Demon in the Tree

Never talk about demons at night, they say. I'll start by saying that
the audio quality of this call was difficult to process, but you can still
understand the story, which coincidentally, along with her other episodes with audio issues,
is a story about demon It is told from the Marshall Islands. My
name is Edmund, and here is the arm true scary story. I believe
this was the late seventies. She found out that she was pregnant with her
first first being my cousin. She was happy, but at the same time,
my uncle started working for an airline Cough Continentally Airline. He just started
working, so he was under probation. He was also on cough. Whenever
they call him and say then there's a plane coming in, he's supposed to
be there. Because he was a night man. We would go almost every
other night. Plates grow from Hawaii, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. He
would go in the middle of the night start working on the planes. My
aunt she would either be parked in the parking lotrary for him, or she
would be at home. Most of the time she would be at home.
There is this one night, just about to go to sleep, she turned
off their TV she got comfortable because they used to live in a trailer.
Would you go inside a trailer on your left, at the end of a
hallse it's like her roomm and the battle and then the hallway to the kitchen
and in the living room. My not like sleeping in the room. She
turned off her TV and she was just about to go to sleep. Do
you know that thing when you're just about well asleep? And she can coming
from the room at the end walking towards her. She felt like somebody was
standing over her. She didn't want to open her eyes because she said she
was scared. She felt like it was forever. She opened her eyes and
she got out, started the rosary, trying to clear her head channel of
her flaming. The next day, her my uncle, her husband. He
came back early in the morning, tired to lead her. Are you angry
because I want to get break friends? They come back to sleep, she
said, yeah, they went to meat out. When they came back to
the house to the trailer my bed. Try to tell my uncle, you
know, when I was trying to go to sleep last night, as I
felt like somebody was getting open looking down at He's just too busy tired to
talk about it, just going probably thinking too much about work. She was
working at the time as a telemarketer. Ipe. This has been going on
for a few months. There is this one time she was washing clothes,
the black shadow standing behind her while she was bent down watching scrubby her clothes,
brushing inside a big bucket brush. She behind her and there was nobody
there. She got really scared. This really escalated when she was on maternity
leave. She was like six seven months prayed already her belly was showing.
There is this one time her in her husband we're arguing about financial stuff.
Right after their argument, she started seeing scratches on her body, on her
chest, her forehead. It was always in threes. She didn't know that.
She's just a little that whenever her and her husband would get into a
fight, she's always trying to calming down and be like, I understand.
She didn't want to get scratched again. One warning she was just sending to
her regard she was cleaning how to read, an old man came out of
the door. He didn't even know her. She didn't even know him too.
He just came out to me and he's like, hy miss I have
a really weird question there. He's going through stuff and she's like, what
kind of stuff are you going through? Anything? Very normal, but she
was being pregnant and woody. She's just like, who's telling you these He's
just like no, no, no, no, no, nobody told me.
I was just walking by kind of felt like something was something was wrong
around this area, and she was just like, yeah, I've been experiencing
some stuff. Why what do you feel like? They really he didn't say
a bad entity. He was just like, like a bad person is looking
at or like a bad person is like spying on me. To stop feeling
he just got my aunt was just like, yeah, I have been going
through some stuff for a while. Now I try to tell my house Dan,
he's not listening to me. She was a wone. Nobody was there
with her. The old man was like, if it okay, can go
do what I was gonna do and come back and help me to see what
this what you're dealing. She's like, I really feel like I'm going crazy.
I keep telling people of all these things and nobody's listening to me,
and you like, okay, I'll be right back. He left him.
I was just going to do what he was about to do that day.
He wasn't even planning on going to my aunt. Thomases be like, hey,
I know you have something. You just walk by and just know where
he had at her heart. He just wanted to see what was happening.
He left me back my aunt binding her nails waiting for him, like to
come back. So he cleaned back and okay, so we're gonna do walk
through your house. I know something's in here, but it's tidy when I
came in. That's what the old man said. He said that this thing
is hiding it knows that The old man was like a marshal leaf healer,
kind of like a white witch led more tapting. But you're beating the demon.
You're not standing overted and just praying. You can also have a handle
lot coconut leaves. You can just hit wear the demonxiety. It just said,
that's when you're fighting with it. They went around the house and he
said, I can't bind it in here. They walked out Clay to my
aunt's garden. Once he got well, so to my aunt's Plumeria tree.
