ghosts it was the summer of 1960 it was

9
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:36,930
already hot and humid that July morning

10
00:00:41,180 --> 00:00:39,300
mother was making our breakfast when she

11
00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:41,190
suddenly paused and tilted her head as

12
00:00:45,259 --> 00:00:42,899
if she was listening to someone

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:45,269
whispering in her right ear my chair was

14
00:00:49,369 --> 00:00:47,250
facing her Ralph sat with his back to

15
00:00:51,829 --> 00:00:49,379
her so I was the only one that saw her

16
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:51,839
do this she suddenly came out of it and

17
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:53,940
said butch Ralph this will be your first

18
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:56,129

19
00:00:59,749 --> 00:00:57,600

00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:07,170
there's a lot of sick people out there

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:09,090
who like to grab up and hurt little boys

26
00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:12,090
like you you hear me okay we coursed I

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:13,979
thought it was strange that she was

28
00:01:17,420 --> 00:01:15,570
repeating the don't go with nobody

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:17,430
lecture again she'd done that two years

30
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:20,250
ago we both knew these rules by now that

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:22,350
afternoon as ralph and i were on our way

32
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:24,570
home from day camp at Benjamin Franklin

33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:27,630
junior high school 55 as we reached near

34
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:29,210
the bottom of the steep hill that was

35
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,400
170th Street and st. Paul's place a man

36
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:34,320
suddenly staggered out from between the

37
00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:36,390
parked cars down and to the right of us

38
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:39,060
he was a young Latino deep brown skinned

39
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:41,190
black greasy curly hair worn in the

40
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:43,350
style of the 50s slick on the sides

41
00:01:48,110 --> 00:01:45,750
curly on top coming to kind of the coma

42
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:48,120
in front he was taller than us of course

43
00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:50,220
maybe five three of a slender build and

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:52,830
in his late teens early 20s but old to

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:55,530
us he was limping badly and I thought he

46
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,850
may have been hit by a car

47
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,799
and had been lying stunned in between

48
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:01,200
the parked cars as we were watching him

49
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,119
stumble and hold on to the cars making

50
00:02:06,859 --> 00:02:05,040
his way up the hill toward us Ralph

51
00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:06,869
leaned over to me and whispered should

52
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:09,989
we help him no I scolded him remember

53
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:12,030
mother said not to go with anyone cause

54
00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:14,489
they could take us and hurt us we slowed

55
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,500
down and moved toward the fence putting

56
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:18,480
as much distance between the struggling

57
00:02:22,789 --> 00:02:20,340
man and us as the sidewalk would allow

58
00:02:25,009 --> 00:02:22,799
the man never once looked at us but just

59
00:02:27,050 --> 00:02:25,019
seemed to be concentrating on getting up

60
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,060
to st. Paul's place in Washington Avenue

61
00:02:31,309 --> 00:02:29,280
at the top of the hill he would walk a

62
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:31,319
little and pause and hold on to the cars

63
00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:33,209
and gather his strength then tried to

64
00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:34,220
walk a little more

65
00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:36,260
and end up stopping again to hold on to

66
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:38,780
the parked cars for balance again I put

67
00:02:42,910 --> 00:02:40,880
myself between Ralph and the man so I

68
00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:42,920
had a clear view of him all the while we

69
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:44,900
approached each other he never said

70
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:46,910
anything but grimace every time he took

71
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:49,490
a step on his left leg we passed him to

72
00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:51,410
his righty to our left we took one step

73
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:53,480
but then I said Ralph he really looks

74
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:55,730
hurt we should help him we turned around

75
00:03:00,670 --> 00:02:58,490
and the man was gone I thought maybe he

76
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:00,680
had fallen between the cars again we

77
00:03:04,420 --> 00:03:02,450
turned and started back up the hill

78
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:04,430
putting a distance between the cars and

79
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:06,440
us just in case he wasn't hurt but

80
00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:08,750
hiding Ralph walked in the street and I

81
00:03:11,949 --> 00:03:10,100
walked on the sidewalk

82
00:03:14,260 --> 00:03:11,959
we each looking into the parked cars to

83
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:14,270
see if he was in one he was nowhere to

84
00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:16,070
be seen even an athlete could not have

85
00:03:20,290 --> 00:03:17,900
made it up that steep hill in the second

86
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:20,300
it took for us to turn around Ralph and

87
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:21,890
I just looked at each other and said

88
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:24,470
maybe he was a ghost because we were

89
00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:26,209
thinking about helping this man and

90
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,860
going against the warnings of our mother

91
00:03:31,810 --> 00:03:29,840
we could not tell any of our family

92
00:03:33,850 --> 00:03:31,820
about it but we told our friends that we

93
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:33,860
saw a ghost but because they booed and

