00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.919
One simple tip to know if your home is haunted,

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.480
strange Halloween costumes meant to terrify, and also titting. A

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.759
woman collects haunted dolls and it doesn't go the way

4
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.199
you'd think, and Halloween myths that turn out to be true.

5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:25.440
Get contact true for life. It's monthly spooky.

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.519
Hello, my spookies, and welcomed back. Not only is it

7
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.320
that time of the month, but it is the last

8
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:44.520
Monday before Halloween. And I consider this a very exciting

9
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.079
time because this year Halloween is on a Thursday, which

10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.119
means you kind of get like a bonus hallowek. Yeah almost.

11
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.039
It would only be better if Halloween was on Friday.

12
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.439
I guess.

13
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.200
I'm your host, Enrique kut here with my good buddy

14
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.280
and co host Michelle Michelle, how are you?

15
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.400
I don't know. I guess I'm fine.

16
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.120
Well, that's all I can really ask for, yes, and

17
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.159
that you talk while I press my cough button so

18
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.319
no one can hear. Just how tired my voices from

19
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.359
doing thirty one shows in thirty one days. Oh man.

20
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.359
Last night I was recording the show that's actually gonna

21
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:28.120
air after this On Tuesday, I was recording that the

22
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:32.239
review of Satan's Little Helper, and my voice was like crackling.

23
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.120
It was just like it was just like breaking up

24
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.879
a little bit, and I was like, oh man, I

25
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.920
really need a break. And I tried really hard to

26
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.920
spread the work out and get ahead a lot, but

27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.519
it was still just a lot of recording.

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.120
Yeah you, I mean, you do good though for the

29
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.480
amount that you do. My voice was like crackling on

30
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.439
one episode and that was the only thing I recorded.

31
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.239
So, well, that's the charm of your voice, though my voice,

32
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.359
the whole charm is it's got to be silky or

33
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.319
get away from me. We hate you. Oh yeah, that's

34
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:08.879
how they are.

35
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:09.759
Yeah, I guess.

36
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.960
So you caught me using throat spray. I just remembered

37
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.080
I had that right there. I was like, you know,

38
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.400
that actually helps quite a bit. I've discovered throat coat

39
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.120
tea helps a ton and people will be like, duh,

40
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.000
that's what it's for. I had never touched it before.

41
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.120
I thought that it was just hype. I figured, all

42
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.520
tea helps your throat, right, which is relatively true.

43
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.439
So sure, I don't know, I mean warm helps your throat.

44
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.360
Maybe I don't know.

45
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.439
Yeah, I mean warm definitely helps. I so then I

46
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.639
discovered that there are hauls cough drops. I forget the

47
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:48.960
name of them now, but there are ones that are

48
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.240
completely unmedicated. They're just like pectin and like two or

49
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.879
three other ingredients, you know, nothing, nothing that could irritate

50
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.439
your throat, and vocal people just swear by them because

51
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.039
you can suck on them all day long and they

52
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.800
keep your throat lubricated. Okay, So but mostly I look

53
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.879
forward to, as much as I've loved giving everybody something

54
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.080
cool to listen to every day, this month, I'm really

55
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.159
looking forward to going back to only maybe well if

56
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.560
you count, do even movie four times, oh my god,

57
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.120
four times a week instead of seven. Hey, it's still

58
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.280
less than seven.

59
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.479
Right, it's almost half less, but not exactly.

60
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.960
I mean we're getting there, man, Yeah, we're getting there.

61
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.240
So and you know, since my ADHD, since I've been

62
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.280
medicated for ADHD, it's just amazing the amount of work

63
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.439
I can get done in a reasonable amount of time.

64
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.080
I Mean, before I did struggle a lot to sit

65
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.960
down and just do my narrations and get them done

66
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.800
right away, and to stack them was also really hard.

67
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.680
So now it's just like I could sit down and

68
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.960
pound them all day. That's why my voice starts failing.

69
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.000
It's like, yeah, I'm I'm I'm able to go and

70
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.240
go and go. So yeah. So but it's been it's

71
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.120
been quite in October. We've had an incredible amount of

72
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.400
listenership boost. Many people who are listening to this may

73
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.920
have never heard Monthly Spooky before. So this is our

74
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.279
kind of end of the month roundup show where we

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.000
hang out and we talk about spooky news stories, creepy

76
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.639
topics and just kind of have a little bit of fun.

77
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.800
It's a cool way to end the month. I enjoy it.

78
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:35.600
Michelle tolerates it, and that's that's what really matters. Yeah,

79
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.879
I'm glad that you're enthused as usual.

80
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:39.600
You're welcome.

81
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.720
Could you could you whisper even quieter? I just don't

82
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.120
want the audience to hear you at all. Okay, oh god,

83
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.079
now it's a SMR.

84
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.319
No, I don't want to do that.

85
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.360
No, there, there are there, you are, there you are.

86
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.199
I don't want don't like that.

87
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.639
So, due to the Halloween season being pretty snug on

88
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.720
my end, I have just in the last five days

89
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.959
started getting Halloween decorations up around the house, so which

90
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.160
I'm happy about though, because I have lots of lights,

91
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.279
and and I'm a big light person. I like putting

92
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.319
up spot lights and flood lights and string lights and

93
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.920
projector lights. That's my jam. What have you done to

94
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:22.399
your place?

95
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.399
I just I put up like normal decorations that I

96
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.360
put up, like pumpkins, and I like it.

97
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.360
How you say it with like like as if we

98
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:36.800
all know you're like just what I.

99
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.759
Normally put the normal stuff, like a reek and some

100
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.240
little pumpkin wood thing that I made, and like a

101
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.439
cat thing that I made one time.

102
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.879
Well that's I mean. I like that.

103
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.240
Oh, and I put all the ghosts in my tree,

104
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.199
my weed tree that I grew.

105
00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.879
You did a good job growing that.

106
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.120
It's messing up my driveway, Yeah, that's what they do.

107
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.759
But I love it and I want it there, So

108
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:07.399
it's okay.

109
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.279
Is it that you can't take it down without feeling

110
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.360
like a hypocrite for giving me hell for taking down

111
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:13.279
all my weed trees?

112
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.720
No? Actually it is that I let it grow because

113
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.920
they cut down all the trees. So I was like, well,

114
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.120
I guess we're having this one. Then this weed can

115
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:22.920
just live here.

116
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.759
So I'm in the midst of preparing to talk with

117
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.879
the owners of the house next to me, and I'm

118
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.000
going to politely offer to split the cost to remove

119
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.360
this giant tree between our two homes. That is about

120
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.240
two thirds to three fourths on their property. Mm hm,

121
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.600
But it is in my property. And the tree limbs

122
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.240
fall near my house all the time, limbs and leaves

123
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.199
and stuff. That's why I'm terrified of it, because I

124
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.000
live in Ohio and we get high winds sometimes and

125
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.040
I do not like having a tree that big. Also,

126
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.480
we just get freaking flooded with leaves. Like I like

127
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.680
fall leaves, but we I mean, like the side of

128
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.959
my house. It piles up so bad. When I was

129
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.160
a kid, I actually thought, and that was when the

130
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.120
tree wasn't even that big. When I was a kid,

131
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.839
When I was a teenager and I lived in this house,

132
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.839
I thought that my mom intentionally put all the leaves

133
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.040
on the side of the house for some reason, and

134
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.480
she was gonna do something with them later or something.

135
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.959
But no, they just all end up there. That's just

136
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:27.800
what happens.

137
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:34.120
So are you so you have all these free leaves? Yeah,

138
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.560
and you don't break them into a pile and jump

139
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.800
in them.

140
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.319
Well, I think I'll hurt myself.

141
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.319
I don't know. I think it'll be fine. You like

142
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.160
fall and stuff, jump into leaves.

143
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.240
Yeah, yeah. And what I do do with these leaves

144
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.319
is I pull them away from the house back into

145
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.759
the yard and then I mulch them with my lawnmower.

146
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.399
First you jump in them.

147
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.680
First things First, jump in those gd leaves.

148
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.879
Yeah, do it. I'm serious.

149
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.519
I know you're serious. I need to get rid of

150
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.920
this tree in the worst way possible. So I'm going

151
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.839
to friendly write them and be like, I would love

152
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.399
to split the cost. You know. I think that that

153
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.639
because I think that it's a liability for them, So

154
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.160
I think they'd have to be pretty stupid not to

155
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.439
be like, oh sweet, we can get half the cost

156
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.159
covered to get rid of this tree. Because they're going

157
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.200
to have to get rid of it someday. And if

158
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.360
we have a big windstorm and a big branch falls

159
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.200
and hits my house, I'm going to try to sue.

160
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.879
Them, and I don't think you can.

161
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.039
Ah, you might be surprised.

162
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.440
I don't know what tree law is like in Ohio,

163
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.679
but it might. If it hit overhangs your property, you

164
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.279
might just be responsible for it.

165
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.080
It's possible the problem is that it's so close to me,

166
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.919
and the only advice I've gotten if then, and this

167
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.000
is ridiculous, if the neighbors refuse the people who own

168
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.679
the house, because my neighbors are actually super nice, but

169
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.879
they rent the people who own the house. If they

170
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.200
refuse to cut the tree down, I am allowed to

171
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:14.559
cut down the portion of the tree in my property right,

172
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.080
which would kill the tree.

173
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.639
Yeah, if you kill the tree, I think you may

174
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.759
get in serious trouble and then be responsible for the

175
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.600
cost of a whole new tree.

176
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:27.879
That's possible.

177
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.240
I know a little bit about tree law from Reddit.

178
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.840
So well, this advice was given by a landscaper. Okay,

179
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:40.080
so they could be wrong, but wrong. Well, My point though,

180
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.720
is killing the tree is dangerous because it's it's obscenely tall.

181
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.320
It's way too big to be this close to houses. Yeah,

182
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.440
way too big.

183
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.679
Do you know how much a tree costs though to replace?

184
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.879
You're never going to be able to afford it, So

185
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.399
don't kill the tree.

186
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.000
My point is the tree needs to go so as much,

187
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.399
which is I like having a tree. It's really really big,

188
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.120
really tall, and it did just recently drop a giant

189
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:12.279
branch and scared the hell out of me. So not cool.

190
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.399
I understand. I totally disagree with this on all.

191
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.919
You think I should just let the tree be gigantic

192
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.720
right next to my house? Yes, why?

193
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:23.879
Because it would be fun.

194
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.360
You can.

195
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.200
You can like get a like arborius to come and

196
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.879
like maintain it so it doesn't lose all its bad

197
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.039
branches all over the place, and then it'll be safe.

198
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.320
Can the arborists do a dance that makes it so

199
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.320
we never have tornadoes or high winds?

200
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.480
I mean, I guess right.

201
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.120
Also, the can only it can only care for the

202
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.480
part of the tree that's over my property. Okay, so

203
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.759
mostly just branches.

204
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.159
I mean you could you could instead of removing the tree,

205
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.240
you could say, hey, landlord, neighbor, have somebody come and

206
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.960
properly maintain this tree. Do you want to pay for

207
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.080
the cost of it with me?

208
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.399
Why would they pay for that but not remove the

209
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.000
tree because it'd be way cheaper not I have pretty

210
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.679
high high standards for arborists. Okay, fine, yeah, I would

211
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.639
never hire a cut rate arborist. Okay, I didn't mean

212
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.879
to make that joke, but it was perfection. Well, regardless

213
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.480
of all this tree talk, I think we should probably

214
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.080
focus on things being spooky. But we're gonna take a

215
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.600
quick break and when we get back, we're gonna dive

216
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:50.279
headfirst into the spooky news. Right after this, we are

217
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:58.759
back and we have some spooky news, the spooky news.

218
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:04.639
So Michelle, we're gonna head to mirror dot co dot UK.

219
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:11.559
Yay, the land of the poorly written thanks.

220
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.080
The poorly written British stories about the paranormal.

221
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.240
Yeah.

222
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.159
Yeah, that's what they should call it. It should be

223
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.759
I don't know what the acronym would be for that,

224
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.559
but that's what the acronym should be.

225
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.440
It would be hard. I'm not gonna I.

226
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:31.000
Well, Michelle, have you ever wondered if your home is haunted?

227
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:31.600
Yes?

228
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.600
Well this article can help you with that. Oh it

229
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.840
says exclusive, I'm a professional ghost hunter. There's one telltale

230
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.360
sign your house is haunted?

231
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.960
Whoa one? And I'm gonna know for real?

232
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:54.679
That's what it says. Wow, So I figure we should

233
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.399
probably dive in because this is prudent information in October.

234
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.480
Yeah, I guess like you need to know.

235
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.240
Am I gonna need to waste money on even more decorations?

236
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.679
Or do I already have a ghost? Am I one

237
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.679
of the lucky ones.

238
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.360
Yeah.

239
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:17.039
Most Haunted star Yvette Fielding is Britain's go to ghost hunter,

240
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.639
and since launching the hit show, she's learned a thing

241
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:25.799
or two about spotting spooks. That is a sentence that

242
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.519
is fine in England and in most of America, but

243
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:36.840
maybe not ideal. From peculiar noises to items being moved

244
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.679
around the house at night, there are many signs that

245
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.200
your house could be haunted. In fact, new research is

246
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.440
found that a quarter twenty six percent of Brits have

247
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:52.480
either either thought or are currently convinced they're living in

248
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:53.399
a haunted house.

249
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.440
Okay, that's pretty good.

250
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.120
Well, I mean BRIT's live in like old house and

251
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.399
old apartments, so like I feel like it's guaranteed people

252
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.000
have died in your where you're living, Like they have

253
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.159
to have like like if anything, it would be weird

254
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.840
if they hadn't, it'd be like this place is so cursed.

255
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.320
No one ever dies here. They're too afraid to stay oooo.

256
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.519
But aside from the obvious signs, Yvette, who is currently

257
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.720
working with video doorbell company Ring in a quest to

258
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.120
find Britain's most haunted house, revealed to the Mirror that

259
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.120
is weird. I have a ring? Do you? You don't

260
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.000
have a ring, do you?

261
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.799
No? I do not have a ring, I know, and

262
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.759
then they're gonna come and they're gonna break in.

263
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.120
That's I didn't say you don't have a doorbell camera.

264
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:44.279
I said you don't have a ring.

265
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.919
Oh well, I just told everyone.

266
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:51.679
Yeah, that's on you. I don't have a doorbell, though

267
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:56.080
I have a floodlight camera. Okay, it killed two birds

268
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.559
because I needed a new floodlight, a new porch light,

269
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.440
so I just put that up.

270
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.600
Yeah, I mean that sucks about the birds, but I understand.

271
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.960
Well, both of those birds were convicted murderers.

272
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.519
But doesn't mean you're allowed to kill them.

273
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.080
M Yeah, you sound just like that attorney and the

274
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:23.000
police and that therapist and that priest. Ring doorbells. In

275
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.679
a questified Britain's most haunted house revealed to The Mirror

276
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.360
that one of the strangest and often overlooked signs of

277
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:34.360
a haunting. Oh no, you're gonna love this as a

278
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:35.919
home inspector, what is it?

279
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.440
What is it is?

280
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.720
Finding random puddles of water on your floor with no

281
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.240
logical explanation.

282
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:54.159
Hmmm, I mean, I mean, okay, so I would, yes,

283
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.759
but really is there no logical explanation.

284
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:58.279
For them.

285
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.279
That I don't know? I mean to me, if I

286
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.399
find puddles of water, I'm immediately checking my plumbing and

287
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.480
my HVAC, Like just.

288
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.440
Immediately, Yeah, I don't have that.

289
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.360
You don't have plumbing or hvac.

290
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:24.080
Nope, no, I no, Like, yeah, I mean I sometimes

291
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.360
I find random puddles of water on my floor. But

292
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.600
I have a cat who doesn't have all of her face,

293
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.600
so it's usually that she had. Yeah, there's just like

294
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:38.440
water from her drinking water on the floor, or for

295
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:43.000
me getting water from the sink on the floor. It's

296
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.039
usually one of those.

297
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.480
Well, if you find a random puddle of water within

298
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.000
seven or eight feet of a sink, I feel like

299
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.200
there's a pretty easy solution in mind.

300
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.000
Yeah, I guess, you know.

301
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.480
But if you found it like in the hallway, like

302
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.080
on the farthest side of your house, away from all

303
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.159
of your fixtures, you'd be like, what the hell?

304
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.119
Yeah.

305
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.519
Of course, when I had dogs, you know, if I

306
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.279
if I found a random puddle, I'd be like, oh great, yeah, yeah,

307
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.279
dog pee. And you know my dogs were healthy, so

308
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.960
their pee didn't you know, you know, it wouldn't smell

309
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.119
until it dried. I'm not trying to be gross, but

310
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.640
like so there were moments where I definitely had to

311
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.720
learn to like kind of like get a whiff from

312
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.720
far away and be like, yeah, that is a you're

313
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.240
in Okay, okay do quote. Sometimes you'll walk into a

314
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.960
room and find water just sitting there in the middle

315
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.599
of the floor. It's an interesting way to put it.

316
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.480
Sitting there. The water's just smoking a pipe reading the paper.

317
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.839
Yeah, in the middle of the floor.

318
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.640
It's not a leak from the ceiling. It's not a spill.

319
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.519
There's no clear reason for it. The water just appears,

320
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.440
and it can happen in the most random spots. I

321
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:58.079
mean there's also condensation. Sometimes water in the air just

322
00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.920
becomes water not in the air.

323
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.759
Yeah, I mean that used to happen in my mom's

324
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.519
last house because they didn't have kind of any sort

325
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.279
of insulation under the floor, so it was just right

326
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:13.359
on the ground. So the floor used to get all lit.

327
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.640
Yeah, that house. I wish that house was haunted. That

328
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.240
house was so much worse than haunted.

329
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.559
Yeah.

330
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.240
Yeah, it felt so bad because I got to see

331
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.359
it once and it's super cute. I see why she

332
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:31.000
loved that house at first, but then as you told

333
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:33.119
me more and more, I was like, get out of there, man,

334
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.480
just get out of there.

335
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:38.400
It's on. It's like third person since she moved out.

336
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:43.640
Now not surprised at all. Yeah, gosh, So if this happens,

337
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.799
don't rush to call the plumber just yet, as it

338
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.680
could be a sign of a ghostly presence in your home.

339
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.640
The other signifiers that the paranormal expert is pinpointed as

340
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:59.920
perhaps showing you are not alone include hearing footsteps, electric

341
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.119
appliances turning on and off, unanswered phone calls.

342
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:07.759
Oh no, when I don't answer my phone calls?

343
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.400
What what unanswered phone calls? Maybe maybe they mean like

344
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.200
the phone ringing and nobody being there.

345
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.160
That's the telemarketers.

346
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.119
Well that's the other thing though, is like if it

347
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.400
was a phone from the olden days where there was

348
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.759
literally a bell inside the phone, I could see a

349
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.240
ghost being able to trigger that manipula. Yeah yeah, yeah,

350
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:33.000
But like is the ghost on T Mobile Verizon?

351
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.359
Yeah, like it says the number or so I'm assuming

352
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.799
that someone is calling me.

353
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.599
Your phone rings and it says singular user and you're like, oh,

354
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:49.480
it's a go I remember singular. I was a Singular

355
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.480
phone user for a while. Huh yeah, they got up

356
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:59.680
by sprint, I think uh oh uh. Unanswered phone calls, tapping,

357
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.559
sound and random voices, you know.

358
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.960
Puddles of water. If you really can't find a place

359
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.079
that it's coming from, and you like live alone and

360
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.680
you don't have an animal, that would be pretty scary.

361
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.359
All the other stuff.

362
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.559
No scary, but not in a oh my god, a

363
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.799
ghost is here away scary and oh my god, how

364
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.799
much money I own a house? This sucks kind of way.

365
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.240
I don't know. Hearing if if you're hearing sounds, that

366
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.039
could be footsteps, Like if you're hearing like footstep patterns,

367
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.200
I don't know what that is. But if you're hearing

368
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.079
like creaking, your house is just doing normal house stuff.

369
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.440
Oh are you tapping?

370
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.480
It's probably your pipes? Sorry guys.

371
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:39.599
So yeah, no, no, I mean that I believe you

372
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:42.160
because like I mean, and then there's also the question

373
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.160
of are you do you share walls in any way

374
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:48.839
or you know, do you have an upstairs neighbor because

375
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.480
a lot of people, especially in England, they tend to

376
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.680
live in townhouses or duplexes. Right right, So and you

377
00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:01.400
live in a duplex, So do what it's technically a Yeah, sorry,

378
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.200
I don't know. I don't know the difference.

379
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.640
Duplex is a is a house that like has more

380
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.759
than one living place in it, like it would have

381
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.200
it would be like two apartments, would be a duplex

382
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.359
in the same house. But technically my house isn't. Actually

383
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.599
it's I mean it's next to the other house. It's

384
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.880
like squished up against it. But they're technically separate houses.

385
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.559
So it would be more similar to like a townhouse.

386
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.880
But we don't call them townhouses. We call them twins.

387
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.960
Ah twins, Okay, fine, twins. I will say duplex is

388
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.400
fun to say, so that's one of the reasons I

389
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.839
lean into it. But yeah, so so for my home,

390
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.720
which is like a ranch style home, there's no upstairs,

391
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.640
I don't share walls. I have a decent amount of

392
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.680
distance between me and my neighbors. Hearing unexpected footsteps would

393
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.920
freak me out, especially because footsteps aren't that loud in

394
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.119
my house. I'm on a concrete slab. Yeah, you know,

395
00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.680
you don't hear footsteps as much, except in like a

396
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.119
few the rooms that don't have carpet. Electrical appliances turning

397
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:05.640
on off. That would freak me out. I've never had

398
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:07.680
that issue that I know of.

399
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.359
Maya, one of my neighbors growing up, her TV would

400
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.960
just turn on and off by itself at night that

401
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.519
we never figured out what was going And they've had

402
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.000
different TVs throughout the years and they just did that.

403
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:26.559
I mean, was there a nice window in the room. Yes,

404
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.359
could have been the neighbor's remote control interfering with her TV.

405
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.680
I mean it was The window does face the backyard,

406
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.119
so and it's got so it's not really within you know,

407
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.400
close shot of someone else's remote control because there's no

408
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.880
window on that side or on the other side, because

409
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.319
those houses didn't have windows on the sides of them.

410
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.160
Because I don't know.

411
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:49.319
I mean, it could have been like the scene in

412
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.400
Grumpy Old Men where Walter Mathow goes to his drawer

413
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.359
and pull because he was a TV repairman, and he

414
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.079
pulls out all the remote controls so he can change

415
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.200
the channel on his son. He could change the channel

416
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.519
on his neighbor's TV while he's watching the lottery. Yeah,

417
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.920
I love that. You've seen Grumpy Old Men, right, I

418
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.440
don't think so. Oh, I know what somebody's getting as

419
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.240
a gift. That way we can talk about it on

420
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:15.720
the phone.

