1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,220 You have been led to believe that everything you have experienced isn't real, that there's 2 00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:11,220 an explanation. 3 00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:14,220 But what if they're wrong? 4 00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:18,920 What if something reached out to you from beyond? 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,560 Let me tell your true stories. 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:30,920 Let me tell them until they all believe. 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,920 Hello everyone. 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,160 Welcome back to Paranormal and Supernatural True Stories. 9 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,480 This story is not the typical paranormal story. 10 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,440 I would definitely put this one more on the supernatural side of things, and you'll soon 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,080 see why. 12 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,760 Thank you Shayna for sending this story. 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,440 Let's not waste time. 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,200 Let's get into... 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,660 Angels Down on the Farm. 16 00:00:57,660 --> 00:00:59,240 My name is Shayna. 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,880 This story is not like the usual ones that I hear on podcasts about the paranormal. 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,080 Usually they are filled with scary ghosts or even possession, demons, and things going 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,800 bump in the night. 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,200 But what happened to me is different, and is the reason I even listen to podcasts. 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:24,040 I listen for others who have had a similar experience, and I have found a few. 22 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:30,480 My experience began when I had just graduated high school in the summer of 2001. 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,480 My extended family was not real close. 24 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,240 There were no family issues, at least that I knew of. 25 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,680 But we had family living within 20 miles of us that we had not seen for many years. 26 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,160 One of those relatives was my grandmother's sister. 27 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Us kids called her Aunt Lizzie. 28 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,200 I had not seen Aunt Lizzie since I was around 12 years old or so by the time I had graduated. 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:06,040 I had just lost my job, and my boyfriend, and I had no future plans, so I was in an 30 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,840 emotional funk. 31 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,220 At this time my mom came to me with news. 32 00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:18,600 She said that Aunt Lizzie had reached out through her grocery shopper. 33 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,640 Aunt Lizzie had invited us to come visit. 34 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,520 She wanted to see us on Sunday. 35 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,800 We would have a meal together. 36 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:32,440 To say the least, my mom and I were very curious what she could want to talk about. 37 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:38,480 Since my grandmother's death, we hadn't really kept in touch with her. 38 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,120 So Sunday rolled around, and off we went to Aunt Lizzie's time machine. 39 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,160 Let me explain. 40 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,400 Aunt Lizzie lived on a farm. 41 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880 Well, what was left of it? 42 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,320 She had parceled it out over the years since her husband's death, and she was left with 43 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,840 about 30 acres now. 44 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,280 But this 30 acres was deep in the country. 45 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,800 Her driveway was over a mile long and passed through some of the parceled land. 46 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,880 It was beautiful country. 47 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Aunt Lizzie never believed in anything modern. 48 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,040 She actually still used an outhouse. 49 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,360 She had a well for water. 50 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,680 She had an old cast iron cooking stove that used wood. 51 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,440 Along with that, she had a wood burner for house heat. 52 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Her house was lit with kerosene lamps and homemade candles. 53 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,660 She planted a garden every year and canned all her own food. 54 00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:42,200 Sometimes she harvested her own meat from her yard of chickens and the nearby woods. 55 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Aunt Lizzie deer hunted, rabbit hunted, and who knows what else. 56 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Apparently, she could take care of herself just fine. 57 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560 But age. 58 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,320 Age was catching up with her, and that was the reason she wanted to talk to us. 59 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Aunt Lizzie was a small-framed woman. 60 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,280 Not looking like the powerhouse that she was. 61 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,440 Anyone that encountered her and underestimated her soon found out that her strength was not 62 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280 only in her. 63 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,600 She had no issue with telling the truth. 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,160 Even if it broke some social etiquette rules, she didn't mean it to be rude. 65 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,560 She meant only to be honest. 66 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,200 Her hair was silver gray and down past her lower back. 67 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,660 She wore it up in a neatly braided bun. 68 00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:38,960 She dressed like a woman straight off of the prairie. 69 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,080 Of course, she also made all her own clothes. 70 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,080 I must say, though, I found her lifestyle intriguing, and I wanted to know more. 71 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,120 We arrived at dinner time. 72 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,520 Aunt Lizzie seemed thrilled to see us, especially me. 73 00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:02,160 My, how I had grown into a beautiful young lady, she exclaimed, and pinched my cheek. 