The house was about 300 years old. “我的房子可能比美国的任何东西都要老。” "My house was probably older than anything in America." “是啊，比大多数东西都老。” "Yeah, most things." “是啊。” "Yeah." 邻居过来说，我家新搬进去的那栋房子里有一个鬼魂。我当时大概15岁，所以我确实记得这件事。那个鬼魂是一个老人的——邻居是这么说的。 The neighbour came and she said that there was a spirit in the new house that my family moved into. I was about 15, so I do remember it. The spirit was of an old man — so the neighbour said. 有一次所有人都出去了，家里只有我一个人。我的卧室在顶楼，我能听见脚步声慢慢地上楼梯，但还有一种听起来像拐杖的声音。拐杖是老人用的棍子，就是老人用来帮助自己走路的那种。 One time when everyone was out, I was the only one in the house. My bedroom was on the top floor, and I could hear footsteps slowly coming up the stairs, but also the sound of what sounded like a cane. A cane is an old man's stick, like an old man uses to help them walk. 所以我能听见那个老人的拐杖轻轻地敲在地板上，上楼梯的脚步声是这样的……但接着就会有第三个声音，是拐杖的声音，对吧？那就像是——那是一种缓慢的走路声，然后拐杖又…… So I could hear the old man's cane, which was tapping lightly on the floor, and the stepping up the stairs was like… but then there would be a third sound of the cane, right? It was like a — it's a slow walking, and then the cane kind of… 而且它离我的卧室门越来越近。我心里想：“我的天，我的天，我的天。”然后我躲进了被子里。脚步声越来越近的时候，我一直躲在被子下面。 And it was getting closer and closer to my bedroom door. And I was thinking, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." And I hid under my bed sheets. I was hiding under the bed sheets as the footsteps got closer and closer. 到这个时候，脚步声走到了我的门口，我已经浑身是汗，全身湿透，那是紧张出的汗。我心里想：“我的天，就是现在了。我完蛋了。” By this time I was fully covered in sweat, completely wet, a nervous sweat, as the footsteps got to my door. And I was thinking, "Oh my god, this is it. I'm finished." 人对超自然经历的反应就是恐惧，因为那是未知的。你知道的，那是一种全新的东西，你只有在电影里才听说过，而电影里发生的都是最糟糕的事。 How you respond to paranormal experiences is with fear, because it's the unknown. You know, it's something completely new that you only hear about in movies where the worst things happen. “你一开始就知道那是超自然的吗，还是以为有人在房子里？” "Did you know it was paranormal at first, or did you think somebody was in the house?" 嗯，我当时一个人在家大概两三天，其他人都不在。而且我很清楚这一点。但正是那个脚步的节奏——咚、咚、咚、咚——还有拐杖那种轻轻的滴答声，让我确定那不是我家里的任何人。而且，那也不是入侵者。所有的门都是关着的，没有任何入侵者的迹象。 Well, I was alone in the house for like two or three days and everyone else was gone. And I knew that. But it was the rhythm of the footsteps — that boom, boom, boom, boom — and the kind of little ticking sound of the cane that confirmed to me that was no one in my family. But also, it's not an intruder. All the doors were closed and there was no sign of the intruder. 它越来越近，我浑身是汗，然后它到了我的门口。接着，就在我以为它要进来的时候——过了两分钟，什么也没有。过了五分钟，什么也没有。过了十分钟，什么也没有。然后我就下楼，四处看了看。之后大概有三天，我都没在那个房间睡觉。 As it got closer and closer, I was fully covered in sweat, and it got to my door. And then, just as I thought it was going to enter — after two minutes, nothing. After five minutes, nothing. After ten minutes, nothing. And I just went downstairs and kind of looked around. And I didn't sleep in that room for like three days after. “不是吧，那——你是过了多少分钟才开门的？” "No, that's — how many minutes later do you open the door?" 