Pat's Ghost Stories -

[@PlaygroundTactix]

Pat: I had ghosts in my house Ian: Alright *immediately takes drink* laughed so hard

[@Roneekz]

Ian's skeptic face is so great.

[@subzero8679]

Ian is a fool. Spirits are most certainly real.

Pats spot on, I had a similar experience when i was 13. Im 40 now so it was a while ago now. My grandad passed away when i was 13 and i was very close to him. It was a major shock when he died. A few nights after he died i was in bed and the room temp dropped dramatically. I looked at my wall opposite my bed and there on the wall almost like an old cine camera projection was my grandad dressed in something blue with white round his collar and something red on his left side that looked like a flower. I was terrified even though i knew he wouldnt hurt me. I ran to my mom and told her what I saw and she got my dad and asked me to explain what i saw. Now my grandad is my dads dad and my dad was the last and only person to see him in the coffin before his funeral. My dad is a sceptic so he asked me a few questions to try and debunk what happened. So i explained what i saw, he was dressed in blue he had white round his collar and something like a red flower on him. My dad went white then asked me which side the flower was on so i told him it was on his left side. My dad was shocked and preceded to tell me that he was buried in a navy blue shroud with a white frilly collar. Now my grandad used to always have a poppy for remembrance sunday to honour all those that died in the great wars. Just before the coffin lid was closed my dad put a poppy on my grandads shroud on the left hand side where i saw it. Now no one knew my dad had done that at all. So my mom has gone into my room and it was that cold you could see your breath. My mom shouted out please leave him alone dad your scaring him. I never seen him since. True story. My nan actually got upset he never went to see her. The memory is as vivid today as it was back then. Just thought i would share my experience.

[@joerogaine3093]

I'm surprised at the number of skeptical children in the comment section. But i guess its easy to be skeptical when you're 15 years old and the only experience you have in life is staring at a computer screen watching Pewdiepie play video games.

[@joerogaine3093]

MaikuBoy1 I'm saying most of the skeptics in the comment section are kids with no life experience.

[@Jonqen]

Well experience has no scientific value. Some can experience Jesus and some cannot and so on

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

+Michael Lyons The fact that you mention science and skepticism in the same sentence as if the two always go hand in hand says it all really.

Pat you should call Chris Bores so he can investigate your ghosts!

[@DreamcastGuy]

I had a haunted Virtual Boy once. Everytime I played Panic Bomber this strange face would appear in the corner and once I even got to face against it in a level. Never seen it in any gameplay except for mine.

[@rickyrico80]

[@laprasking]

This is going to fuel some Pat the NES Punk creepypasta isnt it?

[@doctorfienstone2978]

Pat definitely needs to make more videos talking about this stuff. It was very interesting and gave me the chills a bit.

[@CoreyHart13]

gained alot of respect for Pat on this one, us not being aware of how to measure ghosts and us being energy are my thoughts exactly, very open minded and rational thinking.

[@teamhex]

I'm with Ian. It's just your fears. The brain controls everything you experience...so think about that.

[@BryanX64]

[@rickvince]

+Junior Sanchez Nothing does. It's not real and has literally never happened.

[@jaredmitchener9175]

teamhex how do you explain not negative ghost sightings? I had a very clear experience that was not negative and I was not in fear at all

[@fredspofford]

@@jaredmitchener9175 how do you explain dreams? Don't tell me the brain isn't op and not at least "capable" of producing 100% of what we think might be paranormal.

[@fungungus]

"I want to be a tree" Neat.

[@GTSJoeG]

Great episode and nice timing! Thanks Pat, for sharing these stories. Being a fan of retro video games and the paranormal, I found this episode very interesting. Thumbs up.

[@PumperKrickel]

In my old house I used to see doors opening and closing on their own, I would even lock the door at night and sometimes still see the doorhandle move. Once I saw the front door open and close and a shadowy figure came in and stomped up the stairs. I followed it and found absolutely nobody. I wasn´t really scared because I believed it was my grandma who had passed away.

