she needs to watch me angrily drive over a parking stump while praying to satan (i painted the road to hell when i was 3 years old help me please I am cursed)
Yes.... but it smiled, in the end. Maybe it wanted to be friends? I would have put bananas and mango slices in the yard fort, to see where its spirit truly laid. Would it be receptive to treats?
@@shaun9120 Nah I'm being serious she has a whole video about various tools/sharp objects/random things she's collected over the years, idk why but it doesn't show up on her channel so bam ua-cam.com/users/live284yp_dH8zQ?si=szthCf3V-3rVswPs
as someone who grew up on a farm that was by far the scariest story she told. i always hated doing stuff outside at night cause u really start seeing shit😭😭
It’s a painting called ‘The Beatific Vision’ from Dante Aligheri’s ‘The Divine Comedy’. It was painted by Gustave Dore. The Beatific Vision is a Christian theology of the ultimate self-communication with God.
@@indigovinyl2445 Thank you for the info! :) I knew it was from The Divine Comedy but I didn't know the specific name of the painting, nor the painter. It's a really powerful image, fitting considering the subject matter!
Im embarrassed to admit this publicly but any time I’ve ever felt a paranormal presence I’ve started to sing. I love to sing, but I’m not great so whenever I make a mistake I restart the song. This could mean I mediocrely sing the same four lines over and over again for 30-45 minutes straight and… human or not, NOBODY is sitting through that.
The lack of pretense is hard to get my head around. A bona fide international rock star telling about the most common upbringing (aside from the creepy experiences). Helps me understand why I have been so disarmed and captivated by the music. It comes through. What a fascinating person.
I don't think I know anyone from back home in Appalachia and the south that doesn't have a ghost story. So much energy in the ground, no matter where you go, it seems. my friend used to have one that would simply turn off lights and the TV for him when he spoke it. I relate heavily to your first story. I was very afraid as a homeschooled Christian kid, of basically everything for the first 10 years of my life. Petrified. But then things began happening that were so real my parents noticed, and I always thought I had conjured up something with my basic fear of it existing, like the fear of the devil being after me. I remember being alone and hearing the heavy footsteps of my father descending the stairs and plopping onto the couch. I froze for so long I couldn't remember how much time passed the finally grabbed the phone for my grandpa to come over, that was the scariest moment, and the time I felt it whisper in my ear and felt cold breath (doesn't make sense but it was cold) right on my ear like a gross man but worse lol. My dad blessed the house eventually, and when he did, this HUGE owl was perched in the tree behind the house, and as he spoke his last words and "amen" it screeched and flew away. Me and my siblings were outside and saw it and he saw it thru the window as he was doing his little blessing of the house. This was in NC.
I also used to call my 2 little church friends in the evenings, and we had a couple phones with a main one so you could see on the tiny screen if it was in use. I was holding the phone and saw that it was "in use" but only my dad and I were home and no one else had the phone. I hit answer to see if I heard anything, and all I heard was static and breathing and a loud slam then it hung up. That was before my dad's house blessing, another moment that really made me realize how real the shit was lol.
big facts. i live in Chattanooga and i've experienced SOOOOO much paranormal shit here. i have legitimate photos of what i can only describe as creatures that i've taken all around my neighborhood.
the fucking monkey thing story actually made my eyes tear and not in a crying way but in a way where that experience is so unreal that i genuinely physically cannot sit with the thought of something like that walking amongst us
i believe we just don’t see em… most of the time. for the better, i guess. people like Haiden are much much more sensitive to the spiritual aspect of the World than common folks
@@nickilullaby i believe that too 😭i dabble in astrology and if u have any idea of what im ab to say then purr but hayden has a pluto in the 1st house placement, and that placement often manifests as "witchy" type of people whether its in appearance/aesthetic or part of their spiritual essences where they can be sensitive to that type of thing more than others, it can manifest in multiple diff ways aswell depending on other factors but i just thought its interesting to mention since i have a similar placement aswell
Listening to this in a pitch black room with just the simple whirring of a box fan.. crickets chirping outside.. for an hour and some change I found myself completely in bliss. Thank you for telling your stories, Hayden 💜

That’s why kids see them a lot and adults might not. Native Americans have stories about them and believe them to be literal, real creatures.
