[00:00:11] Welcome to Tell Me A Ghost Story, the late night call-in podcast where we delve into the world of the supernatural and explore the eerie and unexplained.

[00:00:23] I'm your host, Michelle Newman.

[00:00:26] This podcast features true stories from our callers that will send shivers down your spine and leave you questioning the existence of the afterlife.

[00:00:38] So grab a cozy blanket, turn down the lights.

[00:00:45] My name is Carlo. First time caller, long time listener in Los Angeles.

[00:00:56] And my ghost story is kind of like, it's almost like a misconnection ghost story.

[00:01:03] Or, anyway, I'll just explain.

[00:01:07] So, I had just moved to Los Angeles. I was in my early 20s, kind of fresh out of college.

[00:01:13] And I was living in downtown in the arts district in a big loft.

[00:01:20] Like, imagine like the loft in the movie Big.

[00:01:24] Like, it's kind of, it was like that.

[00:01:26] We're just like open floor plan, really spacious.

[00:01:29] You know, just me and two other guys who are also in their early 20s.

[00:01:34] And it was, yeah, it was a dream, really dreamy place to live.

[00:01:42] And I was there late one night by myself.

[00:01:45] And I was, I was drawing or working on something.

[00:01:52] And it was like late at night.

[00:01:57] And all of a sudden, on the other side of the loft, I was sitting at the kitchen table.

[00:02:02] And then from the other side of the loft, I hear a, and I was like, yes?

[00:02:13] Like, who's, hello?

[00:02:16] Because it was like, I could, it wasn't like in my head.

[00:02:20] Like, it was in the, it was in the room.

[00:02:22] Like, very clearly in the room.

[00:02:25] And I walked to the other side and like looked around the corner.

[00:02:28] And yeah, there was like definitely no one there.

[00:02:31] And it was just like, it was just really strange.

[00:02:34] Cause I'm not like, I don't hallucinate.

[00:02:36] Like I don't, I'm yeah.

[00:02:39] It's just like not hearing voices is not part of my history.

[00:02:45] The next day I'm in like the courtyard and my upstairs neighbors,

[00:02:50] they've been living in the lofts for a long time.

[00:02:53] And they actually used to live in my loft.

[00:02:55] Now they live on the top floor.

[00:02:57] But back when they were, you know, 10 years ago or whatever, 15 years ago,

[00:03:01] they lived in, in the loft I was living in.

[00:03:03] And I was like, Hey guys, just like real quick, kind of random.

[00:03:10] But like, is, is the loft haunted?

[00:03:15] Cause like I heard, I heard someone say my name last night and it was just kind of like,

[00:03:19] it was really strange.

[00:03:20] And they just like, they're a, they're a husband and wife.

[00:03:24] And they just like look at each other.

[00:03:26] And then they look at me and they go, Daisy.

[00:03:30] And I was like, Daisy.

[00:03:32] And they're like, yeah, Daisy.

[00:03:35] And they explained that like when they were like in art school,

[00:03:38] like then they're living in the loft.

[00:03:40] They had this like friend named Daisy who apparently just like cherished the loft.

[00:03:46] And it wasn't like, it was a really special place.

[00:03:49] So I get it.

[00:03:51] And they're like, she loved it.

[00:03:53] And then somehow I don't, I don't remember like what the terminal illness was,

[00:03:57] but she came down with like, like some disease that she ended up dying.

[00:04:02] And it was very like, you know, a young, tragic, sad thing.

[00:04:07] But they're like, she just never left.

[00:04:10] She was just always with us in the loft.

[00:04:11] And they're like, you know, sometimes still to this day,

[00:04:15] like if we like feel like we're stuck or like need some advice,

[00:04:19] like, well, I just call out to Daisy and you know,

[00:04:24] like the lights will flicker or like, you know,

[00:04:27] she'll like find a way to like interact.

[00:04:30] And I was like, that's pretty wild.

[00:04:33] And I think I probably lived there for like another year,

[00:04:37] two years after that.

[00:04:38] And Daisy called my name probably about three more times.

[00:04:44] And, but she would hang out with me a lot in,

[00:04:47] when I was taking a shower and like, I would be like in the shower.

[00:04:53] It was like a big bathtub shower with like a circular curtain around it.

[00:04:57] And I could see her out of the corner of my eye,

[00:05:01] like standing in the corner of the room.

