00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.000
Okay, so this story comes from
Go for the Internet and my name is

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:15.359
Zobofin. That's what they go by
anyways, and the title of the story

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.800
is I grew up in a haunted, demonic house has been abandoned since been

4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:28.079
moved out. I don't often talk
about it because it's scarred. Just talking

5
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.759
about it freaks me out, but
here we go. It was about nine

6
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.600
years old I'm twenty seven now for
a reference, and my parents decided to

7
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.719
move out to a small out of
their small apartments ran a house and Brisbane,

8
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.079
Australia. We couldn't afford much,
so it was cheap and a very

9
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.000
old looking house. And nothing's so
bad that my dad couldn't fix it up,

10
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.159
but at least that's what he thought. Keep in mind the honor the

11
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.520
property lived in another area, pretty
far away, so it was hard to

12
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:08.000
get into contact with him. Once
we moved in, there was some strange

13
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.319
thing that caught our attention. There
was a big, gross and tanky looking

14
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.359
rug in the kitchen with weird brownish
red blotches looked like old bloodstains. So

15
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.519
we thought this has got to go. We rolled it up and chucked it

16
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:30.280
out. The property had a big
backyard with acreage of land. There were

17
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.400
a lot of trees. On these
trees, at least many of them,

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:42.319
there were some for some reason horseshoes
nailed to them. Horseshoes nailed on trees

19
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:49.040
all over the property. One horseshoe
was even nailed to the wall inside the

20
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:56.920
kitchen. Again, we thought,
no, this is weird and creepy.

21
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.719
It wasn't until years later that I
looked into and found out that apparently hanging

22
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.280
horseshoes was meant for good luck.
They were supposed to get rid of negative

23
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.680
energy. But we didn't realize this
at the time, and after taking them

24
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:14.400
down, we went through many years
of bad luck while living in this house.

25
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.840
At first, apart from the house
looking creepy and old, there were

26
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.240
no physical signs of anything paranormal.
But as a kid I loved playing outdoors.

27
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.199
I would have the backyard with lots
of land. This was pretty fantastic

28
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.840
at first. Soon enough, being
a kid that plays in the dirt,

29
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:44.039
I started to find things under the
dirt. I found clothing buried in random

30
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.639
parts of the property. In mine. Mom would occasionally see little bits of

31
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.000
claws sticking out of the ground too. Being curious. We would dig them

32
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:58.199
out, and it was always clothing
of women or children, sometimes even the

33
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:05.520
odd shoe year there. My parents
didn't seem to care too much, and

34
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.680
my dad was a skeptic. They
always had some excuse for why stuff was

35
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.280
there. They'd tell me not to
worry about it and change the subject.

36
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.520
The house was kind of lifted off
from the ground, so I could go

37
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.120
under the house and play. One
day I found a bone buried up there.

38
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.639
This is when my mom realized this
was just too many coincidences and told

39
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.560
my dad. She wanted to report
to the police, but my dad just

40
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.439
said something like that, don't waste
your time. It's most likely old cattle

41
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:43.520
bones. So we listened to my
dad. Soon enough, the paranormal stuff

42
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.840
started winning. My dad always worked
at nights, leaving me and Mom in

43
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.240
the house alone. In the living
room. We had one computer. We

44
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.280
had dial up internet back then,
and it was referred to as the family

45
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.199
I would usually stand behind my mom
while she was using Competer and I would

46
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.560
just watch. Well I watched it
felt and grabbed me on the shoulder from

47
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.840
behind. I turned around, thinking
it was my dad, all murtherer from

48
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.319
work, but there was no one
there. Another night, I was in

49
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.399
my bedroom. It was the middle
of the night and I was asleep,

50
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.439
but I was woken by the sound
of a toy from my shelf. And

51
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.040
I had a ferbie, a little
toy because since someone was in front of

52
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.879
it and start talking, I heard
it activate and it started rambling nonsense.

53
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.839
If you ever had one, you
know what I'm talking about. However,

54
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.160
my bed was nowhere near the shelf
and never activated on it some before,

55
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.360
and the rambling just kept continuing so
much a I couldn't go back to sleep,

56
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.959
so I wanted to go turn it
off. I walked over to the

57
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.920
ferby and pick it up. It
had stopped, and I checked the switch

58
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:03.000
on the bottom it was already set
to awe. Eventually I started having nightmares,

59
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.879
the same nightmare every single night.
It was always so vivid and real.

