I Asked The Spirit Of A Friend Why He Took His Own Life

[@royaustin8000]

For the record…I was trying to keep my cool…but with every validation I was literally going crazy inside…I was trying not to let Dalen see that but I was losing it…it was a bit uncomfortable for me because I still miss my dear friend but it was also very cool…sorry Dalen that I was a bit low key…I knew in my heart Danny would come thru but I wasn’t expecting him to say a few things he did…AND I was trying not to talk too much in fear of missing something from the spirit box…wanted to say a big thank you to Dalen and the Grave yard Shifters for taking the time to include me and my musical partner from the past in a segment…I would definitely do a spirit box session again and I recommend to you all…thanks again…ps…I’ll never cut my own hair again and won’t stay up all night playing pool if I have to go on camera the next day…lol…

[@stephaniekindred760]

I thought I heard Defiance twice! Very cool! Thanks for being open to this experience and sharing it with the shifters.

[@titasmom678]

You did great. It must have been very emotional to hear your friend answer you. Thanks for letting us share your experience.

[@janethough7541]

Agreed great job, me personally, I'd be a crying mess 😭 😂

[@bryslea]

Thanking for sharing with us. I enjoyed watching it but wish it had been different circumstances for Danny, like old age. I thought you looking totally fine so no worries! I love hairbands too!

[@jillifensty5110]

I enjoyed it as well God bless Danny in his last minutes . What anguish he must have been RIP

[@royaustin8000]

That was awesome…I will say this…I will never stay up until 4 am the night before being on camera again…lol…I was a bit tired as you can see but what a great experience and ti hear our questions being verified was super cool…thanks again Dalen…you Rock brother!!!

[@Panther-psycho75]

It was a blessing and a gift you sharing this personal shift . It was heart warming and I’m sorry for your loss of best friend/brother. The answers were spot on ! Thank you for sharing . Best shift ever ! I loved it ! Hope to see you again Roy ! ❤❤with love from your graveyard shift family . Hugs to you! Thank you dalen ! This was an amazing shift!

[@diannerunnels]

This was awesome

[@cindym.9029]

You are So Blessed to be able to have contact with a great friend that passed on…I just lost my Mom on May 31st 2023, her Birthday was on June 12th. We made a Pact that whomever went first would give a sign, and I have not gotten anything which makes it so hard to get through the day…She is/was my Mom, Dad, Doctor, teacher, protector, provider, Best Friend and Mother to grace this World. Your video with Daley gives me Tremendous hope and Faith, so Thank You Both!

[@dawngrimes7361]

Thank you for doing this with Dalen, he's so very sweet

[@aimeeamigone2717]

Roy seemed so nice

[@starrdove4100]

I am so very glad he got to talk to his friend and bandmate. Like I said I don't believe in Coincidences, remember that. It seemed like it was a bitter sweet moment for Roy. I know you miss your friend. Danny says he looks out for you because you deserve that. And you have not forgotten Danny. That's what I call love.

[@barbararich3060]

Danny answered those questions so very fast. He was like Jesus but without a pinwheel !!😂😂

[@Lacey1027]

Hi Roy! So happy to be part of this tonight! 💓 So happy Roy gets to do this he seems like a really cool guy! Ty Dalen!

[@makemesing714]

Roy, If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand. If there's a rock n roll heaven, you know they'vd got a hell of a band.❤❤❤

[@tinakeith5822]

I love that song!!!

[@susiereadreams7430]

Dalen, you should call these visits with other people/shifters, "Graveyard Get-Togethers." I'm so happy Roy got to speak with his friend. You're doing good things Dalen. The Spirits like it and so do we, (viewers). Love, Love, Love back at'cha! Peace.

[@joyodrobina6893]

That would make another great show. I've been wanting to do spirit sessions with friends that have passed away over the years . I don't really go back to my home town of El paso because everyone's gone. I just lost an ex to alcohol and liver failure in October last year. Almost my whole crowd from high school is gone. The Good die young as they say I guess

[@joyodrobina6893]

I agree. That would be a great series

[@BlueRoseHelen252]

I was just about to suggest a similar name... Great suggestion I think 😊

[@susiereadreams7430]

"Graveyard Gatherings" would also be good. Love this show! ❤👻❤ 2:41

[@leamacleod5903]

How about graveyard chat 👻

[@suzyrock1368]

This was a healing shift for Roy. ❤

[@Lacey1027]

Wow! They said clear as day they were going to get Danny that is absolutely incredible!

