1<br>00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,220<br>You have been led to believe that everything you have experienced isn't real, that there's<br><br>2<br>00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:11,220<br>an explanation.<br><br>3<br>00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:14,220<br>But what if they're wrong?<br><br>4<br>00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:18,920<br>What if something reached out to you from beyond?<br><br>5<br>00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,560<br>Let me tell your true stories.<br><br>6<br>00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:30,720<br>Let me tell them until they all believe.<br><br>7<br>00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:38,280<br>Welcome back to the Shadow Files bonus episode for Patreons Only, Season 1 Episode 6.<br><br>8<br>00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,920<br>I'm so glad you're here today.<br><br>9<br>00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,280<br>I have two fantastic stories for you.<br><br>10<br>00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,720<br>The first one is sent in by Amy and I have titled it Hungry Eyes.<br><br>11<br>00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:57,320<br>Hi my name is Amy and this happened to me and my co-workers back in the late 90s.<br><br>12<br>00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,200<br>I am retired now but back then I was a nurse working in the ICU department at a nearby<br><br>13<br>00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,100<br>hospital.<br><br>14<br>00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:07,260<br>I worked the night shift.<br><br>15<br>00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:14,280<br>This shift included myself, another nurse named Jill, and an EMT named Mike.<br><br>16<br>00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,480<br>He was stationed nearby us but not at the nurse's station.<br><br>17<br>00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,480<br>This hospital had a unique design.<br><br>18<br>00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,160<br>The main portion of the hospital was round.<br><br>19<br>00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:32,120<br>The nurse's station was also round and from our desk we could see every patient as it<br><br>20<br>00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,920<br>was windowed the entire way around us.<br><br>21<br>00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,160<br>We had patients nearly all the way around and directly in front of us there was a separate<br><br>22<br>00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,360<br>area reserved for intake patients for the surgical ICU.<br><br>23<br>00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,800<br>It was separate from the patients rooms but still within our view so that we could attend<br><br>24<br>00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,760<br>to anyone awaiting the intake process.<br><br>25<br>00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,040<br>Everything on our shift was perfectly normal that night.<br><br>26<br>00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280<br>All the usual duties and routines.<br><br>27<br>00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,520<br>I had just returned from my first break.<br><br>28<br>00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,680<br>It was roughly 2am and now it was time for Jill to go and have her break.<br><br>29<br>00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,640<br>When we took our breaks we were to tell the other nurse anything of importance such as<br><br>30<br>00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:27,000<br>intake or anything that needed tending immediately such as dispensing medication.<br><br>31<br>00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,280<br>Otherwise we could just check our duty roster and proceed from there.<br><br>32<br>00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,220<br>Jill had not mentioned that there was anything immediate that I needed to do.<br><br>33<br>00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:42,000<br>So I pulled the duty roster and checked it for the next hour.<br><br>34<br>00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840<br>All very routine.<br><br>35<br>00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960<br>A movement caught my eye.<br><br>36<br>00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,960<br>Directly in front of me.<br><br>37<br>00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,440<br>In the empty surgical ICU room the lights were off in there at the moment but there<br><br>38<br>00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,240<br>was ambient light from outside and from our station.<br><br>39<br>00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,600<br>Nobody was supposed to be in there and Jill had neglected to tell me that a patient was<br><br>40<br>00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,640<br>waiting in there and in the dark.<br><br>41<br>00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,140<br>What the hell was she thinking?<br><br>42<br>00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:12,800<br>This poor guy.<br><br>43<br>00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,480<br>He was motioning with his right arm for me to come in there.<br><br>44<br>00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,960<br>I held up my index finger to let him know I was on my way.<br><br>45<br>00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720<br>I felt so bad.<br><br>46<br>00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,880<br>I glanced up at him again and he did not look well.<br><br>47<br>00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,800<br>He was emaciated and in his advanced years.<br><br>48<br>00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,040<br>He looked so frail I was worried that he might be in pain.<br><br>49<br>00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,780<br>I would have to hurry to go and grab his chart.<br><br>50<br>00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:45,360<br>I quickly grabbed the paperwork that I needed from the nurses station and I half ran to<br><br>51<br>00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,960<br>the double door to enter the room that he was in.