The Monster Under The Bed – Paranormal Nightshift Story – Episode 50

1
00:00:03,040 –> 00:00:06,080
Welcome to Paranormal Night
Shift your home for all things

2
00:00:06,080 –> 00:00:09,080
that go bump in the dark and
your fan stories told here.

3
00:00:09,760 –> 00:00:13,640
Today’s story comes from Ryan
and it’s called The Monster

4
00:00:13,640 –> 00:00:17,000
Under the Bed.
As a dad, we all have our

5
00:00:17,160 –> 00:00:20,200
nighttime duties, right?
Say your prayers, brush your

6
00:00:20,200 –> 00:00:23,560
teeth, tuck everybody in and
always check under the bed for

7
00:00:23,560 –> 00:00:26,680
monsters.
But I never thought in a million

8
00:00:26,680 –> 00:00:32,479
years that my monster under the
bed would become a reality.

9
00:00:33,000 –> 00:00:35,160
Started when we moved into our
new house.

10
00:00:35,680 –> 00:00:38,680
Everything was fine.
Little man seemed to absolutely

11
00:00:38,680 –> 00:00:42,920
love it, but he continued to
talk about monsters under the

12
00:00:42,920 –> 00:00:46,360
bed.
He heard things all the time

13
00:00:46,920 –> 00:00:51,480
from in the closet, under the
bed, and I told him you’re

14
00:00:51,480 –> 00:00:53,680
getting a little bit too old to
believe in monsters.

15
00:00:53,680 –> 00:00:56,120
Now it it’s getting a little
silly.

16
00:00:56,120 –> 00:00:58,490
Okay, say your prayers and go
sleep.

17
00:00:58,490 –> 00:01:00,810
I don’t want to hear anything
else about monsters.

18
00:01:01,530 –> 00:01:04,410
My exwife and I had marital
issues.

19
00:01:04,930 –> 00:01:08,290
I had joint custody, but I
worked all the time.

20
00:01:08,290 –> 00:01:13,170
So really only got a little man
on the weekend and I was working

21
00:01:13,170 –> 00:01:15,130
all the time.
It it didn’t really make a

22
00:01:15,130 –> 00:01:17,610
difference.
The only days I had off were the

23
00:01:17,610 –> 00:01:21,090
days he was there.
I worked night shift and most of

24
00:01:21,090 –> 00:01:24,290
the time when I came home I was
just absolutely exhausted.

25
00:01:24,690 –> 00:01:28,670
I didn’t have enough time to
really listen to my new house or

26
00:01:28,870 –> 00:01:32,390
hear my new house settle.
It just was a place to sleep,

27
00:01:32,390 –> 00:01:34,550
really.
The weekends were the only time

28
00:01:34,550 –> 00:01:38,310
that I was actually home, and
one weekend I was home by

29
00:01:38,310 –> 00:01:42,270
myself.
My exwife decided that she was

30
00:01:42,270 –> 00:01:45,230
going out of town.
She asked if she could have him

31
00:01:45,590 –> 00:01:48,710
that weekend.
So it was the first time since I

32
00:01:48,710 –> 00:01:52,230
had been single and newly
divorced that I actually had the

33
00:01:52,230 –> 00:01:55,630
house to myself.
And like any newly divorced man,

34
00:01:56,190 –> 00:01:57,830
I stayed home.
I didn’t do anything.

35
00:01:58,430 –> 00:02:02,790
I stayed home, watched TV, and
that’s when I started to hear my

36
00:02:02,790 –> 00:02:06,350
house.
It sounded like something was

37
00:02:06,350 –> 00:02:09,110
moving.
I could hear it every now and

38
00:02:09,110 –> 00:02:12,630
then, very faintly.
It honestly sounded like the

39
00:02:12,630 –> 00:02:16,790
walls were breathing.
I I looked everywhere that I

40
00:02:16,790 –> 00:02:20,870
could, trying to find the source
of the sound, but I didn’t see

41
00:02:20,870 –> 00:02:22,790
anything.
I just figured it was the first

42
00:02:22,790 –> 00:02:25,350
time that I’ve really been alone
in a long time too.

43
00:02:25,350 –> 00:02:28,220
So maybe maybe it’s all just
getting to me.

44
00:02:28,220 –> 00:02:31,860
Maybe it’s just getting to me
and I’m overthinking this.

