Spooky Stories || Father Knows Something Podcast

Growing up my grandpa had one of those singing fish hanging on the wall. It sang “don’t worry be happy”. Me and my brother played with it constantly any time we visited. In 2021 my papa was meeting the end of his life. He was in the icu and was fading in and out. He was made comfortable and reached the flatline. After holding his hand at the end I left the room to catch my breath. Went to the lobby of the hospital. Another person who was in the lobby cell phone rang, their ringtone was “don’t worry be happy”. I lost it but was so comforted, I knew it was a sign.

My dad passed last year. I told him after passing that if he's happy to send me a mouse (I don't really live in a place where there would be any mice). I scoffed when I said it because if you knew my dad, he's not the hocus pocus type. I'm also not someone who looks for signs because we're latching on to something to make us feel better. I forgot this almost as quickly as I said it. A couple months later had completely forgotten I had done this and was having a hard time with family and feelings. My best friend called me to ask for some advice. She had found a small nest of field mice at her office and said "something told me to call you because you'd know how to care for these little guys so we can relocate them". She kept me utd on how they were doing till the weather got warmer so she could release them. The day she released them, my secret request to my dad came back to me! Did he have my best friend show me his sign?! I like to think so

[@kaylacouponsdaily8719]

My best friend of 17 years died in 2015 & I was pregnant with my son, and I happen to be dreaming of her the same night that she passed away… It was a very normal dream. We were kids and we were coloring on paper plates in the kitchen with her grandma and all of a sudden she got a phone call… she stepped outside while she was on the phone and I followed her outside. She asked me to leave because “ she didn’t want me to hear this” And I woke up to the news that she passed away. Something about being pregnant always made me have CRAZY dreams but this one was too wild. I had one more dream of her after that but it was a little darker.

[@rhiannonmari1096]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sure she looks over you and your son xx ❤️ crazy dream also

[@Amber-yq9ee]

Awwww. Thats very sweet & sad! Bffs are sometimes hard to come by! I always lived the quality over quantity fried motto. We had a very small circle of good friends & in our circle we all had our specific person. Actually its funny u mention that, when me & my bff were in HS she had a dream her & I were shopping in Walmart together for Dinner w\my toddler son & debating ICE cream flavors. It was a random weird dream & 1 we chalked up to seeing or hearing something. I had bfs all thru school but I was "infamous" for being a virgin & staying that way. (Random I know & yes I was raised in Purity culture but that was more defense. By the time I was 11yo I had DD breasts & very curvy. So, I ALWAYS had boys & older guys & over grown men commenting on my tits as if it was their right. Wanting to touch me & calling for me to flash them. I've been called EVERY Nick name to do w\breasts including the long lived "Tig-O-Bitties"🤢🤮 So giys were always wanting to screw me & i didn't know that my remaining "pure"🤮 was a draw! But I was bound & determined not to Date a guy who only wanted to nail me. (So to stay) Wow I'm getting WAY off my point. Sorry! Anyways & easy rule of thumb I had was to just NEVER date a guy if they made ANY cmt abt my breasts at ALL to their friends or anyone & it actually served me very well. The guys always cared about me & not just BOOBS! My point for that Long tangent is that there was NO ACTUAL reason to think of me being pregnant so young bc I wasn't having sex & hadnt planned to. Ffw a yr down the rd & 2y into dating my now husband of nearly 19y, & I got preg my sr yr of HS. Literally the 1st time we ever had sex. So yes I'm a very trite statistic! 🤣 So my friend & I thought that was kinda funny & chalked it up to coincidence. Ffw 2 &½more years & she's just gotten married & I go to her house bc they just got married & moved in & decide to cook dinner for them at their place so we go to Walmart w\my now almost 2y old son & we're standing there debating if we get ice cream for dessert or no while my baby son chattered happily & pointed to his fav ice cream. Both her & I immediately stopped & looked at each other like OMG 😳🤯 still most likely a coincidence but it was just such a specific dream that really wasn't preceded by any meaningful trigger. I obviously didn't see what she saw just her explaining but she was also VERY mindblown & a liitle spooked maybe bc she Said that the image of us in the store was pretty much EXACTLY how she dreamt it yrs ago & it was so vivid it stuck forever. Now I know ppl exaggerate but even when are had the dream it REALLY stuck out bc of how vivid it was & she described it to me too. Also, you'd have to truly KNOW my bff to get why this wouldn't be a thing she'd make up or exaggerate. She was definitely a TON more the shy, reserved, Christian goody 2shoes more than me! But I was never shy or quiet & a bit more wild than her in how outgoing I was. I saw it as my mission in life to bring her out of her shell tho I'm sure I traumatized her in the crazy scenes I put her in w\my antics. But anyways, so she never really believed in supernatural or paranormal except for how it related to God which was forbidden or demon in our Cult😉ure! So, she'd never make up something like that. Anyways, sorry got the VERY long & rambling msg in regards to your very touching memory! I'm sure she loved u VERY much & didn't want u hurt! & Things of this nature definitely give credence to some unexplainable phenomenons. ❤

