We Opened a Door We Couldn’t Close

Shadows creep along the walls, disembodied voices call out names, and an unsettling object refuses to stay discarded. What starts as strange noises quickly turns into something far more sinister, leaving one question—did something dark stay behind?

We're about to hear a series of experiences from two of our community members from SCARYFM, from objects moving on their own to a ghostly child at rooms around at night. My name is Edwin and he are Gabby and Mike's True Scary Stories. I actually grew up in the South side of San Antonio. I want to say this happened aground nineties or the early two thousands. I remember specifically a night that my mom's mom had passed away, not that long ago. They were messing with the Wigi board my relatives. One of my relatives as my mom, Hey, you want to play the Wiji board so you could talk to your mom. My mom's like, that's not my mo, that's not my ma. She knew very well what that game represents. She knew it was nothing good. It's like opening up a portal. We were renting this house from my fa which is my dad's oldest sister. Two of my uncles were drunk, very drunk. They were sitting like towards the end of the yard. The dogs were. Barking like towards the driveway and then like they came back with their tails like in between their legs. And then like one of my deals was crushed out and my other. Field saw a lady coming through the driveway. The lady just kept walking. We had a large peak country for our house and we had like a little cement on sidewalk and it was like a piece of slab of concrete like behind our house. And she like disappeared there and like he was asking all the questions like the no, nothing, nada. My sister she saw a white lady with the white dress in the hallway of our house. They saw like a lady in the porch sweepy, my grandma, my mom's one. She was a white lady with white hair, and she was wearing like a specific night youn that she would wear. I remember they literally saw her on the porch back porch sweepy. My grandma had passed away in two thousand and five. We moved out of there the house that my parents are living at currently. One of my cousins had a bobo home. She lit this mobile home on fire. I don't know why she did. So we got the house, we purchased it, and mind you, it was just burnt, like it was halfway burnt. My dad was working on this house while we were living there like half away. I remember we would take pictures. You could see faces in these pictures. I remember one time I was laying down in the living room of that house. I literally felt somebody ran their fingers through my hair. We would hear our names being called. Because I called my mom Matt, she would hear my voice and I would be at school when this happened. They still experienced stuff to this day. A few years ago, my little brother, I don't know what got him into getting into the tiny stuff, but he started doing upside down cross this, pentagrams and the like. I remember he had a devil head like a ball. I remember my baby brother and my dad were clean and up the bedroom where my brother used to sleep. Then they specifically do that ball in the trash in the fire. For some reason, when they went back inside, that little devil ball was inside the same spot where my brother had left it. One time, my mom was washing clothes. I want to say about like eleven, my sister, my brother law, and my niece were asleep. My dad was asleep, so my mom was the only one that was awake. Literally saw a shadow like past five and everybody was asleep. I remember my baby brother recorded some ords floating in that house. It was a few years ago when he did that. It was very strange. My mom, she said that she and make dinner quickly for my dad because my dad used to get out like at midnight or one o'clock in the morning. She used to work late. She would literally make the dinner at four as soon as it hit spikes. She like goes into her bedroom and she knocks herself in because she did not want to be in that uh in the kitchen by herself. One time, my dad and my brother in law were coming home from work. My sister, my mom, and my niece were in the kitchen. My dad was coming inside and he said that he hurt like a like an evil after very ugly. My dad goes, can see. Can so ugly like that? I mean, I'm like can kin, sirion who laughed? My Dad's like. You could hear like an ugly laugh. Mind you, my dad's a skeptic. He does not believe in stuff like that. My Diah Mike, you all lived and. A mobile home. Apparently it used to be like an Indian burial ground there. It was just like a bad situation that happened in like my dad's side of the family, the kids were taken away. So it was my mom, my dad, my yeah, MYO, my cousin. My dad literally heard. A baby crying, but it wasn't like a crying like sad. No, it was like a crying what they take something away from them? Like you literally heard that coming from a bedroom. My baby brother he said that he had spent the night there with my couthy because they used to, like you know, hang out all the time. And my baby brother said that everybody had went to sleep and he's the only one that was awake. I think they were playing a video game. I