[@PumperKrickel]

Josh Walker How would a recording prove that I am insane?

[@PumperKrickel]

Josh Walker There is no way of recording such things that would convince you, if it showed something you don´t believe in. Filming doors opening and closing independently is very easy to fake, shadow figures also very easy to fake with todays technology. So what would be the point? I could never convince you and I already am convinced.

[@PumperKrickel]

Josh Walker While I do not believe that ghost hunting would be defined as a hard science, it still exists. They have scientific methods.

[@yourepostedinthewrongneigh1545]

I was walking to the restroom in the dark and I tripped over a towel (in the dark, with moonlight as the only light source) and for a split second saw two silhouettes of people as I fell. I turned back and there was NOTHING, no lamps or figures that could give off a shadow.

[@80sHorrorCentral]

So glad you guys tackled this in your podcast cause I've been interested in Pat's ghost stories since he mentioned it a couple months back!!! Grew up in a haunted house and can totally relate!!! Pat, when's the next Punk episode dropping?!?!

[@AVSteve]

"I want to be a tree." Ian 2015 everyone

[@SuperMutant2099]

My old house was haunted here in NJ. My mom use to tell story of the guy who was walking down the street went behind a tree and disappeared. Didn't go into a house or car or anything. After my cat died I would see the appropriation of my cat from time to time out of corners of my eyes coming down the stairs. Then one night I heard cat meowing where her litter box was. Then the new house the door to apartment section was blocked with no one back there. I walked into apartment and lights were out. Voice as clear as day says "Don't turn on the lights" I run up the stairs. I'm calling my mom seeing if she is back there. She was upstairs. Everyone else in bed.

[@KaptainKlassic]

When I was about 6 or 7 years old i lived out in this farm house that my mom was renting out. I was the only one who seen stuff in the house. I don't know if you would call them "ghosts" or "demons" or whatever but I remember waking up 2 occasions and seeing something. One of those times I woke up and I seen a face that looked like scary mask that was floating and I was terrified. I ran downstairs and it was chasing me and as soon as I entered the kitchen (only room in the house with the lights on) it disappeared and my mom was in the kitchen. She didn't see anything but I remember what the face looked like in perfect detail to this day. Story told.

[@deanb6265]

This is my favorite video of pats. Really liked his story telling I could picture it very well. 😀

[@Sparksterfu]

I have never seen anything crazy but I have felt uneasy at houses others say are haunted long before they say anything of the place. I feel fine in my new house but in older houses like my grandmas I have felt a presence at times. I don't like to be alone there. I agree with pat, I am a chemistry major but I feel there are things outside the grasp of science as we know it now. Perhaps our understanding of space time is infantile and this unexplained phenomena will be explained in time.

[@Asshat331]

In my old house my mom had a angel and when her grandfather was dieing of cancer it started to slowly spin through-out the day. No one ever caught it spinning but it would face a different direction every time we thought to look at it.

[@MrLoretano77]

The description of your house sounds exactly like my grandparent's house in Metuchen New Jersey. My grandfather passed away in that house and we always thought he haunted it. You could even smell his cigarette smoke at night.

[@mysticalOldBard]

one time i took a dump and when i flushed it it was still there. scary stuff man

[@laurensauceda8204]

That's a really good way of explaining it Ian! 👍

[@VoidHalo]

