1.ENTRANCE TO HELL
In 2010 an avid caver named jeff decided to go to madagascar to explore a natural cave shaft he had discovered years earlier he arrived in country he got a rental car and he hired a guide to take him out to the area where he knew this cave was going to be when he got out to that area he used his notebook where he had taken notes the last time he was here and he used that to find the opening to the cave he paid the guide to stick around at the car while he went down and explored this cave he insured him it was not going to be for a very long time the shaft was approximately 50 meters deep and one meter across so it's pretty narrow and the first 20 meters of the descent are on a bit of an angle and then the final 30 meters are down at a straight vertical drop at the bottom of this cave was this opening where you could actually stand up and walk around but there were no other tunnels to explore at the bottom so you would just go down touch the bottom and go back up the visibility inside of the shaft was limited because all you had was the light that was coming in and because of how narrow the opening was jeff's body would obscure a lot of the sunlight coming in so once jeff got a few meters down into the tunnel he would rely on his headlamp so jeff enters the cave and he makes his way down to the 20 meter mark so that's where the tunnel goes from being on an angle to being straight and he's about to make that final descent down that final 30 meters when he notices something out of the corner of his eye and he focuses his light on the side of the shaft and he sees thousands of black widow spiders trying to escape the light they're scattering all over the walls and he looks around him and he realizes from his position down on the vertical section of the shaft is covered in black widow spiders as much as jeff wanted to stop right there and go right back up to the surface he couldn't in order to go back up this line that he was repelling down on he needed technical gear and his technical gear was packed in his backpack and it would just be totally unsafe trying to fish it out of his bag and so he would have to descend the final 30 meters to the bottom then take his pack off get the gear out and go back up so jeff took a deep breath and he began his slow awful descent into this cave filled with spiders and periodically as he would bump into the wall he'd hear them scatter all over the walls and then he saw them climbing on his sleeves and he'd have to brush them off the sleeves he saw them on the rope he's trying to brush them off he finally gets to the bottom and he can hear the spiders on the wall just crawling all over the place he takes his bag off and it's covered in spiders he opens it up spiders crawl out of his bag he carefully reaches in and pulls out his technical gear he throws it up and he begins making his way back up and the whole time just brushing spiders off of him once he gets to the surface the first thing he does is he strips all of his clothing off to get all the spiders off of his clothing he takes his bag dumps it out more spiders are in there afree finally brushes all the spiders off he redresses and gets in the car and you can only imagine what the guide was thinking as he's watching this guy this foreigner taking his clothes off after being in this cave but luckily he doesn't get bit he gets in the car with the guide and they start heading back towards the city as they're driving he takes his notebook out and he scratches off the title he had given this cave from the last time he was here which was the crooked tube he scratches that out and on top of it he writes the entrance to hell.
2.PINE TREE FARM
In 2006 a 14 year old boy named evan lived on a farm in north carolina this was not a typical farm with animals and crops it was a pine tree harvest tree pine needles are a big landscaping commodity and evan and his family made their living bailing pine straw every year as such their main living house on the farm was situated right in the middle of 550 acres of perfectly lined up pine trees they did not have any neighbors nearby and there was only one road that led into the property which from the main house they could look out and basically see through the rows of trees all the way to the beginning of this road which meant any visitors were really easy to spot the main house was built on a very slight hill which meant one side of the house was effectively built on stilts to compensate for the angle and on that side of the house on the first floor was the living room so anyone who was in the living room looking out the window they basically need to look at a downward angle to see the ground it would actually seem like you were on the second floor but really you're on the first floor the window in the living room was very unique it stretched almost the entire length of the room so almost 50 feet across and at night you could see animals darting between the different trees because you could see down the rows and so that was pretty creepy and then just the fact that this window is so big if you're in the living room at night you just felt really exposed so between the creepy animals running around and the level of exposure and vulnerability people basically avoided the living room anytime they were in the house at night that winter evan's cousin came to stay with him on his farm and because the main house did not have any extra bedrooms evan and his cousin would have to sleep in the living room there were two couches inside of the living room one that was right underneath the 50 foot long window and then another which was on the other side of the room against a wall that did not have a window and so evan would be sleeping on the couch right under the window and his cousin will be sleeping on the other couch the first night evan's cousin was there they put this big sheet up over the window but it only blocked like 75 of the window the two flanks of the window were still exposed but where the couches were lined up they were kind of blocked by this sheet so it gave them a little bit of privacy after goofing around for a while the boys finally fell asleep around midnight and then they woke up a couple hours later because they heard evan's dogs barking way off in the pine trees now evan was used to his dogs running around the property and barking at other smaller animals and so just them barking was not necessarily a red flag but the barking persisted to the point where evan's cousin got up off the couch moved across the room to the opening of the window that was not covered by the sheet at the foot of where evan was sleeping now evan was still laying on the couch he was not going to get up and look out the