74 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,840 She motioned for us to come inside. 75 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,360 Dinner was almost finished. 76 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,480 The farmhouse had seen better days. 77 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,960 She may have taken great care of herself, but that house needed repairs like yesterday. 78 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,560 When you entered the house, it smelled of wood burning, baking bread, and a hint of 79 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,560 kerosene. 80 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:32,320 I know, it sounds weird, but honestly, it's a cozy home smell, an inviting scent. 81 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,680 We sat at her handmade kitchen table, which was beautiful. 82 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,960 And when we rose to lend a hand, she scolded us and said, no invited guests were to help 83 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,160 with the kitchen work. 84 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:52,800 She finished cooking, served us our portions, bowed her head in silent prayer, and then 85 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,240 we were welcome to eat. 86 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,920 The food was amazing. 87 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,000 Aunt Lizzie wasted no time in getting to the point of our visit. 88 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,480 She wanted me to come live with her for the summer, to help with the garden and stay until 89 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,760 after harvest and canning were completed. 90 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:17,740 It was her 96th summer, and she was tired and feared the workload was just too much. 91 00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:23,420 She would pay, of course, and, I might add, handsomely. 92 00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:25,080 I had agreed to this offer. 93 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,800 I had nothing to lose, and a world of knowledge to gain. 94 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Living a prairie lifestyle and learning all Aunt Lizzie had to offer could only enrich 95 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,780 my life, and my mother agreed. 96 00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:43,440 I would move to Aunt Lizzie's in two weeks, at the end of June. 97 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,280 You're probably wondering when the paranormal will enter the story. 98 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:54,360 Well, I really thought it necessary to explain Aunt Lizzie, her form, her lifestyle. 99 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,040 This way you will know. 100 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:02,720 I had no working phone, no outside communication at all while I was living there, and of course, 101 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,280 there is no 911. 102 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:11,800 I had settled into our routine of breakfast at 5am, work the heavy work until 11, then 103 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:18,600 lunch, maybe a quick nap depending on the workload, then feed and water the animals, 104 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,760 and clean until dinnertime, strictly at 5pm. 105 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,260 Then bedtime was 8pm, at least for Aunt Lizzie. 106 00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:32,820 I stayed up and sometimes just sat around the front porch until after dark. 107 00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:35,280 She forbade me to go into the woods. 108 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,320 She said it wasn't safe, and she didn't trust me with a gun yet to protect myself. 109 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:47,600 But I had decided this day that since she was sleeping, a quick little walk wouldn't 110 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,240 hurt anything. 111 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,800 I walked up past the barn and down through the pasture, crawled under the fence and into 112 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,080 the woods. 113 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:03,640 It was instantly darker as the sun was setting, but I still had plenty of time before dark. 114 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,720 I forgot to mention that Aunt Lizzie didn't live entirely alone. 115 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,160 She had three huge livestock guard dogs. 116 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:19,400 She also had a white German Shepherd, which by the way, looked to be a wolf. 117 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,560 But she swears it's a shepherd. 118 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:28,360 I don't know though, this thing was huge and its paws looked too large for its body, 119 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,180 like a wolf. 120 00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:33,680 But anyway, they all took to me, thankfully. 121 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:40,080 They lived a free life, to wander at will, but their genetic code to protect kept them 122 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,320 near the animals and Aunt Lizzie at all times. 123 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,240 The white one was named Whitey. 124 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:53,300 Yeah, I know, Aunt Lizzie wasn't one to humanize dogs like my family did. 125 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:56,840 She saw them as working animals on her farm. 126 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,200 They were treated well, but not coddled. 127 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,240 Whitey followed me everywhere I went. 128 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,000 He was the only dog allowed in the house, and only at night. 129 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,760 He slept by my bed when he was in the house, as if it was his specific duty to take care 130 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,760 of me. 131 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,480 As I walked through the woods that night, keeping the field on my left, I loved how 132 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,400 peaceful it was. 133 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,640 The relaxing night sounds, already alive in the forest, it was entrancing. 134 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,540 I sat on the log to soak it all in. 135 00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:35,560 I could see Whitey tracking me through the field. 136 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:38,000 I decided to play hide and seek. 137 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,800 I quickly found an old hollow tree to tuck myself in, and waited. 