1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:07.240
Haunted houses too terrifying to be true, being trapped upside down on an amusement

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.400
park ride for over thirty minutes,
and reading a book that will help you

3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.640
celebrate Halloween and party like it's nineteen
fourteen. Get comfort, turn off the

4
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:29.640
lights. It's Monthly Spooky. Well, hello, my Spookyes, Michelle,

5
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:34.520
you should not be yawning right at
the beginning of the show. Very rude,

6
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:42.920
very rude, unprofessional. But welcome
my spookies to Monthly Spooky. I'm

7
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.240
thrilled to bring this to you as
we bring to a clothes the most eventful

8
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:55.280
October maybe of my life. What
is that? Is that too extreme?

9
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.880
No, no, it sounds about
right. Well, I mean it was

10
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.560
eventful for you too. You Michelle, you narrated your first story on Weekly

11
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:12.239
Spooky. Yeah, you sound very
proud. We got positive feedback from it.

12
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.560
They were just trying to make me
about what how much? I mean,

13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.959
you know maybe, but I don't
know about that, man, I

14
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:30.760
don't know. But but for those
who somehow don't know, but now we're

15
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.519
listening. Thirty Well, it was
a lie. It was supposed to be

16
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.840
thirty one shows in thirty one days. It ended up being thirty three.

17
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.920
Well, you know, stuff happens
when you party naked. What do you

18
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.400
want? You know? But end
up with just a few extra shows.

19
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:59.040
And this episode has the luxury of
being published on Beggar's Night, well not

20
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:07.040
beggars well, kind of mischief night, the night before Halloween, and I

21
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:14.280
couldn't be happier. Maybe, although
chell I was looking at this here December

22
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:23.680
calendar and our monthly spooky will be
on Christmas Day? No that bad?

23
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:32.120
How's that bad? Because because when
it's when everybody listens to it on the

24
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.159
way to visit their relatives, they'll
be so upset by it, they'll have

25
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.599
a really bad, a horrible time, and it'll be all our fault.

26
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.439
Well I'm okay with that. I
don't know why you're not. But so

27
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:52.400
yeah, we're we're heading towards the
end of spooky season, uh well mainstream

28
00:02:52.439 --> 00:03:00.840
spooky season anyway, and I I
managed to have some fun. It's funny

29
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.039
because Halloween season is like, it's
like that joke about how you know alcoholics

30
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:14.319
call New Year's Eve amateur night.
You know, it's like a Halloween season.

31
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.199
I love it, but I do
you know, dabble in spooky all

32
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:23.879
year long. Yeah, why not? I mean I do, but excuse

33
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.039
me, but this year I decided
to publish at least once a day in

34
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.840
October. So it became a very
challenging month very quickly. But I but

35
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.759
I managed to have some fun.
Last night. I went to a spook

36
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:46.400
house. I like calling them spook
houses instead of haunted houses. Yeah.

37
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.599
Thanks for acknowledging that. You're like, You're like, yes, you do.

38
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.719
I have called the police. It's
like, okay, gees, tell

39
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.000
but no, I went to a
spook house. It's called Face Your Fears

40
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.919
Hotel of Terror in Springfield, Ohio. Had a really good time. It

41
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.520
was not super packed. We got
there at nine, and it seems like

42
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.639
the peak time for spook houses is
about ten and eleven. They close at

43
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.079
midnight. Okay, so but we
had a really good time. We paid

44
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.279
a little extra for like the super
fast line passes, so we got there

45
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:29.279
and we were in the haunted House
in about twenty minutes. Yeah. And

46
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.879
you would love this haunted house,
if only so that you could look at

47
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.319
the way it's built. It is
an old former hotel, like a small

48
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:43.360
old style hotel, and you walk
through it. They actually one of the

49
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.920
first rules they give you when you're
going through it is they say, please

50
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.240
be aware there are a lot of
stairs, tons and tons of stairs,

51
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.879
and you're like okay, and they're
like, no, haunters will bother you

52
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.519
on the stairs, so just relax
and take your time going up and down

53
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:04.319
the stairs, which I took as
an opportunity to stop and catch my breath

54
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.120
on the stairs because I knew nobody
with a chainsaw was gonna come at me.

55
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:16.759
It was so scary. They they
What I love about haunts nowadays is

56
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:24.279
they've become self aware in that say, you'll be in a room and they'll

57
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:30.079
put dummies places where you clearly would
believe there'll be people, So you're constantly

58
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:39.759
wondering who's the people and who's a
not people. The other thing is they

59
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.040
have these things called touch passes.
There. Are you familiar with the touch

60
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.680
pass? It's a pass you pay
like two dollars for. It's like a

61
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.560
glowing necklace, and if you're wearing
it, it tells the haunt performers that

62
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.639
they're allowed to touch you. Oh
okay, yeah I do. Yeah,

63
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.800
I did not get the touch pass. I am already terrified of haunted houses.

64
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.519
Yeah, I just don't want people. Oh well it was it was

65
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.959
something. But the funniest part was
one of the monster creature things like right

66
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.600
at the beginning, put a touch
pass around my neck and I was like,

67
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.399
no, thank you, no,
like you put one around my neck

68
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.480
and I was like no, no, no, but I think something you

69
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:23.839
would like that. I really think
they did, like as ant as the

70
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.680
Haunt. I don't think it was
actually you know, I think it was

71
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.920
intentional. Is they put discarded touch
passes all over the scarier parts. I

72
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.600
don't think people were actually ripping them
off and throwing them down, but the

73
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:41.879
idea that they were made me more
scared. And they'd have like people like

74
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.319
chained to wall like dummies chained to
walls and stuff, dead like creatures,

75
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.759
and they all had touch passes around, which I was like, that's so

76
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:58.720
cool. So you go up this
Hotel of Terror and you go all the

77
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.560
way up to the attic, like
you go way, way way up.

78
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.399
Then once you're in the attic,
you actually go out one of those you

79
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.360
know, one of those doors that
like old buildings have, they have doors

80
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.160
that go nowhere where. It's just
how they got like furniture in and stuff.

81
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.800
In the olden days, you know
the second story doors, third story

82
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.639
doors. You know, I'm talking
about houses that just have doors. Oh

83
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.680
g oh, let's just go outside. But they're on like the fifth floor,

84
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.879
which I always thought was weird until
I found out that was just for

85
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.519
furniture, apparently because you'd put it
on a pulley. And I mean,

86
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.439
that's a good idea. I'm sure
some of them are from like old portrait

87
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:42.000
could be, or like the houses
that I've been inspecting that have that have

88
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.879
uh, sliding doors on the basically
the second floor, because they're supposed to

89
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.160
have decks, but they didn't build
decks. Well, what they did was

90
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.120
when you get to the attic after
that haunt, you go out and they

91
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:58.839
built stairs on the outside so that
you literally can kind of circle around the

92
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.000
building to get lower and lower,
and then you go back in do a

93
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.439
little bit more, and then you're
back outside and you're going lower and lower,

94
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.920
and the final part of the haunt, you're going out back where there's

95
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.519
like kind of a swamp swampy kind
of area. And the coolest thing I

96
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:20.879
was not prepared for was they had
these huge chalagen lights simulating lightning, and

97
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.319
it was really convincing at first,
like because it would come from here and

98
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.439
there and there and there, you
know, it would come from all over

99
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.120
and you'd be like, ah,
what and then people would jump out with

100
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:35.080
chainsaws and go hey and stuff like
that. I hadn't been the last time

101
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.600
I went to a haunt was in
twenty twenty one. I went to terror

102
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.200
Town, the Old West Haunt,
which that's an extreme haunt they do like

103
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.840
really extreme stuff. This was more
of a standard haunt, you know.

104
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.919
It just people jumping out and scaring
you and yelling at you and like spark

105
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.600
machines and stuff like that. Lots
of machines that suddenly blow hot air at

106
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.039
your legs, which is really startling. Yeah. But yeah, so then

107
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.519
the last part where there's lightning and
you're going and you're walking around walls that

108
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.639
are basically made of like multiple palettes, so like there's slots that like light's

109
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.360
cutting through and stuff. They had
people with chainsaws like running around getting in

110
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.399
your face and screaming and it was
it was really really fun. The only

111
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.720
haunted house that beat this experience for
me was when I went to the Louisbourg

112
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.559
Haunted Caves, which is like a
next level haunt. It's an actual a

113
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.360
cavern you go down that's like a
sixty dollars haunt, Like it's very long,

114
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.960
like it's this was a twenty dollars
haunt. So it was about twenty

115
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:41.679
minutes of like whoo, and then
you're out. The Louisbourg Haunted Caves is

116
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:48.480
unbelievably massive, but like at one
point you're going through the dark and they

117
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.840
recommend that you put your hands on
your people's shoulders, you know, so

118
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.639
you could you don't lose each other, and a haunter. I was in

119
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.399
the middle, and a haunter had
walked up and gotten the person behind me

120
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.360
to move and put their hand on
my shoulder instead. So we were going

121
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.320
I'm like, ah, there's just
the guy with like the makeup and like

122
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.679
the white eyeballs and stuff. It
was perfect. It was so good.

123
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.720
I'm a big scaredy cat, but
I also love it. I mean,

124
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.639
I enjoy being scared. I enjoy
the fun of the spook house very much.

125
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.919
And every year every year since especially
since I stopped traveling all October,

126
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.240
I used to have to travel the
whole month every year, I make this

127
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.240
promise to myself I'm like, I'm
gonna go to a haunt every weekend because

128
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.399
there's so many good haunts around here, and then every year I don't even

129
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.960
make it to one. So this
year I made it to one. I

130
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.360
have debated going to another one tonight, but I don't think I'm going to.

131
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.440
The other negative is you don't really
want to go to haunts by yourself.

132
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.519
It's very inconvenient for the haunt itself. They need parties, you know,

133
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.480
of two or more, so it's
kind of hard because then you kind

134
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.679
of slow everything down. But no, it was really really cool. If

135
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.279
you're in the Ohio area. Obviously
you're gonna listen to this. It's gonna

136
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.399
be too late for this year.
But the Face Your Fears Hotel of Terror

137
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.399
was really fun. It also had
a cool midway where you could take photos

138
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.440
with haunt workers and you could get
a you know, an elephant ear,

139
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.559
and you know, they had fried
food and it was really fun. I

140
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.039
got a baggie of blood, which
was just a like a sour cherry drink

141
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.399
in a blood bag. I bought
one of those. It was really tasty.

142
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.960
I just thought it was fun to
walk around sucking on a blood bag.

143
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.799
But I had a great time and
it was funny though. I had

144
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.879
put a call out on Facebook saying, like, what are good haunts in

145
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.279
the Dayton area, because like Louisbourghonta
Caves is amazing, that's an hour and

146
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.480
twenty minutes away. A lot of
the big, literal big haunts, like

147
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.480
the physically gargantuan haunts, they're pretty
far away because it's expensive and you have

148
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.240
to consider that, like it has
to be property that they can use for

149
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.919
this haunt, but then can let
kind of sit dormant for eleven months.

150
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.559
So it's probably got to be where
the taxes aren't very high. It's probably

151
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.000
got to be where the cost is
not very high, or where they can

152
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.360
repurpose it. Yeah, but a
lot of these it doesn't appear they repurpose

153
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.919
them. So uh. Louisburkhanic Cave
though, that was amazing, and that

154
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.679
was an example. We waited in
line like an hour, I mean,

155
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.519
which is not uncommon, but that
was the thing I tried to tell people.

156
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.639
I was like, I don't need
the best haunt in the world.

157
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.440
I just want the experience. I
want to go, I want to drive

158
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.440
out there, I want to wait
in line with all the people excited to

159
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.200
be scared. I want to see
the children crying. I want to buy

160
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.879
a funnel cake. I want that. That's the HALLOWEENI experience I desperately needed.

161
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.600
So I did get it last night. It was super fun, had

162
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.519
a really good time. You mentioned
I was surprised to find out you've went

163
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:56.000
to a haunt before. Yeah,
I just didn't imagine you would like something

164
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.399
like that. No, I mean
it's like, yeah, it's okay,

165
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.559
Like I've been to when I was
growing up, we did like a bunch

166
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.960
of like haunted hay ride, Yeah, and then all the guys come out

167
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:18.080
with chainsaws. And but then I
went to the Eastern State Penitentiary has a

168
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:24.080
haunted prison thing that they do every
year. So I went to that several

169
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.960
years ago. Someone was telling me
about a haunted prison, but not like

170
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.159
a haunt haunted prison, like a
like supposedly really haunted prison. They were

171
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.240
like and they were like, think
about how scary that would be a big

172
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.480
empty prison, And I was like, a full prison sounds scarier. Yeah,

173
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.840
no, definitely, Like these aren't
so scary anymore because there's like not

174
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.919
people in them who are being locked
up Eastern State is a really cool prison.

175
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.720
And it's right and it's right in
Philly, like in the city,

176
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.720
so that's pretty it's pretty cool.
And it does operate as a museum.

177
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.639
That's really cool. There's apparently one
I'm forgetting the name of it off the

178
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.159
top of my head, but there's
one that's like a little ways away from

179
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.679
here, about an hour ten away
from here, that is like instead of

180
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.399
a haunted hay ride, it's like
a school bus tour. They like load

181
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.240
you into school buses and drive you
along and they make stops and stuff.

182
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.279
I wanted to check that out,
but I just didn't have the time.

183
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.639
Yeah. So, and honestly,
with how much I've been recording and how

184
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.440
much I've been doing, the idea
of driving somewhere for like an hour and

185
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.000
a half by myself at night doesn't
sound wise. I'm tired. I've been

186
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.960
working a lot these year. I
don't know, I don't know. We

187
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.960
have to be knocking on. Like
twenty hours of weekly spooky content was released

188
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.600
this month. It might be more
than that. Probably, It's a lot

189
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.879
for this poor voice. So but
sheel, what did you do? Do

190
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.919
you anything? Halloween? I know
you finally decorated your home, you put

191
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.840
up some cobwebs and stuff. Yeah, but it was hard because I had

192
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.000
to not put it up over the
real spiders. I see that meme all

193
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.240
the time. That's like me knocking
down a spider's web, me around Halloween

194
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:16.600
putting up a cobweb spider. Wow. Yeah, yeah, Actually cobweb spiders

195
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.120
the ones that make those webs that
are like not very pretty. They kind

196
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.679
of like the Halloween webs, and
they will use them as a base epic.

197
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.279
I love that. That's that is
adapt overcome, survive. Yeah.

198
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.720
Well, we used to film in
this creepy haunt of this creepy creepy house

199
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.120
that we used for like a lot
of movies, and nobody lived there at

200
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.159
the time, and we we accidentally
left some cobwebs in the basement and nobody

201
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.200
said anything because there were real cob
webs too. We just didn't mean to.

202
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.360
We just kind of forgot because it
was hard to tell them apart.

203
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:58.799
So okay, well that's our halloweeniness
for now, because today we are going

204
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.879
to dive into our spooky news here
in just a moment, and then we're

205
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:07.399
gonna dive into a collection of ways
to celebrate Halloween. I'm not sure how

206
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.759
they said it back then when they
had the apostrophe and ween, but I've

207
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:17.000
obtained a tome from nineteen fourteen that
we're gonna skim a little bit and get

208
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:21.399
some ideas of how to keep Halloween
extra spooky. So we're gonna check that

209
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.480
out. But first we're gonna do
the spooky news. Right after a quick

210
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:37.080
word from our sponsors. Okay,
we are back with some Do you want

211
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.840
to say it? Or should I
tell you could say it? Is it

212
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:48.039
because of my buttery voice? Yes? Oh, I can't believe it's not

213
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:56.240
buttery voice. The spooky news,
the spooky news news. So since I

214
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:02.480
spoke about going to a spook house, this news story from can you guess

215
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.759
where? Uh Mirror dot co dot
uk. Whoa, we have a winner?

216
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.039
Yes? Yes, this this news
story from Miro dot Mirror dot co

217
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.880
dot uk talks about one of the
most infamous and I'm gonna put in air

218
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:22.400
quotes haunted houses in America. Oh. The article says America's most haunted house

219
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.039
requires a forty page waiver, a
drug test, and health insurance. Why

220
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.960
do you need a drug test?
I'll tell you why? Okay, because

221
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:40.119
it's all lies and this article does
not come at this from a skeptical standpoint.

222
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:48.680
Okay, this article is about the
infamous mccamee manner shrug emoji. Is

223
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.440
that? Yeah, I'm not sure
what that is. Mccabee manner is a

224
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:59.599
fraud. I'm saying that that's actionable. I don't care. It's it's a

225
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:04.559
fraud thing. So it's supposed to
be that haunted house so intense no one

226
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:10.000
ever finishes it, and there's a
ten thousand dollars prize if you can complete

227
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:15.279
the manner and all this crap.
Yes, but it's run by a guy

228
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.359
named Russ mccainey, who, in
my opinion, there's the lawyer in me,

229
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:26.279
in my opinion, is a liar, a cheat, and a sadist.

230
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:32.279
A sadist really well, they do
things like lock you in a box

231
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.599
for six hours and pour cold water
on you. Wow. Yeah. So

232
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.240
I figured I'd read this story and
I'll intersperse it with the fact that this

233
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.720
is the news. This is the
story from what I can tell, that

234
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.799
Russ mccainey wants people to read because
it makes it sound like he runs this

235
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.839
incredible, unbelievable haunted house when in
reality, he just tortures people in his

236
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.359
backyard and I'm not kidding. Wow, there used to be like a space

237
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.119
you could go through, but he
lost it. So now he just tortures

238
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.519
people in his backyard and says,
oh, you didn't make it to the

239
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.720
real house. The real haunted house
has you know, an underwater thingy with

240
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.400
one hundred thousand rats and bees and
da da da da dah, and it's

241
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.200
all show. It's all bull crap. What he'll really do, no joke.

242
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.559
He'll make you do jumping Jackson.
Then when you quit, he says

243
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.720
you failed and you can't go to
the house. He's full of crap,

244
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.480
and there are tons of YouTubers that
have been busting him for it. So

245
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.720
I wanted to look over this a
little bit. My buddy, David Denier,

246
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.000
he's like cheering right now as I'm
saying this because he hates Russ mccameey.

247
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.279
They do things like give you fat
lips, like they do things like

248
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:52.160
yeah, they do all kinds of
stupid stuff. Okay, it's let's see

249
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.640
what the article has to say,
Okay, and then I'll talk about what

250
00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.680
I know to be the reality.
Because someone on YouTube just trusted him again,

251
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.000
Yeah, just did. Right around
the same time, Hulu released a

252
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.839
documentary about him, which mostly talked
about the sadistic element and the fact that

253
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.799
he would like invite people to come
because it's all lies. Like he'll say,

254
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.359
there's a ten thousand person waiting list
to try and get the ten thousand

255
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.559
dollars prize. But then everybody who
applies like gets in almost immediately because there's

256
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:25.480
no waiting list. It's all show. It's all bs okay. So Mirrodako

257
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.240
dot Uk, a spooky house described
as America's most haunted, asks visitors to

258
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.839
sign a forty page waiver and requires
a drug test and health insurance to enter.

259
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.960
It has become a must see spot
for Halloween lovers. That's not really

260
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.319
true. Mcamee Manner calls itself a
haunted house like no other, as those

261
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.759
venturing into the building there is no
building anymore. There isn't venturing into the

262
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.640
building first have to be aged twenty
one or over before they are forced their

263
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.799
first force to undergo a screening process
to take part in any visit at the

264
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:03.559
year round touristed destination. Year Round
also should be mentioned there is no safe

265
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.680
word you. They torment you.
And then they ask you if you want

266
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.400
to quit, and then you either
quit or you don't. Well, it

267
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.319
isn't the safe word that I quit
only when they offer you the out.

268
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.640
So if if they're whatevering you and
you say, wait, I don't actually

269
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.359
want to do this, I change
my mind. They just keep going.

