The True Paranormal

Cory's experience: "I didn't tell you about this, but this was about a month or so ago when we were at the Stanley, and I go and get in the elevator and it's about to close, and this little girl, she puts her hand and stops it, and she goes 'is it okay if I get in here with you?' And I was like 'yeah, that's fine'. So, she gets in and the door closes and in the elevator, you know, we press the number but it's not moving and I'm like 'I wonder why it's not moving?' And she goes 'oh, it's the kids' and I go 'what do you mean it's the kids?' She goes 'it's the kids here, I've been hanging out with them' and I was like 'okaaay' and she's like 'yeah, they're on the', oh I don't remember what floor she said, she's like 'they're on the third floor', or something like that, and I was like 'all right'. So then it goes up, and then she g...

So, this post is going to go a little differently from my other posts regarding the experiences told in the Overnight channel's 'Haunted Homies' series. Usually, I write out the experience someone has written in to them, then transcribe the Q&A they do, and then I list activity mentioned followed by my overall thoughts. This is not going to be that, but I can guarantee it will still be very interesting to read. What will follow is an extremely long Q&A transcript of a conversation between the hosts, Elton and Corey, and the owner of the location they are in: Pythian Castle, Springfield, Missouri. Elton and Corey discuss some interesting things with Tamara, most notably the resistance she got from the local authorities while trying to open the location as a business. I will still list my thoughts at the end, but I thought it best to prepare you for the really long transcript that will follow. I hope you enjoy! Tamara Q&A: Elton:   'So, my understandin...

Liz's experience: 'This story happened when I was twelve, but to this day I still see the shadow figures. I remember I was in the kitchen making a bowl of cereal, home alone, and it was very quiet. I could see out of the corner of my eye a figure, just like a man's black figure outline that you would see on a bathroom but more fuzzy, and it was about 6'7 I would say. I could feel that it was watching me, but when I would turn to face it, it would disappear. I let out a sigh, confused, and a little on edge. I finished getting my bowl of cereal and I was gonna sit down to eat it. I set the bowl down on the kitchen table and then I froze. The figure was inches from me. I could practically feel it but I could only see it out of the corner of my eye. It was on the right side looking over my shoulder. I was shitting my pants like it was just waiting to get at me, to jump at me, again. I went to turn to confront it and it disappeared. The strangest thing about this...

Noah Howard's first discussed experience: 'I've had, like, visual experience too. Also in Colorado at my friend's house in Franktown which is, if you know what Franktown is in Colorado, it's in the middle of bumfuck, it's, like, you don't know where it is if you go to Colorado, and he has this big log cabin and he had a trampoline out by a shed and his parents were never home. We would just throw parties and jump on the trampoline, like fifteen years old, and (...) we were on the trampoline, next thing you know there's that shed in the back, it's pitch black, the only light out there is the moon, that's literally all you can see; shed goes boom. We all start bolting in the house, we're running, we lock the doors, we go up into my friend's room, stare out the window towards the trampoline, you can't see anything, it's black but we're like 'ooh look in the direction, see if there's something'. I kid you n...

Noah Howard's first discussed experience: 'Recently with the spirit box, um, we were at a friend's house, it's about, what, five days ago? And there, I was like 'yeah, me and my mum are known as the people who can talk to ghosts', and she was like 'okay, well, I have a, I have a new spiritbox. Can you break it in for me?' I was like 'oh, sure', plug the headphones in, I go by their windowsill, I'm just sitting there listening. I say random words here and there, and then all of a sudden I say 'Metcalf'. I was like 'that's what I heard', it was clear: 'Metcalf'. You know how in the spiritbox it's like, different voices, like, you can tell it's like a male, woman, and this is a strong male 'Metcalf'... and then it was *imitates white noise*  'coyote', and I was like 'okay', and then they all freaked out, came over to me, and said 'how do you know this?' This is my se...

Noah Howards's first ouija board  experience: 'The story isn't mine, but it's my mother's, and to this day she will not use ouija boards, and I have my own story, but hers are much better haha. One night while playing with the ouija board in 1994 on a cold snowy December night in Chicago, my mother and aunt came in contact with something, or someone, named Frank who said he wants Margaret, and then starts going back and forth with numbers repeatedly telling them words after each other, each sequence such as 'call' or 'answer her'. My mum was very hesitant, but ended up calling the number to which a woman answered the phone from a bar in Boston. When the lady answered, my mum said 'okay, I know this is crazy, but I'm playing with a spirit board and this person communicating with me is very intensely asking me to call this number over and over. His name is Frank, and wants me to speak with a woman named Margaret'. The lady says ...

Isabelle's experience: 'I've always believed in the paranormal. Growing up I've been very sensitive to otherworldly things. I would say the scariest recent thing to happen to me was back in late May. I had just moved in with my cousin on our own together. One night I was sleeping in my room and I heard footsteps coming to my room, so I assumed it was my cousin coming to ask me something. I swear on everything I saw, her exact silhouette walk into my room, and walk up to my bed looking down into my eyes as if she was checking to see if I was awake. I was half asleep so I just went back to sleep thinking nothing of it until the next morning when I had asked her why she came into my room. She told me she was asleep and actually had gone to bed before I did. That was the first experience with a doppelganger and definitely made me believe in them.' Isabelle Q&A Corey: 'So tell us about this, uh, this story and this doppelganger.' Isabelle: 'Ba...