421
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:21.119
Oh oh, but also I've had issues with my radio

422
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:22.480
turning off by itself.

423
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.039
So really but and it.

424
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.359
Took me like five years to figure out what was

425
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:31.079
going on. It just has like a timer on it,

426
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.279
so if it's on for more than seven hours, it

427
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.079
just shuts off.

428
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.720
It's like, that's enough, NPR. You deserve better. We're gonna

429
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:41.759
take a quick break and we'll be back with more

430
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.400
signs that your home may be haunted right after this.

431
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.240
All right, we're back and time to find out more

432
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.119
about whether or not your home is haunted or you

433
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.359
just need a plumber. However, getting rid of ghosts could

434
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:12.440
be easier than you think. Wow, that's something I've never

435
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:14.279
heard that getting rid of ghosts is easy.

436
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.640
Just clean off the water, You're done.

437
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:22.240
Yeah, that's it, Yvette or Yvette advises that the best

438
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.440
way is to simply ask them to leave.

439
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:33.599
Oh, Michelle is extremely upset here the face you just made,

440
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.359
are you like, that's the one thing I don't want

441
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:36.599
to do.

442
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:38.079
That's so mean.

443
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.839
Listen, ghosts, could you leave?

444
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:55.319
I don't want you here anymore? And they just looks

445
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.000
so sad.

446
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:04.880
Yeah, the ghost is just like ooo ooo yeah. Quote

447
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.480
nine out of ten times, if you show respect, they

448
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.319
will leave. She says the best approach is to talk

449
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:16.319
out loud, as opposed to what say something like, please

450
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:19.200
don't scare me or my family. You're frightening us and

451
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.759
I don't like it. If it continues, I'll have to

452
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.240
ask for help to ask you to leave. Please respect

453
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:30.960
our family. Okay, it's like she's asking if she could

454
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.319
speak to the ghosts manager.

455
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.319
Yeah, it would be nicer if she just said, listen,

456
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.759
you know when you put the puddles on the floor, like,

457
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:40.839
I don't know what those are, and it really upsets me.

458
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.240
Could you just not you could do anything else snat.

459
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.599
Puffs, I'd be like, listen, you goddamn commy ghost, respect

460
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:54.200
private property rights or else. Hey, I bought this place

461
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.920
fair and square.

462
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.519
Yeah, but they had it and then they all they

463
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.160
like didn't give it up. They just died.

464
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.799
Well, I guess we'll just have to have a judge

465
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.559
look at the deed.

466
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:08.200
That'd be so interesting.

467
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.519
I ruled in favor of the ghost, damn it now,

468
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:15.960
But let's just please don't scare my family. I like

469
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.359
nine time if you asked nicely, they'll leave and what

470
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.799
go to the abyss? Like what like where to hell?

471
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:26.920
Only Michelle would go straight for hell?

472
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:29.440
Where else?

473
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:29.799
Over the.

474
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.839
Over the years on Most Haunted, which ran from two

475
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.279
thousand and two to twenty nineteen, Man, that's a long run.

476
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:42.400
M H fans have been transfixed as they watched Evett

477
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.599
get locked in a room by a ghost, get physically

478
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.559
assaulted and even temporarily possessed.

479
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:55.799
That's that's like the fucking hate that shit, Like whoa

480
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.359
go on?

481
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:56.880
Go on?

482
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.799
Sorry? Like if I'm watching like a like a ghost,

483
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.720
the temporarily possessed thing is like the stupidest thing, because

484
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.440
anybody can pretend to be temporarily possessed?

485
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.079
Will you do that right now? No? But you just

486
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:12.640
said anybody can.

487
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:15.599
I didn't say anybody is going to I just said

488
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.559
it's possible.

489
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:24.400
Okay, Well let's let's try a thought experiment. Okay, No, yes,

490
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:28.480
you be a ghost and I'll be the person that

491
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:36.400
has the house that you're haunting. Okay, okay, okay, Please

492
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:42.200
don't scare me or my family. You're frightening us and

493
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:43.400
I don't like it.

494
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:48.240
Why what have I even done?

495
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.759
You keep leaving puddles everywhere.

496
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:52.759
I just get really nervous.

497
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.759
Oh that's even grosser. We thought it was water.

498
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:00.200
I mean, it's not like I'm alive, so I don't

499
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:01.319
really know what it is.

500
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:05.759
I'll have to ask for help to ask you to

501
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:09.880
leave if this continues. Please respect our family.

502
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.039
Wait wait, wait, wait, did you you mean that you're

503
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.039
gonna get like a fucking exorcist to come in here?

504
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.319
Is that what you're saying? Are you going to exercise

505
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:18.079
your house.

506
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.200
Only if we had to? I'm not saying we are

507
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.319
going to. I have not spoken to any Listen.

508
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:28.119
That is like a declaration of war. I need you

509
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:34.039
to understand that. Walk that back or we're gonna have problems.

510
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.440
I was simply saying, if you were going to continue

511
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.720
frightening us and not respect my family, I would have

512
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.839
to talk to somebody.

513
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:44.240
Are you getting your information from the internet? Are you

514
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:44.880
really doing that?

515
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:46.480
You don't.

516
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:48.319
You don't come to me and say, like how can

517
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:50.480
work this out? You're straight into like you're straight to

518
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.319
like let's get an exorcist in here?

519
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:52.759
Is that?

520
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.480
What's happening?

521
00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:55.599
What year did you die?

522
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:58.680
I don't know, like two thousand and two.

523
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.319
Well, we use the internet for everything.

524
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:08.200
Now, Well, I don't care. I want you to use

525
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.640
your brain to talk to me, not what someone else

526
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:12.880
tells you on the internet.

527
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.680
Oh shoot, there's an app to get an exorcist. I'm

528
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:19.119
just gonna I'm just gonna call the extra.

529
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:21.240
No, no, I'm gonna wait.

530
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:23.039
Well, not call. All I have to do is type

531
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:24.480
in my where's my debit card?

532
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.279
Okay, no, no, no, I'll be really good.

533
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:31.640
The security number is the worst.

534
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:35.200
Cause Okay, I'm going to destroy your phone now. I'm

535
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:35.839
really sorry, but.

536
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.200
I have to. Well, good luck, it's in an otter

537
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:39.039
box case.

538
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.359
Oh like, I mean, like electrically destroy it.

539
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.759
Oh. I usually you just make it ring, which is

540
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:48.880
I don't even understand how that works.

541
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.599
I just know how to do that, so I can.

542
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.799
I can show you if you want to be nice

543
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:56.839
to me, we can have a nice conversation.

544
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.160
I was trying. I was trying to be nice. Do

545
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.680
you see why people don't assert boundaries with you? It's

546
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.839
because you take everything as an attack on you.

547
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.279
You just don't under listen. I know that I come

548
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.119
off really strong, but I had a really hard life

549
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:16.319
and I just.

550
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.000
And it's over now, isn't that nice?

551
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.759
No? No, now, I'm like real sad because I'm not

552
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.279
alive anymore, and I just want to make everyone miserable

553
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:28.000
because of how miserable everything was for me.

554
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.680
Then you see why I needed to establish boundaries.

555
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.359
Yes, and I know that I come off kind of rough,

556
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.799
but I really just want to be your friend. That's

557
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:42.359
all this has ever been about.

558
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.960
You don't even know me.

559
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:46.599
I know you so well.

560
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:54.480
Oh okay, fourteen minutes we'll have the Exorcist here. This

561
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:58.039
has gone in a direction I'm extremely uncomfortable with. So

562
00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:59.559
I'm gonna we're okay.

563
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.839
I'll just leave on my own. I give up. I'm

564
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.359
gonna go to the neighbor's house. I'll see it when

565
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.759
I see it.

566
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:11.599
Harry has such nice things he does, doesn't he? Yeah?

567
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.039
Yeah?

568
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:16.720
Do you like his little like miniature poodle collection, like

569
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:17.799
the porcelain one.

570
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.000
I mean, I understand that they're well made. I don't

571
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.559
understand the appeal, like literally, but I appreciate their They're beautiful,

572
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:29.519
well appointed, and very well displayed.

573
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:31.680
They are right just not.

574
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:34.200
My thing, but I but I appreciate how nice they are.

575
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:36.960
Yeah, they're really nice. So I'll just get out of

576
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.000
your hair, Okay.

577
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.680
I appreciate that. Thank you for respecting my family.

578
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:44.920
No problem, and if you ever want to talk, I'll

579
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:46.960
be Terry's.

580
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:53.799
Hey, I canceled the How did I cancel the exercise?

581
00:31:54.599 --> 00:32:09.759
Did you briefly possess me and scene? Okay? Anyway, Oh

582
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:12.119
I've been a while since we jumped into a scene

583
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:18.960
that was a solid one. All right, let's see. But

584
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:24.000
the presenter maintains many of her interactions have also been positive,

585
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:27.880
kind of like that one was almost quote. Yes, I

586
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.960
have had some wonderful and thought provoking experiences and messages

587
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.039
from beyond the grave, which tells us what life after

588
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.960
death is like, she mused. I'm not afraid of dying,

589
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.359
She reflects, I can't wait to reunite with my dad

590
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.039
and other family members. We need to stop fearing death.

591
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:49.960
It's a transition to a beautiful place where we'll be

592
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:53.160
with our loved ones again. Or apparently in a house

593
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.599
where somebody just tells you to leave. Yeah, no respect,

594
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:01.799
no respect at all for the ghosts. Yeah, I think

595
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:06.200
this woman is a spectrophobe. Yeah, I'm gonna say it.

596
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:07.839
I'm gonna say it because I mean it.

597
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:09.000
Good.

598
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:11.079
Yeah, stand up for the ghosts.

599
00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:16.640
Yeah, really, I got no more jokes about that. Uh,

600
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:19.599
So we're gonna take a quick break, but when we

601
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.960
get back, Michelle, we're going to talk about some excellent

602
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:38.279
choices for Halloween costumes right after this. So, Michelle, have

603
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:40.759
you decided what you're going to dress as for Halloween

604
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.119
this year?

605
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.079
Yes?

606
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.000
But what is it?

607
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:46.920
What do you I'm not dressing up?

608
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.519
So that's how you just you decided because you decided

609
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:58.839
not to. Yes, yes, cell Cell Cell, I will admit

610
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.920
I have not paid my costume yet, and I'm ashamed

611
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.559
to admit that.

612
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:04.039
Wow.

613
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:06.440
Some years, I don't come up with it till maybe

614
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.400
two or three days before Halloween, before the big day,

615
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:14.400
the big show. Because this year, much like the last

616
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:20.000
five years in my township, Beggars Night has been Halloween Day, right, Yeah,

617
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:23.159
you're like the way it's supposed to be exactly. For

618
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:25.159
those who don't know, Beggars Night is a Midwest thing

619
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:27.639
where they choose a night for trick or treating that

620
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.920
often is not Halloween. But it's pretty much gone in

621
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.000
the wayside in the last ten years. For the most part.

622
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.920
We just trigger treat on Halloween now. But there are holdouts.

623
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.880
Oh I agree, but there are holdouts. There are a

624
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:42.119
few like little townships where they're trigger treating. On the

625
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:48.000
twenty seventh, Sure, I don't know. I don't know. So well,

626
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:51.760
to help us gain a little inspiration for Halloween costumes,

627
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.800
I found this article from Huffington Post twenty nine weird

628
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:04.119
Halloween costumes ranging from topical to TACKI yay. The subheadline says,

629
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.400
there's a sexy costume for everything from ozempic pens to

630
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:13.480
Saracha bottles to Freddy Krueger whoever wrote this story, there's

631
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.960
been a sexy Freddy Krueger costume for over fifteen years.

632
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:19.960
I mean, you'd think so, but that I mean, I

633
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.880
know that that's that's a thing because I because I

634
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:26.159
made a movie ten years ago where I made a

635
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:31.039
joke about sexy Freddy Krueger. Just wanted to point that out.

636
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:36.599
So let's take a look at some some Halloween costumes. Okay,

637
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.880
First up, sexy ozempic pen. Ozempic the weight loss drug

638
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:47.159
that's becoming very popular right now. Want to show off

639
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:49.519
your body while giving a subtle hint about how you

640
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:54.039
achieved your results. This sexy, this sexy version of an

641
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:59.920
ozempic injector called the so snatched costume possible possibly do

642
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.119
a void copywriter trademark infringement tells the whole story without

643
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:15.159
you spelling it out. O seahorse what Yeah, So it's

644
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.559
a guy dressed as a seahorse, but his tail is

645
00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:22.320
coming out of his crotch. Yeah, and all it says

646
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:26.840
is anything catch your eye in this seahorse costume. His

647
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.199
tail looks like a different appendage.

648
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.360
Yes, it does. It doesn't quite make sense.

649
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:34.840
Here's one fancy cat.

650
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:40.360
I don't think that's sexy.

651
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.679
They didn't. They didn't say they were all sexy. It

652
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.480
also said some were topical and some were tacky. God,

653
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.599
you're incorrigible, you're insatiable. Tell you worry us. Fancy cat.

654
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:54.840
This is a cat wearing a white wig and a

655
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:59.840
blue dress, and it says your cat acts already, acts

656
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:04.920
like a diva. So this Marie antoinette costume isn't saying

657
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:08.639
anything that isn't true. However, actually getting Mittens to wear

658
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:10.920
the outfit may present a chore.

659
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:14.480
Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't put Mittens in it.

660
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:18.119
Imagine the terrible irony if you ended up with one

661
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:22.119
of those heinous automatic cat boxes. That's been like decapitating cats,

662
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.280
but the cat was also dressed as Marie Antoinette.

663
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.320
No, and the reason it wasn't in there when the

664
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:30.920
door closes because his wig.

665
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.800
Got stuck, or because it was trying to find cake

666
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.800
to let everybody eat. Yeah, I'm a history buff. You know,

667
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.960
no big deal. So let's move on to the next one.

668
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:48.639
Zombie Little Red Riding Hood. Okay, the quote says, Grandma,

669
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:53.440
what big brains you have is what you'll be thinking

670
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:56.360
when you dress up as zombie Little Red Riding Hood.

671
00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:59.800
What do you think about zombie Little Red Riding Hood.

672
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:04.519
I mean, it's definitely two things that they put together.

673
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.159
I mean it's basically a red riding hood costume that's

674
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:12.280
been tattered and covered in fake blood. Yeah, so, I

675
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:17.159
mean that's not bad. This one, I love eighties workout dog.

676
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.119
It is a one of those dog costumes that makes

677
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:24.400
their front paws legs and gives them arms and he's

678
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:29.280
holding two dumbbells and he has a bandana and like

679
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:33.639
the kind of like nineties eighties, nineties pastel bright colors

680
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:35.039
workout clothing.

681
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.920
Yeah, yeah, I really would say that that's very early nineties.

682
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.480
Yeah I would too. I've always said the eighties didn't

683
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:46.000
really fully end until ninety two, maybe even ninety three.

684
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.719
You know, really, the eighties never died. It just turned

685
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:56.079
into this doggy workout costume. Thats the laziest comment this guy.

686
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.360
I mean, I guess I shouldn't talk smack. I'm using

687
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:03.119
this to make more content, but whatever. Oh okay, I

688
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:10.440
think I found my Halloween costume. Yeah, Burger King chicken fries. Yay,

689
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:15.599
it's just a person dressed as Burger King chicken fries.

690
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:17.480
Then he looks really happy.

691
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:20.639
Well, I mean, well, you've never had chicken fries.

692
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:21.559
No, I haven't.

693
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.480
I like them. They're pretty good. They're basically just long,

694
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:30.320
skinny chicken nuggets, which is why I call them nugget noodles. Yay,

695
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.000
I mean, bye, I call them that. I mean, I

696
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:38.840
just made that up right now. But damn, you're hard.

697
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:42.199
You're a hard audience. The quote says, what do you

698
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.039
want to dress up for for Halloween? Not sure, but

699
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:46.840
whatever it is, I want to pay money to help

700
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:50.079
some huge corporation move products. Well, you could dress up

701
00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:52.880
as Burger King chicken fries. And then the final quote says,

702
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.800
I feel seen.

703
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:56.360
I can't like that one that.

704
00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:03.440
One's really funny. Okay, Corona and lime. So this is

705
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:07.320
just a sexy Corona bottle with a lime wedge on

706
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:08.320
top of your head.

707
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:10.840
Yeah, it's not even really a bottle. It's just a

708
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:12.320
dress that says Corona.

709
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:18.400
It says Corona extra servesa mas fina, Savesia modelo Mexico,

710
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.760
so exactly. Some people say you are what you eat,

711
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.000
but for anyone who wears this Corona beer dress, it's

712
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:30.280
clearly what you drink. I had to do the wacky

713
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:36.719
whack voice. Yeah it was important. Oh my, okay. Couple idea.

714
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:43.159
This is a couple's costume. Electric car and charger. A

715
00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:46.679
couple's costumes mark an important stage in any relationship. This

716
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:50.360
electric car and charger couple costume tells the world that

717
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:54.760
you care equally about sustainable energy and mild sexual innuendo.

718
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:58.800
That's pretty good. I mean it's literally the guy's got

719
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.320
a plug in his hand and the girl has a

720
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.480
car around her waist basically.

721
00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:05.760
And it looks like the front of the car has

722
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:07.440
like a flip up thing for.

723
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:16.880
Oh yeah, dear, yeah, that's spicy. Oh a guinea pig costume.

724
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:20.119
That's something I don't think I've ever seen before. Guinea

725
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:24.519
pig mermaid. Yes, she's a guinea pig for three hundred

726
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:27.320
and sixty four days a year, not counting leap years.

727
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:31.960
But tonight let her be a mermaid. Yep, it's just

728
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:38.800
a guinea pig dressed as a fish. Basically garden clogs.

729
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:45.480
Oh okay. Yeah. One of the greatest American pastimes in

730
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:50.880
Halloween is the costumes that don't violate a certain copyright laws,

731
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.400
and this is definitely one of them. I think couple's

732
00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:58.559
costumes are a croc not when you dress up with

733
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:02.320
your sweetie as a pair of crocs. But they're not crocs,

734
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:05.320
they're garden clogs. Yeah. It's just a man and a

735
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:06.960
woman dressed as a red pair of crocs.

736
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.280
Yeah.

737
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:12.519
I kind of want it. I should just be crocs.

738
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:14.199
I should just be crocs for Halloween.

739
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.320
Yeah, beat both of them somehow.

740
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:18.559
I mean I'm already wearing crocs.

741
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.760
Yeah.

742
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:24.480
Hot sauce, hottie. This is a woman dressed as a

743
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:29.280
bottle of saracha sauce. Except it's just like it's just

744
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.119
a siracha dress with a green cap hat. Mm hm,

745
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:34.920
shell are you a serata person?

746
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:36.360
Yeah?

747
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:40.800
You keep it on hand. Yeah, did you struggle during

748
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:41.480
the shortage.

749
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:44.440
No, I didn't because I don't use very much. So

750
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.039
I was like, oh and then when I needed more serrachia,

751
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:50.559
there was serrachia again.

752
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.360
So yay, you did it.

753
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:54.239
I did it.

754
00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:56.199
You beat the you beat the system.

755
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.400
I did it, am I just not using very much.

756
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:06.320
Story of your life, uh, cell rations everything, it's fair.

757
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:10.800
It's a problem. Oh oh, it's a spice up your

758
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:12.960
Halloween experience by dressing up as a bottle of sarata.

759
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:20.039
Great job. Oh, here we go. Sexy Grimace from McDonald's.

760
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.920
Finding a way to look sexy while simultaneously destroying the

761
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:28.679
innocent memories of beloved childhood Advertising icons can present a

762
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:33.360
challenge for some. Luckily, this sexy Grimace costume threads that

763
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.440
needle in a way that will even impress Mayor mccheese.

764
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:41.760
I want to see the sexy Mayor mccheese outfit. Yeah,

765
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:46.880
just the giant hamburger head and then just lingerie, I guess, yeah, correct,

766
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:51.360
And just like a document that says, like, you know,

767
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:56.960
election fraud details that like you're hiding, yeah, Mayor, Yeah

768
00:43:57.039 --> 00:44:00.719
it's the mayor. Yeah, this's just a woman in a

769
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:06.480
grimace swimsuit with furry legs and a furry hat. Yeah,

770
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:08.199
and she's drinking a Grimace shake.

771
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.079
She's got a little bag.

772
00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:13.559
A purse that says and it just says French fries on.

773
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:19.840
It literally says French fries. Well, we're gonna jump into

774
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:21.920
even more of these weird costumes. We got to take

775
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:32.360
a quick break and we'll be right back. And we

776
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:36.239
are back with some more weird Halloween costumes. Courtesy of

777
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:42.519
Huffington Post. This one, Oh oh boy, the thirst Quencher.

778
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.480
This is dressing as one of those fancy yetti Remember

779
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.079
when everybody was going crazy about those yetti cups.

780
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:52.559
It's so weird because it's like I second hand, third

781
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:55.039
hand heard about it, and like I just never saw

782
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:55.960
any of it happen.

783
00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:59.320
But yeah, people just went crazy about the idea of

784
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:00.760
having an insight lated cup.

785
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:04.880
Yeah, and I was just like, what's what? But that's okay.

786
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:08.840
It says this year's trendiest drinking cup has now become

787
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:13.039
a rather skimpy Halloween costume. Now that's progress. So it

788
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:18.320
is a little pink dress with a top hat that

789
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.719
has a straw and then one sleeve that has a

790
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:23.480
handle on it. That's actually pretty clever.

791
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:25.039
Yeah, the handle thing's good.

792
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:27.360
Yeah, yeah, I'll give it to them. The matt but

793
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:35.440
I like that. Yeah, Detective Rabbit. Wow do rabbits enjoy

794
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:39.239
dressing up as beloved literary figures? The answer is elementary.

795
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:43.679
It's a rabbit dressed to Sherlock Holmes. He has a

796
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:47.039
hat and a cape, and it says it's available at Petco.

797
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:52.400
But it looks like an absolute aid or photoshopped image

798
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:53.599
of a rabbit in the costume.

799
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:55.639
Well, I mean it was hard. So they were just like,

800
00:45:55.719 --> 00:46:00.280
let's just just take a picture and.

801
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:05.840
Get this over with. Oh oh yeah, a strawberry pop tart.

802
00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:08.039
This would be a good costume for you.

803
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:10.400
Why because no one can see me?

804
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.480
Well, for your sake, yeah, because you'd be like, ah,

805
00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:15.440
nobody can see me.

806
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:19.559
Oh not that everyone is offended by seeing me.

807
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:21.480
That's not what I think.

808
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:24.119
Oh well that's what I think.

809
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:31.840
I know. Oh, we're all very worried. I know, need

810
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:36.320
a costume that is both tasteful and tarty. What dress

811
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:40.480
up as a frosted strawberry pop tart? What the hell

812
00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:41.599
is that supposed to mean?

