1
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:06.599
Which is what we'll get into that a little bit

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.480
more right now at the next part. After she had

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.480
herself back under control, we asked her to explain what

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.280
had happened. She was quiet for a few moments, gathering

5
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.079
her thoughts. Then she began to speak. As we listened

6
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.160
to her story, my body temperature seemed to gradually drop,

7
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.239
and I felt chills take over me. Several times I

8
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.960
made eye contact with Jerry, and his expression was a

9
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.119
mirror of my own disbelief and fear. It started about

10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.560
a month ago, she began. That's when I first heard

11
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:41.479
the scratching and my closet door, A soft, slow, steady scratching.

12
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.159
This seemed to come from inside her bedroom closet at night.

13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.159
At first, she had assumed it was probably a mouse

14
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.560
or something like another small animal, except the scratching seemed

15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.320
to come from too high of a height to be

16
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.880
the working of a mouse or an animal. Whenever she

17
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.679
opened the closet door, always after the scratching had stopped,

18
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.519
there had been nothing there. Several times she had started

19
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.760
to open the closet door as the scratching was in

20
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.599
progress to get to the bottom of it once and

21
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.159
for all, but each time she grasped the doorknob, and

22
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.319
she was overwhelmed with unease and fear, and she was

23
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.439
not able to do it. The scratching sounded too deliberate,

24
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.719
too gentle, deceptionally harmless, as if something was trying to

25
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.640
lure her into opening that closet door. To be safe,

26
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.879
she had started locking her closet door at night. Over

27
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.120
the next several days, the scratching had gotten louder and

28
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.560
more intense, as if something was trying to tunnel its

29
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.079
way through the wood. One day, she opened the closet

30
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.879
door and found claw marks on the other side, claw

31
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.840
marks that were six feet off the ground, claw marks

32
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.439
that looked like they had been made by fingernails. The

33
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.480
horror had really started for Miscarrity about a week after

34
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.519
she had first heard the scratching sounds. One night, she

35
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.200
had awoken to a voice softly calling her name, a

36
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.760
voice that seemed to be coming from the locked closet door.

37
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.639
She was bewildered, even more so because she recognized this voice.

38
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.319
It belonged to Bill, her dead husband. Bill's voice had

39
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.039
pleaded for her to open the closet door, telling her

40
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.400
that God had sent him down to take her up

41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.800
to heaven where they could be together again and young

42
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.080
like they used to be forever. At this point, Jerry

43
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.000
had looked at me wide eyed from the other side

44
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.400
of the couch. Then what happened? I asked her gently.

45
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.280
I thought I was dreaming, Miss Garretty said, I thought

46
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.800
it had been a dream. Poor Bill had been gone

47
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.639
for three years, and since I was having a dream,

48
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.159
I didn't see a harm in doing what he was

49
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.520
asking me to do. I got out of bed and

50
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.080
went to the closet. I reached for the lock, but

51
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:55.719
then I stopped something. Something didn't seem right. It was

52
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.520
Bill's voice, and it seemed perfectly normal, but somehow it

53
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.599
was wrong too. The way he was talking, it wasn't

54
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.159
like how Bill used to talk. It was like a

55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.960
stranger was using Bill's voice trying to trick me into

56
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.360
opening the closet door. That doesn't make much sense, does it.

57
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.560
Actually nothing she was telling us made sense, but we

58
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.280
just asked her to continue telling her story. Bill or

59
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.000
whoever or whatever was using his voice had continued to

60
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.039
beg her to unlock the closet door, which she had

61
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.680
refused to unlock the closet door. The voice had changed

62
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.479
becoming harsh and angry. It was very angry and demanding

63
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.120
that she opened the door. When she had still refused,

64
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.639
it began to shout at her, using profanity and making

65
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.840
obscene threats. Thanks, Bill would never do things. Bill would

66
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.400
have never said when he was alive. Before beginning to

67
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.919
pound violently on the door, the voice had began to change.

68
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.280
No longer sounding like her late husband's, it became deeper

69
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.199
and disorted until it didn't sound human at all. In terror,

70
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.520
she had fled her room and spent the night on

71
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.000
the couch downstairs. Eventually the pounding and the threats had stopped,

72
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.520
Miss Garretty. Jerry politely interrupted her at this point. Why

73
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.520
didn't you call us at the police station when this happened?

74
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.840
She was silent for a moment, then a small bitter

75
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.120
smile formed on her lips. I thought you'd think I

76
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.879
was imagining it, she told us. I know people in

77
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.959
town think I'm the crazy old lady, and I've had

78
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.279
you out here so many times before for things that

79
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.680
turned out to be nothing. I thought maybe it was

80
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.720
all in my head and I didn't want to bother

81
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:33.360
you about it.

82
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.519
Well, this story really goes from zero to sixty Like

83
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:38.399
that isn't that.

84
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.319
Business has just picked up. I guess you could say so.

85
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.000
So Freakchie definitely thinks she is experiencing something completely crazy.

86
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:48.519
Yeah, definitely.

87
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.120
So we get a little bit more, we get a

88
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.600
little bit more information about this closet now, right like

89
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.600
talked about how the closet doors were boarded up, so

90
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.079
now we know that it all began in her bedroom

91
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.439
closet door where she started hearing scratching sounds.

