[@masonclark9110]

Home alone lived in a 18th century house bathroom door slammed open then someone spoke to me I have no idea what they said sounded like gibberish to me

[@masonclark9110]

Oh shit I hadn’t watched up till 4:00 that’s quite cool

[@lorigonzales3996]

A week without sleep I can tell u some scary shit

[@sh6843]

Only when drunk

[@adrianofmars]

Learning and being diagnosed with severe sleep apnea I come to find out that sleep paralysis is a very common symptom of it. Explaining why I would hear demonic voices and shadows while I was trying to fall asleep. Got treatment for it with a cpap machine and I have not had any sleep paralysis or crazy visions since. I used to get it 2-3 times a week before starting treatment

[@weflyyofcourse9110]

For weeks and weeks I was seeing dark floating figures out of the corner of my eye and feeling like I was being watched and I put it down to extreme anxiety/stress. Turns out I'd slowly been breathing in carbon monoxide that had been leaking out from under my airing cupboard door (where the boiler is) at low but steadily increasing levels. When I went to hospital they told me that prolonged exposure can cause that kind of thing. Anyway, I loved this guest, thought she was cool and very interesting!

[@funkunko]

that’s horrifying, i’m glad you’re safe now

[@randomenvelope]

Yes people need to check for mold or gasses instead of calling for ghosts

[@walterhager8626]

Damn yea that'll do it. Glad you're hear to tell the story cause definitely could of been alot worse and we could of trying to contact ya on a ouija board lol😂. All jokes aside am glad your safe and definitely get a good detector in case it was to happen again might not be as lucky next time😢

[@walterhager8626]

​@@funkunko that really is horrifying especially how quickly it could of escalated because ba@ically invisible and ya cant smell it. That's why when I finish flipping a house and selling it I always make sure they have fire and carbon detectors if the home I fixed is using gas type heat

[@walterhager8626]

​@@randomenvelopeyes mold too most definitely especially black mold ppl think it just messes with your breathing but body as a whole

[@edcolton8385]

Beth was absolutely fantastic, really logical and open to questions

[@ryanfaulkner5488]

What I don't understand is why with a ouija board does someone have to touch the piece. It's not like it posseses you and moves your hand. So why not let it move the piece itself ... OH WAIT... BECAUSE ITS FAKE lol

[@Dannysince1985]

Ouija board was originally invented as a family game by MB or waddingtons whoever the game manufacturers were at the time, not meant for contacting the dead, just to have fun and see what you could spell out.

[@LuciferXFallen290]

Hasbro I think

[@westhamaremassive8099]

They have teams to remove something that doesn’t exist that’s crazy

[@RandomParkShots]

Seems disingenuous for her not to mention ouija boards started as a toy from hasbro

[@imogeninsufferable]

I really liked her but I thought this was weird too

[@inegom1735]

Quick advice for defeating paranormal entities in your home: Seeing things out of corner of eye? - Buy a CO2 alarm, get boiler check; Hearing voices and seeing full apparitions? - Seek medical help, also get a CO2 alarm; Seeing orbs on camera? - vacuum more regularly; Hearing bumps at night? - bleed radiators, buy mouse traps. 😜

[@travisvanalst4698]

Lmao “vacuum more regularly” 😂

[@bomberaustychunksbruv4119]

I live in a farm house on 43 acres, you wouldn't believe how noisy it is at night, frogs, rats sometimes, cows thumping around next door in the wooded area, creaking wooden floors and everything in between. Lizards scurrying across the roof space. I just listen to it all and nod off.

[@demz5646]

the halloween intro is cold icl

[@Dawntana]

If a ouija board is really a ‘ghost’ moving the planchette, u shouldnt have to have ur fingers on it for it to move.

[@joyfulnoise349]

Exactly….ghosts supposedly close and open doors, throw things etc yet can’t move the planchette themselves? Lol

[@NeptuneSega]

What about computer keyboards, why don't they communicate through that?

[@mcminn94]

No one ever brings up the coincidence of Hasbro making a board game that opens a portal to the dead ...either Hasbro is full of demonic devil worshipers orrrrr it's just a board game that people get giddy with

Charles Kennard, the founder of Kennard Novelty Company which manufactured Fuld's talking boards and where Fuld had worked as a varnisher, claimed he learned the name "Ouija" from using the board and that it was an Ancient Egyptian word meaning "good luck".