94
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:35,810
called us crazy we stopped talking about

95
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:39,170
it in 1982 as ralph and i sat talking

96
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:40,940
about the weird things we had seen in

97
00:03:45,340 --> 00:03:43,010
our lives he suddenly asked me do you

98
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:45,350
remember that old man old man

99
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,810
I asked thinking about Aaron he didn't

100
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:49,280
know about Aaron only mother knew about

101
00:03:54,130 --> 00:03:51,830
him yeah he said the old man in the gray

102
00:03:56,140 --> 00:03:54,140
suit me and you were walking down from

103
00:03:57,729 --> 00:03:56,150
junior high school and he came out of

104
00:04:00,009 --> 00:03:57,739
the street carrying those heavy shopping

105
00:04:02,170 --> 00:04:00,019
bags and I asked you if we should help

106
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:02,180
him and you said no because mother said

107
00:04:05,949 --> 00:04:04,310
not to go with people then when he

108
00:04:08,110 --> 00:04:05,959
passed us you said we should help him

109
00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:08,120
and when we turned around he was gone an

110
00:04:13,810 --> 00:04:11,420
old man is that what you saw I asked

111
00:04:16,330 --> 00:04:13,820
yeah why did you think I asked you if we

112
00:04:18,070 --> 00:04:16,340
should help him he answered I still

113
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:18,080
wonder to this day what it was we had

114
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:20,390
seen and why was it trying to get us to

115
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:22,130
go with it and what would have become of

116
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:24,890
us had we done so but mostly I wonder

117
00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:26,690
what it was that told mother to warn us

118
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:29,060
again that seconds hesitation had saved

119
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:30,430
us

120
00:04:34,830 --> 00:04:30,850
you

121
00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:39,790
case number a zero one 3-2 the evil

122
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:42,670
ghost it was a cold winter's night in

123
00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:46,190
1994 about 3 a.m. and I had just left

124
00:04:49,090 --> 00:04:48,200
the home of my friend Carolyn in the

125
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,100
East Village

126
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:51,440
I had just rounded the corner of 1st

127
00:04:57,220 --> 00:04:54,110
Street and Avenue a and was starting up

128
00:04:59,260 --> 00:04:57,230
to catch the F train a brisk wind had

129
00:05:01,690 --> 00:04:59,270
swept the streets clean of garbage and

130
00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:01,700
clubbers alike and was hurrying me along

131
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:04,520
too I had just passed the East Indian

132
00:05:08,770 --> 00:05:06,710
deli and was walking past the parking

133
00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:08,780
lots of the high-rise when I saw the

134
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:11,270
young man approaching me he was

135
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:13,250
staggering and really not dressed for

136
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:15,170
the weather now though earlier his

137
00:05:19,810 --> 00:05:17,990
attire would have been enough I remember

138
00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:19,820
thinking to myself you'll not make it

139
00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:21,470
through this night if you continue going

140
00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:23,900
in the direction you are staggering like

141
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:26,600
that why not just put a sign on your

142
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:30,230
neck saying mug me easy prey to my

143
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:32,570
surprise the youth stagger toward me and

144
00:05:37,450 --> 00:05:35,240
stopped you won't believe this he said

145
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:37,460
but I have walked all the way down from

146
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:40,160
Broadway trying to bum subway fare he

147
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:42,710
slurred no one will give me even a

148
00:05:47,530 --> 00:05:45,290
quarter I looked at a man was startled

149
00:05:49,870 --> 00:05:47,540
how much he looked like the ex-boyfriend

150
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:49,880
of a mutual friend of Carolyn's and mine

151
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:52,430
it was just that he was at least 10

152
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:54,710
years younger but damn near a twin of

153
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:55,130
him

154
00:05:59,800 --> 00:05:57,770
he apologized several times to me for

155
00:06:01,930 --> 00:05:59,810
being in the condition he was and said

156
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:01,940
he should have known better but he spent

157
00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:04,010
every dime he had on a girl and a good

158
00:06:09,130 --> 00:06:06,380
time and that they both ran out at the

159
00:06:11,260 --> 00:06:09,140
same time I laughed and gave him a

160
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:11,270
quarter and started to walk for it was

161
00:06:15,190 --> 00:06:13,970
cold and he said great all I need now is

162
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:15,200
another dollar

163
00:06:19,150 --> 00:06:17,030
I had thought all you needed was a

164
00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:19,160
quarter by what he had said earlier and

165
00:06:23,710 --> 00:06:21,590
called him back and said look you need

166
00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:23,720
to get your ass off these cold streets

167
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:26,030
give me back the quarter and I'll give

