Something Was Killing Our Pets, My Ghost Roommate Daisy

[00:00:02] 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. I'm your host, Michelle Newman. This podcast features true stories from our callers that will send shivers down your

[00:00:32] spine and leave you questioning the existence of the afterlife. So grab a cozy blanket, turn down the lights. Hey Michelle, my name is Rock. I live here in Orange County and I have a ghost story to share with you. I have many.

[00:00:54] So my parents used to open a house here in Montana and it was fairly new and I can give out the exact location at the office summit and it's very eerie from the get go.

[00:01:07] And mind you, I'm an intuitive person so fast forward we move into the house and when we lived in this house specifically, we could hear creaking noises. It's not like people were walking on a roof and there were things falling on the ceiling

[00:01:24] and my parents always discarded it. So a couple years were jumping forward and we just had a series of like unfortunate events and it was just one thing after another. My grandparents had passed away, all my animals, they would not even last like a year.

[00:01:41] There was always something happening with my animals and my jar went through like 50. It's just insane. Like I had rabbits, I had birds, I couldn't really keep them alive. I was going through a rough time with Max and he really wasn't like the type of

[00:01:55] person to believe in the eternal more. So one day I hear my mom in her room so I go in there and I'm like, hey mom, you know, what's going on? And I see her sitting on the edge of the bed and she's just crying hysterically and

[00:02:13] it sounded like someone had just died so I'm trying to re-console her by patting her on their back, you know, brushing her hair and all of a sudden her crying stopped. Then she starts cackling and she starts laughing and she's like...

[00:02:33] And then the laugh started becoming like more louder and louder as it was echoing through all the holes. And it was just so insane because I'm like, who the hell is this person? And I'm like, why are you crying? Why are you laughing?

[00:02:47] So I reach over and move her hair out of her face and her face was scorched. It looked like someone had threw acid on her face. Her eyes were white and she was just cackling and then she vanished in front of me.

[00:03:03] So mind you, we also have a little goldfish in the corner at the time. I bought for my little sister and her name was Dorothy and my sister loved her kid up. So mind you, my mom and dad were out of Costco.

[00:03:15] I'm freaking out because I can't explain where the hell this woman went. It wasn't even my mother. And I just kept hearing her laughing and cackling echoing throughout her whole room. So I said, hey, where's my mom? And I said, hey, where are you at?

[00:03:27] And she's like, I'm at Costco with your dad. Why? And I said, well, I just thought you were in the room. She was like, that's impossible. I'm not home and run over to my room when my ex was getting ready.

[00:03:36] And I told him, okay, I was like, my mom was in the room, but it wasn't my mom and he didn't believe me. But he ran into the room and then he heard the same thing.

[00:03:46] And he said that he saw my mom and she was standing in the corner crying and she had her hair over her face like the grudge. And then as she was crying, he went and touched her and she was cackling. He comes running and I said, what happened?

[00:04:00] He goes, holy shit. And I said, I told you so. So I waited an hour to go to her room. And as I go to her room, I see this figure sticking her hand in the Goldfish tank, like squeezing the hell out of it.

[00:04:15] And you just see this woman just laughing and cackling. So I said, you know what? You need to leave my, this is Goldfish alone. You need to get the hell out of here. It disappeared surprisingly.

[00:04:23] The fish survived and I had met one of my friends and her mother told me that I should gather 50 candles in a tray and light it overnight and toss it in the river. River bait.

[00:04:38] So I did as instructed and as I lit these candles in the middle of the night, there was like so much shadow, wine throughout the wall in the house. So it was the next day where I had to gather the candles and I told them

[00:04:52] actually need to go to Lido Creek. And you guys know about Lido Creek, it's super active there. And so I went, got the candles put in the bag and I tossed it in the river bank as I was pulled.

[00:05:04] So I went back home didn't take nothing of it and did you this like the week of my sister's birthday. And her birthday is around this time in December. So my mom is telling my ex and I to go ahead and clean the garage

[00:05:18] because we're having her birthday party. And as I was cleaning the garage, the cement was all wet and all of a sudden a little girl, the footprint started appearing. So I told my ex, I was like, hey, this is weird.

[00:05:34] There's a footprint on the floor and there's no way that my sister could possibly have stepped foot in the garage because she was about two years old at the time. And mind you, this was like the size of a four year old or five year old footprint.

[00:05:45] So as I'm cleaning the garage, I look over to, I pull up the blinds in the window and as I pulled it up, we see nothing but little kids hand prints and footprints on the window.

[00:05:56] So I ran my mom and I told her, I was like, hey, look at this. And my mom was like, what the hell? Like who's footprints and hand prints are those? She looked and she looked at the ground where the cement

[00:06:06] was, somebody had walked towards the door and my mom goes, that's totally weird. So my mom started seeing a little girl with a little Victorian dress with baby doll thoughts and baby doll hair. And she said that she would always follow my sister, but my

[00:06:20] sister always had the most craziest experiences living in the house and even all my friends that I grew up in high school were even like, who is your sister talking to? Or they would say, and I told them, I was like, oh, it's a little girl Sophia.

[00:06:32] And they said, who's Sophia? And I said, well, she's my sister's imaginary friend, but check this out. So I did my research about Lado Creek and apparently it was a little girl named Sophia whose father took her to Lado Creek and unaligned her.

[00:06:51] And this was back in the day. And so one day my little sister was missing in the middle of the night. And my mom went in my room and she was panicking and she was screaming. She's like, where is your sister? Where is she at?

[00:07:07] Like I can't find her. What's going to call our Annie? Well, like we can't find Annie where the heck is she at? And we hear her, but we couldn't see her. And mind you, my mom had a cow king size bed.

