[Music] to preface<font color="#E5E5E5"> this I should mention</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">all of this took place</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> back home on my</font> reservation I'm Algonquin First Nation<font color="#E5E5E5"> from Canada</font> another thing I<font color="#CCCCCC"> should mention is that</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">on the reservation</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> traditional beliefs</font> and legends<font color="#E5E5E5"> of the paranormal are still</font> a big<font color="#E5E5E5"> part of our community the attitude</font> of most people towards the paranormal was one of assurance to us<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> paranormal is a regular part of life we <font color="#E5E5E5">believe in a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> spirit</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> world and we believe</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that sometimes</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> these beings can cross</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">over into our</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> world and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> maybe even live</font> among us when I tell paranormal<font color="#E5E5E5"> stories</font> to my non-native friends they're always in such disbelief<font color="#CCCCCC"> that things like</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this</font> have actually<font color="#CCCCCC"> happened and how casually</font> I talk about<font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font> but it's only<font color="#E5E5E5"> because it's</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> been so</font> normalized for me where they have <font color="#E5E5E5">absolutely no paranormal experiences I</font> have a bunch and most<font color="#E5E5E5"> everyone I know on</font> the res<font color="#E5E5E5"> says even more</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> than I do</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I don't</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">really care to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> explain it</font> neighbor were all<font color="#E5E5E5"> crazy from drinking</font> their toxic tap water anyways<font color="#E5E5E5"> here's the</font> story this<font color="#E5E5E5"> all happened in the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fall of</font> 2011 when I was 16<font color="#CCCCCC"> years old</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">living</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in a nearby city</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with my mom so</font> that<font color="#CCCCCC"> I could get</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a better education</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> than</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> one I could get back home but we'd</font> go back every<font color="#CCCCCC"> single weekend to see my</font> dad<font color="#E5E5E5"> and little brother one Friday during</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the drive back home I got a text</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> from a</font> friend<font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> mine</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> she told me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> about a party</font> that was happening<font color="#E5E5E5"> that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> night and asked</font> me when I'd be home so that they could come<font color="#CCCCCC"> pick</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> me up</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I gave her a time and</font> that<font color="#CCCCCC"> was that we get home and as soon as</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">we stepped inside the house we see my</font> dad and my cousin sitting at the kitchen table drinking<font color="#E5E5E5"> some beers they're both</font> cops<font color="#E5E5E5"> on the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> rez so usually beers with</font> this partner on a Friday evening means that they had a<font color="#E5E5E5"> particularly tough week</font> at work<font color="#E5E5E5"> typically the toughest cases</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">they have to deal</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> with are the ones that</font> deal with child abuse<font color="#E5E5E5"> so a part of me</font> felt sad immediately that something<font color="#CCCCCC"> bad</font> had happened<font color="#E5E5E5"> they both</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> looked tired and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">drained but they're happy to see</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> us</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we</font> say our greetings<font color="#CCCCCC"> catch up a little and</font> my dad asked me<font color="#E5E5E5"> if I have any</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I tell him about the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> party and where</font> it'll be<font color="#E5E5E5"> and he and our cousins share</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> weird look why<font color="#E5E5E5"> are you guys making that</font> face did something<font color="#E5E5E5"> happen</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I asked I</font> don't know<font color="#E5E5E5"> should we tell her my cousin</font> said looking at my dad<font color="#E5E5E5"> he laughed and</font> they decided<font color="#E5E5E5"> that I should</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> probably know</font> what's been going<font color="#CCCCCC"> on since I'd be going</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to a cottage pretty deep in the woods</font> later that evening<font color="#E5E5E5"> they start with the</font> first strange call that they got on <font color="#E5E5E5">Monday night</font> an older woman<font color="#E5E5E5"> called saying that people</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">were</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> outside of her house knocking</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> on</font> all<font color="#E5E5E5"> of her windows she said she couldn't</font> see<font color="#CCCCCC"> anybody but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> there must have</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> been at</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">least</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> three</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> people judging</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> by all the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">different locations</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of the knocking they</font> arrived at the woman's home<font color="#CCCCCC"> and expected</font> all around the house<font color="#E5E5E5"> even checked the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">woods but nothing came up they tell you</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that it's probably just some teenagers</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">playing tricks</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> on her and that there</font> isn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> much</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> else that they can do besides</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">patrol around the area in case</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> they come</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">back</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> when Wednesday night the same woman</font> called again with the same problem it <font color="#E5E5E5">had rained that day there was mud all</font> around<font color="#E5E5E5"> this woman's home so they figured</font> at the very least<font color="#E5E5E5"> they'd find footprints</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">but they couldn't find a thing this is</font> when they started<font color="#CCCCCC"> feeling like something</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">was off because one of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the windows where</font> the woman was adamant about<font color="#E5E5E5"> there being</font> knocking was completely impossible<font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font> get<font color="#E5E5E5"> to without stepping through this</font> huge mud puddle<font color="#E5E5E5"> this is when they</font> started to<font color="#CCCCCC"> think</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that the woman was</font> lying<font color="#E5E5E5"> but they just told her the same</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">thing</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> they told</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> her a few</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> nights prior</font> by Thursday night<font color="#E5E5E5"> everyone on the</font> reservation had been talking<font color="#CCCCCC"> about these</font> strange<font color="#E5E5E5"> experiences it turns out this</font> woman<font color="#CCCCCC"> wasn't the only</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> one experiencing</font> the knocking she was just the only<font color="#E5E5E5"> one</font> that called<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> police I mean</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> all