Welcome to Paranormal Radio. I'm your host, Nate Raderman. And tonight, we're going to be talking about the Museum of Shadows and the paranormal activity that goes on inside of it and what people have actually experienced and what they've seen or felt. So those of you that are new to listening...
and don't know what the Museum of Shadows is, that's actually my museum. It's actually been voted one of the most haunted museums in the world, and we house the largest collection of verified haunted artifacts inside the museum. You never know what's going to happen inside there. So you've got to remember, with all these items, and they all have spirit attachments to them, these spirits are quite active. I mean, we've had items physically thrown,
full-figure apparitions that have been seen, disembodied voices, people being scratched. You never know. That's the thing. Total skeptics have came in, which is, I love it because they walk in and, you know, thinking like, oh, okay, whatever, nothing's going to happen. And then literally they get scratched or they see something and it changes them. And that's what I like. It's like one of my most favorite things because you literally either changed a skeptic
or you opened him up to the possibility of the unexplained slash paranormal. So inside the museum, it's very common for people to see apparitions. People have reported, and I've seen them as well, and we have a lot of video footage out there on YouTube under Museum of Shadows, but...
are seen. There's one child that shows himself quite often. He's actually attached to an item that is a scythe, and it's a sad story, to be honest. He was helping his dad on the farm, and he literally went to put it back, and he set it upright, and basically...
As he was walking away, the scythe fell and impaled him, and unfortunately he died. But he shows himself quite often, especially next to the item itself. But he's also kind of ornery, too. He'll move things around. He likes to play jokes. And a lot of people during our investigations after hours, a lot of people have actually caught him in photos or even actually seen them.
or seen him with their own eyes while touring through the museum during the day and after hours as well. So he's one of the most common that is seen quite often inside the Museum of Shadows. We also see a lady that's dressed in white quite often and she's also wearing her wedding dress and we do have her wedding dress on display in the museum. Unfortunately she was killed on her wedding night
And she actually shows herself throughout the entire building. Many have seen her. Usually when she does show herself, it's for just a few seconds and then fades away. Others have also reported seeing her walking like a specific direction and then stopping and looking at them and then will take like what looks like one or two more steps and then is gone.
So that's quite common to see her. People have also caught her in photos and video at the museum as well. So those two for sure are very common to see. Another thing that a lot of people see, we do have a room in the museum called the Next Realm. Everything in that room has a demonic or evil attachment to the artifacts.
Many have actually seen demons or a goat-like creature that they've seen. We have captured many on photos and video. I do have some on Instagram as well under Museum of Shadows. So if you are curious to what the photos look like or the demons look like, there's some photos there. Also, we do have video on YouTube of...
It's very common in that room for people to hear what sounds like hooves or goat hooves or something walking around, and we actually caught actual footprints walking around in the room. And the crazy thing is, and what I mean by footprints, it's a cement floor, and there's literally these wet marks or wet spots that appear in the shape of a hoof.
And it's really amazing footage to actually see them appear and move throughout and then just over time they just disappear.
Like I said, that's on YouTube. Also on social media, we have that video, several videos out there of that that we've posted. But that's another common, very common thing that people see while touring through the museum is in the next realm, people have actually seen horn-like demon creatures, which is quite common. People get scratched in there. They hear grunting. They hear growling.
hissing. They also report hearing what sounds like hooves walking or moving throughout that room. But I mean, you just never know in that room. There's a lot of items in there. We have the item that's the devil box. And I was doing a sit challenge with someone the other day. And I asked during our sit challenge, I asked them, hey, what's
Are you attached to that devil box? If so, can you rattle the display case? And literally as soon as I said that, the display case started rattling. And it was amazing to get that evidence, but it was also kind of startling as well. But for those of you that don't know what the sit challenge that I was talking about is, that's where you got to see if you can make it in complete darkness for 10 minutes without tapping out.
So it's one of the things we're known for at the museum, where people can actually sit in a room with the artifacts and see if they can make it without tapping. It's definitely a rush, so if that's something you're into or want to try it, it's a lot of fun.
Another item that everybody really likes to come out and see, of course, is Ada. You know, she's been voted one of the most haunted dolls in the world. She likes to move a lot. And people, while, you know, just sitting there reading her card and her story, or even just talking with her, they've asked her, hey, can you move your head? Can you move for me? Move your arm. And it's happened. That's very, very common. She's very powerful. She will...
pretty much do anything she wants if she chooses to. We have video footage of her actually leaning forward, hitting her face on the glass case, and then sitting back up inside the display case. And we also have footage of her trying to crawl out of the display case. And with her, as long as you're nice to her, you have nothing to worry about. It's just when some people provoke her, things can get a little iffy sometimes.
But you gotta remember, it's a six-year-old little girl that's attached to this doll. And unfortunately, she was beaten to death by her uncle. And so, you know, with guys in general, she's a little standoffish. But...
