I wake up, I'm sort of disoriented and I don't understand why I'm awake and I sort of realize the same thing is happening. To my left there's coming a sound. But this time his mouth is open and it's his voice but it's not like a sentence. It's just a string of filth and vulgar words. And it's just none of them make sense, they're just words. And they're coming out of his mouth. And it's the same thing I feel this incredibly oppressive presence. And there's like something right next to my face. Like I can feel that it wants to harm me. And at that moment I feel something to my right. And then my son at the foot of my bed starts making the sound of someone killing a goat. The history of our Earth is so different from what we can imagine. The Smithsonian, and if they found out about a large skeleton somewhere, was to go get it. I'm going to assume at least one person is right because if one person's right it must have passed the paradigm. It all goes back to the fallen cherub. And the problem with the modern day church, they have a very truncated view of the supernatural. This backdrop is just pregnant with all kinds of meaning associated with this Mount Hermon event. And this guy defects from the kingdom. That's a big deal. Welcome back to Blair Creatures. Just a minute ago, Luke said, are you ready Nate? And uh... You're excited? You've been chasing a cat. I was chasing a cat and these pants were too tight. But yeah, we're always ready to go back and have another interesting story of Blair Creatures. And I think some people think why these stories, why people's member stories and people that are part of the community. And I think as Christians often we come up with wild explanations or very limited explanations for the things that happen to us or the things that happen in our world. We sort of limit God and or relegate Jesus to a magician. If we just say his name, everything will be great in our lives. And I think a lot of times people don't understand that people suffer and go through traumatic experiences for years. And so I think these stories are helpful because they expand our need for God and they expand our understanding of the realms that were kind of in the middle between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of darkness. And people have wild stories in between. So welcome to the show, Susanna. I'm excited about this one. Like, you know, one of the things we've been doing with the community is asking folks if they've got stories to submit them. And Susanna submitted her story, which we're going to get into very shortly. But as you said, I think what's interesting about the way that Blair Creatures has evolved is there's an aspect to our show, which is sort of the first person, the eyewitness, the person on the ground that said, how'd the experience? We can, we talk a lot about theology and we talk about, we talked to, you know, academics and doctors and learned people that, that they've written books and been published. But oftentimes the most impactful stories are those people who have actually been through the experience. And so Susanna, you've got a wild story, but if you're at all familiar with Blair Creatures, we'd love to baptize you, if you will, into the Blair Burst and ask you first and foremost, what are your thoughts on Bigfoot? Welcome to the show. Thank you for the welcome. I'm very familiar with Blair Creatures. But honestly, I, I have been zero background with the, except for being raised in the 80s and 90s and sort of the shows like Harry and, Harry and the Henderson's, like nothing. But ever since my experience, it's kind of like, when you go through something that you're like, if I told anybody this, I would be looked at so crazy. You begin to listen to other people's stories in a way that you never would have before. Because I wouldn't have believed my story. I probably would not have believed somebody who said they countered Bigfoot until I went through what I went through. And now I'm like, I would listen to anybody's story and believe it when it comes to stuff like that. Where did your story start? That's a good, that's a good segue. Well, probably when we moved to the Ozarks from Southern California in 2013, we bought in really, really old farmhouse. So it's kind of like, they had this like original foundation, like way, way back that they didn't even have the dates at the record office. And then there was a house and then they built on and added on and added on. So super old. We moved there in 2013 and adopted my youngest the month we moved there. So that's kind of where it begins. I didn't love the house when we moved there. It felt just, I don't know, I'd set vacant for quite a while. So, but I didn't notice anything directly off in the house. I immediately adopted my son as an infant and he was my youngest of four. And I just noticed something was wrong with him. And so all of my attention just sort of went to that. Did you say you bought it or you rented it? Bought it. Okay. Yeah. In the Ozarks too. Yeah. Yeah, I had no idea what I was getting into coming from Orange County. So it was quite- How long was that house sitting there? You think? It was sitting there over a year vacant. Yeah. So, you know, I had, and the people had left like their stuff. So like you'd open a closet and there was like their clothing and- It's weird. It is. Wow. They left box and boxes of like old pictures and family heirlooms in the chicken coop. Like, and I had contact with them. I was like, do you want your stuff? And they were like, no, no, we're good. So it was a little bizarre. It was a little stumble in the woods and they see an abandoned campsite and it's just perfect. And you're like, wait a minute. Something happened here, you know. That's just a creepy start. You're like, people didn't want to bring their stuff. Yeah. It's not like they couldn't go back and get their stuff at any point in the last year. So did you leave in a hurry? Yeah. I mean, to be fair, they did go through a divorce. So they might have just been washing their hands of everything. I don't really know. But my son, as soon as I brought him home, he was about five days old. He just, he had a lot of issues. He screamed all the time. So there