[@dingding950]

Wow the first story makes me remember what happened to me as a child. I was 7-8 & I woke up in the middle of the night & saw my mom standing in the doorway of me & my little brothers room telling me to come give her a hug so I did & when I went to put my arms around her she disappeared I got so scared I ran into her room screaming crying where she was in bed sleeping. One of the scariest moments of my life to this day. I get goosebumps everytime I think about it.

[@martinacampagnaro8673]

That's crazy, something similar happened to me! I vividly remeber seeing my mum standing near the door and looking at me, it wasn't that unusual since they usually peeked in to be sure we were sleeping. That time though she didn't answer my "goodnight" and kept looking. The morning after I asked her why shewas acting that way and both my parents told me they never went to check on us

[@rebecca840]

The stories about the dogs reminded me of a few years ago my mum used to take our dog for a run every morning. He loved running and wouldn't stop running for nothing, except for one morning they were running past a hardware store and he stopped, turned towards the shop and sat down and wouldn't move. My mum eventually dragged him away and they got home...that exact same afternoon a helicopter crashed into the building killing everyone on board

[@megsd12]

I was close to my gram and she would always tell me when she passes she will mess with my lights so I know she’s with me. The night she passed, only my lights would flicker off and on. 10 years later, they still flicker here and there. 😭

[@emmygoldman1065]

The doppelgänger thing rings so true. My Poppa’s doppelgänger is, and always has been, Robin Williams. It’s scary how alike they look. Whenever I’m missing him, I’m so lucky to have to many great movies to curl up and watch. Every since he died, I can never get through one without sobbing at some point.

[@maressafay]

Growing up, my family would always say that if you saw a red cardinal or male cardinal, that your loved one is near, and I have noticed a lot in my life that I see them around just all the time, and it always brings me some sort of comfort because I feel like a family member is watching over me

[@ladyk3729]

in the UK we have a similar expression but with Robins, we don't have red cardinals here, that I know of, but Robins are quite common, especially in winter.

[@clarissathompson0103]

My family has always said that as well, I don't see them very often but my mother does❤

[@lunar.mermaid]

My MIL says that with cardinals too 😊 my pop always said that about monarchs, so I think of him whenever I see one ❤

[@GraysBlue]

yES!! my grandma told me this, that whenever she sees a cardinal she believes it’s her dad that passed away is with her. im an artist so i drew her a cardinal and it was so beautiful seeing how emotional she got when i gave it to her. red cardinals are so powerful!!

[@Rachel-e2l]

Yes growing up i have always heard that about cardinals. When cardinals are near, a loved one is here, or something like that is the saying I'm sure I butchered it lol. But I've also heard that about the monarch butterfly's too. Also I had just read on a different video in the comments people talking about hummingbirds also being a sign of a loved on visiting you, I had never heard that about hummingbirds before.

