But that that might be the whole .

purpose of a mining. Well, i'm not a man. I am a fricking cloud.

It's exe.

A few of you get right too because I posted a photo with melling freak eye. I hopefully you can see well.

Well, next to the tails me, you were him from laboring before. Yeah, now I needed to be another era. Zig, yeah, think you started me. And then I could be like a famous rocker. Oh, the girls are turning.

I'm just I have a theme of famous rockers. Yeah, I like also .

happy halloween. It's legit halloween right now. It's halloween.

It's not halloween when we recorded this. No, but we're in the halloween spirit. You we stay .

in alloweth.

It's we now, yes, where you are.

I tell tell me where you are in the future and in the past, it's not halloy, but to tell me every day in our heart.

So it's true here we are and is, and that's why we're going to do this more often. But it's listen our tails. We're going to do some how many themes listen our tails. And of course, this is why we decided to make this A N spooky event that I think we're going to do all the time.

think it's going to be great. But so let's go to the tails. It's listener tails.

It's brought you by you, for you, from you in all about E. U. Let's go.

All well, the first one was written specifically for me. You didn't say that, but I decided IT was. And this is from cara.

And it's fine to use their name and IT has a shadow man shook some eyes on my stairs. Soon as we saw this one, I was like, that's for I said, thank you. That is for share, right?

So let's start off by saying i'm not sure of my house, one hundred and one years old built during prohibition is actually haunted or just something, something that things passed through. I have distinct memories during my childhood, blind shooting closed on their own, and then periods of time, more things were Normal. The biggest and spookiest set of ghostly happenings happened about four years ago during my senior year of high school, were right around halloween.

Halloween for o october.

Things ramped up over time. IT started one night when I was up like working on a class project. My twin brother came in and told me he was gna go to bed and walked out of the kitchen where I was.

A few minutes later, I heard the distinct down sound of the foot rest of our recliner being snapped down. So I seemed, it's my bro. And he SAT back down for a sec.

And I wait. Nothing, no one, just me and panic, shit that suddenly sponge. And due to my fear, I go and check.

Yep, he'd gone to about ten minutes prior when he told me, cool, co. cool. I was totally fine having a ghost to chill in my living room and returned to my project. If I don't address IT.

it'll stop, right? That's how all problems in life work. wrong? You don't address IT, it'll just go away.

The next week I mat our side door about to walk ah out to the car where my brother was waiting to go meet our parents for dinner. And as I open the door, I hear something spring through the kitchen toward me. No, I make terrified ee contact.

No, with my brother that clearly conveyed in my inner monogue of holy shit, i'm about to shuffle this mortal coil without my consent because some invisible boogie man is onna. Run me down right now before I finally came to my senses and slam the house store. Somehow this still didn't spotify me too badly.

I'll just keep ignoring IT and it'll go away. Yes, nope. Wrong again. Some time passes.

It's not the very end of october of my memory service, correct? Buckle up, my spooky bitches. This is where shit got real.

I think I already got all I can too. yeah. Well, when I told my romains this story, we slept with the lights on for two days. I I need to describe the way my family's houses laid out for you to clearly visualize what comes next. I was about to .

laugh my hat off at you.

I love my head. Or maybe i'm so scared that my hat just popped off to laugh off. Well, our kitchen had a back staircase that links up to the main staircase. It's super steep and runs right up to the dish rochers. So we don't use IT, it's just storage space for kitchen appliances and beverages.

So bave for I love a big we .

love a for can I decide not really quickly for Scott, like a home of our own, what the main thing he said to me that he wanted to do, he said, our house has to be a beverage choice. And I was like, what a big choice. And he said, I always want to have, like, a bunch of different beverages and and we we IT was very important to him.

Dream realized to dream realized. I open your friend to the other day and I said day and I said, oh my god, debate for you. My good. yeah. For the variety.

Anybody wants to sponsor us. We have a loney. We have holy pop, we have poppies.

We know i'm discriminate, but the good for your Tommy, so does. We have gathered for drew. We have orange juice of the time.

We have shelters for the market. We have the quality. We have the quarry.

It's what I was. Look right. I think it's a debate. My face.

H, I wanted .

a snack IT, but that doesn't worker there. I'm going to like leave help. It's really not hoping it's not, but numerous getting not on this site.

Oh, okay, well, thanks. Thank you. Please leave that IT. Anyway, this took this take a hard term. So our kitchen, as a backstory up, nobody said that averages. So base of, oh, excuse me.

for just the base of those stairs is .

directly address ice into the countertop that has the dish rocher that often in the sink. So I met the sink washing some pants from dinner late at night on the last one a week. Out of my preferred vision to the left, I can clearly see that staircase.

It's dark, obviously, as everyone's a sleep, I shit you not, my heart cease to beat as I see a figure at the top of that back staircase. I freeze sudsy hands up in all and hold my breath first, second, out of the corner of my eye, I clearly see a very all shadow figure. SHE spied with her a little high, bent down with his, no, this could not be real.

I know IT is, but with his hands on his knees as stuck out headcase all the way to the side to stare at me. He is in full working position, ready to shake. Some asked like a teen, not a problem in front of all their teachers and shape round, but he has his he had tiled, like like had turned to the siding talk so you can get a good .

look at little on the knees, but like he said.

hand on my nie shi .

can ask some of that ship a pic I kill up and go you saw I was good at first.

Well, I was not cool with being received by the sound shadow baard indefinitely. I did not want to be perceived and definitely not cool with his spooky s shaking stance. I D know, I know.

