Hey it's Michelle, and this week's five calls include a Victorian man who disintegrated into dust, a tall figure that showed up in a baptism photo no one else remembers seeing, a homemade Ouija board that put itself back together after being torn apart and discarded, a tall black mass that seemed shocked to be seen, and two sisters separated by loss who never stopped finding ways to reach each other. (This episode was formerly known as "Real Ghost Stories For Your Morning Commute - Mixtape Vol. 5")
Leah from California calls in about waking at 3 or 4 am to find a man in Victorian or Edwardian dress sitting in her desk chair. When she waved her hand through him, he dissolved into the air like scattering dust, gone completely by the time she turned the light on.
Beth from rural Kentucky calls in about a baptism photographed on instant film in the early '80s, long before digital editing existed. Across a sequence of photos, an unusually tall, long-haired figure appears standing among the congregation, moves position between shots, and vanishes entirely by the final photo. No one who attended the baptism remembers seeing him.
Yamari from Lancaster, Pennsylvania calls in about a sixth-grade sleepover Ouija board session that spelled out "axe, killed, woman" after being mocked for inactivity, followed by every candle in the sealed basement extinguishing at once and a shadow figure appearing above an unlit fireplace, holding something raised overhead. Days later, after the board was torn apart and thrown into a dam, Yamari found it fully reassembled on a nearby picnic table.
Nikki from Cleveland, Ohio calls in about seeing a large dark figure as a child, dismissed by her mother despite overhearing that same mother later admit fear of something behind her on the phone. As an adult, Nikki turned around while doing dishes to find a tall black mass staring back, one she felt communicate genuine surprise at being seen before flying directly into the wall.
Yvonne from the Philippines returns with two stories about her late sister Trisha, who died in infancy from chickenpox before Yvonne was born. In the first, Yvonne heard her name whispered clearly beside her ear the same day her family realized they'd forgotten Trisha's birthday. In the second, years later, Yvonne felt three distinct finger flicks on her arm while alone in a room, the last one hard enough to hear and feel, followed by a dream in which her sister told her to look behind her, revealing Yvonne's own body beside a pool.

[00:00:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It popped out, act, killed woman.
[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to Tell Me A Ghost Story.
[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_01]: The late night calling podcast where we delve into the world of the supernatural and explore the
[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: theory and unexplained.
[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm your host, Michelle Newman.
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_01]: This podcast features true stories from our callers that will send shivers down your spine
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and leave you questioning the existence of the afterlife.
[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_01]: So grab a cozy blanket, turn down the lights.
[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: This is Leah, calling in from California.
[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: My ghost story happened maybe six years ago or so.
[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And my same apartment where I live now.
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: My apartment's not that old, so it didn't feel like nothing about it made sense to me.
[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I was in my bedroom.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I was asleep all of a sudden, I think around three or four in the morning.
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I woke up.
[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I was completely wide awake.
[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't sure why I looked up.
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And in my bedroom, my bed and my desk chair and desk are relatively close to each other.
[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And I felt like I saw a man sitting in my chair.
[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He was not from this time period.
[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He had a suit on.
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it was Victorian, but it could be Edwardian.
[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And I closed my eyes.
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, nope, please no.
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm all good.
[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Open my eyes again.
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_02]: He was still there.
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I reached my hand up and like, wafted it.
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And I saw him like disintegrate into the air.
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It felt like I could see my fingers in front of my face, going back and forth.
[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And it felt like he became like atoms.
[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they all just became part of the room disappeared.
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So sort of like dust going back and forth.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I turned on my light.
[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It was no longer there.
[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I turned off my light, and my heart was pounding.
[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And just tried to go back to sleep and eventually I did.
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Leah.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes a ghost is connected to the land instead of the building.
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Other times that ghost could be connected to you.
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Take a peek at your family photo albums next time you're home and report back.
[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: He might be some long-lost ancestor, popping in to say hello.
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure all of this is bad.
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: This happened in rural Kentucky early to mid-80s when I was in high school.
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_03]: A friend of mine, Uncle, his name was Doug, was he was like the town drunk.
[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And this rural Kentucky like in your hazard Kentucky.
[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And he was like horrible.
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: He was safe, womanizer didn't have any kid, you name it horrible.
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So he decided to be safe.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He wanted to be baptized.