138 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,120 I could hear him sniffing around and getting closer. 139 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,680 And then his big white face was in mine, licking my entire face as if he were so proud that 140 00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:56,500 he had won the game, and I was the prize. 141 00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:01,200 When I stood up, I began to head back towards the house, when Whitey started growling. 142 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,920 A low, guttural growl. 143 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:10,680 And he was facing deeper into the woods, where now it was much darker. 144 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:15,200 Well Aunt Lizzie had said there were plenty of coyotes around, and we'd best get back 145 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600 to the house. 146 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,280 I was halfway across the field, when I noticed Whitey was still standing at the edge of the 147 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,940 woods, and then I saw the other three dogs joining him. 148 00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:30,040 They joined forces and just stood there. 149 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,140 I hurried back to the farmhouse, and went to bed. 150 00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:37,600 At night, there were all sorts of noises in the house. 151 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,920 I figured it was just because the house was so old, but some of the noises sounded like 152 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,680 people talking. 153 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,080 I was sure it was my imagination. 154 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,600 I tried not to get freaked out. 155 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,360 Aunt Lizzie had lived here her whole life, and a lot of it alone. 156 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,940 I'm sure it was fine here. 157 00:10:57,940 --> 00:11:00,000 And I dreamed that night. 158 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,760 I dreamed of bonfires, and crowds of people talking. 159 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,480 The next day, Aunt Lizzie gave me a free day. 160 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,680 She did this often when we had caught up with work. 161 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:20,920 Today she would be training me to use a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun. 162 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,640 I must say, I was a better shot than I ever expected to be. 163 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,700 I was really getting to like this life. 164 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:36,920 I was lonely for people my own age, but I totally thrived in this environment. 165 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,920 Now that she trusted me to protect myself with a firearm, she allowed me to walk in 166 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,620 the woods. 167 00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:50,560 One day, Whitey and I were strolling through the woods near the stream, and I heard something. 168 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,560 A strange sound. 169 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,560 Again. 170 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,040 What was that? 171 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,440 Whitey didn't answer me, but he paused as well. 172 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960 We were waiting to hear it again. 173 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,240 I looked up into the trees as that seemed to be where it had come from. 174 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,400 Then, we heard it again. 175 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,960 To my left. 176 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 I looked and saw something moving. 177 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,080 Now, it's hard to describe this. 178 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:25,120 I rubbed my eyes, thinking I had something in my eyes causing things to look blurred. 179 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,760 But it wasn't my eyes. 180 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,000 Whitey was growling now. 181 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,040 He was seeing it too. 182 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:41,820 It was as if a very large, human-sized, or even larger, piece of saran wrap was moving 183 00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:43,560 in the tree. 184 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:44,560 Slowly. 185 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,160 It was like something was there watching us. 186 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,520 It had stopped moving now. 187 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,340 I wasn't even sure I was scared. 188 00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:56,720 Like it was just too strange to be afraid of. 189 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:03,160 I feel like my curiosity was overriding my fear. 190 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,560 As I watched, it began to move through the trees very fast. 191 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:15,840 Then suddenly, there were so many of them all around us moving up in the trees. 192 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,540 As if they had been there the whole time, but I had not seen them. 193 00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:24,040 They were all moving away from us. 194 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,040 And fast. 195 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,200 As if they were afraid of me. 196 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,920 Or maybe afraid of Whitey? 197 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,960 It sounded almost like a flock of birds. 198 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,600 What the hell were these things? 199 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:46,320 After they had all left, Whitey and I stood there, like the last people at a party, watching 200 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,800 and listening. 201 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,240 Let's get out of here, Whitey. 202 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,460 Come on, boy. 203 00:13:52,460 --> 00:13:55,560 I had decided not to tell Aunt Lizzie. 204 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,320 I didn't want her to be afraid. 205 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,320 I wasn't done investigating this, though. 206 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,520 That night, I dreamed of a bonfire again. 207 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,520 And again, many people talking. 208 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:16,040 But this time, the fire engulfed me in a blinding white light. 209 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,040 And from all around me, many voices were saying, 210 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,040 Do not be afraid. 211 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,000 We are light. 