[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and where she was.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And she said, can't you help me?

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And my grandmother and I were both psyched

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I said, don't you know your Maryland Monroe,

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you died a couple years back

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_02]: and she didn't act in white.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She didn't know what we were saying.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_02]: She was suddenly regained her composure.

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And she said that she wanted people to know

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_02]: that she didn't commit suicide.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_02]: That somebody else did it for her.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So she walked back down the beach

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and come to me by a man now when he couldn't see him

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: because he had his back face to us.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Next message.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Hi, my name's Adam and I'm for Bicator L'Noye.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been in the paranormal field for over 20 years now

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and I have to get asked a lot of questions

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_00]: about my experiences.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_00]: One question that comes up a lot is

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_00]: are you afraid something will attach to you?

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Follow you home.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: For years, I never really thought much about it

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_00]: until one night in the summer of 2016.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It all started when my friend Jake and I

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: decided to visit a well-known haunted house in town.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: This place had a dark and unsettled

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: in the past.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_00]: With stories of murder suicide, a major fire

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00]: and even the fact that it was built on top

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_00]: of a Native American burial ground.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_00]: We were there late when night

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: prepping some materials for a ghost hunting workshop

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_00]: we had planned in the upcoming weeks.

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_00]: While we were there, we decided to try something new

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: using a black mirror for sky.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_00]: For those unfamiliar black mirrors

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_00]: supposed to provide us soft focus for your eyes

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: helping your mind to calm down and wonder.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Jake and I had never really used one before,

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_00]: so we thought, why not give it a shot?

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I used the mirror for about 20 minutes.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Then Jake took his turn for another 20 minutes.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_00]: The house was dark and eerily quiet

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: as we set in different rooms hoping to experience something.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But nothing happened.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Actually it felt kind of calming.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_00]: After we decided to call it night and head home,

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Jake and I lived about six minutes from the house

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: but in opposite directions,

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: me to the north hand of the south.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_00]: So we should arrive back home

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: to our houses at the same time.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It was around 1am when I pulled into my driveway

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_00]: as I got out of my car was hit with this overwhelming feeling.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_00]: The night was completely silent,

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: no wind, no car sounds, nothing.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It was strange, unsettling quiet.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I suddenly felt like someone was standing right behind me,

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_00]: watching me as I slowly turned around.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I looked, there was no one there

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_00]: and the silence was still eerie.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel a little bit spooked.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I decided to pick up the pace

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_00]: and unlock my front door when suddenly my phone rang.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not much of a caller more of a texture

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_00]: so getting a call at 1am was unusual.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it is unusual for about anyone actually.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It was Jake though.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I answer I say hey what's up?

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_00]: His first words were are you home?

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Which I did reply yes.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I said why?

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_00]: He said, when he pulled up,

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_00]: he got out of this car

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_00]: and as he shut his car door,

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_00]: he thought someone was watching him.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Steering at him near the tree that was behind him.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_00]: He slowly walked up to his house

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: and I said, oh really?

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_00]: What else?

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_00]: He says why is it so damn quiet up?

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_00]: That moment I realized

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I was alone in this experience.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Something strange had happened.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So I decided to hurry up and get inside

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_00]: and it told Jake what Colin back later in the morning.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_00]: As I lay there and bed later,

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't stop thinking.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Was whatever it was still outside my house

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_00]: or had it returned to the creepy old house

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_00]: on the burial ground?

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess that night,

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I got my answer to the common question.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for calling in Adam.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_03]: The answer you got was yes.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_03]: In big capital letters,

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_03]: next caller.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a strong man, I was Lisa.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm an Aboriginal woman of the Gomorrah Nation

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm based on quantum-mithic country

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: or in the Brisbane area of Queensland and Australia.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I love the podcast

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and I would like to share a story with you.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I was four years old

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and I remember waking up during the middle of the night

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_01]: feeling someone standing behind me

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: in one of my bedroom

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and I rolled over to see who it was

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and I could see a tall man standing in the doorway

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: of my bedroom

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and all I remember is that he was tall,

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: very skinny,

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I was wearing a hat.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't see any detail of his face

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_01]: or his clothes

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: but I stared at him and he stared back at me

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_01]: and I remember thinking to myself

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: what am I going to do

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: to get to Mum and Dad or what have to do?

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: So Nick, I ran down to him or go through him

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_01]: so I just rolled back over

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: facing the wall, putting my back towards him

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_01]: and whispered to myself

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_01]: please go away, please go away

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_01]: please go away

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and just fall back to sleep.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I never saw him again as an older child

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_01]: or an adult

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: but that incident plays on my mind all the time

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: so I'm not so,

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I've now created my own scary story podcast

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that will feature first nation stories

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_01]: of paranormal and true horror

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: because I know that we've got a lot of stories

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: amongst our people here in Australia

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and he is the torment

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: that was of my door is actually the artwork for my podcast

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_01]: so hopefully it's a journey to learn more

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: about this torment

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and maybe why he was there

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and to connect with other Aboriginal or Indigenous people

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: in Australia and around the world

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: with their stories of paranormal and true horror.