[@LeniDell]

At first I was nervous for Roy because of how Danny passed. I’m glad it looks like he’s ok. He did answer some things only Danny could’ve known. And like a righteous metal guy, he told his buddy to “get laid” lol. I’m Roy’s generation and the pics brought a huge smile on my face. We did have a gas in those days! All my best to Roy. Thank you Dalen, I’d love to have you with at my family’s resting place. You’re so fun! And my Dad was hilarious so it would be a riot if he came through lol.

[@DalenLSpratt]

Love it!!!

[@AdrianaMatern]

Name for the series “Shifting for Shifters “ ❤ this episode was amazing Dalen!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@DalenLSpratt]

Thank you!!!

[@jaynekranc8607]

I like it!

[@melissalease5476]

And if you think no one loves you, just remember we love you in this family❤️❤️❤️

[@dawngrimes7361]

Awww so sweet and true, this is a wonderful family ❤😊

[@LadyRavens56]

Hey , I heard some things in the spirit box session ,when you asked about Roy playing music again I heard , " like we used to" I also heard when asking about his cat, "I love Izzy".Great Shift ..❤

[@richardsonramble4166]

Fellow 80's metal head 🤟 Motley Crue 'The Crue' was our favorite, too. Great memories. So sorry for the passing of your friends. 🙏 Thank you, Dalen for reaching out, and for always being awesome. Stay cool! 😎

[@eMJae8410]

Woe! Come on now! What a great shift! Roy, thanks for being number one , taking one for the shifting community. Now that you've had this experience, I believe it helps melt away a bit more of the doubt system for those that are still hanging in that area. Thank you for sharing a part of your personal life. Love the photos! Flash backs to good times. I have to say I ran from top to bottom with full scale chills as soon as spirit's said they would go get Danny for you. Lol. What's your freakin' deal?! Love it. Danny came through with a lot of answers. So upsetting to hear he was 'terribly sad. ' names, drums, the GROUP NAME , just so cool. Thank you Dalen for putting this idea into motion. Roy, nice to meet you! Great shift guys! Love, love, love

[@suzyrock1368]

Yeah that sky is beautiful behind them and that tree too!

[@JustMamaw]

I like "Graveyard Reconnections " as a name

[@daniellebennis2126]

Love that

[@rosewood9839]

And Izzy!! That was when it got real. Roy still missed him ❤️ But it almost like a visit.

[@stacym7124]

Hey Roy, fellow metal head (headbanger) here! This was so cool!! I’m so happy you got to talk to Danny! ❤️

[@cindym.9029]

I’m a Metal Chick myself, and lost quite a few Great True Friends…The One that I want to have contact with was the One who got away, in which I still cry about. His passing was supposedly unaliving, but found to be a homicide/foul play. We knew who did it, but this person took himself out before the Cops got to his home. Feels like yesterday, and I dedicated Queensryche’s Silent Lucidity to him. I just like talking to others like Yourself who gets the fact that the 80’s were the only and best times to be Alive and to grow up with the BEST Music, MTV, going to concerts and the Clubs, and how fun and easy to make great friendships/relationships and the Best of Times! Take Care, Keep Rocking, and keep our music Alive, because it fell apart by the late 90’s.💯🎸🎤🥁😎

[@lauriestmaurice1742]

Hello Dalen and Roy! So glad you got to do this Roy and connect with your friend❤ Dalen you are so respectful and kind to do this.

[@DalenLSpratt]

Thanks so much!!

[@jenny_1076]

​@DalenLSpratt Dalen if u ever make it to West Virginia, I would love The Graveyard Shift to help me. In 1988 my sister was killed by our step dad and I was 12 at time, I held her in my arms tried to help her,I want to know if she knew I was with her. I'm sure she does though I guess I want to hear it. I know u get alot of request to do this. God Bless❤

[@EileenNolan-gt9fc]

He should have taken his guitar and played Danny a song.

[@BTJ10]

That would have been epic !!!

[@makemesing714]

Two orbs on Roy's chest.

[@piper6337]

Roy thank you for sharing Danny and his story. Love it!! Thanks Boss Man! ❤

[@DalenLSpratt]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@jayedrukas5007]

This was wild. Definitely got some answers.❤️🙏🏻

[@laurieyoung8065]

This is going to be a difficult one. We lost our son in law 2 years ago. He took his own life. It leaves one with so many questions, heartache and guilt. It's a grief like no other. 😢💔.