168
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:28,880
you a token wobbling he put out his hand

169
00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:30,590
and I took the quarter from a gnat

170
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:33,200
pushed the token into his palm Frye was

171
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:35,510
afraid he would rob it and that was all

172
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:38,510
I had was two tokens and a quarter now

173
00:06:43,930 --> 00:06:41,360
you need to get on the subway I said and

174
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:43,940
started to walk toward the station okay

175
00:06:46,570 --> 00:06:46,190
he said but walked in the opposite

176
00:06:48,999 --> 00:06:46,580
direction

177
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:49,009
action I turned to call him he was gone

178
00:06:53,409 --> 00:06:51,889
I walked up the block and called Carolyn

179
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:53,419
to tell her what happened

180
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:55,490
and about the young twin of Rob I had

181
00:07:00,219 --> 00:06:58,250
encountered after a long pause she told

182
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:00,229
me how when rob was a young kid he had

183
00:07:04,589 --> 00:07:02,599
been stabbed and died on a subway but

184
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:04,599
was brought back to life in the hospital

case number is 0-1 3-3 home sweet

186
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:18,560
haunted home we have experienced several

187
00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:20,330
different strange things in our house

188
00:07:26,650 --> 00:07:23,270
the house isn't scary it was built in

189
00:07:28,750 --> 00:07:26,660
1963 by my wife's grandparents in the

190
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:28,760
first event my wife took a picture of my

191
00:07:32,590 --> 00:07:30,800
stepdaughter in the living room and two

192
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:32,600
light anomalies appeared in the picture

193
00:07:36,910 --> 00:07:35,120
one had a palm of a hand in it the other

194
00:07:38,470 --> 00:07:36,920
had the face of my wife's grandmother

195
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:38,480
and great-grandmother in it

196
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:40,370
there were also reflections in the back

197
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:42,230
door window of her grandfather in one

198
00:07:47,140 --> 00:07:44,930
pane and two Yorkie dogs in another her

199
00:07:49,390 --> 00:07:47,150
grandparents had your keys getting that

200
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:49,400
picture enlarged to investigate further

201
00:07:53,590 --> 00:07:51,200
my wife was standing in a line in a

202
00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:53,600
copier place and guy working there asked

203
00:07:57,790 --> 00:07:56,000
why she needed that picture enlarged she

204
00:07:59,680 --> 00:07:57,800
explained what the picture contained and

205
00:08:01,420 --> 00:07:59,690
the guy behind her in line took two

206
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,430
steps backwards and turned and left

207
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:03,440
after she gave him a look at the picture

208
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:05,540
two or three time we had the roll of

209
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:07,670
toilet paper come completely unrolled in

210
00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:09,770
the front hall bathroom I watched it

211
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,140
happen one time at times we hear loud

212
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:14,720
bangs as if something had phone but I go

213
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:16,550
to find out what had fallen and there's

214
00:08:20,650 --> 00:08:18,800
nothing there to make the noise one time

215
00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:20,660
we were watching TV on the living room

216
00:08:25,210 --> 00:08:22,790
sectional and one of the pillows started

217
00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:25,220
moving as if the cat was behind it we

218
00:08:28,570 --> 00:08:26,660
watched it move a couple more times

219
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:28,580
thinking the cat would come out from

220
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:30,740
behind it I got up and moved the pillow

221
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:32,570
and there was no reason for the pillow

222
00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:35,120
to move one evening I was sitting in my

223
00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:37,400
recliner my wife was on the section

224
00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:39,620
closest to me and my stepdaughter was

225
00:08:43,330 --> 00:08:41,270
laying on the other end of the sectional

226
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,340
my granddaughter was sitting on the

227
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:45,440
coffee table when between my wife and

228
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:47,470
daughter a voice whispered loudly boys

229
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,640
everyone heard it but there was no

230
00:08:53,650 --> 00:08:51,680
possible explanation for the voice I

231
00:08:55,060 --> 00:08:53,660
would say that every day I will see

232
00:08:57,340 --> 00:08:55,070
something out of the corner of my eye

233
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,350
and I turned to look but no one a thing

234
00:09:01,240 --> 00:08:59,360
is there we aren't afraid of this house

235
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:01,250
because the only people that have lived

236
00:09:05,530 --> 00:09:03,650
there was my wife's family I understand

237
00:09:07,930 --> 00:09:05,540
that objects can have spirits attached

238
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:07,940
to them we do have several antiques that

239
00:09:11,740 --> 00:09:10,010
we have acquired over the years maybe

240
00:09:13,690 --> 00:09:11,750
something I've brought there had someone

241
00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:13,700
following along with it we never know

242
00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:15,120
what will happen next

243
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:22,690
