Chapter 1: What is the magic potion in today's episode?

56.89 - 76.167 Macy

So this is the only other way. All right. Well, so it's going to be a spooky one. Lock in. I'm nervous. Bustle your seatbelt, as you say. Yeah, I'm pretty nervous. My hands are sweating already and we haven't started talking. Before we begin, our tea today is David's Tea Magic Potion. We're going to do a live magic potion here. As you can see, I have limes because we didn't have lemons.

0

76.307 - 96.262 Macy

It has black currant, apple, butterfly, pea flower, rosehip, raspberry, blackberry, stevia, natural flavorings. For a blueberry, kiwi, and blackcurrant. Okay. Yeah. But because it's a butterfly pea, it's called magic potion. And if you put some citrus in it, like a lemon or lime, it changes colors. And we're going to see that today. And we figured we'd show you too, because we were very intrigued.

0

96.462 - 104.688 Macy

I'm going to be so upset if we're like, and nothing happens. Or like your limes aren't very juicy. Yeah, it's going to be. No, they are. They are. So let's go.

0

Chapter 2: How does the tea change color?

114.761 - 119.928 Natalie

All right, so we'll show the color before. It is...

0

121.781 - 140.495 Macy

It looks a lighter blue until it starts to all come together, and then it kind of looks like NyQuil. But I like it. I like that blue color. Yes. You want to stir up your sugar first? It's very pretty. Okay. Pause for stirring noises. It's blue now. Yes. It's supposed to be purple. I want to try it first. Do our magic over here. Without the lime, if it changes anything. Okay. That's fine with me.

0

140.515 - 172.926 Macy

Observe. Refreshing. You know what? It's a good springy flavor. I... I notoriously don't like anything. That's pretty good. That's good. I like that a lot. I think I would drink this iced. This feels more agreed, like a summery one. All right, are we ready? This is a big lime. Can everyone see? I'm nervous. Hello? Wait, it's changing. Look at that at the bottom. Okay, hey, calm your screams.

0

172.946 - 202.761 Macy

That's loud. Okay. Oh my goodness. I really hope y'all can see that. It's like pinky purple. I'll add more lime just to... I'll add more lime. We're really from Texas. Okay. It's going to be really limey now. That's okay. I like limes. Let me hide this little... You going to stir it up or not? I am. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's like... Like more pink color. Oh, magic. Wow. What an experience. Observe.

0

202.902 - 226.054 Macy

Oh, that's hot. That is so cute. I am thoroughly enjoying this. Yes. Sorry. I'm having fun. We should just do a science channel. Like this is enough for me. Like we can end it here. Yeah. I sit, watch nobody be able to tell. I know it's just going to be black and then a lighter black. I know I'm trying to see, but take our word for it is now a purpley and this one was blue.

226.434 - 243.321 Macy

If you can, you can kind of see it from that. I don't know. Compare the colors. No, everyone's gonna be like, no, I'm so sorry. I really hope you can see it. Should take pictures. That was a long, very, very long process, but all right. If you can't see it here, we have pictures that we've inserted by now. I'm happy. We have to start a science channel. That was really cool.

243.421 - 264.07 Macy

It's another thing we don't know anything about, but we can make it work. Too limey? You want to pour some more? No, it's okay. That's a lot of lime. You probably should have kept it with just the one lime. Yeah, but it made it better. It's pretty. It is really cute. I love that. I wish all teas changed color. Me too. That was neat. It really was. All right. Now to the horror of the day.

264.81 - 284.79 Macy

Something so light and now darkness. Our first story comes from Bree and they wrote trigger warning for talking about unaliving. And again, I'd like to say in the description, we will have resources if you or anybody you know is suffering with or dealing with any mental health issues, particularly thoughts of suicide. There will be links in the description for hotline numbers and you can call.

Chapter 3: What is Bri's terrifying dream story?

284.87 - 287.854 Macy

Please get some help if you need help because we all want you here. Yes.

0

299.105 - 299.245 Natalie

Yeah.

0

299.265 - 299.786 Natalie

Know what I mean?

0

308.073 - 323.925 Macy

Agreed. So Brie said, Hey y'all. So this story is super long, but I promise it's scary AF and worth reading. My name is Brie and my story takes place, I want to say, my junior or senior year of high school. Anyways, one night after school, I had fallen asleep in my mom's room. I was really tired after gymnastics practice.

