1
00:00:02,400 –> 00:00:05,520
Welcome to Paranormal Night
Shift your home for all things

2
00:00:05,520 –> 00:00:08,560
that go bump in the dark and
your fan stories told here.

3
00:00:09,400 –> 00:00:14,000
Today’s story comes from Trey
and it’s called We Were Young.

4
00:00:14,520 –> 00:00:17,440
To this day, I don’t know much
about Ouija boards.

5
00:00:17,920 –> 00:00:20,560
I don’t care to.
All I need to know is that they

6
00:00:20,560 –> 00:00:26,120
scare me and that the one time
we messed with one was one times

7
00:00:26,120 –> 00:00:29,160
too many.
I grew up in Montgomery, AL.

8
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,600
We weren’t poor, but we weren’t
well off either.

9
00:00:33,000 –> 00:00:35,680
We lived in a duplex, but we
were happy.

10
00:00:36,440 –> 00:00:40,040
The family next to us had two
little boys about the same age

11
00:00:40,040 –> 00:00:42,280
as me, and they had a older
sister.

12
00:00:42,680 –> 00:00:45,160
It was our summer block party.
Everybody around the

13
00:00:45,160 –> 00:00:47,640
neighborhood was out having a
good time.

14
00:00:47,960 –> 00:00:51,040
All the parents were out in the
parking lot just hanging out,

15
00:00:51,040 –> 00:00:54,720
grilling and having fun like
every other block party

16
00:00:54,720 –> 00:00:57,630
anybody’s ever been to.
What was the best part about the

17
00:00:57,630 –> 00:01:00,670
block party is the kids kind of
had free range of the houses.

18
00:01:00,990 –> 00:01:03,790
We would just go back and forth
wherever we wanted to go.

19
00:01:04,390 –> 00:01:08,110
The neighbors that live directly
across from us had older sister

20
00:01:08,630 –> 00:01:10,950
and we went to go hang out in
their house.

21
00:01:11,270 –> 00:01:14,110
Now their room set adjacent to
my room.

22
00:01:14,670 –> 00:01:18,270
It was a duplex, so I could hear
them and we actually would

23
00:01:18,270 –> 00:01:21,590
actually talk to each other at
night and things like that, like

24
00:01:21,830 –> 00:01:24,920
code.
But we all had a good time.

25
00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:29,320
But they were sitting in that
room, the older sister and some

26
00:01:29,320 –> 00:01:32,640
of the older kids, and they were
playing with a Ouija board.

27
00:01:33,360 –> 00:01:38,440
Me and my friends walked in on
them playing, hey, do you guys

28
00:01:38,440 –> 00:01:40,600
want to play too?
Sure.

29
00:01:40,840 –> 00:01:43,600
We were six years old.
We were just excited that

30
00:01:43,680 –> 00:01:46,640
anybody wanted to play with us.
Remember, they started asking it

31
00:01:46,640 –> 00:01:50,160
questions and the plan chat
began to a move around the

32
00:01:50,160 –> 00:01:53,260
board.
We all thought it was just good

33
00:01:53,260 –> 00:01:57,260
fun, but when they started
communicating with something,

34
00:01:57,940 –> 00:02:02,100
they used me and my friends as
their sacrifice.

35
00:02:02,940 –> 00:02:07,900
See, whatever they started
contacting wanted some sort of

36
00:02:08,780 –> 00:02:14,620
sacrifice and teenagers being
teenagers and us being six, they

37
00:02:14,620 –> 00:02:17,140
said sure you can have one of
them.

38
00:02:17,700 –> 00:02:22,380
Why not plan chep begin to spin
around in circles violently.

39
00:02:22,820 –> 00:02:25,740
Whatever happened, it scared the
older kids as well.

40
00:02:26,140 –> 00:02:29,260
I remember them looking at us
and going, you have to get out

41
00:02:29,260 –> 00:02:30,980
of here.
You you got to run.