<br><br>52<br>00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,040<br>I went through the first set of doors and I stopped.<br><br>53<br>00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,240<br>But not because I wanted to.<br><br>54<br>00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,800<br>I was trying to move forward but I physically could not.<br><br>55<br>00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,080<br>What the hell.<br><br>56<br>00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:10,040<br>It was as if something was holding me in place, only allowing for movement backwards.<br><br>57<br>00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,280<br>I absolutely could not move forward.<br><br>58<br>00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:22,080<br>When I looked up at the old man, he was watching me and then it began to get cold.<br><br>59<br>00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,000<br>And I don't mean a draft or chilly.<br><br>60<br>00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,280<br>I mean the kind of cold that hurts your face.<br><br>61<br>00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:36,840<br>The kind of cold that when you inhale through your nostrils, the insides of your nose freezes.<br><br>62<br>00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,040<br>That's how cold it got and I'm saying within seconds.<br><br>63<br>00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,400<br>The old man was still motioning for me to come to him.<br><br>64<br>00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,960<br>His face expressionless, emotionless.<br><br>65<br>00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:59,600<br>Eyes unblinking and focused only on me.<br><br>66<br>00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:06,880<br>Deeply focused as if he could will me to him just by staring.<br><br>67<br>00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200<br>Something was screaming in my head.<br><br>68<br>00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,880<br>Get out of there.<br><br>69<br>00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,400<br>Don't go to him.<br><br>70<br>00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,440<br>It was like the primal reaction a human gets when we are in danger.<br><br>71<br>00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,000<br>My adrenaline was gearing up for the flight or fight.<br><br>72<br>00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640<br>My skin goosebumps.<br><br>73<br>00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,920<br>The hair on my neck was stiff.<br><br>74<br>00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,360<br>I just knew I needed to get away from that old man.<br><br>75<br>00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:46,060<br>Instead of appearing to me as the frail old man needing assistance, he was now emanating<br><br>76<br>00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:50,000<br>a sickening and ominous feeling in me.<br><br>77<br>00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240<br>I had never felt this before.<br><br>78<br>00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:01,640<br>He was looking at me as if I were prey and his face clearly not looking helpless anymore.<br><br>79<br>00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,000<br>In fact, he looked very capable.<br><br>80<br>00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,580<br>I stopped trying to pass through whatever barrier was holding me back.<br><br>81<br>00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:14,240<br>He continued the motion for me to come to him.<br><br>82<br>00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,920<br>I backed away and went back to the nurses station.<br><br>83<br>00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,200<br>My eyes on him, his eyes on me.<br><br>84<br>00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400<br>Then Jill returned from her break.<br><br>85<br>00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,400<br>Her presence kind of snapping me back into reality like maybe I did not just experience<br><br>86<br>00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,580<br>what I thought I had.<br><br>87<br>00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:38,520<br>She looked at my face and said, what's wrong?<br><br>88<br>00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:45,360<br>I blankly said, can you tend to the patient waiting in the surgical ICU room?<br><br>89<br>00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,000<br>It wasn't that I wanted whatever it was in there to harm her.<br><br>90<br>00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,280<br>I fully intended to stop her if she could get through the barrier I experienced.<br><br>91<br>00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:00,480<br>My request was actually more of a question like, can you?<br><br>92<br>00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,200<br>Can you get through?<br><br>93<br>00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,780<br>Although she didn't know that.<br><br>94<br>00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:11,680<br>She headed into the double doorway and stopped as I had.<br><br>95<br>00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,720<br>Then she just stood there looking at him.<br><br>96<br>00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:22,920<br>He was looking at her almost desperately, but not desperately needing medical assistance.<br><br>97<br>00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:31,520<br>More like desperately wanting her to come in there, maybe just close enough to, to what?<br><br>98<br>00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,920<br>She returned to the nurses station.<br><br>99<br>00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,240<br>It's freezing in there and I couldn't get in there.<br><br>100<br>00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,240<br>What's happening here?<br><br>101<br>00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,240<br>I know.