of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">this was taking place on</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a rez so it</font> wasn't long before people were<font color="#E5E5E5"> linking</font> it to supernatural causes<font color="#E5E5E5"> my dad was</font> still sure it was<font color="#E5E5E5"> just a group of teens</font> pranking<font color="#CCCCCC"> people but then they</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> got</font> another call from<font color="#CCCCCC"> the same</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> woman for the</font> same reason they rushed<font color="#CCCCCC"> Auvergne</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> were</font> met with<font color="#E5E5E5"> the same situation except this</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">time</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> neighbor walked</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> over looking</font> pale as<font color="#CCCCCC"> a ghost he says</font> is this<font color="#E5E5E5"> about the knocking they</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> notice</font> he's a little shaky yeah<font color="#E5E5E5"> did you</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> see</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">something</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> they asked the man nodded and</font> said you<font color="#E5E5E5"> guys are gonna</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> think I'm crazy</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">but yeah</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he goes on</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to explain what</font> he saw<font color="#CCCCCC"> he said</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that he stepped outside</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">for his cigarettes on his front porch</font> when he heard knocking<font color="#E5E5E5"> he looked around</font> to see<font color="#CCCCCC"> where it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was coming from</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and when</font> he looked to<font color="#E5E5E5"> his neighbor's house he saw</font> it<font color="#E5E5E5"> there was a black figure standing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">outside the woman's window</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the same one</font> with the mud puddle I mentioned looking <font color="#E5E5E5">into her home he said it looked humanoid</font> in stature<font color="#E5E5E5"> but completely made out of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">shadow you could tell it was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> something</font> solid ish but he couldn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> make out any</font> features on it he stared at it <font color="#E5E5E5">completely in shock</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and watched the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">thing as it knocked a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> couple of times</font> and then<font color="#E5E5E5"> darted</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> around the house</font> knocking<font color="#E5E5E5"> on every single window he said</font> it moved too fast<font color="#E5E5E5"> to be human it was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">practically a blur and went</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> around the</font> house a few<font color="#CCCCCC"> times</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> then ran across the</font> road<font color="#E5E5E5"> into the tree line behind one tree</font> in particular<font color="#E5E5E5"> the man was frozen but he</font> couldn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> look away</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it then leaned out</font> from<font color="#CCCCCC"> behind the tree staring directly</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> at</font> him with yellow<font color="#E5E5E5"> eyes that reflected the</font> lights similar to a<font color="#E5E5E5"> cat's then it smiled</font> showing<font color="#CCCCCC"> its small but numerous pointed</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and sharp teeth</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I almost crapped my</font> pants<font color="#E5E5E5"> he had attempted to joke but his</font> voice<font color="#CCCCCC"> was still shaky fast-forward to</font> Friday stories<font color="#E5E5E5"> are being exchanged all over the</font> reservation about<font color="#E5E5E5"> other sightings and</font> experiences people<font color="#E5E5E5"> were having</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on top of</font> multiple<font color="#E5E5E5"> people experiencing the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">knocking there was also quite</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a few</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">sightings with everyone describing the</font> creature in<font color="#E5E5E5"> the same way one woman was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">bringing her trash bin to the road when</font> she<font color="#E5E5E5"> thought that she</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> had saw in her</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">peripheral vision something standing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">near the trees she walked back up the</font> driveway<font color="#CCCCCC"> and into her home feeling like</font> she was being watched<font color="#E5E5E5"> right before she</font> was about to<font color="#CCCCCC"> open her door to go back</font> inside<font color="#E5E5E5"> her home she looked back and saw</font> two reflective yellow eyes watching her from<font color="#CCCCCC"> the trees</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> she said as it was about</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">five feet</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> above the ground</font> another couple<font color="#E5E5E5"> was driving at night and</font> they saw a<font color="#E5E5E5"> humanoid figure standing in</font> the middle the road as they got closer they slowed down and it turned around<font color="#E5E5E5"> to face them</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that's when they saw the reflective</font> yellow eyes<font color="#CCCCCC"> and the sharp pointed teeth</font> as it smiled at them they stopped the car<font color="#E5E5E5"> too afraid</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to go closer</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to it until</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">they decided to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just drive past it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> being</font> on a narrow<font color="#E5E5E5"> road they drove past it with</font> the figure<font color="#E5E5E5"> being only</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a few feet from</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the window staring at them the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> whole</font> time are you sure you still<font color="#E5E5E5"> want</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to go</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to that party my dad ass but my friends</font> were already<font color="#E5E5E5"> pulling into the driveway</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> gave my<font color="#E5E5E5"> family hugs and kisses goodbye</font> and they told me<font color="#CCCCCC"> to be careful</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> but I</font> felt fine<font color="#CCCCCC"> a common belief among native</font> people is that<font color="#CCCCCC"> negative energy attracts</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">negative energy</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> therefore an evil spirit</font> will be<font color="#E5E5E5"> drawn to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> people</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with unresolved</font> issues<font color="#E5E5E5"> traumas and sinners</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I suppose if</font> you're someone who<font color="#E5E5E5"> is spiritual</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> self</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">aware</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> basically a good person</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font> in and<font color="#E5E5E5"> of itself will be protective</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> get to the party<font color="#CCCCCC"> and within 20 minutes</font> the conversation shift towards all the paranormal experiences people<font color="#E5E5E5"> have been</font> having I'm really curious<font color="#E5E5E5"> about what</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">everyone has to say</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> because they have</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">stories that I hadn't heard yet</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but my</font> friend<font color="#E5E5E5"> us being 16</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and all couldn't hold</font> her alcohol<font color="#E5E5E5"> very well and was crying</font> about how she wishes she<font color="#E5E5E5"> was closer with</font> her brother<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> trying to make her</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">feel</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> better while listening to</font> everyone's stories<font