don't remember, but he literally heard somebody say, the one that has scared me the most is here. It's some when I'm living here because I left when my. Inluss I was a part of it. I want to say seven to eight in the morning. My kids were asleep, my husband was asleep, everybody was asleep. I was the only one that was awake because I don't make myself my morning. Coffee watching TV. I specifically heard footsteps like coming from the hallway. I was like waiting for one of my kids to come out of the bedroom. Nothing nobody. When my husband said that the nephew of his had saw like a shadow because my mother in law, she has pictures of my nieces on the wall, like up front their contain he saw like a shadow and go buy those pictures from one end to the other end of. The pictures, which very, very weird. I also saw a shadow person here. I was washing the dishes from like the corner of my eye. I literally saw like a shadow, like go through the hallway. I want to go peak nothing, I asked my husband. I'm like, have y'all done like the research of this house. I'm not trying to get my husband just to show his stories. Mike and Gabby were both present during the recording for this story, and up next, Mike is going to share some of his own experiences. We've been here for like since the early nineties, and I think this house was built like sometime in the mid to late eighties, and we moved here in the early nineties, I'll say, like ninety one. And the previous owner here was just some guy who owned a motorcycle. But he was here for since a short time. I don't even know when it even started, to tell the truth, maybe in the mid to late nineties. A friend of mine and he would stay the night every now and then. We were playing PlayStation one, you know, just being hoopy or whatever. So I hopped over the couch and I went to the kitchen. You got some kool aid. It was a glass cup too, so I placed it on top of the table. There was a phone book there, so I don't remember if it was on top of the phone book or if it was right next to it. I just put my glass there, hopped back over the couch out of know where. Boom. We both turned around. I was like, you heard that. I was like, oh, yeah, that's obvious. So I got up and I turned the light because we had the lights off. I looked around. I think I put my glass on top of this book, and the book was on the floor, like the big, old old phone book. We're like, oh, I guess it's time to go to sleep. The stair up the game and go. I was in my old room and you know, use the restroom and the rushrooms like right next to my old room. And I don't know what time. It was super early, maybe three four or maybe five, I don't know. It's still dark outside, so I'm still kind of groggy. So I'm going to the restroom. And this is when you had those like lights that you know, you plug into the on the wall handlelight kind of effects. I reached for the door and the door was creaked open already, so it opened up just a little bit more and I was like, nope, I just turned around went back. So we held it till like sunlight showed up. I would say this was probably around high school times, and my brother was sleeping in the living room. I went to go to restaurant or whatever. My brother was hiding in the kitchen like crouched down. He goes hey, Mike. I was like, how what what are you doing there? Man? He's like something is hitting the glass on the on the window. At that time, we had like a past the backyard. There was like a like a small, dense, foresty like section of the field, I guess because there was like the main road behind or in front of that. Now they've built like on RB's or something right there, but a long time ago there was like this creepy forest like area. It's so small, but like when you go in there, it's so dense that it gets dark in there. It's like so weird. So anyways you're talking about because somebody throwing rocks or something's happening this last I'm like, what are you talking about? And then I heard it, and then now I squatted down. We're both squatting down, like looking at the window, and I had a dog in the backyard and he's like not even barking and nothing. I was like, I don't know what that was. I was like, okay, I'm gonna go lay back down. You're on your own. So he was like, man, that's messed up. When our kids were real small, we would always get balloons, and I've always hated balloons, so we always had ceiling fans on all the time and these balloons would always get tangled up. So another reason why I hated him because I had to untangle the balloons from the ceiling fans. So one morning my son he wanted to have the balloons in the room. We're like now because we have a ceiling fan in there. But I kept them in the hallway. So the next morning I was in the kitchen. How it looked out the layer would be like our room is at the very end, and then like the hallway, so we have to go to that hallway, and then it attaches to the living room, and then the living room attached to the kitchen. When you're sitting against the wall where I was at, I could see the hallway a little bit to my left and the kitchen be just straight ahead, and then further down would be another room, which we