270
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.319
There are videos of people saying I
don't want to do this anymore, stop

271
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.559
it, and they just keep going. Isn't that like assault? Yes,

272
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.480
but there's like, oh well it's
you know, we have a we have

273
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.079
a waiver, but the waiver wouldn't
hold up in court. Yeah, but

274
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.799
nobody's taken them to court yet?
Why not? I don't know? Why

275
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.440
not? Why not call the cops? If if you want to know why

276
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.680
I if you want to know my
personal theory, and this is just my

277
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.480
opinion, please do not sue me. I think that a lot of the

278
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:59.880
people who are harmed the most at
mckamee manor also want attention because they're showed

279
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.799
his types. Okay, so they
don't want to Okay, they would love

280
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:10.519
to shut down mccainey manner, but
they're never going to bring criminal charges.

281
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.400
Why not? I don't because I
think that they would rather talk about it

282
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.559
on podcasts and TV shows and get
more famous than actually do something. I

283
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.440
mean, doesn't that just help him
though, this guy, because then more

284
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.279
people are interested. And I'm sure
you have to pay to get like hurt

285
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.839
right. No, no, it's
actually free you only he really is just

286
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:37.839
a say you have to donate one
bag of dog food, so that's the

287
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:44.799
cost of engines. He is not
a dog. Supposedly it was for shelters,

288
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.480
but now supposedly he just feeds it
to his dogs. He has a

289
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.839
ton of dogs. Okay, so
here we'll dive in some more because I

290
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.599
don't know entirely what this article talks
about, but I've read so many articles

291
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.559
and watch so many documentaries that don't
take a skeptical view of mccainey manor,

292
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:07.440
and it does tick me off.
So let's see. The haunted house in

293
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.160
Summertown, Tennessee is not for the
faint hearted or those who have any problems

294
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:18.559
with their heart. The haunted mansion
there's no building anymore. Just for the

295
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:23.039
record, there used to be like
a like a it was a haunt built

296
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.039
in this guy's home in California.
Uh huh, there is nothing anymore.

297
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:32.400
It's just his backyard. So like
he lived in California and now he doesn't

298
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.599
live in California. Correct. I
think they'll talk about that a little bit

299
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:41.200
because California kind of ran him out. Oh well, I mean California where

300
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.759
you can't you can't be seventeen and
use a tanning booth. Yeah. I

301
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:51.000
imagine once word got out, he
was like traumatizing people in his backyard.

302
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.960
They were like, yo, fam
nah. Yeah. The Haunted Mansion was

303
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.440
originally based in California before owner Russ
mccainey moved the House of Horrors. Wow,

304
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.359
why does anybody pick on journalism in
the in the modern era? House

305
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:12.359
of Horros' what's the sick? Horror's
sick to Summertown, Tennessee in twenty seventeen

306
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:17.079
in a bid to come up with
new ways to gain fans. Summertown is

307
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.839
about an hour south of Nashville,
The Tennessee and Reports. In an interview

308
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.759
with Knox News, Russ explained what
people are signing themselves up for, and

309
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.240
he insists it's no trick or treat
or walk in the park. The whole

310
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.759
experience even has Oh wow, they've
doubled the prize. Even the whole experience

311
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:38.039
even has a pricks for I don't
know what that word means. A pricks

312
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:44.079
a price for those to beat the
manner, which could land the winner twenty

313
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.400
thousand dollars in prize money. This, however, has not been a success

314
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.319
for anyone who has attempted to go
through the attraction. So this is something

315
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.559
I want to point out. So
some like ex military people have went through

316
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.480
this. Yeah, like people with
like that have been through severe shit and

317
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:08.559
it The secret is it never ends. So if you won't give up,

318
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.440
if you won't quit when they say, okay, do you want to quit,

319
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.880
then they just keep torturing you and
they don't stop, and they don't

320
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:25.160
let you sleep. They just keep
going. That's not fair. There is

321
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:32.279
no twenty thousand dollars in money.
And someone hacked Russ's email account and found

322
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.839
that when he was communicating with the
IRS, he openly admitted there was no

323
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:42.160
actual haunted house. Okay, because
they would they wanted they They had heard

324
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.240
rumors that he said he had all
this space to do all these things,

325
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.880
and they were like, well,
then you got to pay taxes. Because

326
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.400
the IRS has no sense of whimsy. All they care about is your suffering.

327
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.240
Honestly, I think the irs is
a more scary house of suffering and

328
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:02.680
torture than mcamie manner. But uh, okay, So the question says,

329
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.680
how do I participate in mccamie manner? Those who want to scare themselves half

330
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:12.680
to death? Scare it's torture,
not boo please, I mean torture is

331
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:18.880
pretty scary. I guess I don't
know. Those who want to scare themselves

332
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.240
have to death have a number of
hoops they must jump through before they are

333
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:23.559
allowed to take part, and must
meet the manner's seven requirements. Number one,

334
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:27.000
you must be twenty one or over
or eighteen to twenty with parental approval

335
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:33.160
or guidance I know. Two,
complete a sports physical and have a doctor's

336
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.720
letter stating you were physically and mentally
cleared. Number three, pass a background

337
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:42.519
check provided by mccamie manner. Four, be screened via Facebook, FaceTime,

338
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:51.799
or telephone. Okay. Number five, have proof of medical insurance. Number

339
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:59.680
six sign a detailed forty page disclaimer
or waiver. Apparently in this waiver it

340
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.279
says things like you are okay being
stung by hundreds of bees, being in

341
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.839
contact with hundreds of rodents, like
all kinds of stuff to just freak you

342
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.759
out and make you afraid that you're
not going to be able to complete it.

343
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:17.160
Mm hmm. Number seven pass a
portable drug test on the day of

344
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.000
I think it meant potable drug test, which is like instantaneous drug test.

345
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.720
Mm hm. Those who are able
to meet these requirements are then forced to

346
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.960
endure a series of nighttime epic stunts
that's in quotes. These could include being

347
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:37.279
blindfolded by duct tape or submerged in
water. They're famous for doing things like

348
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.640
putting you in a like an old
beat up refrigerator and then pouring dirty water

349
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:48.480
on you and stuff that sounds like
a good shower till we should send you

350
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.640
to Makami manner. I believe you
would just get through it. I like,

351
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.000
yeah. The angriest I've ever seen
him on video doing one of these

352
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.200
was someone who just refused to be
upset, like a dude who just sat

353
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.920
there and they were like, now, do the push ups do that?

354
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.880
Because they make you do exercises and
stuff, you know, and they do

355
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:07.559
it, and he'd be like,
Okay, I'm not scared though, and

356
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.279
they'd be like, oh, they
get so mad. He'd be like,

357
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.519
Okay, I'll do it. I
don't care, and they get so angry

358
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:17.519
they and they may they'll tell you
like, you're done for not being upset.

359
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.119
Oh what if you say, but
I am upset, but you don't

360
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:26.599
look upset. That's the point is
it's really I think I think Russ mccainey's

361
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.160
a sadist, and I think that
I think that he's less addicted to the

362
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.680
sadism though, and more addicted to
the infamy he's gained. Sure, sure,

363
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.960
and I think he desperately wants to
maintain that infamy. Sure, you

364
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.839
know, he wants people to still
think like, oh man, Russe mccainey,

365
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:45.759
he has the scariest haunted house in
the world. And it's like,

366
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.359
no, he just torments you.
M m. They make you not sleep

367
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:55.079
the night before and stuff like you
have to They make you Facebook live stream

368
00:28:55.119 --> 00:29:00.880
on their private Facebook group all night
you doing exercises and being away. Do

369
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.440
you have to respond to them?
Because I'm pretty sure you could fake that.

370
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.799
I bet you people have faked it. Rust Mukine is also known for

371
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.319
being pretty pretty friggin' uh guloble.
Yeah, because I'm sure you could just

372
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:17.640
take a video of yourself and then
stream it on Facebook. Why somehow yeah

373
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:22.240
exactly, Oh yeah yeah, and
you can do it with obs yeah.

374
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:23.599
Uh. Those who are able to
okay, epic sense, they also face

375
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.200
the prospect of being buried in mud
or be oh yeah, or being hypnotized.

376
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.799
Yeah, they claim they hypnotize you. They claim that they sometimes they

377
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:36.559
claim they drug you, but they
don't drug you. How can wait?

378
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.359
How do they claim they drug you? Know, they just like in the

379
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.759
moment, they'll like inject you,
but like they're not actually injecting you with

380
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:48.200
anything. They're just playing mind games. Okay, it's yeah, it's mind

381
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.319
games. That's my point is like
it's shows. It's it's these placebo effect.

382
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.640
They try to exhaust you and then
tell you you're being hypnotized. It's

383
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.240
like lie detectors, lie detectors.
If detec work, then why does the

384
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:06.279
light detector person spend all their time
telling you it works instead of just reading

385
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.200
the results. Why do they say, like, if you would like to

386
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.000
admit anything right now, you may
want to say it before I read the

387
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.839
results. It's all bull crap.
They're just trying to nudge you and get

388
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.640
you to crack or get you to
do what they want you to do.

389
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:26.119
It's it's it comes down to the
same crap that like our readers and psychic

390
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.880
mediums who are ripping people off,
they all do the same thing. They

391
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.839
need you to believe in what they're
saying is true, and that's how they

392
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.559
get you to kind of they get
it to work. You have to be

393
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.960
a willing participant. Yeah, mccamee
says the manner is safe, but warns

394
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.240
it can be dangerous. Videos on
video sharing site YouTube show people being covered

395
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:53.359
in mud facing terrifying heights. Yeah, he claims that there's like that like

396
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.799
at one point you up like forty
feet in the air. But like how

397
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.720
like you can look at like photos
of his of his proper from the aerial

398
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.799
view, there's nothing that high sure
that he didn't like make a scaffolding and

399
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.440
then you climb up the scaffold.
I mean, honestly, if you look

400
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:10.400
at Russ mccainey, I would be
amazed if he could make mashed potatoes for

401
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.000
dinner, let alone a scaffold.
That's not very nice. It is not

402
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:21.119
nice to be Russ mccainey. No, ugh, or dealing with water and

403
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:26.480
other critters. This is before the
psychological aspect of taking part. The organizer's

404
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:32.160
taste for extreme horror has even interested
streaming service Hulu. It showed a documentary

405
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.200
of the manner and the person behind
America's Most Haunted House in its documentary Monster

406
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.319
Inside America's Most Extreme Haunted House.
The program follows mccainey and his version of

407
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:45.880
extreme horror, but also examined alleged
manipulation, manipulative abuse. And here's a

408
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.559
picture of a man with tarantulas on
his face. Okay, so deiranchlas are

409
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:56.079
not scary. I agree they're being
in their furry. I'm actually afraid of

410
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.240
like lots of bugs, but I
even think tarantulas are kind of cute.

411
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.319
They're super cute, and apparently they're
really fragile, so you've got to be

412
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:07.400
careful with them for real. People
ask a number of questions on the mansion

413
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.480
sites, such as can we be
thrown out of the Haunt for any reason?

414
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:14.960
The organizers answered yes, we do
not allow foul language, pushing,

415
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.720
vulgar behavior, weapons of any kind, smoking, drugs, alcohol, etc.

416
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.200
Actors are allowed to touch visitors,
but visitors are not allowed to touch

417
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:29.920
actors. The Spooky Companies said on
their website. Frequently asked questions. They

418
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.480
said that on there other questions include, can we be injured at your haunt?

419
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.920
Organizers applied. You must be in
excellent healthits in all caps to participate

420
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.880
in the extreme tour. You will
incur very physically and mentally demanding environments.

421
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.559
Make sure to follow the rules.
You must read the warning page and sign

422
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.720
the waiver form before you enter the
haunt. Do not attend if you have

423
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.480
medical conditions that might cause you an
injury. Do not enter our haunt if

424
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:59.480
you are prone to seizures or have
any kind of respiratory conditions, especially excuse

425
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.640
me, especially on the asthma or
heart conditions. Do not enter if you

426
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:07.200
have broken bones, casts, or
are pregnant. Holy crap, that is

427
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:13.039
where their article ends. Yeah,
that didn't explain anything. Really, I'll

428
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.119
tell you what. I'm gonna go
into a little bit more about Russ mccainey,

429
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:30.079
what I've read about. After this
very quick break, we're back right

430
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:35.200
here on Monthly Spooky, and I
wanted to defame Russ mccaney a little bit

431
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.480
more, I guess now before we
move on to our next piece of spooky

432
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:44.359
news. That article talks about Russ
mccaney's McCamey manner and how it's the most

433
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:49.640
terrifying haunt. There is no haunted
house that is number one. There used

434
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.440
to be what you would call a
haunted house, and it got shut down

435
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.640
for lots of things, and not
just for being too scary, for things

436
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.759
like making people sit in the same
dirty wall again and again and again,

437
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:07.519
not cleaning things so that people were
like literally laying in other people's filth.

438
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:13.239
One of the grossest ones. They'll
they'll shave your head sometimes. And no

439
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.960
joke. They showed one woman laying
there and you could see the other people's

440
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.639
hair all over the contraption she was
laying on. They don't clean it,

441
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:24.559
they don't do any of that stuff. On top of that, Russ mccainey

442
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:30.039
has been accused of dating women that
he met through abusing them on the mccamee

443
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:36.079
Manor tour. Sure totally makes sense. Apparently the easiest way to mess with

444
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.119
him is to have a Facebook account
of like an attractive young woman and he'll

445
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:45.559
talk to you NonStop. Yeah,
I've wondered if anybody's considered just hiring a

446
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:52.039
bunch of like Nigerian scammers to just
like flood him. Yeah. But on

447
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:55.760
top of that, people in the
last few years who have decided they wanted

448
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.480
to take on the McCamey Manor Challenge
and potentially win twenty thousand dollars show up

449
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:07.159
and then are made to do exercises
like wearing drunk goggles and doing jumping jacks

450
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:12.159
and like lifting heavy things, and
then when they get too tired to continue,

451
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:14.440
they're told, Okay, you failed. You can't go into the manner.

452
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.440
There is no manner. Yeah.
Yeah, that's all there is to

453
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.199
it. And if you get far
enough in like when there was a somewhat

454
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:28.039
of a manner, he just makes
you like sit in a box full of

455
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.440
cold dirty water for hours on hours
on hours on hours. You'll never win.

456
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:36.239
They'll make it. I heard one
person went for like twenty eight hours.

457
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.519
Wow, there's just no end.
That's it. They'll just keep going

458
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:49.000
forever. I mean, I think
someone just needs to like just keep going.

459
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:52.480
Well, So there's this guy on
YouTube named Reckless Ben who's kind of

460
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:58.239
like a stev O type. He
does like wild stunts and stuff. And

461
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.280
he tried. They just wouldn't they. They would tell him, oh,

462
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:07.400
you've quit. You had to quit
because he was ready. He's like in

463
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.760
per perfect physical condition. He's completely
fearless. Another buddy of his who like

464
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.000
does like crazy stunts like pouring hot
sauce in his eyes and stuff, tried

465
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.199
to do it too. They just
told him like, you're done. Wow,

466
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:23.440
Like you've quit. That's not fair. It's a scam. Yeah,

467
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.280
I think you need to if you
have this big like waiver I mean and

468
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.840
like sounds like contract more or less
that you need to sign. I think

469
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.000
that like there should be negotiations and
you should go in and be like nope,

470
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:37.199
there has to be a time limit. And you can't tell me I

471
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:43.320
quit only and I can tell me
you no, it's it's ridiculous. And

472
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.480
and the contract you signed, one
of the things that says is that you

473
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:51.079
have to pay Russ ten thousand dollars
if you break the NDA. Oh I'm

474
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:53.519
taking that claws out immediately. That's
happening. Well, that's one of the

475
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:57.559
jokes is they rewrote the contracts and
Russ didn't even read them. He just

476
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.360
signed them too, And they said
things like, you know, we have

477
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:01.880
to give you a dollar if we
break the NDA. You have to have

478
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:07.039
pizza dinner with us and stuff.
Yeah, it's ridiculous, But my point

479
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:14.599
is just that it's all hype with
some actual harm in there. I do

480
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:16.400
believe, you know, as an
adult, you can consent to certain things,

481
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:20.920
but the law does not believe you
can consent to being full on tortured.

482
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:28.920
That's straight up American law. Yeah. Yeah, So let's go to

483
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:32.920
something a little bit lighter hearted.
You know. I started with the heavy

484
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:38.000
stuff with the Russ mccamee Manor thing
because I wanted I had a transition because

485
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:40.079
I could talk about just going to
a haunt, and then I had a

486
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:46.280
story about a haunt. Also,
one of the things that makes me talk

487
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:52.239
about mcamei Mannor so much is the
idea of the Chimera House. Great.

488
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:59.559
Yeah, that's an old urban legend
that has been passed around all over the

489
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:05.239
US of the idea of a haunt
that no one ever completes. Usually it's

490
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.719
like an abandoned hospital or an abandoned
hotel with thirteen floors, and the idea

491
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:10.559
is no one's ever made it to
the thirteenth floor, and if you make

492
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:14.760
it, they give you five thousand
dollars or even just like let you,

493
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.639
you know, give your ticket money
back or whatever. But like, the

494
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:21.199
Kaimera House is something always fascinating me
because when I was a kid, we

495
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:22.039
would all talk about it. We'd
be like, dude, did you hear

496
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.960
I heard it's in like Marion,
Ohio, Like you know, it's just

497
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:30.400
far enough away that us kids can't
go because we don't have cars. So

498
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.159
I've always had a soft spot for
the idea of the Kimera House, the

499
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.679
haunt that no one can ever complete, because it's that scary, not that

500
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.239
torturous, but that's scary that you
just get so scared. And some of

501
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.519
them they were like there were like
some versions of the story where it was

502
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:50.599
like you had to fill out a
questionnaire and like give your full name and

503
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.159
address and everything because they would like
research you to make it scarier and stuff.

504
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:58.760
Do yeah, kind of like no
end house, Yes, that would

505
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.480
I would have to leave, would
have been enough. I don't I don't

506
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.039
want to see any of my dead
relatives, please see And meanwhile, us

507
00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:09.280
Hispanics were like every November, first
let's go, let's see them, Let's

508
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:14.199
see our dead relatives. Okay,
so this next one's a little bit lighter

509
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.840
hearted, okay, okay, so
thousands of children die and oh no,

510
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:23.320
I'm just kidding Utah. This one
comes from HuffPost dot com. Utah officials

511
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:30.679
tell resident to strip naughty Halloween display
from city property. Oh so, some

512
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:38.079
folks in Utah made a display that's
like a strip club, but with skeletons.

513
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:42.159
So there's like a pole and like
a skeleton hanging off it, and

514
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:46.519
skeletons all sitting around with like dollar
bills in their skeleton hands. Very funny,

515
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:51.440
that's cute. Official, Well,
apparently not to the officials in a

516
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:55.400
Utah community who were not a fan
of skeleton pole dancing on city property.

517
00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:59.960
Now, I did not know it
was on city property, that's all.