Hmm, interesting. Yeah, it sounded similar to creatures I heard about when I was living in Appalachia, though I believe they called those Knockers? I hadn't heard of them being drawn to children before tho

I have this sometimes, my worst experience I had was this one night when I was dozing off to sleep, it was silent then all of a sudden i heard what sounded like 20 people breaking into my house or something, sounded like all the doors were all busted down simultaneously, and there was like a flood of heavy running footsteps coming my direction from outside my room, everything was shaking, then there were like a bunch of these deep angry shouting voices coming from all different directions, it was so damn loud i cant even explain how loud it was, i jumped out of bed because i legit thought people were coming and I was so terrified i couldn't sleep the rest of the night
Suddenly I no longer feel the desire to whine about Alice in Wonderland Syndrome 😂Which I get while falling asleep regularly, particularly when stressed.
I thought Ptolemaea was the scariest thing I’d ever heard in my life, hayden said I got a story about a field and a crucifix for ya. I have literal tears in my eyes rn
The knocks described at 17:17 remind me of how spirits (specifically malicious/evil ones) knock or do things in threes as a mockery of the holy trinity (father, son, Holy Spirit)
my mom recently had an encounter in the basement bar of a hotel where free masons lived and a boarding school for native children. it nudged her on the knee 3 times. i was wondering what its intent was, to get her attention or to scare her?
@@culttocultur3 That’s so intriguing! I wonder if it was truly malicious if it was formerly a boarding school for native children, I’ve just only seen the ‘three’s’ come from malicious spirits! I think maybe the attempt was to scare her, but not in an aggressive way
wait this is real? omg I remember to seeing something like this in The Conjuring and I thought it was just fictional stuff created for the movie 😦😦 this is so creepy
sometimes i think that there's thousands of people, living in thousands of worlds like and unlike our own, but only just slightly off-center, in a world just a little to the left or right of us, so we never intersect and never notice one another, we just pass by. but every now and then, someone shifts just the right amount at the right time, and intersects with someone else, clips through them, crashing along that line of seperation, and for a split second you're one being with one soul and one consciousness, and you can hear them. hear them, maybe feel them, i guess. and that's when we see a ghost, or hear a voice in our mind, or feel that sense of being someone else, or of deja vu, or of phasing out of ourselves. sometimes i also think that's where stories come from: a brief collision, a slip. ... or maybe i'm just schizophrenic. also a distinct possibility.
i’ve never felt this connected to an artist before. hearing stories of your life reminds me of my childhood and my experience growing up in an old haunted ass house in florida (roaches and all) and i love it. i just got so reminiscent of those years listening to this. love it hayden. you’re the best.
i love that even the presence of your parents beside you garners such a comfort that you can think of the scariest and most harrowing things and knowing you will be okay is a mostly universal experience. It is such sweet childhood innocence that even catches up in adulthood now :,)
What is that about? I know this experience, another person who I've spoken to for the first time about it started saying that it was happening as I explained it - like the mentioning of the crying water is itself someone talking about paranormal experiences. I'm going to ask the Internet if there's any known connection. My whole life I thought it was just me that it happened to, and it wasn't worth talking about. Now, I know how things work more. My eyes are watering now!
Why does it happen? I did find a couple archived posts about it that I can't comment on. Everyone says it's a 'fear response' or 'being scared', but I don't think that's what it is. I'm not necessarily scared when I hear about it, it's more like unlocking or releasing a watery sensitivity, like an etheric opening...
@@easternstar i wish i knew what caused it! its always been a thing for me the aggressive watering.. its so strange it doesn’t happen any other time or while watching paranormal media like films it’s only when someone is explaining personal experiences
I have never had a paranormal experience and I’m so glad because these stories scare me so deeply. Especially the ones from your yard back home with the creature with the ocular face. Genuinely, if I ever see a ghost/paranormal/bothersome creature, I’ll never be the same again
These stories have my hairs standing on end and tears in my eyes running down my damn face. I had to leave the rest of this video for daylight. Damn you hayden
I must say, it does change you. I had crazy experiences in a friend's house. I didn't believe it until I saw it myself. I even detailed it in a video, just hoping for it to be added into those paranormal experiences compilations. I share it with anyone who will listen 😂😂
I think the same way usually but then I remember that it's already happened once and honestly, not much has changed. I'm a huge scaredycat but I'm not even uncomfortable in the room I saw it in? Oddly enough.
