Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift, where we delve into spine-chilling stories that will leave you questioning the supernatural. In today’s episode titled “The Monument,” we explore the unsettling tale of Tim from Texas, who shares his family’s haunting experiences after a tragic event.
It all started on a fateful 4th of July weekend when a bank robbery led to a violent confrontation with the police, right on Tim’s doorstep. The shootout left a man dead, and his mother later sought to build a memorial monument for him. Little did they know that this act of compassion would open the gates to a world of terror.
Soon after the monument’s construction, eerie occurrences plagued Tim’s family home. Bumps, creaks, and disembodied voices created an unsettling atmosphere, leaving them feeling constantly watched. The paranormal activity escalated, causing physical harm to family members and scaring away anyone who came near.
Dishes flew through the air, salt shakers were thrown, and inexplicable bruises and scratches appeared on their bodies. The haunting even manifested as a shocking encounter with a floating, ghostly head during a terrifying shower incident.
Fearing for their safety, Tim’s family sought help from a spiritualist or priest, who performed cleansing rituals in an attempt to rid the house of the malevolent presence. It was only when they focused on the monument that they discovered a mysterious idol hidden within, which seemed to be the source of the haunting.
The priest believed that the monument was acting as a conduit for dark energy, drawing in malevolence and tormenting the household. After removing the idol and purifying the area, the haunting finally ceased, and the home returned to a sense of normalcy.
The chilling tale leaves us pondering the question: Do bad people leave an evil presence in this world? Join us as we explore the complexities of the afterlife and the lingering impact of tragic events in this spine-tingling episode of Paranormal Nightshift.

Today’s story is called The

00:00:05,200 –> 00:00:07,920
Monument and brings forth a
question.
4
00:00:08,480 –> 00:00:13,320
Do bad people become bad?
Ghost Tim from Texas writes in
5
00:00:13,640 –> 00:00:16,960
and his story would lead you to
believe so It was 4th of July
6
00:00:16,960 –> 00:00:19,080
weekend.
I was excited because this year
7
00:00:19,080 –> 00:00:21,080
we were actually going to have a
block party and they were going
8
00:00:21,080 –> 00:00:24,280
to shoot fireworks off, sitting
on the couch watching cartoons
9
00:00:24,280 –> 00:00:26,720
with my brother when we heard
the loudest bang that we had
10
00:00:26,720 –> 00:00:28,930
ever heard.
They’re starting without us, my
11
00:00:28,930 –> 00:00:30,970
brother said as we rushed to the
front door.
12
00:00:31,290 –> 00:00:34,210
We opened our front door to a
car wrapped around a tree in our
13
00:00:34,210 –> 00:00:36,490
front yard.
Police officers everywhere.
14
00:00:36,650 –> 00:00:38,810
One of them tackled me and my
brother and threw us in the
15
00:00:38,810 –> 00:00:40,650
house.
Weapon drawl told us to stay
16
00:00:40,650 –> 00:00:43,610
down, stay quiet.
Happened afterwards was things
17
00:00:43,610 –> 00:00:46,970
that I’d only seen in movies.
Gunfire, rain throughout the
18
00:00:47,010 –> 00:00:49,530
air.
It sounded like a war zone for
19
00:00:49,530 –> 00:00:52,250
what seemed like forever.
Everything settled.
20
00:00:52,250 –> 00:00:55,530
It was the most graphic, vivid
and horrific thing that I’d ever
21
00:00:55,530 –> 00:00:57,780
seen.
This gentleman and friends had
22
00:00:57,780 –> 00:01:02,340
robbed a bank, unalived a woman,
took her car and led the police
23
00:01:02,340 –> 00:01:05,379
on a high speed chase that ended
right in my front yard.
24
00:01:05,780 –> 00:01:08,100
Once he hit the tree in her
front yard, he had gotten out
25
00:01:08,100 –> 00:01:11,100
and opened fire on the police.
They returned fire to protect
26
00:01:11,100 –> 00:01:13,500
themselves.
And that’s the end of his story.
27
00:01:14,060 –> 00:01:16,620
Or so we thought.
That story is not enough to
28
00:01:16,620 –> 00:01:18,740
shake you to your core.
Wait until you hear what
29
00:01:18,740 –> 00:01:21,740
happened next.
A year later, the gentleman’s
30
00:01:21,740 –> 00:01:23,300
mother came knocking on our
door.
31
00:01:23,740 –> 00:01:28,610
She asked if she could build a
monument memorial for him and my
32
00:01:28,610 –> 00:01:31,930
mom felt her pain and said of
course you can.
33
00:01:32,170 –> 00:01:33,850
She left flowers in her front
yard.
34
00:01:34,210 –> 00:01:37,450
It’s also the night that all the
activity started almost
35
00:01:37,450 –> 00:01:40,370
instantaneously.
We started hearing bumps and
36
00:01:40,370 –> 00:01:43,290
creaks at our house, disembodied
voices.
37
00:01:43,290 –> 00:01:45,530
It never felt like you were
truly alone.
38
00:01:45,970 –> 00:01:49,330
One night my mom was walking
upstairs and something had had
39
00:01:49,370 –> 00:01:53,090
pushed her or pulled her back.
She fell three or four steps,
40
00:01:53,090 –> 00:01:54,850
hit her head and needed to get
stitches.
