The hope of a new life and new dreams shattered by a ghostly intruder lurking in the shadows.

“Is anybody out there?” A man in search of lost love, but he’s got the wrong woman.

“I saw you kissing him when past and present collide,” whispers echo in the darkness.

“You were out with some guy, weren’t you? Weren’t you?” A family hangs in the balance.

“I felt overwhelmed with anger and couldn’t figure out why,” the air thickens with dread.

“Your erratic, possessed behavior terrified me,” Mariah whispers, her voice trembling.

In 2012, Mariah and Paul Jones moved to a small town outside Omaha to raise their daughter, Lily. Utan was a very family-friendly place to be, and it’s a good community. Everyone comes together, and it’s tight-knit.

“We needed a home that was perfect,” Paul recalls, “a place to raise our family.”

Lily thought their new house was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. “It’s going to be great,” she exclaimed.

The neighborhood seemed perfect for Lily, with kids her age running around. “Why don’t you go play with the other kids?” Mariah suggested.

Over the next few days, the Jones family settled comfortably into their new home. But strange occurrences began to unsettle them.

“What are you waving to? There’s no one there,” Mariah’s voice quivered.

One evening, as Mariah returned home, she felt the presence of someone lurking in the darkness. “Is anybody out there?” she called out, her voice trembling.

The feeling of unease lingered, casting a shadow over their once-idyllic life. And as the days passed, the presence grew stronger, its intentions more sinister.

Whispers echoed through the halls, secrets whispered by unseen lips. And soon, the Jones family realized they were not alone in their new home.

“Whoa, did I scare you? I could have sworn somebody was watching me,” Paul chuckled nervously, trying to shake off the unease. “It’s just one of those weird feelings, and I just got all paranoid. You want me to check outside?”

“I thought it was just her nerves or something like that,” Mariah reassured herself. “I told her it’s no big deal. It’s a new house; it’s how it goes. It’s something new for all of us, after all those years of living in an apartment. I just need to get used to all this space.”

“Yeah, I think we all do. Come on, let’s go to bed,” Paul suggested, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Over the next few days, Mariah tried to forget about the frightening event. “I was the new person in the neighborhood, so I just figured people are checking me out, trying to figure out, you know, who’s this family that moved in.”

But the unsettling feeling lingered, lurking in the corners of her mind.

One evening, as Mariah returned home late from work, tension hung heavy in the air. “Mommy, where were you?” Lily’s voice trembled with worry.

“It took me forever to get out of there tonight,” Mariah sighed, exhaustion evident in her voice. “That last appointment was such a diva.”

“He got real short with me,” Mariah continued, her voice faltering. “It seemed to come out of nowhere.”

“I’m sorry, honey. I was just trying to finish up as fast as I could,” Paul interjected, his tone strained. “But you’re right, I should have called.”

“It’s not like I was out partying,” Mariah defended herself. “It’s exactly what you were doing. You were out with some guy, weren’t you? Weren’t you?”

“I know you’ve been cheating on me. I can feel it,” Paul accused, his voice rising with anger.

“What are you saying?” Mariah’s heart raced with panic. “Let’s not do this now, not in front of Lily.”

But the confrontation left Mariah shaken to her core. “I was afraid. I had no idea what was going on with him. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to think.”

Ever since the Jones family moved into their new house, Mariah noticed a drastic change in Paul’s personality. “He was being troubled by something. Was it something I had done wrong?”

As tensions mounted, Mariah’s fear intensified. “I heard the gunshot clear as day. I was terrified.”

And Mariah wasn’t the only one affected. Paul’s strange behavior drove a wedge between him and Lily. “She was just confused. I tried to hide it as much as I could.”

But when Lily mentioned seeing a man around the house, Mariah’s blood ran cold. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s someone in the house.’ What do I do?”

As whispers of doubt and fear filled the air, Mariah braced herself for the horrors lurking within her own home.

Paul and Mariah found themselves embroiled in a tumultuous argument, their voices rising in a cacophony of anger and accusation.

“I don’t want another man touching you!” Paul’s voice thundered, his eyes ablaze with fury.

“What is your problem? You don’t own me!” Mariah shot back, her tone defiant.

The air crackled with tension as their argument escalated. “I can hang out with whoever I want,” Mariah insisted, her voice tinged with frustration.

“I’m giving you everything! I never want to see you again!” Paul’s voice echoed through the room, filled with desperation and rage.

Then, in an instant, a strange energy enveloped the room, suffusing it with an otherworldly presence. “There’s no way to describe what that felt like,” Mariah recalled, her voice trembling with fear. “There was something everywhere, surrounding me.”

As the argument raged on, Mariah felt a chill run down her spine. “He’s standing there, just looking at me,” she recounted, her voice barely above a whisper. “That’s who’s in my house.”

For weeks, a disturbing presence had plagued the Jones family home, growing stronger with each passing day. “Things kept getting worse and worse in the house,” Mariah lamented, her voice filled with fear.

With her daughter now involved, Mariah knew she had to act. “I was in such a state of panic,” she admitted, her voice shaking. “I just wanted to run away and pretend like it didn’t happen.”

Desperate for answers, Mariah turned to the internet, searching for any clue that could help her make sense of the chaos. “I came across a group that investigates paranormal activity,” she explained, her voice tinged with hope.

With time running out, Mariah knew she had to confront her husband about the truth. “I was scared, but at the same time, I needed to make a true effort to talk to Paul,” she admitted, her voice filled with determination.

But as she tried to reason with him, Paul’s behavior grew increasingly erratic. “That wasn’t my husband,” Mariah realized, her heart sinking with dread. “He’s trying to turn you against me.”