I have digested this video over the course of a couple weeks and it’s just insane how in tune you are with the “other side” or whatever you want to call it. It’s an honor to hear your experience/second hand experiences. You are an incredible storyteller
I was about 7 or 8 years old when something happened that I’ve never been able to forget. It started as a normal day. I was in the living room, sitting in front of the TV, completely absorbed in whatever I was watching. Then, out of nowhere, I heard it-a strange, heavy breathing. At first, I thought it might’ve been the TV, so I muted it. But the breathing didn’t stop. If anything, it became even more pronounced, filling the room with an eerie, suffocating presence. I tried to stay calm, but my heart was pounding in my chest. The sound was so real, so close, and it wasn’t coming from anywhere I could see. I remember getting up and going to my sister, hoping for some reassurance, but she ignored me. It was like she didn’t notice anything was wrong. That’s when the breathing intensified. It wasn’t just in the room anymore-it was right next to me, loud and terrifying, as if someone, or something, was right there. It was so clear, so close, that I couldn’t take it anymore. I ran to my father, crying, completely in shock from how intense it had become. The sound was too real, too overwhelming. Even after all these years, I can still hear it in my mind. The memory is crystal clear, but there’s no explanation. I know I was wide awake. I don’t suffer from any mental health issues, and nothing like this ever happened again. But that day, the fear was real. It shook me to my core.
This is so gripping, so well-told that it could easily pass for an annual Halloween ghost stories anthology. I am so glad that I discovered you and your music. You made my week.
I got chills once u were talking about the white face mask w the eyes and mouth bc I all the sudden remembered I had the literal same exact experience before I was 10 years old. I saw a white face mask w a mouth and eyes through a window of this random house I stop by briefly when I was on this bike w my step brother....I rarely ever think of this experience cuz I was so young
literally had the exact same except it used to watch me through my window at night. to help me not feel as scared i would legit talk to it, not outloud but in my head i would say "hi, how are you" and shit
I've never had an experience with it personally but my grandmother and sister has. my sister saw it on Christmas night when she looked out the window. it was staring at her. my grandmother saw it above the blanket (we hung a blanket acting as a door, the top was like this ^_^ so it wasn't fully covering.) and it was just staring at her. it had to be extremely tall for it to do that. also, the other day on Halloween my reflection moved on itself 😭 just needed to tell something that. its weird because I personally don't really connect the paranormal to Halloween, like I don't expect stuff like that to happen on Halloween because it just feels like another day, but.. yay..
I’m going through some painful stuff in my life at the moment, there’s stress and anxiety all around me. But this is a moment of calm and comfort, and has brought me back down to earth. Love to you mother ❤
im also a scaredy cat and can't handle horror and get anxious about everything yet i love spooky/spiritual things. especially when im in a really bad place mentally i just start to find anything related to death super comforting. literally 2 nights ago i searched "bedtime ghost stories" but was too scared to click on anything and then i saw you posted this and knew i could trust you to tell really interesting, honest stories in a soft, calm voice. even though some parts were scary these kinds of stories just help me feel real again and interested in being alive idk how to explain it but thank you. and also im gonna pray for you because omg.
I've recognized high differences of mental states and nothing, expecially through art, music and spirituality, but in the end I could say that I've feeled only silence and void in the darkness, nothing more than that. Like that old famous song of the Depeche mode, I'm waiting for the night. Yeah, that's my feeling upon this issue. My life experience was very close to what you've described through your music, expecially in preacher's daughter, thanks for your art. Greetings from southern Italy.
hey girl ive never listened to your music so idk how i found this but this video is really amazing and really calming, just straight to the point, no bells and whistles, just an hour of ghost stories
Watching this as Hurricane Helene rages outside my window. Thank you so much for sharing. So many of these stories reminded me of the strange times that were commonplace when I lived with my Nana and Papa in their double wide. Love you.
i got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder a couple days ago and haven’t been doing well, your music comforts me greatly and one of my obsessions is the supernatural/paranormal so this is so lovely 🤍
it gets better. your disorder doesn’t define you and love is there for you, you’re not destined to be alone or hurt. you are destined to be loved and love and find your passions ❤
Woah! I flew out to Denver to see you in that show with Florence. Crazy to hear what went down right before that!! Home invasion is one of my worst fears too. Cannot even imagine
At my grandmother’s house, there’s a rocking chair that, etched into its wood, takes the shape of a child. If you sleep over, you can hear faint laughing at night. Always freaked me out, but now it sort of just feels like an abnormal connection to things we can’t see. It makes me look at life a little differently.
