| 0:00.0 | I've kind of had paranormal activities happen most of my life. |
| 0:12.0 | The earliest I can remember is 1997, so I was about six years old. We moved around a lot when we were little. |
| 0:24.5 | Back this time, we're in Waco, Texas. |
| 0:28.2 | We had just started renting a home from this family, and I won't include their name, |