This is a type of tropical flower. You can also find it in laying
He started walking towards it, and he's like, the color of the plume
area is different. Normally a blue maria tree it's either peep red, yellow
or white. He said, it's it looked kind of off, probably because
it was a red one. It was a red plant flower. It kind
of looked brownish range. It wasn't like the color help plue. You can
just look at it in your line. Oh is this tree Okay? It's
weird looking. He walks over to the Pomeria tree. He's like, shoul
might hunty and I think I can hear it, And she's like, what
do you hear? I hear breathing. He starts going around the tree and
the tree there's like a black hole. He was like, this is the
the thing is. This is where the demon is. It's been sleeping in
this in this tree, coming out at night to feed off your fear.
He said, don't do anything to this tree yet. I want to talk
to you before we do anything. They went back into the house. What
people usually do to protect their house, they use salt in front of the
doors or the window protect themselves from bast spirits. We sometimes use these different
kind of plants. We just tied over our room doors or tied in front
of our doors, there's an opening for demons going and out. We also
we can also crush the plasts and wipe into the mirrors of the windows.
Well, leave on a window or a mirror is another way for them to
like spy on. The old man got my aunt back into the house.
He said, seal, seal the entrance. That's what he did. They
got in and he said, what I can tell you right now is that
what you're dealing with is a marshal Ease is a very old engine demon that's
been that's been around since before the missionaries came over to the pacifics or even
for that. There are different types. There are some that can grow as
as coconut trees, anything that you can imagine a pretty tall. There are
somengs that wait until you fall asleep. When you did fall asleep, they
can invade your dream, show you things that that starts you for lying.
There are somes that if you walk into a room and it's all smoke and
foggy, then they say that right when you're in the middle of that smoking
bob, you're gonna start see someone walking pack or walking towards but you can
never see their facing. You can never see what they look like, because
I don't know if there are human spirits that were done wrong before or if
they were just created by the leaders of the tribes back then to protect them
from its like war war towards each other. I guess they would start fighting
and trying to look for a way to wait their war. I can't really
explain immediately. People are just people from where I'm from, from Mars Whim.
They're just gonna be like, oh, we know it. Everybody knows
that. That's how long it's around. He told my aunt, you have
to stick it out until tomorrow. I'll hope you tomorrow at darn yeah,
I'm gonna We're gonna wait until it falls back asleep. If we do it
now, it's either that the man is gonna wake up, run away and
look for somewhere else to hide. If not only gonna bother you more,
but it can also probably bother your baby. Slip your baby around, it
could be bored. I heard that their water broke early, or the baby
flips over in their stomach, or the whole cord like wrapped around the baby's
neck. It's probably superstition, but this is what people usually say. There's
these older women men which is very cautious, very spiritual. And so he
said, I'm gonna leave, and I'm gonna prepare traditional medicine for you and
the baby. I'm gonna bring some stuff firms to fight against this. She
said, what if what if I leave the house? He says, you
can't leave the house because if if you leave walls, that thing might follow
you, might cause you more more hard If you are driving, he could
probably show up in the middle of the road, swerve and hit something.
You might you might just sit in the back of your trouble while you're driving
and it was something to you. He didn't want her to move around because
it's not see. When she found out about it, he said, not
to go around. My husband didn't know my uncle she acted so everything was
burning and she was like, oh, you can go to work, I'll
be here, you can come back whenever. But inside she was like,
no, I really wish did you know what? I was going to listen
to our family? I guess that's what she said. My uncle was like,
why are you being so nice? Why are you telling me to leave
right now? She's just like, nothing, just just go. I'll be
fine. I'm just I'll be fine. Just go. I'm just gonna probably
cook the food and just go to sleep. And he's just a suspicious side
eyeing her. Are you sure I can call him in to say, I'm
I'm going to take you to the hospital, or I can stay we can
watch to move it. And she's just like, no, it's okay,
you can do whatever you can. You're also out of approbation. If you
don't miss a day, it's going to be bad on your record. You
really wanted to work for Continental Airlines. And he's like, okay, I
guess, I guess I can go love you and love you too. That
night, it hit her the hardest because I don't know if that demon knew
that she brought someone in to and get rid of it. Now he started
showing her things was burying in her ear. Whistley tapped me on her on
her window when she was just going crazy. When she was telling me this
part, she started crying and she said, I couldn't let anybody know what
I was going through. If I told anybody the things, we might have
gone to the person I told them about it. Probably hurt them. The
thing likes the hid play tricks on you. It's really annoying to have one.
It's annoying, but it's also very scary. You can also call the
church or Christian church. They're deacons on the pastor whatever. They could come
in and start praying for the house and pray for you and get nap kied
all these things so this demon can go away. But the thing about this
is that it's not gonna go away. This thing is ancient traditional. I
don't know why people say that you can get rid of it, but it's
not by golden tiger. It's not gonna over my ansid. It's not gonna
work. She's been prayed, she got her house less three times or nothing
worked. She got passed her thecoveryto exercise of the house, but nothing.