[00:05:03] And like, when I would like turn to look at her,

[00:05:06] it would be like in a movie where there's like a crossfade where like,

[00:05:09] we dissolve into the next scene.

[00:05:10] And she would just like disappear as I would turn.

[00:05:13] And I don't, so I just started talking to her.

[00:05:15] I'd be like, Daisy, like you can hang out with me.

[00:05:17] Like, I don't mind.

[00:05:18] I don't mind you being here with me.

[00:05:19] Like it's, it's fine.

[00:05:24] And when I even started asking her for advice, like,

[00:05:27] I remember this one night, like I was really broke at the time.

[00:05:30] And I finally got like a check in the mail and it was like late at night.

[00:05:35] And I was probably like overdrawn.

[00:05:37] And my bank was like right on the edge of skid row.

[00:05:41] And this was, yeah, I mean, it's skid row.

[00:05:44] It's not, not ideal, especially like late at night.

[00:05:46] And I was really like on the verge of like,

[00:05:51] I should just go deposit this check.

[00:05:53] So like, I can just get the process started of like,

[00:05:55] not being overdrawn.

[00:05:57] But then like on my way out, like, I just felt Daisy be like, no, don't go.

[00:06:05] And I was like, Daisy.

[00:06:06] And I could just like feel Daisy holding me back and being like,

[00:06:10] don't, don't, don't go do this right now.

[00:06:12] It's like one in the morning.

[00:06:13] Like, don't, don't go deposit a check in skid row at one in the morning.

[00:06:18] There's better things to do with your time.

[00:06:22] And when I left the loft, I like remember like when it was empty,

[00:06:27] just being like, all right, Daisy, I'm going to miss you.

[00:06:30] Thank you for like your company while I was here.

[00:06:33] Like you're a good ghost.

[00:06:34] Just yeah.

[00:06:36] And that was my story with Daisy.

[00:06:38] Yeah.

[00:06:39] Daisy's a sweetheart.

[00:06:42] Thank you, Carlo.

[00:06:44] Daisy sounds like a great roommate.

[00:06:46] If you get locked out, she can use her spare spooky to get you back in.

[00:06:52] But the trick is getting her to split the rent because no body can afford it.

[00:06:58] Get it?

[00:07:00] No body.

[00:07:02] Cause she's a ghost.

[00:07:05] Next message.

[00:07:07] Hi, my name is Heather.

[00:07:09] I'm calling from Mesa, Arizona.

[00:07:12] I have experienced a good ghost story.

[00:07:18] A couple of years ago, I did stay at the Grand Hotel in Jerome, Arizona, which is very haunted.

[00:07:28] I was in my room.

[00:07:29] It was nighttime.

[00:07:31] We were asleep.

[00:07:32] And I hear someone tell me, can you turn the TV off?

[00:07:37] I look over.

[00:07:38] My friend is asleep.

[00:07:40] The TV is off.

[00:07:42] I just ignored it and went back to sleep.

[00:07:44] A few minutes later, I felt someone tap on my shoulder.

[00:07:46] Can you turn the TV down?

[00:07:50] In a whisper, looked over.

[00:07:53] The TV still wasn't on.

[00:07:57] A few minutes later, I go back to sleep.

[00:08:00] Wake up.

[00:08:02] See the hotel door, bedroom door shut.

[00:08:08] That was it.

[00:08:10] It did ask me several times.

[00:08:13] I turned on my TV.

[00:08:14] Mind you, this wasn't a remote control TV.

[00:08:17] This wasn't a TV.

[00:08:18] I had to get up and turn up and down.

[00:08:22] So, yeah.

[00:08:24] That's my scary ghost story.

[00:08:26] Thank you.

[00:08:29] Thank you, Heather, for calling in.

[00:08:31] That ghost probably went to complain to the manager about all the noise.

[00:08:36] But how do you explain to a ghost they are the noise?

[00:08:41] Next message.

[00:08:43] Hi, this is Greg from Echo Park.

[00:08:48] I have a ghost story.

[00:08:51] My house growing up, we moved into it when I was five.

[00:08:56] And my parents let all of us know, my two brothers and I know that there was a murder-suicide in the house before we moved in there.

[00:09:06] And the husband blew his brains out with a shotgun in the yard.

[00:09:12] And the wife was dead in the house.

[00:09:16] Anyway, they let us know that and told us that this particular bedroom was haunted.

