The Witch – Paranormal Nightshift Story – Episode 108

1
00:00:03,440 –> 00:00:06,760
Welcome to Paranormal Night
Shift, your home for all things

2
00:00:06,760 –> 00:00:10,000
that go bump in the dark and
your fan stories told here.

3
00:00:10,560 –> 00:00:16,079
Today’s story comes from Billy
and is a classic tale of the

4
00:00:16,079 –> 00:00:19,720
little boy and the witch.
The outskirts of a very small

5
00:00:19,720 –> 00:00:21,640
town.
There was a dark and dilapidated

6
00:00:21,640 –> 00:00:24,200
house.
It was said to be the House of

7
00:00:24,200 –> 00:00:27,440
the witch, and the villagers
avoided it at all cost.

8
00:00:28,070 –> 00:00:30,990
One day a boy named Billy was
playing in the woods.

9
00:00:31,150 –> 00:00:35,150
When he came too close to the
witch’s house, he heard strange

10
00:00:35,150 –> 00:00:37,110
noises coming from the house
inside.

11
00:00:37,510 –> 00:00:39,670
He was curious and they got the
best of him.

12
00:00:40,070 –> 00:00:42,310
He snuck to the house to peer
through the windows.

13
00:00:42,310 –> 00:00:44,710
Inside the house, Billy could
see the witch.

14
00:00:45,230 –> 00:00:47,310
She was wearing a long black
cloak.

15
00:00:47,830 –> 00:00:50,750
Her eyes seemed to be glowing
reddish yellow.

16
00:00:51,230 –> 00:00:54,950
She seemed to be in some sort of
trance and continued to chant

17
00:00:55,310 –> 00:00:58,870
words that Billy did not know.
Absolutely terrified, he turned

18
00:00:58,870 –> 00:01:02,430
to run, but the witch saw him.
She cackled with Glee and

19
00:01:02,430 –> 00:01:05,870
reached her hand out as a mist
shot out of her hand and it

20
00:01:05,870 –> 00:01:09,070
wrapped itself around Billy.
He tried to scream, but there

21
00:01:09,070 –> 00:01:12,510
was no sound to come out.
The witch dragged Billy into her

22
00:01:12,510 –> 00:01:15,990
house and slammed the door shut.
Billy struggled and he kicked,

23
00:01:15,990 –> 00:01:18,350
but the witch was way too strong
and powerful.

24
00:01:18,710 –> 00:01:21,710
She dragged him down into her
dungeon and locked him inside of

25
00:01:21,710 –> 00:01:24,230
a cage.
Billy was scared and he was

26
00:01:24,230 –> 00:01:26,890
alone.
He did not know what the witch

27
00:01:26,890 –> 00:01:29,810
was going to do to him.
He tried to call out for help,

28
00:01:29,810 –> 00:01:33,690
but no one could hear him.
The next day, Billy’s parents

29
00:01:33,690 –> 00:01:36,570
knew that he was missing.
They’ve searched the village and

30
00:01:36,570 –> 00:01:38,170
the woods, but they could not
find him.

31
00:01:38,610 –> 00:01:41,250
He even heard his parents
knocking on the door speaking to

32
00:01:41,250 –> 00:01:46,210
the witch, but somehow, someway,
his parents could not hear him.

33
00:01:46,770 –> 00:01:50,890
He screamed, knowing that this
could be it, that this was the

34
00:01:50,890 –> 00:01:53,010
end.
He was heartbroken.

35
00:01:53,690 –> 00:01:57,250
The witch would come down and
feed him water and bread, trying

36
00:01:57,250 –> 00:02:01,490
to get him fat for whatever
plans she had had.

37
00:02:01,770 –> 00:02:04,250
The witch would go to her
cauldron and mix together

38
00:02:04,250 –> 00:02:06,850
potions.
She would pour them into a glass

39
00:02:06,850 –> 00:02:08,690
and force them down Billy’s
throat.

40
00:02:09,130 –> 00:02:12,610
As she began to chant spells
over and over again, Billy

41
00:02:12,610 –> 00:02:16,090
watched in horror as the witch
would transform, her skin

42
00:02:16,090 –> 00:02:20,050
turning green and Gray, her hair
turning black and her eyes

43
00:02:20,050 –> 00:02:24,730
glowing with a large red tint.
It’s like her fingernails and

44
00:02:24,730 –> 00:02:26,850
her teeth would grow and become
sharper.

45
00:02:27,090 –> 00:02:30,610
She became a hideous monster the
more that Billy drank the

46
00:02:30,610 –> 00:02:33,450
potion.
Billy decided he knew he had to

47
00:02:33,450 –> 00:02:36,370
escape no matter what.
He was going to fight the witch,

48
00:02:36,730 –> 00:02:40,930
but he was become so weak he
knew that he was not going to be

49
00:02:40,930 –> 00:02:42,890
able to fight her all by
himself.

50
00:02:42,890 –> 00:02:46,490
He had no power and she was
growing stronger by the minute.

51
00:02:46,810 –> 00:02:50,010
The more that she would force
him to drink this potion, the

52
00:02:50,010 –> 00:02:52,450
more he felt the life coming out
of him.