212 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,320 We are many. 213 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,120 Alpha Legion. 214 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Light. 215 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Nothing to fear. 216 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,840 Find us. 217 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,480 I woke in a sweat. 218 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,240 How bizarre this dream was. 219 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,800 I felt touched by something, and I was not afraid. 220 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:54,440 I was overcome with emotion, like as if I had just discovered the most valuable thing 221 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,120 in the world. 222 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,160 But what was it? 223 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,840 I did not sleep anymore that night. 224 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:07,520 Instead, I sat on the front porch, contemplating the dream and waiting for Aunt Lizzie to wake 225 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,320 up. 226 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,160 The next night, I dreamed again. 227 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,680 Only this time, I had dreamed a symbol in flames. 228 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,720 It was a triangle, but with small circles near the top and sides. 229 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,760 And then the voice. 230 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,360 Find us. 231 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:34,000 My aunt's grocery shopper had just dropped off her last month's newspapers and groceries. 232 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360 It was the only contact with the outside world. 233 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,840 It was like we were separate from the rest of the world. 234 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,040 I wished I had someone to talk to about my dreams. 235 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:50,360 I know they were only dreams, but I really felt that they were significant. 236 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,360 For some reason. 237 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,960 So I was cleaning the parlor room, as Aunt Lizzie called it, and she had asked me to 238 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,080 take down all the books and give the shelves a good cleaning. 239 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,640 I was taking down each book, wiping it, then carefully placing them in the same order on 240 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,320 the floor. 241 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,960 Aunt Lizzie came in and asked me if I was okay. 242 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,280 Yeah, I'm okay. 243 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,280 Why? 244 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,360 You seem heavy minded lately. 245 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Are you wanting to go home? 246 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,400 Oh, no, no, not at all. 247 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,480 I really like being here. 248 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,480 I do wish I could take a drive now and then though, but I love it out here. 249 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,000 Well, she said you seem troubled. 250 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,920 Aunt Lizzie, I have not been sleeping well. 251 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,920 I've been having dreams. 252 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,960 Strange dreams with weird messages. 253 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,960 Hang on, I said. 254 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,120 I ran upstairs to get my journal. 255 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,240 I read her the entry from the Night of the Dream and told her about the symbol in the 256 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,240 fire. 257 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,920 The look on her face. 258 00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:01,600 Well, it was a little bit shock, but I could tell she knew something. 259 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,600 What Aunt Lizzie? 260 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,600 What? 261 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,600 What's wrong? 262 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,720 Oh, my, she said. 263 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,000 Oh, my, well, I never meant for this all to come up. 264 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,840 Your mother will never let you come back here now. 265 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,520 She'll think I was trying to teach you the old ways. 266 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,000 The ways I was taught. 267 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,920 Wait, I said. 268 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,720 You know what the symbol is? 269 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,720 Who am I supposed to find? 270 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,480 No, no, no, I don't think I should get involved, she said. 271 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,480 I'm too old. 272 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,760 I'll be gone soon. 273 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,160 Let the old ways die with me. 274 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,480 Nobody else understands, nor do they want to. 275 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,840 Don't you know that's the reason I was shunned from the family? 276 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Shunned, I said. 277 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,160 I never heard anything like that. 278 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,800 Yes, Shana, shunned. 279 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,340 Please, please, Aunt Lizzie, I beg you. 280 00:17:54,340 --> 00:18:00,600 I won't have anyone else to talk to about this besides you. 281 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,560 Hesitantly, she said. 282 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,400 Okay, I will tell you what I can. 283 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:16,120 Our great-grandmother, Ayalia, born in the old country, practiced her own spirituality. 284 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:19,800 It was never black magic or anything like that. 285 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,320 Nothing evil. 286 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,400 It was more of a love of nature, worshipping nature. 287 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,480 But the Christians, they got a few things right. 288 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,440 And one of them was what they call angels. 289 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,240 Angels can appear to us in many forms. 290 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,360 They can be spirits of the forest, water spirits. 