottom of my bed. I could see this bright green light. It kind of looked like toxic waste, like in a movie. That's kind of the color was. I was looking at it really, really intensely, and I still couldn't move. I had like the mumbles, like trying to get out words like help because I couldn't move. This was my first time ever experiencing this, so this was so different. I could see that this girl or this woman started to form. She had her fingers up on top of her mouth, and I could see her knuckles but not her fingers. She was laughing. I could feel my body gain a little bit of life, and I just kept rocking, rocking. Then I finally jumped up because I was so mad. I was like losing in my house. When I got up to her, she dissipated. That was my first experience ever with the so called hag. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't know really what it was. My dad was always the kind of guy ghosts aren't real, but he had a very big understanding of what the supernatural was. I could always understand. We had cousins who had played with the Wigi board back in the eighties. They were asking you questions. They asked a question, when are we going to die? The Ouiji board gave them a date that the Wigi board gave them. They crashed into a back of a semi. Another semi crashed in the back of them and sandwiched the car. My dad, ever since that happened, he doesn't like to talk about the paranormal. He knows it's there, he doesn't want to ever talk about it. It was a very taboo subject growing up. Me and my sisters. We would talk about it sometimes, but not like that. My sister she traced back our lineage. There's some witchcraft through out there, and we've never really gotten into anything like that. In twenty twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, I met my husband. We had started dating. We both got stationed up in Washington. When we were moving up there, he was like, Hey, I'm going to get a house with our friends. Do you want to come move in? So we got this house. It was in the woods pretty much. It was really nice, had a really big backyard. The vibe of the house was always weird. It always felt like somebody was in there watching you when you heard the creeks. There was one night I remember I woke up. Our bed was against one wall and we had a walk in closet, and then the bathroom was right next to it. The bathroom had this white mist coming out of it. It was wrapping over for my husband. I looked at it and I thought it was so weird. There's no fog outside, there's no windows open, there's no shower on. We don't even have a humidifier in the room. I was like, I have to be dreaming but I could see it moving. It was moving towards me. I just said, I'm going to go to sleep. I don't want to wake him up, so he's going to just strug it off. He's half asleep. The next day I did tell him, I said, hey, last night there was this mist over you and I don't know what is going on. I'd never seen this before. I went into the little town that we had, to this magic shop. I need to get some stage, the white stage, so I can cleanse my house, and I need something for a protection crystal. They given me some type of protection crystal. The lady was like, oh, you're in the military. I said yes, and she said, well, because you're around all these bases that these bases bring a lot of negative inner, you're bringing that home with you. I'd gotten these crystals to like sleep with them under your pillow and you should not feel anything. I was pretty much good after that, didn't have any experiences. But then me and my husband we were still married, but he had gotten orders to San Francisco and my command moved. This was right when COVID happened. I was in this apartment for eight months until we moved. I can remember the second time I had my experience with the Hag, my husband was able to come down. They had lifted up the restrictions. We were in bed. One night I woke up. I had a bright white light. This time it was on the side of my face. I felt her pants and her feet crawling across the bed. It felt like like tons every time they would hit. I couldn't move. She was on top of my chest. She put all of her weight on. I could hear this loud, vacuum like sucking sound with it. It felt like my soul was being sucked out of my body. I literally felt like my life was flashing before my eyes. I don't even remember falling from sleep back after that. I just remember I can still see everything and feel the weight on my chest. The hair was all in my face. I couldn't even see her face, but I could see her that I could see teeth, I could see white mist for me flowing into her, and I was like, this is so weird. That was my second experience with her. We only lived there for a couple months because I always felt that apartment had to really bad vibe. The way my room was set up was I had this big vanity next to the bathroom. After that, I could not sleep near the mirror. There's this big superstition, don't sleep next to mirrors. It's a portal, you know. I had to move my bed. I really didn't have a way because I had the vanity, and then my closet doors were those closet doors that had mirrors on them. There wasn't much I could do, and I don't like to sleep with the doors open that I've always feel like someone's looking in, and especially in that apartment, I always felt like somebody was looking in on me. Around the time. I would take my body and I would make a triangle with a pillow over my head, so if I woke up, I wouldn't see something directly, if there was somebody in the room, or if some spirit was watching me. I had went on deployment. My husband had moved into a new house in the military housing. I'd got back from deployment in February twenty twenty two. Things were good. That's when I started to notice a month or so after the house had the kind of a weird vibe to