813
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:42.800
I don't know.

814
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:48.360
Just don't drive with it over your head. Long story.

815
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.519
I'm pretty sure that person can see just fine.

816
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:57.639
It looks to me like the top you can see

817
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.679
the head sticking out at the top. It looks like

818
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:05.199
that is like some kind of spandex Okay, yeah, which

819
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.960
actually might be hard to see through if it's white though,

820
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:15.480
because white spandex doesn't like being opaque. Oh I learned

821
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:23.320
that making babysitter massacre. Oh yeah, not ideal. I'm sorry, Pell.

822
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:27.920
I know you had your heart set on being the

823
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:29.360
pop Tart.

824
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:31.719
But now I can't drive so far.

825
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:36.000
Now you can. Well, you know you're a pretty good driver.

826
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:43.960
You're an excellent driver. Ten minutes to WAP so wow. Okay,

827
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:47.360
so I'm looking at The costume includes a pop Tart's

828
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:50.519
foam costume, providing everything you need to nail the look.

829
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.039
Made of polyester, this costume is easy to wear and

830
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:57.159
looks realistic. Okay. If it's polyester, that means it is

831
00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:58.599
going to get very warm.

832
00:47:59.039 --> 00:47:59.320
Yay.

833
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:05.440
Oh and it's currently unavailable. I was going to order

834
00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:07.239
four of them directly to your house.

835
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:11.000
Oh yay, it's nuts. You can't do it.

836
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:15.880
I was curious what the hell it even cost. Anyway,

837
00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:18.679
I like that he's a giant poptart and holding a

838
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:21.719
pop tart, because that makes plenty of sense.

839
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.199
It's either his baby or he's a cannibal one of those.

840
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:27.559
It could be both.

841
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:28.679
It could be both.

842
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:36.800
Yeah, gosh mm hm oh. Tooth fairy and tooth well,

843
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:39.719
that's good. It's just a woman dressed as a tooth

844
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:42.119
fairy and a guy who has a crown on his head,

845
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:44.559
which is funny because he's dressed as a tooth. He's

846
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:49.199
got a crown, okay, and tooth crown. Not all couples

847
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.800
costumes are created equal. A tooth fairy costume allows one

848
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:56.079
partner to feel flirty and sexy, while a tooth costume

849
00:48:56.119 --> 00:49:00.199
allows the other two dressed like a tooth. That's pretty funny.

850
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:09.199
On yeah, it's a witch hunt costume. What oh, it's

851
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:14.760
it's referencing politics. This quote, it's a witch hunt costume.

852
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:18.679
Colorful Colorfully brings one of Donald Trump's favorite phrases to life,

853
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:21.800
perfect for starting a political argument after too many drinks

854
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:27.000
and sugar retreats. It's just a witch outfit. That's a

855
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:31.000
tiny dress with one hundred dollars bills printed all over

856
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:32.760
it that says witch hunt and then a witch hat

857
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:34.719
that also has hundred dollar bills printed all over it.

858
00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:36.280
Yeah.

859
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.199
I don't think people are going to get this right away,

860
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:39.800
or or maybe it's just me.

861
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:42.280
It's not that they don't get it, it's that they

862
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:42.880
don't want it.

863
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:45.039
Yeah.

864
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:47.239
That's one of my favorite jokes. When somebody like says

865
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:48.760
a bad joke and like, don't you don't get it.

866
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:50.280
I'm like, oh, I get it, I just don't want it.

867
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.360
So yeah, that one. That one does not, that one

868
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:59.320
doesn't click too hard. No Hoeing in the Air costume.

869
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.840
Oh it's a play on Boeing. Oh my god. Boeing

870
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:08.440
has had a problem with playing doors unexpectedly opening. This

871
00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:12.199
Hoeing in the Air costume has its own trapdoor and

872
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.719
awarding for other partygoers not to open it without consent.

873
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:19.559
The trap door is over her took us.

874
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:22.639
Okay, I think that's really dumb.

875
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:27.360
Yeah, it's just a blue dress, although she's wearing one

876
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:32.159
of those flight attendant scarves, and then just as caution,

877
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:34.079
keep door closed over her rump.

878
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:38.159
That doesn't even say without consent.

879
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:41.440
Yeah that was the writer being clever, I guess.

880
00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:45.320
Yeah. So I like I hate everything basically.

881
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:50.840
Good, good, good, childless cat lady. I like how it's

882
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:53.599
a woman and in a black cat costume that's like

883
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:55.960
a hoodie. It's just like a hoodie, but she has

884
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:58.320
like fishnets and boots on, and then just a cat

885
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:01.679
clearly photoshopped directly next to her, well standing there.

886
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:04.400
Well, they couldn't get the cat to stay still.

887
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:12.159
So just you know, Oh yeah, cats are like that. Yeah,

888
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:15.800
this childless cat lady costume turns JD Vance's favorite way

889
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:18.239
to insult a large voting block into an outfit that

890
00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:21.000
will look perfect when you wear it to the voting

891
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:25.079
booth a few days later. So, I mean, how many

892
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.880
childless cat ladies are there? Actually, I don't know if

893
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:31.599
it would be a large voting block, but at least

894
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:40.199
they tried to be topical. Yeah, sexy beetle babe. Oh

895
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:43.119
this is a woman dressed sort of like beetlejuice with

896
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:47.639
green hair, highlights and a stripey kind of sexy suit.

897
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.400
Legend says, if you say sexy beetlejuice costume three times,

898
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:54.519
someone starts singing.

899
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:57.400
Deoh, that's exactly what happened.

900
00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:04.639
None of that was good Beyonce inspired Renaissance queen. If

901
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:07.840
Beyonce can go country why can't you at least for Halloween.

902
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:10.599
It's just like a sexy cowgirl outfit with the word

903
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:11.599
renaissance on it.

904
00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.079
Yeah.

905
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:20.840
Moving on corn Yay, some Halloween costumes are corny. Others

906
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:24.480
are just corn. It's just a guy in a corn costume.

907
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:27.760
Do you think for this article they like were like,

908
00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:32.280
here's the costumes writers. Everybody write one thing down about

909
00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:34.159
it and we'll pick the best one. Because some of

910
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:36.519
them are like, feel like they were written by other people.

911
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:38.559
Yeah, oh yeah, some of them feel like they were

912
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.840
written by somebody who cares, and then others not. Yeah,

913
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:48.639
I couldn't tell you all right. One for me, sexy Popcorn.

914
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:52.360
It's a dude wearing spandex with a T shirt that

915
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:56.159
stops just past his pecks and just says popcorn with

916
00:52:56.199 --> 00:53:00.639
popcorn printed all over it and striped spandex. This sexy

917
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:03.679
popcorn costume to a party, and the corn won't be

918
00:53:03.760 --> 00:53:09.280
the only thing that pops. I they ruined it gross.

919
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:15.480
Moving on Frog. This frog costume will definitely get any

920
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:20.519
Halloween shindig hopping. It's just a guy dressed as a frog. Yeah,

921
00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:23.880
but he's making this crazy like ah face, Yeah.

922
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:27.039
Because he's confused and upset that he's a frog.

923
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:32.159
Oh hear that? Okay, I've not seen that sexy Freddy

924
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:36.679
Krueger costume. That's weird. It's a woman in a skin

925
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:40.679
tight body suit with a Freddy Krueger claw and a

926
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:47.199
Fedora hat. But it's basically patterning Freddy's burn scars all

927
00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:50.000
over her body. But it's not even doing a good job,

928
00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:52.159
so it just looks. She looks like a close up

929
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:56.199
of a piece of head cheese or a close up

930
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:57.519
of a salami sliced.

931
00:53:58.519 --> 00:53:59.880
Yeah, I can see salami.

932
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:03.480
It's I think it literally looks like head cheese, and

933
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:07.199
salami looks a little bit like it. Most people don't

934
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.480
know head cheese. Yeah, it's the perfect Bad Women. I

935
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:16.440
swear it's the perfect Halloween costume formula. Find something horrific,

936
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:19.880
then add a flirty spin to it. This sexy interpretation

937
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:24.400
of Freddy Krueger shows it can be done, does it?

938
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:25.760
Yeah?

939
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:29.239
Los Poyos Hermanos Breaking Bad costume. Okay, I just like that.

940
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.599
You haven't seen Breaking Bad. It's just the work uniform

941
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:34.599
for somebody who works at the chicken restaurant that's in

942
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:40.679
the series. It's just yeah, it's just that's what it is.

943
00:54:41.000 --> 00:54:42.880
I mean, yeah, you either get it or you don't.

944
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:45.559
Do like the joke that says great breaking bad reference

945
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:48.079
or did you just get off work? Both things can

946
00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:51.840
be true. Grasshopper Okay, this one's cool.

947
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:53.199
It's for a child.

948
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:56.440
This is a child's costume of grasshopper and it adds

949
00:54:56.519 --> 00:55:00.320
the It like has the long, jumpy legs. They come

950
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.679
off of the back and then reattached to your feet

951
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:05.920
so they'll move when you walk, and it seems kind

952
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:10.280
of cool. Yeah, parents, want to make sure your child

953
00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:13.760
never forgets the Halloween, make them wear this grasshopper costume,

954
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:15.960
and then make sure you show the photo to every

955
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:20.840
person they introduce you to for the rest of their life. Yeah,

956
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:28.639
that's solid advice. Baked potato dog. It's a dog wrapped

957
00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:31.440
in tinfoil, but then on his back it's like a

958
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:34.039
baked potato. Like it splits open and you can see

959
00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:38.360
shot chives and show sour cream and a pad of butter.

960
00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:41.559
It's pretty good. Sort of.

961
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:46.360
Also worst caption. Want to be a couch potato? This

962
00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:49.440
slloween cool, but your dog can make it literal with

963
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:57.880
this baked potato costume. Yeay oh gosh, Big Lebowski bowling

964
00:55:57.920 --> 00:56:01.440
pin dream dancer. Jesus, these are just really scraping the

965
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:04.480
barrel hed a costume that qualifies as sexy but also

966
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:07.360
a subtle reference to a favorite cult film. How about

967
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.000
being a bowling pin dream dancer from The Big Lebowski.

968
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:12.519
She's wearing a bowling pin hat and a dress. It's

969
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:15.079
they danced at the in Big Lebowski. Hey, and that's

970
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:17.760
all of them? Yeah, it was actually I was actually

971
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:19.039
about to say it was done.

972
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:22.199
Yeah.

973
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:24.039
Well, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be

974
00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:39.400
back with even more spooky news. And we are back,

975
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:43.079
and this is a little piece of spooky news from

976
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:47.280
Mirror dot co dot UK. Cell. I know you're excited.

977
00:56:48.039 --> 00:56:49.760
Yay, you like?

978
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:51.559
Can I correct the spellings?

979
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:52.119
Yeah?

980
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:52.679
Please?

981
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:58.679
The headline is inside real life ghost town frozen in time,

982
00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:01.360
with items left exactly where they.

983
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:06.039
Were, probably not exactly where they were anymore.

984
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:10.000
Well you weren't there, I were you? Oh you were?

985
00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:11.320
I'm everywhere.

986
00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:14.800
Oh now it's getting a little threatening.

987
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:15.679
Sorry.

988
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:19.840
There's an eerie yet captivating ghost town that seems to

989
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:24.280
have been frozen in time in California. The Golden State

990
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:27.679
is a dream tourist destination thanks to its expansive beaches,

991
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.519
vast deserts, and scenic backdrops. But it's also home to

992
00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:34.960
Hollywood and countless sets and studios, making it a top

993
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:38.599
bucket list place for many film buffs. The way they

994
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:42.960
phrased that was amazing. It's a great tourist destination. It

995
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:46.039
has beautiful beaches, vast deserts, and scenic backdrops, but it's

996
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:54.360
also home to Hollywood. Like but there's plenty more to

997
00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:57.239
see away from the bright lights of La La Land,

998
00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:02.320
California is also home to Body, an abandoned town known

999
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:05.639
for its many ghost sightings. They put that in air

1000
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:10.239
quotes sightings wow quotes. Based in the Body Hills east

1001
00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:13.599
of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in Mono County, the

1002
00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:16.719
little town was once a thriving hotspot thanks to the

1003
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:21.320
discovery of profitable gold as opposed to that non profitable gold.

1004
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:23.239
I guess it's nice that there's a distinction.

1005
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:28.039
In eighteen seventy six, Body experienced a boom and soon

1006
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:31.440
became home to around eight thousand people, as well as

1007
00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:34.280
two thousand buildings and structures. Wow.

1008
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.119
Home to the buildings.

1009
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:38.880
What'd you say? Oh?

1010
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:41.119
It also became home to buildings. I don't know, it

1011
00:58:41.199 --> 00:58:41.920
just sounded weird.

1012
00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:44.920
It sounded weird. Now you're totally right. Uh oh, And

1013
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:47.519
here I'll show you this. They're showing us a picture

1014
00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:51.719
of a dining room. Say, and you can see like

1015
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:53.880
it's very dusty and old.

1016
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.480
I really like it. I really like the walls. They're

1017
00:58:56.519 --> 00:58:59.760
like green, and they have beadboard at the bottom. There's

1018
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:00.440
super nice.

1019
00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:05.440
Yeah, the beatboard's nice. I'm glad that you appreciate a

1020
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:09.800
good beat board. H People flocked to the area, hoping

1021
00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:12.880
to benefit from the lucrative gold which saw it develop

1022
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:16.840
Like other well established towns. At its peak, body boasted

1023
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:21.159
a bank, a railroad, volunteer fire companies, a miners and

1024
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:25.119
mechanics union, as well as a range of daily newspapers,

1025
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:28.519
a cemetery and a jail, like all.

1026
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:30.039
The normal things that are in a town.

1027
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:36.320
I guess basically, yeah, I mean it boasted a bank,

1028
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:39.719
a railroad, a volunteer fire company, a miners and mechanics union.

1029
00:59:39.719 --> 00:59:41.079
It boasted those things.

1030
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:44.119
Though, So what was it not posting? What else was

1031
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:45.840
there that it didn't want to talk about?

1032
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:48.760
We might find out, because apparently it ended up a

1033
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:52.199
ghost town. It couldn't just be that the gold mine

1034
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:52.639
ran out.

1035
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:55.320
Yeah, everybody moved. Yeah.

1036
00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:58.880
It also offered residents an array of bars and saloons,

1037
00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:03.360
and reportedly be became known for a string of murders, shoutouts,

1038
01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:07.639
barroom brawls, and stage coach hold ups over the years.

1039
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:09.199
Sounds like a good place.

1040
01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:14.400
Yeah, Well, he didn't mention boasting police department. They shot

1041
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:17.119
the sheriff station, so they they.

1042
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:19.920
Did boast about their jail. So I guess that really that.

1043
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:23.239
Yeah, but they're like, we built it, Why isn't there

1044
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:25.559
anybody in it? They just don't understand that there's the

1045
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:27.519
other two parts, like the police and the court.

1046
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:30.480
They don't just magically go to jail when they do

1047
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:31.159
bad things.

1048
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:36.360
Mere decades later, though, when the gold started to dry up,

1049
01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:39.440
the little town became a shadow of its former self.

1050
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:42.840
Miners left to seek gold elsewhere, which saw the area

1051
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:49.559
become much more family oriented. Oh no, that sounds terrifying.

1052
01:00:51.199 --> 01:00:54.199
It became much more family oriented. And here's just a

1053
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:55.519
shot of like a part of the town.

1054
01:00:55.880 --> 01:00:56.880
It's super pretty.

1055
01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:02.480
It's a I like it, and I know you do.

1056
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:07.719
You're already trying to move there. Yeah, So let's see

1057
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:12.679
though it. Though its minds were still relatively profitable, it

1058
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:16.480
didn't stop the decline, and by nineteen fifteen Body was

1059
01:01:16.519 --> 01:01:20.480
commonly referred to as a ghost town, with its businesses

1060
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:27.920
and establishments abandoned. That's you know, actually, like gold rush

1061
01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:30.039
towns are kind of a perfect example of how to

1062
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:33.880
make a ghost town because you think about it, when

1063
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:37.480
a boom is that strong, you've made back the investment

1064
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:40.320
in the building or whatever so many times over, you

1065
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:43.880
really would just be like, I'm just gonna leave it out. Yeah, yeah,

1066
01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:46.440
you know, because my first thought is like, how could

1067
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:49.840
anybody leave their their house or their business. But yeah,

1068
01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:52.039
if you if you've like paid repaid it over like

1069
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:55.360
five times over, who cares? Like just just go where?

1070
01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:56.320
Go somewhere else?

1071
01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:58.639
I mean I care, but I guess I get it.

1072
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:02.039
Yeah, but you get emotion connected the houses, yes.

1073
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:04.360
Because they're they're really special.

1074
01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:11.320
Aw, that's really nice. Some homes were left with furniture

1075
01:02:11.400 --> 01:02:15.559
and personal belongings, giving insight into the way residents truly lived,

1076
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:20.440
juxtaposed with an element of mystery and an easy intrigue.

1077
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:24.440
I guess I feel a degree of mystery and uneasy

1078
01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:26.440
intrigue I guess.

1079
01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:28.159
I mean, I don't, but sure.

1080
01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:33.159
Now it's recognized as an authentic Wild West ghost town,

1081
01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:37.199
with the US Department of Interior declaring the designated Body

1082
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.199
Historic District as a National Historic Landmark.

1083
01:02:40.639 --> 01:02:40.880
Yay.

1084
01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:44.400
So now it just sits there yay.

1085
01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:45.639
And entropy.

1086
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:51.000
Yeah, it's also registered as a California Historical land Mark,

1087
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:54.679
gaining its official establishment as Body State Historic Park in

1088
01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:58.760
nineteen sixty two. So they established that a really long

1089
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:02.840
time ago. Wow, it wasn't even like fifty years old

1090
01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:05.159
when they were when they were like, all right, it's

1091
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:08.400
historic now, Like, it wasn't even not fifty years It

1092
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:11.400
wasn't even fifty years abandoned before they did that. That's

1093
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:14.320
what I meant to say. Yeah, the ghost town receives

1094
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:18.840
around two hundred thousand visitors each year, fascinating people with

1095
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:24.159
its history, empty buildings, and reports of ghost sightings. Oh

1096
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:30.519
not the actual ghost sightings, just the reports. Yeah, this

1097
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:33.679
place has some of the most terrifying and chilling reports

1098
01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:37.159
of ghost stories ever. Wow, so ghosts of here, No,

1099
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:43.880
but the reports were made here thunder and lightning. People

1100
01:03:43.880 --> 01:03:46.960
have taken the trip Advisor to share their experiences of

1101
01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:50.440
visiting the eerie town. One wrote quote, this is a

1102
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:53.199
fascinating glimpse into the gold Rush of one hundred and

1103
01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:57.039
forty years ago. As you approach the body, it says

1104
01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:59.760
the body, the road just disappears and you're on a

1105
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:02.880
great gravel rock track. But no problem for the car.

1106
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.679
The town itself is very well preserved and extremely photogenic.

1107
01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:09.199
Point the camera in any direction and it will be

1108
01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:14.039
a great photo. Ok. I just point it down at

1109
01:04:14.079 --> 01:04:16.679
the ground, yeah, and then be like they lied to me.

1110
01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:20.000
It still probably is a great photo.

1111
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:23.119
And you just are like what, Yeah, I'm just completely

1112
01:04:23.119 --> 01:04:25.239
I just do that. It's a I take a picture

1113
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:27.480
of my shoes and it's the sunset. I'm like what

1114
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:31.039
and it's like eleven am. I'm like what. Yeah, I

1115
01:04:31.079 --> 01:04:36.519
have so many questions. Another review said quote, top tip,

1116
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:39.679
get the three dollars guide to the town. It gives

1117
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:42.679
you a walking tour and insights into many of the buildings.

1118
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:46.280
A fascinating afternoon and very well worth it. The eight

1119
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:48.320
dollar fee to get in is a bargain.

1120
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:50.840
Oh so you have to pay eight dollars to get

1121
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:52.719
in and then an extra three dollars for a tour.

1122
01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:56.559
Well to get I think it's self guided, so it's

1123
01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:57.880
just like a pamphlet with info.

1124
01:04:58.559 --> 01:04:59.719
Then I'll just do it myself.

1125
01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:06.760
Wow. Wow, grouchy Michelle over here. One of these days,

1126
01:05:07.159 --> 01:05:09.199
I'm gonna throw a crowdfunder for us to go to

1127
01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:12.400
haunted places, just you and me and cameras.

1128
01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:15.719
I do it only if we can stay overnight and

1129
01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:16.880
have like a sleepover.

1130
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:21.320
Oh of course I'll bring I'll bring pajamas and my seapep. Yay.

1131
01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:24.400
Oh no, what are we gonna do? Do we like

1132
01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:26.440
a little generator if there's no power?

1133
01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:29.719
I have battery banks for work that would run it

1134
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:34.960
for nine hours. Yay, Yeah, we got this. Another said quote,

1135
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:37.679
this is a truly amazing ghost town and well worth

1136
01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:40.159
the drive. Plan to spend most of the day here

1137
01:05:40.199 --> 01:05:42.599
as there is so much to see. I like how

1138
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:44.960
authentic the place is and how it is rustic and

1139
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:49.920
true to form. This is not a reconstructed town. Exclamation point.

1140
01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:52.840
This is a must see if you love history and

1141
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:55.719
ghost towns.

1142
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:02.440
Like does mirror dot co UK get paid to advertise

1143
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:03.760
these things or do they just do it?

1144
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:07.239
They have to, they have to get paid. And a

1145
01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:10.360
third added quote, Wow, this was much bigger and more

1146
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:13.079
than I expected. While we spent some time here, it

1147
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:14.800
was near the end of the day and we ran

1148
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:16.920
out of time. Would have liked to have had more

1149
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:18.639
time to walk and see everything.

1150
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:20.480
Kind of sounds like that was your fault.

1151
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:23.800
Yeah, that's that's on you. Then another quote says, it's

1152
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:25.960
amazing what is left here, and to think at what

1153
01:06:26.119 --> 01:06:29.360
time one time this was a booming town. We watched

1154
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:31.800
the short film about the area. The drive to get

1155
01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:34.280
there was quite fun, especially the last three miles where

1156
01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:37.199
the pavement runs out. Make sure you allow plenty of time.

1157
01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:40.119
And if you're a wild West Bluff buff, this place

1158
01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:46.000
is for you. I don't think this is fair. I

1159
01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:48.400
think that that is clearly marketing.

1160
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:50.840
Yes, and also I'm biased.

1161
01:06:54.360 --> 01:07:00.760
Uh, I'm gonna look up body reviews. Yeah and read bad.

1162
01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:02.960
Ones please because this is totally biased.

1163
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:07.800
So on trip advisor there are one five and five

1164
01:07:07.880 --> 01:07:13.440
reviews and eight reviews of poor and sixteen reviews of terrible.

