The Yellow House

Welcome to True Scary Story, where people share the real life horror stories that happen to them. Today's story, Holly talks about an unwonted entity in her family home the terrifying reason why it, along with other paranormal beings, might be surrounding the house. My name is Edwin and here is Holly. It's true scary story. We live out in the county. It's kind of country. We have cornfields, hayfields and cotton fields whenever that time coming around. It's a true story house. And when you walk in the back door you have stairs at least straight up. It's our rooms on the top and the restroom is right by the stairway if you walk straight My room was right there to the left. I was asleep. It was one two three in the morning. Somewhere around that time I had got up to go to the restroom. I was walking and I always looked down the stairs. Why I don't know, but I always looked down the stairs. I thought I saw a shadow, but I was half asleep, so I was like, maybe I'm not seeing things right. Something's going on my mind playing tricks on me. Finally squinted in my eyes and looked even closer. When I did that, I saw on our staircase a big black shadow. It looked like it was about six foot real broadened shoulders, kind of a buff that's how it looked. They were leaning against the stairs. Am I seeing that Maybe it's just my imagination. Then I saw them walk to the side, from the side of the stairs to the front where you come up. I saw it start walking up, and I was like, oh my god, this is not not my imagination. I ran in the restroom because I was right there. But when I finally came out of the restroom, I turned my head looked down the stairs again. I saw the shadow of walking up. I ran in my room. I closed the door. I called my husband, can you please come home from work. I'm so scared. I saw something. Something is not right. This is not how it's supposed to be. I'm freaking out. I just need you to come home, Please make sure everything's okay. When my husband came home and he said that he didn't see anything, everything was fine. So I told my mom about it. My mom actually prayed over the house. Her and my husband has felt the hair on the back of their neck stand up. They go I don't know what it is. We couldn't figure out why I would see something. My sister, her and her boyfriend at the time, were having problems. They had separated. She went to go spend the night at a friend's house. That morning, the friend woke up and told my sister that he had a dream he saw this big black shadow. He described the shadow to me, and it was the exact same way I saw the shadow here at my mom's house, coming up the stairs. How can I see the shadow and then you see that same shadow. My sister and her ex boyfriend at the time they worked everything out they were together. My sister said that she had woke up she saw a shadow on the wall. The way she described it was the same shadow that I saw, The same shadow that her friend had saw in his dream. The only person who saw it more than once was my sister, but it was before I had saw it. She had always thought that she was just seeing things. When she had told her boyfriend about it, he goes, oh, yeah, that's the shadow that I've seen before. That shadow has been following me for years. And I don't know why. My mom prayed over everybody. She prayed over my sister's apartment, but we never saw the shadow again. But we could never figure out why all three of us saw that shadow when it was supposed to be following the boyfriend. At the time, we didn't understand what's going on that we're all seen it. My mom was like, maybe someone put had he yell on him. That was our first instinct. Maybe someone puts something on you. He's like, why had it follow me for years? He's seen it for so long. He just thought it was just going to be part of him for the rest of his life. We were freaking out. Why would this shadow follow you and then come to the house and someone see it in their dreams. It was just so creepy. It's so hard see even explain the feelings you feel when you see something like that. Then to have another two other people see the same thing in two different places. I was scared. I want to say, for six months, I was scared to even look down the stairs because I was always worried that I was going to see a shadow, just that same shadow again. After that, I was like, I'm not gonna look down those stairs anymore. What if I see something. I don't want to go through that again. But after those months that went by, everything was okay, everything calmed down. No one saw the shadow again. It happened in the same house where we've seen stuff and heard things on our cameras that we have around the house. We have them in the front on both sides and on the back of the house. We have a patio on the back of our house and it's not covered, it's just a concrete patio. We have a real big bright light out there so we can see everything. We make sure if there's no animals and stuff coming up to the back of the house. My mom was like, oh, look at this video. You can see all these orbs flying around in the back of it. And I was like, Mom, you didn't see that. She was like, what are you talking about? See what I go look on the shadow and you can see there looks like somebody's walking. You see the shadow of their legs, but you don't see nobody there. It looks like when you're walking on your driveway and it's sunny, your shadow you see as your legs on the ground. That's exactly what we saw on the patio at night time. My dias and everybody, they're like, y'all's house is haunted. I don't think it's haunted, but there's stuff that's going on out here where we live. We catch a lot of weird things here. We're kind of like, if it's whatever, you've seen it, you know, we've heard it. Pretty used to weird things going on. I saw my mom. If if I see another shadow, then yeah, we're definitely out of here. Other than that, we're all used to it, seeing the orbs on the cameras and everything like that. No one's scared of my kids, they're not scared to be here. At a house that we lived at before I was four or five was ninety eight ninety nine, we had lived in another two story house. This one was real old. The house was built in the forties or fifties. It had a kitchen, a big dining room, a den, and then you had your living room, two bedrooms, and upstairs three small bedrooms. Up there. It was this old yellow house. That's