518
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:04.960
I wonder where that was, so
let's find out. It says the City

519
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.599
of Grantsville, in a since deleted
Facebook post, demanded that a Halloween display

520
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:14.519
be stripped from a street sign.
From a street sign, the display featured

521
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:19.920
a skeleton working city property like a
pole, while other skeletons tossed money and

522
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:25.000
watched from nearby folding chairs. Quote. Displays like this are not acceptable,

523
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:30.440
as it is against city code to
attach anything to a street sign. Oh

524
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.719
okay, so the street sign.
Was the pole? Oh my god,

525
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.559
get over it really like, was
it obscuring the sign? No? If

526
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:43.400
anything, it was making people look
at the sign. Yeah, maybe not

527
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.079
in the right place, but no, not even vaguely. No. And

528
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:52.880
I'm sure it caused many horrible namings. Yeah. Read the post, which

529
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:57.239
noted that city officials would remove the
display if the person responsible did not take

530
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.760
it down by nine pm on that
Wednesday. The person behind the display moved

531
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:06.039
it before the city's deadline and reportedly
used it as an opportunity to step up

532
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.559
their decoration game too. Yes.
The display, now moved into a front

533
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:14.880
yard, features a new poll from
for the pole dancing skeleton, along with

534
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.880
even more skeletons, lights in the
shape of a stage, and a tip

535
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:25.039
jar. I love this person.
This person is after my black heart,

536
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.719
without a doubt. The Halloween display
has split the community. Quote and the

537
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:35.440
Outlet reported, with some deeming it
inappropriate, while others have brought their own

538
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:42.159
decorations and left money in the tip
jar I love that. Ah so,

539
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:47.400
and that's pretty much it. Let's
see quote. We're going to tip them

540
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:50.920
when we leave. We know what
it's like to work for tips. Carrie

541
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:54.320
sly A server at Grantsville's The Outpost
said. During a segment on the controversy

542
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:58.920
posted to YouTube by Fox thirty two, a man who told the station he

543
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:02.079
put up the pole dancing display said
he looked forward to keeping it quote going

544
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:06.960
and getting a little bit more elaborate
as we go. Maybe a little risque

545
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:10.320
for some people, but it's all
in the name of fun. Yeah,

546
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:14.559
this is great. I love it. The skeleton's all upside down on the

547
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:19.599
pole. It's it's not it's not
even like that, Like, they're all

548
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.559
just skeletons too. It's like,
yeah, maybe it's silly, but to

549
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:24.840
me, if you wanted to make
it more riskue, like the scale,

550
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.000
as odd as it sounds, the
skeleton should be like wearing lingerie or something,

551
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:31.719
you know. But no, that's
weird that a clothed skeleton is more

552
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:36.360
obscene than a naked one. Yeah, really weird. Yeah, but uh

553
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:40.800
but no, they're just skeletons.
They're just skeletons. We all got one,

554
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.559
yeah, and not all of them
are allowed to go on poles like

555
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.760
that though. Yeah, well fair
enough. I'm guessing it must have been,

556
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.199
like I wonder what it must have
been a street sign like the street

557
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.360
of the whatever. Yeah, I
guess, yeah, that makes sense.

558
00:42:55.639 --> 00:43:00.960
Yeah, so so I want to
mention real quick. I, like I

559
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.559
said, Halloween has been fun,
but I haven't had a chance to do

560
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.800
as much halloweeny stuff as I wanted. I did visit what is becoming an

561
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.800
institution in the town of West Carrollton, Ohio, which is the town next

562
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.239
to the town I live in,
which is the West Carrollton Stranger Things House.

563
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.920
I sent you pictures of it.
Yeah you did. Yeah, it's

564
00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:22.599
really cool. This artist, whose
name is escaping me right now, and

565
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:28.679
I feel bad. I think her
name was Amber or something, she built

566
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:34.920
an entire shrine to Stranger Things in
her house. It's got and she built

567
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.920
it. She painted it so like
the characters are all painted on wood.

568
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:43.440
Cool. It's amazing and if you
love Stranger Things, it is. It's

569
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.519
the best because there's tons of Easter
eggs all over it. It's got the

570
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.559
kids all freaking out with the little
girl floating in the air. It's got

571
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:52.280
Eddie Munson playing guitar on the roof
and he's got he's all lit up and

572
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:58.039
there are bats around him. It
is so cool, and it's brilliantly designed.

573
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:00.360
None of the lights point at any
of the neighbors houses in any way,

574
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:05.280
like they're all perfectly arranged. And
there's a big sign in the front

575
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.599
yard that says, hey, we're
okay with you walking around our yard to

576
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:12.639
see everything up close and look at
everything we've got cool. It was so

577
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.039
neat. I took Dave and Keith
after the haunt to go see it last

578
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.320
night, and they were both blown
away because we're all big Stranger Things fans.

579
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:22.480
Cool. So I just want to
mention that if you want to see

580
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.920
photos of it, just go to
just on whether it's Twitter, Instagram,

581
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:32.880
or Facebook. Go type in hashtag
wc ST house. You know, Wes

582
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.719
Carrollton Stranger Things House, so w
c ST house and you'll find all of

583
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:43.440
the photos people have been taking.
It's super super cool and apparently this was

584
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.920
the second or third years. Second
year she'd done it. Wow, I

585
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.159
didn't hear about it. I found
out about it Rachel saw it on the

586
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:54.760
news. Oh so pretty cool.
Yeah, I love that. I love

587
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.719
that stuff, And I mean,
like it's nuts, like there's a vekna

588
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:04.639
in their living window and the tentaclely
like upside down, like gross black gew

589
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.039
Is like crawling up all sides of
the house and they put up like fake

590
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:13.840
boarded windows and stuff. It was
just so neat. Made me so happy.

591
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:17.880
Good so. But speaking of happy, this next one is not happy.

592
00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:23.159
Uh. This is from newsweek dot
com and it's talking about a new

593
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:29.880
Netflix mini series. It says Devil
on Trial shock reveal can sleeping pills really

594
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:37.159
mimic demonic possession? So there's a
there's a Netflix either movie or series called

595
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:42.119
The Devil on Trial And that's what
they're talking about because apparently it released some

596
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:46.079
interesting information basically about the famous case
known as the Devil Made Me Do It,

597
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.920
where a young man killed some people
and then said the devil made me

598
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.800
do it, Yeah, which happened
in the eighties. So in Netflix is

599
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:57.760
the Devil on Trial? Released Tuesday, Viewers were introduced to the story of

600
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.920
David Glatzel. In nineteen eighty at
the age of a Levin, Glatzel was

601
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.159
allegedly possessed by a demon, which
was exercised with the help of famed paranormal

602
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:13.039
investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. They
were frauds, They were such frauds.

603
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:17.280
Although Glatzell's story has been adapted several
times for the screen, including the twenty

604
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:21.800
twenty one movie The Conjuring Three.
The Devil Made Me Do It. The

605
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:25.280
documentary is the first to speak to
all three of the Glatzwell brothers, David,

606
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:30.800
Allen and Carl and get their side
of the story. Okay, And

607
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.079
I want to mention I'm not just
being my prickly self by saying Ed and

608
00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:42.239
Lorraine Warren are frauds. Lots of
people in the paranormal community who believe think

609
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:45.280
Eden Lorraine Warren are no good.
Yeah. So it's not just me thinking

610
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:50.320
that they're frauds because I don't believe
in ghosts. Lots of people think they're

611
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:54.960
frauds. They were notorious for like
having books written about their investigations, and

612
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:58.639
the authors would call them for details
and they would say, just make up

613
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:00.920
whatever's cool, Like we just want
to make a lot of money. Oh

614
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:06.760
my god. Yeah. Even now, David Glatzill is convinced that he was

615
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.559
possessed by a demon as a child. However, his older brother Carl has

616
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:14.639
never believed it. In The Devil
On Trial, the now fifty seven year

617
00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:17.440
old reveals that while cleaning out his
mother, Judy Glatzell's belongings. After her

618
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:22.800
death, he found evidence that she
had been drugging her family with the sleeping

619
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:29.360
aids sominex. Oh. Carl believes
that his mother used the drug to control

620
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:36.719
the three sons and their father sneaking
the drug into their food. That's insanity.

621
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.559
He also believes that the side effects
of sominex are the real cause of

622
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:46.320
his brother's supposed possession, citing mood
swings, weight gain, and hallucinations as

623
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:52.480
side effects of the drug. I
was almost expected to say mood swings,

624
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.639
weight gain, and satan and we
can't say it at the end of the

625
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:59.159
day. Quote, at the end
of the day, if everybody's tired and

626
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:02.519
exhausted, guess what, everybody's gonna
rest and sit down. There's no problems.

627
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.840
Carl said, Yeah, that's true. I mean if people are like

628
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:08.280
I just want to sit down and
go to bed, I guess it would

629
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:15.599
be easier to manage the family.
Yeah, this is very sad. Yeah,

630
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.119
at the end of the day,
if everybody's toup. Sorry I read

631
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:22.639
that, but so X really can
so MANX really mimic demonic possession. Newsweek

632
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:30.599
asked an expert the active ingredient in
somn x is diphenyl diphenyl hydromine hydrochloride.

633
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:36.880
I did okay with that. Yeah, a sedating antihistamine that can help people

634
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.639
fall asleep. Yeah. If it's
an antihistamine, it's gonna do weird stuff

635
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:45.800
to you. It is used to
treat short term sleep issues such as insomnia,

636
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:52.159
along with relieving allergy symptoms. Doctor
Rami and Kayat, the medical director

637
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:58.920
of UCI Health Sleep Medicine Services and
a specialist in pulmonology, Oh gosh and

638
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:05.320
Sleep Medicine, says that the drug
can cause hallucinations, although the dose has

639
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:09.159
to be very high. Quote,
toxicity can occur when a dose that is

640
00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:15.400
more than ten times the dose and
over the counterpills is used, Kayak told

641
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:21.000
Newsweek. In these cases, cardiac
arrhythmia, delirium, and hallucinations have been

642
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:25.599
reported. That makes me wonder because
if you look like if we're talking about

643
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.559
eleven year old boy, I mean, they can be very hyperactive. So

644
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:36.719
maybe the mother was just like kept
adding to it, gotta put some more

645
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:40.480
in. And also since he's eleven, he's relatively smaller, so he could

646
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:45.119
probably need less of that anyway.
So if She's given him a full dose

647
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:51.440
that's already probably more than he needs. She should have went with Flintstone's chewable

648
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:54.119
summinex. I know, the regular
cut and those. You could just give

649
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:57.639
them because they're like, look,
it's cute, and then I'll just eat

650
00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:00.159
it. Did you like Flintstone's chewable
viam as? Did you eat those when

651
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:02.440
you were a kid? I did. They're not good. I thought they

652
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:07.039
tasted delicious. Really, I did
not really like vitamin flavor vitamins. Oh,

653
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:13.920
I would look forward to them.
Sominex and other medications containing diphenol hydromine

654
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.440
hydrochloride. Wow. I actually said
that, like no problem, are only

655
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:21.079
meant for short term use. If
taken regularly, users can build up a

656
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.719
tolerance to the drug, making it
less effective. Short term side effects include

657
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:28.880
dry mouth, confusion, memory loss, balance problems, blurred vision, and

658
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:35.000
urinary retention. Oh it didn't say
murder, but let's continue quote. There

659
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:37.760
are no studies evaluating the safety of
long term use of these sleep aids,

660
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:42.840
and the potential for serious side effects
from long term use cannot be ruled out,

661
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.679
said Kyat. Additionally, individuals with
coexisting problems such as eye disorders,

662
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:51.760
prostate disorders, and heart conditions may
be more prone to the side effects of

663
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:58.199
these antihistamines with long term use.
Yeah, that is pretty terrifying, and

664
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.360
there's even more to get to,
but we need to take a real quick

665
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:13.920
commercial break and we'll be back.
We're back, and we're talking about the

666
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:17.320
idea that Judy Glatzel may have been
poisoning her family, Yeah, drugging them

667
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:22.639
with sleeping pills. Yeah, and
that does sound like quite a red herring

668
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:30.199
for the suspicious murder that her eleven
year old son committed, especially when you

669
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.400
consider that he never was he was
not a delinquent, he never did anything

670
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.000
else again, and after the murder, after being taken away from his family,

671
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:43.199
he felt like he was possessed,
like he felt like somebody else made

672
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:46.400
him do it, right, right, Yeah, that's freaky. Yeah,

673
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:51.239
I mean it's just sad. Honestly, it's super sad. I'm going to

674
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:55.880
probably watch the documentary. I mean, it's significantly more believable than demon but

675
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:02.079
also still kind of unbelievable. Sure, No, it's totally shocking. Yeah,

676
00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:06.639
I know that they described him as
being in like a translate like state

677
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:10.960
when he committed the crimes, which
lends to drugs. It does. And

678
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:15.599
I'm sure they tested him for party
drugs yeah yeah, but they probably didn't

679
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:22.920
test him for like a sleeping yeah
yeah. So but this first quote here

680
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:29.159
is very telling. Her bowl was
always separate from ours. Well. In

681
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.119
the devil On Trial, Carl said
that he and his wife were sorting through

682
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:35.800
his parents belongings after his mother's death
in twenty eleven when he made a shocking

683
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:39.320
discovery. My quote, my mother
wrote down everything she had OCD, he

684
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:43.800
says in the documentary. Quote,
It'd be on a piece of paper,

685
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.880
a calendar, whatever, she'd write
notes down On this one note it said,

686
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:51.719
quote, well, the family had
their medicine tonight. Everything was good.

687
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:58.079
They looked into the medicine in more
detail and said they discovered that his

688
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.079
mother was putting salman X in their
meals. Quote She's been giving it to

689
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:05.360
the whole family for quite a long
time, Carl said, I remember my

690
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:09.320
mother serving us dinner, and her
bowl was always separate from ours. Wow,

691
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:14.079
that's really questionable. I bet she
claims she had an allergy or something

692
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:19.239
or this. This is like the
bad food that I'm given myself. Yeah,

693
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.960
this food doesn't have drugs in it, you wouldn't like it exactly.

694
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:29.400
Oh and then a quote she didn't
go to church until all this stuff with

695
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:35.119
David. That's interesting. His father, Carl Glatzill, Sr. Also never

696
00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:38.800
believed that his son was possessed.
Although staunch Although a staunch Catholic, Judy

697
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:46.360
Glatzill appeared convinced, eventually contacting the
Warrens about her child's ow behavior. Yeah

698
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:52.360
you know, Oh, I'm convinced, because yeah, you think that you

699
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:58.320
think she knew or suspected. Honestly, you could go either way. She

700
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:04.920
could just have no idea or she
could have suspected. Yeah. Yeah.

701
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.000
In the devil On Trial, Karl
accused his mother and the Warrens of putting

702
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.760
the possession idea into his brother's head
through the power of suggestion. I'm sure

703
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:15.960
they did. I believe that one
thousand percent. Instead, Carl believes that

704
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:21.079
his brother was suffering from a mental
health issue. Quote. My mother had

705
00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:23.320
her agenda, he said, in
front of people, she'd try to portray

706
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:28.360
herself as a holy roller. But
that was not even close to the reality.

707
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:30.920
She didn't go to church until all
this stuff with David occurred. H

708
00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:37.719
that's really interesting. Yeah, tho
Devil's advocate, Devil's advocate, damn it.

709
00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:43.440
If you did think your son was
possessed by a demon, you would

710
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:46.159
start going to church. Yeah,
absolutely. I mean I don't know how

711
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:52.599
how true any of the stories of
like hauntings I've heard are in the world,

712
00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:54.480
But a lot of times it's like, well, this thing is haunting

713
00:54:54.519 --> 00:55:00.480
me, So I'm gonna start believing
in God now because this is scary.

714
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:05.880
I mean I probably would. Yeah, if what you what you would you

715
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.400
would still like if you were if
you were positive without a shadow of a

716
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:15.800
doubt that you experienced like seeing a
demon or something, you wouldn't start believing.

717
00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:19.920
No, because I don't know what
like, Okay, if I was

718
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:24.639
positive without a shadow of doubt somehow
that the demon was related to Christianity,

719
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:30.480
sure, it can be Judaism too, or or it was a Jewish demon

720
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:37.679
or whatever. This was it trying
to sell you something? Sorry I could

721
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:42.159
not Why Why did you have to
call it a Jewish demon? I don't

722
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:57.920
know, because you implied because but
I'm glad, You're glad I'm dying.

723
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:01.519
Yeah, I see what you're saying. No, and I'm more so mean,

724
00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:06.159
if you saw something without a shadow
of a doubt that you absolutely could

725
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.519
not explain as anything other than paranormal. I'm not saying you would then just

726
00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:15.400
immediately like be running to synagogue.
I mean, but wouldn't you be all

727
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:20.679
of a sudden like I might go
to the synagogue and just listen and see

728
00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:22.440
if this makes sense. No,
I might, you know, go to

729
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:27.360
church and listen. No, because
just because something is real doesn't mean other

730
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:30.679
things are real, you know,
true, I get that, And I'm

731
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:34.199
not saying that I would like run
off and be, you know, a

732
00:56:34.239 --> 00:56:37.119
freaking Pentecostal. I'm just saying that
I might, I might all of a

733
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:40.840
sudden like be like, Okay,
so I'm gonna have to start thinking about

734
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:45.719
some stuff I hadn't been thinking about
anymore. Okay. I mean I understand,

735
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.719
I definitely understand your point of view. I just like it would be

736
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:52.960
very hard for me to It would
be very hard for something to convince me

737
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:58.840
that religion was an element. Even
if I saw something or experience something paranormal,

738
00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:05.800
I still wouldn't be convinced that anything
that religion happens is. It wouldn't

739
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:09.119
make you more curious. Oh No, you would just be like eh,

740
00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:12.960
I'm the smartest person. I know
this isn't what that is. No,

741
00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:15.960
no, but like I just don't
believe, Like, oh so I should

742
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:20.280
go into my religion because my religion
is the good religion. Like, come

743
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:23.400
on, even if there are demons, that still doesn't mean that there's a

744
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:28.039
god. This doesn't mean anything.
It just means that there's something else we

745
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:30.000
don't understand. I mean, that's
a fair I mean, I agree,

746
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.440
that's a fair point. I think
I would. I think I would be

747
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:38.760
slightly more open to hearing, to
hearing solutions if I seriously saw something I

748
00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:42.440
knew had to be a demon.
Okay, So I mean, yeah,

749
00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:46.000
I'm I get that doesn't mean I
mean, but it might take me my

750
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:50.320
whole life of listening to like hope
to find out. But I would be

751
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:52.199
like, Okay, hold on,
okay, who's got a demon story?

752
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.639
I want to hear it was this, like the demon I saw, I'd

753
00:57:54.639 --> 00:58:00.960
like to know. Let's just talk
about this real quick. I need to

754
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:07.519
know about this voodoo that you do
so well, So let's see. He

755
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:12.079
recounts, at the age of fifteen, watching Ed and Lorraine Warren sitting at

756
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.239
the kitchen table, telling his younger
brother and mom how a possessed person would

757
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:20.480
act. Quote. They were like
saying, well, he can start cursing

758
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:23.119
at you, spitting at you,
Carl recalls, he'll grunt and growl like

759
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:29.440
a savage. And my concern was
why talk about the subject when we're all

760
00:58:29.519 --> 00:58:32.360
sitting right there. They wanted to
make sure you know we heard it,

761
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.719
and we did. Like you're leading
him on to what to do? He

762
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:42.039
said. When Judy attempted to restrain
or calm down a quote possessed David,

763
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:45.400
he allegedly would not relent. However, when his father tried, he'd obey

764
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:51.800
him immediately. Hmm, you hear
slap, Get over here there and sit

765
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.119
down, Carl said, And sure
enough, the devil sat down and was

766
00:58:54.239 --> 00:58:59.039
very quiet. That's funny. I'm
sorry, Okay, that is the funniest

767
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:04.519
child abuse thing i've all day.
No, that's terrible. No, that's

768
00:59:04.559 --> 00:59:09.280
a really interesting point though, because
it's like he knew Mom was playing around.

769
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:13.719
Yeah, but I love the way
he put it to And sure enough

770
00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:16.239
the devil sat down and was quiet
when Dad said sit down right now?

771
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:21.440
That yeah, that I believe that. So, and that's actually a perfect

772
00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.800
way. That's where that story ended. That's a very strong ending. Yeah,

773
00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:30.079
so no I I and I get
what you're saying. Cell, you're

774
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:38.400
smarter than all the world's religious scholars. So speaking of spooky stuff, spooky

775
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:45.079
haunts, going places, trigger treating, Well, how do you feel about

776
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:51.360
like carnivals and rides and and and
stuff like that? Not good? Why

777
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:54.840
not? Because I don't find it
interesting and you don't find it interesting to

778
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:59.639
be like rocking around really fast or
like going up and down a roller coaster.

779
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:02.760
Oh, and scary, but not
in a way that people like.

780
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:06.960
I like, I feel like it's
not interesting, but it's also terrifying.