[00:09:22] And they would lock us in that room if we were in trouble.

[00:09:27] And my little brother is the one who saw this ghost the most, but I also saw it.

[00:09:33] And everyone called it the lady in white.

[00:09:35] And the whole family had different times where they saw the lady in white.

[00:09:41] One time when I was maybe eight or nine, I was alone in the room that we were all sleeping in.

[00:09:48] My brothers and I slept in the same room until I was like 10.

[00:09:52] And I was in there.

[00:09:54] It was during the day.

[00:09:55] Everyone was outside in the back.

[00:09:56] And there was this bathroom that went through two rooms.

[00:10:00] So it was like room, bathroom, and then another room.

[00:10:03] And it opened both rooms.

[00:10:04] And the doors were open.

[00:10:05] And I looked and there was the lady in white just standing there in this white dress just looking at me.

[00:10:09] And I was terrified.

[00:10:11] And I was sitting on the bed and I put the sheet over my head.

[00:10:14] But it was, you know, very bright.

[00:10:15] It was daytime.

[00:10:16] I could see through the sheet.

[00:10:17] I could see her staring at me.

[00:10:18] And I just stared at her and she just stared at me.

[00:10:21] And this happened for, I don't even know how long.

[00:10:25] It could have been a half hour, an hour.

[00:10:27] And then I just closed my eyes and stayed under the sheet.

[00:10:30] And then I eventually fell asleep.

[00:10:32] And when I woke up, it was still daytime.

[00:10:34] And she was gone.

[00:10:36] And that was my encounter with the lady in white.

[00:10:41] Thank you, Greg, for sharing that story.

[00:10:43] You know what's fascinating is that countries all over the world have versions of the legend of the woman in white.

[00:10:50] She's typically dressed in a white dress or something similar.

[00:10:55] She's reportedly seen in rural areas associated with local tragedy.

[00:11:00] And common to many of these legends is an accidental death, suicide or murder, the theme of loss, and betrayal by a husband, fiance, or unrequited love.

[00:11:10] I'm Michelle Liz Yvonne.

[00:11:13] I'm from the Philippines.

[00:11:15] And I'm here to share with you one of the scariest experiences I've ever had in my life.

[00:11:24] And I've had a few scary stories that I can't tell you about, but this one just takes the cake.

[00:11:33] So it was possibly around 2002 to 2004.

[00:11:38] I went right next door to my auntie to use her computer because I didn't have one.

[00:11:44] And so I was in the living room slash dining room.

[00:11:49] And I like keeping all the lights turned off.

[00:11:53] So every light was turned off.

[00:11:56] It was in the afternoons with perfect light just coming in through the windows.

[00:12:02] And while I was browsing the internet, I just felt something weird.

[00:12:08] You see, I am not a stranger to the paranormal.

[00:12:13] I've experienced it since I was a kid.

[00:12:16] And it only stopped when I went to college.

[00:12:21] But I've been so used to it that it really didn't bother me.

[00:12:28] So when I felt something as if it was looking at the back of my head, like thinking possibly it wanted me out of there, I just felt so uncomfortable.

[00:12:44] And that's not normal because I feel and see things or at least I used to when I was living there with my parents.

[00:12:56] And when I felt that, it just felt so unusual because I never would feel uncomfortable or unwanted whenever that happens.

[00:13:08] So I just turned off the computer, packed up my stuff and then tried to exit to go upstairs.

[00:13:17] My mom's house and my auntie's house, her sister, has a balcony that's connected.

[00:13:22] So I can just walk off, walk out the door upstairs and then I can get into my house, which is our house, second floor.

[00:13:33] So I was making my house, second floor.

[00:13:35] So I was making my way up the stairs and at the time or by the time I reached the top of the stairs, I had this feeling to look back down the stairs.

[00:13:47] I wish that I didn't have to, or I wish that I didn't at all.

[00:13:54] But I did and I saw a black figure.

[00:13:59] It was weird because like I said, I could see the light coming in from outside the home.

[00:14:08] But I could clearly see a silhouette of something shaped like a human.

[00:14:18] And I think by the time it saw that I saw it, it started bolting up the stairs, which caused me to run down the hallway out the door right next to the master's bedroom.

[00:14:31] And I slammed the door behind me.

[00:14:34] My aunt at that time was freaked out.

[00:14:38] She said, why you have to slam a door? Why do you have to run? What's happening?

