Leftovers – Paranormal Nightshift Story – Episode 97

1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,080
Welcome to Paranormal Night.
Shift your home for all things

2
00:00:03,080 –> 00:00:05,960
that go bump in the dark and
your fan story is told here.

3
00:00:06,560 –> 00:00:11,040
Today’s story comes from Georgia
and it’s called Leftovers.

4
00:00:11,400 –> 00:00:14,320
My husband and I had finally
realized the American dream.

5
00:00:14,720 –> 00:00:16,480
White picket fence and
everything.

6
00:00:16,880 –> 00:00:20,680
It was a gorgeous house, it was
probably built somewhere in the

7
00:00:20,680 –> 00:00:24,320
late 70s and it just was
everything we needed.

8
00:00:24,720 –> 00:00:28,040
A onestory ranch house with a
basement and an attic.

9
00:00:28,760 –> 00:00:31,560
Our kids were in love with it
and it just felt like home.

10
00:00:32,119 –> 00:00:35,560
We were probably at the house
for a year before anything

11
00:00:35,560 –> 00:00:39,480
paranormal started to happen.
Now, basements are inherently

12
00:00:39,480 –> 00:00:42,560
creepy, we can all admit that,
but my husband had this

13
00:00:42,560 –> 00:00:46,240
wonderful idea that he needed a
man cave and I deserved a She

14
00:00:46,240 –> 00:00:49,160
shed right.
The basement was unfinished and

15
00:00:49,160 –> 00:00:51,640
it was the one part of the house
that we hadn’t really spent any

16
00:00:51,640 –> 00:00:54,520
time in.
So as we have started to do our

17
00:00:54,520 –> 00:00:57,700
construction remodeling, we
noticed that there was a lot of

18
00:00:57,700 –> 00:01:01,100
leftover stuff from whoever had
been in the house before.

19
00:01:01,540 –> 00:01:04,660
Boxes of just family heirloom,
maybe.

20
00:01:05,019 –> 00:01:08,860
Nothing of any value.
Papers and just boxes upon

21
00:01:08,860 –> 00:01:11,660
boxes.
Trash is what it felt like.

22
00:01:12,100 –> 00:01:14,740
My husband, thinking that he’s
going to be on the next episode

23
00:01:14,740 –> 00:01:18,820
of American Pickers, thinks
anything old holds value.

24
00:01:19,140 –> 00:01:21,260
Not me.
I thought it was just trash.

25
00:01:21,260 –> 00:01:24,610
He wanted to go through all of
it, so we brought it upstairs

26
00:01:24,610 –> 00:01:28,210
and he started to rifle through
some of the stuff that he had

27
00:01:28,210 –> 00:01:29,730
found down there in the
basement.

28
00:01:30,090 –> 00:01:32,850
He came across a box that had
toys in it.

29
00:01:33,170 –> 00:01:37,050
Choo Choo trains actually, and I
know that there are people out

30
00:01:37,050 –> 00:01:42,370
there who really love trains,
but it just was kind of cool.

31
00:01:42,810 –> 00:01:46,290
It had to have some sort of
value to it, and it had to be at

32
00:01:46,290 –> 00:01:50,450
least 20-30 years old now.
My husband decided he would set

33
00:01:50,450 –> 00:01:53,440
it up for the kids.
As a parent, you understand that

34
00:01:53,440 –> 00:01:55,640
there’s things called one day
toys.

35
00:01:55,960 –> 00:01:58,360
It’ll be really, really cool for
one day.

36
00:01:58,720 –> 00:02:01,760
Then it’ll go back in a box and
live in the box for the rest of

37
00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:05,240
its life.
But this train overwhelmed our

38
00:02:05,240 –> 00:02:07,880
family.
My husband and the kids just

39
00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:09,880
loved it.
They loved seeing the little

40
00:02:09,880 –> 00:02:12,560
smokestack go and and everything
about it.

41
00:02:13,040 –> 00:02:16,080
And the train would go for hours
on hours.

42
00:02:16,080 –> 00:02:18,960
It would never stop.
I I didn’t understand how it

43
00:02:18,960 –> 00:02:21,150
worked.
There were no plugs.

44
00:02:21,150 –> 00:02:23,390
There were no anything like
that.

45
00:02:23,390 –> 00:02:28,230
It it just was it steam.
It would go for hours.

46
00:02:29,030 –> 00:02:33,390
It had this really loud,
screeching train whistle that

47
00:02:33,390 –> 00:02:37,070
would go off periodically.
It eventually got to the point

48
00:02:37,070 –> 00:02:40,110
to where I was tired of it.
Guys, you have to put it up.

49
00:02:40,110 –> 00:02:41,910
I’m tired of hearing the
whistle.