window so he's looking down at his cousin kind of looking at his face to get some sort of a read on what he's seeing and he notices his cousin has this really perplexed look on his face like he's squinting his eyes and trying to make sense of what he's looking at and so evan looks at him and says hey what's going on what do you see and his cousin's like i don't know if my mind's playing tricks on me or not but i'm i'm pretty sure i see people out there at this evan jumps off the couch and runs over and butts up right next to his cousin so he can look out the window too and he's scanning out amongst the rows of trees because there's just a mile of pine trees and the first thing he notices is the moon is very bright that night so there's good illumination and there was a light snow covering on the ground which really added to the illumination he's looking out maybe 100 meters when he sees someone's leg extend from behind one of the pine trees as if they're stepping into the space between a pine tree column and he's staring at it and he can't believe he's even seeing anyone walking around this area because he didn't see anybody come in on the road and they have no neighbors and so he's looking and then a body follows the leg a person walks from one row to the next this tall dark figure just walks calm as can be between the two pine trees and evan just grabs his cousin and he's like did you just see that and his cousin's like yeah i saw that and so they continue to look in the direction of where this person crossed the path and after a couple of minutes they see another leg now emerging going the other way back towards where that first person had come from so the leg kind of extends into this gap and this tall figure walks across into the next row except now instead of going just directly across it looks like they're moving at an angle closer to the main house property the boys look at each other and they don't know what to do so they just keep looking out the window in stunned silence and as they're looking they see this person emerge again except now they're not 100 meters away they're like 20 meters away they don't know how they were able to move that quickly without being seen and this time when the leg comes out from behind the pine tree instead of walking across the gap it stops right in the middle and it turns and looks directly at the boys in the window and then begins running toward them the boys practically fall over trying to get away from the window evan's yelling for his father upstairs and the boys instinctively just start running around the house locking every door shutting every window and as they're going from door to door the anxiety is growing and growing because they think if i don't get there fast enough this person who is running towards the property is going to come barging through that door and so at every door their anxiety is through the roof but they manage to shut everything everything is locked right as evan's father comes charging down the stairs he's got his gun in hand and he's like what's going on and they say there's someone out in our property their dad charges out the front door the front door is not on the same wall as the living room it's on the side of the house so once he goes outside he's going to need to turn to the right to look out in the direction they were describing he bombs outside he stays in the porch and he starts yelling at whoever's out there that if you come over here i'm gonna shoot you get the f away from here and then there's silence and the boys are waiting they're looking around they're checking the window they don't see anything the dad comes back inside he shut and locks the door and he tells evan keep an eye out if you see him again you let me know evan would reflect on this experience later on and say you know we really should have called 9-1-1 at that point but as a kid i just understood that that's the way my family did business we kind of took care of ourselves and so even though there is a threat of some stranger who's running at our property we were not going to call the cops and so his dad effectively was telling him to be a lookout and so evan and his cousin they go back into the living room and they kind of go up to the window they're a little bit apprehensive and they're looking out and after five ten minutes of looking out the window and not seeing anything they're thinking to themselves you know evan's dad's a pretty intimidating guy and he was just out there screaming and yelling with a gun threatening to shoot them so they've probably got the message and they're probably gone and so the boys got back into their couches and it took them a while but they did ultimately fall asleep the next morning when the boys got up the first thing they wanted to do was go out there and see if they could find footprints from this person to kind of confirm it really was a person because part of them thought you know maybe we didn't see that maybe that was our imaginations they don't know and so they start by going out the front door so not on the same wall as the living room they go out the front door they turn and they walk down into the trees and they're looking around and they find some footprints so they're confirming to themselves okay there was someone out here it wasn't us this is not our footprints we found them so they start following the footprints back towards the property and they realize at some point there are two distinct sets of footprints there were two people out here and even worse is they followed them all the way up to the house and there were two different circles of footprints that stopped right underneath the living room window along the two flanks of the window where the sheet was not covering which means over the course of the night when evan and his cousin were up at that window looking out there's a good chance that one or two strangers were tucked up against the side of the house and they would not have seen them because of the angle out of the living room window it was steep because of the stilts it was on and so anybody that was tucked up along the side they'd be in a blind spot and then for sure after evan and his cousin got back into bed and were sleeping there were two strangers who were right up against those windows probably pulling themselves up to look inside when evan's father found these footprints he immediately grabbed his gun and tried to follow them back into the woods to see where they came from but unfortunately the snow cover wasn't complete and at some point they lost the tracks and they never figured out who those two people were evan would say following this event his cousin refused to ever come back over his house for a sleepover.