I sounds ded like some cool breath that who totally, I wasn't afraid, but homes, I was about three seconds today for melting to a pottle of fear in a victim's self from the property immediately. I don't believe me. I turned to confirm what i'm seeing, and it's gone. I love that somebody just came to shake us with you.

And the after my favorite was, and he didn't even shake us.

he just got to the he got ready to shake.

I think then he knew he was trying to see if you were ready yeah, like he was doing what the ghost's were doing in the amev l horror. They were like, are you ready for dance off like the marching band I think they were literally like, are you ready for IT and you said, huh he was like, you're not ready for IT. He just got out.

He knew .

you were ready for his working. He would got them off. IT was a Better, if you like.

You couldn't figured that out in the moment. I would believe with you. I have, you know, I literally watch tiktok videos. S to learn how how to work. Yes, I do. And I I can't do IT, so if anybody wants to help me out, call me, don't call me, but like TM TM and teach me how to talk, call me B B. If you want to teach her at work, if you want to teach you how at work, because I love magde's alien, and you have so many great songs to shake us.

to even do that like .

thing exactly. I don't want to put them back all. You got to just .

like stick ket to the front. okay? Well, I have to do IT. Yeah, of course. I S two, three.

I love IT. All right. So I never a back this.

And so it's halloween. Guys have some. I know for a fact. This wasn't some trick of the lighter my imagination. This was solid figure enough so that I was a hundred percent positive. One of my siblings was playing a paint on me and just standing there to scare me.

But now there was nothing there, so I finish washing dishes and went to my bed, forcing myself not to run. When I hit the landing on the stairs where he had been very cool, casual, mindful of me, very demere, very demere, very cute security. Weirdly enough, after all that things stopped for a while.

My Younger sister started to experience things though, like her foot being ing to sleeping at night. I want a way to college. No, I tried not to think of that when I visit home for our in our shared room, but that's the tale.

Now most of my friends refused to come to my family home. Oh, i'd come. You like i'm there, i'm there, i'll go shake us with that goes I learn at work ah ah and your friends are scared to come due to a fear that the spooky working tools still on my stairs.

I try hard not to think of him what I the last one up at night, but he hasn't bothered me since maybe I ignored him for long enough that he scored at all off hat. Someone else keep IT weird, but not so weird that I have to call you out. There are not so a weird that you don't shake us with the ghost on your stare.

I understand that that was a scary situation because, like, yeah, totally, if a ghost, a diamond, is trying to have a dance off with you.

you gotto show him what your mom, I can do, that shake what you gave you. You have to shake IT like a polar road picture, precisely. So you really need to.

But you know, what I probed would have been scared to and ran out of my house. So I would have been, that's my real me talking so tough. Me, like I do, I would throw.

I was thrown out as well. Okay, I love that.

See, I was my spooky calling laugh again. I really want to do.

H.

I don't like that. Like IT don't show this to jury. I think he would love john.

I sent a picture then because he was picking up the girl's from school and he just said, my god and then he said, when you said the picture of you into this and I said, twins and he said, totes my goals, I was like, you're going to be scared when I come down stairs he said.

you were cute little sad class but I think if he heard me laugh like that, he would not you would say, you are scare little fat and you would say.

good automobile presence. So my next listener tail is called hAllen listener tail, my ghostly x boyfriend and a new orland psych.

No, debby said, this is a beautiful tell, but that might make you cry. But I can't cry. I'm already crying.

No, deb, deb, this is from Chelsea. Chi, how Chelsea Chelsea um I be watching all the episodes of southern charm and there is a Chelsea. I love Chelsea yeah and the really terrible actually girl was like Chelsea when he was in when he was trying to explain why he was a dick.

Actually my name is Chelsea, who did actually was SHE book to and SHE book to. That's hard. And so this my name is Chelsea.

And as I mentioned above, i'm a louie and a girl. Hey, Chelsea, born in and raised just north of neurology, was raised catholic. And while I no longer identify as religious, I would say I am still quite spiritual.

My catholic upbringing, his left a few imprints on who I am as a person, and namely a deep seated belief in a higher power, whatever you want to call him or her, something greater than ourselves, a strong conviction that there is more to this world in the next, then we see, and or an understanding and an openness to signs and messages from the other side. Yeah, I actually love that. I think that's a that's a beautiful belief system.

That's pretty exactly what I believe. I I don't believe that i'm psychic or cavin anyway, but i've always ell to close this or openness to messages from loved ones who have passed on. And I could write another two, three listener tails just with stories of interactions with my grandma, mama, mam, after her passing OK.

So please write stories. Yeah, I got to to hear about mama. A more than ten years ago, I moved to houston, texas, after grad school to take a job and start building my career.

While living in houston, I met and started dating a nice greek boy named tedy teddy. Teddy was, and still, to this day, is the kindness person I ve ever met good, because I was like, we love teddy. And then I was like, do we love teddy? teddy? But i'm glad I don't have to fight teddy.

We would have squared up each other. We would have. But you know what? teddy? Good job. Hi teddy. Once, upon introducing teddy to a group of my friends, one of my friends asked me how I felt to be the worst person in the.

oh, you know, we're all out there. We're all out there somewhere. I'm the worst person in the relationship. Are you the words first of the relationship problem? Yeah, you are.

Yeah, you are. It's, I don't .

like I you right?

We're the worst to know. So once here we are, that's awesome. He was joking, but he was one hundred percent right.

Whatever trades that I imagine god uses to judge the goodness of a person, selflessness, loyalty, patients, eta. Teddy was off the charts. And that.