[00:14:44] And then I was like, screaming at her.

[00:14:47] Something was following me.

[00:14:49] Something ran from the bottom of the stairs to top the stairs and just started running after me.

[00:14:55] And even before I had the chance to slam the door, I could see the shadow.

[00:15:00] Like just rushing, running towards me.

[00:15:05] And the reason why I know that it's true, aside from that I've seen a lot in my childhood and being a teen is that the next day, from when it happened, I talked to my auntie and she confirmed that she saw what I saw.

[00:15:29] Only with the precaution not to acknowledge it the next time.

[00:15:33] Because apparently, when I acknowledged it at the time, it actually stayed standing right next to her as she slept.

[00:15:43] And she couldn't sleep because it wouldn't go away.

[00:15:48] So that's my story.

[00:15:51] See you around, Michelle.

[00:15:53] Thank you, Yvonne, for calling in.

[00:15:55] I admire your aunt's practicality in these matters.

[00:15:59] A good night's sleep is paramount.

[00:16:01] I, on the other hand, may never sleep again.

[00:16:10] Next message.

[00:16:12] Hi, my name is Hector and I'm from New Mexico.

[00:16:16] And this is more of a personal experience that I've had which started happening in 2013.

[00:16:26] It wasn't necessarily seeing any ghosts or apparitions, but more of being physically touched or scratched or attacked.

[00:16:36] However you want to interpret that.

[00:16:38] The first time this happened to me was in 2013.

[00:16:42] I went to my local gym.

[00:16:46] I came home, got ready for the day.

[00:16:49] And as I was getting ready, I noticed I had three long scratches on the back of my forearm.

[00:16:55] I don't know how those scratches appeared or where they came from.

[00:17:00] So I took a picture of it only because it was just one of those situations that's kind of hard to believe that something like that happens.

[00:17:09] I wasn't necessarily scared, but definitely questioned a lot of things that go on.

[00:17:18] And then as far as me trying to debunk it, I just wasn't able to.

[00:17:24] And so this went on over the course of the next 10 years.

[00:17:29] There would be times where I would just be doing normal everyday things and I would get scratched.

[00:17:39] Sometimes it was two scratches.

[00:17:42] Sometimes it was three scratches.

[00:17:44] So the most intense experience I've had with that was one night and I had a nightmare of something just kind of evil, menacing figure.

[00:18:00] They were short, maybe the height of a young adult, maybe.

[00:18:06] And they had this menacing look on their face and they were kind of laughing.

[00:18:11] And then they had approached me and then they just kind of sped off in the other direction, like at the speed of light.

[00:18:18] It was pretty insane.

[00:18:20] Well, I woke up and it was 3.33 in the morning.

[00:18:25] So the following night, I'm sleeping sound asleep.

[00:18:32] And I hear this loud bang, like just a solid bang, loud enough to wake me up.

[00:18:41] Now my bedroom door at the time, I always kept it shut.

[00:18:46] And it was just a janky door that you had to kind of forcefully push to close it and kind of pull to open.

[00:18:53] Well, when I heard this loud bang, I woke up.

[00:18:57] I checked the time. It was 3.33 in the morning.

[00:19:02] And once I got my senses about me, I looked over and sure enough, my door was open.

[00:19:09] It wasn't open all the way, but it was open to where I knew that I didn't get up and open the door.

[00:19:18] And so when I got out of bed, I just felt a really bad sensation.

[00:19:26] I had the chills up and down my body.

[00:19:29] All my senses were heightened.

[00:19:31] Just something felt like it was there for a brief moment that shouldn't be there.

[00:19:36] And after those few moments, the air was a little lighter.

[00:19:42] I felt okay after that, but that was probably the most intense experience that I had with that.

[00:19:49] Now, what do these scratches mean? I have no idea.

[00:19:54] They do happen in threes a lot more than anything.

[00:20:00] Sometimes it's a single scratch.

[00:20:02] I'm at a point now where I'm kind of just used to it.

[00:20:05] Doesn't really bother me because I don't let things like that bother me.

[00:20:09] And again, you know, just open to one's own personal beliefs.

[00:20:14] You know, I don't believe that anyone's particular belief is right or wrong.

[00:20:20] Definitely.

[00:20:21] I do keep an open mind about it, but just wanted to share that story.

[00:20:27] Thanks.

[00:20:29] Thanks, Hector, for your story.

