8
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:33,570
have a true story to share this occurred

9
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:37,230
in 1968 when I was 8 years old my family

10
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:39,540
lived in a large Ida line 8 style home

11
00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:42,150
in western Pennsylvania it had been my

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:44,400
father's home when he was a boy and had

13
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:46,890
been in his family since the 1850s at

14
00:00:52,579 --> 00:00:49,440
the time my paternal grandparents were

15
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,589
living there as well in fact my aunt and

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:54,960
cousins also lived in separate apartment

17
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,610
that had been built on to the original

18
00:01:00,860 --> 00:00:59,280
house we were a very tight-knit family

19
00:01:02,889 --> 00:01:00,870
who were involved with a lot of the

20
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:02,899
Civic activities in our small community

21
00:01:07,999 --> 00:01:05,729
my grandmother loved to read stories to

22
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:08,009
me and my cousins though most of the

23
00:01:12,889 --> 00:01:10,830
time it was only myself she had a large

24
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:12,899
sitting room on the second floor filled

25
00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:16,110
with 19th century antiques she preferred

26
00:01:19,999 --> 00:01:18,180
to read by candlelight as she did when

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:20,009
she was a girl growing up in the same

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:22,530
house the atmosphere in the room was a

29
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:25,170
throwback to a more simple time this

30
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:27,060
particular evening had an ominous

31
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:27,990
feeling to it

32
00:01:32,539 --> 00:01:30,330
it was early July and the house was

33
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,549
exceptionally warm there had been a

34
00:01:36,649 --> 00:01:34,560
series of thunderstorms with pouring

35
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:36,659
rain off and on for several hours I

36
00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:39,150
tried to get comfortable in the sitting

37
00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:41,100
room while listening to my grandmother

38
00:01:45,499 --> 00:01:43,079
read but there was little relief

39
00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:45,509
she had just read a short story from

40
00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:47,670
Grimm's fairy tales titled gods food

41
00:01:53,539 --> 00:01:50,790
this is from that story there were once

42
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,549
upon a time two sisters one of whom had

43
00:01:58,190 --> 00:01:55,680
no children and was rich and the other

44
00:02:00,170 --> 00:01:58,200
had five and was a widow and so poor

45
00:02:02,929 --> 00:02:00,180
that she no longer had food enough to

46
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:02,939
satisfy herself and her children in her

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:05,369
need therefore she went to her sister

48
00:02:10,609 --> 00:02:08,250
and said my children and I are suffering

49
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:10,619
the greatest hunger you are rich

50
00:02:15,229 --> 00:02:12,930
give me a mouthful of bread the very

51
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:15,239
rich sister was as hard as a stone and

52
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:17,880
said I myself have nothing in the house

53
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:20,130
and drove away the poor creature with

54
00:02:25,069 --> 00:02:22,980
harsh words after some time the husband

55
00:02:27,259 --> 00:02:25,079
of the rich sister came home and was

56
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:27,269
just going to cut himself a piece of

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:29,370
bread but when he made the first cut

58
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:32,130
into the loaf out flowed red blood when

59
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:34,260
the woman saw that she was terrified and

60
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,449
told him what had occurred he hurried

61
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:38,400
away to help the widow and her children

62
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:38,910
but

63
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:40,830
when he entered a room he found her

64
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:42,990
praying she had her two youngest

65
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:44,850
children in her arms and the three

66
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:47,370
eldest were lying dead he offered her

67
00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:49,890
food but she answered for earthly food

68
00:02:54,770 --> 00:02:52,620
have we no longer any desire God has

69
00:02:56,450 --> 00:02:54,780
already satisfied the hunger of three of

70
00:02:59,480 --> 00:02:56,460
us and he will hearken to our

71
00:03:01,370 --> 00:02:59,490
supplications likewise scarcely had she

72
00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:01,380
uttered these words than the two little

73
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:03,540
ones drew their last breath whereupon

74
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:06,090
her heart broke and she sank down dead

75
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:08,850
after she read the story I told her that

76
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,650
I was going to the kitchen to get a

77
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:13,200
drink of cold water she looked over at

78
00:03:17,870 --> 00:03:15,450
me and said don't be long you may miss

79
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:17,880
something I ran down the hallway to the

80
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:20,640
kitchen and got my drink I started to

81
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:22,620
walk back towards the sitting room when

82
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:24,870
I noticed a wispy white cloud rush out

83
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:27,030
of the sitting-room doorway and into my

84
00:03:31,730 --> 00:03:29,250
grandparents bedroom across the hall I

85
00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:31,740
was startled and immediately overcome

86
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:34,020
with dread and apprehension I walked

87
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:35,880
slowly into the sitting room and knew

88
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:37,560
right away that my grandmother had