After dating for a Better year, I woke up one morning to find teddy having a full blown seizure beside me. Holy shit.

the turn you have that took a quick left after .

months of testing, doctors of visits and additional seizure, always at night and always in a sleep, we would find a brain tumor lodged in his right temporal lobe. We quickly scheduled surgery, and the tumor was removed successfully, identified as beni. Oh, good.

But unfortunately, the scissors continued. And when they did, I was always the only person there, since they only happened that night while we are sleeping. He lived with them.

I can't imagine that I really, you're Angel. He lived with them and managed his condition with medication as best as he could. I'm a strong believer that just because something is forever doesn't mean IT wasn't real.

My relationship with teddy is an example of this. After almost three point five years together, life was pulling the two of us in different directions. We broke up in one our separate ways, both sad, but with nothing but love and respect in our hearts for one another, and move fcu sana, and he stayed in texas.

The fact that you still say he's like one of the most kind people you is like such a mature relationship really is last forty years and a half. And I was dating the man whose spoiler alert is now my husband, David. Hey, David. J. J, J, J, J, J.

We were hard, but I just naked.

named her husband you. We were on our first big trip as a couple in mexico when I received a phone call from my best friend back in houston. No, no, my heart is about to no.

When I answered, he asked to speak to my boyfriend. IT struck me as weird, but I handed over the phone. When David hung up, I knew exactly that something was wrong.

David then had the devastating task of telling me that teddy was gone. He had passed in his sleep as a result of a seizure. He had been alone.

That's awful. I'll tell you one thing, ladies. IT takes a strong man to watch. The woman he loves grieve openly and savaged over another man. But he did.

That's another good one.

David, for a another great one. He held me while I sobs and screamed and blame myself. If I had only been there, if we hadn't broken out, I could have saved him. When I told him I didn't know what to do with myself for my thoughts.

he asked me to tell him about teddy. And I got a four body like.

what an amazing man. We spent the entire night talking about my x boyfriend with David, giving me all the space and support I needed to not crumble into oblivion. I knew after that night that I would marry David.

Hi yeah, you did. That's awesome. who? Okay, you're probably like, bitch. Get to the spooky park, which is exactly what i'm doing now but you needed the background context did appreciate you telling us the months following edy's death were weird, heavy IT sounds insane but I could feel him that doesn't say in saying at all.

Strange things were happening in my house, never threatening or scary, but I can feel his presence. Lights would flicker and on touch book on my bookshelf became mysteriously dog gear to a particularly meaningful passage that beautiful. So yeah, SHE literally .

wouldn't let me borrow her books because I dog ear the pages.

So I don't dog gear pages. I can know I mark early and I like my books to be in the right condition.

I think they look well. Love if they've been dog gear a lot. No.

it's it's a great I am going to say it's a great personal to do. We will do a pool. Yeah, we will.

Except up. I might lose that one. I I don't know. One time when I had a free vern chills, my ac broke, making my house a tosti eighty three degrees.

So once my favor broke and the chills went away, the ac turned back on like nothing had happened. It's just like, teddy, be taking care of someone from the afterlife. Ww, how lowe en.

night of that year, how lowe en.

how we, I happen to be back in houston on a business trip, I was invited to celebrate with some of my in tEddies mutual friends and headed over to their house for dinner. That night, a weekend thunderstorm came rolling through houston, knocking out the power of their house and generally using the spook factor. Since we are now dining by candlelight all through the evening, our host had music playing in the background via her phone.

At some point, her phone stopped working. And try as he might, the music would not come back on. We checked IT up to the storm, messing the service, and continued our conversation in silence for another thirty minutes or so.

Eventually, as we knew that would, the conversation turned to teddy. As the storm continued to rage, we discuss how much we all miss him and agreed on the general tragedy of the situation. I confessed the guilt I was Carrying around how, if we had broken up, I would have likely been there to in intervene.

I told them about the weird experiences I was having in my house. And that's when our host phones started playing music again on its own job, a completely different song and genre that I had been earlier. The song was a new or one I had heard in passing, but never really listen to the lyrics until that moment.

We all SAT in silence while the song played, each listening to the words and listening at each other with, and looking at each other with wide eyes. IT was happier by best deal. I love best deal.

Oh my god, I have goose. Um if you're unfamiliar, the lyrics are to pay phrase. Lately i've been thinking, I want you to be happier, even though I might not like this.

I want you to be happier. And so that means i'll have to leave. Oh my god, I my gu bombs. I, I felt the song is about a couple who is breaking up because they know what's best for them, even though they are heart broken, with the guy acknowledging that he is going to walk away so that he can be happier.

Everyone in the i'm like about to get everyone in the room was looking at me, some with goodbyes on their arms, some with tears and their eyes. And IT was clear that they were all interpreting the same message as I was. Teddy was telling me that he was okay, that he heard me, that he didn't blame me, and that he was going to back off with the ghostly shit.

Since I was freaking me out a bit, I immediately felt to weight lift off my shoulders. After that night, I did not feel his presence around me anymore. I felt that he had moved on to wherever he was supposed to be.

I didn't hear from him again until no, two years later, in october twenty two, twenty, in the midst of the pandemic, David and I were engaged, intense, timely planning our wedding. Thanks covet my spooky witch bachelor edc trave ages I, which was originally planned in salem massage. He said I would have to be cancelled due to travel restrictions.

Oh, so plan b was a bachelor at hello weekend here in lousianner, which is still I think that might even be Better yeah complete with outdoor social distancing friendly activities for a small group of my closest. And one of these activities was hiring a real life french quarter psychic medium to come retail cards for us as part of our glam. Arg, why didn't you invite me?

You invite us.

