Step into the eerie world of Paranormal Nightshift, a podcast that delves into the uncanny and unsettling. In this episode, we hear a spine-chilling account from Kimberly in North Carolina, who recounts her family’s unsettling experience with an imaginary friend that turned into something far more sinister.
As a young mother, Kimberly’s daughter played innocently with an imaginary friend named Tommy in their new North Carolina home. But Tommy’s playful nature took a malevolent turn when her daughter began to display mysterious bite marks and bruises. Kimberly, attributing these injuries to typical childhood accidents, brushed them off. However, as the severity escalated, it became evident that Tommy was no mere figment of her daughter’s imagination.
The escalation reached its climax when her daughter was physically attacked by an unseen force in her playroom. Kimberly, determined to protect her child, confronted Tommy, demanding he leave their lives. The house responded with violent resistance, an airborne teacup narrowly missing Kimberly. Faced with undeniable malevolent energy, Kimberly and her family hastily vacated the home, leaving behind the traumatic memories.
This tale raises unsettling questions about the blurred line between the imaginary and the paranormal. Kimberly’s experience leaves us pondering whether tales of supernatural activity should be disclosed to potential buyers, especially if children are involved. Tune in to Paranormal Nightshift for more spine-tingling stories that lurk in the shadows, where the line between reality and the supernatural blurs.

As a parent, we’ve all seen it.
We’ve seen our kids play with
2
00:00:03,640 –> 00:00:06,960
imaginary friends.
Maybe they’re playing GI Joe or
3
00:00:07,040 –> 00:00:09,480
Barbie and they just play
pretend.
4
00:00:09,920 –> 00:00:12,040
They make up little stories and
adventures.
5
00:00:12,080 –> 00:00:15,520
But what happens when those
stories become a reality and the
6
00:00:15,520 –> 00:00:18,880
imaginary friends are no longer
pretend?
7
00:00:19,360 –> 00:00:21,280
Welcome to Paranormal night
shift.
8
00:00:21,640 –> 00:00:25,240
You’re home for all things that
go bump in the night, and your
9
00:00:25,240 –> 00:00:28,720
fan story is told here.
Today’s fan story comes from
10
00:00:28,720 –> 00:00:32,770
Kimberly in North Carolina.
My husband’s work brought us
11
00:00:32,770 –> 00:00:36,450
down to rural North Carolina.
We were living in upstate New
12
00:00:36,450 –> 00:00:39,410
York and the price of living got
way too high, and when the
13
00:00:39,410 –> 00:00:42,010
company offered him a position,
we took it.
14
00:00:42,730 –> 00:00:44,890
It’s amazing how the economy
works.
15
00:00:45,170 –> 00:00:49,650
We sold our house very quickly,
and it’s amazing how much house
16
00:00:49,650 –> 00:00:53,610
we got in rural North Carolina.
We moved to a town called
17
00:00:53,610 –> 00:00:57,810
Batcave and ended up cleaning
this house that was 5 bedrooms.
18
00:00:57,810 –> 00:01:00,170
It was everything that you would
ever imagined.
19
00:01:00,570 –> 00:01:03,090
Granted, it was just me, my
husband and my daughter, but
20
00:01:03,090 –> 00:01:06,370
this house was huge.
It was just too good to be true.
21
00:01:06,730 –> 00:01:08,410
Everything that we had ever
imagined.
22
00:01:08,810 –> 00:01:11,410
Now he would be gone in
Asheville most of the time, but
23
00:01:11,730 –> 00:01:14,330
he’d come back and it was just a
beautiful house.
24
00:01:14,530 –> 00:01:18,370
Now it was very country and my
daughter didn’t have a lot of
25
00:01:18,370 –> 00:01:20,570
kids to play with like she did
up in New York.
26
00:01:20,930 –> 00:01:24,050
But she was so excited that the
whole upstairs of the house
27
00:01:24,410 –> 00:01:27,690
basically turned into her
playroom and she loved it.