I always had a lot of weird experiences in my old house I just moved out of a few months ago. I lived alone, and I'm a night owl, so late at night when it's completely quiet and nobody else is around, i'd often hear voices of people talking. Almost always a woman. I also often heard what sounded like Chinese and Russian radio broadcasts of some sort. But there was no obvious source for these sounds. I remember once about 8 years ago my daughter was staying over at my house one night, she was about 5 and we were both asleep in my bed. And in the middle of the night I woke up, I dunno maybe 2 or 3am, and I saw this grey figure standing at the foot of my bed. My logical reaction was to shriek like a banshee and for some reason make a mad dash for the light switch in the hall outside my room, instead of the light switch in my room, which was right over my head. My daughter for some reason didn't stir at all, despite all of the commotion. So the next day I figured it was just a dream, since my daughter should have woken up with my screaming so loud right next to her and what not. But I remembered scraping my hip on the latch for the door to my room while I was running to the light switch, and sure enough my hip was scraped up from that. So whatever it was, it really happened. In retrospect, I chalk it up to a sleep induced hallucination. I had another odd experience in too. It was 3am and I was in my living room on the computer. The only light on in the house was a lamp I had on next to the computer. I got hungry, so I decided to have a slice of pizza from the box that was sitting on my kitchen table. I went over to it, opened the box, stuck my head in and grabbed for a slice, not bothering to turn the light on in the kitchen, since the light coming from the living room made it bright enough for me to see. And out of the corner of my eye, hovering about 6in in front of my fridge was a bright, glowing, yellow ball of light, about the same size as a golf ball. As soon as I glimpsed it, I turned and looked directly at it, and it just sat motionless for a second. Then it just winked out of existence without a trace or a sound after I had looked at it or a second or two. The whole event didn't last long, but it certainly scared the crap out of me. I tried to figure out if there was any possible way the light could have been coming from outside, but there was no conceivable source that I could

[@virtzilla]

Okay, stupid question. If stairs go horizontally, are they just a bridge? In that same school of thought, if stairs go vertically are they just a ladder?

[@MrJimbofox]

Ian -- I couldn't agree more. I've been saying that same thing for years. Pat -- you're onto something with what you are alluding to re: energy. I think it's just science we don't yet understand.

[@MrJoanzi]

Thanks for sharing Pat.I know most of us who have been played with dont like to talk about any of the happenings,even more so if it touched or harmed.

[@alexfraser8352]

the other day in the bathroom i saw the bag of toilet paper crumple by itself...

[@EndUser2090]

genuinely scary stuff indeed. didn't expect that

[@JoeyHerbz]

[@efreeteater2270]

Please share more this year, Pat

[@04dram04]

The fact that you saw the white figure when you where half asleep, it was probably a hallucination. Having a hallucination as you are waking up from deep sleep is very common among some people. I have a couple a month, when I awake from a nightmare.

[@Zinfidel1]

I was around 11 and alone at my grandma's house in South Dakota at the time. Probably 10 or 11 am. I'm playing Diddy Kong Racing on N64 when i hear water running. Didn't think too much at first but then paused the game and tried to find the sound. Initial thought was a burst pipe. Checked the kitchen, no water. Opened the door to the creepy basement, nothing. I make my way to the back of the house where the bathroom is... And i hear water running.. The bathroom has no windows and is pitch black during the day. As i get closer, the water sound is definitely coming from the bathroom. I turn on the light and the sink is plugged and the water is running _hard._ Like full blast. The sink is completely full. The weird part was i've never seen anyone use the plug, it's a plunger type on the back of the sink. It wasn't a large sink to begin with so why plug it? My grandfather had a heart attack in the bathroom and died like 15 years before i was born. Thanks to Ghost Adventures, i've learned these type of hauntings are "residual" hauntings. Like a single frame inside an old tape film reel. A moment replaying in time. Scared the shit out of me. But since then, i've become fascinated with paranormal things including going into haunted places but never experiencing anything else. Also, lol @ Ian's complete dismissal of things people experience and witness. Alright buddy. Ian is wrong but that's okay. I watch Buzzfeed Unsolved to see a skeptic try to rationalize. Believers can't explain it either. I believe you Pat and agree with your take! It's not something we understand fully. Tell us more stories!

