We had a bathroom right next to our bedroom, and there was a window that looked out towards the pasture and you couldn't see anything out there, and I always had this feeling like I was being watched that window. I always just had this weird feeling. I can't even tell you how often I felt that way. And sometimes i'd closed the

1:32 window or closed a little, you know, drape, but I didn't always have one up there, but because I like to keep it open, but sometimes i'd have to close it. And anyway, this one night, I'm home by myself and I'm sound asleep, and I don't know if it was twelve one o'clock in the morning or what, but all of a sudden, this horrible smell woke me up. It was sewage and sulfur smell, and it just oh, it just I mean, it woke me up. It was horrible, and I could hear something shuffling on side of my house, like you know, I could tell something was out there. I have no idea why I didn't call the police. I have no idea I should have.

2:13 I don't know. It just never dawned on me, and I was thinking about calling my son in law or something, and I said, no, what if they get hurt? Why I thought that, but like, what if they get hurt? Or And when I woke up and I heard this, the feeling I had was I was terrified. I was literally terrified. I thought my life was Indeed, I thought I was going to die. I mean literally, I felt like I was going to die. It was the worst feeling I had ever felt. You know, I can't equate it to those experiences because I was still kind of young and it had been so long. But this experience I was I was like fear just all over throughout my body, and I kept thinking, you know, part of me wanted to look out the you know, well, first I did look kind of go in the bathroom. You know, I had the door open, and I'm looking. I'm hearing something shuffling, and I got a little flush and I'm kind of trying to and something tell me don't get close. I don't know why. Something was telling me don't get real close. So I'm trying to look out the wind. I could not see anything out that window.

3:22 Nothing out that window, and so I'm thinking, Okay, maybe I could go out into the living room and kind of look up through the shades, you know, and I opened my bedroom door, went out in the living room, and I'm thinking, no, no, I don't want to look out because I don't know what I'm going to see and I don't want to see something looking back at me. That's what went through my head. I don't want to look out, and I don't know why, but that's what my head was telling me. And then I checked the doors make sure, because I when I'm home by myself, I was double lock everything and so yeah, and then I kind of turned. I mean, I felt like I was walking in circles, like what do I do? And then part of me is like, well, maybe I could hide in the closet.

4:05 Maybe I could hide, and then some's like nope, we can find you, you know. And I don't even know where that came from, but it just felt like whatever it was could find me there. It told me, no, don't don't do it. I don't know if it was that or my head, you know, I can't say, but it was just weird, really weird. But I'd never ever smelt that before in my house, and it does it. We don't have a sewage line on that side of the house. It's in the front front of the house or you know, sewer line, and it was just the weirdest thing. And I never thought to go out and look for tracks or anything. But the next day my husband came home and I mentioned it to him. I don't think he took me seriously or something. I'm not really sure, but he kind of like, oh, okay, well whatever, you know. And but I tried to tell him, you know, something was out there, but and then there was a you know. And then the more we thought about that experience in living there one time because we had a hot tub in the back of our house on the side next to that pasture, and there was a chain lean. Eventually, after we moved there, the farmer put a chain link fence, and then my husband built a deck and we had a hot tub there in the corner. And this one night I was out lighting these little tea lights in these little glass containers along this little edge of our deck because we were going to get in the hot tub and there's no real lights out there, so I wanted some little lights. And I kept having this really weird feeling like something's there in the in the pasture and you can't

5:40 see out there. It's dark, and I just kept and I kept saying, oh, you're imagining, you're imagining, you know, And I kept lighting the candles and then you know, I got out in the tub first, and then finally I went in. You know, I felt really uncomfortable, so I went into my heusand I said, you're coming out or what because I wouldn't going to stay out there, and so he finally did. And we weren't out there maybe fifteen minutes and we heard like a I don't know, a gruff, a growl something, and I'm like, I'm out here, I'm gone. I was like I am too, and we left and we'd never had that experience before. It was just He's like, I don't know, and we didn't know what it was. We just said we're done, you know. I blew out the candles, I left, went in the house, and we were done for the night. And that was just really weird. We both felt very uncomfortable there in the hot tub there next to that pasture. And later, as I'm thinking about it, we had a sensory light up above our garage underneath the eve and one time I went out to go to work and there was glass in my driveway, and I'm thinking, how the heck did that break? Where the well? First I thought where'd the glass come from? It never dawned on me it was a motion sensor light. And come to find out, somebody had broke the motion sensor light out above our garage. And then another time we had a big trash can. They're pretty tall, like four feet tall or whatever, and they got a cover. You take it off, but it hangs.

