Answering that question, if you saw the words, enter if you dare or you'll be scared, written on the front of a house, would you move in that house? Well, I look at it this way.

1:00It could be a real gem fixer-upper, but obviously it's going to take some fixing up and to do. Me? I would be like, no. No, I wouldn't. No, it's an Isle of House, but no. There's a reason. You know it's going to need a lot of work. And I think it was written in crayon or something like that. It's like, I don't know. Like, enter if you dare because they're spirits or enter if you dare because it's like, you know, a really bad shape and the floor could cave in and kind of enter if you dare. Yes. So either way, that's not a good scenario. No, it's not. Because that just seems like kind of a warning. And maybe you should heat it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure enter if you dare would fall under, you know, dire warning. Like, you should at least think about it. Stand there for a minute, be like, hmm, wonder if I should heed that. Hmm, I'm not sure what I should do about that.

2:00Well, I'll share the story with you. It says, yeah, this is Miguel from Southern California. I've had a few experiences I want to share and will leave the names out. These take place back in 2007 to 2010. When my girlfriend, my girlfriend now wife, my son and I were living in my parents, single story home near Realtto, California. This small house, my parents were renting out, didn't have a creepy feeling to it. But mostly everyone who lived there had an experience. One night around 9 p.m. I was sitting at a computer in the living room. The only light was from the TV and the computer. My son was sleeping on the couch. She was five at the time. The front door was open during the evening because it was the summertime and the breeze would keep the living room cool a bit. My parents were coming back in from walking the dog and were a couple houses down when I heard my dad whistle and yell something. So I got up, I walked out the out of the already open door onto the front porch

3:04by that time my parents were reaching the house and my dad asked me, why was my grandson running out here with no shoes on? Puzzled I said, what are you talking about? My father then continued to say that when he was a couple of houses away, he saw it looked like my barefoot son run out of the house down the driveway about three car lengths, then turned back around, run into the house, and that's when he whistled and yelled to my son to get back in the house and put shoes on. Well, that didn't happen. We were all creeped out and had shivers go down our spines. When I told him that my son had been sleeping for a couple hours and I was next to him the whole time and I would have seen him or heard him get up. My son was the only child in the house at that time. Then on another night, my sister and female cousin who were between 14 and 16 were asleep on one of the bedrooms, were asleep in one of the bedrooms,

4:05each had a twin bed to sleep on. My cousin was sleeping and turned from lying on her side, facing the wall to her other side, facing the middle of the room, when she felt someone staring at her. She opened her eyes and saw a face staring back at her right in front of her. Startled, she set up quickly, rubbed her eyes, turned to look back to where she had seen the face and it was gone. This happened in a matter of two seconds. She said it seemed to be child's height, but couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl as it happened so fast. The same cousin on another night, a couple of years later, was sitting in a car parked across the street from the house, around 2 a.m. with a friend, listening to the radio and conversing when she happened to look at the driveway to the house and saw what looked like a small black grocery bag. Move up the driveway along the ground toward the house and grow in size to about four feet tall

5:05and disappear between the house and the front of the car that was parked up against it. She said there was no wind and she didn't tell her friend what she had seen for fear of being ridiculed or made fun of. That's weird, there's two things happen on the driveway. This last experience is a head scratcher. This involves my wife and me, simultaneously, while asleep around midnight. I will try to explain this as best as possible so I apologize if this doesn't make total sense. I will start with my experience. I was asleep lying on my back in the living room floor, on the living room floor next to my wife. I dreamt that I'd open my eyes and saw an apparition, hover from the dark hallway, then over the couch that my son was sleeping on, stopping parallel and directly over me. I snapped out of the dream and when I woke, I was already sitting up looking over at the couch into the dark hallway where the entity came from.

6:08I don't remember sitting up. I only remember the dream and the point of when I was sitting up staring into the hallway. So could have been a dream, a scary dream, but that could have been a dream. So then it says my wife then kept asking me what was wrong and I was silent for a minute. As I was confused and was thinking was it a dream? And then I said nothing's wrong went back to sleep. Now my wife's experience, while she was sleeping, she said she felt a menacing presence of something as if someone was face to face with her and as if she didn't like her being there. She was very uncomfortable and tried to wake up. When she did wake up, she saw me sitting up looking over at the couch toward the dark hallway and that's when she asked me what was wrong. That parishioner, my dream looked like an all-man wearing a tattered cloak and was translucent with a whitish glow.