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And at that particular church, her church wasn't my church and I wasn't there.
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_03]: They would do it and they would do the baptism in a creek.
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And the creek was like pretty big, it was actually a small river.
[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And the whole congregation was there.
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So part of the congregation was on one side and they used to have a moment of
[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_03]: the occasion that they actually hired someone to take photos.
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: But everybody was poor back then so the pictures that they, you or the camera that
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: they used to bundle in the photo thing.
[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And she brought the pictures into her list.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: She said they were pretty interesting with a chair to throw.
[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: So she brought these pictures in and her name was Amy.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_03]: She showed me these pictures and I saw them myself and keep them on this is
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_03]: in the early 80s before Photoshop.
[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And you see like 15, 20 people on the far bank and then in between the camera man
[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and the herrific in the photo.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And the congregation was done being baptized with two preachers.
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And you see him and he's there.
[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_03]: There's one photo.
[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And then there's another photo where he's being.
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: He's going backwards and you see a, if really tall person who is a good
[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: but half above everyone else.
[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And like back to a little probably from on the left hand side.
[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And then he goes into the water and then you see a person and he's moved.
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like back towards the back row.
[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And then you see Doug come up and you see the preacher which is hanging on the
[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_03]: side.
[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And then the guy who ever just was here really long hair was off to the right.
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And then you see him dogs.
[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_03]: We just had down and he's moving his hair out of it face and walking his face.
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And the guy's going to something you know one in a congregation.
[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Remember see in this guy.
[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you Beth for your story.
[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if the tall man was part of Doug's damn nation or part of his salvation.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi Michelle.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_04]: My experience is with my wiki board when I was in six.
[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_04]: So my friends and I went to get a sleepover of like most cliches or
[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_04]: we made it all night.
[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_04]: We did it for 30 to 40 minutes without anything happening.
[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_04]: If we made our own wiki board, we climbed down stuff.
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Nothing was happening.
[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_04]: So we did everything we wanted to do.
[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Questions about what we're going to die.
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Questions about you know, like can something say can it come through.
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Before like I get deeper into the conversation,
[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_04]: my friends that I completely blocked us.
[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Doug, we put a lot of candles where there was no way that
[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_04]: we could move make good happen when we were doing this unless all
[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_04]: we're come through the door if you're doing it in the basement.
[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_04]: So one way in one way out.
[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_04]: When we were doing stuff, we asked for it.
[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_04]: We asked the board to do something and every time we asked it to
[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_04]: cook for something to show it.
[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_04]: So I can go mindy just in regular candles and dollar
[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_04]: tree with flickering.
[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_04]: So maybe it's coincidence maybe not but with every question we ask for
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_04]: and show ourselves that would happen.
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_04]: So we would mock the board, we would say nothing to go in on.
[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Until we asked something like the ghost or the entity
[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_04]: whatever was coming through to tell us something scary.
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It popped out, act.
[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Kill the woman.
[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And we were all like, oh, so what is that?
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_04]: After we asked it how, like we asked how did it feel to do that?
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it true?
[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_04]: After we asked that question all the candles that
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_04]: we had laid around us turned off.
[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And we were crying, we were freaked out that we turned on the light
[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_04]: and then when we turned on the light, my friends and I
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_04]: was like a finished basement in the corner of Bob our fireplace
[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_04]: that was not turned on.
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I promised you that there was like an
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_04]: a figure of a shadow man who being something
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_04]: above his head.
[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Like it wasn't super clear but it was dark enough to know
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_04]: that something would hold us something above his head.
[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And my friends and I can do this if we go, we turned on the TV
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_04]: we put on the radio and we also sleep in the corner.
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I hold my mom, my mom is very religious Catholic woman
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_04]: and when I told her that that happened, my mom was very upset
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_04]: because she's a very religious Catholic woman and that was one thing
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_04]: she stated that she wished I would never do.
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_04]: So after my mother had to talk with us like me and my friends
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_04]: so it took to my other friends like how that's wrong
[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_04]: and how we need to be careful.
[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_04]: My friends and I obviously felt that
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_04]: and we were still scared about what we saw.