324.186 - 340.416 Macy

And since it was only me and my mom in our household at the time, it wasn't uncommon for me to sleep in her bed. I remember her coming into her room around 9 p.m. asking if I was staying in her bed for the night or if I was going to my room. I was already super comfy in her bed, so I said, eh, I'll just stay here. Your bed is comfier. And I fell asleep.

340.797 - 353.705 Macy

Let me make it clear that this all happened in my dream. So in my dream, I woke up. And as soon as I wake up, I get a super uneasy feeling. Something is in the room and it's not good. For reference, let me explain the layout real quick.

354.206 - 371.52 Macy

The bed is in the middle of the room against a huge window with two or more windows on the right-hand side, a dresser and a small closet on the left, along with the entrance and a TV and another nightstand across the bed. Next to the TV, there is a clock. Okay, so I wake up in my dream, feeling uneasy, and I sit straight up. I look at the clock and it's 6.33 a.m.,

373.081 - 387.055 Macy

I'm scanning the room, looking for whatever is making me feel uneasy, but there's nothing. I nudge my mom, who is facing away from me towards the two windows and say, mom, there's something here. Her being very Catholic mumbles, you're okay, mija, just pray and you'll feel better. This went on for a few minutes.

Chapter 4: How does Kai's family demon haunting unfold?

726.46 - 751.014 Macy

a similar body to the tall skinny red monsters from that movie large hands with long claws about seven feet tall and impossibly thin where they differ is the head and skin color mine has bold blue skin it's actually a beautiful deep shade of blue his head is large and squarish and it comes to a sharp jagged point in several places oh and he doesn't hunch over like the scooby-doo monsters he stands straight up dude how funny i forgot about that i have a gift

0

751.834 - 774.886 Macy

i know what's about to happen that's scary that's terrifying that she sees that in real life though oh that is but i'm trying to distance that out of my brain are you vindicated i am because every time we talk about a tall creature i'm envisioning the spooky island creatures secondly i'll list some of the frequent occurrences that happen often and don't warrant their own story cabinets and doors opening and closing by themselves the door to the garage unlocking itself at night

0

775.166 - 792.457 Macy

Heavy footsteps in the attic. Our attic is very small crawlspace. No one could stand in it, let alone walk or run. Knocking coming from the inside of my fiance's closet, like it's standing inside the closet knocking to be let out. No. Something invisible sitting or lying next to me in bed. Something slowly and deliberately pulling the blanket off of us.

0

792.698 - 811.13 Macy

It often confronts me in my dreams, giving me frequent nightmares. Some of these are interesting, so let me know if you'd like me to write in with the greatest hits. Yes. But we want to hear all of your nightmares. Let's interpret them together. Let's have a live session where we interpret our dreams. Yes. Coming soon to Patreon. We say that. We say that and then there's no Patreon ever. I know.

0

811.33 - 828.922 Macy

We get too scared. Waking up with bruises or cuts on my wrists and ankles. And finally, before we really get into it, I'd like to mention a few things. I like that these are just like the quick hits and they're terrifying all on their own. The bruises and the wrists. I mean, the ankles and the wrists. So it's like you're being tied down. That just made my inside of my skull itch.

829.922 - 843.45 Macy

How do you... I don't know, but it, like, scared me. Okay. It's in, like, a wave. Honestly, I am getting really scared right now. I feel like I just took a few shots of, like, espresso, and I... This is caffeine-free tea. I was gonna say, this is decaffeinated tea. I've really tried to get rid of it.

843.75 - 860.259 Macy

I've had my home blessed several times and done many incense and sage cleansings, but nothing works. At my previous apartment, my neighbor's pastor asked him to warn me of something evil attached to me, and he offered to bless me in my home. The pastor knew my name despite never meeting me. He said someone came to him in a dream... and told him about me.

860.58 - 860.96 Natalie

No.

861.5 - 880.448 Macy

A few years ago, my friend had a witch come do fortune telling for me as a birthday gift. She arrived at my home and told me she was sorry, but the spirit she communicated with in her work refused to come, so she couldn't do my reading. They told her they were afraid of the old evil thing that clung to me. She gave me a protection spell in a jar and left. I have to assume she was legit.

Chapter 5: What chilling encounter did Jessica have?

1499.585 - 1517.601 Macy

I wasn't asleep, but I wasn't awake at the same time, and started to have an almost out-of-body experience. I could see myself sleeping in my bed with my back to the mirror. Suddenly, I felt a burning sensation from the nape of my neck all the way down my spine. I looked to the mirror, and I watched a thin, bony, gray creature crawling out.