89
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:38,400
passed away

90
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:41,400
that same night my grandfather who had

91
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:43,350
been feeling ill and was lying on his

92
00:03:48,050 --> 00:03:45,270
bed at the time my grandmother died

93
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:48,060
passed away in his sleep a few years

94
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:50,550
later my fifth-grade teacher gave each

95
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:52,709
one of my classmates a list of literary

96
00:03:57,230 --> 00:03:55,200
collections in which we were assigned to

97
00:04:00,050 --> 00:03:57,240
pick a few favorite short stories and

98
00:04:02,510 --> 00:04:00,060
give a report to the class Grimm's fairy

99
00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:02,520
tales was part of the list and I had no

100
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:04,590
intentions on using any of the titles

101
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:06,990
the next day my friend and classmate

102
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:10,050
Linda came to my house after school we

103
00:04:13,729 --> 00:04:11,880
were talking about the assignment in

104
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:13,739
discussing which titles we would chose

105
00:04:18,890 --> 00:04:16,260
as we read down the list we came to

106
00:04:21,979 --> 00:04:18,900
Grimm's fairy tales immediately Linda

107
00:04:24,409 --> 00:04:21,989
said nope no Grimm's fairy tales I asked

108
00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:24,419
her why she explained that something

109
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:26,040
weird happened to her when she was

110
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:27,870
younger and that Grimm's fairy tales

111
00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:31,050
brought back terrible memories Wow I

112
00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:34,140
asked what happened Linda started to

113
00:04:38,510 --> 00:04:36,180
explain the scenario it was a horrifying

114
00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:38,520
but familiar account dot when Linda was

115
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:39,390
very young

116
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:41,430
her father would read her and her sister

117
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:44,190
bedtime stories every night their father

118
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:46,770
would pick out a new short story the

119
00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:48,630
girls looked forward to it since he

120
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,150
would act out some of the characters one

121
00:04:54,740 --> 00:04:52,800
night he decided to read

122
00:04:56,659 --> 00:04:54,750
food though he had warned them that it

123
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:56,669
was just a fairy tale and that it

124
00:05:01,279 --> 00:04:58,770
conveyed a message about having goodwill

125
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:01,289
towards others he quickly read story

126
00:05:05,719 --> 00:05:04,110
then kissed each of them goodnight about

127
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:05,729
a minute later they heard terrible

128
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:08,370
thumping and crashing sounds they jumped

129
00:05:12,379 --> 00:05:10,500
out of bed and ran out onto the landing

130
00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:12,389
to discover that their father had fallen

131
00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:14,520
down the stairs and had broken his neck

132
00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:17,190
their mother was hysterical and totally

133
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:18,990
out of control to the point that she

134
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:20,610
never recovered from their father's

135
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:23,400
death she eventually becoming a recluse

136
00:05:28,339 --> 00:05:26,550
I was stunned by Linda's story since

137
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:28,349
then I have wondered if this particular

138
00:05:32,809 --> 00:05:31,199
tale had caused other tragedies I have

139
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,819
researched for years but have never

140
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:34,560
found anything similar to our

141
00:05:39,589 --> 00:05:37,110
experiences could these incidents be

142
00:05:41,899 --> 00:05:39,599
related somehow I still live in the

143
00:05:43,969 --> 00:05:41,909
family home with my husband and where we

144
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:43,979
raised our three children I would

145
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:46,110
occasionally be visited by the spirits

146
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:48,090
of my grandparents and they were always

147
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:51,210
together in fact they still pay me a

148
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:53,190
visit around the Thanksgiving holiday

149
00:05:58,219 --> 00:05:55,250
which they both truly enjoyed in life

150
00:06:00,409 --> 00:05:58,229
Linda and I are still very close friends

151
00:06:07,850 --> 00:06:00,419
but she misses her father deeply and

152
00:06:15,989 --> 00:06:13,529
case a00 5-2 phantom children my son was

153
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:15,999
in the basement playing on his box he

154
00:06:20,189 --> 00:06:17,830
heard a noise in a closed corner and

155
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:20,199
looked over and saw a women he thought

156
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:22,090
it may have been his mom and called over

157
00:06:26,999 --> 00:06:24,580
to see if she needed help he received no

158
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,009
response he then got up and walked in

159
00:06:30,899 --> 00:06:29,199
the direction that women headed to he

160
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:30,909
saw a women that seemed to be pretty

161
00:06:35,730 --> 00:06:33,310
solid in appearance he followed her only

162
00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:35,740
to see her vanish it has now been some

163
00:06:39,540 --> 00:06:37,150
time and we have had a few new

164
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:39,550
occurrences my son and I were in out

165
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:41,919
laundry room feeding the dogs the dogs