50
00:02:42,710 –> 00:02:46,110
And that’s what they did.
He went and boxed it up and we

51
00:02:46,110 –> 00:02:50,280
just put it in a closet.
But I swear I could keep hearing

52
00:02:50,280 –> 00:02:53,720
the train whistle over and over
again.

53
00:02:54,200 –> 00:02:55,800
It was about 2:00 in the
morning.

54
00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:58,320
I’m laying in bed with my
husband and I hear the train

55
00:02:58,320 –> 00:03:02,200
whistle go off so angry.
One of the kids must have had to

56
00:03:02,200 –> 00:03:04,440
go get it out-of-the-box and
decided to play with it.

57
00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:06,840
We kind of throw this thing away
in the morning.

58
00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:10,040
Sure enough, that morning the
train is set up in the living

59
00:03:10,040 –> 00:03:12,520
room, but none of the kids owned
up to it.

60
00:03:13,040 –> 00:03:15,830
I guess they thought they would
get in trouble, but none of the

61
00:03:15,830 –> 00:03:18,870
kids owned up to pulling the
train out and and messing with

62
00:03:18,870 –> 00:03:22,950
it that night.
Boxed it up again, put it in the

63
00:03:22,950 –> 00:03:25,910
closet.
The same thing happened the next

64
00:03:25,910 –> 00:03:30,030
night and the night after that.
That’s when the paranormal

65
00:03:30,030 –> 00:03:33,310
activity began.
At first I didn’t believe my

66
00:03:33,310 –> 00:03:36,550
children, but they all said they
didn’t mess with it.

67
00:03:37,030 –> 00:03:40,470
The train would just be out in
the morning regardless if I had

68
00:03:40,470 –> 00:03:43,600
boxed it up, regardless where I
put it, the train would be out

69
00:03:43,600 –> 00:03:45,040
in the morning running that
night.

70
00:03:45,120 –> 00:03:48,360
You would always hear the
whistle and the chug of the

71
00:03:48,360 –> 00:03:52,120
train going over and over again
all night long.

72
00:03:52,720 –> 00:03:56,400
I decided that I was going to do
some sort of experiment.

73
00:03:57,240 –> 00:04:00,000
That night.
I was going to put the train in

74
00:04:00,000 –> 00:04:03,920
the box in my closet.
I sat there fighting sleep all

75
00:04:03,920 –> 00:04:06,560
night long.
I even set an alarm for 2:00 in

76
00:04:06,560 –> 00:04:09,920
the morning, but I must have
fallen asleep at some point in

77
00:04:09,920 –> 00:04:14,290
time.
I’m not a very light sleeper, so

78
00:04:14,850 –> 00:04:19,370
something would have woke me up.
If one of my kids went into the

79
00:04:19,370 –> 00:04:23,090
bedroom, grabbed the box and put
it out, I would have known.

80
00:04:23,090 –> 00:04:25,770
I would have heard it.
But sure enough, the next

81
00:04:25,770 –> 00:04:28,370
morning the train was set up in
the living room.

82
00:04:29,530 –> 00:04:31,930
I really became freaked out and
I threw it away.

83
00:04:32,290 –> 00:04:34,690
I threw it in the dumpster and
waited for the trash people to

84
00:04:34,690 –> 00:04:36,650
come and collect it.
It’s gone now.

85
00:04:37,050 –> 00:04:39,850
Lives in the dumpster.
That’s what I said to myself.

86
00:04:41,220 –> 00:04:43,940
But sure enough, the next
morning the train was set out in

87
00:04:43,940 –> 00:04:47,580
the living room again, My
husband and kids all visibly

88
00:04:47,580 –> 00:04:52,540
shaken, not knowing what to do
because it wasn’t menacing, it

89
00:04:52,540 –> 00:04:57,660
wasn’t scary, It was just a toy.
It was just a toy train, but it

90
00:04:57,660 –> 00:05:00,660
kept showing up.
My husband was freaked out and

91
00:05:00,660 –> 00:05:04,140
he said I I I don’t, I can’t, I
can’t explain it, but it has to

92
00:05:04,140 –> 00:05:07,060
get gone.
He bagged it up and went and

93
00:05:07,060 –> 00:05:11,040
threw it away at his work.
I guess he took it with him.

94
00:05:11,120 –> 00:05:13,000
He never told us where he threw
it away.

95
00:05:13,520 –> 00:05:17,640
We never had any other issue out
of the train.

96
00:05:18,440 –> 00:05:22,960
But every now and then at night,
I swear I can still hear that

97
00:05:22,960 –> 00:05:25,640
whistle right around 2:00 in the
morning.

98
00:05:26,240 –> 00:05:29,440
I love stories like this because
it doesn’t always have to be a

99
00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:33,320
creepy doll or something.
Menacing Train just wanted to be

100
00:05:33,320 –> 00:05:36,560
played with and was left in the
house for some reason.

101
00:05:37,380 –> 00:05:40,180
Paranormal Night Shift does a
