Relatives hit back at theories over three women tortured and dumped in shallow grave in Ecuador
Beautiful PARALLEL UNIVERSE EXPERIENCE Recalled by Relatives 20 Years Later!
Did 3 northwest Florida kids experience a trip into another dimension or a parallel universe? They say that they were taken to a beautiful castle deep in the wood by two teenagers.
“Me, my cousin, and my aunt were all outside on the front porch playing. We were all the same age, around 4-5. Two teenagers approached us and asked if we wanted to see a castle. I knew this was bad news but my cousin had to go see it so we both agreed to follow.
We went into the woods and walked along a trail for what felt like an eternity. Probably twenty minutes or so realistically. We arrive to find a beautiful, gleaming, majestic castle in the distance. I’m talking about something you would see in the movies. This place was made of heaven, it literally shined as if we entered a city of wealth. We excitedly look at each other and sprinted home to tell our parents. The teenagers stayed behind, never chased or followed. Our run back was instantaneous as if it took a few seconds compared to the walk there.
We go and tell my mom and obviously, she is freaked out and tells us no more playing outside for the day. Here’s the thing. My mom was so incredibly strict with me that she would have never let me out of her sight for longer than a minute. The door to the front porch was open so there was no way two random teenagers could have actually taken us into the woods let alone anywhere without one of our parents seeing. My mom and my cousins’ mom were the two adults home at the time.
I’ve spoken to my mom about this multiple times. There’s no church or anything nearby that we could’ve mistaken to be a castle. I’ve even looked as an adult. No luck. All three of us remember this phenomenon.
I’m 25 now so it’s been 20 years (2003) but we’ve spoken about this at the age of 6, 8, 12, 15, etc., essentially every time we see each other. We all remember. Always have. I know some will chalk this off as a kid’s imagination but I swear to you that this was real. So my question is what happened? Did we experience a glitch, a parallel universe, divine intervention, pure imagination, or something otherworldly, or did two creeps try to rape and kill us? And has anyone had anything like this happened? I’ve wanted answers for so long.
There was no castle, to begin with. Like in real life, it doesn’t exist. We’ve looked. I do feel as if what happened was spiritual. Maybe they were ghosts. I don’t know. They both came into the front yard and approached us. They had kind of a mischievous smile and asked if we would like to see a castle? I had a bad feeling in my gut but also because I knew better than to follow strangers. With that being said, they also just seemed like kids at heart who were genuinely excited about their discovery of a castle and wanted to show somebody else. It seemed like it was new to them too. I remember we were skeptical and they kept assuring us it was real. After we ran off they didn’t follow. I never saw them again. They just stayed put at the castle and we ran home excitedly. What I already described the castle that’s pretty much it. It didn’t belong there. Like it truly felt as if we entered another realm of the universe. The place just reeked of heaven. As I said, the castle literally gleamed and shined. We got so excited we just ran off after and never could find it again. Also, were never allowed outside ourselves again.
The only reason I don’t believe it was a fantasy of some sort is that we all grew up together and played all the time. We never had an experience like this. This was a one and only a one-time thing. All our other experiences were normal kid stuff. Hide and seek, riding bikes, video games, etc. Nothing like this. But yeah I don’t know, it’s certainly always stuck with me because I just have no clue what really happened.
This was in northwest Florida. No castles or anything close to it. A lot of churches but none nearby that we could have mistaken for a castle. I don’t believe any castles existed at a prior time. Me, my cousin, and aunt have all talked about it numerous times. No new details ever came about. My cousin was the oldest, only by 9 months, oddly enough he remembers it the least. My aunt and I remember it most vividly of the three. I’ve even asked my Mom multiple times throughout the years. She doesn’t remember the event happening at the time, only through me talking to her about it so much but she agrees that there’s no way we could’ve actually left the front yard. This makes me believe the two teenagers were otherworldly of some sort and gave us a glimpse into their dimension. I don’t know, to be honest.” J