7:09 You can't take it completely off. It'll hang, and then you put it back on. You put your trash in there, and we'd have it on side the house well. A couple of times I found trash. The trash had bin way over by the fence next to the pasture, and trash is pulled out of it, but the lids back on, and I'm picking up trash like, what the heck? You know, there's nothing in it. There's you know. I mean, if it would have been a raccoon or something, it'd and knocked it over, or a dog or anything like that. But there been rummaged through my trash and I never could figure out who was doing it. I only did it a couple of times, but it was just weird. And then before we moved, I'm going to say a year or two before we moved, is when I sometimes stuff would get knocked off our wall would be like something hit the house or throw something at the house. I thought it was just odd because like my clock in my bathroom fell and I thought, what the heck I mean? And unless we had an earthquake, the only way it could have just come off is that something hit the side of the house and you know, or my light in my bedroom would be swaying like, and I'm thinking, did we didn't We didn't have an earthquake. You know, it was just weird stuff like, and something was either throwing something. It wasn't happening a lot, but it did happen periodically. And then also I had purchased one of those because we didn't

8:39 have a doorbell, so I purchased one of those of you put a battery in it. I put it at the front door because you know, I couldn't always hear people knocking. And for the longest time, I'm going to say, for about three years or so, in the middle of the night, I hear the doorbell and I'd like what And so I'd get up and I'd look out, you know, I don't answer my door. I look out first, and that thing's there, No one's there, And you know, I mean where i'd look out my bedroom window. But usually i'd go up to the you know, outside my bedroom and look out the front window, and nothing's there. And that it would That didn't happen all the time, but every so often that doorbell would ring, now like twelve o'clock at night, one o'clock in the morning, eleven o'clock at night whenever. I mean, we usually went to bed about nine thirty, ten o'clock, and so usually, you know, twelve one o'clock, that doorbell, and I'm just like, what the heck I think? I think finally I'd just let the battery go out. I thought, no, you know, because it wake me up mill of the night. But just weird stuff. And the our street light was broke out. Yeah, just some some really weird things.

9:48 Were happy, and then we moved. And when we were moving, I was telling my second to the oldest daughter about, you know, feeling like someone was looking through the window. And her and her husband and my grandkids had lived with us for a while in that house, and when my husband and I went on a vacation. I said, hey, why don't you and your husband sleep in our room so you're, you know, away from the kids and whatever, since we're not going to be here. And she said, oh, okay, you know, so they slept in our bedroom and she said, mom, he said I would tell and her husband his name was Don. She said, I would tell Don to go close that window because I'm not going in there with that window open. She said, something's looking at me. And she said I always felt like something was looking at me. I said, what did you tell me? And she's like, I didn't think about it. I thought something was wrong with me or whatever. And she said I felt the same thing, and so I thought, well, if she felt it and I felt it, then something probably was. I don't know why the guys didn't feel that way, but me and my daughter felt the same way, like something's looking at us through that window. And I felt that way quite often. And it was so dark out there, and I was constantly trying to get my husband to put emotion since her out there, which he never did, but he did put one above the garage, but that kind of got broke out, you know, and then when I asked my husban about it, he said, I don't know why, I never he goes, I just thought it was the wind, I said, the wind breaking out emotion since there light, he goes, Well, I don't know, I don't think about it. And

11:20 I just said, you know, because after listening to a lot of podcasts about different things and people different experiences and watching that finding big I know a lot of people have, you know, joke about finding Bigfoot, but I'll tell you that was a big opener for a lot of people. I know it was for me and my husband. That really helped us open up our eyes to a lot of things and experiences that we were having in our life. So but you know, thank goodness for the podcasts and stuff, and for your podcast that you know. I really appreciate people sharing their experiences because if it hadn't been for that, I would not have realife all the things that we have. And my husband and I we love hiking, but we usually go hiking. I love waterfalls. We like to find waterfalls, but we usually go where other people. There's usually other people, I know, especially during COVID, where there were always a lot of people out there and one time. We were going to go hiking off I'm going to say a logging road and it had a closed gate and we we thought, well, we're going to walk up there anyway. And we got up there probably half a mile, and I told my husband, I said, you know, I think I want to just turn around go back because there was nobody else out there. And I started getting a little nervous, to be honest, and I just said, no, let's just turn around. Just wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you to you all my listeners for listening