[00:20:33] 333 AM, known to many as the witching hour,

[00:20:37] is thought to be a time when the veil separating our dimension from the next is at its thinnest.

[00:20:45] It sounds like you might have accidentally caught a glimpse of your scratcher.

[00:20:51] Next message.

[00:20:53] Hi, my name is Deborah from Seattle.

[00:20:56] I wanted to tell you about the seance that was at Fort Wright College back in the early 70s.

[00:21:04] There were eight people.

[00:21:07] At nine o'clock, one more arrived making nine.

[00:21:10] The reasons they decided to do a seance were kind of confused.

[00:21:15] Everybody was grieving a death of somebody that had happened in Vietnam.

[00:21:23] And it was a college student.

[00:21:25] And it was just something that kind of spurred people's interest in what was going on after life and all that sort of thing.

[00:21:32] One of these things that happened that we didn't know was happening at the time.

[00:21:39] The fact that there had been a mass in the theater where we were.

[00:21:45] We were in a theater.

[00:21:46] For some reason, they hadn't used the chapel for the mass.

[00:21:49] This is a Catholic college with a lot of nuns.

[00:21:54] And the tablecloth used in the mass was also used in the seance.

[00:21:59] And you begin the seance and then you're low lights, everything's very quiet.

[00:22:07] And suddenly, one of the people, and I think her name was Dawn, I don't remember, one of the girls,

[00:22:14] starts sort of trancing out, talking to somebody that's not there.

[00:22:20] And she's talking to a couple of little children.

[00:22:23] And they say, she said, I don't know.

[00:22:27] I don't know what to do about this.

[00:22:30] I don't know what to do about this.

[00:22:32] To the children.

[00:22:34] And they were, apparently, they were dead.

[00:22:38] They were ghosts.

[00:22:39] And she saw them.

[00:22:41] And she said that somebody had taken their bodies and thrown them away.

[00:22:47] And they were looking for their bodies.

[00:22:49] And then, after talking with them a little bit and starting to cry, she's starting to cry.

[00:22:55] And apparently the children were crying too.

[00:22:58] And she started to cry.

[00:22:59] And all of a sudden, they went away.

[00:23:03] And she said, they're gone.

[00:23:05] And suddenly the room was very heavy.

[00:23:10] And where we were in the theater, we were up on the stage using this table that had been used during the mass.

[00:23:17] And we were sitting in a circle.

[00:23:21] And the person who was sitting with her back to the audience suddenly turned around as if she'd heard something in the lobby.

[00:23:29] And we all wondered if somebody had wandered in or something like that.

[00:23:34] But it was still a very heavy atmosphere.

[00:23:38] And suddenly we became very quiet and tried to listen to what was going on.

[00:23:42] Because we knew the door was locked in the lobby this time.

[00:23:46] No one could have come in.

[00:23:49] And all of a sudden, we started hearing these kind of strange footsteps.

[00:23:53] They weren't actually like somebody bustling about in the lobby.

[00:24:00] It was like very deliberate, clicking sound footsteps as if somebody had boots of some kind.

[00:24:09] Old style boots on a hard floor.

[00:24:14] That's very strange because most of the lobby, a lot of the lobby, if you came in through the theater, through the audience from the lobby, a great deal of that's carpeted.

[00:24:24] That's not hard floor.

[00:24:26] It's just that we heard click, click, click, like about that pace.

[00:24:35] And the sound didn't stay out there.

[00:24:38] It kind of got up close to us.

[00:24:40] And at first it was like on stage right.

[00:24:43] And then it was on stage left.

[00:24:45] And we all kind of turned our attention toward it.

[00:24:48] I don't think it was imaginary.

[00:24:52] I think that, you know, everybody kind of turned in unison when they heard it.

[00:24:59] And then it suddenly kind of as if it, you know, like walked out through the back of the theater or something like that, you know, like straight back.

[00:25:10] And so we don't really know what that was, except that, you know, when it stopped making that noise, you know, the feeling kind of lifted.

[00:25:24] Thank you, Deborah.

[00:25:26] Leave it to the theater kids to summon the devil.

[00:25:30] Hi, this is Nellie again from Clinton, Illinois.

[00:25:34] I was 12 years old.

[00:25:37] I remember I was sleeping on my back and I just wake up and I looked straight ahead and I see this little girl.

[00:25:58] I know it sounds, it's crazy, but I see this little girl sitting on the bed.