[@imjustanasshlesometimes3488]

My mom passed around 2 months ago. I was extremely close to her. We could look at one another and know what the other is thinking. Early May, I just had this feeling. Depression and anxiety hit me hard, but with no real reason. I also have a 2 yr old and 3yr old.... Keeping up with them is exhausting. My mom was hospitalized for half of May, all of June, and majority of July and was readmitted twice. I knew in May that I wouldn't have her around much longer. My neck would break out (and still breaks out in hives every 2 weeks like clockwork.... Only the handful of doctors I've seen for it say it's not hives and no idea why it's happening), and I've never experienced any skin reaction. My mom's nurse called me on a Fri evening saying she's dying and has a week. My mom and I talked (her mostly consoling me) and I promised her I'd see her in the morning. At midnight my sister called me sobbing saying i needed to get there (I was an hour away). I was on speaker, driving, and the last thing my mom ever said was, "I love you, Klarissa" (me). When I got there, she lost consciousness and never regained that. I wish I had gotten there sooner....she passed early monday morning. 5 minutes before I got the call, I sat up in bed and just knew.... It was the first time I had gone home since Friday and knew my mom would not pass in front of me or my sister. So we had gone home Sun night. My 3 yr old was extremely close to her. He had his own name for her. There's times where I'll see him and my 2 yr old almost having a conversation with.... The wall? They'll be so excited (like they were to see her). My 3 yr old will say the name he called her... so I wouldn't doubt that she checks in on them. Even Gus (our dog that adored her) will get excited and whiney in the kids' bedroom with no one in there (I can see on the baby monitor) and he'll turn his head like the way he did when she'd talk to him. So I absolutely think animals and kids are way more aware than we are. Love the podcast (and THT) Lots of love 💗

[@durazno6897]

Hi, as a mexican, we do not have the believe that people that recently passed away try to communicate with you before they go to try to "whisk you away." At least my family and people I know don't. In the contrary, if they communicate with you before leaving to the realm of the dead is only to say goodbye. We respect the dead, and celebrate them; that is why "El dia de los muertos" exists. It is not meant to have something "spooky" attached to it, its a celebration for those who are no longer with us

Sleep paralysis is NO JOKE!!! I have episodes and is absolutely terrifying. In my head I am screaming for help but I'm actually not making any sound at all. I can feel the tears running down my cheeks. I fight to try and move and I can't. My daughter witnessed an episode one night and she freaked out. And with all of my other health issues, she's seen some crazy, scary shit in her short 15yrs. She said my eyes were closed but she could tell I was trying to move and open them. I can't breathe. It's probably by far one of the scariest things I've been through and I've been dead multiple times. At least with those I felt more of a peaceful, euphoric feeling. Buuutttt....watching my heart being shocked back into rhythm ranks up there pretty fucking close to sleep paralysis.

[@vindifference]

I used to have it a few years ago during a more turbulent depressive time, and in that time I tried the method I read online of trying to repeatedly clench and release fingers or toes and it gradually works to snap me out of it. May not work for everyone, but I found that simply having something small that I could focus on doing was in itself a help. Trying to move your limbs and failing evokes more of a panic response, which I think makes it worse than it needs to be. Just saying "okay, let's just exercise whatever tiny piece of our body that we can, over and over, and forget about moving anything else" might help anyone in a similar position. For me, I only had faint access to my toes, but it was enough. If you end up succeeding at slowly coaching yourself through it, it makes such a difference for your morale if it happens again.

[@zoeysmama53108]

@vindifference there are a lot of true crime KZbinrs making videos this week about sleep paralysis. I saw two more videos today....well yesterday technically. Lol I'm an insomniac so I just have one really long day for most of the week. 🤦‍♀️ Since finding out that it was indeed the PITA of SP I have tried to just focus on trying to move one hand. Sometimes it works...it takes an eternity in my brain but it does work. And since I can move my right hand when I pass out because of my shitty broken heart, and the situation presents very similarly but lasts a lot longer, I thought maybe it would work with the SP and again, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Even when it does, until it's over it's still terrifying.

[@Kim-vt8yr]

I fully believe in getting messages from our loved ones! The night of my grandma passing she came to me in a dream and told me everything would work out fine 🥲 I see magpies (her fave bird/animal) all the time when I’m thinking about her or having a tough day! I believe in energy not necessarily ghosts or demons ect just good and bad energy! Whenever I walk into a certain part of my house too I feel like someone has stepped into the room with me and I get tingles on my body but it’s a good sort of energy!