[@belannadepriest2161]

With all the paranormal shit that I've seen and been through I just ignore it and pretend I didn't hear or see anything😅😅

[@TheDayDreamingOwl]

What have you seen? Did the ghost appear and say, "Hey, I'm a ghost."

[@belannadepriest2161]

@TheDayDreamingOwl I've seen someone looking into our window one night and my roommate saw it as well we almost called the cops but she opened the door and where we saw the person peeking in there was no tracks in the snow. When I was younger I once woke up in the middle of the night and looked towards my doorway only to see a dude standing there and my dog saw it to he was looking at the door and growling. I've seen shadow people walk by my doorway as well, and they were so defined that I honestly thought some one walked by only to realize shortly after that the direction they were walking went straight to a wall. At my old place when I would go outside to smoke on the sunporch, alot of nights I would be sitting there only to see to the side of me outside of the sunporch a pitch black figure crouching and just staring. Aft3r we moved I found out that I wasn't the only one seeing this figure as my fiance and roommate has seen it as well. My fiance had come home from game night and just glanced over towards the basement stairs only to see the shadow figure crawling up the stairs. Roommate saw it and thought I was home, it was apparently just hanging out in the living room. We had shaped stories after we moved, and even before that it kinda slowed down until it just stopped. My sister said that it was probably something trying to attach itself to us but no one was acknowledging it so it left. Idk all ik is that it was scary. There has also been some recent things that has happened in the house we are living in now but not to that extent. I've learned to live with it I have always seen or heard things so I tend to just ignore it till it's gone. It upsets my sister a bit cuz she's really into the paranormal and don't get me wrong I'm very much into it as well I just don't want to mess with that stuff, I know bad things could happen if you mess around with things like that and I'm not about that. But my sister is she sees and hears things as well, though I don't think she's ever heard her own voice call back to her in an empty house before. Now that was trippy and scary I've never moved that quickly in my life before. I've actually also heard someone calling my name and trying to get me to come over towards where the voice is coming from and I nope the fuck out of there. No thank you.

[@laurenparry2073]

Me and my friend were calling out in my bedroom yano “is anyone there knock, once for male twice for female, knock if your this person would go through list of names ect, we were like 13 didn’t really know what we were doing .😂 anyways started hearing footsteps coming towards us shit it and turned the lights off and shut the door knowing I wouldn’t go back in there and ran downstairs. We were the only ones in the house. We hear a huge bang coming from my bedroom I ran upstairs to find the door wide open and the lights on. I’m shitting myself ringing my mum to hurry up home 😂 That night I go to bed I hear my name being whispered multiple times I shit myself and shout “go away please” and hid under my duvet til morning. Never had anything happen again. Went to a physic 15 years later and got told you wernt dreaming that night that lady was whispering your name it was your nana. Actually felt bad then that I’d told her to go away 😂. Blew my mind that he’d brought it up, I’d told nobody at that point because I just thought it was a dream.

Played when I was in my teens I asked it the name of my grans dead dog it got it right but no one I was playing with new. Later that night I got stuck in a arm chair at my house awake for bout what felt like ages but probably about 20-30 seconds I was awake couldn’t talk or move like someone was sitting on me and yes I no it sounds like sleep paralysis but that is a hell of a coincidence.

[@Blarm]

you knew bruh

[@irinfin]

mad, one of my friends played it at his house and I went for a sleepover. His dog started barking at the corner of the room randomly when he mentioned he played it and every time we looked at the corner the dog started barking at the other corner and it just kept switching. We were on the sofa going from one side to the other, when my friend got his dog to calm down we had covers on the sofa and I remember the dog was staring straight over me cuz I was in the corner. yh never slept at his house again im black🤣

Sorry, honey... But, when you're sitting with three other people, cross-legged, on the floor, around a coffee table that sits a foot and a half off the floor, and you've set up an improvised spirit board, using cut out letters, with an upside down glass; and "something" invisible PUNCHES the table top in anger - yet, not a single member of the group was moving any part of their body when the massive THUD occurred... Then, you can be absolutely assured that, OOOOOH YEAH, entities DO exist! This one CANNOT be debunked. No amount of analysis will alter that experience.

A 'skeptical paranormal expert' is an oxymoron, preying on the gullible. And 'debunk' doesn't mean what they think it means.

[@Aerojet01]

The fact we exist and the universe was apparently created from nothing, our entire existence is a mystery! You can be too open minded that your brain falls out or you could be so closed minded where your brain becomes imprisoned!
