Show by Rye

Bethany, a longtime listener of Codega's Codex of Curiosities, shares the spiritual awakening that followed the loss of her infant son Cruz in 2018, along with a strange entity encounter that she and her husband witnessed independently on the same night. Bethany walks through the messages she believes came from Cruz, including a dream a stranger felt compelled to pass along and a moment where she heard her son's voice break through her grief, before describing the night everything changed: camped out in her car on a dark country road, Bethany entered a dream state and saw an impossibly tall, two-dimensional being with pale skin, oval eyes, and long talon-like fingers wrapped around her car's side mirror. What makes the account remarkable is that her husband Sean, wide awake in the driver's seat, described the exact same being in matching detail, down to the witch-like hands, without any prompting from her. Bethany and Rye dig into what the entity might have been, why she felt curiosity instead of fear, and how a tarot pull of the death card lined up with the night it all happened.In This Episode• Bethany, a longtime listener of the podcast, describes herself as a lifelong skeptic who never believed in the paranormal until her world changed in 2018, when she lost her infant son Cruz to SIDS at five months old. That loss became the starting point for a years-long spiritual awakening she still doesn't fully understand. • Shortly after Cruz's death, a woman Bethany barely knew reached out with an unsolicited dream: an older man rocking a baby, with a clear message that "we're okay." The timing lined up with the first anniversary of Cruz's death, and the description of the older man matched two grandfather figures Bethany and her husband had lost around the same time, though Bethany admits she wasn't ready to process it as anything more than strange at the time. • The real turning point came later, during a difficult period when Bethany was living apart from her husband Sean and working through unprocessed grief. In a moment of raw honesty with a family member, she heard what she describes as her son's voice, speaking as a five to seven year old, asking whether something good could still come from his death. It marked the start of her shift out of a dark period and into a more open relationship with the unexplained. • As she reconciled with Sean and leaned into tools like tarot for processing her emotions, Bethany pulled the death card for the first time, a card she associates with letting go of old patterns rather than literal death. That same night, while trying to put distance between herself and an old friendship, she and Sean ended up camping overnight in their car on a quiet, wooded road. • While asleep against the passenger window, Bethany entered what she describes as a dream state with multiple simultaneous perspectives: her own, one from above the vehicle, and one from her husband's point of view in the driver's seat. In it, she saw an impossibly tall, two-dimensional being, dressed entirely in black, with pale skin, oversized oval eyes, and long, talon-like fingers wrapped completely around the car's side mirror and resting near her window. • Bethany woke to the sound of squealing tires as Sean sped them away from the spot at dawn. Without telling him what she had seen, she began asking careful questions about what had scared him, and his answer matched her own account almost exactly, down to the witch-like, elongated fingers and the unnaturally pale skin, even though neither of them had described it to the other first. • Sean later admitted that when he saw the being staring in at Bethany through the window, he tried to back the car into it. Instead of being struck, the figure appeared to mist out of the way and stayed visible in his rearview mirror until it evaporated as they crested a hill at sunrise. • Unlike similar accounts Bethany has heard, including one involving a sleep paralysis style encounter with long spindly arms, she never felt fear during the sighting, only intense curiosity, as if the being were simply observing her. She theorizes it could be something ancient, tied to people going through major spiritual shifts or awakenings, though she's quick to admit she doesn't have a firm answer. • Bethany closes the conversation teasing a separate, unsettling discovery involving a heavy, decomposing object she and Sean uncovered that she plans to detail more fully in a future episode. Best Line of the Night "I believe more in the things I can't see than I do in the things that we do see."