As the ghostly presence tightened its grip on their lives, Mariah knew they were running out of time. “He’s trying to possess you,” she whispered, her voice trembling with fear. “Please, believe me.”

Feeling a sense of responsibility weighing heavily on her shoulders, Mariah knew that she couldn’t ignore the presence haunting her home. With determination fueling her actions, she resolved to seek help from the experts at paracon investigations.

Jimmy, the troubled spirit!

Mariah felt a shiver run down her spine as she listened to the troubled spirit’s tale. It was as if she could feel his anguish and desperation permeating the air around her. She glanced over at Paul, who seemed to be in a trance-like state, his eyes fixed on the corner of the garage where the spirit lingered.

The medium, Mary Potter, continued to relay the spirit’s story, her voice carrying a solemn weight as she spoke of Jimmy’s pain and longing.

“In the murky corner, cloaked in a tattered letterman jacket, stood a figure haunted by anguish, eyes sunken with despair. With spectral clarity, Jimmy unveiled his tale, weaving fragments of memory and emotion into the fabric of my mind. His was a story of youthful love, of jubilance tainted by bitterness, as jealousy and rage tore apart the blissful facade. The tumultuous unraveling of affection was witnessed, as accusations pierced the air, tearing as under the fragile bonds of trust. Their once harmonious melody twisted into discordant notes of sorrow and betrayal. In the dimness, he sat, a phantom silhouette against the glint of metal, a stark reminder of the tragic crescendo that silenced his mortal song.”

Mariah couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for the restless soul trapped between worlds.

As Mary finished recounting Jimmy’s tragic demise, Mariah knew what needed to be done. She had to help Jimmy find peace and release him from his earthly torment. Turning to Mary with determination in her eyes, Mariah nodded silently, signaling her readiness to assist.

With Mary’s guidance, Mariah stepped forward, her heart heavy with sorrow for Jimmy’s plight. She reached out towards the spirit, her hand trembling slightly as she made contact with his ethereal form.

“Jimmy,” Mariah spoke softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s time to let go. You don’t have to carry this burden any longer. You can find peace.”

For a moment, there was silence in the garage, the only sound the faint hum of electricity in the air. Then, as if in response to Mariah’s words, a gentle breeze swept through the space, carrying with it a sense of serenity and calm.

Mariah felt a sense of relief wash over her as she watched Jimmy’s spirit begin to fade, his presence gradually dissipating into the ether. In that moment, she knew that she had helped Jimmy find the peace he had been searching for.

As the last traces of Jimmy’s spirit vanished, Mariah turned to Paul, her eyes filled with gratitude and love. She knew that their journey was far from over, but in that moment, she felt a renewed sense of hope and determination.

Together, Mariah and Paul would face whatever challenges lay ahead, secure in the knowledge that they had helped a lost soul find its way home. And as they left the garage behind, the weight of Jimmy’s presence lifted from their shoulders, replaced by a newfound sense of peace and closure.

Time to let go now. You’re not alone anymore. Cross over into the light, Jimmy. It’s time to find peace. Mariah’s voice trembled with emotion as she reached out to the troubled spirit.

In the garage, surrounded by the echoes of his past, Jimmy hesitated. Fear gripped him, the fear of judgment and rejection in the afterlife.

But as Mariah extended her hand, a glimmer of hope flickered in Jimmy’s eyes. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, he felt understood, accepted.

With a prayer on her lips, Mary guided Jimmy towards the light, offering him solace and release from his earthly burdens.

And as the final words of the prayer echoed through the garage, a sense of tranquility descended upon the room. Jimmy’s spirit lingered for a moment, his gaze fixed on Mariah with gratitude and longing.

Then, with a gentle smile, he let go, allowing himself to be enveloped by the warm embrace of the light. In that moment, the weight that had burdened the Jones family lifted, replaced by a profound sense of peace.

As Mariah looked around the garage, she felt a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. Though the journey had been fraught with fear and uncertainty, it had led them here, to this moment of healing and closure.

With tears in her eyes, Mariah turned to Mary and the paranormal team, gratitude shining in her gaze. “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. “Thank you for helping us find peace.”

And as they left the garage behind, the echoes of Jimmy’s spirit faded into the ether, leaving behind only the gentle whisper of the wind and the promise of a new beginning.

As the gentle breeze swept through the garage, Mariah felt a sense of peace wash over her. Jimmy’s presence, once palpable and haunting, now dissipated into the ether, leaving behind only a lingering echo of tranquility.

“He’s gone,” Mariah whispered softly, her voice barely audible over the rustle of the wind. “He’s at peace.”

In that fleeting moment, Mariah knew that everything would be alright. The fog of fear and uncertainty that had clouded their lives lifted, replaced by a newfound sense of clarity and serenity.

With Jimmy’s spirit finally at rest, the Jones family found solace in knowing that their ordeal was over. Though their encounter with the paranormal would forever remain etched in their memories, they were ready to move forward, leaving behind the shadows of the past.

In July of 2013, the Jones family bid farewell to their haunted home and embarked on a new chapter of their lives. Yet, the lessons they learned and the bonds they forged during their ordeal would stay with them forever.

As they enjoyed a peaceful picnic under the warm sunshine, surrounded by laughter and love, Mariah couldn’t help but reflect on their journey. Though their experiences had been harrowing, they had emerged stronger, more resilient than ever before.

And as Mary’s words echoed in her mind, Mariah knew that their gift — their ability to see beyond the veil of the ordinary — was a blessing, not a curse. With Lily by her side, they would face whatever the future held together, one day at a time.

For in the end, it wasn’t the ghosts of the past that defined them, but the love and strength they found in each other. And as they looked towards the horizon, filled with hope and possibility, Mariah knew that their story was far from over.
