Buried in the Backyard (Part 2)

This is the second part to our previous episode, Buried in the Backyard. In it, Lil's tells us about her mom's bizarre experience as a victim of practices suspected to be black magic. In our first recording, sections of our audio were missing and others were warped. So today we are trying again and again our call got a rough start. My name is Edwin, and here is Lil's true scary story. All right, here we go. Can you hear me? I felt so weird when I was reading those emails and when I told my mom, hey, and there was a lot of issues, and I started leading to the email and she looked at me and chuckled and goes, They've never I've never been able to say my story. They don't want me to you they can hear you. And I was like, oh my god. And then when I told her, I was like, Okay, we're gonna re redo the second part because we talked for an hour and a half. Right, my mom goes, oh, you're doing this on a Monday, which is a day that I guess who's ever doing that magic to my mom? In Mexico, That's the day they work. It is on a Monday is when they do it to her and when she gets sick and stuff like that. This is real stuff that I actually lived and dealt with. It was my mom and her friend, but it was also like everyone and her family. They decided to make a Wiji board, get a piece of wood, carve the letters, do the moon, the stars, the numbers and everything, and get another piece of wood and just use that. When my mom told me the story, and she told me that it was her only one of my aunts, because one of the other ants it was a chicken, and then a couple of their friends, and then all my uncles, and that was five of them. All five of them. The people that asked the questions in a sense embarrass whatever end they had brought in because she said capaint doors were opening and closing. They said they heard the front door close, and it's not just like a front wooden door, like the doors in Mexico are long in their metal, and it takes a second for it to open and shut, like you just can't do it off the whim to close. But that night and from then on for a month, three of their friends ended up passing away from playing the Ouiji board. My mom and my grandma. They burnt the Ouiji board in the fireplace, and then Mexico is just like this massive, beautiful break fireplace that they had woke up in the morning. It should be gone, right, It's a piece of wood. It's a piece of wood, fine prestige. Nothing happened to it. They went and they threw it in Tambo the Vasuda like down and then sent through it like in a big barrel, like a big garbage barrel, down in like the center of their little town. And where did it show up the next day was right in the front doorstep. I don't know how my grandpa actually ended up getting rid of it. My mom says that she thinks that he threw it in the ocean to get rid of it, because that's what they told him to do. But my mom said that losing her best friend was the hardest thing. Afterwards, she overdosed, and my mom says that she thinks that she did so much because she would tell her that she felt like she was being haunted by whatever was from the Luigi word. So she thinks that one day and she just did too much and she ended up passing away. My mom so randomly talks about her here in there, things come up, or if she smells a lot of lilac or lavender, because that was her favorite sent My mom knows that that's her friends around And it's weird because when you smell it, it's a very pungent smell when you like smell it around the house. I've never played it and I don't think I ever will. I think the day was, I want to say January, January thirteenth. I had a long day, decided to go upstairs take a bath, relax after a long day. I grabbed one of my lavender bath bombs. Thew it in there and I didn't think there was enough bubbles and enough smelled the lavender. For Christmas, I had gotten my mom a bath bomb set and it was universe. I had stars, moons, like little circles for galaxies, whatever, and they were all different smells, and I knew she wouldn't mind. So I went into her room open one and found a moon and it was a lavender and I was like perfect, broken in half, looked at it, wrapped it, put it on the counter, in pat it on the bath, got in and I was in there for maybe fifteen twenty minutes. I can't really stand there for too long. And I got up and I started rinsing off. It's a habit to rense off when I get out of the shower, and I grabbed the shower head and I start washing off the bubbles. And I looked to the back. When I turned around, and before the water can like even hit anything, I see black little dots everywhere and went everywhere, all in the back where I had just been relaxing, laying back, and I'm not, Oh my god, I'm like itching. If my hair wasn't up in a really high bun, I don't know how I wouldn't have cut my hair super super short, like butchy short because I freaked out. I thought it was fuzzies from your