3.THE WOMAN IN BLACK
In october of 2005 a 21 year old named nathan was back home in elk grove california visiting his mother at her apartment for a couple of days her apartment was part of this really safe complex it was gated there's lots of lights and cameras so anything that went bump in the night was just gonna be you know your noisy neighbors or something on the last night of nathan stay he was laying in his bed in the guest room listening to the hum of the street lamp that was outside and the crickets and the passing by of cars when he drifted off to sleep at about 2 am nathan woke up or so he thought he couldn't move his body he could only move his eyes and even though he had never experienced sleep paralysis before he instinctively understood this is probably that he noticed the room was completely silent there was no more crickets no more hum of the light outside no more traffic just total silence and then he started flashing his eyes around the room because he couldn't move his head or his body and he started taking stock of the room the bed he was in was positioned as far away from the door as he could in the back right corner from where he was laying if he looked to his right in that corner was this big armoire and then moving left from the armoire as he scanned the room you come to the door which is on the opposite side of where his bed was and then if he kept scanning left he would reach the foot of his bed and just beyond the foot of his bed was a table and a chair but because he was laying flat he couldn't really look down and actually see the table and chair and so with all of his strength he managed to raise his head just enough that he had a line of sight to that section of his room the only section he has not looked at yet and he sees the table and chair and he sees in the corner is this dark figure that's standing there looking at him he's completely frozen with fear his thought is there's an intruder in the house how did they get in here what are they doing in here and he managed to keep his head up just long enough to get a decent look at this dark figure and he determined it was most likely a woman with a shawl covering her face and before his head fell back to the pillow he saw her suddenly crouched down on the ground out of view and then nathan's head fell back and now he knows there's just some stranger in his room and he can't lift his head up anymore and he's looking around with his eyes he sees the armoire he sees the door he can't see that table and chair and then he hears the sound of someone slithering along the ground out of view and you can hear her breathing and she's getting closer and closer to the edge of the bed and he's laying there terrified he's so scared he can't even make a sound and he's telling himself this has to be a dream wake up wake up wake up and he's laying there and this woman she stands up and she leans out over his bed and she looks at him and her face is pale and her eyes are sunk way back in her head then she begins to slowly crawl on top of him and nathan's sitting here looking at this woman he wants to close his eyes but he can't and he just feels his chest being pressed down he can hear the sounds of the springs compressing all around him as this woman positions herself on his chest and then he finally manages to let out a scream and then suddenly he's awake the woman's gone he sits up and he's looking around there's nobody in his room the familiar hum of the light and the crickets and the traffic outside they all return and his mom comes running in the room and she's like hey are you okay i heard screaming in here he said oh no i i had i had a bad dream i'm fine now i had a terrible dream but i'm fine now and his mom's like okay uh all right you need anything and he's like nope so she comes over she gives him a hug and a kiss she goes back to bed and he would go downstairs flip on a disney movie actually aladdin and he would fall asleep with a disney movie on and with lights on and there was no more sleep paralysis that night the next day nathan got up and headed back to his house and he really he couldn't shake the experience he had never had sleep paralysis before but it was just so much more terrifying than he ever would have imagined and he's just thinking to himself i can't believe there are people that put up with this on any sort of regular basis but you know after a couple of days and getting home and not experiencing any sleep paralysis you know time went on and he just kind of forgot about it a few months later in march of 2006 nathan is at this big family party in chico california big outdoor barbecue all of his family's there and at some point his sister shows up his sister was not supposed to be attending this party so it was a great surprise he hasn't seen her in a while and he immediately pulls her aside to catch up with her and so for the first hour of their conversation they're just chatting about their lives and what they're up to towards the end of their conversation nathan suddenly felt compelled to share his sleep paralysis experience with his sister and the reason he wanted to was because he knew that she knew that he was actually a skeptic and so she would believe him if he's telling her this is what happened she would believe that that's what he saw and so he