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I never told my mother about what I saw but she was very upset
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_04]: that we did all of that mind you we made her a wiki board with cardboard
[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_04]: and we wrote it out ourselves and we used the little glass
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_04]: and lying to us for the pens to call I think I say you call it
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_04]: so after my mom had to talk with us the morning after making a breakfast
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_04]: with my friends when I got my really scared.
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_04]: So we ripped up the board and I lived in a community
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_04]: where they had a lake running through the community
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_04]: so we threw it and we threw the wiki board after we ripped it up
[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_04]: in the dam after we were done eating breakfast.
[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So we were fine with that we went, they was regular school day
[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_04]: a Monday or Tuesday because this is on the weekend
[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_04]: for my friends went home on a Sunday.
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_04]: My neighbors who's there I go back down to the dam
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_04]: just to see if they were wiki because it was made
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_04]: at a cardboard was gone but when I was there
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_04]: was like picnic tables on the side of the dam that we were at
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_04]: the wiki board was put back together.
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_04]: That really scared me whether it was a prank or not
[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_04]: but we threw a rock on it we like threw it away in pieces
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_04]: and it got back and a full piece like they look a puzzle piece.
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_04]: So I told my friends that and both my friends
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_04]: that they felt like they were out the week after I told them
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_04]: that they kept coming to me telling me they kept having nightmares.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't about anything specific but they would get anxiety
[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_04]: when they would go to sleep themselves.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_04]: So my mom told my uncle and my uncle
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_04]: you know, I'll cleanse the whole house.
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: So that's honestly it with you.
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_04]: We used to worry but growing up
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't have anything like I was going to like
[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_04]: 14 or 15.
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_04]: My be round about my 80s but growing up
[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I still live with my mom until I was like 25
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_04]: and I got pregnant and my mom says that
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: whenever I would like fall asleep in the living room
[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_04]: or when she would come in and see me that she would always see
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_04]: like a shadow follow me.
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Especially when I was pregnant
[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I've never seen her before
[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_04]: when my mom took care of me.
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, it was scary or she would cleanse me and all that stuff.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for your story, Yamari.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I still remember when my friend brought a Ouija board
[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: on our group vacation a few years ago
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_01]: she thought I was going to be into it
[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'm into the paranormal.
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I, on the other hand, insisted
[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: we do a Jigsaw puzzle instead.
[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Hi, I'm Leki.
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm from Cleveland, Ohio
[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_05]: and I have a ghost story.
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Now it's a little girl I saw ghost
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and I saw my mom about it.
[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_05]: My mom didn't believe me, you know
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I saw some male fit on table
[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_05]: from the previous owner
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and also male fit in that
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_05]: the previous owner was an nurse at home
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and his name was Oscar
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know, one day I thought
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_05]: that I saw a huge dark figure
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_05]: while I was sitting at the table
[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and I ran into my mom about it
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and she said, oh, you didn't see anything.
[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_05]: But, I felt funny
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_05]: because, but I wanted to be
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I heard her
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_05]: talk on a phone saying that
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_05]: she was so scared to turn around
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_05]: because she knew that something was behind her.
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_05]: So fast for a year later
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I've always thought about that
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and it wasn't until
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I was in a dog
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_05]: and I just got into argument
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_05]: with my fiance about some things to get.
[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_05]: He slammed the door
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_05]: so I thought they could let the house
[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_05]: so I had my hair falls on
[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I've looked at
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was watching this year's
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_05]: that night
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and I felt like someone was behind me.
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I felt that he was behind me.
[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Now, turned around
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_05]: and it was not my husband.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_05]: but it was tall, dark, black figure
[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and the way that it looked at me.
[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Now, it was a dark blob
[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_05]: so I didn't know
[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_05]: they were the person or anything like that
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_05]: because of the tall black map
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I felt like
[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_05]: it was a him and he was surprised
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_05]: that I saw him
[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_05]: and the communication
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_05]: that I got from that was

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like yes, I can tell him to you.