stalk anything like. I didn't think of it dirt from the window because we have redwoods and maybe the window was open before. But I made the bath. I saw it was clean before. Why would I get into a jerky bath? Come on, I didn't roll around in dirt before I got in either, so what was happening. I grab a piece of toilet paper, I swipe the back of the bathtub and I see little tiny bugs and some of them start to move and I lose it. I drop it in I scream bloody murder, to the point where my boyfriend runs upstairs and he's like, knocking on doors, are you okay? I didn't open the door for him, because one, he's a complete skeptic. It takes a lot for him to be like what and actually, all right, this is weird. This isn't explained. So I told him to just get my mom. To go get my mom. And at this point I'm in tears because what is happening? Goes guess my mom. She comes in and she's what is wrong with you? Because I'm standing there naked, crying, freaking out, like not being able to process words, trying to show her she's telling me I'm crazy. She looks and she gives me a weird look and she grabs a piece of toilet paper and then she wipes the back part and she looks at me and she goes, what is this? And I said it came from the bath bomb? And then I look at the bath bomb and I see little tiny black dots. Why would I throw in a bath bomb that had little black dots without really investigating it? Right? I had broken it. I had wrapped it and I put it on the counter and that's when I put it underneath the sinc and churned on the water and all these bugs started coming out. Oh my god, I'm itching right now. I lost it. I couldn't stop crying. I didn't understand. I like shook my hair out and my mom, there's nothing in your hair, and I would throw a grab a co help me come it out, like in tears, freaking out, and we grab the bath bombs and we throw them all in the water and all of them are fine. That was just the one. And my mom goes, what day is it today? And I said it's Tuesday. I said why, and she goes, oh my god, your dad's been in Mexico all day on Monday. And I said what and she goes, yeah, did your dad just go to Mexico? And I was like, oh my god, and he did. He left really early Monday morning. We get there and he was there all day already. So you probably saw whoever he's dating, and she probably did something per usual to my mom. And that bath bomb wasn't meant for me. It was meant for my mom to take a bath in images of the bath bomb and other evidence that Lil's has been collecting will be added to the page for this episode.

I think that's been one of the most like not like something to happen to me me, like ever, Yeah, I've experienced stuff like at the ranch and stuff, but this new place, it was chilling. We were chilling for a long time, nothing was happening, and then that happened. And then last month as well, on the twenty fifth. And I know this state because it's included in my head. And this is baffling. It's absolutely terrifying, and I still can't explain it. And if someone out there can, please message Edwin and let me know because I don't understand. So it was on a Saturday, and me and my boyfriend were about to eat lunch downstairs, and let me backtrack fift twenty minutes before that, I was getting lunch together and my mom walks downstairs and she looks at me and goes, there's a man in my room. And I look at her and I go what. She goes, there's some male presence in my room. And I say, is it bad or good? And she's like, I don't know, and she starts twiddling her cigarette in between her fingers and walks outside to go smoke. And I'm like, okay, I go, I sit down, We me and my boy fingers start watching. So she goes upstairs to her bedroom and not even five minutes later, she's screamed Jana and Meno and I'm like, oh my god, and like screams and that's my real name. She only calls me that when she needs to get my attention. It's an emergency here. I'm in trouble. So it's like, what happened and for her to scream to come and I'll check on Emilio. I freak out what happened to my cat? A note so everyone can grasp this now. Emilio is a black and white tuxedo cat. He's white on the pond and in the front of the face minus is a little heart nose and a little bit of black in the front but very little black. This detail is important. So I run upstairs and I run into her room and she's like, did you cut yourself? And I'm like what, No, I didn't cut myself. She's like, did you cut yourself, like screaming at me. At this point, I said no, I go I haven't been in her room. And on the window sill, so when you if you run up the stairs, the bathroom is straight ahead, and to the left is my mom's room if you're a little to the left is the washer dryer, and then on the back is my room. So I go into her room and to the right is a big beautiful window that you can out see the redwoods that are right there in the backyard. So the cats like to sit there right to check everything out, the