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 --> 00:00:31,320
Let me tell them until they all believe.

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,240
Hi guys, welcome back to Paranormal and Supernatural True Stories.

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,000
Today's true story, sent in by Eric, is just venomous.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Whatever this entity is, I hope to never run into one, or rather, I hope one of them doesn't

10
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,840
decide to take an interest in me.

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,760
You'll see what I mean.

12
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:03,300
Let's get into Season 1, Episode 8, The Wicked Shadow.

13
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:11,240
My name is Eric, and this instance occurred in 2011 in an unnamed state penitentiary that

14
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,560
I was employed at as a guard.

15
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,160
We worked long hours, and we all developed our own rapport with inmates.

16
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,680
Generally speaking, if they treated us with respect, a level of respect was shown back.

17
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,920
But we were still guards, and had to remember these guys were not our friends, and many

18
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800
of them were dangerous.

19
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,400
One particular inmate seemed to dislike me.

20
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,480
Not all the guards, just me.

21
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,840
I never had issue with this guy.

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Let's call him Mike, but he would give me death stares and cock his head while he stared

23
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,800
me down, as if trying to figure me out.

24
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,600
I had other inmates actually warn me of his intentions, and so when he made his move on

25
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:06,640
me, we were basically prepared, and he was sent to solitary for a week.

26
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,000
This is not a place you want to find yourself.

27
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,800
All bets for mutual respect were off if you were in solitary, especially if your infraction

28
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,720
involved attacking a guard.

29
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,760
So Mike spent his week in solitary, and when he came back, he was worse than ever with

30
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,440
me.

31
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Whenever I was within hearing distance, he would cock his head, then say offensive things

32
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:43,320
to me, nasty sexual things about my girlfriend, and he got good at saying them when nobody

33
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,060
else could hear him.

34
00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:48,720
And how did he know I had a girlfriend?

35
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,680
I had decided to not even pay an ounce of attention to him.

36
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,520
He would eventually either burn out, or find his way back to solitary.

37
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,620
I had no doubt, and I wasn't wrong.

38
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:08,700
He moved on, and Mike continued his verbal assaults until one night I found him dead

39
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:10,720
in his cell.

40
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:19,620
He had constructed a way to hang himself, and he left a note addressed to me.

41
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:26,000
I will not include word for word, but the gist of this note was that he hoped that I

42
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,240
would find him, and he hoped that my nightmares were about him.

43
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,080
He promised we would meet again.

44
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Well, though disturbing, I absolutely would not have nightmares about his body.

45
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400
Personally, I didn't care that he was gone.

46
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:54,280
I know, that sounds awful, however, you cannot relate until you work in the bowels of a prison.

47
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,360
I wanted to include this experience from my job as I truly believe it has bearing on the

48
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,880
rest of this story.

49
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Now, we will switch gears and fast forward a few weeks into my personal life.

50
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,280
I was dating a single mom named Tara.

51
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,400
I could definitely see a future with her.

52
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,240
Her son Anthony, aged 9.

53
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,200
We got along great, and we spent so much of our time together.

54
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,780
I was basically living with her, but still had my own place, and we had not committed

55
00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:29,480
to officially living together yet.

56
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,120
But here we were.

57
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,240
Anthony had some emotional issues that we were dealing with.

58
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:43,280
He had been diagnosed with explosive anger disorder, and it could be trying at times,

59
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,800
but for the most part, he was a great kid.

60
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,560
He seemed to love any attention that I would pay to him.

61
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Anthony began having bad dreams at night.

62
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,560
He would scream and cry and say that someone was pinching him and wouldn't let him sleep.

63
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,920
We figured this may be just another way for him to get attention, but the bad dream seemed

64
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,980
real enough and we hoped that it was temporary.

65
00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:17,440
This went on for about two weeks when one night he screamed and Tara ran in his room,

66
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,000
and she came back and said,

67
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Come see this, hurry.

68
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,980
I ran to his room and he had his night shirt pulled up, and sure enough, there were what

69
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:32,880
appeared to be red pinch marks all over his abdomen.

70
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,560
There were a few bruises as well, and he said those were from the night before.

71
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,680
He said the boogeyman was getting meaner and would not leave him alone.

72
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,160
He begged me to find the boogeyman and kick his ass.

73
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,640
I did the whole room search thing, including the closet, and made sure he knew that all

74
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,920
was clear.

75
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,680
After he settled back down, Tara and I had a conversation.

76
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:08,740
It seemed that Anthony was now hurting himself for attention, and we were both very concerned.

77
00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:13,600
She would make an appointment with his doctor as soon as possible.

78
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,460
The next day the doctor appointment was set, but he could not be seen for another two weeks.