0

1517.821 - 1536.431 Macy

As soon as the creature creeps out of the mirror, my body feels paralyzed, like fingers tingling and everything. My throat is tight, as if I couldn't breathe. The creature crawls its way over on its hands and feet and climbs on top of me. Its hands and legs were on either side of my body, caging me in, leaning its face down to meet my own.

0

1536.751 - 1560.044 Macy

It pulled a cruel, sharp-toothed grin and began to speak in the voices of my loved ones, as if shuffling between the voices of my deceased dad, mom, and older brother. It didn't sound exactly like them. Very scratchy. Like some old-timey record player. I can still remember what it said. You are worthless. You're stupid. You're a fat pig. You deserve to die. You should kill yourself. Oh my god!

0

1560.064 - 1577.035 Macy

No one loves you. Your father didn't love you. Your mother doesn't love you. Your brother doesn't love you. I could do nothing but cry in this frozen, sleeping state as the creature laughed and taunted. Though, as it began to speak again and continued its taunting, it said my brother's name. For some reason, that clicked something in the back of my mind.

0

1577.295 - 1618.234 Macy

Still having this wild, out-of-body experience, I can hear myself starting to speak, starting to scream. You don't know me. You don't know my family. Get out. Get out. Get the F out. I haven't had another tense experience like that again until recently. Oh, no. Let me know if you want to hear more. Much love and light. Anonymous. You know what? Normally, I would say, why? No, I'm good for now.

1618.474 - 1639.688 Macy

Tell me that later. Tell me your extra one later because that... That was so terrible. Why are we having things come and say such horrible stuff in the dream? Twice. That is why, to me, it is demonic. Yeah. Because they, like demons, will try to make you... be in the lowest state possible. Cause they're, you're easier to, to act upon.

1639.728 - 1659.175 Macy

You're easier to feed on for lack of a better word, you know, when you're at your lowest and your weakest spiritually and mentally. Yeah. And so they want you there and they want to keep you there. I'm so glad that they had that out of body experience and was able to see this and be able to get themselves out of this, you know, and they realized like, get out, get out. You don't know me.

1659.215 - 1676.182 Macy

You don't know my family, you know, nothing. And you don't belong here. Well, I like that. I wish I could say that in like a customer service setting, though. Get out of here. Yeah. Sorry. Trying to lighten the mood. That was a lot. I feel very not good. I like that ending, except for the fact that they had another experience. But yeah, I like the ending of that one. Yeah.

1676.202 - 1690.449 Macy

I'm sorry you experienced that. A lot of these people are a lot stronger than me. I don't know. You never know. If you're in that situation, you might. And I don't want to find out. No. I'm not welcoming anything. I am closed off. We're good. Love and light. From all external things. Our light bubble is expanding out and pushing all the negativity.

Chapter 6: What harrowing experience did Ariya share?

3228.726 - 3243.275 Macy

He would move around whenever it was dark into different corners. I'm pretty sure he is the one who made me so angry all the time and influenced me to hurt myself. Carol here. As we were discussing this topic, Eliza just threw a pack of gum to distract my cat after I referenced an earlier comment and said... I can say that he liked blood.

0

3243.436 - 3261.694 Macy

She looked at me and said, I just had deja vu and I needed to change the timeline. I don't remember throwing gum. So yay for terrifying. Oh my God. That's so interesting to like... I never altered the timeline with doing something random. I never knew that was a thing because every time I have deja vu, I'm like... I know it's going to happen. And I just let it play out. I know me too.

0

3261.854 - 3279.14 Macy

Why'd she need to change the timeline? I don't know. Anyway, the thing in the back corner is still the voice I hear telling me bad things about myself. And he still craves blood. There are two times that he prevented me from praying. Once was in my room and the other time was in the back garden. I couldn't utter the words of a prayer. I couldn't remember how to pray at all.

0

3279.4 - 3284.162 Macy

And I couldn't speak any words for help. That is a demonic attack. Like I've heard people...

0

3284.662 - 3309.793 Macy

when they talk about demonic attacks won't say that they'll they'll prevent you from praying from like asking god for help because that's your defense i mean yeah that is so frightening i'm so sorry when i would try there was just anger surrounding me and it was as if my mouth forgot how to say the words i was so scared because i couldn't talk i laid on the floor for nearly an hour sobbing until i could speak the words my soul was crying out something was fighting the thing back and it wasn't me the thing was the straw that broke the camel's back

3310.453 - 3326.424 Macy

I got tired of walking to my room being exhausted from school already and being scared I was going to be attacked. I started telling him, I've had a long day. Don't mess with me right now or I will punch you. This is the time that I was learning that we have authority over places and even a regular Christian had the ability to cast out demons through Christ.