<br><br>102<br>00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,240<br>I said, it's cold.<br><br>103<br>00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,600<br>It's cold and we can't get in there.<br><br>104<br>00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,920<br>Why can't we get in there, Jill?<br><br>105<br>00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240<br>She was scared.<br><br>106<br>00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,120<br>She could not see the old man anymore, but I did.<br><br>107<br>00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,900<br>And he was still motioning with his hand for me to come to him.<br><br>108<br>00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,600<br>Looking at him made me feel physically ill.<br><br>109<br>00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,680<br>Jill, let's close it all off.<br><br>110<br>00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,140<br>We had a full circle of windows around us, all fully draped, and we pulled them closely<br><br>111<br>00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:14,600<br>so I could not see him anymore.<br><br>112<br>00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,200<br>I just could not look at him anymore.<br><br>113<br>00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:25,120<br>After a while, just for curiosity's sake, I phoned the available EMT, Mike.<br><br>114<br>00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,800<br>Could you please come to our station?<br><br>115<br>00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,320<br>When he arrived, I asked him to please go into the surgical ICU room, and I followed<br><br>116<br>00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,720<br>him, part way.<br><br>117<br>00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,360<br>And when I looked for the old man, he was gone.<br><br>118<br>00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,680<br>I told him I was worried about this door.<br><br>119<br>00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:43,600<br>It may need maintenance.<br><br>120<br>00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,720<br>When he tried, he went through the door, and when he came back, he said, the door seems<br><br>121<br>00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,520<br>fine, but I'm calling maintenance anyways because it's freezing in there, and he was<br><br>122<br>00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,520<br>worried that the heating was down.<br><br>123<br>00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,440<br>When morning shift arrived, they opened the curtains, and I was bracing to see the old<br><br>124<br>00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,440<br>man, still motioning.<br><br>125<br>00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,760<br>But he was still gone.<br><br>126<br>00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,480<br>The chair he sat in was there, empty.<br><br>127<br>00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,200<br>Empty in the morning sunlight, as if nothing had happened.<br><br>128<br>00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,760<br>Jill and I worked there for years, and never experienced anything like that again.<br><br>129<br>00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:28,920<br>It was like, whatever that thing was, had one shot at getting us to come in there, and<br><br>130<br>00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,460<br>it failed.<br><br>131<br>00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:36,600<br>And I truly believe it failed because something else was there that night.<br><br>132<br>00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:44,320<br>Something as good as the old man was evil, like a guardian angel.<br><br>133<br>00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,200<br>Whatever the good was, it would not let us pass or get close enough to the thing, pretending<br><br>134<br>00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,320<br>to be an old man, in need of assistance.<br><br>135<br>00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,000<br>I don't know much about paranormal things, but I know deep in my heart that thing was<br><br>136<br>00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,840<br>evil, and it wanted me for a purpose.<br><br>137<br>00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:11,960<br>This was not a ghost, not a haunting, but some type of entity that preys on humans.<br><br>138<br>00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,680<br>Humans that dare to get close enough.<br><br>139<br>00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:20,680<br>The hospital eventually closed, and it sat empty for years.<br><br>140<br>00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,680<br>Just empty and silent.<br><br>141<br>00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:28,960<br>You could see the passage of time as windows eventually were breaking, and decay started<br><br>142<br>00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,800<br>taking hold.<br><br>143<br>00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,320<br>The hospital sat at a red light on a busy highway.<br><br>144<br>00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:42,400<br>I can tell you, I sat through many a red light, daring myself to look at the windows.<br><br>145<br>00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:49,880<br>Look to see if I can see an old man, waving silently at whoever would come to his aid.<br><br>146<br>00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,840<br>The hospital has since been torn down.<br><br>147<br>00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,240<br>It is now a grass lot.<br><br>148<br>00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,780<br>But I know I will never forget it.<br><br>149<br>00:10:57,780 --> 00:11:05,520<br>I will also never forget the desperate, wanting look in the eyes of an unknown creature, and<br><br>150<br>00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:13,000<br>the feeling that we had been saved that night from an unknown fate.<br><br>151<br>00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000<br>This story is frightening on so many levels I don't know where to begin.