Voices Told Him To Shoot People!

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an example of a demon-possessed man, filled with one or a multitude of demons causing an incredible evil and wicked act!

An ex-Marine sharpshooter who is accused of killing four people in Florida says “voices” told him to shoot people. The thirty-three year old African-American, Bryan Riley, is accused of fatally shooting four people at a home early in Lakeland, Florida, on a quiet Sunday morning.

He is charged with first degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, shooting into a building, second degree arson, and armed burglary with assault/battery, by the Polk County Sheriff’s office.

According to a police affidavit, Riley shot at deputies who entered the home, which led to him exchanging fire with the suspect. Riley held his first court appearance on Monday, where a judge ordered that he be held without bail.

When Riley surrendered, he was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound. He allegedly attempted to grab an officer’s gun while being transported. During an interview with police, Riley admitted to shooting several people and said "voices" instructed him to it!  He also acknowledged, that he did not know the people who were killed and wounded in the shootings.

One of the four people killed has been identified as forty-year-old Justice Gleason. Riley also killed a thirty-three-year-old woman and a three-month old infant she was holding!  Riley said he shot the baby because “I’m a sick guy. I want to confess to all of it and be sent to jail,” according to the affidavit.

The infant's sixty-two-year-old grandmother was also shot and killed, as was the family's dog!  An eleven-year-old was rushed to the hospital with severe injuries!

Riley also said the victims begged him to stop as he continued shooting, the affidavit said. He further said he set a nearby pickup truck on fire as an “exit strategy!"

Pub Ghost

Hello Everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Hayley Budd is convinced 'weird things' have long been going on at The Lansdowne Pub in Cardiff, Wales, and recently. she believes she caught a smoking gun on camera.

The thirty-three-year-old was taking a break on July twenty-sixth, when a chair seemingly slid across the room of its own accord! The mother-of-three is in no doubt this was the doing of a resident ghost dubbed by regulars as 'Lady Lansdowne'.

Hayley is worried the 'ghost' could leave her short-staffed. Reflecting on the creepy encounter, she said: "I wasn't looking at the chair, I was looking at my phone but I saw it out of the corner of my eye." I heard it as well so I asked a customer if they had seen anything and they'd also heard the noise.

I always try to find the most logical explanation so in the video, you can see me looking to see if it was something in my bag that had moved then I was trying to tell myself that maybe it was the wind. I've tried to recreate it so many times but there's no logical explanation. I checked the CCTV to make sure I hadn't been imagining it.

"I wasn't frightened enough to quit my job, and run out of there, but I was really shocked. I wasn't expecting to see that at all. I don't frighten easily so I still sit at that table on my breaks."

However, while Hayley might not be easily spooked, she's a tad concerned that these weird goings-on could leave her short-staffed. Who moved that chair? Got Lady Lansdowne written all over it. She said: "One girl who works here, thought she'd bumped into another member of staff, but when she turned around, he wasn't there."

Nobody has ever physically seen her [the apparent ghost] standing in front of them, but a couple of weeks ago, the chalkboard started randomly swinging. A lot of the staff have said that if anything like that happens when they're there, then they'll go home, so I hope Lady Lansdowne takes that into consideration, because I don't want to be short-staffed."

It seems the challenge for Hayley then will be convincing her employees that the invisible lady means no harm. She said: "Weird things do happen, but nothing quite as blatant and obvious as this!"

There's a long-term rumor among the regulars, about a woman haunting the pub, and people who live in the flats above the pub say there are strange goings on up there. When I close the pub and there are no customers, I'll go into the cellar to do paperwork or change a barrel and it sounds like there's furniture moving upstairs but when I go up, everything is as I left it.

I'm not scared just because I've worked here for eight years, and she's never done anything that's a cause for concern. She clearly just wants to make herself known.

Shore Leave In Naples

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I was up in Wisconsin visiting family,  from my mother's side of the family. She was born and raised in Central Wisconsin, In a little town called Wautoma. We stayed with my Aunt and Uncle Jerry and Nancy Mankowski, who are still living on the old dairy farm.

One afternoon on the kitchen table Jerry is telling stories about his Navy days. He served for the USS Wadleigh in the fifties. The Wadleigh was a small destroyer. Jerry told us a story about when he got shore leave in Naples, Italy.

This was not long after World War II and all the devastation that entailed! Jerry in a couple of friends with the town in Naples. They got a hotel room for three days and two nights for only ten dollars! It was a very nice hotel. But after World War II, not a lot of tourists were going to Italy because of the war devastation.

Jerry and his friends partied in the town and had a nice supper that evening. They said the meat and their food tasted kind of strange. After the shore leave was over, They started talking with some of the guys on the ship. They said a lot of restaurants in Italy are still using dog and rat meat in their food. 

Jerry and his friends did not understand how poor the Italians were after World War II. In order to get by they would use marginal meats and just not tell anybody about it. The mayonnaise would make no mention of what type of meat it actually was! But that's okay It didn't kill him!

Drew's Meeting With God

Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!

I was offloading my one and only load for the day, at Goodman Manufacturing. I deliver to them all of their Freon, that they use for the factory for the manufacturing of their air conditioners.