The OpenAIr w as a g ood s etting f or g roups a ctivities i n t he s weeping l ive a aes, or an excEllent backdrop for some viterbi feel so cozy just thinking about, he feels like a book. The psych began by reading terror for everyone in attendance, and this lady was the real deal. And then I SAT down and was crying with the first three sentences out of her mouth.

First thing he said to me before, even touching the cards, was, your people along the other side are very loud. They're telling me that you're worried you won't be able to have children, and they're telling me that that's not going to be a problem. IT will happen almost immediately.

Oh, this woman did not know me. He had no way of knowing that i've known since I was sixteen that I have a condition that could impact my fertility and that knowledge had hang over me like a dark cloud every day of my life. Spoiler alert, SHE was correct.

You didn't have any issue. That's amazing.

What's while to that's weird that you had that like feeling that you are worry about IT. I also had that feeling from a very Young yeah and it's like, I knew IT and I did have trouble. I know well, but then I got my babies.

Now, after reading terror, SHE transitioned into a medium ship session where SHE opened herself up to messages from the other side. After a few messages for some of my friends, all of which were scary, accurate, SHE suddenly said, i'm feeling the presence of a Young man and he's showing me a teddy bear with a tea on IT. I immediately went cold.

Edy's last name started with the tea, and one of his nicknames with teddy. t. SHE proceeded to tell me that he sees everything happening in your life, and he's so happy for you.

He supported my marriage. He likes David. He also added, he wants you to know that there's nothing you could have done. Two percent prevent what happened him, even if you had been there. IT was over so quickly and he wasn't scared or in pain.

He must like such a weed off your shoulder again.

seriously. SHE finally said, he wants you to know that you are the love of his life, and he's so grateful for that.

I'm gonna stop right now. Literally, I just close my eyes so that they wouldn't start forming tears. It's like actual tears.

Let me tell you, the sobs that left my body truly fall like the most beautiful gift of closure. Doing that, he was okay, knowing that he was happy and happy for me. It's an an experience that a stuck with me and will be with me forever. I now see teddy is one of my guardi and Angels up. They are conspiring with my mom and .

papa .

no maa watching over me and my beautiful growing family. David and I did indeed get pregnant almost immediately after our winning. Our sun was born two days after our first anniversary, and we are currently expecting our second sun. David continues to be an amazingly supportive partner and father to our children.

We still talk about teddy, remember his birthday every year, and we travel up to new england together to attend tty sisters wedding a few years ago, where we bonded, where he bounded with teddy is dad and stayed up until four. Him drinking with teddy is best friend. amazing.

David now loves study's family as much as I do, and we try to see them regularly. His family will be a part of our children's lives, and I planned to share his story with my sons. When they are old enough to understand, I think this is the most beauty, literally, of thing we've ever even truly. I hope they see that as an example of finding a beautiful silver lining around life starkest clouds proof that people come into our lives for a reason, and that not all love stories, and with forever, some love stories and in this world, but go on into the next. And I hope they see their father is an incredible an example, an incredible emotional maturity, a paragon on of non toxic masculinity, and an illustration of the kind of supportive partner they .

should strive to be one day. wow. yes. A H amazing.

This is for meggan meggan. Megan, I don't know, said like that. Now we will work on the head top next. Yeah, the that just made me really happy. All right, to probably tell this story I got so often .

in there to .

probably tell from me, what are you saying today that you like, couldn't guys? Guys, SHE couldn't start. Guys hit.

To probably tell this story, I need to start with the setting. This happened in twenty fourteen on the spooky est day of the year one, two, three. My family had moved about an hour away from our old house.

In twenty thirteen, the new neighborhood we moved to was known for halloween so much that people drove to trick or treat. There were even more noon for Christmas, which leads to a lot of traffic during holidays. But everybody passed out Candy and loads of people decorated.

To give some perspective, we would buy a bag of Candy every single time we went shopping in september and october just to have enough to pass out before the night ended. And sometimes that wasn't even enough. Wow, I want to go to there.

I do too, at the time of this particular halloween. And I was about to eleven, and my older sister, iron was around twelve. So we were still at the age return or treating with something we looked forward to.

We invited my sister's best friend, who lived in our way to spend the night trek, or treating with us since the nights hood was so known for being at the spot to go naturally, we had to coordinate costumes. Or what was the point? Iran, in her best friend, were tweeted d and tweet dumb.

But instead of fat suits, they were two tools and suspenders. I love that. I love that. That's great. Hi, I was Alice, and we're a little blue dress with a White apron and had a black boat tied in my hair.

We all looked very cute and unassuming, which are you very demum, very mindful, which is probably why we looked like easy targets that night. Oh, h, i'm scared. Now, to understand what happened, i'm going to give you a quick and simple layout of the nights hood.

We lived near the end of a long street that connected to two major streets in neighborhood, given minds that we had moved there recently and weren't super familiar with the area. However, IT was very safe in my mom, who always supervised outside, thought IT was fine for the three of us to go alone. While SHE stayed and passed out, Candy SHE helped us take an easy route of three streets that formed a triangle.

We would walk on the main street close to our house and then take a turn onto a street parallel to ours. From there, we would turn on to the other main street that connected to the one we lived on just to make our way back, even though this was a safe neighbourhood in the route, was, was simple. I was pretty terrified to go alone.

We had never done that, never done that before, let alone in a neighborhood. I was always the child who could hardly bear to be out of sight of an adult. It's literally your middle, yeah.

My sister, on the other hand, relished in the opportunity to have no supervision. And SHE and her friend were excited. You're older, you.

The night started off pretty Normal. IT was still light out when we left, but by the time we had gotten to the second main road, IT was dark. We have asked a good amount of kindi by that point, and we're about to turn back onto our street. However, this is when things got a little strange.

