Like people didn't really know.
With it yet and like I started posting like videos on Facebook.
I remember of like stories I was working on and then getting like some attention.
That's all people do is post videos of them like talking about.
It doesn't matter if anyone cares, they.
It's so interesting and what I find interesting is there's so many different.
Gories and so it's been really neat doing this podcast.
And we love that we love this little community who likes all the spooky stuff.
So we think you're really going to like this episode.
This comes from her tick Tock name is true story, Laurie.
And she was a trip to talk to.
Later in life, her mom sort of helped justify and experience that she had when she was a little.
Girl and you're going to love to hear that part.
That was like one of the fun parts for me.
Daughter also has experiences and likes to tell everyone that she has lived a life before.
Seen things ever since I was little.
It actually started with the man with the Black Hat.
So I always say I grew up in a haunted house.
I didn't think anything of it.
And I just remember that always every night as a child.
And I would sleep with my blanket up by my eyes.
You know, all through my childhood.
And then one day, when I was a teenager, my.
Dishes and I said something about somehow it came up and I was talking about it.
And she turned around and she goes.
And I was like, no, I didn't make that up.
Just a few years ago, my dad called me all, like, frazzled, he said he was.
And they see him in the night and.
And he's like, that's the man that you.
People around the whole world see this.
And I was like, they're kidding.
But that was just in our house.
Like I would ask our neighbors.
See the guy with the Black Hat.
No, but what made me realize how real that.
Was when my son was three years old.
We're all at the dining room table eating dinner, and my son gets up and he.
He's going to play, he comes running back to the table and he says, honey, there's a man.
So we all go running to the hallway.
Right outside my bedroom when my bedroom door in.
The bedroom that I had when I.
He said the man was standing right there and then he was pointing up to the ceiling.
He saying maybe he went up there.
Mommy, cause we have that the pull down stairs for the attic and he was like.
Maybe he went up there and and.
We lived there for a while, but he never saw it again and my my daughter never.
Saw it while we lived in that house and you know, other things didn't start happening until we were.
I didn't think he was gonna hurt.
I I remember always being afraid.
With my covers over, but I I always saw.
That's like sing always singing that sing song thing and he's got that weird old timey outfit on.
I mean, my my neighborhood was built on.
I thought that that it followed us.
But it was still, you know, things were still.
Like doing the bills at her desk and.
He was in bed one night and he said the corner of his bed by his to the.
Dad is 75 years old. He sleeps with the door open because he's afraid he.
There's nothing holding me back from running.
Through that doorway I tried like Googling.
So where I grew up was a very famous psychiatric center, huge psychiatric center on Long Island.
And it's been closed down since the 90s now, but a lot of crazy things happened there.
And I had her while I lived at my.
She came when she was three months old.
And and we would constantly going to the friends or the 1st?
Like is there like kids playing around like in the neighborhood?
Like like like Ring and run, but they're knocking on my door.
Something about like you'll see.
There's like, I know it's been happening for days.
But it was their original house.
You just hear them giggling like somebody was shaking them.
My my youngest as soon as she could talk, so she was and she was speech delay.
But as soon as she could communicate, she started the very first time it happened.
I was downstairs and she was upstairs for her nap and she was about two.
He started screaming this guttural panic.
This just this scream that I thought she was in.
Instant pain, like she fell out.
Stuck or something in the crib and it was just this shrieking scream.
Running upstairs and she's standing up in the crib, pointing and screaming a.
There's a guy in my closet and.
I have an very very old cell phone, horrible video.
So she would say that for years that and she kept seeing the guy in her room.
She would tell us other things, constant.
Really weird things that then connected to the reincarnation story, she told us later on.
Like, how is she not understanding?
And I was cooking dinner and she said Mommy is the.
Like, really nervously look to.
Her right and pointed and she said that.
One of the moms that mom, she called me the next day.
And she said I didn't want to make you nervous last night.
I just wanted to let you know he's friendly, but I.
See a little boy in your kitchen.
So that was when I was like, well, there's no way Juliana.
Didn't see something like they're seeing the exact same thing.
And our dog would never walk that way into the kitchen.
There was a way to go through.
Deck out in the backyard and my.
That way, she always went all the way.
Around the other side of the house to go outside.
She actually came out and said something.
She started at Ohh gosh, two years old too.
Every single night, she just wouldn't go to sleep.
Night and when I was trying to.
She would yell at me that she's met.
She needs to be singing on the stage.
Talking about so she insisted, and that was nightly.
So when she was four, she one day we're sitting on the couch and she just she got.
She seemed nervous, like she just she snuggled into me.
Mommy, I have to tell you something.
And she was, like, afraid to tell me.
And I was like what you could tell me what's the matter?
Used to have a different daddy.