we always caught it, the yellow house. At first, everything was fine. Then there was one night my mom had heard this women screeching or yelling. She had woke up my daddy, and my daddy was like, oh, it's just a bottom outside the wind's probably blowing on it. Just go to bed, it'll be okay. My mom went back to sleep. Some time had went by. My daddy was at work. He worked tonight, and it was me, my mom, and my sister. We were all laying in bed. I was asleep, and my mom's heard the loud screeching noise again and she turned to my sister and was like, did you hear that? She goes, yeah, I heard it. She heard it again, but this time it was louder and even uglier than before. She grabbed me and ran out of the house, got her keys, and they went to my grandparents house. They knocked on the door and my grandma was like me, oh, what's going on. She goes, we heard something mom in the house. I'm not going back home. She goes, well, you must have been or her. You don't have your shoes on, or you have your purse. She left it. She just grabbed the keys and we were trying to get out of there. My mom had told my THEA about it. My THEA was like, well, sister, you need to stand your ground. You need to pray, you need to fight it. Have a spiritual battle against this spirit. Let them know that this is your house and they're not welcome here. They need to leave you other family alone. My mom almost said okay. She was asleep, we were all laying down. My daddy wasn't there if he was at work. Again, she heard that woman yell again, doing that screeching noise. My mom got up. She said a prayer for herself. She prayed over me and my sister. She was like, all right, we're gonna do this. We're gonna fight this. She had spirit. I don't know who you are or what you want with me and my family, but you need to leave us alone. This is our house. You need to leave this house. You're not gonna bother us. We are not scared of you. We are not leaving. We were protected by the blood of Jesus. My mom kept doing that, she kept saying it. She heard the lady screeching, get lower and lower. We're finally stopped completely. Some time had went by again. My daddy had woke up. He told my mom, do you hear that? I hear a woman yelling? She turned around and till my dad, no, I don't hear anything. It's probably just a bottle outside that the wind's blowing. On glessly, but after my mom had prayed, we never heard that woman yell again. My mom got curious. She worked on a diner where a lot of older people would go in the morning. She started asking them if they knew anything about our house. They said, the house used to be where women would have babies at, like a ward, and it had become a funeral parlor where we would be sitting at watching TV in the den. That's where they would go in to view the bodies at. They were like, if you hear something in the house, it wouldn't be surprising to us due to the fact that it used to be a hospital for they would deliver babies and then a funeral home. No telling what it probably attached to that house or something that's not letting go for whatever reason. We were redoing the floor to figure out how old this house was. My dad had picked up a corner of the linoleum and it was a newspaper under the floor, like for base we could read. My dad actually had found an article about our house that we were living in in that newspaper. I don't remember what it had said, but he told me and my sister, this should tell you how old this house is and no telling what's happened in this house. To see that there's newspaper under the floor that they've used in place of s tarp stuff they put under for flooring, like for a laminate. Are cousins. We all grew up real close together. There were always been the night of our house. But a lot of them have even said as well they had heard things, footsteps creaking, And I always thought was, Oh, it's just the old house. My dad would say, it's just the old house, babe, don't worry about it. It's probably just the floors. And as I got older, I was like, well, this the floors. Why are the floors making noise? You could hear footsteps in that house as well, But not long after that we ended up moving out of the house. My kind of feel is that whatever my family has done in the past and things they've seen, I feel like sometimes we can see more of it because we have more but understanding, or we see things. I've always believed that if we do a lot of bad that we're gonna see things or something's gonna happen, because that's what we were always taught. I've had an aunt way before I was born she had been followed by the Latusas and everything I had told my mom. We've talked about it before ago. I don't think we were followed by anything. I really believe that it was just the house, I said, because every house that's an older house has a bad story that we don't know about, something that goes on in there that's happened that we have no idea. Some people don't even know what goes on, I said. So I'm sure things get attached to these houses, or sometimes they're wanting help, or sometimes they're just bad spirits and we're there and they think that we're just bothering them. That's what happened with my grandpa and two of his cousins, where he had said that because we were always totally like see an awl, you don't cuss at it, like you leave it alone. You just keep walking because you cuss at it or you say anything like they're gonna come and attack you. So anytime I see it al because I can't know, we're just gonna keep going. I believe that because my grandpa and our two cousins when they were younger, they were they were going to a bar and they were walking and they saw this big owl. My grandpa was like, man, that's a lachusa like Basila. They like, don't mess with it. His cousin started cussing at it in Spanish, and they were like, well, you can stay out here and mess up they We're gonna go inside. They went inside, and when they came back, his cousin was speed up. It looked like he had got into a fight and his shirt was tore up, and they asked, so what happened? Like, what was going on? We weren't even gone that long. He has said he had kept cussing at the lachus side it came falling towards him and picked him up from his shirt and was dropping him. After that, I was like, oh, yeah, they're definitely real. I see it ow. I'm never cussing at it. I'm just gonna keep walking act like I don't see it. Everything it would be okay.