called the Kokui room growing up, because there was always the dark room that now now he converted it to like a music room, computer room War two. I'm sitting in right now, but this used to be the Kokui room. So this balloons, we had him in the hallway and I'm sitting in the kitchen and one balloon was just kind of like coasting and I see it. I was like what I could see it, like, you know, moving, just one balloon. Okay, it's coming out here. The ace is not even on at the time that the ceiling fans are off, because I know they'll get tangled up in there. And this is when the balloons were like kind of like not full, so they're not to the ceiling and it wasn't depleted too much, but it was like at about half your height. And I'm just looking at it. I'm like, if it's gonna come to me. That's really weird. It was like just coasting, coasting comes out of the hallway, does like a slow turn, coming kind of towards me. I'm just like spooning my cereal in my hand or something. I'm like looking at it. It just kind of coasted to the cuckoo room door and just stopped there. Gadby was talking to me and I was looking at her. It was also in the kitchen and I saw somebody walking in the backyard and I was like, what was that and she's like why, screaming at me, and I just bolted passed by her, open the back sliding door and I ran outside. There was somebody just walking here, and like the description was, it looked like a female because this figure had short shorts and like a to say, gray sweater, and it looked like they had their hands in her pocket. They had like the hoodie on, but I couldn't see the face. And this was kind of like nighttime too, so it was dark in the backyard. We have a bunch of stuff that my dad has, my brother has over the years, just sitting in the back so in the darkness, if you were to just go in there unknownly you're gonna trip and fall on something. So I ran out there like so fast, and I didn't see anything, and I was like, what was that? I saw somebody? And also when I went out there, I heard the neighbors dog just started barking. When I was outside. I was like, Okay, if somebody was out here, that dog would have barked. Why did a bark at me? There was these people across the street. They took a picture of their daughters. They were like, oh my gosh, they took a picture of a ghost. And I was like, what are you talking about? Let me see. They had a couple of pictures of our neighbor across the street's daughters, and one of the pictures had like this guy. He'd had like bick grim glasses, the white long sleeve shirt and you could see it so clear, but he was transparent at the same time, and he was like walking up the street looking towards not the girls, but like at the camera, it's so clear, but nobody knows who this guy was. Early two thousands, when my Space was kind of big, my sister would always add pictures too, and some of those pictures would be like viruses. So I had to do virus checks and stuff like that. So one night I was just sitting there for hours, and my sister and her kids were staying here at that time, so they were like sleeping in the futon. I'm just sitting there, you know, on this laptop, and in the corner of my eyes saw something move. So when it took another look, I saw a shadow. I swore it looked like a little child, like child's like like my nephew's height at the time, short, like a small child. It moved and then it ran into like room or like that hallway or the where the washroom was at because during that time it was kind of a garage, but it was being built into those rooms. I got up and I was like, was that my nephew? I know he was asleep, and I was like, that's kind of weird. My boys were pretty small, Gabby and the boys were asleep, you know. I go through the hallway, go through the living room, go to the restroom, and I hear footsteps. It sounded like it came from maybe the hallway, came to the door, and I'm like, oh, with probably the boys, they probably have to use the restroom or something. So I have to quickly finish my thing, and I hear run stop and then run back like maybe they got scared, ran back into the room. I come out, open the door. You know, nobody's out there. I'm looking, Okay, that's weird. Go back into the room and I go to my boys and see Gabby and they're all asleep. I was like, what was that? That was so clear, like somebody barefooted ran feet running from far away to close and then back. Told Gabby about that. She heard something similar too. And when our firstborn was small, right, I think we had the baby monitor and it was kind of those things kind of sometimes work, sometimes they don't. And I think we had it on and we heard a baby cry from the hallway and I was like, I think I heard him cry, So we ran over there to go check, and he was sound asleep. If he cried, it would have been awake. I don't think it came from the monitor at all. It's so strange everything that's happened with me. It's like I never really got scared. I guess I did. At first. It was like kind of creepy, but now I'm like, I don't really care. But I always get real interested, like hyped up when something I see or hear. If there's something here, it's not harmful for sure.