781
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:14.159
Terrifying is interesting. I don't know. See, I don't like riding roller

782
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:15.960
coasters because they just scare me that
I'm not it's not fun, Yeah,

783
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:23.000
it's I don't like that feeling of
dropping really fast. It's really yeah weird.

784
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:28.519
Right, Well, then we have
good news for you. This NPR

785
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:37.360
story doesn't involve any dropping. Ride
passengers rescued after dangling upside down seventy feet

786
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:40.480
up in the air for half an
hour. Wow. See, you're in

787
01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:45.880
luck. There's no drop. Yeah, that would be less scary than the

788
01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:52.280
drop. But you're you're dangling upside
down. Yeah, it's one of those

789
01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:55.239
pendulums. Literally, it's a pendulum. Oh, you're hanging down, but

790
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:59.159
when it's up gets up high when
upside down, so you would be upside

791
01:00:59.199 --> 01:01:06.639
down. Okay, so yeah,
and then it just stopped. Yeah,

792
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:12.199
the look on your face, it's
like the most uncomfortable laugh a Canadian.

793
01:01:12.199 --> 01:01:15.880
Oh and it's in Canada. Wow, Well I expected better from you.

794
01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:22.480
A Canadian amusement park ride turned into
a night into nightmare fuel on Sunday after

795
01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:29.320
stopping suddenly, suspending passengers upside down
seventy five feet above the ground for nearly

796
01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:35.559
thirty minutes. I bet it's scary
at first, and it just gets really

797
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:38.480
boring. I don't know, with
all the blood rushing to your head.

798
01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:42.760
I mean, what's the longest you've
ever been upside down? I have no

799
01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:47.280
idea. I like, I haven't
timed it. So wow, Okay.

800
01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:52.079
I was a weird kid. Apparently
I would hang upside down on the couch

801
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:57.599
and count wow to see how long
I could go. Wow. I made

802
01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:02.280
it like seven minutes, Okay,
I did to feel really weird. Yeah

803
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:07.760
that's okay, So you could make
it seventy five minutes then well, it's

804
01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:13.119
thirty minutes so long, seventy five
feet above the ground. Yeah. Then

805
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:22.559
podcaster and anime enthusiast Michelle says,
that's nothing. Everybody's crying about nothing.

806
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:30.079
You're fine, that's the Yeah,
why you are? You're fine? Yeah.

807
01:02:30.119 --> 01:02:37.400
The Lumberjack ride, located at Canada's
Wonderland theme Park and vat Von Vaughan,

808
01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:42.960
Ontario, contains two hydraulic arms shaped
like axes that swing back and forth,

809
01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:47.079
occasionally propelling themselves into full three hundred
and sixty degrees swings. That sounds

810
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:52.360
terrifying. Did you ever get on
the pirate ship, the rocking pirate ship

811
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.119
when you were a kid. I'm
not sure. I don't think so.

812
01:02:55.719 --> 01:03:00.159
Oh. I live near King's Island, which is one of the biggest amusement

813
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:05.440
parks, like one of the major
amusement parks in America. I mean there

814
01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:07.599
were a lot of them, but
yeah, I live, I live some

815
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:09.519
I love lived less than a half
an hour or forty minutes from there.

816
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:15.039
So we school trips were always to
King's Island because everybody'd be like, oh

817
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:16.639
man, we got to go Kings
Island. And I hated roller coasters.

818
01:03:16.880 --> 01:03:20.960
I wrote a couple of them.
And we used to have an amusement park

819
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:24.079
really close by called Americana, and
it was a small amusement park. It

820
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:28.719
had two roller coasters, wow,
and then it had like tilted whirls and

821
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:31.599
stuff like that. I used to
always have fun there. But the roller

822
01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:35.320
coaster was called the Screech and Eagle. It was a big wood coaster and

823
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:39.400
I wrote it once because wood coasters
don't like mess you up as much as

824
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:45.840
the metal coasters do. Okay,
of course they literally like vibrate you a

825
01:03:45.880 --> 01:03:49.400
lot, but no, the Pirate
Ship was always the one that freaked me

826
01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:52.199
out the most because it just swings. Yeah, yeah, I don't like

827
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:59.360
that one. Both of those actses
stopped moving at ten forty pm local time,

828
01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:04.320
according to statement from the park shared
with NPR. What bad luck.

829
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:10.119
Yeah, Like, I mean,
I guess the hydraulics failed and then and

830
01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:15.000
then gravity also just gave up.
Yeah. I don't know how those things

831
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:19.480
work, but I know that with
roller coasters, says Reddit that if there's

832
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:25.159
a problem, they're designed to just
stop. Unless that was a that was

833
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:28.679
an elevator. I think it was
a roller coaster, Okay. Elevators are

834
01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:30.480
also designed yeah, they are.
Yeah, but I think it was different

835
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:34.960
because I already knew that. So
yeah, I think that this thing in

836
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:39.760
reality was always being pushed by the
hydraulics for safety's sake, so that it

837
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:45.000
could be a consistent speed and all
that, no matter how robust the clientele.

838
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:49.880
A Wonderland spokesperson did not disclose the
cause of the ride's abrupt stop,

839
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:53.960
but did say that the maintenance team
was able to respond quickly. Well,

840
01:04:54.000 --> 01:05:00.559
not quickly, thirty minutes. That's
so quick, I'm suing. All passengers

841
01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:04.000
were back on the ground by eleven
oh five pm. The park said two

842
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:10.280
people were treated for chest pain before
being released. Yeah, not so funny

843
01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:15.320
now, oh man, And the
news thing is showing a TikTok of people

844
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:20.639
just like twitching their feet, just
stuck up there. Theme park crowds watched

845
01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:26.119
as the rescue unfolded, capturing the
dangling passengers crying for help, and videos

846
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:30.920
shared on social media. You should
have been there, going like with a

847
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:34.800
bag of pean. That's just going. You're fine. It's only been twenty

848
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:43.360
five minutes, You're fine. In
some clips, the park staff can be

849
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:46.719
heard through a megaphone asking is everyone
doing Okay, up there, the crowd

850
01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:55.559
of writers shout back no in near
Unison. You know, that probably is

851
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:59.719
what got them through. It was
just yelling in Unison like that would actually

852
01:05:59.719 --> 01:06:03.320
I would actually I would have been
terrified to be that high up and upside

853
01:06:03.320 --> 01:06:09.679
down for that long, but yelling
no in Unison would have probably made me

854
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:12.920
laugh. I would have probably started
laughing. I'm but I'm such an obnoxious

855
01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:15.519
Pollyanna. I'd probably after fifteen minutes
being up there, I'd be like,

856
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:17.199
well, if this is the worst
part of my day and never be like

857
01:06:17.320 --> 01:06:23.800
shut up, I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, jeez. It's unclear

858
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:26.960
how many people were on the ride, which contains enough seats for forty eight

859
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:30.719
people. Some of the passengers were
seated face to face with strangers, a

860
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:34.599
design choice that quote let's guests interact
with one another and watch the terror on

861
01:06:34.639 --> 01:06:40.599
their friends faces as they loop round
and round. According to the Wonderland website,

862
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:44.000
at least they could talk to people
then, Yeah, that'd be nice.

863
01:06:44.039 --> 01:06:49.719
Hey, how are you scared?
You also scared? Okaychell? Actually,

864
01:06:49.800 --> 01:06:53.920
let's okay, let's do this.
Okay, so we're both upside down,

865
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.760
Okay, We're both upside down,
seventy five feet in the air hu

866
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:03.960
at the amusement park. Oh,
my nose feels weird. Yeah, how

867
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:08.440
you doing? How you doing?
Pal? I don't know. I don't

868
01:07:08.480 --> 01:07:12.239
know. My feet are kind of
tingily, but I think that's okay given

869
01:07:12.280 --> 01:07:17.480
the situation. My eyelids feel funny
too, really yeah, heavy man?

870
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:25.559
Oh? I mean you could close
your eyes if you want. Oh uh,

871
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:30.719
whatever you do, don't close your
eyes. Oh oh, oh god,

872
01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:35.760
Oh were you trying to lull me
off into death? What? Why

873
01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:39.519
would I do that? Just?
I don't know. I thought we were

874
01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:44.599
friends. We are friends. Just
relax. I just sounds exactly like somebody

875
01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:48.800
who's luring me to death. I
don't think closing your eyes is really going

876
01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:56.679
to kill you. I'm just I'm
just so tired. It's so heavy with

877
01:07:56.840 --> 01:08:01.039
blood. I know. Just just
rest. It's gonna be over soon,

878
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:12.320
okay, just really soon. Don't
do that. They weren't even talking to

879
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:15.640
you. I saw my relatives.
They all told me not to trust you.

880
01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:26.479
Geez. I'm not a word with
them. When I die. We'll

881
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:38.920
be back with more of this story
after this quick break, and we are

882
01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:44.960
back, and we're talking about people
in Canada, stuck upside down on an

883
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:48.560
amusement ride, and you're gonna really
like this part, shell because you talked

884
01:08:48.560 --> 01:08:51.840
all about you talked a pretty big
game about how you're just you're fine,

885
01:08:53.359 --> 01:09:00.760
yep, whining, you're fine,
You're fine. So those people aboard the

886
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:06.000
ride were panicked and at least one
person vomited. Oh no, yeah,

887
01:09:06.079 --> 01:09:12.720
yeah, people started vomiting. Oh
sorry, uh, And that was reported

888
01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.840
by Spencer park House. He told
that to CBC News he was on the

889
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:20.479
ride. The eleven year old said
that the hydraulic arms had to cycle through

890
01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:27.039
the rest of the ride before the
group could be evacuated. That you still

891
01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:30.560
get your money's worth kids, That
sucks, Yeah, you had so then

892
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:32.640
I had to spin and spin and
spin after all that. Oh my god,

893
01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:38.000
I hope they like give these people
some money or something. Yeah,

894
01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:40.840
like a lot of money. I'm
not I don't even think it has to

895
01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:44.640
be. I think like five hundred
bucks a piece, just to be like,

896
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:46.720
we're really sorry, please don't sue
us. I mean I think that's

897
01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:49.520
a lot of money. Oh,
I mean, I think that's it's not

898
01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:54.000
like lawsuit settlement money, but it's
like enough to say, like we're really

899
01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:57.520
sorry, and I would I wouldn't
have thought the five hundred dollars if it

900
01:09:57.560 --> 01:10:01.439
didn't have to go through the fucking
motions after that's a baby, you owe

901
01:10:01.479 --> 01:10:11.199
them jury quote. So the ride
kept going and we're all like, no,

902
01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:14.439
please, I don't want to get
stuck again. He said, Oh

903
01:10:14.560 --> 01:10:17.600
my god, hey, this is
I mean, this is why it's the

904
01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:24.000
spooky news. The incident is the
latest in a string of roller coaster malfunctions

905
01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:28.359
that have made national headlines in the
last few months. In July, nine

906
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:33.159
passengers of the Oscillating Fireball at a
Wisconsin festival were stuck upside down for several

907
01:10:33.279 --> 01:10:43.119
hours as first responders scrambled for equipment
to conduct a mid air evacuation. Wow.

908
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:46.159
Just days earlier, a three hundred
and twenty five foot tall roller coaster

909
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:51.760
in North Carolina was closed for repairs
after visitors reported seeing a complete fissure in

910
01:10:51.800 --> 01:11:00.920
one of its steel support beams.
WOW inspectors later detected a second ructual issue

911
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:04.960
with the ride and decline to issue
the certificate of operation. Thank god.

912
01:11:05.960 --> 01:11:09.520
So let's go to amusement park.
It sounds like this is the prime time

913
01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:14.239
to do it. You go,
Let's go man, I I can come

914
01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:15.840
with you if you want to get
on the rides, and I'll just do

915
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:19.960
what I always do and I'm just
there. Is that? Yeah, that's

916
01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:26.079
what I Yeah. Yeah, Like
I like the I can go on like

917
01:11:26.119 --> 01:11:30.199
the log Flume for some reason,
but it's still scary. I also like

918
01:11:30.239 --> 01:11:33.319
the log Flume. Yeah, but
that's about as much as I can do.

919
01:11:36.680 --> 01:11:41.199
That needs to be the next monthly
Spooky Spooky Teachers. Just a drawing

920
01:11:41.239 --> 01:11:45.760
of you and it just says I
like the log Flume. Well, this

921
01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:50.000
next one, believe it or not, comes from Mirror dot co dot uk

922
01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:58.159
and it says exclusive and field poltergeist
photographer reveals what really happened on the night

923
01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:05.399
he snapped hauntings. So I'm gonna
tell you something. The photo is of

924
01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:13.439
a woman in mid air screaming like
she jumped, and she screaming. I

925
01:12:13.479 --> 01:12:18.680
think it is very clear that she
is jumping in the air, But there

926
01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:23.479
are people who claim she was levitating
and that they took a photograph of her

927
01:12:23.560 --> 01:12:30.079
levitating, which what is her hair
doing? It is like halfway up as

928
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:34.880
if she's going down toward the ground. In my opinion, I am not

929
01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:41.960
a doctor, but that is a
girl who jumped up in the air.

930
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:47.239
Yeah. Also it's a flash photograph, which makes you more capable of capturing

931
01:12:47.279 --> 01:12:54.279
still life in mid air. Just
my opinion. But I've always thought the

932
01:12:54.359 --> 01:13:00.399
Enfield poltergeist photos were kids jumping up
in the air. Okay, yeah,

933
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:05.079
I've always thought that, So let's
dive into it a little bit more.

934
01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:10.600
It was a slow night in the
Daily Mirror newsroom and reporter Doug Bentz was

935
01:13:10.640 --> 01:13:14.840
bored at his desk watching colleagues play
dominoes. What is this article? What's

936
01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:20.880
happening? The phone rang with reader
Vic Nottingham calling about ruckus at his neighbor's

937
01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:25.239
house. Oh, this is from
it back in the day when this happened.

938
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:34.039
Ow I thought that this was talking
about now report, So Doug recalls

939
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:39.279
recalls quote. He was saying,
it's gone potty next door. We've got

940
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:44.560
hysterical women talking about ghosts. Something
strange is happening. Things are flying around

941
01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:47.159
and furniture is moving. Sorry about
the accent, I said, because there

942
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:53.439
was nothing happening, I don't mind
going. So the young reporter and photographer

943
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:57.880
Graham Morris headed to two eight four
Green Street and Field, North London.

944
01:13:58.319 --> 01:14:01.239
It was September nineteen seventy seven,
and the pair were heading to cover a

945
01:14:01.319 --> 01:14:06.880
story which would follow them through their
lives, that of the Enfield Poltergeist,

946
01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:12.880
now the subject of a four part
Apple TV series which airs from Saturday.

947
01:14:13.840 --> 01:14:15.720
Nice Plug. I wonder if they
got paid for that. I bet they

948
01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:18.359
did. I kind of feel like
they get paid for all of this stuff

949
01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:24.520
now. When the reporters arrived,
they found Vic and his neighbor, Peggy

950
01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:28.560
Hodgson, with three of her children, Margaret thirteen, Janet eleven, and

951
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:32.279
seven year old Billy inside the small
house. Doug now eighty three, living

952
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:35.840
in Suffolk said, we went inside, we were given a cup of tea.

953
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:39.479
Nothing happened at all. We spoke
to the family and we got their

954
01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:43.720
names. We saw the two girls
and a boy playing. We met the

955
01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:46.520
concerned neighbor, and nothing was happening. We drank our tea and left.

956
01:14:47.079 --> 01:14:50.920
Just as the two mirror men reached
the car, they heard Vic Nottingham scream

957
01:14:51.159 --> 01:14:58.600
it's happening again. They rushed back
inside to pandemonium, with objects shooting across

958
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:02.359
the room. Lego were flying around
and Graham was hit with one. Says

959
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:08.000
Doug, I know it's hard to
say how many, but it was quite

960
01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:11.600
a short period of about a minute. The young boy was playing in it.

961
01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.600
The two girls were screaming and crying, the mother was in a state.

962
01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:18.800
Vic Nottingham was doing his best.
There's no question that they had they

963
01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:23.039
had engineered it in any or.
There was no question that they had engineered

964
01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:26.479
it in any way. So he's
saying that it wasn't them, right.

965
01:15:27.039 --> 01:15:30.479
I think it's interesting. The kid
was playing. Yeah, Well, he's

966
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:32.359
like, this isn't a big deal. He's like, this is awesome.

967
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:40.000
Yeah, with Graham suffering a bruised
face and the two men. The two

968
01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:43.239
men immediately headed back to the office, shocked at what they had witnessed.

969
01:15:43.640 --> 01:15:46.800
Over the following few days, Doug
returned to the Hodgson's house each night with

970
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:53.399
Graham and senior reporter George Fallows.
When nothing more happened, they enlisted the

971
01:15:53.439 --> 01:15:57.960
help of the Society for Psychical Oh
wow, oh yeah, I love old

972
01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:01.760
old words. Cycle research. I
guess that's what they used to call it,

973
01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:08.560
instead of psychic cycle research, which
was research as the paranormal. Soon,

974
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:13.119
the house was frequently frequented by experts
Guy Lyon Playfair and the late Maurice

975
01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:15.800
Gruse. Doug and George went on
to report on the front page of the

976
01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:20.640
Daily Mirror on September tenth, nineteen
seventy seven, that's my birthday. Wasn't

977
01:16:20.680 --> 01:16:26.520
born yet, but yeah, I
was born about ten years later. In

978
01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:30.279
the last eight days a quote,
A saucer has jumped across the kitchen,

979
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:33.760
furniture has moved, and marbles and
toys and toy building bricks have shot through

980
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:40.439
the air. Although Doug only bore
witness to the flying lego bricks, Graham

981
01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:45.159
captured an image of Janet supposedly levitating. He had set up the camera on

982
01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:48.199
a tripod in the corner of the
children's bedroom at the modest house. Attached

983
01:16:48.239 --> 01:16:51.560
to it was a long cable that
ran down into the living room so the

984
01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:57.800
Mirror photographer could capture images whenever he
heard a sound from upstairs, while also

985
01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:01.279
recording audio on a separate device,
So he wasn't even in the room.

986
01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:08.600
No, apparently not. Oh okay, I that's a weird one. I

987
01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:14.000
can't pretend that's not strange. Yeah. What transpired was a striking snap of

988
01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:18.199
Janet suspended in the air above her
bed in a nightgown as Margaret lies across

989
01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:24.359
the room contorted in a scream.
It has been used by many paranormal fans

990
01:17:24.399 --> 01:17:30.560
to prove the presence of a poltergeist, but Doug is skeptical. Oh good

991
01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:33.439
good, she wasn't levitating. You
can tell from the picture, he says.

992
01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:36.520
He explains the angle was a part
of the illusion. If you know

993
01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:41.000
anything about photography, you go low
and the world looks different, he adds.

994
01:17:41.319 --> 01:17:44.880
Love this guy. However, over
the next ten months, many dramatic

995
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:49.079
and paranormal events were reported in the
house, including more objects being hurled across

996
01:17:49.119 --> 01:17:55.079
the rooms, levitations, and recordings
of the daughters speaking in demonic voices.

997
01:17:57.079 --> 01:18:01.159
Okay. There were also sports of
tapping sounds in the walls, and most

998
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:08.359
terrifyingly, Janet would sometimes speak in
a gruff, deep male voice, claiming

999
01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:12.439
to be with Bill Wilkins, a
former tenant who had died at the property.

1000
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:15.680
Huh, I mean I feel like
that's just normal kid stuff, right,

1001
01:18:15.960 --> 01:18:20.560
Yeah? Yeah, channeling dead people, didn't you and your brother and

1002
01:18:20.600 --> 01:18:24.439
sister didn't you? Guys used to
say, like, I'm the former tenant

1003
01:18:24.479 --> 01:18:27.920
of this house, I'm a ghost. Yeah, I feel like you told

1004
01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:30.479
me a story exactly like, that's
like the game we played all the time.