1165
01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:15.679
Ooh, let's read the terrible ones.

1166
01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:21.920
Done. Camille writes worst experience ever for a handicap person. Ooh,

1167
01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:26.119
that's unfortunate. Yeah, not handicap accessible. It's a quarter of

1168
01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:28.519
a mile just to the museum, then across some big

1169
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:30.639
rocks to get to the building with the movie and

1170
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:35.800
then we drove off. Ooh, this one is for real.

1171
01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:40.480
This one one star from Luke. It says it is

1172
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:43.079
a cool place. Oh wait sorry, the headline says a

1173
01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:45.679
lot is staged, not original.

1174
01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:47.159
Figured.

1175
01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:50.039
It is a cool place, not worth the money you

1176
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:52.920
have to pay to see. Nothing is up kept. Also,

1177
01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:55.079
there is a lot of stage things that they claim

1178
01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:58.239
to be original. But the brasher even broch I think

1179
01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:01.000
they meant to say brochure. There's b r A s

1180
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:04.360
eh s A b r a s h e a

1181
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:08.159
r frost year even and it's capitalized like it's a name.

1182
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:12.599
Even says yeah, it's right, Why auto corrected it? Things

1183
01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:15.519
has moved to different spots. Some of the buildings you

1184
01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:19.479
can't even look inside due to the park rangers m

1185
01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:23.640
A D E N Maiden the buildings their own living space.

1186
01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:27.560
Oh that debunks the haunted stories, I would say. Also,

1187
01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.760
the cemetery is ran down, very bad and obviously a

1188
01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:33.000
lot of stage tombstone set up to play the part

1189
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:33.760
of a cemetery.

1190
01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:37.239
Huh.

1191
01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:39.199
Oh, you're gonna like this one. This will be the last one.

1192
01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:44.039
This one is from Pietro and it says park beautiful,

1193
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:47.279
road horrible only the last three miles. It's very annoying,

1194
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:50.840
annoying with no warnings. On three ninety five Smero, people

1195
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:52.920
kept saying in those like the road really is great

1196
01:08:52.960 --> 01:08:56.399
for your car, worth visiting, but road horrible the last

1197
01:08:56.399 --> 01:08:59.239
three miles and no warnings. When you take the Body

1198
01:08:59.359 --> 01:09:02.199
Road from the three once you are almost there in

1199
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:04.600
the middle of nowhere, you have two options. Keep driving

1200
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:07.079
you get one inch of dust on your car, kill

1201
01:09:07.079 --> 01:09:10.439
your suspension, steering, wheel balancing and alignment, trash your air

1202
01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:14.119
filter and radiator. Or stop the car unattended in a

1203
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:17.439
suspicious area when the rough not paved roads start and

1204
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:21.520
recently touch or start and walk for three miles. It's

1205
01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:24.159
stupid leaving the last three miles of the body road

1206
01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:27.199
not paved. The park has been recently touched by humans,

1207
01:09:27.199 --> 01:09:29.439
for sure, So just continue the road up to the

1208
01:09:29.479 --> 01:09:31.680
point you pay for the entrance of the park. Yeah,

1209
01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:33.680
and then we put barentheses eight dollars per person.

1210
01:09:34.560 --> 01:09:36.239
I like him.

1211
01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:38.680
That is hilarious because he literally complains about the thing

1212
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.239
they seem to overstate is fine in those other articles.

1213
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:44.720
So we're gonna take a quick break and We'll be

1214
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:48.920
back with more spooky news and not unfairly advertise Body

1215
01:09:49.000 --> 01:10:01.560
State Historic Park after this. Right, we're back, and I

1216
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:04.000
have a very special piece of spooky news that I'm

1217
01:10:04.039 --> 01:10:06.439
hoping will make Michelle uncomfortable.

1218
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:07.960
I don't think so.

1219
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:12.159
Okay, fine, Well, this one's from Huffington Post. It says

1220
01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:16.079
Greek resident guilty of entering homes to smell shoes.

1221
01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:28.760
Huh, you're huh Thessaloniki, Greece.

1222
01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:32.199
A judge in northern Greece on Thursday imposed a suspended

1223
01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:35.680
one month prison sentence on a man convicted of disturbing

1224
01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:40.000
his neighbors by repeatedly sneaking into their properties to smell

1225
01:10:40.039 --> 01:10:40.760
their shoes.

1226
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:44.840
I think I would just leave my shoes outside because

1227
01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:46.920
I'd be really tired of him coming inside. So I'd

1228
01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:49.600
be like, here, Hugh's just some shoes that you can smell.

1229
01:10:50.760 --> 01:10:53.000
You wouldn't have questions.

1230
01:10:53.640 --> 01:10:56.840
I have no, because I kind of it's like it's

1231
01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:58.600
like you don't have to explain it to me. I

1232
01:10:58.680 --> 01:10:59.520
kind of understand.

1233
01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:02.399
Oh, oh god, you kind of understand. No.

1234
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:05.039
I mean I don't empathize or or I can't put

1235
01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:07.319
myself in your position, but like I don't need to know.

1236
01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:10.680
I kind of already know, like it's okay.

1237
01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:15.399
This is getting, this is getting. Where'some. The twenty eight

1238
01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:19.279
year old Greek man told the Thessaloniky court that he

1239
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:22.119
was unable to explain his behavior, which he said had

1240
01:11:22.119 --> 01:11:26.920
caused him great embarrassment. Yeah, I'm sorry, dude, unable to

1241
01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:28.359
explain your behavior.

1242
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:30.479
Well, he doesn't want to explain.

1243
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:33.760
Yeah, yeah, he doesn't want to explain that he's a

1244
01:11:33.800 --> 01:11:34.439
sniff freak.

1245
01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:38.479
He can't explain it with yeah, without yeah, making.

1246
01:11:38.279 --> 01:11:42.279
Him incriminating himself deeply and honestly and rightfully.

1247
01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:46.600
Yeah, yeah, but not even incriminating. Just it's worse than that.

1248
01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:52.079
Yeah. He stressed that he had no intention of breaking

1249
01:11:52.119 --> 01:11:56.079
the law or harming anybody, and neighbors testified that he

1250
01:11:56.199 --> 01:11:59.640
never displayed any sign of aggression during his nocturnal visits.

1251
01:11:59.640 --> 01:12:04.279
Oh it was night, did they like lock their doors?

1252
01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:10.239
I mean, well it's grease, so I don't no idea, yeah,

1253
01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:13.600
oh man. The man was arrested before dawn on October

1254
01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:16.960
eighth in the small town of Seindos, about fifteen kilometers

1255
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:20.680
or nine miles west of Thessaloniki. Police had been called

1256
01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:23.239
after a neighbor found the defendant in his front yard

1257
01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:27.199
sniffing his family's shoes, which had been left outdoors to air.

1258
01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:33.359
See see huh.

1259
01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:34.319
Okay, I mean he didn't come inside.

1260
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:39.720
No, but he's still trespassing, like barely. Okay. See what

1261
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:41.880
you're saying is I should give out your address and say, hey,

1262
01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:44.760
if you just want to stand in Michelle's lawn at night,

1263
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:47.520
that's okay. I mean and smell stuff.

1264
01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:51.640
I mean plenty of people like just stand places and

1265
01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:52.920
smell stuff.

1266
01:12:54.000 --> 01:12:57.359
On like private property, like a lawn. I don't know,

1267
01:12:58.039 --> 01:13:03.000
I don't think that's okay, man, I don't know. I'm

1268
01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:05.640
just I'm just being straight up. I don't think that's okay.

1269
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:06.880
I don't know.

1270
01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:11.640
Call me a fuddy duddy, but I might have to

1271
01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:14.960
draw the line there. Okay, I'm sorry.

1272
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:20.399
I think if someone was sorry, I know, I know.

1273
01:13:21.920 --> 01:13:22.880
What what were you saying?

1274
01:13:22.960 --> 01:13:25.399
It's like, if someone was standing on my front lawn

1275
01:13:25.560 --> 01:13:27.520
just not doing anything, that might be kind of weird.

1276
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.119
But if they're just passing through sniffing.

1277
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:36.520
Some shoes, you're you're a much more tolerant person than

1278
01:13:36.560 --> 01:13:36.880
I am.

1279
01:13:37.199 --> 01:13:44.319
Yeah, I'm sorry. I live in kind of in like

1280
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:47.600
a suburban but true suburban environment like outside of a city,

1281
01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:50.119
but like near the city, so we're all pretty close together.

1282
01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:52.800
The houses are so you know, I used to have

1283
01:13:52.880 --> 01:13:55.760
kids at my last house, like sit on my stoop. No,

1284
01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:58.479
like what happens. I mean, they didn't smell my shoes

1285
01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:01.920
and they were hitting each other. I don't think they

1286
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:03.119
had a good relationship.

1287
01:14:03.880 --> 01:14:09.159
I didn't know if that sounds okay. I was gonna say,

1288
01:14:09.319 --> 01:14:15.439
I remember your neighborhood. The court heard that there had

1289
01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:19.079
been at least three similar incidents in the past six months,

1290
01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:22.880
despite neighbors having asked the defendant's family to get him

1291
01:14:22.920 --> 01:14:27.000
to stop. Did they ever ask him, Marge, could you

1292
01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:30.840
please have your son stop wandering onto my property in

1293
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:32.720
the middle of the night and smelling my in my

1294
01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:36.479
family's shoes while they're airing out on the porch. Oh,

1295
01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:38.039
I'll bring it up at dinner.

1296
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:41.960
Yeah, she's not gonna.

1297
01:14:43.399 --> 01:14:46.720
But here's the happy ending to the story. The man

1298
01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:49.479
was ordered to attend therapy sessions.

1299
01:14:52.359 --> 01:14:52.680
Good.

1300
01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:55.760
Well, I'm gonna have to say, Huffington Post really let

1301
01:14:55.840 --> 01:15:01.319
us down. There's only one comment, oh man, And the

1302
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:03.680
comment isn't even what you'd think. It just says it's

1303
01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:05.760
just like a dad joke. It says if he managed

1304
01:15:05.800 --> 01:15:08.119
to sniff the sneakers of just about any teenager, I'm

1305
01:15:08.159 --> 01:15:12.600
sure he would pass out fair enough. I was expecting

1306
01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:17.079
truly perverse comments from the Peanut Gallery, but I'll take that.

1307
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:20.560
So all right, we're gonna head back to Mirror dot

1308
01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:23.319
co dot uk. Hopefully this time they're not selling us anything,

1309
01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:29.000
but this one I like because Chell, you know, you've

1310
01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:32.359
had a few houses, You've had two houses of your own,

1311
01:15:32.359 --> 01:15:34.680
and then you know childhood houses and stuff. Have you

1312
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:39.079
ever found anything after moving in or you know, just

1313
01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:41.720
found something you didn't expect on the property or on

1314
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:43.439
the grounds, like really.

1315
01:15:43.119 --> 01:15:48.239
Strange, but defined strange.

1316
01:15:48.399 --> 01:15:50.720
Just something you were like, huh. That makes me think

1317
01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:56.239
the machete which you left behind, Yeah, I.

1318
01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.640
Did leave it. Or how about the bottles of gatorade

1319
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:02.159
and the that I just left there the entire time

1320
01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:03.880
I was there because I didn't know what to do

1321
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:05.159
with them.

1322
01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:06.199
Or I.

1323
01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:12.720
Remember helping you move out of your last house and

1324
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:16.199
finding that machete and packing it and then you're like, no, no,

1325
01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:18.199
this was in the house when I did. I was

1326
01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:21.920
like what, and You're like, I'm just gonna leave it here.

1327
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:23.720
I was like, that's even weird. You just like wanted

1328
01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:24.479
to pass that on.

1329
01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:26.920
This is yeah, I don't want the machete that came

1330
01:16:27.000 --> 01:16:27.560
with the house.

1331
01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:30.640
Did that make you wonder at all the machete?

1332
01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.039
No, Actually, to be really honest, none of it made

1333
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:34.920
me wonder that much.

1334
01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:37.439
I was just like, oh, oh, a murderer lived here.

1335
01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:38.000
That's cool.

1336
01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:39.119
Yeah. Whatever.

1337
01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:44.520
Well, this story is about a man creeped out after

1338
01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:48.560
discovering a tombstone in his garden with alarming detail.

1339
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:51.159
I'm going to need to know what the details are

1340
01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:53.239
because I don't actually think the tombstone is that alarming.

1341
01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:56.640
You don't think you wouldn't freak out if you bought

1342
01:16:56.640 --> 01:16:59.119
a property and then found a tombstone in the garden.

1343
01:16:59.560 --> 01:17:03.560
Oh No, I would just be like, oh, well that's right, sure,

1344
01:17:04.359 --> 01:17:05.399
really freak out.

1345
01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:09.079
I would. I mean I wouldn't like scream and run

1346
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:11.000
or anything, but I'd be like, whoa, that's not what

1347
01:17:11.039 --> 01:17:16.600
I was hoping for. A man has been left constantly

1348
01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:20.439
looking over his shoulder after unearthing a tombstone in his garden,

1349
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:24.079
eerily inscribed with his own birth date.

1350
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:31.520
No, that is creepy, that's pretty creepy. While digging to

1351
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:35.720
make a pond. He stumbled upon the unsettling find, prompting

1352
01:17:35.800 --> 01:17:40.279
him to delve into the history of his property. Taking

1353
01:17:40.319 --> 01:17:44.119
to Reddit to share his eerie experience, he posted quote,

1354
01:17:44.319 --> 01:17:47.159
found a tombstone while digging out a pond in my backyard.

1355
01:17:47.640 --> 01:17:50.119
I should also add that he died on my birthday

1356
01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:50.960
of a different year.

1357
01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:56.960
Obviously. The headstone belongs to John Cunningham born January twenty sixth,

1358
01:17:57.039 --> 01:18:00.680
eighteen hundred in Maryland and who passed away on June

1359
01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:05.399
twenty ninth, eighteen sixty six in spring Getsbury. I'm guessing

1360
01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:09.640
that's in England. Maybe. A curious Reddit user took it

1361
01:18:09.720 --> 01:18:12.960
upon themselves to trace John's history, discovering that he was

1362
01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:16.199
laid to rest in Mount Zion Cemetery on June thirtieth,

1363
01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:20.159
eighteen sixty six. After combing through the historic records, the

1364
01:18:20.279 --> 01:18:23.800
user revealed quote, he has a few living relatives today

1365
01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:26.920
who I'm sure would be very interested in this relic.

1366
01:18:28.720 --> 01:18:31.199
And I'm gonna real quick, here's the tombstone for you

1367
01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:33.560
to look at it. It's broken in half, it's super

1368
01:18:33.640 --> 01:18:35.000
worn out, worn down.

1369
01:18:35.239 --> 01:18:40.039
So he but we know where the dude was buried, right.

1370
01:18:40.319 --> 01:18:43.479
Yeah, so it looks like the tombstone was maybe stolen

1371
01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:47.159
or maybe it was replaced and this is the old one. Hmmm. Yeah,

1372
01:18:47.199 --> 01:18:49.359
I don't know. I hope we find out more and

1373
01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:51.439
it's not just a tease, because a lot of times

1374
01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:57.399
these are teases. Nine point seven thousand up votes another commenter.

1375
01:18:58.800 --> 01:19:02.520
Another commenter, in intrigued by the discovery, suggested, quote, what

1376
01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:06.840
a fascinating discovery. Do inform your local historical society. They

1377
01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:10.039
will probably be very interested. He was most likely buried

1378
01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:12.359
on what was private property owned by the family at

1379
01:19:12.359 --> 01:19:15.399
the time. Anyone with expertise on this issue should be

1380
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:19.479
reinterred elsewhere, or anyone who has expertise seas in this

1381
01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:23.000
issue should he be reinterred elsewhere or left where he is.

1382
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:28.399
Quote if it is a lost church graveyard, there may

1383
01:19:28.439 --> 01:19:32.119
be others undiscovered, especially if they were African American. It

1384
01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:35.359
was commonplace to disregard such cemeteries back in the day.

1385
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:40.000
Just a theory. A third user commented, make sure you're register.

1386
01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:43.920
You register this on find a Grave or some genealogy site.

1387
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:47.560
It may mean something to someone. Hm, that's a fair

1388
01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:51.079
point too. Yeah. Another added, well, you just hit a

1389
01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:55.119
jackpot on a Halloween decoration. That's my kind of comment.

1390
01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:56.359
Yeah.

1391
01:19:56.520 --> 01:19:59.000
One more user, who claimed to have gravestones on his

1392
01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:02.640
own property said quote, I've two stacked in my backyard

1393
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.319
as well, between a bunch of older of other stones.

1394
01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:08.399
They are old, and spots in a graveyard are limited,

1395
01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:11.279
so the spots are often reused when nobody pays or

1396
01:20:11.359 --> 01:20:14.800
cares for a spot anymore. Stones are also expensive too,

1397
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:17.319
so it's likely someone thought to keep them around for

1398
01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:21.560
the use in the future. Okay, okay, okay, So that

1399
01:20:21.640 --> 01:20:24.159
was kind of what I was thinking. So the best

1400
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:26.680
theory we have is that no one was buried there,

1401
01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:31.000
but somebody reused a grave plot and ditched that guy's tombstone,

1402
01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:34.039
but then kept it on a property and just kind

1403
01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:34.600
of left it.

1404
01:20:34.479 --> 01:20:36.960
Somewhere just because maybe in the future we can like

1405
01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:40.199
use it, we can put something on the back and

1406
01:20:40.239 --> 01:20:41.520
then maybe grind I.

1407
01:20:41.439 --> 01:20:43.840
Mean it's a big heavy stone.

1408
01:20:43.680 --> 01:20:47.319
Yeah, or you know, like whatever those things are called,

1409
01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:49.840
like a door stop or.

1410
01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:55.479
Like paperweight, paper weight. Oh okay, okay, I see what

1411
01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:59.359
you're saying. No, no, actually, it's not offensive or anything else,

1412
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:01.960
just weird. We're gonna take a quick break and we're

1413
01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:04.359
gonna wrap it up. With a little bit more spooky news,

1414
01:21:04.399 --> 01:21:06.199
and then we're gonna dive into our topic, which I

1415
01:21:06.279 --> 01:21:17.279
just might reveal to you after this, and we're back

1416
01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:19.640
with some more spooky news. This one. We're heading back

1417
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:24.720
to Huffington Post because this one really amused me. A

1418
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:27.640
woman calls nine one one after being hounded by up

1419
01:21:27.680 --> 01:21:32.720
to one hundred raccoons. Oh god, oh, now, all of

1420
01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:34.880
a sudden, you're not little miss nature.

1421
01:21:35.880 --> 01:21:38.600
I'm kind of scared of raccoons.

1422
01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:40.920
Like, even if it's just.

1423
01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:46.199
One, maybe I think they are intelligent and that scares me.

1424
01:21:46.279 --> 01:21:47.560
And they have little hands.

1425
01:21:48.119 --> 01:21:51.119
They do have little hands with the pseudo opposable thumbs.

1426
01:21:52.960 --> 01:21:56.239
So how many raccoons would you need to see on

1427
01:21:56.279 --> 01:21:58.079
your front yard before you would call the police?

1428
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.800
To be honest, I'm probably not calling the police. I

1429
01:22:03.800 --> 01:22:07.279
mean for raccoons, like I probably would have to figure out,

1430
01:22:07.279 --> 01:22:09.439
like if I do, I need to call a wildlife thing.

1431
01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:12.000
Okay, okay, So how about this? How many raccoons have

1432
01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:14.119
to be on your front yard before you call for help?

1433
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:16.000
In any way?

1434
01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:17.880
At least seventy five.

1435
01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:20.760
That's a lot of raccoons.

1436
01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:24.039
Yeah. Any less than that, I'm just gonna make it

1437
01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:24.760
it's fine.

1438
01:22:25.079 --> 01:22:28.920
Now sixty raccoons, I think I think my cutoff is

1439
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:29.720
about thirty.

1440
01:22:30.600 --> 01:22:33.199
Wow, if I saw, because I've never seen more than

1441
01:22:33.239 --> 01:22:35.239
two or three raccoons in one place.

1442
01:22:37.159 --> 01:22:38.119
Yeah.

1443
01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:40.640
Well, and I'm specifically speaking of my front yard to

1444
01:22:40.840 --> 01:22:44.439
not like a campground or something, you know where raccoons

1445
01:22:44.479 --> 01:22:46.520
know that, Like they're here for the garbage and everything.

1446
01:22:47.479 --> 01:22:53.079
Give me a garbage. Sheriff's deputies in Washington's Kitsap County

1447
01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:57.479
frequently get calls about animals, loose, livestock, problem dogs, but

1448
01:22:57.520 --> 01:22:59.680
the nine one one call they received recently from a

1449
01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:03.279
woman being hounded by dozens of raccoons swarming her home

1450
01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:09.039
near Poulsbo or pulse Bow stood out. The woman reported

1451
01:23:09.079 --> 01:23:12.319
having to flee her property after fifty to one hundred

1452
01:23:12.399 --> 01:23:16.920
raccoons descended upon it and were acting aggressively, said Kevin McCarty,

1453
01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:20.159
a spokesperson for the sheriff's office. She told deputies she

1454
01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:21.319
started feeding.

1455
01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:24.720
A uh yeah, like they're not just gonna come.

1456
01:23:27.800 --> 01:23:32.000
She started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago. Wow,

1457
01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:36.039
it was fine. It was fine until about six weeks earlier,

1458
01:23:36.079 --> 01:23:38.760
when the numbers showing up went from a handful to

1459
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:40.920
around one hundred.

1460
01:23:41.479 --> 01:23:43.359
Wow. This is her fault.

1461
01:23:43.760 --> 01:23:47.880
This is entirely her fault. Yeah, she said. Oh. Quote.

1462
01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:52.239
She says those raccoons were becoming increasingly more aggressive, demanding food,

1463
01:23:52.479 --> 01:23:54.840
that they would hound her day and night, scratching at

1464
01:23:54.840 --> 01:23:57.479
the outside of her home, at the door. If she

1465
01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:00.399
pulled up her car, they would surround the car atchet

1466
01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:02.960
the car surround her if she went from her front

1467
01:24:02.960 --> 01:24:05.960
door to her car and went outside at all. McCarty said,

1468
01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:08.960
they saw this as a food source now, so they

1469
01:24:09.039 --> 01:24:11.920
kept coming back to it, and they kept expecting food.

1470
01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:14.560
That's how it goes.

1471
01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:16.920
This is terrifying, dude.

1472
01:24:17.520 --> 01:24:19.279
I mean, the way to stop this is to stop

1473
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:20.359
feeding the raccoons.

1474
01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:22.000
And eventually they starved to death.

1475
01:24:22.760 --> 01:24:26.399
Yea, then they're yeah, yeah, I mean, eventually they'll just die.

1476
01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:31.479
It was not clear what caused their numbers to balloon suddenly.

