I could see the swingset was being used by invisible beings EPISODE 897 PODCAST
from Cryptids Canada · host Leslie Garcia
My encounter took place in 2019, during one of the most unstable and emotionally difficult periods of my life. By that point, I had already lived through events most people would struggle to process — witnessing violence as a child, being relocated across the country, losing the only family I had ever known, and then watching my home burn to the ground.While dealing with insurance after the fire, I was temporarily living in a remote Airbnb — a beautiful, isolated log cabin surrounded by forest, trails, a pond, and old rope swings hanging from the trees. At first, it felt like a gift… a peaceful place to recover and breathe again. But not long after settling in, strange things began to happen. A whistling sound meant to get my attention. A dark figure standing on a tree branch, watching me. Swings moving violently in the middle of the night. Branches bouncing as if something unseen was playing with them. When I adopted a dog for companionship and safety, I felt relief — until she began reacting to the same disturbances I had witnessed, growling at the windows, shaking in fear, and watching the tree line with intense focus. That’s when things escalated.One night, something struck the patio door from the darkness. I left the next morning. To this day, I still don’t know what I was dealing with — and I’m sharing this now to ask: what do you think was out there?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cryptids-canada--7007498/support.