color="#E5E5E5"> one of the people at</font> the party was related to<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">neighbourhood the woman who was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> calling</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> police</font> the experience really<font color="#E5E5E5"> shook him up and</font> my friend was just<font color="#E5E5E5"> explaining everything</font> that he was<font color="#E5E5E5"> doing later</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on for one he</font> smudged his entire home which<font color="#E5E5E5"> is</font> something<font color="#E5E5E5"> our people do when we're</font> looking<font color="#E5E5E5"> for extra</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> protection against</font> paranormal entities<font color="#E5E5E5"> he also went to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">visit multiple elders around</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> community<font color="#E5E5E5"> asking for advice</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and any</font> information<font color="#CCCCCC"> they had on</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> similar</font> happenings<font color="#E5E5E5"> what we do know about</font> paranormal<font color="#E5E5E5"> experiences on the res is</font> that they<font color="#E5E5E5"> don't happen as often as they</font> used<font color="#E5E5E5"> to if you talk to one</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of our outers</font> they have<font color="#E5E5E5"> endless stories and even more</font> advice to give about how to<font color="#E5E5E5"> protect</font> yourself compared to now<font color="#E5E5E5"> one of the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">explanations</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that was given to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this guy</font> about<font color="#E5E5E5"> the shadow thing was that it was</font> evidence<font color="#CCCCCC"> that someone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> do</font> an<font color="#CCCCCC"> unauthorized</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> shaking tent ceremony if</font> you don't know what that<font color="#CCCCCC"> is you can look</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">it up but it's basically and I'm</font> generalizing<font color="#E5E5E5"> like a Ouija</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> board session</font> that takes place inside<font color="#E5E5E5"> a tent of some</font> sort<font color="#E5E5E5"> people stand around the tent</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> while</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the shaman type dude goes inside and ask</font> questions<font color="#E5E5E5"> the tent begins to shake and</font> you can hear the voices<font color="#E5E5E5"> of spirits</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">coming through I've never personally</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">been to one because we haven't had a</font> good<font color="#CCCCCC"> enough reason to make one but but</font> typically<font color="#CCCCCC"> our ancestors use shaking</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">tents ceremonies when they were starving</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the dead</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of winter and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> needed some</font> direction<font color="#CCCCCC"> on where</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the nearest food</font> source was my mom's been to one and her story is<font color="#E5E5E5"> absolutely crazy</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">she described multiple voices of men and</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">women</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> only speaking the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> native tongue</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and they were upset</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that the people were</font> doing<font color="#E5E5E5"> a shaking tent ceremony when they</font> weren't on the verge of death<font color="#E5E5E5"> the people</font> there had to<font color="#E5E5E5"> explain that they were only</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">doing the ceremony to prove that it was</font> real as we had been losing<font color="#CCCCCC"> our culture</font> as a result of residential<font color="#E5E5E5"> schools but</font> the spirits were angry<font color="#CCCCCC"> about this saying</font> that<font color="#E5E5E5"> the bridge between the two</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> worlds</font> should never be open unless<font color="#E5E5E5"> absolutely</font> necessary<font color="#CCCCCC"> because</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> you don't know who</font> you're communicating with it could be evil spirits<font color="#E5E5E5"> and it could be good</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> once</font> it could be<font color="#E5E5E5"> ancestors but you never know</font> the elders told<font color="#E5E5E5"> him that this spirit</font> crossed over into<font color="#E5E5E5"> our</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> world because of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a</font> shaking<font color="#E5E5E5"> tent ceremony someone on</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font> reserve had been doing<font color="#CCCCCC"> them without</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">consultation of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the outers so we started</font> thinking<font color="#E5E5E5"> about who would do that without</font> proper<font color="#CCCCCC"> guidance and without good enough</font> reason to<font color="#CCCCCC"> do so then two</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of the drunkest</font> dudes at this point started saying<font color="#E5E5E5"> stuff</font> like<font color="#CCCCCC"> uh</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I'm not scared that thing could</font> show up now and<font color="#E5E5E5"> it couldn't do anything</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">basically egging it on all</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of us were</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">looking at each other like why would you</font> disrespect an evil spirit<font color="#E5E5E5"> that's exactly</font> how you attracted to<font color="#E5E5E5"> you and that's when</font> I decided to<font color="#CCCCCC"> leave</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Sun Room where</font> everyone<font color="#E5E5E5"> was hanging I went to the</font> living<font color="#CCCCCC"> room to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> console my drunk crying</font> friend when I noticed that<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> rocking</font> chair outside<font color="#CCCCCC"> on the porch was going</font> back<font color="#E5E5E5"> and forth</font> I looked immediately refusing to make direct<font color="#E5E5E5"> eye contact but I did look at it</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">from my peripheral</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> vision</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I'm inside the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> cottage</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and I keep seeing</font> this rocking chair going back and forth and back<font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> forth but another thing</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">we're raised to do in our culture is to</font> ignore paranormal experiences spirits feed on the energy<font color="#E5E5E5"> that people put</font> towards them so<font color="#E5E5E5"> if you</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> freak out</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> if you</font> get<font color="#E5E5E5"> angry if you yell at it or start</font> crying<font color="#E5E5E5"> that's exactly what it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> wants</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> it<font color="#E5E5E5"> will stick around once it gets a</font> reaction<font color="#CCCCCC"> it thrives on energy of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> any</font> kind so while I knew something messed up was happening<font color="#E5E5E5"> on the rocking chair I</font> wasn't about to<font color="#CCCCCC"> pay</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it any attention</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">five minutes or so goes by and I'm still</font> seeing it move in<font color="#E5E5E5"> the corner of my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> eye</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that's a my friend</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> screams and she runs</font> to the other<font color="#E5E5E5"> side of the sunroom my</font> other friend<font color="#E5E5E5"> Sprint's to where the girl</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">was sitting</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and busts through the French</font> doors<font color="#CCCCCC"> onto the balcony all of this</font> happens in<font color="#E5E5E5"> a split second but I</font> immediately go to the patio and<font color="#E5E5E5"> ask</font> what's<font color="#CCCCCC"> going on the girl is crying on</font> the couch with friends all around<font color="#E5E5E5"> her</font> she claims that she had seen the spirit <font color="#E5E5E5">which we later nicknamed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Coco ghee</font> Algonquin