<br><br>152<br>00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,780<br>It's almost like the two entities were competing against each other, one wanting to do some<br><br>153<br>00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,920<br>type of harm, and the other was put in place to save you.<br><br>154<br>00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,120<br>Just so amazing.<br><br>155<br>00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:39,000<br>Usually with hospital stories, it is ghostly experiences, but I think I agree that this<br><br>156<br>00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,440<br>was something dark, and certainly had ill intention toward whoever would get close to<br><br>157<br>00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,840<br>it.<br><br>158<br>00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,080<br>And that's another thing.<br><br>159<br>00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:52,200<br>I'm curious, why was it unable to leave that chair?<br><br>160<br>00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:59,380<br>If it was some otherworldly entity, why wouldn't it have the power to move around?<br><br>161<br>00:11:59,380 --> 00:12:04,400<br>Maybe because it violated some cosmic rule.<br><br>162<br>00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:10,600<br>Maybe its kind was not permitted to come after us, and maybe that's why the good entity<br><br>163<br>00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,920<br>was there to prevent any harm.<br><br>164<br>00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,020<br>A lot of maybes, and a lot of guessing.<br><br>165<br>00:12:18,020 --> 00:12:20,560<br>We could guess at this one for days.<br><br>166<br>00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:26,080<br>Needless to say, I am glad you and Jill were saved that night, which makes me wonder, does<br><br>167<br>00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,640<br>everyone get saved?<br><br>168<br>00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,720<br>I think it would be nice to glimpse the rule book on this.<br><br>169<br>00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,160<br>I mean, wouldn't it be nice to know something for a fact and not have to guess what is happening?<br><br>170<br>00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:43,720<br>Anyway, Amy, thanks so much for sending this story, it's truly scary, and I will not soon<br><br>171<br>00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,720<br>forget this one.<br><br>172<br>00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,440<br>Next, we have our second story, sent in from Bonnie.<br><br>173<br>00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,920<br>This is a one of a kind experience.<br><br>174<br>00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,640<br>Thanks for sharing this heartfelt story.<br><br>175<br>00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,440<br>I know it couldn't have been easy for you to think about it all again.<br><br>176<br>00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:08,440<br>Let's get into Bonnie's story that I have titled, Vision of Love.<br><br>177<br>00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,960<br>Hi, I'm Bonnie.<br><br>178<br>00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,920<br>I want everyone to know that I am sending this story out there as a beacon of hope to<br><br>179<br>00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,920<br>others.<br><br>180<br>00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:24,720<br>It's not a scary story, as most of your episodes are, but I am hoping you will still tell my<br><br>181<br>00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,680<br>story.<br><br>182<br>00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:33,480<br>My husband and I have been married 43 and a half years, and we had many more good years<br><br>183<br>00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,480<br>than bad.<br><br>184<br>00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,560<br>In fact, I really can't say that any of our years were bad.<br><br>185<br>00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:46,200<br>It's during times of struggle or disagreement that I have found you learn the most, the<br><br>186<br>00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,720<br>most about yourself and your partner.<br><br>187<br>00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,440<br>This is when growth happens, and unfortunately, not enough people stick it out long enough<br><br>188<br>00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,520<br>to build this bond with each other.<br><br>189<br>00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,320<br>My husband Edward and I did mostly everything together.<br><br>190<br>00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,400<br>Don't get me wrong, we had our individual interests as well, but we spent a lot of time<br><br>191<br>00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:15,200<br>fishing all through North America, Canada, and some parts of South America.<br><br>192<br>00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,640<br>We are not world travelers or rich.<br><br>193<br>00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,300<br>We just enjoyed fishing as a sport and saved up our money like everyone else to enjoy one<br><br>194<br>00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,880<br>of our favorite activities together.<br><br>195<br>00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,640<br>We also hunted, played golf, enjoyed some TV time together as well.<br><br>196<br>00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,160<br>My husband was my soulmate.<br><br>197<br>00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:44,360<br>We still held hands, snuggled in bed, kissed each other goodbye when we were leaving, and<br><br>198<br>00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,400<br>we treated each other the very best that we could.<br><br>199<br>00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,760<br>We were still in love, and it was a great life.<br><br>200<br>00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,200<br>Don't misunderstand, we certainly had our arguments like everyone else, but the way we handled<br><br>201<br>00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,560<br>our disagreements is what strengthened our marriage.