[@Lacey1527]

Sorry for your loss. ❤ my heart and prayers are going out to you and your family.

[@orenda8220]

So sorry. 1984 I tried, got help never tried again. Life ain't for sissies 😢

It was interesting how the sun was shining while talking to Danny on the things he wanted to talk about. What a great session. Love love love

[@EmmaRotella]

Thank you Roy for letting us be a part of yours and Danny life. He will always be with you.

[@nelsaf365]

What a unique experience for Roy. Very touching, Dalen, to put up the photos at the end. An honest day's shift comes to a close. Until tomorrow.

[@SharonJacobs-r2h]

It's still amazing to me how close we remain to friends we had from our younger days, I still visit the graves of friends I had in high school 50+ years ago. I'm glad Roy got this opportunity to connect with a special friend.... Thanks Daylen....❤

[@mereiaali6381]

I swear there was an orb that flew down over Roy's right shoulder and down straight to the ground in front of him, in the * seconds * after Roy asked "what's your wife's name"!!!

[@RicardoRMedina]

At 21:35 you can see a fast moving Orb.

[@mereiaali6381]

@@RicardoRMedina yes! At first I thought his shoulder had a twinkling thing going on so that's why I rewound it. Glad you saw it also and it wasn't just me trippin' ! 🙏🏾😅

[@donnatozer9099]

TY for noticing this. I went back and closely watched it and my goodness you have eagle eyes. Its small and fast but its there. Great spotting.

[@tinakeith5822]

I saw it too!! I thought I saw an orb at 19:13. Roy shook his shoulder right as it went by. He did it a couple of times. Danny was right there by him!

[@debbiehoward7627]

This was probably the BEST shift to date. Thank you Roy as well as Danny. Keep up the good stuff Dalen.

[@pattylynngreer]

Totally 80's!❣️

[@AngelaHollenack]

Thank you Dalen , another great graveyard opportunity!! This was just amazing! Keep up the phenomenal job that you do 😊👍 love to you and your beautiful family ❤

[@DalenLSpratt]

Thank you! Will do!!

[@dawnyoung8]

He’ll come through I bet when it’s you on your own and . I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops up more often . If you feel him around more often

[@JessRare]

When Roy said to Danny “I would love for you to come through I know you would totally dig this” you could hear “YEA MAN” with the music playing.

[@kathyb9988]

Please accept my sympathy. Be comforted in the time you spend in each other's presence. I wanted to let you know I sent a prayer heavenward for your friend and yourself.

[@rosewood9839]

I just heard “it’s just” just before he said “difficult” Did anyone else hear that? And Dalen, you asked if it was difficult, and then he dips out. This was a great shift!!

[@palmyrapilato7256]

What a great shift with so many identifying answeres. What a great idea to help others. You have a big heart. Keep shifting. 😊

[@DalenLSpratt]

Thank you so much!

[@LynneJohnston-vg2vw]

That was awsome thankyou Dalen and Roy. A wonderful session 😊

[@billiejomcmillan7632]

Great shift Dalen and Roy! I feel Danny really came through. It's awesome you two buddies could re-connect. You guys are cuties! ❤❤❤

I think Walter said we’re taking him now . Like they’re helping him move maybe ?

I think Walter found a new friend to hang with they can pick up the Ladies together ..lol I busted up laughin when he told Roy to "get laid " not gonna lie that was hilarious . lol

[@tabathahagan6913]

Now that was awesome Dalen... Sounds like he connected to his friends and all because of you.... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@adamthompson9774]

Hell yeah! Danny really came thru strong!

[@aliciahunter9354]

That was so good! Danny answered all the questions, some that you found later, but some came through loud and clear. Must have been awesome for Roy.

[@crimoni3513]

This was a great experience as our first shifter pop in it was very unique and thank you Roy for allowing us to meet Danny as a fellow shifter i applause to all the future PTOs that are coming

[@botticellichick6393]

I'm sorry, I'm late! This is what Shifting is all about. What a beautiful gift. Dalen, you gave this man some comfort and a way to heal, and that is what you are all about. You have built a beautiful community that I am so happy to be a part of. Love, Love, love, positivity, blessings! I wish you all things beautiful in this world and to all my family of Shifters and beyond. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Waited to hear this shift. Can’t deny the info, especially the high school answers.