[@ilovemycatsbro]

I went to New Orleans with my husband (fiance at the time) and our siblings. That day, we decided to enter a few shops and explore the city. We entered a voodoo shop, and there were things all around us that we're not allowed to touch. We didn't touch them. We didn't feel anything weird, and we had a great time until we all got home from the trip. My husband called me early in the morning telling me we should've never entered the shops, specifically the voodoo one, because something came home with him. My husband rarely dreams and experiences paranormal things... but that day he was petrified. There was a dark entity that woke him up from his sleep and held him down and stared directly into his eyes for several minutes. He said that it's eyes were orange and they were glowing. He started to pray and that's when the dark entity left him. After that he did a cleanse, and since then, we only go to New Orleans for family... and he doesn't feel comfortable entering shops.

[@Evelyn55515]

Hey Jerry, I’ve had many ghosties and I’m a physic medium at this point so I figured I could answer your question from the first story. Most of the time we see and hear things through our minds eye, it’s not a physical apparition. I like to think of it like it’s an over lay from some space to our space, we can sometimes see things from other realms or dimensions or whatever, but usually they need a lot of energy to make things happen physically, so it’s easier to trick our minds eye and save that strength for needing to move stuff around. Also , let’s all remember we are the ones blessed enough to have a body which is why they sometimes mess with us, it’s entertaining. But we are in charge ❤ people who have their minds eye open and working tend to see ghosties more for this reason, it takes less energy to have them present themselves to us.

[@kellyjean1554]

I was just about to say this. Sylvia Browne was an emotional vampire that fed off grieving parents with missing children. I know there’s a clip of another famous psychic, can’t remember the name off the top of my head, who was doing an interview with the journalist and the journalist showed her a picture of her as a kid and told her it was a missing child and the psychic said they were killed. The journalist was like “really? Cause that’s actually me.”

@@kellyjean1554 I found the video! Her name is Lori Mcquary the video is on KZbin when you type in Psychic caught lying

[@clarissathompson0103]

⁠@@kellyjean1554I wholly believe that some mediums/psychics or people with gifts like premonitions are either getting those powers from demonic entities, or through the Holy Spirit. I never thought about it that way until more recently, but opening yourself up to another dimension willingly always puts you in danger of being in contact with negative entities. I've never been a very religious person, but seeing a lot of people on tiktok using tarot cards and answering questions for people is a bit sketchy if they haven't been born with this ability to do. It's all real and scary, and it's shameful that people pretend to have these abilities when they don't because they're at risk of getting in touch with evil, all due to their greed and desire to take advantage of people. I've watched a lot of interviews with people who used to learn how to do those practices and shared how it impacted them later on and those they love.

My grandparents on my mom's side passed away (Grammy 3 years ago, Papa last year). They loved Cardinals and would set out special seeds for them. Since they passed, I've noticed a pair of cardinals, a male and female, seeming to be around me more often. I live nearly 600 miles from where they lived, but I can't help but think they're visiting me from time to time.

[@ivylovesrunning]

I have premonitions, see spirits, and I know there is another side. Forseen family members deaths and knew when bad things were coming. The heaviness over the heart is unexpalinable. I've never seen astral projection as a curse. When I was growing, I found that having empathy for others so deeply and strongly that it often was suffocating. I can deal with it better now. Covid tested me to my limit.

A couple of years ago I was in a really bad place mentally so I started experiencing sleep paralysis, exploding head syndrome and would wake up gasping for air. I was experiencing it every night and it was so bad I was afraid of falling asleep, it was annoying more than scary. Thank god the first time it happened I only saw light, I'm a psychologist so after the first time I knew what was going on and refused to open my eyes but the audio hallucinations were awful. I learned how to control it and get out of it faster but would still get a bad headache the whole day. Now I only get them when I'm stressed but it's still an experience I wish no one goes through.

[@okayladykay]

I believe there’s energy that exists around us that we cannot see. I’ve physically been hugged by a spirit during a time of immense loneliness in my youth. I could not see them but I could feel them. The amount of love and warmth I felt from them was so intense, there are no words to describe that feeling. I think about it often and it still brings tears to my eyes. This is my personal experience and I WISH everyone on the planet could share the same. I’ve also had moments in my youth of premonition. At random moments I would be able to know what was going to happen minutes before they did. The moments were nothing crazy, just things like knowing who was going to walk down the hall away and knowing exactly what they were going to say. I used to tell my friend these things before they happened and every time I was spot on. She told me I was a wizard. Lol. I don’t experience this much anymore. But I definitely think it’s something everyone can tap into.

