There's a place beyond this place, a middle ground between the light and the darkness, the Nader and the Xenith. For some, it's a bridge between the living and the dead. Yet for others, it's something else entirely. It's the place where our nightmares dwell. Each one of us has touched the other side and felt the presence of something beyond this world. Faces in the house, I don't recognize. Looking in the mirror, I see the devil's eyes.

Mixing up too much, had me act crazy. Now I'm back alone on my patch of crazy. Ghost gave.

It everything and.

Only took a... Oh, guess the.

Parasite is looking for a...

Host. Bitch, you're so demanding. Plus, you're so the silence. But you ain't never met a demon like me. We are all influenced by our surroundings from the moment we become conscious to this world. Positive or negative, the experiences you have as a young person shape the way you feel and see the world around you. For a lot of us, religion was introduced to us at a tender age. Sometimes the complexities of our holy books and practices can be daunting and hard to understand for a young mind. Let's delve deeper into this topic. On this episode, we have Major sharing his hip hop horror story.

Yo, what's good? This is Major, and this is my hip hop horror story. At the time, I was living in Detroit, Michigan. That's where I'm from. When I was a kid, I was introduced to church through lens of Light. It was a black church, like gospel, music, singing, dancing, live church, preaching. That was the lens of what I saw the church through.

I.

Got in a little bit of trouble when I was in the seventh grade and my mom sent me to a Catholic school. When I first went to that school, I was 13. It was an all-boy school. I didn't really like it. We had to do a thing called Mass. And when I came into Mass, this was the first time I was hearing that music. For me, it sounded very haunting like, oh, like chanting and that very solemn and quiet, scary sound that I had never heard before, especially in the church. I'm in this big, giant, cathedral and I had only seen these videos online about Illuminati and all this stuff. I didn't know what any of this stuff was. I hear the organ and then it made us all go in a line. I'm walking up to the thing and I see there's a pastor at the front, like some type of preacher. He comes and puts on your head. He puts ashes. There's a black ashes in the shape of a cross, puts it on your head and he said something like, You will return to the dust or something like that. I remember seeing that and I was maybe 12 or something and I was just like, What is this?

I remember just being afraid by it. Did I join the Illuminati? What happened? After that thing happened, I remember I would hear little things like, Oh, you read these certain things in the Bible. Don't read these certain things in the Bible. People would encourage me to do these things. I was scared of that experience. I went on the family trip. It was somewhere, I don't remember. I want to say Ohio or something like that. It was in a little hotel and as I got in the room, it was pretty dirty and dingy. It was like one of those ones where you go into your room from the outside, you're walking a hotel, you walk in your room from the outside. So you already know what type of hotel that was. So it wasn't the nicest place. I think the environment of it being a dirtier place. It scared me a little more too. You open up the hotel drawer and there's the Bible in there. I opened it. It said, Placed by the Gideons on the end, which I later looked up and it was like a Gideons was a group of people who went around trying to spread Christianity crazy.

They put all these Bibles in hotels. One of my cousins told me something that I literally forgot to this day because I was too scared by the experience. He said, Read this certain passage on the Bible. That was the guy said. He said, Read this passage. You need to read this. All of a sudden, I started hearing a loud banging on the glass. I got super scared. I threw it down. I was like, What is this? I went out and looked in the room, no one was there. I go back to open this again. I opened it and try to look for the verse that my cousin told me. It's my cousin, Ricky, and I'm trying to look for the verse. Again, the mirror starts shaking on the wall and lots of things starts happening. I threw it down and I ran out. I was just like, No, I don't know what that is. I did not see what struck it, but by the time I got back around, I saw the mirror still shaking, moving. I knew that it wasn't just the sound. I saw the movement of it like something shaking. That's why I was thinking, Is it an earthquake?

You know what I'mI'm trying to process it in my brain, but I'm like, I've never been in an earthquake. I wasn't in California to breathe. I'm like, What happened to why is this window mirror shaking? It's almost like somebody had been shaking it and then ran out right when I came in. I still never exactly figured out what that was at that moment, but I felt like maybe it was some type of spiritual, something didn't want me to get to read that. It was... And they actually worked because I don't even remember what it was. At the time, I was too afraid to talk to people around me to even ask them what it was. That was one thing that I can really remember happening. My cousin, Rick, I should probably ask him now like, What was that? I was too nervous to tell him because I don't know. I was just scared, honestly. That was when my dad's side of the family. So then a few weeks go past, I went back with my mom, I'm side of the family in Detroit. It's definitely a summertime day. It was not particularly cold or hot, but it was definitely a classic summertime day.

Our family is Jamaican. They have this thing in the Jamaican culture where they put their name on a piece of foil in a freezer and it's to do some type of voodoo things or spells. I don't know, but it's not a good thing. Someone called my mom and said, Hey, I found your name on this. What does it mean?

Hey, I found.

