Join us on Paranormal Nightshift as we dive into the mysterious world of dreams and the unexplained. In this episode, we explore the intriguing question of why we dream and the uncanny occurrence of shared dreams. Our host delves into a chilling story sent in by a listener named Patrick. As he recounts his summer in a house full of secrets, he and his sister encounter unexplainable events that challenge their understanding of reality.
Set against the backdrop of a house left to them by their enigmatic aunt, Patrick and his sister embark on a summer of freedom and adventure. However, strange occurrences soon disrupt their idyllic plans. Bizarre noises from the upper floors of the house escalate into inexplicable banging and pounding that even the police can’t explain. The siblings’ curiosity overrides their respect for their aunt’s instructions, leading them to uncover the terrifying truth behind the forbidden upstairs.
As they venture into the off-limits domain, they encounter eerie phenomena that defy all logic. The bedroom closet holds an ominous light that burns hot and a door handle that pushes back with an otherworldly force. Memories become fragmented, and a sense of unease grips their group of friends.
In the depths of the night, Patrick is plagued by a nightmare that transcends the boundaries of the dream world. Confronted by a divine presence warning him of danger, he wakes to find his sister equally disturbed by a matching dream. Their inexplicable shared experience, along with their unspoken bond as twins, propels them to abandon the house and seek refuge elsewhere.
But the mystery deepens as their mother’s uncanny knowledge of their ordeal leaves them bewildered. The revelation that their mother might not be able to help them anymore casts a shadow of uncertainty over their future. As they grapple with the haunting events that have unfolded, they’re left to wonder: What lies ahead in the enigmatic intersection of dreams and reality?
Tune in to this episode of Paranormal Nightshift as we unravel the threads of shared dreams, familial connections, and the unknown forces that linger just beyond the veil of perception.
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:03,400
How do you think we dream?
If it’s just our imagination,
2
00:00:03,400 –> 00:00:06,360
then how can two people have the
exact same dream?
3
00:00:06,720 –> 00:00:09,240
Welcome to paranormal night.
Shift your home for all the
4
00:00:09,240 –> 00:00:12,760
things that go bump in the night
and your fan story is told here,
5
00:00:12,920 –> 00:00:15,040
Patrick writes in the story I’m
about to tell you.
6
00:00:15,040 –> 00:00:17,880
I know sounds like it came
straight out of the 80s slasher
7
00:00:17,880 –> 00:00:20,280
movie, but I promise you it’s
the truth.
8
00:00:20,560 –> 00:00:22,880
Sister and I are twins.
We were only born a couple
9
00:00:22,880 –> 00:00:25,290
seconds apart.
It was the summer after high
10
00:00:25,290 –> 00:00:27,450
school and like most kids, we
didn’t really have any
11
00:00:27,450 –> 00:00:30,650
direction.
My aunt was really hippy dippy
12
00:00:30,930 –> 00:00:34,010
really into some odd stuff and
she was going to spend the
13
00:00:34,010 –> 00:00:37,570
summer abroad and wanted me and
my sister to house sit For her,
14
00:00:37,970 –> 00:00:40,530
it was going to be the last
summer of freedom, you know,
15
00:00:40,850 –> 00:00:43,490
like right before we had to dive
into the real world.
16
00:00:43,730 –> 00:00:46,530
She even left some adult
beverages in the fridge for us.
17
00:00:47,010 –> 00:00:50,930
But she left a a weird list of
stuff for us to do and stuff for
18
00:00:50,930 –> 00:00:54,310
us not to do.
The biggest thing was whatever
19
00:00:54,310 –> 00:00:58,270
you do, don’t go upstairs.
Sister and I both were kind of a
20
00:00:58,270 –> 00:01:00,910
stickler for the rules, and we
figured probably just because
21
00:01:00,910 –> 00:01:02,430
like that’s where her bedroom
was.
22
00:01:02,430 –> 00:01:04,110
She didn’t want us messing with
her stuff.
23
00:01:04,390 –> 00:01:07,190
But we would soon find out how
wrong we really were.