45
00:02:32,820 –> 00:02:35,340
That was the first time that
I’ve been in the house by myself

46
00:02:35,340 –> 00:02:38,020
and I was just being silly,
right?

47
00:02:38,100 –> 00:02:40,780
There’s no such thing as
monsters going to tell you that?

48
00:02:40,780 –> 00:02:43,940
I wasn’t freaked out.
I started noticing more things

49
00:02:43,940 –> 00:02:48,860
about the house, more creeks,
and I tried to come home early

50
00:02:48,860 –> 00:02:51,520
every now and then.
Maybe maybe I just needed some

51
00:02:51,640 –> 00:02:53,320
daylight.
Something like that working

52
00:02:53,320 –> 00:02:55,320
night shift.
Your mind’s always messed up in

53
00:02:55,320 –> 00:02:58,200
the 1st place so I stayed up a
couple of days.

54
00:02:58,640 –> 00:03:02,680
I worked and stayed up and just
tried to get a feel for the

55
00:03:02,680 –> 00:03:06,000
house.
But it everything just felt off.

56
00:03:06,480 –> 00:03:08,840
The energy in the house felt
off.

57
00:03:08,840 –> 00:03:13,680
Everything felt weird.
The house felt alive.

58
00:03:14,040 –> 00:03:15,760
The next weekend I had little
man.

59
00:03:15,840 –> 00:03:18,120
We’ve spent most of the day
hanging out and having a good

60
00:03:18,120 –> 00:03:20,210
time.
I really didn’t want to be in

61
00:03:20,210 –> 00:03:24,250
the house with him.
I felt nervous in the house with

62
00:03:24,250 –> 00:03:26,610
him.
We hung out and went and watched

63
00:03:26,610 –> 00:03:30,130
some movies, had a good time,
ate popcorn and we finally made

64
00:03:30,130 –> 00:03:32,810
it back to the house.
I don’t know, maybe midnight.

65
00:03:33,010 –> 00:03:35,090
His mom would have gotten so mad
at me.

66
00:03:35,610 –> 00:03:39,250
I laid him in bed and he said
dad, dad, check, check under my

67
00:03:39,250 –> 00:03:43,210
bed for monsters, please.
I looked under his bed and I

68
00:03:43,770 –> 00:03:47,530
didn’t see anything.
Candy bar wrappers and Pepsis,

69
00:03:48,160 –> 00:03:49,560
things like that.
Nothing.

70
00:03:49,840 –> 00:03:52,240
Nothing that you wouldn’t expect
to see under a kid’s bed.

71
00:03:53,200 –> 00:03:56,600
But then I remembered he hadn’t
been here.

72
00:03:57,520 –> 00:04:00,200
We I always made him clean his
room before I dropped him off.

73
00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:03,440
He he hadn’t been here.
Surely I wouldn’t have just let

74
00:04:03,440 –> 00:04:07,280
him leave trash under his bed.
I made him clean his bed up

75
00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:10,520
under his bed before he went to
sleep. 2:00 in the morning I was

76
00:04:10,520 –> 00:04:13,400
woke up by my 8 year old coming
into my bed.

77
00:04:13,560 –> 00:04:14,080
Dad.
There.

78
00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:15,960
There’s a monster in my room,
Dad.

79
00:04:16,459 –> 00:04:18,180
There’s a there’s a monster
under my bed.

80
00:04:18,180 –> 00:04:20,459
I hear it.
There’s there’s a man.

81
00:04:20,459 –> 00:04:24,180
There’s a monster under my room.
What are you what are you

82
00:04:24,180 –> 00:04:25,940
talking about?
Just come in.

83
00:04:26,140 –> 00:04:28,180
Come get in bed, buddy.
Come get in bed.

84
00:04:28,180 –> 00:04:30,820
It’s the you’re it’s you’re
being foolish.

85
00:04:30,820 –> 00:04:35,260
Just get in bed.
But that’s when I heard it in

86
00:04:35,260 –> 00:04:38,500
his room.
I could hear what sounded like

87
00:04:38,660 –> 00:04:42,420
something moving.
It sounded like there was

88
00:04:42,500 –> 00:04:46,060
someone or something in his
room.

89
00:04:46,430 –> 00:04:51,430
I crept quietly to his room and
I put my ear to the door and

90
00:04:51,430 –> 00:04:52,750
that’s when I started to hear
it.