It was gone for involvement. But it comes back out of nowhere. She
could be like this whole week has the she's washing dishes and when she lifts
up her hand in the window, she could see the thing again standing outside
the windor you find the reflection of it behind her. It's like, really,
he really went through it. The old man came back all right?
Five six in the morning. It was dawn really early in the morning.
He came back and he had additional baby Oriol Coconut leaves a lot of stuff
we brought with it. First of what he did was covered my aunt with
baby Oriel while he was chanting towards her. You have to rap h they
still. He was rubby rubby the rock shoulder all the way to her finger
tips and then her her head down to her toes, and he said,
oh, I'm just I'm just wishing out all the that energy that's sticking with
you. I'm trying to get rid of it. After they were done that,
he started grabbing while he's gonna lead you, started pounding some other plants
in a boat while also champing. Champing. He went outside to the Tavaria
tree and he just went to the he started covering it. He said,
I'm ringing, so it does it. It doesn't come out. So we
started walking that. He told him, it's gonna feel like someone's preston mother
shoulders. You're gonna start feeling a wing on. He started champing. It
ain't a little brown staff. It's not for rocking around. They didn't put
it on you. And then because your spirit is rundling. He started patting
the grown and my aunts started feeling or someone was pushing all of his shoulders
down. There's someone someone on top of him, like an adult, stating
on my sl so dy. He just kept champing, chamming. He started
finding the brown he seem she said, he poor mariage. He started shaking,
and leave started following. He just kept downing. Leaves started following,
and then you can see it. You could see a word up ending started
to go brown, from breeding to brown. It was reading here because I
really thought that forever. He starts cutting it off while he champing. When
the marias he fell, he took out his staff and started beating all the
treat my arm. She can't hear the really whole growl. It was so
she never heard it before, lower a growl. She came here. The
old man just kept beating him. She looked at how the old man who
was beating, and she was. He was beating treat and some top the
bottom. Probably took a few minutes or a nine hour for the old man
to be put day out. The treat died from our health. Grow looking
were all grown and dry. It up. The old massai, okay,
I I think I got the demon. We have to hear burns. I'm
sorry to tell you about your Maybe that doesn't beat the demon. Your blue
marry. She's gonna have any flowers anymore. She's like, it's okay,
I just just want to sleep. He started chanting more like for somep option
and started burning. I started burning it. It was like a different color
when we started throwing the reads and the branch is it. It looks like
somebody was on top of Herfully, there's a smo body or something was on
top of the flag. She was just what is this. He's just said,
that's the demon. You can't see me fight. You can't see you
can't see that whole Since that baby my has well, he's always Christian.
She maaked the old man on a sudden. That old man's family close said,
since forever, I'm talking out with their kids. After the old man
passed forward me he never taught Andy. His kids are what he does.
One of his daughters told him off and said she was old Christian. She
told him off because he wanted to teach you. One of these persons.
His daughter keep herd of her apples, and she was like, don't teach
you for any other things? Are doing? Yeah, doing the Devil's She
just yelling at her dad and then the old man was like, Okay,
I don't teach anybody. This is useful. What if I die and these
things happened to you, what are you gonna do? What if God knows?
What if this doesn't doesn't respond to your prayers, he won't be afraid
of it. It's either I teach you, bas babe, or you go
through. You go through it suffer because you didn't listen to And She's just
like, that is always the answers. That is all the answer we passed
for. I remember I went to the probably such a grade, first grade,
and I was asking my mom. I was like, Mom, who's
this old man? We're kinda see. She was just saying, oh,
I called it. That's how hoose we are to my uncle her school,
that's how they are to is he related to because he he was the only
one that helped out my sister and chief. My sister said to treat him
like the father because he's very carry after both with the dmon what I could
do with they do? For what you did, I'm going to give my
inson, you're in lost me. So my eldest cousin is the only one
with the different and she He is not your blood, but he will always
be your family. The old man passed Fuway, and my cousin grew up.
Nothing happened to Michael when he grew up healthy, came out healthy.
There is this one time she was in her garden and then she found out
someone threw like a pebble at my back, at her back. When she
looked back, it was her husband and he was walking away. But she
knew her husband was inside the trailer. Nobody ever writes writes about these things
because it's like taboo. We tell each other during the day because you can
never talk about it at night. It's bad to talk about Damon that night.
