Four girls in the 60's, were recipients of multiple messages coming from Virgin Mary as well as the Archangel Michael. They would get in a state referred to in Spanish as "Éxtasis", where they would feel an extreme sense of joy. The particular thing about them, is the fact that they would only look up, every time the girls were together with the apparition, in outstanding synchronicity. As if in a trance, the people were unable to make them budge or flinch. They would put lights on their eyes, move them around. They wouldn't blink. They would also walk backwards, all while moving at an abnormal speed and looking up. The first time I heard this story, it reminded of the girls from The Salem Witch Trials, but this is more whimsical. Linked above is the video of the girls in the state previously mentioned.
To this day, people go to Garabandal in the hopes of feeling the miraculous presence the girls felt back then. Obviously there's some weird things about this that make me skeptical, but I still like the whimsy in this story ✝

I grew up in a haunted house so I am obsessed w the paranormal. I'm also always looking for UFOS. There’s also been a duende following me around since I was in London last month and misplacing all my belongings.

whether they involve ghosts or time warping or crop circles, I love to listen to people’s stories about their brushes with the unknown….this is one that happened when I was around seven years old, and recall so vividly it plays like a movie in my mind:
One morning, when my sister and I were very small, my family took us to Santa Fe to visit our uncle. We stayed in a gorgeous old adobe hacienda-style home, with my sister and I sharing a room. One early morning, our first one there, my sister (around four years old at the time) woke all of us up when she ran out of the bathroom absolutely hysterical, screaming that a man was in the bathroom. My parents, jumping to the conclusion that there must’ve been a peeping Tom in the tiny stained glass window adjacent to the toilet, scoured the area for anyone, or any sign of anyone. of course, they found nothing.
Later, when she was calmer and more intelligible, my sister told us a tall man wearing a coat and hat had appeared directly in front of her out of thin air, and she’d had to run around him to escape the bathroom. That evening, when my parents described the incident to my uncle (an architect whose boss graciously allowed us to stay in that house), he told us that while his boss had made jokes about the place being haunted, he never would’ve guessed it was true.
if you have a creepy story you’ve been itching to tell, help us set the Halloween mood at Gilded and send it over! We want to read it for our upcoming Halloween special. Our hearts (and Google form) are open to you ❤️🎃

This story scared me as a kid and still freaks me out now. The idea of finding some freaky rabbit in a field and then having your house get terrorized by some unseen force makes me uneasy. I haven't listened to a ton of supplemental material about the story but I am curious about its origin and its veracity.
