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 --> 00:00:36,240 Hi everyone, welcome back to Paranormal and Supernatural True Stories. 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:43,480 Today we have an experience sent in by twins and I can surely tell you that they certainly 9 00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,680 had double trouble when they decided to play with a Ouija board. 10 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:58,200 Hey, let's not waste any time getting into what I have titled Tormented Twins. 11 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,640 My twin brother, Emmanuel and I decided to send our experience to you. 12 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,920 My name is Emily and I am usually called Emmy and my brother goes by Manny. 13 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,160 When we were younger, we took turns writing in a journal and we were lucky enough to have 14 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,560 written this down so long ago. 15 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,720 The main reason we decided to send our story is to hopefully give others pause before they 16 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800 try playing with a Ouija board. 17 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:34,460 These are not toys and it is unfortunate that they are being sold so carelessly to children. 18 00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:40,000 The thing is though, I am not positive we would have listened to a Tove caution and 19 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,760 we didn't. 20 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:48,440 But if this stops one person from using it, then it is worth writing it down. 21 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,780 We were 16 when this all went down. 22 00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:57,160 We are 27 now and we are both still somewhat traumatized from the whole experience. 23 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:04,000 I mean to say we don't walk around completely damaged from it but occasionally when we think 24 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:13,340 of it, it is like a scab opening the wound and an instant of fear grips us. 25 00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:17,980 We grew up at the edge of the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA. 26 00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:22,720 We were in the country but we could be in the center of all the major shopping areas 27 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,800 within about a 20 minute drive. 28 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,240 We had a very normal upbringing, our parents got along great and we had a lot of friends. 29 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:38,640 We were pretty good kids, getting away with the usual dumb shit kids our age did but nothing 30 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:40,520 really too edgy. 31 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,540 My brother and I were both single at the time and we were having a good time dating. 32 00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:51,760 One summer evening our parents told us they were going on a week long trip and were going 33 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,520 to trust us to hold down the fort. 34 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:03,380 No parties, no friends over though we could go visit our friends at their house. 35 00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:10,960 We were responsible for caring for our family dog, Jester, keeping the house clean and following 36 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:18,640 the general rules they set forth or they would never trust us again. 37 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:25,100 My brother and I glared at each other as if to say don't ruin this. 38 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:32,900 We loved blaming each other and arguing but we loved each other more than anything. 39 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:38,800 They left Friday morning before we were even awake and of course they were sure to wake 40 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:46,000 us up to say goodbye, which to a teenager was just annoying and we both went back to 41 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,640 sleep. 42 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:54,200 Upon awakening later we realized that we were officially on our own and instantly thought 43 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,680 of all the crazy shit we could do but then we calmed down. 44 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,880 We didn't want to ruin the trust our parents put in us. 45 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,000 We loved this feeling of freedom. 46 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Our first day alone was Friday and it was storming outside so we ordered pizza and wings 47 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,880 and played video games and argued for most of the day. 48 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,080 By the time evening hit we were ready for something different. 49 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,820 We carefully discussed breaking the rules but just a little bit. 50 00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:34,480 It wouldn't be a party but we thought we could get away with inviting our crushes over for 51 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,080 the evening just to hang out. 52 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,200 We called them and they both said yes. 53 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,060 Manny's crush was a girl named Nadia. 54 00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:48,880 She was pretty and I got along with her really well. 55 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,720 In fact we were already friends before they took an interest in each other. 56 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,840 My crush was a new kid in town. 57 00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:57,840 His name was Lucas. 58 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:06,720 I didn't know a lot about him but he seemed interesting and he was easy on the eyes. 59 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,280 They both came over around 8pm or so that evening. 60 00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:16,960 After the initial hey how are you and what's new crap we all kind of found ourselves at 61 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,160 a little bit of a loss as of what to get into. 62 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:30,740 And for the life of me I have no clue why I suddenly suggested hey let's do a Ouija 63 00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:32,540 board. 64 00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:40,280 This is not anything I had ever taken an interest in ever and I just blurted it out. 65 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:44,640 My brother looked at me like what the hell. 66 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:53,440 My crush said sure whatever but Nadia instantly said no way it's not safe. 67 00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,520 I asked her how it was not safe and she said that her grandmother was old school. 68 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:07,440 She grew up in Haiti as a child and she knows about magics and she warned Nadia of playing 69 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,000 with Ouija boards that they invited darkness especially for those who do not know how to 70 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000 properly control the board. 71 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,360 I told her that it wouldn't be dangerous. 72 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:26,400 We didn't even have a real one we would just make our own on some poster board. 