291 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:49,300 Some are good, made of light, while others are made of night and darkness and are evil. 292 00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:52,660 They constantly try to influence humans. 293 00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:57,760 It's like a war for our obedience. 294 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:04,000 When reading these newspapers, I see the tides have turned towards darkness. 295 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,360 Your dreams are likely the light reaching to you. 296 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:12,360 People used to find their own way, but with the times being so volatile, the light must 297 00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,640 need to reach out to us. 298 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,520 You should welcome the dreams. 299 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Don't be afraid. 300 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,680 But Aunt Lizzie, what if it's darkness trying to trick me? 301 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,340 Oh, so you know that it tries to trick us. 302 00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:25,980 Good for you. 303 00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:28,080 Because it can try. 304 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,580 But not here. 305 00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:31,280 Not in this place. 306 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,760 There's something special about this piece of land. 307 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,060 And this can't be the only place like this. 308 00:19:38,060 --> 00:19:39,060 There are more. 309 00:19:39,060 --> 00:19:46,400 When you go home, you can research and study ley lines. 310 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,780 Find out all that you can. 311 00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:53,720 Many things are attracted to ley lines, but darkness may not trespass. 312 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,720 Wait. 313 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,560 Aunt Lizzie, what do you mean by many things? 314 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,960 Why? 315 00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:02,200 What have you seen, Shana? 316 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,140 I told her about the Saran Wrap things that I had seen near the stream. 317 00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:11,840 She said she knew about those, and they never have come out of the woods. 318 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,460 She believes the land itself prevented them from crossing. 319 00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:18,160 She didn't know what they were. 320 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,200 She thinks maybe they are afraid of whoever can see them. 321 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,680 She also thinks that whoever can see them is blessed with light. 322 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,320 This was a lot to process. 323 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,980 Aunt Lizzie, do you really believe in all this? 324 00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:38,560 She nodded and said, I know it all to be true. 325 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,440 As did my great grandmother, Aylia. 326 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,680 As did all the womenfolk going back hundreds of years down to your mother. 327 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,080 She, she refused the light. 328 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,520 The word of the light and anything to do with it. 329 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,920 I'll not say anything more about her, except you will want to watch what you say to her 330 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,920 about all of this. 331 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:04,240 You may want to keep your beliefs to yourself. 332 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,720 That is, if you believe. 333 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,560 She looked at me then. 334 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:14,480 Our eyes met, and I knew right then that what she said was truth. 335 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,880 All of it. 336 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,160 I don't even know why I believed it. 337 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:26,080 But after all these years, I can tell you that it's absolutely all truth. 338 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,500 Aunt Lizzie, who am I supposed to find like it's said in the dream? 339 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:36,880 You must find others like yourself, touched by the light. 340 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,880 Those able to see as you have seen. 341 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,080 Where would I even look? 342 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,640 And how would I even know? 343 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,320 I asked. 344 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,240 She just said, you'll know. 345 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,400 So the rest of that summer was spent mostly in the same way I had already been spending 346 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,440 it except for harvest time. 347 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,640 We worked ourselves silly, gathering all the fruit and vegetables. 348 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,560 And when we weren't gathering, we were canning it. 349 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:12,680 And I can tell you, I have no clue how she had done all this on her own all these years. 350 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:19,960 I was exhausted at the end of the day and in bed even before Aunt Lizzie. 351 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,560 Aunt Lizzie and I had many spiritual talks. 352 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,200 We became very close. 353 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,540 My mother came to visit a few times. 354 00:22:27,540 --> 00:22:31,640 And then after all the work was done, it was time for me to leave. 355 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,160 Honestly, I didn't want to leave. 356 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,840 But my mother wanted me to come home and start thinking and planning for a future. 357 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,400 A future I had no idea what to do with. 358 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,800 I went to visit Aunt Lizzie a few times over the winter. 359 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:54,860 I even took on her grocery shop or job just so that I could see her more often. 360 00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:58,640 For whatever reason, my mother started not liking me being there. 361 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,360 Even though I had spent nearly four months there. 362 00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:07,120 I found my Aunt Lizzie passed away in early spring. 