[@jamesographer]

you got that speaking voice pat, love ian and love this podcast

[@velocity73R]

I know exactly what you mean Pat, my first family home felt scary as fuck downstairs even with many people down there, and when you were alone, you never felt, 'alone'. When we were building the place I was only, '3' years old and my Grandfather passed away, and the upstairs was not done being built so we were all living in the basement. My Mom & Dad swear they heard footsteps up stairs, and my Dad swears they were the stride/step of my Grandfather. I never knew that tell years later, but everyone of us kids had some strange shit happen downstairs, no way in hell could I ever go back to live in that place even for a night! '

[@_blank_6288]

Damn, my father had a similar experience like your sister did in the house I grew up in. He got up in the middle of the night when I was an infant (I was wailing for some reason or another) to take care of me, and when he got there, my mom already had me, so he went to go back to sleep, and my mom was in the bedroom asleep still, so my dad rushed back to my room and I was on the floor out of my crib still wailing. They moved my crib into their room that day. lol. I can even remember seeing a figure standing at the top of our stairs when I was a child (ironically, in front of that room I was in as an infant), and my friends all saw it too, and most refused to spend the night because of it and because it happened so often. There are so many other stories too. It's fucked up to be real... I honestly don't know if what we all saw were ghosts, but there was something, because you could bring a person into the house and never tell them a thing and have them tell you they see objects moving/dark shadows/wisps/etc. later (because they'd freak out)...

[@nichecarved2433]

I grew up with stories like these from my friends family across the street from my old childhood home. I believed them and fully believed in ghost when I was young. I no longer believe in ghosts. I think the usual stories can be explained away either through old house/breeze, creeks, and electrical things. Electricity especially or even radio waves. I just haven't ever experienced my own ghost happenings. And if I did believe in ghost, such as the one my friend claims is in his upstairs part of the house, they aren't bothering anybody. It's chill as fuck. and if you think about what a modern ghost may do, it would just be checking it's phone all day. So no worries. I ain't afraid of no ghost.

[@menacexp]

great stories pat....would love to hear more if you had them\

[@AsahinaZatsu]

That's pretty interesting, I like that you believe in energy and spirits and whatnot. I've had several experiences like that myself. It is rather intriguing, thanks for sharing.

[@josephbearup4787]

Energy Cannot Be created or Destroyed so when our physical Body full of Emotion and Energy Dies is it just a Black Curtain that Says THE END? The night my grandmother died i was over 1000 miles away and had a Dream with her in it and she kissed me and said " Dont worry " and in the morning when i was told she passed i said " I know" was it her ghost? Probably not but her Energy? I think it was. its no longer Taboo to talk about Ghosts like it was 20 years ago and so many stories all cant be MADE UP. I personally believe once this Body Dies My energy is Free from the Human Restraints. But if thats not what others believe thats fine too

[@InazumaDash]

I've known people who woke up in the middle of the night saying "something happened". You turn on the news, a tsunami, terror attack or whatever happened and thousands of people had died. Even if it was on the other side of the globe. Same people also claimed they could see spirits or a spirit and followed them around until they decided to leave because everything was OK or they had found a girlfriend and weren't alone anymore. One dude believed his dead great grandpa watched over him just like that. People who knew him said he never smiled but when he did smile he never saw his ghost again.

[@rangerreview1780]

+TalesOfGamerz Anyone can do that. Like right now. I can say someone has died. And easily someone has. Either of old age, accident, murder. I can even say someone is watching Spaceballs movie. And I would most likely be right. There's 7 billion people. The chances of guessing right, is really high.

[@InazumaDash]

rangerreview That's not what I said. And no, anyone can do that. I know for a fact I never had the feeling. I've never woken up at night knowing thousands of people had died all at once. Of course people die of old age all the time, that's not the topic here. lol I still can't say if it's true or not but that's what they said and I've not met many people like that. And I'm not them so it's not my job to prove it. It's just a STORY.