7:08Kind of like the Sith Lord in Star Wars, am I saying that right? You know this story. Yeah, you are actually well done. Thank you. Only I hadn't seen a Star Wars movie until recently. The next morning is when I asked my wife if I remember... Oh, sorry. The next morning is when my wife asked if I remember freaking out last night. After talking about it, we realized our dreams happened at the same time and we woke up close to the same time and had the same feeling. I think that this entity came over the couch and looked at me face to face then over to my wife and somehow while in a dream state, we were able to pick up on it. We haven't lived in that house for many years, but we still talk about our experiences. I would love to hear your opinions on this and what you might think was going on at the house. I think there was a child and another entity that was trying to communicate to whoever was living there.

8:10I want to add that when we moved into the house and while we were living there on the front of the house underneath the window were the words, enter if you dare or you will be scared. These words looked like a child wrote it and with red crayon. We assumed that one of the neighbor kids wrote it as it was heavily... as it was a heavily populated neighborhood and didn't really think much of it until now. I love your show. Listen to it at work every day. I have a few more stories. I'll send those in another time. Miguel. So... After you've worked the whole story, do you have some different thoughts? Well, no. I think they're sort of connected. Okay. And that is that whatever this entity entities is or are, I think they are tapping into dreams. And when the child runs out of the house down the driveway and back again, right?

9:11It went back again. I have heard stories of what I guess maybe we would call an astral projection only that an entity appears to someone in their dream and says, come with me. And you go with them, you follow them, and then you're out walking... You know, outside of your house or in the grass or wherever with them. And I'm thinking, I'm wondering if this entity approached this child in a sleep, coaxed him out because like people will say that they really saw this person outside. It isn't just like, you know, it's in your dream, you're just dreaming this. But people will say, yeah, we saw you yesterday out in the grass or over here or wherever it was that they went and the person wakes up again in their bed and people say, we saw you.

10:16See, I think it might have been a child's spirit, not necessarily their kid. Because mom and dad are walking the dog, their couple houses away when they see this. So it might have just been the same size or it could have been mimicking the size of the kid and look like the kid. But it wasn't. Heck, it could have been even something much darker, you know, mimicking things and making the things. I was thinking it was him. Whatever it was was coming to everybody in their dreams. See, and I think there's... there are two different things going on. I got the feeling there's like a kid spirit and then I got the feeling... Like the dream thing, I do think is weird that it does sound like it happened at the same time to them. Like he woke up because he saw something, she woke up, she sees how he's sitting there looking. You know, so it does seem like something happened to them while they were asleep. But that seemed dark and menacing and something else.

11:19That didn't feel good. Yeah, well I don't know. I just feel like this might have been some sort of astral projection in that really was his child. And he got to the end of the driveway and then got scared and realized and then headed back to the house to get back. Yeah, that's deep for me. Astral projection is just one of those things I kind of can get. But for the most part, I really don't. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around it. Well, I'm, you know, I mean... I guess it's as good as mine. Because I just think that the parents saw and thought it was their grandchild. Yeah. But I can get astral projection. I could do it and I could be in a spirit form, but not like anybody seeing me. That's the part that... I mean, this is kind of the... You have to believe in lots of different possibilities when you're talking about the things that we're talking about.

12:25So, you know, but I have heard this where people say, you know, I saw you. And they're like, no, I was at home asleep. And then, no, I saw you. I don't know. There is like a Taylor Swift doppelganger out there. So there could be people who just look like you. Maybe. Have you seen the Taylor Swift girl? She keeps popping up on my Instagram feed, but she looks exactly like Taylor Swift. And she does that intentionally too. She does her makeup or hair, everything that she looks exactly like Taylor Swift. I don't know. I don't know about that. I definitely think there's something going on in that house. Do you think that written in crayon on the house is just creepy? I just don't know if I would see a house and that would be written on it. And then, because I get so scared anyway, that every part of me would be like, you can't live here.

13:25That's a warning. So I don't think I can do that. Well, and I think for a lot of us, it would be, you know, that we would think that. But they apparently were like, oh, some kids, you know, I can see that. I can see that. Goofing around wrote that and didn't pay any attention to it. So I can see, you know, that in retrospect, now they're thinking of it a little differently. That's right. Well, here is our next caller. Here you go. Hi, this is Ashley and I'm in Nashville, Tennessee. And I had a quick story I wanted to tell you. So in my past, I've been able to predict saying, be a dream. It's not world events. It's mainly events that apply to myself and to my life. And so, I also have visitation dreams as well. Past family members are able to visit in my dreams. And usually in the dream, it will be just me and the family member.