[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_05]: And he flew into the wall
[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_05]: what I saw was a big tall black mask
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and it was a ghost
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so my fiance was like the strong
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_05]: and I did not speak

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: of miniature muscles
[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_01]: that are attached to each hair
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to literally make your hair stand on end
[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_01]: This could happen
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_01]: when you feel cold, naturally
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_01]: here a beautiful piece of music
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: or
[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: feel threatened
[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_01]: next message
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm sure it's me again
[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Grinson's little penis
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_06]: and
[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_06]: I want him talk about
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_06]: someone who constantly isn't in me
[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_06]: made yourself down
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_06]: and she stopped
[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_06]: and she stopped
[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_06]: and she stopped
[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_06]: she stopped
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_06]: she already made her point
[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_06]: and she's watching me
[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_06]: and there's someone in
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_06]: slithes, Gerritre
[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_06]: so she was born
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_06]: in 1999
[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_06]: and we were in this morning
[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_06]: and we were in the 3
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_06]: on my mom and portion
[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_06]: and she was trying to
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_06]: because she
[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_06]: she wanted to take him
[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_06]: and push me
[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_06]: that's the reason why me
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_06]: was in the morning
[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_06]: so this experience
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_06]: was significant to me
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_06]: because it
[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_06]: so that if I
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_06]: or can try
[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_06]: and she was actually
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_06]: communicating
[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_06]: that's how it's been
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_06]: one to Sunday
[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_06]: and I was actually waiting for me
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_06]: to get into
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_06]: the shower.
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_06]: So I was waiting in the
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_06]: wedding rooms
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_06]: last night
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_06]: and I'm looking into
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_06]: here
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_06]: and I'm here
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_06]: the shower
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_06]: the water
[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_06]: and the water
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_06]: and I thought
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I heard someone call me name
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_06]: many of this
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_06]: who came on
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I go by my gate
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_06]: here
[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_06]: and
[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_06]: like
[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_06]: saw someone
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_06]: whispered my name
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_06]: who
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_06]: and I
[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_06]: can
[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_06]: come from
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_06]: your family
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_06]: here
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_06]: because
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_06]: by the shower
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_06]: and because it was
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_06]: said it so softly
[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_06]: didn't
[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_06]: believe it
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_06]: to be
[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_06]: my name
[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_06]: so
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I said
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_06]: to my son
[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I had
[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_06]: dead again
[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_06]: so it is again
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_06]: okay
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I was like
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_06]: nope
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_06]: okay
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_06]: here you
[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_06]: do it again
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_06]: so mad
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I did that
[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_06]: two or three more
[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_06]: times
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_06]: and
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I think
[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I got
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_06]: impatient
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_06]: or frustrated
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_06]: even when
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_06]: pushing up on that
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_06]: because I basically
[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_06]: bonded
[00:18:38] so
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_06]: it's that out loud
[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_06]: if you're there
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_06]: and if it's you
[00:18:45] think
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_06]: and
[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_06]: then
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_06]: come
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_06]: be
[00:18:49] and
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_06]: the
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_06]: night
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_06]: is
[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_06]: the
[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_06]: and
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_06]: and
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_06]: We're still looking at them there so I can't see anything.
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Really cannot see anything.
[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_06]: I go and look at myself, I can't find anything.
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't see anything.
[00:19:12] Look.
[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Quartz me.
[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_06]: But I felt it.
[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_06]: And that said my name.
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Clear good thing.
[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I felt it.
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_06]: So I ran to my mom's room.
[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_06]: And she was lying to me.
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, Mom,
[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_06]: so I'm wearing this cotton earling.
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_06]: And because she's had experiences like this where she would
[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_06]: sure someone calling her.
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_06]: She said, tell me, go away.
[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Tell them to leave.
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_06]: This is in the room.
[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And I don't know why I thought that.
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_06]: But it didn't.
[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_06]: They told her what if it's true shock?
[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_06]: That's when she sat up.
[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_06]: And this shock that continues, she was like,
[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_06]: name for the populous sisters birthday.
[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_06]: She got a little candle and they said a front mirror.
[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_06]: This is a beautiful, you know, costume.
[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_06]: That was just what we did.
[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_06]: We're unable to visit the room.
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_06]: We, like a candle.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Please set outside the door.
[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: It's on the doors and to anywhere else.
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'll be right there.
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_06]: We place it outside because if I were there too,
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_06]: visit us.
[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_06]: They'd know that.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_06]: We're taking them.
[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Ivonne.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_01]: AKA Moogie for calling in again.
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You have my condolences about the loss of your sister.
[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's an honor to have you share her story with us.
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Hi, I'm Charlotte.
[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Ivonne again from the vote teams.
