Spooky Motel and Diner

Full transcript of the My True Ghost Stories episode “Spooky Motel and Diner.” Listen to this episode.

Hello and welcome to episode 77 of My True Ghost Stories. For about 20 years, I had a recurring dream. And it was a very strange dream, and in the dream it seemed as if this was a situation that I had actually existed in. But I don't have any actual memory of this, but the dreams were so vivid and realistic that I thought that this was some memory of mine that I couldn't remember. In this dream, I was living in a motel.

And the motel was made of bricks and it had two stories. And for some reason in this recurring dream I had it many, many times. I was sleeping in a top bunk of a bed. But somehow I was able to communicate with the front office, the main desk of this motel, by yelling from my top bunk. So that part I never thought had actually happened.

That part seemed a little strange. So I thought that is there some motel that I stayed in, maybe on tour, that I slept in some top bunk or I communicated with the main office a lot? I couldn't remember anything like that, but the dreams were so real and so recurring that I thought maybe this did happen somehow. Now the other aspect of this dream is that there was a diner associated with this motel. And in this dream I would communicate with the front desk from my top bunk.

And in this dream I would also eat all my meals at this diner that had the same name as the motel. It was associated with the motel. So that was the recurring dream. Brick, motel, top bunk, I communicated with the main office and I ate all of my meals in the associated diner. I wrecked my brains throughout the years trying to remember when did this happen to me, did this happen to me?

Is this a story that I read? But it seemed very real. And then one day I was at the Jersey Shore. I've shared before about going to the Jersey Shore regularly. And one day while driving at the Jersey Shore we drove past this motel.

The motel was made of bricks and it was two stories just like the motel in my dreams. And it had a diner right next to it that had the same name as the motel. So they were right next to each other just a couple parking spots between the motel and the diner and they had the same name. Just like the motel in my dreams. Now something else about these recurring dreams.

In this dream I was communicating with the main desk from my top bunk and I was a man and I was also me. This is how I presented in this dream as a man who was also a woman who was myself. So in these recurring dreams where I went from the motel and ate all my meals at the diner, I was a man who was also a woman. And the day that I saw that motel on the side of the road I said hey that looks like the motel in my dreams. But we just sped by it wasn't really easy to get over there was like on the other side of the road.

So I just made a mental note of it and probably drove past that motel on the side of the road 50 more times before I did anything about it. This episode is going to be what I did about it. I often think that this podcast my true ghost stories is guiding me to the ghosts that I need to help. Last week I was working on a podcast episode about how I met Saint Michael which I will do. That's probably going to be next week's episode.

But something just kept interfering with my thought process on how to outline and how am I going to present this story about how I met Saint Michael. Something kept interfering to the point that I said okay I'm just going to put this outline down and I'm going to think about it. And after I thought about it I wound up having last minute plans to go to the Jersey Shore. And so we went to the Jersey Shore and while I was there I had that recurring dream about the motel with the associated diner. And I told my boyfriend I said you know what we need to go over to the motel.

So I think that the powers that be interfered with me writing the episode about Saint Michael and somehow knew that I was going to wind up at the Jersey Shore this weekend and said it is time for Jennifer to go help that ghost at the motel and diner. And so that's how it went. So I told my boyfriend we have to go over to that motel and he said why and I said well there's a ghost there that I need to help and you know he knows me well so he said okay fine what time do you want to go. So I said okay like how about three o'clock and we said fine let's do that and we set off at 230 to get to this motel by three. Now I had never we had never even slowed down the car for me to look at this motel.

I just had a feeling that that was it because of the associated diner and the shape the two stories of the motel. It looked a lot like the motel in my dreams and at this point I just knew that there was a ghost there waiting for me. So we drove and then we got to the parking lot and we had to make a quick right into the parking lot and some cars behind us leaned on their horns because apparently this was very inconvenient for them. Us slowing down and going into this parking lot but whatever that's Jersey. So we went into the parking lot and my chest started to tingle immediately immediately even as we were approaching the motel coming down the road my chest began to tingle.

So I told my boyfriend just stay in the car and go on your phone or something don't watch me because I would feel self conscious that somebody watching me. He had no interest in watching me do this. He's seen it before so he just stayed in the car and I got out of the car and I just started to walk around and three parking spots from where we were parked was the main office and the main office of this motel looked exactly like the ones in my dreams. It had a rectangular picture window leading inside and it was a single story it did not have a second story above it and it was sort of set off from the rest of the building it was like an annex of the rest of the building and it was attached to the motel. There was no bunk bed as far as I could see but there was a second floor and so I thought I bet that this ghost I'm dealing with lived on the second floor of this motel right near the office so that's how this person would communicate with the front office somehow it was at that angle that what I was seeing as a top bunk was actually the second floor.

On the office door it just said ring bell for service so I was grateful for that because that meant there was nobody in that main office that was going to watch me wander around talking to myself that's what it would have looked like so I just started to walk around and get a feeling for what I was dealing with here and there was definitely a ghost somewhere nearby because the tingling in my chest remained. I walked behind the motel I walked around the front the guidance that I was getting from St. Michael and other spirits was that it was room 220 that the spirit had lived in. So I just went and stood beneath room 220 and then I'm just going to call it guidance because it was more than just St. Michael it was other spirits that were guiding me in this particular one.