starts by saying you know i had the weirdest experience at mom's apartment just a couple of months ago i'm pretty sure it was sleep paralysis and his sister immediately butts in and she goes wait a minute i had sleep paralysis for the first time in my life two weeks ago at mom's apartment it was horrible i was in the guest room and then i saw this this woman and she was like standing on me i thought i was gonna die it was horrible that's exactly what happened to me i was laying in the guest room and i couldn't move and then i saw a woman in the corner and she she stood on my chest they proceeded to go over all the details of each of their stories and they discovered that they had had almost the exact same experience and at the end of it they wanted to have a rational explanation for how they both could just somehow have their only sleep paralysis experience in the same room and roughly the same timeline and experience the exact same events they were trying to you know come up with a with a rational explanation for that but it was just too much of a coincidence but ultimately neither of them were really prepared to start discussing what else it could be so they decided to just kind of laugh it off and say man that's pretty weird and they moved on after the party was over nathan would go back to his house and he would tell his wife about this crazy coincidence he and his sister had had and his wife would say yeah that that's wild but after that nathan just did not want to think about it or talk about it and so he kind of just you know pushed it out of his mental space and didn't forget about it he moved on five months later in august of 2006 nathan's mom would move out of that apartment building and she would move into a two-story house still in elk grove california shortly after she moved in she asked nathan if he would come spend a couple nights with her and nathan said sure in order to better understand what happens to nathan over the course of his stay at his mother's new house you need to understand a basic layout of her house so when you walk through her double doors to your left is going to be a formal living room in the center of the house is a hallway that shoots straight back to the kitchen and then to your right right when you walk in there's a wall and on that wall is the stairs leading up to the second floor if you take those stairs to the second floor you reach a landing where there's a window that looks back into the backyard and immediately to your right there is a single door and that's the master bedroom where nathan's mom would sleep from the landing if you turned left there'd be another door that's a mirror image of the master bedroom door and this door is the guest room that's where nathan was going to stay and then to the left of the guest room was a hall that went to the front of the house but that's irrelevant to the story if you went inside the guest room the bed was located in the back right corner so the same layout as the guest room in the apartment building where the person laying in the bed so nathan his feet would be closest to the door and from nathan's perspective in the bed the only other piece of furniture in this new house guest room was a table that was from his perspective on the right-hand wall centered on the wall and on the table was a tv so that's the only things in the room the first night nathan was at this new house was totally uneventful the second night not so much he was up in the guest room laying on the bed watching tv the lights are off it's just the tv on and at some point he dozes off he wakes up a short time later and he can't move it's the same sensation he had when he was staying with his mom at her apartment and he begins to panic because the last time he felt this way a strange veiled woman stood on his chest and made it feel like he was dying and so immediately he's trying to move his body he can't and so using his eyes he starts looking around the room praying this woman is not in the room with him and so he looks to the right to that corner which he can see there's no one there from this corner he starts scanning across the room he sees the tv it's still on he keeps scanning and he sees the door and it's open and then he scans and he's able to just barely make out the space at the foot of the bed he can actually see to the corner and this woman she's not in here and so initially he feels incredibly relieved that she's not in the room with him but then he finds himself focusing on the open door into the dark hallway and he's thinking to himself please please do not come walking through that door and so he stares at the open door just hoping he breaks out of the sleep paralysis when he notices something about the tv it's flickering and so he averts his gaze to the tv and he realizes what he's looking at on tv does not look familiar it does not look like a tv show it looks like cctv camera footage like it looks like a security camera footage and he realizes the footage he's looking at is the inside of his mother's kitchen downstairs he recognized the way it was laid out that's his mother's house that's downstairs and he's staring at the footage thinking why is this footage playing on the tv and i don't think there's a camera down there when he notices on the camera the woman with the veil