Drew and I were talking, well mostly Drew was talking. Drew is a middle ages white guy who is about anti-government as they come! They told me a story about his encounter with God. This happened years ago when he was twenty-seven years old, he is about fifty today. 

He testified to me, "I got up early in the morning my wife was still asleep, so I got up and made coffee, and went out into the garage. That's when I heard the voice of God. It was a very soothing voice, but at the same time, very authoritative."

He started talking to Drew and Carrie not a conversation. At this time Drew was a very conservative Christian. So he was wanting to discern the spirit. So he said that this is a false spirit! "I rebuke it in the name of Jesus Christ," he proclaimed!

The voice said, "I cannot rebuke myself." So Drew was convinced this was the voice of God! This voice told him that he would be a teacher later in life. Drew said this was his first and only supernatural experience with God.

Booze Under The Rumble Seat

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

The great things about visiting relatives is that you can ask them questions about your family history. And you can hear the stories that your parents didn't want to tell you!  That's the good stuff!

My Uncle Jerry is at the kitchen table where he tells the stories. He told me about my grandfather, and now he ran moonshine for Al Capone crime family in Chicago during the wild thirties.

My grandfather had a Pontiac coupe with rumble seats in the back. Underneath the rumble seats was a large empty area. You couldn't see what was under the rumble seat when the rumble seat was closed. That made a great hiding place for booze!

So my grandfather would drive from South Chicago, to a coffee shop somewhere in North Chicago, where he would park across the street, and park his car in the direction that he was wanting to go, which would be south. That told the mobsters that they needed to load full bottles of booze to go south

My grandfather would sip coffee coffee shop until the manager would come out and nod his head. That meant that he was ready to go. So my grandfather would leave the coffee shop, get into his car, and head south to South Chicago where he would stop at another coffee shop.

At this coffee shop he would park across the street pointing north, telling them that he had full booze to be unloaded, and needed to be reloaded with empty bottles. After he was done for the night he grabbed two or three hours sleep and go to his daytime job shoveling loose asbestos! No mask, no breathing air, no nothing back in those days.

My grandfather was paid five dollars a trip by the Capone crime family. That made ten dollars a night total. Making ten dollars a night during the Great Depression in the thirties was a lot of money! That was back in the days when people would try to sell an apple for a nickel! So if you were making ten dollars a night, you are making good money!

When Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion by the Untouchables, and put in prison, my grandfather decided it was time to get out of town. So my grandparents bought a dairy farm in Central Wisconsin, and settled down as a country farmers. He farmed  for the rest of his life, and we were sitting in the kitchen table in the old family farmhouse.

Swimming In The Mediterranean

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I was up in Wisconsin with my wife and mother, visiting my mother's family, who still lives up there. We were staying with my Aunt and Uncle, Jerry and Nancy Mankowski, who are still living in the old farmhouse.

One afternoon we are sitting around the kitchen table telling stories. Jerry was telling about his old Navy days back in the fifties.  He served on the destroyer USS Wadleigh, DD 689. Wild board that ship they went on a Mediterranean cruise.

They stopped in many ports throughout the Mediterranean when they were there. One of the places they went was off the coast of Israel and Lebanon. Country of Lebanon was having political issues. The USS Wadleigh was assigned to cruise, very slowly, at only five knots an hour, up and down the coast of Lebanon and Israel.

Those two countries are very small so going very slow is not a problem. While they're sailing up the coast, the captain ordered crew swimming! That means the crew can take turns jumping into the sea for a swim. Times of cruise swimming was very popular among the crew. It was also very rare for that captain to give that order. 

Uncle Jerry has a lot of stories from his Navy days, it seems it was a good memory for him. I can understand that I spent four years in the United States Air Force in the eighties, and I have lots of good memories from those days as well.

Cooning Melons

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I had flown up to Wisconsin with my mother, and wife, to visit my mother's brother, my Uncle Jerry and Aunt Nancy.. We did a lot sitting around and talking the whole week. Life there is very slow!

One afternoon we were all around the kitchen table telling stories. Jerry was telling most of the stories since he's a good storyteller. Both Jerry and my mother both told a story of them cooning melons from the neighbor.

The neighbor across the lake reported my grandfather had a gun that he not was allowed to have. The sheriff came by the farm and confiscated the gun. Ever since then my grandfather and this neighbor across the lake was on bad terms.

So two of his kids, my uncle Jerry and my mother Bernadine, both teenagers at the time, decided to coon some of his melons. That neighbor had twenty acres of watermelons, just on their saw the lake from the family farm.

So that summer they would go by rowboat across the lake and coon some watermelons. Cooning is going at night, and to the fields, and stealing fruits of a farmers crop. In this case it was watermelon.

They would row in the rowboat across the lake, take some melons, and as they rowed back across the lake, they ate the melons and threw the remains in the lake. So they had the fun of stealing the melons, eating the melons, and then getting rid of the evidence down to the bottom of the lake.

Sounds kind of bad, but those are just country kids having a good time. The twenty acres of melons produced thousands of watermelons, and a handful didn't make any difference. But I imagine it was lots of fun rowing across the lake at night.

Have you ever cooned watermelons or anything else? Can you tell him us about it in the comments section? If you enjoyed this story, you can click on the "follow" button at the top of the page to catch all future stories.