[@MrMagz924]

+rangerreview My 8th grade science teacher woke up with a start at 4 in the morning with a terrible feeling that something bad had happened. She found out later that day that her dad's plane had just crashed at the time she had woken up. I have also heard other stories of similar situations like what TalesOfGamerz was talking about, so there must be something to it.

[@MrPuschel]

+TalesOfGamerz No offense, but horrible things happen every day on earth. And especially with certain news networks being focused on such events (as it brings viewers) it's VERY likely that you switch on news at any given time and see something bad that happened somewhere in the world.

[@dwarfbunni]

[@RetroGamePlayers]

I've always wondered about the ghost stories you have hinted at previously. I really got a kick out of the boot part! Some houses do exude a f'd up vibe for sure. Happy Halloween! !

[@DrumLaFlamme]

I grew up in an old farm house in very rural Maine. 40 minutes to the nearest grocery store in 2008. was used as a stage coach stop, and then a prison farm during the early 1900's. During the prison farm days, guy got off the chain gang, went to the house, killed the sheriff's wife and 14 year old son (I have newspaper clippings showing the blood stains in the kitchen), stole the old model A Ford, then went and killed his parents, his wife, and his children. after he was buried, the townspeople decided he didn't deserve a Christian burial. dug up his body, dragged it to the house and tried to burn it to the ground with his body in it. the house was saved but required major renovations over the next 50+ years. I've seen and heard so much messed up stuff in that house I can't even begin to describe it. straight up Stephen King shit. secret room under the spiral staircase that goes nowhere (ceiling was sealed to the third floor, it's literally a spiral staircase into the ceiling), dirt basement lined with Dexter style, translucent, white plastic. the original wallpaper (cowboys and Indians) is still hanging in the attic where said 14 year old kid had his room. little shutter doors where the slaves would pass food to the dining room from the kitchen... the place was never negative, but damn was it haunted. I'm with Pat on this topic. shit ain't no joke. edit: we discovered the history AFTER a lot of weird stuff occurred, not before. just to be clear.

[@TheRetroMess]

There was an article a little while ago that said that medical science has explained at least the "out of the corner of your eye" phenomenon. It has something to do with the inner part of your eyeball (the jelly or whatever) vibrating opposite to whatever is vibrating the air and it has to be a certain frequency. Kinda like the same oscillation phenomenon that made the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse or something. It like pushes against the retina or something and makes forms appear at the extreme edges of your vision. Don't quote me on that, I'm no medical scientist (so all the trolls can just sit and spin), but that's what I think I remember from that. But that still doesn't explain the forms you saw straight on.

[@chrisludwig5441]

I'm with Ian on this one and I think this whole ghost thing is something that is deeply rooted in american culture. I'm from germany and we don't have that. I have never met anyone in my entire life that told me something like what Pat described. Maybe it's because of the spiritualism movement in the 19th century or just plain halloween, but I've noticed that americans in general or much more open to the idea of ghosts or the supernatural. I don't want to offend anyone, I study media studies and think this is just very interesting.

[@BotanyofPickles]

Hey, Pat. I don't know if you did this because of my suggestion during another podcast awhile back or if this was just another one of you're awesome ideas, but I really appreciate this video. It was great :)

[@lockjaw467]

When ever you are feeling alone, just remember; something is watching you. You might not see it, it might not be friendly, but it is watching you : D Have a good night.

[@caloricfoil98]

I read this before going to bed... Thanks

[@TraderPat]

i believe you Pat. It's pretty badass that you scared a 7 foot tall shadow person. If your family still owns the house, go back and do a video in it.