363 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:13,080 She had made it to 97 years old and I wished I had more time with her. 364 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:19,440 I found another farm for her dogs to live on and continue their work guarding livestock. 365 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,360 They were treated well and I visited them as often as I could. 366 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:30,480 Her attorney and who knew she even had an attorney had called me to make an appointment 367 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,640 to come to his office. 368 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:39,600 At his office, he informed me that I was the sole inheritor of her property and all belongings 369 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,440 therein. 370 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:48,720 Along with the property, there was a substantial amount of money that she left only to me. 371 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:58,320 I was flabbergasted as she lived so simply and she could have owned a fully staffed mansion. 372 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,920 Why had she not used this money to live on? 373 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,520 I used some of the money for college. 374 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,760 After college, I returned to the farm alone. 375 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,360 My mind flooded with memories of her. 376 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,120 Our long talks. 377 00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:21,360 What to do with this property, I pondered. 378 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,880 I had decided to keep it. 379 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,240 Not just because of nostalgia, but because of what Aunt Lizzie had said. 380 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,680 This land was special and I wanted to find out why. 381 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:41,640 I hired a construction crew to completely restore the old farmhouse and all other existing 382 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,880 structures as well. 383 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,960 While they worked, I started going through Aunt Lizzie's belongings. 384 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,960 I would keep most of it, but much of it must be kept in storage until I could go through 385 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,440 it. 386 00:24:54,440 --> 00:25:01,600 Taking one box to the moving truck, I tripped and fell, spilling everything from the box. 387 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:08,000 As I was repacking the box, I stopped and stared at a symbol. 388 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:15,040 A triangle symbol with circles and an address. 389 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:24,280 In Europe, Aunt Lizzie must have known the whole time who I was to find and exactly where 390 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,280 they were. 391 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,840 I wrote this story to give others hope. 392 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:36,600 To know there is something out there on our side as long as we are open to it. 393 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,600 I think we are all so distracted and spiritually blocked. 394 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,760 What with television, world events, not to mention the massive amount of electronics 395 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:55,320 in our homes, media, the conventional churches telling us what to believe, all these things 396 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:01,980 can take away our individual ability to make our own decisions, our own beliefs. 397 00:26:01,980 --> 00:26:05,160 I think there will be more to my story. 398 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,760 I'm going to Europe in 2023. 399 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:14,860 I'm not sure what I will find there, but I am very much looking forward to the adventure. 400 00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:20,080 In the meantime, might I suggest some quiet meditation? 401 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:26,760 I know the world is fast and busy, but good things are speaking to us if we slow down 402 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,280 enough to listen. 403 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,160 Imagine Aunt Lizzie's form. 404 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:38,160 No electronics, no interference, no influence. 405 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:47,120 Imagine a young girl with an open mind that was touched, perhaps by angels. 406 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:49,240 Thanks for reading my story. 407 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,240 To be continued. 408 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:58,520 Wow, I can't even imagine this experience. 409 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:04,800 I had never even dreamed of a story like this when I started this podcast. 410 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,800 This story really speaks to my heart. 411 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,960 I recently, oh, in the last few years started meditating. 412 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:20,640 I'm trying and it truly slows your mind enough to be able to think it's it's a different 413 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,640 thing and it feels fantastic. 414 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,400 I can definitely attest to this being true. 415 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,960 As for your trip to Europe. 416 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,600 Yes, please send us that story. 417 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,240 So curious. 418 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,040 I will be looking forward to hearing what you find out. 419 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,800 Your Aunt Lizzie lived a good long life and knew so much more about the world than anyone 420 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,000 could have imagined an isolated woman on a farm could know. 421 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,920 I mean, she knew about ley lines. 422 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,760 What a unique and sweet lady. 423 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,000 I bet she just was awesome. 424 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,040 I'm sorry you couldn't have spent more time with her and I would love to have met her. 425 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,640 I will be thinking on this story for a while. 426 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,960 And honestly, it kind of comforted me knowing there is light out there, not just the dark 427 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,400 paranormal. 428 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,280 There is a light side to it all as well. 429 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,320 Keep sending these stories to me. 430 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,600 I would love to explore more on this subject. 431 00:28:15,600 -->