[@hhill_03]

Stories 2 and 3 reminded me of what happened to my Great-Uncle in 1987. For those who aren't from Canada, in Edmonton AB (July 31, 1987) there was a massive tornado that destroyed parts of the city and killed many. My uncle was staying in a hotel for a business trip when he heard the sirens to get to a safe place, he hid under a table as he didn't know what to do and started praying. He suddenly got this horrible feeling and looked up to see a dark cloudy figure towering above him, it felt like this figure wanted him to get tf out of there. So he told me he ran from the hotel (the tornado was near his location...) got into his car and drove to the nearest safety center. Well, guess what place was completely destroyed with a few fatalities that night? Yup, the very hotel my uncle was staying at. To this date, he isn't sure what the figure was whether it was a ghost/demon or guardian angel. Whatever it was saved his life and he is a big believer in the paranormal to this date.

I used to experience something similar to the last story. My mom used to live in an old miner town. The plot was said to have been the old speakeasy/brothel of the town right behind what is now the liquor store. I would hear big boots walk up the stairs from the basement and then walk upstairs above my room (there was a basement but no upstairs) and sometimes they would open my bedroom door or the door to the basement. My mom heard the same things and she would see a man with a black hat and long black coat at the end of the hall or at the front door

43:31 We have a large pack of dogs of all ages. Only three of our current ones had known our very first. He was the greatest ❤ he passed in a corner of our front room. At least once a month, usually more, we will see one or more of the newer babies barking at that corner, but not super alarmingly. Just like when someone new is met. Then one or more of the “originals” will come into the room, look at that corner, wag their tail, snort, and get onto the couch. The newer one that was barking will stop. Only the ones that knew Demon (our first Siberian’s name) will react positively and calm the ones who never met him down. This one hundred percent proves it is him, to me. I love having him here ❤

I get sleep paralysis very at least twice a month, but when I was little, I used to sleep walk and shake the doorknob of my parents bedroom door until they opened it and once they opened the door, I would hug my dad, but never touch him, just let my hands lightly tap the air around him. My dad was terrified of me but had to check up on me because if he did not come out, I would hit myself against the walls. When we moved, I never slept walked again. We later found out that the house we lived in was transported into the land after the original house was burned down. My dad also saw a mans shadow in that house and an owl would come to my parents window every night.

When I was a child, I had my childhood cat. She loved sleeping in the laundry room that we had in the basement. We had a cutout in the drywall so she could go up and down whenever she wanted. We were hanging out in the living room, and she shrieked and ran up the stairs with a plastic grocery bag doubled knotted to her head. No one was downstairs, and we didn't go down for days, not even my parents.

[@lifeofloops6252]

I’ve had the worst cases of sleep paralysis. Two of which terrify me to this day. One I was laying in bed with just enough light shinning through my shutters to see my surroundings. I couldn’t move and then I saw a really scary girl crawling around my bed. Finally she made it to my side of the bed and she grabbed my arm and would take deep sniffs. This until she got to my armpit and I remember the pressure of her fingers and puffing of her exhales. I broke out of paralysis but could still feel the tingling from the tickling sensation from her breath on my underarm.

The exploding head thing happens to me almost every night when I'm falling asleep. I usually hear something falling or doors slamming. I didn't know it was an actual thing. I thought I was just crazy.

[@liz3951]

I have never heard of exploding head syndrome but I have had that several times. It’s so crazy but you’re SO sure the sound is real. I’ve woken up from sounds of explosions, gunshots, man yelling, heavy things hitting the ground, all kinds of shit

I just looked up the bridge. That is wild! It looks like it is on a military training area somehow. Editing to add: I went to NOLA the first month I was pregnant with my baby. I am sure that’s where she decided I was her mom.