14:29And they're not talking, but maybe I'll see things or just conversate with them. But anyway, so one night, it was during the COVID pandemic, you know, we're at home. We're not doing anything. And my husband and I were in the kitchen talking. And he did something that I didn't really care for. And it kind of resulted me into feeling alone. No one to talk to. Some women might understand what I'm talking about when I say this. But anyway, so I went to bed that night. I was so broken and hurt and just, I felt alone. I didn't know who to talk to. Like my grandparents on my dad's side are mainly the people that I consider my parents. And so, my parents would just give me some like 1950s answer to my problem. And so, I went to bed crying. I haven't done that before.

15:29Really, and I maybe lost my bed that was in high school. And so, I go to bed with all this anxiety, tears, everything. And I get a visitation. And it's my grandma on my mom's side. And so, I feel this wave of just like relief. And anxiety gone. And I get kind of scared to say, whoa, you're dead. Why am I seeing you? And then I hear a voice saying, it's your family. It's okay. And I'm like, oh, that's right, how silly. And I can't help myself. I remember in my dream, I was like, oh, that's a silly. I'm embarrassed. Why would I even think that? And so, we had this. We didn't have a conversation. I talked to her. But it was more or less just going to anxiety go away. And it got me thinking, is anybody else in my family really still this? And so, I reached out to my grandpa who's still living on my dad's side. I was like, hey, do you guys have this?

16:29You know, I predict things. I can talk to family members. Do you guys have this? And my grandma responded by saying, your grandpa has, but for work things. And she didn't really elaborate on more. I asked my living mother. And she said, no, no one on our family had that thing. So, I'm like, cool, we go. And so, just the other day, I have two kids. My oldest woke up from a dream from sleep and said she had to dream her glasses broke. I'm like, girl, your glasses are on the windowsill. It's fine. I said, no, no, no, no, no. I had to dream my glasses broke. My glasses broke. And I'm like, okay, well, I get the glasses and I get them from my husband. He looks at them and he goes, the broken glasses are broken. Which would have been weird because my daughter would definitely have bought it up the night before. That's just how her character is. So, I just thought it was kind of funny that after I had written stories in the past, you guys,

17:29I just thought it was funny how just remembering on my past life that, by looking at your podcast, I'm finding more about my family tree when it comes to predicting things or visitations. But that is my story. I have more that I could certainly submit, but that's it. Thank you. Bye. So, we've had that conversation before about things like that kind of being passed down generationally. So, I mean, definitely could be. Oh, yeah. But I definitely the part that made me laugh the most is she didn't want to talk to her grandparents because she thought they'd give her some kind of 1950s advice. I mean, yeah. Sometimes some of the best advice is 1950s advice. It's pretty black and white, you know, it's this or it's this. Sometimes that is good advice. No, I think that's really interesting.

18:30Now, when she's talking about prediction dreams, is she talking that she might, she sees into it's she's seeing future events in her dreams. Well, things like, you know, the glasses being broke or, you know, just something that happens. And I don't know that it's a big thing like she could predict some war starting or something like that. No, she said it was things in her life. Yeah. But, you know, does she see this thing, you know, in her dreams that happens and then it happens. That's my guess. Okay. Because, you know, when I'm trying to get my head exactly around prediction dreams, because it could be that or it could be that you've gotten hints that something maybe is going to occur or, you know, maybe people are telling you things. So, I just wasn't sure whether she sees it or whether she's told it or exactly what. I think in your dream, it could probably present in a number of different ways. You know, maybe it just, it is real obvious.

19:31Maybe it's kind of more like a dream like and then you interpret it. Maybe it could be a little of both. But I do like the idea of, you know, being upset and a loved one comes to you in a dream to come for you. I think that's beautiful. Oh, I do too. And once again, I think you could tell the difference if you're having a basic dream, even if it was a basic dream and you just dream that your grandma showed up to give you some comfort or if it felt more like a visitation dream and I think hers feels like visitation dreams. I do too. Yeah. Because there's just times you need your grandma to be like, hey, you got this. I know time's suck right now, but you're okay. Sometimes you just need to hear that. Yeah. I wish we all were able to have that. Well, I've had it before. But you know, on a regular basis, like when you need it, I think that would be nice. That would be nice. I would like that very much. Yeah. And when it happens in a dream, it isn't frightened.

20:35Well, I mean, sometimes like in her dream, she was a little at first. Oh my god, you're dead. And then, you know, she heard, you know, don't worry, it's family. It's okay. And then she was, oh, that was silly for me to fret about that in the stream. But I think sometimes like, you know, we've mentioned before seeing an apparition or seeing them there would be maybe way over the top that most people couldn't handle that. Right. But coming to you in a dream would be one way that they could more gently talk to you. Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that because it would scare the shit out of you. Yeah, it would. And you know what, we got enough going on. We don't need the shit scared out of us by our loved ones. No, it's just too much. So if you have a real ghost story, share it with us.