53
00:02:53,350 –> 00:02:55,510
She came to feed Billy that
morning.

54
00:02:56,110 –> 00:02:59,150
Billy waited for her to open the
cage door and he kicked and

55
00:02:59,150 –> 00:03:03,070
screamed and scratched his way
out, fighting every little bit.

56
00:03:03,590 –> 00:03:06,070
Billy was gouged and and
scratched.

57
00:03:06,510 –> 00:03:09,470
The witch was way too strong,
but Billy somehow managed to

58
00:03:09,470 –> 00:03:13,310
throw her into the cauldron and
he somehow managed to open the

59
00:03:13,310 –> 00:03:16,230
door and run as much as he
could, but she was following

60
00:03:16,230 –> 00:03:18,350
him.
He screamed into the woods and

61
00:03:18,350 –> 00:03:21,270
ran as she chased him.
Right on his heels.

62
00:03:21,910 –> 00:03:25,110
He could see the edge of town.
He screamed as loud as he could.

63
00:03:25,390 –> 00:03:28,110
The witch right there.
Once she saw the lights of the

64
00:03:28,110 –> 00:03:31,190
town, she stopped as well,
knowing that she could not go in

65
00:03:31,190 –> 00:03:32,670
there.
It would surely be her demise

66
00:03:32,670 –> 00:03:36,390
and her end.
Billy crawled his way into town,

67
00:03:37,190 –> 00:03:40,510
to his house and fell right
there on the doorstep, his

68
00:03:40,510 –> 00:03:43,630
parents picking him up.
He was bruised and battered

69
00:03:44,070 –> 00:03:47,350
after his captors, but they
never could get back to the

70
00:03:47,350 –> 00:03:50,520
house.
Billy told his parents, but they

71
00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:52,560
could never find the witch’s
house again.

72
00:03:53,040 –> 00:03:56,760
She’d grown too powerful and
somehow had disappeared into the

73
00:03:56,760 –> 00:04:00,040
night.
But she left Billy with scars up

74
00:04:00,040 –> 00:04:03,800
and down his back.
This is why you should always

75
00:04:03,800 –> 00:04:08,920
listen to your grandparents.
That’s the way my grandpa told

76
00:04:08,920 –> 00:04:13,120
this story, right?
All these stories come back from

77
00:04:13,280 –> 00:04:17,240
legend.
My grandfather named Billy would

78
00:04:17,240 –> 00:04:19,760
tell this story almost every
Halloween.

79
00:04:20,290 –> 00:04:24,010
It was his way of explaining the
scars that he had up and down

80
00:04:24,010 –> 00:04:26,770
his back.
He said when he was a child he

81
00:04:26,770 –> 00:04:29,450
was attacked by the witch.
That’s how he got the scars.

82
00:04:29,450 –> 00:04:31,650
And I love good stories like
this.

83
00:04:31,650 –> 00:04:34,650
These stories definitely become
the stories that we tell our

84
00:04:34,650 –> 00:04:38,130
kids and and and they’re fun and
they’re entertaining.

85
00:04:38,850 –> 00:04:41,450
But there is a level of truth
behind it.

86
00:04:42,130 –> 00:04:45,650
No one knows how Billy’s
grandfather’s got got his scars

87
00:04:45,650 –> 00:04:49,610
other than Billy’s grandfather.
But isn’t the story fun to tell?

88
00:04:50,420 –> 00:04:52,580
I’ve had a lot of people
recently come in and they

89
00:04:52,580 –> 00:04:55,100
question the paranormal.
When they say that the stories

90
00:04:55,100 –> 00:04:58,020
that we do are not real.
They’re told and they’re

91
00:04:58,020 –> 00:05:00,140
made-up.
But what?

92
00:05:00,500 –> 00:05:03,780
What difference does it make?
They’re fun to tell and they’re

93
00:05:03,780 –> 00:05:06,740
entertaining.
If you have a fun story that

94
00:05:06,740 –> 00:05:09,900
your grandparents used to tell
you, I’d love to tell it for the

95
00:05:09,900 –> 00:05:12,660
world.
Please send it in to paranormal

96
00:05:12,660 –> 00:05:15,060
Night shift.
And we look forward to telling

97
00:05:15,060 –> 00:05:19,670
your stories now.
My grandfather, he got his scars

98
00:05:19,670 –> 00:05:23,790
in Vietnam from scrap metal on a
grenade that took out majority

99
00:05:23,790 –> 00:05:31,390
of his friends and he said to me
that sometimes the truth is far

100
00:05:31,390 –> 00:05:36,070
scarier than a made-up story.
So why not just enjoy the story?

101
00:05:37,030 –> 00:05:39,670
I think that’s how these stories
originate and I think that’s how

102
00:05:39,670 –> 00:05:41,590
these stories started getting
told.

103
00:05:42,390 –> 00:05:45,590
As kids, we tell these stories
and and and laugh and have fun

104
00:05:45,590 –> 00:05:50,580
with them, and I think it’s
because we know that reality is

105
00:05:50,580 –> 00:05:52,900
far scarier than anything we
could make up.