[@jimobrien84]

My parents house from the 1880s a couple different areas that are affected by issues like that and even much worse. Everyone in my family has experienced them and most of our friends too. Had experiences in the middle of the day when I'm dead sober and in just about any other mental state you could be. Different kinds of experiences in different areas of the house too. Lots of things like Pat described happen on the 3rd floor of the house in addition to all kinds of sounds including the very seldom disembodied voice and the much more frequent sound of music that is very muffled and difficult to hear but always the same distinctive song. The family room and kitchen on the main floor have much more irregular disturbances. Loud aggressive sounding racket like somebody took the silverware drawer and threw it across the room. My father and I are both engineers so these things are definitely nothing that can be easily explained

[@kingbotzcustoms]

Pat, I don't know how the hell you spent another night in that house. Have you or anybody in your family looked into the history of that house and come up with anything? Stuff like that scared the s**t outta me as a kid, and STILL scares the s**t outta me to THIS DAY, because this really happens. Apparently you got somewhat used to it and accepted it to some degree, but I was always terrified of the "paranormal." I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in demons manifesting themselves as other things, even so-called "friendly" ghosts. There's no such thing as a "friendly-ghost." The so-called "friendly-ghosts" are what causes people to think they can contact their dead loved-ones through a Ouija-board or whatever, but that's not the case at all. "Satan disguises himself as an angel of light", couldn't be more true.

[@doctorfienstone2978]

You don't know what kind of ghosts there are. Stop acting like you're some sort of expert. None of us knows for sure whether or not the supernatural exists at all.

[@kingbotzcustoms]

+doctor fienstone I'm not some sort of God-damn "expert," but let me ask you this.....how the hell have ghosts HELPED us in ANY way whatsoever in the past?? NONE.

[@doctorfienstone2978]

And how do you know that? You don't. Not everyone is vocal about their experiences.

[@doctorfienstone2978]

As I said before, nobody knows for sure if ghosts even exist at all, and yet you claim to know that ghosts not only exist, but have never been helpful? Mmm-hmm

[@doctorfienstone2978]

Carbon monoxide doesn't cause hallucinations. It doesn't give any warnings at all. Hence why it's so dangerous.

[@sw1tched]

The only reason i guarantee there are ghosts of some sort is i was up playing video games with my sister in law for holidays in a house full of in laws sleeping. We were facing a open door into a hallway. her older sister was facing other direction playing zoo tycoon on PC. I saw a child peek around the corner into the room and disappear back behind door frame in the hallway. i was like nahhhh ..... then Ashley (sister in law) says "was that layne?" (her 6 yr old nephew sleeping upstairs). the adrenaline rush that shot through me was like nothing i have ever felt, especially when we got up to find entire house asleep and closed up.

[@KrazyContraptions]

"I want to be a tree" lol

[@BenVanatoo]

Pat, please do an overnight stay all-nighter episode in the haunted part of your house and make an episode about it.

[@rundownaxe]

I've always been skeptical until I went to an old abandoned psychiatric institute with a feew friends. The Dorea institute if you want to check it out. We were exploring one of the buildings. Opening doors as we went. We went through the first and second floor and we decided to check out the basement. As soon as I took the first step on the stairs the doors on the first and second floor started slamming shut. BANG BANG BANG BANG.... BANG BANG BANG. Then it stopped. We all just stood there looking at each other. After a few seconds our gaze all went to the top of the stairs. To that one room with a shock therapy chair in it. The door slammed itself shut right in front of us. Not like if it was an air currrent. You know the door slowly shutting and the at the last second picks up speed to slam. No it was like someone kicked it shut really hard. We all took off running. When we got to the car everyone was fucking shaking. One of us simply said: There's absollutely no wind. The leaves in the trees aren't even moving. What the fuck was that?

[@ACrownofFlowers]

much of the hallucinations during sleeping can be attributed to parts of the body being conscious before others which can lead a person to still be in somewhere over dream state so they see those things, such as a figure that you saw.

[@MFM1850]

For any of you skeptics, until you actually see something or are a part of something "paranormal" you will always hate on the people who say they have had such experiences.