73 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:34,780 Nadia was positive this was not an activity she would participate in and she quickly left. 74 00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:40,240 My brother begged her to stay but she left anyway. 75 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Manny was pissed at me. 76 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:49,680 So we argued for a bit and then decided to go ahead and do the Ouija board anyway despite 77 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Nadia's warning we were just super curious to see if something would happen. 78 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,720 I'm sure we just thought it was stupid and nothing would happen. 79 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:09,040 I'm sure we didn't believe in a piece of paper being capable of producing evil and I'm sure 80 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,180 now that we were very wrong. 81 00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:20,720 We created the board grabbed the shot glass for the planchette and sat around the Ouija 82 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,140 board. 83 00:07:22,140 --> 00:07:25,460 We actually had to Google what to do. 84 00:07:25,460 --> 00:07:31,480 We put our fingers on the shot glass and my brother asked the first question is there 85 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,800 a spirit here? 86 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,400 The glass instantly moved to the word no so I punched my brother in the arm and said you're 87 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,920 an idiot why would you move it to no? 88 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,260 He laughed and said he didn't do it. 89 00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:52,160 So we argued again for a while when Lucas finally said hey guys can can we get back 90 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,600 to it? 91 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,240 We settled and it was now my turn. 92 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,060 I looked at Manny and warned him with my eyes of moving the glass. 93 00:08:02,060 --> 00:08:07,960 Then I asked any spirits nearby to let us know they were there. 94 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Please say yes and tell us your name. 95 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480 We waited. 96 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,960 Nothing then the glass moved to yes. 97 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,160 My brother and I glared at each other searching for the deception in each other's eyes and 98 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,580 not finding it. 99 00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:31,580 So we focused on Lucas. 100 00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:35,120 He removed his hand and said I didn't move it. 101 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,920 So then I said okay spirit can you do something to let us know you are here? 102 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,420 Knock three times. 103 00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:50,440 We all sat and listened. 104 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,660 Nothing. 105 00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:53,960 This is stupid my brother said. 106 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,360 Let's go play some Xbox. 107 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,640 And they both ditched me for video games. 108 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,480 What the hell. 109 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,520 Lucas was supposed to be here with me. 110 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Whatever I thought I would just go hang with them. 111 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,440 Lucas left around midnight and after scowling at each other for a ruined evening we both 112 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,320 went to our rooms to sleep. 113 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,760 Later that night around 2 30 in the morning something woke me. 114 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,960 I lay there listening. 115 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,960 Trying to comprehend what had woke me. 116 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,520 Then three loud knocks. 117 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,880 What the hell. 118 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,680 Jester came running into my room as if he too were scared. 119 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,320 We jumped and ran to my brother's room. 120 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,240 He was awake too and he said it was the second time this happened tonight. 121 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,300 Well what is it I asked. 122 00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:55,960 I have no idea he said. 123 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,880 Maybe something outside banging on the house. 124 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:07,480 So we all went outside gripping each other and checked around the outside of the house. 125 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:14,360 No sign from Jester that anything was amiss out here and we went back inside. 126 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,200 Jester quickly ran and hid in his room. 127 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,240 Yes our dog has his own room. 128 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,640 Then three more knocks. 129 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,220 Fuck Emmy. 130 00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:32,600 You told the spirit to knock three times didn't you. 131 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,160 I don't know maybe. 132 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,000 Seriously you think that's what this is. 133 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,960 That was like six hours ago. 134 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,680 While he blankly looked at me and then he just stood there. 135 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,120 My brother. 136 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:57,080 He rose from the kitchen chair and began to walk backwards. 137 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,360 He was walking down the hall. 138 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,240 I was trying to wrap my mind around what the hell he was doing. 139 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,360 I said Manny stop that shit right now. 140 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,160 Stop it. 141 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,780 He just kept walking backwards down the hall. 142 00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:17,280 His face was a total blank. 143 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:23,340 His eyes staring but not seeing. 144 00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:26,320 I was very disturbed by this. 145 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,320 I ran to him and punched him in his arm and screamed in his face. 146 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,800 This isn't funny you asshole. 147 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,920 Stop it now or I'm calling mom and dad. 148 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:46,600 While his face never changed from a blank slate he said but I'm just getting started. 149 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,560 I must have just been stunned. 150 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:57,560 I just watched him walk backwards down the hall and go to his room and slam the door. 151 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,600 I had no clue what to do. 152 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,240 Do I go in there? 