1477
01:24:32.079 --> 01:24:34.960
Both the Sheriff's office and the Washington Department of Fish

1478
01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:39.239
and Wildlife determined no laws were broken. McCarty said, I'm

1479
01:24:39.239 --> 01:24:41.000
assuming they mean by the woman enough, by.

1480
01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:42.560
The by the raccoons.

1481
01:24:44.239 --> 01:24:47.560
Quote. This is a nuisance problem kind of of her

1482
01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:49.840
own making, that she has to deal with, he said.

1483
01:24:50.439 --> 01:24:53.880
Video from the Sheriff's office shows raccoons milling around trees,

1484
01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:57.239
and deputies who responded to the call observed fifty to

1485
01:24:57.359 --> 01:25:01.720
one hundred of them, he added. Bridget Meyer, a spokesperson

1486
01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:04.399
with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said by

1487
01:25:04.439 --> 01:25:07.279
email that under state law, it is illegal to feed

1488
01:25:07.439 --> 01:25:13.079
large carnivores such as bears or cougars. While municipalities or

1489
01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:17.199
counties may have local statutes forbidding the feeding of other wildlife,

1490
01:25:17.279 --> 01:25:20.079
it is currently not against state law to do so.

1491
01:25:20.359 --> 01:25:24.600
She said, Do you feed the animals? You feed birds?

1492
01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:25.960
Yeah?

1493
01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:29.960
I feed birds. Yeah, I don't feed anything else.

1494
01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:34.079
Now that Rachel's living here. We feed birds, which means

1495
01:25:34.079 --> 01:25:38.039
we feed squirrels, which means we occasionally feed raccoons, which.

1496
01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:40.840
Means you basically only feed squirrels because they eat all

1497
01:25:40.840 --> 01:25:41.920
the bird food all the time.

1498
01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:46.680
We put this stinky stuff on the pole that's supposed

1499
01:25:46.680 --> 01:25:50.159
to make squirrels and raccoons not want to be on it,

1500
01:25:51.239 --> 01:25:53.840
and I believe it because I can smell it when

1501
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:55.239
I walk by it, and I don't want to be

1502
01:25:55.279 --> 01:25:55.840
near it either.

1503
01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:57.600
Oh that's nice.

1504
01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:01.680
It's a musty smell that like when I smell it.

1505
01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:04.600
My first thought is like, h did something die like

1506
01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:07.359
a really long time ago, and I just now found it,

1507
01:26:07.880 --> 01:26:10.840
you know, like not that like not a stench that

1508
01:26:11.039 --> 01:26:14.600
like of like rotting, but like this like old bad

1509
01:26:14.640 --> 01:26:18.359
smell that I'm just like, oh god, what what happened? What?

1510
01:26:19.000 --> 01:26:21.800
How did I just notice the smell? Yeah, it's gross, dude.

1511
01:26:22.319 --> 01:26:24.039
My favorite part was when we were moving them into

1512
01:26:24.079 --> 01:26:26.119
the house. Rachel just handed them to me to take

1513
01:26:26.159 --> 01:26:28.079
to the backyard and didn't mention they're coded in like

1514
01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:31.279
severe stink. So after I set them down, I smelled

1515
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:32.600
my hands. I was like, oh my god, what the

1516
01:26:32.840 --> 01:26:35.239
what is this? What happened? And then I told her.

1517
01:26:35.239 --> 01:26:37.479
She's like, oh, it's just coded in this special stink,

1518
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:41.239
and I was like, oh, hey, thanks for that. He's up.

1519
01:26:41.239 --> 01:26:45.760
I'm gonna go wash my hands for twenty five minutes. Regardless,

1520
01:26:45.760 --> 01:26:50.439
the agency discourages people from feeding wildlife. Raccoons, for example,

1521
01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:54.359
can carry diseases, and food can also attract predators such

1522
01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:59.439
as coyotes and bears. According to Meyer. Yeah Meyer said

1523
01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:02.439
an agency wildlife conflict specialist has met with the woman

1524
01:27:02.479 --> 01:27:05.279
who has stopped feeding the critters. Has she tried saying

1525
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:08.119
in a very heavy tone, like, get leave my home,

1526
01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:10.039
respect my family.

1527
01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:13.760
You know, I mean, you know she hasn't Yeah, probably not.

1528
01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:17.880
Quote. The raccoons appear to have started dispersing now that

1529
01:27:17.960 --> 01:27:20.640
they no longer are being fed, and we are glad

1530
01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:27.079
for a positive outcome in this case, Meyer wrote, So, yeah,

1531
01:27:27.119 --> 01:27:30.680
don't feed the raccoons, yo, Yeah, just don't.

1532
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:34.439
Yeah, And I mean why did the population balloon?

1533
01:27:34.520 --> 01:27:34.680
Well?

1534
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:37.239
They probably finally you probably finally had a couple of

1535
01:27:37.319 --> 01:27:39.800
raccoons that told all the other raccoons and then they

1536
01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:40.520
all can Yeah.

1537
01:27:41.239 --> 01:27:44.680
Yeah, I mean raccoons they're like they like have sewing

1538
01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:45.600
circles basically.

1539
01:27:45.960 --> 01:27:47.159
Yeah. Yeah.

1540
01:27:47.640 --> 01:27:49.359
You ever look at a raccoon and go that raccoon

1541
01:27:49.399 --> 01:27:54.760
is a yenta Like that's that right there, that raccoon.

1542
01:27:55.399 --> 01:28:01.199
No, to be fair, I don't have any raccoons, so no,

1543
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:02.359
let's keep it that way.

1544
01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:05.720
We have some. We really gophers are our problem, and

1545
01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:08.239
that's finally starting to dissipate some. I don't know why,

1546
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:13.880
but thank goodness, Yeah, thank you goodness, because I really

1547
01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:16.239
didn't want to poison them, like I really didn't want

1548
01:28:16.279 --> 01:28:21.000
to at all. So yeah, all right, we got one

1549
01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:23.399
more piece of spooky news and then we're gonna talk

1550
01:28:23.439 --> 01:28:28.520
about the topic of tonight. I'm uh yeah, I'm excited.

1551
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:31.359
I'm honestly really excited because, like I'm I one thing.

1552
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:33.960
No matter how tired I get doing this podcast and

1553
01:28:34.039 --> 01:28:36.920
working and YadA YadA, I do get to basically celebrate

1554
01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:40.439
Halloween every time I hit record. I do love that

1555
01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:42.760
because Halloween has been one of my favorite times of

1556
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:47.000
year for my whole life. So anyway, from mirror dot

1557
01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:50.079
co dot UK, I collect haunted dolls. But one of

1558
01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:52.039
them reaped havoc and scratched me.

1559
01:28:53.279 --> 01:28:57.720
Is it the same thing as the raccoon thing? Fucking like,

1560
01:28:57.840 --> 01:28:58.720
this is your fault?

1561
01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:01.760
Stop thinking the creepy haunted doll?

1562
01:29:02.279 --> 01:29:03.680
Yeah?

1563
01:29:04.039 --> 01:29:09.600
This paranormal. The article starts with this paranormal minded woman

1564
01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:15.640
has revealed her collection of fourteen haunted dolls, which can

1565
01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:23.279
occasionally quote reek havoc. Hannah Rose, twenty, while very young

1566
01:29:23.319 --> 01:29:26.479
to have that many haunted dolls, has been obsessed with

1567
01:29:26.560 --> 01:29:30.560
everything paranormal since she was just eleven years old wow,

1568
01:29:31.479 --> 01:29:34.800
after she saw her first ghost. Since then, she decided

1569
01:29:34.840 --> 01:29:39.439
to make her life passion caring for her dolls. Does not?

1570
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:40.239
Does this not?

1571
01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:43.880
Okay? Yeah, I gotta get you a haunted doll one

1572
01:29:43.880 --> 01:29:44.359
of these days.

1573
01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:46.560
No, I didn't even want to railar doll.

1574
01:29:48.800 --> 01:29:52.439
We'll see. However, that isn't as easy as it sounds.

1575
01:29:52.640 --> 01:29:55.920
She says they can sometimes wreak havoc with one of

1576
01:29:55.920 --> 01:29:59.399
her dolls, even scratching her arm, but they fortunately made

1577
01:29:59.479 --> 01:30:00.319
up soon after.

1578
01:30:01.199 --> 01:30:03.279
I'm gonna cry, you don't know.

1579
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:05.520
My haunted doll like I know him. He loves me.

1580
01:30:05.960 --> 01:30:09.680
He's not trying to hurt me. Hannah from West Yorkshire.

1581
01:30:09.680 --> 01:30:12.960
Of course, brit Sorry, British people. Our numbers are like

1582
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:16.479
way up in England during Halloween and I I have

1583
01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:20.000
British friends friends in the United Kingdom. I'm sorry I

1584
01:30:20.119 --> 01:30:23.319
pick on them so much. Oh my goodness. Quote. I

1585
01:30:23.359 --> 01:30:25.880
have been scratched by Louise one of her dolls, but

1586
01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:30.239
we made up after a communication session. Activity really fluctuates.

1587
01:30:30.439 --> 01:30:33.399
Sometimes they can be so quiet and other times they

1588
01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:37.479
wreak havoc. Mildred particularly likes to hide important things like

1589
01:30:37.520 --> 01:30:41.680
my house keys or makeup or insulin. No, she gonna

1590
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:46.239
geez which she said she likes to hide important things playfully.

1591
01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:50.720
I was just like, ah, yes, like your pills quote.

1592
01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:53.079
I definitely intend to keep all of them as long

1593
01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:56.239
as I live and collect more, I really believe these

1594
01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:59.199
spirits are deserving of understanding homes, and I feel as

1595
01:30:59.199 --> 01:31:01.520
though this is what I was born to do as

1596
01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:06.560
a psychic medium. Oh so what what? What's that about Shelle?

1597
01:31:07.000 --> 01:31:10.000
Like, that's actually really sweet that.

1598
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:12.920
She's like tormenting these poor ghosts by keeping them.

1599
01:31:13.119 --> 01:31:16.560
No, that she's giving them homes because they're so sad.

1600
01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:22.720
Here's a clown doll that she has. Yeah, are clowns

1601
01:31:22.760 --> 01:31:23.720
something that freaks you out?

1602
01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:24.760
Yeah?

1603
01:31:25.079 --> 01:31:27.720
Onle me, hold on, where's the pit pen clown?

1604
01:31:28.479 --> 01:31:28.720
No?

1605
01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:29.720
What?

1606
01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:35.760
What? What? No? I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing.

1607
01:31:36.720 --> 01:31:40.920
And there's a picture of her holding a doll, So

1608
01:31:41.199 --> 01:31:43.199
I think that's all the photos. But I mean, she

1609
01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:45.239
just looks like kind of an average young girl. She's

1610
01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:47.960
got tattoo of a doll on her arm that I noticed.

1611
01:31:48.359 --> 01:31:48.560
Yeah.

1612
01:31:50.880 --> 01:31:53.600
When Hannah was just seven years old, she encountered her

1613
01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:56.840
first paranormal experience, seeing her first ghost, and she hasn't

1614
01:31:56.880 --> 01:32:00.439
stopped seeing them ever since. As a teen, she then

1615
01:32:00.479 --> 01:32:03.479
found out that her mum can also see spirits and

1616
01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:06.760
now believes that the gift of sight could be genetic.

1617
01:32:07.560 --> 01:32:10.479
That makes sense if it was real wouldn't.

1618
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:12.319
It be spiritual and not genetic? I mean genetic would

1619
01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:15.119
be related to genes, but I mean isn't wouldn't there

1620
01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:20.520
also be a spiritual element to being like someone's daughter? Whatever. However,

1621
01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:24.880
as she as she got older, she then started to

1622
01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:28.520
learn about haunted items and began finding out about haunted dolls,

1623
01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:31.319
and it didn't take long for her to realize her

1624
01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:34.520
new calling. After p oh man, you're gonna love this, Chell,

1625
01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:37.960
because years ago on our first podcast we read haunted

1626
01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:41.479
items eBay listings on this show is awkward and we

1627
01:32:41.560 --> 01:32:43.479
had a great time. That is super fun.

1628
01:32:44.079 --> 01:32:45.159
Yeah.

1629
01:32:45.439 --> 01:32:50.079
After purchasing her first haunted doll on eBay, named Catherine,

1630
01:32:50.319 --> 01:32:52.600
she decided that she wanted to try and help as

1631
01:32:52.640 --> 01:32:56.319
many of them as possible. She does that by cleaning

1632
01:32:56.319 --> 01:32:58.680
them up, giving them someone to talk to via her

1633
01:32:58.680 --> 01:33:03.319
specialized paranormal equip and just genuinely making sure that they're okay.

1634
01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:10.199
So one thing, Yes, I think that they probably need

1635
01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:12.680
someone to talk to this not just some kid. So

1636
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:16.279
I think she should get like them like therapists, and

1637
01:33:16.319 --> 01:33:19.680
then she should be the medium between them, right.

1638
01:33:20.000 --> 01:33:24.039
Okay, So yeah, yeah, I think we should just send

1639
01:33:24.079 --> 01:33:26.000
them straight to your house, you got.

1640
01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:29.520
Room, No, but I'm not a therapist or a medium.

1641
01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:35.920
Probably, However, sometimes that doesn't go to plan. Hannah's scratch

1642
01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:38.600
experience came when she was speaking to her doll Louise,

1643
01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:41.800
about her life experiences, when she then looked down to

1644
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:45.199
see a mark on her arm. Fortunately, the pair managed

1645
01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:47.079
to talk it out and now have made up. Now

1646
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:50.560
Louise remains happily with the other thirteen dollars in the collection.

1647
01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:53.399
The psychic medium hopes to care for these dolls for

1648
01:33:53.439 --> 01:33:56.000
the remainder of her days, and even aims to add

1649
01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:59.239
to her collection at some point. She feels she was

1650
01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:02.199
born to do this, and real quick, here's a picture

1651
01:34:02.199 --> 01:34:03.960
of a pile of haunted dolls.

1652
01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:06.359
Yeah, and there's that girl again.

1653
01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:08.279
Yep.

1654
01:34:07.760 --> 01:34:12.800
So I think that when she dies she should possess

1655
01:34:12.800 --> 01:34:13.319
a doll.

1656
01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:18.560
Too, well, clearly, yeah, I mean that would only make sense. Yeah.

1657
01:34:18.600 --> 01:34:20.880
So we're going to take a quick break and we're

1658
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:24.239
going to come back with our topic of tonight, which

1659
01:34:24.279 --> 01:34:27.640
is actually kind of three topics. I want to dive

1660
01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:30.600
into some elements of Halloween that I've always found really

1661
01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:32.840
interesting and something that I'd read about when I was

1662
01:34:32.880 --> 01:34:34.960
a kid that may turn out to be more true

1663
01:34:35.560 --> 01:34:38.600
than myths. So we'll get to that right after this,

1664
01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:51.800
and we're back talking about Halloween facts that seem like

1665
01:34:51.920 --> 01:34:56.600
fiction or maybe vice versa. So I picked three things

1666
01:34:56.640 --> 01:35:00.520
that I've always heard about Halloween or equated with Halloween

1667
01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:03.960
that I wanted to learn a little bit more about. Okay,

1668
01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:07.439
So this first one I ended up when I was

1669
01:35:07.439 --> 01:35:10.720
looking for sources, I ended up going with Snopes. Okay,

1670
01:35:11.760 --> 01:35:14.520
because this is something I've heard for years and years

1671
01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:17.119
that turns out to be a bit more true than not.

1672
01:35:19.199 --> 01:35:22.760
And this is a fact check. Was a suicide mistaken

1673
01:35:23.159 --> 01:35:29.640
for Halloween decoration? Oh? Turns out there have been more

1674
01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:34.239
than one example of dead bodies being mistaken for Halloween decorations.

1675
01:35:34.760 --> 01:35:35.920
I mean, I believe it.

1676
01:35:37.600 --> 01:35:42.439
Claim bodies of suicide victims have been mistaken for Halloween decorations.

1677
01:35:42.720 --> 01:35:47.920
Rating true if you were so. Oh yeah, it's the

1678
01:35:47.960 --> 01:35:52.920
Suicide Hotline preventsion. A few decades ago, Halloween decor amounted

1679
01:35:52.920 --> 01:35:55.239
to a loan jack o' lantern left grinning in a

1680
01:35:55.279 --> 01:35:59.079
home's window as a welcome to trigger treaters. More recently,

1681
01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:01.239
that aspect of the end will candy grab has been

1682
01:36:01.279 --> 01:36:05.359
elevated to dizzying displays of orchestrated spectacle, even as the

1683
01:36:05.359 --> 01:36:08.159
door to dooring of costume tykes has dwindled to the

1684
01:36:08.199 --> 01:36:11.520
merest trickle in some areas. My area is packed with kids.

1685
01:36:12.119 --> 01:36:12.840
Yeah, I know it is.

1686
01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:16.439
It's awesome, and everybody else seems to have the opposite problem.

1687
01:36:16.439 --> 01:36:19.640
But my neighborhood is like kids Central. They all want candy.

1688
01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:21.359
Oh, mine's pretty good.

1689
01:36:22.079 --> 01:36:23.199
Good, I'm glad.

1690
01:36:23.600 --> 01:36:23.680
Now.

1691
01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:25.520
I love handing out candy. Do you have a favorite

1692
01:36:25.560 --> 01:36:32.760
candy you like to hand out? No, I promised myself

1693
01:36:32.840 --> 01:36:35.079
next year I'm finally gonna do it and hand out

1694
01:36:35.079 --> 01:36:38.880
full sized candy bars. Okay, I almost did it this year,

1695
01:36:38.920 --> 01:36:42.600
but money's a little tight after the move and everything.

1696
01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.760
But next year I should absolutely be able to afford

1697
01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:47.880
to hand out full sized candy bars. Even found a

1698
01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:52.359
bulk candy supplier so I can buy boxes of them myself.

1699
01:36:52.399 --> 01:36:55.680
My cousin, he gives out full sized candy bars every year.

1700
01:36:56.560 --> 01:36:59.960
Cool, I mean, so sorry, No, it's okay.

1701
01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:03.680
Oh well, so in Penance, I give out handfuls of

1702
01:37:03.720 --> 01:37:06.640
the Halloween candy though. I just like I just fill

1703
01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:08.399
their bags. I love the looks on their face when

1704
01:37:08.399 --> 01:37:13.319
I drop a handful into one bag. It's awesome. Plus

1705
01:37:13.399 --> 01:37:15.439
it's nice because it rewards the you know, the kids

1706
01:37:15.439 --> 01:37:19.319
who are out early are the younger ones. And while

1707
01:37:19.359 --> 01:37:21.960
I don't discriminate, like if you're an older kid, if

1708
01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:23.960
you're not wearing a costume, you're still getting candy at

1709
01:37:23.960 --> 01:37:26.680
my door. I do like to give the younger ones

1710
01:37:26.680 --> 01:37:29.119
a big handful of candy because it's not like they

1711
01:37:29.279 --> 01:37:30.960
it's a special time for them. It's not like they

1712
01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:32.800
can go out and buy candy. You know, it's just like,

1713
01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:36.000
you know, I favor them a little bit more, just

1714
01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:38.560
a little bit, well, because I'm handing out handfuls, and

1715
01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:40.159
then if I look at the clock and there's thirty

1716
01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:42.000
minutes left in trigger retreat, I might have to slow

1717
01:37:42.039 --> 01:37:45.199
down how much I'm giving out, you know, yeah, because

1718
01:37:45.319 --> 01:37:47.840
every year I end up, but usually I don't have to.

1719
01:37:47.880 --> 01:37:51.399
Every year, I always over buy Halloween candy. Yeah, yeah,

1720
01:37:51.479 --> 01:37:58.640
so much Halloween candy. So anyway, lost my spot. The

1721
01:37:58.680 --> 01:38:01.960
more sedate homeowners unbend enough to set out a plastic

1722
01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:05.840
skuller to or festoon their property shrubbery with fake cobwebs,

1723
01:38:06.239 --> 01:38:09.640
but they're more exuberant neighbors to go whole hog with

1724
01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:13.720
the spooks and gore, strewing a coffin here, a skeleton there,

1725
01:38:13.760 --> 01:38:17.640
and hanging a man somewhere or other. It is that

1726
01:38:17.720 --> 01:38:20.399
last bit which has contributed to an occurrence of the

1727
01:38:20.399 --> 01:38:24.159
most macabre sort. Having become accustomed to over the top

1728
01:38:24.199 --> 01:38:28.159
Halloween ornamentation and even inured to it. In October two

1729
01:38:28.159 --> 01:38:33.039
thousand and five, passerbys mistook a suicide by hanging for

1730
01:38:33.119 --> 01:38:38.119
a fright night prop. That's rough, well, and I believe

1731
01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:41.079
they have and they have examples. They added more examples.

1732
01:38:41.119 --> 01:38:43.119
This article was originally written in two thousand and five,

1733
01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:46.039
so they don't cover every single example, but they cover

1734
01:38:46.119 --> 01:38:48.720
a few, and they only cover the suicide. There were

1735
01:38:48.720 --> 01:38:51.039
also one where somebody had a heart attack on their

1736
01:38:51.079 --> 01:38:53.800
porch and thought it was oh wait, no, it wasn't

1737
01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:55.920
a porch. He laid face down in his yard and

1738
01:38:55.960 --> 01:38:58.439
people thought it was a dummy because it was Halloween.

1739
01:39:01.720 --> 01:39:04.680
On October twenty sixth, two thousand and five, the corpse

1740
01:39:04.680 --> 01:39:06.720
of forty two year old woman of a forty two

1741
01:39:06.760 --> 01:39:09.079
year old woman was left suspended in public view for

1742
01:39:09.199 --> 01:39:13.680
hours in Frederica, Delaware because her lifeless body what.

1743
01:39:14.039 --> 01:39:16.439
Oh, just Delaware, Yeah, Delaware.

1744
01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:18.359
You'd expect that from Delaware.

1745
01:39:18.520 --> 01:39:19.800
No, it's just very close by.

1746
01:39:22.279 --> 01:39:25.239
Her lifeless body was assumed to be yet another Halloween display.

1747
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:28.960
The unnamed woman hung herself from a tree located across

1748
01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:32.920
a moderately busy road from some homes. Her body, suspended

1749
01:39:32.920 --> 01:39:35.600
about fifteen feet above the ground, could easily be seen

1750
01:39:35.680 --> 01:39:42.079
from passing vehicles. Wow State Police spokesman Jeff Oldham and

1751
01:39:42.199 --> 01:39:45.159
neighbors said people noticed the body around seven point thirty

1752
01:39:45.199 --> 01:39:48.880
that morning, but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities

1753
01:39:48.960 --> 01:39:52.000
arrived at the scene at or at eleven to begin

1754
01:39:52.119 --> 01:39:55.199
yeah to begin the process of examining the scene and

1755
01:39:55.239 --> 01:39:58.600
removing the body. The deceased lived about a quarter mile

1756
01:39:58.640 --> 01:40:04.840
from where the body was discover Similarly, in mid October

1757
01:40:04.880 --> 01:40:07.680
of two thousand and nine, the decomposing body of a

1758
01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:10.960
seventy five year old suicide victim sat undisturbed on the

1759
01:40:11.000 --> 01:40:14.680
balcony of the deceased home in Marina del Rey, California,

1760
01:40:14.720 --> 01:40:19.279
for several days before neighbors assumed Because neighbors assumed it

1761
01:40:19.319 --> 01:40:22.039
was merely part of a Halloween display.