79
00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:24,280
They advised in the meantime that we spend a little extra time with him in the evenings

80
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:30,560
as a couple before bed, just to possibly appease him until he could be evaluated.

81
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,560
We agreed, and that night we had pizza and played a couple of board games.

82
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,080
We must have played them out because he asked when we could go to bed.

83
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Tara and I gave each other knowing glances.

84
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,160
Seems to have done the trick.

85
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,520
After tucking him in and doing the boogeyman check, he fell asleep while Tara read to him.

86
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,240
We felt good about his nightly routine and was relieved that he would finally get some

87
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,260
sleep.

88
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:06,440
That night, around 1am, he woke screaming again and ran into our room before we could

89
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,900
get to him.

90
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:12,800
He said the boogeyman was back, and this time he said he was going to kill us all.

91
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440
He was sobbing.

92
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:22,760
We were doing our best to comfort him as he sat on Tara's lap in bed staring at the hallway.

93
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Then Anthony said, He's coming.

94
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Sweetheart, he's not coming.

95
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,200
Everything is okay.

96
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,500
But, Mom, Anthony pleaded.

97
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:37,240
He grabbed me and I could tell he was going to hurt me.

98
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Where did he grab you?

99
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Tara asked.

100
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,040
He showed her his shoulder and sure enough, there was a reddish mark there.

101
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,780
It appeared to be a very large possibly handprint.

102
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:53,040
We both instantly had a look of concern.

103
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Who did this to you, Anthony?

104
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,280
I told you.

105
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,280
The boogeyman.

106
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Anthony, there is no boogeyman.

107
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Now you tell me right now who he's here, Mom.

108
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,320
Anthony said and pointed to the door.

109
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Just then, against a dim nightlight in the hall, we all saw a shadow.

110
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,280
But the shadow wasn't on the wall.

111
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:27,480
It was like it was a shadow figure unto itself walking into our room.

112
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,200
Actually it was more like gliding into our room.

113
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,680
We were all transfixed on the sight of it.

114
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:41,160
I snapped out of it and jumped from the bed to see what I could do, if anything.

115
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:48,800
The figure turned sharply towards me and I felt an impact on my upper and lower abdomen

116
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:54,840
that knocked the wind from me and caused me to fall all the way back onto the bed.

117
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,560
I was now unable to help.

118
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,480
Anthony was screaming and Tara was gripping him and staring at the figure coming around

119
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,320
to her side of the bed.

120
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:14,000
As it passed the dimly lit bathroom, we could see that this thing was very tall.

121
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
I'm guessing around seven feet.

122
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,600
It leaned towards Tara.

123
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,720
I told her to run to get herself and Anthony out of the house and I could see her trying

124
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,380
but she screamed that she couldn't move.

125
00:09:29,380 --> 00:09:34,720
It leaned into her as if it were smelling her.

126
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,840
Then it looked across the bed at me and it cocked its head.

127
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:47,120
I finally felt like I could move again and I pulled Tara and Anthony along with me off

128
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,360
of the bed.

129
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,960
We ran from the house and we stayed in a motel that night.

130
00:09:53,960 --> 00:10:00,380
The next day we went to the thrift store, bought some essentials, some clothes.

131
00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:05,760
There was no way we were going back there, at least not yet.

132
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Tara said that she knew what to do.

133
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,760
The next day she called her Aunt Gail who lived a few hours away.

134
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:20,200
Her Aunt Gail had a rather successful business hunting paranormal beings and apparently she

135
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,640
was quite good at it.

136
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,800
At least that's what we were told by Tara's mom.

137
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Tara explained everything that's been happening and I could tell her aunt had asked her if

138
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,020
there was anything familiar about him.

139
00:10:35,020 --> 00:10:41,240
When Tara said no, we don't know who it is or what it is, I interrupted.

140
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,440
I said, let me talk to her please.

141
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,280
Tara looked at me like I had betrayed her.

142
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,840
I didn't mean to.

143
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320
I just wasn't sure.

144
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,440
But I had a feeling and I needed to tell this woman who could potentially help us.

145
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,760
I told her the story of Mike at the prison, the nasty inmate who hated me and then committed

146
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,920
suicide and then about his final note and about the way he would clock his head at me

147
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,240
and how the being did the same.

148
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Aunt Gail had asked to stay clear of the house.

149
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,780
She said, don't go around there until I get there.

150
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,220
She could be there the following day.

151
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:32,180
When Aunt Gail arrived, we had a long sit down discussion.

152
00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:37,680
We explained in as much detail as we could about all the happenings.