walks into the middle of the frame and she looks up at the camera right as the camera turns off and then the room is completely dark there's no more ambient light in the room the hallway is dark and he's left paralyzed knowing this woman is downstairs in the kitchen and as he's laying there he hears her start running through the house and it sounds like an animal is barreling into things that she's running through the bottom floor and she stops at the foot of the stairs and he's thinking to himself i know where she's going she's coming up to my room and so as he's laying there he feels his heart racing and he's staring at the open door he knows she's going to come flying up those stairs and she's going to come through that door and instead of running up the stairs he hears her take one step two step and as she's making her way up the stairs he's just thinking please break out of this trance stop this paralysis wake up wake up and then he sees her head emerge and she turns to look at him from the stairs into the room and once she sees it's him she bolts around and starts charging into the room on all fours like an animal at this point nathan lets out a primal scream he is scared for his life as this woman is charging towards him and she stops dead in her tracks right in the middle of the room she looks at him turns around and crashes out of the room charges downstairs and then it's silent as soon as she was downstairs nathan could sit up except it did not feel like the first time he had sleep paralysis at his mom's apartment when he sat up and he had the sensation of of relief you've woken up you were asleep before now you're awake this time it was like he was always awake but now he can sit up he did not have a sense of relief in fact he was worried she was still in the house and as he's sitting up in bed his mother comes running into the room she looks disheveled she's half asleep and she's like was that was that you were you running around the house i could have sworn i heard someone running around the house was that you nathan's looking at her and he can't even process what he's been through whether that was real whether it was a dream and he's trying to find the words to describe to his mom the dream he had but like he can't he can't process what's happening and he just says mom we have to check the house we have to make sure no one's in the house and so the two of them flip on every light upstairs they're not even talking at this point it's survival mode they turn on all the lights upstairs and nathan leads the way down they're flicking on all the lights and they manage to search the whole house and there's no sign of a break-in there's no one in their house after the coast was clear and they felt like they were not in immediate danger they went into the kitchen to kind of talk about what just happened and so nathan's like okay mom i i just gotta tell you everything that i'm thinking right now i i can't really process what just happened i think it was a bad dream but i'm starting to think that it could be something else or i'm just losing my mind so a few months ago i was sleeping in your guest room in your apartment and i had an experience that i'm almost positive was sleep paralysis you know i i was laying there i couldn't move and this figure was in the room and they were standing on me it was terrifying but it sounded an awful lot like sleep paralysis but then i a couple months after that i talked to my sister and i told her about it and she told me that very recently right before you moved into this house actually she was in that room and she also had basically the exact same experience she had never had sleep paralysis before i had never had sleep paralysis before so we basically had the exact same horrifying experience in the same room around the same time and then just now tonight i had another sleep paralysis experience with the same woman who's running around the house and you just said you heard her running around the house his mom looked really concerned but she wasn't shocked she says to nathan i have seen this woman i saw her in my apartment way long time ago but i remember what you're describing that's the experience i had this woman you know showed up in the room and she stood on me and i it scared the heck out of me but i didn't tell anyone because i thought it was sleep paralysis and so nathan and his mom proceeded to spend the next several hours just talking through what this could be how could they all three of them you know him his mom and his sister how could all of them have had the exact same experience and how could tonight when nathan had this experience how could his mom have heard those footsteps if that was indeed sleep paralysis because it wasn't nathan he was in the bedroom and it wasn't his mom she was in her bedroom and she didn't have any pets so who could it be nathan says he and his family are still totally rattled by this experience and they don't have an answer and this is a family of skeptics so they're not looking for a reason to call this paranormal they simply don't have the answers nathan has said that he his mom and his sister have not had any further experiences with the woman in black ever since that last experience nathan had and they're just hoping it stays that way so that's gonna do it guys.