153 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,560 Do I lock myself in my room? 154 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,240 Do I leave? 155 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,680 Should I call mom and dad? 156 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:12,160 But what if he was playing and just trying to scare me? 157 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,040 It was too freaky and I was too nervous. 158 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,320 I locked myself and Jester in my room. 159 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:27,400 Something deep inside told me this was real but I kept trying to tell myself there's no 160 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,320 way this was real. 161 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,360 In the morning everything would be okay. 162 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:41,440 I cuddled Jester on my bed and listened to every sound the house made that night. 163 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:47,860 I was glad the storm stopped and at some point I dazed off. 164 00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:50,360 I awoke with a start. 165 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,200 Everything in my room looked the same. 166 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,480 Jester needed to go outside. 167 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,080 I unlocked my door and peeked down the hall. 168 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,720 Manny's door was still shut. 169 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,300 It was quiet. 170 00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,120 I hurried Jester out the front door. 171 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,200 As he went potty I looked at our neighbor's house. 172 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,840 At how normal it felt. 173 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,280 How every day it felt. 174 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,560 And then I looked at our house. 175 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:27,600 And I know this sounds strange but our house seemed different. 176 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,280 It felt different somehow. 177 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,840 It felt out of place. 178 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,000 And just it felt wrong. 179 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,160 I turned around to go back inside and Manny was standing in the doorway. 180 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,760 I stopped. 181 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,480 We stared at each other and then he said, 182 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,640 Hey, I want bacon, do you? 183 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,300 I stood motionless, speechless. 184 00:13:55,300 --> 00:14:00,040 After all that fucked up shit, he wanted to know if I wanted bacon. 185 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,540 Yeah, I said, I'll have some bacon. 186 00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:10,060 After breakfast I asked Manny what he remembered about last night. 187 00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:11,940 He looked at me and said, 188 00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:13,920 Why would I not remember anything? 189 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,920 We didn't drink anything. 190 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,720 Manny, do you remember going to bed? 191 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160 He thought for a minute. 192 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,520 Actually, no, I don't. 193 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,920 I must have fell asleep on the couch and kind of sleptwalked to bed or something late last 194 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,420 night. 195 00:14:32,420 --> 00:14:35,880 I shook my head, no, no Manny. 196 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:36,880 That's not what happened. 197 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,880 You... 198 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,620 What the fuck? 199 00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:46,240 What the fuck is that? 200 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,240 What's happening? 201 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,680 Run! 202 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,340 Jester was whining desperately in front of the door. 203 00:14:57,340 --> 00:15:01,320 We all ran breathlessly out of the house. 204 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,560 Jester took off and wouldn't come back to us. 205 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,680 We turned toward the house. 206 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:15,380 Every window in our house was spontaneously shattering. 207 00:15:15,380 --> 00:15:20,600 We stood in horrified, helpless silence. 208 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:27,800 When it was over, we ran to find our dog, which thankfully we did. 209 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,260 Our neighbors called the police. 210 00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:34,080 They showed up, along with the fire department. 211 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,780 Everyone thought there was a gas leak. 212 00:15:36,780 --> 00:15:40,880 After a careful inspection, the house was cleared as safe. 213 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,080 Having no internal reason for the window damage, the fire chief suggested that it was possible 214 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,560 a microburst hit our house. 215 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,360 It wasn't impossible, and he explained the violent weather phenomenon to us. 216 00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:02,960 We both listened intently, fully understanding what he was saying, but knowing this was not 217 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,000 from some freak storm. 218 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,920 The fire department assisted us with clean up and also supplied us with plastic for a 219 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,360 temporary fix for the windows. 220 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,700 They tried to contact our parents, but they didn't have cell service in the mountains. 221 00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:24,680 Our grandparents rushed over and insisted we stay with them for the rest of the week, 222 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,280 but we insisted on staying, but it would be there to fix it. 223 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Our grandmother agreed and decided she was staying with us for the rest of the week. 224 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:42,620 So she went home to grab her things and would be back before dark. 225 00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:48,000 After the spectacle of cops and fire trucks in the front yard was finally over, we went 226 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000 inside. 227 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:57,640 I told Manny about his behavior the night before, the walking backwards, and what he 228 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,000 said to me about just getting started. 229 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,960 He didn't remember anything about it or any memory after we checked the outside of the 230 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,840 house. 231 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,040 He just assumed he fell asleep in front of the TV. 232 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680 Grandma came over at dusk. 233 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:23,840 She goes to bed so early, I wasn't even sure why she came, but it made her happy, I guess, 234 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,840 and honestly it felt good having her there. 