153
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:43,160
Tara was still mad that I had not mentioned the suicide guy, but we smoothed it over and

154
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:49,480
she finally understood that I had not put it together until it was in our room and at

155
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,680
that point there was just no time to talk.

156
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:00,440
Aunt Gail said that since it was time to go to the house because it was daytime and we

157
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,880
put on our brave panties and we headed to the house with her.

158
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Aunt Gail had a small team with her.

159
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,880
I don't know about all this paranormal stuff and I won't even try to explain what the instruments

160
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:21,760
were that they had, but I will say it all seemed very professional and rather impressive.

161
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,320
She had us sit patiently on the couch while they did their initial investigation.

162
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,600
And though I had my doubts about all the goings on around me, I truly hoped they could figure

163
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,200
out what to do about this.

164
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Tara was already saying that she's ready to sell her house.

165
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,840
Stop, I said.

166
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Let's just see what everyone here has to say.

167
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,800
Aunt Gail looked worried.

168
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,560
She sat next to us and said that it was here.

169
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:52,560
Right now.

170
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:58,240
And that it was not the prisoner that had committed suicide.

171
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,740
This entity had never been human.

172
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:11,160
She believed that it infested that prisoner, likely contributing to him killing himself,

173
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,340
especially if he was already predisposed to her negative behavior.

174
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:22,800
She claimed that the Christians would call it a demon, though these things were much

175
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,840
older than religion.

176
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:33,560
And that it became obsessed with me, which caused the prisoner Mike to hate me.

177
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:41,720
The entity's obsession likely manifested itself as mental torture for Mike.

178
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,320
Why would a demon become fixated on me, I asked, still feeling like the story was a

179
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:53,480
bit incredulous, even though my ribs still hurt from where it had attacked me.

180
00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Aunt Gail said that it was fixated on me to get to Tara, that it could smell her on me

181
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,880
at prison, and it had encouraged Mike, likely had encouraged Mike, to kill himself, so that

182
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840
it could attach to me.

183
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:18,280
It is not attached yet, and likely, when it attacked you, it was trying to.

184
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,920
But how do you know all this?

185
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,640
I mean, demon?

186
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,020
Demon is a loose term for something like this.

187
00:14:26,020 --> 00:14:30,720
It has ill intention, but only to be with Tara.

188
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,700
I know this, because it revealed itself to me.

189
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:43,600
It wants to infest you so that it can, and excuse me here, but it wants Tara sexually.

190
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,880
It's a vile and disgusting creature that needs banished from here.

191
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,800
I can protect you, but I cannot send it where it needs to go.

192
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,160
I don't think.

193
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Once I do what I need to do, it will leave, and unfortunately, will find someone else.

194
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,320
I know that doesn't seem fair, but with this thing, it's just the way it has to be.

195
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,160
He's going to fight.

196
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:17,080
I can practically smell his desire for Tara, and it's nauseating.

197
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,720
I have always been sensitive to otherworldly beings, and I can tell you, this is a dangerous

198
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,000
one.

199
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,980
I literally just sat there, mentally digesting what I was being fed.

200
00:15:31,980 --> 00:15:36,800
It was like a bad movie, and I was the star.

201
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,440
Had I not seen this for myself, I would have told everyone in the house right now that

202
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,140
they were crazy.

203
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:46,080
But I had seen it.

204
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,440
I had felt it.

205
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,880
Seen the marks it left on Anthony, and still felt the pain from its assault on me.

206
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:02,440
So I was forced to take advice and listen to the madness.

207
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Aunt Gail said she knew what to do.

208
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,020
She said it may take a few days, but she was sure she could get rid of it.

209
00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:16,040
She said that before she began, she wanted Tara to go to the bedroom and take a stand

210
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,880
against it.

211
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,440
She wanted her to tell it to get out.

212
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,600
That it was not welcome.

213
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,760
That this is her house, and it would have to leave.

214
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,680
She had to tell it to get out on her own first.

215
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,480
Tara did her part alone.

216
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,400
I objected, but Aunt Gail reassured me that it was fine.

217
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,800
I don't know what all the rituals were that she was performing, and she did not explain

218
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,240
herself.

219
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:53,160
But we came to the house three days in a row, and repeated the same thing over and over.

220
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,440
There was no indication anything was even happening.

221
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,720
Until the third day.

222
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,240
Then all hell broke loose.

223
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,680
As Aunt Gail was splashing water, well I don't think it was regular water, nor do I think

224
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:17,040
it was holy water, as it was discolored and appeared to have what looked like spices in

225
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,040
it.

226
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:25,200
So, as she was splashing it in Anthony's room, some of the water hit the blue curtain, and

227
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:32,520
the curtain turned white, and then slowly faded back to blue.