1005
01:18:31.000 --> 01:18:38.439
Okay, see good clean fun Yeah
yeah, the quote. The girls

1006
01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:42.720
were terrified, says Doug. They
were clearly very troubled by this. Everything

1007
01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:45.199
was hard for them. The girls
later admitted to hoaxing a few of the

1008
01:18:45.199 --> 01:18:50.279
paranormal ongoings, but Doug is certain
something peculiar was happening in that home.

1009
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:55.279
Hmm. I mean, I wonder
if he'd benefit in anyway from that.

1010
01:18:55.680 --> 01:19:00.399
I don't know, he says.
Quote. I wouldn't use the word supernatural.

1011
01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:04.039
There was something I couldn't explain.
There was something weird going on in

1012
01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:10.319
that house. Okay. My view
is that there were energies and forces that

1013
01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:14.560
we can't measure and we don't understand. Doug believes that the involvement of the

1014
01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:20.680
Society of Cycle Research somewhat exacerbated the
family's issues. They really latched on,

1015
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:27.159
He says, they became part of
the problem. He experienced this willingness to

1016
01:19:27.159 --> 01:19:30.520
suspend disbelief from Maurice Gross. Doug
recalls one night when the pair heard a

1017
01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:35.039
loud noise coming from the kid's room. They ran into the it says,

1018
01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:39.319
hey ran into the room. Gosh, come on, mirror, they ran

1019
01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:43.920
into the room to find an upturned
bedside table. Doug recalls, quote one

1020
01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:46.680
of the legs was bent, and
Maurice Gross said, you think little fingers

1021
01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:51.640
have the force to do that.
You've got to agree with that. I

1022
01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:56.840
said no, because I didn't see
the table before. It could have been

1023
01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:00.760
like that for a year. Yeah, that was the kind thing. He

1024
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:04.159
explains that the family did need did
did need help to cope, but the

1025
01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:10.760
attention that they received spiraled after a
genuine paranormal investigation was turned into a farce.

1026
01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:15.720
Much of the poltergeist activity was centered
around Janet, and in twenty fifteen,

1027
01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:19.319
she explained, quote, just two
percent of it was made up.

1028
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:24.800
Why would any of it be made
up? Okay? So so yeah,

1029
01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.960
so here's the deal, Like if
you have something that's happening in your house,

1030
01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:31.159
it's like kind of terrifying, and
you're calling in people like you're making

1031
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:39.000
part of it up? Really like
just two percent. I don't even think

1032
01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:44.319
she understands. Two percent. Is
that's like like like milk to two out

1033
01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:48.199
of one hundred incidents. I'm sure, come on, like milk, like

1034
01:20:48.319 --> 01:20:53.960
milk, Yeah, exactly, like
milk. Just the two percent one quote,

1035
01:20:54.039 --> 01:20:57.079
I knew when the voices were happening. Of course, it felt like

1036
01:20:57.159 --> 01:21:00.640
something was behind me all of the
time. She said the levitation was scary

1037
01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:05.199
because you didn't know where you were
going to land. I remember a curtain

1038
01:21:05.279 --> 01:21:12.439
being wound around my neck. I
thought I was going to die. Yeah,

1039
01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:15.600
I mean, that is that's stuff. I'm impressed that they mostly levitated

1040
01:21:15.640 --> 01:21:21.319
over their bed, because kids don't
jump on beds. Yeah, Doug felt

1041
01:21:21.359 --> 01:21:25.720
sorry for the Hodgson family. Quote
for the family, it was horrible.

1042
01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:29.840
There are forces we don't understand.
I haven't seen ghosts, but there were

1043
01:21:29.680 --> 01:21:34.680
a funny things going on in that
house. So it wasn't ghosts, but

1044
01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:39.920
it was definitely something. Well,
I mean, I agree with it was

1045
01:21:39.960 --> 01:21:45.319
something. It's definitely something was going
on. Yeah, yeah, but you

1046
01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:48.600
don't know what. I mean,
I probably know what, but oh then

1047
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:56.560
please enlighten us. Oh go on, ll fair Okay, fair enough?

1048
01:21:56.680 --> 01:22:00.279
That was wow. Wow, cell
coming out swing on this one. Sorry,

1049
01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:03.079
okay, no, no, that's
good. You're you're good. You're

1050
01:22:03.119 --> 01:22:09.800
a good person. So well,
that's it for the spooky news for our

1051
01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:13.600
spooky season. We hope you enjoyed
that, and we're gonna take a quick

1052
01:22:13.600 --> 01:22:15.239
break, and then we're gonna get
back and we're going to talk about Games

1053
01:22:15.239 --> 01:22:20.680
for Halloween by Mary F. Blaine, published in nineteen twelve. Maybe this

1054
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:25.239
will give you a few bits of
inspiration for some fun and games you could

1055
01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:36.479
perform tomorrow on Halloween. Right here, a monthly Spooky After these quick words,

1056
01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:44.640
I have something I've been very excited
to dig into a little bit.

1057
01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:47.920
It's Games for Halloween by Mary F. Blair, published in nineteen twelve.

1058
01:22:48.359 --> 01:22:54.199
This was a guide for how to
have a Halloween party, and this was

1059
01:22:54.239 --> 01:22:59.680
published not long after Halloween was basically
invented. Wow, I mean, as

1060
01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:03.680
we know it. Wow. You
know there were obviously the sowin celebrations and

1061
01:23:03.680 --> 01:23:09.039
stuff, but this is the Halloween
we know And I wanted to share this

1062
01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:14.560
with you, cell and see what
you thought about throwing the perfect Halloween party.

1063
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:20.039
Yay. I guess Halloween or Hallow's
Eve is the last night of October,

1064
01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:25.680
being the eve of vigil of all
Hallows or all Saints Day, and

1065
01:23:25.760 --> 01:23:29.800
no holiday and all the year is
so informal or so marked by fun,

1066
01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:34.000
both for grown ups as well as
children as this one. I mean,

1067
01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:41.520
that's right on this night there should
be nothing but laughter, fun and mystery.

1068
01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:46.239
It is the night when fairies dance, ghosts, witches, devils,

1069
01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:53.359
and mischief making elves wander around elves. Okay, this is why I love

1070
01:23:53.399 --> 01:23:55.840
the older Halloween stuff, because they'll
like say things I'm like, Oh,

1071
01:23:55.960 --> 01:24:00.000
okay, that one I did,
never, never did. Yeah. It

1072
01:24:00.119 --> 01:24:05.279
is the night when all sorts of
charms and spells are invoked for prying into

1073
01:24:05.319 --> 01:24:10.439
the future by all young folks,
and sometimes by folks who are not young.

1074
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:15.359
Yeah, we had to include them
too. Well. Last year we

1075
01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:17.479
read a book like this, but
it was a It was a pamphlet published

1076
01:24:17.479 --> 01:24:23.000
by a wool company about all the
ways you could use wool to celebrate Halloween,

1077
01:24:23.359 --> 01:24:26.880
and it was pretty fun. I
did like how almost all the party

1078
01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:29.760
games were just to tell you who
you were going to marry. Yeah.

1079
01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:32.920
Yeah, those were some fun.
I mean those are especially fun for you

1080
01:24:38.039 --> 01:24:41.800
in getting up a Halloween. In
getting up a Halloween party, I love

1081
01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:45.560
that in getting up a Halloween party, everything should be made as secret as

1082
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:51.479
possible, and each guest bound to
secrecy concerning the invitations. Any of the

1083
01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:58.039
following forms of invitations might be used. Witches and choice, spirits of darkness

1084
01:24:58.119 --> 01:25:02.199
will hold high carnival it my house
on whatever day October thirty first, at

1085
01:25:02.199 --> 01:25:06.920
eight o'clock, come prepared to test
your fate costume, witches, ghosts,

1086
01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:13.000
etc. Miss Ethel Jones will expect
to see you at her Halloween party at

1087
01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:16.880
eight o'clock. She begs that you
will come prepared to participate in the mysteries

1088
01:25:16.920 --> 01:25:21.439
and rites of all Hallows Eve,
and to wear a costume appropriate to the

1089
01:25:21.479 --> 01:25:29.840
occasion. Okay, I like that
the room or rooms in which most of

1090
01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:34.520
the games are to be played should
be decorated as grotesquely as possible, with

1091
01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:41.359
jack o lanterns made from apples,
cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, et cetera,

1092
01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:45.720
and with incisions made for eyes,
nose, and mouth, and a

1093
01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:50.640
lighted candle placed within. I want
to see some cucumber jack o' lanterns,

1094
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:55.560
Bay, I feel like I want
to make some apple ones. Could That

1095
01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:59.680
should be pretty easy? Yeah?
I know that in the way old and

1096
01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:01.680
days back in Europe, they would
make them out of like turnips and stuff

1097
01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:08.039
pumpkins. I totally get why pumpkins
took over that market though. Yeah.

1098
01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:11.439
Ye, million times easier to do. Yeah, have you carved your jacke

1099
01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:15.800
lnen yet No, I carve it
the day before or the day of.

1100
01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:20.000
So yeah, this year, I'm
carving the day of good the weather's been

1101
01:26:20.039 --> 01:26:23.319
so up and down. I was
afraid to carve it the week a week

1102
01:26:23.359 --> 01:26:31.199
earlier and have it rot. Yeah. Yeah, let's see, jack o'

1103
01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:38.479
lanterns for the gas jets maybe made
of what don't understand this sentence? Jack

1104
01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:42.960
o lanterns for the gas jets may
be made of pasteboard boxes about the size

1105
01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:46.239
of a shoe box. Okay,
I think I understand that sentence. Oh

1106
01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:51.479
well, please enlighten me. I'm
assuming gas jets they're talking about, like

1107
01:26:51.640 --> 01:26:58.600
maybe they're talking about like flame lightning
like guess oh, so maybe they're talking

1108
01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:03.680
about putting like a I got fox
or something over the lights that you have,

1109
01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:08.399
like because back in old days there
used to be gas lines and people

1110
01:27:08.399 --> 01:27:13.560
would have like fire gas lighting.
Yeah, that makes sense because electricity is

1111
01:27:13.600 --> 01:27:18.920
still somewhat recent in nineteen fourteen.
Yeah, so yeah, maybe they're talking

1112
01:27:18.960 --> 01:27:23.760
about using Yeah, maybe that's Oh
gosh, when was the light bulb invented?

1113
01:27:23.920 --> 01:27:26.640
I forget? Oh, you don't
know off the top of your head.

1114
01:27:26.680 --> 01:27:30.000
You went to college, they didn't
teach me that or they did.

1115
01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:34.720
I'm not good at remembering eighteen seventy
nine. Okay, so yeah, it's

1116
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:40.680
still pretty recent. Yeah, it's
relatively new. Oh my god, when

1117
01:27:40.760 --> 01:27:44.039
they were doing this, like the
light bulb was like as was as recent

1118
01:27:44.119 --> 01:27:50.279
an invention as the smartphone. Wow, so not that recent. Well,

1119
01:27:50.279 --> 01:27:58.039
but but I remember not having one. Yeah yeah, huh. So just

1120
01:27:58.119 --> 01:28:01.760
saying cut holes for eyes, nose, and mouth, and all four sides

1121
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:08.560
of the box and cover the holes
with red or green tissue paper. Okay,

1122
01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:12.239
yeah, a black box with the
openings covered with red tissue paper or

1123
01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:17.800
vice versa, or white and green
make good combinations. Let's see, a

1124
01:28:17.880 --> 01:28:23.079
skull and crossbones placed over the door
entering the house would be very appropriate.

1125
01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:27.319
The hall should be in total darkness
except for the light coming from the jack

1126
01:28:27.359 --> 01:28:31.199
o lanterns of all shapes and sizes
in various places. Cool. Yeah,

1127
01:28:31.359 --> 01:28:36.560
I'm liking this party so far.
Autumn leaves, green branches, apples,

1128
01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:42.600
tomatoes, and corn should also play
an important part in the decorations. Okay,

1129
01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:50.439
tom now we're getting into into like
Thanksgiving territory. But black and yellow

1130
01:28:50.560 --> 01:28:56.279
cheese cloth or crape paper of course, crape that was most of what they

1131
01:28:56.439 --> 01:28:59.199
that was. The thing was crape
A crape company. Yeah, it was

1132
01:28:59.239 --> 01:29:03.920
a crape paper makes very effective and
inexpensive decorations. The dining room should be

1133
01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:09.720
decorated with autumn leaves, golden rod, yellow chrysanthemums, strings of cranberries,

1134
01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:15.840
et cetera. For a table center
Oh sorry, oh I just said Okay.

1135
01:29:15.640 --> 01:29:18.920
For a table centerpiece, a large
pumpkin could be used with the top

1136
01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:24.039
cut off and partly filled with water, in which a large bunch of yellow

1137
01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:30.960
chrysanthemums or gold golden rod could be
placed. Bay leaves can be scattered over

1138
01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:36.479
the table. I need those to
throwing them on the table. You can

1139
01:29:36.520 --> 01:29:41.479
still cook with them, you just
take them back. Oh oh, you're

1140
01:29:41.640 --> 01:29:46.079
such a fuddy duddy. I love
this stuff. This is why I wanted

1141
01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:50.479
to read through this with you.
It blows my mind hearing how different the

1142
01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:55.680
celebration styles were. Yeah, you
know, like like a lot of this

1143
01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:59.159
sounds like stuff you would decorate for
Thanksgiving, because I guess you know,

1144
01:29:59.159 --> 01:30:04.159
it's all about fall. Yeah.
Another idea for a centerpiece is a large

1145
01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:09.520
pumpkin jack o' lander in the top
cut in large points, with small chocolate

1146
01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:14.039
mice in the notches and scampering down
the sides of the pumpkin held in place

1147
01:30:14.119 --> 01:30:17.520
by long pins or a little glue, and over the table. Okay,

1148
01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:25.560
I guess chocolate mice were like a
very common thing then, yeah, or

1149
01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:31.720
you have to make your own chocolate
mice. Let's see, let's move ahead

1150
01:30:31.720 --> 01:30:40.680
a little bit. Okay, so
let's get into some games. Okay,

1151
01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:44.399
it says here the following. Because
the rest it's just like other ways you

1152
01:30:44.399 --> 01:30:48.840
can decorate and making placards and place
cards and stuff like that. The following

1153
01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:56.239
games and tests of fate and fortune
will furnish entertainment for children small and children

1154
01:30:56.319 --> 01:31:00.560
of larger growth. Language was so
weird back then. Yeah, of course,

1155
01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:04.359
prying into the future with these tests. At any other time they may

1156
01:31:04.399 --> 01:31:09.920
not prove infallible. But on the
eve of All Saints Day, when all

1157
01:31:10.039 --> 01:31:14.720
the elves, fairies, goblins and
hobgoblins are at large, playing pranks and

1158
01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:20.399
teasing and pleasing, why should they
not come true? Yeah? All right,

1159
01:31:20.439 --> 01:31:24.720
fine, I mean that sounds awesome. I also want to point out

1160
01:31:24.720 --> 01:31:27.920
I know, I think I mentioned
this last year too. I really think

1161
01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:30.800
that one of the reasons, like, especially in our generation growing up that

1162
01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:35.920
like so many Christian groups hated Halloween
was the way they celebrated it in the

1163
01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:41.920
earliest times was like super occulty compared
to now, Like it was they were

1164
01:31:41.920 --> 01:31:46.319
always doing like summonings and seances and
fortune telling and stuff. But like when

1165
01:31:46.319 --> 01:31:48.560
we were growing up, people would
say, like, it's a Satanic holiday

1166
01:31:48.560 --> 01:31:51.319
and we would literally be like all
we do is get candy and watch it.

1167
01:31:51.399 --> 01:31:56.319
Yeah, like I but like I
kind of get maybe when they were,

1168
01:31:56.520 --> 01:31:59.279
you know, when they were teenagers, it was like we're going to

1169
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:01.720
a seance, We're gonna do this
that. Like maybe they could feel that

1170
01:32:01.760 --> 01:32:05.800
way because of that, but it's
so alien to me. But that's also

1171
01:32:05.840 --> 01:32:08.960
what makes it kind of fun and
spooky, is like reading these things,

1172
01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:13.560
it's like, oh, it's talking
about like doing mild witchcraft kind of fun.

1173
01:32:14.359 --> 01:32:19.199
Yeah yeah, So Chell, do
you like walnuts? Did you ask

1174
01:32:19.239 --> 01:32:25.560
if I like walnuts? Yes,
of course I did. Yeah, Well

1175
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:30.640
how about walnut boats? Like like
out of the shells or what are we

1176
01:32:30.680 --> 01:32:38.399
doing? Walnut? It says,
open English walnuts, remove meat and in

1177
01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:44.359
each half shell, fasten short pieces
of different colored Christmas candies, each of

1178
01:32:44.399 --> 01:32:47.720
which is to be named for a
member of party. And after lighting,

1179
01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:55.239
set afloat in large pan or tub
of water. Okay, The behavior of

1180
01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:59.479
these tiny boats reveals future for the
of those for whom they are named.

1181
01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:03.159
If two glide on together, their
owners have a similar destiny. If they

1182
01:33:03.159 --> 01:33:09.840
glide apart, so will their owners. Sometimes candles will huddle together as if

1183
01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:14.760
talking to one another, while perchance
one will be left alone out in the

1184
01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:18.720
cold as it were. Again,
two will start off, and all the

1185
01:33:18.760 --> 01:33:24.239
rest will closely follow the one who's
candy or candle. I'm sorry, I

1186
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:28.800
said candy before it's candle. Okay. Candle first goes out is destined to

1187
01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:33.079
be old and to be old,
bachelor or made. These nutshell boats may

1188
01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:38.159
also be made by pouring melted wax
into halves of walnut shells, in which

1189
01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:41.880
a short string is used for a
wick. Okay, I like that that

1190
01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:44.760
way because I don't know how the
candles are going to stand up in there,

1191
01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:48.560
So if it's poured in, you
know, that'll make sense definitely.

1192
01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:57.399
So here's another one shell. Do
you like cake? Not really? Oh

1193
01:33:57.720 --> 01:34:02.720
well, then you'll love dumb cake. This one's called dumb cake. Each

1194
01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:09.039
one places a handful of wheat flour
on sheet of white paper and sprinkles it

1195
01:34:09.079 --> 01:34:13.760
over with a pinch of salt.
Someone makes it into dough, being careful

1196
01:34:13.800 --> 01:34:17.600
not to use spring water. This
is getting weird. I love it being

1197
01:34:17.640 --> 01:34:21.000
careful not to use spring water.
Each rolls up a piece of dough,

1198
01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:25.359
spreads it out thin and flat,
and marks initials on it with a new

1199
01:34:25.399 --> 01:34:28.840
pin, not an old pin,
a new pin. Well, I mean,

1200
01:34:28.840 --> 01:34:31.119
come on, you don't want to
get tennis. The cakes are placed

1201
01:34:31.159 --> 01:34:36.119
before fire and all take seats as
far from it as possible. This is

1202
01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:41.880
done before eleven PM, and between
that time and midnight, each one must

1203
01:34:41.920 --> 01:34:46.479
turn the Each one must turn cake
once. When clock strikes twelve, future

1204
01:34:46.520 --> 01:34:50.399
wife or husband of one who is
to be married first will enter and lay

1205
01:34:50.479 --> 01:34:56.800
hand on cake marked with name.
Throughout whole proceeding, not a word is

1206
01:34:56.880 --> 01:35:01.479
spoken, hence the name dumb cake. So it's the old definition of dumb,

1207
01:35:01.640 --> 01:35:09.680
like yeah, unable to speak.
So the yeah okay oh. It

1208
01:35:09.720 --> 01:35:14.520
says if suffer wow, if supper
is served before eleven thirty, dumb cakes

1209
01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:18.600
should be reserved for one of the
after supper tests. Okay, I like

1210
01:35:18.600 --> 01:35:24.279
that they're eating supper European like crazy
late Yeah, yeah, I wish.