And guidance told me to walk from right underneath room 220 all the way over to the diner and it was pretty short route. I had to walk through the parking spots and then just over a little grassy median and then through the parking lot of the diner and then I was right there and I went up into the lobby of the diner and the tingling remained but guidance told me that I was going to walk around the diner. So I just went back and then I walked back and walked the steps again to re-walk the route from the steps in front of room 220 down through the parking lot over the median and through the diner parking lot and up into the lobby of the diner. That was the guidance that I was getting. I was a little nervous about this wandering, this slow wandering that I was doing around these two parking lots and around the back of the motel and that if anyone was watching me it would certainly look suspicious like I was casing the joint or it could have looked like I was some sort of private investigator.

This motel was not a mainstream common visit your family or come go to the beach motel it was obviously a place where people lived long term. It had weekly rates and monthly rates on the marquee outside and so I knew that this was not a regular motel and who knows what goes on there but obviously the spirit that I was dealing with lived there for some time and ate their meals. So I walked back and I went halfway up the stairs to be sort of in front of room 220 and the spirits that were guiding me said that that was fine and now they said now walk walk from the middle of these steps and retrace all those steps that you did before and then walk and go into the lobby of the diner. So as I crossed the parking lot to the diner I didn't see anyone in my walk in front of the motel but as I crossed the parking lot to the diner a woman came and started walking a little bit in front of me and she walked up the steps to the diner and then she just turned around I didn't think she had seen me but when she reached the top of the steps and got to the door of the diner she turned around quickly and she held the door open for me. And I said thank you and she said any time.

So that part was a little spooky because it seemed like she had been sent there just to open up the door for me so that I could perform this ascension ritual for this ghost. So I went into the lobby of the diner which is where I was being instructed that this spirit would ascend from the lobby of the diner. Now as I said earlier in this episode this spirit was a man and also me and I had a very sure sense that this spirit when they had lived on this earth was somewhere between a man and a woman. And as I entered the lobby the song that was playing was the song Jack and Diane by John Cougar and that song is definitely not about someone who is between a man and a woman. But the part of the song that was playing when I walked in is when he was saying their two names a little ditty about Jack and Diane and I thought okay this is definitely true this is someone who was between a man and a woman.

And as I stood there hearing that song play and just waiting to see what was going to happen my chest began to tingle so hard that it was it was uncomfortable it was almost to the point of being painful the level of vibration in my chest. And I waited and I sort of I I stood in different spots in that lobby I stood in different spots and I was also aware that people might be seeing me and so I thought okay if someone asks me what are you doing in the lobbies everything okay I would just say I'm waiting for someone I'm going to wait in here. I just had needed to have that little game plan so that I wouldn't be so self conscious. So I stood over here and then I stood over there and I stood by this door and there was another door on the other side from the door that I had come in and when I went and I stood over there I turned around and there was the ghost diagonally from me. And this ghost was very upset not just disturbed like frantically upset and really really anxious anxious to the point of being angry.

Then St. Michael took over I wasn't getting guidance from any other spirits anymore I was just St. Michael and Michael said tell this ghost it's time to go and I said it's time to go and this ghost was just looking at me with hands out stretched looking furious and this ghost said to me why did they leave me here and it was so sad and I didn't know the answer I didn't know anything about this except that it was time to go and we were retracing the steps that this person took from their motel room to this diner and now it was time to ascend from this lobby. Michael said to me explain what's going to happen I first answered the question and I said I don't know why they left you here but you don't have to stay here it's time to go. And then Michael reminded me explain to this ghost what's going to happen and I said okay some guys are going to come some guys are going to come that are going to take you to a better place where you can get help with all of this and you will feel better.

And the spirit was not really responding just being upset and angry and saying why did they leave me here why did they leave me here and I just I said please put your arms out to the side and the spirit did it put the arms out to the side which I think was the biggest struggle in this particular case was to get this spirit to assume the position in which they could ascend. Because as soon as they put their arms out these guides came in and lifted them up and it was a quick ascension once that happened and it was a painful ascension it hurt me it hurt me and my chest was vibrating so much. Now I had been in contact with this spirit in one way or the other through these dreams for 20 years so a lot of this residue was in me I believe and this was the right time to do it but I think all that residue just made this a very painful ascension for me. After the ghost ascended I subtly very very subtly because already I was thinking the people in this diner think I'm nuts I very subtly closed up the portal with very very small hand motions and I exhale deeply in an upward motion as if blowing the energy up to continue and that was that it was over and it was over for that ghost but it wasn't quite over for me. For me because the pain in my chest remained and I had to go back into the car where my boyfriend was happily scrolling on his phone and I said okay I'm done and I had to really take a lot of deep breaths to calm down and I had to cleanse myself psychically with some hand motions of any negative energy that might have attached to me.

I think it would have been so cool and it would have made a really cool story for you all if I had then like wrung that bell to the main office and gone in and said you know was there a person who matches this description who used to live in room 220 and go to the diner and it would have been really cool if I could have done that but I didn't want to do that. I really looked suspicious enough with all the walking around and the looking at door numbers and going halfway up the stairs and then down the stairs. I already looked suspicious enough and if I had done that then they'd think I was some sort of private investigator or something and you know I just I obviously don't want to get involved like that. But as fact that this spirit had lived there and had gone to the diner and I also accepted that I don't think say Michael wants me to find out the exact identity of this person. It's none of my business.

So this was a tough one. This one was tough for me but I got through it and just as importantly that spirit was able to finally cross over with my help St. Michael's and all those guides and hopefully that spirit on the other side will find some peace.