166
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:44,800
were outside at the time my son said dad

167
00:06:50,189 --> 00:06:47,650
look we observed a heavy leather coat

168
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:50,199
move on a deer antler hook there was no

169
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:52,090
wind or either of us were close enough

170
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:53,919
to make enough air motion to make that

171
00:06:58,559 --> 00:06:56,289
coat move a few evenings ago we were

172
00:07:00,059 --> 00:06:58,569
watching television my wife and

173
00:07:02,670 --> 00:07:00,069
granddaughter had gone to bed a few

174
00:07:04,679 --> 00:07:02,680
hours earlier my son turned around and

175
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,689
said there was a little girl almost the

176
00:07:07,709 --> 00:07:06,400
size of my granddaughter sitting in a

177
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,719
chair right behind us

178
00:07:12,059 --> 00:07:09,759
my son thinking it was his daughter

179
00:07:14,579 --> 00:07:12,069
asked what she was doing up the girl

180
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:14,589
said nothing and vanished he said it was

181
00:07:18,749 --> 00:07:16,479
his daughter's size but had different

182
00:07:21,089 --> 00:07:18,759
appearance I built this house about

183
00:07:23,429 --> 00:07:21,099
three years ago there hadn't been a home

184
00:07:25,499 --> 00:07:23,439
on this site before we live in the woods

185
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:25,509
with only two other newer homes built

186
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:28,089
around or just before ours was and we

187
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:30,460
were the builders some years ago there

188
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:32,379
was an accident on a train track that

189
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:34,930
borders our property on a corner it's an

190
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:37,180
old logging train that passes every once

191
00:07:42,029 --> 00:07:39,550
in a while a couple was killed on the

192
00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:42,039
tracks when hit by a train there was no

193
00:07:54,969 --> 00:07:52,659
they say zero-zero 5-3 phone calls from

194
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:54,979
beyond my wife had something weird

195
00:07:59,409 --> 00:07:57,289
happened to her this week last year her

196
00:08:00,999 --> 00:07:59,419
mother passed away she had a long

197
00:08:02,770 --> 00:08:01,009
illness and had fallen and the

198
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:02,780
combination of the two proved too much

199
00:08:07,689 --> 00:08:05,150
so she passed away a few days after her

200
00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:07,699
fall my wife went back up a couple of

201
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:09,350
weeks after the funeral to help her

202
00:08:13,390 --> 00:08:11,330
father with her mother's affairs and on

203
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:13,400
a Sunday night while my wife was staying

204
00:08:17,590 --> 00:08:15,830
there he passed away in his sleep the

205
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:17,600
family had not yet gotten over my

206
00:08:21,999 --> 00:08:19,550
mother-in-law passing when stricken with

207
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:22,009
grief again this all happened last fall

208
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:24,770
right before Thanksgiving this past week

209
00:08:29,499 --> 00:08:26,960
my wife was at work in a meeting and got

210
00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:29,509
not one but two phone calls from her

211
00:08:34,060 --> 00:08:31,729
father's cell phone number she showed me

212
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:34,070
the call log on her iPhone two calls

213
00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:36,529
from dad when he had passed away the

214
00:08:40,810 --> 00:08:38,479
phone company was notified and they

215
00:08:42,579 --> 00:08:40,820
canceled the number when my wife got out

216
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:42,589
of the meeting she called her father's

217
00:08:47,170 --> 00:08:44,930
old number it was now a company number

218
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:47,180
on a blackberry woman had recently been

219
00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:49,670
given to use as her work phone she was

220
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:51,950
stunned when she heard the story hi you

221
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,760
don't know me

222
00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:54,800
but this used to be my deceased father's

223
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:56,779
phone number and I got two calls from

224
00:09:01,420 --> 00:08:58,880
this number today and it of course

225
00:09:03,550 --> 00:09:01,430
wasn't the lady calling my wife she

226
00:09:05,890 --> 00:09:03,560
doesn't know her number and about the

227
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:05,900
same time of these two calls a relative

228
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:08,450
calls almost immediately after just to

229
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:09,050
say hello

230
00:09:13,810 --> 00:09:11,330
that was weird two of her to call right

231
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:13,820
after the two phantom calls my wife's

232
00:09:17,650 --> 00:09:16,010
father was always having fun and had an

233
00:09:20,170 --> 00:09:17,660
engineering degree and was an air force

234
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:20,180
officer one relative said they could

235
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:22,490
just see it now up in heaven my wife's

236
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,350
father telling her mother he figured out

237
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:26,480
a way to call their daughter by the way

238
00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:28,730
we'd often get calls from him because he

239
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:30,230
would sit on his phone and hit the

240
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:32,870
button and not realize he called us May