[@mads1864]

I had to close myself off when I was about 8 or 9. I was at my great grandma's house. My nana and uncle Josh lived there at the time. My little brother and I often stayed in my nana's room. That night my uncle josh was gone. I do not have sleep paralysis at all nor does my nana. My nana and I often talked to each other at night as we tried to fall asleep. Suddenly, the door swung open and the closet door started opening/ shutting. There was a dark figure in the doorway of the bedroom. My nana said "josh stop joking" but we soon realized it wasn't him. There was NO WAY it could have been my great grandma, she couldn't walk up stairs at the time. She had a picture of Jesus that literally fell off the wall that night. I just remember telling it to go away. Weeks prior I remember seeing the spirit of a little boy around my brother as well. I think I closed myself off that day as I never saw anything of the sort ever again. I feel presences, but never see it unless it is a good spirit. I get signs from now dead family members often. But that was absolutely terrifying. Looking back, I wonder if something happened in that house. I often think the little boy was protecting my brother.

My Grammy just recently passed away. I’ve been having a really hard time lately with it and wanted to listen to get my mind off of it. One of my Grammys dearest friends was Sylvia brown.

I get sleep paralysis and I see the shadow/hat man every single time. The room gets like warped and I can feel myself panicking and having trouble breathing. It's the worst. I'm always scared to sleep after it happens for days. 😩

holy crap… i saw the hat man the first time i got sleep paralysis and some how managed to use all my strength to open my eyes. that was 10 years ago and i’ve never seen him in an episode since..

[@Oliver-bb5kr]

My sister passed away very suddenly last year. She used to tell me that when she saw hummingbirds it reminded her of her grandpa whom she was really close with. She would say that she liked to think it was a sign from him just to say hello. A few weeks after she passed I was sitting outside in my backyard. I was really having a hard time losing her because she was like a mother to me. And I thought of the hummingbird. So I just asked, “if you’re here watching over me, send me a hummingbird.” Not even five minutes later a little hummingbird flew up, hovering pretty close to me. I cried because I knew it was her. It helped a lot knowing she was okay and still watching me.

[@alexi5903]

The bridge is exactly what I envisioned

[@nicolemh]

“Exploding Head Syndrome” has happened to me multiple times. Usually right when I’m about to fall asleep. It sounds like a box fan falling over on our hard wood floor. I know it is in my head because it has happened when my husband is right next to me, wide awake, and he doesn’t hear it.

[@BpBex]

Laughing so hard at the "Shmekl! Go fix it!"

[@msammerz5608]

So I actually have experienced exploding head syndrome. It doesnt really happen to me anymore, but it happened quite often when I was in a more stressful time of my life. To me, it always sounded like glass shattering so I perpetually thought someone was breaking into our house at night. I would send my husband to look and no broken glass was ever found.

[@dianash.6495]

I couldn't get rid of sleep paralysis when I was a teenager, so I completely stopped sleeping on my back til this day and would never try it again 😭

I have exploding head syndrome, it’s so crazy when it happens! mine started when I turned 30. Mine sounds like fireworks in my head! It scares me every time it happens. I also see spirts out of the corner of my eye, I've also been diagnosed with narcolepsy.

@@twocathome399 Right?!!! I thought the same thing! It’s a real thing, nothing to be concerned about but super scary when it happens.

My mother used to see a young child, about 5-6 years old, come out of her closet every day and go to the back of the house and disappear. The child had black hair and wore different clothes every day, but without facial features. When my mother became pregnant with my older brother, he disappeared. My mother can see these things and has had many situations of this kind

I died when Jerry spoke for the bat... " heeeeellooooo" so cute. We are so happy that you are sharing him with us!

Not the same but I have dreamt about my aunt and grandma before. Each time I’m in my main dream and there are “side characters” the people in the background that you know are there but don’t see them clearly or acknowledge them. Each time something triggers me to notice them and I’m the only one that can see them. It always ends with us hugging until the dream fades.

[@KH0495]

My dad was a huge dolphins fan, We are from NC so there are not many in our area. He passed in March and the Dolphins are having a good season. I know without a doubt it's my dad 🤍 13:08

[@mindiievaaj]

I’ve had a few dreams about this figure and the few times this figure would hold my hand or hug me in my dream state it was always a warm feeling. I never felt scared or threatened of it and I had asked a medium about it. The medium told me it was a female figure and it was someone that had recently passed and cross pathed with and the figure told the medium to tell me she was going to leave soon after she knows I will be okay. And that i will know who she is when the time comes. I still don’t know who it is yet but I have an inkling. Ever since then I haven’t had the figure come into my dream state anymore either.