As we were about to turn back onto the street from the corner of my eye, I saw a loan chikor treated across the street. He was dressed in all black clothing and wear a halling clown mask that covered his whole face. scary.

I don't like that this by itself was an unusual. But what was strange is that he didn't have a bag to hold Candy. No, yeah, no.

Instead, he had a baseball. But no, I thought to myself, huh? That's odd.

Um huh? But he was on the .

other side of the route. So I was in a problem. Well, actually, IT was a problem, because pretty soon after noticing this person, I realized he wasn't a loom. TrAiling behind us was another person in all black and wearing that same clown halloween mask, obscure and IT, obscured his whole face. This president didn't have a bat, but instead was simply dragged a golf club along the sidewalk behind.

What the fuck? Where are? Where's anyhow?

What's happened? I'm scared. I, mom, pick me up. I'm scared. The rest all happened very quickly. IT was dark, and I don't know where they came from, but in the blink of an eye, the two people turned into three, then four, then five, then suddenly ten people were dispersed around the street.

They all wear the same .

clown masks and had bats or golf clubs, the ones on the other side of the street cross the road and came towards us. At the same time, the ones on the street got closer to us and forming a circle. No, we were surrounded. There were at least three on each side to the left and right of us, a few behind us, and one in front. They were dragging their clubs and banging .

their bats on the concrete. What like, truly like, fuck, get a life.

What is particularly strange, and something I do not understand to this day, is that the street was empty. I was thinking of this.

yeah, like, where is they're going adult.

to help you. This was the most popular, uh, neighbor od trick or treating. However, besides these strange boys and the looming darkness, we were the only ones on that street.

Was this something like weird, aborted, having ritual that your neighborhood, oh my god, maybe that was like the neighborhood we're going to scared the you can fuck and hang where they .

just waiting for someone to walk by when the street was clear, we're hiding. Did they have some sort of signal? yeah. However, the answers to these questions were relevant because the reality was they were getting closer by the second. If I reached out, I could touch one before my ARM .

was even fully straighten. Oh, no. Oh.

that's too much in my personal space.

of course. IT is, get out my fucking bubble. No fucking bubble. Get out.

I remember how I said that I was scared to go, and my sister wasn't. Yes, this is where that shifts I run in. Her friend, who in front of me, slow down and came closer to me.

We were all frizzled with this look, silently asked each other, what do we do? For some reason, that allows me to this day, the dominant emotion that I was feeling wasn't fear, but anger. Looking back, I should have approach this situation with more caution.

But I was pretty pissed. I would be too like, yeah, in my mind, these had to be igher hood boys picking on the little girls, wearing tutors and dresses exactly, and just trying to scare them. So fuck.

So I immediately decided that if they were going to try to get a rise out of us, the best thing we could do was not give them on. yeah. I whispered to my sister and her friend, keep walking.

yeah. And we did. What they didn't know was that we were on the street we lived on, so we just had to outlast them. Unfortunately for us, they kept walking too.

I want, I wanted junk punch every single .

x so hard to hit them with their golf club.

Yeah, like IT almost looks like a security .

detail for a celebrity except, you know, the fact that they were threatened. Accept a very weird one. Yeah, kind like pop ali, ah, in a situation like that, logic is the first thing we abandon.

We certainly had cellphones and could have called for help, but we just kept walking. Besides, even if we got our phones out, they were close enough to described them after what felt like several minutes. But i'm sure was only a moment I switched tactics. I must have heard this from some television show, but I turned to the closest one on my left and said, in the most intimate voice at eleven year th, I said in the most intimidating voice in eleven year old girl dressed as alison wonderland could muster.

I will cut you oh my god, I obsess. I will cut you. I really, I would get the fuck out of, believe them.

I believe that, I believe IT. Because anybody dressed as I was in onder land on their face, scary. Ah, you did the right thing. I cut you. That's right.

Then he said, this is embarrassing, but I hope that makes you laugh. It's not embarrass. You should not be embarrassed.

Chronic, I needed them to know that we were not scared and what they were doing wasn't working, so they should just give up. I didn't deter these boys, but it's certainly company. I didn't deter these boys, but it's served to and confidence to my sister and her friend.

They continue to walk. And when they got close to the mask person in the front, they've pushed him undt of the way with our heads up, but not thinking, I contact. We continued, because what else was there to do really? Yeah, we could start to see other chikor treaters. And the distance are not change then. And just as quickly as they came, these mass boys were gone without a trace, what they just like.

proofed into the air. So they just, you, and then, and then left, fuck them.

Don't room some like that. I'll find them, I will in junk punch. And one of them dressed like this house school with I .

love IT. The dread was replaced .

by flood of relief, and we were safe again after that. I don't think we resumed trigger treating and just went home for the night.

That's A R. I stand.

We did tell my mom what happened while we retreating Candy in the kitchen. SHE wasn't thrilled that we engaged with them, but wasn't too worried. IT did sink in later that night, to me at least, how that situation could have gone. soda. Yeah, I can't say I was particularly traumatized, but that was last year when chick.

or treating a whole that makes me sad. You were living. Yeah, that makes me really sad.

I was like fifteen when I stop treating I got to the point where people like we're not you're too for this yeah um however, halloy remains my favorite holiday and I celebrated every year. good. Thank you for reading this, and I hope everyone keeps that weird, but not to really use around children and try to scare them by being me, baseball bat and golf clubs, because that's just not cool.