<br><br>202<br>00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,200<br>I was a teaching nurse.<br><br>203<br>00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:14,160<br>I taught classes to other students like nurses on how to properly use a dialysis machine.<br><br>204<br>00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,380<br>At times, I would be assigned a class that would require travel, but the trips were usually<br><br>205<br>00:15:19,380 --> 00:15:20,840<br>within my state.<br><br>206<br>00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:27,740<br>I lived north of Pittsburgh, and I would mainly travel to a facility near Philadelphia.<br><br>207<br>00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:30,940<br>I would be gone normally about a week.<br><br>208<br>00:15:30,940 --> 00:15:37,040<br>My husband and I would talk every evening and briefly every morning while I was away.<br><br>209<br>00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,000<br>My husband was retired at this time, and he would handle everything at home, so I had<br><br>210<br>00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,500<br>no worries.<br><br>211<br>00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:51,880<br>One night, he hadn't answered my phone call, though concerned I was not immediately alarmed.<br><br>212<br>00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,940<br>I thought maybe he had just fallen asleep a little early in front of the TV and didn't<br><br>213<br>00:15:56,940 --> 00:15:59,000<br>hear the phone.<br><br>214<br>00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:06,360<br>But when he did not answer the next morning, I felt a wave of panic run through me.<br><br>215<br>00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,320<br>I needed to know that he was okay.<br><br>216<br>00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,240<br>I phoned my daughter to go check on her dad.<br><br>217<br>00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:22,720<br>She found her father laying in his favorite spot, as if watching TV, except he wasn't.<br><br>218<br>00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,920<br>He wasn't watching TV.<br><br>219<br>00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,360<br>He had passed away.<br><br>220<br>00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:33,680<br>The love of my life was gone, and he had died alone.<br><br>221<br>00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,820<br>My entire world was shattered.<br><br>222<br>00:16:36,820 --> 00:16:43,040<br>My worst fear had been realized, that we would be apart when one of us died.<br><br>223<br>00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,740<br>Was he scared?<br><br>224<br>00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:45,960<br>Was it sudden?<br><br>225<br>00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:52,600<br>I didn't know anything, and I was still four hours from home.<br><br>226<br>00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:59,560<br>My son, his wife, and my daughter were all at the house waiting for me to get home.<br><br>227<br>00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,040<br>They had called the police to report his passing, and asked that the authorities please delay<br><br>228<br>00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,360<br>a few hours until I could get home.<br><br>229<br>00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:13,320<br>I wanted to see him once more in our home.<br><br>230<br>00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:19,080<br>Once I arrived home, I had a final moment alone with my husband, and then they took<br><br>231<br>00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,820<br>him from our house.<br><br>232<br>00:17:21,820 --> 00:17:27,680<br>We were devout in our religion, but since God had taken him, I had a rage in me that<br><br>233<br>00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,100<br>struck out against God.<br><br>234<br>00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:34,440<br>I was so angry that God had taken him while we were apart.<br><br>235<br>00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:40,800<br>I could think of nothing much more except my anger and my newfound loneliness.<br><br>236<br>00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,540<br>Besides those two feelings, I was numb.<br><br>237<br>00:17:44,540 --> 00:17:47,240<br>I lived in a void.<br><br>238<br>00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,720<br>I may have laughed, but I wasn't happy.<br><br>239<br>00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,560<br>I would talk to people, but I was never fully engaged in the conversation.<br><br>240<br>00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,120<br>I didn't care what anyone else had to say.<br><br>241<br>00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:03,760<br>My grief was palpable.<br><br>242<br>00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:10,600<br>At the end of the day, I barely remembered what I had done that day, because without<br><br>243<br>00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,760<br>Edward, it was meaningless.<br><br>244<br>00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:21,640<br>I could feel a heavy blanket of sadness over me, keeping me from any enjoyment of life.<br><br>245<br>00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,760<br>I went through every day like a robot.<br><br>246<br>00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:32,560<br>I did what I needed to do, but without any joy, without any emotion, except deep anger<br><br>247<br>00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,280<br>at God and profound sadness.<br><br>248<br>00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,560<br>I forced myself to go to a church service.<br><br>249<br>00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,840<br>It was the feast of St. Michael, the Archangel.<br><br>250<br>00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:53,840<br>It was Sunday service, and as I sat in the pew, I became so focused on my anger.<br><br>251<br>00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,580<br>In my head, I was screaming at God.