Your name on this foil. What does it mean? My mom knew what it meant. So my mom was telling me about this. And as we were having that conversation, we walked out into our backyard at the time. We had a little yard in the back. Couldn't have been outside for more than 10, 20 seconds, maybe 30 seconds, maybe a minute. When we came back in the house, every single thing was open. We walked out, everything was closed, walked in. All the drawers in the kitchen were open, oven was open, the refrigerator was open, all these things were open. It was so weird. It almost felt like somebody had broke into the house because it was like, what happened? But it was so quick and nothing was missing. So having heard to witness it with me just validated to me that, hey, I wasn't crazy. This stuff that is happening. It's different things happening. Then also hearing her talk about it from the Caribbean perspective and from the spiritual thing, it made me feel like, okay, this stuff is real and this stuff is really happening. When I had the first experience, I was by myself.

Then when I had the second one, I was with my mom. It's some type of spiritual type of thing that's going on or I don't know if it's something from the other side. I don't know. He not even describe it. I still to this day have no explanation for what that was. It was as we were having a conversation about some of the things I was telling her about when the banging was happening, when I was trying to read the Bible and all of these unexplained things. The way I view it now was like it was just like, no. Not right now. You're not supposed to see this. I knew that if it scared me bad enough, I would just throw it down. That's how I process it. When we're children, we're more open to these things. Until they hit a certain point, their brain wave frequency mimics that of the same one we are at when we're in a creative state.

They.

Might be seeing an imaginary friend, but to them it's real and it's the same way that... Then once we hit a certain age, our brainwaves literally change to a different frequency and that... Some people say you grow up and you lose your imagination and your spark. But I think definitely that child-like part of it is very big and very important. The brain wave, I think, is a key to why that happens so young.

Okay.

So the human eye can see from a certain spectrum of wavelengths, just like our ear can hear from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz. But there's so much outside of that range. I think even life exists out there, so maybe it's ghosts or UFO, as people want to say it, could be existing right here. We only perceive a small piece of reality with our senses. I believe that right here in this space, just like how the cell phone waves are coming through, just like how the Wi-Fi is. I believe it's other spirits, as you may want to call them, or entities or supernatural things going on right here all the time. It also made me think about the power of the mind too and what you focus on because it's like other stuff happening connected to stuff we can't see.

What is fear? Some say it's the first emotion we ever feel. It can't be translated or understood. We all have rational and sometimes irrational fears, but they vary from person to person. Something that brings others comfort, if presented to you the wrong way can strike fear in your heart. With Major, the ashes mixed with hearing a quote about being returned to the dust was too complex a concept for his young mind to grasp. Or maybe he just trusted what he felt. That's why they say you can never make a first impression twice.

When Tracy Raquelle Burns was two years old, her baby brother died. I was told.

That Matthew.

Died in an accident.

And no one really talked about it.

Her parents told police she had killed him. Medical records said that I killed.

My baby brother.

Unrestorable is a new true crime podcast that investigates the case of Catherine Hagle, a mother accused of murder.

I'm thinking.

What's going on?

This is insane.

Where are my kids?

Despite signs that Catherine Hagle took her tiny children one by one into the night, never to come home again, she has yet to stand trial, because soon after her children went missing, she was declared incompetent to stand trial.

We.

Have a blueprint to get away with murder in the state of Maryland at this point.

In Maryland, if a defendant is found incompetent and can't be restored competency, their felony charges are dismissed after five years. So as the clock counts down, Katherine's charges on the verge of being dismissed. What does justice look like in this case?

Something's wrong here. Whenever a woman is allowed to kill my two kids.

This next story is a spine-tingling blend of fame, fortune, and the shadowy world of curses. Little God, I thought, he'd struck gold when he joined forces with a renowned Cuban musician. But as the beats drop and the track is laid down, so is something far more insidious, a hex that threatens to strip away not just his riches, but his very life. Gone are the luxury and the lifestyle, and in their place, a cascade of inexplicable misfortunes. I won't give it all away. This is Lil' Goddard telling his story.

So, Lil', I'm going to tell a story about me doing a feature with E-5 priests from Cuba. And like I said, all money and good money. So one day I was down, riding with my brother, though. Itlike, it's a dude I know in Atlanta. He hit me like, Hey, my mama want a feature from you. Back then, they were like 2017, 2018. I'm doing everything. I said, come on with it. I'm just like, You all have some quick money. I don't get so many songs. I don't need to remember what we were recording. I pull up to the studio, I pulled up to the house, go do the feature. But the dude, when I met him, he went on there. He was cool. When we vibing in the studio, I do the song. I tell them I got to do something else. I'm on the move because I ain't never... You sit still type of shit. So I do the feature. But he want me to stay longer. I'm like, man, I can't do it. I got to go. I end up leaving probably some weeks after that, probably weeks or months. I just see somebody keep tagging me on Instagram, some Grand Reaper shit.