Yes, I retold the story to my mom as I was writing this, and he seemed confused and said, was IT really that bad boys just follow you. I suppose that when we told her at the time, we left out a lot of detail, I guess. And when I ve accounted IT like that, he was appalled. SHE somehow didn't know about the weapons of the clown mask and said that if he did know that, he would have been on the hunt for these boys pair. Okay, goops.

I knew they had to be a missing links. Yes, because I was like, if my kins come home and tell me that a bunch of boys with weapons in cloud man around and then interact.

you, I know exactly what you would do.

You would do yeah .

SHE whatever early is that you always crunches ready and it's always so .

good and that would be be like of ladies stay at home and I D like mom and data we're gonna call tt i'm we're gonna go make some friends the neighborhood oh, I would and then we would never see those boys again like when I tell you like the rage I had for you yeah in that moment I wanted a fucking .

I know i'm writing and sending you this in july, but the spirit story that lives in my heart can no longer be contained in this weather super summer husk of any longer. I'm obsessed with you. I've never related to a sentence more truly in a small town on japan, southern most in largest island.

I hope I say this right kai issue. I believe it's khu. Yeah, I will leave out of out the prefecture in town, as I still live here and don't want to cause any potential embarrassing for parties involved.

I will call IT gold fish town because, as the nickname might may suggest, IT is famous for breeding around thirty different varieties of gold fish. Goldfish town represent, that's really cool and that's the fun, this fact. So a bit of background.

The first time I came to live in japan, I was working as an alt assistant language teacher. I worked at two elementary schools, one middle school, helping teach english in the clash classroom, the door in class room. IT was a wonderful experience in such a privilege working with the students and teachers.

Gold fish town always had two outs, and we split the schools as there was a total of two schools and four elementary schools. There were some quick maths for you ladies, which I will not be doing again. The all departments were literally right next to each other.

So mean, in the other old code name e or superb ties, we always hang out. Shared meals had many collapse, and the cries in each other, the apartment SHE is still a busy to this day. I right, I write her die bitch, which you'll definitely see in this story.

I, A final person to mention is our supervisor. No to plum spelling french. I loved IT. No to OK the sweetest woman alive and who we literally referred to, our our japanese mother.

He is super kind and friendly and always make sure we were looked after not to blum 好吗？ Okay, so let's get into the dirty deeds. What happened on halloween and five nights ago? Do to five years ago?

What happened .

on hello, I, how many in japan is more than adult holiday going out drinking, going to costume parties, which is fun. So we don't get little goolies and goblins running up to our doors screaming for the sweets or else threatening trick. I can't love that actually. I want.

I need the trigger treaters. No, I love the trigger treaters, but I hate driving on. I get. So, no.

all I have to. Yeah, yeah. Just won't yeah. Our apartments were on the second floor in building's, facing each other, a literal minute walk in a lot of huffing upstairs.

This allows en, we had both planned quiet evenings, me at home reading cozy mysteries from my october mystery, reda on drinking coco, the sector of fall and e at the gym being a ripped gotten. So I love how different, both of very amazing, we didn't have any plans to meet up the night that night. And other than e anyone else coming to my door is a big, it's going to be a no for me dog moment.

Yes, yes, yeah. Our apartments were around twenty years old, but thankfully I had a modern doorbell system camera where there was some, when someone ring the doorbell, I could see who I was on the screen in my kitchen for shadow wing. That's cool.

Quite handy for dodging the jail vez witnesses. Yes, they are out here. No shade. Just as I said, i'm a millennial hermit crab who wants to chill in her shell peace.

I feel that so i'm home alone at the my kitchen table, drinking coca, enjoying my book, feeling the holy halloween spirit when the door bell rings uh, knowing it's not E, I think maybe I was getting some turkle treaters painting him that I would have to share some of my time of the months, all the month stash can't chocolate with them. But what I see freezes my blood on the screen is a person. I can tell the gender as the closer baggie and the fact that they're wearing a large paper machine spelling french gan, you did great.

Uh, head. The head has painted on wide, staring blue eyes, a small neutral mouth, slightly open, no, and dark Brown hair party to the very serial killer style. I hate a very not cute, I cute, very not.

I stop breathing because i'm afraid whatever on the other side of the door will hear me. The door bell rings again, and I can see the head move closer that the door came like it's looking through the people get the fuck off my property. I slowly slide over the table where I left my phone.

After grabbing IT, I wait until my little door cam goes dark, and I hear footsteps or seed down the stairs outside. I think I stood there for a good five minutes my year, straining to hear anything but feeling the whole world is silent and only I exist. That's beautiful.

That is beautiful. You are a writer. Yeah, I run back to the screen to take a picture of the figure to send A E, telling her not to worry.

I'm alive. But this thing was at my doorstep. And if he could come back from the gym, I would love her forever like the true queen SHE is.

SHE immediately called me, saying, there should be there in fifteen minutes and to stay put with a knife in hand. Next, I message our supervisor. K, the photo. Now, I know, I know at this point, you guys are all screaming to call the police.

I was kind of thinking in my head a little bit. I was, but I was judging you yet.

I wasn't. But honestly, I didn't know what constitution, an emergency in japan. Fair enough, fair enough. And where my japanese is conversational, how do I explain that a soul sucking paper, Michael demons, stood outside my door. Hard 姐。

K also called immediately and said he and her husband were on the rain over. Thankfully, they live five minutes away, so I didn't wait long to get a message saying they were coming up, and I will never forget them coming up the stairs if I had been so scared at the time, I would have left. K, my five foot tall supervisor is running up the stairs calling for me, followed by her six with three husband cigarette dangling cave early on the one side of his mouth and a golf club slung casually over.

is show the fucking icon. That's what you is, a good club for not to scare a little to people.

to girl, yeah. Does anyone else smell a potential ghost hunting? D slaying show? Pitcher, kind of me, a great show.

