Welcome to Episode 6 of
My True Ghost Stories.
I have two stories for you today.
The first is a different kind of
story, featuring a UFO sighting
that terrified me as a kid.
And the second is about a message
that I received for a close friend who
was at a funeral 1, 297 miles away.
And here's story number one.
Speaker: I know this podcast is called My
True Ghost Stories, but this is my one and
only true story about a UFO that a friend
of mine and I saw when we were kids.
When I started preparing this story
for this podcast, I told a friend
of mine about it and he looked up
some details that I told him online,
and this occurrence that I'm
about to tell you about turned up.
For my whole life I had always
thought that maybe it was a mistake,
a blimp, a movie being filmed,
something other than an actual UFO,
but the internet says otherwise.
So here's my story.
My friend Karen and I were invited to
a sleepover at our friend Katie's house
on a Saturday night in January 1975.
Karen and I lived on the same
block and Katie's house was
about seven, eight blocks away.
I am from a town near New York City, and
at night, the light from Manhattan lights
up the sky, so it's never completely dark.
So, to get to Katie's house, we had
to walk along this boulevard, and the
boulevard has that full, famous view
of the Manhattan skyline, like the
one that you see on the postcards.
And it was after dark, and the skyline was
fully lit, but since We were from there.
We never noticed this spectacular view.
Even though there was always busloads
of tourists in our town taking
pictures, we never noticed it.
But we did used to photobomb
their pictures for laughs.
Like we would make little human pyramids
right in front of the prime photo spots,
which was not appreciated by the tourists.
However, that night there
was no human pyramids.
Karen and I walked the eight blocks
with our overnight bags, you know,
containing our PJs, a toothbrush.
I had probably stashed a doll in
there because I played with dolls
way longer than my peers and I was
always secure having one with me.
We arrived at Katie's house and we walked
past her driveway, which, despite the
Manhattan City Lights, was very dark.
We considered going around to
the back door because that was
an option at Katie's house.
You could go in the front
door or the back door.
However,
upon setting foot into the driveway
We saw, up to our right,
over the bare January trees,
what I can only describe as a
round object with moving, bright
lights on it, hovering in mid air.
Not moving like a blimp or a plane
would do, and not attached to
anything like a tree or a building.
Hovering, and it was shifting slightly,
like bobbing up and down, back and
forth, and it was round, so it was not
a helicopter, and it was not traveling
like any airborne vehicle would do.
So, in other words, it was what a child
would describe as a flying saucer.
Although I grew to doubt this as I
grew older, at that time, at that
moment, in Katie's driveway, Karen
and I knew this was not a blimp or
a plane or anything from this earth.
And we started screaming and
panicking and holding each other.
And we were immobilized by fear, and I
don't remember exactly what happened then.
it would be a great story right now.
Speaker: if the UFO had landed and little
men had come out, which from the article
on the internet that I mentioned earlier,
did happen to someone nearby at 2.
45am that same night.
But I am grateful that that did
not happen to little Karen and me.
I do know that we
Speaker: for obvious reasons, chose not
to go around to the back door, and I
vaguely recall pounding on the front door
and somehow winding up in Katie's kitchen
this, so this was not a time loss like
in other UFO stories where nobody knew
where we were for three hours and we had
mysterious physical marks on our bodies.
No, that just sounds so terrifying.
No, I just don't remember
because it was a long time ago.
And I also know we were right
on time for the sleepover.
You know, nobody had called 911 or
anything about the missing children.
So, I remember being in Katie's
kitchen and frantically telling
Katie's mom about what we saw
and Katie's mom not believing us.
Afterwards, you know, I
guess we just pushed it down.
I don't remember ever
discussing it with Karen again.
I vaguely remember having this leap
over party and trying not to think
about it and being upset and eventually,
as time went by, rationalizing in
my young mind that it must have
been a Goodyear blimp or a plane.
And since Katie's mom had so
strongly dismissed our story, I
decided not to tell anyone else,
which I didn't for many, many years.