1211
01:35:24.359 --> 01:35:27.239
You know what I wish I didn't
get heartburn. I would I would totally

1212
01:35:27.359 --> 01:35:31.159
lean into eating dinner at like Mexican
time. No no, no, no,

1213
01:35:30.399 --> 01:35:34.560
no no no, you eat early, I do. I don't want

1214
01:35:34.600 --> 01:35:40.439
to eat dinner super late. It's
weird for me. Go on, just

1215
01:35:40.520 --> 01:35:43.800
judge all the cultures of the world
who eat late. I just don't want

1216
01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:47.960
to. Ah, Okay, fine, okay. This one's called the Halloween

1217
01:35:48.039 --> 01:35:56.279
Souvenir game. Suspend apples by means
of strings and doorways or from ceiling at

1218
01:35:56.359 --> 01:36:01.199
proper height to be caught between the
teeth. First successful player receives a prize.

1219
01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:08.880
These prizes should be Halloween souvenirs such
as emery cushions of silk representing tomatoes,

1220
01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:14.079
radishes, apples, pears, pickles, or pen wipers representing brooms,

1221
01:36:14.199 --> 01:36:20.319
bats, cats, witches, et
cetera. Okay, I like that they're

1222
01:36:20.359 --> 01:36:25.680
called pen wipers. I guess they're
pen toppers, is what we call them

1223
01:36:25.720 --> 01:36:30.520
the Yes, yeah, let's see. Here's another one for you. You

1224
01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:35.439
like flour right, like the baking
type, Yes flower, Yes, I

1225
01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:41.399
like it a lot, like I
quite enjoy flour from time to time.

1226
01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:47.000
I do well. This is the
flower test, a bowl is filled tightly

1227
01:36:47.039 --> 01:36:51.920
with flour. During the process of
filling, a wedding ring is inserted vertically

1228
01:36:51.960 --> 01:36:57.039
in some part of it. The
bowl, when full, is inverted upon

1229
01:36:57.079 --> 01:37:02.199
a dish and withdrawn, leaving the
mound of flower on the dish. Each

1230
01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:05.920
guest cuts off with a knife a
thin slice, which crumbles into dust.

1231
01:37:06.560 --> 01:37:12.039
The guest who cuts off the slice
containing the ring will be married. First.

1232
01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:16.560
They they what you're trying to say, They get they get a little

1233
01:37:16.600 --> 01:37:21.720
predictable. I'm trying to say,
Wow, everything's really about marriage. Isn't

1234
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:28.560
it always about marriage? Yes?
It is, deal with it. No,

1235
01:37:29.399 --> 01:37:30.479
I mean it. Also, it
makes a lot of sense to because

1236
01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:35.000
these games are for like teenagers or
young adults mostly, and most of them

1237
01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:38.439
are thinking about like if they're not
married. They're like, when is it

1238
01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:44.479
gonna happen? Yeah, when when
that's gonna happen? Well? Here,

1239
01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:45.840
okay, So this one's this will
be a break from it. This one's

1240
01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:51.520
called the lover's test. Damn it. It's literally called lover's test a maid

1241
01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:57.239
in youth. Each places a chestnut
to roast on fire side by side.

1242
01:37:57.680 --> 01:38:00.640
If one hisses and steams it indicates
a fretful temper in the owner of the

1243
01:38:00.760 --> 01:38:09.439
chestnut. If both chestnuts equally misbehave, it augurs strife. If one or

1244
01:38:09.479 --> 01:38:15.000
both pop away, it means separation. But if both burned to ashes tranquility

1245
01:38:15.119 --> 01:38:18.920
side by side, a long life
of undisturbed happiness will be a lot of

1246
01:38:19.039 --> 01:38:24.239
owners. Wow. I would think
it's a lot more common for it to

1247
01:38:24.359 --> 01:38:28.520
not to like do something, you
know, to just sit there and just

1248
01:38:28.800 --> 01:38:32.600
quietly burn, unless you waste your
life with someone who doesn't really work out

1249
01:38:32.800 --> 01:38:36.800
with you. And whoa yeah,
Shell, you're getting a little dark.

1250
01:38:38.239 --> 01:38:43.199
Sorry. Wow, And for those
one and Shell has no ex husbands,

1251
01:38:43.319 --> 01:38:49.720
so I don't know why she's this
angry, but fair. These ut portantness

1252
01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:58.399
importantess omens are fitly defined in the
following lines. These glowing nuts are emblems

1253
01:38:58.439 --> 01:39:02.399
true of what in human life we
view. The ill matched couple fret and

1254
01:39:02.479 --> 01:39:11.000
fume and thus in strife themselves consume
or from each other worldly start and with

1255
01:39:11.079 --> 01:39:15.359
a noise forever part. But see
the happy happy pair of genuine love,

1256
01:39:15.680 --> 01:39:23.279
true Andre and true sincere with mutual
fondness. While they burn still to each

1257
01:39:23.399 --> 01:39:30.079
other kindly turn and as the vital
sparks, decay together, gently sink away

1258
01:39:30.800 --> 01:39:35.720
till life's fierce trials, being past
their mingled ashes, rest at last.

1259
01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:47.319
Gross. Oh you love it?
Well, we have even more games to

1260
01:39:47.399 --> 01:39:59.359
play right after this quick break.
All right, we're back and shell.

1261
01:40:00.439 --> 01:40:04.560
I found a party game that I'm
pretty sure is not about finding your future

1262
01:40:04.640 --> 01:40:11.520
husband or wife. I don't really
believe you. Well, it's called marriage

1263
01:40:11.560 --> 01:40:15.039
Hunt. No, I'm just saying. It's actually called Perplexing Hunt. And

1264
01:40:15.560 --> 01:40:19.119
one of my favorite things about these
old timey games is it has a poem

1265
01:40:19.239 --> 01:40:23.800
to go along with it. I
love the idea that somebody had to sit

1266
01:40:23.880 --> 01:40:27.479
and read a poem while everybody was
playing. Yeah, I'm sure everyone was

1267
01:40:27.560 --> 01:40:32.920
like stop. People used to really
like poetry and then people like you came

1268
01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:38.680
along and ruined it. Sorry.
In this game, the seeker for a

1269
01:40:38.760 --> 01:40:43.359
prize is guided from place to place
by dogge rolls as the following, and

1270
01:40:43.520 --> 01:40:46.960
is started on his hunt with this
rhyme, Perhaps you'll find it in the

1271
01:40:47.000 --> 01:40:51.000
air. If not, look underneath
your chair. Beneath his chair, he

1272
01:40:51.079 --> 01:40:55.840
finds the following. No, you
will not find it here. Search the

1273
01:40:55.880 --> 01:41:00.079
clock and have no fear. Under
the clock, he finds you will have

1274
01:41:00.119 --> 01:41:03.199
to try once more. Look behind
the parlor door. Tied to the doorknob,

1275
01:41:03.279 --> 01:41:08.479
he discovers if it's not out in
the stable, seek beneath the kitchen

1276
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:12.760
table. Underneath under the kitchen table, he finds another note which reads,

1277
01:41:13.159 --> 01:41:16.800
if your quest remains uncertain, you
will find it near a curtain. And

1278
01:41:16.920 --> 01:41:24.479
here his quest is rewarded by finding
the prize. Okay, that's like just

1279
01:41:24.800 --> 01:41:32.119
very simple. Yeah, okay,
I'll skip. I'll skip apple seeds because

1280
01:41:32.159 --> 01:41:41.319
it's about finding your love. Oh, here's one for you. I don't

1281
01:41:41.319 --> 01:41:45.479
know if it's about love or not, but it's called pulling kale. You

1282
01:41:45.600 --> 01:41:50.039
like kale? I mean, I'm
not saying you live for kale. I'm

1283
01:41:50.039 --> 01:41:57.039
just saying you like kale, I
mean less than other leafy greens, but

1284
01:41:57.520 --> 01:42:02.680
sure pulling care All are blindfolded and
go out singly or hand in hand to

1285
01:42:02.800 --> 01:42:08.119
garden, groping about. They pull
up first stalks of kale or head of

1286
01:42:08.159 --> 01:42:12.600
cabbage. If stalk comes up easily, the sweetheart will be easy to win.

1287
01:42:12.680 --> 01:42:15.800
Sorry, I tried. If the
reverse hard to win, the shape

1288
01:42:15.800 --> 01:42:19.039
of the stump will hint at the
figure of the prospective wife or husband.

1289
01:42:19.880 --> 01:42:26.399
I get a big old fat one. Its length will suggest age if much

1290
01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:30.840
soil clings to it. Life partner
will be rich if not poor. Finally,

1291
01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:35.359
the stump is carried home and hung
over over door. First person outside

1292
01:42:35.399 --> 01:42:40.079
of family who passes under it will
bear a name whose initial is the same

1293
01:42:40.439 --> 01:42:45.840
as that of their sweetheart. Okay, complicated, Yeah, some of these

1294
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:54.600
are extremely complicated, and I'm skipping
them. Uh, I'm like skimming these

1295
01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:56.640
and I'm like, oh, first
to be wetted, first, to be

1296
01:42:56.680 --> 01:43:00.600
wetted, first to be wetted.
All are not this one. This is

1297
01:43:00.600 --> 01:43:08.439
called true lover test. Kids met
No, I'm trying legit, trying to

1298
01:43:08.439 --> 01:43:12.960
find you when that's not just about
getting married. It's okay, I understand.

1299
01:43:15.279 --> 01:43:18.560
Uh my god, they almost all
are. Yeah, yeah, because

1300
01:43:18.560 --> 01:43:26.000
that's all the people care about,
especially in the nineteen tens. Oh here's

1301
01:43:26.039 --> 01:43:30.399
one. Oh it's just bobbing for
apples, but they called it ducking for

1302
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:35.399
apples. Oh gross, gross?
You never bobbed for apples? No?

1303
01:43:35.760 --> 01:43:41.680
Gross? Why not? Why you
hate apples? They're delicious. My germs

1304
01:43:41.760 --> 01:43:45.920
in the water with other people's germs. You just want your germs for yourself.

1305
01:43:46.399 --> 01:43:50.880
Yeah, I don't want to share
my germs. You're very greedy.

1306
01:43:51.399 --> 01:44:00.000
Oh, let's see candy and apple. Yeah. At one end of a

1307
01:44:00.039 --> 01:44:04.079
stick eighteen inches long, fasten an
apple. At the other end a short

1308
01:44:04.079 --> 01:44:08.600
piece of lighted candle. Oh,
it's candle and apple. Man. I

1309
01:44:08.640 --> 01:44:14.800
keep reading candle as candy's Okay,
I might be hungry. Yeah. Suspend

1310
01:44:14.880 --> 01:44:19.239
stick from ceiling by stout cord fastened
in its middle, so that stick will

1311
01:44:19.279 --> 01:44:26.159
balance horizontally while stick revolves. Players
try to catch apple with their teeth.

1312
01:44:26.760 --> 01:44:39.920
A prize may be in center of
apple in the apple. Oh. Combing

1313
01:44:40.039 --> 01:44:45.239
hair before mirror, stand alone before
mirror, and by light of candle,

1314
01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:50.239
comb your hair, face, your
face, the face of your future partner

1315
01:44:50.239 --> 01:44:57.159
will appear in glass peeping over your
shoulder. Marriage. That's good though,

1316
01:44:57.199 --> 01:45:00.399
because then you're you're the person who
likes you can sneak up on you.

1317
01:45:00.800 --> 01:45:09.760
Yeah, yeah, okay. Bowls
which Nope, these are all about finding

1318
01:45:09.800 --> 01:45:13.520
your future husband or wife. I
know that you were talking about like them

1319
01:45:13.680 --> 01:45:17.359
doing like crazy like seances and stuff, but I'm pretty sure everything was just

1320
01:45:17.399 --> 01:45:23.319
about finding yours. But it was
it was conjuring. It was supposedly like

1321
01:45:23.399 --> 01:45:31.039
asking the other world, like who's
my husband going to Yeah, yeah,

1322
01:45:31.439 --> 01:45:39.840
uh oh, here's one. It's
called dry bread. Dreams mean much on

1323
01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:45.800
Halloween, but certain ceremonies must be
carefully followed in order to ensure the spell.

1324
01:45:47.119 --> 01:45:50.920
Before going to sleep for the night, have someone bring a small piece

1325
01:45:50.920 --> 01:45:56.960
of dry bread. No word can
be spoken after this. Silence must prevail.

1326
01:45:57.720 --> 01:46:02.239
Eat bread slowly, at same time
making a wish and thinking the pleasantest

1327
01:46:02.439 --> 01:46:08.600
thing possible. I wish I could
get married. Then drop off to sleep,

1328
01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:11.560
and your dreams will be sweet and
peaceful, and your wish will come

1329
01:46:11.600 --> 01:46:16.319
true if the charm works for marriage. Yeah, yes, but that's what

1330
01:46:16.680 --> 01:46:23.800
that's what they're hoping for. Is
still ooh, This one's a little complicated.

1331
01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:30.039
Honestly, I think it might be
confusing because of the language it says.

1332
01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:36.479
One of the most popular games at
a party is Consequences m It's called

1333
01:46:36.520 --> 01:46:41.840
Consequences. It is a very old
favorite, but has lost none of its

1334
01:46:41.960 --> 01:46:45.760
charm with age. The players sit
in a circle. Each person is provided

1335
01:46:45.800 --> 01:46:49.399
with a half sheet of notepaper and
a pencil and is asked to write on

1336
01:46:49.439 --> 01:46:56.720
the top one or more adjectives,
then fold the paper over so that what

1337
01:46:56.840 --> 01:47:00.079
has been written cannot be seen.
Every player has to pass his or her

1338
01:47:00.119 --> 01:47:04.319
paper on to the right hand neighbor, and all have then to write on

1339
01:47:04.359 --> 01:47:08.560
the top of the paper which has
been passed by the left hand neighbor,

1340
01:47:09.439 --> 01:47:14.760
the name of the gentleman. After
having done this paper must be again folded

1341
01:47:15.039 --> 01:47:18.079
and passed on. Before this time
must be written three one or more adjectives,

1342
01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:24.319
then a lady's name, next five
where they met, next six,

1343
01:47:24.600 --> 01:47:27.640
what he gave her, next seven, what he said to her, next

1344
01:47:27.680 --> 01:47:30.119
eight, what she said to him, next nine, the consequence, and

1345
01:47:30.239 --> 01:47:35.359
lastly ten what the world said about
it. Oh, so it's like it's

1346
01:47:35.399 --> 01:47:42.920
like mad libs. Yeah, yeah, be careful that every time anything has

1347
01:47:42.920 --> 01:47:45.760
been written, the paper is folded
down and passed on to the player on

1348
01:47:45.800 --> 01:47:49.079
your right. Yeah, you don't
want to mess it up. When everyone

1349
01:47:49.119 --> 01:47:53.840
has written what the world says,
the papers are collected, and one of

1350
01:47:53.880 --> 01:47:58.119
the company proceeds to read out the
various papers, and the results may be

1351
01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:04.319
somewhat like this. The horrifying and
delightful mister Brown met the charming Miss Phillips

1352
01:48:04.560 --> 01:48:09.279
in the Westminster Abbey. He gave
her a flower and said to her,

1353
01:48:09.319 --> 01:48:13.199
how's your mother? She said to
him, not for Joseph, and the

1354
01:48:13.319 --> 01:48:17.560
consequence was they danced the hornpipe and
the world said, just what we expected.

1355
01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:34.840
That's fun to be married. Now
let's see acting rhymes. Ooh,

1356
01:48:34.920 --> 01:48:39.640
this one sounds fun. Okay.
For this game, half the players go

1357
01:48:39.760 --> 01:48:44.479
outside the door, whilst those who
stay in the room choose a word of

1358
01:48:44.560 --> 01:48:49.520
one syllable which should not be too
difficult. For instance, suppose the word

1359
01:48:49.600 --> 01:48:54.880
chosen be flat. Those who are
out of the room are informed that a

1360
01:48:54.920 --> 01:49:00.720
word has been chosen or has been
thought of that rhymes with cat, and

1361
01:49:00.800 --> 01:49:04.039
they then have to act without speaking
all of the words they can think of

1362
01:49:04.159 --> 01:49:10.760
that rhyme with cat. Okay,
that's fun. Suppose their first idea be

1363
01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:14.800
bat. They come into the room
and play an imaginary game of cricket.

1364
01:49:15.319 --> 01:49:20.560
I wasn't thinking that bad, Yeah
me neither. This is not being correct.

1365
01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:26.199
They would be hissed for their pains, and they must then hurry outside

1366
01:49:26.279 --> 01:49:30.399
again. They might next try rat, most of them going into the room

1367
01:49:30.439 --> 01:49:34.439
on their hands and feet, whilst
the others might pretend to be frightened.

1368
01:49:35.079 --> 01:49:40.439
Again, they would be hissed.
At the last, the boys go in

1369
01:49:40.520 --> 01:49:44.279
and fall flat on their faces,
while the girls pretend to use flat irons

1370
01:49:44.399 --> 01:49:48.239
upon their backs. The loud clapping
that follows tells them that they are right

1371
01:49:48.319 --> 01:49:54.479
at last. They then change places
with the audience, who in turn become

1372
01:49:54.560 --> 01:49:59.159
the actors. That one's pretty fun. It's like it's like charades. Yeah,

1373
01:50:00.760 --> 01:50:03.000
es, yeah, I actually like
that one a lot. That's kind

1374
01:50:03.000 --> 01:50:06.000
of cool. It's interesting that you
do it in like groups, so it's

1375
01:50:06.039 --> 01:50:12.119
like, yeah, group charade thing. I might remember that next year when

1376
01:50:12.199 --> 01:50:16.960
when I finally bring back my Halloween
party, which has been I haven't done

1377
01:50:16.960 --> 01:50:21.520
since twenty nineteen. I wanted to
blame it on the pandemic, but it's

1378
01:50:21.520 --> 01:50:25.199
not the pandemic. I just I
just stopped doing it for a while.

1379
01:50:25.720 --> 01:50:27.920
I want to do that game.
That'd be really fun with like a group

1380
01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:30.640
of like eight or nine people.
Yeah, half of them go out and

1381
01:50:30.680 --> 01:50:34.800
then we pick a word. It'd
be fun. I like the mad Lips

1382
01:50:34.840 --> 01:50:39.079
thing too. I would do these
people. Yeah, that is fun.

1383
01:50:41.439 --> 01:50:45.319
Let's see. Oh, that one's
easy. Alphabet game. Cut alphabet from

1384
01:50:45.359 --> 01:50:49.479
a newspaper and sprinkle on surface of
water, letting letters, floating spell or

1385
01:50:49.560 --> 01:50:55.199
suggest the name of future husband or
of course, ooh, this one sounds

1386
01:50:55.199 --> 01:51:02.800
scary. Ooh you ready. I
guess this one's called shadow buff A splendid

1387
01:51:02.840 --> 01:51:08.479
game, and one specially suitable for
a large party. A sheet of white

1388
01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:13.760
or of a sheet or white tablecloth
is first of all, stretched right across

1389
01:51:13.800 --> 01:51:16.520
the room, and on a table
behind it is placed a bright lamp.

1390
01:51:17.319 --> 01:51:20.319
All the other lights in the room
are then extinguished, and one of the

1391
01:51:20.359 --> 01:51:26.399
players takes a seat upon a low
stool midway between the lamp and the sheet.