3326.584 - 3346.177 Macy

I had always thought it had to be a priest or a pastor or someone of more faith than me. One night I was fed up and I started saying, in the name of Jesus Christ and his power, get out of my room, get out of my house, leave me alone. I repeated that until the sun came back up and I knew he left. Until I cast the thing in the back corner, none of the animals would stay in my bedroom. Oh my god.

3346.437 - 3363.487 Macy

Caro's notes. The thing in the back corner is real, even if I never saw him. I didn't like Eliza's room in the dark. Once I read my dreams to Eliza, she asked if I thought that it was strange that in both my dreams, there were three entities, the little demon and the characters in my room, comparing them to the girl, Mr. Nails, and the thing in the back corner.

3363.647 - 3383.342 Macy

That's my analysis that makes my stomach hurt at the thought that they might have tried to touch me before they found the easier target. I don't like the threes. And there's like these three monsters that's terrorizing Eliza and the three in each of Karo's dreams too. Yeah. That's an interesting connection. And I wouldn't have made that unless they said it.

Chapter 7: What supernatural events do Caro and Eliza recount?

3907.829 - 3925.179 Macy

You guys are really doing something special with this community you've built. Last June, I had to suddenly quit my nursing job due to being asked to do things outside of my scope of practice, then being shamed for not being a team player. I've heard that. I have too. From a lot of people. I started my nursing career in the emergency room in 2019, right before COVID hit.

0

3925.579 - 3943.541 Macy

So after this being my third job in four years, I was ready to leave nursing entirely. My friend then introduced me to contract nursing. And now I drive all over Texas to give IgG infusions to patients in their homes. It was scary and lonely at first, but then I discovered your podcast. You guys have the perfect level of spooky and coziness while also being very personable and funny.

0

3943.721 - 3964.976 Macy

You guys make these super long drives so much less lonely. And the listener stories also feel like we are all just at a sleepover exchanging spooky stories over the campfire. You both seem like such kind and genuine souls. Aww, that's so nice. That was really nice. That was like... Fed my soul. Yeah. Thank you. Made me want to cry also, Texas. Yeehaw.

0

3965.176 - 3986.543 Macy

So in my early 20s, I was going down a not so great path while in nursing school. I had this boyfriend who was much older than me. He had a kid that he no longer had custody of, and little did I know, a drug problem. What can I say? I was young, dumb, and naive. Anyways, the reason I give backstory on this is so you understand that he had this darkness around him. Bad things happened to him a lot.

0

3987.023 - 4004.697 Macy

He actually almost died after we broke up because he flew through a windshield after a night of partying. He's fine now, had a broken hip, but walks fine. One night, we both were cuddling in bed after watching the movie Django. We were at his house. The rest of the family was not home at the time. I rolled over to lay on his chest while the DVD player kept playing the Django music over and over.

4004.938 - 4025.933 Macy

Then, almost as if it was in the room with us, a loud, hushed whisper almost shouts his name, Nico. I felt that awful, cold chill run down the back of my neck. Are you okay? Kayla's dog's name. My eyes shot open and I turned to look at his face. His eyes were wide open, staring straight up at the ceiling. I whispered to him, did you hear that? He didn't so much as move a muscle.

4026.253 - 4045.506 Macy

He very quietly whispered, yes. I immediately got up to turn the light on, telling him I was going to sleep in my dorm tonight instead. He agreed and walked me to my car. We didn't speak of the event ever after that day until maybe a few weeks later when we were on the phone. I asked him if I could ask him a question. I asked him if he heard the voice whisper his name. He once again said, yes.

4045.786 - 4063.023 Macy

The line went dead. It took a minute, but he called me back and he was like, the power just went out randomly in our house. And I got really scared. And I was like, OK, we can't talk about this ever again. Way later, sometime in person, we did talk about it. And that was when he told me his mom had taken him a few years ago to someone who practiced what he called Santeria.

4063.263 - 4075.167 Macy

I know very little about this myself, but all that is relevant to this because he and his family are Catholic. But they took him there because they thought he had something demonic attached to him. What prompted his mom to take him was them finding three scratches on his mid-back.