Again, when I decided to tell this story
on this podcast, I told a friend of
mine and he googled UFO New Jersey 1975.
And there was the story, plain as day.
Speaker: occurring on a Saturday
night in January 1975 in North Hudson
Park, which is about three miles from
where Karen and I had seen this UFO.
And I had never even thought to Google
it because, for the most part, I
had convinced myself it wasn't true.
But part of me knew that it was.
Here is the story that my friend
found on the internet, paraphrased
by Publications International
from an article by Bud Hopkins.
At around 2.
45 a.
m.
on January 12, 1975, George Obarsky
was driving home through North
Hudson Park, New Jersey, just across
the Hudson River from Manhattan
when static filled his radio.
Leaning forward to fiddle with the
dial, he noticed a light to his left.
A quick glance, followed by an
astonished stare, revealed its source.
A dark, round object with
vertical, brilliantly lit windows.
It was heading in the same direction
as the car and emitted a humming sound.
Obarsky slowed down for a better view.
The UFO entered a playing field and
hovered a few feet off the ground.
A panel opened between two windows.
And a ladder emerged.
Seconds later, about ten
identically clad little figures.
They wore white, one piece outfits with
hoods or helmets that obscured their
facial features, came down the ladder.
each figure, dug a hole in the soil
with a spoon like device and dumped
the contents into a bag each carried.
The figures then rushed back into the
ship, which took off toward the north.
The entire incident had
lasted less than four minutes.
Right now, I want to repeat that I
am eternally grateful to the powers
that be that my young self and Karen's
young self did not have to see what Mr.
Obarski saw.
I'm sure it was incredibly
traumatizing for him.
And it most likely would have
been permanently scarring for us.
And the new story continues.
Months later, Obarski confided the story
to a long time customer and acquaintance,
Bud Hopkins, who was interested in UFOs.
Hopkins and two fellow investigators
subsequently found independent
witnesses who verified the presence
of a brightly lit UFO in the park
at the time of Obarski's sighting,
although only Obarski was close
enough to see the little figures.
One witness, a doorman at an apartment
complex bordering the park, said that
as he watched the object he heard a
high pitched vibration and the lobby
window broke just as the UFO departed.
So, I guess they were
looking for soil samples?
And maybe they were considering landing
in Katie's dark driveway, but chose a
much wider open space, three miles away?
I don't know, I'm just guessing.
But I do know that Karen and I,
mercifully, only saw the brightly
lit object hovering in the winter
night sky, and not the little people.
I would probably not be the same
person I am if I had grown up
trying to repress that memory.
But I was able to push down,
for the most part, the memory of
the flying saucer that we saw.
But I couldn't keep it to
myself forever, and that's why
I'm sharing it with you now.
And I am thankful for the
internet, at least in this
case, for making it possible.
to find this little obscure story
about the North Hudson Park UFO.
And now I know that I did
see what I thought I saw on
that Saturday night in 1975.
Speaker 2: Here's our second story.
Speaker: The name of this story is 256 A
family member of a close friend of mine
had passed away suddenly in his 80s and
he had worked until the day he died.
He literally went to work the
morning of the day that he died.
So it wasn't tragic.
He had lived a very full life
up until the last minute.
So it wasn't tragic, but it was still
sad and his family was going to miss him.
I know the whole family personally, and
so many people I knew were traveling
to another state for this funeral.
And I did not go, which was fine.
The man's name was Uncle Oscar.
That's how I knew him, because that's what
my good friend calls him, Uncle Oscar.
And Uncle Oscar used to live in New York
City, but he had moved to another state
where other family members were, and
that's where he worked and lived until.
The day he died, and I had met him
only once not long before he died,
on Thanksgiving or Christmas, some
family gathering, and my impression of
him was that he was this nice, gentle
soul, and I really liked him instantly.
So, my friend called me and he had
arrived in the other state for the
funeral and he's meeting up with
all the family he hadn't seen.
And we had a short conversation and
I said goodbye and I went to the gym.
So, I had no information
about the funeral.