it. It's right next to here, next to all these bases in the military basis, they bring a lot of negative energy. It's not anything intentional, it just happened. I always felt at the top of our stairs there was this dark miss but it's nothing I've ever seen, like project or actually see form. But that's the only way I can feel, like can starts. It's really darkness and it's sad and angry. Sean's story continue is right after this stay with us, I wasn't the only one. I had talked to my friend. She'd felt that too. I would always feel eyes on me in the house, but it wasn't like I don't want you here. It was like I need help in a way. But then there was also sometimes there's that angry presence, like I really don't want you here, but I can't tell you to leave. After so long, I was just like whatever, I kept doing the pillow thing. I didn't want to say anything. I didn't even like being in the house by myself. I started hanging out with my best friend, me and her. I'm talking, we were doing almost every day together. When we've had people over, drinks would be flowing and we'd be like, hey, no one's allowed to drive home. So she would stay over a lot there was one night we had went out and came back. She was there sleeping on the couch. It's a recliner set everything. There's no way she can fall off of this unless she actually threw herself off. She says that someone pulls her, full force pulls her. She's the only one downstairs. It's just her. She woke up. She looked around, thinking that someone's here. There's no one there, and she was like, I turned on the TV. I sat there until five o'clock in the morning, and I left immediately. She was so scared. Not too long after that, we had more people over. One night, We're all sitting on the couch. It's me and two of our other friends. Everybody had already went to bed. Him and the doorbell starts ringing. My dog's going crazy. The doorbells start ringing. I look outside. There's no one there. It's weird. My husband comes downstairs. He opens up the door. This is probably the worst thing he could have done. I think he lets something in when he opened that door and he walks out, looks around. There's no one there. So going back, goes asleep. Everything's fine. Not too long after that, stuff starts moving around our house too. We had this like electric fly swatter. You could get flies like crazy for some weird reason. It's probably just the heat. I remember there was one time I'm home alone by myself, sitting in the living room. It's a direct open shot that you can see from where our key rack is at where that's hanging to the living room. You can see it directly. That thing is swinging back and forth like someone had pushed it. I had not went in there at all that morning. I'm sitting there confused. No one else is home with me. I'm just watching it. I've recorded it and sent it to our group chat. I said, guys, I'm the only one home. I hadn't even been in the kitchen this morning. Look at this. Everybody's like, oh, there's gusts the house. Me had already had been getting this feeling the thing at the top of the steers. Finally I had myself was asking neighbors about like stuff that's happened in home. The way the neighborhood is set up, it's a big courtyard in the middle, four streets surrounding each other. On the other side of the courtyard there was a man. He had murdered his wife and he had left. I've heard two sets of the stories, but the one I read online it said that he had kept her in a deep freezer for two years. He had said that she went missing, there was an incident in the courtyard where she had ran outside and said that she was cutting herself or something. That's what he was saying these two years goes by. Everybody's what, like, where is she? They're asking him where did she go? Was like, I think she just ran off. The day he's supposed to move out and move across the country, her body's found. He threw her body in the canal. The police had found her. They knew who she was because she had been missing. They come to his house and everything, and they're like, hey, we found your wife. He already has a whole new fiance and everything. They're about to move. He goes, oh, that's crazy. Come to find out he was the one who did it. I expedited him back here when all that had happened. It's not just one property. All the properties are connected with each other, especially this courtyard. What keeps everybody connected to I feel like maybe it was her spirit still asking for help in a way, or just being angry that she can't leave. She's stuck there. Even till the day that we have moved out, and we moved out in November of twenty twenty three, I still felt really awkward and weird being there by myself. I've just felt the heaviness of sadness and anger of not wanting to be there and needing the help. I don't think anybody else felt that, but my friend, she was the only one that. When I spoke to her about this yesterday, she was like, no, I felt that too. At the top of your stairs, she said, I didn't like ever going upstairs unless you were up there because I felt like something was up there. It's crazy, i'n't going one that's not like that, But that was really that. Now we've moved to the other side, in this brand new built place, I don't really get the vibe that something is here or anything like that. But it doesn't take long for someone to show itself. So I've always been a believer ever since I've experienced more and more and more. May can you start to realize like there's more, there's more things out there. The case Sean mentioned is true and verifiable. The victim's name is Elizabeth Rix Sullivan, who had been missing in twenty fourteen and for two years, nobody knew of her whereabouts. When her body was found in the San Diego Bay, investigators discovered that she had been stored in a freezer for two years.