42
00:02:31,340 –> 00:02:34,540
Well, I was 6 and I ran and I
cried and I told my mom.

43
00:02:34,820 –> 00:02:38,340
That’s what I did.
My mom and their mom were very

44
00:02:38,340 –> 00:02:41,340
upset with them.
They made the big kids apologize

45
00:02:41,340 –> 00:02:45,500
to the little kids.
They were very, very upset.

46
00:02:46,300 –> 00:02:50,460
But the thing was, the big kids
seemed kind of scared too.

47
00:02:51,080 –> 00:02:55,400
It just didn’t make sense to me.
We didn’t talk to that family

48
00:02:55,400 –> 00:02:57,720
much more after that, even
though they lived right next to

49
00:02:57,720 –> 00:02:59,480
us.
My mom kind of refused to be

50
00:02:59,480 –> 00:03:02,640
their friends anymore.
She was very upset about the

51
00:03:02,640 –> 00:03:05,880
whole situation.
They moved shortly after that,

52
00:03:05,880 –> 00:03:09,720
and the apartment set vacant for
a couple months.

53
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:13,640
But when that apartment was
empty, I told you that their

54
00:03:13,640 –> 00:03:15,520
bedroom was right across from
ours.

55
00:03:16,280 –> 00:03:20,440
I continued to hear it
scratching and clawing on the

56
00:03:20,440 –> 00:03:22,440
walls.
Knocking.

57
00:03:23,880 –> 00:03:26,240
It sounded like something was
calling my name.

58
00:03:27,080 –> 00:03:31,560
I continued to hear the
scratching and the knocking all

59
00:03:31,560 –> 00:03:34,200
the time.
Now granted I was 6 and I was

60
00:03:34,200 –> 00:03:39,080
scared, but I know what I heard.
I would wake my parents up and

61
00:03:39,080 –> 00:03:42,520
asked to sleep in their room.
My mom and dad finally got tired

62
00:03:42,520 –> 00:03:44,600
of it.
They would go into my room and

63
00:03:44,600 –> 00:03:47,560
try to lay me back down.
And that’s when my dad heard it.

64
00:03:48,360 –> 00:03:53,380
The scratching and the knocking
coming from the wall right in

65
00:03:53,380 –> 00:03:58,140
the middle, the the the small
tiny little connecting wall.

66
00:03:58,580 –> 00:04:02,820
It offered me no protection in
general, especially from the

67
00:04:02,820 –> 00:04:05,660
spiritual realm.
We could continue to hear the

68
00:04:05,660 –> 00:04:08,500
knocking and the scratching all
the time.

69
00:04:08,980 –> 00:04:12,780
Sometimes the sounds would be
moaning and my parents and I

70
00:04:12,780 –> 00:04:15,700
both could swear that we heard
someone in the other room

71
00:04:15,700 –> 00:04:18,170
talking.
My dad even called the cops a

72
00:04:18,170 –> 00:04:21,810
couple of times to go search it,
but nobody was ever there.

73
00:04:22,850 –> 00:04:27,410
We moved out shortly after that.
My dad got a new job and my mom

74
00:04:27,410 –> 00:04:32,050
and dad were eager to move out.
I never messed with Ouija boards

75
00:04:32,050 –> 00:04:34,810
after that.
Granted, I was 6 and I know this

76
00:04:34,810 –> 00:04:38,410
whole story comes from the
perspective of a sixyearold, but

77
00:04:38,410 –> 00:04:42,410
it was enough to instill that
fear inside of me my entire

78
00:04:42,410 –> 00:04:45,450
life.
There’s core memories, things

79
00:04:45,450 –> 00:04:48,740
that you just remember.
And I remember at six years old,

80
00:04:48,740 –> 00:04:53,820
my parents and myself being
terrified of something that they

81
00:04:53,820 –> 00:04:55,220
couldn’t explain to me.