41
00:01:55,250 –> 00:01:57,810
Another time, my brother and I
had a sleepover with some
42
00:01:57,810 –> 00:01:59,570
friends that we had made from
Cub Scouts.
43
00:02:00,090 –> 00:02:02,210
At 3:00 o’clock in the morning,
one of the kids woke up
44
00:02:02,210 –> 00:02:06,170
screaming and holding his chest.
My mom and dad rushed in to find
45
00:02:06,170 –> 00:02:09,370
that this young man had been cut
from his navel all the way up to
46
00:02:09,370 –> 00:02:14,770
his chest so deep it looked like
somebody had taken a box cutter
47
00:02:14,770 –> 00:02:17,290
to him.
After that incident, of course,
48
00:02:17,290 –> 00:02:20,570
we became the talk of the town.
Nobody ever came over anymore.
49
00:02:20,770 –> 00:02:23,050
Nobody ever really associated
with us anymore.
50
00:02:23,810 –> 00:02:25,850
But the paranormal activity
didn’t stop there.
51
00:02:26,210 –> 00:02:28,490
It actually only intensified and
got worse.
52
00:02:28,810 –> 00:02:33,050
For years it was that way.
Dishes being broke, salt shakers
53
00:02:33,050 –> 00:02:35,970
being thrown, anything and
everything you could think of
54
00:02:35,970 –> 00:02:38,970
that you’ve seen in a scary
movie was happening at our
55
00:02:38,970 –> 00:02:41,090
house.
All of our family would wake up
56
00:02:41,090 –> 00:02:44,610
with cuts and bruises, scratch
marks on our backs and chest.
57
00:02:44,970 –> 00:02:48,770
Our house was truly haunted and
it tormented and terrified us
58
00:02:48,770 –> 00:02:50,850
for years.
But what do you do?
59
00:02:51,370 –> 00:02:54,250
We didn’t know what to do.
The final straw was when it
60
00:02:54,250 –> 00:02:56,010
started to show itself to my
mother.
61
00:02:56,770 –> 00:03:00,330
She was taking a shower one day,
and to this day she claimed that
62
00:03:00,330 –> 00:03:02,770
something started to pull her
hair.
63
00:03:03,290 –> 00:03:06,330
As she was lathering her hair,
it stood straight in the air.
64
00:03:06,650 –> 00:03:09,970
Something was pulling her up.
Every time she’d wash the soap
65
00:03:09,970 –> 00:03:13,450
out, it would grab and blind Her
eyes Said it was like she was in
66
00:03:13,450 –> 00:03:15,570
a fight.
It was grabbing her, pulling her
67
00:03:15,570 –> 00:03:18,010
down closer and harder.
Faster.
68
00:03:18,050 –> 00:03:22,510
It continued to slam her head
and her hair into the wall,
69
00:03:22,670 –> 00:03:25,030
finally broke loose.
And there it, There it was.
70
00:03:25,030 –> 00:03:28,310
I know it sounds absolutely
insane, but there was a a
71
00:03:28,870 –> 00:03:32,830
floating, almost transparent
holographic head.
72
00:03:33,350 –> 00:03:36,030
And we all saw it.
We rushed outside, my mother
73
00:03:36,030 –> 00:03:38,150
covered in a towel.
We didn’t know what to do.
74
00:03:38,190 –> 00:03:39,870
We spent the night in the hotel
room.
75
00:03:40,150 –> 00:03:43,350
That night, my mother called a
spiritualist or a priest.
76
00:03:43,750 –> 00:03:45,430
He came into our house the next
day.
77
00:03:45,710 –> 00:03:47,470
We opened every door, every
window.
78
00:03:47,960 –> 00:03:51,120
We burned sage as he repeated
prayers that I had never heard
79
00:03:51,120 –> 00:03:53,880
before.
Energy in the house just felt so
80
00:03:54,320 –> 00:03:57,720
ominous and terrible.
The priest continued to command
81
00:03:57,720 –> 00:04:00,320
the spirit to leave, but it
would never go anywhere.
82
00:04:00,320 –> 00:04:05,400
It felt so, so lingering, so
hard, so aggressive.
83
00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:08,760
That’s when the priest saw it.
The monument that was in our
84
00:04:08,760 –> 00:04:12,720
front yard to this young man.
He walked towards it and it
85
00:04:12,720 –> 00:04:17,300
began to move him and my mother
tore the thing apart and found
86
00:04:17,300 –> 00:04:21,740
some sort of idol, I guess.
He explained to my mother that
87
00:04:21,740 –> 00:04:25,740
it was from an ancient religion,
some sort of voodoo crossover
88
00:04:25,900 –> 00:04:28,540
was wrapped in bloody cloth and
feathers.
89
00:04:28,540 –> 00:04:32,140
And he said that the monument
was pulling the energy towards
90
00:04:32,140 –> 00:04:35,940
it, poured holy water all over
it and took it with him and the
91
00:04:35,940 –> 00:04:38,220
energy stopped.
It was all gone.
92
00:04:38,620 –> 00:04:41,740
It never came back.
For the first time in years, our
93
00:04:41,740 –> 00:04:45,590
house felt like home again.
What are your thoughts on this?
94
00:04:46,150 –> 00:04:49,270
Do evil people leave an evil
presence in this world?