Your voice is so relaxing. Even when telling the scariest stories I’ve ever heard (the white creature and the tall apparition on the hill) Just chilling. Such unique stories too.
17:29 i had a similar kind of experience with knocking with paranormal experiences when i was a kid too, when you gave an example of the knocks, i cannot lie it sent me shivers
it’s so comforting listening to you as an artist who i love so deeply talk about the area i grew up in. i always hated it there but for some reason i love hearing you talk about it, and i can feel it in your music too. I dont know it’s just nice to feel that connection with an artist who has seen what ive seen.
The hill glider gagged me a bit. I love stuff like this and have tried to chase experiences like this my whole life. The ones that I've had have always been in instances like you've described where it just kind of happens without expecting it or seeking it out. Right place right time kind of thing, or I guess wrong depending on how you look at it.
It’s odd but I kind of understand what you mean. I’m terrified of stuff like this but simultaneously I want something of the sort to happen to me so I have ‘proof’ of my own. Not that I don’t believe her, but there’s nothing like first-hand experience. Im interested to hear what your experiences have been, I’ve had one experience but it was quite mild. Powerful in the moment, though
You have such a beautiful way of speaking so calm, soft and comforting whilst describing unsettling events. I can’t describe it other than that really but I love it so much x

my mom recently had an encounter in the basement bar of a hotel where free masons lived and a boarding school for native children. it nudged her on the knee 3 times. i was wondering what its intent was, to get her attention or to scare her?
@@culttocultur3 That’s so intriguing! I wonder if it was truly malicious if it was formerly a boarding school for native children, I’ve just only seen the ‘three’s’ come from malicious spirits! I think maybe the attempt was to scare her, but not in an aggressive way
wait this is real? omg I remember to seeing something like this in The Conjuring and I thought it was just fictional stuff created for the movie 😦😦 this is so creepy
sometimes i think that there's thousands of people, living in thousands of worlds like and unlike our own, but only just slightly off-center, in a world just a little to the left or right of us, so we never intersect and never notice one another, we just pass by. but every now and then, someone shifts just the right amount at the right time, and intersects with someone else, clips through them, crashing along that line of seperation, and for a split second you're one being with one soul and one consciousness, and you can hear them. hear them, maybe feel them, i guess. and that's when we see a ghost, or hear a voice in our mind, or feel that sense of being someone else, or of deja vu, or of phasing out of ourselves. sometimes i also think that's where stories come from: a brief collision, a slip.
... or maybe i'm just schizophrenic. also a distinct possibility.
i like your mind very much….. not schizophrenic at all. very curious and brilliant
I like this theory
sounds kinda like the idea of djinn in islamic spiritual thought tbh
Go watch interstellar
Dark souls
i’ve never felt this connected to an artist before. hearing stories of your life reminds me of my childhood and my experience growing up in an old haunted ass house in florida (roaches and all) and i love it. i just got so reminiscent of those years listening to this. love it hayden. you’re the best.
i love that even the presence of your parents beside you garners such a comfort that you can think of the scariest and most harrowing things and knowing you will be okay is a mostly universal experience. It is such sweet childhood innocence that even catches up in adulthood now :,)
i cant think of anything scarier than showering in the dark pls
whenever someone talks about their paranormal experiences my eyes just uncontrollably water like i’m basically crying 😭
What is that about? I know this experience, another person who I've spoken to for the first time about it started saying that it was happening as I explained it - like the mentioning of the crying water is itself someone talking about paranormal experiences. I'm going to ask the Internet if there's any known connection. My whole life I thought it was just me that it happened to, and it wasn't worth talking about. Now, I know how things work more.
My eyes are watering now!
Why does it happen? I did find a couple archived posts about it that I can't comment on. Everyone says it's a 'fear response' or 'being scared', but I don't think that's what it is. I'm not necessarily scared when I hear about it, it's more like unlocking or releasing a watery sensitivity, like an etheric opening...