1392
01:51:27.399 --> 01:51:31.640
The other players endeavor to disguise themselves
as much as possible by distorting their

1393
01:51:31.680 --> 01:51:36.439
features, rumpling their hair, wearing
wigs, false noses, etc. And

1394
01:51:36.600 --> 01:51:42.800
pass one by one behind the player
seated on the stool. Their shadows are

1395
01:51:42.840 --> 01:51:46.319
thus thrown upon the sheet. The
aim of the seated player is to guess

1396
01:51:46.359 --> 01:51:50.960
the identity of the shadows as they
pass before him, and the aim of

1397
01:51:51.039 --> 01:51:56.079
the others is to endeavor by every
means in their power to keep him from

1398
01:51:56.119 --> 01:52:00.239
recognizing them as they As may be
imagined, the task of the single player

1399
01:52:00.319 --> 01:52:04.239
is not an easy one, and
the distorted shadows being vastly different from the

1400
01:52:04.279 --> 01:52:10.239
originals as seen before the lights were
extinguished. I like that one because like

1401
01:52:10.279 --> 01:52:12.359
saying, like you put on a
fake nose. You wouldn't just like put

1402
01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:14.520
on a costume. You would like
stand in front of the light and like

1403
01:52:14.560 --> 01:52:19.439
try to show your You'd like try
to show your your profile and stuff like

1404
01:52:19.479 --> 01:52:23.319
that. You would try to show
like I'm tall, you know, just

1405
01:52:23.359 --> 01:52:26.560
you would try to like mislead them. Yeah, but with shadows, that

1406
01:52:26.640 --> 01:52:30.319
one sounds fun. Oh and the
person you guess right is your wife.

1407
01:52:30.640 --> 01:52:35.159
Oh Okay, it doesn't say that, but it could. Yeah, because

1408
01:52:35.159 --> 01:52:42.640
you know their shadow the best,
so you obviously have a thing for them.

1409
01:52:43.159 --> 01:52:47.960
Let's see, this is fine.
I love these this kind of stuff.

1410
01:52:48.439 --> 01:52:54.800
This is just an entire this is
just an entire book of these.

1411
01:52:55.159 --> 01:52:57.760
Wow. And the book is free, by the way. You can you

1412
01:52:57.760 --> 01:53:00.520
can down I mean, it's it's
public domain. I actually out the kindle

1413
01:53:00.560 --> 01:53:02.199
book completely free on Amazon. I
thought I was gonna have to pay at

1414
01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:09.920
least a couple of dollars, but
it was free. Cool. Let's see,

1415
01:53:10.520 --> 01:53:15.680
Oh, Fortune Telling. I wonder, I wonder if it's about marriage.

1416
01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:20.359
Yeah, it's about marriage. It's
mar Oh, here's one loves dispensary,

1417
01:53:20.520 --> 01:53:29.399
damn it. Web of Fate that's
about marriage. Partners, it's about

1418
01:53:29.399 --> 01:53:35.520
marriage. I'm trying to find some
blind nut seekers. That's just hilarious.

1419
01:53:36.319 --> 01:53:41.479
Let several guests be blindfolded, then
hide nuts or apples in various parts of

1420
01:53:41.560 --> 01:53:46.600
room or house. One finding most
nuts or apples wins prize. Okay ooh,

1421
01:53:47.199 --> 01:53:53.760
to try one's luck in a dish
of I love this. Oh,

1422
01:53:53.840 --> 01:53:57.920
it's it's very simple. Oh,
this one doesn't have to be about marriage.

1423
01:53:58.359 --> 01:54:00.439
In a dish of mashed potatoes,
place a ring, a dime,

1424
01:54:00.800 --> 01:54:04.079
and a thimble. Oh okay,
no, it is about married. Each

1425
01:54:04.159 --> 01:54:08.800
guest is provided with a spoon with
which to eat the potatoes. This is

1426
01:54:08.840 --> 01:54:15.720
the I love this so much.
I don't want things in my food too

1427
01:54:15.760 --> 01:54:19.720
bad. Whoever gets the ring is
to be married within a year. The

1428
01:54:19.760 --> 01:54:26.880
thimble signifies single blessedness, while the
dime prophecies riches or a legacy. Some

1429
01:54:27.119 --> 01:54:30.359
canny lassies have been known to get
the ring into one of their first,

1430
01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:34.560
very first spoonfuls, and have kept
it for fun in their mouths, tucked

1431
01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:40.159
snugly beneath the tongue until the dish
was emptied. Such a lass was believed

1432
01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:44.479
to possess the rare accomplishment of being
able to hold her tongue, but nevertheless

1433
01:54:44.800 --> 01:54:50.760
tricky. Okay, yeah, oh
man, oh, we're getting into weird

1434
01:54:50.760 --> 01:54:54.039
ones now because we'retten the ones where
like, I don't even know that word.

1435
01:54:54.520 --> 01:55:01.359
Oh, this one says cinever.
It's see why an ive er sniver

1436
01:55:01.840 --> 01:55:08.399
snever each girl and boy seeks an
even leaved sprig of ash. First of

1437
01:55:08.439 --> 01:55:13.479
either sex that finds one calls out
cinever and is answered by the first of

1438
01:55:13.520 --> 01:55:16.479
the opposite sex that succeeds, and
these two, if omen fails not,

1439
01:55:16.760 --> 01:55:21.600
will be joined in wedlock. That's
so weird. Why what's weird about that?

1440
01:55:21.800 --> 01:55:26.159
I don't know. I guess it's
pretty normal. Ooh, you'll like

1441
01:55:26.199 --> 01:55:30.199
this one place. This is called
jumping lighted candle. Place a lighted candle

1442
01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:33.800
in the middle of the floor,
not too securely placed. Each one jumps

1443
01:55:33.840 --> 01:55:39.880
over it. Whoever succeeds in clearing
candle is guaranteed a happy year free of

1444
01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:44.479
trouble or anxiety. He who knocks
candle over will have twelve months of woe

1445
01:55:44.880 --> 01:55:48.319
and also set the floor on fire. So I think back then carpets were

1446
01:55:48.479 --> 01:55:53.239
very rare. Yeah, but that
doesn't mean that the floor couldn't be made

1447
01:55:53.239 --> 01:55:58.319
of something flammable like wood. Have
you ever tried to set a wood floor

1448
01:55:58.359 --> 01:56:00.800
on fire. It's not easy.
I mean I don't normally try to set

1449
01:56:00.800 --> 01:56:10.720
them on fire. Now, okay, just checking jeez, let's see.

1450
01:56:11.239 --> 01:56:14.960
Wow, these are weird. Oh
well, you know what, I think

1451
01:56:15.239 --> 01:56:17.000
I'm gonna call it on the games
because they are hard to describe sometimes.

1452
01:56:17.439 --> 01:56:24.439
But we have riddles, oh Halloween
riddles that will be checking out right after

1453
01:56:24.479 --> 01:56:35.479
this quick break we're back And shall
I have to ask you something? What?

1454
01:56:36.119 --> 01:56:42.640
How good are you at riddles?
I'm like, really bad at riddles?

1455
01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:46.039
Excellent? Very good. Do you
remember you used to watch Are You

1456
01:56:46.039 --> 01:56:49.079
Afraid of the Dark? Right?
Uh? Huh? Do you remember the

1457
01:56:49.119 --> 01:56:54.399
riddle? No? There was a
riddle that like it would save the kids'

1458
01:56:54.439 --> 01:56:56.960
lives, but it was like the
hardest riddle doctor vinc had come up with.

1459
01:56:57.479 --> 01:57:02.880
Yeah, I do remember that happening. The riddle was what what is

1460
01:57:03.199 --> 01:57:10.600
uh? What is a scentless sightless? Or what is a scentless? Can

1461
01:57:10.600 --> 01:57:13.640
be seen by the naked eye?
And if you put it in a barrel

1462
01:57:13.680 --> 01:57:25.399
it makes the barrel lighter. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, you're

1463
01:57:25.399 --> 01:57:27.800
one of those people like grumbles that
when you hear the answer to riddle,

1464
01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:31.119
Yeah, yeah, well, good
news. We have a bunch of riddles

1465
01:57:31.159 --> 01:57:38.560
from back in the day. So
are you ready to go? All right?

1466
01:57:39.920 --> 01:57:45.920
Why are weary people like carriage wheels
because they're they're round, You're close

1467
01:57:46.640 --> 01:57:54.880
because they go around because they're tired. Oh oh, okay, fine.

1468
01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:59.880
I don't think of tires as me
neither, but apparently they did. Okay

1469
01:58:00.159 --> 01:58:03.880
fine. An old woman in a
red cloak was passing a field in which

1470
01:58:03.880 --> 01:58:13.840
a goat was feeding. What strange
transformation transformation suddenly took place? I don't

1471
01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:19.359
know. The goat turned to butter
or butter, and the woman into a

1472
01:58:19.399 --> 01:58:26.760
scarlet runner. I barely get that. Why does a duck go into the

1473
01:58:26.800 --> 01:58:35.399
water because that's what they do for
diver reasons. This is the best time

1474
01:58:35.439 --> 01:58:44.319
of my entire life. Spell blind
pig in two letters? I don't know

1475
01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:54.239
PG A pig without an eye?
Oh okay, all right, fine.

1476
01:58:54.920 --> 01:59:03.039
Which bird can lift the heaviest weights? A strong bird? The crane?

1477
01:59:04.039 --> 01:59:10.159
Oh okay. This is like sheer
torment for Michelle, and I am here

1478
01:59:10.199 --> 01:59:15.079
for it. Don't worry. They
get weird and vaguely offensive. Why is

1479
01:59:15.119 --> 01:59:23.039
a wise man like a pin because
it's sharp? He has a head and

1480
01:59:23.079 --> 01:59:30.720
comes to a point. Oh mine
better, here's one. Why is a

1481
01:59:30.840 --> 01:59:38.760
jew in a fever like a diamond? Seriously? I don't know, because

1482
01:59:38.760 --> 01:59:44.279
he is a jew ill jewel jewill. I got it, I got it.

1483
01:59:44.840 --> 01:59:46.279
You know, it's funny. That's
like an offensive joke that's actually not

1484
01:59:46.479 --> 01:59:53.319
really hurtful. Yeah, it's just
a fun orect. Is that really there?

1485
01:59:53.439 --> 01:59:56.359
That's what I right before we started
recording, Oh my god, And

1486
01:59:56.359 --> 01:59:58.520
then I started like that was what
I read. I was like, oh,

1487
01:59:58.600 --> 02:00:08.840
okay, why may carpenters reasonably believe
there is no such thing as stone?

1488
02:00:09.199 --> 02:00:15.640
I don't know, because they never
saw it. Okay, you like

1489
02:00:15.720 --> 02:00:19.520
that one, didn't you? That
was a pretty good one. What is

1490
02:00:19.560 --> 02:00:26.199
that which is put on the table
and cut but never eaten? What napkins

1491
02:00:27.600 --> 02:00:31.199
close? You're kind of close a
pack of cards. Oh, it's not

1492
02:00:31.319 --> 02:00:40.720
close at all. I was trying
to Shinda. You know, it's everybody

1493
02:00:40.720 --> 02:00:44.079
else's fault. They've been listening to
us for over a year now, you

1494
02:00:44.159 --> 02:00:48.560
and I doing the show. It's
their own fault. Why does a sculpt

1495
02:00:49.119 --> 02:00:54.760
why does a sculptor die horribly?
I don't know, but I guess the

1496
02:00:54.800 --> 02:00:58.399
thing just falls on him and then
he dies, Like that really happened?

1497
02:00:58.600 --> 02:01:09.680
So because he makes faces and busts. I wish everyone could see your face.

1498
02:01:11.319 --> 02:01:17.439
It is so good. When does
a farmer double up a sheep without

1499
02:01:17.479 --> 02:01:27.479
hurting it? I don't even know
what that means. It says when he

1500
02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:31.840
folds it. I think that that's
completely lost. Yeah. Uh. What

1501
02:01:32.000 --> 02:01:36.600
lives upon its own substance and dies
when it has devoured itself? Ooh,

1502
02:01:36.600 --> 02:01:42.680
that's a good one. Lives upon
its own substance and dies when it's devoured

1503
02:01:42.720 --> 02:01:47.840
itself. Think about it? This
one you could actually get that. I

1504
02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:50.079
told you I was bad at them
though, I know, but I'm just

1505
02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:53.720
saying, like, this one isn't
like a skibbity ska, you know,

1506
02:01:53.800 --> 02:02:00.239
or something thing we've never heard of
the day? I don't know a candle?

1507
02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:15.159
Oh? Why is the dog biting
his tail? A good manager because

1508
02:02:15.199 --> 02:02:21.479
he makes both ends meet? Oh? What thing is it that is lower

1509
02:02:21.520 --> 02:02:28.720
with a head than without one?
It's lower with a head than it is

1510
02:02:28.760 --> 02:02:32.680
without one. Yeah, I mean, I got it, but I don't

1511
02:02:32.840 --> 02:02:41.000
know. Like, make a guess. Corn corn? What does that mean?

1512
02:02:41.039 --> 02:02:43.199
What is the head of corn?
A head of corn? What are

1513
02:02:43.199 --> 02:02:50.720
you talking about? A pillow?
Oh, okay, fine. Which is

1514
02:02:51.079 --> 02:02:58.000
which is the left side of a
plum pudding? The right one? It's

1515
02:02:58.039 --> 02:03:05.720
the side that is not eaten,
the left side. Oh, this is

1516
02:03:05.760 --> 02:03:11.039
the best part of my life.
Oh my god. I love riddles and

1517
02:03:11.079 --> 02:03:14.359
I love dad jokes and stuff.
My brain like doesn't work like that.

1518
02:03:14.600 --> 02:03:23.760
It just goes like those are just
some words things. Why is it certain

1519
02:03:23.800 --> 02:03:28.880
that Uncle Tom's Cabin was not written
by hand of its reputed author? Becuz

1520
02:03:30.039 --> 02:03:36.840
because because it was written by missus
beecher Stowe or tow that one? Yeah?

1521
02:03:36.880 --> 02:03:43.159
That wow? That was that was
current? If all the seas were

1522
02:03:43.239 --> 02:03:51.039
dried up, what would everybody say, did there's no more seas close?

1523
02:03:51.319 --> 02:04:00.199
We haven't a notion or an ocean
like the right? Why is why as

1524
02:04:00.239 --> 02:04:06.520
a fishmonger never generous? This one
you could get. You could totally get

1525
02:04:06.520 --> 02:04:15.760
this one fishmonger person who who markets
fish? Yeah, but why is he

1526
02:04:15.840 --> 02:04:28.880
never generous? Generous? Keeps off? Do you give up because his business

1527
02:04:28.880 --> 02:04:47.359
makes him sellfish? Oh? Are
you crying? What is that which works

1528
02:04:47.399 --> 02:04:55.840
when it plays? And plays when
it works? I don't get this one?

1529
02:04:56.439 --> 02:05:06.720
A uh uh are those things called
it's a fountain? Oh? I

1530
02:05:06.760 --> 02:05:11.279
don't understand that at all. I
don't get that one at all. What

1531
02:05:11.479 --> 02:05:15.000
is that from which you may take
away the hole, and yet there will

1532
02:05:15.039 --> 02:05:19.199
always there will be some remaining you
take, you take away the hole,

1533
02:05:19.439 --> 02:05:27.239
yet there will be some remaining.
You totally have tears in your eyes.

1534
02:05:29.520 --> 02:05:42.000
I like you pie. No,
the word wholesome remaining? Why are fowls

1535
02:05:42.079 --> 02:05:51.760
the most economical things a farmer can
keep? Say? Because for every grain

1536
02:05:51.880 --> 02:06:01.000
they give a peck? Okay?
Uh? Why is it dangerous to walk

1537
02:06:01.039 --> 02:06:10.000
in the meadows in springtime because there's
bees? Because the trees are shooting and

1538
02:06:10.039 --> 02:06:16.159
the bull rush is out? Bull
rush, bullrush, blue rush. Why

1539
02:06:16.319 --> 02:06:33.800
is a vine like a soldier?
They both? I don't know, because

1540
02:06:34.880 --> 02:06:42.640
because it is listed and has ten
drills and shoots? What it has ten

1541
02:06:42.720 --> 02:06:47.000
drills or tendrills? Okay? Okay? Why is an opera singer like a

1542
02:06:47.079 --> 02:07:00.439
confectioner DeVos hard do a job because
she deals in ice screams? Hi screams,

1543
02:07:00.479 --> 02:07:04.119
ice creams. No. If a
man who is carrying a dozen glass

1544
02:07:04.199 --> 02:07:12.800
lamps drops one, what does he
become a man carrying one less than a

1545
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:20.159
dozen? Whatever the hell? That
was a lamplighter? Okay? Fine?

1546
02:07:20.680 --> 02:07:27.000
What belongs to yourself but is used
more by your friends than yourself. This

1547
02:07:27.039 --> 02:07:29.239
one's a legit one. This isn't
like a trick. I mean it is

1548
02:07:29.279 --> 02:07:31.680
a trick question, But that's for
real. What belongs to yourself but is

1549
02:07:31.760 --> 02:07:39.600
used more by your friends than by
yourself? Everyone has it? That's your

1550
02:07:39.680 --> 02:07:46.800
hint nose? How how do your
friends use your nose? Shell? I

1551
02:07:46.800 --> 02:08:05.079
don't know your name. Oh that's
a good one. True. Uh.

1552
02:08:05.159 --> 02:08:09.840
Why is the letter K like a
pig's tail because it's drawn like that,

1553
02:08:11.960 --> 02:08:16.359
because it comes at the end of
fork? Oh? Why? What is

1554
02:08:16.399 --> 02:08:24.840
the keynote to good manner? Is
manners? The keynote to good manners E

1555
02:08:26.279 --> 02:08:31.479
close b natural? Oh? Hat
cha chah? What? Why is a

1556
02:08:31.520 --> 02:08:35.600
five pound banknote much more profitable than
five sovereigns? Oh? You've got to

1557
02:08:35.600 --> 02:08:39.439
know that one. I don't even
know what. I don't I don't even

1558
02:08:39.439 --> 02:08:41.399
get the joke. I don't even
get that. We're gonna move on.

1559
02:08:43.920 --> 02:08:54.000
Why is a watch like a river
because it has a because it has a

1560
02:08:54.319 --> 02:09:03.560
luthium ion battery, dur because it
does doesn't run long without winding? Ok?

1561
02:09:03.199 --> 02:09:09.079
Fine, What is that which flies
which flies high, flies low?

1562
02:09:09.159 --> 02:09:26.000
Has no feet? And yet wears
shoes. Plane what dust? Yeah,

1563
02:09:26.079 --> 02:09:28.800
yeah, it flies high, flies
low, has no feet, and yet

1564
02:09:28.800 --> 02:09:39.119
wears shoes. It wears shoes,
It sticks to shoes. Oh what trees?

1565
02:09:39.840 --> 02:09:52.119
Trees? What trees? Has fire
no effect upon weeping willows? Why

1566
02:09:52.159 --> 02:09:58.920
would it be weeping willows? Ash
trees? Because when they are burned,

1567
02:09:58.960 --> 02:10:03.479
their ashes still. Okay, you're
gonna be okay, you're gonna make it.

1568
02:10:05.199 --> 02:10:11.840
Yeah, I'm okay. What is
the difference between a school master and

1569
02:10:11.880 --> 02:10:22.239
an engine driver? Day? One
minds the train and the other trains the

1570
02:10:22.319 --> 02:10:31.199
mind. A man had twenty six
cheap and one died. How many were

1571
02:10:31.239 --> 02:10:39.039
left? I don't know. Nineteen
The joke is twenty six instead of twenty

1572
02:10:39.079 --> 02:10:46.319
six. Oh what is that which
everybody has seen but will never see again?

1573
02:10:46.760 --> 02:10:50.600
Ooh, this one's good. What
is that which everybody has seen but

1574
02:10:50.680 --> 02:10:58.159
will never see again? Their?
You saw your birth probably like I saw

1575
02:10:58.079 --> 02:11:07.560
I had eyes yesterday. Now what
made you mad? Jeez? Oh?

1576
02:11:07.600 --> 02:11:11.960
Oh, here's oh God. Which
is the best day for making a pancake?

1577
02:11:16.199 --> 02:11:24.079
Friday? You're right, I know
like, you're right, It's Friday.

1578
02:11:24.159 --> 02:11:28.319
I'm so proud of you. Which
is the smallest bridge in the world.

1579
02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:37.079
Oh you're like this. I don't
know any bridge names the bridge of

1580
02:11:37.119 --> 02:11:43.720
your nose, It was not that
small. What four letters would frighten a

1581
02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:48.159
thief? Oh? This one's cute. What four letters would frighten a thief?