60
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.560
The dream was of me tied up
with rope on an old bed with

61
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.959
springs and no mattress. It was
my bedroom, though the room was differently,

62
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:25.519
no light bulbs or electricity, a
single bedside table with this like old

63
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.759
timey candle on a plate that almost
seemed like from a different time period.

64
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.399
I would try to yank free from
the ropes, kicking and trying to get

65
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.439
out. I would wake up at
a sweat, have three red marks in

66
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.000
my stomachs, almost like three scratchmoms. No, I've looked into this.

67
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:54.639
Scratch marks often mean demonic possession.
It was mentally exhausting. I couldn't handle

68
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.319
being in my room anymore. I
would maybe around ten years old at this

69
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.279
point, and I was too scared
to talk about my parents. I didn't

70
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.000
tell them exactly what was going on. I just kept insisting on sleeping in

71
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:10.120
their room. I don't have any
memory of this, but my parents have

72
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.079
since told me When I did this, I would often sit up in the

73
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.240
middle of the night, point at
the window and start screaming, saying things

74
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.040
like don't let them in and shut
the windows. Windows were already closed,

75
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.160
but my mom wou could get freaked
out about this. Dad would say something

76
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.920
like he's just having a bad dream. Go back to sleep. Over time,

77
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:36.439
my mom would start hearing walking on
the floorboards in the middle of the

78
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:42.639
night. Well Dad was at work, but nobody was in the house.

79
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.879
The ceiling fan would turn on by
itself, even when the switch on the

80
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:53.560
wall was off. Strange things like
this have happened. Eventually, things began

81
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.519
to wrap up and the bad luck
turned into a living nightmare. Our family

82
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.439
started. My baby brother was born, and after some time he was starting

83
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.079
to walk. It was a great
memory, but it quickly he was ruined.

84
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.879
Shortly after learning to walk, out
of nowhere, he was bedridden.

85
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.920
He wouldn't sleep, He suddenly couldn't
walk anymore, and he wouldn't eat.

86
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.720
He had to be taken to the
hospital, and the doctors weren't sure what

87
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.839
was wrong with them. They did
tests, and one doctor even suggested he

88
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.240
was faking it. They did X
rays and couldn't find anything wrong. I

89
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.720
think my parents weren't satisfied with that
answer. How or why would a little

90
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.199
child fake something like whatever was wrong? We took him to another doctor and

91
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.959
they found a rare cyst on a
spine. They had never seen it before,

92
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.519
only heard about it in textbooks,
and it was close to bursting could

93
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.720
have paralyzed him for life. After
months of being in the hospital, we

94
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.639
were finally getting back to a normal
life, as normal as you can have

95
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.639
in a house with these strange events. We decided to install a chicken coop

96
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.160
raised some chickens with size of our
backyard. It felt like a good use

97
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.959
for it. However, it seems
this house out other plans. We always

98
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.720
locked up the coop before night,
but we woke up one morning to see

99
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.160
the door wide open. All the
chickens were gone. We had ten of

100
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.839
them. We found them shortly after
discovering the door was open, at least

101
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.680
part of them. All the chickens
had their heads hacked off. No bodies

102
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.759
found, just the heads, all
laid out neatly in a straight line in

103
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.639
our yard. That seemed to have
been the final strawl. My dad was

104
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.720
the one to call the police.
No sucks best were found, and despite

105
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.159
struggling for money, we finally moved
out of that house. The nightmares have

106
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.240
stopped. It's been over ten years
since we moved out, and the house

107
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.000
was never rented out again. It
has begun to decay and weeds are taken

108
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:03.559
over most of the property and haunted
house investigations over the years, but that's

109
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:11.919
one place I'm never going back.
I did find one update to this post.

110
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:20.159
It says I've shared the story before
and there's as a result, apparently

111
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.679
some kind of investigation was open revolving
around the house. I was visited by

112
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:31.240
police officers asking questions. They told
me they'd contact me if they got anything

113
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.000
new. The only thing I learned
was that before we rented it, we

114
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.360
had been rented out to a biker
gang. That is crazy. Well,

115
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.919
that is really crazy. Why didn't
they just hanged that horseshoe back up?