And he was my Papa, and I was.
Like you had a different daddy.
And she said, my Papa Hank and.
And she said I used to sing with him on the stage.
That makes sense because she's been this kid has been saying that she's been singing on the stage.
I said, do you remember your mommy and where?
So we were trying to we, you know, I wish I had.
Singing. And I'm not a big country. I love country music now. This was in 2000.
And I liked like Garth Brooks, you know?
It's not a big country singing.
Like, I just didn't know Hank Williams.
He wasn't someone that ever crossed my mind.
I didn't know he was like the most famous country.
So I was Googling Hank and singing and.
They're almost like a cover bands for Hank Williams.
They sing Hank Williams songs and dressed up and.
And then my husband was like, we were trying to talk to and ask no questions and stuff.
And then one day I put a Hank Williams song on in in my kitchen, and I called her downstairs.
Belly like, just like she was just like, like drained.
And she, like, couldn't even, like, get the.
Like the goosebumps, I still I.
So we started, we had, I put it on Facebook, we had friends researching.
Everybody was so invested in this story and they're like, Oh my gosh.
Like what they were looking into Hank Williams, kids and stuff.
So I pulled up a picture of Hank Williams, and I don't know if it's his wife or what.
There's an old picture and he has Hank Williams junior sitting on his lap in this picture.
And and she looks at she at four years old.
There's no way that she would be able to differentiate age.
She didn't even know to call us or her parents.
She looked at that picture and she said that baby is my brother.
Junior was the baby and I was just, like, blown away and.
It wasn't publicized like they didn't do that back then, like it wasn't like ohh like.
Like, yeah, it was more like this is your family.
There wasn't one that passed away that was public.
That it could have been, it could have been someone different.
You know somebody from a different relationship.
That was not his actual daughter, but like a daughter to him.
When she said she was driving in the car and the next thing she knew, she was with me.
But she said that her daddy had her Papa Hank had died and she had to go live with her neighbors.
And that's when that clicked to me, she had to go live with her neighbors.
And so while she was living in her neighbors house, she was looking outside and seeing her.
If that was her parents house.
I think because there already were times that were.
Verified, but I guess you would say like I saw the man with the Black Hat.
And then my son saw him in the same hallway without anybody ever telling him.
You know, like, I felt like that was, like, justified, that like that.
OK, how could it not be real if?
We both see the exact same thing in the same place without.
Knowing like he didn't know and and.
Then when my daughter said she saw the.
She was meant to be sitting on.
Parents wear the show, you know, looking at.
These were all things that that all.
She was telling us, made them.
So she is 11 and she remembers those things, but she doesn't see anything new.
Us there's no ghosts in this house.
And you know, just that she was, she just was always into singing.
She always had her little guitar with her.
She always was making up songs and singing, and I posted a couple of videos of her playing her.
Our guitarists, I said, I guess would say they.
She had lessons when she was like 5 years old, but not after that, and she just.
She'll play like she plays somewhere over the rainbow, beautifully.
And she's always she's still, you know, she just teaches herself up there playing her guitar.
She didn't remember too much and she always and she didn't call her to Hank.
Confusing my kids and everybody because she my dad, she calls my dad my dad, Papa.
Was was that her grandfather or?
And I don't know, maybe it was her grandma.
No, couldn't have been grandfather because they it's just like it's not too far away in generation.
Like, we don't really know but but from.
That she knew that that was him singing.
Hank Williams junior, when she looks at that picture.
Sir, I didn't tell her who those people were in the picture.
I just said, do you know any of these people in this picture?
And she said yes, that baby is.
Just amazing and a lot of things happened at that house.
I have all these stories of, like, she would.
She would come to us and say that she.
She had fallen out of bed one night so hard she she broke her collarbone.
I took her, took her to the hospital.
She she had a sling and everything.
She had a sling on her arm and then she fell.
And after that, she spent an entire night.
She did not go to sleep the entire night, and she was telling us all these ghosts that she.
The point where I couldn't take it anymore.
And I thought she had a traumatic brain injury or something, and I took her to the hospital she hit.
Her head a couple of days ago.
She had to get staples and I'm.
And she's seeing things and I think she's.
She she always wants to be like out there.
She wants she's like, do they need to interview me?
I mean, I told you that story was going.
Like just really takes you on a journey.
You're never like a superstar like.
To hear, like all the little details and like Laurie says.
You know, it was stuff that like, where else would she have gotten that from?
It was like, really vague things.
That a child her age probably shouldn't know.
Like, why would some kid know about New York in the 20s in this hotel?
Mean like, it's stuff that you're like, OK, my kid has never heard of.
This like this is so vagan I don't know where like where.
Would they have come up with this?
I mean a great guest for sure.