91
00:04:53,550 –> 00:04:56,910
There.
There was something in his room.

92
00:04:57,390 –> 00:05:00,750
I could hear it moving around.
I could hear it moving

93
00:05:00,750 –> 00:05:02,990
somewhere.
I figured maybe maybe it was a

94
00:05:02,990 –> 00:05:06,470
squirrel or or something like
that, but it was sounded so

95
00:05:06,470 –> 00:05:09,630
large.
It sounded inhuman.

96
00:05:09,630 –> 00:05:12,590
It was it was large and it made
so much noise.

97
00:05:12,950 –> 00:05:16,060
Why was this so loud?
As a dad, I knew what I had to

98
00:05:16,060 –> 00:05:17,460
do.
I had to protect my son.

99
00:05:17,460 –> 00:05:20,620
But I was still absolutely
terrified myself.

100
00:05:20,940 –> 00:05:23,260
I slung the door open, and
that’s when I saw it.

101
00:05:23,540 –> 00:05:26,220
A hand.
A hand underneath my son’s bed.

102
00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:30,180
Came it out it there was a hand.
I saw it.

103
00:05:30,940 –> 00:05:32,820
I flipped his bed over and I saw
it.

104
00:05:33,260 –> 00:05:36,340
A hand and eyes.
Two eyes moving.

105
00:05:36,340 –> 00:05:39,700
A floorboard underneath his bed.
It was a it was a human.

106
00:05:40,060 –> 00:05:42,900
It was a man underneath my son’s
bed.

107
00:05:43,220 –> 00:05:48,180
It was under my house.
I protected myself, if you know

108
00:05:48,180 –> 00:05:53,140
what I mean, and I called 911.
I told whatever, whoever it was

109
00:05:53,380 –> 00:05:54,740
that the police were on their
way.

110
00:05:55,180 –> 00:05:58,820
The police surrounded my house
and we opened the crawl space

111
00:05:58,820 –> 00:06:03,660
door underneath my house to find
a man, a man who had been living

112
00:06:03,660 –> 00:06:08,980
under my house for months now,
in a crawl space no more than

113
00:06:08,980 –> 00:06:12,180
two feet high.
He had lived under there since

114
00:06:12,180 –> 00:06:17,090
we had moved in and every day
that I was at work he would come

115
00:06:17,490 –> 00:06:23,730
under my son’s bed, sleep in the
bed, eat our food, shower in our

116
00:06:23,730 –> 00:06:26,930
showers, he said he watched us
when we moved in.

117
00:06:27,490 –> 00:06:30,370
He knew that I worked night
shift and then I would be asleep

118
00:06:30,370 –> 00:06:34,130
during the day and away at
night, so he would wait until

119
00:06:34,130 –> 00:06:37,890
I’d left to work and basically
use the house as his own house.

120
00:06:39,530 –> 00:06:44,060
Charges were pressed and other
than trespassing and maybe

121
00:06:44,060 –> 00:06:45,900
breaking and entering, nothing
stuck.

122
00:06:46,420 –> 00:06:49,780
Just a homeless man living
underneath my house, coming in,

123
00:06:49,780 –> 00:06:51,820
eating our food and scaring my
children.

124
00:06:52,500 –> 00:06:56,500
There are things that go bump in
the night, but sometimes there

125
00:06:56,500 –> 00:06:59,020
really are monsters under the
bed.

126
00:07:00,180 –> 00:07:02,980
Thank you Ryan for your story.
We are definitely going to send

127
00:07:02,980 –> 00:07:05,660
you some paranormal night shift
stickers buddy.

128
00:07:06,180 –> 00:07:09,060
I actually had the privilege to
talk to Ryan about this story

129
00:07:09,060 –> 00:07:13,320
and it I get a lot of them.
This one kind of freaked me out

130
00:07:13,320 –> 00:07:15,600
as a dad.
I’m I’m not going to lie, the

131
00:07:15,600 –> 00:07:20,480
idea that someone is living
under your house is far scarier

132
00:07:20,480 –> 00:07:22,800
than anything else that would go
bump in the night.

133
00:07:23,440 –> 00:07:27,000
Thank you so much for sending in
your stories and please send all

134
00:07:27,000 –> 00:07:29,040
your stories in to paranormal
night shift.

135
00:07:29,280 –> 00:07:30,120
I hope you enjoyed.
