A story about all the science. Up in the sky.
So my name is Annalise. I'm 26. I was born in Billerica, Massachusetts, and I moved to Townsend, Massachusetts when I was about three years old and have lived here ever since. I'm a fine gardener, so I do a lot of landscaping and work outside building pollinator beds and things like that. I'm outside every single day, whether I'm working or just enjoying my personal life.
Always camping, always hiking, tons of swimming. But yeah, I'm outside like 14 hours a day just camping. in the rain, snow, heat, all of it. I really, really love that. And gardening was kind of symbiotic with my personal life. Before that, I was working at a bank for six years. So I was definitely ready for a switch. So yes, I do have experience with paranormal things. I would say growing up,
There was a lot of strange kind of occurrences in my childhood home, which I still live in today. And it's a lot. There's a lot of little things that kind of happened. Me and my sister, we dealt with like a mimic. So, you know, there was a couple of times where my sister would come home and, you know, she heard me full blown, like screaming at our dog. And she was like, what the hell?
Like what's going on? And came out of her room and realized that I hadn't even gotten home from school yet. But she was like, it was your voice like through and through, like no doubt about it. You were pissed and you were screaming at the dog. And I was like, what? Like, that's terrifying. Chills just instantly. And then I remember it was like the following year. We had a giant blizzard.
My dad, you know, he has he works for a town, so he has to be at work usually when there's snowstorms and things, you know, fixing plows and whatnot. So he would leave essentially every single storm and it would just be me and my sister. I was probably like 16 at the time and my sister's 19 or 18 were a few years apart. I remember it was when TiVo came out.
And something hilarious came on the TV and I paused it with the TiVo trial. And I was like, Andrea, you got to come see this. You got to come see this. And she wasn't answering. So I was like singing her name. And I was like, Andrea, like down the hallway. And she just, her voice goes, what the fuck do you want? You're so annoying. And I was like, Andrea? And like ran down the hallway.
She wasn't even home. She had actually gone to our neighbor's house. And I was so scared that I put on my snow pants and my snow jacket. And I sat outside in our driveway until she came home, which was like two hours later. And I was just like in tears, like, Oh my God, like something is in the house. Like call our dad, dad, you got to come home.
And, uh, you know, he came home and everything was fine, but it was a lot of like little things kind of adding up. And it, it got to the point where my mom's best friend at the time, um, they both drove school buses together and her dad was a native American chief. And he, he came to our house and I really don't even know what he did.
All I know is that we had to leave the house for a night and he did a ceremony of a blessing or something. And everything changed after that point. We never experienced it again. You know, we didn't, I really, everything toned down. I really was like at peace and we really didn't have too many things going on that felt threatening and,
You know, there were some occasions where like me and my sister would wake up and have like a weird bruise or cut or I would have these really scary dreams and like be screaming for my parents in the night, you know, and I remember all of it. It was very vivid and strange. So it kind of shook me, you know, and I think my parents knew like, OK, something's not right.
After that, everything was really good. So I felt pretty okay with staying there and never had a mimic again, that kind of deal. So I did have some experience with paranormal occurrences before. I do think about it a lot. I don't rule anything out, but I also don't put my foot down and I'm not like, this is the way that it is. I believe X, Y, and Z. I'm very open.
I've heard a lot of stories from people. When I start talking about this stuff, usually everyone around me kind of It's like, oh my God, you're reminding me of this story of what happened to me as a kid. And I just realized at some point, like, okay, I can't deny that people are having experiences and I don't deny myself that.
I could sit here all day and try to debunk, debunk, but I just think that the universe moves in mysterious ways and everybody kind of translates that in different ways. So I'm definitely open to a lot of different things. So this was late March of 2020 and COVID-19 had just kind of hit. And I think everyone kind of experienced their workplace, you know, hitting some kind of halt.
And I was working at a bank at the time and I was a bank teller. So You know, I immediately lost my job, essentially. They didn't know what to do with us. You know, I was at home and just having a ton of anxiety and my partner was having a lot of anxiety as well. And we love to camp all the time.
And getting two weeks off of work was like a godsend in a way for us because we were like, okay, we got to go camping. And the place that, you know, it was like no question that we were going to go is this place called Sawyer River Road. And I grew up going there. So I was two months old the first time that my parents brought me up there. So I've been going there before I can even remember.
So my dad, when he was 14 years old, he took a Greyhound bus from Lexington, I believe, with two of his best friends. And they just went up to the Kankamangus Highway in New Hampshire. And they just had some backpacks and they decided that they were just going to go explore the mountains and find some cool spots. And they ended up finding this place, Sawyer River Road.
And my dad, you know, immediately fell in love with the place and they ended up staying there for a couple of weeks. And just kind of camping and making big stone fire pits and huge stone chairs and things like that along this river. And they came upon this trail that kind of went up to, it's almost like a valley of mountains with this big, huge pond in the middle of it.
And a nice three-walled shelter sitting right there, just kind of facing out, looking over this amazing, amazing pond. And they were like, this is sweet, you know? And so he spent his entire life essentially going up there and bringing a bunch of people, 10, 15 people, and doing huge campouts on the weekends and kind of just partying up there and living life. I mean, it was the 80s, you know?
You're going to be having fun. So I was so... well acquainted with this place. Like I just, I don't go anywhere else essentially because I'm just, that's where my heart is and I want to be there all the time. And so when, you know, COVID hit, we got shut down at the bank two weeks off of work off the bat. We were like, okay, let's break out the zero bags.