color="#E5E5E5">explains why</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he suddenly</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> pushed me</font> inside<font color="#CCCCCC"> he said that it was standing</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> on</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the far end of the truck</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> super close to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">us</font> later<font color="#E5E5E5"> that nights when he dropped</font> everyone off they<font color="#E5E5E5"> realized that they</font> never locked the door<font color="#CCCCCC"> so</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he went back</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the college but his friend</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> whose cottage</font> it was was too scared to<font color="#E5E5E5"> go in and the</font> boy

color="#CCCCCC"> fall was just starting</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to let everyone know it was on its way</font> it was late<font color="#CCCCCC"> and dark</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> one night when my</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">fiancee and I were out for a ride on my</font> motorcycle<font color="#E5E5E5"> we loved riding around this</font> area<font color="#E5E5E5"> because there is a little</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> traffic</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the roads are</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just whiny enough to make</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">it fun</font><font

it's must</font> only take<font color="#CCCCCC"> 3 to 5 seconds to pass the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">whole property but this time something</font> very strange happened to<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> time</font> appeared to slow down<font color="#E5E5E5"> when something red</font> reflected<font color="#E5E5E5"> across the visor of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my helmet</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I turned my head to the left and this is</font> what I saw up in a tree just along the left<font color="#E5E5E5"> border</font> of the cemetery<font color="#E5E5E5"> that was a floating orb</font> of the<font color="#E5E5E5"> brightest red I've ever seen so</font> bright that<font color="#CCCCCC"> its center was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> white orb</font> isn't really the<font color="#CCCCCC"> right way</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> describe</font> it though because it wasn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> just a</font> sphere<font color="#E5E5E5"> of red light it looked like it</font> was boozing and dripping like it was made of<font color="#E5E5E5"> plasma the best way I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> can</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">describe it is that it looked like the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">tip of a signal flare when</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it's held off</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the ground</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it was that bright</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and it was</font> oozing like the tip of a flare but<font color="#CCCCCC"> it</font> was<font color="#E5E5E5"> not</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> shooting out from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> anywhere like</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">a flare does where a flare has a sort of</font> elongated<font color="#CCCCCC"> shape from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the spark shooting</font> out<font color="#CCCCCC"> at the end</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this was circular and</font> unlike a flare<font color="#E5E5E5"> there was no visible</font> physical<font color="#E5E5E5"> object from which this drippy</font> burning or emanated from<font color="#E5E5E5"> it just was it</font> was bright<font color="#CCCCCC"> and it was oozing</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and it was</font> dripping<font color="#CCCCCC"> and it was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> floating up in a</font> tree I really can't underscore not just how bright this thing was to me then I noticed the rest<font color="#E5E5E5"> moving around this red</font> orb was a set of hands<font color="#CCCCCC"> I didn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> notice</font> them at first because<font color="#E5E5E5"> of how bright the</font> orb<font color="#E5E5E5"> was and how dark the world was but</font> as my eyes began<font color="#CCCCCC"> to focus somewhat</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I</font> realized that there was something else <font color="#E5E5E5">in the tree with the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> orb</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and it looked</font> like<font color="#CCCCCC"> it was actually conjuring the orb</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the thing was humanoid-looking but it</font> didn't look human<font color="#E5E5E5"> at all it looked like</font> a<font color="#E5E5E5"> scrawny and lanky et phone home</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">sort of thing with nubby joints fingers</font> and features<font color="#E5E5E5"> but with scrawny limbs its</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">face was long narrow at the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> top and</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">bottom but wide in the middle it was</font> bumpy<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was a face unlike any human</font> face I've ever<font color="#E5E5E5"> seen before and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I've seen</font> a lot<font