是啊，对我来说大概是十分钟。我记得我开门的时候有点像是“我不怕，我要抓住它”——就是那种肾上腺素上头的感觉，你懂吧？就像是，不管是谁在房子里，你……我当时手里可能还拿着个棒球棍之类的东西。我当时就想，好吧，我必须去查清楚这件事。是在十分钟之后。但我什么也没看见。我谁也没看见。 Yeah, for me it was about ten minutes. And I remember opening the door like, kind of, "I'm not afraid, I'm going to get it" — like kind of adrenaline, you know? It's just like, whoever's in the house, like, you… I might have even been holding like a baseball bat or something. I was kind of like, right, I have to investigate this. After ten minutes. But I didn't see anything. I didn't see anyone. 接下来说我爸——我父亲是意大利人，他在那边有一栋房子。而我知道，我在意大利的一个朋友告诉过我，他的祖母就是在那栋房子里去世的。 Next, my dad — my father is from Italy and he has a house over there. And I knew that one of my friends in Italy, he told me that his grandmother died in that house. 但是有一天晚上我在睡觉，在那个——我们楼上有一间很大的卧室，里面有三张床。夜里的某个时候，在我睡着之前，大概是晚上11点或者午夜，突然床的下半部分就沉了下去，床上所有的弹簧都被压了下去，就像有人用全身的力量和重量坐在了床上。我的腿也跟着沉了下去。有什么东西和我一起坐在床上。 But I was sleeping one night in the — we have a big bedroom upstairs and there's three beds in it. And sometime during the night, before I went to sleep, maybe about 11p.m., midnight, suddenly the bottom half of the bed just went down, and all the springs of the bed just went down, like with the full force and weight of someone sitting on the bed. Like my legs went down with it. There was something sitting on the bed with me. 是啊。所以我又一次下了楼，实际上我在客厅睡了两个星期，开着灯听播客。这大概是九年前的事，所以我当时大概29、30岁。 Yeah. And so again, I went downstairs and I slept in the living room for two weeks actually, like listening to a podcast with the light on. And this was about maybe nine years ago, so I was like 29, 30 years old. 有意思的是，我的一个好朋友来做客，他说：“那么，兄弟，我住哪个卧室？”我就说：“哦，你可以住楼上那间卧室。”我一个字都没提鬼的事。 Interestingly enough, a good friend of mine came to visit and he was like, "Well, man, what bedroom am I staying in?" And I was like, "Oh, you can have the upstairs bedroom." I didn't say anything about a ghost. 但第二天早上，他走下楼梯来到我朋友Nikki那里，用他那种单调的声音说：“你的房间闹鬼。”他下楼来吃早餐的时候就说：“你的房间闹鬼。”而我之前完全没有跟他提过我在那个房间的鬼故事经历。我就说：“为什么这么说？”他说：“有什么东西碰了我的脚。” But the next morning, as he walked down the stairs to my friend Nikki, he says in his monotonous voice, he's like, "Your room is haunted." And as he came down the stairs for breakfast, he says, "Your room is haunted." And I didn't say anything to him about my ghost experience in that room. And I was like, "Why is that?" And he said, "Something touched my foot." “那是能发生的最糟糕的事了。” "That's the worst thing that can happen." 是啊，当你躺在床上的时候，那是能发生的最可怕的事。所以，有东西摸了他的脚，就在那个曾经有东西坐在我床上的同一个房间里。而且在那之前，我在那个房间里有过好几次感觉，好像房间里还有别的什么东西和我在一起。但后来当有东西坐在我床上时，那就确认了那个房间里确实有某种实体。 Yeah, that's the most scary thing that can happen when you're lying in a bed. So something stroked his foot in the same room that something sat on my bed. And there's been a couple of times in that room previously where I felt like there was some kind of something else in the room with me. But then when something sat on my bed, that confirmed that there was some kind of entity in that room. The rest is at SimpleEnglishBooks.com/b8
