00:00:00,040 –> 00:00:02,360
This is why you should stay out
of the Appalachians.
2
00:00:02,360 –> 00:00:05,080
Welcome to paranormal night.
Shift your home for all things
3
00:00:05,080 –> 00:00:08,000
that go bump in the dark and
your fan stories told here.
4
00:00:08,640 –> 00:00:12,400
With spooky season being upon
us, I’m going to tell a fan
5
00:00:12,400 –> 00:00:15,080
story.
Now granted that this is not a
6
00:00:15,080 –> 00:00:19,480
fan experience story.
However, a good oldfashioned
7
00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:23,840
ghost story sent to me from a
fan and it’s called the Black
8
00:00:23,840 –> 00:00:26,640
Cat.
Now, most stories that involve
9
00:00:26,640 –> 00:00:30,970
witches usually involve them
making packs and deals with the
10
00:00:30,970 –> 00:00:35,650
devil, going around collecting
children and the innocent so
11
00:00:35,650 –> 00:00:38,130
that they can keep their eternal
youth.
12
00:00:38,930 –> 00:00:42,290
And that’s exactly what was
happening in our town over the
13
00:00:42,290 –> 00:00:45,530
course of two or three months.
Multiple children had fallen ill
14
00:00:45,530 –> 00:00:47,410
and nobody had an explanation
for it.
15
00:00:48,570 –> 00:00:52,490
And although my wife and I had
tried, my wife was barren, no
16
00:00:52,490 –> 00:00:56,250
children to be had.
It put us in charge of doing a
17
00:00:56,250 –> 00:00:59,410
lot of things for the town,
trying to keep things moving.
18
00:00:59,770 –> 00:01:04,410
My wife was always in love with
children and would volunteer to
19
00:01:04,410 –> 00:01:07,050
do so many things to help the
children out.
20
00:01:07,570 –> 00:01:11,090
From running the library in the
school to trying to help out at
21
00:01:11,090 –> 00:01:13,970
the hospital.
Tried to keep everything happy
22
00:01:13,970 –> 00:01:17,290
and light while so many things
were happening, children
23
00:01:17,290 –> 00:01:21,490
becoming suspiciously ill or
finding themselves in an early
24
00:01:21,490 –> 00:01:24,330
grave.
It was a sad time in our town.
25
00:01:24,860 –> 00:01:28,860
My wife and I and other families
got together and tried to do
26
00:01:28,860 –> 00:01:31,980
everything that we could.
For the families that have lost
27
00:01:31,980 –> 00:01:35,700
their children.
It was a simpler time and things
28
00:01:35,700 –> 00:01:39,140
were not easily explained.
Most of the town folk had
29
00:01:39,140 –> 00:01:43,020
already thought the idea of
witchcraft was to blame.
30
00:01:43,540 –> 00:01:48,100
Something is out here taking the
life of our children’s A lot of
31
00:01:48,100 –> 00:01:50,860
these things were happening with
the children around town.
32
00:01:50,860 –> 00:01:55,130
The men in town started noticing
A influx and beauty upon their
33
00:01:55,130 –> 00:01:58,570
wives.
Petty Cole, a woman that nobody
34
00:01:58,570 –> 00:02:00,890
would ever would say was
beautiful, all of a sudden had a
35
00:02:00,890 –> 00:02:03,970
very jovial radiant glow about
her.
36
00:02:04,850 –> 00:02:06,970
In fact.
Why, I hate to admit it, My wife
37
00:02:06,970 –> 00:02:11,050
herself even looked more jovial,
Young and radiant.
38
00:02:11,370 –> 00:02:13,330
She had a certain glow about
her.
39
00:02:13,970 –> 00:02:17,330
In these simpler times, we
believed more in spiritualism,
40
00:02:17,730 –> 00:02:21,410
superstitions, as it were.
Black Cats crossing your path.
41
00:02:22,080 –> 00:02:26,640
One of the things that they had
noticed was an influx in cats
42
00:02:26,640 –> 00:02:29,760
within the neighborhood.
These cats were not nice.
43
00:02:29,760 –> 00:02:34,120
They were very feral and wild.
In fact, I had several of them
44
00:02:34,120 –> 00:02:37,400
on my property.
I was cutting firewood, getting
45
00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:40,880
ready for the night, and I had a
black cat come around me.
46
00:02:41,240 –> 00:02:43,080
It was like it was trying to get
into the house.
47
00:02:43,720 –> 00:02:46,280
I threw my hatchet at it, just
trying to scare it off, but I
48
00:02:46,280 –> 00:02:48,480
hit it.
I had hit it hard.
49
00:02:49,160 –> 00:02:51,960
In fact, I had taken its back
paw completely off.
50
00:02:52,840 –> 00:02:56,920
As I made my way back to the
house, I saw other women from
51
00:02:56,920 –> 00:03:01,240
the town flooding to our house.
Something was wrong and they’re
52
00:03:01,240 –> 00:03:05,920
laying on my bed, my wife
missing a foot as it had been
53
00:03:06,320 –> 00:03:09,400
completely cut off like from a
hatchet.
54
00:03:10,280 –> 00:03:13,040
Now these are old mountain
stories and I know that this one
55
00:03:13,040 –> 00:03:16,640
has had different tellings and
has been told different times,
56
00:03:17,040 –> 00:03:22,200
but I absolutely love just
classic Appalachian scary ghost
57
00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:25,040
stories.
And if you have any classic
58
00:03:25,040 –> 00:03:28,880
ghost stories like this, since
we are in spooky season, please
59
00:03:28,880 –> 00:03:32,080
send them to us.
I think they are the basis for
60
00:03:32,080 –> 00:03:36,640
so many ghost stories.
Just that history part of it
61
00:03:36,640 –> 00:03:39,760
that I absolutely love.
I hope you enjoyed this one.
62
00:03:39,760 –> 00:03:43,280
It was one that I have been told
several times as a kid and I
63
00:03:43,280 –> 00:03:45,520
just got tickled when it was
sent to me.
64
00:03:45,920 –> 00:03:48,580
So I hope you enjoy paranormal
night shift.
65
00:03:48,580 –> 00:03:52,900
Please keep sending in your fan
stories and thank you and have a
66
00:03:52,900 –> 00:03:53,580
wonderful day.