birds and stuff. Right there on the windowsill is blood, not a little bit of blood, but like if you like if you were looking out the window and you got a bloody nose right like on the windowsill, and it's like dripping down at this point to the back and going onto the carpet. And she said, did you cut yourself? I say no. I was like, did you cut yourself? I was like, you were you've been up here the entire time. Did you cut yourself? She said no, She goes, I didn't all cut myself. I did not cut myself. I'm like, oh my god, okay, and I'm like, oh my god, Emilio. So I go, I grab Amilia, who is on my windowsill, and I check him. Nothing. There's no blood marks on him. And I inspected him so intensely, like he hated me for a day, trying to make sure he had no cuts, no incisions, like anything that was wrong with him, anything that was wrong with him. Nothing, And my mom's are you sure? Are you sure? So I give her Amelia and then I run downstairs to check on Teddy, who's a tabby. He's ten pounds and he's like a dog. He pretends he's a dog. And he was downstairs the entire time with us. But at this point, where did the blood come from? Where where did it come from? And my boyfriend's like, what's wrong with you? And I told him and he said, oh, one of the cats probably killed something and ate it. Okay, I guess that would make sense if one my cats were indoor outdoor. They're not, they go outdoor unless they're all nashes. And we walk them like dogs. Okay, that's a thing. So there's no way they could have caught anything. The most they've ever brought in from the backyard in are those big potato bugs. But that's it. That's the most. And let's say they did catch something and he decided to eat it. Why wouldn't Amelia be full of blood and all his white parts, especially his face. Right, there's no way he could have cleaned himself that fast. There's no way. There's no way. So I checked Teddy. There's nothing wrong with them, nothing wrong with Emilio. I go upstairs. My mom at this point, is cleaning off the windowsill, and I asked her, are you sure you didn't cut yourself like Blady knows? She said no, Like where did this blood come from? We start looking on the ground for blood trails, right, like, that much blood and someone cutting themselves, there has to be more. There is nothing until I start looking in my bedroom. No, on the ground, going like towards if I was walking downstairs, I see nothing. And then if I'm like, okay, I'm gonna hit all the steps. So I start going step by step. First step, I look to the right, and there's one drop of blood. Second step another drop of blood, but smaller, and the third step going down was like another trail and almost like a little smear in front, like at the tip of the rim of the staircase. And nothing for the rest of the steps, nothing, absolutely nothing. So I start walking up the steps, and once I get to that first step, when you're stepping down the back part of it before you get to the upstairs, that part is white. On the steps. At my house there was like a splatter of blood. Hello, random, so random, And I start telling my mom and she goes, she goes, come and look at this, Come and look at this. At the window to the right is a little piece of like wall. The wall comes outward to do a little bit like of a divot thing to the right of that wall is just like a splatter of blood. So it's almost like if someone had a wet paintbrush with not a lot of paint and pulled it back for those little tiny dots of splattering you just right there, splattered and that was it. But my mom had a little like a little tiny counter thingy, like a little tiny dust thingy on the side, and she had her clothes in she had her books there, A lot of herself was right there, and none of it had blood on it, not the dusk cut, nothing else had blood on it. But there those locations that I just said, my cats are fine, I'm fine, my mom's sign, my boyfriend's sign. But I have no idea where that blood came from at all. I heard those stories before, but in haunted demonic situations. I just heard on a different podcast someone wrote in their story about like blood appearing on the walls, and I had to stop it because that doesn't happen. That's movie stuff that happens in a movie. Like I don't want to live this. I don't want to deal with this. I don't want to be this puzzled. My mom said that she wanted she's we have to do something to protect the cats, and which is true because a lot of the times are animals. It doesn't matter what animal you have, they consume a lot of energy and they can get sick from it, and they can end up passing away because of it. My mom mentioned something the other day, she's, I wonder if you're if Keiko my dog would ad for like seventeen years, which I mean that was a long time too. But he was perfectly healthy. MoMA says, I wonder if everything at that ranch finally took a toll on him. And then here her cat, she's but passed away last