And you, he's always got to have a cigarette or like a tooth pick. yeah. Anyway, back to the paper. My hade waking nightmare. I told them that I had no idea who this person was and showed them the picture, which they agreed was really fucked up.

By that time, I had returned home and also came roaring up the stairs ready to slap this kindergarten craft project gone wrong, assured her I was okay and said, you should check the door, came to see if they came to her door, too. They had in since SHE had been visited by crafty killer T. M.

I spent, I spent the night at her place over the next few days, weeks I was on higher. I was always waiting to hear the door bolt ring and see that face again. But whoever had had been never came back.

And I eventually settled down a bit. That's when they strike. Fast forward to before Christmas, E N. I were having a small Christmas party with our gold fish town.

All sambi a term of respect used for a person who is usually older, more experience than you at life, job a and her husband, where that's who they were. There was a pear. They were v was the predecessor at my school. But SHE still lived in goldfish town and had met and married her husband there too. We had decided on doing a pot look, dinner apartment, and everyone arrived with plenty of Young and toe love exactly as long as you know the people.

If I know you, you're kitchen and i'll eat IT. If I haven't seen your kitchen, I want IT.

As we got to prepping, we were just chatting and catching up when e brings up the halloween incident about how creepier was and how scared we had all been. After that, dinner was almost ready, and we were about to sit down when these husband started whispers ing to her in japanese. I'm nervous.

I couldn't really hear what what they were saying. But he then said louder in english, i'm sorry, just say i'm sorry by this point. E and I were blatantly dropping those eves and asking if everything was okay when vz husband said, i'm sorry on halloween, that was me in the mask. Shut up. I love that I came up at a Christmas .

dinner and that he was like, I don't know.

and I was fucking dumb struck gob marked flag gust, another big shocked words I couldn't fucking believe IT IT was you, why? Why did you come here on halloween wearing that mask? Each one on to tell me that he and vive had made halloween goody bags and wanted to give one to me. He.

I love that I was like, a good cause, fear and you were scared .

red for month. I was so pure. The reason he didn't show up to ease place was because he didn't know which apartment he lived in.

My apartment actually used to be these old place in her old days, so he was hoping that I would tell him when I answered the door for my treat. But why that terrifying D I V? Why serial killer face, one of which has had to dracula eth.

Wou'd gotten his trick or treat intentions across just fine, honest, sly. Currently, the mask is for one of his favorite movies, a movie called Frank starling, Michael fast spender, who plays our lead singer in a band. And he wears the best because he gives him the confidence to perform due to his mental health issue.

And I love that .

you can offer this is, this is iconic.

But so this .

is Larry. I don't think I, if I can never see that movie because about the most cares, the living ship, scary. They attached a picture.

But you know what h said? It's very good. IT sounds like that would be.

I attached a picture of the mask from the movie, but ages was handmade, which somehow made IT more terrific. Yeah, that usually does happen. Appeared tly.

H really wanted to participate in how we mean review. And now there was IT. We're enough americans to do IT. We all had a good laugh about IT none's ly. I'm glad we could solve the halloween mystery.

Sorry to pull the spooky rug from under you, ladies, but I hope you gave you some good goose mps and laugh. Thanks for reading my story. And I hope you keep IT weird, but not so weird. They make your own paper machine head from an obscure Michael fast pender film and try to drop off halloween treats in a country that doesn't really celebrate halloween, thus scaring the living shit out of you.

Weird or OK. Love you. bye. I don't think we consume, but this is the, is the that would fuck me.

That so scared that would fuck me right up? Yes, but the fuck right.

the fuck. B, that was so good. And picture that hold me now be I want to been shit my bans along with you be a what a dad I love that that's like a rock stars mask and love IT he's got he's got ta figure out the band ghost, oh my god. All right. Last one, you guys .

I go back and we listen a multiple episodes, some because you cover them so well, some because they're hilarious coral, and most because I just love the sound of your voice, my top that calls you to go girls, because he hears you talking in the car, but he can't see a 文本。 When I discovered your podcast, I came home and told my husband, I have found my spirit best.

I'd love that. Thank you. Are you. So houses.

And very much a mix of the two of you. Ash, Steve nicks is also my fairy, which he got mother. And I too hate the heat, love all things spooky and hunting, and suffered from my grains. Bitches.

well, yeah.

bitches 吃 那个。 讨厌。 I truly feel like i'm hang out with the girls on a listening the year show. And IT fills my social cup.

I love that. Thank you, man. You really are meant to be our best.

You are because we don't really love.

we don't like.

My social cup is like a shot. It's like, so yeah, are IT so on to my story? This is a story so many of my friends know or friends of my friends know, and they still talk about IT to this day and our old age as we remember about our youth, full sion elegance from early high school and even medical school elder milenio Younger milenio not jensie first .

jene so milenio milenio no. Like, is that what you're? No.

it's just millennium. Al, just the Younger years. The land is made up. I saw a real generation.

Yeah, there you go. I'm going to fight you.

Before we get into the details, I must give you some backstory on where the morning scary movie loving, terror chasing halloween devotion an comes over in my family, my grandma march more of that marge. My dad's mom was a huge horse, an, and collected pretty much everything he could, horrified, from sticker SHE put in sticker books to cups, and even a chucky doll that moved on its own. Okay, marges awesome.

March forever. March forever. Yes, I shot you not. And I have cousins to back me up on this, but that's for another time. That's awesome.