116
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.000
And I don't know, I guess, he said, I guess. Apparently

117
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.080
he didn't learn that until after they
like they thought about it later, like

118
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.440
we were maybe those horseshoes. And
when they started mentioning the horseshoes, I

119
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.919
was like, hmm, you probably
shouldn't take those down. I was step

120
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.759
he put up for some sort of
protection. Ward by somebody captures hindsight on

121
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.960
South Park is what gave into my
mind. And you set all that,

122
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.240
Oh man, that's terrifying. Yeah. And so there's actually a couple of

123
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.720
different, you know, beliefs about
the horseshoes. Some said to have them

124
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.879
kind of like turned up, and
some of them have turned down. Both

125
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.720
of them involves containing luck of some
kind of good luck, and if it's

126
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.440
facing down, the good look will
pour down and act as a like a

127
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.279
barrier. So some people say to
put them up during certain times of the

128
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.039
year and then turn them down and
put them on your front door or any

129
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.279
entrance to your house. So there's
a couple of different you know, beliefs

130
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:43.360
around positions of the horseshoes. He
was having very vivid dreams, yes,

131
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.720
as kind of like almost the start
of things, and it seemed to obviously

132
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.960
obviously it escalated I think to the
point of where what happened with this younger

133
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.360
sibling correct, Yeah, for sure, And you know, the the dreams,

134
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.279
uh, you know, he describes
them very, very particularly and uh,

135
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.240
it definitely seems like, you know, if if there was some kind

136
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.200
of like negative energy involved a bouse, it was definitely you know, seeping

137
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.240
over into his dreams for sure.
Kind of hear that that happens a lot

138
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.960
of times with people. But I
think that, like I just said,

139
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.519
the real thing, crazy thing was
really I don't remember how old his younger

140
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.519
sibling was, but sounds like developmentally
he just completely stopped and actually like he

141
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.759
couldn't walk anymore. That's just yeah, terrifying. Yeah, So it seems

142
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.639
like because he mentions that, uh, he had left the house over ten

143
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.960
years ago, so it seems like
they were there for many years. I

144
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.120
was say, probably like five years
or so, so yeah, it's hard

145
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.039
to say how old is his younger
brother was. Yeah, that was crazy.

146
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.679
It was soon as we're talking about
the close too. I was just

147
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.879
like, man, why didn't you
call it cops? Then? That's it

148
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.759
sounds like something bad happened there,
and you want to make sure that the

149
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:54.080
data that you ran. Yeah,
definitely wanted you wanted to know what was

150
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.840
going on. He wanted to know
more. You know, he's kind of

151
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.159
like even it. I don't remember
his age then, but he was investigating,

152
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.879
right, He's like digging under his
house. Uh yeah, I mean

153
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.039
I assume for a reason. So
obviously had an inkling it. And I

154
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.519
want to say a knack for this
because it was kind of forced upon him.

155
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.440
But it seems like he was completely
aware and trying to get to the

156
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.360
bottom of it a little bit,
even though later, you know, war

157
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.440
came to him obviously. Yeah,
it definitely seemed that way. Uh.

158
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.759
He also you know, started doing
like you mentioned there at the end that

159
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:28.039
he was started doing like haunted house
investigations. So I imagine he's probably pretty

160
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.399
you know, almost obsessed with some
degree with the with the whole thing.

161
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.000
After having personal experiences like that,
you'd have to be and to do something

162
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.799
like that. It's just evidently fear
is not a factor for you, Rob.

163
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.200
Yeah. I mean I mean to
me, I have all that crazy

164
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.240
stuff happened to you and then still
pursue it. He may have been still

165
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.879
afraid, but he wanted answers nevertheless. Oh yeah, definitely that's crazy.

166
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:03.960
Look I found this bone down there. What it was? Jeff Townsend media

167
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.399
sees you good night, and the
question is do I stay here? Will

168
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.720
you be back? Are you gonna
come back? Will you be back?

169
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.679
Are you coming back