year. I hope that's not the case, but I was really worried. Went over to my dad's house and it made a really weird cam and it stuck with me, and he said, out of the blue, mind you. He was like, oh, are all the cat's still alive? And I was like what, and he said yeah, I don't know. And I was like, why would you say that, and he's, oh, I'm just asking and I said yeah, and he goes, oh, even the fat one, which is Geezpaine. And I looked at him alow weird and I said yeah, because I'm not going to tell him no, you know what I mean that she passed and I left his house a little bit after that. And since everything's been happening, I've like distanced myself because it's like he may not me personally doing it, but if it's doing it, then like someone needs to tell her to stop. And I just haven't gotten to the point where I have to pass that boundary with him yet. I went straight to the Healing Center, which is a crystal shop here where my mom daughter reiki done and they do a lot of like spiritual crystal healings and stuff like that there. And I walk in and it's this lady who helped my mom and did the reiki with her, and I'm catching up with her and I told her the comment my dad made, and she looked at me weird, And I said, do you have anything for protection for cats or anything I can do? And they have every type of animal in different crystal forms, every animal you can think of, and they had no cats in front of the store. And they said, okay, let me check the bag to see if we got any enshipment. And they brought out this little box and so many animals, and I got the last two cats, the last two, and I brought them to the house and I told my mom not about what my dad said, because I'm not trying to really add more fuel to her fire to make her feel sick orything like that. I'm trying to really protect her in that sense. I told her that I just decided to get them for protection for the cats because we had spoken about it, and we picked one for a million, one for teddy, we blessed them and energized them with the full moon and then like the sun and like the rain that appened not that long ago, and one is in each other sleeping spots, just little bit of adding on, but it's just really weird. I don't believe coincidence happens a lot in this situation. You just had to be very diligent and be like an observer. During the very first recording that I made with Lil's she sent me this picture after via email where it shows a person with a robe. She's talking about her mom, and there is this very clear handprint with very long fingers on it, and it's clear you can see it. And obviously I'll link to this in the description of the episode, but that part of the story got cut out. Either it was never recorded or we just lost it through our audio issues. Anyway, what she says up next is the explanation of that photograph. Boyfriend's grandfather who's ninety five, and he's kicking man. He's he works out and does more than I do at thirty five, Like he wakes up five in the morning, cuts when and does everything, and he's going he was going through a really bad health, scare and he's good right now and everything, but both of his ex wives that had passed were trying to connect with my mom, So my mom thought it was one of them trying to connect with her because she says that like they were trying to whispering her ear that night, which I tried to ignore her because it was freaking me out. But she said that the hand that was on her back felt like a male's hand, so she wasn't sure if it was like my grandpa or my brother because my brother passed away when I was seventeen in a motorcycling accident, so maybe it could have been him. But my mom didn't feel scared or anything. But she said she wasn't scared, but she didn't feel comfortable. She walked upstairs, came down, and as she was walking out, I looked at her and I followed her outside and I grabbed my phone and she was like, why are you following me? Hella creepily and I said, turn around, and she said why and I said, just turn around. I don't want to tell you until you turn around, and I take this. So I don't think I'm losing my mind, because that's my thing like I need a picture proof to make sure I'm not losing my mind, Like I need to start a thing later on to be like, Okay, I'm not losing my mind, Like this is real, right. I take the picture and I show it to her and she looked at me and she was like huh. And I was like what And she was like, it felt like a male And I was like, are you sure it wasn't like Eric's, like Grandma's And she said no, she goes, definitely was not a female hand, because she said she felt it on her back and then they hand go down and drag. That's why it looks like long fingers. Yes. Based on the questions and comments of concern for Lil's and her mom, I asked and was assured that they are doing okay, and we're actually discussing the possibility of having both of them come on the show to share more of the stories.