@@easternstar i wish i knew what caused it! its always been a thing for me the aggressive watering.. its so strange it doesn’t happen any other time or while watching paranormal media like films it’s only when someone is explaining personal experiences
this happens to me too, although i've gotten less sensitive to it. really not sure why
me too!! the elephant hill story my eyes started watering like crazy… i’ve never heard anyone else talk about it
I have never had a paranormal experience and I’m so glad because these stories scare me so deeply. Especially the ones from your yard back home with the creature with the ocular face. Genuinely, if I ever see a ghost/paranormal/bothersome creature, I’ll never be the same again
These stories have my hairs standing on end and tears in my eyes running down my damn face. I had to leave the rest of this video for daylight. Damn you hayden
I must say, it does change you. I had crazy experiences in a friend's house. I didn't believe it until I saw it myself. I even detailed it in a video, just hoping for it to be added into those paranormal experiences compilations. I share it with anyone who will listen 😂😂
I think the same way usually but then I remember that it's already happened once and honestly, not much has changed. I'm a huge scaredycat but I'm not even uncomfortable in the room I saw it in? Oddly enough.
its so genuine that my soul calms down as soon as i hear hayden speak even if it's a creepy story and it haunts me at night
the man in the field story scared me so bad
Tru
Yeah the whole, it glided over thing, fuuuuck that.
Ethel talking about her paranormal experiences is not something I knew I needed today
literally
great way to kick off autumn thank u hayden
I love how your florida accent came out during this🤍
Where
And I think some snot too
11:18 This has me acc dying
I love how Ethel explains everything so deeply
This like hearing ghost stories at night in the woods, bring a lot of my childhood.
I love how descriptive she is and in combination with her beautiful soft voice this is just amazing
THE LIKE BUBBLE LMAO
Going to fall asleep to this then watch properly in the morning
I have digested this video over the course of a couple weeks and it’s just insane how in tune you are with the “other side” or whatever you want to call it. It’s an honor to hear your experience/second hand experiences. You are an incredible storyteller
I was about 7 or 8 years old when something happened that I’ve never been able to forget. It started as a normal day. I was in the living room, sitting in front of the TV, completely absorbed in whatever I was watching. Then, out of nowhere, I heard it-a strange, heavy breathing. At first, I thought it might’ve been the TV, so I muted it. But the breathing didn’t stop. If anything, it became even more pronounced, filling the room with an eerie, suffocating presence.
I tried to stay calm, but my heart was pounding in my chest. The sound was so real, so close, and it wasn’t coming from anywhere I could see. I remember getting up and going to my sister, hoping for some reassurance, but she ignored me. It was like she didn’t notice anything was wrong.
That’s when the breathing intensified. It wasn’t just in the room anymore-it was right next to me, loud and terrifying, as if someone, or something, was right there. It was so clear, so close, that I couldn’t take it anymore. I ran to my father, crying, completely in shock from how intense it had become. The sound was too real, too overwhelming.
Even after all these years, I can still hear it in my mind. The memory is crystal clear, but there’s no explanation. I know I was wide awake. I don’t suffer from any mental health issues, and nothing like this ever happened again. But that day, the fear was real. It shook me to my core.
woah
woahhh
woahhhhh
woahhhhhhh
Fuck that. As someone who hears voices, fuck that.
This is so gripping, so well-told that it could easily pass for an annual Halloween ghost stories anthology. I am so glad that I discovered you and your music. You made my week.
videos like these that make you feel like you are on a video call are the ones that are special.
I think an paranormal experiences themed album would heal me in ways i can’t even explain. love the way you tell stories
Oh that would be actually scary
i love the bit of an accent that comes thru here it's so fun
Her soft-spoken voice is so calming!!
'thank u, hayden' we all said in union 🗣
I mean this with the upmost love, I don’t listen to your music but you are definitely my favourite ASMRtist
I got chills once u were talking about the white face mask w the eyes and mouth bc I all the sudden remembered I had the literal same exact experience before I was 10 years old. I saw a white face mask w a mouth and eyes through a window of this random house I stop by briefly when I was on this bike w my step brother....I rarely ever think of this experience cuz I was so young
literally had the exact same except it used to watch me through my window at night. to help me not feel as scared i would legit talk to it, not outloud but in my head i would say "hi, how are you" and shit
I've never had an experience with it personally but my grandmother and sister has. my sister saw it on Christmas night when she looked out the window. it was staring at her. my grandmother saw it above the blanket (we hung a blanket acting as a door, the top was like this ^_^ so it wasn't fully covering.) and it was just staring at her. it had to be extremely tall for it to do that. also, the other day on Halloween my reflection moved on itself 😭 just needed to tell something that. its weird because I personally don't really connect the paranormal to Halloween, like I don't expect stuff like that to happen on Halloween because it just feels like another day, but.. yay..