great</font> the thing about<font color="#E5E5E5"> Edinboro PA is that it</font> gets<font color="#CCCCCC"> more</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> snow per year than</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> most of</font> Alaska<font color="#CCCCCC"> due to the lake effect snow</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">coming across</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Lake Erie what happens is</font> before the lake freezes completely<font color="#E5E5E5"> over</font> the water which is warmer than<font color="#E5E5E5"> the air</font> pushes the clouds<font color="#CCCCCC"> very high up into</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">atmosphere</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> too high for them</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to actually</font> snow due to the low temperature all the <font color="#CCCCCC">way up there the clouds then come inland</font> to fall back in toward<font color="#E5E5E5"> Earth it takes</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">them about 20 miles to do this</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Edinboro</font> is about 20 miles<font color="#E5E5E5"> from the lake you see</font> what I'm saying anyway on the first day of archery which is the first week of October in Pennsylvania there was a thin layer<font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font> snow<font color="#E5E5E5"> this is perfect for archery because</font> you can see the deer in the woods<font color="#CCCCCC"> much</font> more easily<font color="#E5E5E5"> and you can</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> also see if any</font> animals left any tracks<font color="#CCCCCC"> if they did they</font> were fresh since the<font color="#E5E5E5"> snow didn't happen</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">- long before that in our trees for</font> about<font color="#E5E5E5"> two hours or so neither of us had</font> seen anything<font color="#E5E5E5"> yet</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I had just gotten off</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> radio with Brandon whom was on the</font> other<font color="#E5E5E5"> side</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the property when I had</font> seen some movement<font color="#CCCCCC"> over to my right in</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> pine thicket</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I then seen a branch</font> move a little<font color="#E5E5E5"> bit and seen four deer</font> legs under I readied my bow in my<font color="#E5E5E5"> stance</font> so as to make a good<font color="#E5E5E5"> clean shot at the</font> deer<font color="#E5E5E5"> around 15 feet</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> up in a tree I did</font> this very carefully<font color="#E5E5E5"> about a minute later</font> as I was<font color="#E5E5E5"> looking for any movement</font> I lost the<font color="#E5E5E5"> four legs inside</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the thicket</font> this was<font color="#E5E5E5"> expected due to the fact that</font> where the<font color="#E5E5E5"> deer would have been is a</font> common feeding area for them so I waited <font color="#E5E5E5">maybe another minutes later I caught</font> movement<font color="#E5E5E5"> again it looked as if though</font> the deer<font color="#E5E5E5"> would break through the thicket</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">into more open woods</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the moment I've</font> been waiting for<font color="#CCCCCC"> as I brought the bow up</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">into a full draw stance</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I was stunned by</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">what I was seeing</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> where the deer should</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">have been there was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a man</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a strange</font> looking man at<font color="#E5E5E5"> that this absolutely</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">should</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> not have been</font> there was a man anywhere near<font color="#E5E5E5"> where that</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">deer had been the deer would have been</font> long gone spooked back into the thicket<font color="#CCCCCC"> I put my</font> bow back down onto<font color="#E5E5E5"> the hook I had</font> screwed into<font color="#E5E5E5"> the tree and lifted my</font> binoculars<font color="#E5E5E5"> to my eyes at only around</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> 35</font> yards away I could now see great detail <font color="#E5E5E5">of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> his physical</font><font color="#E5E5E5">

down the middle<font color="#E5E5E5"> of it just like the</font> pirate<font color="#E5E5E5"> shirts and that one</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> episode of</font> Seinfeld if any of you so indulge it was tucked into thick canvas brown pants <font color="#E5E5E5">with pants being tucked in the white</font> socks directly below<font color="#E5E5E5"> his knees further</font> down where<font color="#E5E5E5"> his shoes should be</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">absolutely nothing</font> he had no feet whatsoever no calves no shins no shoes with my eyes<font

through</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">woods going from right to left this is</font> when I started<font color="#E5E5E5"> noticing other extremely</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">strange things about him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I looked</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">through</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the binoculars</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> at his head it</font> was cocked back with his chin<font color="#CCCCCC"> resting</font> down<font color="#E5E5E5"> on his lower neck his very large</font> red bulbous nose up in the<font color="#CCCCCC"> air a bit in</font> a sort of snobby overall look<font color="#E5E5E5"> the hair</font> though the hair it was covered<font color="#E5E5E5"> by a wig</font> that<font color="#E5E5E5"> judges in England where a white wig</font> with three curls on the side<font color="#CCCCCC"> of it where</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">his ears would have been I noticed that</font> he didn't just<font color="#E5E5E5"> seem to float through the</font> woods<font color="#CCCCCC"> he was floating through the woods</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">his arms stayed stuck at his</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> side's</font>

maybe</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> 20 seconds or so</font> he came out of the<font color="#E5E5E5"> thicket behind a</font> medium-sized<font color="#E5E5E5"> oak tree then when he hit</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> next oak he never came out from</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">behind it I watched an absolute</font> astonishment<font color="#CCCCCC"> for another five minutes</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">waiting for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> him to break</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his cover so I</font> could see him<font color="#E5E5E5"> again</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> this</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> never happened</font> I told Brandon what had just happened was immediately<font color="#E5E5E5"> made fun of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I expected</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that was what would be coming through</font> the radio after<font color="#E5E5E5"> I got done talking he</font> was saying I should have<font color="#CCCCCC"> taken</font><font

though it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> middle of the hunt I had to get down</font> to see what<font color="#E5E5E5"> had just happened</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I knew</font> where<font color="#CCCCCC"> he would have</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> walked not only</font> would I see<font color="#E5E5E5"> footprints in the snow but</font> it would have<font color="#E5E5E5"> also been</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> very easy</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to see</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">even better tracks due to the fact that</font> the<font