The actor broke down in tears as the letter mentioned his dead relatives[/caption]
It said: “Dear Owen, we can’t help but think back to watching I’m A Celeb together so many years ago when you were all legs and arms squeezing in next to mom to watch your favourite duo.
“Son it fills us with bare pride watching you, your kindness, your consideration towards others and we know that those no longer with us will be looking down with overwhelming pride too.”
Hearing from home proved too much for the actor as he sobbed in front of his campmates.
During Sunday’s episode TV presenter Scarlette was eliminated and sent packing from the jungle.
Scarlette was in the bottom two with her best mate in the jungle, Babatunde Aléshé.
The TV presenter was visibly shocked by her early exit – and promptly burst into tears.
After meeting hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly on the other side of the bridge, Scarlette admitted: “I’m absolutely gutted.
“I’m not even going to lie about it. I know some people wanted to leave, but I said ‘I’m not ready to go yet’.
“Those people are amazing and the jungle is incredible.”
Matt Hancock was also emotional as he was caught wiping away tears after being saved by the public.

I found my baby son alive 17 years after relatives took him and told me he was dead – now they’re suing ME
A MUM has discovered her son is alive 17 years after her relatives stole him and told her he was dead.
Zhang Caihong recently learned that her cousin’s sister-in-law took her son away from her after she gave birth nearly two decades ago.
The mum’s tale has sparked outrage on social media in China, South China Morning Post reports.
Before Zhang’s baby was born, she feared her ex and his family might harm her so she decided to move to the safety of her cousin’s home.
But on the day her son was born, her cousin’s sister-in-law reportedly told her that her baby had been born severely disabled.
Zhang, from Jiangsu province in China, said she had no reason to doubt the sister-in-law and she was convinced to give the child up.

The cousin later lied and told Zhang her son had tragically frozen to death.
But in a dramatic twist, she recently found out her son was still alive and studying at secondary school – and she started looking for the teenager.
The determined mum managed to track him down and a DNA test reportedly confirmed he was her child.
And she then found out that the boy’s “adoptive” mum was the younger sister of her cousin’s wife.
Most read in News
Zhang is now fighting a legal battle to bring her son home.
But the boy’s “adoptive” mother and her husband are demanding Zhang repay the cash they spent raising the boy.
Zhang has refused to pay up on the grounds that they adopted her son illegally.
The mum hopes her cousin and his wife will also be punished for stealing her baby just hours after giving birth.
Zhang’s story has sparked outrage on social media in China.
One said: “Oh my god, what a poor soul Zhang is. Her cousin’s family is just too terrible.”
Another wrote: “Zhang must be very sad 17 years after she lost her baby.”
It comes after another bizarre tale emerged in China about a woman who was abandoned as a toddler.
The 29-year-old has been sued by her estranged parents after she refused to buy her brother a flat.
She was abandoned by her mum and dad when she was two as they reportedly felt they could not support her financially.
But when the daughter bought herself an apartment, her parents demanded she also buy one for her brother.
When Zhang refused, the parents incredibly brought her to court and sued her for 500,00 yuan – which is around £63,000.
The judge ruled that while she was not obligated to buy her brother property, she was legally required to help her mum and dad financially.

The court said Zhang must negotiate an amount to pay her parents under a “parental maintenance fee”.
This is because under Civil Code in China, adult children have a legal obligation to support their parents regardless of estrangement or abandonment.
I’m a medium who worked with Kelly Clarkson & Gloria Estefan – You can ‘speak to dead relatives’ with simple technique
A CELEBRITY medium has shared his belief that anyone has the power to develop a sixth sense and speak to their loved ones who have passed away.
Matt Fraser, who has wowed stars like Gloria Estefan and Kelly Clarkson with his work, shared insight into the secrets he says spirits have revealed to him.
Psychic medium Matt Fraser told The U.S. Sun anyone can communicate with their loved ones who have died through signs and dreams[/caption]
Fraser shocked Kelly Clarkson with his psychic abilities during an episode of her talk show[/caption]