24
00:01:07,670 –> 00:01:09,790
It was the first week of being
in that house.
25
00:01:09,790 –> 00:01:12,550
We decided to throw a party.
We have been there a couple of
26
00:01:12,550 –> 00:01:14,910
times during the day, but
neither of us had actually spent
27
00:01:14,910 –> 00:01:17,830
the night there.
But by 10:00 that evening, we
28
00:01:17,830 –> 00:01:20,920
started to hear things.
It started quietly to begin
29
00:01:20,920 –> 00:01:22,640
with.
Like we could have dismissed it,
30
00:01:22,640 –> 00:01:24,400
like maybe it was a squirrel on
the roof.
31
00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:27,520
But they progressively got
louder and louder.
32
00:01:27,800 –> 00:01:31,720
It sounded like somebody was
pacing upstairs louder and
33
00:01:31,720 –> 00:01:34,280
louder.
What started as footsteps turned
34
00:01:34,280 –> 00:01:37,480
into banging, it sounded like
somebody was pounding on the
35
00:01:37,480 –> 00:01:39,160
walls.
We were just kids.
36
00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:40,600
And I’m not going to lie, we got
scared.
37
00:01:40,760 –> 00:01:43,320
We called the cops.
We hid the adult beverages,
38
00:01:43,520 –> 00:01:46,480
called the cops, and they went
and searched upstairs and found
39
00:01:46,680 –> 00:01:48,480
nothing.
They even called my aunt.
40
00:01:49,080 –> 00:01:51,760
I told her what was going on and
her voice kind of crackled.
41
00:01:51,760 –> 00:01:56,560
And she said, no matter what you
hear or what you think you hear,
42
00:01:57,120 –> 00:02:01,480
do not go upstairs.
The moment the police left, it
43
00:02:01,480 –> 00:02:06,120
started right back up, louder
and louder pictures were shaking
44
00:02:06,120 –> 00:02:08,960
on the wall.
After a little bit more liquid
45
00:02:08,960 –> 00:02:12,960
encouragement, the idea of being
a stickler for the rules went
46
00:02:12,960 –> 00:02:15,480
out the window.
We wanted to know what was up
47
00:02:15,480 –> 00:02:19,370
there and why was she so adamant
that we couldn’t go up there?
48
00:02:19,530 –> 00:02:22,290
Why would she even invite us
into this house in the 1st place
49
00:02:22,530 –> 00:02:25,650
if she knew that there was
something or someone upstairs?
50
00:02:25,730 –> 00:02:27,690
I went up there and and there
was nothing.
51
00:02:28,250 –> 00:02:30,890
Nothing had been up there.
The cops were just up there a
52
00:02:30,890 –> 00:02:33,850
couple of minutes ago.
There was nothing up there, no
53
00:02:33,850 –> 00:02:36,330
lights or anything except for
one.
54
00:02:36,890 –> 00:02:41,010
One light hanging in a bedroom
closet was on cops.
55
00:02:41,090 –> 00:02:42,730
The cops just did a sweep of the
house.
56
00:02:42,730 –> 00:02:45,710
They they probably, just they
they probably just left it on
57
00:02:45,710 –> 00:02:47,950
right.
I went to open the closet door
58
00:02:47,950 –> 00:02:50,470
and the door handle was
physically hot.
59
00:02:50,830 –> 00:02:54,310
It burned my hand.
As I opened the door it pushed
60
00:02:54,310 –> 00:02:57,150
me back and the light bulb that
was hanging on the one string
61
00:02:57,150 –> 00:03:01,070
just popped just exploded.
I I must have blacked out for a
62
00:03:01,070 –> 00:03:03,670
minute because the next thing I
can remember I was back
63
00:03:03,670 –> 00:03:05,710
downstairs with my sister and my
friends.
64
00:03:06,270 –> 00:03:10,230
They said that I had gone up
there and burnt my hand and came
65
00:03:10,230 –> 00:03:13,740
down and just sat on the couch.
None of them remembered anything
66
00:03:13,740 –> 00:03:15,540
else after that.
None of them knew anything.