up<font color="#E5E5E5"> towards the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">middle</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of his forehead and said are you</font> messing with<font color="#E5E5E5"> me brother</font><font

color="#E5E5E5"> he realized that I was 100%</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">serious he started taking inventory of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">all of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> things that I had

color="#E5E5E5"> back and forth</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we had failed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to notice</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that night time was already</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">upon</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> us</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it was that Stephen King old</font> dark no<font color="#E5E5E5"> stars kind of nights</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> too</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> due</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> the fact that we were looking<font color="#CCCCCC"> for signs</font> left behind from<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> ghost guy we were</font> in a patch<font color="#CCCCCC"> of woods</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that and we weren't</font> very familiar<font color="#CCCCCC"> with</font><font

color="#E5E5E5"> it's a</font> whole new<font color="#CCCCCC"> ballgame</font> still the patch of<font color="#E5E5E5"> woods we were in was</font> enclosed<font color="#E5E5E5"> by a triangle</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of roads all we</font> had to do was walk in a straight<font color="#CCCCCC"> line</font> and we<font color="#CCCCCC"> would come out</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> somewhere</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on one</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">of</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Rhodes then just walk that road back to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">my uncle's house</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so we started walking</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">walking in a straight</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> line in the woods</font> is<font color="#E5E5E5"> almost</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> impossible</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to do</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> without a</font> compass which I didn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> have so we were</font> both

loud scream as if<font color="#E5E5E5"> someone was being</font> murdered<font color="#E5E5E5"> now I know what every animal</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in</font> the woods<font color="#E5E5E5"> around here sounds</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> like both</font> normally or in panic mode<font color="#CCCCCC"> making death</font> cries<font color="#E5E5E5"> I see videos often on YouTube of</font> people<font color="#E5E5E5"> recording a sound in their</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">backyard that they think</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> is a person who</font> needs<font color="#E5E5E5"> help</font> only to<font color="#E5E5E5"> be a rabbit screaming from being</font> attacked<font color="#E5E5E5"> by some</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> predator</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> like a

color="#E5E5E5"> of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> minutes to see if</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the screaming would continue we started</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">walking again</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the direction</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we</font> thought we<font color="#CCCCCC"> should be going</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we didn't</font> talk<font color="#CCCCCC"> much about what we had just heard</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">probably</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> because of the anxiety we were</font> both<font color="#CCCCCC"> feeling we couldn't ignore</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for</font> long though<font color="#E5E5E5"> because we heard</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> another</font> long blood-curdling scream<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was closer</font> this time<font color="#E5E5E5"> and sounded different at first</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">we</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> thought it sounded like a woman being</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">attacked</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this new</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> scream sounded</font> threatening ironically we felt like we <font color="#E5E5E5">were the ones being stalked and hunted</font> at this point and still we pushed forward after walking about<font color="#E5E5E5"> another</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">hundred yards we came across something</font> very strange<font color="#E5E5E5"> directly in our path were</font> these weird<font color="#E5E5E5"> clear gelatinous masses on</font> top of the leaf litter now I am 32 which isn't an age that necessarily screams wisdom from experience<font color="#CCCCCC"> but I've</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> been in</font> the woods since as<font color="#CCCCCC"> far back as I can</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">remember</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my old man taught</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> me everything</font> there<font color="#CCCCCC"> is to know about the

was tree sap</font> this<font color="#CCCCCC"> is absolutely not</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> SAP I poked one</font> of the masses with a stick<font color="#CCCCCC"> to fearing</font> what they were

color="#CCCCCC"> all over</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the woods instead it was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">directly in front of us as we walked</font> almost<font color="#E5E5E5"> like someone or something knew</font> which route we<font color="#E5E5E5"> could try to take and</font> marked it<font color="#CCCCCC"> with</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> these globs another</font> scream<font color="#E5E5E5"> this time even closer and with a</font> little something added in this time not too far off away<font color="#CCCCCC"> from us we heard leaves</font> rustling in a couple of<font color="#E5E5E5"> twigs snapped</font> something was definitely<font color="#E5E5E5"> there</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it could</font> have<font color="#E5E5E5"> been a deer</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but this was unlikely</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">whatever it was wasn't spooked at all</font> not from<font color="#E5E5E5"> us or the threatening scream</font> it's easy to tell

not making as much noise</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">as</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> they normally</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> would this</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> scent our</font> anxiety level

couple</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of acres</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font> forest with houses<font color="#E5E5E5"> surrounded in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> distance<font color="#E5E5E5"> me and him would go and explore</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the forest all the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> time because it was</font> quite mystical<font color="#CCCCCC"> and just a

to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> rest of the forest</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> could see<font color="#CCCCCC"> a tall</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> whites

color="#E5E5E5"> between the trees</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I asked my friend</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> if he saw it and he</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">said yes he could as well and then we</font> stood silent and fear and I could feel impending doom<font color="#CCCCCC"> and I had shivers going</font> throughout my body<font color="#E5E5E5"> the best way I can</font> <font

the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> footsteps walking</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> up to my</font> left<font color="#CCCCCC"> one had looked over I noticed</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">something there

had</font> instantly remembered what had happened last night and shot up out of<font color="#CCCCCC"> bed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and to</font> the back<font color="#E5E5E5"> door to go outside and without</font> hesitation<font color="#CCCCCC"> I opened the door and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> stepped</font> outside<font color="#CCCCCC"> I walked towards the side of the</font> house