[@nlw1000]

Ive been told by both of my grand mothers that me and two of my cousins had experiences. my mom's mother said i saw my dead grandpa while on a walk with her when is was two years old. why does she think this well apparently i used to dance for him so on instinct i guess i did. my cousin on my fathers side was told he was visited by my father's and his mother's father at the age of 4. he was told to look after the family apparently. he had never met nor seen our grand pa but when shown a photo of him he said that it was him. my other cousin on my mothers side was being watched by my great grand ma and was coming out of a nap from watching his not 2 months old self and said she saw an angle hover above his crib. for the next few month my aunt never left his side.

Ghosts are "more logical" than aliens? .............okaaaaaaaaaaayyy...................................

+Pat the NES Punk You are right. That is silly.

Secondly, there's no direct response I could give to your statement that wouldn't come across as extremely hostile and condescending, and given I was just making a lighthearted joke to begin with, I don't particularly feel like being baited into yet another petty internet squabble over religious beliefs and the intelligence of those who hold them. Have a happy Halloween.

[@joerogaine3093]

jordanromaker Well you're on an American website so expect to get American statistics.

When Pat mentioned that the furnace was directly outside of his bedroom, the first thought that came to mind was "carbon monoxide poisoning". Google "haunted houses carbon monoxide poisoning" for the explanation.

my very first (and rather distinct, compared to other nearly non-existent memories of the same era) memories is from 7 and/or younger, when there were 3-5 balls of light hovering near me and talking to me via .... chords, basically

1:30 i cant get comfortable in this wooden chair, guess that means its haunted.

[@chanceishikawa1699]

When I saw a girl with a knife's shadow walking along my wall I became a believer of supernatural spirits. "Ghosts" is the wrong word. If your house was built in the 1960s I find it hard to believe a spirit got attached. If you had an attic or cellar there very well could have been some old personal items in there that a spirit could have been attached to. The fact that you have visual apparitions is very serious, especially a black mass.

[@Gent82]

What you saw is a 'shadow person'. I've read plenty of real life stories like this and what you described fits other people's experiences EXACTLY. The height, appearence, feeling, everything you described is consistent.

[@animovie1]

Ian's face says it all 😂

[@FireMrshlBill]

I know people who had similar experiences. I'm with Ian on the collective experience thing. Someone see's something because of some weird light or reflection. Later on someone sees something similar and thought it was a boot and tells the first person, then the first person pictures a boot in that situation and automatically associates it with their memory. I was able to picture a boot in a house just from your description so it is entirely possible for the above scenario to happen. Then person 3 hears their stories and whenever something catches their eye, they automatically associate the boot with it. Just my opinion with not much knowledge on how the brain really associates memories and whatnot.

[@shadow6543]

Pat have you or anyone in your family looked into the history of the house? the only time I ever felt something unearthly was when I was a kid in my grandmothers house I was lying in bed and I felt the mattress beneath me move up as if someone underneath was pushing it up no one else was in the room to my knowledge so it definitely could have been a cousin trying to mess with me

[@dustinb419]

Me AND my brother both seen a shadow man run across the wall in a room with curtains and no possible way to create moving shadows. We were playing Call of Duty and seen it at the same time, both turned and looked at eachother in amazement/confusion. The figure was the same tint as a dark shadow, but the outline of was very clear, i remember it vividly.

[@dustinb419]

where is the part I said there is no windows? o.O

[@dustinb419]

[@HB-mj2jz]

When i was about 16 i drove a scooter with a friend on the back of it. It was late and on the path suddenly walked an old man. We both saw him. I turned the scooter since it was 1am and we wondered what he was doing that late. he was gone! And there was no where he could have gone to in that 30 secs! As i said we both saw the man. That is one of many unexplainable things i have seen or did happen to me. So yes i believe there is something more.....and for sure that was not a hallucination or dream state thing since we both whitnessed the same thing!

[@Rocky32189]

Ian know he's full of crap but doesn't want to tell him to his face lol

[@InazumaDash]

+Rocky32189 It's not Ian's job to say if it's bullshit or not. He doesn't believe but Pat does. There's no point in mocking each other for it.