92
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.000
Yeah, that's really crazy.

93
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.360
It's gentle though, right, like, not like violently scratching, just

94
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.079
like almost like you're just trying to get somebody's attention.

95
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.639
Yeah, that's what it seems like, almost like you know,

96
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.040
just a light scratching to track someone through the door.

97
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.839
Progressively did get a little bit more, like she said

98
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.959
it was almost like they're trying to tunnel through the door.

99
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.240
Yeah, she opened the door and actually saw the claw

100
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.040
marks that they were like six feet off the ground.

101
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.399
Yeah, that's raasy.

102
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.040
Which is pretty tall for a person even though, but

103
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.279
nevertheless that rules out an animal.

104
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.000
Yeah, definitely, And it just seems so creepy. And then

105
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.439
then the voice though that that's when the creep factor

106
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.800
really cranks.

107
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.319
Up before that though, Before we get into that, though,

108
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.800
several times she went up to the door and she

109
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.360
was going to open it. Why that scratching was happening.

110
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.199
Would you be able to do that? Like eventually, right

111
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:56.720
you'd be like, I'm sick of this shit. I got

112
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.480
to open this door.

113
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.439
Yeah, you know. It's one of those things things that

114
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.399
like there are times where it happens to almost everyone

115
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.759
where you're just like, if I turn around right now,

116
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.519
there's going to be someone behind me, right, that kind

117
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.879
of feeling, Yeah, you just and so you decide not

118
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.120
to turn around sometimes just because it's like I can't

119
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.800
do it. I can't turn around and see this thing

120
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.759
behind me. Or it's like, yeah, the corner of your eye,

121
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.279
you see something that might be there, and so you

122
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.920
don't look at directly because you don't want it to

123
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.160
know that you're looking at it. And I get that.

124
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.160
I think that's the feeling that she got when she's

125
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.680
gone up to this door. It's like everything seems like

126
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.680
you need to confront it, but at the same time,

127
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.040
it's like, do you really want to open that door?

128
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.959
Do you really want to look at the corner of

129
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.360
your eye? Do you really want to turn around. Those

130
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.920
are things that a lot of people deal with a

131
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.639
lot of times, and you never know what it is.

132
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.120
She's really trying to ignore it.

133
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.360
It seems like like.

134
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.120
If ignore it me, it'll go away, right.

135
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.720
Yeah, Or maybe it's just like in your head, it's

136
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.560
not really there.

137
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.639
So then you talked about it. The voice is she

138
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.439
started hearing voices, her husband's voice asking her to come

139
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.879
to the closet door to open it, basically like we'll

140
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.399
go to heaven together and be together forever. But the

141
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.839
way he was speaking it may have sounded like her

142
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.720
husband as far as like the voice itself, but the

143
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.480
way it was actually talking, he wasn't phrasing or saying

144
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.680
things like her husband would her late dead husband.

145
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.439
Right, yeah, And that actually makes a lot of sense

146
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.120
because you know someone they have a specific way of

147
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.639
talking that goes beyond their voice pattern and everything. Yeah,

148
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.519
you know, the cadence of which they talk. So it

149
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.199
makes sense that things would seem right at first, but

150
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.040
then it's it's like, well they would have a light

151
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.000
a little bit more, a pause there or something like that.

152
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.120
You know, she's ignoring it. This thing's get pissed off

153
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.759
about it. It gets to the point where its voice

154
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.519
no sounds like Bill's her dead husbands the way I

155
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.160
read it. When I was reading it, I was thinking,

156
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.319
like demonic sounding.

157
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:10.160
Yeah, definitely seems like it. It says, nor sounds human like.

158
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.480
And it also has like it's been saying some really

159
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.279
terrible things to her, Yeah, which you know is terrifying. Well,

160
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.199
the less terrified I think it's ever Yeah, I this

161
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.959
sounds this is a crazy story.

162
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.480
But again, though, she moves downstairs and they asked a

163
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.279
million dollar questions, why didn't you call us?

164
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:29.519
Right?

165
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.720
And you could tell that she's still contemplating if this

166
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.840
is like real or not. Almost. First of all, she

167
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.480
doesn't want to bother them. She knows everybody thinks she's

168
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.559
a crazy lady. But she's starting to think herself, wait,

169
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:42.879
am I going crazy?

170
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.000
Right? And that's kind of like why she maybe didn't

171
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.919
open the door, because it's like, is she going to

172
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.559
have to admit that she's crazy when she opens that door?

173
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:55.399
There's nothing there? Or is it? There is something there?

174
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.279
And you definitely don't want to open that door.

175
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.000
Him and his fellow officer definitely thinks she's completely lost

176
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.080
her mind at this point, though, definitely.

177
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.279
Yeah, but they're also there being very courteous about They're

178
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.600
very very professional. They're trying to, yeah, still settle her

179
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.360
down and get to the bottom of what led up

180
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.039
to whether she finally did call.

181
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.600
She seems just relief that they're there, you know.

182
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:21.960
Yeah, and you can imagine that, Yeah, anyone wants to

183
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.120
see someone after a while, so yeah, it makes sense

184
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.159
that she would be very really regardless of anything was happening,

185
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.320
but the fact that something might be happening, Yeah, if

186
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:32.759
I want to see someone else.

187
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.080
Yeah for sure.

188
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.279
