Rudy Calderon - a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, faced with the paranormal that suddenly began to occur at his home. In desperation, he turned to social media for help and told his story.
According to the man, it all started with moving small objects around the house. Then in the kitchen drawers began to open by themselves. Most shocking was the Hebrew word scrawled in Yiddish with a kind of coal on a tiled bathroom wall. The word translates as "Danger".
At first, 28-year-old Calderon thought that someone in the house was playing a trick on him. However, after careful questioning, none of his family members confessed to the crime. And then another thing happened, just recently, around Christmas, both bathrooms were heavily flooded with water. Likewise, none of his family confessed.
Therefore, now Calderon is sure that this is definitely something paranormal.
Rudy's Hispanic family consists of his grandfather, aunt and two young cousins. In the video, which the man posted on his Facebook page on December 24, 2017, he shows the kitchen with open and pulled out cabinets. According to him, all this happened by itself and all objects move by themselves and none of the outsiders could enter the house.
In the post that accompanies the video, Calderon talks about his family and abnormal phenomena, that they hear strange sounds, and that two of his uncles came to pray for their relatives and tried to convince them that all this is only in their heads. But his family members are very scared. Aunt Rudy fainted from fear at the sight of the inscription.

At the end of his message, Rudy Kaltderon asks someone to help him and his family. His video post quickly spread across social media, he was reposted over 600 times, and many in the comments gave their advice on how the family can cope with the noisy spirit.
For example, user Frank Ibarra recommends finding a spiritually strong person who could drive out evil spirits with his prayers, while the emotions and anger of the Calderon family can, on the contrary, anger the spirit.
Others in the comments are convinced that this is all just a hoax. There are also just mocking messages. However, the majority still support Calderon. Arizona-based site azcentral.com even published the opinions of university researchers about an unusual case from Phoenix.
“Such phenomena are not unique,” says ghost researcher Christopher Baden of the University of California, Chapman University. “With the exception of the Yiddish word, such phenomena are typical and occur with many.
As for the Yiddish word, he said that sometimes such words are found in paranormal phenomena, but very rarely.
Baden co-authored the book Paranormal America and believes that television has practically "legitimized" paranormal activity in recent years and that some of his friends call this a negative aspect of our culture, as many people are very gullible. But at the same time, there is also a positive, many people are now not afraid to talk about their paranormal experiences.
Diana Goldstein, a professor of folklore at Indiana University, agrees with Baden that such phenomena are quite common and independent of the culture, educational level or income of the people with whom they happen. And the word in Yiddish surprises her, she has never encountered such a thing when studying stories about encounters with anomalous phenomena.