I’m going through some painful stuff in my life at the moment, there’s stress and anxiety all around me. But this is a moment of calm and comfort, and has brought me back down to earth. Love to you mother ❤
this video was supposed to help me sleep, and now listening to her talk about her last house in Alabama has me terrified😭
im also a scaredy cat and can't handle horror and get anxious about everything yet i love spooky/spiritual things. especially when im in a really bad place mentally i just start to find anything related to death super comforting. literally 2 nights ago i searched "bedtime ghost stories" but was too scared to click on anything and then i saw you posted this and knew i could trust you to tell really interesting, honest stories in a soft, calm voice. even though some parts were scary these kinds of stories just help me feel real again and interested in being alive idk how to explain it but thank you. and also im gonna pray for you because omg.
YOUR FACE WHEN YOU SAW THE LIKE CLOUD ON THE SCREEN
Lmfaoooooo
I SCREAMED
11:19
I've recognized high differences of mental states and nothing, expecially through art, music and spirituality, but in the end I could say that I've feeled only silence and void in the darkness, nothing more than that. Like that old famous song of the Depeche mode, I'm waiting for the night. Yeah, that's my feeling upon this issue. My life experience was very close to what you've described through your music, expecially in preacher's daughter, thanks for your art. Greetings from southern Italy.
HELL nah that footsteps/handprints to the attic one scared me SO BAD
hey girl ive never listened to your music so idk how i found this but this video is really amazing and really calming, just straight to the point, no bells and whistles, just an hour of ghost stories
this is the perfect way to spend the beginning of fall
Watching this as Hurricane Helene rages outside my window. Thank you so much for sharing. So many of these stories reminded me of the strange times that were commonplace when I lived with my Nana and Papa in their double wide. Love you.
i got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder a couple days ago and haven’t been doing well, your music comforts me greatly and one of my obsessions is the supernatural/paranormal so this is so lovely 🤍
it gets better. your disorder doesn’t define you and love is there for you, you’re not destined to be alone or hurt. you are destined to be loved and love and find your passions ❤
It’s horrible. It’s a punishment I swear cause you can’t control anything
We are very similar. I'm trans, grew up in a trailer in the rural South and my family were very Christian, very artistic and very haunted.
Woah! I flew out to Denver to see you in that show with Florence. Crazy to hear what went down right before that!! Home invasion is one of my worst fears too. Cannot even imagine
Huddled up in a warm bed with a blanket on and listening to you talk about your scary encounters. Man this is cozy.
At my grandmother’s house, there’s a rocking chair that, etched into its wood, takes the shape of a child. If you sleep over, you can hear faint laughing at night. Always freaked me out, but now it sort of just feels like an abnormal connection to things we can’t see. It makes me look at life a little differently.
One time I bent over and a little girl ghost jumped over me while giggling. I must say I admire her athleticism. I am a big man, even while bent over.
Your voice is so relaxing. Even when telling the scariest stories I’ve ever heard (the white creature and the tall apparition on the hill) Just chilling. Such unique stories too.
Those were the ones that spooked me the most too!
this is the only paranormal video i've ever been able to watch at night because your voice is so soothing and comforting
Fall weather finally arriving today makes this video a spiritual experience
17:29 i had a similar kind of experience with knocking with paranormal experiences when i was a kid too, when you gave an example of the knocks, i cannot lie it sent me shivers
my new favorite asmr channel
it’s so comforting listening to you as an artist who i love so deeply talk about the area i grew up in. i always hated it there but for some reason i love hearing you talk about it, and i can feel it in your music too. I dont know it’s just nice to feel that connection with an artist who has seen what ive seen.
The hill glider gagged me a bit. I love stuff like this and have tried to chase experiences like this my whole life. The ones that I've had have always been in instances like you've described where it just kind of happens without expecting it or seeking it out. Right place right time kind of thing, or I guess wrong depending on how you look at it.
It’s odd but I kind of understand what you mean. I’m terrified of stuff like this but simultaneously I want something of the sort to happen to me so I have ‘proof’ of my own. Not that I don’t believe her, but there’s nothing like first-hand experience. Im interested to hear what your experiences have been, I’ve had one experience but it was quite mild. Powerful in the moment, though
Ur voice is beyond soothing, i love listening to u
You have such a beautiful way of speaking so calm, soft and comforting whilst describing unsettling events. I can’t describe it other than that really but I love it so much x