[00:26:06] And the way she looked was she had black hair.

[00:26:14] Like I can see her clearly.

[00:26:15] She had black hair.

[00:26:16] I can see her brown eyes.

[00:26:18] She looked like she was sitting on the bed and she was smiling at me.

[00:26:27] And all of a sudden while I'm looking at her, she makes these, these gestures that, oh, I'm falling.

[00:26:35] And she was like waving her arms like she was falling.

[00:26:40] And then she leaned back and I don't see her anymore.

[00:26:47] I was not sure if it was because I was half asleep.

[00:26:54] Um, I'm not sure what it was.

[00:26:57] And I just went back to bed.

[00:27:02] Until, till this day, I still think about that.

[00:27:08] Another occurrence was when I was in the bathroom.

[00:27:17] I was, um, it was at nighttime getting ready for bed.

[00:27:22] And I remember I was brushing my teeth, you know, just brushing my teeth, brushing my hair.

[00:27:28] And I'm looking in the mirror.

[00:27:32] And in the mirror I can see, you know, the shower curtain, bathtub, all that.

[00:27:40] And I remember I was like brushing my hair.

[00:27:44] And then I look up and I just see someone like, you know, when they're, someone just peeking through the, you know, the shower curtain.

[00:27:55] Like, I just see the black hair and like, I'm not sure if it was a man or woman, but I just see someone looking at me peeking.

[00:28:04] So I just look up and I'm just looking at it in the mirror.

[00:28:10] And I just stay frozen.

[00:28:12] Um, and then like I closed, I just blinked and it went away.

[00:28:27] Thank you, Nellie, for calling in again with another story.

[00:28:33] Next message.

[00:28:35] This is Dave in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

[00:28:37] But I grew up in Connecticut where I grew up in a house that was just not right.

[00:28:43] And, um, well, my earliest memory is actually having spinal meningitis and dying in the hospital and seeing a woman standing over me and then waking up.

[00:28:52] I was about a year old.

[00:28:53] And then when I was a child, I had significantly older siblings, but a sibling my own age.

[00:29:01] Um, and, uh, the younger two would have a babysitter and the older ones would be out doing teenager things.

[00:29:05] And it was never them babysitting us.

[00:29:06] And it was always the two of us.

[00:29:08] But I remember three times having a babysitter without her distinctly.

[00:29:12] I remember this was supposedly the younger sister of another babysitter, which call CG.

[00:29:17] And, um, anyway, this woman, young woman.

[00:29:22] Um, anyway, let's just say I needed counseling because of a couple experiences with this individual.

[00:29:28] So, 30 years later, I'm trying to piece together my childhood and make sense of this nightmare.

[00:29:33] And I call my siblings and my three older siblings who went to school with CG said, CG didn't have a little sister.

[00:29:39] And then my sibling my own age, um, call her, uh, KL.

[00:29:43] She's like, um, David, we never had a babysitter alone.

[00:29:47] You were always with me.

[00:29:48] Whoever this was, I'm not telling you it didn't happen.

[00:29:51] It just didn't happen the way you remember.

[00:29:56] So, fast forward, I, I, um, never slept in the dark till I got married.

[00:30:00] Didn't know why.

[00:30:01] My father and grandmother also have never slept in the dark.

[00:30:04] And after I got married, um, I saw the person again, the babysitter in the shadows, watching me sleep every so often.

[00:30:13] Sometimes closer, sometimes further.

[00:30:16] Never completely in the dark.

[00:30:18] And I was never paralyzed.

[00:30:19] It wasn't sleep paralysis.

[00:30:20] I could move, but she'd be just watching me sleep.

[00:30:23] Never told me why.

[00:30:25] Never said a word.

[00:30:26] Did grab my arm once.

[00:30:27] But she would go away eventually, especially if I prayed, not that I'm religious anymore.

[00:30:32] Um, my wife never saw her, my now former wife.

[00:30:35] Later, I learned that two of my siblings have seen her watching them sleep.

[00:30:39] All I know is that since I got divorced and I'm asleep in the light on, I haven't seen her again.

[00:30:44] Who that was and what that was about?

[00:30:47] I don't know.

[00:30:48] All I know is the lights are staying on when I sleep.

[00:30:55] Thank you, David, for your story.

[00:30:58] I'm so glad I listened to this in the afternoon because, uh, it still scared me in the middle of the day.