235 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,400 She was in bed before 9pm. 236 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,800 Then Manny and I called his crush, Nadia. 237 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,160 We told her everything. 238 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,520 She said, I told you not to fuck with that thing. 239 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,120 Who knows what dangerous thing you invited into your house. 240 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:49,860 She was pissed, but very concerned. 241 00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:56,520 She said she would call her grandmother, her Haitian grandma, that knew about magics. 242 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,760 I felt she may be our only hope. 243 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:08,780 The next day, we tried repeatedly to reach Nadia, but it would just ring endlessly, which 244 00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:12,560 is odd, there was no voicemail connection. 245 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,440 We never heard from her either. 246 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:22,360 That day passed quite normally, despite the feeling that something was off, something 247 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:25,100 not quite right. 248 00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:30,920 Even Jester showed no interest in playing with us or even eating. 249 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:37,340 That evening, Grandma took Jester to the back door to let him out to go potty before bed, 250 00:18:37,340 --> 00:18:40,920 and then I heard her gasp. 251 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,320 Then she yelled for us to hurry and come see. 252 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:52,360 When we arrived at the back door, we both kind of whispered, what the fuck? 253 00:18:52,360 --> 00:19:00,520 In our backyard, there were an ocean, hundreds of white-tailed deer. 254 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,680 There were so many that you could not even see the ground. 255 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,200 And they went on into the woods and beyond. 256 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:15,800 The porch lights showed reflective deer eyes as far as you could see. 257 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,760 And maybe this is normal somewhere in the world, but it was not normal for this area. 258 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:30,360 The deer were not moving, not shifting their weight, not even stamping their feet. 259 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:36,480 They were all still as statues while staring at us. 260 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,880 And you could see that they didn't even blink. 261 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,080 All reflected deer eyes were on us. 262 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,520 Then the motion light on the porch went off. 263 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,000 Total darkness. 264 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,920 Somehow it was terrifying knowing all those deer were still going to be there if I got 265 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,640 a flashlight. 266 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,280 So I did. 267 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,160 And they were. 268 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:10,080 My grandma breathlessly said, it's some type of bedevilment. 269 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,520 This isn't natural. 270 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,920 The word bedevilment struck me for some reason. 271 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,800 I had never heard it before. 272 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Coming from my sweet grandma, it just seemed strange. 273 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,000 My brother decided to try to scare them away and stepped outside. 274 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,880 Arms flailing and screaming. 275 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,800 Yet, not one deer ran. 276 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:43,040 In fact, they all took a step towards him in unison. 277 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:50,480 He froze in his tracks and I think he instantly regretted leaving the safety of the house. 278 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,040 And he ran back inside. 279 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,920 What's happening out there? 280 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,920 What's causing this? 281 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,880 My grandma asked. 282 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,920 When she turned to look at us, she could tell that we knew more. 283 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:09,400 Grandma always knew when we were lying or hiding something. 284 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,360 I told Manny we needed to tell her. 285 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:16,100 We sat her down and explained everything. 286 00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:23,200 When we finished, she just sat there staring into her coffee. 287 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,560 Possibly trying to make sense of what she'd just heard. 288 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:37,320 Yet it was a very uncomfortable amount of time without a response or comment or anything. 289 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,200 I gently shook her arm and I said, Grandma, are you alright? 290 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,480 Grandma. 291 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,880 Now Manny was shaking her too. 292 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,880 Grandma! 293 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:54,160 Finally, she raised her head and we instantly knew something was wrong. 294 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,400 Her eyes looked through us. 295 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,720 Then she smiled at us. 296 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:07,040 She looked around the house at all the broken windows and began laughing. 297 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:14,800 Look what you did! 298 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,560 Then Jester began barking in his room. 299 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,960 Manny and I backed our way down the hall away from Grandma. 300 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,240 When we got to Jester's room, he was terrifying. 301 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:34,160 He was slobbering, gnashing his teeth and growling and barking. 302 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,200 But he was doing it at us. 303 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,160 Like he wanted to attack us. 304 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:49,720 Quickly, Manny pulled the door shut and now Grandma was walking toward us. 305 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,720 But she was only asking, what's wrong with Jester? 306 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,560 She seemed fine now. 307 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,960 We decided that we would all sleep in Mom and Dad's room. 308 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,440 They had a king size bed and hopefully we would all be safe together. 309 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,920 It was around midnight. 310 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,200 We were awakened by three loud knocks. 