Wish I had the skills and time to edit the Annabelle trilogy and replace every shot of the stupid wooden puppet with the real life doll
I would call it the Raggedy Annabelle cut

Part 2
Tumblr media
I'm not quite sure how to start a story that has pledged my family for 3 generations, so forgive me if I seem to bounce all over the place. My part of this story begins when I was 4-5 years old. I am taken care of by my grandparents,  they live in a cute, modest home in California. This home has a beautiful pool, this pool becomes my sanctuary. To this day, I am still drawn to water. This pool is where my abilities started. I remember a man who would always visit me when I was swimming. The first time I saw him I was roughly 4 or 5. I was swimming underwater and saw legs and feet dangling in the pool like someone was sitting at the edge with their feet in the water. For some reason, this person still had their shoes on. Shiny black shoes, the kind people wear when they're getting dressed up. I don't remember talking with him that day, but I saw those shoes often.

My Ghost Experience (first story)
Back in 2006/7/8 the Harbour Inn pub (Kent uk) had a paranormal investigator and Tarot reader in for the evening doing mostly readings upstaris where the restaurant bit was.
While I was having my tarot done the investigator stopped and looked over to one of the pillers, he said there was a ghostly figure in guy fawks dress standing behind the piller and watching us.
Apparently this figure wasn't nice.
At first I couldn't see anything but then I saw a shadow of a figure on the side of the piller.
When we finished my reading, we went back down to the bar downstairs, as I was walking down the stairs I looked up and saw a face of the man, I can't remember what he looked like but he had an old hat on.
The owner at the time hated the pub because he kept seeing a lady in an old dress and whenever he worked she was randomly there.
Later in the evening the investigator and I went back upstairs and tried talking to this bad ghost man, he kept knocking on doors,
I was also told that there is was a little boy that kept following me around the pub, the investigator told him that his name was Charlie and that I reminded him of someone he knew. One point in the evening we were talking with my hands dropped over the chair when I felt a little hand grab around two of fingers.
Nowadays it's been run by someone else and often think if the new owners have had any strange happenings.
When I walk past I look up at the window and smile up to Charlie.
Sadly I couldn't find anything online about the place or the people there.

Old Green Eyes and other Lores from the Chickamauga Battlefield
(Note from our hosts: We apologize for the quality of Episode 1 of our podcast - we are new to this and have since increased in quality and decreased in awkwardness. Thank you)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Chickamauga Battlefield is located in the northern part of Georgia in a city called Fort Oglethorpe. If you ask around, locals will describe the area as "beautiful" and "serene" during the day, and I agree! During the summers - I recall looking out on the lush rolling fields, watching the tall grass sway with the wind. The sky is the brightest of blues, the sun is shining bright, but the canopy of trees keeps you tucked away from it's rays. The battlefield has some of my best memories.
The name "Chickamauga" is Cherokee in origin. The land originally belonged to a smaller branch of the Cherokee Nation known as the Chickamauga Tribe. Although there are many variations of the word Chickamauga - some historians believe that is comes from the word "Chicamaco" meaning "dwelling place by the water" - water, referring to the Chickamauga Creek (two short tributaries of the Tennessee River that run north and south) . However, many believe that the word actually means "River of Death". (Which is honestly very accurate as you will soon find out)
With the amount of people that come to battlefield to sight see (or you know - catch pokemon because every grave stone/ monument is a pokestop) It's hard to believe that this is (basically) a large graveyard that once was covered in the blood and corpses of soldiers. Evidence of a battle that is deep rooted in the history of the south. On September 20th 1863 - the last cannonballs were shot. The Confederacy had won after three hard days of hell on Earth. It was considered the first major win for the confederacy but it came at a cost - The Confederacy had 18,454 casualties while the Union had 16,170 casualties.
Note: Casualties = killed, wounded, missing, or captured
The Battle of Chickamauga was considered the second bloodiest battle of the Civil War (for the number of casualties) right after The Battle of Gettysburg.
So yeah the battlefield is hella haunted, and if you were to ask anyone from the area if they had any stories - most of them will.
My dad for instance - told me that there was a time in his life where he had to drive through the battlefield at around 4-5am every morning in order to get to work. Now, my dad doesn't scare easily at all, nor is he one to make up stories. According to him, shadows can be seen walking or dashing across the road, even if you have your high lights on.
Remember how I said earlier that there was a a canopy of trees there? Well because of that - it is pitch black at night and I have definitely been spooked a couple of times driving through (okay - it's not hard to spook me. Jump scares, no matter what it is, will always get me).
Another incident that had happened within my family was when my niece was about two or three years old. My sister in law and her mother decided to take her for a stroll in the battlefield. It was a beautiful day and they wanted to get some fresh air. This would be my niece's first time going to the battlefield as my sister in law and brother had just moved back home from being stationed in North Carolina. As they strolled past one of the open fields my niece began to giggle. This was odd to my sister in law as my niece was asleep in the stroller with a pacifier in her mouth just a few minutes prior. She brushed it off only for her to giggle again a few minutes later. She asked her what she was laughing at and the toddler's response was "Mommy. Look at all those silly people. They're so silly. They're all falling down." She lifted up her arm and pointed her her little finger out to the empty field. My sister and her mother high tailed it out of there. There was no way for a toddler to know or even understand what went on there, not to mention there had been no talk of the battlefield prior to this event. Could it be that she was watching a ghostly replay of civil war soldiers dying on the battlefield?
There are also other known beings in the battlefield other than shadows and apparitions:
Old Green Eyes The Lady In White The Headless Horseman Bodies in the Bloody Pond Another note to add is that the Civil War was not the only occurrence of death in the area:
So, does Chickamauga earn the name "River of Death"? Are these beings actually out there or is a whole city of people just seeing things? Find out more by listening to Mysteries At The Coffee Shop on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more!

I work in a very old building, doing visit supervision. It’s dark outside. It’s always dark this time of year.
When the kids first came in there was this weird growling noise that sounded like it was coming from the other room. The kids both looked up. “The people in the other room are loud,” one of them said.
I nodded. I didn’t dare tell them that there’s no one else here. They’re kids, and they have enough problems.
The mom got here and I almost forgot about the weird noise…maybe it was just something going on with the pipes. Or whatever. Then the little girl (6yo) went to the bathroom. She immediately came running back out. “There’s a hairy wombus in there,” she said.
Idfk what a hairy wombus is but I am not looking forward to cleaning up after everyone leaves.