The 31-year-old, who stars in the reality series Meet The Frasers on E! Entertainment, left his job as an EMT when he discovered his abilities, which left the audience at the Kelly Clarkson Show shocked back in 2020.
During his 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk: The Estefans, Fraser left superstar Gloria in tears when he supposedly delivered a message from her late mother.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, the psychic medium said people who pass away are still with their loved ones in spirit, and often try to communicate through signs.
“What’s amazing is they’re already trying to reach you using signs,” he said.

“Signs are little reminders of your loved ones in spirit, and those reminders can be anything and at any place.
Things like dragonflies, butterflies, repeated numbers, and certain songs or smells that come out of nowhere can all be signs from a loved one who has died, according to Fraser.
The signs are usually connected to a spirit’s life on earth, Fraser said.
For example, if someone was a fisherman, one way they could reach their loved ones could be through images of anchors of fishing hooks.

If someone was a florist, perhaps their loved ones could randomly smell flowers as a sign from the other side.
And anyone can train themselves to get in touch not only with these signs but also to communicate to the other side, he said.
“The first thing you can do to start developing your own ability is to talk to your loved one – Conversation is a two-way street, and your loved ones can talk to you but it starts with you,” Fraser shared.
Speaking out loud to your loved ones and saying things like “I’m glad you’re watching over me” can open up communication, he added.
“And then, asking them for signs: The best way to communicate with a loved one is to ask them for a sign. you can ask them for two things – a sign and to come through in your dreams,” Fraser concluded.
“When there is a message for you and you’re open to them, and you speak to your loved ones, they will try to get it through to you.”
Fraser’s book We Never Die: Secrets of AfterLife is on sale now on Amazon.

Louise
Fans have been guessing about Louise’s famous family member[/caption]
A follower on Claim To Fame’s Instagram page wrote: “Louise is giving me Simone Biles [vibes].”
It looks like this fan could be right, because it is being claimed Louise is actually Adria Biles (Louise is her middle name).
Which means her celebrity relative could be her sister, Olympic hero, Simone Biles.
Fans of the show are loving Louise despite saying she’s too easy to guess.
One posted: “I wanna be like Louise on #ClaimtoFame because everyone knows she’s related to Simone Biles but no one’s eliminating her because they like her so much LOL.”
Maxwell – OUT
Maxwell was asked to leave Claim To Fame for breaking the rules[/caption]
We know that Maxwell is the grandson of Chuck Norris as he has already been disqualified from the show.
Moments before fellow contestant Pepper was due to guess the celebrity connection of Maxwell, the Claim To Fame director interrupted and pulled the hosts off camera.
Host Kevin informed the participants that Maxwell had brought a phone into the house, which he was caught using on camera.
So Maxwell was disqualified from the competition.
Maxwell said on the show: “If the phone wasn’t seen, I would’ve been celebrating tonight. I broke the rule.”
Michael – OUT
Fans think Michael is related to Zendaya[/caption]
Claim To Fame viewers were convinced that Michael is related to actress of the moment, Zendaya.
He did reveal that his relative is an actress and that her biggest award was an Emmy.
Michael was eliminated in week two after he was unveiled as Zendaya’s cousin, Cubb Coleman.
Fellow contestant Pepper correctly guessed his famous relative, leading to his exit.
Pepper

X – OUT
Can you guess who X is related to?[/caption]
Fans are loving X.
Claim To Fame followers thought he might possibly be related to Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox.

Amara
Amara is the granddaughter of Whoppi Goldberg[/caption]
Well we know who Amara is related to, and that is Whoopi Goldberg.

Brittany – OUT

Brittany said in her promo video she “has to win the game” – but unfortunately for her she’s not winning this one.
