Episode Details

This week I'm going to just put the stories out there on the podcast M - F and then put them together for a Saturday night premiere. If you've been watching the livestreams you'll know that my dog and neighbors aren't very livestream friendly so we'll all still be able to chat, but I'll be in the chat with you. Perhaps I can livestream on Sundays for fun. I might even have a 2nd channel for that so they're impromptu and people who don't enjoy livestreams aren't bothered by them. Surprisingly, there are quite a few people who just enjoy the stories and no fun blabbing :)Enjoy!---Good evening, it's Spooky Boo Rhodes, also known as Nightmare's Mistress on YouTube.

I assume he woke up from a nightmare and it just kept going. He finally took a deep breath and said "I was sleepwalking, I'm ok" and went back up to his room. Then the weirdness started.One night I was down in the basement doing laundry and I heard a small child's voice behind me say "Hi there!" When I turned around, no one was there. At that point, we started finding toys in the basement in obscure places. My first thought was that the children who lived there before had hidden them in the crevices in the walls. Then one day I noticed a box of old marbles appeared where I had just cleaned. None of the toys belonged to my kids.I also set up a cheap dollar store alarm system around the office area so I knew when the kids would sneak into the office to try to find birthday and Christmas presents. Little stinkers! They did it often. One day, when I was in the bathroom, the alarm went off. I yelled from the bathroom, "Hey, get out of my office!" Since my son and I were the only ones home, I heard him yell from upstairs, "I'm not in your office!"As time went by we could hear a piano playing at night that I thought might be the neighbors and sometimes the lights and ceiling fan would go on and off. I blamed old lighting. The front door would sometimes open if not double locked. I told the woman who own the home before the new landlords bought it as our kids were friends. She told me the reason why she put the double lock on the door is that someone would open the door at night and the reason she finally sold the house is because of all of the weirdness surrounding it, including the piano. (and this paragraph was pasted over another paragraph at the end that I wrote and is now gone?)After that, we started looking for another place to live. It was during this time that really strange stuff started happening. My kids would feel like they were getting pushed up the stairs when going up and then one night while my son was asleep in his room he heard an old woman's raspy whisper from the closet saying "I'm going to kill you!" The kids would see shadows of figures going from our back porch area to a small building that belonged old house next door that was supposedly a candy store that burnt up inside years before but the outside remained undamaged.At this point, we moved.
