356: IT Ran at the Tree Stand, Graveyard Shift & Woman Without a Face

[00:00:00] Tonight, I'll be discussing a piece of hunting land that seems to have a multitude of paranormal

[00:00:12] activity.

[00:00:13] A report of two police officers that encounter something unknown while working the night

[00:00:19] shift.

[00:00:20] And an odd encounter with a woman who, instead of a long-haired college student at Longwood University. On my off time between classes and jobs, I would spend time at my buddy's farm in Cumberland, Virginia. Being that he is also in law enforcement, we'll call him John. John had inherited the property and the farmhouse from his grandmother. The property had been in his family for a the farmhouse. The back porch was like any old-school southern plantation porch with a big window and rocking chairs. John said that as he put down a piece of furniture and looked up into the window toward the living room, he saw the reflection of a man in a gray uniform hanging from a noose on the old oak tree behind the house.

[00:03:01] John stated that when he turned around, there was nothing there.

[00:04:04] from the early morning, and if someone had been standing there, they would have certainly made an impression on the grass.

[00:04:06] He also stated that there weren't any impressions in the brush and undergrowth that protected

[00:04:11] access into those woods.

[00:04:14] There were branches, vines, and even high grass that someone would have to have walked

[00:04:18] through to get into those woods from the field.

[00:04:21] John said that the vegetation was all untouched. life either way. As a result, I controlled my breathing and my movements. As I sat there, the sound evolved from careful and cautious, indicating wildlife to loud and reckless. It sounded like something heavy was walking carelessly toward my stand, breaking branches and crunching leaves in for the day. John to this day continues to tell me about his paranormal encounters. For a place that's so remote and quiet, it seems like a bustling epicenter. For paranormal activity. This next experience also comes from Ethan, and Ethan's experience is called, Graveyard

[00:07:05] Shift. of modern law enforcement. No cameras, no rifles, no computers, and most importantly, no backup. At the time of this occurrence, we had three deputies and two sergeants to cover the entirety of the county. As a result, this meant that I often operated alone to cover 211 square miles

[00:08:20] of the county. Calling for backup meant waking somebody up by a these landmarks, hoping that if I witnessed something paranormal, it would give me the jolt of excitement that I needed to get me through the rest of my shift. It sounds crazy, I know, but copious amounts of caffeine do not compensate for sleep deprivation. For the longest time, I would drive through cornfields, hunting properties, abandon businesses,

[00:09:42] and tucked away churches hoping to find something.

[00:09:45] One night, I got just partner cut the corner of the building, disappearing into the void of darkness, as I sat comfortably in the well-lit, safe haven of my patrol vehicle. My radio then abruptly cuts the silence, and I hear my partner state that there is a man

[00:11:01] looking at him from the cornfields.

[00:11:04] He stated that he was wearing what he described, Sheriff's office, don't move. He then said that the man at first seemed unfazed by the command, but continued to maintain his trance-like state without moving so much as a muscle.

[00:12:22] He said at that point he drew his pistol out riddled with dust, cobwebs, and mold. It looked like it hadn't been occupied in years.

[00:13:42] The pews had several generations of dust on them.

[00:13:45] The baptism pool was lined with dead night, when the county sleeps. I hope one day to hear this story on your podcast, and I hope that it was worth the read.

My experience happened about ten years ago when my daughter and I moved into an apartment. What struck me right away was the bedroom setup. The room was small, and there was only one place to put the bed in.

[00:16:20] Right on the opposite side facing the bed was a around my head in circles. Of course, it was hard to sleep with that, so one night, as she made her circles around me, I was lying on my right side and I used my left hand to gently press her down on the bed, to show her that I wanted her to lie down. To my surprise, she did. She was in the nook between my belly and

[00:17:42] my knees. Imagine a person in the position of the TV and thinking about all these happenings and wondering if whatever it was would follow me. As I sat there, completely out of nowhere, a drop of water fell on my forehead. How do I know that it was water? Well, I wiped it off, and I smelled it. I jumped up.

[00:19:00] It was daylight, but I grabbed the flashlight and a stepladder, and I felt the entire ceiling

[00:19:05] area right above where I was sitting. pink lady. Chovy says, Hey Nick, I don't normally believe in things like ghosts, but I've always believed in cryptids, my favorite being the Mothman. I've never seen anything close to a cryptid in my life, but I did see a very odd person, only once. It was June 2018, and me and my friend Jaden were eating lunch while sitting on my car

[00:20:24] after being at Top Golf. seen the odd lady, so I tried to tell him what I just saw, talking to him like he was a child, and had short-term memory laws, but he didn't seem to see what I saw. Now, later that day I was thinking about what had happened, and I noticed something. She disappeared after walking away. The street was straight, and there was only a barn farther down, so either she hopped