[00:07:18] So we just kept hearing giggling, like a little girl giggling and my sister's giggling and we're looking under the bed and there's no one there. So I told my mom, I was like look under the bed again what we have to do at the same time.

[00:07:30] So we both look under the bed at the same time and my sister was in the farthest corner of the bed and there was a dark figure next to her laughing. And my dad goes and directs my sister and says, you don't need to do that.

[00:07:46] My mom's like crying and screaming and she's like, what the hell? You know, and she's yelling at the air. She's like, you need to leave my daughter alone. And I told my mom, I said, well, remember, she had a little imaginary friend named Sophia.

[00:07:59] And I told my mom, like you really need to not let her play with this entity because we don't even know if it's an actual girl, especially how active the house is. So my mom had called in the priest. He didn't even work. So she called it again.

[00:08:14] She called a Catholic priest to come in to bless health. Nothing happened. So she called Indian priest and they did the traditional like ceremonies and they, you know, blessed open a coconut. That's what you do to, you know, to expel negative energies and that didn't work either.

[00:08:30] So I took it in my matter of my own hands and using my native side, I use sage and I smudge them a house every almost every single day. Basically the commandant Sophia to leave and she was completely gone. So I hope you guys liked the story.

[00:08:43] I hope you enjoy this. I have plenty more stories to tell as well. And that is my story of Sophia. Rock, thank you for your story. Intuitively. Do you think Sophia and your mom's doppelganger were the same spirits? Or do you believe that banishing the first spirit allowed

[00:09:06] Sophia to follow you home from the river? Send in more stories. I'd love to hear them next message. My name is Carlo. First time caller, long time listener in Los Angeles. And my ghost story is kind of like, it's almost like a misconnection ghost story or anyway,

[00:09:36] I'll just explain. So I had just moved to Los Angeles. I was in my early 20s, kind of fresh out of college and I was living in downtown in the arts district in a big loft. Like, like imagine like the loft in the movie big,

[00:09:55] like it's kind of was like that. It were just like open for plan, really spacious. You know, just mean two other guys were also in their early 20s and it was, yeah, it was a dream, really dreamy place to live.

[00:10:13] And I was there late one night by myself and I was, I was drawing or working on something and it was like late at night and all of a sudden on the other side of the loft, I was in the kitchen table and then from the other side

[00:10:35] of the loft, I hear a car alarm. And I was like, yes, like who's hello? Because it was like I could, it wasn't like in my head. Like it was in the room, like very clearly in the room.

[00:10:55] And I walked to the other side and like looked around the corner and yeah, there was like definitely no one there. And it was just like, it was just really strange because I'm not like I don't hallucinate. Like I don't, I'm, yeah, it's just like not hearing voices

[00:11:13] is not part of my history. The next day I'm in like the courtyard and my upstairs neighbors, they've been living in the lofts for a long time and they actually used to live in my loft. Now they live on the top floor, but back when they were

[00:11:29] you know 10 years ago or whatever 15 years ago, they lived in the loft I was living in. And I was like, hey guys just like real quick kind of random but like is the loft hunted? Because like I heard someone say my name last night

[00:11:49] and it was just kind of like, it was really strange. And they just like, they're a husband and wife and they just like look at each other and then they look at me and they go daisy. And I was like daisy and they're like, yeah, daisy.

[00:12:06] And they explained that like when they were like in art school like then they're living in the loft. They had this like friend named Daisy who apparently just like cherished the loft and it was like, it was a really special place. So I get it.

[00:12:22] And they're like she loved it. And then somehow I don't, I remember like what the terminal illness was but she came down with like a, like some disease that she ended up dying. And it was very like, you know, a young tragic sad thing

[00:12:38] but they're like, she's just never left. She was just always with us in the loft. And they're like, you know, sometimes still to this day like if we like feel like we're stuck or like need some advice, like we'll like just call out to daisy

[00:12:54] and you know, like the lights will flicker or like, you know, she'll like find a way to like interact. And I was like that's pretty wild. And I think I probably lived there for like another year or two years after that.

[00:13:10] And Daisy called my name about three more times. And but she would hang out with me a lot when I was taking a shower. And like, I would be like in the shower and it was like a big bathtub shower with like circular curtain around it.

[00:13:28] And I could see her out of the corner of my eye like standing in the corner of the room. And like when I would like turn the look at her it would be like in a movie where there's like a crossfade

[00:13:39] where like we dissolve into the next scene and she would just like disappear as I would turn. So I just start talking to her like, Daisy, like you can hang out with me. Like I don't mind, I don't mind you being here with me. Like it's fine.

[00:13:52] And then I even started asking her for advice. Like I remember this one night, like I was really broke at the time and I finally got like a check in the mail and it was like late at night and I was probably like overdrawn

[00:14:07] and my bank was like right on the edge of Skid Row. And this was, yeah, I mean it's Skid Row. It's not ideal, especially like late at night and I was really like on the verge of like I should just go deposit this check

[00:14:23] so like I could get the process started to like not be overdrawn. But then like on my way out like I just felt Daisy be like, no, don't go. And I was like, Daisy? And I could just like feel Daisy holding me back

[00:14:39] and be like, don't, don't, don't go do this right now. It's like one in the morning. Don't, don't go deposit a check in Skid Row at one in the morning. There's better things to do at your time. When I left the loft,

[00:14:54] I like remember like when it was empty just being like, hi Daisy, I'm going to miss you. Thank you for like your company while it's here. Like your good ghost. Yeah. And that was my story with Daisy. Yeah, Daisy the sweetheart. Thank you, Carlo.

[00:15:14] Daisy sounds like a great roommate. If you get locked out, she can use her spare spooky to get you back in. But the trick is getting her to split the rent because no body can afford it. Get it? No body? Cause she's a ghost.