up</font> there<font color="#E5E5E5"> but I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> still told myself to go</font> check the bathroom<font color="#E5E5E5"> after seeing nothing</font> and not hearing<font

upstairs</font> there was a hallway<font color="#E5E5E5"> where if he went</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">right</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> at led to a game room and the</font> guest room in the bathroom<font color="#CCCCCC"> and if he</font> went<font color="#E5E5E5"> left it led to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> our bedrooms</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">oftentimes at nights usually right after</font> dusk<font color="#E5E5E5"> the lights in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that hallway</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> would</font> turn off by themselves<font color="#CCCCCC"> I remember</font> hanging<font color="#E5E5E5"> out in the game room</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> often and I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">recall the hallway lights turning off</font> upon investigating the actual<font

color="#E5E5E5"> to this day I sometimes have</font> nightmares<font color="#E5E5E5"> of that hallway</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> lights</font> going out leaving<font

night<font color="#CCCCCC"> the cat's</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> also refused to go near</font> it in fact they refused<font color="#E5E5E5"> to go near the</font> guest room<font color="#CCCCCC"> altogether in one instance a</font> friend forcibly carried one<font color="#CCCCCC"> of our cats</font> into<font color="#E5E5E5"> the guest room and she was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">absolutely

often</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">black widows hiding in there as well and</font> the black widows acted a bit strangely<font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> remember my mom spraying about<font

of black widows since</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> never seen any act like that they</font> are normally shy and non aggressive<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> exterminators weren't sure why

guest</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">room sometimes when I was home alone at</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">night I would hear downstairs someone</font> going<font color="#E5E5E5"> through</font><font

at an age</font> where I didn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> want to share the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">bathroom</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with my sister anymore</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">home alone</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> always had a habit of</font> locking<font color="#E5E5E5"> doors so I had locked it I was</font> in<font color="#CCCCCC"> the middle of wiping when the door</font> handle<font color="#E5E5E5"> to the bathroom started</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> violently</font> jiggling like someone was<font

color="#E5E5E5"> something</font> unnatural<font color="#E5E5E5"> and frightening about the way</font> the door handle jiggles<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was frozen in</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">fear

color="#CCCCCC"> to open</font> the door nothing<font color="#E5E5E5"> out of the ordinary</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> immediately<font color="#E5E5E5"> called my parents who called</font>

all the doors and windows</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">were locked and the alarm</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on so they</font> said it was impossible for<font color="#E5E5E5"> an intruder</font> to