<br><br>252<br>00:18:57,580 --> 00:19:00,120<br>Why did he have to be alone?<br><br>253<br>00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:01,800<br>I'm a nurse.<br><br>254<br>00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:08,420<br>I could have saved him, but you took him when he was alone.<br><br>255<br>00:19:08,420 --> 00:19:14,320<br>How long did he lay there, knowing I couldn't be there with him in his final moments?<br><br>256<br>00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,680<br>I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't cry in church.<br><br>257<br>00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,080<br>And then, I wasn't in church anymore.<br><br>258<br>00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:31,320<br>I was in our game room where my husband had died, but he was alive.<br><br>259<br>00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,720<br>He was watching TV in his favorite spot.<br><br>260<br>00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,880<br>Then, I saw the figure of an angel.<br><br>261<br>00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:46,000<br>I only assumed it was an angel because I could see wings.<br><br>262<br>00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,760<br>As far as any other features or details, I could not see any because the light she was<br><br>263<br>00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:59,280<br>emanating was bright and overpowered any characteristics she may have had.<br><br>264<br>00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:07,000<br>The thing was, I just knew it was a female, and I knew I was only an observer.<br><br>265<br>00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,800<br>I was being shown something.<br><br>266<br>00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:18,800<br>This angel's very presence made you feel comfort, love, compassion.<br><br>267<br>00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,960<br>The angel came up behind my husband.<br><br>268<br>00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,560<br>She kneeled down beside him.<br><br>269<br>00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,760<br>Then his head and shoulders slumped.<br><br>270<br>00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,960<br>I had just seen him die.<br><br>271<br>00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,600<br>She reached for him then, and she helped his spirit stand.<br><br>272<br>00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,740<br>His body still lay on the floor.<br><br>273<br>00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:46,240<br>He looked confused, but not afraid.<br><br>274<br>00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,480<br>She had her arm around him, and they were looking at each other's eyes.<br><br>275<br>00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:59,720<br>Now they were holding hands, and he willingly went with her through the wall, and they<br><br>276<br>00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,920<br>were gone, and I was back at church.<br><br>277<br>00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,760<br>I bowed my head.<br><br>278<br>00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,140<br>I thanked God for the peace the vision had given me.<br><br>279<br>00:21:11,140 --> 00:21:19,320<br>My love had not been afraid, and he was certainly not alone.<br><br>280<br>00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:27,680<br>I was still angry that Edward was gone, but my constant rage had subsided.<br><br>281<br>00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:34,580<br>I felt that I was given the gift of assurance that he was comforted and properly cared for<br><br>282<br>00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:37,200<br>in his final moments.<br><br>283<br>00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,480<br>I never told anyone the full story until now.<br><br>284<br>00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:46,920<br>I told my family before that, yeah, I had seen an angel, and she had brought me peace.<br><br>285<br>00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,280<br>They never heard the full story.<br><br>286<br>00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,720<br>When I recently told them the whole story, they wondered why I hadn't shared it before<br><br>287<br>00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,720<br>now.<br><br>288<br>00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:04,100<br>Well, the only answer I can give for that, I wasn't ready to share my vision.<br><br>289<br>00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:11,560<br>My husband has been gone 13 long years now, and the story belonged to Edward and I, and<br><br>290<br>00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,240<br>our love story is not over.<br><br>291<br>00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,680<br>Bless you all.<br><br>292<br>00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,320<br>I'm not crying, you are.<br><br>293<br>00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:27,240<br>Oh my God, this is such a beautiful, sad, awesome story.<br><br>294<br>00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:33,240<br>I am truly sorry you lost your husband, but I'm awestruck at your vision.<br><br>295<br>00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:40,080<br>How amazing for you to have been given that final moment with him.<br><br>296<br>00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:46,560<br>And it sounds like you two filled your life with beautiful, meaningful memories with a<br><br>297<br>00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,240<br>love that was written in the stars.<br><br>298<br>00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,200<br>Blessings to you, Blunny, and I agree, your love story is not over.<br><br>299<br>00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,480<br>You will be together again.<br><br>300<br>00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,620<br>If you've had any kind of paranormal experience, please let me tell your story.<br><br>301<br>00:23:04,620 --> 00:23:09,000<br>Send them to My True Story at myyahoo.com.<br><br>302<br>00:23:09,000 -->