I saw some horn vii's way too Young, as did a lot of my family members. On my dad side, he was one of five kids. So it's gotten pretty large with the kids having kids and then those kids having kids.

And IT has started many traditions, even though my grim mar march passed away when I was still pretty Young. I'm sorry, my family attributes our love of the spooky sookie to her as its trickle down our family line. This is what you have to look forward to. Yes, as I note after he passed away, I for some reason wanted the chucky doll. And my dad response was, well, don't come crying to me if IT comes after you in middle of the night.

Dad's sounds awesome.

We look to say that five year old did not take the all and now sits in my own spaceman in atlanta a now this spooky devotion hasn't stuck with every family member, but most of us share the love of halloween and all the things that encompass that. Now to the meat, potatoes and am wink in cash. All the growing up in only child, my dad was like, fuck that multiple sibling shit.

My parents always allowed me to have friends over, mainly because IT keep me entertained and out of their hair. But I digress. My parents has became a spot that all of my friends knew they could come to over the years, show up unannounced and just chat, have spur the moment, play day or sleep over, or even a large gathering of friends.

And your parents are great. No, that's awesome. Halloween was always hosted at my house, and my parents went all out. Yes, decorations, treat so many pizza, snacks, scaring movies, hello, blockbusters. IT was always a blast. We would do haunted hay rides, spooky k box to trail of terror, haunted houses, you name, they took me and truck loads of my friends. You can't wait.

One of these particular ho ween weekends was when I was a freshman in high school, a large group of my friends and I went to see the new texas chain of aska and theatres, followed by multiple movies at my house. With all the fixes we rented, yes, rented the original texas chains on movies, among others, and hungered down in my parents basement, lights off, of course, and got cozy. Now, picture IT, one of those huge comfy couches and giant chairs that could fit like four people on IT and even more people on the floor.

And i'm sitting on the end of the couch closest to the wall and tiny window that peaks outside. After a while, I thought I heard something outside and asked anybody else here that, of course, they else said, no, I was probably just the movie since we were watching a chainsaw movie. And I thought I heard a chainsaw that will do IT.

I just shook my head, thought I was hearing things and kept watching the movie. A few more minutes later, I heard the noise again, but I was very clearly not the movie. And I had snapped to the tiny window above my head where I could tell IT was pitch black outside so I couldn't see anything.

So I said, seriously, you guys didn't hear that and they said, no ager and you're dumb. You're trying to scare. There's nothing there.

Three times the charm, a few more minutes later, I heard this worrying noise again, and this time my best alease also heard IT. At this point, we pauses the movie and all anxiously awaited to hear the sound again. Nothing came.

Quick side note, earlier in the evening, my friends and I were talking about the shit that always happens in scaring movies like, let's split up or let's took up, or let's go investigate all the classics, right? So my buddy alex jokingly said, let's go investigate. And we all learn up the stairs that LED right out the back door to our drive way and backyard.

Keep in my zero, at least ten of us, if not more, and at least, and I were the last ones out the door. It's pitch black and incredibly quiet IT. And we immediately regret this decision as they do in the movies. Of course, our backyard was wide open to the other yards, no offences in the driveway wrapped on the house with lights on the side that we're currently off as alex and a couple other brave dudes walked slowly around to look down the driveway, slam goes the back door behind me and click goes the lock. Moments later, the lights on the side of how switch on and in the driveway is a giant six foot four man with a mask and a chain saw slowly hobbling towards us, ready to tear us all apart in the commoner.

i'm obsessed.

but he was as if a small drop of water landed among answers. We all went in different directions. Some screamed and ran through other backyard, some present terror. And some of us, like Alice and I, tried to frantically get back in the house.

but I was locked. I love that you discovered in that moment who everyone was in the heart movie. Like, you can not. The debate is done. You know who? Like, it's no longer like, oh, you would be the person who does this in the horn movie like, no, you would be the person who runs in the next year.

I would run into the next year. That's your best. But as we were all trying to appear, pants involved the insane ont of junk food we consumed, and many of us had dispersed.

The man takes the mask off in a giant, and when the giant grin, my dad starts to laughing, history ally your dad forever your dad, i'm obsessed. I love him. My heart starts to slow a switch as my mother unlocks the back door. Is also directly both very, very proud that their .

plan was something as they should be parents for, not parents concerned, so obsess. Wow, my brother did this first boyfriend. And after watching to exchange massa, actually incredible.

IT took a bit for all my friends to gather back up at my house. As you can imagine, one of the guys lived on the block behind me, so he literally just went home, 然后 to resume our evening。 But IT was safe to say, my dad said a precedent that night, and IT was one that none of us have ever forgotten.

My dad, no one is big, not as big wave around town is always someone people remember and recognize. And this just solidified his legacy. Now that I have kids of my own, I have some goals to reach.

And at some point I have to top this. You got to i'm still friends with several people from that night, and we all like to talk about IT and tell the story to relive the trauma of my dad scaring a shitless to this day. Even those that weren't there know the story and now know who big wave is.

Big wave, big way, like big wave, big wave, big wave. Anyways, that's my tail.

I hope you enjoyed IT. We did. We did. And I hope big wave gives you something new to aspire to you.

which is big. My god, this is my new goal. Post big wave fund, a five ever big way for, like the way, guys, those were awesome. Oh my god, was so much for what a beautiful mix of terrifying, hilarious and so touching.

I'm so glad that we got to get all dressed up and hang out with you guys that were really going to do this again because this is just too fun, too fun to read these tales. I love this as other people. I'm thinking about what I am ready thinking about IT. So hopefully this is the beginning of something fun. And we hope you guys liked IT, and we hope keep listening, and we hope you keep.