[@corinnewolfe963]

I also get gut feelings about death. Most notably I saw a death aura around my bf’s grandfather a couple weeks before he was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was super hard to watch his family have hope that he could beat it when I knew he was going to pass. He was a lovely man.

[@Ken-lh9gm]

As soon as I heard Story 6 about the bridge, before Justin confirmed the location of the bridge, I KNEW THE EXACT bridge op was referring to... As someone from that same city as op, I have heard dozens of stories about that bridge and area. It is extremely dark and haunted. As someone who lived in that town the majority of their life, the entire city of Ft. Wayne gives off very eerie and unsettling vibes.

I would love to add my own story. My father passed from suicide about 16 years ago, when I was about 7 years old. He's missed a lot of important moments in my life, and I've always questioned wether or not he was watching me from the great beyond. The night of his 15th anniversary I had a dream of him. I was showing him around my college campus and talking about my plans to graduate that May. He turned to me and told me we was so proud of me, that he was sorry, and that I had grown up so strong without him by my side. I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks, and it woke me up. I checked the time, it was the exact time that he had passed, on the 15 year anniversary of his death. It was only a month later that my grandpa would pass (my dad's dad) and only days later my apartment would be FILLED with ladybugs. Even now, a year later, I swear everytime I talk to him outloud or think about him, I look up and there is a ladybug on the ceiling above my head. I truly believe there something out there in the great beyond.

[@tiffh9072]

The fourth story where she knew things would happen, that kind of happens in my own family as well. Every time the first born girl will have a child, the mom will ALWAYS have a dream about it first. My first pregnancy (had 2 miscarriages), my mom knew it before I told her. And the death thing as well. When my one cousin passed away, I was at my mom's house which was rare due to my circumstances at the time. I received a message on FB from their husband telling me to ask my mom to pick up the phone because it was important. When my grandma passed, I got a call from my brother saying I should come up to see her since she was getting sicker (had cancer). I've been offered to go up multiple times but never had a chance nor wanted to because I HATED seeing her so sick and unable to speak....so I said screw it and I went up and decided to stay the night because something didn't feel right, we all had that feeling that she wasn't going to make it. She died that night and EVERYONE was saying she was waiting on me to say goodbye which killed me. I was probably one of the closest grandkids to her and it still makes me tear up when I think about it because she was suffering for so long. When my second cousin died just last year, I had a dream that just kept telling me to wake up. I woke up at like 6:04am which I NEVER did. I always woke up super late (12-2pm usually). I laid in bed for 30 minutes before my mom called and told me my cousin was killed. The shots were heard about 10 minutes before I woke up. I always feel like that, despite the circumstances, I'm ALWAYS there or awake when things like this happen. I don't even believe in the stuff but after having these things happen, it's starting to feel more and more real. Scary fact of the day: Both my cousins were the eldest female out of their siblings and died exactly 4 months following their 38th birthday. I'm 29 so I have a few years left I guess :')

Good Morning! 🎃 Thank you for always posting this while I’m falling asleep in the class 💀

[@Amandapuhlease]

These aren’t really scary stories that I have. Just weird…. Sometimes I have dreams the day before things happen that are pretty crazy. For example: I was working in an ICU previously and had a dream 3 patients coded at the same time. The next day I went to work and the exact scenario happened. Granted it was a Covid unit and death was fairly common during that time.. A year later I had a dream room #9 went into VTach in the middle of the shift randomly and I even told my coworker about it when we both got to work and joked I didn’t want that patient because I had a bad vibe. And at 2 am guess what happened? Then this past week (I’m currently at a psych hospital), I had a dream a young early 20s girl with brown hair hung her self in a bathroom with a towel on the unit. I told my coworker about me having that nightmare and an hour later they called a code and a young brown haired girl had hung herself in the bathroom but with a shirt. My coworker was in shock as was I that that happened. I used to think it was a coincidence but the exact scenarios are happening. I’m starting to think I’m psychic.

