The Curse of the Nightly Visitors

What if the noises in the night were more than just sounds, and every eerie dream meant someone you love or die? What do superstitions become supernatural? My name is Edward, and here there's leads true scary story. In South Africa, especially within the Afrikaans language community, there's this superstition that if a person is born with the sex all around them. I think they call it an amniotic sect that you've got to link with the spirit world where you can see or experience supernatural entities of force. In some way, it was sort of found upon. You don't talk about this, You don't talk about seeing spirits. My mom and I were actually two in our family born with that sort of thing. My dad passed away eight years ago. It will be eight years this year. My mom sold the house and she bought a new house. What she didn't know at that point was the lady who owned the house before her, her husband had cancer and passed away in the house. Not every night, but every good once in a while, she's been having what we like to call nightly visitors. The first month or so after my mom moved in, she was sleeping in her bedroom and she heard this loud noise like this was a printer printing whatever sort of document next to her, and someone typing on the keyboard. The first thought my mom had was, Oh, no, there's someone in the house. I'm going to be robbed. Something's going to happen. She turned on the light. She could still hear the noise that was coming from inside the house. She looked around, and it's a small place and there was nothing there. She thought, I'm just going to go back to sleep. Maybe it's just me hallucinating, Maybe it's all the stress from the move. She goes back to sleep. She gets woken up at three o'clock in the morning. Same thing. For the next couple of nights, it's the same story, over and over again. There's these people typing on a keyboard of a computer. There's a noise of a printer, there's paper being crampled up, general office noise. My mom got fed up with it and she said, what the hell is your problem? Leave me alone, just be quiet. I want nothing to do with you. And the noise stopped. Then a few nights later, the noise picked up again. She said the same thing, Leave me alone. I've got nothing to do with you. What is your problem. And then a few days later she got a call from someone who was relatively close to the family to say her husband passed away. My mom first thought, oh, it's a coincidence. Maybe it's stress nightmass things like that. This has been going on for a few years now. Every couple of months she will get a visitor or her noise or something, and the first thought is someone is breaking in. I'm a goodness, what's going to happen? And then she turns on the light. She still gets the noise from inside house. She even checked in that space between the roof, there was no one there. And then a few days later another family friend passed away, someone she knows. This has been very upsetting to my mom. She was actually in tears because she can't sleep. She doesn't want to be bothered with us. While my dad was still alive, my dad was super strict something was either biblical or it was worth it, and she didn't want to talk about it because my dad would basically emotionally break her down if she mentioned something weird like that. And they never had any real experiences up until my dad passed away, and it really heightened when my mom moved into that house that she has now. He was very strecting his religious beliefs. I'm not knocking religion, even though I'm not religious myself, but it's one of those things that you don't touch. It's evil, it's of the devil. You stay away from it. After that, she actually saw a full bodied figure of my dad. He was standing there in the doorway to the bedroom and he said, I'm sorry, it's my fault. You're going to be okay. Sort of that comfort he never really gave her in life, is now trying to give her after he's passing. It gets to the point where I'm also starting to dream. I've been having dreams about people who passed away or going to pass away, but I don't know it at the time. And my mom was telling the story and she said, you know what, you were born with that thing around you. Maybe you can still see spirits. I dream it. She actually sees years and experience it physically. I see faces, I see people that I don't actually really know. I would go to my mom and my mom said, oh, I had one of those noises again. People were coming into my house. They were making noise. I had a talent to get lost and I said, no, I've been having a dream about this and this person. I don't really know that, do you know? Then I know it's this far removed relative. And then a few minutes later my mom gets a call, Oh, this person passed away. Maybe it's just stress for me that I'm actually seeing this or dreaming this. I don't want anything to see something and see people. Oh you're gonna die? What happens if it's somebody I really care about? At night, I'm actually almost too scared to go to sleep, because I'm not worried about nightmares, enjoying nightmare strangely enough because it gives me good short story ideas. But when I see faces of specific people, I'm just scared. I'm going to see someone I really care about, someone I loved, my wife, my son, my mom, my brother or sister. Then that means, oh, my goodness, something bad's going to happen to them. A week ago, my aunt passed away from a long health battle. The night before, it was the noisiest she's ever experienced. She actually got up, moved around the us, and she was cussing out whatever was there. She was telling them, hit the hallad. I want nothing to do with you leave me alone? Stop it. Normally whatever is there, we're quiet and downe and almost sort of that feeling of I'm sorry about that, I apologize, I'll leave you alone now. It carried on and on and on until my mom yelled so much so that the neighbor actually contacted her and asked her, are you okay? What's going on? Is someone inside the house? This is no no, no, I'm fine. It's just there's this noise and it's irritating me and it's got me why And I thought there was someone inside my house. And then that neighbor went to the other neighbor and asked him, are you why are you making a noise? And the neighbor said, no, I'm not making a noise. I owe a scream and I'm up to And then my mom eventually had to admit to them, look, this is what happens. I'm seeing, I'm yearing, and it's got me freaked out because I know my sister is sick. Then that same night, about three o'clock that morning, I had a dream about my aunt. My aunt and I were never very close. She always used to yell at me, call me names, things like that. But I had a dream about her too. I thought, oh no, if she hasn't passed away, she's going to pass away and soon. So about half past seven that morning, I'm on my way to work and my mom phones. She said, my aunt passed away, and I told her I had a dream about her that she was yelling at me, moaning at me about something that I did as a kid. The last couple of times, my dreams and her experiences have actually sinked up. Normally very skipped person, but I'm a skeptic, open to the possibility of something. But it actually freaked me out now that what I first thought was coincidence. Now I'm actually starting to think, Okay, maybe there's something to it. And that's what's got me scared to the point now that I'm actually want to see a psychiatrist or a doctor or something that can maybe prescribe medication that I can sleep but not dream. My mom doesn't even want to come visit my house because now she's telling me there's something inside my house. After I turn off the lights or even with the lights on, I feel like there's someone actually watching me. I don't know who, I don't know what it could be. I don't know if they friendly or malevolent in any way, but I just feel like there's something watching me, but I don't know what the intentions are. Mom has a theory about it herself, because she came from her very abusive childhood, serious abuse. She thinks maybe the way she was born and the life that she had as a child might have made her a conduit or something that she can actually pick up on these signals because she was very good at sensing when abuse was about to happen or when something bad was about to happen. She has a very very good gut feeling, and I think since my dad passed away, since her parents have passed away years ago, that there isn't this blockage anymore, and now everything is coming to her tenfold. Lately, my mom hasn't had need visitors or noises, but she still has that fear in her that if she hears something, oh my goodness, who's going to be next. Luckily, my son wasn't born with that. My sister and my brother weren't born with that. So it seems like my mom and I either only two people in our family who actually sees or experiences these things. It's not fun. This is something I want no part of. And if I see or dream about somebody that I really care about, I'm too scared about what's going to happen. I always say to my wife, I just want peace in my life, and that's it. You can listen to these stories without ads and support or production free for two weeks and then four ninety nine a month.