[@LimitedInfinity9]

+Rocky32189 I'm pretty sure Ian believes Pat had the experiences he says he had, he just disagrees with the conclusions that were reached.

[@pxlsicle]

+LimitedInfinity9 bingo!

[@joerogaine3093]

+Ian Ferguson You're just in denial because the spiritual world contradicts your atheist point of view.

[@pxlsicle]

***** ok

[@Eazy_Bruh]

I knew that Ian would say he doesnt believe in that kind of stuff lol

[@Physick1]

A lot of spooky stuff that happens when people wake up or sleep is due to sleep paralysis. Feel a presence in the room and you can see things. You feel trapped since your brain hasn't turned your body back on yet. I remember seeing shit fly at me when this would happen and would feel serious dread. Still experience now and then but I know what it is so there is no fear just annoyance lol.

"I want to be a tree." - Ian, 2015.

[@daleva187goligo]

I got a phone called by a ghost one time lol no lie! my brother was having a little get together in the living room with some friends and his girlfriend while my parents were out of town for the weekend and so they didn't know he was entertaining, I was in my parents room watching tv, I didn't know any of his friends and they probably didn't even know I exist let alone my name, hes older, so someone calls the house phone (this was the early 2000s) and I answer, and it sounded like someone who was is a big hurry saying my name like 2 times telling me to put jennifer on the phone (my brothers girlfriend) and so I walked to the living room and handed her the phone and nobody was on the phone, they hung up, so I figured that was really weird but no big deal whatever I was like 16, I found out later that my brothers girlfriend had a ghost in her house and I saw a picture of it, it was really scary looking, u can see the figure of a boy in one of those long mirrors in her room, the figure was all different kinds of colors but u can clearly see eyes a mouth and a face and a body... there's no other explanation of who could have called, like literally NOBODY that knew my brothers girlfriend knew me or my name

[@daleva187goligo]

+daleva187goligo I don't know why I didn't think to ask who it was, maybe cuz they seemed to be in a hurry by the tone of their voice, and I dont think there was caller ID on that particular phone and it never occurred to me to use *69, I was just like whatever, didn't think much of it at the time, was still trying to process it I guess or maybe I thought I would eventually find out later who called like it would reveal itself, but it never did

[@rundowndruid]

more flea market madness love those episodes

[@drud-dh4ev]

I'm sure it was just Frank!

[@DJErrn]

Well if nothing else it was a nice seasonal story, I thought it was fun to hear.

[@TheIronicTea]

What? Pat believes in ghosts? ........ Ooooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Ian tries to say indirectly that ghosts are bullshit without saying Pat's stupid, this is hilarious. Lol Pat at 9:40 is pissed off.

[@howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437]

you know you can detect when someone is near you while you sleep, thats why i just skip sleep

[@FrunkNStein]

I aint fraid of no ghosts! Great stories Pat

[@themok2991]

And as the white boot faded down the hallway a ghostly voice could be heard to say "Little bitch!"

[@David-tm7xb]

Explain this... Hearing a voice out of middle of an apartment say "hello?" No windows or anything... Later had friend from apartment ask me if a girl was in my room because they stopped by and knocked on my door (I didn't hear because took shower hour after voice) and said they heard a voice say "we're busy"... There are a lot of things that can be explained away by perception but this incident seemed to be a lot more than simply hallucinations or coincidence. Just a thought/story.

[@jaredmitchener9175]

Pat, I know this video is old but I understand exactly what you're saying. I've had similar experiences

[@DelrueMadden]

My house has horizontal stairs. I think it's called a wallway or hallwalk or something like that.

[@DelrueMadden]

Woa! Look at the rich kid over here!

[@xplatypus516]

This freaked me the fuck out late at night lol

[@wetvein4908]

Pat was visited by the "Read-a-Long" boot lol. -Read-a-long = Weird Canadian educational show in the late 70's and early 80's. - it gave me nightmares. (ya, i'm old)