I'm like, man, what the fuck? I got down, look at the page, it's buddy. I hit him like, man, why the hell you keep tagging me and this? This shit. Man, you on some weird shit. What the hell going on? He tell me, Nah, you took from me. I paid you for a feature, I never get the song. How the hell? How the hell, god damn, you going to do me like this? I'm going to make sure you don't do nobody else like this ever again. I said, Bro, I did the song. If we didn't get the song, the engineer got to be the one that then sent us on. He's like, Nah, it's you. You think just because of who you is and all that, you can do people like this. I'm going to make sure you can't do nobody else like this. So, boy, I don't got them. I said, Hey, what's your name? I end up in the studio. What engineer record is it? They tell me. I called the engineer. I said, Bro, you ain't sending man his stuff because they're man on some other shit. So he like, Oh, I did forget to send it my bag.

Wait, you want me to send it out? I said, head man, of course. This man, he tagged me in Grand Reeper shit, all type of shit. He in Cuba, praying on my downfall. He over here on some other shit. I get on the line with him. I called the E-5 prison, the man who I did a feature with.

So he was.

Like, God damn. Yeah, I want to make sure you don't do this to nobody else type of shit. I'm like, Man, you tripping. I'm riding my brother, Key Reindrow. I go somewhere downtown. I park, I get something out of the store. I'm on the phone with the nigga. He got down talking to me, telling me I'm going to make sure you don't do this to nobody else. When I'm coming out the store, I just parked my brother's car. I come out the store and 14 T's on there, motherfucker. Twelve, but 14 T's. Hey, bro. I don't know what I'm some weird shit like this shit ain't real. This ain't no... This shit like it was made up type shit. But they put 14 T's on it. And then told me I couldn't get in the car, they told it. So I called water by G. I got down on my brother's personal apartment. So he got down and pulled up on me. He couldn't get me. I'm telling him what's going on. I ain't losing the car. I'm testing him. I'm like, Hey, bro, you just put something on me. He said, I'm going to do a lot more.

I said, You don't want the song, bro? You don't want the song? I'm trying to give you the song. I promise you this ain't got nothing to do with it. I ain't know the engineering. The engineer retarded. He ain't send a song. I'm not trying to hear that. I know it got something to do with you. I thought I went to the house. I went to the house. So when I went to the house. I end up getting a call, but you got to move out your house. I said, Man, what? Why the hell I got to move? Man, you all be racing cars up and down the street. We don't race no cars up and down the street. The cars, they're loud because it's like SRTs and stuff. I know it with him because every time something happen to me, he'll text me. I'm like, bro, that man is none of them play with. That man for real, he's the real deal, none of them play with. I said, man, that man on my ass, I ain't going to lose my house because this same situation because he put something on me. I'm begging him to get it off me.

I said, man, bro, you can get it. I'll give you five more something, bro. Just get this motherfucker off me. He said, I don't want the song. I just want to show you you can't do people like that. People that work hard for this. I said, bro, I didn't do nothing. I just handle my business in love. The song, it's between you and the engineer for you to get chose on. I end up getting my blah, blah, blah. We had to do a lot. My brother, Keith, we doing a lot. Everybody doing airballs for me to get them off me because I'm E-5, too. He had a mess with him. He faked the death of the E-5 priest who put it on me, he faked the death. His wife hit me. Somebody hit me from his page. Yeah, he died. I was like, Shit, theyI'm on shit. She ain't got nothing to do with me. That boy come back a day later with a video saying that you thought I died. Now I'm excellent because you don't care for people either. I said, God damn. Why the hell you on me so bad? I ain't did nothing.

He get to got down. He went to kill me. He don't tell me in the video. He in a layer of type shit. His skulls, all type of shit. It's red in there, everything. He praying and all type of shit. I said, bro, whatever you got going on, brother, personal you got going ain't got nothing to do with me, bro. You tripping. I'm like, to hear my head like, bro, I'm never doing a feature for anybody like money. All money ain't good money. I ain't taking any type of money. Hell, no. Man, that boy really just made me lose a house and a car and all type of bad energy type shit just happened to a nigga. I end up getting them off doing some more with my shit and just selling them my different with them and just really gave them like three songs and just got them off. But I ain't one of the people that just do bad E-file on people. I can't do that. It could have been a plenty situation. I could feel how he feel to another person. I could have put him in some bad shit, but I don't do it.

I don't want that tight energy. I do good e-file. I stay protecting it, tight shit. I don't do bad e-file. No, they would put some real voodoo on me, man. It took probably like a year to get this boy up off me. It took about a year to get him off me. He was in. Man, that man, real deal. I'm like, some shit. But this shit will scare you while you're out of shit, man. This shit. And the shit he pray, he said a word. Hey, man, this shit scaring the hell out you. I'm like, Oh, hell, no. He the real deal, man. I ain't no light. I ain't hurt from else and then. Just the moral story. Don't take any type of money. Money, all money ain't good money. Yeah, man.

Faced with a hex that nearly unraveled his life, Little Godit was forced to confront the very source of his undoing. It's an ending is harmonious as a well-composed song, but the notes of this tale will linger long after the music stops. Was the Hex a manifestation of artistic differences, a clash of egos, or perhaps something darker? A cautionary symphony warning us of the more intricate threads that we've talent, fate, and possibly something much more sinister. You decide. Thank you for tuning in to hip hop horror stories. I'm your host, Belly. I'm your.

Host, you all.