She's very sweet. She gets visitors from all over the world that come out to see her. She gets fan mail every day. People write her letters. Kids and families draw photos. Usually it's a lot of people when they come in and they meet her.
they feel this strong connection with her and then they have like a dream about her nothing bad but they have like a dream and then they're just they feel drawn to her so they want to come out and actually talk to her and see her people you know read her books they they literally they'll bring a storybook in and they'll sit down right there and they'll read a book to her and they
People will talk to her. They'll use spirit boxes and different paranormal equipment like K2 meters and EMF meters and all kinds of stuff. She'll interact with everyone, but especially on the spirit box, she likes to talk and she'll say her name. She'll usually tell people if they ask how she died, she'll tell you.
But she's very common, very, very common to move. And you could just walk right in. You could be looking at her for a couple seconds and you could ask her, hey, can you move? And it's possible she could. One other item I'd like to talk about is Tildy. Tildy is an actual doll that has cremations inside the doll that was found inside a wall and was donated to our museum.
Keep in mind, I should have mentioned this earlier, everything in our museum is donated from around the world. We get thousands of items donated on a daily basis, and everything goes through a quarantine process prior to coming in, so we know that there's something actually attached to the item, and then everything is researched as well.
But Tilde, she's in a glass display case, and she has a door on the front of it that it'll swing open if you unhook it and choose to open it. Well, a lot of people lately inside the museum, right after reading her story and then moving on to the coffin that's right beside it,
her door will literally swing open like unhook and or unlatch and swing open. And I know there's been several people out there that have actually experienced this firsthand and freaked them out because magically, you know, the door opened and they didn't expect it. And so she's quite active lately. So definitely if you're, if you're out in the area, um, and you want to, these are some of the top ones you want to talk to, um,
I mean, by all means, anyone in there can do something if they choose to. But these ones are the ones that are very most common to interact on a daily basis. But yeah, Tildy, definitely worth checking out.
And another one that I want to mention is called Twisty. He is actually a clown. Everybody this last, pretty much this last year, have had a lot of really good interaction with him. They'll just stand there. He's kind of hanging from the ceiling in an area, and he doesn't really move that much. What's interesting is usually everybody will sit there and they'll start talking to him or they'll read their story.
And then he'll like turn away or they'll walk away and he'll turn and follow them and then stay watching them. And then when they move to another part of the room, he will then turn and follow and stay in that exact direction facing them. So that's pretty cool because like I said, you never know, you know, who they're going to interact with. Everybody's energy is different.
And a lot of people, you know, they come in and they're like, hey, can you show me something? Can you do something? And it happens. And that's the best part is because they get to experience something unexplainable and they witnessed it for themselves firsthand. That's why even like on after hours during our investigations, I let everybody, you know, bring your cameras, bring your phones, you know, paranormal equipment, because you get to be an investigator during that investigation.
and you get to capture something on your own. One other thing lately that's been kind of strange but quite interesting as well is we have the bathroom door. So this bathroom door literally keeps opening on its own. And I have several videos out there on YouTube, social media, at our Museum of Shadows that literally say,
While guests are touring through, they'll be sitting there reading nowhere near the door, and the door will just randomly open. And now here's the interesting part, is clearly the door is opening from the outside, and the reason why I say that it's opening from the outside is because when you walk through that doorway, there's an automatic sensor that kicks the light on. So when this door opens, the light never goes off.
And it hasn't yet. And it's opened like several times. I mean, it's never turned on once.
So that's another thing that's quite common. I know just the other day somebody seen the video. They came out. They were touring through, and they specifically stopped. They said they stopped right by the bathroom door, but they took like maybe 10 steps back from it and started asking questions, and they say, can you open the door? And it happened. And they were freaking out because they're like, oh my God, this actually just happened, and they didn't expect it to. So...
Not sure what's up with that bathroom door or why one of the spirits keep opening it, but it's definitely interesting for sure. It just makes me wonder if it's one of the spirits, especially Eyes that's sitting there next to it. Eyes is a doll who literally likes to walk off.
the stand or shelf that she's on and she's been featured on Travel Channel on Paranormal's Caught on Camera but she's quite active as well she every day it seems like she's either moved or on the floor but that's kind of common for her so it makes me wonder if she's not the one since she's right by there if that spirit's literally just opening the door to mess with people
There's so many artifacts. I mean, right now we're at 3,800 artifacts inside the museum. And like I said, we add to it every day. And I mean, with all this spirit energy in one location, I mean, you never know what's going to happen.
But I want to drop real quick. We do have season two coming soon on Amazon Prime called Museum of Shadows. The first season was located at our old location in Platt Smith. Now our new location, we are downtown Omaha in the Old Market and...
The new season will be featured inside the new building, so it's definitely going to be intense as always. And I can't wait for you guys to see all these episodes and see this season. It's going to be amazing. But also watch our website and social media for updates as we do have some more exciting news coming soon as well.
And as always, thank you guys for listening. And if you have any questions, comments, or anything, or if there's anything you'd like to talk about, or if you'd like to be a guest on the show, hit me up on social media. And thank you all.