67
00:03:15,540 –> 00:03:19,580
After that I’d hurt myself and
came downstairs and to concern
68
00:03:19,580 –> 00:03:21,460
me, why couldn’t I remember what
happened?
69
00:03:22,340 –> 00:03:25,140
But the banging had stopped.
It had gotten quiet again.
70
00:03:25,140 –> 00:03:27,940
And now we were actually
enjoying the fact that we had
71
00:03:27,940 –> 00:03:30,780
this house.
Nothing seemed to be wrong
72
00:03:30,780 –> 00:03:33,060
anymore.
It was about 3:00 in the
73
00:03:33,060 –> 00:03:35,180
morning.
We all finally fell asleep after
74
00:03:35,180 –> 00:03:37,660
a fun night of having fun being
kids.
75
00:03:37,980 –> 00:03:40,700
This house wasn’t that bad.
It was exactly what we thought
76
00:03:40,700 –> 00:03:42,180
it was going to be, just a party
house.
77
00:03:42,180 –> 00:03:43,660
We were going to have so much
fun.
78
00:03:44,260 –> 00:03:47,660
But then I woke up, woke up
after having a a nightmare, I
79
00:03:47,660 –> 00:03:49,260
guess, if that’s what you want
to call it.
80
00:03:50,060 –> 00:03:52,340
I I was back in front of that
closet door.
81
00:03:52,980 –> 00:03:57,620
I’d open the door and and saw a
guess, the pearly white gates.
82
00:03:58,260 –> 00:04:03,500
And there was a man who I
presumed was God standing there
83
00:04:03,540 –> 00:04:07,340
looking at me in a voice that
echoed through my head.
84
00:04:07,340 –> 00:04:12,370
To this day, he said, you’re not
safe there and you need to get
85
00:04:12,370 –> 00:04:15,050
out.
It shook me to my core and I I
86
00:04:15,050 –> 00:04:17,490
just needed to get up.
I I went to the bathroom.
87
00:04:17,490 –> 00:04:20,890
But I was so surprised to find
that my sister was in there,
88
00:04:20,890 –> 00:04:23,330
just standing, looking at
herself in the mirror.
89
00:04:24,130 –> 00:04:26,570
She looked me in the eyes and
said, we need to get out of this
90
00:04:26,570 –> 00:04:28,610
house.
They say twins have a bond.
91
00:04:29,170 –> 00:04:31,810
I guess it’s because we were
together so long in the womb
92
00:04:31,810 –> 00:04:34,250
that we feed off each other’s
energy.
93
00:04:34,690 –> 00:04:37,550
But she wouldn’t talk to me.
This was the first time that she
94
00:04:37,550 –> 00:04:40,270
had never said a word to me
other than we need to go.
95
00:04:40,710 –> 00:04:43,190
We woke all our friends up and
got out of the house.
96
00:04:43,830 –> 00:04:45,550
I later asked her what had
happened.
97
00:04:45,830 –> 00:04:50,990
She told me the exact same dream
that I had had word for word and
98
00:04:50,990 –> 00:04:54,110
that we weren’t safe here and we
needed to leave.
99
00:04:54,350 –> 00:04:57,310
We went back to our parents
house and we hadn’t told them
100
00:04:57,310 –> 00:04:59,510
about anything else.
Definitely didn’t want to tell
101
00:04:59,510 –> 00:05:02,630
them about the cops, but somehow
my mom knew.
102
00:05:03,270 –> 00:05:07,070
My mom knew that something was
wrong and she looked at me and
103
00:05:07,070 –> 00:05:10,110
my sister and said, You went
upstairs, didn’t you?
104
00:05:10,110 –> 00:05:12,350
Why would she know that?
Why would she know that?
105
00:05:12,350 –> 00:05:15,030
Why would she even know that
that was a thing?
106
00:05:16,110 –> 00:05:18,630
Then she said something that
scares me to this day.
107
00:05:19,790 –> 00:05:21,550
I don’t know if I can help you
anymore.
108
00:05:21,950 –> 00:05:25,270
What did I experience and what
is waiting for me?