1582
02:11:52.359 --> 02:11:56.520
I don't know. Oh I see
you? Oh I got I see

1583
02:11:56.560 --> 02:12:01.079
you. But I couldn't think of
another one. So what is that which

1584
02:12:01.119 --> 02:12:09.880
goes from London to York without moving
boat the road? Oh? It doesn't

1585
02:12:09.920 --> 02:12:13.720
move? Sure? Which is easier
to spell fiddledy d or fiddledy dumb?

1586
02:12:15.840 --> 02:12:20.479
They're both the same hardness, fiddle
d d because it's spelt with more ease,

1587
02:12:22.159 --> 02:12:31.640
ease ease. When may a chair
be said to dislike you? Probably

1588
02:12:31.680 --> 02:12:41.119
when you when it breaks close,
when it can't bear you? Oh?

1589
02:12:41.159 --> 02:12:46.760
Which of the English kings has most
reason to complain of his washerwoman? I

1590
02:12:46.800 --> 02:12:52.079
don't know any of them. This
one's a really like heavy history history joke,

1591
02:12:54.479 --> 02:12:58.520
King John when he lost his baggage
in the wash. Oh that's funny.

1592
02:13:01.119 --> 02:13:09.640
Uh. Why is bee like a
hot fire? Because it mm hmm

1593
02:13:11.239 --> 02:13:22.920
it's gott ke because it makes oil
boil? Oh? B oh, okay,

1594
02:13:24.920 --> 02:13:31.840
okay, I'm gonna do one more
for you. Let's see which is

1595
02:13:31.880 --> 02:13:35.680
the liveliest city in the world.
Wait, I don't get that one.

1596
02:13:35.720 --> 02:13:46.680
Don't do that one. Don't guess
that. Oh gosh, what is bookkeeping?

1597
02:13:48.640 --> 02:13:54.720
So it's when you, you know, when you keep notes on your

1598
02:13:54.720 --> 02:14:01.079
finances and that kind of stuff.
Uh, it's forgetting to return borrowed volumes

1599
02:14:01.000 --> 02:14:07.800
bookkeeping. I think mine was right. Oh you'll like this. Why is

1600
02:14:07.880 --> 02:14:20.600
scooping out a turn up a noisy
process? Just scream because it makes the

1601
02:14:20.800 --> 02:14:28.119
holler okay, hollow holler. All
right, well we're gonna take Okay,

1602
02:14:28.319 --> 02:14:31.159
that's about enough of that. Oh
my gosh, I was not ready for

1603
02:14:31.199 --> 02:14:35.600
that. We're gonna take a quick
break, and then we're gonna wrap things

1604
02:14:35.680 --> 02:14:50.520
up with this very special Mischief Night
Monthly Spooky right after this. All right,

1605
02:14:50.560 --> 02:14:54.640
we are back and wrapping up this
Mischief Night episode of Monthly Spooky after

1606
02:14:54.680 --> 02:15:01.840
I fully broke Michelle Yea with nineteen
fourteen Halloween riddles, which almost none of

1607
02:15:01.880 --> 02:15:03.439
them had anything to do with Halloween, by the way, Yeah, I

1608
02:15:03.479 --> 02:15:07.600
think, yeah, I guess they
were just it did mention at the beginning

1609
02:15:07.640 --> 02:15:11.840
that like this was a collection because
they're so hard to memorize, so many

1610
02:15:13.079 --> 02:15:20.119
so but yeah, we basically broke
you. I think that was that was

1611
02:15:20.159 --> 02:15:24.279
like the end of your mental well
being. I'm really embarrassed this happens now.

1612
02:15:24.680 --> 02:15:30.840
Okay, So before we get out
of here, I wanted to mention

1613
02:15:31.119 --> 02:15:35.479
I have been watching two shows this
Halloween season that I've really enjoyed that I

1614
02:15:35.479 --> 02:15:43.640
would recommend people listening to this get
into even after Halloween. The first one

1615
02:15:43.439 --> 02:15:48.199
is Goosebumps, which you and I
have both been watching on Hulu. Yeah,

1616
02:15:48.239 --> 02:15:54.479
and it's really good. They took
Goosebumps and made it into a teen

1617
02:15:54.520 --> 02:15:58.399
show, so it is a teenager
show, it's not a little kid show.

1618
02:15:58.159 --> 02:16:03.479
And instead out of it being an
anthology, they're having each episode be

1619
02:16:03.560 --> 02:16:07.960
based on one of the books that
becomes the like the b story the subplot

1620
02:16:09.000 --> 02:16:13.239
for that episode, So there's an
arc. But then each episode is like

1621
02:16:13.239 --> 02:16:16.920
one's Cuckoo Clocks, you know,
I forget the ones go eat Worms,

1622
02:16:16.960 --> 02:16:20.920
and one's The Haunted Mask. And
I've got to say I was nervous.

1623
02:16:20.960 --> 02:16:26.119
I thought I wasn't going to like
it very much, but I'm really into

1624
02:16:26.119 --> 02:16:30.359
it. I'm really enjoying it.
Yeah, are you caught up? I'm

1625
02:16:30.359 --> 02:16:33.159
one behind? Okay, Like,
as of the one that released, correct,

1626
02:16:33.360 --> 02:16:35.520
Okay, yeah, and then me
too. That's where I am as

1627
02:16:35.559 --> 02:16:41.319
well. But we should both thank
my mom because she's the one who was

1628
02:16:41.399 --> 02:16:45.840
like, I watched two episodes and
it was really good and you need to

1629
02:16:45.840 --> 02:16:48.760
watch it, And now she doesn't
have Hulu, so she's all sad.

1630
02:16:48.000 --> 02:16:52.000
That's sad. Yeah, Well,
I've been enjoying it a lot, so

1631
02:16:52.159 --> 02:16:54.760
and you and I know you have
been too. So it's definitely been like

1632
02:16:56.200 --> 02:16:58.959
a I haven't a lot of time
to watch a ton of the spooky stuff

1633
02:16:58.959 --> 02:17:01.639
I like to watch, but that
is definitely a massive check in the box

1634
02:17:01.680 --> 02:17:07.239
of like this is Halloween fun stuff. Yeah, really enjoyed it. And

1635
02:17:07.319 --> 02:17:09.959
the other thing I've been watching I'm
halfway through right now is Fall of the

1636
02:17:11.000 --> 02:17:16.000
House of Usher on Netflix. It
is freaking good, good, and it's

1637
02:17:16.040 --> 02:17:20.399
actually, oddly enough, kind of
similar to Goosebumps in that it's about the

1638
02:17:20.399 --> 02:17:26.959
fall of the House of Usher,
but every episode uses a post story to

1639
02:17:26.239 --> 02:17:31.840
kind of wrap up the subplot of
that episode. Okay, cool. So,

1640
02:17:31.959 --> 02:17:35.600
like there's an episode that's the Mask
of the Red Death and it's about

1641
02:17:35.600 --> 02:17:39.559
a member of the Usher family throwing
this big soare which doesn't go well If

1642
02:17:39.600 --> 02:17:41.159
you've read Mask for the Red Death, you know it goes very badly.

1643
02:17:43.719 --> 02:17:46.520
It's really good. I'm halfway through
it. I think I'm gonna finish it

1644
02:17:46.559 --> 02:17:50.120
on Halloween Night. That sounds good. Yeah, I'm really I'm really amped

1645
02:17:50.120 --> 02:17:54.040
about it. So that's been my
big Halloween watch. Also awesome turn of

1646
02:17:54.079 --> 02:17:58.399
events. The movie American Nightmare,
one of my all time favorite Halloween movies,

1647
02:17:58.680 --> 02:18:03.440
is fine finally available on two be
Good to watch for free. It's

1648
02:18:03.440 --> 02:18:05.520
also on Blu Ray. I bought
the Blu Ray. But I've been watching

1649
02:18:05.520 --> 02:18:07.040
that movie since I was like a
little kid. I think it came out

1650
02:18:07.079 --> 02:18:11.879
O two and since I was a
teenager, and I'm so happy it's out.

1651
02:18:11.879 --> 02:18:13.639
So I just want to mention it. If you're listening to this and

1652
02:18:13.680 --> 02:18:18.120
you're like, what could I watch? I would put on American Nightmare and

1653
02:18:18.360 --> 02:18:22.040
give that a spin. Have you
watched anything other than Goosebumps that's kind of

1654
02:18:22.040 --> 02:18:28.079
giving you the Halloween feelies? Not
not really, but I am reading something

1655
02:18:28.239 --> 02:18:31.559
if that's okay, And by reading
I mean a comic. Oh, it

1656
02:18:31.680 --> 02:18:35.319
was okay until it turned out to
be a County No, what what what

1657
02:18:35.360 --> 02:18:37.200
are you reading? I'm reading a
comic. Well, I just caught up

1658
02:18:37.239 --> 02:18:41.239
with it. But it's a it's
a web comic called Everything is Fine,

1659
02:18:41.959 --> 02:18:46.920
and it is really upsetting. It's
not necessarily like halloweeny, but it is

1660
02:18:46.959 --> 02:18:52.520
definitely kind of a thriller. It
starts out with just a bunch of people

1661
02:18:52.920 --> 02:18:56.440
living in the suburbs and everything is
okay, except they all are wearing like

1662
02:18:56.639 --> 02:19:03.079
big like mascot heads, but they
all they're all like cat heads all the

1663
02:19:03.159 --> 02:19:07.120
time, and they all like it's
all the same cat head, just in

1664
02:19:07.159 --> 02:19:09.959
different colors, but just going through
their life as if everything is okay,

1665
02:19:11.920 --> 02:19:18.000
but everything's clearly not okay, and
like clearly they have to like be really

1666
02:19:18.079 --> 02:19:22.399
cheerful and stuff, and like things
are weird and maybe the dog is dead,

1667
02:19:22.600 --> 02:19:26.639
but they keep feeding it like it's
really really good. So I just

1668
02:19:26.680 --> 02:19:31.319
caught up because it's just it just
started season three of the comic last week,

1669
02:19:31.840 --> 02:19:37.479
and like I've been having dreams about
it, like it's been it's like

1670
02:19:37.559 --> 02:19:39.760
super super good. I won't even
say any more than that, but like

1671
02:19:39.920 --> 02:19:45.360
it's really upsetting, Like the whole
thing is really upsetting. So and what

1672
02:19:45.399 --> 02:19:48.040
was it called and where can you
find it again? It's called Everything is

1673
02:19:48.159 --> 02:19:52.680
fine, and it is. I
think it's exclusive to web tune because it's

1674
02:19:52.680 --> 02:19:56.680
it's one of those like original ones. It's not on canvas, so it's

1675
02:19:56.760 --> 02:20:01.440
like weekly. It updates weekly,
basically nice. Yes, Well, I

1676
02:20:01.479 --> 02:20:05.000
have been listening to an audiobook which
I hope to finish by Halloween. Nearly

1677
02:20:05.040 --> 02:20:09.520
through it, I'm listening to it's
called I had to pull it up because

1678
02:20:09.559 --> 02:20:11.879
I couldn't remember the name of the
book. It's called The Halloween Store and

1679
02:20:11.959 --> 02:20:18.000
Other Tales of All Hallow z Eve
by Ronald Kelly, and it's about a

1680
02:20:18.399 --> 02:20:20.639
like two and a half three hour
audiobook, and it's a bunch of really

1681
02:20:20.680 --> 02:20:26.879
creepy stories about Halloween time. And
some of them are fun and lighthearted.

1682
02:20:26.959 --> 02:20:31.479
Some of them are incredibly dark,
and I'm really enjoying it. The narrator

1683
02:20:31.520 --> 02:20:35.600
has like this really great, like
down home country voice that I find really

1684
02:20:35.760 --> 02:20:39.200
appealing good, So I've been enjoying
it a lot. I've been listening to

1685
02:20:39.200 --> 02:20:43.399
when I like bow the lawn or
do lawn stuff mostly or go on a

1686
02:20:43.440 --> 02:20:48.040
car ride. I also really enjoyed
detail that's tales the Are You Afraid of

1687
02:20:48.079 --> 02:20:52.600
the Dark podcast? The Audible exclusive
Are You Afraid Of the Dark Podcast.

1688
02:20:52.639 --> 02:20:56.440
I listened to all seven episodes.
They're like fourteen minutes each, really fun,

1689
02:20:56.920 --> 02:21:03.000
goofy, but a little bit scared. I really enjoyed those two cool.

1690
02:21:03.920 --> 02:21:09.840
Yeah. Fine, yeah, So
before we get out of here,

1691
02:21:09.920 --> 02:21:11.520
is there anything from Reddit you wanted
to share with us today? I mean,

1692
02:21:11.559 --> 02:21:16.000
if you want me to. I
I didn't ask for my health.

1693
02:21:16.639 --> 02:21:22.239
Oh hold on, let me see
if I can find Oh no, okay,

1694
02:21:22.280 --> 02:21:24.360
so here's one. I'll just give
you one. And it's not like

1695
02:21:24.639 --> 02:21:30.360
that's scary, but it is a
little weird. Oh I lost you.

1696
02:21:31.040 --> 02:21:35.600
That's okay. Still, I'm always
there in spirit. Thanks. So anyway,

1697
02:21:37.000 --> 02:21:39.600
this is from just the glitch in
the matrix page. There were some

1698
02:21:39.760 --> 02:21:43.319
like ask Reddit had a couple of
like, what are some scary stories?

1699
02:21:43.319 --> 02:21:48.639
But none of them were that scary. So there was you know, there's

1700
02:21:48.639 --> 02:21:54.360
a woman with her five year old
child son. I assume they're like in

1701
02:21:54.399 --> 02:21:58.559
a parking lot, in like a
grocery store parking lot, and the kid

1702
02:21:58.719 --> 02:22:01.319
like looks down and he sees like
a key on the ground, like a

1703
02:22:01.360 --> 02:22:03.840
houseki or whatever, and he's like, Oh, that's grandma's key. That's

1704
02:22:03.840 --> 02:22:07.520
the key to grandma's house. And
she's like not really paying attention. He's

1705
02:22:07.600 --> 02:22:11.000
like, okay, sure whatever,
Sure it is, and he like picks

1706
02:22:11.000 --> 02:22:13.319
it up and takes it. And
they just did. And they probably should

1707
02:22:13.319 --> 02:22:16.760
have like turned it into the supermarket
so that person could get back in their

1708
02:22:16.760 --> 02:22:20.719
house, but they didn't, so
so like a bunch of days later or

1709
02:22:20.760 --> 02:22:24.559
whatever. So the kid still has
the key and they go over to the

1710
02:22:24.600 --> 02:22:28.680
grandma's house and he's like oh,
and he's like, this is the key.

1711
02:22:28.840 --> 02:22:31.319
And then I was finally like okay, I mean you can try it

1712
02:22:31.319 --> 02:22:35.959
if you want. And it works. Oh yeah, and they have no

1713
02:22:37.079 --> 02:22:39.799
idea, like she's not missing a
key, her her mother isn't missing a

1714
02:22:39.840 --> 02:22:45.760
key. But the kid knew it
was the right key, and it's the

1715
02:22:45.840 --> 02:22:50.000
right key. Yeah that's really weird. Huh. I like that one.

1716
02:22:50.479 --> 02:22:54.079
I'm glad that you're always trolling Reddit
to make sure if anything weird or creepy

1717
02:22:54.120 --> 02:22:56.959
happens you know about it. Yeah. I try, really, and we'll

1718
02:22:58.000 --> 02:23:00.760
pretend it's for the show, but
in reality, it's just who you are

1719
02:23:00.760 --> 02:23:07.200
as a person. Yeah. Well, and last of all, what do

1720
02:23:07.319 --> 02:23:13.319
you be in for Halloween? No? You're being no? Yeah nice,

1721
02:23:13.719 --> 02:23:18.159
I'm being a creepy pumpkin man.
Cool. I'm gonna make my face up

1722
02:23:18.239 --> 02:23:22.440
like a jack a lantern. And
I bought like a like a scarecrow suit,

1723
02:23:22.440 --> 02:23:26.399
like a scarecrow robe thing, okay, and I'm gonna wear that and

1724
02:23:28.159 --> 02:23:31.040
do my face up all wild,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna put my hair

1725
02:23:31.079 --> 02:23:33.959
on a ponytail on top of my
head and color all my hair green.

1726
02:23:33.239 --> 02:23:37.719
Yeah, color all my beard,
my beard and stuff green too. Cool.

1727
02:23:37.079 --> 02:23:41.079
Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
I'm gonna scare the heck out of

1728
02:23:41.079 --> 02:23:43.319
those little kids. Yeah, they're
gonna have to earn that candy. I

1729
02:23:43.360 --> 02:23:46.360
bought so much candy this year.
I'm gonna be throwing handfuls at kids.

1730
02:23:46.719 --> 02:23:50.680
That's good. I didn't because I'm
really poor and I couldn't afford it.

1731
02:23:50.840 --> 02:23:54.719
So did you not buy any candy? No? I did. I just

1732
02:23:54.760 --> 02:23:58.799
have to be very careful about how
much candy I give to people. I'm

1733
02:23:58.840 --> 02:24:03.799
gonna buy you some Halloween cand No, what was that voice? No?

1734
02:24:05.000 --> 02:24:09.079
Well, well, regardless, cell
I hope you have a wonderful Halloween,

1735
02:24:11.079 --> 02:24:16.120
and thank you so much for spending
an afternoon out of your month every month

1736
02:24:16.280 --> 02:24:20.639
pretending it's still Halloween. With me. I really do appreciate it. Of

1737
02:24:20.719 --> 02:24:26.200
course it's fun, right, we
like to have fun here, yeah,

1738
02:24:26.239 --> 02:24:31.399
at Monthly Spooky. So and I
want to say a heartfelt thank you before

1739
02:24:31.399 --> 02:24:37.040
we get out of here to everybody
who kind of stood up for me during

1740
02:24:37.040 --> 02:24:41.920
this whole weird cyberbullying thing that was
going on where some guy was paying people

1741
02:24:41.959 --> 02:24:48.399
to harass me and attack the Weekly
Spooky brand on Apple Podcasts. I just

1742
02:24:48.479 --> 02:24:50.559
want to say a huge if you've
listened to this episode this far in,

1743
02:24:52.079 --> 02:24:56.000
you deserve a thank you because you're
clearly a big enough fan that you probably

1744
02:24:56.040 --> 02:25:00.799
helped out during that whole mess.
It was very difficult away for the month

1745
02:25:00.879 --> 02:25:05.280
to start, and I really appreciate
all of the help. And I really

1746
02:25:05.319 --> 02:25:09.360
just appreciate everybody who listens every week
and who's been. I've been shocked how

1747
02:25:09.399 --> 02:25:16.280
many people have actually listened, like
every day. I thought that most people

1748
02:25:16.319 --> 02:25:18.920
would kind of fall off and then
come back and then fall off, But

1749
02:25:18.959 --> 02:25:20.479
I've had people write in and say
they're listening every day even when the shows

1750
02:25:20.520 --> 02:25:24.399
are four hours long. Wow.
So I just want to say huge thank

1751
02:25:24.479 --> 02:25:30.760
you. This has been the most
successful month and Weekly Spooky history in every

1752
02:25:31.200 --> 02:25:35.159
imaginable way. I'm so happy that
I took on this massive undertaking, and

1753
02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:37.959
I want to say an extra special
thank you to you, Michelle, because

1754
02:25:37.959 --> 02:25:41.760
you wrote a story and even narrated
it for me, which literally gave me

1755
02:25:43.040 --> 02:25:46.879
one of the only afternoons off I've
ever had this month. I'm sorry,

1756
02:25:48.159 --> 02:25:52.520
Wow, Okay, that's hurtful.
Well, we're gonna get out of here,

1757
02:25:52.520 --> 02:25:54.680
Michelle, But first I want to
say an extra special thank you to

1758
02:25:54.719 --> 02:25:58.639
our Patreon podcast boosters. These are
folks who pay just a little bit more

1759
02:25:58.680 --> 02:26:01.280
to hear their names at the end