311 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:18,200 Oh God, no, it's happening again, I said. 312 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,800 Then again the knocks happened. 313 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,360 But Manny said, wait, that's the front door. 314 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:31,200 We all jumped up and ran to see who it could be at such a late hour. 315 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,520 It was Nadia and her grandmother. 316 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:41,600 She told us that she tried calling us all day, but the phone never went to voicemail. 317 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,880 We told her the same. 318 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:49,280 She said she was really worried because she knew what we had done and she couldn't reach 319 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,400 us. 320 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,200 And she drove to go get her grandmother to bring her to help us. 321 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:01,120 Her grandmother said, they know I'm here and they don't want me here. 322 00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:02,400 They? 323 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,140 What do you mean they? 324 00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:07,840 My dear, she said. 325 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:14,680 You have a house full of lost and angry spirits. 326 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:21,080 They are not very powerful, but together they can prove to be troublesome. 327 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,000 You are lucky to have only lost your windows. 328 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,120 You are lucky to know Nadia to get you help. 329 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:34,720 And you were foolish to play the divining board. 330 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:42,800 With that, she glanced at my brother and me and the look said we should have known better. 331 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,720 We should have listened. 332 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,520 Her grandmother said we needed to act quickly now. 333 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,040 She could feel the spirits gathering energies. 334 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:59,000 She jabbed each of our fingers and collected a dab of blood on a piece of cloth that reeked 335 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040 of something awful. 336 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:08,680 Then, she instructed us to leave the house, to go just beyond what is considered this 337 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840 property line. 338 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,640 Wait there until she called for us to return. 339 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,360 She said we need to hurry and to take the dog. 340 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:22,980 Then, she collected his dab of blood too. 341 00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:30,720 My grandma just seemed confused, but she complied and did as instructed. 342 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,240 We stood out on the street. 343 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,760 We saw her turn on every light in the house. 344 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,360 Then we heard terrible sounds. 345 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:45,280 Bizarre sounds. 346 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,560 Some of the house lights were dimming while others were super bright. 347 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,160 This went on for about two hours. 348 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,480 We were exhausted. 349 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,240 Suddenly. 350 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,160 All the plastic. 351 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:10,040 And all the windows blew out as if the house itself took a deep breath and finally exhaled. 352 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,320 Then all the lights went back to normal. 353 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,200 And we waited. 354 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,740 Nadia's grandma came out and motioned for us to return. 355 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:28,000 As we entered, she handed my brother and I and my grandma a small cloth sack. 356 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,640 It was about palm sized and she said we were to hang it in the place where we sleep. 357 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,560 It was to ward off evil and would help to protect us. 358 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:45,040 Nadia's grandmother was named Esther and she was our savior. 359 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:51,780 She gave us our talisman bags and instructed us to stay away from the world of the dead. 360 00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:54,340 We don't belong there yet. 361 00:26:54,340 --> 00:26:59,380 She then kissed each of us on our forehead and bid us good night. 362 00:26:59,380 --> 00:27:03,280 We thanked her all the way to her car. 363 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,760 And then we thanked Nadia. 364 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,680 Our grandma saw no reason to tell our parents after all. 365 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:18,480 The police report said that a microburst was likely responsible for the broken windows. 366 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,720 She saw no reason to ever speak of this. 367 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,120 She worried that talking about it would give it power to return. 368 00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:35,580 My grandma kept her cloth sack, the little talisman, with her until she passed away some 369 00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:41,240 years later and I was sure to place it in her coffin. 370 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,880 My brother and I also kept ours. 371 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:51,240 Not just for the protection, but as a reminder of that night and how carelessly we played 372 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,640 with powers we knew nothing about. 373 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,520 Stay safe out there and thanks for reading this. 374 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,280 What an incredible experience. 375 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,800 I can't say that I'm shocked over these events. 376 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,480 Legion boards are certainly nothing to mess with. 377 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,080 I know I will never touch one. 378 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,080 I just won't. 379 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,920 I don't even want one in my house or around me. 380 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:25,520 The part about Manny walking backwards really just tripped me up. 381 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,320 That would have totally freaked me out. 382 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,760 I see myself running from the house at that point. 383 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,480 With the dog. 384 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,200 Thanks to both of you, Emmy and Manny, for sending this in. 385 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,280 I think this is my first story that involves twins. 386 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,800 Anyway, I'm glad you guys got through this. 387 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,320 Thank you again for