I have many, many, many stories. No, I am not a medium. A few short instances I've dealt with: 1) my guitar played itself when it was against the wall on the other side of the room. 2) a single blood droplet dropped on my toe. Noone was bleeding, we looked everywhere. 3) My papa visited me right after passing in my dream. Explained what happened, confirmed by a phone call later that day. 4) Many pictures over time with faces or bodies in the pictures with me, my mom, or my uncle. 5) being overwhelmed with perfume at my Nana's rented home, who only wore one type of perfume ever, that was NOT what i smelt. The owner confirmed it was her late mother's favorite flower perfume. Again, I have so many more stories, but too much to type. My husband doesn't believe any of it, despite having witnesses to confirm.

[@ih8myselff]

this made me think of something. my uncle died about 2 years ago in a car accident. after his death i was napping when i woke up and felt hands on my arms, the werent cold or warm but i could feel them and that they werent hostile. i blamed this on my imagination and my post-nap grazyness until my sister told me she had felt hands too and my mom said she had also felt a presence. it hasnt happened anymore but i like to think it was a message that he was fine.

[@hunnybees9869]

One thing I was told was that, if you wanna know if it’s a good spirit or the spirit of a loved one, ask to shake their hand, if they shake it they are good, if they refuse to shake your hand, it’s an evil spirit pretending to be your loved one.

[@Bellia25]

my boyfriend's father passed away not too long ago. Right before he passed, I got the gut drop feeling in my stomach and chest. I told him "He's not going to make it" and told him it was the same feeling I had when his dog passed. Not too long after he had a stroke and passed away before the ambulance even made it to the house. He died in my boyfriend's arms in their home. This is about the 3rd or 4th time I have had something like this happen. It was devastating but also strange.

[@lindsaysparks5623]

There was a time when I worked at Cracker Barrel as a server. It was a normal busy day when I went to greet my newest table and this woman looked exactly like my grandma that had pasted a year prior due to cancer. I stopped and just looked at her and almost started to cry she asked if I was okay and I explained to her, after I did she hugged me so tight. Her hair,her smile,her smell was all the same as my gma. It was crazy I felt so embarrassed after but she was understanding and told me I was fine🤍 reminded me of the brother story w the dolphins

[@clarissathompson0103]

My grandma, mom and aunts had a similar experience when my grandpa passed away when I was in third grade (I'm 27). They still had a home phone and answering machine, and there was a message from my grandpa on the phone telling my grandma that he loves her and that he is okay. Same night, grandpa came into my moms dream: she always sees him at a farmhouse, on a porch around sunset, young and vibrant and he told her to take care of my grandma. All of his daughters and my grandma saw him either in a dream that night, or woke up and physically saw him there and told them something different. None of them knew until the next morning that he came to see them all. Many times when my mom is going through a hard time, she cries when we talk and says she wishes her dad would come back to that farmhouse in her dream and talk to her (she's told me about 3 times it's happened, but it's been a while since the last visit).

My family and I are also Mexican American and I just had this conversation with my mom yesterday. She said if she wasn't in the church, she would be a witch. From what she told me I joked saying she was medium or something. She told me more stories and It was no longer a joke.. she told me she's seen and heard things in our house since we put our ofrenda up. One story was very similar to the bird story in this video. A bad energy was talking to her through my (sleeping) dad saying there are three beds in a mortuary belonging to some people in our family?! She screamed at the bad energy to get out and that it wasn't welcome. My dad woke up and didn't remember a thing that 'he' said.

[@acyasin1000]

My Uncle was killed in 1979. I was born about ten years later. No one in my family talked about him because it was too painful for them. No pictures, no whatever. As a little child, I was staying in 'his' old room at my Grandmother's in the mornings to get on the bus, and I was terrified of walking down that hallway in the dark. Then I saw a glowing blue light, knew it was my Uncle and everything would be just fine. I would not stop talking about him, and scared my family pretty well since I shouldn't know about him at all. I saw him while caring for my Gram, multiple times. He's been there for all the big events, somehow, and I think of him any time I hear Hotel California. He's not the only spirit I've seen or sensed though, just the first I remember. I've seen an aunt, my Grandfather, heard a little girl laugh in my room... What's interesting is that I have Aphantasia, and I can't see anything in my Mind's eye.
