00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.800
Luke at your time, let me
cueue up the music. So the title

2
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:14.759
of this is Shadows over the House
in the Desert. When I was ten

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.679
years old, I lived in the
desert outside of Tucson, Arizonia. There,

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.839
my mother and I lived in a
house with their significant other, Rick.

5
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:30.359
I would have fun playing outside in
the sand and playing around the cacti.

6
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.079
Who's a decent place? Our closest
neighbor was a mile down the dirt,

7
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.520
dusty dirt road and no one else
around for miles. Good hike down

8
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.960
behind the house was a railroad track. Trains to go by once in a

9
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.799
blue moon, and the distant whistle
could be heard faintly from our house.

10
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:55.759
Everything is going well until Rick's mother
passed away. Once that happened, he

11
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.600
changed. He became more aggressive.
He was understanding considering the tragedy, but

12
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:07.480
kept getting worse. Each day.
He seemed to become more and more disturbed.

13
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.359
My mother was not a religious woman, but one night she felt the

14
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.840
need to pray. She prayed for
me, for herself, and for him.

15
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.680
She went to place her hand on
him as she prayed. As soon

16
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:25.400
as her hand made contact, Rick
shot up, gasping. Two light must

17
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.879
get to the dark, and he
left the bed and went to go sleep

18
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.799
on the couch. I'm almost terrified, unsure of what to do. After

19
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.400
a minute, she got out of
bed to go check on him. He

20
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.000
was dead asleep. She tried talking
to him. Rick started muttering about trains.

21
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.760
She wasn't sure what he was on
about. Then second later, the

22
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.719
distance sound of the train could be
heard. Since Rick started changing, I

23
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.799
had also been experiencing phenomena. Each
night I would go to bed, couldn't

24
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:01.439
sleep. There was something there.
It wasn't the usual shadows cast by things

25
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.080
that make monsters in a kid's mind. Now this was real. There were

26
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:15.159
a dozen shadow figures standing in my
room. Very clear black figures with distinctly

27
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.000
human shape stood around the room looking
at me. They had no features,

28
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.360
but I knew they were looking at
me. They were there every night,

29
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.560
couldn't sleep. Each night they became
clearer and less like shadows. They became

30
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:38.680
these bluish creatures with pure red eyes
and sharp teeth that jutted out of their

31
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:44.120
mouth, but still had the shape
of humans. They were always looking at

32
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.719
me, and now they had features. I could see they were smiling.

33
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.759
All this came to the head.
On my birthday, Rick and my mother

34
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.960
were in an argument. I was
told to step outside. I did so

35
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.199
I couldn't hear them. After that, I sat outside for several minutes.

36
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.919
Suddenly every fiber at my being told
me to go back into the house.

37
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.599
I ran back inside, and I
saw Rick rage to strike my mother in

38
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.599
the head. I yelled, He
stopped, brother ran to me, and

39
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.479
we ran out the door. We
got into the truck and drove off as

40
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.400
fast as we could. As we
drove away, Rick through a rock that

41
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.719
cracked the rear window. We never
returned to that house. We never saw

42
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.599
Rick again, and I have never
seen another shadow person. Yeah, that's

43
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.680
creepy. I guess a lot of
times you hear about these entities that have

44
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:46.319
that appear in stuff. Sometimes negative
energy can attract them. Some people would

45
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.960
say, right, that was my
thought process on the whole thing. That

46
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.000
seemed like what he was going through
brought something into that house. Yeah,

47
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.800
that is terrifying. Uh so that
people are sitting here. That gave me

48
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.360
various chills. People. Yeah,
yeah, me too. So people are

49
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.960
saying as they're coming along their live
I think it was interesting that they went

50
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.039
into the detail about seeing the features. Yeah, typically you don't talk about

51
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.319
shadow people and facial features. That
was something I thought was interesting too.

52
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.360
You know, he mentioned that first
they didn't and then each night, as

53
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:27.079
things got progressively worse, they became
more full featured. And I actually had

54
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:33.360
never heard of a shadow person becoming
like this, like bluish uh looking or

55
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:40.079
whatever and having these sharp teeth.
So that was a different spin off from

56
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.480
me. I thought that was interesting, and I thought, you know,

57
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:49.279
it seems like someone can be made
to be worse under these conditions too,

58
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.079
like Rick was clearly getting worse as
their influence grew. Also, it just

59
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.759
seemed like there was some short they're
feeding off each other almost kind of thing

60
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.120
makes you wonder if when he had
the tragedy happen, you said his mother

61
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.160
had passed away. Story said that. Excuse me, It makes you wonder

62
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.399
if that, like if that leaves
a person vulnerable for like that sort of

63
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.360
thing to happen to them. I
believe. So, Yeah, assuming something

64
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.839
has I don't want to overtaken.
It's like such a strong thing has got

65
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.720
somehow involved with him. I don't
know how it's the word, you know

66
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.759
what I'm saying, though, Absolutely
I do believe so. I think it

67
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:34.040
depends on the person. It depends
on how the person that you knew passed

68
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:40.000
away. I think those things all
contribute to what could happen to you.

69
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:46.079
And I do believe that certain things
will leave you more vulnerable to some sort

70
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.920
of darkness, you know, something
that you don't want to have in you.

71
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.759
It all comes down to how how
you let it affect you. Someone

72
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.399
asked, do you think they could
see them clear? Because it was getting

73
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.199
worse, like progressively worse. I
think that was making the entity become more

74
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:10.120
visible. I think it was the
whole tragedy of the situation forcing itself on

75
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:15.680
his mind that allowed him to perceive
these things. It was like stripping away

76
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.439
the barrier between one world and another. Yeah, that's terrifying. I think

77
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.079
it's It's fortunate though, that when
they got out of the situation, they

78
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.959
didn't experience it anymore. Like it's
not something that followed them, this evil

79
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.959
thing or whatever it was. Yeah, yeah, it seemed like it was

80
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:38.439
there in that house. He was
ten at the time, and I kind

81
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.839
of wonder what happened to this rick
after that, you know, they never

82
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.480
saw him again. He's ten years
old. At the time. We don't

83
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.920
know what happened with him, the
Rick guy ever again, but we do

84
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.800
know that it ended and escalated to
the point where he's chasing down the car

85
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.800
and throw a rock at it as
they were leaving his So they lived at

86
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.439
Rick's house. I him, Yeah, move with Rick, And this was

87
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.680
like the one night it all escalated
and that's when they decided to get out

88
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.040
of there. Yeah, it was
when he was already actually hit his wife.

89
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.279
What Yeah, so they never saw
him again. Yeah, probably for

90
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.720
the best, Yeah, definitely.
I just wonder what happened with the guy

91
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.959
though. Can't imagine it ended well, No, I wouldn't think so.

92
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.000
Jeff Townsend media sees you good night, and the question is do I stay

93
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:35.439
here? Will you be back?
Are you gonna come back? Will you

94
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.240
be back? Are you coming back?