color="#E5E5E5"> sinister it</font> scared me quite a<font color="#CCCCCC"> bit</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and I hung up the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">phone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ran</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> out of there there were</font> several instances<font color="#E5E5E5"> where our cats would</font> get startled all of a sudden and start <font color="#E5E5E5">staring at something their eyes would</font> follow<font color="#E5E5E5"> whatever it was as it slowly</font> moved<font color="#CCCCCC"> I would try to see what they were</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">looking at but there was nothing both</font> cats would stare<font color="#CCCCCC"> at the unseen objects</font> or entity and follow it<font color="#CCCCCC"> exactly</font> identically<font color="#E5E5E5"> with their eyes as if they</font> saw it simultaneously<font color="#E5E5E5"> this happened at</font> least once<font color="#CCCCCC"> or twice a week</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I had a lot</font> of<font color="#CCCCCC"> odd nightmares in that house</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so did</font> my sister<font color="#CCCCCC"> this post is getting too long</font> so I won't go<font color="#E5E5E5"> into it there were also</font> some other<font color="#E5E5E5"> odd and frightening</font> experiences<font color="#E5E5E5"> but I think those could</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> be</font> chalked up to<font color="#E5E5E5"> more</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> mundane explanations</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">such as a time where I swear I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> heard</font> someone whispering in my<font color="#E5E5E5"> room in the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">middle of the night</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> but it's possible</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">was the fan rustling something and my</font> imagination distorted the experience another experience<font color="#E5E5E5"> I could share</font> but I was so<font color="#E5E5E5"> young</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that I'm unsure if it</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">actually happened or if it was a</font> nightmare<font color="#CCCCCC"> I recall</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it as it was a true</font> memory<font color="#E5E5E5"> though it was in the middle of a</font> bad storm in the<font color="#E5E5E5"> afternoon my mom was</font> taking<font color="#E5E5E5"> a nap the front door lock</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">unmatched itself in the front door</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">creeped open nobody there</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">so I shut it a few minutes later in the</font> doorbell<font color="#E5E5E5"> rings</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I look out the peephole</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and it looks like</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> three to four figures</font> that had hoods on and no faces or at least in the shadow where I couldn't see <font color="#E5E5E5">like the Grim Reaper no sight</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> so they</font> just stood<font color="#E5E5E5"> there</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> completely still they</font> had a<font color="#E5E5E5"> menacing presence</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I screamed and</font> my mom came<font color="#CCCCCC"> and looked out and nothing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> there</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> again</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> not sure if I dream</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this</font> sort it was an actual memory I<font color="#CCCCCC"> dunno something like</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that must have</font> happened<font color="#E5E5E5"> because I distinctly remember</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the neighborhood</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> watch increasing his</font> patrol of our street after my mom told them some creepy people<font color="#E5E5E5"> came to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> our door</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">more than likely this was nothing</font> paranormal<font color="#CCCCCC"> and just my young overactive</font> imagination and the decay<font color="#CCCCCC"> of young</font> childhood memories<font color="#E5E5E5"> over the decades</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> must have been<font color="#CCCCCC"> 6 or 7 at the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> time those</font> other experiences<font color="#CCCCCC"> happened when I was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">well into</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my early teenage years so I</font> clearly<font color="#CCCCCC"> recall them the house was a new</font> construction<font color="#CCCCCC"> home</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> built in what was</font> years before just an<font color="#E5E5E5"> empty field</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> so I'm</font> not sure<font color="#CCCCCC"> how anything paranormal would</font> have originated<font color="#E5E5E5"> does anyone have any</font> ideas as soon<font color="#E5E5E5"> as we moved out of that</font> house there were zero paranormal experiences<font color="#CCCCCC"> I stopped having nightmares</font> except for once in<font color="#E5E5E5"> a while and when I</font> did it was<font color="#E5E5E5"> of the old house the cats</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">also seemed more relaxed and I never saw</font> them<font color="#E5E5E5"> staring at something unseen in the</font> new house I always<font color="#CCCCCC"> tried</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to rule out</font> mundane and only<font color="#E5E5E5"> will consider of</font> something as paranormal<font color="#CCCCCC"> that fits a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">certain pattern</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of unexplained phenomena</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">these experiences were reported by</font> multiple people<font color="#CCCCCC"> and our cats</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> also</font> reacted strangely<font color="#CCCCCC"> I have never</font> experienced<font color="#CCCCCC"> anything paranormal since</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">moving out of this house some</font> experiences since moving<font color="#E5E5E5"> out were</font> possibly<font color="#CCCCCC"> paranormal but more than likely</font> had a mundane<font color="#CCCCCC"> explanation and were</font> isolated incidences that<font color="#E5E5E5"> didn't fit</font> within a pattern<font color="#E5E5E5"> of unexplained</font> phenomena my parents said that they never experienced anything paranormal in that house<font color="#E5E5E5"> I'm at a loss</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to explain how or</font> why any of this happened<font color="#CCCCCC"> sometimes I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wonder if I should stop by my old house</font> and talk to the current occupants to see if they experienced anything<font color="#E5E5E5"> odd</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">course I have no idea how to go about</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">this without seeming like an insane</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">person</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and possibly</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> having the cops</font> called on me I have probably<font color="#E5E5E5"> heard this</font> story a million times<font color="#E5E5E5"> and probably told</font> it in equal measure<font color="#E5E5E5"> it's a story about</font> me but it's not my story it's my<font color="#E5E5E5"> aunts story</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I myself have vague</font> memories<font color="#CCCCCC"> of this happening I would have</font> been about<font color="#CCCCCC"> six at the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> time</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> remember a</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">dream</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I remember having</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> an</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> imaginary</font> friend called sunny but that's about it my<font color="#CCCCCC"> aunt Samara who wasn't my aunt by</font> blood<font color="#E5E5E5"> she was married to my uncle John</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">who was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my father's older brother</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> every</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">Sunday she would go</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to the graveyard and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">put fresh flowers</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> so on</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> graves and clean</font> him up one Sunday she decided<font color="#E5E5E5"> to bring</font> me<font color="#CCCCCC"> along with</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> her to help her out as she</font> was cleaning<font color="#E5E5E5"> the grave I turned to her</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and asked if sunny was buried here these</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">are her words by the way she said she</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">dropped</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> whatever was in her hand from</font> the shock of<font color="#E5E5E5"> it she asked who Sonny was</font> and I<font color="#E5E5E5"> told her it was my friend who had</font> dreamed about<font color="#E5E5E5"> she asked me what he looks</font> like I told her it's a boy<font color="#E5E5E5"> in a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> gray</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> suit who</font> carries a brown book with him and she asked me<font color="#CCCCCC"> about</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the dreams I told her I</font> was here in<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> graveyard and someone</font> was being<font color="#CCCCCC"> buried the boy in the gray</font> suit was standing next to me holding his book <font color="#CCCCCC">I said I turned and asked him who was</font> getting<font color="#CCCCCC"> buried he turned to me and said</font> that he<font color="#CCCCCC"> was being buried</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and that his</font> name<font color="#CCCCCC"> was Sonny</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> then I woke up I turns</font> out that Sonny was my grandfather's older brother who had died when<font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">12 in a swimming accident when they were</font> on holiday in a place called<font color="#E5E5E5"> kill</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ki</font> kill he is<font color="#CCCCCC"> a seaside town in Ireland</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">beautiful place now the thing about</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font> was Sonny was never talked about nobody would have ever<font color="#E5E5E5"> met him because</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font> grandfather was<font color="#E5E5E5"> still very young himself</font> when<font color="#E5E5E5"> it happened</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it wasn't a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> shameful</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">secret to her anything it was just one</font> of<font color="#CCCCCC"> those things</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> obviously</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he would have</font> been<font color="#E5E5E5"> mentioned but long</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> before I was</font> ever born<font color="#E5E5E5"> the strangest part of this</font> whole story<font color="#CCCCCC"> was the fact that the gray</font> suit and the brown book was<font color="#E5E5E5"> exactly what</font> he was buried with hey friends thanks <font color="#CCCCCC">for listening</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be sure</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to subscribe