[@glombis_daboombis]

Danny: "Why'd you come?" Spirit: "Whats your freaking deal? 😐 Hes trying to help you." I loved this interaction 😂

[@Catscrazycrafts27]

"Graveyard shift" sounds like a great name already. Love ya channel! I love watching you do these spirit box sessions. My great grandfather on my Mom's side was a actual graveyard attendant. He always warned my Mom that "you don't have to worry about the Dead people in a graveyard at night, you had to worry about the living ones." But not the ghost hunters. Keep up the good work.❤❤❤ stay safe and much loves! My deepest condolences to Roy, him telling us about his memories feels like Danny lives again by sharing those with us all. Peace, love and hugs!

[@Lacey1027]

Look at how the sun is shining down behind those clouds, just on the guy's. That is so beautiful.❤

[@bobbic4937]

23:14 I heard "drums" three times.

[@mimi7658]

After they asked what instrument he played it was instant “drums” I was shocked they didn’t hear it. Some of what was said sounded like an actual voice not just the box. Incredible meet up and session.

[@SherryJohnson28171]

Hi Roy, nice to meet you. that was a great session with Dalen and your friend Danny. his answers coincided with what you told us. I heard him say the band name, his cats name and the fact he misses the ladies. no wonder he got the girls, he was really cute. seemed like you were a mixed bag of emotions, how could you not be a little apprehensive of what you might hear and a little worried and nervous you may not hear from your friend at all, im so glad you did and his answers were spot on. i went to a medium and she told me things my dad said to her she could not possibly have known, she asked me no questions about him at all and just started telling me things i knew had to come from my dad. i was on the fence about things like that, but after that day i was 100 percent sure our passed over loved ones, although gone from our sight for now, they are never gone from our lives and we will see them again.

[@sandrarodgers4955]

I love this shift, I love that it included part of our community. And Danny showed right up! Great work, look forward to more PTO.

[@KarriSimone]

Awesome you are doing this Dalen especially without fear.

[@stef1lee]

Wow! I really love this session. My husband is a drummer and when we first met, he was in a band called Ashes of a Martyr (AOM) here in Southeast, Texas. They had a very talented lead guitar player named Andy Hales. More like a music prodigy. Well, along came a girl and she brought in her bad habits to his life. He was already struggling with sobriety and she didn't help. One day, Andy brought this girl that nobody really knew much of or about to band practice. I noticed that they both seemed a bit high. High off of something other than wacky tobaccy. They both go into our downstair ½ bath and are in there a while. When they exit...well...now they both seem way weirder than before. The next morning I go to put my wedding bands back on and they're gone from the cabinet they were in in that bath over the toilet. I searched the house high and low before notifying my husband. He helped me look, too before accusing anyone. Later, we call the cops...they do nothing but accuse us of giving it to them for drugs. Neither of us does drugs and we have a clean DISA record to prove it and federal, HSA, ATF backgrounds to prove it. So, we call around to local pawn shops and find my jewelry pawned by the girl and Andy. We notified the detective that was being a jerk and after a bunch of crap slinging back and forth...I finally got my wedding set back. The band made the decision to oust Andy until he could get back on track and dump that girl. About 3 or so days later...his father found him hanging in the garage after not hearing from him for a few days. I have had this awful guilt associated with his passing. All the way back to the day I met my husband. All the what if's just swirl around. To this day, 14 years later, I do not get to know his bandmates, their wives, children...nobody. I am so weirded out that something like that could happen again and I don't let people in our house. He hates having to explain why I am the way I am but he understands I don't want or need any more burdens on my conscience. I'm down for the band but I don't want to know people.

[@orenda8220]

Good questions Dalen. You must have done some serious prep

[@christinapagaan3111]

Oh I really loved this shift!! Looking forward in watching the up coming "Its never Goodbye" shifts! They are amazing. Such clear responses. Please don't ever stop doing what you do Dalen!! Love ❤ Love ❤️ Love ❤️

[@moonchild7963]

Roy what an amazing encounter to be able to connect with Danny. Thanks to Dalen, helping with this interaction. Danny is right don’t stop doing what you love, so pick up your guitar and play. Danny told me to tell you to call your new band could be REDEFINE.(look up the meaning) I hope that you and Danny get to talk again soon. Just remember that there are synchronicities (messages that are loved ones send us -just be aware of the signs that person would send) Love and light….. ❤