Like, when it was, where it was,
was it today, was it tomorrow,
I didn't know anything about it.
So I went into the shower after
my workout, at the gym and I'm in
the shower and I get this really
clear message from my guides.
And it went like this.
They have to yell goodbye to Oscar at 2.
56 this afternoon.
And I said, who has to yell?
And they said, Kathy will know.
Kathy is my good friend's mother, who
was at the funeral with my friend.
So I, I processed this message, which
was extremely clear, and after I got
out of the shower and got dressed,
I called my friend and I hesitantly
said, okay listen, I got this message.
My friend knows about me and messages.
And I said, okay, here's the message.
Certain people I have to yell goodbye
Oscar today at 3 o'clock because
it just seemed too weird to say
this like really specific time, 2.
56.
And, but finally.
And I just switched it around and I told
the truth and I said, okay, actually,
it's at 256 that they have to yell.
And apparently your mother
will know who the people are.
So he said, okay, and we hung up and he
texted me that he had told his mother
and she did indeed know who the people
were that would have to yell this.
And she went around and she told them.
Individually, she told them, okay my
son's friend is a medium in New York City
and she says that you personally have
to yell, goodbye Oscar, today at 2 56 p.
m.
So this family As a whole is so cool.
Nobody's reaction, apparently from what
I hear to this message was anything like,
what, why, why would we have to do that?
You know, what does she know?
She's like three states away
and we don't even know her.
but instead they had like
immediate acceptance and
they're like, oh, okay, great.
Thank you.
All right.
What time what time?
All right Let me put it in my phone.
So they put alarms in
their phone for 2 56 p.
m At which point they were going to yell
goodbye Oscar, I guess wherever they were.
So my friend Told me, okay, I told my
mom, she told everybody, so we're clear.
All that had happened in the morning,
and for the rest of the day I received
no further messages about Uncle Oscar.
That evening, my friend's mother, the
one who had delivered the messages
to the individuals who had to yell,
she called me that night, and she was
completely overwhelmed, and she told me.
The story of what had happened that day.
Apparently, the funeral service
at the church had ended around 1.
30 and they had gone.
Directly to the cemetery for the burial
and the cars were all following the hearse
from the church to the cemetery and they
ran into this huge traffic jam and it was
Slow moving and not moving and she told me
that she was saying to herself, you know
We're all going to be in our cars at 256
We'll have to like yell out the window
or something and she said she was really
Worried about, you know, this being in,
them not being together at 256, because
she took this message very seriously.
But, the traffic jam let up, and they
arrived at the cemetery before 256, and at
the burial, as there usually is, there's
a short address to the people gathered.
From a pastor and she then gave me a
minute to minute account of what happened.
So Oscar was being buried in a mausoleum
and the coffin was in the crypt.
And the pastor was saying his last
words at 255, he finished his address
And at 256.
Speaker: All these phone alarms went off.
Everyone started yelling,
goodbye, Oscar, goodbye, goodbye, Oscar.
And then at 257, he closed the crypt door.
My theory as to what What went on there
was that Oscar's guides knew that he
was in danger of becoming earthbound,
of missing his opportunities to cross
over, and if he had not crossed over
before they closed that crypt door, He
would have become earthbound and they
knew this and so they sent this message
to me that he needed certain people to
let him know that it was okay to leave
and to be honest, I don't know how all
that works as my mediumship progresses.
I seem to be given information on a
need to know basis and all I needed
to know in this case was that these
people need to yell goodbye at 256.
And Kathy knows who they are,
and that's all they gave me.
So I just keep doing my job with the
information that I am given from my
guides, and these spirits guides.
But I want to say that I am just so
honored to be able to help spirits
find peace on the other side, which
it does seem to be very peaceful and
beautiful from what I have been shown.
After my friend's mother finished
her story, she said, I wanted to
tell you all this in case you ever
doubt that you are an actual medium.
And I do often refer back to
this story in my mind to renew my
confidence so that I can keep giving
these messages, which is obviously
something that I am called to do.
And that's all for today.