[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I'd like to say thank you so much for
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_06]: giving me the chance to share my story.
[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_06]: And this capacity would be the last.
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_06]: So here it goes.
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_06]: This is about my latest sister.
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_06]: My nickname is Trisha.
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_06]: She was born 1984.
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Was born in the 2003.
[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_06]: We vote the names we don't.
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, nowadays we do before we didn't tell them we're home.
[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_06]: The most important thing that we celebrate is also state.
[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_06]: The day the dead.
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_06]: It's all right around the number one.
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_06]: So I remember we went home from the cemetery visiting our relatives.
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_06]: And I chose to go straight home to my parents' place.
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_06]: But already my relatives stayed at my grandma's place because she wanted to have dinner with all the
[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_06]: entire family.
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_06]: We were done so when back home just to wind down all by myself.
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_06]: And I was standing in the middle of the room facing the TV.
[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_06]: So normally, like I'm a person with you cross your arms in front of your
[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_06]: front of you, you know cross your arms in front of you.
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I do it in my back on my back.
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, um, while I was watching, I felt something flickly like flick of a finger
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_06]: in the back of my right arm.
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, that's weird.
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Could be just a decision on the hand.
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I just several bit and then continue to watch.
[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_06]: So while watching, it happened again two and three times.
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_06]: And I had a thinking, it could just be my arm.
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, you know, it's a weird way to do it to cross your hands on your back.
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_06]: The thing is the last time that thing or whatever was flick to me, I heard it
[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_06]: and felt it in it hard.
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Like, you actually heard it, a flick of a finger.
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_06]: So I was like, is that your pressure and then it stopped?
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_06]: It stopped and said, hi, from here again, I can't feel you.
[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_06]: And then I just went back to my grandparents' place because it was Ricky.
[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_06]: And um, that happened a couple of instances, not basically my experience,
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_06]: but my dad would work and um, my mom had helped hired a maid to watch over us,
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_06]: cleaned house and watch over us as well.
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_06]: So the maid's that we've had a couple of them would say or would have to sleep out with her
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_06]: or if I was, um, if I saw by after class home and then went out
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_06]: because every time they said they would hear me or see me is just like a, but maybe me,
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_06]: my silhouette maybe from me walking out of the room or my laughter because I love
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_06]: never like a really well-lath.
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_06]: And maybe I always tell me, I heard you, I saw you glimpsed in you,
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_06]: fleeing glimpses so that was always the comment and I'm not sure if I look like my sister
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_06]: or if I had to, that would be a compliment because it was they she was pretty.
[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_06]: So anyway, the very last experience I've ever had was a dream.
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_06]: So usually my family makes a family, my grandparents, my aunties, my uncles,
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_06]: would never me would get together with being during holidays or summer or just as long as the kids
[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_06]: including the meals younger, um, wouldn't have school.
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_06]: So or some break from the strawberry.
[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_06]: So we would rent out a house, has built in pool and we would enjoy our summer or holiday together.
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_06]: This scenario and my dream was I was getting out of the pool and by the time I was looking at
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_06]: the location or just like, my own apartment, everybody in the background just like rushing,
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_06]: screaming, crying, and panicking. And in my end I'm like, what's happening?
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_06]: But I couldn't approach the adults because they were doing what they had to,
[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not really sure what was happening but I could see because it's all lined up
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_06]: from the youngest to the eldest and somewhere down the line is my sister, Trisha.
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_06]: So I saw her there but her face was blurred but I know it was her because she was the only one that
[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't know who it was, well actually I knew it was her but yeah, I could see everyone else's face
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_06]: just hers, I couldn't see. So I've asked every single cousin of mine what was happening and
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_06]: then they were just panicking crying and then I got to my sister and I was like what's happening?
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_06]: She was like look behind you, behind you and I did. When I looked behind me, I saw a dead body
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_06]: and the dead body was me, right next to the pool. So that was when I woke up freaking out
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_06]: and checked the calendar it was July the month when we lost her. No, my mom lost her.
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_06]: So that was like basically everything just baking sense like she does it to remind me of her.
[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_06]: So never took it against her but she hasn't been doing it because I've been like setting up
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_06]: a reminder as a July after my remember the light candle offered prayer.
[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_06]: So that's it again, thank you so much Michelle and how good.