1762
01:40:23.239 --> 01:40:25.800
Like so, the first one told the understand that was

1763
01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:28.560
like not very many hours for people to be like

1764
01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:32.359
huh and then they're like, oh, but can you imagine

1765
01:40:32.399 --> 01:40:34.439
if you were one of those people who saw the

1766
01:40:34.479 --> 01:40:36.520
body like three days ago and thought it was a

1767
01:40:36.520 --> 01:40:38.840
display and it was just there the whole time, and

1768
01:40:38.880 --> 01:40:40.920
then you find out that it was the dead your

1769
01:40:41.000 --> 01:40:41.880
dead neighbor.

1770
01:40:42.840 --> 01:40:45.840
There have been stories two of real human bodies being

1771
01:40:46.600 --> 01:40:51.680
Halloween decorations on a spook show in California. M hm,

1772
01:40:52.119 --> 01:41:02.520
real dead body spook show. Uh. I can't find the

1773
01:41:03.079 --> 01:41:05.640
I've always heard that like that happened, but maybe, but

1774
01:41:05.680 --> 01:41:07.720
I'm not finding the research and I didn't. I didn't.

1775
01:41:07.880 --> 01:41:12.880
I wasn't really planning on talking about that specifically. Yeah.

1776
01:41:13.079 --> 01:41:16.000
So this person, he was slumped over a chair on

1777
01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:18.720
the third floor balcony of his apartment in Bora Bora Way,

1778
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:22.319
said cameraman Austin Reichbrook, who was on the scene when

1779
01:41:22.319 --> 01:41:25.840
authorities were alerted to the body. He Uh, he had

1780
01:41:26.039 --> 01:41:29.319
he was dead with a single gunshot wound to one eye.

1781
01:41:29.680 --> 01:41:37.000
Oh jeez, three days wow. Neighbors told Rachbrook that they

1782
01:41:37.159 --> 01:41:39.760
noticed the body three days earlier but didn't bother calling

1783
01:41:39.800 --> 01:41:43.039
authorities because it looked like a Halloween dummy. He said.

1784
01:41:43.880 --> 01:41:46.119
The body was in plain view of the entire apartment

1785
01:41:46.159 --> 01:41:49.560
complex and they all didn't do anything. It's very strange.

1786
01:41:49.600 --> 01:41:51.520
It did look unreal, to be honest.

1787
01:41:53.399 --> 01:41:56.800
Yeah, I would have called the police sooner maybe or

1788
01:41:56.840 --> 01:41:59.880
maybe not. If a whole apartment complex didn't Why would

1789
01:41:59.880 --> 01:42:01.479
I be the person that did so?

1790
01:42:02.920 --> 01:42:09.159
Yeah, I don't know. Man. I wish I could find

1791
01:42:09.159 --> 01:42:11.880
that dead body thing that that made me go like, wait,

1792
01:42:11.920 --> 01:42:16.119
where was that dead body in carnival?

1793
01:42:17.760 --> 01:42:19.079
Are you gonna get weird stuff?

1794
01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:22.640
Oh? Here it is. The mummified body of Elmer J.

1795
01:42:22.840 --> 01:42:26.399
McCurdy was discovered in a Long Beach, California funhouse during

1796
01:42:26.439 --> 01:42:29.520
a film shoot in nineteen seventy six. Mccurty was an

1797
01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:32.000
American outlaw who was killed in a shootout with police

1798
01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:35.600
in Oklahoma in nineteen eleven. His body was put on

1799
01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:38.359
display in a funeral home in Oklahoma, then became a

1800
01:42:38.399 --> 01:42:41.399
sideshow attraction in carnivals from the nineteen twenties to the

1801
01:42:41.479 --> 01:42:48.520
nineteen sixties. Wow. Yeah, yeah, so he basically ended up

1802
01:42:49.199 --> 01:42:53.039
in Yeah, he ended up in a his body was

1803
01:42:53.079 --> 01:42:57.279
being torn around basically. Yeah, and let's see, he ended

1804
01:42:57.359 --> 01:43:07.560
up becoming mummified and so holy crap. It mentions they

1805
01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:11.079
lent the film The Corpse to filmmaker David F. Freeman Friedman,

1806
01:43:11.640 --> 01:43:14.600
I know David Friedman. In nineteen sixty eight, Dan sold

1807
01:43:14.600 --> 01:43:17.159
the body, along with other wax figures, to Spooney Singh,

1808
01:43:17.319 --> 01:43:19.920
the owner of the Hollywood Wax Museum. So yeah, the

1809
01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:22.880
body ended up being sold and resold until people didn't

1810
01:43:22.920 --> 01:43:26.520
realize what it was, so they ended up just having

1811
01:43:26.520 --> 01:43:30.880
a real corpse in that show. So that was what

1812
01:43:30.920 --> 01:43:35.439
I was thinking of. Elmer McCurdy. Yeah, oh now, and

1813
01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:37.399
of course now it's easy I'm finding like the slate

1814
01:43:37.520 --> 01:43:41.600
articles and stuff. But yeah, so there have been several

1815
01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:45.840
instances of real human bodies, real human remains, being mistaken

1816
01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:49.920
for spook show decoration. And that's something I always heard

1817
01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:52.159
when I was a kid, Yeah, was that there was

1818
01:43:52.159 --> 01:43:56.600
some neighbor, some house somewhere, you know, it was just

1819
01:43:56.640 --> 01:43:59.399
like the whispers of the house that had the bucket

1820
01:43:59.439 --> 01:44:02.039
of candy that you could take as much as you want,

1821
01:44:02.079 --> 01:44:04.840
not bucket a barrels. There used to be this myth

1822
01:44:04.920 --> 01:44:07.319
that there were these rain barrels full of candy at

1823
01:44:07.319 --> 01:44:09.479
this one house and you could just go and fill

1824
01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:12.600
your bag. Nobody cared because there was so much candy.

1825
01:44:13.359 --> 01:44:15.359
That was a myth. Then there was the myth that, yeah,

1826
01:44:15.399 --> 01:44:17.800
like that, a guy died and people thought he was

1827
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:21.680
his Halloween decoration. I remember all those whispers when I

1828
01:44:21.720 --> 01:44:25.960
was a kid. I kind of live for that ridiculous shit. Yeah,

1829
01:44:26.239 --> 01:44:30.600
love it. But speaking of ridiculous shit, we're gonna take

1830
01:44:30.600 --> 01:44:32.239
a quick break and then we're gonna talk a little

1831
01:44:32.279 --> 01:44:37.680
bit about the Halloween relation to black cats right after

1832
01:44:37.680 --> 01:44:48.600
this and we are back Michelle. Have you ever had

1833
01:44:48.600 --> 01:44:53.479
a black cat cross your path? I mean, yeah, was

1834
01:44:53.520 --> 01:44:54.840
it awesome or was it bad?

1835
01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:57.319
I don't remember. There's so many cats.

1836
01:44:59.439 --> 01:45:04.199
Well, I've been a cat person for a very long time, right, Yeah,

1837
01:45:04.239 --> 01:45:06.479
I guess half cat, half person.

1838
01:45:07.119 --> 01:45:09.439
Yeah, I mean that's what I'm talking about.

1839
01:45:10.239 --> 01:45:12.960
When you were younger, did you hear the stories about

1840
01:45:13.000 --> 01:45:19.159
how some pet stores and shelters would not allow you

1841
01:45:19.239 --> 01:45:22.600
to adopt black or orange cats around Halloween?

1842
01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:25.279
No, I had not heard that.

1843
01:45:26.439 --> 01:45:28.039
If you still had never heard that, or have you

1844
01:45:28.039 --> 01:45:29.279
heard it as an adult.

1845
01:45:29.079 --> 01:45:30.680
No, I've never heard that. The Only thing I've heard

1846
01:45:30.680 --> 01:45:33.359
about black cat is that they get adopted.

1847
01:45:33.039 --> 01:45:38.399
Less well because they're bad luck. But yeah, well that's

1848
01:45:38.439 --> 01:45:42.119
shocking to me. So when I was a kid. I

1849
01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:45.720
remember going to a pet store to buy a hamster

1850
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:49.079
cat with a hamster or a mouse. I can't remember.

1851
01:45:49.359 --> 01:45:50.720
It depends on what age I was, because I had

1852
01:45:50.720 --> 01:45:54.079
mice and I had hamsters. I had rats, not mice.

1853
01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:55.640
I had rats and I had hamsters, but they were

1854
01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:58.960
different times. But we were there picking up some kind

1855
01:45:59.039 --> 01:46:04.880
of rodent for me, and Mom was looking at the

1856
01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:07.279
kitty cats. They had like a big pen of kitty cats,

1857
01:46:07.840 --> 01:46:12.279
little kittens, and my mom was kind of like ogling them.

1858
01:46:12.359 --> 01:46:15.960
But you know, we ended up getting a cat unintentionally.

1859
01:46:16.079 --> 01:46:20.840
She would not adopt one intentionally, so but long story short,

1860
01:46:21.439 --> 01:46:23.119
Mom was looking at them and there was this one

1861
01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:26.279
really cute black cat, and the lady there was like, yeah,

1862
01:46:26.319 --> 01:46:28.479
he's really cute, and she was like, we don't adopt

1863
01:46:28.960 --> 01:46:33.239
black cats during October unfortunately, and my mom was like really,

1864
01:46:33.239 --> 01:46:35.520
and she was like yeah, because people adopt them and

1865
01:46:35.600 --> 01:46:40.520
use them for sacrifices. And the lady said it to

1866
01:46:40.560 --> 01:46:46.159
my mom so nonchalantly, like she really meant it. She

1867
01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:49.439
just said that people used them for sacrifices on Halloween.

1868
01:46:49.479 --> 01:46:53.560
And then I'd heard from another pet place. This is

1869
01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:56.560
when I'm very young, the same thing about orange cats.

1870
01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:59.439
There was orange cats and black cats. They wouldn't sell

1871
01:46:59.479 --> 01:47:03.159
them or or adopt them out at Halloween. And because

1872
01:47:03.199 --> 01:47:07.359
of those urban legends going around, I wanted to take

1873
01:47:07.399 --> 01:47:11.000
a moment to read this piece from Operation Kindness dot org,

1874
01:47:11.720 --> 01:47:16.560
which is an organization for helping pets find homes, which

1875
01:47:16.560 --> 01:47:19.359
I think is really important. I'm a big rescue animal person,

1876
01:47:20.920 --> 01:47:24.000
so I wanted to read this. It's breaking down myths

1877
01:47:24.079 --> 01:47:29.560
about black cats during Halloween. During the Halloween season, black

1878
01:47:29.600 --> 01:47:33.399
cats are everywhere, from decorations to costumes. Black cats are

1879
01:47:33.560 --> 01:47:37.159
symbols of the season. In fact, October twenty seventh is

1880
01:47:37.199 --> 01:47:38.840
even National black Cat Day.

1881
01:47:39.640 --> 01:47:41.439
Happy National black Cat Day.

1882
01:47:42.239 --> 01:47:44.279
Yay is that when the show is The show airs

1883
01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:45.560
that we were airing the day.

1884
01:47:45.439 --> 01:47:48.079
After belated.

1885
01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:53.920
Autumn is the perfect time to celebrate these sweet kitties

1886
01:47:54.319 --> 01:47:59.880
and debunk some urban legends surrounding them. Longtime myths sugject

1887
01:48:00.199 --> 01:48:03.960
suggest black cats are harmed or sacrificed in the months

1888
01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:07.079
leading up to All Hallows Eve. The animal welfare community,

1889
01:48:07.079 --> 01:48:10.119
including the Humane Society of the United States, the SPCA,

1890
01:48:10.199 --> 01:48:13.800
Best Friends, and of course Operation Kindness, vehemently deny and

1891
01:48:13.920 --> 01:48:15.319
debunk these myths.

1892
01:48:15.680 --> 01:48:18.920
Yeah, I think experts on makes sense. Again, Sorry, that

1893
01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:20.319
doesn't It doesn't really make sense.

1894
01:48:20.560 --> 01:48:23.439
So yeah, well it sounds like it. When I heard it,

1895
01:48:23.439 --> 01:48:26.199
which would have been in the mid nineties, it was

1896
01:48:26.279 --> 01:48:30.640
probably left over satanic panic shit. Yeah, yeah, because they

1897
01:48:30.640 --> 01:48:33.960
were like, we have like Frankenstein's Castle or tower or

1898
01:48:34.039 --> 01:48:36.560
Witch's Tower near me, and people used always say like

1899
01:48:36.600 --> 01:48:40.039
people come there with on black robes to do satanic

1900
01:48:40.119 --> 01:48:45.800
masses there and stuff, and it's like, really, okay. Experts

1901
01:48:45.840 --> 01:48:48.720
on cults, animal welfare, and the holiday itself, I like

1902
01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:53.479
to think that that's like one specific expertise. Experts on cults,

1903
01:48:53.479 --> 01:48:57.159
animal welfare, and the holiday of Halloween have repeatedly found

1904
01:48:57.159 --> 01:49:01.319
that there are quote no confirmed statistics cases or studies

1905
01:49:01.359 --> 01:49:04.960
to support the idea that serious satanic cult crime even

1906
01:49:05.039 --> 01:49:11.600
exists exactly, according to a study by National Geographic Additionally,

1907
01:49:11.600 --> 01:49:15.520
according to cat rescue organization ALI Cat Allies, quote, black

1908
01:49:15.520 --> 01:49:18.319
cats are in no more danger on Halloween than any

1909
01:49:18.359 --> 01:49:19.479
other time of the year.

1910
01:49:20.239 --> 01:49:21.840
Oh, they're always in danger.

1911
01:49:22.840 --> 01:49:27.840
Now. I I will point out one thing I heard

1912
01:49:27.920 --> 01:49:30.640
years and years later, like maybe just ten years ago,

1913
01:49:31.039 --> 01:49:34.359
was that black cats get adopted out at Halloween and

1914
01:49:34.399 --> 01:49:38.399
people think they want them because they think they'll like

1915
01:49:38.439 --> 01:49:43.920
the esthetic, and that sometimes they get returned or abandoned. Yeah,

1916
01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:45.760
but I mean, I don't even know. I don't even

1917
01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:47.000
know that that's true, but I've heard that.

1918
01:49:47.479 --> 01:49:49.800
Yeah, I mean that would be hard to because people

1919
01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:55.760
abandon and return cats all the time for.

1920
01:49:54.239 --> 01:49:57.560
For being defective. This one meows, what the hell? Yeah,

1921
01:49:58.039 --> 01:49:58.520
I want to win.

1922
01:49:58.560 --> 01:49:59.880
That barks rumbling sound.

1923
01:50:03.760 --> 01:50:06.840
At Operation Kindness, we strongly support the adoption of black

1924
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:10.680
cats during the spooky season. Quote. Black cats can take

1925
01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:13.239
longer to be adopted, especially around Halloween, due to the

1926
01:50:13.279 --> 01:50:17.680
influence of superstition and unfounded fears, said Ed Jamison, CEO

1927
01:50:17.760 --> 01:50:21.159
at Operation Kindness. Yet they are some of the kindest

1928
01:50:21.199 --> 01:50:23.600
creatures we have the opportunity to care for at the shelter.

1929
01:50:24.039 --> 01:50:26.359
The season might be spooky, but our animals are full

1930
01:50:26.359 --> 01:50:29.079
of love and affection. This holiday season, we look forward

1931
01:50:29.119 --> 01:50:33.800
to finding homes for every pet, especially black cats. Hey,

1932
01:50:34.439 --> 01:50:38.039
that's really sweet. Rumors and tales of sacrifices and abuse

1933
01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:41.520
perpetuate in accuracies about adoption, preventing black cats and even

1934
01:50:41.600 --> 01:50:45.000
those with orange coats, from finding a loving family. We

1935
01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:47.520
believe in adopting all animals year round to give them

1936
01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:51.760
the best possible life. So I just wanted to mention

1937
01:50:51.800 --> 01:50:54.600
that because I do think that that's important. Operation Kindness

1938
01:50:54.640 --> 01:50:57.960
is one of many great organizations to help animals, and

1939
01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:02.319
if you do anything this year help a rescue animal,

1940
01:51:02.560 --> 01:51:06.199
you can consider it a personal gift to me. So,

1941
01:51:06.239 --> 01:51:09.279
speaking of animals and Halloween, this one is a bit

1942
01:51:09.319 --> 01:51:13.239
of a departure. But something else I always think of

1943
01:51:13.279 --> 01:51:17.880
at Halloween time is the legend of Sleepy Hollow, the

1944
01:51:17.920 --> 01:51:21.960
Headless Horseman, the Dula Han as it's called. In fact,

1945
01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:24.520
at the Haunted House. I went to the Brimstone Haunt.

1946
01:51:24.560 --> 01:51:27.399
Hopefully I'll go to another one here before Halloween hits.

1947
01:51:27.640 --> 01:51:29.279
But I went to the Brimstone Haunt. They had a

1948
01:51:29.319 --> 01:51:33.680
headless horseman. Wow, a guy riding on a horse with

1949
01:51:33.880 --> 01:51:38.359
a human head jack o' lantern in his hands rode

1950
01:51:38.359 --> 01:51:40.039
by and like showed it to us.

1951
01:51:40.560 --> 01:51:41.840
That's nice of him.

1952
01:51:42.239 --> 01:51:44.800
It was nice. It's so cool. So I wanted to

1953
01:51:44.800 --> 01:51:46.960
do a little bit of a dive into the headless

1954
01:51:46.960 --> 01:51:50.560
Horseman because I find it very interesting that there is

1955
01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:54.520
a long standing tradition of stories about horsemen with no heads.

1956
01:51:56.560 --> 01:51:59.439
So we're gonna, of course go to the epitome of

1957
01:51:59.520 --> 01:52:05.239
all accurate and factual knowledge. Wikipedia to do a little

1958
01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:09.359
dive about the Headless Horseman. So do you remember the

1959
01:52:09.399 --> 01:52:12.000
first time you either heard of the Headless Horseman or

1960
01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:15.079
watched or read the legend of Sleepy Hollow or anything

1961
01:52:15.119 --> 01:52:15.399
like that.

1962
01:52:15.960 --> 01:52:18.159
No, it's I don't. I mean, I don't have a

1963
01:52:18.199 --> 01:52:21.279
particular memory of it, but I mean it's it was

1964
01:52:21.479 --> 01:52:25.359
a long time ago, obviously, sure as a young child.

1965
01:52:26.239 --> 01:52:31.399
Possibly is different like a Disney take, Yes, and that

1966
01:52:31.399 --> 01:52:32.800
would have been in Yeah.

1967
01:52:32.680 --> 01:52:35.640
Yep, that's what I saw first too. Yeah, it's good.

1968
01:52:35.680 --> 01:52:38.159
It's good. There's also like a lower budget one. I'll

1969
01:52:38.159 --> 01:52:39.479
try and find a link and send it to you.

1970
01:52:39.560 --> 01:52:41.920
It's not very long. I actually own a sixteen millimeter

1971
01:52:42.039 --> 01:52:45.720
print of it. Whoa, because I found one cheap on

1972
01:52:45.880 --> 01:52:48.800
eBay and bought it. I've only watched it once. It

1973
01:52:48.840 --> 01:52:52.920
has vinegar syndrome really bad. That means it smells like vinegar.

1974
01:52:53.560 --> 01:52:56.000
It's a sign that this film was not stored properly.

1975
01:52:56.439 --> 01:52:57.479
Oh it's interesting.

1976
01:52:58.079 --> 01:53:03.279
Yeah, so it starts to smell vinegary and it turns purple. Yay. Yeah,

1977
01:53:03.439 --> 01:53:05.720
you can kind of fix that if you're scanning it.

1978
01:53:05.760 --> 01:53:08.680
But when you're watching it, it's just purple. In fact,

1979
01:53:08.720 --> 01:53:11.119
I once saw a screening of The Blob, the original

1980
01:53:11.279 --> 01:53:14.479
black and white Blob, or was it way. It doesn't

1981
01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:18.159
matter because it was all purple, and the joke they

1982
01:53:18.199 --> 01:53:22.319
made was that it was in Blob vision, but in

1983
01:53:22.359 --> 01:53:25.680
reality it was just purple. The headless horseman is an

1984
01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:29.960
archetype of mythical figure that has appeared in folklore around

1985
01:53:29.960 --> 01:53:33.439
Europe since the Middle Ages. The figures are traditionally depicted

1986
01:53:33.479 --> 01:53:36.439
as riders upon horseback who are missing their heads. These

1987
01:53:36.479 --> 01:53:39.119
myths have inspired a number of stories and characters in

1988
01:53:39.159 --> 01:53:44.079
popular culture, including the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Depending on

1989
01:53:44.119 --> 01:53:46.520
the legend, the horseman is either carrying his own head

1990
01:53:46.680 --> 01:53:50.039
or is missing his head altogether and maybe searching for it.

1991
01:53:50.560 --> 01:53:54.199
Famous examples of include the Dula Hand from Ireland, who

1992
01:53:54.239 --> 01:53:57.319
is a demonic fairy usually depicted riding a horse and

1993
01:53:57.399 --> 01:54:00.560
carrying his own head under his arm, and the Legend

1994
01:54:00.640 --> 01:54:03.159
of Sleepy Hollow, a short story written in eighteen twenty

1995
01:54:03.319 --> 01:54:06.920
by American writer Washington Irving, which has been adapted into

1996
01:54:06.960 --> 01:54:09.520
several other works of literature and film, including the nineteen

1997
01:54:09.600 --> 01:54:12.680
forty nine Disney animated film The Adventures of Ichabod and

1998
01:54:12.720 --> 01:54:16.000
Mister Toad and the nineteen ninety nine Tim Burton film

1999
01:54:16.199 --> 01:54:20.720
Sleepy Hollow. I actually need to give Burton's film Sleepy

2000
01:54:20.760 --> 01:54:22.760
Hollow another chance. It was playing in a theater but

2001
01:54:22.800 --> 01:54:26.399
I missed it during the season. But I need to

2002
01:54:26.399 --> 01:54:27.600
give it another chance. When I was a kid, I

2003
01:54:27.600 --> 01:54:28.880
didn't like it that much. But I didn't like Tim

2004
01:54:28.920 --> 01:54:31.000
Burton very much when I was a kid. Yeah, except

2005
01:54:31.000 --> 01:54:34.279
for Batman and ed Wood, those were my favorite movies.

