I always felt like something was watching me

A listener writes “Hi Wes, I listen to your show often, but to tell you the truth I have only really started taking this subject seriously.

I grew up in the country in Southeast Alabama. I lived behind an old country graveyard out in the middle of nowhere, with the nearest neighbor being about a half mile away (my grandparents) and the next closest set of neighbors being about a mile away.

I grew up on 68 forested acres, but I tell you, it was a very heavy feeling place to live. There were lots of animal deaths (dogs, my grandfather’s cows/calves, a horse with neck injuries, horses always in a panic, a goose that had its neck woven in and out of fencing, fences pushed down…which my grandfather always blamed on we kids).
My brother and I thought we lived in a haunted area because we always felt watched. In fact, I slept on the floor of my brother’s bedroom until I was 14 because I always felt something watched me at night.

I could often hear the horses running around my bedroom at night, but the horses never came during the day. It was just a very tense place to grow up…and I have tons of examples I would like to talk to you about. Another strange thing is that although we lived on 68 forested acres, it was basically and animal desert. I remember seeing deer prints perhaps twice in the 12 years or so I lived there. My brother still owns the property and it feels a bit different after it was clear-cut about 5 years ago.

I live in South Korea and had some interesting experiences this past April 2017 when I visited my family who still live there.

On the night of April 23 something lifted the garbage can lid and slammed it down while my father and I were on a porch outside talking.

On April 24, I woke up and went outside to urinate because the bathrooms in my father’s home are near bedrooms and I didn’t want to wake anyone up. Something big growled at me when I was urinating.

On april 25 at 3:20 in the morning something roared/howled?? three times and woke me up. I am a light sleeper and i was the only one who woke up and heard it.

My father’s home is about 3 miles from the home in which I grew up and it is connected by a corridor of woodlands. Also, my father says his home is haunted because he sometimes hears a knock or something hit the walls. There are some other strange things that have happened there.

Anyway, I would really love to talk with you. I want to speak with someone about this who doesn’t think I am a nutter, for connecting this really strange coincidences, in a specific area, over the years, in a way in which I do.

My story is not a visual story, just lots of pieces in a puzzle. I’m not very interested in being on the podcast, but I would be willing to if that would make you more interested in speaking with me. I really just want someone to help me confirm my thoughts/experiences or to say that they are likely just unrelated events that seem strange when pieced together. It would really help me have a sense of closure about my experiences.

I live in South Korea, and although there is a time difference, I would be happy to arrange a time to call you and chat about this if you are interested.”