was some medical issues. But he just seemed to be scared of everything and he really, really struggled. So all my attention just sort of went to him and it went into kind of starting a homestead, which is some of my goals for that place. So I was getting cattle and goats and chickens and, but really where it started was in 2017, in August, my sister and her boyfriend came to stay with us. We had this like old apartment in this building across the street, across our driveway. And so it was like a little guest house and her and her boyfriend came because they were trying to build a tiny house on wheels and they wanted to use our workshop. So they moved there and it was just kind of like so many things kept happening at this house. Like the minute we moved there, there was car wrecks all the time in front of our house. So it was like the first couple of years we were there, there was four and one of them was a fatal car wreck and I was the first on the scene and I witnessed it. And this kind of ties into this sort of long string of sort of trauma that this house seems to oddly attract. But we were just pulling people out of cars like every six months to a year. It was really, really bizarre. People were driving through our pastures, crashing into our fencing, like I said, I attended a fatal car wreck right out front. And then my sister moved there in August and at the end of August, my dog gets hit by a car right in front of me and just so traumatic, just obliterated just right in front of me. And it was really, really hard. And so I got an opportunity to go to an adoptive mom's retreat. I had never left my kids, like never. And I was just exhausted. I had my, my, my baby was a couple of years old and he just was so hard. And I had gone through all those things and saw my dog die and I was like, I'm going to this retreat. It's a weekend. I'm going. And so I went and right before that, actually a friend had come out to visit in July and I was telling her all the things that was happening. I was telling her a lot of weird things that was going on with my youngest son. And she said, do you think it's spiritual? Like, do you think there's like warfare going on? And I was like, I remember actually like in my mind, like kind of rolling my eyes and being like, not everything is spiritual. Like there is adoption trauma and this is an old house and my husband struggles with things. And, and so I had compartmentalized every single thing that was happening. I didn't think it was spiritual at all. I didn't grow up in a Christian home. I didn't become a believer until I was 19 and I was mostly Baptist. So the amount of like spiritual warfare we talked about in church was like nothing. It's like native spirits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I, I didn't, I didn't know anything. And then I went to this adoptive mom's retreat. In the last night we were there on a Sunday or a Saturday night going into Sunday. They said, we're going to gather around every person this year and we're going to pray over them. And I was like, okay. Like, and it took like all night. They were spending just a ton of time just laying hands and praying on each woman. All of us were sharing our burdens and our heartaches with some of the harder parts about adoption. It's such a blessing, but there's challenges in it. And so they got to me and they were praying for me. And a couple of them had just felt led to pray protection over me, pray against spiritual warfare. And I was kind of confused by that, but I was like, okay, because I hadn't asked for that. And then I come home, I walk in my door. I was so excited to see my kids and I'm hugging them and I'm excited. And it is like the only way I can explain it is like veil, like a veil had been lifted, scales had come off my eyes and I just knew that they were there. I have no other way to explain it, but I knew like with every fiber of my being, I knew my house was filled with something. What do you mean Savannah? What do you mean by they? Um, like I just like something like spiritual or spirit, like just, I didn't know if it was ghosts. I didn't know if it was demons. I didn't know what it was. I just knew it was there. And so I'm hugging my kids and I just start praying in my heart against them. And the best way I could describe the next five months is that as soon as they knew that I knew, it was like, oh, okay, then we're not going to stay in the background. So then it's like the game sort of shifted to, um, terrorizing me and my house. So from that moment, the moment I got home from that retreat, all kinds of weird stuff began happening. What was the first thing that they did to you? Mike started doing? One of the things is just like shifting shadows. Like you would be standing doing something and it's like someone walked past you and you're like looking and no one's there. And that was happening a lot, like six, seven times a day. Like you can see the shadow go right past you. And then, um, like I would go to the bathroom and someone would move the handle of the doorknob, like jiggling it. And I would always think it was my kids like, hey, mom's at the back and leave me alone. And it would not be my kids. Is anybody else starting to experience this like your kids? So I'm going to get to that. At this point, I'm sort of holding it in my heart. I don't want to scare my kids. So I'm getting a little creeped out and some things are happening. Like we were watching a movie two nights later and a glass shoots off of our counter and falls to the tile floor or to the floor and breaks. And we're just like how we're sitting in there and just doesn't make any sense. And my kids were kind of confused. And then like another night, I don't remember the timeline, but it was a couple of nights later, we were watching a movie and there was the sound of the baby crying, like scream crying all the way in the back of the house. It was a really long house and we're on this side and it was coming from here and I'm like, it doesn't sound like my son's cry. My youngest at all sounds like an infant, but I get up to go check on my son and he is out. He is absolutely asleep. And so I go back and my kids are like, what the heck was that sound?
