Michelle's Favorites of 2023

[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. Hi my name is Hector and I'm from New Mexico. And this is more of a personal experience that I've had which started happening in 2013.

[00:01:00] It wasn't necessarily seeing any ghosts or apparitions but more of being physically touched or scratched or attacked, however you want to interpret that. The first time this happened to me was in 2013 and I went to my local gym, came home,

[00:01:22] got ready for the day and as I was getting ready I noticed I had three long scratches on the back of my forearm. I don't know how those scratches appeared or where they came from so I took a picture

[00:01:36] of it only because it was just one of those situations that's kind of hard to believe that something like that happens. I wasn't necessarily scared but definitely questioned a lot of things that go on and as far as me trying to debunk it I just wasn't able to.

[00:01:59] And so this went on over the course of the next ten years. There would be times where I would just be doing normal everyday things and I would get scratched. Sometimes it was two scratches, sometimes it was three scratches.

[00:02:19] 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. There was short, maybe the height of a young adult maybe and they had this menacing look

[00:02:42] on their face and they were kind of laughing and then they had approached me and then they just kind of sped off in the other direction like at the speed of light it was pretty insane.

[00:02:55] Well I woke up and it was 3.33 in the morning so the following night I'm sleeping, sound asleep and I hear this loud banging like just a solid bang loud enough to wake me up.

[00:03:16] Now my bedroom door at the time always kept it shut and it was just a janky door that you had to kind of forcefully push to close it and kind of pull to open.

[00:03:27] Well when I heard this loud bang I woke up, I checked the time it was 3.33 in the morning and once I got my senses about me I looked over and sure enough my door was open.

[00:03:44] 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 and so when I got out of bed I just felt a really bad sensation.

[00:04:00] I had the chills up and down my body, all my senses were heightened, just something felt like it was there for a brief moment that shouldn't be there and after those three moments the air was a little lighter.

[00:04:16] I felt okay after that but that was probably the most intense experience that I had with that. Now what do these scratches mean? I have no idea. They do happen in threes a lot more than anything.

[00:04:33] Sometimes it's a single scratch. I'm at a point now where I'm kind of just used to it, doesn't really bother me because I don't let things like that bother me and again you know just open to one's own personal beliefs. I don't believe that anyone's particular

[00:04:51] belief is right or wrong. Definitely I do keep an open mind about it but just wanted to share that story. Thanks. Thanks Hector for your story. 3.33 a.m. Known to many as the witching hour.

[00:05:11] It's thought to be a time when the veil separating our dimension from the next is at its thinnest. It sounds like you might have accidentally caught a glimpse of your scratcher. Next message.

[00:05:27] I'm Michelle, this is Yvonne. I'm from the Little Pinks and I'm here to share you one of scariest experience I've ever had in my life and I've had a few scary stories that I can tell you about but this one just takes the cake.

[00:05:49] So it was possibly around 2002 to 2004. I went right next door to my auntie to use her computer because I didn't have one so I was in the living room slash dining room and I like keeping all

[00:06:08] the lights turned off so every light was turned off. It was in the afternoons with the perfect light which is coming in through the windows and while I was browsing in and that I just felt

[00:06:22] something weird. You see I am not a stranger to the paranormal. I've experienced it since I was a kid and it only stopped when I went to college but I've been so used to it that

[00:06:41] it really didn't bother me. 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 and that's not normal

[00:07:03] because I feel and see things or at least I used to when I was living there with my parents and when I felt that it just felt so unusual because I never would feel

[00:07:20] uncomfortable or unwanted whenever that happens. So I just turned off the computer packed all my stuff and then tried to exit to go upstairs. My mom's house and my auntie's house her sister

[00:07:37] has a balcony that's connected 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 so I was waking I was making my way up the

[00:07:53] stairs and at the time or by the time I've reached the top of the stairs I had this feeling to look back down the stairs. I wish that I didn't have to or I wish that I didn't at all

[00:08:09] but I did and I saw a black figure it was weird because like I said I could see the light coming in from outside the home but I could clearly see a silhouette of something shaped like a human

[00:08:33] 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 and I slammed the door behind

[00:08:49] me. My aunt at the time was freaked out she said why do you have to slam a door why do you have to run what's happening and then it was like screaming at her and it was like something was

[00:09:04] following me something ran from the bottom of the stairs to top the stairs and just started running after me and even before I had the chance to slam the door I could see the

[00:09:15] shadow like just rushing running towards me 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

[00:09:37] happened I talked to my auntie and she confirmed that she saw what I saw only with the precaution not to acknowledge it the next time because apparently when I acknowledged it at the time

[00:09:54] it actually stayed standing right next to her as she slept and she couldn't sleep because it wouldn't go away so that's my story um see you around Michelle thank you avon for calling in I admire your aunt's practicality in these matters a good night's sleep is paramount

[00:10:17] I on the other hand may never sleep again after your story next message from Ohio so uh I was a a nice you nurse and I worked the night shift seven p to seven a

[00:10:35] and uh one night I had a patient in the very back last room of the unit and it used to be an office and they transitioned it into more patient rooms so when I went in the night everything was normal I'm just taking care of an elderly female

[00:11:00] and around midnight or so I had to go back in the room and I was speaking with a patient and um she said I was standing at the computer and there was chairs and the corner was behind me

[00:11:16] and she said I was just talking to her about the day and she mentioned something about a man in a black suit behind me they're sitting in the corner so um naturally I was curious

[00:11:34] so I asked her I said have are you seeing them right now or are they related to you as a family member she said no no I don't know them he's been here with me all day um and I asked her to describe

[00:11:48] him to me and she said it was just a tall man in a black suit he's been sitting here with me all day he's sitting in the corner right now and I mean I needless to say I got chills pretty quickly

[00:12:03] you know I'm looking behind me and I asked her have you spoke to him or as he said anything and she said no he's just been sitting here with me all day long so I said okay and I asked her if

[00:12:17] there's anything else she needed and then no um she was fine so went along with my shift nothing else really notable happened and not while I was on shift next time I was back I asked

[00:12:29] uh the staff you know and checked to see what happened with that patient and they said that it was probably a day or so after when I saw her um that she had passed away

[00:12:45] I've had several encounters like that where family members in the ICU or in the hospital that are nearing death will witness their mothers their fathers or family members and every time I would ask them oh did they come and visit you today

[00:13:07] or are they still alive are they still with us no they've passed that was a common occurrence in that in the hospital in the ICU so yeah very uh creepy um that was one of the more uneasy

[00:13:23] moments that I've had uh in the hospital thanks thank you Tyler from Ohio you know what's interesting when my grandmother was in hospice she said she was being visited by someone she called

[00:13:39] the metaphysicist who would come and fly around the corners of her room within a few days she'd passed away I wonder if the metaphysicist was wearing a black suit that's all we have this week