28
00:01:28,130 –> 00:01:31,130
I’d hear her up there playing
Barbie and tea parties all day
29
00:01:31,130 –> 00:01:33,610
long.
She just loved being up there.
30
00:01:34,090 –> 00:01:37,970
But one day everything changed.
It was downstairs in the living
31
00:01:37,970 –> 00:01:40,090
room when I heard her scream
from upstairs.
32
00:01:40,450 –> 00:01:44,650
Ow, we don’t do that.
She ran downstairs crying and
33
00:01:44,650 –> 00:01:48,850
had a bite mark on her wrist.
I I kind of chalked it up that
34
00:01:48,850 –> 00:01:52,610
maybe she could have done it
herself, because it definitely
35
00:01:52,610 –> 00:01:55,820
looked like she did.
It wasn’t anything major,
36
00:01:55,820 –> 00:01:58,180
nothing that a little bit of ice
cream couldn’t fix.
37
00:01:58,580 –> 00:02:00,460
But she told me that Tommy had
bit her.
38
00:02:00,820 –> 00:02:06,020
Tommy did not like playing Tea
Party, so I told her, as my mom
39
00:02:06,260 –> 00:02:09,380
voice told me to tell her, well,
maybe you just don’t play Tea
40
00:02:09,380 –> 00:02:11,940
Party anymore.
Do something that Tommy wants to
41
00:02:11,940 –> 00:02:13,460
do.
And that was that.
42
00:02:13,460 –> 00:02:16,220
She went back upstairs and acted
like nothing happened.
43
00:02:16,500 –> 00:02:20,100
She continued to play all the
time, but she continued to talk
44
00:02:20,100 –> 00:02:24,940
about Tommy all the time.
Tommy’s back story was very
45
00:02:25,180 –> 00:02:28,100
tragic.
Tommy used to live here, but he
46
00:02:28,100 –> 00:02:30,380
doesn’t live here anymore.
Something happened.
47
00:02:30,660 –> 00:02:33,220
He can’t stay here, but he can
come and hang out for a little
48
00:02:33,220 –> 00:02:35,820
bit, right, Mom?
Tommy doesn’t like it when I
49
00:02:35,820 –> 00:02:38,340
play with dolls, Mom.
It makes him angry.
50
00:02:38,620 –> 00:02:41,340
He wants to play other games,
but I like dolls.
51
00:02:41,580 –> 00:02:44,100
Do you think I could sleep
upstairs in my playroom?
52
00:02:44,420 –> 00:02:46,420
Tommy doesn’t like being left
alone.
53
00:02:46,900 –> 00:02:49,940
I regret it so much and I wish I
would have gotten more involved
54
00:02:49,940 –> 00:02:54,110
so quicker, but I just figured
she was lonely, she had no one
55
00:02:54,110 –> 00:02:57,430
to play with and she had this
giant House of course that she
56
00:02:57,430 –> 00:02:59,430
was going to make up a imaginary
friend.
57
00:02:59,430 –> 00:03:02,750
Of course she was going to play
tea parties and pretend that’s
58
00:03:02,750 –> 00:03:05,590
what little kids did right?
But that’s when the bruises
59
00:03:05,590 –> 00:03:09,230
started to appear more often.
I was giving her her bath one
60
00:03:09,230 –> 00:03:13,430
day and I saw 456 bruises on her
arms.
61
00:03:13,990 –> 00:03:15,910
She said that Tommy had been
biting her.
62
00:03:16,750 –> 00:03:19,230
I took her to the doctor the
next day and the doctor said
63
00:03:19,230 –> 00:03:22,790
that it was probably, and it
looked like self-inflicted bites
64
00:03:23,300 –> 00:03:25,140
because they look like they came
from her mouth.
65
00:03:25,180 –> 00:03:27,060
Little children bites, as he
called them.
66
00:03:27,500 –> 00:03:29,660
It was probably her way of
acting out, you know?
67
00:03:29,660 –> 00:03:33,580
It had been really stressful, a
big move, a new house, and my
68
00:03:33,580 –> 00:03:35,020
husband was working all the
time.