2006
01:54:34.359 --> 01:54:37.119
Like ever, that's this cruel irony of me and Tim Burton.

2007
01:54:37.159 --> 01:54:39.000
I'm like, I don't like his movies except two of them,

2008
01:54:39.079 --> 01:54:41.399
oh and Edwards Scissorhands. Like except there are three of

2009
01:54:41.439 --> 01:54:42.960
them that I think are like the best movies ever.

2010
01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:47.399
But otherwise I don't like his movies. Yeah, So let's

2011
01:54:47.439 --> 01:54:50.680
talk about Irish folklore. The doula Han or doula Han

2012
01:54:51.159 --> 01:54:54.399
dark man is what that means ah dark man is

2013
01:54:54.399 --> 01:54:57.039
a headless demonic fairy, usually riding a horse, carrying his

2014
01:54:57.039 --> 01:54:59.119
head under his arm. Some versions of the story claim

2015
01:54:59.159 --> 01:55:01.720
the doula Han is the spirit of crom Dub, a

2016
01:55:02.039 --> 01:55:05.079
Celtic god worshiped in Ireland until the arrival of Christian

2017
01:55:05.119 --> 01:55:08.880
missionaries in the sixth century. He wields a whip made

2018
01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:10.800
from a human corpse's spine.

2019
01:55:11.359 --> 01:55:12.279
Cool.

2020
01:55:12.720 --> 01:55:16.880
Yeah. When the doulahan stops riding, a death occurs, the

2021
01:55:16.920 --> 01:55:19.359
doulahan calls out a name, at which point the named

2022
01:55:19.399 --> 01:55:24.159
person immediately dies. In another version, he is the headless

2023
01:55:24.239 --> 01:55:28.960
driver of a black carriage the Koiste Bodhar. I don't

2024
01:55:29.039 --> 01:55:33.199
speak Gaelic, so it's gonna be really bad. A similar

2025
01:55:33.199 --> 01:55:37.800
figure that Goan Sien or Kian has can be frightened

2026
01:55:37.840 --> 01:55:40.520
away by wearing a gold object or putting one in

2027
01:55:40.560 --> 01:55:44.000
his path. There are a lot of where gold or silver,

2028
01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:47.640
you know, kind of scares himway, we're gonna take a

2029
01:55:47.720 --> 01:55:50.520
quick break and then we'll dive even deeper into the

2030
01:55:50.520 --> 01:56:03.680
headless Horseman. Right after this, all right, we're back talking

2031
01:56:03.760 --> 01:56:07.479
all about the legend of the headless Horseman, and more

2032
01:56:07.520 --> 01:56:11.319
so the horseman legends of the rest of the world,

2033
01:56:11.880 --> 01:56:16.119
mostly Europe. In Scottish folklore, the most prominent tale of

2034
01:56:16.199 --> 01:56:20.159
the Headless Horseman concerns a man named Ewan decapitated in

2035
01:56:20.159 --> 01:56:23.880
a clan battle at Glen Canear on the island of mull.

2036
01:56:24.359 --> 01:56:26.880
The battle denied him any chance to be a chieftain

2037
01:56:27.279 --> 01:56:29.760
and both he and his horse are headless in accounts

2038
01:56:29.760 --> 01:56:32.800
of his haunting of the area. Wow, so that one

2039
01:56:32.840 --> 01:56:34.239
the horse also has no head.

2040
01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:35.680
That's kind of cool.

2041
01:56:36.640 --> 01:56:39.159
Yeah, and weird. Like I'd be like, what is that?

2042
01:56:39.279 --> 01:56:43.800
Is that a Is that a alpaca? I guess it's

2043
01:56:44.399 --> 01:56:44.920
a horse?

2044
01:56:45.520 --> 01:56:48.159
Like weird? Is the where? How far up?

2045
01:56:48.239 --> 01:56:48.560
Is? Like?

2046
01:56:48.640 --> 01:56:50.880
How like? Is the neck gone too? Is it just

2047
01:56:51.000 --> 01:56:52.359
like the head part?

2048
01:56:52.920 --> 01:56:54.680
I would assume it's like right at the base of

2049
01:56:54.680 --> 01:56:57.720
the skull. Otherwise weird.

2050
01:56:58.479 --> 01:56:59.760
It would be weird both ways.

2051
01:57:00.760 --> 01:57:02.920
Yeah, if it had no neck at all, then the

2052
01:57:02.920 --> 01:57:05.439
horseman would just fall right off, you just fling right

2053
01:57:05.479 --> 01:57:06.000
off the front.

2054
01:57:06.319 --> 01:57:09.800
Well, only if he's not paying attention he can stay.

2055
01:57:10.399 --> 01:57:12.359
Well he has no head. How much can you pay attention?

2056
01:57:12.880 --> 01:57:16.560
Oh, it was just gonna be weird for both of them. Really.

2057
01:57:17.680 --> 01:57:22.319
Yeah, it's no good for nobody really. Among the Highland

2058
01:57:22.399 --> 01:57:26.479
Scottish diaspora in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, seeing the image

2059
01:57:26.560 --> 01:57:29.079
or hearing the sound of a horse or headless rider

2060
01:57:29.359 --> 01:57:32.439
is traditionally regarded as an omen of an imminent death

2061
01:57:32.520 --> 01:57:37.199
within the family. Oh, I mean, it doesn't sound like

2062
01:57:37.239 --> 01:57:41.279
a great thing to see a headless horseman. Yeah, so

2063
01:57:41.319 --> 01:57:43.800
now we'll look at Welsh folklore. A number of stories

2064
01:57:43.800 --> 01:57:47.119
of the headless horsemen, horsemen and women are also found

2065
01:57:47.199 --> 01:57:51.640
in their folklore. The few head un penn the English,

2066
01:57:51.640 --> 01:57:54.640
which means the headless woman who rides a I'm not

2067
01:57:54.640 --> 01:57:56.680
even gonna try and say that horse without a head

2068
01:57:57.119 --> 01:58:02.840
Brinn Hall and Lahman. Okay, no, this is not a word.

2069
01:58:04.000 --> 01:58:06.840
This is how it's spelled. L l A n y

2070
01:58:07.079 --> 01:58:13.039
m A w d d wy Wow. See why I

2071
01:58:13.079 --> 01:58:17.800
gave up? Is said to have been haunted by a

2072
01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:20.880
headless horseman, which only came to an end when one

2073
01:58:20.880 --> 01:58:24.079
of the Hall's servants discerned a message from the horseman

2074
01:58:24.159 --> 01:58:28.159
identifying the location of a buried body. The body was

2075
01:58:28.199 --> 01:58:30.479
said to be that of an illegitimate child fathered by

2076
01:58:30.520 --> 01:58:35.279
the lord of brin Hall. Okay, so another omen ominous horseman.

2077
01:58:37.239 --> 01:58:41.640
As Wales shares cultural similarities with Cornwall, it is possible

2078
01:58:41.680 --> 01:58:44.000
that a version of the Welsh horseman or a Cornish

2079
01:58:44.000 --> 01:58:46.880
equivalent may have been what was known to the parents

2080
01:58:46.880 --> 01:58:50.880
of Washington Irving, who originated in Cornwall. Okay, I always

2081
01:58:50.880 --> 01:58:54.239
figured that because the headless horseman is totally the doula hand.

2082
01:58:54.279 --> 01:59:00.720
But in America basically ooh. In German folklore, headless horsemen

2083
01:59:00.800 --> 01:59:03.960
stories or headless horsemen stories come mostly from the Rhineland.

2084
01:59:04.479 --> 01:59:08.640
Rather than using decapitation, the headless horsemen killed their victims

2085
01:59:08.840 --> 01:59:14.319
simply by touching them. Oh no, I mean that's not ideal.

2086
01:59:15.039 --> 01:59:17.760
They were revenants who had to wander the earth until

2087
01:59:17.800 --> 01:59:20.840
they had atoned for their sins, sometimes by doing a

2088
01:59:20.880 --> 01:59:23.760
good deed for a stranger. But instead of showing their

2089
01:59:23.800 --> 01:59:27.239
gratitude by shaking hands, the stranger and the horsemen held

2090
01:59:27.239 --> 01:59:29.840
a tree branch between them, and the branch would wither

2091
01:59:29.880 --> 01:59:34.199
and die rather than the stranger. Okay, that's clever.

2092
01:59:34.800 --> 01:59:35.000
Yeah.

2093
01:59:35.039 --> 01:59:37.720
And the horseman guy sounds like he's okay. I mean,

2094
01:59:37.760 --> 01:59:41.239
it's just unfortunate that he touches people and then he

2095
01:59:41.359 --> 01:59:41.920
kills them.

2096
01:59:42.600 --> 01:59:44.399
Yeah, he's like rogue from X Men.

2097
01:59:44.760 --> 01:59:45.520
Yeah, exactly.

2098
01:59:46.439 --> 01:59:50.239
Another version of the legend spoke of der Kulplists writer

2099
01:59:50.720 --> 01:59:54.039
the headless horseman who would warn the living of impending

2100
01:59:54.119 --> 01:59:58.760
danger and chase down and punish the wicked. That's kind

2101
01:59:58.760 --> 02:00:02.800
of a very that's a big variants. Yeah, I either

2102
02:00:02.840 --> 02:00:04.720
warn you or I just chase down the wicked.

2103
02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:09.920
Yeah, well maybe you do both. It's like you warn people,

2104
02:00:10.039 --> 02:00:11.800
you chase down the wicked, and you got a lot

2105
02:00:11.840 --> 02:00:13.039
of jobs.

2106
02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:16.640
I mean, I don't hate that idea. Yeah. So now,

2107
02:00:16.680 --> 02:00:21.159
in English folklore, Dartmoor, an area in England ceremonial County

2108
02:00:21.199 --> 02:00:24.159
of Devon, is said to be haunted by a headless

2109
02:00:24.239 --> 02:00:28.079
rider and Arthurian legend a figure known as the Green Knight.

2110
02:00:28.520 --> 02:00:32.720
I've always known the Green Knight story, which involves a

2111
02:00:32.760 --> 02:00:36.319
head getting cut off known as the Green Knight appeared

2112
02:00:36.319 --> 02:00:38.920
before Arthur's court and challenged one man to come forward

2113
02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:41.159
and strike him with his axe, warning them that he

2114
02:00:41.159 --> 02:00:44.560
will strike them the same blow in a year. Oh

2115
02:00:45.279 --> 02:00:48.279
so in that story, a drunk guy basically is told

2116
02:00:48.319 --> 02:00:51.840
like the Green Knight comes and says like, if you

2117
02:00:51.880 --> 02:00:53.840
strike me, I will strike you. It's like a game.

2118
02:00:54.840 --> 02:00:57.279
But the drunk guy doesn't think, so he cuts the

2119
02:00:57.279 --> 02:01:02.119
Green Knight's head right off, and then the Green Knight's like, Okay,

2120
02:01:02.279 --> 02:01:04.000
see you in a year when I come and cut

2121
02:01:04.039 --> 02:01:06.840
your head off, And he's like, ah, so that's kind

2122
02:01:06.840 --> 02:01:09.039
of the story. So the guy has to go fight

2123
02:01:09.079 --> 02:01:11.039
the Green Knight to not lose his head.

2124
02:01:11.720 --> 02:01:14.359
I kind of think that he might deserve it though,

2125
02:01:14.600 --> 02:01:16.560
because he cuts the head off.

2126
02:01:17.239 --> 02:01:19.600
Well, he knew the Green Knight was incapable of dying.

2127
02:01:20.319 --> 02:01:23.680
Oh maybe it depends on the story which version you

2128
02:01:23.720 --> 02:01:24.479
read to be honest.

2129
02:01:24.800 --> 02:01:27.199
Okay, so he deserved it or he didn't. I'm not

2130
02:01:27.239 --> 02:01:27.920
really sure now.

2131
02:01:28.159 --> 02:01:32.800
Yeah, the stories about telling the truth, like the story's

2132
02:01:32.880 --> 02:01:35.880
moral is to like tell the truth and be honest.

2133
02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:42.760
Oh anyway, Gawayne, King Arthur's nephew, accepted the challenge and

2134
02:01:42.800 --> 02:01:44.640
behead of the Knight, who proceeded to retrieve his head

2135
02:01:44.680 --> 02:01:47.640
and remind Gawayne to meet him at the Green Chapel

2136
02:01:47.680 --> 02:01:52.760
to fulfill his half of the challenge. Okay, ooh ooh.

2137
02:01:53.880 --> 02:01:58.359
In American folklore in southern Texas, stories of a figure

2138
02:01:58.439 --> 02:02:03.319
known as Elmento Ooh the Death have circulated since the

2139
02:02:03.359 --> 02:02:07.199
mid eighteen hundreds. Elmerto is said to dangle his head

2140
02:02:07.199 --> 02:02:09.600
from his saddle, and his horse is variably said to

2141
02:02:09.640 --> 02:02:13.720
produce lightning from its hoofs as they strike the ground cool.

2142
02:02:14.840 --> 02:02:17.680
It has been speculated that this particular iteration of the

2143
02:02:17.720 --> 02:02:20.640
headless horseman was based on another legend in which a

2144
02:02:20.680 --> 02:02:24.800
man was captured and beheaded for stealing horses. The man

2145
02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:27.840
was then made an example of when his killers tied

2146
02:02:27.880 --> 02:02:30.880
his decapitated body to a horse, tied the head to

2147
02:02:30.920 --> 02:02:33.840
the pommel of the saddle, and sent the horse on

2148
02:02:33.960 --> 02:02:34.439
its way.

2149
02:02:35.199 --> 02:02:35.880
That's terrible.

2150
02:02:36.560 --> 02:02:40.720
That's a really cool story. Oh, I want to know

2151
02:02:40.760 --> 02:02:47.800
more about Almerto Yeah. Yeah, So in popular culture, obviously,

2152
02:02:47.840 --> 02:02:52.640
the Headless Horseman has made lots of impacts. Washington. Ermine

2153
02:02:52.680 --> 02:02:55.560
Irving's story, of course, features a character known as Headless Horseman,

2154
02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:57.640
who is believed to be a Hessian soldier who was

2155
02:02:57.680 --> 02:03:02.560
decapitated by a canniball during the American Revolution. Irving traveled

2156
02:03:02.600 --> 02:03:04.760
in Germany in eighteen twenty one and had become familiar

2157
02:03:04.800 --> 02:03:07.760
with Dutch and German folklore, in particular, the last of

2158
02:03:07.800 --> 02:03:14.880
the legendon von Ritzbahl Legends of Roots, baul about from

2159
02:03:15.319 --> 02:03:19.479
Johann Carl Augusta Massau's literary retellings of German folk tales,

2160
02:03:19.640 --> 02:03:21.520
is said to have inspired the legend of Sleepy Hollow.

2161
02:03:21.600 --> 02:03:25.479
So some people believe he got it from Cornwall, and

2162
02:03:25.520 --> 02:03:28.319
some people believe he got it from going to Germany. Okay,

2163
02:03:29.199 --> 02:03:34.039
that's really interesting. The comic book series Chopper, written by

2164
02:03:34.039 --> 02:03:37.760
Martin Shapiro, is a modern day reimagining of the Headless Horseman.

2165
02:03:37.800 --> 02:03:40.520
It features a headless outlaw biker on a motorcycle who

2166
02:03:40.600 --> 02:03:43.399
collected the souls of sinners. The only people who can

2167
02:03:43.439 --> 02:03:45.840
see him are those who have consumed a strange new

2168
02:03:45.880 --> 02:03:49.000
ecstasy like drug that triggers their sixth sense and opens

2169
02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:53.199
a gateway to the afterlife Fucking comic books man. During

2170
02:03:53.199 --> 02:03:56.560
the hallucinogenic high, any characters who have committed significant sins

2171
02:03:56.600 --> 02:03:59.479
are hunted by the headless ghost. Once the drug wears off,

2172
02:03:59.520 --> 02:04:02.920
the victim is safe and beyond the Headless Horseman's ghostly reach.

2173
02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:06.159
Oh then you just don't you just don't do the drug.

2174
02:04:06.520 --> 02:04:08.760
Oh yeah, Oh, I think you need to do the

2175
02:04:08.800 --> 02:04:13.319
drug to avoid him.

2176
02:04:13.359 --> 02:04:14.760
Maybe.

2177
02:04:15.680 --> 02:04:17.840
In film, the Headless Horseman appears in the legend of

2178
02:04:17.880 --> 02:04:21.119
Sleepy Hollow segment of the Adventures of Ichabod and Mister Toad.

2179
02:04:21.199 --> 02:04:23.600
Just like the story, the Headless Horseman pursues Akabad Crane,

2180
02:04:23.760 --> 02:04:26.319
which ends with the Headless Horseman throwing his pumpkin head

2181
02:04:26.319 --> 02:04:28.960
at him. While it was mentioned that what happened to

2182
02:04:29.000 --> 02:04:33.880
Ichabod's hat was found near the shattered pumpkin, what happened

2183
02:04:33.920 --> 02:04:36.600
to Acabad's hat was found near the Shatter Pumpkin, a

2184
02:04:36.680 --> 02:04:39.439
rumor was mentioned that he had married a wealthy widow

2185
02:04:39.640 --> 02:04:41.960
in a distant county with children who look like him

2186
02:04:42.439 --> 02:04:45.439
in the film The Horseman. In the film The Horseman

2187
02:04:45.479 --> 02:04:48.000
is depicted as an actual ghost rather than Brahm in

2188
02:04:48.039 --> 02:04:52.079
disguise like in the book. This rendition of the Headless

2189
02:04:52.079 --> 02:04:54.600
Horseman was also featured in the television series House of

2190
02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:58.199
Mouse in recurring appearances, along with the twenty twenty three

2191
02:04:58.239 --> 02:05:02.439
short film Once Upon a Star Studio. In nineteen thirty nine,

2192
02:05:02.439 --> 02:05:05.560
Will Hey, the Will Hay comedy Aska Policeman a headless

2193
02:05:05.840 --> 02:05:08.680
In that film, a headless horseman appears in connection with

2194
02:05:08.720 --> 02:05:11.239
a smuggling ring. And then, of course there's the Tim

2195
02:05:11.239 --> 02:05:13.600
Burton film in nineteen eighty nine. In two thousand and seven,

2196
02:05:13.640 --> 02:05:16.680
the Sci Fi Channels Headless Horseman takes the tack that

2197
02:05:16.840 --> 02:05:20.279
Washington Irving's story was the whitewashed version and the events

2198
02:05:20.279 --> 02:05:23.640
in this horror film is the real true story. I

2199
02:05:23.720 --> 02:05:26.399
remember Sci Fi Channels Headless Horseman because it was super

2200
02:05:26.439 --> 02:05:27.000
gory and.

2201
02:05:27.079 --> 02:05:29.840
Violent, huh.

2202
02:05:29.880 --> 02:05:32.960
It stars Richard Mole, Billy Aaron Brown and is directed

2203
02:05:32.960 --> 02:05:35.359
by Anthony C. Ferrante, who would later go on to

2204
02:05:35.439 --> 02:05:40.600
direct the Sharknado movies. Oh this I didn't know about.

2205
02:05:40.640 --> 02:05:43.319
In two thousand and two or twenty two, The Asylum,

2206
02:05:43.359 --> 02:05:45.800
the film company that makes the head or that made

2207
02:05:46.039 --> 02:05:48.800
the Shark Nado movies, made a film The Headless Horseman,

2208
02:05:48.880 --> 02:05:52.199
directed by Jose Prendez. Actually, no Jose's work some I

2209
02:05:52.279 --> 02:05:55.279
might have to go search that one out. Sorry, I'm

2210
02:05:55.439 --> 02:05:58.840
my voice is, I'm my tongue is like, please let

2211
02:05:58.880 --> 02:06:03.720
me die. In television, Colchak The night Stalker had an

2212
02:06:03.720 --> 02:06:07.560
episode Chopper, initially broadcast January thirty first, nineteen seventy five,

2213
02:06:07.720 --> 02:06:10.800
which featured a headless motorcyclist who enacts revenge on the

2214
02:06:10.840 --> 02:06:13.199
loss of his head to a rival biker gang twenty

2215
02:06:13.279 --> 02:06:17.840
years after his murder. In nineteen ninety nine, season four,

2216
02:06:17.880 --> 02:06:21.960
Hey Arnold, episode fourteen, The Headless Cabby depicts a headless

2217
02:06:22.000 --> 02:06:26.359
cab driver. I totally remember that. Yeah, I'm gonna watch

2218
02:06:26.399 --> 02:06:29.800
that tonight. I'm gonna pull that up on Paramount plus

2219
02:06:30.239 --> 02:06:33.039
So And there are a few others as well. There's

2220
02:06:33.039 --> 02:06:36.000
also a video game. Video games that have a headless horseman,

2221
02:06:36.039 --> 02:06:39.680
like Assassin's Creed three, The Binding of Isaac, Rebirth, The

2222
02:06:39.680 --> 02:06:47.159
Elder Scrolls five, Skyrim, Castlevania, Rondo of Blood, Roadblocks, Team

2223
02:06:47.199 --> 02:06:53.319
Fortress two, and World of Warcraft. So yany goodness gracious?

2224
02:06:54.239 --> 02:06:57.239
The Headless Horseman mascot for Sleepy Hollow High School in

2225
02:06:57.279 --> 02:07:00.000
Westchester County, New York has been referred to as america

2226
02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:04.880
His scariest high school mascot. Since nineteen eighty three, Connor

2227
02:07:04.920 --> 02:07:09.039
Prairie Interactive Historical Park in Fisher's, Indiana has held a

2228
02:07:09.079 --> 02:07:14.079
Headless Horseman Festival, celebrating the legend with a haunted corn

2229
02:07:14.119 --> 02:07:17.119
maze and other activities. The horseman is also seen as

2230
02:07:17.159 --> 02:07:21.479
a costumed character on a horse. So that is nearly

2231
02:07:21.520 --> 02:07:25.079
everything you need to know about the Headless Horseman. And

2232
02:07:26.039 --> 02:07:28.479
I'm glad I'm a better man for having learned it.

2233
02:07:28.520 --> 02:07:31.600
How about you, Michelle, I'm definitely not a better man

2234
02:07:31.840 --> 02:07:32.920
from having learned it.

2235
02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:37.479
Shame. Well, we're gonna take a quick break and then

2236
02:07:37.479 --> 02:07:40.560
we're gonna start wrapping up with some news about horror media.