228
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,740
And then a wind pushed past us down the hall.

229
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:44,040
We all went to our bedroom, and Tara had a dreamcatcher hanging from the ceiling.

230
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:50,000
It was swinging wildly, nearly hitting the ceiling with each swing.

231
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,980
There was no breeze, and no fan on, and then it stopped, instantly, not moving.

232
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:03,520
And now the dark shadowy figure stood before us.

233
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:12,400
It was very still, slowly clocking its head at us, as if it were trying to plan what to

234
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,440
do next.

235
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:20,280
As it went to move forward, Aunt Gail hit it with the spiced water, and it screamed

236
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,720
and sunk into the floor.

237
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,640
It's out here!

238
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,920
yelled one of Aunt Gail's team, who ran out to the living room.

239
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,080
Aunt Gail was chanting something every time she threw the water, and this being did not

240
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,080
like what she was saying.

241
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:46,040
And then she said something, I think, in Latin, which I absolutely will not repeat here.

242
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,520
And she kept saying the Latin word, and then chanting and repeating.

243
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,680
The room turned ice cold, and the house, the house shook.

244
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,320
The house actually shook.

245
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,320
There was a sound like a growl, but it was all around us.

246
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:17,000
And other noises, pots and pans in the kitchen, pounding in the attic, in a wild wind, cast

247
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
by us again.

248
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,200
And then, everything stopped.

249
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:29,920
Just then, a window broke in the spare room, and there was silence.

250
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,280
We all waited, hearts pounding.

251
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:41,240
Waiting for another assault or something else that seemed impossible to comprehend.

252
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,480
But nothing happened.

253
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,440
It's gone, said Aunt Gail.

254
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,640
I'm sure of it.

255
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,040
I think Tara and I had our doubts, but we had no choice but to trust her.

256
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,120
That's when I got sick.

257
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:01,280
I just started vomiting, out of nowhere, for no apparent reason.

258
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:07,200
Aunt Gail came to me and had me rinse my mouth with her water concoction, which strangely

259
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,040
enough tasted like some kind of strange vitamins or medicines.

260
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:19,840
And she said that this was sometimes a reaction, and that I shouldn't worry.

261
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,840
Tara and I did not move back in immediately.

262
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:30,880
We stayed at the hotel for one more night, then finally went back to her house to spend

263
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,140
the night.

264
00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:34,520
And Aunt Gail was right.

265
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,440
It was gone.

266
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,160
It never bothered us again.

267
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:44,820
I do feel bad that we set it loose into the world, but Aunt Gail said that it may have

268
00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:52,320
gone to where it came from because she sensed a very big weakness when it left.

269
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:58,320
She didn't think it would attempt another attack on a human for a long time.

270
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,640
So that's my story.

271
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,880
Yeah, I know, it's crazy.

272
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:11,280
Even today, I look back on it as if it was a story that I heard rather than lived through.

273
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:18,320
I'm not a man that's afraid of much, but I can tell you that I was plenty scared, and

274
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,680
scared in a way that I hope to never be again.

275
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,680
Thanks for listening.

276
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,720
Oh man, I mean, this was so scary.

277
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,780
I will be seeing that thing in my dreams for sure.

278
00:21:34,780 --> 00:21:39,520
It sounds like Aunt Gail knows her business with the paranormal.

279
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,680
Love to meet you, Aunt Gail.

280
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,720
Thank goodness you guys had her.

281
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,000
Otherwise, I know I would have sold the house.

282
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:55,960
I think it's very disturbing that this being could smell Terrell and you, like some animal,

283
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,440
and then followed you home?

284
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Super creepy.

285
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:07,640
I do wonder, when it tried to attach to you, why did it fail?

286
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:13,000
I wonder if that has anything to do with the character of the person that it targets.

287
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,200
And it seems like it gave up after only two tries, right?

288
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Once in the prison, and then once at Terra's home.

289
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,960
It's interesting.

290
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,400
It's very interesting.

291
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,960
Oh, and what about Mike, the prisoner?

292
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:37,760
Was this thing the cause of his incarceration, or was he already on a path of self-destruction?

293
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,400
Too many questions, never enough answers.

294
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:48,280
It is disturbing that there are things out there that can infest us, as Aunt Gail put

295
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,880
it, and we may not even know it's there.

296
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:59,920
And I find it fascinating that an infestation can manifest as mental illness.

297
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,480
That's not to say every mental illness is a demon.

298
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,000
I'm betting it's a very small percent.

299
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,600
But I'm willing to bet also that it is a percent.

300
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:19,200
Well if any of you have any thoughts on this story, please feel free to email me.

301

302
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,880