69
00:03:35,220 –> 00:03:37,740
Our family dynamic had kind of
changed.
70
00:03:38,380 –> 00:03:41,020
I didn’t think it could get any
worse than that, but it did.
71
00:03:41,500 –> 00:03:43,940
She stopped wanting to go
upstairs into the playroom.
72
00:03:44,260 –> 00:03:46,220
She didn’t want to be around
Tommy anymore.
73
00:03:46,460 –> 00:03:49,660
She wanted Tommy to leave, but
he wouldn’t go anywhere.
74
00:03:50,620 –> 00:03:53,790
One day she went onto her
playroom to retrieve a doll that
75
00:03:53,790 –> 00:03:56,430
she couldn’t find, and that’s
when it happened.
76
00:03:56,750 –> 00:04:00,990
I heard her scream so loud.
I ran upstairs thinking that she
77
00:04:01,270 –> 00:04:03,630
had to have done something.
Something bad had to have
78
00:04:03,630 –> 00:04:05,990
happened.
She was laying face down on her
79
00:04:05,990 –> 00:04:09,790
bed and she was bleeding.
I pulled her shirt up and she
80
00:04:09,790 –> 00:04:12,510
had a bite mark.
Huge, giant bite mark.
81
00:04:12,830 –> 00:04:14,990
It was bleeding and it was on
the center of her back.
82
00:04:15,310 –> 00:04:18,029
There was no way that she could
have done this herself.
83
00:04:18,690 –> 00:04:21,170
I grabbed her up in my arms and
walked out of the room, and I
84
00:04:21,170 –> 00:04:23,810
said, Tommy, you can’t be here
anymore.
85
00:04:24,010 –> 00:04:26,570
You’re hurting her.
You’re not being nice.
86
00:04:26,570 –> 00:04:29,690
You need to leave.
I picked my daughter up, held
87
00:04:29,690 –> 00:04:32,650
her in my arms, and exited the
room to walk back downstairs.
88
00:04:32,970 –> 00:04:37,050
But as I hit the doorway, A
teacup came shattering over my
89
00:04:37,050 –> 00:04:38,930
head.
Something that picked it up and
90
00:04:38,930 –> 00:04:42,450
thrown it at me, violently
thrown it at me and I screamed
91
00:04:42,450 –> 00:04:44,650
again.
Tommy, this is not your house.
92
00:04:44,850 –> 00:04:48,340
You have to get out.
My daughter and I never went
93
00:04:48,340 –> 00:04:50,700
back into the house.
I called my husband and
94
00:04:50,700 –> 00:04:52,220
explained to him what was going
on.
95
00:04:52,700 –> 00:04:56,220
He left as quickly as he could,
got everything out of the house,
96
00:04:56,540 –> 00:04:59,940
and we never went back.
She never talked about Tommy
97
00:04:59,940 –> 00:05:02,380
anymore.
She acts like it never happened.
98
00:05:02,940 –> 00:05:05,980
But I know that there was
something in that house that was
99
00:05:05,980 –> 00:05:09,710
tormenting my daughter, and I
can only hope that it’s not
100
00:05:09,710 –> 00:05:11,510
hurting whoever bought the house
next.
101
00:05:11,910 –> 00:05:14,910
That is a very good story.
Thank you so much for sharing.
102
00:05:14,910 –> 00:05:17,110
Of course we’re going to send
you some paranormal night shift
103
00:05:17,110 –> 00:05:20,070
stickers, but tell me in the
comments, what do you guys think
104
00:05:20,070 –> 00:05:22,470
about that?
If you have a house that you
105
00:05:22,470 –> 00:05:26,150
know has paranormal activity,
should it be disclosed at the
106
00:05:26,150 –> 00:05:29,270
time of purchasing the house,
especially if there’s children
107
00:05:29,270 –> 00:05:32,470
around?
Tell me what you think and enjoy
108
00:05:32,710 –> 00:05:33,790
Paranormal Night shift.