2237
02:07:40.600 --> 02:07:44.399
I've looked at some little Reddit spookies and just generally

2238
02:07:44.479 --> 02:07:46.600
saying we hope you have a happy Halloween. But we're

2239
02:07:46.600 --> 02:07:57.279
gonna get to all of that right after this, and

2240
02:07:57.319 --> 02:08:01.880
we're back wrapping up. This October twenty twenty four edition

2241
02:08:02.039 --> 02:08:05.119
of Monthly Spooky Halloween is coming right up, and I

2242
02:08:05.119 --> 02:08:08.039
want to mention real quick that tomorrow right here on

2243
02:08:08.079 --> 02:08:10.159
the podcast, we'll have an episode of do You Even

2244
02:08:10.199 --> 02:08:14.039
Movie reviewing Satan's Little Helper, one of my favorite Halloween

2245
02:08:14.039 --> 02:08:19.079
horror films. Then on Wednesday, we have a Halloween Valentine

2246
02:08:19.239 --> 02:08:23.880
by Rob Fields, which is a novella, so be ready

2247
02:08:23.880 --> 02:08:27.479
for that. It's a nice, long, scary story. And then

2248
02:08:27.520 --> 02:08:30.079
we wrap everything up with a brand new story from

2249
02:08:30.159 --> 02:08:34.119
Shane migliovaka the man who wrote the first ever episode

2250
02:08:34.119 --> 02:08:36.840
of Weekly Spooky and who has written a story every

2251
02:08:36.920 --> 02:08:40.840
Halloween since, so make sure you stick around. And then,

2252
02:08:41.439 --> 02:08:43.520
because of the way things worked out, they'll be a

2253
02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:46.840
thirty second show in a row on Friday, as we

2254
02:08:46.960 --> 02:08:50.960
do our big Old Thanksgiving Horror Story compilation, where we

2255
02:08:51.079 --> 02:08:54.720
compile all of the previous year's Thanksgiving stories into one

2256
02:08:55.359 --> 02:08:59.359
plump place. I also want to mention this year for

2257
02:08:59.479 --> 02:09:03.359
Thanksgiving we are doing a novella, so there is an

2258
02:09:03.399 --> 02:09:06.920
extra special episode the day before Thanksgiving which you can

2259
02:09:07.039 --> 02:09:11.479
enjoy as you drive to your relatives or to the

2260
02:09:11.520 --> 02:09:14.680
local cracker barrel wherever you end up spending your Thanksgiving.

2261
02:09:15.119 --> 02:09:20.319
So with that all being said, I have some horror

2262
02:09:20.359 --> 02:09:23.840
media to mention. Some films I've watched, some that are

2263
02:09:23.840 --> 02:09:26.159
brand spanking new, some that were in the theater just

2264
02:09:26.199 --> 02:09:28.920
for Halloween, and some that were on streaming but brand

2265
02:09:28.920 --> 02:09:32.239
new had just come out. So first of all, I

2266
02:09:32.279 --> 02:09:35.439
got to see the Texas Chainsaw Mascer the original in

2267
02:09:35.520 --> 02:09:39.479
the theater right at the start of the month. That's cool,

2268
02:09:39.720 --> 02:09:44.159
I guess it was awesome. I have always thought Texas

2269
02:09:44.239 --> 02:09:48.199
Chainsaw Mascer was a very sincerely scary film. It always

2270
02:09:48.199 --> 02:09:51.680
freaked me out, and seeing it big and loud, there's

2271
02:09:51.720 --> 02:09:55.920
no better way to see it. This was the third

2272
02:09:56.159 --> 02:09:58.920
time I've seen it in the theater, though, so you

2273
02:09:58.920 --> 02:10:01.479
know I've seen it before, but it was the four

2274
02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:07.600
K restoration and it looked amazing cool. I mean, I

2275
02:10:07.600 --> 02:10:10.199
had a great time. I brought like twelve friends with me,

2276
02:10:10.399 --> 02:10:12.960
so it was pretty cool, none of which are available

2277
02:10:13.000 --> 02:10:17.119
to go to Haunts now Jerks. So then I saw

2278
02:10:17.159 --> 02:10:20.000
the number one horror film in America, although Smile two

2279
02:10:20.119 --> 02:10:24.239
might beat it. Terrifier three, the independent film that has

2280
02:10:24.279 --> 02:10:26.319
become a huge hit and made like thirty million dollars

2281
02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:29.800
at the box office. It is a Christmas themed horror movie,

2282
02:10:29.800 --> 02:10:31.399
so it was a little off putting to watch it

2283
02:10:31.439 --> 02:10:34.600
in October. But I get why they did it in October.

2284
02:10:34.640 --> 02:10:37.560
It makes sense, but they released it in October. But

2285
02:10:37.640 --> 02:10:39.159
it was a little off putting because it was all,

2286
02:10:39.199 --> 02:10:42.880
you know, decorations and Christmas songs. But I enjoyed it,

2287
02:10:42.960 --> 02:10:45.079
you know, for what it was. It's I'm not really

2288
02:10:45.079 --> 02:10:48.520
into super gory movies, but I am into watching wild

2289
02:10:48.560 --> 02:10:51.479
and crazy films with big audiences because you get to

2290
02:10:51.479 --> 02:10:55.239
hear people gasp and shout and it's a lot of fun.

2291
02:10:55.479 --> 02:10:58.760
I had a great time seeing Terrifier three, and then

2292
02:10:58.880 --> 02:11:01.399
you want to talk about another that's weird and causes

2293
02:11:01.439 --> 02:11:05.439
people to gasp and get confused. I saw The Substance,

2294
02:11:06.439 --> 02:11:09.640
which is a very very strange kind of science fiction

2295
02:11:09.720 --> 02:11:12.840
horror film. I actually rewatched it last night because Dave

2296
02:11:12.880 --> 02:11:14.319
wanted to see it in the theater and they had

2297
02:11:14.359 --> 02:11:17.319
done a special extra show because it had been out

2298
02:11:17.319 --> 02:11:18.680
of the theater for a week and a half and

2299
02:11:18.720 --> 02:11:19.479
they brought it back.

2300
02:11:19.960 --> 02:11:20.439
Oh cool.

2301
02:11:21.199 --> 02:11:25.000
It stars Demi Moore as an aging actress who finds

2302
02:11:25.039 --> 02:11:28.720
out that with a certain special substance, she can create

2303
02:11:28.800 --> 02:11:33.840
a second herself that is younger, more attractive, and can

2304
02:11:33.960 --> 02:11:39.960
own Hollywood again basically. But it's very weird and very different.

2305
02:11:40.159 --> 02:11:42.279
And one of the things is there are very specific

2306
02:11:42.359 --> 02:11:45.880
rules like that you have to spend seven days as

2307
02:11:45.880 --> 02:11:49.159
your other self, then spend seven days as yourself again,

2308
02:11:49.520 --> 02:11:51.880
and go back and forth. You are the same person,

2309
02:11:52.439 --> 02:11:55.239
but as the film progresses, they start to seem like

2310
02:11:55.279 --> 02:11:57.560
they're not the same person and like one of them

2311
02:11:57.880 --> 02:11:59.840
would be happy to do away with the other.

2312
02:12:00.439 --> 02:12:02.439
Well, I mean, I wouldn't want another may so I

2313
02:12:02.479 --> 02:12:03.760
get it.

2314
02:12:03.760 --> 02:12:06.000
It's weird though, because they don't. They're not like literally

2315
02:12:06.000 --> 02:12:08.520
a younger version of you. It is a younger you,

2316
02:12:09.159 --> 02:12:10.199
but not literally you.

2317
02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:12.479
Huh.

2318
02:12:12.560 --> 02:12:16.399
So it's yeah, it's very very strange, hard to describe.

2319
02:12:16.680 --> 02:12:18.800
The movie is two hours of twenty minutes, and the

2320
02:12:18.880 --> 02:12:22.720
last twenty minutes is so insane you're not even ready.

2321
02:12:23.279 --> 02:12:26.079
Like people were going what the fuck in the theater,

2322
02:12:26.239 --> 02:12:29.399
like out loud, over and over again. It was awesome.

2323
02:12:29.479 --> 02:12:31.359
We went to a ten o'clock show, so the movie

2324
02:12:31.479 --> 02:12:34.439
ended at like twelve forty five at night. Wow, And

2325
02:12:34.479 --> 02:12:37.000
people were just like what the fuck? On a Wednesday

2326
02:12:37.039 --> 02:12:39.760
or on a Tuesday too, it was awesome, like cool,

2327
02:12:40.640 --> 02:12:43.600
So that was super fun. Then I saw Mister Crockett

2328
02:12:43.680 --> 02:12:48.479
on Hulu. Hulu was releasing exclusive Halloween horror films this month.

2329
02:12:48.840 --> 02:12:51.159
That was the first one. It's about a children's show

2330
02:12:51.239 --> 02:12:54.439
host who dies and becomes a weird kind of ghost

2331
02:12:54.600 --> 02:13:00.600
that steals children and then punishes their bad parents, so

2332
02:13:00.640 --> 02:13:04.239
they end up in like his television studio in the afterlife,

2333
02:13:04.239 --> 02:13:07.960
the children do after he horribly maims and mangles their parents.

2334
02:13:08.600 --> 02:13:10.640
Okay, all right, And.

2335
02:13:10.600 --> 02:13:13.560
The way he's disseminated is via a VHS tape that

2336
02:13:13.680 --> 02:13:17.239
kids start to watch and get obsessed with. So that

2337
02:13:17.319 --> 02:13:21.640
one was super fun and creepy and surprisingly bloody, very gory.

2338
02:13:22.439 --> 02:13:25.960
So then the next film I watched was on Netflix.

2339
02:13:25.960 --> 02:13:27.840
It was a Netflix release for this month. It was

2340
02:13:27.840 --> 02:13:32.600
called It's What's Inside. This was a science fiction horror

2341
02:13:32.680 --> 02:13:35.880
thing that got really weird and confusing, but in a

2342
02:13:35.920 --> 02:13:40.640
really fun way. Basically, this tech bro friend invites all

2343
02:13:40.680 --> 02:13:44.399
of his friends over for a party, and at the party,

2344
02:13:44.439 --> 02:13:46.479
he reveals that what he and his tech buddies have

2345
02:13:46.520 --> 02:13:50.520
been working on is a game where you can switch

2346
02:13:50.920 --> 02:13:54.600
You basically switch minds and then you try to guess

2347
02:13:54.640 --> 02:13:57.279
who is actually in each other's bodies.

2348
02:13:57.600 --> 02:13:58.560
Okay, all right.

2349
02:13:59.520 --> 02:14:03.560
But then people start living out fantasies they wanted to

2350
02:14:03.600 --> 02:14:08.039
live out by being other people. They start doing other

2351
02:14:08.199 --> 02:14:12.039
things that could harm their friendships and relationships. And then

2352
02:14:12.399 --> 02:14:16.960
two people die, and the question becomes what happens to

2353
02:14:17.760 --> 02:14:20.680
the people whose bodies are dead? And what happens to

2354
02:14:20.680 --> 02:14:24.239
the people who are in that can't switch back anymore?

2355
02:14:24.279 --> 02:14:27.760
What happens to their bodies? And it becomes extremely confusing

2356
02:14:28.119 --> 02:14:31.760
in a really fun and scary way. Cool it is.

2357
02:14:31.920 --> 02:14:35.159
It wasn't a perfect film, but I really enjoyed it.

2358
02:14:35.159 --> 02:14:38.760
It was weird and confusing, and the characters really lived

2359
02:14:38.800 --> 02:14:41.560
and breathed like I felt like I was sad for them,

2360
02:14:42.720 --> 02:14:45.359
So I really liked it. That was called It's What's Inside.

2361
02:14:45.479 --> 02:14:48.840
It's streaming on Netflix right now. And then finally, my

2362
02:14:48.920 --> 02:14:51.760
last Halloween movie that I managed to watch because I've

2363
02:14:51.760 --> 02:14:55.319
been now watching movies before bed because I'm finally not

2364
02:14:55.399 --> 02:15:00.279
working till three am anymore, I watched Carved on Who

2365
02:15:01.560 --> 02:15:05.840
and Carved is about killer jack o' lanterns, killer pumpkins. Really,

2366
02:15:06.920 --> 02:15:08.880
they come to life and start killing all the people

2367
02:15:08.880 --> 02:15:12.680
who were in a Jack lannern carving contest. Oh oh,

2368
02:15:12.680 --> 02:15:16.760
it's pretty fun. Yeah for revenge, Yeah, it's pretty fun,

2369
02:15:17.199 --> 02:15:21.479
kind of stupid. It's definitely a horror comedy. The only

2370
02:15:21.520 --> 02:15:23.319
thing I didn't love was that it like they play

2371
02:15:23.319 --> 02:15:26.359
it for jokes, but then the deaths were like really gruesome.

2372
02:15:27.239 --> 02:15:29.560
Like they would kind of play things for laughs, but

2373
02:15:29.560 --> 02:15:31.000
then they would have a character that you were like

2374
02:15:31.079 --> 02:15:33.159
really worried about because he seemed really nice, but then

2375
02:15:33.159 --> 02:15:34.960
they like find his severed head and it's supposed to

2376
02:15:34.960 --> 02:15:37.119
be funny, and I'm like, for me, it's like, I'm like,

2377
02:15:37.159 --> 02:15:40.840
that's not funny. I feel it's awful that he's dead. Yeah,

2378
02:15:40.840 --> 02:15:43.600
because I am a fuddy duddy. I'm not fun anymore.

2379
02:15:43.720 --> 02:15:47.039
I'm old. So but but I did enjoy it. It

2380
02:15:47.079 --> 02:15:50.800
had really great special effects, lots of fun characters, memorable moments,

2381
02:15:51.760 --> 02:15:56.319
but it was just really violent and gruesome. So carved

2382
02:15:56.760 --> 02:15:59.760
perfect Halloween movie because it's literally about Jack o' lanterns,

2383
02:15:59.840 --> 02:16:04.399
and that's on Hulu, so a lot of horror media rightfully.

2384
02:16:04.399 --> 02:16:09.520
So Also, I just started watching Hysteria on Peacock, which

2385
02:16:09.560 --> 02:16:12.199
is a television series about the Satanic panic in the

2386
02:16:12.279 --> 02:16:15.600
nineteen eighties. It's eight part series. I've only watched one episode.

2387
02:16:15.640 --> 02:16:18.039
I really liked it. I'm hoping to watch the entire

2388
02:16:18.239 --> 02:16:21.840
rest of it before Halloween is over. So those are

2389
02:16:22.039 --> 02:16:25.319
my media. I know. Usually it's like two things, but

2390
02:16:25.399 --> 02:16:29.920
this time it was a bunch, so yay. But what

2391
02:16:29.960 --> 02:16:31.800
about you, cheld Do you have anything creepy from Reddit?

2392
02:16:33.079 --> 02:16:35.040
You know, you'd think that there'd be more creepy stuff

2393
02:16:35.040 --> 02:16:37.520
because it's this month, but there really wasn't a whole lot.

2394
02:16:37.840 --> 02:16:38.079
I did.

2395
02:16:38.239 --> 02:16:40.360
I do have something, but I'm a little bit pissed

2396
02:16:40.399 --> 02:16:43.360
off because I saved it and it's didn't save So

2397
02:16:43.520 --> 02:16:47.479
maybe that's a glitch in the matrix. But I'll tell

2398
02:16:47.479 --> 02:16:49.760
you about it because I think I remember it well enough.

2399
02:16:51.840 --> 02:16:55.200
So like there's this couple I guess, and they're like

2400
02:16:55.280 --> 02:16:59.159
drive it on the highway or something, and they passed

2401
02:16:59.200 --> 02:17:02.639
like this really bad accident, like there's a there's a van,

2402
02:17:02.760 --> 02:17:05.120
like a white van, and it's like accordion, like it's

2403
02:17:05.159 --> 02:17:07.520
all fucked up, and they pass it and like there's

2404
02:17:07.559 --> 02:17:09.440
not any cops or anything. So they're like, we need

2405
02:17:09.479 --> 02:17:12.479
to call like the cops, like right now, and they're

2406
02:17:12.520 --> 02:17:14.479
so worried that they get off the next exit and

2407
02:17:14.520 --> 02:17:17.200
like turn back, come back around so that they can

2408
02:17:17.200 --> 02:17:19.840
see if the people need help, so they call the cops.

2409
02:17:20.680 --> 02:17:22.840
Cops are gonna come out or whatever because they're cops.

2410
02:17:23.280 --> 02:17:26.120
They get back to where that car is and it

2411
02:17:26.319 --> 02:17:29.440
the white van is there, but now it's just a

2412
02:17:29.479 --> 02:17:32.159
car pulled over with like a dude changing his tire.

2413
02:17:32.280 --> 02:17:35.879
Like it wasn't an accident. It was just like a

2414
02:17:35.920 --> 02:17:38.559
car that got you know, blown out a tire, I guess,

2415
02:17:38.639 --> 02:17:41.559
And they're just like, what the fuck And they have

2416
02:17:41.680 --> 02:17:45.719
no idea. They never find the accident. It's the same van,

2417
02:17:45.840 --> 02:17:48.959
but it's not destroyed anymore, and they do have a

2418
02:17:48.959 --> 02:17:51.799
record of calling the police.

2419
02:17:52.000 --> 02:17:56.120
Wow. Yeah, that's that's a hard one to figure out.

2420
02:17:56.159 --> 02:17:57.040
What could have happened?

2421
02:17:57.520 --> 02:18:01.239
Yeah, well, what if they saw a vision of the

2422
02:18:01.280 --> 02:18:04.280
future and that dude was changing his tire and then

2423
02:18:04.319 --> 02:18:07.360
somebody hit him in the future. It hasn't happened yet.

2424
02:18:08.719 --> 02:18:13.479
I'll tell you why. That's that doesn't make any sense. No,

2425
02:18:13.719 --> 02:18:17.000
I'll tell you why. I don't think that because he

2426
02:18:18.000 --> 02:18:23.360
was in the same relative area but hadn't crashed like so,

2427
02:18:23.520 --> 02:18:26.959
I think that that was that they skipped universes. That means,

2428
02:18:26.959 --> 02:18:29.559
in this alternate universe, he just had a blowtout tire.

2429
02:18:29.799 --> 02:18:30.959
That's what most people thought.

2430
02:18:31.239 --> 02:18:33.959
Yeah, of course, I'm sorry. I'm just going with the

2431
02:18:34.000 --> 02:18:38.360
crowd as usual. Yeah, but that is creepy. And I

2432
02:18:38.399 --> 02:18:40.520
would be very weirded out if I'd called the police

2433
02:18:40.559 --> 02:18:42.559
because I saw a car accident and then it wasn't there.

2434
02:18:42.920 --> 02:18:44.840
Yeah, And I mean it's not like the car was

2435
02:18:44.920 --> 02:18:46.520
just like on the side of the road. It was

2436
02:18:46.520 --> 02:18:48.440
scary enough that they were like, we need to call

2437
02:18:48.479 --> 02:18:49.239
the cops, like.

2438
02:18:49.280 --> 02:18:52.000
Now right right. It wasn't just kind of halfway in

2439
02:18:52.040 --> 02:18:54.159
a ditch. It was wrecked severely.

2440
02:18:54.680 --> 02:18:56.959
Yeah, and it was two people that both saw it,

2441
02:18:57.040 --> 02:19:00.040
so shoot, Yeah.

2442
02:19:00.120 --> 02:19:02.280
They have a carbon monoxide detector in their car.

2443
02:19:02.840 --> 02:19:05.799
No, but they should can imagine if there are carbon

2444
02:19:05.840 --> 02:19:07.639
monoxide detectors in your car.

2445
02:19:08.520 --> 02:19:11.120
Oh, we have them. I don't know.

2446
02:19:11.799 --> 02:19:12.719
We should get them.

2447
02:19:13.479 --> 02:19:16.079
Uh. I think it's time you start a business making

2448
02:19:16.079 --> 02:19:18.639
carbon monoxide detectors for inside cars.

2449
02:19:18.959 --> 02:19:19.239
Yeah.

2450
02:19:19.520 --> 02:19:21.639
It would only work for so long because once we

2451
02:19:21.680 --> 02:19:24.440
all transition to electric I'm going to lose my company.

2452
02:19:25.680 --> 02:19:27.840
Well then you'd be like that it's even more important

2453
02:19:27.840 --> 02:19:30.799
because you become cocky assuming there'll be no carbon monoxide

2454
02:19:30.799 --> 02:19:33.520
in your car just because it uses electricity.

2455
02:19:33.120 --> 02:19:36.120
And it doesn't have anything that has carbon monoxide near it.

2456
02:19:36.159 --> 02:19:37.040
But you never know.

2457
02:19:37.719 --> 02:19:41.799
But that's what they want you to think. Yeah, whose they?

2458
02:19:42.079 --> 02:19:43.120
You know who they is?

2459
02:19:43.680 --> 02:19:45.239
Yeah?

2460
02:19:45.319 --> 02:19:49.159
Well, on that note, Shell, I guess it's time to

2461
02:19:49.200 --> 02:19:54.479
wrap up this Halloween twenty twenty four episode of Monthly Spooky.

2462
02:19:55.079 --> 02:19:57.440
We've been doing Monthly Spooky for like two years now.

2463
02:19:57.959 --> 02:19:58.600
That's weird.

2464
02:19:58.680 --> 02:20:06.440
Whoa shit? Sorry? Did did? Did my speaker go crazy?

2465
02:20:06.799 --> 02:20:06.879
No?

2466
02:20:07.239 --> 02:20:12.000
Did you hear anything? No? Oh? Sorry nothing, No one

2467
02:20:12.360 --> 02:20:15.159
saw anything. What I was trying to do is pull

2468
02:20:15.239 --> 02:20:17.559
up the Patreon backers list so I could thank them

2469
02:20:17.600 --> 02:20:20.239
real quick. But before we do that, I just want

2470
02:20:20.280 --> 02:20:22.879
to say thank you, Chelle. We've been doing Monthly Spooky

2471
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:27.959
now for more than two years. That's weird, and I

2472
02:20:28.040 --> 02:20:30.280
just really appreciate it. I have a great time doing

2473
02:20:30.319 --> 02:20:32.360
this with you, and I'm so happy when we get

2474
02:20:32.360 --> 02:20:35.920
people writing in and saying that they love Weekly Spooky,

2475
02:20:35.959 --> 02:20:39.879
and then they'll even call out you and my buddy Dave.

2476
02:20:40.239 --> 02:20:42.120
They'll call you guys out and say like you're part

2477
02:20:42.159 --> 02:20:43.360
of why they enjoy the show.

2478
02:20:43.879 --> 02:20:45.479
Then they're so confused.

2479
02:20:47.079 --> 02:20:49.959
I don't know about all that, but maybe so I

2480
02:20:50.040 --> 02:20:52.520
just want to say thank you Chell very very much,

2481
02:20:52.520 --> 02:20:55.040
and thank you everybody for listening and tuning in and

2482
02:20:55.079 --> 02:20:58.239
subscribing to this podcast as you discover it the spooky

2483
02:20:58.239 --> 02:21:00.799
season or have been with us for a long time.

2484
02:21:03.680 --> 02:21:07.559
So yeah, thank you for that input.

2485
